Guangdong Yudean Zhencheng Integrated Invested There is no significant impact Energy Co., Ltd. Note: 37 Guangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. 2018Annual Report 1. During the reporting period, the profits of most coal-fired power plants decreased significantly year on year due to the increase in coal prices and the concession of market electricity prices. Some subsidiaries such as Yuejiang Company, Zhanjiang Zhongyue Company, Zhenneng Company and Dapu Power Plant suffered operating losses. 2. Due to the power market reform in Yunnan Province, Lincang Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, suffered from operating losses during the reporting period due to lower electricity consumption and low electricity price,and impairment of assets. Guangqian Company, Huizhou LNG and other companies with strong profitability for natural gas power generation projects have made a greater contribution to the company's net profit to its parent. 3. The company's investment income in affiliated companies has increased overally. Among them, Shanxi Energy Company has strong profitability due to the continuous high price of coal; Affected by the year-on-year increase in electricity, Taishan Power Plant's year-on-year profit increases significantly; Due to the continuous expansion of business scale, the profits of financial companies has a larger year-on-year increase. Ⅷ.Special purpose vehicle controlled by the Company □ Applicable √ Not applicable Ⅸ.Prospect for future development of the Company 1. The Development Trend of the Industry Currently, China's power generation industry continues to present a diversified competitive pattern. The company's main power assets are mainly in Guangdong Province, which is with many other power producers and is greatly affected by the power transmission from west to east. China's electricity production has always been driven by thermal power. Although the proportion of thermal power has decreased with the rapid development of nuclear power, hydropower, wind power, solar energy and other new and renewable energy sources in the past decade, thermal power is still the main power source in China. The problem of excess coal power production capacity and excessive increase in installed capacity across the country has been significantly curbed. However, due to China's energy structure of "rich coal, deficient oil, and lean gas", the current situation that China's basic energy supply is dominated by coal cannot be changed for a foreseeable period of time. Moreover, a break-through has been made for the ultra-clean emission power generation technology for large coal-fired power generation units currently, and there is still room for development of large-capacity and high-parameter coal-fired power generation units in the future. In addition, investment in large-scale natural gas power generation projects conforms to the national policy guidance. Although the gas price of natural gas is relatively high and the economy of investment in gas turbine projects is still not ideal currently, with the deepening of power system reform, the compensation mechanism for social effects of gas turbine is expected to achieve a breakthrough in the future and is expected to have a better development prospect in the future. With the deepening of power system reform, the transaction scale of power market has expanded, and the level of price difference is uncertain. Therefore, in this environment, the thermal power industry will mainly rely on developing large-capacity and high-parameter coal power and accelerating gas power to optimize its structure, upgrading its technical strength to reduce consumption and increase efficiency, marketing to obtain electric quantity and electricity prices, and reducing costs and increasing efficiency to reduce management costs. 2. Corporate development strategy During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the company established the strategic orientation of "Large-scale group 38 Guangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. 2018Annual Report power generation listed companies serving the national strategy, group strategy and urban development, with power generation business as its main development area, industrial operation as its main development idea, and domestic first-class and power generation listed companies with international competitiveness as its main development direction", to optimize the development of coal and electricity, steadily develope gas and electricity, vigorously develope clean energy sources such as wind power and hydropower, continuously optimize the power supply structure, and select the pattern of high efficiency, cleanness and low carbon. For future development, the company will actively distribute clean energy sources such as wind power, gas power and hydropower, and optimize the power generation structure; In combination with relevant national policies, it will actively promote large and reduce small for upgrade and transformation for thermal power projects, to improve the quality of power supply; It will actively expand the electricity sales business, conform to the situation of power system reform, and explore new business fields and development space. 3.Production and operation plans In 2019, the company's consolidated statement has a budget target value of 70.981 billion kilowatt hours of on-grid electricity, which is basically the same as the actual amount of on-grid electricity completed in 2018; The budgetary target value of the main business revenue is RMB 27.927 billion, an increase of RMB 800 million and increase of 2.95 % compared to the actual amount of main business operating revenue of RMB 27.126 billion; the budgetary value for the full-year planned investment is RMB 1.2531 billion, an increase of RMB 350 million or an increase of 29.75% over the actual completed investment of RMB 1.18 billion in 2018. (Note: The above operating plan does not represent the company's profit forecast for 2019, whether it can be achieved depending on various factors such as changes in the electricity market and coal market conditions, thus there is considerable uncertainty, and investors should pay special attention to it.) 4.Possible risks Firstly, the main business is under constant pressure. Due to the expansion of power transmission