During the reporting period, due to the year-on-year decline in coal prices, the profitability of the company'sthermal power business gradually recovered;2. Due to the increase of on-grid electricity in wind power business, the operating income has increased.However, due to the end of trial operation of wind power projects such as in Yangjiang and Wuxuan, theconstruction in progress has been converted into fixed assets and depreciated, and the net profit has decreasedyear-on-year.3. Benefiting from the decrease in coal prices, the joint stock company Guoneng Taishan Company's operatingperformance has improved, and the company's investment income has increased by 55.79 million yuan year-on-year, a growth rate of 101%; One of the sources of income for the participating company Shanxi EnergyCompany is its investment income in coal mines. Due to the decrease in coal prices, Shanxi Energy Company'sGuangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. The Semi-annual Report 2023 24profits have decreased year-on-year. Therefore, the company's investment income in Shanxi Energy Companydecreased by 22.45 million yuan year-on-year, a decrease of 8%.IX.Structured vehicle controlled by the company□ Applicable √ Not applicableX. Risks facing the company and countermeasures1. Operating results need to be further consolidatedThis year, the overall fuel price showed a downward trend, and the profitability of the company's thermalpower business continued to recover, however some power plants were still in a state of continuous losses, andthe operating situation was not yet stable. At present, the company is in a critical period of "coping with thepeak in summer", and the fuel price trend in the second half of the year is still unclear, therefore it is uncertainwhether the company can further consolidate its operating results in the second half of the year.Countermeasures: First, continue to promote the "accurate inventory" strategy, follow up the progress ofelectricity and consumption in real time, adjust operating decisions in time, and further improve the level of fuelmanagement; Second, optimize the procurement structure, strengthen the management of coal blending, andwell ensure coal inventory management during peak coping in summer; Third, actively adapt to the changes inthe power marketing model, actively seek changes and take initiatives, improve the quality of marketing dataanalysis and management, scientifically coordinate the company's electricity trading decisions, and activelystrive for more efficient electricity.2. Safety management foundation needs to be strengthenedSome thermal power plants in the company have been running for a long time, and in the spot marketenvironment, the unit starts and stops frequently, and the equipment failure problem is increasingly notable,which affects the reliability and economy of the safe operation of the unit; Some contractors do not pay enoughattention to work safety and have insufficient safety management ability, therefore the company's safetymanagement system needs to be further improved.Countermeasures: First, strengthen the whole life cycle management and preventive management ofequipment, well ensure the maintenance quality and guarantee the stable and reliable operation of the unit;Second, improve the construction of safety management system, strengthen the standardization construction ofwork safety, and compile the guidance system documents; Third, strengthen the debugging guidance ofinfrastructure projects, innovate management methods, strengthen contractor management, and ensure the safeand high-quality production of the project; Fourth, carry out in-depth investigation and rectification of safetyhazards, continue to carry out special investigation and rectification actions of accident hazards, and strengthenclosed-loop management of hazards.3. Pressure of power supply structure adjustment is highWith the gradual landing of China's carbon peaking and carbon neutrality target, thermal power will betransformed from the main power supply to the basic power supply, and the proportion of new energy installedwill gradually increase By the end of June 2023, the installed capacity of the company's coal-fired powerholding accounted for 69.04%, with a high proportion. During the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" period, the companyhas vigorously promoted the investment and construction of clean energy projects and continuously optimizedand adjusted the power supply structure. However, some new energy projects were affected by policies, marketsand other factors, and there were still great variables in whether they could finally be implemented.Guangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. The Semi-annual Report 2023 25Countermeasures: First, adhere to the two-wheel drive of both independent development and merger andacquisition, and both centralized development and distributed development, focus on the development of newenergy projects in Guangdong, Xinjiang, Hunan, Hebei and other regions, and expand the regional developmentin Gansu, Shandong, Guangxi and Shanxi to strive for the project implementation; Second, fully promote theconstruction progress of projects under construction; Third, strengthen the talent guarantee for high-qualitydevelopment, hold training courses on infrastructure project management, and improve the whole processmanagement ability of infrastructure project managers.Guangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd.

Therefore, the group is to some extent exposed to liquidity risk. The reasons for netcurrent liabilities were that the group is in a period of rapid development, and there is a match problem in theinvestment and financing terms and the significant rise of coal prices from 2021 to 2022In view of the above, the Board of Directors of the company has carefully considered the Group's futureworking capital, operating conditions and available financing sources when assessing the Group's ability tocontinue as a going concern. The Group has formulated the following plans and measures to reduce pressure ofworking capital and improve its financial position:(i) The Group maintains good relations of long-term cooperation with financial institutions (including thecompany’s associate Guangdong Energy Group Finance Co., Ltd. (“Energy Group Finance company”) andGuangdong Energy Finance Leasing company (“Energy Finance Leasing company”)) in order to obtainsufficient financing credit lines. As at 30 June 2023, the Group’s available credit line and approved debtinsurance from financial institutions amounted to approximately RMB 97.045 billion, with RMB 16.889 billionGuangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. The Semi-annual Report 2023 72from Energy Group Finance company, RMB 10.004 billion million from Energy Finance Leasing company,RMB 56.352 billion from other commercial banks, RMB 1.4 billion of corporate debentures approved forissuance by the CSRC and RMB 7.4 billion of quota of medium-term notes financing obtained after theregistration in the Interbank Market in China.

Therefore, management believes that it is appropriate to prepare thesefinancial statements on a going concern basis.V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimatesSpecific accounting policies and accounting estimates tips:The Group determines specific accounting policies and accounting estimates based on the characteristics ofproduction and operation, which are mainly reflected in the measurement of expected credit losses ofreceivables (Note 5(10)), costing of inventory (Note 5(15)), fixed asset depreciation and intangible assetamortisation (Notes 5(24),(30,( 29) ), impairment of long-term assets (Note 5(31)), timing of revenuerecognition (Note 5(39)), deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities (Note 5(41)), etc.Details of the Group's critical judgements used in determining significant accounting policies are set forth inNote 5(44).1.Complying with the statements in Accounting Standards for Business EnterprisesThe financial Report and statements are prepared with compliance to the requirement of the EnterpriseAccounting Standard.

