INTRODUCTION
 
We maintain our accounts in Renminbi yuan (“Renminbi” or “RMB”), the lawful currency of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”). References herein to “US$” or “U.S. Dollars” are to United States Dollars, references to “HK$” are to Hong Kong Dollars, and references to “S$” are to Singapore Dollars. References to ADRs and ADSs are to American Depositary Receipts and American Depositary Shares, respectively. Translations of amounts from Renminbi to U.S. Dollars are solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise indicated, any translations from Renminbi to U.S. Dollars or from U.S. Dollars to Renminbi were translated at the average rate announced by the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC Rate”) on December 30, 2011 of US$1.00 to RMB6.3009. No representation is made that the Renminbi or U.S. Dollar amounts referred to herein could have been or could be converted into U.S. Dollars or Renminbi, as the case may be, at the PBOC Rate or at all.
 
References to “A Shares” are to common tradable shares issued to domestic shareholders.
 
References to the “central government” refer to the national government of the PRC and its various ministries, agencies and commissions.

The Company enjoys priority railway transportation services with respect to coal purchased under such contracts. Starting from 2008, NDRC ceased to coordinate annual national coal purchase conference. At the end of each year subsequent to 2008, the Ministry of Railways will promulgate the railway transportation capacity plan for the next year. References to the “key contracts” for the year 2008 and thereafter refer to coal purchase contracts entered into between the Company and coal suppliers under the guidance of such railway transportation capacity plan, which, once confirmed by the Ministry of Railways, secures the railway transportation capacity for the coal purchased thereunder.

Risks relating to our business and the PRC’s power industry
 
Government regulation of on-grid power tariffs and other aspects of the power industry may adversely affect our business
 
                Similar to electric power companies in other countries, we are subject to governmental and electric grid regulations in virtually all aspects of our operations, including the amount and timing of electricity generations, the setting of on-grid tariffs, the performance of scheduled maintenance and compliance with power grid control and dispatch directives and environment protection. There can be no assurance that these regulations will not change in the future in a manner which could adversely affect our business.
 
                The on-grid tariffs for our planned output are subject to a review and approval process involving the NDRC and the relevant provincial government. Prior to April 2001, the on-grid tariffs of our planned output were designed to enable us to recover all operating and debt servicing costs and to earn a fixed rate of return. Since April 2001, however, the PRC government has started to gradually implement a new on-grid tariff-setting mechanism based on the operating terms of power plants as well as the average costs of comparable power plants. Pursuant to the NDRC circular issued in June 2004, the on-grid tariffs for our newly built power generating units commencing operation from June 2004 have been set on the basis of the average cost of comparable units adding tax and reasonable return in the regional grid. Any future reductions in our tariffs, or our inability to raise tariffs (for example, to cover any increased costs we may have to incur) as a result of the new on-grid tariff-setting mechanism, may adversely affect our revenue and profit.
 
                In addition, the PRC government started in 1999 to experiment with a program to effect power sales through competitive bidding in some of the provinces where we operate our power plants. The on-grid tariffs for power sold through competitive bidding are generally lower than the pre-approved on-grid tariffs for planned output. In recent few years, power sales through competitive bidding were not effected in any province where we operate our power plants. Nevertheless, we can not assure that the PRC government will not expand the program in the future. Any increased power sales through competitive bidding may reduce our on-grid tariffs and may adversely affect our revenue and profits.
 
Furthermore, the PRC government started in 2009 to promote the practice of direct power purchase by large power end-users. Pursuant to the circular jointly issued by NDRC, The State Electricity Regulatory Commission (“SERC”) and China National Energy Administration in June 2009, the direct power purchase price consists of direct transaction price, on-grid dispatch and distribution price and governmental levies and charges, in which the direct transaction price shall be freely determined through negotiation between the power generation company and the large power end-user. The price of direct power purchase shall be subject to the demand in the power market, and may increase due to power supply shortfall. Furthermore, the scale and mode of the transaction are also subject to the structure and level of development of local economy. In terms of power generation company engaged in direct power purchase, direct power sales constitute a portion of the total power sales, thus affecting the on-grid power sales of the company. In 2011, the PRC government continued the reform in the area of direct power purchase by large power end-users. Although the direct power purchase may act as an alternative channel for our power sales, there is uncertainty as to the effect of the practice of direct power purchase over our operating results.
 
The on-grid tariff-setting mechanism is evolving with the reforming of the PRC electric power industry. There is no assurance that it will not change in a manner which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. See “Item 4 Information of the Company – B. Business Overview – Pricing Policy”.
 
If our power plants receive less dispatching than planned generation, the power plants will sell less electricity than planned
 
                Our profitability depends, in part, upon each of our power plants generating electricity at a level sufficient to meet or exceed the planned generation, which in turn will be subject to local demand for electric power and dispatching to the grids by the dispatch centres of the local grid companies.
 
                The dispatch of electric power generated by a power plant is controlled by the dispatch centre of the applicable grid companies pursuant to a dispatch agreement with us and to governmental dispatch regulations. In each of the markets we operate, we compete against other power plants for power sales. No assurance can be given that the dispatch centres will dispatch the full amount of the planned generation of our power plants. A reduction by the dispatch centre in the amount of electric power dispatched relative to a power plant’s planned generation could have an adverse effect on the profitability of our operations. However, we have not encountered any such event in the past.
 
                In August 2007, General Office of the State Council issued a notice, providing that the energy saving and electricity dispatch shall consolidate with the development of the power market, which optimize the power market. In October 2008, the SERC approved the trial implementation of the policy of energy saving and
 
 
 
3

 
 
 
electricity dispatch in certain pilot provinces. In 2011, the PRC government continued promoting the policy of energy saving and electricity dispatch. There can be no assurance that such implementation will not results in any decrease in the amount of the power dispatched of any of our power plants.
 
The power industry reform may affect our business
 
                PRC government in 2002 announced and started to implement measures to further reform the power industry, with the ultimate goal to create a more open and fair power market. As part of the reform, five power generation companies, including Huaneng Group, were created or restructured to take over all the power generation assets originally belonging to the State Power Corporation of China. In addition, two grid companies were created to take over the power transmission and distribution assets originally belonging to the State Power Corporation of China. An independent power supervisory commission, the SERC, was created to regulate the power industry. It is uncertain how these reform measures and any further reforms are going to be implemented and how they will impact our business.
 
                2011 is the first year of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, and the PRC government continued the reform in power industry. It is expected that the PRC government will continue to promote the reform in power industry during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period. The further reform will not only bring opportunities to power industry but also intensify the competition which may adversely affect our business.
 
We are effectively controlled by Huaneng Group and HIPDC, whose interests may differ from those of our other shareholders
 
                Huaneng Group, directly or through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, holds 15.87% of our total outstanding shares, and HIPDC directly holds 36.05% of our total outstanding shares. As Huaneng Group is HIPDC’s parent company, they may exert effective control over us acting in concert. Their interests may sometimes conflict with those of our other minority shareholders. There is no assurance that Huaneng Group and HIPDC will always vote their shares, or direct the directors nominated by them to act in a way that will benefit our other minority shareholders.
 
Disruption in coal supply and its transportation as well as increase in coal price may adversely affect the normal operation of our power plants
 
                A substantial majority of our power plants are fueled by coal. We have obtained coal for our power plants through a combination of purchases pursuant to the key contracts and purchases in the open market. We have not experienced shutdowns or reduced electricity generation caused by inadequate coal supply or transportation services, there can be no assurance that, in the event of national coal supply shortfalls, our operations will not be adversely affected. In addition, our results of operations are sensitive to the fluctuation of coal price. Since 2003, the continuous increase of coal price has increased our costs substantially and caused our profits to decline. Although the government has established a coal-electricity price linkage mechanism to allow power generation companies to increase their power tariffs to cope with the increase of coal price, the implementation of the mechanism involves significant uncertainties. There is no assurance that we will be able to adjust our power tariff to pass on the increase of coal price to our customers. For a detailed discussion of the coal-electricity price linkage mechanism, see “Item 4 Information of the Company-B. Business Overview – Pricing Policy”. Starting from 2009, in furtherance of the coal purchase reform, NDRC ceased to coordinate annual coal purchase conference and will no longer make allocation of coal supply to power companies, although coal price may still be influenced by measures implemented by NDRC and other government authorities. The price and amount of coal supply will be determined based on free negotiation between power companies, coal suppliers and railway authorities, which increases the uncertainty of the coal supply and the coal price and may adversely affect our operations.
 
Power plant development, acquisition and construction are a complex and time-consuming process, the delay of which may negatively affect the implementation of our growth strategy
 
                We develop, construct, manage and operate large power plants. Our success depends upon our ability to secure all required PRC Government approvals, power sales and dispatch agreements, construction contracts, fuel supply and transportation and electricity transmission arrangements. Delay or failure to secure any of these could increase cost or delay or prevent commercial operation of the affected power plant. Although each of our power plants in operation and the power plants under construction received all required PRC Government approvals in a timely fashion, no assurances can be given that all the future projects will receive approvals in a timely fashion or at all. In addition, the PRC Government approval requirements and procedures for thermal power plant are increasingly stringent, due to national policies and related regulations promoting environmental friendly energy.
 
                We have generally acted as, and intend to continue to act as, the general contractor for the construction of our power plants. As with any major infrastructure construction effort, the construction of a power plant involves many risks, including shortages of equipment, material and labor, labor disturbances, accidents, inclement weather, unforeseen engineering, environmental, geological, delays and other problems and
 
 
 
4

 
 
 
unanticipated cost increases, any of which could give rise to delays or cost overruns. Construction delays may result in loss of revenues. Failure to complete construction according to specifications may result in liabilities, decrease power plant efficiency, increase operating costs and reduce earnings. Although the construction of each of our power plants was completed on or ahead of schedule and within its budget, no assurance can be given that construction of future projects will be completed on schedule or within budget.
 
                In addition, from time to time, we may acquire existing power plants from HIPDC, Huaneng Group or other parties. The timing and the likelihood of the consummation of any such acquisitions will depend, among other things, on our ability to obtain financing and relevant PRC Government approvals and to negotiate relevant agreements for terms acceptable to us.
 
Substantial capital is required for investing in or acquiring new power plants and failure to obtain capital on reasonable commercial terms will increase our finance cost and cause delay in our expansion plans
 
                An important component of our growth strategy is to develop new power plants and acquire operating power plants and related development rights from HIPDC, Huaneng Group or other companies on commercially reasonable terms. Our ability to arrange financing and the cost of such financing depend on numerous factors, including general economic and capital market conditions, credit availability from banks or other lenders, investor confidence in us and the continued success of our power plants. The PRC economy experienced high inflation in 2010 and 2011. Although we have not been materially affected by inflation in the past, there is no assurance that we would not be affected in the future. Since the beginning of 2011, the PRC Government continued to tighten its monetary policy, and the People’s Bank of China, or PBOC, has increased six times the reserve requirement ratio by 300 basis points for the PRC financial institutions from January 1, 2011 to November 30, 2011. In addition, to curb the accelerating inflation, the PBOC raised the benchmark one-year lending interest rates three times by 75 basis points from January 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012. Though the PBOC announced the decrease of the reserve requirement ratio for the PRC financial institutions by 100 basis points on December 5, 2011 and February 24, 2012, respectively, there is no assurance that the lending interest rate will not further increase in the future if the PRC government decides to further tighten its monetary policy. As a result, we may not be able to carry out our expansion plans due to the failure to obtain financing or the increase of financing costs. Furthermore, although we have historically been able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to us, there can be no assurance that financing for future power plant developments and acquisitions will be available on terms acceptable to us or, in the event of an equity offering, that such offering will not result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders.
 
Operation of power plants involves many risks and we may not have enough insurance to cover the economic losses if any of our power plants’ ordinary operation is interrupted
 
                The operation of power plants involves many risks and hazards, including breakdown, failure or substandard performance of equipment, improper installation or operation of equipment, labor disturbances, natural disasters, environmental hazards and industrial accidents. The occurrence of material operational problems, including but not limited to the above events, may adversely affect the profitability of a power plant.
 
                Our power plants in the PRC currently maintain insurance coverage that is typical in the electric power industry in the PRC and in amounts that we believe to be adequate. Such insurance, however, may not provide adequate coverage in certain circumstances. In particular, in accordance with industry practice in the PRC, our power plants in the PRC do not generally maintain business interruption insurance, or any of third party liability insurance other than that included in construction all risks insurance or erection all risks insurance to cover claims in respect of bodily injury or property or environment damage arising from accidents on our property or relating to our operation. Although each of our power plants has a good record of safe operation, there is no assurance that the afore-mentioned accidents will not occur in the future.
 
If the PRC government adopts new and stricter environmental laws and additional capital expenditure is required for complying with such laws, the operation of our power plants may be adversely affected and we may be required to make more investment in compliance with these environmental laws
 
                Most of our power plants, like all coal-fired power plants, discharge pollutants into the environment. We are subject to central and local government environmental protection laws and regulations, which currently impose base-level discharge fees for various polluting substances and graduated schedules of fees for the discharge of waste substances. The amount of discharge fees shall be determined by the local environmental protection authority based on the periodic inspection of the type and volume of pollution discharges. In addition, such environmental protection laws and regulations also set up the goal for the overall control on the discharge volume of key polluting substances. These laws and regulations impose fines for violations of laws, regulations or decrees and provide for the possible closure by the central government or local government of any power plant which fails to comply with orders requiring it to cease or cure certain activities causing environmental damage. In 2007, the PRC Government issued additional policies on discharge of polluting substances and on desulphurization for coal-fired generating units. Certain provinces have raised the rates of waste disposal fees since 2008. In 2011, the PRC Government promulgated new and more stringent standards on discharge of
 
 
 
5

 
 
 
polluting substances by thermal power plants, which also require thermal power plants to equip all units with denitrification facilities. Such stringent standards, together with the increase in the discharge fees, will result in the increases in the environmental protection expenditure and operating costs of power plants like ours and may have adverse impact on our operating results.
 
                We attach great importance to the environmental related matters of our existing power plants and our power plants under construction. We have implemented a system that is designed to control pollution caused by our power plants, including the establishment of an environmental protection office at each power plant, adoption of relevant control and evaluation procedures and the installation of certain pollution control equipment. We believe our environmental protection systems and facilities for the power plants are adequate for us to comply with applicable central government and local government environmental protection laws and regulations. However, the PRC Government may impose new, stricter laws and regulations on environmental protection, which may adversely affect our operations.
 
                The PRC is a party to the Framework Convention on Climate Change (“Climate Change Convention”), which is intended to limit or capture emissions of “greenhouse” gases, such as carbon dioxide. Ceilings on such emissions could limit the production of electricity from fossil fuels, particularly coal, or increase the costs of such production. At present, ceilings on the emissions of “greenhouse” gases have not been assigned to developing countries under the Climate Change Convention. Therefore, the Climate Change Convention would not have a major effect on the company in the short-term because the PRC as a developing country is not obligated to reduce its emissions of “greenhouse” gases at present, and the PRC government has not adopted relevant control standards and policies. If the PRC were to agree to such ceilings, or otherwise reduce its reliance on coal-fired power plants, our business prospects could be adversely affected.
 
Our business benefits from certain PRC government tax incentives. Expiration of, or changes to, the incentives could adversely affect our operating results
 
                Prior to January 1, 2008, according to the relevant income tax law, domestic enterprises were, in general, subject to statutory income tax of 33% (30% enterprise income tax and 3% local income tax). If these enterprises are located in certain specified locations or cities, or are specifically approved by State Administration of Taxation, a lower tax rate would be applied. Effective from January 1, 1999, in accordance with the practice notes on the PRC income tax laws applicable to foreign invested enterprises investing in energy and transportation infrastructure businesses, a reduced enterprise income tax rate of 15% (after the approval of State Administration of Taxation) was applicable across the country. We applied this rule to all of our wholly owned operating power plants after obtaining the approval of State Administration of Taxation. In addition, certain power plants were exempted from enterprise income tax for two years starting from the first profit-making year, after offsetting all tax losses carried forward from the previous years (at most of five years), followed by a 50% reduction of the applicable tax rate for the next three years. The statutory income tax was assessed individually based on each of their results of operations.
 
                On March 16, 2007, the Enterprise Income Tax Law of PRC, or the New Enterprise Income Tax Law, was enacted, and became effective on January 1, 2008. The New Enterprise Income Tax Law imposes a uniform income tax rate of 25% for domestic enterprises and foreign invested enterprises. Therefore, our power plants subject to a 33% income tax rate prior to January 1, 2008 are subject to a lower tax rate of 25% starting on January 1, 2008. With regard to our power plants entitled to a reduced enterprise income tax rate of 15% prior to January 1, 2008, their effective tax rate is being gradually increased to 25% within a five-year transition period commencing on January 1, 2008. Accordingly, the effective tax rate of our wholly-owned power plants will increase over time. In addition, although our power plants currently entitled to tax exemption and reduction under the income tax laws and regulations that are effective prior to the the New Enterprise Income Tax Law will continue to enjoy such preferential treatments until the expiration of the same, newly established power plants will not be able to benefit from such tax incentives, unless they can satisfy specific qualifications, if any, provided by then effective laws and regulations on preferential tax treatment.
 
                The increase of applicable income tax rate and elimination of the preferential tax treatment with regard to certain of our power plants may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, our historical operating results may not be indicative of our operating results for future periods as a result of the expiration of the tax benefits currently available to us.
 
                In addition, according to the New Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, any dividends derived from the distributable profits accumulated from January 1, 2008 and are paid to the shareholders who are non-resident enterprises in the PRC will be subject to the PRC withholding tax at the rate of 10%. The withholding tax will be exempted if such dividends are derived from the distributable profits accumulated before January 1, 2008. Under a notice issued by the State Administration of Taxation of the PRC on November 6, 2008, we are required to withhold PRC income tax at the rate of 10% on annual dividends paid for 2008 and later years payable to our H Share investors who are non-resident enterprises.
 
Fluctuations in exchange rates could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and your investment
 
 
 
6

 
 
 
As a power producer operating mainly in China, we collect most of our revenues in Renminbi and have to convert Renminbi into foreign currencies to (i) repay some of our borrowings which are denominated in foreign currencies, (ii) purchase foreign made equipment and parts for repairs and maintenance, and (iii) pay out dividend to our overseas shareholders.
 
                The value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. The conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, is based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China. Renminbi appreciated by more than 20% against the U.S. dollar between July 2005 and July 2008. Between July 2008 and June 2010, this appreciation halted and the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar remained within a narrow band. Since June 2010, Renminbi has appreciated slowly against the U.S. dollar again. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future. There remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to further liberalize its currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation in the value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar. However, there is no assurance that there will not be a devaluation of Renminbi in the future. If there is such devaluation, our debt servicing cost will increase and the return to our overseas investors may decrease.
 
Our revenues from SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries are collected in Singapore dollar. However, commencing from 2008, the operating results of SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries are consolidated into our financial statements, which use Renminbi as the functional currency and presentation currency. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations between Renminbi and Singapore dollar. Appreciation of Renminbi against Singapore dollar may cause a foreign exchange loss upon conversion of SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries’ operating results denominated in Singapore dollar into Renminbi, which may have adverse impact on our operation results.
 
Forward-looking information may prove inaccurate
 
                This document contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to us that are based on the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to our management. When used in this document, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “going forward” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statement. Such statements reflect the current views of our management with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including the risk factors described in this document. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements.
 
Risks relating to the PRC
 
China’s economic, political and social conditions as well as government policies could significantly affect our business
 
                As of December 31, 2011, the majority of our business, assets and operations are located in China. The economy of China differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including government involvement, level of development, economy growth rate, control of foreign exchange, and allocation of resources.
 
                The economy of China has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. The PRC government has implemented economic reform measures emphasizing utilization of market forces in the development of the economy of China and a high level of management autonomy. Some of these measures will benefit the overall economy of China, but may have a negative effect on us. For example, our operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected by changes in taxation, changes in power tariff for our power plants, changes in the usage and costs of State controlled transportation services, and changes in State policies affecting the power industry.
 
Interpretation of PRC laws and regulations involves significant uncertainties
 
                The PRC legal system is based on written statutes and their interpretation by the Supreme People’s Court.  Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited value as precedents.  Since 1979, the PRC government has been developing a comprehensive system of commercial laws, and considerable progress has been made in introducing laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade.  However, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published cases and judicial interpretation and their lack of force as precedents, interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve significant uncertainties.  In addition, as the PRC legal system develops, we cannot assure that changes in such laws and regulations, and their interpretation or their enforcement will not have a material adverse effect on our business operations.

                We are subject to certain PRC regulations governing PRC companies that are listed overseas.  These regulations contain certain provisions that are required to be included in the articles of association of these PRC companies and are intended to regulate the internal affairs of these companies. The PRC Company Law and these regulations, in general, and the provisions for protection of shareholders’ rights and access to information, in particular, are less developed than those applicable to companies incorporated in Hong Kong, the US, the UK and other developed countries or regions. Such limited investor protections are compensated for, to a certain extent, by the Mandatory Provisions for the Articles of Association of Companies to be Listed Overseas and certain additional requirements that are imposed by the Listing Rules of The Hong Kong Stock Exchange with a view to reduce the magnitude of differences between the Hong Kong Company Law and PRC Company Law.  The articles of association of all PRC companies listed in Hong Kong must incorporate such Mandatory Provisions and these additional requirements. Although our Articles of Association have incorporated such provisions and requirements, there can be no assurance that our shareholders will enjoy protections to which they may be entitled in other jurisdictions.
 
Risks relating to our operations in Singapore
 
                Our operations in Singapore are subject to a number of risks, including, among others, risks relating to electricity pricing, dispatching, fuel supply, project development, capital expenditure, environmental regulations, government policies, and Singapore’s economic, political and social conditions. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Fluctuation in market demand and intensified competition may adversely affect Tuas Power’s business and results of operations.
 
Our operations in Singapore depend on market demand and are subject to competition. While power demand recovered moderately in 2011 from 2010, this growth is expected to be moderate going forward and is highly dependent on sustained recovery in the Singapore’s and global economy. The liberalization of Singapore’s power market and the further deregulation of its power industry have resulted in more intense competition among the power generation companies in Singapore. Tuas Power group, or Tuas Power, one of our wholly-owned business units, is one of the three largest power generation companies in Singapore. If Tuas Power is unable to compete successfully against other power generation companies in Singapore, its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
 
Regulatory changes of the vesting regime in Singapore could expose Tuas Power to electricity price volatility and adversely affect its business and results of operations.
 
Tuas Power derives its revenue mainly from sale of electricity to the National Electricity Market of Singapore (the “NEMS”) through a bidding process and vesting contracts under which a significant portion of power sales is predetermined by EMA. Vesting contracts are a form of bilateral contract imposed/vested on the major power generation companies in Singapore. Vesting contract price is set by the Energy Market Authority (the “EMA”), which is Singapore’s power market regulator. The quantity of each power generation company’s capacity reserved for vesting contracts depends on the proportion of such power generation company’s capacity to total capacity in the NEMS system. The contract quantity and price are recalculated every three months.  For the period from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011, power sold through vesting contracts represented approximately 61% of Tuas Power’s total power sold. As an important governmental policy in Singapore’s power market, vesting contracts may continue as long as the EMA considers that high market concentration persists and that power generation companies may potentially exercise their market power. In December 2011, EMA released a consultation paper on a possible regulatory framework for the import of power into Singapore. Any regulatory change of the vesting regime or significant decrease in the quantity of capacity covered by Tuas Power’s vesting contracts will further expose Tuas Power to electricity price volatility and may have an adverse impact on its business and results of operations.
 
Volatility in fuel cost and disruption in fuel supply and its transportation may adversly affect the operation results of Tuas Power.
 
The fuel for Tuas Power consists of oil and gas. Since the procurement price of gas is closely linked to oil price, the fuel cost of Tuas Power is exposed to the volatility of international oil price. In addition, the commitments for the purchase of fuel are denominated in U.S. dollars, which further exposes Tuas Power to foreign currency risk. Any increase in fuel price due and appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Singapore dollar will translate into an increase in fuel cost for Tuas Power. Some of such increase can be pass through electricity sale contracts while fuel and foreign exchange hedging strategies done appropriately will mitigate the impact of such increase. No assurance can be given that such increase will not adversly affect results of its operation. Tuas Power is highly dependent upon the import of gas via pipelines from Indonesia. Any disruption of such supply would impact the normal operation of Tuas Power significantly. Although Tuas Power has further contracted to buy liquefied natural gas for its incremental needs in the future. There can be no assurance that, in the event of fuel supply shortfalls, Tuas Power’s operations will not be adversely affected.

