BUSINESS REVIEW FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR

During the first half of 2015, in face of the structural changes in the State’s economy and the stagnant growth of total electricity consumption nationwide compared to the same period of last year, the Company seized the favourable situation of the decline in coal market prices, demanded power plants to grasp power generation and at the same time controlled coal prices. The Company exercised strict control in expenditure and improved profitability substantially. The Company has accomplished well comparatively each of the business plans in the first half of 2015.

1.	Power Generation

In the first half of this year, the power plants of the Company in operation within China achieved a total power generation of 159.816 billion kWh, representing an increase of 5.32% from the same period of last year, as well as an electricity sold of 150.653 billion kWh, an increase of 4.95% from the same period of last year, and with 2,101 utilization hours, representing a decrease of 273 hours compared to the same period of previous year.

The increase in the power generation was primarily attributable to the contributions from the power plants acquired from the Company’s parent company in 2014 and generating units which had been newly put in operation. The decrease in the power generation output of some power plants as compared to the same period of last year was attributable to the following major reasons: Firstly, in the first half of 2015, the economy in China continued to grow slowly. With the deepening of the country’s economic restructuring, the growth in power consumption nationwide had declined, and the power generation and the utilization hour decreased. Secondly, the commencement of operation of a number of the ultra-high voltage west-to-east power transmission lines in China reduced the power generation market of thermal power generating units in the southeast coastal regions. Thirdly, since the summer this year, the temperature in the southern part of China remained low, and hence the cooling load decreased, the output in hydro-power generation increased and the output of thermal power generation decreased. Fourthly, the output from the thermal power generating units in Liaoning, Fujian and Zhejiang was affected by the commencement of large-scaled nuclear power plants in these provinces.

In addition, the accumulated power generation of Tuas Power Limited in Singapore, which is wholly owned by the Company, accounted for a market share of 22.4%, representing an increase of 0.8 percentage point compared to the same period last year (which was 21.6%).

2.	Cost Control

In the first half of 2015, affected by the slowdown in the development of the economy in China, the demand for coal decreased. Coal supply still outstripped demand in the coal market, and the coal prices dropped significantly. Seizing the opportunity from the prevailing loose coal market and the transportation by railway, the Company continued to reinforce its co-operation with large-scale coal companies through various measures like further shifting and adjusting business modes and structures, adopting the price-competitive approach in purchase of coal in the market, and at the same time strengthening the management of suppliers in order to have a full control of fuel costs.

3.	Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection

The Company attaches great importance to energy conservation and environmental protection. To-date, all of the coal-fired generating units of the Company have been equipped with desulphurization, denitrification and dust emission devices, with all indicators meeting with the environmental protection requirements. At the same time, the Company proposes to implement super low emission reform to generation units in certain areas according to schedule. In the first half of 2015, the Company has completed reform to 10 generation units, thereby achieving a total of 18 generation units of the Company that meet with the indicators for super low emission.

4.	Project Development and Construction

In the first half of 2015, the Company obtained approvals in projects with a total capacity of 4,919 MW, including Jiangxi Jinggangshan Photovoltaic (21 MW), Hainan Yangpu Co-generation (700 MW), Anhui Chaohu Phase II (1320 MW), Beijing Co-generation Phase III (998 MW), Chongqing Jinfengshan Wind Power (110 MW), Jiangsu Guanyun Co-generation (50 MW), Huichang Photovoltaic of Jiangsu Taicang Power Plant (20 MW), Jiangsu Suzhou Gas Turbine (400 MW), Jiangsu Rudong Off-shore Wind Power (300 MW) and Jiangxi Ruijin Phase II (1,000 MW).

