During the Period, the PRC's economy maintained steady rapid growth,
with a year-on-year 11.1% Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth reported.
Both power generation and power consumption nationwide showed
accelerated growth. Newly installed generating units continued to be
of relatively large scale and their structure continued to improve;
nationwide capability to supply power was sufficient; and the
cumulative average utilisation hours of power generating facilities
was 190 hours higher as compared to the Corresponding Period Last Year.
Overally speaking, power supply and demand in the PRC was balanced in
general. According to relevant information, during the Period,
nationwide installed capacity of power plants with generation capacity
of 6,000 kW or above grew by approximately 11.6% year-on-year; social
power consumption increased by 21.57% over the previous year, while
nationwide power generation increased by approximately 19.3% over the
previous year.
During the Period, the Group seized the opportunities of the upward
economic trend and the recovery of the power market, while continuing
steadfastly the implementation of the development strategy of
"pursuing the power generation business as its core development whilst
complementing with synergistic diversifications", and pushed forward
power-related upstream and downstream projects such as coal mining,
coal chemical, railway construction and shipping at a steady pace in
accordance with plans. The Group, with reference to changes in the
State policies and the market environment, took initiatives in
tackling the changes and making prompt responses, while ensuring
steady, safe and orderly production and operation management. As a
result, the Group achieved a significant growth in profit over the
Corresponding Period Last Year.

B. Management's Review on the Consolidated Operating Results
Improved Effectiveness in operational management
During the Period, the Company was still under the impact of
unfavourable factors such as persistently high fuel coal prices. Faced
with such tough operating environment, the Company kept abreast of the
trends of the market while taking initiatives in planning budgets,
strengthening internal management and at the same time creating a
favourable external environment, thereby rigorously enhancing
production and operation:
(1) Through timely adjustments of the power generation evaluation system,
management accountability was implemented level-by-level, and the
target of power generation was achieved. Consolidated utilisation
hours accumulated to 2,304 hours, representing a year-on-year increase
of 66 hours;
(2) The Company executed its development strategies through strengthening
its capital operation. The non-public issuance of A shares to specific
parties was completed by 23 March 2010. After completion of the
issuance, the total share capital of the Company increased from
11,780,037,578 shares to 12,310,037,578 shares and the net funds
raised amounted to RMB3,248,246,600. The Group successfully acquired
Baoli Company, which pertains to a designed production capacity of 1.2
million tonnes per year, thereby increasing the self-sufficiency ratio
for coal consumption for the Company's power plants;
(3) In order to effectively utilise the functions of resources allocation
in the capital market, satisfy the capital needs arising from the
rapid development of the Company and foster a successful
implementation of the investment projects of the Company so as to
enhance the Company's profitability, the Company planned to issue not
more than 1 billion non-public A-shares within the current year, with
an issue price not lower than RMB6.74 per share (As the Company has
distributed the 2009 final dividend of RMB0.07 per share in July 2010,
the issue price was adjusted from RMB6.81 per share to RMB6.74 per
share). To date, such proposal has been considered and approved by the
Board and the general meeting of the Company as well as the State-
Owned Asset Supervisory and Administration Commission of the PRC (the
"SASAC"), and the China Securities Regulatory Commission has accepted
the application of the current non-public issue of A shares and is
undergoing its approval procedures at present.

