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 31 December 2011 was RMB430.10 per MWh, an increase of RMB8.44 per MWh from the year ended 31 December 2010.
   
 
In respect of fuel supply and cost controls, the increase of fuel price and power generation contributed to an increased fuel cost of the Company. Compared to 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 forgoing factors, the operating revenue of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2011 increased by 27.90% from last year. 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 31 December 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.

For the year ended 31 December 2011, net cash provided by operating activities of the Company was RMB20.949 billion, of which RMB2.405 billion was from the operating activities in Singapore. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was mainly attributed to the decrease of expenditure on construction projects and acquisitions. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to issuance of shares last year and repayment of a number of borrowings matured during 2011. The Company expects to continue its focus on construction projects with large investment amount in 2012.
     
 
As at 31 December 2011, the cash and cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries denominated in RMB, Singapore dollar, U.S. dollar and Japanese Yen were RMB4.973 billion, RMB2.936 billion, RMB0.644 billion, RMB0.2 million respectively.
     
 
As at 31 December 2011, net current liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries were approximately RMB60.180 billion.

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.
     
 
1)
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.



 
26

 


   
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.
     
 
3)
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.

H.
Accounting Standards with Significant Impact on the Financial Statements of the Company
 
 
For the significant changes in accounting standards for the year ended 31 December 2011, see Note 2 to the Financial Information extracted from Financial Statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.
   
I.
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 RMB550 million and RMB1,452 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 indicator 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 RMB355 million and RMB5,994 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 RMB139 million and RMB3,145 million, respectively.

J.
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 operating result 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 January and February 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.

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.

PROSPECTS FOR 2012
 
General working direction for 2012 set by the Central Economic Work Conference is “to maintain steady and health growth”, it stressed that progressive fiscal policy and sound monetary policy are still needed to be implemented, the economy of the country will develop in the expected direction set by the macro-economic control measures. However, as global economic environment is still harsh yet complicated, together with the pressure of slowing down in economic growth and price inflation in China, the unstable and uncertain factors in the operation of the macro-economy still persist.

On aspect of production and operation, the increase in demand for electricity nation-wide and the commercial operation of the newly constructed generating units of the Company provide opportunities for the Company to increase the growth of power production and utilization hours. The upward adjustments to tariff by the State and the measures to restrict coal prices last year had greatly improved the Company’s operation environment and increased the profitability. However, following the adjustments to the economic structure of the State and industrial upgrading, the growth in the Company’s power production will have certain impacts as the electricity consumption growth rate in eastern China region and southern China region (in which the Company has majority of its power plants) will be lower than those in central and western regions. At the same time, in the process of electricity reform, price mechanism reform is relatively lagging behind. This will also bring an uncertainty to the Company’s operation.

On aspect of fuel procurement, the moderately easing of the coal supply nation-wide in 2012 will create a favourable condition for the Company to control fuel costs. However, affected by the increased centralization of the coal industry, domestic coal prices may still run high, thereby bringing about a new pressure on the Company’s ability to preserve a stable supply of coal and to reduce fuel costs.

On aspect of funds market, as the People’s Bank lowered its deposit-taking financial institutions’ deposit reserve rate by 0.50 percentage point in February 2012, the market liquidity will be further increased and the tension in the funds market will be eased. The increase in market liquidity will be favourable for the Company to continue the innovative financial instruments, to fully utilize the advantages of direct financing, and to strive to control the costs of finance on basis of ensuring capital needs. However, given the requirements for the loan-to-deposit ratio, capital adequacy ratio and the deposit reserve ratio, the prevailing general capability for credit financing by banks is limited, and the funds from the credit market is still tight. At the same time, the relatively high lending interest rates and the adjustments to the credit structure of part of the banks will also pose new challenges to the financing work of the Company.

The main task of the Company in 2012 is to focus on enhancing economic efficiency, and through which to make our power business become stronger and perform better. The Company will remain sensitive to the changes in the power market, and strive to explore the market and capture every market opportunities. Besides, the Company will improve the power structure and optimize the timing for every project, with an aim to enhance the benefits from power generation, strive to make the annual domestic generating units utilization hours reach 5,600 hours, thus enabling the Company’s domestic power plants to achieve an annual power generation of 340 billion kWh. Another task for the Company is to impose more stringent control of fuel costs, and make endeavors to explore new coal sources and supply channels. The major direction for the Company is to maintain the position of its core business, adjust power structure, enhance efficiency and risk control, which will be achieved through strengthening funds management, enhancing financial analysis ability, and improving risk controls and cost controls.

In respect of the development for 2012 and the years after, the Company will gradually accelerate the transformation of its development mode for further developments, and further consolidate and optimize its geographical coverage. The Company will fine tune the development plan for thermal power generating, and aggressively invest in development and construction of power projects in gas, wind power, hydro power, aiming to enhance the quality and efficiency of the development.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Notes to the Financial Statements
 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011
(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 30 June 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 (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.

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 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.

 
95

 


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. 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 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.

 
 
(b)
Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries made up to 31 December.

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.


 
96

 

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(i)). 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.

 
(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(i)). 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.


 
97

 

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.

In balance sheet of the Company, investments in associates/jointly controlled entities are stated at costs less provision for impairment losses (Note 2(j)). Investment income from investments in associates/jointly controlled entities is accounted for by the Company based on dividends received and receivable.

 
 
(c)
Separate financial statements of the Company
 
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost also includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividend and receivable.


 
98

 

Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving dividends from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets including goodwill.

 
 
(d)
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.

 
 
(e)
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.

 
99

 


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.

 
 
(f)
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.


 
100

 

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(j)).

 
 
(g)
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.

 
 
(h)
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.

 
 
 (i)
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.

 
101

 


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.

 
 
(j)
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.

 
 
(k)
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

 
102

 

date which these are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are primarily included in as ‘accounts receivable’, ‘other receivables and assets’, ‘loans to subsidiaries’, ‘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.

 
(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.

 
103

 


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(l).

 
(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’.


 
104

 

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’.

 
 
(l)
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.

 
 
(m)
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.


 
105

 

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.

 
 
(n)
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.

 
 
(o)
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.

 
 
(p)
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.

 
 
(q)
Borrowing costs
 
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

 
 
(r)
Payables
 
Payables primarily including accounts payable and other liabilities, etc. are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.


