BUSINESS REVIEW FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR

During the first half of 2014, in face of the structural changes in the State’s economy, the stagnant growth of total electricity consumption nationwide compared to the same period of last year, the Company seized the favourable situation of the decline in coal market prices. At the same time to direct power plants to grasp power generation and control coal prices, the Company exercised strict control in expenditure and strengthened fuel management internally. The Company has accomplished well comparatively each of the business plans in the first half of 2014.

1.
Power Generation

In the first half of this year, the power plants of the Company in operation within China achieved a total power generation of 151.739 billion kWh, representing an increase of 1.51% from the same period of last year, as well as an electricity sold of 143.554 billion kWh, an increase of 1.62% from the same period of last year, and with 2,374 utilization hours, representing a decrease of 24 hours compared to the same period of previous year. The low speed growth in the Company’s power generation was mainly attributable to the following factors: (1) the nationwide power consumption was experiencing low or medium growth due to the slowdown of the nation’s economic growth; (2) the commencement of operations of multiple west-to-east UHV transmission lines severely squeezed the generation potential of the thermal power generators in the coastal region in east China, which thermal power generators accounted for a relatively high proportion in the Company’s total power generation capacities; and (3) the commencement of operations of many hydropower units in Yunnan whose power generations were also transmittable to Guangdong load center, as well as the commencement of operations of large nuclear power generators in Liaoning and Fujian, had a severe impact on the power generations by thermal power units in Yunnan, Guangdong, Liaoning and Fujian. Against this unfavorable background, the Company enhanced marketing efforts, seized market opportunities, strengthened the monitoring of power usage during holidays and critical periods, and made efforts to improve the power generation growth.

2.
Cost Control

Coal supply still outstripped demand in the first half of 2014, leading to a sharp fall of the prices of both domestic and imported coal. With a close watch on changes in the market, the Company seized the opportunity from the loose coal market. Through shifting and adjusting business modes and structures, the Company strengthened the strategic cooperation with large coal companies, increased the purchase of price-competitive imported coal and enhanced the automatization and digitalization of internal fuel management to have full control of fuel costs.

3.
Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection

The Company attaches great importance to energy conservation and environmental protection and has equipped all of its coal-fired generating units with desulphurization devices. For the first half of this year, the Company’s coal-fired generating units with a total power generation capacity of 55,059 MW (representing approximately 90% of the controlled installed coal fired generation capacity) had completed the denitrification process or were newly equipped with denitrification devices.

Since the new emission standards promulgated by PRC Government took effect on 1 July 2014, emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide from the Company’s generating units were basically in compliance with the requirements of these standards, whereas the dust removal devices on certain generating units need to be upgraded.

4.
Project Development and Construction

For the first half of 2014, the Company obtained approval for the Liaoning Huaneng Yingkou Xianrendao thermal power project (100 MW), the Shanxi Huaneng Dongshan Gas Turbine Project (859 MW), the Jiangsu Huaneng Liuhe Wind Farm Project (49.5 MW) and the Huaneng Hunan Guidong Wind Farm Project (36 MW).

In addition, Tembusu Phase II Project A (32.5 MW) of Tuas Power Ltd. in Singapore (which is wholly owned by the Company) was put into operation.  During the first half of 2014, the aggregate power generation of Tuas Power accounted for a market share of approximately 21.6%, representing an increase of 0.7 percentage point from the same period of last year. At the same time, some generating units were upgraded, and the installed capacity from power plants which we have minor interests has changed. As of 30 June 2014, the Company had a controlled installed capacity of 66,888 MW, of which 9.34% came from clean energy sources (hydropower, wind power and gas turbine).

PROSPECTS FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2014

For the first half of 2014, the Chinese government intensified efforts to support the real economy and launched a series of targeted “minimal stimulus” policies. Notwithstanding the seemingly stabilizing economic growth, uncertainty still exists in the world economy recovery process and the national economy of China is still under great pressure of going downward. It is expected that, for the second half of the year, the government will continue to introduce policies aiming at steady growth, carry out anticipatory adjustments and fine-tuning, and combine a ranged approach with a targeted approach in adjustment so as to keep the economy running within a reasonable range.

Regarding the electricity market, despite the steadily growing economy under the influence of the State’s “minimal stimulus” policies, the nationwide power consumption will continue to grow at low or medium speed due to the adjustment of the State’s industrial structures, the efforts in air pollution prevention, energy saving and environmental protection, etc. Meanwhile, The coming summer and winter peaks in the third and fourth quarters of the second half of the year will certainly drive up the power consumption nationwide; however, given the weather conditions and rainfalls in different regions and the high power consumption base amount derived from the heat wave last summer, the nationwide power generation is expected to maintain a low or medium growth in the second half of this year.