Accounting process method of enterprise consolidation under same and different controlling.(1) Business combinations involving enterprises under common controlThe consideration the combining party paid for the combination and the carrying amount of the net assetsobtained are measured at carrying amount. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtainedand the carrying amount of consideration paid for the combination is adjusted to share premium (capital premium)in the capital reserve. If the balance of share premium (capital premium) is insufficient, any excess is adjusted toretained earnings.

The direct acquisition-related costs arising from the business combination are recognized as expenses in the periods in which the costsare incurred. The costs of the issuance of equity or debt securities as a part of the consideration paid for theacquisition are included as a part of initial recognition amount of the equity or debt securities.6.Preparation of the consolidated financial statementsThe consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the company and all of its subsidiaries.Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control and are de-consolidated from thedate that such control ceases. For a subsidiary that is acquired in a business combination involving enterprisesunder common control, it is included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when it, together withthe company, comes under common control of the ultimate controlling party.

At the balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies aretranslated into RMB using the spot exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising fromthese translations are recognised in profit or loss for the current period, except for those attributable to foreigncurrency borrowings that have been taken out specifically for acquisition or construction of qualifying assets,which are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currenciesthat are measured at historical costs are translated at the balance sheet date using the spot exchange rates at thedate of the transactions. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately in the cash flowstatement.10. Financial instrumentsFinancial instruments refer to contracts that form financial assets of one party and financial liabilities or equityinstruments of other parties. When the Group becomes a party to a financial instrument contract, the relevantfinancial assets or financial liabilities are recognized.Guangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. The Semi-annual Report 2023 75(a) Financial assets(i) Classification and measurementAccording to the business model for managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics offinancial assets, the Group classifies financial assets into: (1) Financial assets measured in amortized cost; (2)Financial assets measured at fair value, whose changes are included in other comprehensive income; (3) Financialassets measured at fair value and whose changes are included in current profits and losses.The initial measurement of financial assets is calculated by using fair value. For financial assets measured at fairvalue, whose changes are included in current profits and losses, relevant transaction costs are directly included incurrent profits and losses; For other types of financial assets, relevant transaction costs are included in the initialrecognition amount. Accounts receivable or notes receivable arising from the sale of products or the provision oflabor services that do not include or take into account significant financing components are initially recognized bythe Group in accordance with the amount of consideration that the Group is expected to be entitled to receive.Debt instrumentDebt instruments held by the Group refer to instruments that meet the definition of financial liabilities from theperspective of the issuer and are measured in the following ways:Measured in amortized cost:The Group's business model for managing such financial assets is to collect the contractual cash flow, and thecontractual cash flow characteristics of such financial assets are consistent with the basic lending arrangements,that is, the cash flow generated on a specific date is only the payment of principal and interest based on theamount of outstanding principal. The Group recognizes interest income for such financial assets according to theeffective interest rate method. Such financial assets mainly include monetary funds, accounts receivable, otherreceivables and long-term receivables. The Group lists long-term receivables due within one year (including oneyear) from the balance sheet date as non-current assets due within one year.Equity instrumentsThe Group will measure the equity instrument investments that it has no control, joint control and significantinfluence on at fair value, and their changes are included in the current profits and losses, and listed as tradingfinancial assets.In addition, the Group designated some non-trading equity instrument investments as financial assets measured atfair value with changes included in other comprehensive income and listed them as other equity instrumentinvestments. Dividend income related to such financial assets is included in current profits and losses.(ii) ImpairmentFor financial assets measured in amortized cost, the Group recognizes loss reserves on the basis of expected creditlosses.The Group takes into account reasonable and reliable information on historical events, current situation and futureeconomic situation forecasts, and uses the risk of default as the weight to calculate the probability weightedamount of the present value of the difference between the cash flow receivable from the contract and the cashflow expected to be received to confirm the expected credit loss.On each balance sheet date, the Group separately measures the expected credit losses of financial instruments atdifferent stages. If the credit risk of financial instruments has not increased significantly since the initialconfirmation, it is in the first stage. The Group measures the loss reserve according to the expected credit loss inthe next 12 months; If the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly since its initialrecognition but no credit impairment has occurred, it is in the second stage. The Group measures the loss reserveaccording to the expected credit loss of the instrument throughout the duration; If a financial instrument hassuffered credit impairment since its initial recognition, it is in the third stage. The Group measures the loss reserveGuangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. The Semi-annual Report 2023 76according to the expected credit loss of the instrument throughout the duration.For financial instruments with low credit risk on the balance sheet date, the Group assumes that their credit riskhas not increased significantly since the initial confirmation, and measures the loss reserve according to theexpected credit loss in the next 12 months.For financial instruments in the first and second stages and with low credit risk, the Group calculates interestincome based on the book balance before deducting impairment provisions and the actual interest rate. Forfinancial instruments in the third stage, the interest income shall be calculated according to their book balanceminus the amortized cost after impairment provision and the actual interest rate.For accounts receivable, regardless of whether there is any significant financing component, the Group measuresthe loss reserve according to the expected credit loss throughout the duration.When a single financial asset cannot evaluate the expected credit loss information at a reasonable cost, the Groupdivides the receivables into several combinations according to the credit risk characteristics, calculates theexpected credit loss on the basis of the combinations, and determines the combination on the following basis:Account receivable portfolio 1: Accounts receivable from electricity salesAccount receivable portfolio 2: Related party receivableAccount receivable portfolio 3:Other account receivableOther Account receivable portfolio 1:Advance payments receivable petty cash and other receivableFor accounts receivable divided into combinations, the Group refers to the historical credit loss experience,combines the current situation with the forecast of future economic situation, compiles a comparison table ofoverdue days of accounts receivable and the expected credit loss rate for the whole duration, and calculates theexpected credit loss.For other receivables divided into portfolios, the Group refers to the historical credit loss experience, combines thecurrent situation with the forecast of future economic situation, and calculates the expected credit loss throughdefault risk exposure and the expected credit loss rate within the next 12 months or the whole duration.The Group includes the accrued or reversed loss reserves into the current profits and losses.