incentive system for the senior management of its subordinated
enterprises based on assessments of capital operations, safe
production and improved CPS's anti-corruption work. The Group is
concerned about personal growth and occupational training. It
implements a reward mechanism of "unification of training, usage and
remuneration". Based on the basic principles of "identifying targets
scientifically and providing training depending on actual needs", and
led by the strategy of developing a strong corporation with strong
talents, the Group relies on a three-tier management organisational
structure and implements an all-staff training scheme for various
levels.
C. Outlook for the Second Half of 2010
In the second half of 2010, the aftermath of the global financial
crisis will still linger. Although the domestic economy has been
developing along the expected direction of the State's macro-economic
controls, it still faces the risk of a relapse. The Group, therefore,
has a daunting task on maintaining stable and healthy development and
is faced with both opportunities and challenges.
In the first half of the year, as the macro-economy of the PRC was
gradually recovering, power demand has shown a rapid growth after
recovery. Growth rate for the whole year is expected to maintain at a
high level. In view of the current tough energy-saving environment,
continued implementation of strict energy-saving and consumption
lowering policies, and the State's adjustment of the energy structure,
the growth rate of power demand by high-energy consumption industries
such as the iron and steel and cement industries may slow. However,
there is still hope that the growth rate for the whole year will
maintain at a relatively high level. Although social power consumption
will experience a first-high-then-low growth trend, thermal coal supply
is expected to remain basically stable. However, there remains
uncertain factors such as coal supply shortage and a surge in thermal
coal prices.
Faced with a difficult operating environment, the Group will continue
to implement an overall strategy that focuses on "pursuing the power
generation business as its core development whilst complementing with
synergistic diversifications". The Company will do its utmost to
achieve the production and operation targets for 2010 with a persistent
focus on profitability and safe production. It will actively expand its
room for development and strengthen its marketing and sales efforts by
fully leveraging its advantages in resources, scale, geographical
distribution and costs. While pursuing success in its core power
business, it will also pursue excellence in non-power businesses. It
will exercise stringent cost controls and strive to contain unit fuel
cost increase, with a view to enhancing the profitability of the
Company.
In the second half of 2010, the Group will focus on the following tasks:
(1) To strengthen production safety as the foundation of the Company
and endeavour to be a company with safety as its character.
(2) To expand income while reducing expenditures so as to enhance the
profitability of the Company.
(3) To actively pursue structural adjustments so as to raise quality
and profitability throughout the Company.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2010
(Amounts expressed in thousands of Renminbi unless otherwise stated)
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting"
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and the
applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of
Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
At 30 June 2010, a significant portion of the funding requirements of
the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the
"Group") for capital expenditures was satisfied by short-term
borrowings. Consequently, at 30 June 2010, the Group had a net current
liabilities of approximately RMB22,135 million (At 31 December 2009:
RMB24,714 million). The Group had significant undrawn borrowing
facilities, subject to certain conditions, amounting to approximately
RMB192.12 billion (At 31 December 2009: RMB169.00 billion) and may
refinance and/or restructure certain short-term borrowings into long-
term borrowings and will also consider alternative sources of financing,
where applicable. The directors of the Company are of the opinion that
the Group will be able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall
due within the next twelve months and have prepared these financial
statements on a going concern basis.
These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the 2009 annual financial statements. The accounting policies and
methods of computation used in the preparation of these condensed
financial statements are consistent with those used in the annual
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009 except as
stated below.
2. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
In the current period, the Group has adopted all the new and revised
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to its
operations and effective for its accounting year beginning on 1 January
2010. IFRSs comprise International Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS"); International Accounting Standards ("IAS"); and
Interpretations. The adoption of these new and revised IFRSs did not
result in significant changes to the Group's accounting policies,
presentation of the Group's financial statements and amounts reported
for the current period and prior years except as stated below.
a. Business Combinations
IFRS 3 (Revised) "Business Combinations" continues to require
acquisition method to be applied to business combinations with some
significant changes:
-- Contingent consideration is recognised at its acquisition-date
fair value and forms part of the cost of acquisition. The
previous IFRS 3 requires that a contingent consideration be
recognised if it is probable and can be measured reliably.
-- In a business combination achieved in stages, the previously held
equity interest in the subsidiary is remeasured at its
acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gain or loss is
recognised in consolidated profit or loss. The fair value is
added to the cost of acquisition to calculate goodwill. The
previous IFRS 3 does not have a requirement for such fair value
measurement.
-- There is a choice to measure initially the non-controlling
interests in a subsidiary either at their acquisition-date fair
value or the non-controlling shareholders' proportionate share of
the net fair value of the subsidiary's identifiable assets and
liabilities at the acquisition date. The previous IFRS 3 only
allows the latter choice.
-- If a business combination is accounted for using provisional
amounts, the measurement period that the provisional amounts can
be adjusted retrospectively is limited to one year from the
acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts
and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if
known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts
recognised as of that date. The previous IFRS 3 does not have a
time limit for adjustments in relation to contingent
considerations and deferred tax assets. Subsequent adjustments to
contingent considerations and deferred tax assets will adjust
goodwill.
-- Acquisition-related costs are recognised as expenses in the
periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are
received. The previous IFRS 3 requires that acquisition-related
costs form part of the cost of a business combination.
IFRS 3 (Revised) has been applied prospectively to business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after 1 January
2010 and resulted in changes in the consolidated amounts reported in
the financial statements as follows:
At 30 June 2010 At 31 December 2009
Decrease in goodwill (3,090) --
============= =============
Six months ended 30 June
2010 2009
Increase in operating costs
- others 3,090 --
Decrease in earnings per
share (RMB) 0.0003 --
============= =============
b. Classification of Land Leases
Amendments to IAS 17 "Leases" deleted the guidance in IAS 17 that
when the land has an indefinite economic life, the land element is
normally classified as an operating lease unless title is expected
to pass to the lessee by the end of the lease term.
The adoption of the amendments to IAS 17 has resulted in a change in
accounting policy for the classification of leasehold land of the
Group. Previously, leasehold land was classified as an operating
lease and stated at cost less accumulated amortisation. In
accordance with the amendments, leasehold land is classified as a
finance lease and stated at cost less accumulated depreciation if
substantially all risks and rewards of the leasehold land have been
transferred to the Group. As the present value of the minimum lease
payments (i.e. the transaction price) of the land held by the Group
amounted to substantially all of the fair value of the land as if it
were freehold, the leasehold land of the Group has been classified
as a finance lease. The amendments have been applied retrospectively
to unexpired leases at the date of adoption of the amendments on the
basis of information existing at the inception of the leases.
Amendments to IAS 17 have been applied retrospectively and resulted
in changes in the consolidated amounts reported in the financial
statements as follows:
At 30 June 2010 At 31 December 2009
Increase in property, plant
and equipment 1,923,750 1,523,508
Decrease in land use rights (1,923,750) (1,523,508)
============= =============
The Group has not applied the other new IFRSs that have been issued but
are not yet effective. The Group has already commenced an assessment of
the impact of these new IFRSs but is not yet in a position to state
whether these new IFRSs would have a material impact on its results of
operations and financial position.
3. COMMON CONTROL BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

