|
||||
Other operating expenses of the Singapore operations increased by RMB3.124 billion, in which purchase of electricity increased by RMB3.056 billion, which was mainly caused by the increase of power purchase quantity and unit price.

For the year ended 31 December 2011, the share of profit of associates/jointly controlled entities was RMB704 million, a RMB135 million increase from RMB569 million for the year ended 31 December 2010. The increase was primarily due to the overall increase of the profit of associates and jointly controlled entities for the year ended 31 December 2011, which includes profit of RMB76 million from investment in Time Shipping.
|
||||
2.5
|
Income tax expenses
|
|||
For the year ended 31 December 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries recorded an income tax expense of RMB869 million, representing an increase by 3.12% from RMB843 million for the year ended 31 December 2010. The income tax expense of domestic operations decreased by RMB109 million which was primarily due to the decrease of profit before income tax expense. The income tax expense of the Singapore operations increased by RMB136 million which was mainly attributable to the increase of profit before income tax expense.

|
Net profit, profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company and non-controlling interests
|
|||
For the year ended 31 December 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries achieved a net profit of RMB1.181 billion, representing a decrease of RMB2.140 billion from RMB3.321 billion for the year ended 31 December 2010.

The profit attributable to equity holders of the Company from domestic operations decreased by RMB2.758 billion mainly because of increase of fuel price and increase of RMB borrowing interest rate. The profit attributable to equity holders of the Company from the Singapore operations increased by RMB591 million to RMB1.282 billion. 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 compare to last year. The profit attributable to non-controlling interest of the Company was RMB1 million for the year ended 31 December 2011 compared to loss of RMB27 million for the year ended 31 December 2010. This is mainly attributable to the fact that the companies in which the Company has low shareholding have performed better than those in which the Company has high shareholding.

TREND INFORMATION
|
|
According to the National Power Industry Statistics Express for 2011 issued by China Electricity Council, as at 31 December 2011, nationwide installed capacity reached 1.056 billion KW, representing an increase of 9.2% over 2010; total power consumption throughout China reached 4.69 trillion KWh, representing an increase of 11.7% from last year. In the first half and summer peak period of 2011, power shortage occurred in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian, Hubei, Henan, Chongqing, Gansu and Guangdong, and power shortage nationwide amounted up to 30 million KW. In 2011, the Company experienced smooth development of power generation construction projects and increased its operating controlled and equity-based generation capacity by 4,761.5MW and 3,149.4MW, respectively, from newly installed generation facilities, including 3,120MW from coal-fired power generation units, 923MW from gas-fired power generation units, 698.5MW from wind power generation units, and 20MW from hydropower generation units. Given the change of generation capacities of some affiliates of the Company and the change of generation capacity from technical renovation of existing generation units and closure of small generation units by the Company, the Company has had controlled generation capacity of 60,375MW and equity-based generation capacity of 55,350MW as at 20 March 2012. The Company is now one of China’s largest listed power producers with power plants located in 19 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. The Company also has a wholly-owned operating power plant in Singapore.

Development trend in power generation market
|
|
China is expected to maintain steady economic growth in 2012 to meet the 7.5% GDP growth target set down at the central economic work conference and the government work report, which suggests slightly decreased growth of the 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 be 1.14 billion KW by the end of 2012, with 4,750 hours of power equipment utilization and 5,300-5,400 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 deficient coal supply 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 rise of power tariff in 2011, all power producers have commonly realized to increase power generation as an effective measure to promote profitability, which surely will contribute to more intensified competition in the power market.
|
||
2)
|
Trend of 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 2012, the demand and supply of coal will be generally balanced and stable, providing no driving force for price increase. In the coastal regions of eastern China, good transportation conditions ensure readily sufficient 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 difficulty 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.
|
||

|
Trend of capital market
|
|
In 2012, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) will continually implement steady monetary policies and make predicative fine-tuning 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, the PBOC recently lowered RMB deposit reserve requirement ratio by 0.5 percentage point. This fine-tuning to monetary policies is helpful to ease liquidity and maintain consistent growth of economy. The consumer price index (CPI) in China is expected to follow a downward trend since 2012, which decrease together with reverse of negative interest rate situation will provide more flexibility for the PBOC in executing monetary policies.

|
IMPAIRMENT SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
|
|
1.
|
Goodwill impairment
|
|
Separately recognized goodwill is tested for impairment by the Company and its subsidiaries 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-ganeration, full impairment of related goodwill was provided based on the result of impairment test.
|
||
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 at 31 December 2011, if tariff had decreased by 1% or 5% from 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 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.
|
||
2.
|
Property, plant and equipment impairment
|
|
The Company and its subsidiaries test whether property, plant and equipment suffered any impairment whenever any impairment indication exists.
|
||
Changes of assumptions in tariff and fuel price will affect the result of property, plant and equipment impairment assessment. As at 31 December 2011, if tariff had decreased by 1% or 5% from 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 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.