 
106

 

 
 
(s)
Taxation
 
 
(i)
Value-added tax (“VAT”)
 
The domestic power, heat and coal sales of the Company and its subsidiaries are subjected to VAT. VAT payable is determined by applying 17% (or 13% on heat) on the taxable revenue after offsetting deductible input VAT of the period.

 
(ii)
Business Tax (“BT”)
 
Port and transportation services of the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to BT, with applicable tax rate of 3%.

 
(iii)
Goods and service tax (“GST”)
 
The overseas power sales of the Company and its subsidiaries are subjected to goods and service tax of the country where they operate. GST payable is determined by applying 7% on the taxable revenue after offsetting deductible GST of the period.

 
(iv)
Current and deferred income tax
 
The income tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

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.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the differences between tax bases of assets and liabilities and respective book values (temporary differences). 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.

 
 
(t)
Employee benefits
 
Employee benefits include all expenditures relating to the employees for their services. The Company and its subsidiaries recognize employee benefits as liabilities during the accounting period when employees render services and allocates to related cost of assets and expenses based on different beneficiaries.

In connection with pension obligations, the Company and its subsidiaries operate various defined contribution plans in accordance with the local conditions and practices in the countries and provinces in which they operate. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company and its subsidiaries pay fixed contributions into a separate publicly administered pension insurance plan on mandatory and voluntary bases. The Company and its subsidiaries have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expenses when incurred. Prepaid contributions are recognized as assets to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payment is available.

 
 
(u)
Government grants
 
Government grants are recognized when the Company and its subsidiaries fulfill the conditions attaching to them and are able to receive them. When government grants are received in the form of monetary assets, they are measured at the amount received or receivable. When the grant is in the form of non-monetary assets, it is measured at fair value. When fair value cannot be measured reliably, nominal amount is assigned.

Asset-related government grant is recognized as deferred income and is amortized evenly in profit or loss over the useful lives of related assets.


 
108

 

Income-related government grant that is used to compensate subsequent related expenses or losses of the Company and its subsidiaries are recognized as deferred income and recorded in the profit or loss when related expenses or losses incurred. When the grant is used to compensate expenses or losses that were already incurred, they are directly recognized in current period profit or loss.

 
 
(v)
Revenue and income recognition
 
Revenue is recognized based the following methods:

Revenue and income are recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and its subsidiaries and the amount of the revenue and income can be measured reliably.

 
(i)
Electricity sales revenue
 
Electricity sales revenue represents the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for electricity sold in the ordinary course of the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (net of VAT or GST and after taking into account amounts received in advance). Revenue is earned and recognized upon transmission of electricity to the customers and the power grid controlled and owned by the respective regional or provincial grid companies.

 
(ii)
Coal sales revenue

(iii)
Service revenue
 
Service revenue refers to amounts received from service of port loading and conveying. The Company and its subsidiaries recognize revenue when the relevant service was provided.

 
(iv)
Interest income
 
Interest income from deposits is recognized on a time proportion basis using effective interest method. Interest income from the finance lease is recognized on a basis that reflects a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the finance lease.

 
 
(w)
Leases
 
Leases where all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the assets are in substance transferred to the lessees are classified as finance leases. All other leases are operating leases.

 
(i)
Operating leases (lessee)

109

 


 
(ii)
Finance lease (lessor)
 
The Company and its subsidiaries recognize the aggregate of the minimum lease receipts and the initial direct costs on the lease inception date as the receivable. The difference between the aggregate of the minimum lease receipts and the initial direct costs and sum of their respective present values is recognized as unrealized finance income. The Company and its subsidiaries adopt the effective interest method to allocate such unrealized finance income over the lease term. On balance sheet date, the Company and its subsidiaries present the net amount of finance lease receivable after deducting any unrealized finance income in non-current assets and current assets, respectively.

Please refer to Note 2(k)(v) for impairment test on finance lease receivables.

 
 
(x)
Purchase of electricity
 
The overseas subsidiary of the Company recognized electricity purchase cost when it purchases the electricity and transmits to its customers.

 
 
(y)
Financial guarantee contracts
 
 
(i)

(ii)
Liability adequacy test
 
At each balance sheet date, the Company and its subsidiaries perform liability adequacy tests to ensure the adequacy of the contract liabilities. In performing these tests, current best estimates of future contractual cash flows and related administrative expenses are used. Any deficiency is immediately charged to the statement of comprehensive income and by subsequently establishing a provision for losses arising from liability adequacy test.

 
 
(z)

(ab)
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 1 January 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 1 July 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 1 January 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 1 January 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 1 January 2013.

 
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 1 January 2013.

 
111

 


 
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 1 January 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 1 January 2013.

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.


 
112

 

As at 31 December 2011, if RMB had weakened/strengthened by 5% (2010: 5%) against US$ and 3% (2010: 3%) against EUR (“€”) with all other variables constant, exchange gain of the Company and its subsidiaries would have been RMB243 million (2010: RMB312 million) and RMB21 million (2010: RMB25 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 at 31 December 2011, if S$ had weakened/strengthened by 10% (2010: 10%) against US$ with all other variables constant, exchange gain of the Company and its subsidiaries would have been RMB44 million (2010: RMB121 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 at the balance sheet date, they entered into foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of RMB191.04 million (2010: RMB67.47 million) to hedge its financial liabilities exposure in US 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.

As at 31 December 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 RMB9.62 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.


 
113

 

 
(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 at 31 December 2011, if interest rates on RMB-denominated borrowings had been 50 basis points (2010: 50 basis points) higher/lower with all other variables held constant, interest expense for the year would have been RMB500 million (2010: RMB334 million) higher/lower. If interest rates on US$-denominated borrowings had been 50 basis points (2010: 50 basis points) higher/lower with all other variables held constant, interest expense for the year would have been RMB11 million (2010: RMB14 million) higher/lower. If interest rates on S$-denominated borrowings had been 100 basis points (2010: 100 basis points) higher/lower with all other variables held constant, interest expense for the year would have been RMB73 million (2010: RMB89 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, other non-current assets and loans to subsidiaries. The maximum exposures of bank deposits, accounts and other receivables are disclosed in Notes 33, 18, 17 and 15 to the financial statements, respectively, while maximum exposures of loans to subsidiaries are presented on the balance sheets.

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.


 
114

 

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.