In the first half of 2015, the Company’s projects having commenced operation have a total capacity of 2,081 MW, including No.2 coal-fired generation unit (350 MW) of Huaneng Yingcheng Thermal Power Co., Ltd., No.1 coal-fired generation unit (660 MW) of Huaneng Anyuan Power Generation Co., Ltd., the 5 MW photovoltaic (PV) units out of a total of 10 MW distributed PV modules project of Zhejiang Si’an Power Plant, the 35x2 MW power generation units of Huaneng Hunan Subaoding Wind Farm Project, the 24x2 MW wind turbines at Huaneng Hubei Jieshan Wind Farm Phase I Project, the 100x2 MW wind turbines at Huaneng Gansu Jiuquan Wind Power Phase II Project and the 24x2 MW wind turbines at Huaneng Gansu Qiaowan Sanbeiyi Wind Farm Project and Nos.1 and 2 coal-fired generation units (2x350 MW) of Huaneng Luoyang

Co-generation Co., Ltd. as at 30 June 2015, the controlled generation capacity of the Company reached 80,424 MW, and the equity based generation capacity reached 71,667 MW. The proportion of clean energy (gas turbine, hydro-power, wind power and PV) reached 11.48%.

PROSPECTS FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2015

Currently, as the economy faces downward pressure, the PRC government has adopted a series of macroeconomic policies and reform measures in a timely manner for stabilizing growth, adjusting structure, promoting reforms and benefitting people’s livelihood. Judging from the trend of major economic indicators recently, the policy has shown effect initially. It is anticipated that the recent improvement in the economic situation can extend to the second half of 2015. Various major economic indicators will further stabilize, however the economic downturn pressure still exists. Hard work is still required to ensure realization of the annual growth target.

In terms of the power market, due to the effect of various “micro stimulus” policies of the State, China’s economy will continue to grow steadily. However, owing to the impact of the national industrial structure adjustment, air pollution control and energy saving and emission reduction, electricity demand of the whole society will continue to maintain growth at a medium to low level. With summer time in the third quarter and the arrival of winter in the fourth quarter, the power consumption level of the whole society will rise to a certain extent. However, taking into account of commencement of production of new generating units in various areas, weather, water supply conditions, continuously high temperatures during the summer peaks last year resulting in higher power consumption base and other factors, the growth of nationwide electricity output will still hover at a medium to low level.

In terms of the coal market, due to the overcapacity of coal, slowdown of the PRC economy, replacement by hydropower and other clean energy, there is oversupply of coal during the first half of 2015 and coal prices continued to fall. Coal production will decline due to the suspension of production by certain coal mining enterprises in the second half of the year. However, during the economic structure adjustment period of the State, it is anticipated that there is still abundant supply in the overall coal market due to the combined effects of El Nino, ultra high voltage power transmission and other factors.

In terms of the fund market, the Central Bank has cut interest rates three times and lowered the reserve requirement ratio three times during the first half of the year, and has flexibly used monetary policy tools for open market operations on a number of occasions, and has timely and appropriately conducted precise control according to the need of stabilizing growth and structural adjustment, thus providing a relatively loose monetary policy environment for economic growth. It is anticipated that the stable and relatively loose monetary policy will remain in the second half of the year, and preset tuning and precise control efforts may continue to increase. Accordingly, there will be adequate supply of funds in the overall market. Clean and efficient thermal power and renewable energy will continue to obtain market funds protection and corporate financing costs will be controlled effectively.

During the second half of the year, the Company will continue to focus on safety production, strive to strengthen the management and improve its operation efficiency, reinforce the adjustment in structure and industry synergy, proactively respond to and participate in the reform of power system, and persistently create a long-term, stable and growing return to the shareholders of the Company.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (PREPARED UNDER IFRS)

I.	COMPARISON AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATING RESULTS

Summary

In January 2015, the Company completed the acquisition under common control of the subsidiaries of Huaneng Group Hainan Power, Wuhan Power, Suzhou Co-generation, Dalongtan Hydropower and Hualiangting Hydropower, and the subsidiaries of Huaneng Development Chaohu Power, Ruijin Power, Anyuan Power, Jingmen Co-generation and Yingcheng Co-generation (collectively, the “Newly Acquired Power Plants”). The aforementioned entities are included in the consolidated financial statements.

According to the Company’s preliminary statistics, as of 30 June 2015, the Company’s total power generation within China on consolidated basis has amounted to 159.816 billion kWh, representing an increase of 5.32% over the figure of the same period last year. Total electricity sold by the Company amounted to 150.653 billion kWh, representing an increase of 4.95% over the same period last year.