from the west to the east and the continuous production of nuclear power and gas power in the province, the market share of coal power in the province has been reduced, and the utilization hours of coal-fired units in the company are at risk of further decline. Long-term deep peak regulation, low-load operation and repeated start-up and shutdown seriously affect the safety and economy of the units. Coal prices continue to run at high levels, generating costs remain high, and environmental protection investment needs to be increased, which affect the economic benefits of the unit. In 2019, Guangdong's electricity market will expand to 200 billion kilowatt-hours, with a year-on-year increase of 40 billion kilowatt-hours, accounting for 45% of the province's electricity generation, and the average price of electricity sold may further decline against the background of an oversupply of electricity. Secondly, the project development is limited. Under the current policy environment, the overall economic benefits of coal-fired units are relatively poor, and only large units in coastal areas are relatively stable. Although the clean energy business of the company has made great progress in recent years, its overall proportion is still relatively low, and the investment income of the newly-launched cogeneration project needs to be improved. The task of optimizing the main business structure is arduous. Thirdly, the system and mechanism is lacking in competitiveness. With the deepening of state-owned enterprise reform, power system reform and supply-side reform, the degree of marketization of upstream and downstream enterprises in power production continues to improve, which reduces the profitability of the company. However, the company's internal management mechanism, operation mode and allocation measures still remain under the traditional system. It is necessary to speed up the reform of the system and mechanism so as to truly improve the company's market competitiveness. 39 Guangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. 2018Annual Report (V) Countermeasures Firstly, focus on improving quality and efficiency, improving the level of management, and improving the quality and efficiency of enterprise operations. Comprehensively organize the value chain of "purchase-production-supply-sale" of power generation enterprises, reasonably define the management interface and value interface, implement the management responsibility for compacting relevant factors, fully connect with the coal, natural gas and electricity markets, establish a new mechanism that is conducive to releasing the operating pressure of the main power industry to the market, and improve the market competitiveness of power generation enterprises. Ensure that Guangdong Electric Power's characteristic power marketing system is implemented in place, so that power marketing can more adapt to market changes. Continue to promote all-round meticulous management for all employees, continuously improve the management level and enhance the quality and efficiency of enterprise operation. Secondly, adhere to the new development concept and steady progress, and improve the quality of development. Continue to implement the deployment and instruction spirit of Guangdong provincial government on vigorously developing offshore wind power and promoting industrial transformation and upgrading, and accelerate the development of offshore wind power projects; In combination with national policies, encourage the development of clean energy sources such as natural gas and biomass and the clean and efficient use of coal, accelerate the layout of gas, clean coal and biomass power generation projects and strive for new development opportunities; Based on the development plan of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, full use the opportunity of decommissioning and reconstruction of Shajiao Power Plant to build a super-strong energy supply base with combined supply of gas, electricity, heat and coldness. Thirdly, persist in the mechanism of deepening the reform and innovating the development. Taking the opportunity of the controlling shareholder Guangdong Energy Group's implementation of the three-level control mode adjustment of "group headquarters+platform enterprises+business units", further straighten out its control mode over subordinate enterprises, optimize the system process, and establish an efficient control system with hierarchical responsibility, hierarchical decision-making and hierarchical management to ensure that it is "well received and well managed". Vigorously promote the construction of incentive and restraint mechanisms, formulate new measures for the assessment and compensation incentive management of subordinate enterprises, establish a new assessment index system that integrates party building, safety, operation, development and enterprise management, and establish a long-term incentive mechanism that combines long term and short term, focuses on both incentives and constraints, and integrates benefit distribution and long-term value creation.

Other Information Management of Guangdong Electric Power is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information included in 2018 annual report of Guangdong Electric Power other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of Management and the Audit Committee for the Financial Statements Management of Guangdong Electric Power is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the CASs, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing these financial statements, management is responsible for assessing Guangdong Electric Power’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate Guangdong Electric Power or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing Guangdong Electric Power’s financial reporting process. 