LETTER FROM THE BOARD

   
According to the Measures for the Supervision and Administration over the Trading of State-owned Assets in Enterprises, an assets valuation is required to be conducted against each of the Target Companies. The Base Date of the asset valuation reports was 31 May 2016, and complied with the requirement of the Interim Measures for the Administration of Assessment of State-owned Assets of Enterprises which requires the validity period of such valuation report to be within one year from its base date. Given that the valuation result of each of the Target Companies is one of the factors (but not the sole determining factor) considered by the Company in arriving at the Consideration of the Transfers. Taking into account the various factors and the relevant revaluation, the Company is of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable.
     
Method of Payment:
 
The Company will pay the consideration by way of cash with its own funds.

Adjustment of the Consideration:
 
If Shandong Power, in accordance with the “Agreement on the Transfer of All the Assets of Rizhao Construction Heat Power Company Limited at Nil Consideration to Huaneng Shandong Power Generation Co., Ltd.” with the People’s Government of Rizhao Municipal entered into on 13 April 2016, transfers the assets contemplated by such agreement to Shandong Power or its subsidiaries at nil consideration prior to the Completion Date, such assets will form part of the Transfers.

After the issue of specific audit report according to the agreement, Huaneng Group should compensate the Company in cash for the differences between the accumulated Actual Net Profit and the accumulated forecast net profit at the end of the period of Each Profit Forecast Company as in the specific audit report. If the accumulated Actual Net Profit for Each Profit Forecast Company at the end of the compensation period is equal to or higher than the accumulated forecasted net profit at the end of the compensation period, then Huaneng Group is not required to compensate the Company (namely, the compensation payable for the relevant period is 0), nor is the Company required to compensate Huaneng Group.
     
Calculation of compensation amount:
 
The compensation amount for Each Profit Forecast Company at the relevant period = the equity interest directly or indirectly held by Huaneng Group in such Profit Forecast Company x 80% (the equity interest in Shandong Power transferred by Huaneng Group in the Transfer) x the accumulated forecasted net profit at the relevant period during the compensation period for such Profit Forecast Company - the equity interest directly or indirectly held by Huaneng group in such Profit Forecast Company x 80% (the equity interest in Shandong Power transferred by Huaneng Group in the Transfer) x the accumulated Actual Net Profit at the relevant period during the compensation period for such Profit Forecast Company - paid compensation.
     
   
The total cash compensation made by Huaneng Group at the relevant time during the compensation period shall be equal to the aggregate amount of cash compensation of Each Profit Forecast Company.
     
   
For each year during the compensation period, Huaneng Group should pay the Company a cash compensation as calculated in accordance with the method as set out above within 20 business days after the disclosure of the specific audit report of the relevant year during the compensation period.
     
Effectiveness:
 
Upon signing by both parties and the completion of the Transfers under the Transfer Agreement
     
Liability for breach of agreement:
 
If Huaneng Group does not fully compensate the Company in time in accordance with the agreement, the Company has the right to demand Huaneng Group to immediately fulfil its obligations, and claim against Huaneng Group for the breach of agreement.

Summary of income approach

The income type adopted by this assessment is all the free cash flow generated by all the capital of the enterprise. The free cash flow is equal to the interest-free net profit (after tax) of the enterprise (that is, the total amount of profit of the Company without interest income less the actual amount paid for income tax) plus non cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization less the remainder of additional contributions to the operator capital appoint capital expense. This product is the total amount of cash flow (after tax) generated by the Company which can be distributed to the contributors of the capital of the Company including creditors and shareholders.

Total value of shareholders equity = corporate value-liabilities with interest

Corporate value = operating assets value + overage assets value + non-operating assets value + long-term equity investment value

Liabilities with interest, including short-term borrowing, bills payable with interest, long-term borrowing falling due within a year and long-term borrowing, refers to the debts which need to pay interest in the book of enterprise evaluated on the valuation base date.

Operating assets value

Productive assets refer to assets and liabilities which related to entities evaluated’ production management and that free cash flow estimation involves after valuation base date. The formula of operating assets value is as follows:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
 
 
among which:
P: operating assets value on valuation base date;

Ri: estimated free cash flow in the ith year after valuation base date;

Rn+1: estimated free cash flow in the last year of forecast period;

r: discount rate, determined by weighted average cost of capital;

n: forecast period;

Calculation of estimated free cash flow (Ri):
 
Estimated free cash flow in the ith year = earnings before interest and tax × (1- income tax rate) + depreciation and amortization – capital expenditure - additional working capital amount

Income from power generation constitutes most of the income of power plants. The indicators that have a bigger impact on the income from power generation are the on-grid tariffs and utilisation rates, in particular:

 
1)
On-grid tariffs

According to the “Notice in relation to Reducing the On-grid Tariffs for Coal Power Generation and the Price of Electricity for General Industrial and Commercial Use” (Faigai Jiage [2015] No. 3105) issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and the benchmark price of electricity for Shandong Province, since 2016, the benchmark on-grid tariff (including desulfuration, denitration and dust elimination) was RMB0.3729/KWhr (inclusive of tax). The price for the generators conforming to ultra-low emission standards was RMB0.3829/KWhr (inclusive of tax). The actual on-grid benchmark tariffs and green electricity tariffs of each power plant are basing on the tariff approved by the Pricing Bureau of Shandong Province:

2)
Generation hours

In 2015, affected by the importation of power, and that supply was greater than demand in the power industry, the power generation amount was reduced compared against 2014. According to the latest business directives for assessed companies, the power generation amount in 2016 is forecasted to continue to reduce. It is forecasted that the generation hours may reduce slightly in 2018 and gradually stabilise from 2019 onwards. The trend for the generation hours for each power plant is the same, save for variations as a result of partial grid adjustments etc.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The main cost is fuel cost, mainly reflected in coal consumption and unit costs. The particular assessment criteria is as follows:

 
1)
Coal consumption

Coal consumption for power generation is one of the important assessment indicators for thermal power plants. Each power plant continuously conducts technical improvement, with a decrease in coal consumption each year in the past years. A portion of the power plants have coal consumption levels better than the industry average and are in leading positions.

The forecast for the coal consumption during the forecast period for the assessed companies mainly made reference to the historical coal consumption levels.

 
2)
Coal price

Coal price is affected by market prices and fuel coal price. In recent years, the price of coal had continuously stayed low, the procurement costs for power plants have been reducing each year. Affected by factors in 2016 such as the reduction in production capacity of the coal and charcoal industry, the prices of coal and charcoal showed a rising trend. This forecast is based on the financial forecasts from companies in recent years and recent procurement data, with the rise in coal and charcoal prices in consideration. The coal price during the forecast period of June 2016 to December 2016 is based on the coal prices upon arrival at each respective power plant during January 2016 to August 2016 and the loss on entering the furnace, and with an increase rate of 1% per year for the years following until stabilisation.

The forecast for other costs such as inspection and maintenance costs, management costs etc all made reference to the historical levels of companies.

About discount rates

In relation to the selection of discount rates, the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) was adopted. The WACC model can be expressed by the following formula:

WACC= Ke×[E÷(D+E)]+Kd×(1-T)×[D÷(D+E)]

Where:                   Ke = Cost of equity capital

E = The market value of equity capital


 
- 39 -

 

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

D = The market value of debt capital

Kd = Cost of debt capital

T = Income tax rate

Calculation of cost of equity is made by using Capital and Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”):

Ke=Rf+β×(Rm-Rf)+Rc

 
Where:
Rf = Risk-free yield

β = Index of equity risk

Rm-Rf = Equity risk premiums (“ERP”)

Rc = Enterprise-specific risks

 
1.
Risk-free yield

Treasury bond yields are commonly deemed as risk-free. It can be excluded from calculation as there is minimal risk of failing to redeem upon maturity. Risk-free yield is based on treasury bonds with years to maturity of 10 years or longer on the valuation base date (or recently).

 
2.
Index of equity risk

The relevant data of the comparable listed companies are selected according to the business features of the assessed company against comparable Shanghai and Shenzhen A share listed companies with the same or similar business as the assessed companies obtained through the WIND information system.

 
3.
Equity risk premiums

Equity risk premiums reflect the risk compensation required by investors due to investing in capital markets with higher risks (compared to bond markets with lower risks). On one hand, China’s history of stock market development is relatively shorter, and that the speculative atmosphere in the market was intense, and that there is higher level of volatility. On the other hand, China currently has a stricter resolution over foreign exchange for capital projects in addition to the unique share fragmentation on the Chinese market. Hence, directly determining the equity risk premiums based on historical data is unreliable, as opposed to a developed market, which has longer historical data and where the equity risk premiums could be directly determined based on historical data.

1)
Appraisal methods for long-term equity investment enterprises

For main power plants of long-term equity investment enterprises, assets- based method and income method are adopted for evaluation:

The assets-based method is for assets reorganization and reconstruction with reflection to current reset value of enterprises; income method is for the future profitability of enterprises, aiming to reflect the aggregate profitability of each asset.

According to the Asset Valuation Standards and the Guidelines for Valuation Report of State-owned Assets, if various appraisal methods are adopted for the same target, it requests analysis of conclusion for initial value, and a reasonable evaluation conclusion should be formed basing on comprehensive consideration for various appraisal methodsthe reasonability of the initial value conclusion as well as both quality and quantity of relevant data.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In November 2015, all units of Rizhao Power Plant successfully passed the completion acceptance of environmental protection organized by Environmental Protection Department of Shandong Province. Rizhao Power Plant became the first power generation enterprise with all units passing the acceptance of ultra-low emissions.

In December 2015, No. 5 Generating Unit of Shandong Linyi Power Plant started successfully in the first time upon the completion of high back-pressure heating transformation, and operated in series of high back-pressure heating circulating water with No. 6 Generating Unit, which realized the first operation of two 140,000 kW generating units in series of high back-pressure heating circulating water. Through technology novelty search, this technology is industry-leading.

On 24 December 2015, No. 6 Generating Unit of Wulai Power Plant successfully finished the trial operation with full load for 168 hours, marking the formal operation of the first 1000 MW ultra-supercritical secondary reheating unit in Shandong Power and Shandong Province. The generating unit adopts the most advanced secondary intermediate reheating technology in the world, and mainly improves the efficiency by increasing the thermal cycling times. It is the most environment-friendly thermal power generating unit with highest efficiency, minimum energy consumption and optimal indexes. During the trial operation, both the major and auxiliary equipment of the generating unit operates safely and stably. Dedusting, desulfurization and denitration facilities are put in operation together with the main work. The emission concentrations of Sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and dust are 10, 15 and 1.5 mg/m3, all superior to the ultra-low emission standards in Shandong, thus realizing the ultra-clean emission.

Shandong Power plans to complete the transformation of ultra-low emission technology for all generating units at the end of 2017, and other energy-saving renovation projects are also executed as planned. Therefore, the Company has a relatively strong advantage over environmental protection and energy saving.

In light of the above, under the guarantee of national policy and the continuous growth of power market in Shandong, the total installed capacity of Shandong Power constantly grows, and the environmental protection and energy saving technology are improved gradually, all providing powerful safeguard for the production, operations and profitability of each power plant in the future. Therefore, an appreciation is valued.

According to the arrangements under the relevant agreements, in relation to the financings or guarantees provided to the Target Companies by Huaneng Group, both parties agree that, unless otherwise agreed, such financing or guarantee will continue to be performed until those agreements are completed. After the completion of the Transaction, the transactions entered into between the Target Companies and the connected persons of the Company including Huaneng Group, will be budgeted and reviewed in accordance with the connected transactions monitoring system of the Company. The transactions entered into between the Target Companies and the connected persons of the Company following the Completion of the Transaction will also comply with the Chapter 14A requirements of the Hong Kong Listing Rules where applicable.

The Company has been strictly separate from Huaneng Group in terms of assets and financial matters. The Transfers will not cause any change to such separation and independence of the Company. The Company will further separate the Huaneng Group employees in the Target Companies from Huaneng Group as soon as possible after Completion in accordance with the applicable PRC laws, regulations and rules. The Company will finance the Transfers with internal resources. The Transfers will help further reduce the potential competition between the Company and its connected persons relating to the business currently conducted by the existing power plants.

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES IN RELATION TO TRANSFER OF ASSETS AT PREMIUM

The valuation results of certain Target Companies and their subsidiaries (as shown in the table below) are at a premium of above 100% of the book value. The high premium in the valuation result of Shandong Power is mainly attributable to the following factors: (1) Shandong province has a developed economy and a power mix that mainly relies on thermal power, while Shandong Power is the largest power generation company in the province, whose installed capacity secures a strong competitive edge in the market in terms of both scale and market share. Also, Shandong Power owns some important power plants under unified management within the Shandong power grid and over half of its installed capacities are cogeneration units, which makes it a major heat supplier with good economic benefits on the local market; (2) The increase in the value of Jilin Power is mainly due to appreciation of valuation of fixed assets under asset based approach; (3) the increase in the value of the Heilongjiang Power is mainly due to the relatively lower book value of Huaneng Hegang Power Generation Limited and Huaneng Xinhua Power Generation Limited given their early establishment; and (4) The increase in value of Zhongyuan CCGT is not huge, but the relatively high debt-to-assets ratio and low net assets of Zhongyuan CCGT together lead to a premium of over 100% of the book value.

According to and for the purpose of complying with the Guidelines of the Shanghai Stock Exchange for the Implementation of the Connected Transactions of Listed Companies and other relevant PRC laws and regulations, KPMG Huazhen LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP respectively issued the reports on examination of profit forecast for 2016 and 2017 in relation to the Target Companies and their subsidiaries whose valuation results are at a premium of above 100% of the book value.

Waiver in relation to A Share Profit Forecast Prepared Under PRC Laws and Regulations

Pursuant to the Guidelines of the Shanghai Stock Exchange for the Implementation of the Connected Transactions of Listed Companies and other relevant PRC laws and regulations, the Target Companies have prepared profit forecast reports (“A Share Profit Forecast”) for those companies whose valuation results are at a premium of 100% or above over their book value, which have been reviewed by KPMG Huazhen LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP.