                On April 19, 2006, we carried out the reform to convert all non-tradable domestic shares to tradable domestic shares. According to the reform plan, Huaneng Group and HIPDC offered three shares to each holder of A Shares for every ten shares held by them. The total number of shares offered in connection with the reform was 150,000,000 shares. As a result, all non-tradable domestic shares were permitted to be listed on stock exchange for trading with certain selling restrictions. The period of selling restrictions is sixty months for the non-tradable shares held by Huaneng Group and HIPDC, and one year for most non-tradable shares held by others starting from April 19, 2006. All such selling restrictions have been released by April 19, 2011. The reform did not affect the rights of shareholders of our overseas listed foreign shares.
 
In 2010, we increased our share capital through non-public issuances of new shares, including A shares and H shares. With the approval from shareholders and relevant PRC governmental authorities, we were authorized to issue (i) not exceeding 1,500 million new A shares by way of placement to not more than 10 designated investors including Huaneng Group, which would subscribe for no more than 500 million new A shares, and (ii) no more than 500 million new H Shares to China Hua Neng Hong Kong Company Limited (“Hua Neng HK”). On December 23, 2010, we completed the non-public issuance of 1,500 million new A shares (ordinary shares with a par value of RMB1 per share) to 10 designated investors, including Huaneng Group, at the issuance price of RMB5.57 per share. The shares subscribed by Huaneng Group are subject to a lock-up period of 36 months, and the shares subscribed by other designated investors are subject to a lock-up period of 12 months. On December 28, 2010, we completed the placement of 500 million H shares (ordinary shares with a par value of RMB1 per share) to Hua Neng HK at the subscription price of HK$4.73 per share. After these non-public issuances, we have a total share capital of approximately 14.06 billion shares.
 
On December 31, 2009, we entered into an equity transfer contract with Shandong Electric Power Corporation (“Shandong Power”) and Shandong Luneng Development Group Company Limited (“Luneng Development”) to acquire various interests and preliminary stage projects in nine entities. As of December 31, 2010, the operating results of four of the nine entities were consolidated into ours. As of December 31, 2011, we have completed the acquisition and the operating results of all the nine entities were consolidated into ours.
 
On January 4, 2011, we entered into an equity transfer agreement relating to the acquisition of Fushun Suzihe Hydropower Development Company Limited (“Fushun Suzihe Hydropower”) with its existing shareholders, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire the entire equity interest in Fushun Suzihe Hydropower with an aggregate consideration of RMB50 million. Fushun Suzihe Hydropower has a planned hydropower capacity of 37.5 MW (3 x 12.5 MW), which is under construction and is expected to commence operation by 2012.
 
On June 29, 2011, we entered into an equity transfer agreement relating to the transfer of Huaneng Jilin Biological Power Generation Limited Company (“Jilin Biological”) with Huaneng Jilin Power Generation Co., Ltd. and Huaneng Group, pursuant to which we agreed to transfer the entire equity interest in Jilin Biological with an aggregate consideration of approximately RMB106 million.
 
As resolved at the 2009 annual general meeting held on June 22, 2010, our company has been given a mandate to issue within the PRC short-term notes of a principal amount not exceeding RMB10 billion (in either one or multiple tranches) within 12 months from the date on which the shareholders’ approval was obtained. On January 13, 2011, we issued one tranche of short-term notes in the amount of RMB5 billion with a maturity period of 365 days, a unit face value of RMB100 and an interest rate of 3.95%.
 
On August 9, 2011, we entered into a capital increase agreement with Huaneng Finance, pursuant to which we subscribed for its own part of the newly increased registered capital of Huaneng Finance for a consideration of RMB600 million. The equity interest held by us in Huaneng Finance remains unchanged, representing 20% of the equity interests of Huaneng Finance.
 
As resolved at the 2010 annual general meeting held on May 17, 2011, our company has been given a mandate to issue within the PRC short-term notes of a principal amount not exceeding RMB10 billion (in either one or multiple tranches) within 12 months from the date on which the shareholders’ approval was obtained. On September 19, 2011, we issued one tranche of short-term notes in the amount of RMB5 billion with a maturity period of 366 days, a unit face value of RMB100 and an interest rate of 6.04%.
 
On October 25, 2011, we entered into a capital increase agreement with Huaneng Group, GreenGen Co., Ltd. (“GreenGen”) and Tianjin Jinneng Investment Company (“Tianjin Jinneng”), pursuant to which our

company would make a capital contribution of RMB264 million to the registered capital of Huaneng (Tianjin) Coal Gasification Power Generation Co., Ltd., which was jointly funded by GreenGen and Tianjin Jinneng immediately prior to the capital increase. We hold 35.97% of the equity interests in Coal Gasification Co after the completion of the capital increase.
 
As resolved at the 2010 annual general meeting held on May 17, 2011, our company has been given a mandate to apply to the competent authority for quota of the non-public issuance of debt financing instruments with a principal amount of not exceeding RMB10 billion within 12 months from the date of obtaining an approval at the general meeting (to be issued within such period on a rolling basis). On September 8, 2011, we received the approval from the competent authority. On November 7, 2011, we completed the issuance of the first tranche of non-public issuance of debt financing instruments in the amount of RMB5 billion with a maturity period of 5 years, a unit face value of RMB100 and an interest rate of 5.74%. On January 5, 2012, we completed the issuance of the second tranche of the non-public issuance of debt financing instruments in the amount of RMB5 billion with a maturity period of 3 years, a unit face value of RMB100 and an interest rate of 5.24%.
 
See “Item 5 Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Liquidity and Cash Resources” for a description of our principal capital expenditures since the beginning of the last three financial years.
 
B.           Business overview
 
                We are one of the China’s largest independent power producers. As of March 31, 2012, we had controlling generating capacity of 60,375.0 MW, and a total generating capacity of 55,350.0 MW on an equity basis.
 
Operations in China
 
                We are engaged in developing, constructing, operating and managing power plants throughout China. Our domestic power plants are located in 19 provinces, provincial-level municipalities and autonomous regions. We also have a wholly-owned power plant in Singapore.
 
In 2011, we had attained new progress on many aspects including power generation, energy saving and environmental protection, project development and overseas operation. In respect of domestic operations, despite the unfavourable conditions from sustained increases in fuel prices and Renminbi lending rates, our management and all employees seized opportunities, worked diligently to tackle the adversities, and fulfilled the duties of providing sufficient, reliable and green energy to the society. In respect of overseas operation, the operating results of Tuas Power in Singapore in 2011 improved significantly, thus making important contributions to our overall profit.
 
                In the year of 2011, new generating units with a total installed capacity of 4,761.5 MW were put into commercial operations. In 2011, our total domestic power generation from all operating power plants on a consolidated basis amounted to 313.554 billion kWh, representing a 22.03% increase from 2010.  The annual average utilization hours of our thermal generating units reached 5,552 hours, 258 hours above the average rate of the thermal generating units in China. Our fuel cost per unit of power sold by domestic power plants increased by 9.24% from the previous year to RMB270.37 per MWh.
 
                We believe our significant capability in the development and construction of power projects, as exemplified in the completion of our projects under construction ahead of schedule, and our experience gained in the successful acquisitions of power assets in recent years will enable us to take full advantage of the opportunities presented in China’s power market and made available to us through our relationship with HIPDC and Huaneng Group.
 
                With respect to the acquisition or development of any project, we will consider, among other factors, changes in power market conditions, and adhere to prudent commercial principles in the evaluation of the feasibility of the project.  In addition to business development strategies, we will continue to work on our profit enhancement through relentlessly strengthening cost control, especially in respect of fuel costs and construction costs, so as to hedge against fluctuations in fuel price and increase competitiveness in the power market.
 
Operations in Singapore
 
                Tuas Power group (“Tuas Power”), one of our wholly-owned business units, operates in Singapore and is engaged in the business of generation, wholesale and retail of power and other relating utilities. Tuas Power comprises of Tuas Power Ltd (“TPL”), the investment holding company, and seven subsidiaries. Among those subsidiaries, Tuas Power Generation Pte Ltd (“TPG”) is the electricity generation company that owns 100% of Tuas Power Supply Pte Ltd (“TPS”), which is the retail arm of TPG. We have consolidated Tuas Power’s results of operations since March 2008. The total assets and revenue of Singapore operations represented approximately 11.96% and 16.01%, respectively, of our total assets and revenue as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011.

With two 600 MW oil-fired generating units and four 367.5 MW gas-fired combined cycle generating units, TPG has a total generating capacity of 2,670 MW as of December 31, 2011. In 2011, the power generated by Tuas Power in Singapore accounted for 27.12% of the total power generated in Singapore, representing an increase of 1.91 percentage points from 2010.
 
Development of power plants
 
                The process of identifying potential sites for power plants, obtaining government approvals, completing construction and commencing commercial operations is usually lengthy. However, because of our significant experience in developing and constructing power plants, we have been able to identify promising power plant projects and to obtain all required PRC Government approvals in a timely manner.
 
Opportunity identification and feasibility study
 
                We initially identify an area in which additional electric power is needed by determining its existing installed capacity and projected demand for electric power. The initial assessment of a proposed power plant involves a preliminary feasibility study. The feasibility study examines the proposed power plant’s land use requirements, access to a power grid, fuel supply arrangements, availability of water, local requirements for permits and licenses and the ability of potential customers to afford the proposed power tariff. To determine projected demand, factors such as economic growth, population growth and industrial expansion are used.  To gauge the expected supply of electricity, the capacities of existing plants and plants under construction or development are studied.
 
Approval process
 
                Prior to July 2004, any project proposal and supporting documents for new power plants must first be submitted to the NDRC for approval and then be submitted to the State Council.  In July 2004, the State Council of the PRC reformed the fixed asset investment regulatory system in China. Under the new system, new projects in the electric power industry that do not use government funds will no longer be subject to the examination and approval procedure. Instead, they will only be subject to a confirmation and registration process. Coal-fired projects will be subject to confirmation by the NDRC. Wind power projects with installed capacity of 50 MW or obove shall be subject to confirmation and registration with the relevant department of the central government while wind power project with installed capacity lower than 50 MW shall be subject to confirmation and registration with relevant local government departments. Wind power projects confirmed by local government departments at provincial level shall also be filed with the NDRC and China National Energy Administration.
 
                Joint venture power projects are subject to additional governmental approvals. Approval by Ministry of Commerce is also required when foreign investment is involved.
 
                In January 2007, the Office of the National Energy Leading Group and the NDRC with the approval of the State Council jointly issued the opinions to accelerate shutdowns of small coal-fired generating units. Power generation companies are encouraged to close small coal-fired generating units and replace them with newly built large units, and their new projects may be granted priority in the confirmation and registration process on the basis of their proactive implementation of the opinions.
 
Permits and contracts
 
                In developing a new power plant, we and third parties are required to obtain permits before commencement of the project. Such permits include operating licenses and similar approvals related to plant site, land use, construction, and environment.  To encourage the cooperation and support of the local governments of the localities of the power plants, it has been and will be our policy to seek investment in such power plants by the relevant local governments.
 
Power plant construction
 
                We have generally acted as the general contractor for the construction of our power plants. Equipment procurement and installation, site preparation and civil works are subcontracted to domestic and foreign subcontractors through a competitive bidding process. All of our power plants were completed on or ahead of schedule, enabling certain units to enter service and begin generating income earlier than the estimated in-service date.
 
Import duties
 
                China’s general import-tariff level has been declining since China acceded to the WTO in November 2001. China’s average import-tariff rate was reduced annually from 15.3% in 2001 to 9.9% in 2005 and 2006.  Starting from January 1, 2007, the average import-tariff rate was further reduced to 9.8%. In general, China’s accession to WTO continues to bring its import-tariff to a level consistent with the average level of all other WTO members.
 
 
 
11

 
 
                Under the relevant PRC laws and regulations, foreign invested enterprises, or “FIE”, will be entitled to import duty exemption in respect of self-use imported equipment and raw materials for investment projects that fall into the encouraged category under the Catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Investment Industries (the “Catalogue”). Pursuant to the current Catalogue effective on January 30, 2012, construction and operation of power stations using integrated gasification combined cycle, circulating fluidized bed with a generating capacity of 300MW or above, pressurized fluided bed combustor with a generating capacity of 100MW or above and other clean combustion technologies belong to the category of encouraged projects. Therefore, our construction projects that meet the conditions for encouraged projects under the current catalogue are eligible for import-duty exemption for imported generating units.
 
                Pursuant to the Interim Rules to Promote Structural Adjustment of Industries issued in December 2005 and Guidance Catalogue for Structural Adjustment of Industries effective on June 1, 2011, our power plants construction projects with independent legal person status belong to an encouraged category of investments, and therefore are eligible for exemption from import duty and related value-added tax with regard to the imported equipments used in such projects, subject to the approval of the relevant government authorities.
 
Plant start-up and operation
 
                We have historically operated and intend to continue to operate our power plants. Our power plants have established management structures based on modern management techniques. We select the superintendent for a new power plant from the senior management of our operating plants early in the construction phase of the new plant, invest in the training of operational personnel, adopt various rational management techniques and structure its plant bonus program to reward efficient and cost-effective operation of the plant in order to ensure the safety, stability and high level of availability of each power plant. Our senior management meets several times a year with the superintendents of the power plants as a group, fostering a team approach to operations, and conducts annual plant performance reviews with the appropriate superintendent, during which opportunities to enhance the power plant’s performance and profitability are evaluated.
 
                After a coal-fired generating unit is constructed, the contractor tests its installation and systems.  Following such tests, the contractor puts the unit through a continuous 168-hour trial run at full load.  After successfully passing the continuous 168-hour test and obtaining approval from the local governments, the unit may commence its commercial operation. Trial run of a wind power project consists of two phases: (i) trial run of single wind power generating unit and (ii) trial run of the entire wind power project as a whole. After successfully passing the trial run, the wind power project may commence its commercial operation.
 
Development of Power Plants in Singapore
 
The Singapore electricity industry had traditionally been vertically integrated and owned by the government.  Since 1995, steps have been taken to liberalize the power industry, including corporatization of the Public Utilities Board (“PUB”) in 1995, establishment of Singapore Electricity Pool (“SEP”) in 1998, formation of Energy Market Authority (“EMA”) in 2001, and the evolvement of the SEP into the New Electricity Market of Singapore (“NEMS”) in 2003. The EMA is a statutory body responsible for the economic, technical and competition regulation of the gas and electricity industry in Singapore. In carrying out its functions as the regulator of the power sector, EMA is empowered under the Electricity Act to issue and enforce licences, codes of practices and performance standards. Energy Market Company Pte Ltd. (the “EMC”), a subsidiary of the EMA, is the market company licensed to operate the wholesale market, or the NEMS.
 
In Singapore, a company is required to hold a generation license issued by the EMA if it generates electricity by means of one or more generating units with capacity of 10 MW or above. If connected to the power grid, the generating unit(s) must be registered with the EMC and will have to compete with other power generation companies to secure dispatch in the NEMS.
 
To ensure adequate electricity supply in Singapore, the EMA targets a minimum reserve margin (the excess of generating capacity over peak electricity demand) of 30% based on a loss of load probability (a measure of the probability that a system demand will exceed capacity during a given period, often expressed as the estimated number of days over a year) of three days per year. The 30% required reserve margin is to cater for scheduled maintenance as well as forced outages of generating units in the system.  If the reserve margin falls below the required 30% due to demand growth and/or plant retirements, it would be an indication that new generation investments in generation units are needed to maintain system security.
 
The EMA intends to keep the increase and decrease in generating capacity to be commercially driven as far as practicable. As a precaution against the risk of insufficient generating capacity in the system to maintain system security, the EMA has planned to put in place a capacity assurance scheme to incentivize new generation planting in case new generating capacity that is required to maintain system security is not forthcoming from the market.
 
By most measures of market power, the Singapore market is highly concentrated as the three largest power generation companies account for approximately 80% of total power capacity.  Although such high
 
 
 
12

 
 
 
market concentration is expected to decrease over time, it is expected to remain as a concern for at least the next decade. Therefore, it is unlikely that the EMA will allow the three largest power generation companies to increase their licensed capacity and these generation companies will have to rely on the optimization of their existing capacity within license cap to improve efficiency and forestall new entry.
 
As of March 31, 2012, major players including Tuas Power, as well as new players, have announced repowering of existing plants and addition of new greenfield capacities.
 
Pricing policy
 
                Prior to April 2001, the on-grid tariffs for our planned output were designed to enable us to recover all operating and debt servicing costs and to earn a fixed rate of return. Since April 2001, however, the PRC government has started to gradually implement a new on-grid tariff-setting mechanism based on the operating terms of power plants as well as the average costs of comparable power plants.
 
                On July 3, 2003, the State Council approved the tariff reform plan and made it clear that the long-term objective of the reform is to establish a standardized and transparent tariff-setting mechanism.
 
                Pursuant to the NDRC circular issued in June 2004, on-grid tariffs for newly built power generating units commencing operation from June 2004 should be set on the basis of the average cost of comparable units adding tax and reasonable return in the regional grid. It provides challenges and incentives for power generation companies to control costs for building new generating units.
 
                On March 28, 2005, the NDRC issued the Interim Measures on Regulation of On-grid Tariff, the Interim Measures on Regulation of Transmission and Distribution Tariff, and the Interim Measures on Regulation of End-user Tariff, or collectively the Interim Measures, to provide guidance for the reform of tariff-setting mechanism in the transition period. Under the Interim Measures, tariff is classified into on-grid tariff, transmission and distribution tariff and end-user tariff. Transmission and distribution tariff will be instituted by the government. End-user tariff will be based on on-grid tariff and transmission and distribution tariff.  The government is responsible to regulate and supervise power tariffs in light of the principles of efficiency, incentives, and investment encouragement and taking into consideration of affordability.
 
                In December 2004, the NDRC proposed and the State Council approved to establish a linkage mechanism between coal and power prices, pursuant to which, the NDRC may adjust power tariffs if the change of the average coal price reaches 5% within a period of six months compared with the preceding same period. The change in a period, if less than 5%, will be carried forward to the future periods until the accumulated amounts reach 5%. With a target to encourage power generation companies to reduce cost and improve efficiency, only around 70% of coal price increases will be allowed to pass to end-users through an increase of power tariffs, and power generation companies will bear the remaining 30%. In May 2005, the NDRC activated the coal-electricity price linkage mechanism for the first time to increase on-grid tariffs and end-user tariffs in the northeastern region, central region, eastern region, northwestern region and southern region. We accordingly increased the on-grid tariffs of our power plants in the northeastern region, central region, eastern region and northwestern region on May 1, 2005 and in the southern region on July 15, 2005. In June 2006, the coal-electricity price linkage mechanism was reactivated by the NDRC to increase on-grid tariffs and end-user tariffs in the northeastern region, central region, eastern region, northwestern region and southern region. We accordingly increased the on-grid tariffs of most of our power plants in the same regions on June 30, 2006.
 
                In May 2007, NDRC and the State Environment Protection Administration jointly promulgated Interim Administrative Measures on Electricity Price of Coal-fired Generating Units installed with Desulphurization Facilities and the Operations of Such Facilities, which provided that a premium for desulphurization may be charged on the price of the electricity generated by generating units installed with desulphurization facilities on and from the date on which such desulphurization facilities are tested and accepted by relevant environment protection regulator.  Such pricing policy is also applicable to the old generating units which are installed with desulphurization facilities. The new measures are more stringent on the regulation of the coal-fired power plants with desulphurization facilities, setting forth the categories under which the price including a desulphurization premium will be offset or otherwise penalized based on the ratio of utilization of the relevant desulphurization facilities on annual basis. As of December 31, 2011, all of our existing coal-fired generating units have installed and operated the desulphurization facilities and enjoyed deslphurization premium.
 
                In June 2008, NDRC issued Notice of Raising the Power Tariff, pursuant to which, the power tariff in provincial grids nationwide was increased by an average of RMB0.025 per kWh. In August 2008, NDRC issued Notice of Raising the On-grid Tariffs of the Thermal Power Plants, pursuant to which, the on-grid tariff of thermal power plants, including plants fueled by coal, oil, gas and co-generation, was increased by an average of RMB0.02 per kWh.
 
                On February 25, 2009, NDRC, SERC and China National Energy Administration jointly promulgated the Notice regarding Cleaning up the Concessional Tariff Scheme, pursuant to which, (i) the concessional tariff scheme at local level is banned, and (ii) certain measures, such as direct purchase by large end-users and
 
 
 
13

 
 
 
adopting peak and off-peak power pricing policy, will be carried out to reduce enterprises’ power cost.  In addition, the notice emphasizes the supervision and inspection over the setting of power tariff. On October 11, 2009, in order to promote a fair market condition and the optimization of electric power resources, NDRC, SERC and China National Energy Administration jointly promulgated the Circular on Regulating the Administration of Electric Power Transaction Tariff to regulate the tariff setting mechanism for the on-grid tariff, transmission and distribution tariff and end-user tariff and clean up the local preferential power tariffs provided to high energy consumption companies. Pursuant to a notice issued by NDRC, with effect from November 20, 2009, certain adjustments on the on-grids tariffs have been made in various regions of China in order to resolve the inconsistencies in tariffs, rationalize the tariff structure and promote the development of renewable energy.
 
In 2010, the PRC government started to implement the direct power purchase policy. As of December 31, 2011, of the areas we operate power plants, Fujian, Liaoning and Jiangsu provinces are approved by the NDRC to implement the direct power purchase by large power end-users. In addition, during 2010 SERC issued several circulars and notices to regulate the transprovincial and interregional transaction of power and/or power generation right, in which the power purchase price shall be freely determined by negotiation through market pricing mechanism.
 
In May 2011, NDRC issued a notice, increasing the on-grid tariffs of thermal power plants to partially compensate the increased costs incurred by thermal power plants resulted from increases in thermal coal prices. Different adjustments on tariffs were made in different provinces. In November 2011, PRC Government made further nationwide adjustments on power tariffs, including an average of RMB0.026 per kWh increase in on-grid tariff for thermal power plants. In addition, to encourage denitrification efforts, NDRC provided a RMB0.008 per kWh denitrification premium in certain regions for those coal-fired generating units equipped with denitrification facilities.
 
In terms of power tariff for wind power projects, pursuant to the applicable policies and regulations, the PRC is categorized into four wind resource zones, and the onshore wind power projects approved after August 1, 2009 and in the same zone are subject to the same standard on-grid tariff applicable to that zone. In addition, the power grid companies are generally required to purchase all of the electricity generated by wind power generating units.
 
Pricing Policy in Singapore
 
All licensed power plants in Singapore sell their plant output into the NEMS under a half-hourly competitive bidding process, during which a clearing price is determined based on the projected system demand. All successful bids/power plants that are cleared in each half hour will be dispatched automatically by control signals from the Power System Operator, a division of the EMA, and in turn will receive the cleared price as determined earlier. The cleared price paid to the power plants is the nodal price at their point of injection, and the Market Clearing Engine, the computer software that creates dispatch schedules and determines market clearing prices, automatically produces a different price at each node on the network.
 
As there is no certainty in the price or the dispatch levels for any power plants, operators of power plants may enter into short or long-term financial arrangements with other counterparties or their own subsidiary company involved in the electricity retail market (to end consumers of electricity) to secure stability in their revenue stream and manage the commercial risks associated with operations in a competitive market.
 
In addition, the major power generation companies, including Tuas Power, are obliged to hold vesting contracts. Vesting contracts are a form of bilateral contract imposed/vested on the generation companies who had been licensed by the EMA before the start of the NEMS. Market Support Services Licensee is the counterparty to all of the vesting contracts, and the vesting contracts are settled between the parties through the EMC’s settlement system. The quantity of each power generation company’s capacity covered by vesting contracts depends on the proportion of its capacity to total capacity in the NEMS system. Vesting contract price is set by the EMA at the long run marginal cost and is adjusted by the EMA on a periodic basis for changes in the long run marginal cost and on a quarterly basis for inflation and changes in fuel prices. Such mechanism helps protect the profit margins of the power generation companies in the Singapore market to a large degree. The contract quantity and price are currently recalculated every three months.
 
The electricity that retailers on-sell to contestable consumers (currently defined as customers with average monthly usage of 10,000kWh and above) has to be purchased from the NEMS. The retailers pay for their electricity purchases at the Uniform Singapore Energy Price, which is a weighted average of nodal prices and is determined on a half-hourly basis in the NEMS.
 