108 PwC ZT Shen Zi (2019) No. 10033 (Page 5 of 6) Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether these financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with CSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with CSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Guangdong Electric Power’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in these financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause Guangdong Electric Power to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within Guangdong Electric Power to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 109 PwC ZT Shen Zi (2019) No. 10033 (Page 6 of 6) Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (Cont’d) We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 1 General information Guangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. (“the Company”) is a limited liability company jointly established by Guangdong Electric Power Holding Company, China Construction Bank, Guangdong Province Trust Investment Company, Guangdong Power Development Co., Ltd., Guangdong International Trust and China Guangfa Bank (currently named as Guangdong Guangkong Group Co., Ltd.). The address of the Company’s registered office and head office is F33~F36 South Tower Building of Yudean Square on 2nd Tianhe East Road, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, the People’s Republic of China (“the PRC”). The Company’s parent company is Guangdong Energy Group Co., Ltd. (“GEGC”, previously Guangdong Province Yudean Group Co., Ltd.) and its ultimate controlling shareholder is the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the People’s Government of Guangdong Province. The Company’s RMB ordinary shares (“A-share”) and domestic listed foreign shares (“B-share”) issued were listed for transactions in Shenzhen Stock Exchange respectively on 26 November 1993 and 28 June 1995. As at 31 December 2018, the total share capital of the Company was RMB 5,250,283,986 with par value of RMB 1 per share. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Group”) are principally engaged in the businesses of developing and operating electric power plants in Guangdong Province, the PRC. For the information of the Company’s major subsidiaries included in the consolidation scope in the current year, please refer to Note 6(1). The financial statement have been authorised for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on 11 April 2019. 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates The Group determines its specific accounting policies and accounting estimates on the basis of the production and operation feature, which is reflected in: depreciation of fixed assets (Note 2(14), impairment of long-term assets (Note 2(19)), and recognition of deferred income taxes (Note 2(25)), etc. Details of the Group's critical judgements used in determining significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 2(29). (1) Basis of preparation The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises - Basic Standard, and the specific accounting standards and other relevant regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance on 15 February 2006 and in subsequent periods (hereafter collectively referred to as “the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises” or “CAS”) and the disclosure requirements in the Preparation Convention of Information Disclosure by Companies Offering Securities to the Public No.15 - General Rules on Financial Reporting issued by the China Securities Regulatory Commission. As at 31 December 2018, the Group’s net current liabilities amounted to RMB 7,175 million. Capital commitments contracted for by the Group amounted to RMB 8,351 million, among which the capital expenditure due within one year amounted to RMB 2,927 million. Therefore, the Group is to some extent exposed to liquidity risk. The reason for net current liabilities is that a portion of the Group’s capital expenditure is backed by short-term borrowings and funds in hand. Management of the Company plans to take the following measures to ensure that the Group can continuously obtain sufficient working capital to liquidate debts due within 12 months starting from 31 December 2018, therefore, the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. (a) The Group continuously generates profit after its generator sets have successively been put into production in recent years. Management expects stable cash inflows from operating activities in the future; and 124 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (1) Basis of preparation (Cont’d) (b) The Group maintains good relations of long-term cooperation with financial institutions (including the Company’s associate Guangdong Yudean Finance Co., Ltd. (“Yudean Finance”)) in order to obtain sufficient financing credit lines. As at 31 December 2018, the Group’s available line of credit from financial institutions amounted to approximately RMB 20,635 million, with RMB 7,210 million from Yudean Finance, RMB 9,225 million from other commercial banks and financial institutions, and remaining financing credit lines of medium-term notes of RMB 4,200 million obtained from China's inter-bank market, among which approximately RMB 5,552 million is due before 31 December 2019. The management has communicated with the financial institutions and hence expected the line of credit due before 31 December 2019 to renew the term for another 12 months. (2) Statement of compliance with the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018 are in compliance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and truly and completely present the consolidated and the Company’s financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2018 and their financial performance, cash flows and other information for the year then ended. (3) Accounting year The Company’s accounting year starts on 1 January and ends on 31 December. (4) Recording currency The recording currency is Renminbi (RMB). (5) Business combinations (a) Business combinations involving enterprises under common control The consideration paid and net assets obtained by the absorbing party in a business combination are measured at the carrying amount. