I.   SUMMARY OF PROVISION FOR INVENTORY IMPAIRMENT, RETIREMENT OF ASSETS AND
     WRITE-OFF OF PRELIMINARY PROJECT EXPENSES
   
     (1) Description and basis of provision for inventory impairment
    
         Pursuant to the requirement under the "Accounting Standards for 
         Enterprises of PRC No. 1 - Inventories", an enterprise is required 
         to conduct impairment testing on inventories as at the end of each 
         period. A provision for impairment of inventories shall be made for 
         inventories whose costs are higher than their net realisable value.

         As at the end of 2013, Inner Mongolia Datang International Xilinhaote 
         Mining Company Limited ("Xilinhaote Mining Company"), a subsidiary of 
         the Company, conducted impairment testing for its coal inventory. The 
         testing result indicates that a provision for inventory impairment 
         should be made for coal No. 4. As at 31 December 2013, the Company 
         contemplated to make a provision for inventory impairment of 
         RMB304,003,900.

     (2) Description and basis of retirement of assets and materials
   
         Pursuant to the requirements of "Administrative Measures for Fixed 
         Assets of China Datang Corporation" and related measures of the 
         Company, Inner Mongolia Datang International Tuoketuo Power Generation 
         Company Limited ("Tuoketuo Power Generation Company") and Hebei Datang 
         International Wangtan Power Generation Company Limited ("Wangtan Power 
         Generation Company") found that certain of their fixed assets and 
         inventory materials were no longer of use value and qualified for 
         retirement after stocktaking process. The retired inventory materials 
         of Tuoketuo Power Generation Company valued at RMB25,528,900 and price 
         inclusive of tax amounted to the total sum of RMB29,868,800. The original 
         cost of retired fixed assets of Wangtan Power Generation Company was 
         RMB57,982,700 while the accumulated depreciation and the net value were
         RMB28,263,600 and RMB29,719,100 respectively.

     (3) Description and basis of write-off of preliminary project expenses
   
         Pursuant to the requirements of "Financial Administrative Measures for
         Preliminary Expenses of Infrastructure Projects of China Datang 
         Corporation" and relevant opinions on office departure auditing 
         promulgated by the National Audit Office, the Company proposed for 
         writing off its preliminary projects with low economic efficiency and 
         which were inconsistent with the development strategy of the Company. 
         Attributable preliminary project expenses incurred by preliminary 
         projects of affiliated enterprises of the Company, amounted to the total 
         sum of RMB115,305,000, were written off accordingly.