The A Share Profit Forecast are regarded as the profit forecast under Rule 14.61 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. The Company has applied to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has granted, waivers from strict compliance with the requirements under the Rules 14.62, 14A.70(13), 14A.68(7) and paragraph 29(2) of Appendix 1B of the Hong Kong Listing Rules on the following grounds:

 
(i)
the A Share Profit Forecast was required to comply with the PRC laws and regulations;

 
(ii)
the A Share Profit Forecast was prepared by the Target Companies where the Company has no involvement in the preparation;

 
(iii)
the A Share Profit Forecast was irrelevant in the determination of the Consideration of the Transaction by the Board (for which the Board has taken into consideration various factors as set out in this circular under the section headed “Consideration”);

 
(iv)
there are practical difficulties for the Company’s auditor or reporting accountant to confirm on the accounting policies because the A Share Profit Forecast was prepared based on accounting standard which is different from the Company’s, and for the financial adviser to render an opinion as required under the Hong Kong Listing Rules because the Directors did not prepare the A Share Profit Forecast; and

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

 
(v)
full compliance with Rule 14.62, Rule 14A.70(13), 14A.68(7) and paragraph 29(2)of Appendix 1B of the Hong Kong Listing Rules will be practically burdensome and commercially not feasible for the Company.

For information purpose, the Company has included disclosures of the assumptions in respect of the A Share Profit Forecast in Appendix IV to this circular.

 
K.
PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION AND THE EFFECT ON THE COMPANY

The Transaction implements Huaneng Group’s committment to avoid business competition with the Company in line with the Non-compete Undertaking. This is conducive to further expanding scale, increasing the market share and improve the competitiveness of the Company. The Non-compete Undertaking was provided specifically in line with the requirements under the “Regulatory Guidelines for Listed Companies No.4 – Undertakings and performance by Listed Companies and Listed Companies’ de facto Controllers, Shareholders, Related Parties and Acquirers” issued by China Securities Regulatory Commission. The Transfers contemplated under the Transfer Agreements are consistent with the terms of the Non-compete Undertaking. After the completion of the Transaction, Huaneng Group will have injected such conventional energy business assets which meet the conditions for listed company into the Company by end of 2016 in accordance with the Non-compete Undertaking in order to support the sustainable, stable development of the Company, and as a result, the Company’s business scale and geographical reach will be further expanded and its profitability will also be enhanced.

After completion of the Transaction, the Company will increase the total installed capacity of generating units in operation by 15.937 million KW, equity installed capacity by 13.389 million KW, total installed capacity of generating units under construction by 3.666 million KW. The capacity of generating units will allow the Company to further expand its business scale, increase its market share and enter the Jilin and Heilongjiang market for the first time.

Calculated in accordance with the China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, the total assets and total liabilities of the Target Companies of the Transfers amounts to RMB65.571 billion and RMB55.33 billion respectively as at 31 May 2016. From January to May 2016, the aggregate profit (after tax) of the Target Companies amounted to RMB2.197 billion. After the completion of the Transfers, the earnings of the Target Companies will change due to the actual market conditions.

If the financial statements of the Target Companies are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, the depreciation and amortisation items in the financial statements will be different from those shown in the financial statements prepared in accordance with the China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and financial data including net profit attributable to shareholders of the Company will therefore be different.

Upon completion of the Transfers, Shandong Power, Jilin Power, Heilongjiang Power and Zhongyuan CCGT will become the subsidiaries of the Company. The table below sets out details of the guarantees provided by the Target Companies (which will all become intra-group transactions among members within the Company and its subsidiaries and hence will not constitute continuing connected transactions with in the meaning of the Hong Kong Listing Rules after the Completion of the Transaction, except that the provision of guarantee provided by Jilin Power to Huaneng Baishan Meiganshi Power Generation Limited which will

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE HONG KONG LISTING RULES

Under the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the Transaction constitutes a discloseable and connected transaction of the Company. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules) in respect of the scale of the Transaction, in aggregate, are more than 5% but less than 25%, the Transaction is subject to the reporting, announcement, annual review requirement and shall comply with the Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements set out in the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

The “Proposal regarding the Acquisition of the Shandong Power Interests, the Jilin Power Interests, the Heilongjiang Power Interests and the Zhongyuan CCGT Interests” (including but not limited to the Transfer Agreement, the Profit Forecast Compensation Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder) was considered and approved by the Board on 14 October 2016. Cao Peixi, Guo Junming, Liu Guoyue, Li Shiqi, Huang Jian and Fan Xiaxia, all being Directors of the Company who are connected to the Transaction given their management positions in the Huaneng Group or its associate (please refer to the section of “Disclosure of Interest” in Appendix VIII of this circular for details thereof), had abstained from voting on the board resolution relating to the Transaction. The resolution was voted by Directors who are not connected to the Transaction. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) of the Company are of the view that the Transaction Agreements including the transactions comtemplated thereunder were entered into: (1) on normal commercial terms (on arm’s length basis or on terms no less favourable to the Company than terms available from independent third parties); (2) on terms that are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole; and (3) in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company.

As disclosed herein, the valuation of certain subsidiaries of Shandong Power was prepared based on income approach (the “Profit Forecast of the Relevant Subsidiaries”) and therefore constitutes a profit forecast under Rule 14.61 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. As such, the requirements under Rules 14.60A and 14.62 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules are applicable.

In accordance with Rule 14.62(2) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the Company has engaged, KPMG to report on the calculations of the discounted future cash flow under Profit Forecast of the Relevant Subsidiaries. KPMG has reviewed the calculations of the discounted future cash used and contained in the valuation report prepared by Zhong He Appraisal Co., Ltd..

Also, in accordance with Rules 14.62(3) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the Company has engaged the Financial Adviser to review the procedures undertaken by the Directors of the Company in preparing the forecast underlying the valuation prepared by the valuer of the Profit Forecast of the Relevant Subsidiaries. The Financial Advisor is satisfied that the forecast has been made by the Board after due and careful enquiry.

The report from KPMG for the purpose of Rule 14.62(2) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules on the Profit Forecast of the Relevant Subsidiaries is set out in Appendix II of this circular. The letter from the Financial Adviser for the purpose of Rule 14.62(3) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules on the Profit Forecast of Relevant Subsidiaries is set out in Appendix III to this circular.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

to approve the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the EGM. We, Gram Capital Limited, have been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this respect.

BASIS OF OUR OPINION

In formulating our opinion to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, we have relied on the statements, information, opinions and representations contained or referred to in the Circular and the information and representations as provided to us by the Directors. We have assumed that all information and representations that have been provided by the Directors, for which they are solely and wholly responsible, are true and accurate at the time when they were made and continue to be so as at the Latest Practicable Date. We have also assumed that all statements of belief, opinion, expectation and intention made by the Directors in the Circular were reasonably made after due enquiry and careful consideration. We have no reason to suspect that any material facts or information have been withheld or to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information and facts contained in the Circular, or the reasonableness of the opinions expressed by the Company, its advisers and/or the Directors, which have been provided to us. Our opinion is based on the Directors’ representation and confirmation that there are no undisclosed private agreements/arrangements or implied understanding with anyone concerning the Transaction. We consider that we have taken sufficient and necessary steps on which to form a reasonable basis and an informed view for our opinion in compliance with Rule 13.80 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

We have not made any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities of the Group or the Target Companies, and we have not been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal, save as and except for (i) the asset valuation report on Shandong Power issued by ZhongHe Appraisal Co., Ltd. (“ZhongHe”) as contained in Appendix I(i) to the Circular (the “Shandong Power Valuation Report”); (ii) the asset valuation report on Jilin Power issued by Hubei Zhonglian Asset Appraisal Co., Ltd. (“Zhonglian”) as contained in Appendix I(ii) to the Circular (the “Jilin Power Valuation Report”); (iii) the asset valuation report on Heilongjiang Power issued by China Appraisal Associates (“China Appraisal”) as contained in Appendix I(iii) to the Circular (the “Heilongjiang Power Valuation Report”); and (iv) the asset valuation report on Zhongyuan CCGT issued by China Appraisal as contained in Appendix I(iv) to the Circular (the “Zhongyuan CCGT Valuation Report”), all with 31 May 2016 as the Base Date. Since we are not experts in the valuation of assets or business, we have relied solely upon the aforesaid asset valuation reports for the appraised value of the Target Companies as at 31 May 2016.

The Circular, for which the Directors of the Company collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in the Circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or the Circular misleading. We, as the Independent Financial Adviser, take no responsibility for the contents of any part of the Circular, save and except for this letter of advice.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view and to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have not, however, conducted any independent in-depth investigation into the business and affairs of the Company, Huaneng Group, the Target Companies or their respective subsidiaries or associates, nor have we considered the taxation implication on the Group or the Shareholders as a result of the Transaction. Our opinion is necessarily based on the financial, economic, market and other conditions in effect and the information made available to us as at the Latest Practicable Date. Shareholders should note that subsequent developments (including any material change in market and economic conditions) may affect and/or change our opinion and we have no obligation to update this opinion to take into account events occurring after the Latest Practicable Date or to update, revise or reaffirm our opinion. In addition, nothing contained in this letter should be construed as a recommendation to hold, sell or buy any Shares or any other securities of the Company.

Lastly, where information in this letter has been extracted from published or otherwise publicly available sources, it is the responsibility of Gram Capital to ensure that such information has been correctly extracted from the relevant sources.

Valuation of Shandong Power

The Shandong Power Valuation Report was issued by ZhongHe, an independent valuer. With reference to the Board Letter, according to applicable laws, the Shandong Power Valuation Report has been duly filed in compliance with state-owned asset valuation procedure. According to the Shandong Power Valuation Report, the appraised value of shareholders’ total equity in Shandong Power was RMB15,515,920,000 as at 31 May 2016. Hence, the appraised value of the Shandong Power Interests as at 31 May 2016 would be RMB12,412,736,000.

The Shandong Power Valuation Report was prepared by Zhonghe using the income approach and asset-based approach. As confirmed by ZhongHe, the asset-based approach and income approach are commonly adopted approaches for valuation of companies and are also consistent with normal market practice. Based on our observation on valuation performed for
 

 
- 75 -

 
 
LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL
 
acquisition/disposal of business entities, we noted that there is adoption of asset-based or income approach and the professional valuers usually consider that the asset-based approach and income approach are generally accepted approach.

We also understood from ZhongHe that:

 
(i)
the asset-based method is for assets reorganization and reconstruction to reflect the current reset value of enterprises; income method is for the future profitability of enterprises, aiming to reflect the aggregate profitability of each asset;

 
(ii)
Shandong Province is a relatively developed province. The installed capacity of the main power plants of Shandong Power has size advantage and better market share in Shandong Province. In addition, such power plants are important power plants in the power grid of Shandong Province. ZhongHe considered that the market value of the subsidiaries of Shandong Power which are principally engaged in the operation of main power plants of Shandong Power can be better reflected by adopting income approach;

 
(iii)
for other subsidiaries of Shandong Power, asset-based method is adopted to assess due to the larger uncertainty of future profit; and

 
(iv)
according to the characteristic, operation condition and status of the entity evaluated, it is hard to find companies which have comparable business model, and ZhongHe did not adopt the market method for the valuation.

For our due diligence purpose, we found an article in relation to the gross domestic product (“GDP”) ranking (2015) of Shandong Province published on 28 January 2016 by 齊魯 (www.iqilu.com), which is a news releasing website organised by Shandong Radio & Television (山東廣播電視台) with the approval of the State Council Information Office of the PRC. As illustrated by the aforesaid article, the GDP of Shandong Province ranked no. 3 in 2015 among all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities of the PRC. The above findings demonstrated that Shandong Province is a relatively developed province. In addition, we have obtained statistics regarding the market share of the main power plants of Shandong Power in Shandong Province from ZhongHe. Given the above, the future income of the main power plants of Shandong Power can be reasonably estimated to form the basis of valuation. Having considered aforesaid reasons, observation and ZhongHe’s experience and qualification, we do not doubt the valuation approaches adopted by ZhongHe.

As the valuation of certain subsidiaries of Shandong Power was prepared based on income approach and therefore constitutes a profit forecast under Rule 14.61 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. In such case, it is stipulated under Rule 14.62 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules that the Company is required to obtain (i) a letter from its auditors or reporting accountants confirming that they have reviewed the accounting policies and calculations for the forecast and containing their report; and (ii) a report from its financial advisers confirming that they are satisfied that the forecast in the Shandong Power Valuation Report has been made by the

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL
 
Directors after due and careful enquiry; if no financial advisers have been appointed in connection with the transaction, the Company must provide a letter from the Board confirming they have made the forecast after due and careful enquiry. We consider that the above stipulation of the Hong Kong Listing Rules could safeguard the interest of the Shareholders and we noted that the Company has complied with the said requirements.

For our due diligence purpose, we have reviewed and enquired into (i) the terms of engagement of ZhongHe with the Company; (ii) ZhongHe’s qualification and experience in relation to the preparation of the Shandong Power Valuation Report; and (iii) the steps and due diligence measures taken by ZhongHe for conducting the Shandong Power Valuation Report. From the mandate letter and other relevant information provided by ZhongHe and based on our interview with them, we are satisfied with the terms of engagement of ZhongHe as well as their qualification and experience for preparation of the Shandong Power Valuation Report. ZhongHe have also confirmed that they are independent to the Group and the Huaneng Group.

With reference to the Shandong Power Valuation Report and as confirmed by ZhongHe, for the preparation of the Shandong Power Valuation Report, ZhongHe had complied with the valuation standards, measures and basis as set out in the section headed “VI. VALUATION BASIS” of the Shandong Power Valuation Report as contained in Appendix I(i) to the Circular. Given the above, we have no doubt on the steps and due diligence measures taken by ZhongHe for the Shandong Power Valuation Report.

