|
||
As of 30 June 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries have a negative working capital balance of RMB61.785 billion. Based on the successful financing history of the Company, the undrawn banking facilities available to the Company and its good credit rating, the Company believes that it will be able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due and secure the funds required for operations. In addition, the Company continued to make use of its favorable credit rating and minimized interest expense by drawing short-term borrowings which bore relatively lower interest rate.

VI.
|
RISK FACTORS
|
|||||
Financial Risks
|
||||||
i)
|
Interest rate risk
|
|||||
Domestic operations: the interest bearing debts denominated in RMB accounted for over 90% of the Company’s total interest bearing debts. Hence, the change of RMB interest rates will directly affect the Company’s borrowing costs. The interest bearing debts denominated in foreign currencies accounted for less than 10% of the Company’s total interest bearing debts, and approximately half of such debts are floating rate borrowings. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge against its exposures to interest rate risk of approximately half of the debts with floating interest rates, and thus, the fluctuation of the interest rates on foreign currencies borrowings is expected to have minimal impact on the Company.
|
||||||
Overseas operations: the interest bearing debts for the Singapore operations were all denominated in Singapore dollar and bear floating interest rates. The Company has entered into a series of interest rate swap agreements to hedge against its exposures to interest rate risk of approximately half of these debts, and given the prevailing lower level of the interest rates of Singapore dollar borrowings, the recent fluctuation of interest rates of Singapore dollar borrowings is not expected to have material adverse effect on the Company.
|
||||||
ii)
|
Exchange rate risk
|
Domestic operations: the interest bearing debts denominated in foreign currencies account for less than 10% of the Company’s total debts, mainly denominated in US dollar. Given the steadily upward trend of the exchange rate of RMB to US dollar, the recent fluctuation of exchange rates is not expected to have material adverse effect on the Company.
|
||||||
Overseas operations: the imported fuels by Tuas Power, a subsidiary of SinoSing Power, were settled in US dollar. Considering the fluctuation of the exchange rate of Singapore dollar to US dollar, Tuas Power has entered into forward exchange contracts to hedge against its exposure to potential exchange risks.
|
||||||
The Company will keep a close watch on the fluctuations of exchange rate and interest rate markets and prudently assess the currency and interest rate risks. Combining the current development of overall power generation industry and the growth of the Company, the Company will make continuous effort to not only meet cash requirements for daily operations, constructions and acquisitions, but also establish an optimal capital structure to minimize the cost of capital and manage financial risks through effective financial management activities, thus maintaining sustainable and stable returns to the shareholders.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
|
|||
(Amounts expressed in thousands of RMB unless otherwise stated)
|
||||
1.
|
BASIS OF PREPARATION
|
|||
This unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2011 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (ÒIASÓ) 34 ÒInterim Financial ReportingÓ. This unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (ÒIFRSÓ) promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Board (the ÒIASBÓ).
|
||||
As at and for the six months ended 30 June 2011, 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 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries have a negative working capital balance of approximately Renminbi Yuan (ÒRMBÓ) 61.78 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 their liabilities as and when they fall due within the next twelve months and have prepared this unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information on a going concern basis.
|
||||

|
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 2010 described in those annual financial statements.
|
||||||
The Company and its subsidiaries have adopted the following amendments to standards in 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 has earlier 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. This did not result in any material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information as there was no material transactions with associates/jointly controlled entities of Huaneng Group and its subsidiaries for the six months ended 30 June 2011. The Company and its subsidiaries will disclose the commitments balance with related parties in the upcoming annual financial statements.
|
|||||
•
|
Amendments to IFRS 7, ‘Financial instruments: disclosures’. The amendments were as a result of the May 2010 Improvements to IFRSs (the ÒMay 2010 ImprovementsÓ) (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 Improvement on IFRS 7 on 1 January 2011. These amendments have no material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information.
|
•
|
Amendments to IAS 34 ‘Interim financial reporting’ is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. It emphasizes the existing disclosure principles in IAS 34 and adds further guidance to illustrate how to apply these principles. Greater emphasis has been placed on the disclosure principles for significant events and transactions. Additional requirements cover disclosure of changes to fair value measurement (if significant), and the need to update relevant information from the most recent annual report. These amendments did not result in any material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information.

Directors and certain senior management of the Company perform the function as chief operating decision makers (collectively referred to as the Òsenior managementÓ). 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. For the six months ended 30 June 2010, the operating segments of the Company were grouped into power segment and all other segments. Considering the developments of Singapore
|
operations in late 2010, including the commencement of construction of a new generator, the Company expected a continuous increase in significance of the Singapore operations. Hence, the internal reporting was restructured and the Company grouped operating segments into PRC power segment, Singapore segment and all other segments (mainly including port and transportation operations). Therefore, comparative figures for the six months ended 30 June 2010 were restated.
|
||
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 (ÒPRC GAAPÓ) 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 (Òcorporate assetsÓ). 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 (Òcorporate liabilitiesÓ). 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.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE
|
||
No Hong Kong profits tax was provided for the six months ended 30 June 2011 (for the six months ended 30 June 2010: nil) as the Company and its subsidiaries had no estimated assessable profits arising in or deriving from Hong Kong.
|
|||
Income tax expense of the Company and its subsidiaries has been provided on the estimated assessable profits for the period at their prevailing rates of taxation.
|
|||
Upon the effective of the ÒCorporate Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of ChinaÓ on 1 January 2008, domestic subsidiaries with original applicable tax rate of 33% apply income tax rate of 25% from 1 January 2008 onwards. Domestic entities of the Company and its subsidiaries which originally enjoyed preferential tax treatments will transit to 25% gradually 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.
|
|||
For the six months ended 30 June 2011, the income tax rate applicable to Singapore subsidiaries is 17% (for the six months ended 30 June 2010: 17%).
|
|||
For the six months ended 30 June 2011, the weighted average effective tax rate applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries is approximately 31.06% (for the six months ended 30 June 2010: 17.75%). The increase in weighted average effective tax rate was primarily attributable to decrease in tax credit relating to purchases of domestically manufactured equipment and tax losses of certain subsidiaries with no deferred income tax assets recognized.

IMPACT OF ADJUSTMENTS FOR INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (ÒIFRSÓ) ON NET PROFIT (UNAUDITED)
|
||
The financial statements, which are prepared by the Company and its subsidiaries in conformity with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (ÒPRC GAAPÓ), differ in certain respects from that of IFRS. Major impact of adjustments for IFRS, on the consolidated net profit of the Company are summarized as follows:

|
|
|
|
(a)
|
Amortization of the difference in the recognition of housing benefits of the 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 (ÒPrevious PRC GAAPÓ) , 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.
|
||||
(b)
|
Difference on depreciation related to borrowing costs capitalized 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.
|
||||
(c)
|
Differences in accounting treatment on business combinations under common control in previous years
|
|||
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.
|
||||

Deferred income tax impact on GAAP differences

This represents related deferred income tax impact on the GAAP differences above where applicable.