Power sales
 
Each of our power plants has entered into a written agreement with the local grid companies for the sales of its power output. Generally, the agreement has a fixed term of one year and provides that the annual
 
 
 
14

 
 
 
utilization hours of the power plant will be determined with reference to the average annual utilization hours of the similar generating units connected to the same grid.
 
                In 2003, SERC and the State Administration of Commerce and Industry jointly promulgated a model contract form (the “Model Contract Form”) for use by power grid companies and power generation companies in connection with electricity sale and purchase transactions. The Model Contract Form contains provisions on the parties’ rights and obligations, amount of electricity subject to purchase, payment method and liabilities for breach of contract, etc. We believe that the publication of the Model Contract Form has facilitated the negotiation and execution of electricity purchase contracts between power grid companies and power generation companies in a fair, transparent and efficient manner. In 2011, all of the agreements entered into between our power plants and the local grid companies were based on the Model Contract Form.
 
                Power sales through competitive bidding are one of the targets of power market reform. The PRC government started in 1999 to experiment with a program to effect power sales through competitive bidding in some provinces, and has been gradually expanding the program with a view to creating a market-oriented electric power industry. Pursuant to the opinions regarding promotion of electric power system reform in the period of “The Eleventh  Five-Year Plan” adopted by the State Council in November 2006, the SERC will speed up the reform to establish an electric power market suitable to China’s circumstances. Furthermore, the PRC government started in 2009 to experiment with a program for direct power purchase by large power end-users, and has promulgated relevant rules governing the price and method of direct power purchase transaction as well as the market entrance and exit mechanism. In accordance with the above policies, we are conducting research on the program for direct power purchase by large power end-users. However, since the detailed implementation rules governing the program at local level are different among the regions in terms of market entrance condition, scope of experiment, and price and method of direct power purchase, these rules are subject to approvals by relevant central governmental authorities. As of December 31, 2011, of the areas we operate power plants, Fujian, Liaoning and Jiangsu provinces are approved by the NDRC to implement the direct power purchase by large power end-users.
 
                Establishing regional power markets and increasing the use of the bidding method are the general trend in China’s power market reform, which is conducive to creating a competition environment that is fair, transparent and equitable. Power sales through bidding process in small amounts have been experimented in the power market in the Northeastern region and Eastern region. However, during the three years ended December 31, 2011, the use of the bidding method in power sales had not been substantively implemented yet.
 
                In 2008, with the purpose of improving energy usage efficiency, the government implemented an electricity optimized-dispatch policy in Henan Province, Sichuan Province, Jiangsu Province, Guangdong Province and Guizhou Province on a pilot basis, as a result of which, the utilization hours of low energy consumption and low pollution generating units have been improved. We believe that our large generating units with high efficiency and low emission in Henan, Jiangsu and Guangdong provinces are competitive in the market.

Power sales in Singapore
 
According to the latest available update from EMA, the total licensed capacity in commercial operation in Singapore was 9,892MW. In 2011, the peak demand for electricity was 6,312MW and the annual average load was 5,035 MW. The power market in Singapore is competitive, and power generation companies sell their power output through bidding process and vesting contracts. For the year ended December 31, 2011, power sold through vesting contracts presented approximately 60% of the total power sold by the power generation companies.
 
               Tuas Power is required to sell a substantial portion of its electric power output to the NEMS through a competitive bidding process. The gas-fired combined cycle units of Tuas Power enjoy advantages in the competitive biddings of the pool market given their relatively low cost and high efficiency. Tuas Power in turn receives the price cleared in the market for its output. The uncertainty of the revenue associated the sale of electricity in the NEMS is effectively hedged via vesting contracts and direct retail sales which is carried out through a Tuas Power’s subsidiary. According to EMA, for each of the past five years ended December 31, 2011, the average annual pool price per MWh of the NEMS was S$124.57, S$162.53, S$109.90, S$170.66 and S$214.52, respectively. Tuas Power sells all its electricity output into the NEMS, but the actual settlement tariffs deviate from the pool prices due to the effect of vesting contracts and retail sales. For the period from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011, power sold through vesting contracts and retail sales represented approximately 88% of Tuas Power’s total power sold for the same period.

Fuel supply arrangements
 
In 2011, the majority of our power plants were fueled by coal, gas or oil.
 
Coal
 
Most of the coal supply for our coal-fired power plants is obtained from numerous coal producers in Shanxi Province, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Gansu Province.
 
In recent years, as part of its efforts to make a transition from a comprehensive planned economy to a “socialist market economy”, the PRC has experimented with a variety of methods of setting coal prices. In 1996, the government allowed coal prices to fluctuate within a range around a reference price for coal allocated under the State Plan to be used in electricity generation, and set maximum allowable prices in various coal-producing areas for coal used in electricity generation.
 
From 2002 to 2003, there was no longer official State Plan for coal supplies, but the government continued to coordinate the coal prices at the annual national coal purchase conferences attended by, among others, representatives of each of power companies, coal suppliers, and the railway authorities and sponsored and coordinated by NDRC. Power companies obtain allocations for coal on a plant-by-plant basis. Each of the power plants then signs supply contracts with the coal suppliers, and with the railway and shipping companies for the amount of coal and transportation allocated to them. From 2004 to 2008, although such annual coal purchase conferences continue to be held, only key contracts are negotiated and executed at such conferences. Starting from 2009, in furtherance of the coal purchase reform, NDRC ceased to coordinate annual coal purchase conference and took measures to reduce government’s involvement in the coal supply negotiation. NDRC will no longer make allocation of coal supply to power companies, but instead will consolidate and publish overall framework for the coal demand and supply. The price and amount of coal supply will be determined based on the free negotiation between power companies, coal suppliers, and the railway authorities.
 
In 2007, the power generation companies and coal suppliers were permitted to negotiate coal price and execute coal purchase contracts. The government will take temporary interventional measures to regulate coal price only in exceptional circumstances. In 2007, we purchased 76.72 million tons of coal and consumed 77.20 million tons of coal. Of the coal purchases in 2007, 63.3% was purchased under the key contracts and the remainder was purchased in the open market. The coal purchase price for our company, including transportation costs and miscellaneous expenses, averaged approximately RMB417.77 per ton. Our average unit fuel cost in 2007 increased by 10.04% from that in 2006.
 
In 2008, the average of coal price increased significantly, which adversely affected our results of operations.  In 2008, we purchased 88.2 million tons of coal and consumed 85.15 million tons of coal. Of the coal purchases in 2008, 55.4% was purchased under the key contracts and the remainder was purchased in the open market. The coal purchase price for our company, including transportation costs and miscellaneous expenses, averaged approximately RMB584.94 per ton. Our average unit fuel cost in 2008 increased by 46.54% from that in 2007. In 2008, we managed to secure the coal supply by enhancing the coordination between purchase and transportation to stabilize the main supply channel and exploring coal supply resources outside China.
 
In 2009, the average of coal price decreased significantly. In 2009, we purchased 85.92 million tons of coal and consumed 89.07 million tons of coal. Of the coal purchased in 2009, 56.7% was purchased under the key contracts and the remainder was purchased in the open market. The coal purchase price for our company, including transportation costs and miscellaneous expenses, averaged approximately RMB525.14 per ton. Our average unit fuel cost in 2009 decreased by 13.50% from that in 2008. In 2009, we managed to secure coal supply by expanding our coal import from coal supply resources outside China, which also attributed to a decrease in our average unit fuel cost in 2009.
 
In 2010, the average of coal price increased significantly. We purchased 114.82 million tons of coal and consumed 113.23 million tons of coal. Of our total coal purchases, 52.50% was purchased under the key contracts and the remainder was purchased in the open market. The coal purchase price for our company, including transportation costs and miscellaneous expenses, averaged approximately RMB605.04 per ton. Our average unit fuel cost in 2010 increased by 14.72% from that in 2009.
 
In 2011, the average of coal price increased significantly. We purchased 144.72 million tons of coal and consumed 144.07 million tons of coal. In 2011, we adjusted the threholds of key contracts in accordance with the NDRC’s catalogue and criteria. Of our total coal purchases, 26.13% was purchased under the key contracts and the remainder was purchased in the open market. The coal purchase price for our company, including transportation costs and miscellaneous expenses, averaged approximately RMB637.22 per ton. Our average unit fuel cost in 2011 increased by 9.24% from that in 2010.
 
In November 2011, the PRC Government issued certain policies to control coal price. The restrictive measures include, but not limited to, that (i) the increase in coal price under key contracts during 2012 shall not
 
 
 
18

 
 
 
exceed 5% of the contract price of prior year, and (ii) since January 1, 2012, the exit price of 5,500 kcal/kg thermal coal at main ports at Bohai Rim, such as Qinhuangdao Port, shall not exceed RMB800 per ton.
 
For coal supply in 2012, we have entered into key contracts with coal suppliers at the beginning of 2012; and we have also entered into coal import contracts to supplement the coal supply for our power plants located in coastal regions, which is expected to further stabilize our fuel cost. However, due to the uncertainties in the coal market and coal transportation capacity, new challenges may arise with respect to the price and supply of coal, thus creating pressure on our cost control.
 
Gas
 
Huaneng Shanghai Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Power Plant (“Shanghai CCGT”) is a gas-fired power plant. The gas supply for Shanghai CCGT is transported through the pipeline of “West-East Gas Transport Project”.
 
Huaneng Jinling Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Power Plant (“Jinling CCGT”) is a gas-fired power plant. The gas supply for Jinling CCGT is transported through the pipeline of “West-East Gas Transport Project”.
 
The gas co-generation expansion project of Beijing Co-generation Power Plant  (“Beijing CCGT”) is a gas-fired power plant. The gas supply for Beijing CCGT is transported through the Shanganning pipeline.
 
Tuas Power has four 367.5 MW gas-fired combined cycle generating units.  The gas supply for Tuas Power is provided by Gas Supply Pte Ltd and Sembcorp Pte Ltd in Singapore.
 
Oil
 
Tuas Power has two 600 MW oil-fired generating units.  The oil supply for Tuas Power is purchased from open market in Singapore.
 
Repairs and maintenance
 
Each of our power plants has a timetable for routine maintenance, regular inspections and repairs.  Such timetables and the procedures for the repairs and maintenance of generating units comply with the relevant regulations promulgated by the former Ministry of Electricity Power.
 
Pursuant to our procedures, generating units are currently operating on a cycle of four to six years.  In each cycle, there are four different levels of maintenance:
 
 
(i)
 
regular checks and routine maintenance are carried out throughout the period during which generating unit is in operation;
       
 
(ii)
 
a small-scale servicing is performed every year, which takes approximately 20 days;
       
 
(iii)
 
a medium-scale check-up is carried out between the two overhauls, the length of which depends on the actual condition of the generating unit at the time of the check-up and the inspections and improvements to be carried out; and
       
 
(iv)
 
a full-scale overhaul is conducted at the end of each operating cycle, which takes approximately 60 days.
 
 
C.           Organizational structure
 
We are 36.05% owned by HIPDC, which in turn is a subsidiary of Huaneng Group. Huaneng Group was established in 1988 with the approval of the State Council. Huaneng Group also holds a 15.87% equity interest in us either directly or through its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  In 2002, Huaneng Group was restructured as one of the five independent power generation group companies to take over the power generation assets originally belonging to the State Power Corporation of China.  Huaneng Group has a registered capital of RMB20 billion and is controlled and managed by the central government.  Huaneng Group is principally engaged in the development, investment, construction, management and operation of energy related projects as well as the production and sale of electricity.  In addition to this core business, Huaneng Group also engages in the development, investment, construction, production and sale of projects and products in the information, transportation, new energy source and environmental industries.
 
HIPDC was established in 1985 as a joint venture with 51.98% of its equity interests currently owned by Huaneng Group. HIPDC is engaged in developing, investing, operating and constructing power plants in China.  Some of the power plants currently owned and operated by us were originally built and later transferred to us by HIPDC.  Both Huaneng Group and HIPDC have agreed to give us preferential rights in the power development business and power assets transfers. See “Item 7.A. Major shareholders for details”
 
The following organizational chart sets forth the organizational structure of HIPDC and us as of March 31, 2012:

Competition and dispatch
 
 
36

 
 
 
                All power plants in China are subject to dispatch conducted by various dispatch centres. A dispatch centre is required to dispatch electricity pursuant to the Regulations on the Administration of Electric Power Dispatch Networks and Grids, issued by the State Council with effect from November 1, 1993, and in accordance with its agreements with power plants subject to its dispatch. Power generation companies are also required to enter into on-grid dispatch agreements with power grid companies. As a result, there is competition for favorable dispatch treatment in the PRC electric power industry, especially during the off-peak load periods.  More efficient power plants usually operate at higher output than less efficient power plants. We believe that in order to increase system stability, large and efficient power plants such as ours will be preferred as base load plants to generate power for the grids to which they connect. We believe that our dispatch arrangements with the local power corporations and dispatch centres, superior quality equipment, lower coal consumption rate, higher efficiency of plant operation, lower emission levels and larger capacity represent competitive advantages in the markets in which we operate.
 
                Since 2002, we have been facing competition from four other major power generation groups: China Power Investment Corporation, China Huadian Power Corporation, China Guodian Power Corporation and China Datang Power Corporation, which were created following the break-up of the former State Electric Corporation in 2002. Although we were not affected by this reform measure as we have developed good working relationship with the dispatch centres and the relevant government departments in the areas where our power plants are located, there can be no assurance that such good working relationship will not be adversely affected as more power generation companies compete for favorable dispatch treatment.
 
                As power generation companies were separated from power grid companies and more competitors entered into the market, the SERC issued the Interim Measures Regarding Promotion of Openness, Fairness and Equitableness of Power Dispatch, requiring power dispatch centers to treat all competitors indiscriminately in respect of dispatch administration and information disclosure except in cases where safe and stable operation of the electric power system requiring different treatment.
 
                In 2008, with the purpose of improving energy usage efficiency, the government implemented an electricity optimized-dispatch policy in Henan Province, Sichuan Province, Jiangsu Province, Guangdong Province and Guizhou Province on a pilot basis, and plans to roll out to others if the trial operation is successful. In addition, as of December 31, 2011, in all regions in which we operate power plants, the government’s power administrative departments take differential power generation plan policies to improve the planned utilization hours of the environment-protecting and energy-saving units.
 
Competition and Dispatch in Singapore
 
                The Singapore power market is highly concentrated, as the three largest power generation companies account for approximately 80% of total generating capacity. Tuas Power competes in the NEMS using its portfolio of gas fired and oil fired generating units. It was able to achieve a market share of approximately 27.12% in the NEMS for 2011. Its major competitors include Senoko Energy (formerly Senoko Power) which is owned by a Japanese/French consortium led by Marubeni Group, PowerSeraya which is owned by YTL Group of Malaysia, SembCorp Cogen and Keppel Merlimau Cogen. Tuas Power’s generating units are relatively new with a track record of steady operation and high reliability. The technical and economic parameters of Tuas Power’s units make Tuas Power one of the leaders in Singapore’s power industry.
 
                In the NEMS, power generation companies compete to generate and sell electricity every half-hour by offering their capacity (specifying price/quantity pairs). The EMC, the operator of Singapore’s wholesale electricity market, determines the least-cost dispatch quantities and the corresponding market-clearing or spot prices based on the offers made by power generation companies. The spot prices in the NEMS reflect the least-cost market solution for the dispatch of energy and provision of operating reserves. In general, this means that each power generation company that submitted an offer below the spot price will be dispatched, and a power generation company that submitted an offer above the spot price will not be dispatched. The spot price that power generation companys receive is a nodal price, which may vary according to their location on the network. Nodal prices would be higher in areas where higher transmission losses are incurred in getting the electricity to the load facilities.
 
Environmental regulation
 
                We are subject to the PRC Environmental Protection Law, the regulations of the State Council issued thereunder, the PRC Law on the Prevention and Treatment of Water Pollution, the PRC Law on the Prevention and Treatment of Air Pollution, the Emission Standard of Air Pollutants for Thermal Power Plants thereunder and the PRC Law on Ocean Environment Protection (collectively the “National Environmental Laws”) and the environmental rules promulgated by the Local Governments in whose jurisdictions our various power plants are located (the “Local Environmental Rules”). According to the National Environmental Laws, the State Environmental Protection Bureau sets national environmental protection standards and local environmental protection bureaus may set stricter local standards. Enterprises are required to comply with the stricter of the two standards.
 
 
 
37

 
 
 
                At present, new projects are subject to the environmental evaluation approval. The project proposal is required to be submitted to the State Environmental Protection Administration (“SEPA”) for approval.
 
                Effective July 1, 2003, all power plants in China became subject to the pollutant discharge levy system, pursuant to which discharge fees are levied based on the actual amount of pollutants discharged. As a result, all of our power plants are now required to pay discharge fees in such manner. Since 2008, certain provinces have raised the rates of waste disposal fees. In 2009, 2010 and 2011, we paid to the local governments total discharge fees of approximately RMB431 million, RMB492 million and RMB530 million, respectively.
 
                In 2011, the PRC government promulgated a New Emission Standards of Air Pollutants for Thermal Power Plants, which implement more stringent standards on discharge of polluting substances by thermal power plants.  These restrictive standards govern both the total sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions from the power plant and the emission density of each chimney, and also require thermal power plants to equip all units with denitrification facilities by the end of 2015.
 
                In order to meet with the requirement of the New Emission Standards, we have installed flue gas desulphurization (“FGD”) facilities and denitrification facilities with all of our newly constructed generating units.We have also carried out sulfur disposal reform on the existing generating units. As of the end of 2011, we have installed and operated desulphurization facilities on all our existing coal-fired generating units.
 
                In order to reduce fly ash, we use very high-efficiency electrostatic precipitators. Each power plant is also equipped with a waste water treatment facility to treat water used by the power plant before it is released into the river or the sea. We pay discharge fees on the basis of measurements made at discharge points of each plant where waste is released. All of the disposal equipment and facilities for sulfur dioxide, fly ash, waste water and noise in our existing power plants completely satisfy the existing national standard.
 
                We believe we have implemented systems that are adequate to control environmental pollution caused by our facilities. In addition to the measures identified above, each power plant has its own environment protection office and staff responsible for monitoring and operating the environmental protection equipment.  The environmental protection departments of the local governments monitor the level of emissions and base their fee assessments on the results of their tests.
 
                We believe our environmental protection systems and facilities for the power plants are adequate for us to comply with the currently effective national and local environmental protection regulations.  It is expected that the PRC Government will impose additional and stricter regulations to implement the emission plan which would require additional expenditure in compliance with environmental regulations.
 
Environmental Regulation in Singapore
 
                Tuas Power’s generation operations are mainly subjected to Singapore’s Environmental Protection and Management Act and Environmental Public Health Act. The former sets out requirements pertaining to control of pollution and management of hazardous substance while the latter focuses mainly on proper waste management.
 
                To address the environmental concerns and regulatory requirements, Tuas Power has in place an environmental management system.  All generating units are equipped with pollution control facilities. Stage I steam plants burns low sulfur content fuel oil and employs electro-precipitator to control sulfur dioxide and particulates emission respectively. Stage II combined-cycle plants burns natural gas and are fitted with low-nitrogen oxide burners to control nitrogen oxide emission. Source emission testing is performed annually and the results are submitted to the Pollution Control Department.
 
                Tuas Power has dedicated wastewater treatment plant to treat its oily wastewater and process wastewater prior to discharge into the sea. The treatment processes are automated to prevent accidental adverse discharge and critical parameters are monitored on a real-time basis. Trade effluent testing is performed annually and the results are shared with the Pollution Control Department.
 
                Land contamination is prevented through well-designed storage and containment procedures. Specific areas for storage of waste and hazardous substances are designated within the power plant.
 
                Waste generated in Tuas Power plants is identified and managed accordingly. Waste with residual value, such as waste oil, is resold to licensed collectors for reuse while other waste is disposed through licensed disposal contractors.
 
                Hazardous substances which have potential to cause environmental pollution are controlled within the power plant compound. Operators who handle these chemicals are competent and the storage concept of these substances is designed to prevent and mitigate the impact of any abnormal release. Regular audits are conducted to ensure these hazardous substances are managed properly and the findings and recommendations for improvements are reported to the Pollution Control Department.
 
Insurance
 
 
 
38

 
 
 
We currently maintain property all risks insurance and machinery breakdown insurance for all of our power plants, and construction all risks insurance or erection all risks insurance for all of our newly built and expansion projects as well as large-scaled upgrading projects. Our current insurance coverage on our property, plant and equipment (including construction all risk insurance) is mainly maintained with Yongcheng Property and Casualty Insurance Company, and co-insured by PICC Property and Casualty Company Ltd. and China Pacific Property Insurance Co., Ltd., which amounted approximately RMB278 billion. In July 2010, we renewed the liabilities insurance for our directors and officers with a coverage of US$10 million.
 
We do not maintain any third party liability insurance to cover claims in respect of bodily injury or property or environment damage arising from accidents on our property or relating to our operation other than the third party additional risk insurance included in construction all risk insurance or erection all risk insurance. We do not usually carry business interruption insurance either, which is not customarily carried by power companies in the PRC. We believe that our insurance coverage is adequate and is standard for the power industry in China.  Please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors – Risks relating to the Company and the PRC Power Industry – Operating power plants involves many risks and we may not have sufficient insurance coverage to cover the economic losses if any of our power plant’s ordinary operation is interrupted.”
 
Tuas Power purchases key insurance policies, such as industrial all risks issurance with an insured value of approximately S$4.087 billion, business interruption insurance, product and public liability insurance, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and environment liability insurance. For the Tembusu Multi-Utilities Complex project, the owner maintained erection/ construction all risks insurance with delay in start-up, third party liability insurance and marine cargo insurance with delay in start-up.

Critical accounting policies
 
The Company and its subsidiaries have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations.  The impact of and any associated risks related to these policies on the business operations are discussed throughout the Operating and Financial Review and Prospects where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.  For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 to the Financial Statements in Item 18 of this Annual Report on Form 20-F. Note that our preparation of this Annual Report on Form 20-F requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reported periods.  There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment
 
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided based on book value less estimated residual value over estimated useful life using straight-line method. For those impaired property, plant and equipment, depreciation is provided based on book value after deducting impairment provision over estimated useful life. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
 
     
2011
 
 
Dam
 
8 – 40 years
 
 
Port facilities
 
20-40 years
 
 
Buildings
 
6-45 years
 
 
Electric utility plant in service
 
5-35 years
 
 
Transportation facilities
 
6-20 years
 
 
Others
 
3-18 years
 
 
At the end of each year, the Company and its subsidiaries review the estimated useful life, residual value and the depreciation method of the property, plant and equipment for adjustment when necessary.
 
Management of the Company decides the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and respective depreciation. The accounting estimate is based on the expected wear and tear incurred during power generation. Wear and tear can be significantly different following renovation each time. When the useful lives differ from the original estimated useful lives, management will adjust the estimated useful lives accordingly. It is possible that the estimates made based on existing experience are different to the actual outcomes within the next financial period and could cause a material adjustment to the depreciation and carrying amount of property, plant and equipment.
 
Useful life of power generation licence
 
The Company and its subsidiaries acquired the power generation licence as part of the business combination with Tuas Power Ltd. (“Tuas Power”). The power generation licence is initially recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. It is of indefinite useful life and is not amortized. It is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment loss. Useful life of the power generation licence is reviewed by the Company and its subsidiaries each financial period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support the indefinite useful life assessment. As of year end, management of the Company and its subsidiaries considered the estimated useful life for its power generation licence as indefinite. This estimate is based on the expected renewal of power generation licence without significant restriction and cost, together with the consideration on related future cash flows generated and the expectation of management in continuous operations. Based on existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next financial period that are different from assumptions could require a change on carrying amount of power generation licence.
 
Impairment of long-lived assets
 
Goodwill and power generation licence is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less any accumulated impairment loss. Impairment loss on goodwill is not reversed. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (“CGUs”) according to synergy effect arising from the business combination. The Company and its subsidiaries allocate goodwill to those CGUs based on operating segments.
 
Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with definite useful lives and long-term equity investments not accounted for as financial assets are tested for impairment when there is any impairment indication on balance sheet date.  If impairment test result shows that the recoverable amount of asset is less than its book value, that difference is recognized as impairment provision. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less cost to sell of the asset and present value of its expected future cash flows. Asset impairment is calculated and recognized on individual asset basis. If it is difficult to estimate recoverable amount for the individual assets, the recoverable amount is determined based on the recoverable amount of the CGU to which asset belongs. CGU is the smallest group of assets that independently generates cash flows.
 