We have also discussed and interviewed with ZhongHe to understand the methodology of, and basis and assumptions adopted for the Shandong Power Valuation Report. In this relation, we have also requested, obtained and reviewed the supporting documents (including but not limited to the underlying forecasts of the Shandong Power Valuation Report, documents showing how ZhongHe determined certain parameters in arriving at the appraised value of the Shandong Power Interests (e.g. weighted average cost of capital, risk free rate, tax, etc.) and financial information of each of subsidiaries of Shandong Power) for the Shandong Power Valuation Report from ZhongHe. During our discussion with the ZhongHe, we have not identified any major factors which caused us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the principal bases and assumptions adopted for the Shandong Power Valuation Report.

At the same time, we noted from the report from the Company’s auditors dated 14 October 2016 that, so far as the calculations are concerned, the discounted future cash flows under the Shandong Power Valuation Report have been properly compiled in all material respects in accordance with the bases and assumptions adopted by the Directors as set out in the Shandong Power Valuation Report. Furthermore, based on confirmation letter dated 14 October 2016 of CITIC CLSA Capital Markets Limited, the financial adviser to the Company, we understand that they are of the view that the underlying forecasts of the Shandong Power Valuation Report have been made after due and careful enquiry by the Directors.

Valuation of Jilin Power:

The Jilin Power Valuation Report was issued by Zhonglian, an independent valuer. With reference to the Board Letter, according to applicable laws, the Jilin Power Valuation Report has been duly filed in compliance with state-owned asset valuation procedure. According to the Jilin Power Valuation Report, the appraised value of the Jilin Power Interests was RMB555,005,700 as at 31 May 2016.

For our due diligence purpose, we have reviewed the Jilin Power Valuation Report and enquired into Zhonglian on the methodology, basis and assumptions adopted in arriving at the Jilin Power Valuation in order for us to understand the Jilin Power Valuation Report. The Jilin Power Valuation Report was concluded by Zhonglian using the asset-based approach.

Furthermore, we have reviewed and enquired into (i) the terms of engagement of Zhonglian with the Company; (ii) Zhonglian’s qualification and experience in relation to the preparation of the Jilin Power Valuation Report; and (iii) the steps and due diligence measures taken by Zhonglian for conducting the Jilin Power Valuation Report. From the mandate letter and other relevant information provided by Zhonglian and based on our interview with them, we are satisfied with the terms of engagement of Zhonglian as well as their qualification and experience for preparation of the Jilin Power Valuation Report. Zhonglian have also confirmed that they are independent to the Group and the Huaneng Group.

With reference to the Jilin Power Valuation Report and as confirmed by Zhonglian, for the preparation of the Jilin Power Valuation Report, Zhonglian had complied with the valuation standards, measures and basis as set out in the section headed “VI. VALUATION BASIS” of the Jilin Power Valuation Report as contained in Appendix I(ii) to the Circular. Given the above, we have no doubt on the steps and due diligence measures taken by Zhonglian for the Jilin Power Valuation Report.

We have also discussed and interviewed with Zhonglian to understand the methodology of, and basis and assumptions adopted for the Jilin Power Valuation Report. As confirmed by Zhonglian, the asset-based approach is a commonly adopted approach for valuation of companies and is also consistent with normal market practice. Based on our observation on valuation performed for acquisition/disposal of business entities, we noted that there is adoption of asset-based approach and the professional valuers usually consider that the asset- based approach is generally accepted approach.

We also understood from Zhonglian that the grid tariffs of Jilin Power are affected by the national pricing policy and the rigid increase in cost is not expected to be absorbed in the future, which results in the lower income level in the future. As such, asset-based approach was adopted for concluding the appraised value of the Jilin Power. In addition, as the number of the same industry as entity evaluated or property right transaction case in the similar industry is rare and difficult to obtain, Zhonglian did not adopt the market method for the valuation.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

For our due diligence purpose, we noted that the grid tariff for power generation enterprises in Jilin Province was adjusted downward in accordance with《關於降低燃煤發電 上網電價和一般工商業用電價格的通知》(The Notice on the Reduction of On-grid Tariffs for Coal-fired Power Generation and Electricity Prices for General Industrial and Commercial Use*) issued by National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC (“NDRC”) (www.ndrc.gov.cn) on 27 December 2015 and《吉林物價局貫徹國家發展改革委關於降低燃 煤發電上網電價和一般工商業用電價格的通知》(Jilin Province Commodity Price Bureau's Notice on the Execution of Reduction of On-grid Tariffs for Coal-fired Power Generation and Electricity Prices for General Industrial and Commercial Use*) issued by 吉林省物價局 (Jilin Province Commodity Price Bureau*) (wjj.jl.gov.cn) on 5 January 2016. The above findings indicated that the future income of Jilin Power and its subsidiaries can be affected by the national pricing policies.

In addition, we noted from an article regarding the economy of Northeast China published by China Economic Weekly (www.ceweekly.cn) on 9 May 2016 (the “Northeast Article”) that (i) the GDP growth rates of Liaoning Province, Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province in 2013 were ranked the bottom ten among all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities of the PRC; (ii) the economy in Northeast China further deteriorated in 2014; and (iii) among 14 prefecture-level cities in the PRC which recorded negative GDP growth rate in 2015, there were 6 in Northeast China. The sluggish economy of Northeast China may also post uncertainty and risks to the profitability of Jilin Power and its subsidiaries.

Furthermore, we noted from《關於推動東北地區電力協調發展的實施意見》(Opinion on Promoting the Coordinated Development of Electric Power in Northeast China*) published on 11 July 2016 (the “NEA Northeast Opinion”) by the National Energy Administration of the PRC (“NEA”) (www.nea.gov.cn) that there is excess supply of electricity in Northeast China. According to the NEA Northeast Opinion, NEA targets to balance the supply and demand of electricity in Northeast China, adjust its thermal/wind power structure and reduce the wind energy curtailment rate. In view of the excess supply in electricity in Northeast China, the profitability of Jilin Power and its subsidiaries may not be stable and any government policies to be implemented to achieve the aforesaid targets of NEA may also give rise to uncertainty to the profitability of Jilin Power and its subsidiaries (which include both thermal and wind electricity generating units).

Having considered aforesaid reasons, observations and Zhonglian’s experience and qualification, we do not doubt the valuation approach adopted by Zhonglian.

The Heilongjiang Power Valuation Report was issued by China Appraisal. With reference to the Board Letter, according to applicable laws, the Heilongjiang Power Valuation Report has been duly filed in compliance with state-owned asset valuation procedure. According to the Heilongjiang Power Valuation Report, the appraised value of the Heilongjiang Power Interests was RMB2,098,066,200 as at 31 May 2016.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

For our due diligence purpose, we have reviewed the Heilongjiang Power Valuation Report and enquired into China Appraisal on the methodology, basis and assumptions adopted in arriving at the Heilongjiang Power Valuation Report in order for us to understand the Heilongjiang Power Valuation Report. The Heilongjiang Power Valuation Report was concluded by China Appraisal using the asset-based approach.

Furthermore, we have reviewed and enquired into (i) the terms of engagement of China Appraisal with the Company; (ii) China Appraisal’s qualification and experience in relation to the preparation of the Heilongjiang Power Valuation Report; and (iii) the steps and due diligence measures taken by China Appraisal for conducting the Heilongjiang Power Valuation Report. From the mandate letter and other relevant information provided by China Appraisal and based on our interview with them, we are satisfied with the terms of engagement of China Appraisal as well as their qualification and experience for preparation of the Heilongjiang Power Valuation Report. China Appraisal have also confirmed that they are independent to the Group and the Huaneng Group.

With reference to the Heilongjiang Power Valuation Report and as confirmed by China Appraisal, for the preparation of the Heilongjiang Power Valuation Report, China Appraisal had complied with the valuation standards, measures and basis as set out in the section headed “VI. VALUATION BASIS” of the Heilongjiang Power Valuation Report as contained in Appendix I(iii) to the Circular. Given the above, we have no doubt on the steps and due diligence measures taken by China Appraisal for the Heilongjiang Power Valuation Report.

We have also discussed and interviewed with China Appraisal to understand the methodology of, and basis and assumptions adopted for the Heilongjiang Power Valuation Report. As confirmed by China Appraisal, the asset-based approach is commonly adopted approach for valuation of companies and is also consistent with normal market practice. Based on our observation on valuation performed for acquisition/disposal of business entities, we noted that there is adoption of asset-based approach and the professional valuers usually consider that the asset-based approach is generally accepted approach.

We also understood from China Appraisal that the operation and profitability of Heilongjiang Power and its subsidiaries might not be stable for the coming years and it might be mainly engaged in investment and management. Accordingly, income approach might not give a true view of the Heilongjiang Power’s real value and asset-based approach was adopted for concluding the appraised value of the Heilongjiang Power. In addition, due to the lack of sufficient market data and comparable cases of transaction in the open market, China Appraisal did not adopt the market method for the valuation.

As aforementioned, we noted from the Northeast Article that (i) the GDP growth rates of Liaoning Province, Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province in 2013 were ranked the bottom ten among all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities of the PRC; (ii) the economy in Northeast China further deteriorated in 2014; and (iii) among 14 prefecture-level city in the PRC which recorded negative GDP growth rate in 2015, there were 6 in Northeast China. The sluggish economy of Northeast China may post uncertainty and risks to the profitability of Heilongjiang Power and its subsidiaries.

Having considered aforesaid reasons, observations and China Appraisal’s experience and qualification, we do not doubt the valuation approach adopted by China Appraisal.

In addition, we have also requested, obtained and reviewed the supporting documents (including but not limited to document showing how China Appraisal determined certain parameters in arriving at the appraised value of the Heilongjiang Power and financial information of each of subsidiaries of Heilongjiang Power) for the Heilongjiang Power Valuation Report from China Appraisal. During our discussion with the China Appraisal, we have not identified any major factors which caused us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the principal bases and assumptions adopted for the Heilongjiang Power Valuation Report.

Valuation of Zhongyuan CCGT

The Zhongyuan CCGT Valuation Report was issued by China Appraisal. With reference to the Board Letter, according to applicable laws, the Zhongyuan CCGT Valuation Report has been duly filed in compliance with state-owned asset valuation procedure. According to the Zhongyuan CCGT Valuation Report, the appraised value of shareholders’ total equity in Zhongyuan CCGT was RMB53,353,200 as at 31 May 2016. Hence, the appraised value of the Zhongyuan CCGT Interests as at 31 May 2016 would be RMB48,017,880.

For our due diligence purpose, we have reviewed the Zhongyuan CCGT Valuation Report and enquired into China Appraisal on the methodology, basis and assumptions adopted in arriving at the Zhongyuan CCGT Valuation Report in order for us to understand the Zhongyuan CCGT Valuation Report. The Zhongyuan CCGT Valuation Report was concluded by China Appraisal using the asset-based approach.

Furthermore, we have reviewed and enquired into (i) the terms of engagement of China Appraisal with the Company regarding the Zhongyuan CCGT Valuation Report; (ii) China Appraisal’s qualification and experience in relation to the preparation of the Zhongyuan CCGT Valuation Report; and (iii) the steps and due diligence measures taken by China Appraisal for conducting the Zhongyuan CCGT Valuation Report.

Given the above, we have no doubt on the steps and due diligence measures taken by China Appraisal for the Zhongyuan CCGT Valuation Report.

We have also discussed and interviewed with China Appraisal to understand the methodology of, and basis and assumptions adopted for the Zhongyuan CCGT Valuation Report.

Based on our observation on valuation performed for acquisition/disposal of business entities, we noted that there is adoption of asset-based approach and the professional valuers usually consider that the asset-based approach is generally accepted approach.

We also understood from China Appraisal that there is adjustment to the time-of-use pricing policies (electricity pricing policies which govern the pricing of electricity under different timeframe (e.g. high peak hour, peak hour, normal hour and slack hour) of Henan Province) and the on-grid price of the electricity on certain enterprises in Henan Province (including the on-grid price of the electricity of Zhongyuan CCGT) was adjusted downward, causing certain risks on the growth potential of its profitability. As such, asset-based approach was adopted for concluding the appraised value of the Zhongyuan CCGT. In addition, due to the lack of sufficient market data and comparable cases of transaction on the open market, China Appraisal did not adopt the market method for the valuation. For our due diligence purpose, we noted from 《河南省發展和改革委員會關於2016年電價調整問題的通知》(The Notice of Development and Reform Commission of Henan Province on the Adjustment to the Electricity Price in 2016*) published by the Henan Province Development and Reform Commission (www.hndrc.gov.cn) on 7 June 2016 that with the consent of the government of Henan Province and the approval of the NDRC, the time-of-use pricing policies of Henan province were adjusted such that the high peak hour timeframe and peak hour timeframe were combined to one single timeframe and the electricity on-grid price of certain enterprises in Henan Province (including Zhongyuan CCGT) was adjusted downward. The above findings indicated that the governmental pricing policies may cause risks and uncertainty to the future income of Zhongyuan CCGT. Having considered aforesaid reasons, observation and China Appraisal’s experience and qualification, we do not doubt the valuation approach adopted by China Appraisal.

In addition, we have also requested, obtained and reviewed the supporting documents (including but not limited to document showing how China Appraisal determined certain parameters in arriving at the appraised value of the Zhongyuan CCGT and financial information of Zhongyuan CCGT) for the Zhongyuan CCGT Valuation Report from China Appraisal. During our discussion with the China Appraisal, we have not identified any major factors which caused us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the principal bases and assumptions adopted for the Zhongyuan CCGT Valuation Report.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL
 
In light of the above and that the Consideration of RMB15,113,825,800 is about the same with the sum of the appraised values of the Shandong Power Interests, the Jilin Power Interests, the Heilongjiang Power Interests and the Zhongyuan CCGT Interests (i.e. RMB12,412,736,000 + RMB555,005,700 + RMB2,098,066,200 + RMB48,017,880 = RMB15,113,825,780), we are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

We noticed that the valuers include (i) the lands and properties of the Target Companies with defective title in the scope of the valuations (as the case may be); and (ii) certain generating units/power plant of the Target Companies (as the case may be) which have yet to obtain, and are in the process of applying for the electric power business licenses, in the scope of the valuations (as the case may be). Having considered the indemnifying clauses as set out below, we consider that the inclusion of such lands and properties and generating units/power plant in the scope of the valuations (as the case may be) to be acceptable.