POTENTIAL RISKS
|
|
1)
|
Risks relating to power market
|
|
Growth of economy and power demand in China began to slow down from the second half of 2011. Demand for electricity remained soft earlier this year as economic growth is expected to contract. Based on the 7.5% GDP growth target in 2012, China Electricity Council forecasts that power consumption nationwide will grow at by 8.8% in 2012, representing a decrease of two percentage points from 2011. The Company has conducted desulphurization renovation for a large
|
number of generating units according to national energy saving and emission reduction policies, while the policy regarding tariff for electricity generated by generating units installed with desulphurization facilities has yet to be formally promulgated nationwide. If the tariff for electricity generated by generating units installed with desulphurization facilities fails to be effective as scheduled, it may cause risk to the operations of the Company.
|
||
The Company will further its efforts to control and alert market risks, place more emphasis on research-based decision-making efforts regarding the conditions and policies of power market, take initiatives to develop market, design flexible marketing strategies to respond effectively to market demand, implement the standards and policies issued by the government to regulate domestic power market, and leverage on its strengths on energy saving and environment protection to increase equipment utilization rate and mitigate operational risks.
|
||
2)
|
Risks relating to coal supply market
|
|
The shortage of coal supply appears to easing with the issue of an announcement (No. 30 in 2011) in November 2011 by National Development and Reform Commission to stabilize coal price along with full utilization of coal production capacities in coal producing provinces. However, uncertainties and risks can be identified from market performance during the first months of 2012, including: (1) key contract price of coal increased by 5%; (2) coal market is further controlled by coal producers after consolidation and combination of coal production capacities; and (3) the power plants of the Company located in central China and Yunnan may experience coal supply shortage because of railway transportation capacity bottleneck and the policies of certain coal producing provinces to restrict outbound coal delivery. The Company will strive to ensure stable coal supplies from major sources, increase imports of coal from overseas markets, make efficient use of economic coal, and make efforts to secure coal supply from group members. The Company will also leverage its strengths on centralized fuels procurement to make effective allocation of coal supplies and prompt adjustment of pricing strategies, and strive to control fuels costs by thorough and improved fuel management.
|
||
3)
|
Risks relating to environment protection requirements
|
|
The PRC government imposed higher standards on the emission of air pollutant by coal-fired power generators. In accordance with the newly promulgated emission standards, during the 12th Five Year, the Company will increase its investment in desulphurization, install denitrification facilities on all coal-fired
|
generating units, and reconstruct smoke and gas anti-dust devices, in order to meet the new emission standards requirement. The new emission standards make it more difficult for the Company to control its capital expenditure and decrease its production costs. To strictly comply with the government’s policies and regulations on energy saving and environment protection, the Company will apply advanced technologies and enhanced management standards; develop advanced, highly capable and effective coal-fired generating units; improve renovation on existing generating units; and phase out outdated capabilities; so as to effectively enhance the efficiency in energy saving and environment protection and realize the clean development target.
|
||
4)
|
Risks relating to capital market
|
|
Liquidity remains tight with higher borrowing costs in the capital market today. The interest bearing debts of the Company are mostly denominated in RMB, and the change in RMB interest rates will have direct effect on the Company’s borrowing costs. The Company will make appropriate funding arrangement in line with market conditions, explore new funding opportunities, and make efforts to control financing while satisfying funding needs. The debts denominated in currencies other than RMB were less than 15% of the total interest bearing debts of the Company, most of which are charged with floating interest rates. The Company has provided interest rate hedging for nearly half of the floating-interest-rate debts and fluctuation of interest rates for the foreign loans will not have material adverse impact on the Company.
|
||
The Company has outstanding debts denominated in U.S. dollar and Euro, which are exposed to exchange gain or loss arising from exchange rate fluctuation. The debts denominated in foreign currencies accounted for less than 5% of the total interest bearing debts of the Company, most of which are denominated in U.S. dollar. Considering the slow but steady appreciation of RMB against U.S. dollar, the Company expects not to have material adverse impact from exchange rate fluctuation in foreseeable future.

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 (the “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.
|
||
As at and for the year ended 31 December 2011, a portion of the Company and its subsidiaries’ funding requirements for capital expenditures were partially satisfied by short-term financing. Consequently, as at 31 December 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries have a negative working capital balance of approximately RMB60.18 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.
|
||

|
Principal Accounting Policies
|
|
The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
|
||
The following new standards and amendments to standards are adopted for the first time to the financial year beginning 1 January 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 1 January 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 1 January 2010 and apply the remaining requirements of this standard from 1 January 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.
|
||
•
|
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 1 January 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 1 January 2011. These amendments have no material impact on the financial statements.

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.
|
|
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 consolidated financial statements.

Income Tax Expense
|
On 16 March 2007, the National People’s Congress promulgated the “Corporate Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China” which became effective from 1 January 2008. Domestic entities of the Company and its subsidiaries which originally enjoyed preferential tax treatments will transit to 25% gradually in five years from 1 January 2008 onwards. Domestic subsidiaries with original applicable tax rate of 33% apply tax rate of 25% from 1 January 2008 onwards. Pursuant to Guo Fa [2007] 39 document, starting from 1 January 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%).
|
|
Pursuant to Guo Shui Han [2009] 33 document, starting from 1 January 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. The income tax charges are based on assessable profit for the year and after considering deferred taxation. No Hong Kong profits tax has been provided as there were no estimated assessable profits in Hong Kong for the year (2010: nil).

NET INCOME 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 net profit of the Company and its subsidiaries is 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 advanced payments in the previous years (calculated at 1% of the original cost of fixed assets) as the major repairs and maintenance cost of these power plants. Such receipts in advance are recognized as liabilities under IFRS and are recognized as revenue 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 previous 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.
|
||
(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.

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 in previous years. 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.
|
||
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 could be gradually eliminated with the depreciation, amortization and disposal of assets.