(iii) Derecognition of financial assetsA financial asset is derecognised when: (i) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire,(ii) the financial asset has been transferred and the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards ofownership of the financial asset to the transferee, or (iii) the financial asset has been transferred and the Group hasnot retained control of the financial asset, although the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all therisks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.When the investment in other equity instruments is derecognized, the difference between the book value and theconsideration received and the accumulated amount of the changes in fair value originally included in othercomprehensive income shall be included in the retained income; On derecognition of a financial asset, thedifference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative changes infair value that had been recognised directly in owners’ equity, is recognised in profit or loss.(b) Financial liabilitiesFinancial liabilities are classified into the following categories at initial recognition: financial liabilities at fairvalue through profit or loss and other financial liabilities.The financial liabilities of the Group are other comprise financial liabilities, including payables, borrowings anddebentures payable. This kind of financial liabilities are initially measured according to their fair value afterdeducting transaction costs, and are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate method. If the term isless than one year (including one year), it shall be listed as current liabilities; If the term is more than one year butexpires within one year (including one year) from the balance sheet date, it shall be listed as non-current liabilitiesGuangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. The Semi-annual Report 2023 77due within one year; The rest is listed as non-current liabilities.When the current obligation of the financial liability has been discharged in whole or in part, the Group terminatesthe recognition of the part of the financial liability or obligation that has been discharged. The difference betweenthe book value of the termination recognition and the consideration paid shall be included in the profit and loss ofthe current period.(c) Determination of the fair value of the financial instrumentsThe fair value of a financial instrument that is traded in an active market is determined at the quoted price in theactive market. The fair value of a financial instrument that is not traded in an active market is determined by usinga valuation technique. Valuation techniques include using prices of recent market transactions betweenknowledgeable and willing parties, reference to the current fair value of another financial asset that is substantiallythe same with this instrument, and discounted cash flow analysis, etc. When a valuation technique is used toestablish the fair value of a financial instrument, it makes the maximum use of observable market inputs and reliesas little as possible on entity-specific inputs. When the observable inputs are not available or are unrealistic toobtained, unobservable inputs shall be used11.Note receivableSee Note V (10) Financial Instruments for details.12.Account receivableSee Note V (10) Financial Instruments for details.13.Financing receivableNot applicable14.Other account receivableDetermination method of expected credit loss of other receivables and accounting treatment methodSee Note V (10) Financial Instruments for details.15. Inventories(a) ClassificationInventories include fuel and spare parts measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value..(b) Cost of inventories transferred outCost of fuel transferred out is calculated using the weighted average method. Spare parts are amortised in fullwhen received for use.(c) Basis for determining the net realisable value of inventories and provisioning methods for decline in value ofinventoriesAny excess of the cost over the net realisable value of inventories is recognised as a provision for diminution inthe value of inventories. Net realisable value is measured by the estimated selling price in the ordinary course ofbusiness less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes.(d) The Group maintains a perpetual inventory system..Guangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd.

Long-term equity investmentLong-term equity investments comprise the company’s long-term equity investments in its subsidiaries and theGroup’s long-term equity investments in its associates.Subsidiaries are the investees over which the company is able to exercise control. Associates are the investeesover which the Group has significant influence, but not control, on their financial and operating policies.Investments in subsidiaries are presented in the company’s financial statements using the cost method, and areadjusted to the equity method when preparing the consolidated financial statements. Investments in associates areaccounted for using the equity method.(a) Determination of investment costFor long-term equity investments acquired through a business combination: for long-term equity investmentsacquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control, the investment cost shallbe the absorbing party’s share of the carrying amount of owners’ equity of the party being absorbed at thecombination date; for long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprisesnot under common control, the investment cost shall be the combination cost. For long-term equity investmentsacquired not through a business combination: if the long-term equity investments are acquired in cash, the initialinvestment cost shall be the purchase price actually paid; if the long-term equity investments are acquired byissuing equity securities, the initial investment cost shall be the fair value of the equity securities.(b) Subsequent measurement and recognition of related profit and lossGuangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. The Semi-annual Report 2023 79For long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method, they are measured at the initial investmentcosts, and cash dividends or profit distribution declared by the investees are recognised as investment income inprofit or loss.For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, where the initial investment cost exceedsthe Group’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, theinvestment is initially measured at cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than the Group’s share of the fairvalue of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the difference is included in profit or lossfor the current period and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly.For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, the Group recognises the investmentincome or losses according to its share of net profit or loss of the investee. The Group discontinues recognising itsshare of net losses of an investee after the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment together with anylong-term interests that, in substance, form part of the investor’s net investment in the investee are reduced to zero.However, if the Group has obligations for additional losses and the criteria with respect to recognition ofprovisions under the accounting standards on contingencies are satisfied, the Group continues recognising theinvestment losses and the provisions. The company shall adjust the carrying amount of the long term investmentfor other changes in shareholders’ equity of the investee (other than net profits or losses), and include thecorresponding adjustment in shareholders’ equity. The carrying amount of the investment is reduced by theGroup’s share of the profit distribution or cash dividends declared by an investee. The unrealised profits or lossesarising from the intra-group transactions amongst the Group and its investees are eliminated in proportion to theGroup’s equity interest in the investees, and then based on which the investment gains or losses are recognised.For the loss on the intra-group transaction amongst the Group and its investees attributable to asset impairment,any unrealised loss is not eliminated.