Having considered the aforementioned reasons for selection of appropriate approaches for the valuation of the Shandong Power Interests, the Jilin Power Interests, the Heilongjiang Power Interests and the Zhongyuan CCGT Interests, we have not considered other analysis to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration.

Adjustment of the Consideration

With reference to the Board Letter, if Shandong Power, in accordance with the “Agreement on the Transfer of All the Assets of Rizhao Construction Heat Power Company Limited at Nil Consideration to Huaneng Shandong Power Generation Co., Ltd.” with the People’s Government of Rizhao Municipal entered into on 13 April 2016, transfers the assets contemplated by such agreement to Shandong Power or its subsidiaries at nil consideration prior to the Completion Date, such assets will form part of the Transfers. The consideration for such transfer shall be negotiated and determined by the parties based on the asset valuation report issued by a jointly appointed valuer but shall in no event exceed RMB500,000,000.

Having considered that the consideration for such transfer shall be negotiated and determined by the parties based on the asset valuation report, we consider the adjustment to the Consideration is acceptable.

(i)
certain generating units of the 11 subsidiaries of Shandong Power have yet to obtain, and are in the process of applying for the electric power business licenses;

Having considered the indemnifying provisions as mentioned above, we are of the view that the Company’s risk exposure under the Transfers can be covered.

In light of the above, we consider the terms of the Transfer Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.
 
B.
Profit Forecast Compensation Agreement

As mentioned above, during the course of appraisal, income approach was adopted to value certain subsidiaries of Shandong Power of which the valuation results were over 100% of the book value. Huaneng Group guaranteed that the Actual Net Profit will not be less than the forecasted net profit as set out in the relevant asset valuation reports. In this regards, Huaneng Group and the Company entered into the Profit Forecast Compensation Agreement on 14 October 2016.

Pursuant to the Profit Forecast Compensation Agreement, after the issue of specific audit report according to the agreement, Huaneng Group should compensate the Company in cash for the differences between the accumulated Actual Net Profit and the accumulated forecast net profit at the end of the period of Each Profit Forecast Company as in the specific audit report. If the accumulated Actual Net Profit for Each Profit Forecast Company at the end of the compensation period is equal to

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

or higher than the accumulated forecasted net profit at the end of the compensation period, then Huaneng Group is not required to compensate the Company (namely, the compensation payable for the relevant period is zero), nor is the Company required to compensate Huaneng Group.

During the compensation period, the Company should audit any discrepancies between the Actual Net Profit and the forecasted profit for Each Profit Forecast Company each year. Such audit should be conducted by a registered accountant (the “Registered Auditor”) appointed by the Company with qualifications to practice in securities-related business, and such accountant should issue a specific audit report.

For our due diligence purpose, we noted from the《上海證券交易所上市公司關聯交易實施指 引》(Guidelines for the Implementation of Connected Transactions of Listed Companies on the Shanghai Stock Exchange*) (the “Guidelines”), among other things, the counterparty to the acquisition transaction (as vendor and being the connected person of A Share listed companies (as purchaser)) should enter into profit forecast compensation agreement with A Share listed companies (as purchaser) for the purpose of the provision of profit compensation for the differences between the actual net profit and the forecast net profit for the three years after the completion of the acquisition transaction, when (i) the valuation of the target asset exceeding 100% of its book value; and (ii) the approach which is based on future income being adopted for the valuation.

Furthermore, we have discussed with the Directors and understood the aforementioned approach and formula for profit compensation and compensation on impairment. In addition, we have searched over the internet and found certain agreements entered into by Hong Kong listed companies in 2015 and 2016 in relation to (i) acquisition of companies by companies which listed in both Hong Kong and the PRC (the “Type I Transactions”); and (ii) disposals of companies by Hong Kong listed companies to A share listed companies (the “Type II Transactions”, together with the Type I Transaction, the “Reference Transactions”), details of which are set out below:

Details of the Profit Forecast Compensation Agreement are set out under the section headed “Profit Forecast Compensation Agreement” of the Board Letter.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Given also that (i) the Profit Forecast Compensation Agreement was entered into in accordance with the Guidelines; and (ii) a Registered Auditor will be engaged to provide an audit opinion on the Actual Net Profit, we are of the view that the terms of the Profit Forecast Compensation Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the Shareholders are concerned.

3.
Financial effect on the Transaction

As confirmed by the Directors, upon Completion, the Target Companies will become the subsidiaries of the Company and their financial results will be consolidated and accounted for subsidiaries of the Company.

With reference to the 2016 Interim Report, the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Group was approximately RMB102.43 billion as at 30 June 2016. As advised by the Directors, the Transaction is expected to have no material impact on the consolidated net asset value of the Group.

It should be noted that the aforementioned analysis is for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be upon the Completion.

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into consideration the factors and reasons as stated above, we are of the opinion that (i) the terms of Transaction Agreements are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and (ii) the Transaction is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and is conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) in this regard.

VALUATION METHOD

(I)
Selection of valuation method

According to the evaluation criteria and legislation in China and the international conventions, enterprise value evaluation has the following basic methods: market method, income method and asset-based method. One should choose one or more methods after analyzing their feasibility based on the information of the valuation object, its type of value and its data collection while evaluating.

The income method refers to determining the value of the company under evaluation by discounting its prospective earnings as per a certain discount rate or capitalization rate. Income method reflects the expectation principle – the value of an enterprise or its asset determines on its future profitability. Income method is mainly applicable for enterprises which can make relatively reasonable and reliable estimate of their prospective earning capacity in the future. Basically it requires the evaluated enterprise to have a relatively stable performance and capable of stable operation in the future, etc. According to the Assets Evaluation Standards – Enterprise Value (Article 23): Certified Public Valuer shall make appropriate consideration on the applicability of the income method according to the company’s history of operation, the future earnings that can be predicted and the adequacy of the evaluation information obtained. As the evaluated company has been operating in good condition, and its future development and earnings can be predicted reasonably, we adopted the income method for the overall evaluation.

 
- I(i)-33 -

 

APPENDIX I(i)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION
REPORT OF SHANDONG POWER

The market method refers to the valuation methods which compares the valuation object with comparable listed companies or comparable transaction cases so as to determine the value of the valuation object. Comparison methods of listed companies refers to specific methods which obtains and analyzes the operating and financial information of comparable listed companies to calculate appropriate market value ratio, and based on comparison and analysis of assessed enterprises, to determine the value of the valuation object. Comparable enterprises in the comparison methods of listed companies should be listed companies traded normally in the open market, the evaluation conclusion should consider the impact of liquidity on the value of the valuation object. The market method uses real transaction cases as the reference to estimate the company’s value. It has advantages such as direct evaluation process and market-based data, but it requires that the evaluated company is comparable with the reference companies. According to Article 33 of the Assets Evaluation Standards – Enterprise Value: Certified Public Valuer shall make appropriate consideration on the applicability of the market method according to the adequacy and reliability of the operation and financial data of the obtained comparable companies and the number of the comparable companies which information can be acquired. According to the characteristic, operation condition and status of the entity evaluated, it is hard to find companies which have comparable business model, and we will not adopt the market method for the valuation.

Asset-based method refers to evaluate all the single assets and liabilities on the company’s balance sheet from the angle of rebuilding that means base its valuation of the total asset on the value equaling to the investment volume of rebuilding a company or an independent profitable entity that is equal to the valuation object on the valuation base date, which reflects the company’s value from the company’s building As the entity evaluated classified as management company, its assets and liability is relatively clear, the entity evaluated could provide, and the valuer also could collect the necessary information for the asset-based method from outside, and it could carry out comprehensive verification and assessment progress. Therefore, we adopt asset-based method for the valuation.

(II)
The specific valuation method – Asset-based method

Asset-based method in the valuation of enterprises is based on the balance sheet of entities evaluated as at the valuation base date, using different valuation methods to determine the valuation of the assets and liabilities of each enterprise, thus to determine the valuation method of valuation object. The valuation process for all types of assets and liabilities is stated as follows:

1.
Current assets

Current asset includes currency capital, account receivables, advance payment, interest receivables, other receivables and non-current assets due within one year.

 
(1)
Monetary current assets: including cash and bank deposit. Verify with means including cash verification, bank statements, bank confirmations, etc. The RMB currency assets will be evaluated according to the verified value, and the foreign currency assets will be valued according to the exchange rate on the valuation base date.

2.
Non-current assets

(1)
Long-term receivables

The value of entrusted loan is determined mainly on basis of checking and verifying the balance of the carrying value of the subject with reference to each recoverable amount.

(2)
Long-term equity investment

1)
Wholly-owned, controlled or relative holding company

For controlled or actually controlled invested entities included in the scope of this assessment, the value of the long-term equity investment shall be determined with reference to Huaneng Shandong Power Generation Co., Ltd.’s entitlement calculated on proportion of its shareholdings (or actual contribution proportion), based on the all equity of the equity of shareholder value after the value of the invested entities being determined, through the valuation of invested entities’ overall assets.

House buildings

The valuation method could be determined according to the purpose, way of acquisition and characteristics of the buildings. The valuation of commercial house (including residential, office) purchased conducted by using market comparison method, while valuation of houses for production and office use self- constructed by Muping Branch conducted by using replacement cost method, and for houses at level 22, Huaneng Building which were unable to verify, the value of which stated at carrying amounts.
 
①     Market comparison method

The market comparison method is to compare the evaluated building with the similar buildings that have been transacted around the valuation base date and make appropriate amendment on their known prices so as to estimate the objective and reasonable value of the building.

The evaluation value of the evaluated building = price of the reference building × correction coefficient of the transaction situation × correction coefficient of the transaction date × correction coefficient of region factors × correction coefficient of individual factors.
 
①     Replacement cost method

The evaluation result of buildings is calculated with the following formula:

Estimated value = replacement costs × comprehensive newness rate
 
A.
Determining the replacement cost
 
Replacement costs = civil and erection costs + preliminary work and other costs + capital costs

 
- I(i)-38 -

 

APPENDIX I(i)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION
REPORT OF SHANDONG POWER

Among them:

Construction and installation engineering comprehensive cost refers to the construction cost paid by the construction unit directly to the contractor.

Construction and installation engineering comprehensive cost = building engineering cost + decoration engineering cost + installation project cost

The valuers will choose representative buildings from buildings with same applications and structures according to the category of buildings, and determine the construction and installation engineering comprehensive cost on the valuation base date based on the materials gathered that reflect the design, budget and final account, contract and the local construction project budget and building cost information.

Special buildings mainly refers to buildings built to meet the requirement of enterprise production process, equipment installation and product characteristics, such as main power house of thermal power projects, chimneys, cooling tower, coal conveying gallery etc. Their replacement cost should be calculated according to related industry quota respectively, and their pre-project cost should be calculated according to different type of projects.

Other buildings can be calculated with analogy approach as per the construction and installation cost of other representative buildings from buildings with same applications and structures, combining the common data and parameter used for evaluation of buildings and using comparison method to calculate the total cost of construction installation engineering through difference adjustment of such buildings.

Upfront fees and other expenses refer to expenses occurred during the project construction which should be paid to the government departments or the units other than the contractors. The amount will be determined respectively according to the billing items and standards set by the local supervision authorities and billing standards for professional services, and the characteristics of the assessed building project.

The cost of capital should be calculated respectively according to reasonable construction period and effective loan interest rates over the same period of the valuation base date, and assume that the construction fund is averagely invested.

For thermal power generation facilities, the cost of capital are calculated according to the 2013 Budgeting and Calculation Regulations of Thermal Power Projects:

Coefficient of the cost of capital = capital cost coefficient before the electricity generation of the first unit + capital cost coefficient after the electricity generation of the first unit.

Among them:

Capital cost coefficient before the electricity generation = Σ [(cumulative investment at the beginning of the year + investment of the year/2) × annual interest rate]

 
- I(i)-39 -

 

APPENDIX I(i)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION
REPORT OF SHANDONG POWER

Capital cost coefficient after the electricity generation of the first unit = Σ [(investment of the year/2) × annual interest rate]

Cost of capital = (project cost + upfront fee and other expenses) x coefficient of cost of capital

B.
Determining the comprehensive newness rate

The comprehensive newness rate is determined by the weighted average of the two calculate result of age limit approach and exploration approach. The calculation formula is as follows:

Comprehensive newness rate = age limit approach of newness rate x 40% + scoring approach x 60% Among them:
Age limit approach of newness rate = remaining durable years of the building ÷ economic and durable years of the building x 100%

The remaining durable years of the buildings refers to the remaining durable years of the building till the valuation base date. Generally it uses the durable yeas of the building minus the years already spent and make appropriate amendment according to the actual maintenance condition of the building.

The newness rate of scoring approach is determined according to the scoring standard of the newness rate of buildings with different structures, combining the site survey result of the structure, decoration and equipment (facilities) of the buildings.

The newness rate of scoring approach = scoring of the structure newness x G + scoring of decoration newness x S + scoring of equipment (facilities) newness x B

Evaluation of G, S and B is determined respectively according to ratio of the structure, decoration and equipment (facilities) in the total cost of the building.

The scoring criteria of the newness of evaluated buildings are determined according to the national and local scoring criteria of the damage level and newness of the buildings, combining the requirement of design and usage of the buildings.

2)
Equipment

According to the characteristics of the evaluated equipment, we mainly adopt the replacement cost method in the evaluation.

Assessed value = replacement cost × comprehensive newness rate

APPENDIX I(i)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION
REPORT OF SHANDONG POWER

Replacement cost generally includes equipment purchase expense, freight and installation fee, upfront and other fees and cost of capital. The fees except for purchase expense (cost) are determined according to the relevant equipment characteristics and equipment prices obtained in the valuation and trading conditions.