The Newly Acquired Power Plants of the Company have mainly contributed to the increase in power generation. The decrease compared with the same period last year in power generation of some of the power plants was mainly due to the following reasons:

In the first half of 2015, the nation-wide electricity consumption in China was has experienced an accelerating decline, accompanied by the decline of power generation and utilization hour, which was caused by the slowdown of the Chinese economy and the deepening of China’s economic restructuring.

The commencement of operations of multiple West-to-East UHV transmission lines has squeezed the generation potential of thermal power generators in the coastal region in the southeast of China.

Since the summer this year, the temperature in the southern part of China remained low, and hence the cooling load decreased, the output in hydro-power generation increased and the output of thermal power generation decreased.

The output from the thermal power generating units in Liaoning, Fujian and Zhejiang was affected by the commencement in the operation of large-scaled nuclear power plants in these provinces.

The power generation and electricity sold by each of the Company’s domestic power plants for the first half of 2015 are listed below (in billion kWh):

Note:

The remarks * represent the “Newly Acquired Power Plants” and the relevant figures (which have not been consolidated into the statistics for 2014) are for reference only.

The accumulated power generation of Tuas Power Limited in Singapore, which is wholly owned by the Company, accounted for a market share of 22.4% in Singapore in the first half of 2015, representing an increase of 0.8 percentage point compared to the same period last year (21.6%).

The Company experienced an increase of 1.08% in operating revenue for the first half of 2015 over the same period of last year. The operating costs of the Company for the first half of 2015 decreased by 5.06% year-on-year due to reduced fuel costs within China. The net profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company for the first half of 2015 was RMB8.951 billion, representing an increase of 31.47% over RMB6.808 billion for the same period of last year. Among which, the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company from domestic operations of the Company was RMB9.020 billion, representing a 33.04% increase over the same period of last year. The increase is mainly due to reduced domestic fuel costs, and the profit contribution of the Newly Acquired Power Plants and the operation of new generating units. The net profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company from its operations in Singapore was RMB-70 million, representing a decrease of RMB98 million over the same period last year. This is mainly because of the continued oversupply in Singapore’s power and natural gas generation market as result of commenced operations of many generators during the recent years, which led to a continued reduction of local power tariff and significantly decreased profitability of the Company’s operations in Singapore.

Operating revenue and tax and levies on operations

Operating revenue mainly consists of the revenue received from electricity sold. For the first half of 2015, the consolidated operating revenue of the Company and its subsidiaries has amounted to RMB65.305 billion, representing a 1.08% increase over RMB64.606 billion for the same period last year. The operating revenue from domestic operations of the Company increased by approximately RMB2.811 billion over the same period last year, while the operating revenue from the Newly Acquired Power Plants and operation of new generating units was RMB9.392 billion.

The operating revenue from operations of the Company in Singapore decreased by RMB2.111 billion over the same period last year. The decrease is mainly because of the continued oversupply in Singapore’s power and natural gas generation market, which has led to continued reduction of local power tariff and decreased profitability of the Company’s operations in overseas market.

Tax and levies on operations mainly consist of value-added tax surcharges. According to relevant administrative regulations, these surcharges include the City Construction Tax and Education Tax which are calculated as a prescribed percentage of the amount of the value-added tax payable by the Company. For the first half of 2015, the tax and levies on operations of the Company were RMB0.611 billion, representing an increase of RMB0.122 billion from RMB0.489 billion for the same period last year. This is largely due to the tax and levies on operations (RMB71 million) paid by the Newly Acquired Power Plants.

Operating expenses

For the first half of 2015, the total operating expenses of the Company and its subsidiaries were RMB47.182 billion, representing a decrease of 5.06% over the same period last year. The domestic operating expenses have decreased by RMB0.571 billion, or 1.34%, over the same period of last year, which is largely caused by the reduced domestic fuel cost. The operating expenses from operations in Singapore have lowered by RMB1.946 billion (or 27.39%) over the same period last year, which is mainly due to the decline of fuel costs resulting from decreased natural gas price.