Regarding the coal market, it witnessed a continuous drop of coal price in the first half of the year caused by oversupply of coal. BSPI and shipping price both fell to a historically low level. Under the influence of the State’s “minimal stimulus” policies and the commencement of UHV power transmissions, the coal market is expected to remain loose and weakly balanced in the second half of the year, whereas coal price and transport capacity will remain a problem at times in some regions. The increasingly strict environmental protection policies make low-sulfur low-ash high quality coal a rare resource. Through shifting and adjusting business modes and structures, the Company strengthened the strategic cooperation with large mines both in and out of China, stabilized the purchase of domestic coal while optimized the purchase of imported coal and further enhanced the automatization and digitalization of fuel management to have full control of the fuel costs.

Regarding the capital market, the State will stay with a positive fiscal policy and a prudent currency policy and enhance the perspectiveness, pertinence and flexibility of the policies while further intensifying the efforts to make anticipatory adjustments and fine-tuning. For the second half of the year, the Company will focus on the developments on the financial market and take measures to strive for the overall fund management objective of “volume assurance, price cut and cost control”.

For the second half of this year, the Company will continue to accelerate the transformation of its development mode for further developments, further consolidate and optimize its geographical coverage, place more force on structural changes, strengthen its investment and strategy in clean energy so as to further advance its synergy in the sector as well as to accomplish the targets for the year, strengthen the management of safe production to ensure the safe, stable and economical operation of its generating units; reinforce the marketing forces in the electricity market to maintain the leading presence in terms of utilization hours; strengthen the control of costs and expenses so as to continuously optimize the management of construction projects and to focus on economic results to ensure the sustainable, stable and sound development of the Company.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (PREPARED UNDER IFRS)

I.
COMPARISON AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATING RESULTS

Summary

According to Huaneng Power International, Inc. (“the Company”)’s preliminary statistics, for the first half of 2014, the power plants of the Company in operation within China achieved a total power generation of 151.739 billion kWh on a consolidated basis, representing an increase of 1.51% from the same period of last year, as well as an aggregate sales volume of 143.554 billion kWh, representing an increase of 1.62% over the same period of last year.

The low speed growth in the Company’s power generation was mainly attributable to the following factors:

 
1.
the nationwide power consumption was experiencing low or medium growth due to the slowdown of the nation’s economic growth;

 
2.
the commencement of operations of multiple west-to-east UHV transmission lines severely squeezed the generation potential of the thermal power generators in the coastal region in east China, which thermal power generators accounted for a relatively high proportion in the Company’s total power generation capacities; and

 
3.
the commencement of operations of many hydropower units in Yunnan whose power generations were also transmittable to Guangdong load center, as well as the commencement of operations of large nuclear power generators in Liaoning and Fujian, had a severe impact on the power generations by thermal power units in Yunnan, Guangdong, Liaoning and Fujian.

During the first half of 2014, the aggregate power generation of Tuas Power Ltd., which is wholly owned by the Company, accounted for a market share of 21.6%, representing an increase of 0.7 percentage point from the same period of last year.

The Company experienced an increase of 0.85% in operating revenue for the first half of 2014 over the same period of last year. The operating expenses of the Company for the first half of 2014 decreased by 2.98% compared with the same period of last year due to reduced domestic fuel costs. The net profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company for the first half of 2014 was RMB6.808 billion, representing an increase of 21.09% over RMB5.623 billion for the same period of last year. The net profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company from domestic operations of the Company was RMB6.780 billion, representing an increase of 26.82% over the same period of last year. The increase is mainly due to reduced domestic fuel costs and increased power generation, resulting in the increase in level

of profitability and return of power generation business within China. The net profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company from its Singapore operations was RMB0.028 billion, representing a decrease of 89.89% over the same period of last year. This is mainly attributable to the intensified competition with supply over demand in Singapore’s power and natural gas market as a result of increase in power generation capacities during recent years, which has led to intense market competition, continued reduction of local power tariff and led to the significant decline of business return of the Company’s Singapore operations.