Singapore subsidiaries derive revenue mainly from sale of electricity to the National Electricity Market of Singapore operated by Energy Market Company Pte. Ltd., which is not expected to have high credit risk. They also derive revenue mainly from retailing electricity to consumers with monthly consumption of more than 10,000kWh. These customers engage in a wide spectrum of manufacturing and commercial activities in a variety of industries. They hold cash deposits RMB164.56 million (2010: RMB141.06 million) and guarantees from creditworthy financial institutions to secure substantial obligations of the customers.

The concentrations of accounts receivable are disclosed in Note 5.

Regarding balances with subsidiaries, the Company and its subsidiaries obtain the financial statements of all subsidiaries and assess the financial performance and cash flows of those subsidiaries periodically to manage the credit risk of loans.

 
(iii)
Liquidity risk
 
Liquidity risk management is to primarily ensure the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to meet its liabilities as and when they are fall due. The liquidity reserve comprises the undrawn borrowing facility and cash and cash equivalents available as at each month end in meeting its liabilities.

The Company and its subsidiaries maintained flexibility in funding by cash generated by their operating activities and availability of committed credit facilities.

Financial liabilities due within 12 months are presented as the current liabilities in the balance sheets. The repayment schedules of the long-term loans and long-term bonds and cash flows of derivative financial liabilities are disclosed in Notes 22, 23 and 13, respectively.

Fair value estimation
 
 
(i)
Fair value measurements
 
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:

 
Level 1– Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2– Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
 
Level 3– Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

          182,475             182,475             82,158             82,158  

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.

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.


 
117

 

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 RMB93.67 billion and RMB18.95 billion as at 31 December 2011 (2010: RMB78.81 billion and RMB14.73 billion), respectively. The aggregate book value of these liabilities was approximately RMB93.99 billion and RMB18.85 billion as at 31 December 2011 (2010: RMB78.97 billion and RMB13.83 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 at 31 December 2011 was 76.86% (2010: 72.61%).

 
 
(d)
Insurance 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.

 
118

 


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(y) (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(i) and 2(g), 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 at 31 December 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.

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 at 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.


 
119

 

 
 
(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(j), 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 at 31 December 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.

 
 
(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.

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.

Interest expense of approximately RMB874 million (2010: RMB815 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: 5.08%) 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 RMB50.96 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 RMB20.31 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 RMB8.48 million. The recoverable amounts are determined based on value in use of the related CGU assessed by an independent valuer.

As at 31 December 2011, certain property, plant and equipment was secured to a bank as collateral against a long-term loan of RMB169 million (2010: nil) (Note 22).

As at 31 December 2011, property, plant and equipment with net book value amounting to RMB332.43 million was secured to a bank as collateral against long-term loans of RMB234.65 million (2010: nil) (Note 22).

In 2011, SEG was restructured into two entities, namely, SEG and Shenzhen Energy Management Corporation. After restructuring, the shares of SEC originally held by SEG were transferred to Shenzhen Energy Management Corporation.
   
**
The Company holds 240 million shares, representing 9.08% shareholding of SEC, which is a subsidiary of Shenzhen Energy Management Corporation, one of the Company’s associates. Considered the equity interest effectively held by the Company directly and indirectly through Shenzhen Energy Management Corporation, and directors as well as supervisors appointed by the Company in SEC, the Company exercises significant influence on operations of SEC and classified it as an associate. As at 31 December 2011, the fair value of the Company’s shares in SEC was RMB1,464 million. In 2010, as these shares were still in lock-up period, there was no published price quotation and no price information available for the disclosure purpose.
   
***
In 2011, Zuoquan Longquan Metallurgy Casting Co., Ltd. was renamed as Shanxi Luan Group Zuoquan Wulihou Coal Co., Ltd.
   
****
In accordance with relevant terms stipulated in the memorandum and articles of association of Jinling CCGT, since the Company only exercises significant influence, Jinling CCGT is accounted for as an associate.

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 RMB1,689 million (2010: RMB1,520 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 to 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 31 December 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 31 December 2011 was US$368 million (RMB equivalents of RMB2,318.73 million) (2010: US$400 million (RMB equivalents of RMB2,649.08 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 31 December 2011 was S$1,564 million (RMB equivalents of RMB7,613.76 million) (2010: S$1,346 million (RMB equivalents of RMB6,888.62 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 at 31 December 2011, these interest rate swap contracts are carried on the balance sheet as financial liability of RMB365.355 million (2010: financial assets of RMB75.894 million).

Impairment tests for goodwill
 
Goodwill is allocated to the CGUs of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The carrying amounts of major goodwill allocated to individual CGUs are as follows:

   
2011
   
2010
 
PRC Power segment:
           
Yueyang Power Company
    100,907       100,907  
Pingliang Power Company
    107,735       107,735

    95,088       95,088  
Yangliuqing Power Company
    151,459       151,459  
Zhanhua Cogeneration
          291,734  
Diandong Energy
    1,197,574       N/A  
Diandong Yuwang
    414,407       N/A  
All other segments:
               
Qingdao Port
    107,002       107,002  
Luoyuanwan Harbour
    309,270       N/A  
Singapore segment:
               
Tuas Power
    10,919,538       11,478,473  

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:

8.27%
Pingliang Power Company

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.

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 20 March 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 RMB127 million (2010: RMB354 million), in which RMB72 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 RMB55 million of the aforementioned appropriation of statutory surplus reserve is reflected in these consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011.

On 22 June 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 31 December 2009 determined under the PRC GAAP to the statutory surplus reserve amounting to RMB508 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 31 December 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 31 December 2011 was approximately RMB1.13 billion (2010: RMB2.99 billion). The cumulative balance of distributable profit as at 31 December 2011 was approximately RMB12.372 billion (2010: RMB13.979 billion).
 
21.
DIVIDENDS
 
On 20 March 2012, the Board of Directors proposed a cash dividend of RMB0.05 per share, totaling approximately RMB703 million. This proposal is subject to the approval of the shareholders at the annual general meeting. These financial statements do not reflect this dividends payable, which will be accounted for in shareholders’ equity as an appropriation of retained earnings for the year ending 31 December 2012.

On 17 May 2011, upon the approval from the annual general meeting of the shareholders, the Company declared 2010 final dividend of RMB0.20 (2009 final: RMB0.21) per ordinary share, totaled approximately RMB2,807 million (2009 final: RMB2,528 million).