Key assumptions applied in the impairment tests include the expected tariff rates, demands of electricity in specific regions where these power plants are located, fuel cost and the expected throughput and price of related port. Management determined these key assumptions based on past performance and its expectations on market development. If different judgments were applied, estimates could differ significantly.  Actual results could vary materially from these estimates.
 
Newly adopted accounting policies
 
The following new standards and amendments to standards are adopted for the first time to the financial year beginning January 1, 2011.
 
IAS 24 (revised), ‘Related party disclosures’, issued in November 2009. It supersedes IAS 24, ‘Related party disclosures’, issued in 2003. IAS 24 (revised) is mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The revised standard clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party and removes the requirement for government-related enterprises to disclose details of all transactions with
 
 
 
40

 
 
 
 
the government and other government-related enterprises. The Company and its subsidiaries have early adopted the partial exemption of disclosure requirements for transactions with government-related enterprises on January 1, 2010 and apply the remaining requirements of this standard from January 1, 2011 onwards. The adoption of the remaining requirements results in additional disclosures on transactions and balances with associates / jointly controlled entities of Huaneng Group and its subsidiaries and the commitment with related parties. Please refer to Note 34 for the details of disclosures.
   
Amendments to IFRS 7, ‘Financial instruments: disclosures’. The amendments were as a result of the May 2010 Improvements to IFRSs (the “May 2010 Improvements”) (effective for financial year beginning January 1, 2011). The May 2010 Improvements clarified certain quantitative disclosures and removed the disclosure requirements on financial assets with renegotiated terms. The Company and its subsidiaries adopt the May 2010 Improvements on IFRS 7 on January 1, 2011. These amendments have no material impact on the financial statements.

Notes:
 
(1)
Zhanhua Co-generation has been consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company since December 2010. Its power generation in 2010 listed above is its power generation in December 2010.
   
(2)
Changxing Power Plant in Zhejiang Province has been closed.
   
(3)
Enshi Hydropower in Hubei Province has been consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company since December 30, 2011.
   
(4)
The power generation of Diandong Power Plant and Yuwang Power Plant for 2010 are for reference only and not accounted in the total power generation of the Company for 2010.
 
In 2011, the power generated by Singapore operations accounted for 27.12% of the total power generated in Singapore, increased by 1.91 percentage points from 2010.
 
In respect of the tariff, the average tariff of domestic power plants for the year ended December 31, 2011 was RMB430.10 per MWh, an increase of RMB8.44 per MWh from the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
In respect of fuel supply and cost controls, the increase of coal price and power generation contributed to an increase in fuel cost of the Company. Compared to the last year, the unit fuel cost of power sold of the Company’s domestic power plants increased by 9.24% to RMB270.37 per MWh.
 
Combining the foregoing factors, the operating revenue of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased by 27.90% from last year. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries recorded a net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company of RMB1.181 billion, decreased by 64.74% compared to the net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company of RMB3.348 billion for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
For the year ended 31 December 2011, the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company from domestic operations was RMB-0.101 billion, decreased by RMB2.758 billion compared to last year. The decrease was primarily due to the increase in fuel price in China and the increase of RMB borrowing interest rates. The increase of fuel price was mainly because of the increase of coal demand in the market and the increase of coal price. The increase of RMB borrowing interest rates was resultant from consecutive raise of benchmark lending interest rates by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) during 2010 and 2011.
 
For the year ended 31 December 2011, the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company from Singapore operations was RMB1.282 billion, increased by 85.45% compared to last year. This is mainly because the constrained supply of natural gas in Singapore contributed to higher demand for electricity and therefore temporary higher electricity price, result in higher profit derived compare to last year.
 
Operating revenue
 
Operating revenue mainly consists of revenue from power sold. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the consolidated operating revenue of the Company and its subsidiaries amounted to RMB133.421 billion, representing a 27.90% increase from RMB104.318 billion for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in operating revenue of domestic operations was primarily attributable to the increased power generations and expanded operations. The operation of new generating units contributed approximately RMB14.598 billion to the increase. The operating revenue of Singapore operations increased by approximately RMB6.195 billion for the year ended December 31, 2011 from last year, which is mainly because the temporary higher power tariff resulted from higher demand for power because of the constrained supply of natural gas.

C.           Financial position
 
General
 
The assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries experienced significant change during the year 2011, due to newly acquired power plants and continued investments in construction projects.
 
Assets
 
As of December 31, 2011, total assets of the Company and its subsidiaries were RMB257.416 billion, representing a 12.93% increase from RMB227.938 billion as of December 31, 2010. Non-current assets increased by 12.53% to RMB220.999 billion, primarily due to the continued investment in construction projects and acquisitions. Current assets increased by 15.40% to RMB36.417 billion, primarily due to the increase of accounts receivable and inventories caused by the operation of new generating units and acquisitions.
 
As of December 31, 2011, total assets of Singapore operations were RMB30.794 billion. Non-current assets increased by 6.61% to RMB24.257 billion, which was primarily attributable to investment in construction projects. Current assets increased by 24.63% to RMB6.537 billion, which was mainly due to the increase in cash and cash equivalents as a result of increase of profit.
 
Liabilities
 
As of December 31, 2011, total liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries were RMB197.858 billion, representing a 19.54% increase from RMB165.513 billion as of December 31, 2010, primarily attributable to the increased borrowings for construction projects. Non-current liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries mainly consisted of bank loans and bonds. The increase of current liabilities was largely attributable to increased short-term borrowings.
 
As of December 31, 2011, interest-bearing debts of the Company and its subsidiaries totaled approximately RMB167.077 billion. The interest-bearing debts consisted of long-term loans (including those maturing within a year), long-term bonds (including those maturing within 1 year), short-term borrowings and
 
 
 
51

 
 
 
short-term bonds. The interest-bearing debts denominated in foreign currencies were approximately RMB5.608 billion.
 
As of December 31, 2011, total liabilities of Singapore operations were RMB19.213 billion.

Current liabilities were RMB3.051 billion, increased by RMB1.406 billion from that as at the beginning of 2011, which was primarily attributable to increased accounts payable.
 
Shareholders’ equity
 
Excluding the impact of profit and profit appropriations, the equity of the Company and its subsidiaries decreased during the year, primarily attributable to the decrease of RMB234 million and RMB409 million resulting from the post-tax impact of decreased fair value of available for sale investmnets held by the Company and the post-tax impact of cash flow hedge of the Company’s domestic and Singapore operations, and the decrease of RMB664 million resulting from currency translation differences as well as the increase of RMB38 million in non-controlling interests, respectively.

Formula of the financial ratios:
 
Current ratio = balance of current assets as of year end / balance of current liabilities as of year end
 
Quick ratio = (balance of current assets as of year end - inventories as of the year end) / balance of current liabilities as of year end
 
Ratio of liabilities and shareholders’ equity = balance of liabilities as of year end / balance of shareholders’ equity (excluding non-controlling interests) as of year end
 
Multiples of interest earned = (profit before income tax expense + interest expense) / interest expenditure (inclusive of capitalized interest)
 
The current ratio and quick ratio remained at relatively low level as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and decreased slightly at the year end of 2011 from the year end of 2010. The increase in the ratio of liabilities and shareholders’ equity at the year end of 2011 from the year end of 2010 was primarily due to increase of borrowings for construction projects. The multiples of interest earned decreased, primarily attributable to the decrease of net profit for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
D.           Liquidity and cash resources
 
The primary sources of funding for the Company and its subsidiaries have been cash provided by internal funds from operating activities, short-term and long-term loans and proceeds from issuances of bonds, and the primary use of funds have been for working capital, capital expenditure and repayments of short-term and long-term borrowings.
 
As of December 31, 2011, net current liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries were approximately RMB60.180 billion. Based on the Company’s proven financing record, readily available banking facilities and sound credibility, the Company believes it is able to duly repay outstanding debts, obtain long-term financing and secure funding necessary for its operations. The Company has also capitalized on its good credit record to make short-term borrowings at relatively lower interest rates, thus reducing its interest expenses.

E.           Trend information
 
The major trend of the electricity power market
 
                According to the National Power Industry Statistics Express for 2011 issued by China Electricity Council, as of December 31, 2011, nationwide installed capacity reached 1.056 billion KW, representing a 9.2% year-on-year increase. For the year ended December 31, 2011, total power consumption throughout PRC reached 4.69 trillion KWh, representing a 11.7% year-on-year increase.
 
                In 2012, China’s economy is expected to maintain steady growth to meet the 7.5% GDP growth target set forth at the central economic work conference and the government work report, which suggests slightly decreased growth of China’s economy and power consumption. According to the forecast of China Electricity Council, China’s power consumption is expected to increase by 8.8% to more than 5,000 billion KWh in 2012, with higher consumption during the second half of 2012. In respect of power supply, the newly installed generation capacity is expected to reach 85 million KW, including 20 million KW from hydropower and 50 million KW from coal-fired power. Total power generation capacity will reach 1.14 billion KW by the end of 2012, with 4,750 hours of power equipment utilization and 5,300 to 5,400 hours of coal-fired generation equipment utilization throughout the year.
 
                According to information available, China may experience shortage of water supply before the flooding season, and regionally and periodically coal supply deficiency in 2012. It is therefore estimated that regional, periodical and seasonal shortage of power supply will occur during 2012, with shortage might be as much as 30 million KW.
 
                After the increase in power tariff in 2011, all power producers have been considering increasing power generation as an effective measure to promote profitability, which is expected to contribute to more intensified competition in the power market.
 
The trend of the fuel supply
 
                In 2011, China produced raw coal of 3.52 billion tons, representing an increase of 8.7% over 2010. According to the forecast of China Electricity Council, coal demand is expected to have an average annual growth rate of 5.2% during the “12th Five-Year” period. In November 2011, the PRC Government issued certain policies to control coal price. The restrictive measures include, but not limited to, that (i) the increase in coal price under key contracts during 2012 shall not exceed 5% of the contract price of prior year, and (ii) since January 1, 2012, the exit price of 5,500 kcal/kg thermal coal at main ports at Bohai Rim, such as Qinhuangdao Port, shall not exceed RMB800 per ton. In 2012, the demand and supply of coal are expected to be generally balanced and stable, providing no driving force for price increase. In the coastal regions of eastern China, good transportation conditions ensure readily suffcient coal supply from domestic and overseas suppliers, which could lead to slight decrease of coal price. In central China, limited railway transportation capacity complicated the diffculty of coal supply and resulted in higher coal price. In western China where coal mines are mainly located, the merger of small-scale coal mines and concentration of coal resources might lead to increase of the historically low price of coal.
 
The trend of capital market and foreign exchange
 
                In 2012, PBOC will continually implement steady monetary policies and make slight adjustments to monetary policies from time to time. In respect of the credit market, liquidity is still tight with higher financing costs. In respect of monetary policies, PBOC recently lowered RMB deposit reserve requirement ratio by 0.5
 
 
 
57

 
 
 
percentage point. This slight adjustment is helpful to ease liquidity and maintain consistent growth of economy. The consumer price index in China is expected to follow a downward trend since 2012, which, together with reverse of negative interest rate situation, will provide more flexibility for the PBOC in executing monetary policies.
 
F.           Employee benefits
 
As of December 31, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries had 35,903 domestic and overseas employees. The Company and its subsidiaries provided employees with competitive remuneration and linked such remuneration to operating results as working incentives for the employees.

The numbers shown in the table above were calculated based on the minimum purchases stipulated in the long-term gas contracts disclosed in Note 37 to financial statements. As the Company and its subsidiaries are not required to commit purchases of one of the contracts until 2014, no unit cost information available for daily purchase quantities of 72.4 BBtu and 72.4 BBtu and 49.9 BBtu during respective period categories of 2014; 2015 – 2023; and 2024 – 2028.
 
                The Company and its subsidiaries have various defined contribution plans in accordance with the local conditions and practices in the provinces in which they operate. The Company and its subsidiaries pay fixed contributions into separate entities (funds) and will have no further payments obligations if the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Disclosures of the pension plans including the contribution amounts are included in Note 35 to the Financial Statements.
 
K.           Sensitivity analysis to impairment test
 
Goodwill impairment
 
Separately recognized goodwill is tested for impairment by the management at the end of each year. In 2011, based on the impairment tests, except for the goodwill arising from acquisition of Zhanhua Co-generation, no goodwill was impaired. Due to the continuous lower profitability of Zhanhua Co-generation, full impairment of related goodwill amounted to RMB292 million was provided based on the result of impairment test.
 
As of December 31, 2011, goodwill of the Company and its subsidiaries totaled RMB13.89 billion. For goodwill allocated to CGUs in PRC, changes of tariff and fuel price could have affected the results of goodwill impairment assessment. As of December 31, 2011, if tariff had decreased by 1% or 5% from management’s estimates with other variables constant with the expectations, the Company and its subsidiaries would have to further recognize impairment against goodwill by approximately RMB550 million and RMB1,452 million, respectively. If fuel price had increased by 1% or 5% from the management’s estimates with other variables constant with the expectations, the Company and its subsidiaries would have to further recognize impairment against goodwill by approximately RMB406 million and RMB1,452 million, respectively.
 
Property, plant and equipment impairment
 
The Company and its subsidiaries test whether property, plant and equipment suffered any impairment whenever any impairment indication exists. In late 2011, upon the initiation of a preliminary disposal plan, the Company and its subsidiaries performed impairment re-assessment and made provision for impairment on property, plant and equipment of Huaneng Huaiyin Power Generation Co. Ltd. (“Huaiyin Power Company”) amounting to RMB 50.96 million. The recoverable amounts are determined based on fair value less cost to sell.  The fair value is determined by reference to the market price. The Company and its subsidiaries also recorded impairment loss of property, plant and equipment of Fujian Xinhuanyuan Industrial Limited Company (“Xinhuanyuan”) amounted to RMB 20.31 million upon its operation restructuring. Recoverable amount was determined based on value in use of the related CGU assessed by an independent valuer. A discount rate of 7.78% was adopted in the model. Xinhuanyuan was principally engaged in production and sales of mineral water and was included in “all other segments”.
 
Changes of assumptions in tariff and fuel price will affect the impairment assessments result of property, plant and equipment. As of December 31, 2011, if tariff had decreased by 1% or 5% from management’s estimates with other variables constant with the expectations, the Company and its subsidiaries would have to further recognize impairment against property, plant and equipment by approximately RMB355 million and RMB5,994 million, respectively. If fuel price had increased by 1% or 5% from the management’s estimates with other variables constant with the expectations, the Company and its subsidiaries would have to further recognize impairment against property, plant and equipment by approximately RMB139 million and RMB3,145 million, respectively.

The total remuneration paid to our directors, supervisors and executive officers is comprised of basic salaries, performance salaries and pension. Of these, performance salaries account for approximately 60% of the total remuneration, which are determined on the basis of their performance. In addition, directors and supervisors who are also officers or employees of us receive certain other benefits, such as subsidized or free health care services, housing and transportation, which are customarily provided by large enterprises in the PRC to their employees.  Each of the Company’s independent directors receives annual after-tax cash compensation of RMB60,000. We do not have any service contract with any director that provides for benefits upon termination of employment.

The main duties of the Audit Committee are to assist our board in performing its statutory and fiduciary duties of supervising our accounting, financial reports, internal controls and compliance, including but not limited to, assisting our board in supervising (i) the integrity of our financial statements; (ii) our compliance with the applicable laws and regulations; (iii) the qualification and independence of our independent auditors; (iv) the performances of our independent auditors and internal auditing department and (v) the compliance of connected transactions to be implemented by the Company.

D.           Employees
 
As of December 31, 2011, we employed 35,903 people. Of these, 288 are headquarters management staff, 6,031 are power plant personnel directly involved in the management and operation of the power plants and the remainder are maintenance personnel, ancillary service workers and others. Over 63% our work force graduated from university or technical college. As of December 31, 2009 and 2010, we had approximately 33,587 and 33,811 employees respectively.
 
We conduct continuing education programs for our employees at the head office and at each power plant. We provide training in foreign language, computer, accounting and other areas to our professionals and technicians in their relevant fields.  Employees are trained in accordance with the different requirements for professional and managerial positions.
 
We have reformed the labor system by introducing individual labor contracts.  Currently, all employees are employed under employment contracts, which specify the employee’s position, responsibilities, remuneration and grounds for termination. Short-term employment contracts have fixed terms of typically one
 
 
 
66

 
 
 
to five years, at the end of which they may be renewed with the agreement of both the Company and the employees.
 
               The contract system imposes discipline, provides incentives to adopt better work methods and provides us with a greater degree of management control over our work force.  We believe that, by linking remuneration to productivity, the contract system has also improved employee morale.
 
               Each of our power plants also has a trade union and the employees of our headquarters are also members of a trade union.  These trade unions protect employee’s rights, aim to fulfill our economic objectives, encourage employees to participate in management decisions and mediate disputes between us and union members.  We have not been subject to any strikes or other labor disturbances interfering with our operations, and we believe that our relations with our employees are good.
 
               Total remuneration of our employees includes salaries, bonuses and allowances.  The employees also receive certain benefits in the form of education and health services subsidized by the Company and other miscellaneous subsidies.
 
               In compliance with the relevant regulations, we and our employees participate in the local government pension plan under which all the employees are entitled to the pensions payments upon retirement.  See Note 35 to the Financial Statements.
 
               The Company also participates in the social insurance program administered by the social security institution, under which all the employees are entitled to certain social insurance benefits, subject to adjustments in accordance with relevant PRC regulations. The Company is in compliance with all social insurance regulations and has no outstanding overdue for any social insurance contribution.
 
E.            Share ownership
 
               None of our directors, supervisors or senior management owns any of our shares.

(2)
The 520,000,000 shares are H shares and represented 14.63% of the total issued H shares of the Company and 3.70% of the total issued share capital of the Company.
 
In 2006, all of our shareholders of non-tradable domestic shares except HIPDC transferred a total of approximately 1.1 billion shares to Huaneng Group, representing 9.24% of our total issued shares. Among others, HPCIC transferred approximately 301 million shares to Huaneng Group, and decreased its shareholdings in us to 5.00%.
 
On April 19, 2006, we carried out our reform plan to convert all non-tradable domestic shares into tradable domestic shares. According to the plan, Huaneng Group and HIPDC transferred a total of 150 million shares to our shareholders of A Shares. As a result, the direct shareholdings of Huaneng Group and HIPDC decreased to 8.75% and 42.03%, respectively.

In June and July of 2008, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, China Hua Neng Hong Kong Company Limited, Huaneng Group acquired 20 million H shares from open market.  As a result, the shareholding of Huaneng Group increased to 8.92%.
 
In 2010, we increased our share capital through non-public issuances of new shares, including A shares and H shares. With the approval from shareholders and relevant PRC governmental authorities, we were authorized to issue (i) not exceeding 1,500 million new A shares by way of placement to not more than 10 designated investors including Huaneng Group, which would subscribe for no more than 500 million new A shares, and (ii) no more than 500 million new H Shares to China Hua Neng Hong Kong Company Limited (“Hua Neng HK”). On December 23, 2010, we completed the non-public issuance of 1,500 million new A shares (ordinary shares with a par value of RMB1 per share) to 10 designated investors, including Huaneng Group, at the issuance price of RMB5.57 per share. The other nine investors are CCB International Asset Management (Tianjin) Company Limited, China Life Insurance Asset Management Company Limited, New China Life Assurance Company Limited, Harbin Power Equipment Company Limited, China Three Gorges Corporation, Liaoning Energy Investment (Group) Limited Liability Company, Dongfang Electric Co., Ltd., Dacheng Fund Management Co., Ltd. and China National Offshore Oil Corporation. The shares subscribed by Huaneng Group are subject to a lock-up period of 36 months, and the shares subscribed by other designated investors are subject to a lock-up period of 12 months. On December 28, 2010, we completed the placement of 500 million H shares (ordinary shares with a par value of RMB1 per share) to Hua Neng HK at the subscription price of HK$4.73 per share.
 
On December 31, 2010, Huaneng Capital Services Company Limited (“Huaneng Capital”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Huaneng Group, acquired 12,876,654 A shares of our company through the trading system at the Shanghai Stock Exchange, representing 0.09% of the total issued share capital of our company. Prior to the acquisition, Huaneng Group directly and indirectly controls 7,141,786,667 shares in our company, representing approximately 50.81% of the total issued share capital of our company. After the acquisition, Huaneng Group directly and indirectly controls 7,154,663,321 share of our company, representing approximately 50.90% of the total issued share capital of our company. Huaneng Group proposes to continue the acquisition of the A shares of our company in the secondary market through Huaneng Capital or other concerted party(ies) or in its own name within the 12-month period starting from December 31, 2010. The aggregate of such acquisition will not exceed 2% (inclusive of the shares acquired this time) of the issued share capital of our company.
 
On December 23, 2011, Huaneng Group acquired 143,620,000 A Shares of our company through China Huaneng Finance Corporation Limited, a controlling subsidiary of Huaneng Group, via the block trading system at the Shanghai Stock Exchange. After the acquisition, Huaneng Group directly and indirectly controls 7,298,283,321 shares of our company, representing approximately 51.93% of the total issue share capital of our company.
 
                Before we were established in 1994, HIPDC and other seven promoters entered into the Shareholders’ Agreement dated May 31, 1994 (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”) which, among other things, grants to HIPDC the right to vote all the shares owned by each of the other promoters so as to enable HIPDC to have majority voting rights in general meetings for so long as we are in existence.  In addition, directors designated by HIPDC will have majority representation on our board of directors and each of the other promoters will have one representative designated by it appointed as a member of our board of directors. The Shareholders’ Agreement also provides that for so long as we are in existence (i) HIPDC and the other signatories to the Shareholders’ Agreement will maintain their combined shareholdings to ensure their collective majority control of us, (ii) HIPDC has certain priority rights to purchase the shares held by the other signatories to the Shareholders’ Agreement and (iii) if HIPDC does not exercise its priority rights to purchase such shares, each of the signatories to the Shareholders’ Agreement other than HIPDC has a priority right to purchase such shares on a pro rata basis and (iv) no shares may be sold or transferred unless their transferees agree to abide by the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement. As a result of the Shareholders’ Agreement, HIPDC held 70.09% of the total voting rights of the outstanding shares and, subject to the Shareholders’ Agreement, had the power to control the election of all of our directors and to direct our management and policies.
 
                On May 12, 2006, HIPDC and other promoters (including the shareholders who assumed the rights and obligations of original promoters as a result of  share transfer) entered into an amendment to the Shareholders’ Agreement, pursuant to which, each promoter  shall be entitled to exercise its own voting rights at the shareholders’ general meeting. Consequently, HIPDC currently holds 36.05% of our total voting rights. Since HIPDC’s parent company, Huaneng Group, currently holds, directly or through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, 15.87% of our total voting rights. HIPDC is able to exert control over us when acting in concert with Huaneng Group.
 
                Huaneng Group and HIPDC had previously given a non-compete undertaking to us during our initial public offering of A shares in 2001, in order to support our business development, to integrate relevant quality assets and to avoid business competition. In September 2010, we received from Huaneng Group an undertaking
 
 
 
68

 
 
on relevant matters for further avoidance of business competition. While Huaneng Group will continue to perform its undertakings previously given, Huaneng Group further undertakes that: (i) it shall treat us as the only platform for ultimate integration of the conventional energy business of Huaneng Group; (ii) with respect to the conventional energy business assets of Huaneng Group located in Shandong Province, Huaneng Group undertakes that it will take approximately 5 years to improve the profitability of such assets and when the terms become appropriate, it will inject those assets into us. We have a right of first refusal to acquire from Huaneng Group the newly developed, acquired or invested projects which are engaged in the conventional energy business of Huaneng Group located in Shandong Province; (iii) with respect to the other non-listed conventional energy business assets of Huaneng Group located in other provincial administrative regions, Huaneng Group undertakes that it will take approximately 5 years, and upon such assets meeting the conditions for listing, it will inject such assets into us in order to support our sustainable and stable development; and (iv) Huaneng Group will continue to perform each of its undertakings to support the development of its subordinated listed companies.

Dividend distribution policy
 
Our Board of Directors will determine the payment of dividends, if any, with respect to our shares on a per share basis.  Any final dividend for a financial year shall be subject to shareholders’ approval.  The Board may declare interim and special dividends at any time under general authorization by a shareholders’ ordinary resolution. A decision to declare or to pay any dividends in the future, and the amount of any dividends, will depend on our results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, future prospects and other factors which our Directors may determine as important.
 