based on a measure of profit before tax prepared under the People's
Republic of China ("PRC") accounting standards.
Segment assets exclude deferred income tax assets and available-for-
sale investments. Segment liabilities exclude the current income tax
liabilities and deferred income tax liabilities. Sales between
operating segments are marked to market or contracted close to market
price and have been eliminated at consolidation level. Unless otherwise

(b) Significant transactions with other state-owned enterprises
State-owned enterprises and their subsidiaries, other than entities
under China Datang (also a state-owned enterprise), directly or
indirectly controlled by the PRC government are also defined as
related parties of the Group in accordance with IAS 24 "Related
Party Disclosures".
Given that the PRC government still owns a significant portion of
the productive assets in the PRC despite the continuous reform of
the government structures, the majority of the business activities
of the Group are conducted with enterprises directly or indirectly
owned or controlled by the PRC government ("other state-owned
enterprises"), including China Datang and its subsidiaries, jointly
controlled entities and associates in the normal course of business.
For the purpose of the related party transactions disclosure, the
Group has established procedures to determine, to the extent
possible, the identification of the ownership structure of their
customers and suppliers as to whether they are state-owned
enterprises. However, many state-owned enterprises have multi-
layered corporate structures and the ownership structures change
over time as a result of transfers and privatisation programs.
Nevertheless, management believes that all material related party
transactions have been adequately disclosed.

======= =======
(a) Difference in the commencement of depreciation of property, plant
and equipment
This represents the depreciation difference arose from the
different timing of the start of depreciation charge in previous
years.
(b) Difference in accounting treatment on monetary housing benefits
Under PRC GAAP, the monetary housing benefits provided to
employees who started work before 31 December 1998 were directly
deducted from the retained earnings and statutory public welfare
fund after approval by the general meeting of the Company and its
subsidiaries.
Under IFRS, these benefits are recorded as deferred assets and
amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated service
lives of relevant employees.
(c) Difference in accounting treatment on mining funds
Under PRC GAAP, accrual of future development and work safety
expenses are included in respective product cost or current period
profit or loss and recorded in a specific reserve accordingly.
When such future development and work safety expenses are applied
and related to revenue expenditures, specific reserve is directly
offset when expenses incurred. When capital expenditures are
incurred, they are included in construction-in-progress and
transferred to fixed assets when the related assets reach the
expected use condition. They are then offset against specific
reserve based on the amount included in fixed assets while
corresponding amount is recognised in accumulated depreciation.
Such fixed assets are not depreciated in subsequent periods.
Under IFRS, coal mining companies are required to set aside an
amount to a fund for future development and work safety through
transferring from retained earnings to restricted reserve. When
qualifying revenue expenditures are incurred, such expenses are
recorded in statement of comprehensive income as incurred. When
capital expenditures are incurred, an amount is transferred to
property, plant and equipment and is depreciated in accordance
with the depreciation policy of the Group. Internal equity items
transfers take place based on the actual application amount of
future development and work safety expenses whereas restricted
reserve is offset against retained earnings to the extent of zero.
(d) Applicable deferred income tax impact on the above GAAP
differences
This represents the deferred income tax effect on the above GAAP
differences where applicable.