Huaneng Group is a state-owned enterprise. In accordance with the revised IAS 24, ‘Related Party Disclosures’, government-related enterprises, other than entities under Huaneng Group, which the PRC government has control, joint control or significant influence over are also considered as related parties of the Company and its subsidiaries (“other government enterprises”).
 
The majority of the business activities of the Company and its subsidiaries are conducted with other government-related enterprises. For the purpose of the related party balances and transactions disclosure, the Company and its subsidiaries have established procedures to determine, to the extent possible, the identification of the ownership structure of its customers and suppliers as to whether they are government-related enterprises. However, many government-related enterprises have a multi-layered corporate structure and the ownership structures change over time as a result of transfers and privatization programs. Nevertheless, management believes that all material related party balances and transactions have been adequately disclosed.

In addition to the related party information shown elsewhere in these financial statements, the following is a summary of significant related party transactions entered into in the ordinary course of business between the Company and its subsidiaries and their related parties during the year and significant balances arising from related party transactions as at year end.

Income and expense items in the income statements of the foreign operations are translated at average exchange rates approximating the rate of the transaction dates. All resulting translation differences above are recognized as a separate component of equity.

The cash flows of overseas business are translated at average exchange rates approximating the rates of the dates when cash flows incurred. The impact of the foreign currency translation on the cash and cash equivalents is presented in the cash flow statement separately.

When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, translation differences that were recorded in equity are recognized in the income statements as part of the disposal gain or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents represents cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, 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.

Financial assets
 
Financial assets are classified as the following categories at initial recognition: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets and held-to-maturity investments. The classification depends on the intention and ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to hold the financial assets. In the current reporting period, the financial assets held by the Company and its subsidiaries are classified as the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale assets.

 
(a)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
 
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading including held-for-trading financial assets and financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Except for designated hedging instruments, derivative financial instruments are classified as held-for-trading.

 
(b)
Loans and receivables
 
Loans and receivables refer to the non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable amount for which there is no quotation in the active market. Except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet dates which are categorized as non-current assets, they are included in current assets. Loans and receivables include notes receivable, accounts receivable, interest receivable, dividends receivable, other receivables, other current assets, long-term receivables and other non-current assets etc.

 
(c)
Available-for-sale financial assets
 
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated in this category.

 
(d)
Recognition and measurement
 
Financial assets are recognized initially at fair value when the Company and its subsidiaries become a party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument. Transaction costs relating to financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are directly recorded in income statements as incurred. Transaction costs for other financial assets are included in the carrying amount of assets at initial recognition.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale are subsequently measured at fair value.

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recorded in the income statements in the current period as gain or loss from changes in fair value. Interest or cash dividends received during the period in which such financial assets are held and gain of loss on disposal of such assets are recorded in the income statements for the current period. The subsequent changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recorded in gain or loss from changes in fair value, except for the gain or loss arising from the effective portion of qualified hedging instruments of cash flow hedges being deferred in equity (refer to Note 2(7)(e)).


 
201

 

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 equity. When these financial assets are derecognized, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in equity are included in the income statements for the current period. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recorded in investment income when the right of the Company and its subsidiaries to receive payments is established.

Loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 
(e)
Cash flow hedge
 
Cash flow hedge represents a hedge against the exposure to variability in cash flows where such cash flow is originated from a particular risk associated with a highly probable forecast transaction and could affect the income statements.

The hedged items of cash flow hedge are the designated items with respect to the risks associated with future cash flow changes in the Company and its subsidiaries. Hedging instruments are designated financial instruments with cash flows are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of a hedged item.

The fair value of a hedged item 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 the inception of hedging and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in cash flows of the hedged items. The Company and its subsidiaries apply ratio analysis method to evaluate the prospective effectiveness of cash flow hedge.

Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of derivatives that are designated and qualified as cash flow hedges are recognized as a separate component in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the income statements.

Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled to the income statements in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss. When the hedged forecast transaction 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. When the Company and its subsidiaries expect all or a portion of net loss previously recognized in equity will not be recovered in future accounting periods, the irrecoverable portion will be charged to the income statements.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, exercised, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the Company and its subsidiaries will stop hedge accounting. Any cumulative gain or loss previously recorded in equity remains in equity and is recycled to the income statements and initial recognition cost of non-financial assets when the forecast transaction occurs. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was previously recorded in equity is transferred to the income statements immediately.


 
202

 

 
(f)
Impairment of financial assets
 
Except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the Company and its subsidiaries assess the carrying amount of financial assets at balance sheet date. Provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence indicating that a financial asset is impaired.

When there is a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets, accumulated loss in fair value that is previously recorded in shareholder’s equity should be recorded as impairment loss. Impairment loss on available-for-sale equity investments is reversed through equity when the fair value subsequently increases.

When financial assets carried at amortized cost are impaired, the carrying amount of the financial assets is reduced to present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). The impairment amount is recognized as assets impairment loss for the current period. If there is objective evidence that the value of the financial assets is recovered as a result of changes in circumstances occurring after the impairment loss was originally recognized, the originally recognized impairment loss is reversed through the income statements.

 
(g)
Derecognition of financial assets
 
Financial assets are derecognized when: (a) the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired; or (b) all risks and rewards relating to the ownership of the financial assets have been transferred; or (c) the Company and its subsidiaries have neither transferred nor retained all risks and rewards relating to the ownership but gave up control on the financial assets.

The difference between book value and consideration received and accumulated changes in fair value recorded in equity are recognized in the income statements for the current period.
 
 
(8)
Receivables
 
Receivables including accounts receivable, notes receivable and other receivables, etc. are recognized initially at fair value.

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 flow. The carrying amounts of the receivables are reduced through the use of allowance accounts, and the amount of the provision is recognized in the income statements as assets impairment loss. When a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for receivable. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are recognized in the income statements as credit against assets impairment loss.


 
203

 

 
 
(9)
Inventories
 
Inventories include fuel, 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 according to the actual situation respectively when used, or capitalized to fixed assets when installed, as appropriate, using weighted average cost basis. Cost of inventories mainly 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 its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis. For inventories that are voluminous and at relatively low unit price, provision is determined based on individual categories. Net realizable values are determined based on the estimated selling price less estimated conversion costs during power generation, estimated selling expenses and related taxes in the ordinary course of business.