For holders of our H shares, cash dividend payments, if any, shall be declared by our Board of Directors in Renminbi and paid in HK Dollars.  The depositary will convert the HK Dollar dividend payments and distribute them to holders of ADSs in U.S. Dollars, less expenses of conversion.
 
Dividends may be paid only out of our distributable profits (less allocation to the statutory funds of 10% of our net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP) and may be subject to any applicable PRC withholding tax.  Our Articles of Association limit our distributable profits to the lower of the amount determined in accordance with PRC GAAP and IFRS.  Subject to the above, we expect to carry a positive, balanced and stable dividend distribution policy.
 
Our board has proposed a cash dividend of RMB0.05 per ordinary share (tax inclusive) for the year ended December 31, 2011, which is equivalent to RMB2 per ADS. The total dividend to be paid amounted to approximately RMB703 million.

Directors
 
Our directors shall be elected at our shareholders’ general meeting. Because the shares do not have cumulative voting rights, a holder of a majority of the shares is able to elect all of the directors.  Our directors shall be elected for a term of three years and may serve consecutive terms upon re-election, except that independent directors may only serve a maximum of two consecutive terms of six years.  Our directors are not required to hold any shares in us, and there is no age limit requirement for the retirement or non-retirement of our directors.
 
Where a director is materially interested, directly or indirectly, in a contract, transaction or arrangement (including any proposed contract, transaction or arrangement) with us, he or she shall declare the nature and extent of his or her interests to the board of directors at the earliest opportunity, whether or not such contract, transaction or arrangement is otherwise subject to the approval of the board.  A director shall not vote, and shall not be counted in the quorum of the meeting, on any resolution concerning any contract, transaction or arrangement where the director owns material rights or interests therein.  A director is deemed to be interested in a contract, transaction or arrangement in which his associate (as defined by Article 133 of the Articles of Association) is interested.
 
Unless the interested director discloses his interests to the board and the contract, transaction or arrangement in which the director is materially interested is approved by the board at a meeting in which the director neither votes nor is counted in the quorum, such contract, transaction or arrangement may be revoked by us except with respect to a bona fide party thereto who does not have notice of the director’s interests.
 
We are prohibited from making loans or providing guarantees to our directors and their associates except where such loan or guarantee is made or provided under a service contract as approved by our shareholders at the shareholders’ general meeting and to meet expenditure requirement incurred or to be incurred by the director for the purposes of the Company or for the purpose of enabling the director to perform his or her duties properly.
 
Matters relating to the remuneration of our directors shall be determined by the shareholders’ general meeting.
 
Dividends
 
Distribution of dividends may be proposed by our board of directors for approval by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders at the shareholders’ general meeting. The Articles of Association allows for cash or stock dividends.
 
Dividends may only be distributed after allowance has been made for:
 
 
·
recovery of losses, if any;
 
 
·
allocations to the statutory surplus reserve fund; and
 
 
·
allocations to a discretionary surplus reserve fund.
 
The allocation to the statutory surplus reserve fund is 10% of our net income determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules. Where the accumulated statutory surplus reserve fund has reached 50% or more of our registered capital, no allocation is needed.
 
The Articles of Association require that cash dividends and other distribution with respect of H Shares be declared in Renminbi and paid by the Company in U.S. dollars or Hong Kong dollar in terms of the H Shares listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Articles of Association further stipulate that for dividends and other distributions paid in currencies other than Renminbi, we shall use an exchange rate equal to the median closing exchange rate of Renminbi for such currencies announced by PBOC for two working days in the week preceding the date on which such dividends or other distributions are declared.
 
We will appoint receiving agents to receive, on behalf of the holders of H Shares, any dividend distributions and all other money owing by us in respect of such shares (Receiving Agents). The Receiving Agents will comply with the laws and regulations of the applicable stock exchanges on which our shares are
 

 
76

 

 
listed. Any Receiving Agent appointed on behalf of the holders of H Shares listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will be a company registered as a trust corporation under the Trustee Ordinance of Hong Kong.
 
Dividends payments may be subject to PRC withholding tax.
 
Voting Rights and Shareholders’ Meetings
 
Our board of directors shall convene a shareholders’ annual general meeting once every year and within six months from the end of the preceding financial year. Our board shall convene an extraordinary general meeting within two months after the occurrence of any one of the following events:
 
 
·
where the number of directors is less than the number required by the PRC Company Law or two-thirds of the number specified in our Articles of Association;
 
 
·
where our unrecovered losses reach one-third of the total amount of our share capital;
 
 
·
where shareholder(s) holding 10% or more of our issued shares so request(s);
 
 
·
whenever our board deems necessary or our supervisory committee so requests; or
 
 
·
other circumstances as provided in the Articles of Association.
 
Resolutions proposed by shareholder(s) holding 3% or more of the total number of voting shares shall be included in the agenda for the relevant annual general meeting if (i) they are submitted to the board of directors no later than 10 days before the annual general meeting is to be held and (ii) they are matters which fall within the scope of the functions and powers of shareholders’ general meeting and have clear subject and concrete terms to be voted upon. The board of directors shall publish a supplementary notice of annual general meeting specifying the resolutions proposed to other shareholders. Upon publication of the supplementary notice, no alteration to the proposed resolutions or addition of other proposed resolutions will be accepted.
 
All shareholders’ meetings must be convened by our board by written notice given to shareholders not less than 45 days before the meeting. Based on the written replies received by us 20 days before a shareholders’ meeting, we shall calculate the number of voting shares represented by shareholders who have indicated that they intend to attend the meeting. Where the number of voting shares represented by those shareholders amount to more than one-half of our total voting shares, we shall convene the shareholders’ general meeting. Otherwise, we shall, within five days before holding the shareholders’ general meeting, inform the shareholders again of the motions to be considered and the date and venue of the meeting by way of public announcement. After the announcement is made, the shareholders’ meeting may be convened. The accidental omission by us to give notice of a meeting to, or the non-receipt of notice of a meeting by, a shareholder will not invalidate the proceedings at that shareholders’ meeting.
 
Shareholders at meetings have the power, among other things, to examine and approve our profit distribution plans and plans to recover loses, the annual budget, an increase or reduction of registered share capital, the reports of our board of directors and supervisory committee, the issuance of debentures, and the plans for merger, division, dissolution or liquidation; to elect or remove our directors and supervisors who are not elected as employees’ representatives; and to review and amend our Articles of Association. In addition, the rights of a class of shareholders may not be modified or abrogated, unless approved by a special resolution of shareholders at a general shareholders’ meeting and by a special resolution of shareholders of that class of shares at a separate meeting. Our Articles of Association enumerate, without limitation, certain amendments which would be deemed to be a modification or abrogation of the rights of a class of shareholders, including increasing or decreasing the number of shares of such class or the number of shares of a class with voting or distribution rights or privileges equal or superior to the shares of such class, removing or reducing rights to receive dividends in a particular currency, and creating shares with voting or distribution rights or privileges equal or superior to shares of such class.
 
Each share is entitled to one vote on all such matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders at the shareholders’ general meetings, except for meetings of a special class of shareholders where only holders of shares of the affected class are entitled to vote on the basis of one vote per share of the affected class.
 
Shareholders are entitled to attend and vote at meetings either in person or by proxy. Proxies must be in writing and deposited at our legal address, or such other place as is specified in the meeting notice, not less than 24 hours before the time for holding the meeting at which the proxy proposes to vote or the time appointed for the passing of the relevant resolution(s). When the instrument appointing a proxy is executed by the shareholder’s attorney-in-fact, such proxy when deposited must be accompanied by a notary certified copy of the relevant power of attorney or other authority under which the proxy was executed.
 
Except for those actions discussed below which require supermajority votes (‘‘special resolutions’’), resolutions of the shareholders are passed by a simple majority of the voting shares held by shareholders who
 

 
77

 

 
are present in person or by proxy. Special resolutions must be passed by more than two-thirds of the voting shares held by shareholders who are present in person or by proxy.
 
The following decisions must be adopted by special resolution:
 
 
·
an increase or reduction of our registered share capital or the issuance of shares, including stock distributions, of any class, warrants and other similar securities;
 
 
·
issuance of debentures;
 
 
·
our division, merger, dissolution, liquidation and change of the legal form;
 
 
·
amendments to our Articles of Association;
 
 
·
acquisition or disposal of material assets or providing guarantee in the amount exceeding 30% of our most recent audited total assets within one year; and
 
 
·
any other matters our shareholders have resolved by way of an ordinary resolution at a general meeting to be of a nature which may have a material impact on us and should be adopted by special resolution.
 
In addition, amendments to the Articles of Association require the approval and consent of the relevant PRC authorities.
 
All other actions taken by the shareholders, including the appointment and removal of our directors and supervisors and the declaration of cash dividend payments, will be decided by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders.
 
Any shareholder resolution which is in violation of any laws or regulations of the PRC will be null and void.
 
Liquidation Rights
 
In the event of our liquidation, the ordinary shares held by overseas shareholders will rank pari passu with the ordinary shares held by the domestic shareholders, and any of our assets remaining after payments (in order of priority) of (a) the costs of liquidation (b) wages and social insurance fees payable to or for our employees for the past three years prior to the date of liquidation; (c) overdue taxes and tax surcharges, funds and other amounts payable pursuant to the applicable administrative regulations; and (d) bank loans, corporate bonds and other debts, will be divided among our shareholders in accordance with the class of shares and their proportional shareholdings.
 
Further Capital Call
 
Shareholders are not liable to make any further contribution to the share capital other than according to the terms, which were agreed by the subscriber of the relevant shares at the time of subscription.
 
Increases in Share Capital and Preemptive Rights
 
The Articles of Association require the approval by a special resolution of the shareholders prior to authorizing, allotting, issuing or granting shares, securities convertible into shares or options, warrants or similar rights to subscribe for any shares or such convertible securities. New issues of shares must also be approved by the relevant PRC authorities.
 
Shareholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to new issues of shares of the Company.
 
Reduction of Share Capital and Purchase by Us of Our Shares and General Mandate to Repurchase Shares
 
We may reduce our registered share capital only upon obtaining the approval of the shareholders by a special resolution and, in certain circumstances, of relevant PRC authorities. The number of H Shares, which may be purchased is subject to the Hong Kong Takeovers and Share Repurchase Codes.
 
Restrictions on Large or Controlling Shareholders
 
Our Articles of Association provide that, in addition to any obligation imposed by laws and administration regulations or required by the listing rules of the stock exchanges on which our shares are listed, a controlling shareholder shall not exercise his voting rights in a manner prejudicial to the interests of the shareholders generally or of some part of the shareholders:
 
 
(1)
to relieve a director or supervisor from his or her duty to act honestly in our best interests;
 
 
(2)
to approve the expropriation by a director or supervisor (for his or her own benefit or for the benefit of another person) of our assets in any way, including, without limitation, opportunities which may benefit us; or
 

 
78

 

 
 
(3)
to approve the expropriation by a director or supervisor (for his or her own benefit or for the benefit of another person) of the individual rights of other shareholders, including, without limitation, rights to distributions and voting rights (save according to a restructuring of our company which has been submitted for approval by the shareholders in a general meeting in accordance with our Articles of Association).
 
A controlling shareholder, however, will not be precluded by our Articles of Association or any laws and administrative regulations or the listing rules of the stock exchanges on which our shares are listed from voting on these matters.
 
A controlling shareholder is defined by our Articles of Association as a shareholder whose capital contribution represents 50% or more of the total capital of our company, or a shareholder whose shares represent 50% or more of the total issued share capital of our company, or a shareholder whose capital contribution or shares is less than 50% but obtain significant voting right to influence the result of the shareholder’ general meeting or the resolutions passed thereby.
 
Disclosure
 
The Listing Agreement imposes a requirement on us to keep the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, our shareholders and other holders of our listed securities informed as soon as reasonably practicable of any information relating to us and our subsidiaries, including information on any major new developments which are not public knowledge, which:
 
 
·
is necessary to enable them and the public to appraise the position of us and our subsidiaries;
 
 
·
is necessary to avoid the establishment of a false market in its securities; and
 
 
·
might be reasonably expected materially to affect market activity in and the price of its securities.
 
There are also requirements under the Listing Rules for us to obtain prior shareholders’ approval and/or to disclose to shareholders details of certain acquisitions or disposals of assets and other transactions (including transactions with controlling shareholders).
 
Sources of Shareholders’ Rights
 
The PRC’s legal system is based on written statutes and is a system in which decided legal cases have little precedent value. Prior to the effectiveness of the Company Law, the PRC did not have a comprehensive body of laws governing joint stock limited companies. The rights and obligations of our shareholders are principally contained in our constitutive documents and the Standard Opinion, under which we were established. In December 1993, the Standing Committee of the 8th National People’s Congress adopted the PRC Company Law, which superseded the Standard Opinion. In accordance with Article 229 of the Company Law, we must comply with the relevant requirements of the Company Law within an unspecified time period. As a result, we amended our Articles of Association pursuant to the Company Law on June 6, 1995. On October 27, 2005, the Company Law was amended by the Standing Committee of the 10th National People’s Congress, and came into force on January 1, 2006.
 
Currently, the primary sources of shareholder’s rights are our Articles of Association, as amended, the PRC Company Law and the Listing Rules of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which, among other things, impose certain standards of conduct, fairness and disclosure on us, our directors and our controlling shareholder. To facilitate the offering and listing of shares of PRC companies overseas, and to regulate the behavior of companies whose shares are listed overseas, the State Council Securities Committee and the State Commission for Restructuring the Economic System issued on August 27, 1994 the Mandatory Provisions for Articles of Association of Company Listing Overseas (the ‘‘Mandatory Provisions’’). These Mandatory Provisions become entrenched in that, once they are incorporated into the Articles of Association of a PRC company, any amendment to those provisions will only become effective after approval by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council. The Listing Rules require a number of additional provisions to the Mandatory Provisions to be included in the Articles of Association of PRC companies listing H Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (the ‘‘Additional Provisions’’). The Mandatory Provisions and the Additional Provisions have been incorporated into our Articles of Association.
 
In addition, upon the listing of and for so long as the H Shares are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, we are subject to the relevant ordinances, rules and regulations applicable to companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, including the Listing Rules of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Securities (Disclosure of Interests) Ordinance (the ‘‘SDI Ordinance’’), the Securities (Insider Dealing) Ordinance and the Hong Kong Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and Share Repurchases (the ‘‘Hong Kong Takeovers and Repurchase Codes’’).
 
Enforceability of Shareholders’ Rights
 

 
79

 

 
There has not been any public disclosure in relation to the enforcement by holders of H Shares of their rights under constitutive documents of joint stock limited companies or the Company Law or in the application or interpretation of the PRC or Hong Kong regulatory provisions applicable to the PRC joint stock limited companies.
 
The Company Law, as amended in October 2005 and effective in January 2006, has granted shareholders with the rights to bring derivative suits. Within the Company Law, Shareholders holding more than 1 percent of the shares of the company for more than 180 consecutive days are entitled to request the supervisory committee (in terms of directors and senior management) or the board of directors (in terms of supervisors) to bring legal proceedings, or bring legal proceedings in their own name on behalf of the company where it is in emergency and the Company will be subject to irreparable loss if not to do so, against directors, supervisors or senior management who fail to comply with the laws and regulations or the company’s Articles of Association in the course of performing their duties and cause loss to the company;
 
Our Articles of Association provide that all differences or claims:
 
 
·
between a holder of H Shares and us;
 
 
·
between a holder of H Shares and any of our directors, supervisors, general managers or other senior officers; or
 
 
·
between a holder of H Shares and a holder of domestic ordinary shares, arising from any provision of our Articles of Association, any right or obligation conferred or imposed by the Company Law or any other relevant law or administrative regulation which concerns our affairs
 
must, with certain exceptions, be referred to arbitration at either the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission in the PRC or the Hong Kong International Arbitration Center. Our Articles of Association provide that such arbitration will be final and conclusive. In June 1999, an arrangement was made between the People’s Courts of the PRC and the courts of Hong Kong to mutually enforce arbitration rewards rendered in the PRC and Hong Kong according to their respective laws. This new arrangement was approved by the Supreme Court of the PRC and the Hong Kong Legislative Council and became effective on February 1, 2000.
 
The holders of H Shares will not be able to bring actions on the basis of violations of the Listing Rules and must rely on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to enforce its rules. The SDI Ordinance establishes certain obligations in relation to disclosure of shareholder’s interests in Hong Kong listed companies, the violation of which is subject to prosecution by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Takeovers and Repurchase Codes do not have the force of law and are only standards of commercial conduct considered acceptable for takeover and merger transactions and share repurchases in Hong Kong as established by the Securities and Futures Commission and the securities and futures industry in Hong Kong.
 
We have appointed CT Corporation System, New York, as our agent to receive service of process with respect to any action brought against us in certain courts in New York under the United States federal and New York State’s securities laws. However, as the PRC does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts within the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan or most other the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries, administrative actions brought by regulatory authorities, such as the Commission, and other actions which result in foreign court judgments, could (assuming such actions are not required by PRC law and the Articles of Association to be arbitrated) only be enforced in the PRC on a reciprocal basis or according to relevant international treaty to which China is a party if such judgments or rulings do not violate the basic principles of the law of the PRC or the sovereignty, security and public interest of the society of the PRC, as determined by a People’s Court of the PRC which has the jurisdiction for recognition and enforcement of judgments. We have been advised by our PRC counsel, Haiwen & Partners, that there is uncertainty as to the enforceability in the PRC of actions to enforce judgments of United States courts arising out of or based on the ownership of H Shares or ADSs, including judgments arising out of or based on the civil liability provisions of United States federal or state securities laws.
 
Restrictions on Transferability and the Share Register
 
H Shares may be traded only among investors who are not PRC persons, and may not be sold to PRC investors. There are no restrictions on the ability of investors who are not PRC residents to hold H Shares.
 
As provided in the Articles of Associations we may refuse to register a transfer of H Shares listed on Hong Kong Stock Exchange unless:
 
 
·
a fee (for each instrument of transfer) of HK dollar 2.50, or any higher fee as agreed by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, has been paid to us;
 
 
·
the instrument of transfer only involves H Shares;
 

 
80

 

 
 
·
the stamp duty chargeable on the instrument of transfer has been paid;
 
 
·
the relevant share certificate and upon the reasonable request of the board of directors, any evidence in relation to the right of the transferor to transfer the shares have been submitted;
 
 
·
if it is intended to transfer the shares to joint owners, then the maximum number of joint owners must not exceed four;
 
 
·
we do not have any lien on the relevant shares.
 
We are required to maintain original share register for holders of H Shares in Hong Kong and a copy of the register at our legal address. Shareholders have the right to inspect and, for a reasonable charge, to copy the share register. No transfers of ordinary shares shall be recorded in our share register within 20 days prior to the date of a shareholders’ general meeting or within 5 days prior to the record date established for the purpose of distributing a dividend.
 
We have appointed Hong Kong Registrars Limited to act as the registrar of our H Shares. This registrar maintains our register of holders of H Shares in Hong Kong and enters transfers of shares in such register upon the presentation of the documents described above.
 
C.           Material contracts
 
See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — B. Related Party Transactions” for certain arrangements we have entered into with HIPDC and Huaneng Group.
 
D.           Exchange controls
 
The existing foreign exchange regulations have significantly reduced government foreign exchange controls for transactions under the current account, including trade and service related foreign exchange transactions and payment of dividends. We may not undertake current account foreign exchange transactions without prior approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange or its local branch offices by performing certain required procedures. The PRC government has stated publicly that it intends to make the Renminbi freely convertible in the future. However, we cannot predict whether the PRC government will continue its existing foreign exchange policy and when the PRC government will allow free conversion of Renminbi to foreign currency.
 
Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account, under most circumstances, including principal payments in respect of foreign currency-denominated obligations, continue to be subject to significant foreign exchange controls and require the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange or its local branch offices.  These limitations could affect our ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, or to obtain foreign exchange for capital expenditures.
 
The conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, is based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China. Renminbi appreciated by more than 20% against the U.S. dollar between July 2005 and July 2008. Between July 2008 and June 2010, this appreciation halted and the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar remained within a narrow band. Since June 2010, Renminbi has been appreciated slowly against the U.S. dollar again. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future. There remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to further liberalize its currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation in the value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar. However, there is no assurance that there will not be a devaluation of Renminbi in the future. If there is such a devaluation, our debt servicing cost will increase and the return to our overseas investors may decrease.

E.           Taxation
 
The following is a summary of (i) certain tax consequences from acquiring, owning and disposing the H Shares and ADSs based on tax laws of the PRC, the United States and the Income Tax Treaty between the PRC and the United States (the “Tax Treaty”) as in effect on the date of this annual report, and is subject to changes in PRC or United States law, including changes that could have retroactive effect, and (ii) the principal PRC taxes to which we are subject to.  The following summary does not take into account or discuss the tax laws of any countries or regions other than the PRC and the United States, nor does it take into account the individual circumstances of an investor.  This summary does not purport to be a complete technical analysis or examination of all potential tax effects relevant to an investment in the H Shares or ADSs and current and prospective investors in all jurisdictions of the H Shares or ADSs are advised to consult their tax advisors as to PRC, United States or other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the H Shares or ADSs.  This summary also does not purport to be a complete technical analysis or examination of all potential PRC taxes that may be levied upon us.
 
PRC tax considerations
 
Tax on dividends
 
Individual investors
 
According to the current PRC tax regulations, dividends paid by PRC companies to individual investors are ordinarily subject to a PRC withholding tax levied at a flat rate of 20%. For a foreign individual who has no domicile or does not stay in the territory of China or who has no domicile but has stayed in the territory of China for less than one year, the receipt of dividend from a company in China is normally subject to a withholding tax of 20% unless reduced or exempted by applicable tax treaties.
 
Enterprises
 
In accordance with the New Enterprise Income Tax Law that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends derived from the revenues accumulated from January 1, 2008 and are paid by PRC companies to non-resident enterprises are generally subject to a PRC withholding tax levied at a rate of 10% unless exempted or reduced pursuant to an applicable double-taxation treaty or other exemptions. Dividends paid by PRC companies to resident enterprises, including enterprises established under the laws of non-PRC jurisdictions but whose “de facto management body” is located in the PRC, are not subject to any PRC withholding tax, unless the dividends are derived from the publicly traded shares which have not been held continuously by the resident enterprises for twelve months.  According to the Notice on the Issues Concerning Withholding the Enterprise Income Tax on the Dividends Paid by Chinese Resident Enterprise to H Share Holders Which Are Overseas Non-resident Enterprises issued by the State Administration of Taxation on November 6, 2008, Chinese resident enterprises are required to withhold PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 10% on dividends paid for 2008 and later years payable to their respective H Shares holders who are non-resident enterprises.
 
Capital gains tax on sales of shares
 
In accordance with the New Enterprise Income Tax Law, capital gains realized by foreign enterprises which are non-resident enterprises in China upon the sale of overseas shares are generally subject to a PRC withholding tax levied at a rate of 10%, unless exempted or reduced pursuant to an applicable double-taxation treaty or other exemptions. The capital gains realized by resident enterprises, including enterprises established under the laws of non-PRC jurisdictions but whose “de facto management body” is located in the PRC, upon the sales of oversea shares are subject to the PRC corporate income tax.
 
Tax treaties
 
Non-PRC Investors residing in countries which have entered into double-taxation treaties with the PRC may be entitled to a reduction of the withholding tax imposed on the payment of dividends to such Foreign Holders of us.  The PRC currently has double-taxation treaties with a number of countries, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States.
 
Stamp tax
 

 
82

 

 
Under the Provisional Regulations of The People’s Republic of China Concerning Stamp Tax, which became effective in October, 1988, PRC stamp tax should not be imposed on the transfer of H Shares or ADSs of PRC publicly traded companies.
 
Taxation of the Company
 
Income tax
 
Prior to January 1, 2008, according to the relevant income tax law, foreign invested enterprises were, in general, subject to statutory income tax of 33% (30% enterprise income tax and 3% local income tax). If these enterprises are located in certain specified locations or cities, or are specifically approved by State Administration of Taxation, a lower tax rate would be applied. Effective from January 1, 1999, in accordance with the practice notes on the PRC income tax laws applicable to foreign invested enterprises investing in energy and transportation infrastructure businesses, a reduced enterprise income tax rate of 15% (after the approval of State Administration of Taxation) was applicable across the country. We applied this rule to all of our wholly owned operating power plants after obtaining the approval of State Administration of Taxation. In addition, certain power plants were exempted from enterprise income tax for two years starting from the first profit-making year, after offsetting all tax losses carried forward from the previous years (at most of five years), followed by a 50% reduction of the applicable tax rate for the next three years. The statutory income tax was assessed individually based on each of their results of operations.
 