 
1.
Operating revenue, tax and levies on operations

Operating revenue mainly consists of revenue from electricity sold. For the first half of 2014, the consolidated operating revenue of the Company and its subsidiaries amounted to RMB64.606 billion, representing an increase of 0.85% from RMB64.062 billion for the same period of last year. The operating revenue from domestic operations of the Company increased by approximately RMB0.744 billion over the same period of last year. The operating revenue from Singapore operations decreased by RMB0.200 billion over the same period of last year, mainly attributable to the continued decrease of local power tariff as a result of the supply over demand in Singapore’s power and natural gas market since the second half of 2013.

Tax and levies on operations mainly consist of tax associated with value-added tax surcharges. According to relevant administrative regulations, these surcharges include City Construction Tax and Education Surcharges calculated at prescribed percentages on the amounts of the value-added tax paid. For the first half of 2014, tax and levies on operations of the Company were RMB0.489 billion, representing a decrease of RMB0.032 billion from RMB0.521 billion for the same period of last year. This is largely due to the decrease of surcharges as a result of the decreased value added tax paid during the same period.

Operating expenses

For the first half of 2014, the consolidated operating expenses of the Company and its subsidiaries were RMB49.699 billion, representing a decrease of 2.98% over the same period of last year. The operating expenses from domestic operations of the Company decreased by RMB1.668 billion, or 3.77% over the same period of last year, which is primarily attributable to the reduced domestic fuel costs, increased assets impairment and assets disposal losses. The operating expenses from operations in Singapore increased by RMB0.141 billion, or 2.03% over the same period of last year, which is mainly due to the increased fuel costs resulting from slight increase in power generation.

 
2.1
Fuel

Fuel costs represent the majority of the operating expenses of the Company and its subsidiaries, which were RMB34.570 billion for the first half of 2014, representing a decrease of 3.10% over the same period of last year. The fuel costs from domestic operations of the Company decreased by RMB1.320 billion over the same period of last year, which is largely due to the decrease in coal purchase price. The operating expenses from the Singapore operations increased by approximately RMB0.213 billion over the same period of last year, which is mainly due to slight increase in power generation during the first half of 2014.

 
2.2
Depreciation

Depreciation expenses of the Company and its subsidiaries for the first half of 2014 were RMB5.793 billion, which maintained the same level compared with the same period of last year. The depreciation expenses for domestic operations of the Company maintained the same level compared with the same period of last year, while the depreciation expenses of its Singapore operations increased by 24.03% over the same period of last year, which is mainly attributable to the commenced operation of CCP5 (combined circle plant 5) of Tuas in December 2013 and the commenced operation of Tembusu Project IIA in the first half of 2014.

VII.
RISK FACTORS

The continuing growth of domestic RMB bond market accelerates the enhancement of RMB interest rate’s function of market adjustment. The PBOC will adjust benchmark deposit and lending interest rates by using instrument of monetary policy in a more prudent way, given that there is no obvious changing trend in economic situation. The interest bearing debts of the Company are mostly denominated in RMB, and the change of lending interest rate will have direct impact on the debt costs of the Company. The Company will make reasonable financing arrangement according to market conditions, and explore new financing initiatives in an effort to control financing costs while meeting funding requirements. The interest bearing debts

 
21

 

denominated in non-RMB currencies are mostly floating interest rates borrowings. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge approximately half of the debts with floating interest rates, and the fluctuation of the interest rates on non-RMB currencies borrowing will not have material adverse impact on the Company.

The Company had certain debts denominated in U.S. dollar and Euro, and could incur exchange gain or loss from fluctuation of relevant exchange rates. The debts denominated in foreign currencies accounted for less than 3% of the total interest bearing debts of the Company, most of which are U.S. dollar debts. Taking into accounts that the exchange rate between RMB and U.S. dollar remains stable, recent fluctuations in exchange rates are not expected to have material adverse impact on the Company.

The Company has been implementing the internal control work standardization for establishing a long-term internal control system.

The Company has always been committed to creating an internal control system that not only complies with international standards and regulatory requirements but also caters for the management of the Company. Since it initiated the internal control work in 2003, the Company has explored, developed and gradually formed a complete set of systems governing the identification and handling of enterprise risks, the design and implementation of internal control rules and the supervision and assessment of internal control process. The overall objective of the Company’s internal controls is to promote the implementation of the Company’s strategies, while specific goals of internal control include to provide reasonable
 
 
29

 
 
assurance that the Company’s operation and management comply with applicable laws and regulations, its assets are safe and its financial reports and relevant information are true and complete, so as to give an overall boost to operating efficiency and actual results.