The Company and its subsidiaries apply perpetual inventory system.
 
 
(10)
Long-term equity investments
 
Long-term equity investments include equity investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities, associates and long-term equity investments in entities where i) the Company and its subsidiaries have no control, joint control or significant influence, ii) there is no quoted price in an active market, and iii) the fair value of such investments cannot be reliably measured.

 
(a)
Subsidiaries
 
Subsidiaries are investees over which the Company have the power to exercises control, i.e. the power to govern the financial and operating policies to obtain 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 investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using cost method in the financial statements. They are adjusted in accordance with equity method when preparing the consolidated financial statements.

If the Company purchases further interests of its subsidiaries from the minority shareholders, the consideration paid is compared with the newly-acquired proportionate share of net assets of the subsidiary carried based on the fair value exercise on the acquisition date. Any excess or shortfall is recorded in shareholders’ equity. The gain or loss on disposals or deemed disposals of a portion of equity interests in subsidiaries to minority shareholders is recorded in shareholders’ equity.


 
204

 

 
(b)
Jointly controlled entities and associates
 
Jointly controlled entities are investees over which the Company is able to exercise joint control together with other parties. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity whereby no party to the agreement is able to act unilaterally to control the activity of the entity. It applies equity method to investment to jointly controlled entities.

Associates are investees over which the Company and its subsidiaries, in substance, have significant influence on the financial and operation decisions. Significant influence refers to the right of participation in investee’s financial and operating policies without necessarily having full control or joint control over these policies with other parties. It applies equity method to investment to associates.

 
(c)
Other long-term equity investments
 
Other long-term equity investments are accounted for using cost method where i) the Company and its subsidiaries have no control, joint control, or significant influence, ii) there is no quoted price in an active market, and iii) the fair value of the investments cannot be reliably measured.

 
(d)
Investment cost recognition and subsequent measurement
 
Long-term equity investment via business combination:
 
For long-term investments via business combination under common control, costs are measured at carrying value of acquired portion of identifiable shareholder’s equity of the acquiree on acquisition date. For long-term investments via business combination not under common control, costs are measured at the costs of combinations.

Long-term investments via approach other than business combination:
 
For long-term investments obtained with cash considerations, initial costs are measured at the consideration paid. For long-term investments obtained with issuance of equity securities, initial costs are measured at fair value of the securities issued.

Long-term equity investments accounted for using cost method are measured at initial investment cost. Cash dividends or income appropriation declared by the investees are recognized as investment income in the current period.

The excess of initial investment cost of long-term equity investments measured using equity method of accounting over the proportionate share of fair value of net identifiable assets of the investee acquired is recognized as long-term equity investment cost at initial investment cost. 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 and 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 investees and the adjustments to align with the accounting policies of the Company and different periods. Current period investment income is then recognized based on the proportionate share of the Company and its subsidiaries in the investees’

 
205

 

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 measure them as provision if they bear additional obligations which meet the recognition criteria under the accounting standard of provisions. The Company and its subsidiaries adjust the carrying amount of the investment and directly recognize into capital surplus based on their proportionate share on movements of shareholders’ equity of the investees other than net profit or loss, given there is no change in shareholding percentage. 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. Unrealized profit or loss from transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries and the investees is eliminated to the extent of interest of the Company and its subsidiaries in the investees. Loss from transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries and the investees is not eliminated when there is evidence for asset impairment.

 
(e)
Impairment of long-term equity investments
 
When the recoverable amounts of investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities or associates are less than its book value, the carrying amounts are reduced to recoverable amounts. Please refer to Note 2(15) for details.

For other long-term equity investments, impairment loss is recognized in the income statements based on the shortfall between carrying amounts and the present value of such investments (deriving from discounting of future cash flow of similar investments at current market return rate).
 
 
(11)
Fixed assets and depreciation
 
Fixed assets consist of ports facilities, dam, buildings, electric utility plant in service, transportation facilities and others. Fixed assets acquired or constructed are initially recognized at cost. Fixed assets obtained during reorganization were initially recorded at their appraisal value approved by relevant stated-owned assets administration authorities.

Subsequent costs about fixed assets 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 are all charged in the current period profit or loss when they are incurred.

Depreciation of fixed assets is provided based on book value less estimated residual value over estimated useful life using straight-line method. For those impaired fixed assets, depreciation is provided based on book value after deducting impairment provision over estimated useful life.


 
206

 

The estimated useful lives, residual value rates and annual depreciation rates of the fixed assets are as follows:

   
Estimated useful lives
 
Estimated residual value rate
 
Annual depreciation rate
Ports Facilities
 
20-40 years
 
5%
 
2.38%-4.75%
Dam
 
8-40 years
 
3%
 
2.43%-12.13%
Buildings
 
6-45 years
 
0%-11%
 
2.11%-16.67%
Electric utility plant in service
 
5-35 years
 
0%-11%
 
2.71%-20.00%
Transportation facilities
 
6-20 years
 
0%-11%
 
4.75%-16.67%
Others
 
3-18 years
 
0%-11%
 
5.56%-33.33%

At the end of each year, the Company and its subsidiaries review the estimated useful life, estimated residual value and the depreciation method of the fixed assets for adjustment when necessary.

Fixed assets 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 fixed assets less book value and related tax expenses is recorded in the income statements.

The carrying amount of fixed assets is written down immediately to its recoverable amount when its carrying amount is greater than its recoverable amount. Please refer to Note 2(15).
 
 
(12)
Construction-in-progress
 
Construction-in-progress is recorded at cost. Cost comprises construction expenditures, installation expenditures, and other expenditures necessary for the purpose of preparing the assets for their intended use and those borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Construction-in-progress is transferred to fixed assets when the assets are ready for their intended use and depreciation begins from the following month.

When the recoverable amount of construction-in-progress becomes lower than its carrying amount, construction-in-progress is impaired to its recoverable amount (Note 2(15)).
 
 
(13)
Intangible assets and amortization
 
Intangible assets, which include land use right, power generation licence and mining rights etc., are initially recognized at cost. The Company’s intangible assets obtained during reorganization were initially recorded at their appraisal value approved by relevant stated-owned assets administration authorities.

Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives, with the exception of mining rights. The expected useful lives and amortization method applied to intangible assets with definite useful lives are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted when necessary. The mining rights will be amortized based on the units of production method from the commencement of production of coal mine.