On March 16, 2007, the Enterprise Income Tax Law of PRC, or the New Enterprise Income Tax Law, was enacted, and became effective on January 1, 2008.  The New Enterprise Income Tax Law imposes a uniform income tax rate of 25% for domestic enterprises and foreign invested enterprises. Therefore, our power plants  subject to a 33% income tax rate prior to January 1, 2008 are subject to a lower tax rate of 25% starting on January 1, 2008. With regard to our power plants entitled to a reduced enterprise income tax rate of 15% prior to January 1, 2008, their effective tax rate is being gradually increased to 25% within a five-year transition period commencing on January 1, 2008. Accordingly, the effective tax rate of our wholly-owned power plants will increase over time. In addition, although our power plants currently entitled to tax exemption and reduction under the income tax laws and regulations that are effective prior to the New Enterprise Income Tax Law will continue to enjoy such preferential treatments until the expiration of the same, newly established power plants will not be able to benefit from such tax incentives, unless they can satisfy specific qualifications, if any, provided by then effective laws and regulations on preferential tax treatment.
 
Pursuant to Guo Shui Han [2009] 33 document, starting from January 1, 2008, the Company and its branches calculate and pay income tax on a combined basis according to relevant tax laws and regulations. The original regulation specifying locations for power plants and branches of the Company to make enterprise income tax payments was abolished. The income tax of subsidiaries remains to be calculated individually based on their individual operating results.
 
Value-added tax
 
Since January 1, 1994, the government has implemented a turnover tax system applicable to FIEs.  Under the turnover tax provisions, we have to collect from our electricity customers and pay to the PRC tax authorities a value-added tax (“VAT”) on our sales.  The tax rate on sales of electricity by us is 17% of total sales.  The amount of VAT payable by us is the VAT on sales reduced by the VAT paid by us on our purchases of coal, fuel and other inputs.
 
In addition, effective from January 1, 2009, VAT payers are allowed to credit against output VAT in respect of input VAT on fixed assets purchased or self-manufactured based on the relevant VAT credit receipts in accordance with the revised VAT regulations and its implementation rules.
 
United States federal income tax considerations
 
The following is a summary of United States federal income tax considerations that are anticipated to be material to U.S. Holders (as defined below) relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our H shares or ADSs. This summary is based upon existing United States federal income tax law, which is subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary does not discuss all aspects of United States federal income taxation which may be important to particular investors in light of their individual investment circumstances, such as investors subject to special tax rules including: financial institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers, traders in securities that elect mark-to-market treatment, partnerships and their partners, tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations), non-U.S. Holders, investors who own (directly, indirectly, or constructively) 10% or more of the voting power or value of our stock, investors that hold H shares or ADSs as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale, or other integrated transaction for United States federal income tax purposes, or U.S. Holders that have a functional currency other than the United States dollar, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below.  In addition, this summary does not discuss any state, local, non-United States, or alternative minimum tax considerations.  This summary only addresses investors that hold their H shares or ADSs as “capital assets”
 

 
83

 

 
(generally, property held for investment) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the United States federal, state, local, and non-United States income and other tax considerations of an investment in H shares or ADSs.
 
For purposes of this summary, a U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of H shares or ADSs that is, for United States federal income tax purposes,:
 
 
·
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
 
 
·
a corporation created in or organized under the laws of, the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia;
 
 
·
an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or
 
 
·
a trust (a) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) a trust that has otherwise elected to be treated as a United States person under the Code.
 
If a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of H shares or ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in a partnership holding our H shares or ADSs should consult their tax advisors regarding the United States federal income tax consequences applicable to them of an investment in H shares or ADSs.
 
For United States federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders of ADSs will be treated as the beneficial owners of the underlying H shares represented by the ADSs. Accordingly, deposits or withdrawals of H shares for ADSs will not be subject to United States federal income tax. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in withdrawn H shares will be the same as the tax basis in the ADSs surrendered therefor, and the holding period of withdrawn H shares will include the period during which the holder held the surrendered ADSs.
 
Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations
 
A non-United States corporation, such as our company, will be a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”), for United States federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, if either (a) 75% or more of its gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive” income or (b) 50% or more of its average quarterly assets as determined on the basis of fair market value during such year produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, cash and assets readily convertible into cash are categorized as passive assets and the company’s unbooked intangibles associated with active business activities may generally be classified as active assets. We will be treated as owning a proportionate share of the assets and earning a proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% (by value) of the stock.
 
We do not believe that we were classified as a PFIC for the taxable year ending 2011 and we do not expect to be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year ending 2012. The determination of whether we will be or become a PFIC will depend, in part, upon the composition of our income and our assets (which are subject to change from year to year) and the value of our H shares or ADSs (of which we cannot control). Although we do not expect that our business plans will change in a manner that will affect our PFIC status, no assurance can be  given in this regard. Because there are uncertainties in the application of the relevant rules and PFIC status is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis, no assurance can be given that we will not be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year.
 
The discussion below under “Dividends” and “Sale or Other Disposition” of H shares or ADSs assumes that we will not be classified as a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes. See the discussion below under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” for a brief summary of the PFIC rules.
 
Dividends
 
The gross amount of any cash distributions (including the amount of any tax withheld) paid on our H shares or ADSs out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles, will be subject to tax as dividend income on the day actually or constructively received by a U.S. Holder, in the case of H shares, or by the depositary bank, in the case of ADSs. Because we do not intend to determine our earnings and profits on the basis of United States federal income tax principles, any distribution paid will generally be reported as a “dividend” for United States federal income tax purposes.  For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013, a non-corporate recipient of dividend income will generally be subject to tax on dividend income from a “qualified foreign corporation” at a reduced capital gains rate rather
 

 
84

 

 
than the marginal tax rates generally applicable to ordinary income provided that the holding period requirement is met.
 
A non-U.S. corporation (other than a corporation that is classified as a PFIC for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year) generally will be considered to be a qualified foreign corporation (i) if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States which the Secretary of Treasury of the United States determines is satisfactory for purposes of this provision and which includes an exchange of information program or (ii) with respect to any dividend it pays on stock which is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. There is currently a tax treaty in effect between the United States and the People’s Republic of China (the “U.S.-PRC Treaty”) which the Secretary of Treasury of the United States determined is satisfactory for these purposes and we believe that we are eligible for the benefits of such treaty. Additionally, our ADSs trade on the New York Stock Exchange, an established securities market in the United States. Although we presently believe that we are a qualified foreign corporation for purposes of the reduced tax rate, no assurance can be given that we will continue to be treated as a qualified foreign corporation in the future. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced tax rate on dividends under their particular circumstances. Dividends received on H shares or ADSs will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations.
 
Dividends paid in non-United States currency will be includible in income in a United States dollar amount based on the exchange rate prevailing at the time of receipt of such dividends by the depositary, in the case of ADSs, or by the U.S. Holder, in the case of H shares held directly by such U.S. Holder, regardless of whether the non-United States currency is actually converted into United States dollars at that time. Gain or loss, if any, recognized on a subsequent sale, conversion or other disposition of the non-United States currency will generally be United States source income or loss.
 
Dividends received on H shares or ADSs will be treated, for United States foreign tax credit purposes, as foreign source income. A U.S. Holder may be eligible, subject to a number of complex limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit in respect of any non-United States withholding taxes imposed on dividends received on H shares or ADSs. U.S. Holders who do not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign income tax withheld may instead claim a deduction, for United States federal income tax purposes, in respect of such withholdings, but only for a year in which the U.S. Holder elects to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.
 
Sale or Other Disposition of H shares or ADSs
 
A U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale or other disposition of H shares or ADSs in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such H shares or ADSs. Any capital gain or loss will be long-term if the H shares or ADSs have been held for more than one year and will generally be United States source gain or loss for United States foreign tax credit purposes. A U.S. Holder that is eligible for the benefits of the U.S.- PRC Treaty may elect to treat the gain as non-United States source gain or loss.  The deductibility of a capital loss may be subject to limitations.
 
U.S. Holders that receive currency other than the United States dollar upon the sale or other disposition of H shares will realize an amount equal to the United States dollar value of the non-United States currency on the date of such sale or other disposition, or if the shares are traded on an established securities market, in the case of cash basis and electing accrual basis taxpayers, the settlement date. U.S. Holders will recognize currency gain or loss if the United States dollar value of the currency received on the settlement date differs from the amount realized. U.S. Holders will have a tax basis in the currency received equal to the United States dollar amount at the spot rate on the settlement date. Generally, any gain or loss realized by U.S. Holders on a subsequent conversion or disposition of such currency will be United States source ordinary income or loss.
 
Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules
 
If we were to be classified as a PFIC in any taxable year, a special tax regime will apply to both (a) any “excess distribution” by us to a U.S. Holder (generally, the U.S. Holder’s ratable portion of distributions in any year which are greater than 125% of the average annual distribution received by such U.S. Holder in the shorter of the three preceding years or the U.S. Holder’s holding period for our H shares or ADSs) and (b) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the H shares or ADSs. Under this regime, any excess distribution and realized gain will be treated as ordinary income and will be subject to tax as if (a) the excess distribution or gain had been realized ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period, (b) the amount deemed realized in each year had been subject to tax in each year of that holding period at the highest marginal rate for such year (other than income allocated to the current period or any taxable period before we became a PFIC, which would be subject to tax at the U.S. Holder’s regular ordinary income rate for the current year and would not be subject to the interest charge discussed below), and (c) the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax had been imposed on the taxes deemed to have been payable in those years. In addition, dividends made to a U.S.
 

 
85

 

 
Holder will not qualify for the lower rates of taxation applicable to long-term capital gains discussed above under “Dividends”.
 
The above results may be eliminated if a “mark-to-market” election is available and a U.S. Holder validly makes such an election. If the election is made, such holder generally will be required to take into account the difference, if any, between the fair market value and its adjusted tax basis in H shares or ADSs at the end of each taxable year as ordinary income or ordinary loss (to the extent of any net mark-to-market gain previously included in income). In addition, any gain from a sale or other disposition of H shares or ADSs will be treated as ordinary income, and any loss will be treated as ordinary loss (to the extent of any net mark-to-market gain previously included in income).
 
Backup Withholding  and Information Reporting
 
Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals are required to report information relating to an interest in “specified foreign financial assets,” including shares issued by a non-United States corporation, for any year in which the aggregate value of all specified foreign financial assets exceeds $50,000, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for ordinary shares held in custodial accounts maintained with a United States financial institution). A U.S. Holder who fails to timely furnish the required information may be subject to a penalty. In addition, information reporting generally will apply to dividends on and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our H shares or ADSs. Dividend payments with respect to our H shares or ADSs and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our H shares or ADSs are not generally subject to U.S. backup withholding (provided that certain certification requirements are satisfied). U.S. Holders are advised to consult with their tax advisors regarding the application of the United States information reporting and backup withholding rules.

ITEM 11  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Our primary market risk exposures are fluctuations fuel prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates.
 
Equity price risk
 
The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to equity security risk because of investments held by the Company and its subsidiaries and classified on the balance sheets as available-for-sale and trading securities.
 
Detailed information relating to the available-for-sale investments is disclosed in Note 10 to the financial statements. Being a strategic investment in nature, the Company has a supervisor in the supervisory committee of the investee and exercises influence in safeguarding the interest. The Company and its subsidiaries also closely monitor the pricing trends in the open market in determining their long-term strategic stakeholding decisions.
 
As at 31 December 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries are also exposed to equity security price risk arising from the investments classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. These securities are listed in Hong Kong. To manage the risk, the Company and its subsidiaries closely monitors the market prices of these securities.
 
Foreign exchange rate risk
 
A portion of our Renminbi revenues are converted into other currencies to (i) repay our debts denominated in currencies other than RMB, and (ii) pay for imported equipment.
 
The exchange rate of Renminbi to foreign currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. The conversion of Renminbi into foreign
 

 
86

 

 
currencies, including U.S. dollars, is based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China. Renminbi appreciated by more than 20% against the U.S. dollar between July 2005 and July 2008. Between July 2008 and June 2010, this appreciation halted and the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar remained within a narrow band. Since June 2010, Renminbi has appreciated slowly against the U.S. dollar again. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future.There remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to further liberalize its currency policy. We cannot assure you that any future movements in the exchange rate of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies will not adversely affect our results of operations and financial conditions.
 
SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries exposed to foreign exchange risk on fuel purchase that is denominated primarily in U.S. dollars. They use forward exchange contracts to hedge almost all of its estimated foreign exchange exposure in respect of forecast fuel purchases over the following three months. The Company and its subsidiaries classify its forward foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges.
 
The following table provides information, by maturity date, regarding our foreign currency sensitive financial instruments, which consist of bank balances and cash, short-term and long-term debt obligations, capital commitments and forward exchange contracts as of December 31, 2011 and average interest rates for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Note:
 
(1)
The interest rates for variable rate bank and other loans are calculated based on the individual year beginning indices.
 
The outstanding balance of the Company’s loans denominated in foreign currencies has changed continually as a result of repayments of the loans by the Company according to agreed-upon repayment schedules. The loans denominated in U.S. dollar decreased from RMB6.24 billion as of December 31, 2010 to RMB4.91 billion as of December 31, 2011. The loans denominated in JPY decreased from RMB9.67 million as of December 31, 2010 to nil as of December 31, 2011. The loans denominated in Euro decreased from RMB839 million as of December 31, 2010 to RMB701 million as of December 31, 2011.
 
Interest rate risk
 
We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily resulting from fluctuations in interest rates on our debts. Upward fluctuations in interest rates increase the cost of new variable rate debts and the interest cost of outstanding floating rate borrowings.
 

 
87

 

 
At present, the interest rate of the Company’s loans denominated in RMB is subject to the change on the benchmark interest rate published and adjusted by the People’s Bank of China. Different interest rate level corresponds to loans with different term. New loan contracts entered hereafter will be subject to current benchmark interest rate. A portion of the Company’s loans denominated in foreign currency are fixed rate loans, which are not subject to the changes in market interest rate.  Due to the loan borrowed in relation to the acquisition of SinoSing Power, the portion of the loans denominated in foreign currency with floating interest rate increased, which subjects the finance cost of the Company to the fluctuation of market interest rate.  In 2009, the Company entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement to hedge against cash flow interest rate risk of part of the loan. According to the interest rate swap agreement, the Company agrees with the counterparty to settle the difference between fixed contract rates and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional amounts quarterly until 2019. The notional amount of the outstanding interest rate swap at December 31, 2011 was US$368 million.
 
In 2009, Tuas Power completed its refinancing, through which all of its outstanding loans denominated in U.S. dollar were refinanced through loans denominated in Singapore dollars, matching the functional currency of its operation. The loans borrowed by Tuas Power are denominated in Singapore dollars, and the majority of them are with floating interest rate, which subjects the finance cost of the Company to the fluctuation of market interest rate. In 2010 and 2011, Tuas Power Generation Pte Ltd. (“TPG”) also entered into a number of floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements to hedge against cash flow interest rate risk of a loan. According to these interest rate swap agreements, TPG agrees with the counterparty to settle the difference between fixed contract rates and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional amount semi-annually until 2020. The notional amount of the outstanding interest rate swap at December 31, 2011 was S$1,564 million.
 
The table below provides information about the Company and its subsidiaries’ derivative financial instruments and other financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, including interest rate swaps and debt obligations. For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. For interest rate swaps, the table presents notional amounts and weighted average interest rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at the reporting date.

The interest rates for variable rate bank and other loans are calculated based on the individual year begining indices.
 
As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s floating rate loans denominated in foreign currency amounted to RMB 4,679 million, accounting for approximately 83.43% of the total foreign loans, most of which was denominated in U.S. dollars, and the average credit spread is 97 bps. In addition, SinoSing Power’s loans denominated in Singapore dollar are floating rate loans and amounted to RMB14,643 million as of December 31,

2011. The interest rates of the loans denominated in U.S. dollar and Singapore dollar are relatively low at the current market condition and there would be no drastic fluctuation within the foreseeable period, thus it would not cause any material adverse effect on the finance cost of the Company. The Company has paid special attention to the trend of international interest rate market by keeping up with the market conditions and predicting the future trend, and has made efforts to explore the feasibility of risk management by application of derivative financial instruments.  The Company expects to implement the relevant plan according to its internal approval procedures and use interest rate swap and other derivative financial instruments to control its interest rate risk upon appropriate time.
 
Commodity price risk
 
We are exposed to fuel price risk on fuel purchases. SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries use fuel oil swap to hedge against such risk. The table below provides information about the fuel swap contracts that are sensitive to changes in fuel prices, including contract volumes, the weighted average contract prices, and the total contract amount by expected maturity dates.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2011 (the “Evaluation Date”), the end of the fiscal year covered by this annual report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our chairman of the board, or principal executive officer, and chief accountant, or principal financial officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based upon the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011 at providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
During the year ended December 31, 2011, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Wu Liansheng and Mr. Qi Yudong qualify as Audit Committee Financial Experts in accordance with the terms of Item 16A of Form 20-F.  Mr. Wu Liansheng and Mr. Qi Yudong were respectively appointed as our independent non-executive directors on May 17, 2011.  See “Item 6 Directors, Senior Management and Employees — A.

Code of Ethics
 
Although, as of the date of this annual report, we do not have, in form, a code of ethics that applies to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer (collectively, the “Senior Corporate Officers”), we believe that, as a substantive matter, the Senior Corporate Officers are subject to a set of written requirements under the PRC law that are substantially similar to the ethical standards described under Item 16B(b) of Form 20-F.  Joint stock companies that are incorporated in China and listed on both PRC and foreign stock exchanges are heavily regulated by the central government.  To a large extent, these requirements, which are designed to promote honest and ethical conduct and compliance with applicable laws and regulations by the directors and senior executives of such companies, are not merely ethical requirements, but more importantly, statutory obligations that are legally binding on these individuals

Audit Services are defined as the standard audit work that needs to be performed each year in order to issue an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting of the Company and its subsidiaries.  It also includes other audit services which are those services that only the external auditors reasonably can provide, such as auditing of non-recurring transactions and application of new accounting policies, audits of significant and newly implemented system controls and pre-issuance reviews of quarterly financial results.
 
Audit-related Services include those other assurances and related services provided by auditors, but not restricted to those that can only reasonably be provided by the external auditors signing the auditors’ report, that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements such as acquisition due diligence, consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. The decrease of audit-related fees was mainly due to the decrease of the service fees related to the acquisitions in 2011.
 
Tax Services include the assistance with compliance and reporting of corporate income tax and value-added tax, assistance with our assessment of new or changing tax regimes, assessment of our transfer pricing policies and practices, and assistance with assessing relevant rules, regulations and facts going into our correspondence with tax authorities.
 
Audit Committee Pre-approval Policies and Procedures
 
The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is responsible, among other things, for the oversight of the external auditors subject to the requirements of the PRC Law and the Company’s Articles of Association.  The Audit Committee has adopted a policy regarding pre-approval of audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by our independent auditors (the “Policy”).  Under the Policy, proposed services either (i) may be pre-approved by the Audit Committee without consideration of specific case-by-case services (“general pre-approval”); or (ii) require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee (“specific pre-approval”).  General pre-approval applies to services of recurring and predictable nature.  These types of services, once approved by the Audit Committee in the beginning, will not require further approval in future, except when actual fees and expenses exceed pre-approved budget levels.  In such a case, the Audit Committee may authorize one of its members to approve budget increases subject to the requirement that such member provide a report on his decision to approve or deny an application for budget increases to the Audit Committee at an Audit Committee meeting held immediately after such member grants or denies the approval.
 
Specific pre-approval applies to all other services.  These services must be approved by the Audit Committee on a case-by-case basis after an application including proposed budget and scope of services to be provided by our independent auditors is submitted to the Audit Committee.
 
For 2010 and 2011, all of the services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

ITEM 16F
Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
 
On March 20, 2012, our board of directors resolved to propose change in our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, after the completion of the audit of the December 31, 2011 consolidated financial statements, which refers to the close of our forthcoming 2011 annual general meeting.  The proposed change of auditor was a commercial decision.
 
The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers on our consolidated financial statements for the past two fiscal years contain no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
 
During the two most recent fiscal years and through April 19, 2012, there have been no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers, would have caused it to make reference thereto in their report on the consolidated financial statements for such years.
 
During the two most recent fiscal years and through April 19, 2012, there have been no “reportable events” (hereinafter defined) requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F. As used herein, the term “reportable event” means any of the items listed in paragraphs (a)(1)(v)(A)-(D) of Item 16F of Form 20-F.
 
We provided a copy of this disclosure to PricewaterhouseCoopers and requested that PricewaterhouseCoopers furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements, and if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers addressed to the SEC, dated April 19, 2012, is filed as Exhibit 15.1.
 
On March 20, 2012, our board of directors resolved, as recommended by our audit committee, to propose to appoint KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm, which is subject to the approval of shareholders at our forthcoming 2011 annual general meeting. During the two most recent fiscal years and through April 19, 2012, neither we nor anyone on our behalf consulted KPMG regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the registrant’s financial statements, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and related instructions to Item 16-F of Form 20-F) with KPMG or a “reportable event” (as described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F).  Also, during the two most recent fiscal years and through April 19, 2012, we have not obtained any written report or oral advice that KPMG concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.
 
ITEM 16G
Corporate Governance
 
Comparison of New York Stock Exchange corporate governance rules and China corporate governance rules for listed companies: under the amended Corporate Governance Rules of New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), foreign issuers (including the Company) listed on the NYSE are required to disclose a summary of the significant differences between their domestic corporate governance rules and NYSE corporate governance rules that would apply to a U.S. domestic issuer.  A summary of such differences is listed below:
 
NYSE corporate governance rules
 
Corporate governance rules applicable to the domestically listed companies in China and the Company’s governance practices
 
Director Independence
   
A listed company must have a majority of independent directors on its board of directors. No director qualifies as “independent’’ unless the board of directors affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company). In addition, a director must meet certain standards to be deemed independent. For example, a director is not independent if the director is, or has been within the last three years, an employee of the listed company, or if the director has received, during any twelve-month period within the last three years, more than US$120,000 in direct compensation from the listed company.
 
It is required in China that any listed company must establish an independent director system and set forth specific requirements for the qualification of independent directors. For example, an independent director shall not hold any other position in the listed company other than being a director and shall not be influenced by the main shareholders or the controlling persons of the listed company, or by any other entities or persons with whom the listed company has a significant relationship. The Company has complied with the relevant Chinese corporate governance rules and has implemented internal rules governing the independence and responsibilities of independent directors. The Company determines the


 
93

 


   
independence of independent directors every year.
     
To empower non-management directors to serve as a more effective check on management, the non-management directors of each listed company must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management.
 
No similar requirements.
     
Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee
   
Listed companies must have a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors.
 
The board of directors of a listed company may, through the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting, establish a nominating committee composed entirely of directors, of which the independent directors shall be the majority and the convener. The Company has established a nominating committee.
     
The nominating/corporate governance committee must have a written charter that addresses the committee’s purposes and responsibilities which, at minimum, must be to: search for eligible people for the board of directors, select and nominate directors for the next session of the shareholders’ annual meeting, study and propose corporate governance guidelines, supervise the evaluation of the board of directors and management, and evaluate the performance of the committee every year.
 
Relevant responsibilities of the nominating/corporate governance committee are similar to those stipulated by the NYSE rules, but the main responsibilities do not include the research and recommendation of corporate governance guidelines, the supervision of the evaluation of the board of directors and management, or the annual evaluation of the committee.
     
Compensation Committee
   
Listed companies must have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.
 
The board of directors of a listed company can, through the resolution of shareholders’ meeting, have a compensation and evaluation committee composed entirely of directors, of whom the independent directors are the majority and act as the convener.
 
The compensation committee must have a written charter that addresses, at least, the following purposes and responsibilities:
 
The responsibilities are similar to those stipulated by the NYSE rules, but the committee is not required to produce a report on the executive compensation or make an annual performance evaluation of the committee. The board of directors of the Company has established a compensation and evaluation committee composed mainly of independent directors who act as the convener, and the committee has a written charter.
     