Among them:

The equipment purchase expense is determined according to the recent transaction price and inquiry results from the suppliers of the related equipment, and other public price information gathered by the valuer. Equipment without direct price information will use information of alternative products. And when there is no alternative product, the value will be determined with the price index approach on the basis of implementing rationality verification of the original acquisition cost.

The freight cost mainly consists of fees of procurement, transportation, handling charge, the safekeeping, etc. and is determined according to the type, distance, and ways of transportation of the evaluated equipment.

The installation fee is determined according to the usage, features and installation of the evaluated equipment. For equipment with independent setting base, the basic expense should also be determined according to its usage, load, etc. (except for the ones under unified consideration in the construction of the workshop).

The cost of capital is that used in the normal construction period. The rate refers to the loan interest rates in the same period announced by the People’s Bank of China and is calculated according to different project categories. The specific calculation process is described in the calculation method of the capital cost of buildings.

For equipment that does not need to install or with a short installation period, the cost of capital is not needed to be considered.

Office and electronic equipment are determined mainly by checking the relevant quotation material on the valuation base date.

B.
Vehicles

It is determined according to the current market price of similar vehicles on the valuation base date, while the corresponding purchase surtax, license fees and charges, etc. would be taken into account.

For equipment that have been used for a long time and have been updated and its replacement cost is hard to be determined, such as vehicles and computer, the valuer can determine its appraised value through the transaction information of the same or similar equipment on the second hand market.

APPENDIX I(i)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION
REPORT OF SHANDONG POWER

Normally lift limit method and surveying method newness rates are used for determining high value equipment which is used in critical process and abnormal conditions. The formula is as below:

Comprehensive newness rate = life limit newness rate × 40% + surveying newness rate × 60% In which:
Life limit newness rate = number of years available for use ÷ (number of years served + number of years available for use) × 100%

Number of years available for use means the remaining years of service for equipment from valuation base date. Normally, the economic service years minus number of years served, and factored accordingly based on the actual maintenance status.

Surveying newness rate will be determined based on process conditions, maintenance records, verification of actual status and surveying.

With respect to less valuable or non-critical production equipment, office equipment and electronic equipment, comprehensive newness rate will be determined based on life limit newness rate.

B.
Vehicles

With respect to vehicles that have mandatory retirement life, the life limit method and mileage method will be used for calculation of newness rate, then the principle of “Lower” will be used to determine the theoretical newness rate; as for vehicles without mandatory retirement life, mileage method will be used for calculation of newness rate. And then the vehicle inspection results will be used to determine the factor used for correction of theoretical newness rate, the corrected theoretical newness rate will be adopted as comprehensive newness rate.

Comprehensive newness rate = theoretical newness rate x correction coefficient

In which:

Theoretical newness rate = Min (newness rate of age limit approach, newness rate of mileage approach)

Newness rate of age limit approach = years already used/(years already used + years remaining) x 100%

Newness rate of mileage approach = (set travel distance– travelled distance)/set travel distance x 100%

Valuation conclusion

According to Asset Valuation Standards and the Guidelines for the State-owned Asset valuation reports, where many evaluation methods used on the same object valued, analysis should be conducted on the preliminary conclusion of value formed, and form a reasonable evaluation conclusion after considering the reasonability of different evaluation methods and the quality and quantity of the materials used.

As an investment entity (management platform), the main business income sources of Huaneng Shandong Power Generation Co., Ltd. (華能山東發電有限公司) are from the management fee on the invested companies and wind power generation revenue from Muping Wind Power Branch. The mainly purpose of the management fees received from invested companies is to maintain the normal operation of the parent company, which could not manifest the efficiency and the profitability of the assets. As Muping Wind Power Branch consolidated into the parent company as unincorporated entity, analyzed from the nature of the investment entities and the managed companies, its possibility of independent operation is large. Therefore, the evaluation conclusion on the income methods of the parent company is uncertain to a certain extent. By Comparing the valuation results and purpose of the two different evaluation methods, the results of asset-based method could present the market value of total equity of shareholders on the valuation base date of the entity evaluated in a more objective way.

The 1 industrial transferred land use right of Huaneng Zibo Baiyanghe Power Generation Co., Ltd. (華能淄博白楊河發電有限公司) expired on 19 February 2015, with an area of approximately 104,428.5 square meters. Currently, the relevant renewal procedures are being handled, thus it is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of land granting fee that expected to pay for the renewal at present.

Beijing Zhongdi Land and Real Estate Appraisal Co. Ltd. was engaged by the client to conduct valuation on the value of land use rights for the land for the same valuation purpose on the same base date, the estimated land granting fees did not deduct at present.

(VI)
The evaluator did not conduct any technical examination on the structure of the underground engineering works included in the evaluation scope. Instead, assuming that all the engineering materials provided by the client are true, valid and correct, we identified the engineering quantity of the underground structure on the basis of the engineering drawings, construction contracts, inspection and acceptance files, on-site investigation, as well as the material from the client, and understand the use of the asset on the basis of the operation records and the pipeline maintenance, service and repairing records. The influence of the difference between the description in writing and the actual conditions of the structure on the evaluation conclusion is not taken into consideration.

(VII)
The valuation results stand for the current price of the valuation object within under the valuation purpose and subject to assumptions and limitations in the report. Therefore, the evaluation results may become voided when there should appear any change in the assumptions or limitations.

APPENDIX I(ii)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF JILIN POWER

(II)
Determination of the valuation conclusions

The assets-based method and income method are considered for the valuation on all equity interests held by the shareholders of the entity evaluated. The valuation result through the income method is lower than that through the assets-based method. In this valuation, the reasons for difference between the two methods are as follows:

First of all, the assets-based method is to evaluate the open market value of assets from the perspective of assets replacement, and confirm the value of an enterprise in the whole from the present value of all assets of the enterprise. However, the income method is to evaluate the open market value of assets from the perspective of contributions of all assets to enterprise value, namely starting from the expected profitability of entire assets, which is the quantification and present value of economic interests expected to flow into the enterprise.

Secondly, the entity evaluated mainly engages in the production, operation, management and marketing of electric power and thermal power, and its business scope covers thermal power, wind power, hydropower and biomass power generation. Its on-grid tariffs are affected by the national pricing policy, and rigid growth of cost will not be digested in the expectable future, so the future income level is relatively low; influenced by the power supply demand, the utilization hours are not high but fluctuate largely in recent years, so the designed generating capacity is not utilized effectively; the entity evaluated has a high debt ratio and a large financial interest expense. In conclusion, the valuation result with the income method is lower.

In combination with the specific purpose of this valuation and fully considering the operational characteristics of the entity evaluated, it is believed by the appraisers through comprehensive analysis that it is relatively reasonable to take the valuation result with the assets-based method as the market value of all equity interests held by the shareholders of the entity evaluated. That is to say, the market value of all equity interests held by the shareholders of Huaneng Jilin Power Generation Co., Ltd. (華能吉林發電有限公司) amounted to RMB555.0057 million as at the valuation base date.

Pursuant to the provisions of national departments concerned, the valuation conclusions remain effective for one year (from 31 May 2016 to 30 May 2017). It needs to be reappraised in case of exceeding one year.

VII.
Important notice: this valuation report is only to be used by the client, entities evaluated and other users specified in this valuation report for the purposes stated in this valuation and for the investigation with competent authorities. This valuation report shall not be provided or disclosed to others arbitrarily without authorization. Without our consent, the whole or any part of the content of the valuation report shall not be excerpted, cited or disclosed to the media, unless otherwise stated in the laws and regulation.

VALUATION METHOD

Market method, asset-based method and income method can be used in asset valuation based on the asset valuation basis. The specific method should be chosen based on the available data and information in light of valuation purpose combined with the specific nature of valuation type and valuation target of entities evaluated.

 
- I(ii)-34 -

 

APPENDIX I(ii)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF JILIN POWER

(I)
Selection and reason of valuation method

 
1.
The entity evaluated was founded in 2007, principally engaged in the development, investment, construction, production, operation and sales of electric projects. Entity evaluated has operated normally since its establishment. The income method is considered in the valuation of the total shareholder’s equity of entity evaluated based on the historical operation and financial data that can conduct an estimation for the future operating assets of the Company.

 
2.
The number of the same industry as entity evaluated or property right transaction case in the similar industry is rare and difficult to get, market method is inappropriate in the case.

 
3.
Each asset and debt of entity evaluated has been clear since its establishment and market price of individual asset is available and proven, while the use of each tangible asset and intangible asset is equipped with solid plan.

(II)
Procedure and formula of asset-based method

The asset-based method for the valuation of an enterprise’s value, also named cost method, refers to the valuation method whereby the value of the entity under valuation is determined by the reasonable valuation of all the on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet assets and liabilities of the enterprise based on the balance sheet of the enterprise under valuation as on the valuation base date. For assets, it is an asset valuation method that makes reference to the difference derived from deducting the physical depreciation, functional depreciation and economic depreciation incurred by the appraised assets from the total costs necessary for the replacement or construction of the new appraised assets under present conditions when determining the appraised value of the appraised assets. The cost method can also ascertain the value of the appraised asset by first estimating the newness of the appraised asset when compared with its brand new conditions, i.e. obtaining the newness rate, and then multiplying the newness rate by the total cost to obtain its appraised value. The basic formula is as follows:

Assessment value = replacement price – devaluation by real degradation – devaluation of economic obsolescence – devaluation by functional degradation

Or, assessment value = replacement price × newness rate

This report chooses the formula of assessment value = replacement price × newness rate, based on the collection of delegated estimation of market information and relevant data.

The valuation of each asset is as followed:

1.
Valuation of current assets

Audited book value is assessment value for the nature of monetary of current assets (monetary capital) in the valuation of current assets. Based on the verification of creditor’s assets, assessment value can be determined in light of the possibility of recovery through comprehensive analysis to its aging, nature and

 
- I(ii)-35 -

 

APPENDIX I(ii)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF JILIN POWER

debtor’s condition, etc. Current assets (inventory) in physical substance are calculated by current market price. Assessment value is determined by the transaction price of current market price on the basis of the verified number.

2.
Valuation of available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets consist of stock investment and other investment. Stock investment of enterprises is calculated by fair value. Other investment of enterprises is calculated by cost method. Different valuation methods are adopted in different investments, and the detail is as followed:

 
(1)
The assessment value is calculated by the close price on the valuation base date and number of shares due to the availability of normal transaction and open transaction price in the stock market for the shares of Bank of Communications.

Assessment value of stock investment = close price on the valuation base date × number of shares

 
(2)
Other investments of two companies are non-listed company, and Huaneng Jilin (華能吉林) is all of its shares. Huaneng has no substantial control or significant influence and holdings. Jilin Zhanyu Wind Power Assets Management Co., Ltd. (吉林瞻榆風電資產經營管理有限公司) is currently in the construction phase, and has not been carried out since the establishment of business, no income and no profits; although Jilin Electric Power Research Institute Co., Ltd. is in the normal operation, while there was an operating loss in January-May 2016.

In light of the above situation, assessment value is calculated by the carrying amount of net assets reflected in the unaudited statement provided by the two companies on 31 May 2016 and shareholding ratio of entities evaluated.

Assessment value of other investment = carrying amount of net assets of entities evaluated on valuation base date × shareholding ratio

3.
Valuation of long-term equity investment

Long-term investment refers to a behavior that in order to obtain investment interests and income, enterprise injects assets to the projects that are not directly used for the enterprise itself. The existence of long-term investment is for the interests of other enterprises, and the valuation of long-term equity investment, therefore, refers to a valuation of equity on behalf of the long-term investment.

The assessment staff verifies the authenticity and integrity of the long-term investment through the reason of long-term investment, verification of book value and actual situation with reference of investment agreement, resolution of shareholder meeting, prospectus and relevant accounting records. While the assessment staff arrives the scene to verify their assets and liabilities and prepares an overall investment of entities evaluated. Each entities evaluated has operated normally since their foundation, and maintain the original operating mode and obtain the proceeds. Asset-based method and income method are considered in the valuation therefor.

Assessment value of long-term investment = net assets after the overall valuation of entities evaluated × shareholding ratio

The valuation principles and methods of the parent company will be used in the valuation procedures of each equity investment company as well.

4.
Valuation of investment real estate

Investment real estate refers to 1 real estate measured by cost mode, and the valuation adopts the method of real estate combined with land.

Please refer to the Valuation of Building Construction for further details of the theory and formula of the valuation method.

5.
Valuation of building construction

Market method and replacement cost method are mainly adopted in the valuation for the scope of building construction on the basis of the use, acquisition and features of the building construction.

(1)
Market comparison method

The basic principle of the market comparison method refers to compare the transaction of real estate similar to the delegated building construction on or around valuation base date with the delegated building construction in line with substitution principle to prepare an evaluation of objectively justified price or value of delegated building construction. The formula is as followed:

Price of property for valuation = price of comparable cases × (transaction index of valuation target/ transaction index of comparable cases) × (property price index on the transaction date of the valuation target/property price index on the transaction date of the comparable cases) × (regional factors and conditions index of valuation target/regional factors and conditions index of comparable cases) (individual factors and conditions index of the valuation target/individual factors and conditions index of comparable cases).

(2)
Replacement cost method

Formula: estimated value = replacement costs × comprehensive newness rate
 
①     Determining the replacement cost
Replacement costs = civil and erection costs + preliminary work and other costs + capital costs

Construction and installation engineering cost:

Common buildings

 
- I(ii)-37 -

 

APPENDIX I(ii)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF JILIN POWER

Construction and installation engineering comprehensive cost = building engineering cost + decoration engineering cost + installation project cost

The valuers will choose representative buildings from buildings with same applications and structures according to the category of buildings, and determine the construction and installation engineering comprehensive cost on the valuation base date on the materials gathered that reflect the design, budget and final account, contract and the local construction project budget and building cost information.