 
207

 

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. The useful lives of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are reviewed by the Company and its subsidiaries in each accounting period.

When the recoverable amount of intangible assets becomes lower than their carrying amount, the intangible assets are impaired to their recoverable amount (Note 2(15)).
 
 
(14)
Goodwill
 
Goodwill is the cost of business combination not under common control over the proportionate share of the fair value of the net identifiable assets on the acquisition date. Goodwill arising from business combinations is presented separately on the consolidated financial statements.

Separately presented goodwill in the consolidated financial statements is tested for impairment at least annually. When performing impairment test, the carrying amount of goodwill is allocated to assets group or group of assets groups that are expected to benefit from the synergies arising from the business combination. The Company and its subsidiaries allocate goodwill to assets group or group of assets groups primarily based on region where they operate. Please refer to Note 2(15) for the accounting policy of impairment of assets group or group of assets groups. Goodwill is presented at cost less accumulated impairment loss.
 
 
(15)
Impairment of long-term assets
 
Separately presented goodwill in the consolidated financial statements and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least annually regardless of whether there are indications of impairment. Fixed assets, construction-in-progress, intangible assets with definite useful lives and long-term equity investments are tested for impairment when there are any indicators of impairment as of the balance sheet date. If the result of impairment test 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 assets group or group of assets groups to which the asset belongs. An assets group is the smallest group of assets that independently generates cash flows.

The long-term assets impairment referred above cannot be reversed after recognition even if the amount is recovered subsequently.
 
 
(16)
Financial liabilities
 
Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities at initial recognition. The Company and its subsidiaries financial liabilities are mainly held-for trading financial liabilities, payables, loans and bonds payables.

Payables, including accounts payable, notes payable, other payables and long-term payables, are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 
208

 

Loans and bonds payables are initially recognized at fair value less transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities due within one year (including one year) are classified as current liabilities; long-term financial liabilities to be mature within one year (including one year) from balance sheet date are classified as current portion of non-current liabilities, and the remaining are classified as non-current liabilities.
 
 
(17)
Borrowing costs
 
Borrowing costs incurred which are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of assets that needs a substantially long period of time to get ready for its intended use, are capitalized and recorded in the costs of the assets when the capital expenditure and borrowing costs have been incurred and the activities relating to the acquisition and construction that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use have commenced. The capitalization of the borrowing costs is ceased when the asset under acquisition or construction is ready for its intended use, and the borrowing costs incurred thereafter are expensed off. If the acquisition or construction of an asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption lasts for more than 3 months, the capitalization of the borrowing costs is suspended until the acquisition or construction is resumed. For specific borrowings for the acquisition or construction of an asset eligible for capitalization, the capitalized amount of interests is determined based on the interest expense incurred after deducting any interest income earned from the deposits or investment income from the temporary investment funded by the unused borrowing balance. For general borrowings used for acquisition or construction of an asset eligible for capitalization, the capitalized interest is determined by multiplying the weighted average excess of accumulated capital expenditure over specific borrowings by the capitalization rate of such general borrowings. The capitalization rate is determined according to the weighted average interest rate of the general borrowings.

Other borrowing costs are expensed in the current period.
 
 
(18)
Employee benefits
 
Employee benefits include all expenditures relating to the employees for their services.

The Company and its subsidiaries recognize employee benefits as liabilities during the accounting period when employees render services and allocate to related cost of assets and expenses based on beneficiaries.
 
 
(19)
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities
 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the differences arising between tax bases of assets and liabilities and book value (temporary differences). For deductible tax losses or tax credit that can be brought forward in accordance with tax laws for deduction of taxable income in subsequent years, it is considered as temporary differences and related deferred income tax assets are recognized accordingly. 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.

 
209

 

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.

As of 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 all the conditions below are met:

 
(a)
The Company and its subsidiaries have the legal enforceable right to settle current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities;

 
(b)
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.
 
 
(20)
Revenue recognition
 
Revenue is recognized based on the following methods:

The amount of revenue is determined by the fair value of the amount received or receivable according to contract or agreement, when sales of goods and rendering of services occur during the operating activities of the Company and its subsidiaries. Revenue and income are recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and its subsidiaries, the amount of the revenue and income can be measured reliably and meet particular conditions of revenue recognition of following business activities.

 
(a)
Product sales revenue
 
Product sales revenue mainly refers to amounts earned from sales of electricity and heat. The Company and its subsidiaries recognize revenue when electricity and heat is sold to consumers.

 
(b)
Service revenue
 
Service revenue refers to amounts received from service of port loading, conveying and transportation. The Company and its subsidiaries recognize revenue when the relevant service is provided.

 
(c)
Interest income
 
Interest income from deposits is recognized on a time proportion basis using effective yield method.


 
210

 

 
 
(21)
Leases
 
Leases where all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the assets are in substance transferred to the lessees are classified as finance leases. All other leases are operating leases.

 
(a)
Operating lease (Lessee)
 
Operating lease expenses are capitalized or expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 
(b)
Operating lease (Lessor)
 
Income from operating leases are recognized on a straight line method over the lease term.

 
(c)
Finance lease (Lessor)
 
The Company and its subsidiaries recognize the aggregate of the minimum lease receipts and the initial direct costs on the lease inception date as the receivable. The difference between the aggregate of the minimum lease receipts and the initial direct costs and their respective present values shall be recognized as unrealized finance income. The Company and its subsidiaries adopt the effective interest method to allocate such unrealized finance income over the lease term. On balance sheet date, the Company and its subsidiaries present the net amount of finance lease receivable after deducting any unrealized finance income in long-term receivables and current portion of non-current assets respectively.

Please refer to Note 2(7)(f) for impairment test of the finance lease receivable.
 
 
(22)
Government grants
 
Government grants are recognized when the Company and its subsidiaries fulfill the conditions attaching to them and the grants can be received. When government grants are in form of monetary assets, they are measured at the amount received or receivable.

Asset-related government grant is recognized as deferred income and is amortized evenly in income statements over the useful lives of related assets.

Income-related government grant that is used to compensate related expenses or losses in subsequent periods of the Company and its subsidiaries are recognized as deferred income and recorded in the income statements when related expenses or losses incurred. When the grant is used to compensate expenses or losses that were already incurred, they are directly recognized in profit and loss of current period.
 