(1)
review and approve the corporate goals associated with CEO’s compensation, evaluate the performance of the CEO in fulfilling these goals, and, either as a committee or together with the other independent directors (as directed by the board) based on such evaluation, determine and approve the CEO’s compensation level;
   
       
(2)
make recommendations to the board with respect to non-CEO executive officer compensation, and incentive-compensation and equity-based plans that are subject to board approval;
   
       
(3)
produce a committee report on executive compensation as required by the SEC to be included in the annual proxy statement or annual report filed
   


 
94

 


  with the SEC.    
     
The charter must also include the requirement for an annual performance evaluation of the compensation committee.
   
     
Audit Committee
   
Listed companies must have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 of Exchange Act. It must have a minimum of three members, and all audit committee members must satisfy the requirements for independence set forth in Section 303A.02 of NYSE Corporate Governance Rules as well as the requirements of Rule 10A-3b (1) of the Exchange Act.
 
The board of directors of a listed company can, through the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting, establish an audit committee composed entirely of directors, of which the independent directors are the majority and act as the convener, and, at minimum, one independent director is an accounting professional.
     
The audit committee must have a written charter that specifies the purpose of the audit committee is, at minimum, to assist the board oversight of the integrity of financial statements, the company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, qualifications and independence of independent auditors and the performance of the listed company’s internal audit function and independent auditors.
 
The responsibilities of the audit committee are similar to those stipulated by the NYSE rules, but according to the domestic practices, the Company is not required to make an annual performance evaluation of the audit committee, and the audit committee is not required to prepare an audit report to be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement. The Board of Directors of the Company has established an audit committee that satisfies relevant domestic requirements and the audit committee has a written charter.
The written charter must also require the audit committee to prepare an audit committee report as required by the SEC to be included in the listed company’s annual proxy statement as well as an annual performance evaluation of the audit committee.
   
     
The written charter must also specify the duties and responsibilities of the audit committee, which, at a minimum, must include those set out in Rule 10A-3(b)(2), (3), (4) and (5) of the Exchange Act, as well as other duties and responsibilities such as to obtain and review a report by the independent auditor at least annually, meet to review and discuss the listed company’s annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with management and independent auditor.
   
     
Each listed company must have an internal audit department.
 
China has a similar regulatory provision, and the Company has an internal audit department.
     
Shareholder approval of equity compensation plan
   
Shareholders must be given the opportunity to vote on equity-compensation plans and material revisions thereto, except for, among others, plans that are made available to shareholders generally, such as typical dividend reinvestment plan, certain awards and plans in the context of mergers and acquisitions.
 
The relevant regulations of China require the board of directors to propose plans on the amount and types of director compensation for the shareholders’ meeting to approve. The compensation plan of executive officers is subject to approval by the board and announced at the shareholders’ meeting and disclosed to the public upon the approval of the board of directors.
     
Corporate governance guidelines
   
Listed companies must adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines, involving director qualification standards, director compensation, director continuing education, annual performance evaluation of the board of directors, etc.
 
CSRC has issued the Corporate Governance Rules, with which the Company has complied.


 
95

 


Code of ethics for directors, officers and employees
   
Listed companies must adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers. Each code of business conduct and ethics must require that any waiver of the code for executive officers or directors may be made only by the board or a board committee.
 
China does not have such requirement for a code for ethics. But, the directors and officers must perform their legal responsibilities in accordance with the Company Law of PRC, relative requirements of CSRC and Mandatory Provisions to the Charter of Companies Listed Overseas.
     
Each listed company’s CEO must certify to the NYSE each year that he or she is not aware of any violation by the Company of NYSE corporate governance listing standards and he or she must promptly notify the NYSE on writing of any material non-compliance with any applicable provisions of Section 303A.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the shareholders of Huaneng Power International, Inc.
 
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting under Item 15 appearing on page 91 of the Annual Report on Form 20-F-2011. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

HUANENG POWER INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards)
(Amounts expressed in thousands of RMB unless otherwise stated)

1.      COMPANY ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
 
Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) as a Sino-foreign joint stock limited company on June 30, 1994. The registered address of the Company is West Wing, Building C, Tianyin Mansion, 2C Fuxingmennan Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, the PRC. The Company and most of its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the generation and sale of electric power to the respective regional or provincial grid companies in the PRC. SinoSing Power Pte. Ltd. (“SinoSing Power”) and its subsidiaries, subsidiaries of the Company, are principally engaged in the power generation and sale in the Republic of Singapore (“Singapore”).
 
The directors consider Huaneng International Power Development Corporation (“HIPDC”) and China Huaneng Group (“Huaneng Group”) as the parent company and ultimate parent company of the Company, respectively. Both HIPDC and Huaneng Group are incorporated in the PRC. Neither Huaneng Group nor HIPDC produced financial statements available for public use.
 
2.      PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
 
(a)      Basis of preparation
 
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, trading securities and derivative financial assets and liabilities. This basis of accounting differs from that used in the preparation of the statutory financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (“PRC statutory financial statements”). The PRC statutory financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries comprising the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the relevant accounting principles and regulations applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, as appropriate in the PRC.  Appropriate adjustments have been made to the PRC statutory financial statements to conform to IFRS.  Differences arising from the restatement have not been incorporated in the statutory accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries.
 
The consolidated financial statements are expressed in Renminbi (“RMB”), the national currency of the PRC. Solely for the convenience of the reader, the December 31, 2011 financial statements have been translated into United States Dollars (US$) at the rate of US$1.00=RMB 6.3009 announced by the People’s Bank of China on December 30, 2011. No representation is made that RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rate on December 30, 2011, or at any other certain rate.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company and its subsidiaries’ accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.
 
As of and for the year ended December 31, 2011, a portion of the Company and its subsidiaries’ funding requirements for capital expenditures were partially satisfied by short-term financing. Consequently, as of December 31, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries have a negative working capital balance of approximately RMB 60.18 billion. Taking into consideration of the expected operating cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries and the undrawn available banking facilities, the Company and its subsidiaries will refinance and / or restructure certain short-term borrowings into long-term borrowings and also consider alternative sources of financing, where applicable. Therefore, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that the Company and its subsidiaries will be able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due within the next twelve months and have prepared these consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.
 
The following new standards and amendments to standards are adopted for the first time to the financial year beginning January 1, 2011.

2.      PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
 
(a)      Basis of preparation ( cont’d)
 
 
·
IAS 24 (revised), ‘Related party disclosures’, issued in November 2009. It supersedes IAS 24, ‘Related party disclosures’, issued in 2003. IAS 24 (revised) is mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The revised standard clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party and removes the requirement for government-related enterprises to disclose details of all transactions with the government and other government-related enterprises. The Company and its subsidiaries have early adopted the partial exemption of disclosure requirements for transactions with government-related enterprises on January 1, 2010and apply the remaining requirements of this standard from January 1, 2011 onwards. The adoption of the remaining requirements results in additional disclosures on transactions and balances with associates / jointly controlled entities of Huaneng Group and its subsidiaries and the commitment with related parties. Please refer to Note 34 for the details of disclosures.
 
 
·
Amendments to IFRS 7, ‘Financial instruments: disclosures’. The amendments were as a result of the May 2010 Improvements to IFRSs (the “May 2010 Improvements”) (effective for financial year beginning January 1, 2011). The May 2010 Improvements clarified certain quantitative disclosures and removed the disclosure requirements on financial assets with renegotiated terms. The Company and its subsidiaries adopt the May 2010 Improvements on IFRS 7 on January 1, 2011. These amendments have no material impact on the financial statements.
 
(b)      Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries made up to December 31.
 
Subsidiaries are investees over which the Company and its subsidiaries have the power to exercise control, i.e., the power to govern the financial and operating policies and obtains benefits from the operating activities of the investees. When determining whether the Company and its subsidiaries exercise control over an investee, the impact from potential voting rights of the investee, such as currently convertible bonds and exercisable warrants, etc. is taken into account. The Company and its subsidiaries also assesses existence of control where it does not have more than 50% of the voting power but is able to govern the financial and operating policies by virtue of de-facto control. De-facto control may arise from circumstances such as enhanced minority rights or contractual terms between shareholders, etc.
 
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date when control is transferred to the Company and its subsidiaries. They are de-consolidated from the date when control ceases. All the significant intra-group balances, transactions and unrealized profit or loss are eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The portion of the shareholders’ equity of the subsidiaries, which is not attributable to the parent company, is separately presented as non-controlling interests in the shareholders’ equity in the consolidated financial statements.
 
When there is any inconsistency on the accounting policies or financial period adopted between subsidiaries and the Company, the financial statements of subsidiaries are adjusted according to the accounting policies or financial period adopted by the Company.
 
(i) Business combinations
 
The acquisition method is used to account for the business combinations of the Company and its subsidiaries (including business combination under common controls). The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company and its subsidiaries. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Company and its subsidiaries recognise any non-controlling interests in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill (Note 2(h)). If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss.

(b)      Consolidation (cont’d)
 
(ii) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control
 
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the equity owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
 
(iii) Associates and jointly controlled entities
 
Associates are investees over which the Company and its subsidiaries have significant influence on the financial and operating decisions. Jointly controlled entities are investees over which the Company and its subsidiaries have contractual arrangements to jointly share control with one or more parties and none of the participating parties has unilateral control over the investees.
 
Investments in associates / jointly controlled entities are initially recognized at cost and are subsequently measured using the equity method of accounting. The excess of the initial investment cost over the proportionate share of the fair value of identifiable net assets of investee acquired is included in the initial investment cost (Note 2(h)). Any shortfall of the initial investment cost to the proportionate share of the fair value of identifiable net assets of investee acquired is recognized in current period profit or loss and long-term investment cost is adjusted accordingly.
 
When applying equity method, the Company and its subsidiaries adjust net profit or loss of the investees, including the fair value adjustments on the net identifiable assets of the associates / jointly controlled entities and the adjustments to align with the accounting policies of the Company and different financial periods. Current period investment income is then recognized based on the proportionate share of the Company and its subsidiaries in the investees’ net profit or loss. Net losses of investees are recognized to the extent of book value of long-term equity investments and any other constituting long-term equity investments in investees in substance. The Company and its subsidiaries will continue to recognize investment losses and provision if they bear additional obligations which meet the recognition criteria under the provision standard.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries adjust the carrying amount of the investment and directly recognize into related other comprehensive income and equity items based on their proportionate share on other shareholders’ other comprehensive income and equity movements of the investees other than net profit or loss, given there is no change in shareholding ratio.
 
When the investees appropriate profit or declare dividends, the book value of long-term equity investments are reduced correspondingly by the proportionate share of the distribution.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries determine at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate / jointly controlled entities is impaired. If this is the case, the Company and its subsidiaries calculate the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate / jointly controlled entities and its carrying value and recognises the amount adjacent to ‘share of profit of associates / jointly controlled entities’ in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
 
Profits or losses resulting from transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries and the associates / jointly controlled entities are recognised in the Company and its subsidiaries financial statements only to the extent of interest of unrelated investor’s interests in the associates and jointly controlled entities. Loss from transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries and the associates / jointly controlled entities is fully recognized and not eliminated when there is evidence for asset impairment.
 
Gains and losses arising from dilution of investments in associates / jointly controlled entities are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

(c)      Segment reporting
 
The Company and its subsidiaries determine the operating segment based on the internal organization structure, management requirement and internal reporting system and thereafter determine the reportable segment and present the segment information.
 
An operating segment represents a component of the Company and its subsidiaries that meets all the conditions below: (i) the component earns revenue and incurs expenses in its daily operating activities; (ii) chief operating decision makers of the Company and its subsidiaries can regularly review the operating results of the component in order to make decisions on allocating resources and assessing performance; (iii) the financial position, operating results, cash flows and other related financial information of the component are available. When the two or more operating segments exhibit similar economic characteristics and meet certain conditions, the Company and its subsidiaries will combine them as one reportable segment.
 
(d)      Foreign currency translation
 
(i)  Functional and presentation currency
 
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company and its subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
 
(ii)  Transactions and balances
 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rate on the transaction dates. On balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated into functional currency at the spot exchange rate on balance sheet date. Exchange differences are directly expensed in current period profit or loss unless they arises from foreign currency loans borrowed for purchasing or construction of qualifying assets which is eligible for capitalization and qualifying cash flow hedges which are deferred in equity.
 
(iii)  Group companies
 
The operating results and financial position of the foreign subsidiaries are translated into presentation currency as follows:
 
Asset and liability items in each balance sheet of foreign operations are translated at the closing rates at the balance sheet date; equity items excluding retained earnings are translated at the spot exchange rates at the date of the transactions. Income and expense items in the statement of comprehensive income of the foreign operations are translated at average exchange rates approximating the rate on transaction dates. All resulting translation differences above are recognized in other comprehensive income.
 
The cash flows denominated in foreign currencies and cash flows of overseas subsidiaries are translated at average exchange rates approximating the rates at the dates when cash flows incurred. The impact of the foreign currency translation on the cash and cash equivalents is presented in the statement of cash flows separately.
 
On the disposal of a foreign operation (that is, a disposal of the Company and its subsidiaries’ entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, a disposal involving loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the equity holders of the company are reclassified to profit or loss.
 
In the case of a partial disposal that does not result in the Company and its subsidiaries losing control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (that is, reductions in the Company and its subsidiaries’ ownership interest in associates or jointly controlled entities that do not result in the Company and its subsidiaries losing significant influence or joint control), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange difference is reclassified to profit or loss.

2.      PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
 
(e)      Property, plant and equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment consists of dam, port facilities, buildings, electric utility plant in service, transportation facilities, others and construction-in-progress (“CIP”). Property, plant and equipment acquired or constructed are initially recognized at cost and carried at the net value of cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
 
Cost of CIP comprises construction expenditures, other expenditures necessary for the purpose of preparing the CIP for its intended use and those borrowing costs incurred before the assets ready for intended use that are eligible for capitalization. CIP is not depreciated until such time as the relevant asset is completed and ready for its intended use.
 
Subsequent costs about property, plant and equipment are included in the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and its subsidiaries and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. Other subsequent expenditures not qualifying for capitalization are charged in the current period profit or loss when they are incurred.
 
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided based on book value less estimated residual value over estimated useful life using straight-line method. For those impaired property, plant and equipment, depreciation is provided based on book value after deducting impairment provision over estimated useful life. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
 
   
Estimated useful lives
 
Dam
 
8 – 40 years
 
Port facilities
 
20 – 40 years
 
Buildings
 
6 – 45 years
 
Electric utility plant in service
 
5 – 35 years
 
Transportation facilities
 
6 – 20 years
 
Others
 
3 – 18 years
 
 
At the end of each year, the Company and its subsidiaries review the estimated useful life, residual value and the depreciation method of the property, plant and equipment for adjustment when necessary.
 
Property, plant and equipment is derecognized when they are disposed of, or expected that cannot bring economic benefit through use or disposal. The amount of disposal income arising from sale, transfer, disposal or write-off of the property, plant and equipment less book value and related tax expenses is recorded in ‘operating expenses – others’ in the statement of comprehensive income.
 
The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is written down immediately to its recoverable amount when its carrying amount is greater than its recoverable amount (Note 2(i)).
 
(f)      Power generation licence
 
The Company and its subsidiaries acquired the power generation licence as part of the business combination with Tuas Power Ltd. (“Tuas Power”). The power generation licence is initially recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. It is of indefinite useful life and is not amortized. It is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment loss. Useful life of the power generation licence is reviewed by the Company and its subsidiaries each financial period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support the indefinite useful life assessment.
 
(g)      Mining rights
 
Mining rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses and are amortised based on the units of production method utilising only recoverable coal reserves as the depletion base.

2.      PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
 
(h)      Goodwill
 
Goodwill arising from the acquisitions of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures represents the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the share of the Company and its subsidiaries on net fair value of the net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition.
 
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units (“CGUs”), or groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
 
Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment is recognised immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.
 
(i)      Impairment of non-financial assets
 
Separately presented goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least annually regardless of whether there are indications of impairment. Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with definite useful lives, land use rights under finance leases and long-term equity investments not accounted for as financial assets are tested for impairment when there is any impairment indication on balance sheet date. If impairment test result shows that the recoverable amount of asset is less than its book value, that difference is recognized as impairment provision. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less cost to sell of the asset and value in use. Asset impairment is calculated and recognized on individual asset basis. If it is difficult to estimate recoverable amount for the individual assets, the recoverable amount is determined based on the recoverable amount of the CGU to which asset belongs. CGU is the smallest group of assets that independently generates cash flows.
 
Except for goodwill, all impaired non-financial assets are subject to review for possible reversal of impairment at each reporting date.
 
(j)      Financial assets
 
Financial assets are classified as the following categories at initial recognition: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale. The classification depends on the intention and ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to hold the financial assets.
 
(i)  Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
 
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as non-current.
 
(ii)  Loans and receivables
 
Loans and receivables refer to the non-derivative financial assets for which there is no quotation in the active market with fixed or determinable amount. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date which these are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are primarily included in as ‘accounts receivable’, ‘other receivables and assets’, ‘other non-current assets’ and ‘bank balances and cash’ in the balance sheets.
 
(iii)  Available-for-sale financial assets
 
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in current assets when management intends to dispose of the available-for-sale financial assets within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

(j)      Financial assets (cont’d)
 
(iv)  Recognition and measurement
 
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized at fair value initially on trade-date – the date on which the Company and its subsidiaries commit to purchase or sell the asset. Transaction costs relating to financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are directly expensed in the profit or loss as incurred. Transaction costs for other financial assets are included in the carrying amount of the asset at initial recognition. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and all risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial assets have been transferred to the transferee.
 
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale are subsequently measured at fair value. When an active market exists for a financial instrument, fair value is determined based on quoted prices in the active market. When no active market exists, fair value is determined by using valuation techniques. Valuation techniques includes making reference to the prices used by knowledgeable and willing parties in a recent transaction, the current fair value of other financial assets that are same in substance, discounted cash flow method and option pricing model, etc.. When applying valuation techniques, the Company and its subsidiaries use market parameters to the fullest extent possible and use specific parameters of the Company and its subsidiaries as little as possible. Loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
 
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recorded in ‘gain / (loss) on fair value changes’.
 
Except for impairment loss and translation differences on monetary financial assets, changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. When these financial assets are derecognized, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in equity are included in the statement of comprehensive income as ‘other investment income’. Dividends on available-for-sale financial assets are recorded in ‘other investment income’ when the right of the Company and its subsidiaries to receive payments is established.
 
(v)  Impairment of financial assets
 
Except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the Company and its subsidiaries perform assessment on the book value of financial assets on balance sheet date. Provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence showing that a financial asset is impaired.
 
In the case of equity investments classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost is evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in the profit or loss on equity instruments are not reversed through the profit or loss.
 
When financial assets carried at amortized cost are impaired, the carrying amount of the financial assets is reduced to the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The impaired amount is recognized as assets impairment loss in the current period. If there is objective evidence that the value of the financial assets is recovered as a result of objective changes in circumstances occurring after the impairment loss was originally recognized, the originally recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. For the impairment test of receivables, please refer to Note 2(k).

(j)      Financial assets (cont’d)
 
(vi)  Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
 
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Gain or loss arising from subsequent change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments is recognized in profit or loss except for those effective portion of gain or loss on the derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges which is recognized directly in other comprehensive income. Cash flow hedge represents a hedge against the exposure to variability in cash flows, which such cash flow is originated from a particular risk associated with highly probable forecast transactions and variable rate borrowings and could affect the statement of comprehensive income.
 
The hedged items of cash flow hedge are the designated items with respect to the risks associated with future cash flow change of the Company and its subsidiaries. Hedging instruments are designated derivative for cash flow hedge whose cash flows are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of a hedged item.
 
The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedge item is more than 12 months.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries document their assessments, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items. The Company and its subsidiaries apply ratio analysis method to evaluate the ongoing effectiveness of the cash flow hedge.
 
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘gain / (loss) on fair value changes’.
 
Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to the profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘interest expense’. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of exchange forward hedging foreign currency denominated payables is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘exchange gain and bank charges, net’. However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset. In case the Company and its subsidiaries expect all or a portion of net loss previously recognized directly in other comprehensive income will not be recovered in future financial periods, the irrecoverable portion will be reclassified into profit or loss.
 
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the Company and its subsidiaries will discontinue hedge accounting. Any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in the profit or loss.  When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the statement of comprehensive income within ‘gain / (loss) on fair value changes’.
 
(k)      Loans and receivables
 
Loans and receivables primarily including accounts receivable, notes receivable, other receivables, loan to subsidiaries and other non-current assets, etc. are recognized initially at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost less provision for doubtful debts using the effective interest method.
 
When there is objective evidence that the Company and its subsidiaries will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables, impairment test is performed on individual account and related provision for doubtful accounts is made based on the shortfall between carrying amounts and respective present value of estimated future cash flows. The carrying amounts of the receivables are reduced through the use of allowance accounts, and the amount of the provision is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘operating expenses – others’. When a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for the receivable. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against ‘operating expenses – others’ in the statement of comprehensive income.

(l)      Inventories
 
Inventories include fuel for power generation, materials for repairs and maintenance and spare parts, etc. and are stated at lower of cost and net realizable values.
 
Inventories are initially recorded at cost and are charged to fuel costs or repairs and maintenance, respectively when used, or capitalized to property, plant and equipment when installed, as appropriate, using weighted average cost basis. Cost of inventories includes costs of purchase and transportation costs.
 
When the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of the inventory, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the inventory.
 
Provision for inventory obsolescence is determined by the excess of cost over net realizable value. Net realizable values are determined based on the estimated selling price less estimated conversion costs during power generation, selling expenses and related taxes in the ordinary course of business.
 
(m)      Related parties
 
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or jointly control of the same third party; one party is controlled or jointly controlled by a third party and the other party is a associate or a joint venture of the same third party.
 
(n)      Cash and cash equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents listed in the statement of cash flows represents cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term (3 months or less), highly-liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
 
(o)      Borrowings
 
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value less transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company and its subsidiaries have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress promulgated the “Corporate Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China” which became effective from January 1, 2008. Domestic entities of the Company and its subsidiaries which originally enjoyed preferential tax treatments will transit to 25% gradually in five years from January 1, 2008 onwards. Domestic subsidiaries with original applicable tax rate of 33% apply tax rate of 25% from January 1, 2008 onwards. Pursuant to Guo Fa [2007] 39 document, starting from January 1, 2008, entities which originally enjoyed two-year tax exemption and three-year 50% reduction tax treatments, continue to follow the original tax laws, administrative regulations and relevant documents until respective expiration dates. However, those not being entitled to preferential tax treatment as a result of tax losses, the preferential period started from 2008 onwards.
 
The income tax rate applicable to Singapore subsidiaries is 17% (2010: 17%).

The original regulation specifying locations for power plants and branches of the Company to make enterprise income tax payments was abolished. The income tax of subsidiaries remains to be calculated individually based on their individual operating results.

For deductible tax losses or tax credit that can be brought forward in accordance with tax law requirements for deduction of taxable income in subsequent years, it is considered as temporary differences and related deferred income tax assets are recognized.  No deferred income tax liability is recognized for temporary difference arising from initial recognition of goodwill. For those temporary differences arising from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a non-business combination transaction that affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss) at the time of the transaction, no deferred income tax asset and liability is recognized.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries recognize deferred income tax assets to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available to offset the deductible temporary difference, deductible tax loss and tax credit.
 
On the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or liability is settled.
 
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset when meeting all the conditions below:
 
(1) The Company and its subsidiaries have the legal enforceable right to offset current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities;
 
(2) Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are related to the income tax levied by the same tax authority of the Company and its subsidiaries.

(aa)
Standards and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective but relevant to the Company and its subsidiaries
 
The following standards and amendments to existing standards have been published that are mandatory for the accounting periods of the Company and its subsidiaries beginning on or after January 1, 2012 or later, but the Company and its subsidiaries have not early adopted:
 
 
Amendments to IFRS 7, ‘Financial instruments: disclosures’. The amendments were as a result of amendments on disclosure requirements of transfers of financial assets released in October 2010 (effective for financial year beginning July 1, 2011). The amendments clarified and strengthened the disclosure requirements of transfers of financial assets which help users of financial statements evaluating related risk exposures and the effect of those risks on the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company and its subsidiaries will adopt the amendments from January 1, 2012. The Company and its subsidiaries are in the process of assessing of the impact of the amendments.
 