(c) Basis for determining existence of control and significant influence over investeesControl is the power to govern the investee so as to obtain variable returns by participating in the related businessactivities of the investees and the ability to affect the returns by exercising its power over the investees.Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an investee’s economic activities, and exists onlywhen the strategic financial and operating decisions relating to the activities require the unanimous consent of theGroup and the parties sharing the control.Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, butis not control or joint control over those policies.(d) Impairment of long-term equity investThe carrying amount of long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint venture, and associates is reduced tothe recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount(Note 5(31).23. Investment propertiesThe measurement mode of investment propertyThe measurement by the cost methodDepreciation or amortization methodInvestment properties, including land use rights that have already been leased out and buildings that are held forthe purpose of leasing are measured initially at cost. Subsequent expenditures incurred in relation to an investmentproperties are included in the cost of the investment property when it is probable that the associated economicbenefits will flow to the Group and their costs can be reliably measured; otherwise, the expenditures arerecognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.Guangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. The Semi-annual Report 2023 80The Group adopts the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment properties. Buildings and land userights are depreciated or amortized to their estimated net residual values over their estimated useful lives. Theestimated useful lives, the estimated net residual values that are expressed as a percentage of cost and the annualdepreciation (amortization) rates of investment properties are as follows:Estimated useful lives Estimated net residual valueAnnual depreciation ratesHouse and Building 20 - 40 years 0% to5% 2.38% to 4.75%Land use right 60 years 0% 1.67%The investment property’s estimated useful life, net residual value and depreciation (amortisation) method appliedare reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end.When an investment property is transferred to owner-occupied properties, it is reclassified as fixed asset at thedate of the transfer. The carrying amount of the fixed asset shall be measured on the basis of fair value of theinvestment property.An investment property is derecognised on disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawnfrom use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. The net amount of proceeds from sale,transfer, retirement or damage of an investment property after its carrying amount and related taxes and expensesis recognised in profit or loss for the current period.The carrying amount of an investment property is reduced to the recoverable amount if the recoverable amount isbelow the carrying amount (Note V(31)).24. Fixed assets(1)Recognition of fixed assetsFixed assets comprise plant and building, power generator equipment, motor vehicles and other equipment. Fixedasset is recognised when it is probable that the related economic benefits will flow to the Group and its cost canbe reliably measured. Fixed assets purchased or constructed by the Group are initially measured at cost at theacquisition date. The fixed assets injected by the state-owned shareholder during the restructuring of corporationwere initially recorded at the valuated amount approved by the relevant authorities managing state-owned assets.Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset when it is probablethat the economic benefits associated with the fixed asset will flow to the Group and the costs can be reliablymeasured. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognised and all the other subsequentexpenditures are recognised in income statement when they are incurred.(2)Depreciation of fixed assetsCategoryThe method fordepreciationExpected useful life(Year)Estimated residualvalueDepreciationHouse and building Straight-line method 10 to 50 years 0% to 5% 1.90% to 9.50%Generation equipment Straight-line method 5 to 30 years 0% to5% 3.17% to 20%TransportationequipmentStraight-line method 5 to 10 years 0% to5% 9.50% to 20%Other equipment Straight-line method 5 to 22 years 0% to 5% 4.32% to20%Except for fixed assets purchased using work safety funds, other fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the assets to their estimated net residual values over their estimated usefullives. For the fixed assets that have been provided for impairment loss, the related depreciation charge isprospectively determined based upon the adjusted carrying amounts over their remaining useful lives.Guangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. The Semi-annual Report 2023 81Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the assets to their estimated netresidual values over their estimated useful lives. For the fixed assets that have been provided for impairmentloss, the related depreciation charge is prospectively determined based upon the adjusted carrying amounts overtheir remaining useful lives.The estimated useful life and the estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation methodapplied to the asset are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end.(a) The carrying amounts of fixed assets are reduced to the recoverable amounts when the recoverable amountsare below their carrying amounts (Note V(31)).A fixed asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use ordisposal. The amount of proceeds from disposals on sale, transfer, retirement or damage of a fixed asset net ofits carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.(3)Cognizance evidence and pricing method of financial leasing fixed assetsSee Note V (42) Lease for details.25.Construction in progressConstruction in progress is measured at its actual costs incurred. Actual costs include construction cost,installation cost, capitalised borrowing costs, and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset toworking condition for its intended use. When the construction in progress is ready for its intended use, it istransferred to fixed assets and starts depreciation the following month. When recoverable amount of theconstruction in progress is lower than its carrying value, its carrying value is then reduced to the recoverableamount(Note V(31)).26.Borrowing costsThe borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of a fixed asset that needs asubstantially long period of time of acquisition and construction for its intended use commence to be capitalizedand recorded as part of the cost of the asset when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs have beenincurred, and the activities relating to the acquisition and construction that are necessary to prepare the asset for itsintended use have commenced. The capitalization of borrowing costs ceases when the asset under acquisition orconstruction becomes ready for its intended use, the borrowing costs incurred thereafter are recognised in incomestatement. Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended when the acquisition or construction of a fixed asset isinterrupted abnormally and the interruption lasts for more than 3 months, until the acquisition or construction isresumed.For the specific borrowings obtained for the acquisition or construction of a fixed asset qualifying forcapitalization, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization is determined by deducting any interestincome earned from depositing the unused specific borrowings in the banks or any investment income arising onthe temporary investment of those borrowings during the capitalization period.For the general borrowings obtained for the acquisition or construction of a fixed asset qualifying forcapitalization, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization is determined by applying the weightedaverage effective interest rate of general borrowings, to the weighted average of the excess amount of cumulativeexpenditures on the asset over the amount of specific borrowings. The effective interest rate is the rate at whichthe estimated future cash flows during the period of expected duration of the borrowings or applicable shorterperiod are discounted to the initial amount of the borrowings.Guangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd.

