BUSINESS REVIEW FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR

During the first half of 2016, facing the external structural changes in the State’s economy and the continued reform of the power sector, the Company focused on promoting the quality and efficiency enhancement and upgrading, proactively responding to and participating in the market competition, striving to expand the market, and exercising strict control in costs and expenditure. All the work has achieved comparatively good results, which laid a solid foundation for the completion of the annual target.

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 146.080 billion kWh, representing an decrease of 8.60% from the same period of last year, as well as an electricity sold of 138.075 billion kWh, a decrease of 8.35% from the same period of last year, and 1,839 utilization hours, representing a decrease of 262 hours compared to the same period in the previous year.

The decrease in the power generation was primarily attributable to the following major reasons: 1) the power consumption level of nationwide generally experienced slow growth and the utilization hour decreased; 2) trans-regional power transmission increased significantly, reducing the power generation market of thermal power generating units in Henan, Chongqing, and the southeast coastal regions such as Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong. The Company has a relatively high percentage of thermal power generating units in these regions and thereby was greatly affected; 3) Due to heavy rainfall in the first half of the year, the hydropower generation reduced the power generation market of thermal power in cities of central and eastern China; and 4) the output from the thermal power generation units in below mentioned areas are affected by the 2016 release of the 2015 new capacity of the new nuclear power plants in Liaoning, Guangdong and Fujian combined with the 2016 commencement of new nuclear power plants in Guangdong and Guangxi.

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 21.6%, representing a decrease of 0.8 percentage point compared to the same period last year.

2.	COST CONTROL

In the first half of the year, with orderly progress of China’s coal supply-side structural reform, the production limitation and reduction policy has been strictly implemented in major coal producing areas. The government intensified the inspection on illegal coal mines and closure and suspension of mines. The prices of coal in both coal producing areas and at ports were on the rise, and coal supply and demand became a bit tight. However, the Company fully analysed the market, reinforced and deepened its cooperation with large-sale coal companies, highlighted the bids and price comparison for open-market coal, and at the same time improved coal importation, thereby effectively controlling 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 the environmental protection requirements. At the same time, the Company proposes to implement ultra-low emission reform to generation units in certain areas according to schedule. In the first half of 2016, the Company has completed renovation of 20 generation units, achieving a total of 54 generation units of the Company that meet the standard for ultra-low emission, accounting for 44.3% of units to be renovated in total.

4.	PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION

In the first half of 2016, the Company’s power plants progressed smoothly and the Company’s projects having commenced operation reached a total capacity of 240MW, including the Hubei Yingcheng Cogeneration Unit No. 1 (50MW), the Jiangsu Nanjing Cogeneration Unit No. 1 (50MW), the 25 wind power units with a total capacity of 50MW of Jiangsu Tongshan Wind Farm, the 25 wind power units with a total capacity of 50MW of Anhui Huaining Shijing Wind Farm, the 10MW photovoltaic power units of Liaoning Yingkou Cogeneration, the 10MW photovoltaic power units of Liaoning Dandong Power and the 20MW photovoltaic power units of Hebei Kangbao Xitan Photovoltaic. As of 30 June 2016, the Company had a controlled generation capacity of 82,571 MW and an equity-based generation capacity of 75,403 MW. The proportion of clean energy (gas turbine, hydro-power, wind power and photovoltaic power) reached 12.87%.

PROSPECTS FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2016

Based on the development of the economy, the features of new normal in China’s economy are more obvious. In general, China’s positive economic fundamentals and long-term trajectory remain unchanged. What also remain unchanged is the basic fact that China’s economy possesses strong resilience, great potential and ample room for maneuver; the strong support and conditions favorable for continued growth; and the forward movement of the country’s economic restructuring and upgrading. The economic performance is generally stable. The fundamentals of Chinese economy and the overall financial market also remain stable. The supply-side structural reform achieved new progress. However, the transition from traditional to new engines will still take time. Much work is still required to ensure the realization of the annual growth target.

In terms of the power market, China’s power market reform continues to grow steadily. In the second half of the year, the economic growth and growth of electricity demand will remain stable, newly installed power generation will maintain a large scale, and there will be a surplus in the capacity of overall national electricity supply. The Company will reinforce communication and coordination with all levels of governments and the grid companies, actively participate in electricity reforms, place more effort to analyse the market situation, seize market opportunities, and maintain and expand market shares.

In terms of the coal market, with further progress in supply-side structural reform, the seasonal demand of coal will soar up in the second half of this year. The coal supply will be comparatively tight with continued upward condition. However, with rising prices, some small and medium mines will have more momentum to restore production, coal supply will increase, and coal supply and demand will reach a new equilibrium. The Company will increase market analysis, reinforce cooperation with large-scale coal companies, actively explore new supply channels, strengthen coal price benchmarking with peers, and strictly control fuel costs.

In terms of the fund market, effective on 1 March 2016, the central bank lowered its reserve requirement ratio for financial institutions by 0.5 percentage point, and has flexibly used monetary policy tools for open market operations on a number of occasions, keeping liquidity in capital market, thus providing a relatively loose monetary policy environment for economic growth. It is anticipated that the stable monetary policy will remain in the second half of the year, and preset tuning control will be timely conducted. This will lead to a steady and moderate growth of monetary credit and social financing scale. Accordingly, there will be adequate supply of funds in the overall market, which will create a conductive environment for the Company to optimize the debt structure and effectively control corporate financing costs.