The Company has carefully conceived and rationally designed a management structure with a view to improving the authoritativeness, independence and effectiveness of internal controls. The Board is responsible for the establishment, improvement and effective implementation of the Company’s internal control system, and the Supervisory Committee supervises the establishment and implementation of the system. The Board exercises its internal control duties through the Audit Committee, who reviews the Company’s internal control work reports and internal control evaluation reports on a quarterly basis. The Company has set up an internal control leading team headed by the Chairman to decide on significant internal control matters, as well as an internal control office to report to the leading team and to carry out the decisions and opinions of the Board, the Supervisory Committee and the leading team. There are permanent bodies under the internal control office responsible for routine work. The Company’s Supervisory Audit Department independently supervises and evaluates the routine internal control work of the internal control office and the enterprises owned by the Company. The enterprises owned by the Company establish organs to carry out the work of internal control as requested by the Company. The supervisory audit departments of such enterprises independently supervise and evaluate the routine internal control work inside the enterprises at the request of the Company. The Company has built up a dedicated internal control work system and an independent supervision and evaluation system from the top down.

In regard to internal control rules, the Company has developed a dynamic system of internal control rules that combines the management rules with the Internal Control Handbook and the Internal Control Assessment Handbook. The Company has established sound internal control systems for five business categories including development and construction, production and operation, management of financial assets, comprehensive management and supervision and evaluation, aiming to monitor the results and effects of the management rules through internal control assessment

and evaluation. Upon a full analysis of all the internal and external risks and business processes, the Company has designed and produced the Internal Control Handbook, which, in terms of the five factors of internal control (control environment, risk evaluation, control activity, information and communication, monitoring), contains detailed provisions on 23 business processes (including income, purchase of materials, fuel management and fund management) and 19 soft elements (including organizational structure, human resources management, anti-fraud and risk management), gives a full description of the Company’s related guidelines and policies along with the work procedure and duties and responsibilities of each job position within the Company, and provides for a standard process for the operation of the businesses of the Company. The Company has also produced the Internal Control Assessment Handbook, which regulates and standardizes internal control assessments by introducing a work mode that combines routine assessments with focused supervision, building up a three-level (i.e. the Company’s head office, local offices and grassroots enterprises) system to manage internal control assessments and establishing procedures and methods of internal control assessment and procedures and standards for definition of defects. Each year, the Company evaluates the practicality and effectiveness of these systems and rules and makes regular amendments and improvements to them as a way of dynamic maintenance of the internal control rules. In the first half of this year, the Company continued to advance the construction of internal control rules, strengthened risk control in the key areas, kept improving the Internal Control Handbook and the risk control matrix and further enhanced the level of management of internal controls inside the Company.

In regard to execution and assessment, the Company has applied closed-loop management to risk monitoring, execution of internal controls and deviation correction in line with the concept of “control embedded in and combined with assessment”. The Company has identified four types of Level I risks (strategic, operational, financial and fraud) and 27 types of Level II risks and delegated the task of risk management to all levels of business units. The Internal Control Handbook provides measures of internal control against the identified risks and defines over 500 key control points. The “one position one checklist” system ensures that each job position is assigned the appropriate responsibility of internal control so that
 
 
31

 
 
all the staff of the Company could involve in the work of internal controls. The Company adopts a routine internal control assessment mechanism, where internal control assessors are stationed in each department of the Company’s head office and each subordinated entity to run internal control assessments on a monthly basis. Via the internal control management system, the Company also creates assessment quality supervision mechanisms at the Company’s level and levels of its local offices and grassroots enterprises to track the state of internal controls. In the first half of this year, the Company has successfully completed six months of routine assessments and examined the high-risk entities identified in risk evaluations, which promotes and provides assurance for the sustained and sound development of the Company’s businesses and maintains the smooth operation of the Company’s internal control system. Giving consideration to the new requirements and changes in relation to its business and management and learning from past experience and lessons, the Company organizes all-around multi-level internal control trainings to widely spread concepts and knowledge of internal control and thereby persistently improve the internal control environment.