2.1

Fuel costs

Fuel costs represent the largest portion of the operating expenses of the Company and its subsidiaries, which were RMB31.316 billion for the first half of 2015, representing a decrease of 9.41% over the same period last year. The fuel costs from domestic operations of the Company and its subsidiaries decreased by RMB2.205 billion over the same period last year, which is largely due to reduced coal purchase prices. Among the fuel costs from domestic operation of the Company and its subsidiaries, the fuel costs from the Newly Acquired Power Plants and the operation of new generating units were RMB4.511 billion, and the fuel costs from the existing production units decreased RMB6.716 billion over the same period last year. The fuel costs in Singapore decreased by approximately RMB1.048 billion over the same period last year, which is mainly due to decrease in fuel costs resulting from decreased natural gas price.

The profit attributable to equity holders of the Company from its operations in Singapore was RMB-70 million, representing a decrease of RMB98 million over the same period last year. The decrease is mainly because of the continued oversupply in Singapore’s power and natural gas generation market as a result of commenced operations of many generators during the recent years, which has led to continued reduction of local power tariff and significantly decreased profitability of the Company’s operations in Singapore.

As of 30 June 2015, total assets of the Company and its subsidiaries were RMB305.631 billion, representing an increase of 11.07% from RMB275.172 billion as of 31 December 2014, which was mainly due to the business expansion of the Company.

Major financial position ratios

Calculation formula of the financial ratios:

Ratio of liabilities and shareholders’ equity = balance of liabilities at the end of the year/balance of shareholders’ equity (excluding non-controlling interests) at the end of the year

Current ratio = balance of the current assets at the end of the year/balance of current liabilities at the end of the year

Quick ratio = (balance of current assets at the end of the year – net amounts of inventories at the end of the year)/balance of current liabilities at the end of the year

Multiples of interest earned = (profit before tax + interest expenses)/interest expenditure (including capitalized interest)

	The Company and its subsidiaries

Item	As of 30 June 2015		As of 31 December 2014

Ratio of liabilities and shareholders’ equity		2.86		2.71
Current ratio		0.28		0.36
Quick ratio		0.23		0.30

Item	For the six months ended 30 June 2015		For the six months ended 30 June 2014

Multiples of interest earned		4.11		3.72

The ratio of liabilities and shareholders’ equity grew slightly from the beginning of this year. The decrease of current ratio and quick ratio from the beginning of this year was mainly attributable to the decrease in the monetary fund resulting from the payment (RMB9.647 billion) of the acquisition consideration for the “Newly Acquired Power Plants” in the first half of 2015. The multiples of interest earned increased because of the increased pre-tax profit for the first half of 2015.

As of 30 June 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries had net current liabilities of RMB89.56 billion. Based on the successful financing history of the Company, the undrawn banking facilities available to the Company and its good credit rating, the Company believes it would be able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due and secure the funds required for operations. In addition, the Company continued to capitalize on its favorable credit rating and minimized interest expense by offering short-term borrowings with relatively lower interest rates.

VI.	RISK FACTORS

In the second half of 2015, the PBOC will continue to implement a prudent monetary policy, and make timely and moderate fine-tuning to the monetary policy. Most of the Company’s debts are interest bearing debts denominated in RMB, and the change of RMB interest rates will directly affect the Company’s borrowing costs. The Company will keep close watch on market conditions to make reasonable financing arrangements, and explore new financing initiatives to control financing costs while meeting funding requirements. The interest bearing debts denominated in non-RMB currencies are mostly charged with floating interest rates. The Company has hedged approximately half of its debts with floating interest rates by interest rate swap agreements, and the fluctuation of the interest rates on non-RMB currency borrowings will not have material adverse impact on the Company.

The Company had certain debts denominated in U.S. dollar and Euro, and could incur exchange gain or loss from fluctuation of relevant exchange rates. The debts denominated in foreign currencies accounted for less than 3% of the total interest bearing debts of the Company, most of which were denominated in U.S. dollar. As the exchange rate of RMB against U.S. dollar appreciated in the first half of the year, and total amount of debts denominated in foreign currencies accounted small proportion of the total liabilities, the recent fluctuations in exchange rates are not expected to have material adverse impact on the Company.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(Amounts expressed in thousands of RMB unless otherwise stated)

1.	BASIS OF PREPARATION

This unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2015 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. This unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”). This unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information was approved for issue on 25 August 2015.

