The increase in dividends payable was due to the dividends yet to be paid by Tianjin Datang International Panshan Power Generation Company Limited and Shanxi Datang International Yungang Thermal Power Company Limited. 6.

The entire amount was the impact on the minority interests stated in the financial statement of Hebei Yuzhou Energy Multiple Development Company Limited ('Yuzhou Energy'), a jointly controlled entity of the Company. Under the new accounting standards, jointly controlled entities are no more consolidated into the consolidated financial statements by the proportionate consolidation method, but accounted for by the equity method. As this change is not included in articles 5 to 19 of 'Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 38 - First Adoption of Accounting Standards for Enterprises', it is not reflected as an adjusting item in the 'Table of Reconciliation on Shareholders' Equity Differences Under the New and Old Accounting Standards'. Accordingly, in the 'Table of Reconciliation on Shareholders' Equity Differences Under the New and Old Accounting Standards', the minority interests of Yuzhou Energy was stated as part of the consolidated shareholders' equity; but in the balance sheet as at the beginning of 2007 of this quarterly report, the consolidated shareholders' equity does not include this portion of minority interests. This difference has no impact on the equity attributable to the shareholders' of the parent company. For the unaudited balance sheet as at 31 March 2007, the unaudited 2007 first quarterly profit and loss account (under the PRC GAAP) and the unaudited 2007 first quarterly cash flow statement (under the PRC GAAP), please refer to the Shanghai Stock Exchange website (www.sse.com.cn).