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained from the combination and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination is treated as an adjustment to capital surplus (share premium). If the capital surplus (share premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the remaining balance is adjusted against retained earnings. Costs directly attributable to the combination are included in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Transaction costs associated with the issue of equity or debt securities for the business combination are included in the initially recognised amounts of the equity or debt securities. (b) Business combinations involving enterprises not under common control The cost of combination and identifiable net assets obtained by the acquirer in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Where the cost of the combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognised as goodwill; where the cost of combination is lower than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Costs directly attributable to the combination are included in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Transaction costs associated with the issue of equity or debt securities for the business combination are included in the initially recognised amounts of the equity or debt securities. 125 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (6) Preparation of consolidated financial statements The 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 the date that such control ceases. For a subsidiary that is acquired in a business combination involving enterprises under common control, it is included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when it, together with the Company, comes under common control of the ultimate controlling party. The portion of the net profit realised before the combination date is presented separately in the consolidated income statement. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, where the accounting policies and the accounting periods of the Company and subsidiaries are inconsistent, the financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies and the accounting period of the Company. For subsidiaries acquired from business combinations involving enterprises not under common control, the individual financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. All significant intra-group balances, transactions and unrealised profits are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The portion of subsidiaries’ shareholders' equity and the portion of subsidiaries’ net profits and losses and comprehensive incomes for the period not attributable to the Company are recognised as minority interests, net profit attributed to minority interests and total comprehensive incomes attributed to non-controlling interests and presented separately in the consolidated financial statements under shareholders' equity, net profit and total comprehensive income respectively. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sale of assets by the Company to its subsidiaries are fully eliminated against net profit attributable to owners of the parent. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sale of assets by a subsidiary to the Company are eliminated and allocated between net profit attributable to owners of the parent and net profit attributed to minority interests in accordance with the allocation proportion of the parent in the subsidiary. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sale of assets by one subsidiary to another are eliminated and allocated between net profit attributable to owners of the parent and net profit attributed to minority interests in accordance with the allocation proportion of the parent in the subsidiary. If the accounting treatment of a transaction is inconsistent in the financial statements at the Group level and at the Company or its subsidiary level, adjustment will be made from the perspective of the Group. (7) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits that can be readily drawn on demand, and short-term and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. (8) Foreign currency translation Foreign currency transactions are translated into RMB using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into RMB using the spot exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from these translations are recognised in profit or loss for the current period, except for those attributable to foreign currency 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 currencies that are measured at historical costs are translated at the balance sheet date using the spot exchange rates at the date of the transactions. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately in the cash flow statement. 126 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (9) Financial instruments (a) Financial assets (i) Classification of financial assets Financial assets are classified into the following categories at initial recognition: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, receivables, available-for-sale financial assets and held-to-maturity investments. The classification of financial assets depends on the Group’s intention and ability to hold the financial assets. During the current year, The Group's financial assets include receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. Receivables Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories at initial recognition. Available-for-sale financial assets are included in other current assets on the balance sheet if management intends to dispose of them within 1 year (inclusive) after the balance sheet date. (ii) Recognition and measurement Financial assets are recognised at fair value on the balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. For receivables and available-for-sale financial assets, transaction costs that are attributable to acquisition of the financial assets are included in their initially recognised amounts. Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Investments in equity instruments are measured at cost when they do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured. Receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from change in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised directly in equity, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses arising from translation of monetary financial assets. When such financial assets are derecognised, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognised directly in equity are recycled into profit or loss for the current period. (iii) Impairment of financial assets The Group assesses the carrying amounts of financial assets other than those at fair value through profit or loss at each balance sheet date. If there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired, an impairment loss is provided for. Objective evidence indicating impairment of financial assets refers to the matter that actually occurs after the initial recognition of financial assets and will affect estimated future cash flows of financial assets, and whose impact can be reliably measured. 