Right to use assetsThe Group recognizes the right-to-use assets on the start date of the lease term, and recognizes the leaseliabilities according to the present value of the unpaid lease payments. The lease payment amount includes thefixed payment amount, and the amount to be paid when it is reasonably determined to exercise or terminate thecall option. The variable rent determined according to a certain percentage of the sales amount is not included inthe lease payment amount, but is included in the current profits and losses when it actually occurs. The Grouplists the lease liabilities paid within one year (including one year) from the balance sheet date as non-currentliabilities due within one year.The right-to-use assets of the Group include rented houses and buildings, machinery, equipment and means oftransport, etc. The right-to-use assets are initially measured according to the cost, which includes the initialmeasured amount of the lease liabilities, the lease payment amount and the initial direct expenses paid on orbefore the start date of the lease term, etc., with the received lease incentives deducted. If the Group canreasonably determine that the ownership of the leased asset is acquired at the expiration of the lease term,depreciation shall be accrued within the remaining service life of the leased asset; If it is impossible toreasonably determine whether the ownership of the leased asset can be acquired at the expiration of the leaseterm, depreciation shall be accrued within the lease term or the remaining service life of the leased asset,whichever is shorter. When the recoverable amount is lower than the book value of the right-to-use assets, theGroup will write down its book value to the recoverable amount.For short-term leases with a lease term of no more than 12 months and low-value asset leases with low valuewhen a single asset is brand new, the Group chooses not to recognize the right-to-use assets and lease liabilities,and include the related rental expenses in the current profits and losses or related asset costs by the straight-linemethod in each period of the lease term.When the lease changes and the following conditions are met, the Group will treat it as a separate lease foraccounting: (1) The lease change expands the lease scope by increasing the right to use one or more leasedassets; (2) The increased consideration is equivalent to the amount of the separate price of the expanded part ofthe lease scope adjusted according to the contract.When the lease change is not treated for accounting as a separate lease, except for simplified method adopted forcontract change directly caused by the COVID-19, the Group redetermines the lease term on the effective date ofthe lease change, and uses the revised discount rate to discount the changed lease payment and re-measure thelease liabilities. If the lease scope is reduced or the lease term is shortened due to lease change, the Group shallcorrespondingly reduce the book value of the right-to-use assets, and include the related gains or losses of partialor full termination of lease in the current profits and losses. If other lease changes lead to the re-measurement oflease liabilities, the Group will adjust the book value of the right-to-use assets accordingly.Guangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. The Semi-annual Report 2023 8330. Intangible assets1. Valuation Method, Service Life and Impairment Test of Intangible AssetsIntangible assets mainly including land use rights, sea use rights, software, associated projects for electricitytransmission and transformation, microwave engineering and transportation engineering are measured at cost.Intangible assets contributed by the state-owned shareholders at the incorporation of a limited company areinitially recorded at the valuation amount recognised by the state-owned assets supervision and administrationdepartment.(a) Land use right and sea use rightLand use rights are amortized on a straight-line basis over their approved period of 20 to 70 years. If the purchasecosts of land and attached buildings cannot be reasonably allocated between the land use right and the buildings,the purchase costs are recognised as fixed assets.(b) Other intangible assetsBesides land use right, sea use right, associated projects for electricity transmission and transformation,microwave engineering and transportation engineering, other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-linebasis over their expected life of 2 years to 60 years.(c) Periodic review on useful life and method of amortizationFor intangible assets with finite useful life, their expected life and amortization method are reviewed and adjustedat the end of every year.(d) Impairment of intangible assetsThe carrying amount of intangible assets is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount isless than the carrying amount (Note V (31)).(2) Research and developmentThe expenditure on an internal research and development project is classified into expenditure on the researchphase and expenditure on the development phase based on its nature and whether there is material uncertainty thatthe research and development activities can form an intangible asset at the end of the project.Expenditure on the research phase is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditureon the development phase is capitalized only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: management intends to complete the intangible asset, and use or sell it; it can be demonstrated how the intangible asset will generate economic benefits: products with the applicationof intangible assets or the intangible assets themselves can prove to have market value, intangible assets forinternal use application can prove to be of usefulness;there are adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to use orsell the intangible asset;it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; andthe expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development phase can be reliably measured.Other development expenditures that do not meet the conditions above are recognised in profit or loss in theperiod in which they are incurred. Development costs previously recognised as expenses are not recognised as anasset in a subsequent period. Capitalized expenditure on the development phase is presented as development costsin the balance sheet and transferred to intangible assets at the date that the asset is ready for its intended use.31. Impairment of long-term assetsFixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with finite useful lives, investment property measured atGuangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. The Semi-annual Report 2023 84cost and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint venture, and associates are tested for impairment ifthere is any indication that an asset may be impaired at the balance date. If the result of the impairment testindicates that the recoverable amount of the asset is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment andan impairment loss are recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverableamount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and the present value of thefuture cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. A provision for asset impairment is determined andrecognised on an individual asset basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individualasset, the recoverable amount of the group of assets to which the asset belongs is determined. A group of assets isthe smallest group of assets that is able to generate independent cash inflows.Goodwill that is separately presented in the financial statements is tested at least annually for impairment,irrespective of whether there is any indication that it may be impaired. In conducting the test, the carrying value ofgoodwill is allocated to the related asset group or groups of asset groups which are expected to benefit from thesynergies of the business combination. If the result of the test indicates that the recoverable amount of an assetgroup or a group of asset groups, including the allocated goodwill, is lower than its carrying amount, thecorresponding impairment loss is recognised. The impairment loss is first deducted from the carrying amount ofgoodwill that is allocated to the asset group or group of asset groups, and then deducted from the carryingamounts of other assets within the asset group or group of asset groups in proportion to the carrying amounts ofassets other than goodwill.Once the asset impairment loss mentioned above is recognised, it is not allowed to be reversed for the valuerecovered in the subsequent periods.32.Long-term deferred expensesLong-term prepaid expenses include the expenditure for improvements to fixed assets held under operating leases,and other expenditures that have been incurred but should be recognised as expenses over more than one year inthe current and subsequent periods. Long-term prepaid expenses are amortized on the straight-line basis over theexpected beneficial period and are presented at actual expenditure net of accumulated amortization.33.Constract LiabilitiesSee Note V (39) Revenue for details.34. Employee benefits(1) Short-term employee benefitsShort-term remunerations mainly include wages or salaries, bonuses, allowances and subsidies, staff welfare,medical insurance, work injury insurance, maternity insurance, housing funds, labour union funds, employeeeducation funds, short-term paid absence. Short-term remunerations are recognised as current liabilities in theaccounting period in which the service has been rendered by the employees, and as costs of assets or expenses towhichever the employee service is attributable. Non-monetary benefits are measured at fair value.