Other buildings can be calculated with analogy method as per the construction and installation cost of other representative buildings from buildings with same applications and structures, combining the common data and parameter used for evaluation of buildings.

Special buildings

Special buildings mainly refers to buildings built to meet the requirement of enterprise production process, equipment installation and product characteristics, such as main power house of thermal power projects, cooling tower, chimneys, etc.. Their replacement cost should be calculated according to related industry quota respectively.

The early stage cost of capital is calculated according to the 2013 Budgeting and Calculation Regulations of Thermal Power Projects.

Cost of capital is chosen by the available prevailing lending rate on the valuation base date based on the reasonable duration of project construction determined by construction scale of the construction project. For thermal power generation facilities, the cost of capital is calculated according to the 2013 Budgeting and Calculation Regulations of Thermal Power Projects:

Coefficient of the cost of capital = capital cost coefficient before the electricity generation of the first unit + capital cost coefficient after the electricity generation of the first unit.

Among them:

Capital cost coefficient before the electricity generation = Σ [(cumulative investment at the beginning of the year + investment of the year/2) × annual interest rate]

Capital cost coefficient after the electricity generation of the first unit = Σ [(investment of the year/2)
× annual interest rate]

Cost of capital = (project cost + pre-project and other expenses) × coefficient of cost of capital

Determination of comprehensive newness rate

The comprehensive newness rate is determined by the weighted average of the two calculate result of age limit approach and exploration approach. The calculation formula is as follows:

Comprehensive newness rate = age limit approach of newness rate × 40% + scoring approach × 60%

 
- I(ii)-38 -

 

APPENDIX I(ii)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF JILIN POWER

Among them:

Age limit approach of newness rate = remaining durable years of the building ÷ economic and durable years of the building × 100%

The remaining durable years of the buildings refers to the remaining durable years of the building till the valuation base date. Generally it uses the durable yeas of the building minus the years already spent and make appropriate amendment according to the actual maintenance condition of the building.

The newness rate of scoring approach is determined according to the scoring standard of the newness rate of buildings with different structures, combining the site survey result of the structure, decoration and equipment (facilities) of the buildings.

The newness rate of scoring approach = scoring of the structure newness × G + scoring of decoration newness × S + scoring of equipment (facilities) newness × B

Evaluation of G, S and B is determined respectively according to ratio of the structure, decoration and equipment (facilities) in the total cost of the building

The scoring criteria of the newness of evaluated buildings are determined according to the national and local scoring criteria of the damage level and newness of the buildings, combining the requirement of design and usage of the buildings.

6.
Valuation on assets of equipment

The value standard of this valuation is the market value of the equipment in continuous use and in the open market. According to the characteristic of the appraised assets, this valuation of the appraised assets applied cost method.

Cost method refers to an asset valuation method that makes reference to the difference derived from deducting the physical depreciation, functional depreciation and other kinds of depreciation incurred by the appraised assets from the total price and proper expenses necessary for the replacement or construction of the new appraised assets under present conditions when determining the appraised value of the appraised assets. The cost method can also ascertain the value of the appraised asset by first estimating the newness of the appraised asset when compared with its brand new conditions, i.e. obtaining the newness rate, and then multiplying the newness rate by the total cost to obtain its appraised value.

The basic formula is as follows:

Appraisal value = replacement cost – physical depreciation – economic depreciation – functional depreciation

Or, appraisal value = replacement cost × newness rate

 
- I(ii)-39 -

 

APPENDIX I(ii)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF JILIN POWER

According to the collection of the market information and relevant parameters of the reported assets of equipment, appraisal value = replacement cost × newness rate is adopted as the calculation method for the valuation in this report.

(1)
Determination of replacement value

1
main equipment and the major auxiliary equipment

Replacement cost = purchase cost for equipment + comprehensive transportation fee + installation and engineering fee + other cost + capital cost – deductible increase tax

Purchase cost for equipment: the price for main equipment and the major auxiliary equipment, such as the boiler, the gas turbine machine, power generation machine, the transformer, etc., which shall be fixed through the inquiry to the manufacturer for the price published on the date of valuation basis date, or seek for the market price in current time from relevant quotation materials, or refer to the price of the same type equipment purchased in recent period.

Comprehensive transportation fee: according to the Budgeting Preparation and Calculation Standards of Thermal Power Generation Engineering Construction (2013) and other requirements as published by the NDRC, the comprehensive transportation fee is measured after considering the distance between the plant and the manufacturer for equipment and different transportation tools, which included the handling, transportation charge, procurement, safekeeping and other expenses incurred from the manufacturing plant to the work site of the equipment.

SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF JILIN POWER

Capital cost: The capital cost is confirmed according to the reasonable construction work period in this project, based on the total amount for the cost to purchase the equipment, the installation and engineering fee, and other fee with the interest rate of loan in the corresponding period on the valuation base date.
The formula is as follows

The interest payable on the loans during the construction period = the loan interest payable for the construction period before the first unit starts generating electrical power + the loan interest payable for the construction period after the first unit starts generating electrical power

In the above formula: the loan interest payable for the construction period before the first unit started generating electrical power = Σ [accumulated principal and interest of loans at the beginning of the year + the loans for that year/2) × annual interest rate]

The loan interest payable during the construction period after the first unit started generating power = Σ [(loans of the year/2 × annual interest rate]

The deductible input tax: according to the Notice of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on Several Issues Concerning the Transformation and Reform of Value-added Tax in China (Cai Shui [2008] No. 170) and the Notice of Carrying Out Business Tax Levy Value-added Tax Policy Pilot in the Transportation Industry and Part of Modern Service Industry in China (Cai Shui [2013] No. 37), input tax of newly purchased equipment and vehicles is to be deducted.

2           Transportation equipment

Replacement price = purchase cost of vehicle + vehicle purchase tax + license fees – deductible input tax

Purchase cost of vehicle: determined by referring to the latest transaction price of the same local vehicle type.

Purchase tax on vehicles: pursuant to the requirements of the PRC Tentative Regulations on Vehicle Purchase Tax (中華人民共和國車輛購置稅暫行條例) (No.294 order of the State Council for the year 2001) and Notice on the Reduction of the Purchase Tax on Vehicles for 1.6 Liters and the following Displacement of Passenger Vehicle from Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation ([2015] No.104), purchase tax on vehicles is calculated by 10% and 5% of the tax price, respectively.

Licence fee: The determination of licence fee is based on the reasonable level of charge standard of the local vehicle management department.

3           Other machinery and equipment

Total replacement costs = purchase price of equipment + freight and miscellaneous charges + installation and commissioning charges + cost of funds – deductible input tax

 
- I(ii)-41 -

 

APPENDIX I(ii)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF JILIN POWER

The amount is determined mainly according to the Handbook for Price Quotations of Mechanical and Electrical Products in China for the Year 2016 and the latest market trading price of the equipment. Further, according to the document “Cai Shui [2008] No. 170”, the value-added tax measured will be deducted from the total replacement costs of the equipment which meets the conditions for the deduction of value-added tax.

(2)
Determination of newness rate

The newness rate is determined via the on-site inspection on the use, construction environment, maintenance, observable conditions, utilization rate and availability of the equipment and upon exchange of views among operating crew and reference to necessary records inspected in respect of, among others, the operating conditions, incidents, repair and maintenance and performance assessment of such equipment.

1
Determination of newness rate of the electronic specific equipment and general machinery equipment

Its available usage period is confirmed mainly in accordance with the economic lifespan of the equipment, used period, the onsite investigation and understanding for the usage condition of equipment and the technology condition. The comprehensive newness rate can be fixed by the following formula on the basis of the available usage period.

The comprehensive newness rate = available usage period/(available period + used period) × 100%

Or the comprehensive newness rate is determined by the weighted average of the two calculating result of age limit approach and on-site exploration approach. The calculation formula is as follows:

Comprehensive newness rate = age limit approach of newness rate × 40% + on-site exploration approach of newness rate × 60%

2
Determination of newness rate of the small size equipment such as the electronic equipment and air conditioners

The comprehensive newness rate can be fixed mainly through its economic lifespan; the comprehensive newness rate of the large size electronic equipment can be fixed through the reference of its work environment, and operation of the equipment. The formula is as above.

3           Determination of newness rate of vehicles

According to the provision stipulated in the Standard to Discard Automobile Compulsorily (No. 12 Order in 2012) issued by Ministry of Commerce, National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Public Security and Ministry of Environment Protection on 27 December 2012, the newness rate shall be determined by vehicle miles traveled and method of actual service life in light of the principle of whichever lower (for the vehicles not subject to mandatory scrap, the newness rate in theory is calculated by adopting

 
- I(ii)-42 -

 
 
APPENDIX I(ii)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF JILIN POWER

the method of actual service life). At last, choose the lower data of which newness rate determined by life and newness rate determined by miles and average with the on-site surveyed newness rate to calculate comprehensive newness rate. The formula is as follows:

Newness rate determined by life (with no mandatory scrap life) = available-for-use life/(serviced life + available-for-use life) × 100%

Newness rate determined by life (with mandatory scrap life) = (prescribed service life – serviced life)/ prescribed service life × 100%

Newness rate determined by miles = (prescribed miles – traveled miles)/prescribed miles × 100%

Comprehensive newness rate = MIN (Newness rate determined by life, newness rate determined by miles) × 40% + on-site surveyed newness rate × 60%

(3)
The determination of valuation price

Valuation price = repurchase full price × comprehensive newness rate

7.
Valuation of construction in progress

The construction in progress includes civil works and the projects of equipment installation.

In this valuation, the construction in progress is evaluated by adopting the cost method, in other words, to determine the price for replacement by identifying the total cost required to re-form the quantity of finished works of construction in progress as of the valuation base date under normal conditions. When there is obviously serious material obsolete devaluation, functional obsolete devaluation and economic obsolete devaluation, it needs to deduct all depreciation sums or otherwise the depreciation sum would be null. The total cost here generally includes direct costs (including preliminary costs), indirect costs that need to be calculated and other costs, capital costs, etc.. Specific cost items and the amounts should be determined according to the standards promulgated by the relevant departments that are still in force and the existing current price on the valuation base date.
In addition, Huaneng Group (華能集團) has approved the construction in progress of verified destruction, and the valuation is zero.

(II)
Determination of valuation conclusions

Assets-based method and income method are considered in the valuation of the total shareholder’s equity of entities evaluated, and the result from income method is lower than that from assets-based method. The discrepancy between the two methods attributed to:

Firstly, assets-based estimate assesses the market value of assets from the perspective of the replacement of the assets, and recognises the overall value of the enterprise through the current value of each asset. Income method assesses the market value of assets from the perspective of the contribution from

 
- I(ii)-49 -

 

APPENDIX I(ii)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF JILIN POWER

each asset to the enterprise’s value, that is, based on the expected earnings level of the overall asset of the enterprise, and quantifies and presents the current value of the economic interest that is expected to enable to inflow into the enterprise.

Secondly, the entities evaluated principally engage in the production, operating, management and sales of electric and thermal power, and carry out the business, including thermal power, wind power, and biomass power generation. Their grid tariffs are affected by the national pricing policy, and the rigid increase in cost is not expected to be absorbed in the future, which results in the lower income level in the future; and under the influence of the power supply demand, power generating hours are not so higher, and the fluctuation is much bigger in the recent years, which results in the failure to effectively use its designed generating capacity; the debt ratio of the entities evaluated is high, and the financial interest expense is huge.

The valuer took fully consideration into the operating character of the entities evaluated combing the purpose of the evaluation, and considered after the comprehensive analysis that it is rational to take the result of assets-based method as the market value of the total shareholder’s equity of the entities evaluated, that is the marker value of the total shareholder’s equity of the Huaneng Jilin Power Generation Co., Ltd. (華能吉林發電有限公司) on the valuation base date was RMB555.0057 million.

XI.
STATEMENT OF SPECIAL ISSUES

 
1.
The valuation is conducted on the basis of auditing, and Auditor’s Report on the of valuation base date is an important basis for this valuation.

 
2.
For the tax payable due from Huaneng Jilin Power Generation Co., Ltd. (華能吉林發電有限公 ), the valuation conclusion should be adjusted correspondingly based on the audit conclusion after the tax department has checked the situation of tax payment.

 
3.
Financial assets available for sale held by the entities evaluated – the valuation of stock investment is determined by the closing price on the valuation base date without consideration of the relevant taxes payable for the disposal of marketable securities. The price of shares listed and traded fluctuated under the influence of the supply-demand relation and other factors in the market. Therefore, the valuation results will be adjusted according to the change of price in stock market in the future.

 
4.
Among vehicles covered in this valuation, the owners’ names recorded on the driving licenses of the 5 passenger cars are not the entities evaluated. It is said that it was because the transfer formalities had not been handled after being used by the subordinate units of the entities evaluated. And this valuation does not consider the matter’s effect on the valuation conclusion.

 
5.
Among house buildings covered in this valuation, No.399 property located at Xinghuo Road has no property ownership certificates. The valuation is based on the valuation areas in the house purchase contracts. If the area on the certificates differs from that in the house purchase contracts after the valuation base date, it would be necessary to make corresponding adjustments according to valuation method.

VALUATION METHOD

(I)
Selection of valuation method

When valuing the value of enterprise, we have to analysis the applicability of the basic methods of asset valuation basing on the valuation purpose, valuation object, value type, assets collection and other conditions to select one or more than one basic valuation methods.

According to provisions under asset valuation standards of China, there are three basic methods, namely, the income method, the market method and the asset-based method may be adopted in valuation.

The income method under the valuation of enterprise refers to the method of valuation by which the valuation object is determined by capitalizing or converting the anticipated income. The market method under the valuation of enterprise refers to the method of valuation by which the valuation object is determined by comparing the valuation object with comparable listed companies or comparable trading cases. The asset-based approach under the valuation of enterprise refers to the method of valuation by which the value of valuation object is determined after reasonably valuating the assets and liabilities included into and excluded from the enterprise reporting form on the basis of the balance sheet of the enterprise subject to valuation as of the valuation base date.