127 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (9) Financial instruments (Cont'd) (a) Financial assets (Cont’d) (iii) Impairment of financial assets (Cont'd) The objective evidences for impairment of investments in available-for-sale equity instruments include significant or non-temporary decline in the fair value of investments in equity instruments. The Group assesses the investments in available-for-sale equity instruments on an individual basis at each balance sheet date. If the fair value of an investment in equity instruments on the balance sheet date is lower than its initial investment cost for more than 50% (inclusive) or is continuously lower than its initial investment cost for more than 1 year (inclusive), then an impairment is incurred; if the fair value of an investment in equity instruments on the balance sheet date is lower than its initial investment cost for more than 20% (inclusive), but not yet 50%, the Group will consider other related factors such as price fluctuation rate to determine whether the investment in equity instruments is impaired. The Group calculates the initial investment cost of available-for-sale equity instruments using the weighted average method. When an impairment loss on a financial asset carried at amortised cost has occurred, the amount of the impairment loss is provided for at the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of its estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). If there is objective evidence that the value of the financial asset recovered and the recovery is related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed and the amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss. If an impairment loss on available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value incurs, the cumulative losses arising from the decline in fair value that has been recognised directly in equity are transferred out from equity into impairment loss. For an investment in debt instrument classified as available-for-sale on which the impairment loss has been recognised, if, in a subsequent period, its fair value increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss for the current period. For an investment in an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale on which the impairment loss has been recognised, the increase in its fair value in a subsequent period is recognised directly in equity. If an impairment loss on an available-for-sale financial asset measured at cost incurs, the amount of loss is measured at the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset, and recorded in profit or loss for the current period. The previously recognised impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods. (iv) Derecognition of financial assets A 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 of ownership of the financial asset to the transferee, or (iii) the financial asset has been transferred and the Group has not retained control of the financial asset, although the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative changes in fair value that had been recognised directly in owners’ equity, is recognised in profit or loss. 128 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (9) Financial instruments (Cont'd) (b) Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified into the following categories at initial recognition: financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities. The financial liabilities of the Group mainly comprise other financial liabilities, including payables, borrowings, bonds payable, etc. Payables, including accounts payable, notes receivable and other payables, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings and debentures payable are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Other financial liabilities with maturities no more than one year (inclusive) are classified as current liabilities; those with maturities over one year but are due within one year (inclusive) as from the balance sheet date are classified as current portion of non-current liabilities. Others are classified as non-current liabilities. A financial liability is derecognised or partly derecognised when the underlying present obligation is discharged or partly discharged. The difference between the carrying amount of the derecognised part of the financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. (c) Determination of fair value of financial instruments The fair value of a financial instrument that is traded in an active market is determined at the quoted price in the active market. The fair value of a financial instrument that is not traded in an active market is determined by using a valuation technique. In valuation, the Group adopts valuation techniques applicable in the current situation and supported by adequate available data and other information, selects inputs with the same characteristics as those of assets or liabilities considered in relevant transactions of assets or liabilities by market participants, and gives priority to the use of relevant observable inputs. When relevant observable inputs are not available or feasible, unobservable inputs are adopted. (10) Receivables Receivables comprise notes and accounts receivables, other receivables, etc. Accounts receivable arising from sale of goods or rendering of services are initially recognised at fair value of the contractual payments from the buyers or service recipients. 