In regard to supervision and appraisal, the Company has built up three solid defense lines against internal control risks, i.e. real-time execution and assessment by responsible units, day-to-day management by internal control management departments and independent supervision and evaluation by internal audit departments. In this way, an internal control supervision mechanism that links to day-to-day management and balances process with results is built up, which separates and clarifies the execution, management and supervision functions of internal controls. The internal control management department, the internal audit department and outside auditors respectively make regular reports of internal control to the Audit Committee of the Board, which ensures the sustained and effective operation of the internal control system. The Company keeps perfecting the rules for internal control appraisal by establishing the Management Rules regarding the Internal Control Appraisal and Evaluation and carrying out regular performance appraisals against internal control targets and

 
32

 
 
comprehensive evaluations. The results of comprehensive evaluations are published across the Company, while those of target appraisals are timely delivered and honored. By doing so, the Company has managed to create a sound work environment where all levels of units contend for excellence and strive to enhance the quality of internal controls towards the deeper goal of promoting management through internal controls.

Upon full assessment, the management of the Company is of the opinion that the internal control system of the Company is sound and effective.

The above systems and measures have formed a sound management framework for our production and operation, ensuring an on-going standardization of operations of the Company and a gradual enhancement of corporate management quality.

(b)
Securities transactions by Directors

As the Company is listed on three jurisdictions, the Company has strictly complied with the relevant binding clauses on securities transactions by directors imposed by the regulatory authorities of the US, Hong Kong and China and we insist on the principle of complying with the strictest clause, which is, implementing the strictest clause among three places. We have adopted a set of standards not less exacting than the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers set out in Appendix 10 to the Listing Rules as the model code for securities dealings by directors of the Company, namely, Management Rules regarding the Company’s Securities Information and Trading. The Company has also formulated and implemented the Management Rules in respect of the Shares of the Company held by the Directors, Supervisors and Senior Management of Huaneng Power International, Inc. The model codes for the trading of securities by the Company’s directors include: trading the Company’s shares strictly in accordance with the stipulations under the Companies Law and relevant regulations, prohibiting those who are in possession of securities transaction insider information using insider information in securities trading; and setting out detailed rules for those who are in possession of inside information. Following a specific enquiry on all the directors and senior management of the Company, all the directors and senior management currently do not hold any shares in the Company and there is no material contract in which the directors and senior management directly or indirectly have material interests.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(Amounts expressed in thousands of RMB unless otherwise stated)

1.
BASIS OF PREPARATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2014 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”). The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information was approved for issue on 29 July 2014.

As at and for the six months ended 30 June 2014, a portion of the Company and its subsidiaries’ funding requirements for capital expenditures were partially satisfied by short-term financing. Consequently, as at 30 June 2014, the Company and its subsidiaries have net current liabilities of approximately Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”) 67.48 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 are expected to refinance and also consider alternative sources of financing, where applicable and when needed. 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 accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information are prepared on a going concern basis.

2.
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Except as described below, the principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those applied in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013 described in those annual financial statements.

The Company and its subsidiaries have adopted the following new amendments to standards and one Interpretation that are first effective for the current accounting period:

 
Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27, ‘Investment entities’. The amendments provide consolidation relief to those parents which qualify to be an investment entity as defined in the amended IFRS 10. Investment entities are required to measure their subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss. These amendments do not have an impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information as the Company and its subsidiaries do not qualify to be investment entities.

 
Amendments to IAS 32, ‘Financial instruments: Presentation – Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities’ clarify the offsetting criteria in IAS 32. The amendments do not have any material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information as they are consistent with the policies already adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries.

 
Amendments to IAS 36, ‘Impairment of Assets – Recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets’ modify the disclosure requirements for impaired non-financial assets. Among them, the amendments expand the disclosures required for an impaired asset or CGU whose recoverable amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal. The amendments do not have any material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information.
 
 
53

 
 
 
Amendments to IAS 39, ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Novation of derivatives and continuation of hedge accounting’ provide relief from discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of a derivative designated as a hedging instrument meets certain criteria. The amendments do not have any material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information as the Company and its subsidiaries have not novated any of its derivatives.

 
IFRIC 21 ‘Levies’ provides guidance on when a liability to pay a levy imposed by a government should be recognized. The amendments do not have any material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information as the guidance is consistent with the Company and its subsidiaries’ existing accounting policies.

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). No operating segments have been aggregated to form a reportable segment.

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”) excluding dividend income received from available-for-sale financial assets and operating results of those centrally managed and resource allocation functions of headquarters(“Segment results”). 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 of 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 of headquarters that are not attributable to any operating segment (“corporate liabilities”). These are part of the reconciliation to total balance sheet assets and liabilities.

All sales among the operating segments were performed at market price or close to market price, and have been eliminated as internal transactions when preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information.