(2)Post –employment benefitsThe company’s post-employment benefits scheme includes both Defined Contribution Plan (DCP) and DefinedBenefit Plan (DBP). ADCP is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separateentity and has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficientassets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. ADBP is aGuangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. The Semi-annual Report 2023 85pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan. During the periods of reporting, the company’s post-employment benefits scheme mainly includes basic pension insurance and unemployment insurances, both ofwhich are DCP.Basic pension insuranceEmployees of the Group have entered into the social pension insurance scheme organized by local labour andsocial security department. The Group pays basic pension insurances to local labour and social securitydepartment monthly according to local insurance base and corresponding rate. Local labour and social securitydepartment is obligated to pay basic pensions to retired employees.Supplementary pension insuranceThe company purchases supplementary pension insurance on behalf of employees, and pays pension insurancesaccording to the policies of Energy Group. The amounts based on the above calculations are recognised asliabilities in the accounting period in which the service has been rendered by the employees, with a correspondingcharge to the profit or loss for the current period or the cost of relevant assets.Defined benefit planFor defined benefit plan, the Group used the projected unit credit method and includes the obligation of thedefined benefit plan in the accounting period in which the service has been rendered by the employees, with acorresponding charge to the profit or loss for the period. The cost of employee benefits arising from definedbenefit plans are classified into the following parts:— service cost (including current service cost as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);— net interest expenses on net liabilities of the defined benefit plan (including interest expenses for obligations ofthe defined benefit plan); and— Changes arising from remeasurement on net liabilities of defined benefit plansService cost and net interest expenses on net liabilities of defined benefit plans are included in profit or loss forthe current period. Changes arising from remeasurement on net liabilities of defined benefit plans (includingactuarial gains or losses) are included in other comprehensive income.(3) Termination benefitsThe Group provides compensation for terminating the employment relationship with employees before the end ofthe employment contracts or as an offer to encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy before the end ofthe employment contracts. The Group recognises a liability arising from compensation for termination of theemployment relationship with employees, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss at the earlier of thefollowing dates: 1) when the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because of anemployment termination plan or a curtailment proposal; 2) when the Group recognises costs or expenses related tothe restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits.(4) Other long-term employee benefitsEarly retirement benefitsThe Group provides early retirement benefits for employees who enrolled in internal retirement arrangement.Early retirement benefits refer to wages and social benefit paid by the Group on behalf of the employees who havenot meet retirement age requirement but voluntarily retire after permission from the Group’s management level.The Group starts paying early retirement benefits to early retired employees from the start date of their earlyretirement until they reach the statutory retirement age. For the accounting treatment of early retirement benefits,the Group adopts the same method as termination benefits, that is, upon confirming the termination benefitscomply with relevant conditions, proposed payment of early retirement wages. and social security from the startGuangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. The Semi-annual Report 2023 86date of termination of services to the date of statutory retirement age are recognised as liability and recorded intoprofit and loss at lump sum. The discrepancy caused by change in actuarial assumption and adjustment of welfarestandard is recorded into current profit or loss.35.Lease liabilitiesSee Note V (42) Lease for details.36. Estimated LiabilitiesProvisions for product warranties, onerous contracts etc. are recognised when the Group has a present obligation,it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of theobligation can be measured reliably.A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related presentobligation. Factors surrounding a contingency, such as the risks, uncertainties and the time value of money, aretaken into account as a whole in reaching the best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value ofmoney is material, the best estimate is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows. The increase inthe discounted amount of the provision arising from passage of time is recognised as interest expense.The carrying amount of provisions is reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current bestestimate.The Group recognises the loss provision of financial guarantee contracts which provision is based on ECL.The provisions expected to be settled within one year since the balance sheet date are classified as currentliabilities.37. Share paymentNot applicable38. Other financial instruments such as preferred stocks and perpetual bondsNot applicable39. RevenueAccounting policies adopted for income recognition and measurementWhen the customer obtains the control of the relevant goods or services, the Group recognizes the incomeaccording to the expected amount of consideration that it is entitled to receive.(a) Revenue from sales of electricity and heat energyRevenue is recognised when electricity and heat energy are supplied to grid companies or customers, and gridcompanies or customers obtain control over electricity.(b) Revenue from sales of by-productsRevenue from the sales of goods is recognised when the Group transfers by-products (such as coal ash) producedby electricity generations to the designated delivery place pursuant to the contract or agreement, the recipientresource utilisation confirms receipt and they obtain control over the by-products.(c) Provision of electric power transaction service For the electric power transaction service provided by theGroup to external parties, upon the receiving of the service, revenue is recognised based on the difference betweenthe purchase price and the selling price of electricity.Guangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. The Semi-annual Report 2023 87(d) Rendering of servicesThe Group provides maintenance services to external parties. The related revenue is recognised based on the stageof completion within a certain period, which is determined based on proportion of costs incurred to date to theestimated total costs. On the balance sheet date, the Group re-estimates the stage of completion to reflect theactual status of contract performance.When the Group recognises revenue based on the stage of completion, the amount with unconditional collectionright obtained by the Group is recognised as accounts receivable, and the rest is recognised as contract assets.Meanwhile, loss provision for accounts receivable and contract assets are recognised on the basis of ECLs (NoteV(10)). If the contract price received or receivable exceeds the amount for the completed service, the excessportion will be recognised as contract liabilities.Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis. Contract costs includecontract performance costs and contract acquisition costs. The costs incurred by the Group for the rendering ofmaintenance services are recognised as contract performance costs and are carried forward to the cost of mainoperations based on the stage of completion when associated revenue is recognised.The Group provides external maintenance service, revenue is recognised according to the percentage completionmethod, determined by percentage of the total cost incurred.The adoption of different business models in similar businesses leads to differences in accounting policies forincome recognition40.Government grantsGovernment grants refer to the monetary or non-monetary assets obtained by the Group from the government,including tax return, financial subsidy and etc. Government grants are recognised when the grants can bereceived and the Group can comply with all attached conditions. If a government grant is a monetary asset, it willbe measured at the amount received or receivable. If a government grant is a non-monetary asset, it will bemeasured at its fair value. If it is unable to obtain its fair value reliably, it will be measured at its nominal amount.Government grants related to assets refer to government grants which are obtained by the Group for the purposesof purchase, construction or acquisition of the long-term assets. Government grants related to income refer to thegovernment grants other than those related to assets. Government grants related to assets are recorded as deferredincome and recognised in profit or loss on a systemic basis over the useful lives of the assets. Government grantsrelated to income that compensate the incurred costs, expenses or losses are recognised in profit or loss.Government grants related to income that compensate future costs, expenses or losses are recorded as deferredincome and recognised in profit or loss in reporting the related costs, expenses or losses; government grantsrelated to income that compensate incurred costs, expenses or losses are recognised in profit or loss directly inthe current period.The Group applies the presentation method consistently to the similar government grants in the financialstatements.Government grants that are related to ordinary activities are included in operating profit, otherwise, they arerecorded in non-operating income or expenses.41. Deferred income tax assets/Deferred income tax liabilityDeferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognised based on the differences arisingbetween the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts (temporary differences). Deferred taxGuangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. The Semi-annual Report 2023 88asset is recognised for the deductible losses that can be carried forward to subsequent years for deduction of thetaxable profit in accordance with the tax laws. No deferred tax liabilities is recognised for the temporarydifferences resulting from the initial recognition of Goodwill. No deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability isrecognised for the temporary differences resulting from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities due to atransaction other than a business combination, which affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (ordeductible loss). At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the taxrates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled.Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits tothe extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available in the future against which the deductibletemporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised.Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, jointventure, and associates, except where the Group is able to control the timing of reversal of the temporarydifference, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. When it isprobable that the temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates will be reversed inthe foreseeable future and that the taxable profit will be available in the future against which the temporarydifferences can be utilised, the corresponding deferred tax assets are recognised.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when:the deferred taxes are relate to the same tax payer within the Group and same fiscal authority, and; that tax payer has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities.42. Leases(1)Accounting of operational leasingWhen the Group operates leased buildings, machinery, equipment and means of transport, the rental income fromoperating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis during the lease period. The variable rent determinedaccording to a certain proportion of the sales amount is included in the rental income when it actually occurs.For the rent concessions agreed on existing lease contracts, the Group applies the practical expedient to accountfor the concessions as variable lease payments and record the concessions in profit or loss during the waivingperiod when the Group selects the simplified method.Except that the above contract changes prescribed by the Ministry of Finance that can be used the simplifiedmethod, for a lease modification, the Group accounts for it as a new lease from the effective date of themodification, and considers any lease payments received in advance and receivable relating to the lease beforemodification as receivables of the new lease.(2)Accounting treatment of financing leasingSee Note V (29)43. Other significant accounting policies and estimatesOther significant accounting policies:Work safety fundsSubsidiaries of the Group engaged in power generation business shall appropriate work safety funds based onthe actual revenue in the previous year and at the following percentages: 3% for the proportion of revenue up to RMB 10 million in the previous year; 1.5% for the proportion of revenue between RMB 100 million and RMB 1 billion in the previous year;Guangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. The Semi-annual Report 2023 89 1% for the proportion of revenue between RMB 100 million and RMB 1 billion in previous year; 0.8% for the proportion of revenue between RMB 1 billion and RMB 5 billion in the previous year; 0.2% for the proportion of revenue exceeding RMB 10 billion in the previous year.the previous year.Work safety funds are mainly used for the improvement, modification and maintenance of safety protectionfacilities, as well as safety production inspection, evaluation, consultation, standardised construction, etc. Worksafety funds are recognised in profit or loss as the "Special reserve" item for the current period whenappropriated. When using the special reserve, if the expenditures are expenses in nature, the expenses incurredare offset against the special reserve directly when incurred. If the expenditures are capital expenditures, whenprojects are completed and transferred to fixed assets, the special reserve should be offset against the cost offixed assets, and a corresponding accumulated depreciation is recognised. Such fixed assets are not depreciatedin subsequent periods.Carbon emission use rightsCategorised as an Enterprise with High Emissions, the Group needs to fulfill its emission reduction obligationsand recognise carbon emission related assets and expenditures per relevant regulations:(i) The present obligations incurred by the Group in fulfilling its emission reduction obligations are measured atthe best estimate of the expenditure required and recognised as other payables and non-operating expenses.(ii) The Group purchases carbon emission allowances and recognises related carbon emission rights assetsbased on the cost paid or payable at the acquisition date, and the balance is included in other current assets; theGroup makes no accounting treatment for carbon emission allowances purchased at nil consideration;(iii) The Group uses the purchased carbon emission allowances to fulfil its emission reduction obligations andrecognises the book balance of the allowances used as a reduction of carbon emission rights assets; the Groupmakes no accounting treatment if it uses carbon emission allowances purchased at nil consideration to fulfil itsobligations;(iv) The Group sells carbon emission allowances and recognises related non-operating income or non-operatingexpenses based on the difference between the amount received or receivable at the date of sale and the bookbalance of the allowances soldSegment informationThe Group identifies operating segments based on the internal organisation structure, management requirementsand internal reporting system, and discloses segment information of reportable segments which is determinedon the basis of operating segments.An operating segment is a component of the Group that satisfies all of the following conditions: (a) thecomponent is able to earn revenue and incur expenses from its ordinary activities; (b) whose operating resultsare regularly reviewed by the Group’s management to make decisions about resources to be allocated to thesegment and to assess its performance, and (c) for which the information on financial position, operating resultsand cash flows is available to the Group. Two or more operating segments that have similar economiccharacteristics and satisfy certain conditions can be aggregated into one single operating segment.Critical accounting estimates and judgementsThe Group continually evaluates the critical accounting estimates and key judgements applied based onhistorical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonableunder the circumstances.