As at and for the six months ended 30 June 2015, a portion of the Company and its subsidiaries’ funding requirements for capital expenditures were partially satisfied by short-term financing. Consequently, as at 30 June 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries have net current liabilities of approximately Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”) 89.56 billion. Taking into consideration of the expected operating cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries and the undrawn available banking facilities of approximately RMB186 billion as at 30 June 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries are expected to refinance certain of its short term loans and bonds and also consider alternative sources of financing, where applicable and when needed. Therefore, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that the Company and its subsidiaries will be able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due within the next twelve months and accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information are prepared on a going concern basis.

2.	PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Except as described below, the principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those applied in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 described in those annual financial statements.

•

Directors and certain senior management of the Company perform the function as the chief operating decision maker (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 reportable segments of the Company are the PRC power segment, Singapore segment and all other segments (mainly including port and transportation operations). No operating segments have been aggregated to form a reportable segment.

Senior management assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of profit before income tax expense under China Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises (“PRC GAAP”) excluding dividend income received from available-for-sale financial assets and operating results of the centrally managed and resource allocation functions of headquarters (“Segment results”). Other information provided, except as noted below, to the senior management of the Company is measured under PRC GAAP.

Segment assets exclude prepaid income tax, deferred income tax assets, available-for-sale financial assets and assets related to the centrally managed and resource allocation functions of headquarters that are not attributable to any operating segment (“corporate assets”). Segment liabilities exclude current income tax liabilities, deferred income tax liabilities and liabilities related to the centrally managed and resource allocation functions of headquarters that are not attributable to any operating segment (“corporate liabilities”). These are part of the reconciliation to total balance sheet assets and liabilities.

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

The Company completed the acquisition of equity interests of ten companies from Huaneng Group and HIPDC, see Note 13 for details. As the acquisition is a business combination under common control, the transaction is accounted for under merger accounting method under PRC GAAP. The assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations are measured at the carrying amounts of the acquirees on the acquisition date. 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 from the date when the acquirees first became under the control of the same ultimate controlling party. Therefore the relevant comparative figures in the segment information were restated under PRC GAAP while the acquisition is accounted for using acquisition method under IFRS.

Other GAAP adjustments above primarily represented the classification adjustments and other adjustments. Other than the classification adjustments, the differences will be gradually eliminated following subsequent depreciation and amortization of related assets or the extinguishment of liabilities.

(a)

Effect of recording the amounts received in advance of previous years

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

(b)

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

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

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

(c)

Effect of depreciation on the capitalization of borrowing costs in previous years

In previous years, under Previous PRC GAAP, the scope of capitalization of borrowing costs was limited to specific borrowings, and thus, borrowing costs arising from general borrowings were not capitalized. In accordance

with IFRS, the Company and its subsidiaries capitalized borrowing on general borrowing used for the purpose of obtaining qualifying assets in addition to the capitalization of borrowing costs on specific borrowings. From 1 January 2007 onwards, the Company and its subsidiaries adopted PRC GAAP No. 17 prospectively, the current adjustments represent the related depreciation on capitalized borrowing costs included in the cost of related assets under IFRS in previous years.

(d)

Differences in accounting treatment on business combinations under common control

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

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

For the business combination occurred prior to 1 January 2007, in accordance with Previous PRC GAAP, when equity interests acquired is less than 100%, the assets and liabilities of the acquirees are measured at their carrying amounts. The excess of consideration over the proportionate share of the carrying amounts of the net assets acquired was recorded as equity investment difference and amortized on a straight-line basis for not more than 10 years. When acquiring the entire equity, the entire assets and liabilities are accounted for in a method similar to purchase accounting.

Goodwill arising from such transactions is amortized over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. On 1 January 2007, in accordance with PRC GAAP, the unamortized equity investment differences and goodwill arising from business combinations under common control were written off against undistributed profits.

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

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