129 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (10) Receivables (Cont’d) (a) Receivables with amounts that are individually significant and subject to separate assessment for provision for bad debts Receivables with amounts that are individually significant are subject to separate assessment for impairment. If there exists objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the amount under the original terms, a provision for impairment of that receivable is made. The criterion for determining "amounts that are individually significant" is: the five largest accounts receivable and other receivables with individual amount more than RMB 5,000,000 and all long-term receivables. The method of providing for bad debts for those individually significant amounts is as follows: the amount of the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the receivable below its carrying amount. (b) Receivables that the related provision for bad debts is provided on the grouping basis Receivables with amounts that are not individually significant and those receivables that have been individually assessed for impairment and have not been found impaired are classified into certain groupings based on their credit risk characteristics. Provision for bad debts is determined based on the historical loss experience for groupings of receivables with similar credit risk characteristics, taking into consideration of the current circumstances. The basis of the grouping recognition: Name of groupings Basis of recognition The grouping includes receivables from sales of electricity, receivables from government, receivables from related Low-risk grouping parties, supplementary medical insurance fund receivable, etc. The grouping refers to the receivables except for the low-risk Ageing analysis grouping grouping. The method of provision for bad debts on the grouping basis is as follows: Name of groupings Method of provision Low-risk grouping No provision Ageing analysis grouping Ageing analysis method Provision method which is determined based on the groupings with similar credit risk characteristics is ageing analysis method, and provision ratios are listed as follows: Provision ratio for accounts receivable and other receivables Within 1 year 1% 1 to 2 years 10% 2 to 3 years 30% Over 3 years 100% 130 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (10) Receivables (Cont’d) (c) Receivables with amounts that are not individually significant but subject to separate assessment for provision for bad debts The reason for making separate assessment for provision for bad debts is that there exists objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the amount under the original terms of the receivable. Provision for bad debts is determined at the excess of the carrying amount of the receivables over the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the receivables. (11) Inventories (a) Classification Inventories mainly comprise fuel and spare parts, and are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. (b) Costing of inventories Cost of fuel is calculated using the weighted average method. Spare parts are amortised in full amount when issued for use. (c) Basis for determining net realisable values of inventories and method for making provision for decline in the value of inventories Provision for decline in the value of inventories is determined at the excess amount of the carrying amounts of the inventories over their net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs necessary to make the sales and related taxes. (d) The Group adopts the perpetual inventory system. 131 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (12) Long-term equity investments Long-term equity investments comprise the Company’s long-term equity investments in its subsidiaries, and the Group’s long-term equity investments in its joint ventures and associates. Subsidiaries are the investees over which the Company is able to exercise control. A joint venture is a joint arrangement which is structured through a separate vehicle over which the Group has joint control together with other parties and only has rights to the net assets of the arrangement based on legal forms, contractual terms and other facts and circumstances. An associate is the investee over which the Group has significant influence by participating in the financial and operating policy decisions. Investments in subsidiaries are presented in the Company’s financial statements using the cost method, and are adjusted using the equity method when preparing the consolidated financial statements; investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. (a) Determination of investment cost For long-term equity investments arising from business combination: for long-term equity investments arising from business combination involving enterprises under common control, the initial investment cost shall be the share of the carrying amount of owners’ equity of the combined party in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party as at the combination date; for long-term equity investments arising from business combination involving enterprises not under common control, the investment cost shall be the combination cost. Long-term equity investments acquired other than business combination: long-term equity investments acquired by cash are initially measured at the amount of actually paid; long-term equity investments acquired by the issuance of equity shares are initially measured at the fair value of equity shares issued. (b) Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss For long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method, cash dividends or profit distribution declared by the investees is recognised as investment income in profit or loss. For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, where the initial investment cost exceeds the Group’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the investment is initially measured at that cost; where the initial investment cost is less than the Group’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the difference is included in profit or loss for the current period and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted upwards accordingly. For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, the Group recognises the investment income according to its share of net profit or loss of the investee. The Group does not recognise further losses when the carrying amounts of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in investees are reduced to zero. However, if the Group has obligations for additional losses and the criteria with respect to recognition of provisions are satisfied, the Group continues recognising the investment losses and the provisions at the amount it expects to undertake. The Group’s share of the changes in investee’s owner's equity other than those arising from the net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution is recognised in capital surplus with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amounts of the long-term equity investment. The carrying amount of the investment is reduced by the Group’s share of the profit distribution or cash dividends declared by the investees. Unrealised gains or losses on transactions between the Group and its investees are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s equity interest in the investees, based on which the investment income or losses are recognised. Any losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its investees, which are attributable to asset impairment losses are not eliminated. 