 
IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’ addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. IFRS 9 was issued in November 2009. It replaces the parts of IAS 39 that relate to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 requires financial assets to be classified into two measurement categories: those measured as at fair value and those measured at amortised cost. The determination is made at initial recognition. The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. For financial liabilities, the standard retains most of the IAS 39 requirements. The main change is that, in cases where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than current period profit or loss, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. The Company and its subsidiaries are yet to assess full impact of IFRS 9 and intends to adopt IFRS 9 upon its effective date, which is for the accounting period beginning on or after January 1, 2015.
 
 
IFRS 10, ‘Consolidated financial statements’ builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. The Company and its subsidiaries are yet to assess full impact of IFRS 10 and intends to adopt IFRS 10 no later than the accounting period beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

(aa)
Standards and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective but relevant to the Company and its subsidiaries (contd)
 
 
IFRS 11, “Joint arrangements” is a more realistic reflection of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement rather than its legal form. There are two types of joint arrangement: joint operations and joint ventures. Joint operations arise where a joint operator has rights to the assets and obligations relating to the arrangement and hence accounts for its interest in assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Joint ventures arise where the joint operator has rights to the net assets of the arrangement and hence equity accounts for its interest. Proportionate consolidation of the joint ventures is no longer allowed. The Company and its subsidiaries are yet to assess the full impact of IFRS 11 and intends to adopt IFRS 11 no later than the accounting period beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
 
 
IFRS 12 ‘Disclosures of interests in other entities’ includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and other off-balance sheet vehicles. The Company and its subsidiaries are yet to assess full impact of IFRS 12 and intends to adopt IFRS 12 no later than the accounting period beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
 
 
IFRS 13 ‘Fair value measurement’ aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs. The requirements do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within IFRSs. The Company and its subsidiaries are yet to assess full impact of IFRS 13 and intends to adopt IFRS 13 no later than the accounting period beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

3.      FINANCIAL, CAPITAL AND INSURANCE RISKS MANAGEMENT
 
 
(a)
Financial risk management
 
Risk management, including the management on the financial risks, is carried out under the instructions of the Strategic Committee of Board of Directors and the Risk Management Team. The Company works out general principles for overall management as well as management policies covering specific areas. In considering the importance of risks, the Company identifies and evaluates risks at head office and individual power plant level, and requires analysis and proper communication for the information collected periodically.
 
SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries are subject to financial risks that are different from the entities operating within the PRC. They have a series of controls in place to maintain the cost of risks occurring and the cost of managing the risks at an acceptable level. Management continually monitors the risk management process to ensure that an appropriate balance between risk and control is achieved. SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries have their written policies and financial authorization limits in place they are reviewed periodically. These financial authorization limits seek to mitigate and eliminate operational risks by setting approval thresholds required for entering into contractual obligations and investments.
 
(i)  Market risk
 
(1)  Foreign exchange risk
 
Foreign exchange risk of the entities operating within the PRC primarily arises from loans denominated in foreign currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries. SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries are exposed to foreign exchange risk on accounts payable and other payables that are denominated primarily in US$, a currency other than Singapore dollar (“S$”), their functional currency. Please refer to Notes 22 and 25 for details. The Company and its subsidiaries manage exchange risk through closely monitoring interest and exchange market.
 
As of December 31, 2011, if RMB had weakened / strengthened by 5% (2010 and 2009: 5%) against US$ and 3% (2010 and 2009: 3%) against EUR (“€”) with all other variables constant, exchange gain of the Company and its subsidiaries would have been RMB 243 million (2010 and 2009: RMB 312 million and RMB 357 million) and RMB 21 million (2010 and 2009: RMB 25 million and RMB 31 million) lower / higher, respectively. The ranges of such sensitivity disclosed above were based on the observation on the historical trend of related exchange rates during the previous year under analysis.
 
As of December 31, 2011, if S$ had weakened / strengthened by 10% (2010 and 2009: 10%) against US$ with all other variables constant, exchange gain of the Company and its subsidiaries would have been RMB 44 million (2010 and 2009: RMB 121 million and RMB 93 million) lower / higher, respectively. The ranges of such sensitivity disclosed above were based on the management’s experience and forecast.
 
SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries also exposed to foreign exchange risk on fuel purchases that are denominated primarily in US$. They substantially hedge their estimated foreign currency exposure in respect of forecast fuel purchases over the following three months. They primarily use foreign currency contracts to hedge its foreign currency risk. As of the balance sheet date, they entered into foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of RMB 191.04 million (2010: RMB 67.47 million) to hedge its financial liabilities exposure in U.S. Dollar.
 
(2)  Price risk
 
The available-for-sale financial assets and trading securities of the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to equity security price risk.
 
Detailed information relating to the available-for-sale financial assets are disclosed in Note 10. Being a strategic investment in nature, the Company has a supervisor in the supervisory committee of the investee and exercises influence in safeguarding the interest. The Company also closely monitors the pricing trends in the open market in determining its long-term strategic stakeholding decisions.

Financial risk management (cont’d)
 
(i)  Market risk (cont’d)
 
(2)  Price risk (cont’d)
 
As of December 31, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to equity security price risk arising from the investments classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. These securities are listed in Hong Kong. To manage the risk, the Company and its subsidiaries closely monitors the market prices of these securities. If prices of the trading securities had increased / decreased by 10% with all other variables constant, the gain / (loss) on fair value changes would have been higher / lower by RMB 9.62 million respectively.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries exposed to fuel price risk on fuel purchases. In particular, SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries use fuel oil swap to hedge against such a risk and designate them as cash flow hedges. Please refer to Note 13 for details.
 
 (3)  Cash flow interest rate risk
 
The interest rate risk of the Company and its subsidiaries primarily arises from long-term loans. Loans borrowed at variable rates expose the Company and its subsidiaries to cash flow interest rate risk. The exposures of these risks are disclosed in Note 22 to the financial statements. The Company and its subsidiaries have entered into interest rate swap agreements with banks to hedge against a portion of cash flow interest rate risk.
 
As of December 31, 2011, if interest rates on RMB-denominated borrowings had been 50 basis points (2010 and 2009: 50 basis points) higher / lower with all other variables held constant, interest expense for the year would have been RMB 500 million (2010 and 2009: RMB 334 million and RMB 339 million) higher / lower. If interest rates on US$-denominated borrowings had been 50 basis points (2010 and 2009: 50 basis points) higher / lower with all other variables held constant, interest expense for the year would have been RMB 11 million (2010 and 2009: RMB 14 million and RMB 14 million) higher / lower. If interest rates on S$-denominated borrowings had been 100 basis points (2010 and 2009: 100 basis points) higher / lower with all other variables held constant, interest expense for the year would have been RMB 73 million (2010 and 2009: RMB 89 million and RMB 150 million) higher / lower. The ranges of such sensitivity disclosed above were based on the observation on the historical trend of related interest rates during the previous year under analysis.
 
The Company has entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement to hedge against cash flow interest rate risk of a loan. According to the interest rate swap agreement, the Company agrees with the counterparty to settle the difference between fixed contract rates and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional amounts quarterly until 2019. Tuas Power Generation Pte. Ltd. (“TPG”) also entered into a number of floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements to hedge against cash flow interest rate risk of a loan. According to these interest rate swap agreements, TPG agrees with the counterparty to settle the difference between fixed contract rates and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional amount semi-annually until 2020. Please refer to Note 13 for details.
 
(ii)  Credit risk
 
Credit risk arises from bank deposits, credit exposures to accounts receivable, other receivables and other non-current assets. The maximum exposures of bank deposits, accounts and other receivables are disclosed in Notes 33, 18, 17 and 15 to the financial statements, respectively.
 
Bank deposits are placed with reputable banks and financial institutions, including which a significant portion is deposited with a non-bank financial institution which is a related party of the Company. The Company has a director on the Board of this non-bank financial institution and exercises influence. Corresponding maximum exposures of these bank deposits are disclosed in Note 34(a)(i) to the financial statements.
 
Most of the power plants of the Company and its subsidiaries operating within the PRC sell electricity generated to their sole customers, the power grid companies of their respective provinces or regions where the power plants operate. These power plants communicate with their individual grid companies periodically and believe that adequate provision for doubtful accounts have been made in the financial statements.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company and its subsidiaries is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1 comprise equity investments in Beijing Jingneng and Yangtze Power classified as trading securities and available for sale, respectively.

(b)
Fair value estimation (cont’d)
 
(i)  Fair value measurements (cont’d)
 
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
 
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
 
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
 
 
·
The forward exchange contracts and fuel oil swaps are both valued using quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
 
 
·
The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves.
 
Instruments included in level 2 comprise forward exchange contracts, fuel oil swaps and interest rate swaps.
 
There were no significant transfers of financial assets between level 1 and level 2 fair value hierarchy classifications in 2011.
 
(ii)  Fair value disclosures
 
The carrying value less provision for doubtful accounts of accounts receivable, other receivables and assets, accounts payable and other liabilities, short-term bonds and short-term loans are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Company and its subsidiaries for similar financial instruments.
 
The estimated fair value of long-term loans and long-term bonds (both including current maturities) was approximately RMB 93.67 billion and RMB 18.95 billion as of December 31, 2011 (2010: RMB 78.81 billion and RMB 14.73 billion), respectively. The aggregate book value of these liabilities was approximately RMB 93.99 billion and RMB 18.85 billion as of December 31, 2011 (2010: RMB 78.97 billion and RMB 13.83 billion), respectively.
 
 
(c)
Capital risk management
 
The objectives of the Company and its subsidiaries when managing capital are to safeguard the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries in continuing as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries monitor capital by using debt ratio analysis. This ratio is calculated as total liabilities (sum of current liabilities and non-current liabilities) divided by total assets as shown in the consolidated balance sheet. During 2011, the strategy of the Company and its subsidiaries remained unchanged from 2010. The debt ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 was 76.86% (2010: 72.61%).
 
 
(d
Insuranace risk management
 
The Company and its subsidiaries issue contracts that transfer significant insurance risk.
 
The risk relates to the financial guarantees provided to banks by the Company on the borrowings of a subsidiary. The risk under this financial guarantee contract is the possibility that the insured event (default of a specified debtor) occurs and the uncertainty of the amount of the resulting claims. By the nature of a financial guarantee contract, this risk is predictable.
 
Experience shows credit risks from the specified debtors are relatively remote. The Company maintains a close watch on the financial position and liquidity of the subsidiary for which financial guarantee has been granted in order to mitigate such risks (Note 2(x) (ii)). The Company takes all reasonable steps to ensure that they have appropriate information regarding any claim exposures.

4.      CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
 
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
 
 
(a)
Accounting estimates on impairment of goodwill and power generation licence
 
The Company and its subsidiaries perform test annually whether goodwill and power generation licence have suffered any impairment in accordance with the accounting policies stated in Notes 2(h) and 2(f), respectively. The recoverable amounts of CGU or CGUs have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates (Notes 14 and 12). It is reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next financial period that are different from assumptions could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of goodwill and power generation licence.
 
For goodwill allocated to CGUs in the PRC, changes of assumptions in tariff and fuel price could have affected the results of goodwill impairment assessment. As of December 31, 2011, if tariff had decreased by 1% or 5% from management’s estimates with other variables constant with the expectations, the Company and its subsidiaries would have to further recognize impairment against goodwill by approximately RMB 550 million and RMB 1,452 million, respectively. If fuel price had increased by 1% or 5% from the management’s estimates with other variables constant with the expectations, the Company and its subsidiaries would have to further recognize impairment against goodwill by approximately RMB 406 million and RMB 1,452 million, respectively.
 
For sensitivity analysis of goodwill and power generation licence of Tuas Power, please refer to Note 12.
 
 
(b)
Useful life of power generation licence
 
As of year end, management of the Company and its subsidiaries considered the estimated useful life for its power generation licence as indefinite. This estimate is based on the expected renewal of power generation licence without significant restriction and cost, together with the consideration on related future cash flows generated and the expectation of management in continuous operations. Based on existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next financial period that are different from assumptions could require a change on carrying amount of power generation licence.
 
 
(c)
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
 
Management of the Company decided the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and respective depreciation. The accounting estimate is based on the expected wears and tears incurred during power generation. Wears and tears can be significantly different following renovation each time. When the useful lives differ from the original estimated useful lives, management will adjust the estimated useful lives accordingly. It is possible that the estimates made based on existing experience are different to the actual outcomes within the next financial period and could cause a material adjustment to the depreciation and carrying amount of property, plant and equipment.
 
 
(d)
Estimated impairment of property, plant and equipment
 
The Company and its subsidiaries test whether property, plant and equipment suffered any impairment whenever any impairment indication exists. In accordance with Note 2(i), an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. It is reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next financial period that are different from assumptions could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment.
 
Changes of assumptions in tariff and fuel price will affect the result of property, plant and equipment impairment assessment. As of December 31, 2011, if tariff had decreased by 1% or 5% from management’s estimates with other variables constant with the expectations, the Company and its subsidiaries would have to further recognize impairment against property, plant and equipment by approximately RMB 355 million and RMB 5,994 million, respectively. If fuel price had increased by 1% or 5% from the management’s estimates with other variables constant with the expectations, the Company and its subsidiaries would have to further recognize impairment against property, plant and equipment by approximately RMB 139 million and RMB 3,145 million, respectively.

4.      CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (CONT’D)
 
 
(e)
Approval of construction of new power plants
 
The receiving of the ultimate approvals from National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”) on certain power plant construction projects of the Company and its subsidiaries is a critical estimate and judgment of the directors. Such estimates and judgments are based on initial approval documents received as well as their understanding of the projects. Based on historical experience, the directors believe that the Company and its subsidiaries will receive final approvals from NDRC on the related power plant projects. Deviation from the estimate and judgment could result in significant adjustment to the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment.

Directors and certain senior management of the Company perform the function as chief operating decision makers (collectively referred to as the “senior management”). The senior management reviews the internal reporting of the Company and its subsidiaries in order to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company has determined the operating segments based on these reports. The operating segments of the Company were grouped into PRC power segment, Singapore segment and all other segments (mainly including port and transportation operations).
 
Senior management assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of profit before income tax expense under China Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises (“PRC GAAP”) in related periods excluding dividend income received from available-for-sale financial assets and operating results of those centrally managed and resource allocation functions in headquarters. Other information provided, except as noted below, to the senior management of the Company is measured under PRC GAAP.
 
Segment assets exclude prepaid income tax, deferred income tax assets, available-for-sale financial assets and assets related to those centrally managed and resource allocation functions in headquarters that are not attributable to any operating segment (“corporate assets”). Segment liabilities exclude current income tax liabilities, deferred income tax liabilities and liabilities related to those centrally managed and resource allocation functions in headquarters that are not attributable to any operating segment (“corporate liabilities”). These are part of the reconciliation to total balance sheet assets and liabilities.

5.      REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONT’D)
 
*Under PRC GAAP, the business combination under common control is accounted for under merger accounting method; the operating results for all periods presented are retrospectively restated by combining the financial information of the businesses acquired as if they had been combined from the date when the combing entities first came under the control of the controlling party. Therefore, the financial information of business acquired before the acquisition date is shown as the difference between PRC GAAP and IFRS.

7.       PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONT’D)
 
Interest expense of approximately RMB 874 million (2010 and 2009: RMB 815 million and RMB 1,296 million) arising on borrowings for the construction of property, plant and equipment were capitalized during the year and are included in ‘Additions’ in property, plant and equipment. A capitalization rate of approximately 5.86% (2010 and 2009: 5.08% and 5.14%) per annum was used.
 
In late 2011, upon the initiation of a preliminary disposal plan, the Company and its subsidiaries performed impairment re-assessment and made provision for impairment on property, plant and equipment of Huaneng Huaiyin Power Generation Co. Ltd. (“Huaiyin Power Company”) amounting to RMB 50.96 million. The recoverable amounts are determined based on fair value less cost to sell.  The fair value is determined by reference to the market price.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries also recorded impairment loss of property, plant and equipment of Fujian Xinhuanyuan Industrial Limited Company (“Xinhuanyuan”) amounted to RMB 20.31 million upon its operation restructuring. Recoverable amount was determined based on value in use of the related CGU assessed by an independent valuer. A discount rate of 7.78% was adopted in the model. Xinhuanyuan was principally engaged in production and sales of mineral water and was included in “all other segments”.
 
In 2010, due to continuous increase of coal price and lower profitability, Huaneng Zhuozhou Liyuan Cogeneration Limited Liability Company (“Zhuozhou Cogeneration”) has recorded impairment losses of certain property, plant and equipment amounted to RMB 8.48 million. The recoverable amounts are determined based on value in use of the related CGU assessed by an independent valuer.
 
In 2009, in line with the State policy on closing down small-scale generators and constructing and operating large-scale generators as a result of efficiency and environmental protection concerns, Huaneng Xindian Power Plant and Huaneng Weihai Power Limited Liability Company (“Weihai Power Company”) have shuted down certain generators. Impairment losses of related property, plant and equipment amounted to RMB 550 million and RMB 80 million have been recorded based on fair value less costs to sell assessed by an independent valuer. The fair values are determined by reference to the market price.
 
As of December 31, 2011, certain property, plant and equipment was secured to a bank as collateral against a long-term loan of RMB 169 million (2010: nil) (Note 22).

Impairment test of power generation licence
 
Power generation licence belongs to Tuas Power. The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculation. Management prepared the impairment model based on budget approved by the Board and various factors, such as inflation, power demand and other factors as well as the terminal value.
 
Key assumptions used for value-in-use calculation:
 
Management has assessed that, amongst all assumptions used in the value-in-use calculations, the most sensitive key assumption is the discount rate which was arrived at based on weighted average cost of capital. The discount rate applied in determining the recoverable amounts of the CGU was 7.42% (2010: 6.85%). An absolute change in the discount rate of 0.5% (2010: 0.5%) would result in approximately RMB 1,689 million (2010: RMB 1,520 million) change in the recoverable amount of the CGU.
 
Other key assumptions include projection of its business performance based on estimation of future electricity tariffs, volume of electricity sold, fuel prices and other operating expenses, which are largely with reference on advices from the financial advisor engaged and an external study conducted by industry specialist to project the market demand and supply situation, as well as forward trend of electricity prices. On average, the growth and inflation rates of 3.8% and 2.1% (2010: 2.5% and 2.7%) were used in consideration of future expansion plans and new development projects as part of the long-term strategy. The growth rate applied did not exceed the long-term average growth rate of the Singapore market.
 
Based on the assessments, no impairment was provided for power generation licence.

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, no material ineffective portion was recognized in the profit or loss arising from cash flow hedges.
 
The Company uses an interest rate swap contract to hedge its interest rate risk against one of its variable-rate loans. The notional principal amount of the outstanding interest rate swap contract at December 31, 2011 was US$ 368 million (RMB equivalents of RMB 2,318.73 million) (2010: US$ 400 million (RMB equivalents of RMB 2,649.08 million)), through this arrangement, the Company pays an annual fixed interest of 4.40% while the original annual floating interest expense (6-month LIBOR+1%) attached in the loan is offset by the receivable leg of the interest rate swap. Such a swap is settled on a quarterly basis from September 2009 to September 2019.
 
TPG uses exchange forward contracts to hedge its foreign exchange risk arising from highly probable forecast purchase transactions. It also uses fuel oil swap contracts to hedge its fuel price risk arising from highly probable forecast purchases of fuel purchases.
 
TPG also uses various interest rate swap contracts to hedge floating semi-annual interest payments on borrowings with maturity dates up to 2020. The notional principal amount of these outstanding interest rate swap contracts at December 31, 2011 was S$ 1,564 million (RMB equivalents of RMB 7,613.76 million) (2010: S$ 1,346 million (RMB equivalents of RMB 6,888.62 million)). Through these arrangements, TPG swaps original floating interest (6-month SOR) to annual fixed interest determined by individual swap contracts. Such swap contracts are settled semi-annually from September 2011 to March 2020. As of December 31, 2011, these interest rate swap contracts are carried on the balance sheet as financial liability of RMB 365.355 million (2010: financial assets of RMB 75.894 million).

14.       GOODWILL (CONT’D)
 
Impairment tests for goodwill (cont’d)
 
The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations. For domestic CGUs, these calculations use cash flow projections based on management’s financial budgets covering periods of no more five years. The Company expects cash flows beyond such periods will be similar to that of the respective final forecast years on existing production capacity. In connection to the goodwill attached to Tuas Power, management has based their assessment of recoverable amount on value-in-use calculations. Management prepared the impairment model based on budget approved by the Board and various factors, such as inflation, power demand and other factors as well as the terminal value. On average, the growth and inflation rates of 3.8% and 2.1%, were used in consideration of future expansion plans and new development projects as part of the long-term strategy. The growth rate applied did not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the Singapore market.
 
Discount rates used for value-in-use calculations:
 
Yueyang Power Company
 
8.27%
Pingliang Power Company
 
8.27%
Tuas Power
 
7.42%
Beijing Cogeneration
 
8.27%
Yangliuqing Power Company
 
8.27%
Zhanhua Cogeneration
 
8.27%
Qingdao Port
 
9.15%
Diandong Energy
 
8.27%
Luoyuanwan Harbor
 
9.15%
Diandong Yuwang
 
8.27%
 
 
Key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations:
 
Key assumptions applied in the impairment tests include the expected tariff rates, demands of electricity in specific regions where these power plants are located, fuel cost and the expected throughput and price of the related port. Management determined these key assumptions based on past performance and its expectations on market development. The discount rates used reflect specific risks relating to individual CGUs. Management believes that any reasonably possible change in any of these key assumptions on which recoverable amounts of individual CGUs are based may cause carrying amounts of individual CGUs to exceed their recoverable amounts. Please refer to Notes 4 and 12 for details of respective sensitivity analysis on domestic and oversea CGU impairment testing.
 
In 2011, based on the assessments, except for the goodwill arising from acquisition of Zhanhua Cogeneration, no goodwill was impaired. Due to the continuous lower profitability, management expects ongoing loss of Zhanhua Cogeneration will be incurred in the future, full impairment of related goodwill was provided based on the result of impairment assessment.
 
In 2010, based on the assessments, except for the goodwill arising from acquisition of Yushe Power Company, no goodwill was impaired. Due to the continuous increase in coal price and lower profitability, full impairment of related goodwill was provided based on the result of impairment test.
 
In 2009, no goodwill was impaired.

20.       SURPLUS RESERVES
 
According to the Company Law of the PRC, the Company’s articles of association and board resolutions, the Company appropriates 10% of each year’s net profit under PRC GAAP to the statutory surplus reserve. The Company has the option to cease provision for such reserve when it reaches 50% of the registered share capital. Upon the approval from relevant authorities, this reserve can be used to make up any losses incurred or to increase share capital. Except for offsetting against losses, this reserve cannot fall below 25% of the share capital after being used to increase share capital. According to the Company’s articles of association and board resolutions on March 20, 2012, the Company intends to appropriate 10% (2010: 10%) of this year’s net profit attributable the Company’s shareholders under PRC GAAP to the statutory surplus reserve, amounting to RMB 127 million (2010: RMB 354 million), in which RMB 72 million (2010: nil), being the excess of the consequent surplus reserve balance over 50% of the registered share capital, is subject to the approval of the shareholders at the annual general meeting. Therefore, only RMB 55 million of the aforementioned appropriation of statutory surplus reserve is reflected in these consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
On June 22, 2010, upon the approval from the annual general meeting of the shareholders, the Company appropriated 10% of profit attributable to equity holders of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2009 determined under the PRC GAAP to the statutory surplus reserve amounting to RMB 508 million. Such appropriation was recorded in 2010 upon approval.
 
Appropriation of discretionary surplus reserve is proposed by the Board of Directors, and approved by the general meeting of shareholders. This reserve can be used to make up any losses incurred in prior years or to increase the share capital after obtaining relevant approvals. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, no provision was made to the discretionary surplus reserve.
 
According to the articles of association, distributable profit of the Company is derived based on the lower of amounts determined in accordance with (a) PRC GAAP and (b) IFRS. The amount of distributable profit resulting from the current year operation for the year ended December 31, 2011 was approximately RMB 1.13 billion (2010: RMB 2.99 billion). The cumulative balance of distributable profit as of December 31, 2011 was approximately RMB 12.372 billion (2010: RMB 13.979 billion).