The Company will continue to focus on safety production, quality and efficiency, accelerate structural adjustment of power supply, and strive to improve its operation efficiency, proactively participate in the reform of power system and cope with market changes, and persistently create a long-term, stable and growing return to shareholders of the Company.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (PREPARED UNDER IFRS)

I.	COMPARISON AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATING RESULTS

Summary

According to the preliminary statistics of the Company, for the second quarter of 2016, the Company’s total power generation by the power plants within China on consolidated basis amounted to 69.220 billion kWh, representing a decrease of 10.43% over the same period last year. Total electricity sold by the Company amounted to 65.351 billion kWh, representing a decrease of 10.06% over the same period last year. In the first half of 2016, the Company’s total power generation by the power plants within China on consolidated basis amounted to 146.080 billion kWh, representing a decrease of 8.60% over the same period last year. Total electricity sold by the Company amounted to 138.075 billion kWh, representing a decrease of 8.35% over the same period last year. In the first half of 2016, the Company’s average on-grid electricity settlement price for its power plants within China amounted to RMB394.46 per MWh, representing a decrease of 12.37% over the same period last year.

The decrease in the Company’s power generation in the first half of the year was mainly attributable to the following factors: (1) the nationwide low growth in power consumption and a decrease in utilization hours; (2) the substantial increase of cross-regional power transmission squeezed the generation potential of the coal-fired power generators in Henan, Chongqing and the southeast coastal areas (e.g. Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong), which accounted for a relatively high proportion in the Company’s total power generation capacities; (3) due to heavy rainfall in the first half of the year, the power generation of nationwide large-scale hydro-power plants increased by 16.7% compared to the same period of last year, which reduced the output of coal-fired power plants located in the central and eastern China; (4) the newly installed capacity in Guangdong and Guangxi in 2016, combined with the commencement of operations of new nuclear power generators in Liaoning, Guangdong and Fujian installed in 2015, had a negative impact on the output of coal-fired power units in these regions.

The power generation (in billion kWh) by each of the Company’s domestic power plants is listed below:

For the second half of 2016, the PBOC will continue implementing prudent monetary policies and make timely and fine-tuned adjustment to benchmark borrowing and lending interest rates. 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, 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. Although U.S. dollar appreciated against RMB during the first half of 2016, the recent fluctuations in exchange rates are not expected to have material adverse impact on the Company due to limited amount of its borrowings denominated in foreign currencies.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Information

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

(Amounts expressed in thousands of RMB unless otherwise stated)

1.	COMPANY ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the “Company” or “HPI”) 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 Huaneng Building, 6 Fuxingmennei Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, the PRC. The Company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the generation and sale of electric power to the respective regional or provincial grid companies in the PRC and in the Republic of Singapore (“Singapore”). The Company conducts its business in Singapore through SinoSing Power Pte. Ltd. (“SinoSing Power”) and its subsidiaries.

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. HIPDC does not produce financial statements available for public use.

2.	BASIS OF PREPARATION

This unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information was approved for issue on 2 August 2016.

As at and for the six months ended 30 June 2016, 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 2016, the Company and its subsidiaries have net current liabilities of approximately Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”) 84.62 billion. Taking into consideration of the expected operating cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries and the undrawn available banking facilities of approximately RMB217.1 billion as at 30 June 2016, 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.

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 assets and liabilities of statement of financial position.

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.

(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).

6.	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Cont’d)

Total liabilities	–	1,304,941	–	1,304,941

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices on the date of financial position. 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. Instrument included in level 1 represents an equity investment classified as available for sale.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. 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.

6.	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Cont’d)

(i)

Fair value measurements (Cont’d)

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 during the six months ended 30 June 2016.

(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 approximated 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 RMB74.03 billion and RMB20.82 billion as at 30 June 2016 (31 December 2015: RMB78.31 billion and RMB23.15 billion), respectively. The aggregate book value of these liabilities was approximately RMB 74.18 billion and RMB20.47 billion as at 30 June 2016 (31 December 2015: RMB78.38 billion and RMB22.74 billion), respectively.

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-related 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 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 transactions have been adequately disclosed.

In addition to the related party information shown elsewhere in this unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information, 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 period.

Financial Statements Reconciliation between PRC GAAP and IFRS

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

	Consolidated net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company For the six months ended 30 June		Total equity attributable to equity holders of the Company
			As at 30	As at 31
	2016	2015	June 2016	December 2015

Consolidated net profit/equity attributable to equity holders of the Company under PRC GAAP	6,292,313	9,058,576	79,565,541	79,408,970

Impact of IFRS adjustments:
Effect of reversal of the recorded the amounts received in advance of previous years (a)	23,511	97,261	–	(23,511)
Amortization of the difference in the recognition of housing benefits of previous years (b)	(470)	(470)	(138,993)	(138,523)
Difference on depreciation related to borrowing costs capitalized in previous years (c)	(13,508)	(13,508)	222,993	236,501
Differences in accounting treatment on business combinations under common control and depreciation and amortization of assets acquired in business combinations under common control (d)	(238,179)	(258,898)	5,283,649	5,521,828
Others	6,915	(99,374)	(222,704)	(220,738)
Applicable deferred income tax impact of the GAAP differences above (e)	61,936	64,435	440,210	378,274
Profit/Equity attributable to non-controlling interests on the adjustments above	44,322	102,762	(976,874)	(1,020,853)

Consolidated net profit/equity attributable to equity holders of the Company under IFRS	6,176,840	8,950,784	84,173,822	84,141,948

(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.

(E)	DEFERRED INCOME TAX IMPACT ON GAAP DIFFERENCES

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