(a)Critical judgements in applying the accounting policies(i) Classification of financial assetsGuangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. The Semi-annual Report 2023 90Significant judgements made by the Group in the classification of financial assets include analysis on businessmodels and contractual cash flow characteristics.The Group determines the business model for financial asset management at the level of different groups, andfactors to be considered include the methods of evaluation on financial asset performance and reporting offinancial asset performance to key management personnel, risks affecting financial asset performance andmanagement methods for such risks, the ways in which related business management personnel are remunerated,etc.When assessing whether contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets are consistent with basiclending arrangement, key judgements made by the Group include: the possibility of changes in timing oramount of the principal during the duration due to reasons such as early repayment; whether interest onlyinclude time value of money, credit risks, other basic lending risks and considerations for costs and profits. Forexample, whether the amount of prepayment only reflects the principal outstanding and the interest based on theprincipal outstanding, as well as the reasonable compensation due to the early termination of the contract.(ii) Determination of significant increase in credit riskWhen the Group classifies financial instruments into different stages, its criteria for significant increase in creditrisk and credit-impaired are as follows:Judgement of the Group for significant increase in credit risk is mainly based on whether one or more of thefollowing indicators changed significantly: business environment of the debtor, internal and external creditrating, significant changes in actual or expected operating results, significant decrease in value of collateral orcredit rate of guarantor, etc.Judgement of the Group on the occurred credit impairment is mainly based on whether it meets one or more ofthe following conditions: the debtor is suffering significant financial difficulties, engaged in other debtrestructuring, or it is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy, etc.(iii) Timing of revenue recognitionWith regard to sale of electricity to grid companies, the Group supplies electricity to grid companies inaccordance with the contract. Thereafter, the grid companies have the right to sell electricity and the discretionin pricing, and take the risks of any price fluctuation or loss of the products. The Group believes that the gridcompanies obtain control over electric power upon the receiving of the electric power. Therefore, revenue isrecognised upon the receiving of the electric power of grid companies.(b) Critical accounting estimates and key assumptions(i) Assessment on impairment of fixed assetsA fixed asset is tested for impairment by the Group if there is any indication that it may be impaired at thebalance sheet date by calculating and comparing the recoverable amount of the fixed asset with its carryingamount to check the difference. If the result of the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of anasset is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment and an asset impairment loss are recognisedfor the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount isthe higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to bederived from the asset. The determination of the recoverable amount involves accounting estimates.When assessing whether the above assets are impaired, management mainly evaluates and analyses: (i) whetherevents affecting asset impairment occurred; (ii) whether the present value of expected cash flows arising fromthe continuing use or disposals of the asset is lower than its carrying amount; and (iii) whether the significantassumptions used in the calculation of the present value of the estimated cash flows are appropriateThe calculation of the present value of future cash flows involves management’s significant estimates andjudgements, including the discount rate, the growth rate of the estimated on-grid electricity price, the growthGuangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. The Semi-annual Report 2023 91rate of the estimated electricity sale and the varability rate of the estimated price of coal used in powergeneration. Changes in these assumptions may have material impact on the present value used in theimpairment test, and cause impairment in the above-mentioned long-term assets of the Group(ii) Measurement of ECLThe Group calculates ECL through exposure at default and ECL rates, and determines the ECL rates based onprobability of default and loss given default. In determining the ECL rates, the Group uses data such as internalhistorical credit loss experience, etc., and adjusts historical data based on current conditions and forward-looking information.When considering forward-looking information, the Group considered different macroeconomic scenarios.Significant macroeconomic assumptions and parameters related to the estimation of ECL include the risk ofeconomic downturn, external market environment, technological environment, changes in customer conditions,Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) and Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), etc. The Group regularly monitors andreviews assumptions and parameters related to the calculation of ECL(iii) Income taxes and deferred income taxesThe Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. There are some transactions and events forwhich the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Significant judgementis required from the Group in determining the provision for income tax in each of these jurisdictions. Where thefinal tax outcomes of these matters are different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differenceswill impact the income tax and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination ismade.As stated in Note 6, some subsidiaries of the Group are high-tech enterprises. The high-tech enterprisecertificate is effective for three years. Upon expiration, application for high-tech enterprise identification shouldbe submitted again to the relevant government authorities. Based on the historical experience of reassessmentfor high-tech enterprise upon expiration and the actual condition of the subsidiaries, the Group considers thatthe subsidiaries are able to obtain the qualification for high-tech enterprises in future years, and therefore apreferential tax rate of 15% is used to calculate the corresponding deferred income tax. If some subsidiariescannot obtain the qualification for high-tech enterprise upon expiration, then the subsidiaries are subject to astatutory tax rate of 25% for the calculation of the income tax, which further influences the recognised deferredtax assets, deferred tax liabilities and income tax expenses.A deferred tax asset is recognised for the carryforward of unused deductible losses to the extent that it isprobable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible losses can be utilised. Futuretaxable profits include taxable profits that can be achieved through normal operations and the increase intaxable profits due to the reversal of taxable temporary differences arising from previous period in future period.The Group determines the future taxable profits based on the future financial forecast, which requiresmanagement’s significant estimates and judgements, including the estimated electricity sale, estimated on-gridelectricity price, the estimated price of coal used in power generation and other operating expenses. If there isany difference between the actual and the estimates, adjustment may be made to the carrying amount ofdeferred tax assets.44.Change of main accounting policies and estimations(1)Change of main accounting policies√ Applicable □ Not applicableThe content and reason for change ofaccounting policy Approval process RemarkGuangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd.