Based on our knowledge of the state of operation, business plans and development plans of the company under valuation as well as our research in the industry and market that the company is operated in, we came to believe that the company is expected to operate in an on-going basis in the future and therefore eligible for the revenue-based method in the valuation.

 
- I(iii)-18 -

 

APPENDIX I(iii)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF
HEILONGJIANG POWER

In view of the financial data and asset management data of the business under valuation were complete and available, the sources of the data and information on the asset re-procurement cost were fairly varied, and that there is inherent relation and substitution between the asset replacement cost and the then present value of earnings, therefore, the asset-basis method was also applicable to the present valuation project.

Through the above analysis, the present valuation project was considered through according to the asset-basis method and revenue-based method respectively; on the basis of a comparison of the valuation conclusions arrived at through the two methods, the factors behind the differences between the two conclusions would be analyzed, so as to ultimately identify the appraisal value.

(II)
Overview of the asset-basis method

In this method, the amount of investment that would be required on the valuation base date to re- create a business enterprise or independent for-profit entity that was identical with the business under valuation was adopted as the basis on which the total asset value of the business was decided. Specifically, it is a method through which the value of a business enterprise is identified by the sum of the appraisal value of component assets of the business minus the appraisal value of the liabilities of the business.

The valuation methods for different types of assets and liabilities are as follows:

1.
On the valuation of current assets

 
(1)
monetary capital: the valuers verifies the cash holdings of the business under valuation through on-site surveys, and calculate retrospectively to identify the amount of cash held by the business on the base day of valuation, and carry out trial balancing on the basis of bank statements and bank balance adjustment table. After proper verification, the verified book value of monetary capital denominated in RMB should be adopted as the appraisal value;

 
(2)
note receivables: the valuer shall inspect the general account, the itemized account, financial statement and the detail list of the valuation. Secondly, the note in the stock shall be supervised so as to verify the related content in the registration book of the note receivables. If the bill has been recovered on the date of on-site verification by valuer, and the subsidiary accounts checked and verified the receipt of payment, bank deposit and note receivables by the valuer is true, the book value can be used as the valuation result. For the bank acceptance bill. if the bill has not been recovered on the date of on-site verification by valuer, the book value can be used as the valuation result.

 
(3)
receivables (receivables, interest receivables, other receivables and non-current assets due within one year): through accessing books, original vouchers and on the basis of analyses of economic contents and account receivable ages and a combination of individual identification and account receivable analysis, the amount recoverable from receivable and the assessed risks of sums recoverable in the future, so as to identify the appraisal value of the receivables.

APPENDIX I(iii)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF
HEILONGJIANG POWER

In determining the appraised value of long-term equity investment, valuers did not take into account the effect of premium and liquidity resulted from the shareholding.

4.
Valuation of Investment property

Investment properties included in the valuation scope was the office building of Huaneng Heilongjiang Power Generation Co., Ltd. located at Fendou Road (currently known as Guogeli Avenue) of Nangang District. The property is presented in book value as valuers found out that it was subject to dispute and its title was uncertain after investigating the property and the books for verification purpose.

5.
Valuation of Machinery and Equipment

Equipment and machinery were evaluated mostly by the cost method according to conditions such as the characteristics of the equipment, types of values appraised and the collection of materials. The formula of the cost method is as follows:

Appraisal value = replacement cost × comprehensive newness rate

(1)
Determination of the replacement cost
 
①     Transportation equipment
 
Replacement cost is determined by the market value (net of tax) as at the valuation base date plus other reasonable cost such as vehicle purchase tax and license fee. The formula of the cost method of transportation cost is as follows:

Replacement cost= purchase price (net of tax) + purchase price × 10%/(1+17%) + license fee

Electronic device

Electrical devices included in the valuation scope is of low value and need no installation (or provider being responsible for installation) with low transportation cost. It is determined with reference to the purchase price (net of tax) prevailing in the market.

(2)
Determination of comprehensive newness rate

ƒ
The newness rate of vehicles used for transportation purposes was mainly determined according to the Provisions on the Standards for the Compulsory Scrapping of Motor Vehicles (Order of the Ministry of Commerce, National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Environmental Protection [2012] No. 12). If a number of years that a vehicle was in use or a mileage was specified under the standards as the threshold for compulsory decommissioning of motor vehicles, the lower of the two newness rates calculated according to the number of years and mileages should be adopted as the actual newness rate and adjusted according to the findings of on-

 
- I(iii)-21 -

 

APPENDIX I(iii)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF
HEILONGJIANG POWER

site inspection; however, if no number of years was specified under the standards as the threshold for scrapping a motor vehicle, then the newness rate should be identified according to the mileage and adjusted according to the findings of on-site inspection. The calculation formulas are as follows:

Mileage-based newness rate = (the specified mileage – mileage already covered)/specified mileage × 100%

the newness rate based on service life = (the economic life – number of years for which the vehicle has been used)/the statutory economic life × 100%

the comprehensive newness rate = theoretical news rate + adjustment coefficient

Newness Rate of Electronic Devices

Newness rate = (1 – the number of years that the devices had already been used/the economic life) × 100%

or the newness rate = [number of remaining years/(number of elapsed years + number of remaining years)] × 100%

Further, electronic devices that were evaluated directly at the second-hand-market price were exempted from newness rate.

(3)
Determination of appraisal value
 
Appraisal value = full replacement price × comprehensive newness rate

Value of some of the devices was determined with their second-hand-market price directly, while value of devices to be scrapped was determined based on their realizable value.

6.
On the valuation of buildings and structures

In view of the specific purpose of the valuation, market approach was adopted in the valuation of buildings to determine the appraised value of each building. Investment property was stated in book value as its title was subject to dispute and the property ownership certificate was not obtained.

The market comparison method is a method through which eligible real estates were evaluated through comparing such real estate with similar real estate traded not long before or after the valuation base date and adjusting the known price of the traded similar real estates. In practice, the real estates designated for evaluation were placed in one and the same market as three similar real estates which had been traded and had the same useful values as the designated one and a similar surrounding environment similar to that of the designated one. After that, in light of the transaction profile, date, location and case-specific factors and service life of the appraised real estate, so as to identify the appraisal value of the appraised real estate on the valuation base date.

 
- I(iii)-22 -

 

APPENDIX I(iii)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF
HEILONGJIANG POWER

The calculation formula under the market comparison method is as follows:

The adjusted price of a case = the price of the case × a × b × c × d × e

a  = [(adjustment on the date of transaction)/100]

b = [100/(transaction profile adjustment]

c = [100/(adjustment to the location factor)]

d = [100/(individual factor adjustment)]

e = service life correction factor

In the above formulas, the valuation object is adopted as the benchmark, with a score of 100. The market value of such assets on the valuation base date was identified through proper adjustment.

The exact procedures are as follows:
 
①     Selecction of actual cases of transaction
 
Choose real estate transaction cases that are within the same geographical or supply-and demand range as the appraised real estate and are similar with actual cases similar to the appraised real estate. The standards for the selection of actual cases are as follows: the reference real estates were traded real estates in an area neighboring the location where the appraised real estate was located or were within the same demand-and-supply world as the appraised real estate. The reference real estates were the same as the appraised real estate in terms of type of transaction and the land they occupy should belong to the same category. The transaction of a reference real estate is either normal transaction or a transaction that can be adjusted to be normal. The reference real estate should be a transaction case that occurred recently (within one year); the individual factors of the reference real estate must be essentially the same as and comparable with those of the appraised real estate.

Adjustment of transaction time

The transaction time of the reference real estate is different from the transaction time of the appraised real estate. Therefore, the two may be different in terms of the transaction price. Therefore, it is necessary to make adjustment in light of the impact of difference in transaction time on price.

ƒ
Adjustment to trading on the market

Certain special transaction factors in the transaction price of the reference real estate must be eliminated, such as whether the two parties to the transaction were related, whether the seller concluded transaction in haste in order to realize cash or whether the buyer purchased in a hurry, and special and unique preferences on the part of the two parties to the transaction.

 
- I(iii)-23 -

 

APPENDIX I(iii)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF
HEILONGJIANG POWER

Adjustment made in light of the location factor

The transaction price of the reference real estate should be adjusted according to the location factors of the area in which the appraised real estate was in and in light of the differences between the area where the reference real estate was located and that where the appraised real estate was located in terms of prosperity, communication accessibility and environmental quality.

Making adjustments in light of the unique individual factors

The price of the reference real estate is adjusted in light of the unique individual factors of the appraised real estate, such as whether it is on the side of any road or street, building structure, layout, equipment and decoration, degree of recency, property services and support services and facilities.

The remaining portion of the licensed land use period is adjusted according to the following formula:
 
                     
In the above formula:

“r” stands for the discount rate;

“n” stands for the remaining portion of the licensed land use period of the reference case;

“m”  refers to the remaining portion of the licensed land use period of the appraised real estate.

The adjustment rates of the reference real estate and the designated reference real estate should be calculated separately.

Identify the price of the appraised real estate

The adjusted price of the comparable case the transaction price of the comparable case × (transaction time of the appraised real estate/the transaction time of the reference real estate) × (normal transaction conditions/transaction conditions of the reference real estate) × (value of the location factors of the appraised real estate/value of the location factors of the reference real estate) × (the unique individual factors of the appraised real estate/the unique individual factors of the reference real estate) × land use right period adjustment rate.

Calculate the mathematic average of the adjusted prices of the comparable cases so as to identify the assessed unit price of the appraised real estate.

Price of the appraised real estate = the assessed unit price of the appraised real estate × floor space of the appraised real estate

7.
Valuation of work in progress

The valuation of work in progress in the present valuation project was evaluated by replacement cost. To avoid repeated valuation and omissions of assets value, and give full consideration in progress, the following valuation method was adopted:

 
(1)
in the case of any project which started within 6 months prior to the valuation base date, the balance between the value declared by the company, minus unreasonable items of expenditure upon proper verification was adopted as the appraisal value.

 
(2)
in the case of a project still in progress that was started more than six months prior to the valuation base date, if it was confirmed by the valuation team through on-site investigation that all fees and costs had been appropriately paid, and the payment progress was consistent with the progress of the project, and the book value of the project did not include capital cost, the appraisal value should be calculated on the basis of the replacement cost plus capital cost (a reasonable term multiplied by the benchmark daily interest rate).

8.
Valuation on the disposal of fixed assets

Valuers reviewed purchase contracts, asset cards and checked some of the assets selectively to determine the value based on their realisable value.

9.
Valuation of intangible asset

Valuer checked the intangible assets involved in the valuation scope, subsidiary ledger and general ledger according to the breakdown submitted by the company to verify the consistency between accounts, accounts and assets as well as accounts and statements; collected ownership certificates and similar information to verify the ownership of such intangible assets; checked the consistency between information set out in the ownership certificate and the details reported, and made adjustment in accordance with ownership certificates if there was any difference in the details reported; found out the current status and uses of such intangible assets.

Other intangible assets involved in the valuation scope included office software purchased externally. In terms of software for specific use, valuers took the book value after amortisation as their appraised value. For general software, valuers determined the appraised value by deducting the upgrading cost from sales price of identical software on the valuation base date.

10.
Valuation of liabilities

Current liabilities include short-term loans, accounts payables, other payables, remuneration payables to employees, tax payables, interest payables and non-current liability due within a year; non-current liabilities include long-term loans. The valuation personnel, on the basis of breakdown statements of different items of liabilities and relevant financial data, provided by the company, verified the book value of the liabilities and identified the value of the company’s liabilities according to the account of liabilities that the company actually undertook.

(II)
Analysis of the valuation conclusion:

The operation and profitability might not be stable for the coming years and it might be mainly engaged in investment and management. Therefore, revenue methods might not give a true view of the company’s real value. In view of the fact that the purpose of the present valuation was to serve equity transfer, therefore, the equity value under valuation should be the inherent value of the equity on the precondition that the object under valuation operates in a normal manner. The asset-based method, which adopts the existing assets of the company as its precondition, is believed to produce an evaluation result that is more prudent and more realistic from the perspective of future investors. Therefore, the result reached by the asset-based method was adopted as the final valuation conclusion in this report.

VII
VALUATION METHOD

(I)
Selection of valuation method

When valuing the value of enterprise, we have to analysis the applicability of the basic methods of asset valuation basing on the valuation purpose, valuation object, value type, assets collection and other conditions to select one or more than one basic valuation methods.

According to provisions under asset valuation standards of China, there are three basic methods, namely, the income method, the market method and the asset-based method may be adopted in valuation.

The income method under the valuation of enterprise refers to the method of valuation by which the valuation object is determined by capitalizing or converting the anticipated income. The market method under the valuation of enterprise refers to the method of valuation by which the valuation object is


 
- I(iv)-16 -

 

APPENDIX I(iv)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF
ZHONGYUAN CCGT

determined by comparing the valuation object with comparable listed companies or comparable trading cases. The asset-based approach under the valuation of enterprise refers to the method of valuation by which the value of valuation object is determined after reasonably valuating the assets and liabilities included into and excluded from the enterprise reporting form on the basis of the balance sheet of the enterprise subject to valuation as of the valuation base date.

On the basis of our knowledge of the current state of operation and management of the business under valuation, as well as the business plans and development plans and the industry and market that the business is based on, we came to believe that the business was expected to have sustainable operation and profit-making capabilities and therefore eligible for the income method.

In view of the financial data and asset management data of the business under valuation were completed and available, the sources of the data and information on the asset re-procurement cost were fairly varied, and that there is inherent relation and substitution between the asset replacement cost and the present value of earnings, therefore, the asset-basis method was also applicable to the present valuation project.

In the case of the market-based method, it was applicable provided that there was an active and open market, with reasonably sufficient market data and comparable cases of transaction on the open market. However, the equity transaction market in China for non-listed companies was not fully developed, and therefore few comparable cases were in evidence; on the other hand, few of the listed companies that are in the same category as the business under valuation were comparable with the business in terms of operation orientation, scope of assets and scale of operation, among others; if an ordinary case was selected instead, major adjustment would be made to the case, as a result of which the case would largely lose its value orientation for the present project and hence would be unable to meet the applicability conditions of the market method. Therefore, this method is not eligible.