 
(23)
Dividends appropriation
 
Cash dividend is recognized as a liability in the period when the proposed dividend is approved by the general meeting of shareholders.
 
 
(24)
Business combinations
 
Business combinations under common control refers to combinations where the combining

 
211

 

entities are controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination and that control is not transitory; business combinations not under common control refers to combinations where the combining entities are not controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination.

 
(a)
Business combinations under common control
 
The acquirer measures both the consideration paid and net assets obtained at their carrying amounts. The difference between the carrying amounts of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid is recorded in capital surplus (share premium), with any excess over capital surplus (share premium) being adjusted against undistributed profits. Any direct transaction cost attributable to the business combination is recorded in the income statements in the current period. However, the handling fees, commissions and other expenses incurred for the issuance of equity instruments or bonds for the business combination are recorded in the initial measurement of the equity instruments and bonds respectively.

 
(b)
Business combinations not under common control
 
The cost of a combination is measured as the fair value of the assets given and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition. Any direct transaction cost attributable to the combination is recorded in the income statement for the current period. However, the handling fees, commissions and other expenses incurred for the issuance of equity instruments or bonds for the business combination are recorded in the initial measurement of the equity instruments and bonds respectively. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the combination date. The excess of the combination cost over the fair value of the Company and its subsidiaries’ share in the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the combination cost is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, it is recognized in the income statements.
 
 
(25)
Preparation of consolidated financial statements
 
The scope of consolidated financial statements includes the Company and its subsidiaries.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date when control is transferred to the Company. They are deconsolidated 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 and net profit or loss of the subsidiaries, which is not attributable to the parent company, is separately presented as minority interests in the shareholders’ equity and net profit 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 and financial period adopted by the Company.

For subsidiaries acquired under business combinations involving entities not under common control, when preparing consolidated financial statements, adjustments are made on the financial statements of subsidiaries based on the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired at the acquisition date. For subsidiaries acquired under business combinations of

 
212

 

common control, when preparing consolidated financial statements, the consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of such subsidiaries from the earliest period presented as if the business combinations had occurred at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented and the net profit of the acquire realized before combination date is separately disclosed in the consolidated income statements.

In case a subsidiary is acquired and disposed of within two consecutive accounting years, when the Company enters into interest transfer agreement and meet the requirement to recognise held-for sale assets and liabilities, non-current assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are recognised as held-for-sale assets and liabilities, which are recorded in other current assets and other current liabilities. Such assets and liabilities will no longer be recognised, and investment gain or loss will be recorded when the interest transfer settle.
 
 
(26)
Segment Information
 
The Company and its subsidiaries determine the operation segment based on the internal organization structure, management requirement and internal reporting system and thereafter determine the reporting segment and present the segment information.

The operation segment is a component in the Company and its subsidiaries that meets all the conditions below: (a) the component earns revenue and incurs expense during the daily operation activities; (b) the management of the Company and its subsidiaries can regularly review the component’s operation results in order to make decision on allocating resources and assessing performance; (c) the component’s financial performance, operating results, cash flow and other related information are available. When the two or more operation segments have similar economical characteristics and meet certain conditions, the Company and its subsidiaries will combine them as one operation segment.
 
 
(27)
Determination of the fair value of financial instruments
 
When an active market exists for a financial instruments, fair value is determined based on quoted prices in the active market. When no such an active market exists, fair value is determined by using valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include 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, rather than specific parameters of the Company and its subsidiaries, as much as possible.
 
 
(28)
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:

 
213

 

 
(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 policy stated in Note 2(13) and 2(14). The recoverable amounts of assets group or group of assets groups are the present value of future cash flow. These calculations require the use of estimates. 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 goodwill and power generation licence.

 
(b)
Useful life of power generation licence
 
As at year end, management of the Company and its subsidiaries considered the estimated useful lives 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 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 fixed assets
 
Management of the Company decided the estimated useful lives of fixed assets and respective depreciation. This accounting estimate is based on the expected wears and tears incurred during power generation. Wears and tears can be significantly different after 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 carrying amount of fixed assets.

 
(d)
Estimated impairment of fixed assets
 
The Company and its subsidiaries perform impairment test on fixed assets to determine whether certain fixed assets have suffered any impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. In accordance with Note 2(15), 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 fixed assets.

 
(e)
Restraint in construction of new power plants
 
Receiving the final approval 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 management of the Company. Such an estimate and judgment is based on initial approval documents received as well as the understanding of the projects. Based on historical experience, the management believes that the Company and its subsidiaries will receive final approval 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, construction-in-progress and construction materials.

(d)
In 2011, the company and its subsidiaries adopted the assessed value as the original cost of intangible assets more than RMB1 million. These intangible assets mainly include the mining rights, land use rights, and territorial waters use right due to the acquisition of Diandong Energy, Diandong Yuwang, Luoyuanwan Harbour, Luoyuanwan Pier and Ludao Pier.

Mining rights was assessed by discounted cash flow method; land use rights by cost approaching methods and market value comparison methods, and territorial waters use right by cost approaching methods as well as land use rights.

The intangible assets above were all assessed by Beijing Zhongqihua Evaluation Co., Ltd.

 
(e)
The Company acquired the power generation licence as part of the business combination with Tuas Power. As the power generation licence is expected to be renewed without significant restriction and cost, with the consideration of related future cash flows generated and the expected continuous operations of management, such a power generation licence is considered to have indefinite useful life.

 
Impairment test of power generation licence
 
Power generation licence belongs to the single assets group of Tuas Power. The recoverable amount of the assets group 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 assets group or group of assets was 7.42% (2010: 6.85%%). An absolute change in the discount rate of 0.5% (2010: 0.5%) would result in approximately RMB1,689 million (2010: RMB1,520 million) change in the recoverable amount of the assets group or group of assets.

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 based 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 rate of 3.8% and 2.1% respectively was used in consideration of future expansion plans and new development projects as part of the long term strategy. The growth rate used did not exceed the long term average growth rate for the Singapore market.

Based on the assessments, no impairment was provided for power generation licence.

As at 31 December 2011, goodwill of the Company and its subsidiaries was primarily from the acquisitions of subsidiaries under business combinations not under common control.