CONSOLIDATED NET PROFIT RECONCILIATION BETWEEN PRC GAAP AND IFRS

The financial statements, which are prepared by the Company and its subsidiaries in conformity with the PRC GAAP, differ in certain respects from that of IFRS. Major impact of adjustments for IFRS, on the consolidated net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, are summarized as follows:

(a)
Effect of recording the amounts received in advance of previous years

In accordance with the tariff setting mechanism applicable to certain power plants of the Company in previous years, certain power plants of the Company receive payments in advance in the previous years (calculated at 1% of the original cost of fixed assets) as the major repair and maintenance cost of these power plants. Such receipts in advance are recognized as liabilities under IFRS and are recognized in profit or loss when the repairs and maintenance is performed and the liabilities are extinguished. In accordance with PRC GAAP, when preparing the financial statements, revenue is computed based on actual power sold and the tariff currently set by the State, no such amounts are recorded.

 
(b)
Difference in the recognition of housing benefits to the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries in previous years

The Company and its subsidiaries once provided staff quarters to the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and sold such staff quarters to the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries at preferential prices set by the local housing reform office. Difference between cost of the staff quarters and proceeds from the employees represented the housing losses, and was borne by the Company and its subsidiaries.

Under Previous Accounting Standards and Accounting System (“Previous PRC GAAP”) , in accordance with the relevant regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance, such housing losses incurred by the Company and its subsidiaries are fully charged to non-operating expenses in previous years. Under IFRS, such housing losses incurred by the Company and its subsidiaries are recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining average service lives of the employees.
 
 
75

 
 
 
(c)
Effect of depreciation on the capitalization of borrowing costs in previous years

In previous years, under Previous PRC GAAP, the scope of capitalization of borrowing costs was limited to specific borrowings, and thus, borrowing costs arising from general borrowings were not capitalized. In accordance with IFRS, the Company and its subsidiaries capitalized borrowing on general borrowing used for the purpose of obtaining qualifying assets in addition to the capitalization of borrowing costs on specific borrowings. From 1 January 2007 onwards, the Company and its subsidiaries adopted PRC GAAP No. 17 prospectively, the current adjustments represent the related depreciation on capitalized borrowing costs included in the cost of related assets under IFRS in previous years.

 
(d)
Differences in accounting treatment on business combinations under common control

Huaneng Group is the parent company of HIPDC, which in turn is also the ultimate parent of the Company. The Company carried out a series of acquisitions from Huaneng Group and HIPDC. As the acquired power companies and plants and the Company were under common control of Huaneng Group before and after the acquisitions, such acquisitions are regarded as business combinations under common control.

In accordance with PRC GAAP, under common control business combination, the assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations are measured at the carrying amounts of the acquirees on the acquisition date. The difference between carrying amounts of the net assets acquired and the consideration paid is adjusted to equity account of the acquirer. The operating results for all periods presented are retrospectively restated as if the current structure and operations resulting from the acquisition had been in existence since the beginning of the earliest year presented, with financial data of previously separate entities consolidated. The cash consideration paid by the Company is treated as an equity transaction in the year of acquisition.
 
 
76

 
 
For the business combination occurred prior to 1 January 2007, in accordance with Previous PRC GAAP, when equity interests acquired is less than 100%, the assets and liabilities of the acquirees are measured at their carrying amounts. The excess of consideration over the proportionate share of the carrying amounts of the net assets acquired was recorded as equity investment difference and amortized on a straight-line basis for not more than 10 years. When acquiring the entire equity, the entire assets and liabilities are accounted for in a method similar to purchase accounting. Goodwill arising from such transactions is amortized over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. On 1 January 2007, in accordance with PRC GAAP, the unamortized equity investment differences and goodwill arising from business combinations under common control were written off against undistributed profits.

Under IFRS, the Company and its subsidiaries adopted the purchase method to account for the acquisitions above. The assets and liabilities acquired in acquisitions were recorded at fair value by the acquirer. The excess of acquisition cost over the proportionate share of fair value of net identifiable assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. The operating results of the acquirees are consolidated in the operating results of the Company and its subsidiaries from the acquisition dates onwards.

As mentioned above, the differences in accounting treatment under PRC GAAP and IFRS on business combinations under common control affect both equity and profit. Meanwhile, due to different measurement basis of the assets acquired, depreciation and amortization in the period subsequent to the acquisition will be affected which will also affect the equity and profit or loss upon subsequent disposals of such investments. Such differences will be gradually eliminated following subsequent depreciation, amortization and disposal of related assets.