Through the above analysis, it was decided that the present valuation project was considered through the asset-basis method and income method respectively; on the basis of a comparison of the valuation conclusions arrived at through the two methods, the factors behind the differences between the two conclusions would be analyzed, so as to ultimately identify the appraisal value.

(II)
Overview of the asset-basis method

In this method, the amount of investment that would be required on the valuation base date to re- create a business enterprise or independent for-profit entity that was identical with the business under valuation was adopted as the basis on which the total asset value of the business was decided. Specifically, it is a method through which the value of a business enterprise is identified by the sum of the appraisal value of component assets of the business minus the appraisal value of the liabilities of the business.

The valuation methods for different types of assets and liabilities are as follows:


 
- I(iv)-17 -

 

APPENDIX I(iv)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF
ZHONGYUAN CCGT

1.
On the valuation of current assets

 
(1)
Monetary capital: the valuers carry out trial balancing on the basis of bank statements and bank balance adjustment table. After proper verification, the verified book value of monetary capital denominated in RMB should be adopted as the appraisal value;

 
(2)
Note receivables: according to the asset valuation declaration forms provided by entities evaluated, we have verified the book value of enterprise and inspected the accounting information and other relevant information. In the process of inspection and verification, there is no amount due to obvious bad debt in this subject, and the book value upon the inspection is used as the valuation result when the credit of the unit to issue the note is good.

 
(3)
receivables (receivables, prepayments and other receivables): through accessing books, original vouchers and on the basis of analyses of economic contents and account receivable ages and a combination of individual identification and account receivable analysis, the amount recoverable from receivables and the assessed risks of sums recoverable in the future, so as to identify the appraisal value of the receivables.

 
(4)
stock: mainly include low value consumables.

The stock included into the scope of the present valuation project were mostly low value consumables recently purchased spare parts for maintenance the production equipment. The cost of the low value consumables consisted of the actually cost incurred by the business in connection with the low value consumables. The business procured its low value consumables strictly in light of the total maintenance volume of the products. The low value consumables were purchased in light of the amount required for maintenance and on the basis of the most economical batches. If the unit prices in the books were close to the selling unit prices on the market on the base date, the verified unit prices of the low value consumables were adopted as the valuation unit price and the appraisal value of the low value consumables was identified by multiplying the unit prices with the actual amount of low value consumables on the base date. In the case where the unit prices in the books were considerably different from the unit selling prices on the market on the base date, the market prices on the valuation base date should be adopted as the unit price for the purpose of the valuation. The appraisal value of the materials was then identified by multiplying such prices with the actual amount of low value consumables on the base date. For the stock failed to specific assets items, the appraisal value sets out in accordance with the book value.

2.
On the valuation of buildings and structures

For the specific purpose of the present valuation project, the buildings and structures were mostly evaluated according to the replacement cost method, so as to identify the appraisal value of the buildings and structures. For the production buildings built in factory adopts the replacement cost method for valuation assessment.


 
- I(iv)-18 -

 

APPENDIX I(iv)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF
ZHONGYUAN CCGT

In the case of key construction project, the replacement cost is mainly calculated on the basis of “budget and final accounts adjustment” or “re-budgeting”, i.e., to calculate the cost of the project at the base date on the basis of appropriate adjustment to the amount of work under the original proposed budget or financial accounts and according to the existing proposed budget quotas and rates of fees and costs. In the case of buildings and structures, “Electrical Power Estimates Norms” and “Proposed Budget Norms for Electrical Power Development Projects (2013 Edition)”.

① 
Calculation of the cost of construction and installation projects

Construction and installation project cost = direct project costs + other fees and costs

In the formula, the direct engineering cost is based on the base date and subject to the amount of work under the final accounts statement and the engineering drawings as well as onsite investigation. The direct cost of a project was calculated on the basis of Budgetary Estimate Norms for Electric Power Development Projects-Construction Engineering (2013 Edition) promulgated by the China State Administration of Energy and according to the corresponding sub-items of norms.

Other costs and fees: on the basis of the direct project costs, such items as measures fee, indirect costs and fees, formality fees, expected profits and taxes (if the project is located in one of the Category I areas) are calculated and collected on the basis of the Compilation and Calculation Standards for the Construction Budget of Thermal Power Generation Projects (2013) released via the Circular of the National Energy Administration on Promulgating the 2013 Edition of the Provisions on the Norms and Cost Calculation of Electric Power Development Projects (Guo Neng Dian Li [2013] No. 289). In addition, price differences in human resources, supplies and equipment were adjusted according to Circular on Adjusting the 2013 Edition of the Norm and Price Levels of the Budgetary Estimates of Electric Power Development Projects (Ding E [2014] No. 1) issued by the Electrical Engineering Cost and Norm Management Center.

Calculation of capital cost

Capital cost (loan interest payable during the construction period): the capital cost was identified on the basis of a reasonable construction period, the benchmark interest rate of RMB loans offered by financial institutions for the period covering the base date of valuation, with the construction and installation project cost adopted as the base.

In the case of thermal power generation units, the interest payable on each power generation units was calculated respectively according to the following formula:

The interest payable on the loans during the construction period = the loan interest payable for the construction period before the first unit started generating electrical power + the loan interest payable for the construction period after the first unit started generating electrical power

In the formula: the loan interest payable for the construction period before the first unit started generating electrical power = ∑[accumulated principal and interest of loans at the beginning of the year + the loans for that year/2) × annual interest rate]

ƒ
Calculation of replacement cost

Replacement cost = construction and installation project price + capital cost.

Calculation of newness rate

For the purpose of the present valuation project, the newness rate was determined on the basis of both the newness rate identified through on-site investigation and the grading method and the theoretical newness rate identified through the economic life method, with the weighted average of the two rates reached by the two methods adopting as the comprehensive newness rate of the buildings.

The newness rate identified through on-site investigation was based on the structural aspects of the buildings (such as the foundation, load-bearing components, walls, roofs, floors, and floor grounds, etc), decoration aspects, including the decoration of both external and internal walls, and the equipment aspects, including the water and power supplies and bathrooms, etc, with the standard score of such aspects determined according to their respective proportions in the cost of the buildings; the assessed integrity scores of the aspects were then determined through on-site investigation. On the basis of the scores, the integrity score of a building as whole was identified, on the basis of which the newness rate (based on on-site survey) of the building was arrived at.

The newness rate based on on-site investigation (%) = ∑Integrity score/standard score × 100%

Theoretical integrity rate (%) = (economic life period of the building – the elapsed proportion of the life period)/economic life period × 100%

Comprehensive rate of newness (%) = newness rate based on on-site investigation × 60% + theoretical newness rate ×40%

If the theoretical newness rate is calculated to be lower than 30%, the building old but used in a normal way, 30% should be adopted as the comprehensive rate of newness of the building.

Calculation of appraisal value

Appraisal value = replacement cost × comprehensive newness rate

3.
Valuation of machinery and equipment

Equipment and machinery were evaluated mostly by the cost method according to such conditions as the characteristics of the machinery and equipment, types of values appraised and the collection of materials. The formula of cost-based method is as follows:

Appraisal value = replacement cost × comprehensive newness rate

Determination of the replacement cost

①           Thermal power equipment

In the case of equipment which needs to be installed, the replacement cost usually includes equipment purchase price, freight and miscellaneous charges, installation fees, upfront costs and other expenses and costs;

As to the machinery and equipment that needs no installation, the replacement cost generally include equipment purchase price and freight and miscellaneous charges. Meanwhile, according to the document Cai Shui [2008] No.170, for an ordinary value-added-tax payer, if the machinery and equipment that meet the qualification conditions for value-added tax credits, the amount of VAT that otherwise is payable should be deducted from the replacement cost of such equipment and machinery. The formula of the replacement cost of the equipment is as follows:

Replacement cost of the machinery and equipment which needs installation = purchase price + freight miscellaneous charges + installation cost + upfront costs and other expenses + capital cost + capital cost – VAT deductible from equipment purchase cost and VAT deductible from freight charge

Replacement cost of the machinery and equipment that do not need installation = equipment purchase price + freight and miscellaneous charges – VAT deductible from equipment purchase cost and VAT deductible from freight charge

A.
Purchase price

For large and essential equipment, their purchase prices were identified on the basis of the 2016 Quotation Handbook for Mechanical and Electrical Products of China, market prices (as per the Valuation Base Date of valuation) solicited from manufacturers, or the price of the same kind of equipment under contracts valid at a time not far from the Valuation Base Date. In the case of small equipment, the purchase prices were mostly identified through consulting the quotation information on the market as per the Valuation Base Date of valuation. In the case of equipment with no available price quotations, their purchase prices were mainly determined on the basis of the purchase prices of equipment of the same kind.

B.
Freight and miscellaneous charges

Rate of freight and miscellaneous charges were calculated according to the Standards for the Compilation and Computation of the Budgets for Thermal Power Generation Projects as promulgated by the National Energy Administration in 2013, in combination with the distance from the equipment manufacturer to the installation site as well as the mode of transportation used. The calculation formula is as follows:

Freight and miscellaneous charges of equipment = Purchase price of equipment × Rate of freight and miscellaneous charges of equipment

Capital cost

Capital cost was determined on the basis of a reasonable project term, at the benchmark RMB loan interest rate offered by financial institutions for the period covering the valuation base date, and on the basis of the sum of the equipment purchase fee, installation fee and other fees.

In the case of thermal power generation units, the interest payable on each power generation units was calculated respectively according to the following formula:

The interest payable on the loans during the construction period = the loan interest payable for the construction period before the first unit starts generating electrical power + the loan interest payable for the construction period after the first unit starts generating electrical power

In the above formula: the loan interest payable for the construction period before the first unit started generating electrical power = ∑[accumulated principal and interest of loans at the beginning of the year + the loans of the year/2) × annual interest rate]

The loan interest payable during the construction period after the first unit started generating electrical power =∑[(the loans for that year/2× annual interest rate]

F.
VAT deductible from the purchase price of equipment

The amount of deductible VAT for equipment qualified for VAT credits was calculated according to the document Cai Shui [2008] No. 170.

As for transportation equipment

Their replacement cost was determined on the basis of their market price on the valuation base date, plus such other reasonable expenses as vehicle purchase tax and license fee. The calculation formula of the replacement cost of machinery and equipment is as follows:

Replacement cost = purchase price + purchase price × 10% / (1 + 17%) + license fee

(2)
Determination of comprehensive newness rate

Newness rate of machinery and equipment

The newness rate of equipment was identified on the basis of the weighted average of the theoretical newness rate (N1) and investigation-based newness rate (N2). That is to say, Newness Rate (N) = theoretical
newness rate N1 × 0.4 Investigation-based newness N2 × 0.6

Theoretical newness rate N1: it was calculated on the basis of the number of years that the equipment and machinery had been in use and valuation-based economic life period of the machinery and equipment of different types, or on the basis of the findings of on-site investigation and the remaining service life in excess of the economic life calculated on the basis of the major repair cycle and numbers:


 
- I(iv)-24 -

 

APPENDIX I(iv)
SUMMARY OF ASSET VALUATION REPORT OF
ZHONGYUAN CCGT

Theoretical newness rate N1 = (1 – the number of years for which the equipment and machinery have been used/economic life period) × 100%

Or: theoretical newness rate N1 = the number of remaining years / (the number of years for which the equipment and machinery have been used + the number of remaining years that the machinery and equipment can be used) × 100%

Investigation-based newness rate N2: investigation-based newness rate was identified through on-site investigation of the then current state of the equipment, accessing archives materials on the operation, maintenance and management of the equipment and inspection the components of the equipment.

Newness rate of electronic devices

Newness rate = (1 – the number of years that the devices had already been used/the economic life of the equipment and machinery) ×100%

Or the newness rate = [number of remaining years/the number of years that the devices had already been used + number of remaining years] ×100%

Further, electronic devices that were evaluated directly at the second-hand-market price were exempted from newness rate.

ƒ
The newness rate of vehicles used for shipping purposes was mainly determined according to the Provisions on the Standards for the Compulsory Scrapping of Motor Vehicles (Order of the Ministry of Commerce, National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Environmental Protection [2012] No. 12). If a number of years that a vehicle was in use or a mileage was specified under the standards as the threshold for compulsory decommissioning of motor vehicles, the lower of the two newness rates calculated according to the number of years and mileages should be adopted as the actual newness rate; however, if no number of years was specified under the standards as the threshold for scrapping a motor vehicle, then the newness rate should be identified according to the mileage and adjusted according to the findings of on-site inspection. The calculation formulas are as follows:

Mileage-based newness rate = (the specified mileage – mileage already covered)/specified mileage x 100%

The newness rate based on service life = (the statutory service life – number of years for which the vehicle has been used)/the statutory service life x 100%

The comprehensive newness rate = theoretical news rate x adjustment coefficient

We conducted our engagement in accordance with the Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) “Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information” issued by the HKICPA.

We have reviewed the underlying forecasts (the “Forecasts”) of the Valuation, for which you as the directors of Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the “Company”) are solely responsible. We have attended the discussions involving the management of the Company and the Independent Valuer in respect of the bases and assumptions upon which the Forecasts have been made.

We have also considered the letter addressed solely to and for the sole benefit of the directors of the Company from KPMG (the “Auditor”) dated 14 October 2016 regarding the calculations upon which the Forecasts have been made as set out in Appendix I to this announcement date 14 October 2016 (the “Announcement”) regarding the Valuation.

The Forecasts have been prepared using a set of assumptions that include hypothetical assumptions about future events and other assumptions that may or may not necessarily be expected to occur and, as such, the Forecasts may not be appropriate for purposes other than for deriving the Valuation. Even if the events anticipated under the hypothetical assumptions occur, actual results are still likely to differ from the Forecasts since such anticipated events frequently may or may not occur as expected and the variation may be material.