In 2011, based on the results of assessment, except for the goodwill impairment from the acquisition of Zhanhua Cogeneration, no other impairment occurred. It was expected by the management that Zhanhua Cogeneration will incur loss in the future as the lasting low profit rate, and thus the relevant goodwill impaired in full value.

 
(a)
Impairment
 
Goodwill is allocated to the assets group of the Company and its subsidiaries identified according to their operations in different regions.

The carrying amount of significant portion of goodwill was as follow:

   
2011
   
2010
 
Tuas Power
    10,919,538,180       11,478,473,505  
 
The recoverable amounts of assets group are determined based on value-in-use calculations. For domestic Assets group, these calculations use cash flow projections based on management’s financial budgets covering a five-year period. The Company expects cash flows beyond the five-year period will be similar to that of the fifth year based 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 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 terminal value. On average, the growth and inflation rate of 3.8% and 2.1% respectively was used in consideration of future expansion plans and new development projects as part of the long term strategy. The growth rate used did not exceed the long term average growth rate for the Singapore market. The discount rate used for value-in-use calculations is 7.42%.

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 and fuel cost. 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 assets group or group of assets groups. Management

 
254

 

believes that any reasonably possible change in any of these key assumptions on which recoverable amounts of individual assets group or group of assets groups are based may cause carrying amounts of individual assets group or group of assets groups to exceed their recoverable amounts.

No goodwill was impaired in 2011 and 2010. The rest of movement of goodwill balance was due to the opening and closing foreign currency exchange difference.

SEGMENT REPORTING
 
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. In prior year, the operating segments of the Company included power segment and all other segments.

The senior management assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of profit/(loss) before income tax expense 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.

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 the price sold to the third party and have been eliminated as internal transactions when preparing the consolidated financial statements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS
 
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.
 
 
(1)
Market risk
 
 
(a)
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 5(21), (28) for details. The Company and its subsidiaries manage exchange risk through closely monitoring interest and exchange market.

 
294

 

As at 31 December 2011, if RMB had weakened/strengthened by 5% (2010: 5%) against US$ and 3% (2010: 3%) against € with all other variables constant, exchange gain of the Company and its subsidiaries would have been RMB243 million (2010: RMB312 million) and RMB21 million (2010: RMB25 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 at 31 December 2011, if S$ had weakened/strengthened by 10% (2010: 10%) against US$ with all other variables constant, exchange gain of the Company and its subsidiaries would have been RMB44 million (2010: RMB121 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 is denominated primarily in US$. 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. As at 31 December 2011, they entered into foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of RMB191.04 million (2010: RMB67.47 million) to hedge its financial liabilities exposure in US Dollar. Please refer to Note 5(3) for details.

 
(b)
Price risk
 
The available-for-sale financial assets 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 5(9). 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 their long-term strategic stakeholding decisions.

As at 31 December 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 RMB9.62 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 5(3) for details.

 
(c)
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 5(28) 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.

 
295

 

As at 31 December 2011, if interest rates on RMB-denominated borrowings had been 50 basis points (2010: 50 basis points) higher/lower with all other variables held constant, interest expense for the year would have been RMB500 million (2010: RMB334 million) higher/lower. If interest rates on US$-denominated borrowings had been 50 basis points (2010: 50 basis points) higher/lower with all other variables held constant, interest expense for the year would have been RMB11 million (2010: RMB14 million) higher/lower. If interest rates on S$-denominated borrowings had been 100 basis points (2010: 100 basis points) higher/lower with all other variables held constant, interest expense for the year would have been RMB73 million (2010: RMB89 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. In the current year, 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 5(3) for details.
 
 
(2)
Credit risk
 
Credit risk arises from bank deposits, credit exposures to customers, other receivables, other non-current assets and loans to subsidiaries. The maximum exposures of bank deposits, accounts and other receivables are disclosed in Notes 5(1), (4), (5) and (7) to the financial statements, respectively while maximum exposures of loans to subsidiaries are presented on balance sheets.

Bank deposits are placed with reputable banks and financial institutions which are regulated, 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 in the Board of this non-bank financial institution and exercises influence. Corresponding maximum exposures of these bank deposits are disclosed in Note 7(6) to the financial statements.

Most of the power plants of the Company and its subsidiaries operating within 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.

Singapore subsidiaries derive revenue mainly from sale of electricity to the National Electricity Market of Singapore operated by Energy Market Company Pte Ltd., which is not expected to have high credit risk. They also derive revenue mainly from retailing electricity to consumers with monthly consumption of more than 10,000kWh. These customers engage in a wide spectrum of manufacturing and commercial activities in a variety of industries. They hold cash deposits with RMB164.56 million (31 December 2010: 141.06 million) and guarantees from

 
296

 

creditworthy financial institutions to secure substantial obligations of the customers.

The concentrations of accounts receivable are disclosed in Note 5(5).

Regarding balances with subsidiaries, the Company and its subsidiaries can obtain the financial statements of all subsidiaries and assess the financial performance and cash flows of those subsidiaries periodically to manage the credit risk of loans.
 
 
(3)
Liquidity risk
 
Liquidity risk management is to primarily ensure the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to meet its liabilities as and when they are fall due. The liquidity reserve comprises the undrawn borrowing facility and cash and cash equivalents available as at each month end in meeting its liabilities.

The Company and its subsidiaries maintained flexibility in funding by cash generated by their operating activities and availability of committed credit facilities.

Financial liabilities due within 12 months are presented as the current liabilities in the balance sheets. The repayment schedules of the long-term loans and long-term bonds and cash flows of derivative financial liabilities are disclosed in Notes 5(28), (29) and (3), respectively.

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 investment in Yangtze Power classified as available for sale, and Beijing Jingneng Clean Energy as held for trading.

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.


 
299

 

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 swap.

 
(b)
Fair value disclosures
 
The carrying value less provision for doubtful accounts of accounts receivable, other receivables and assets, accounts payable, other payables, short-term loan and other current liabilities, 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 (including current maturities) and long-term bonds (including current maturities) was approximately RMB93.67 billion and approximately RMB18.95 billion as at 31 December 2011 (2010: RMB78.81 billion and approximately RMB14.73 billion), respectively. The aggregate book value of these liabilities was approximately RMB93.99 billion and RMB18.85 billion as at 31 December 2011 (2010: RMB78.97 billion and RMB13.83 billion), respectively.

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 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 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.
 
 
(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 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.

 
312

 

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.