132 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (12) Long-term equity investments (Cont’d) (c) Basis for determining existence of control, jointly control or significant influence over investees Control is the power to govern an investee, so as to obtain variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an arrangement, and the decision of activities relating to such arrangement requires the unanimous consent of the Group and other parties sharing control. Significant influence is the power to participate in making the decisions on financial and operating policies of the investee, but is not control or joint control over making those policies. (d) Impairment of long-term equity investments The carrying amounts of long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are reduced to the recoverable amounts when the recoverable amounts are below their carrying amounts (Note 2(19)). (13) Investment properties Investment properties, including land use rights that have already been leased out and buildings that are held for the purpose of leasing, are measured initially at cost. Subsequent expenditures incurred in relation to an investment property are included in the cost of the investment property when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and their costs can be reliably measured; otherwise, the expenditures are recognised in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred. The Group adopts the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment properties. Buildings and land use rights are depreciated or amortised to their estimated net residual values over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives, the estimated net residual values that are expressed as a percentage of cost and the annual depreciation (amortisation) rates of investment properties are as follows: Estimated net residual Annual depreciation Estimated useful lives values rates Buildings 22 to 30 years 5% 3.17% to 4.32% When an investment property is transferred to owner-occupied property, it is reclassified to fixed asset with the carrying amount determined at the carrying amount of the investment property at the date of the transfer. 133 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (13) Investment properties (Cont’d) The estimated useful life and the estimated net residual value of an investment property and the depreciation (amortisation) method applied to the property are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end. An investment property is derecognised on disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. The net amount of proceeds from sales, transfer, retirement or damage of an investment property after its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. (14) Fixed assets (a) Recognition and initial measurement of fixed assets Fixed assets comprise buildings, power generation equipment, motor vehicles and other equipment. Fixed assets are recognised when it is probable that the related economic benefits will flow to the Group and the costs can be reliably measured. Fixed assets purchased or constructed by the Group are initially measured at cost at the time of acquisition. The fixed assets contributed by the State shareholders at the reorganisation of the Company into a corporation are recognised based on the evaluated amounts as approved by the state-owned assets administration department. Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and the related cost can be reliably measured. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All the other subsequent expenditures are recognised in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred. (b) Depreciation methods of fixed assets Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the assets to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives. For the fixed assets that have been provided for impairment loss, the related depreciation charge is prospectively determined based upon the adjusted carrying amounts over their remaining useful lives. The estimated useful lives, the estimated residual values expressed as a percentage of cost and the annual depreciation rates of fixed assets are as follows: Estimated useful Estimated net Annual depreciation lives residual values rates Buildings 10 to 50 years 5% 1.90% to 9.50% Power generation equipment 5 to 31 years 0% to 5% 3.06% to 20.00% Motor vehicles 5 to 15 years 0% to 5% 6.33% to 20.00% Other equipment 5 to 22 years 0% to 5% 4.32% to 20.00% The estimated useful life and the estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation method applied to the asset are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end. (c) The carrying amounts of fixed assets are reduced to the recoverable amounts when the recoverable amounts are below their carrying amounts (Note 2(19)). 134 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (14) Fixed assets (Cont’d) (d) Basis for identification of fixed assets held under finance leases and related measurement A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset is a finance lease. The leased asset is recognised at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The difference between the recorded amount of the leased asset and the minimum lease payments is accounted for as unrecognised finance charge (Note 2(26)(b)). Fixed assets held under a finance lease is depreciated on a basis consistent with the depreciation policy adopted for fixed assets that are self-owned. When a leased asset can be reasonably determined that its ownership will be transferred at the end of the lease term, it is depreciated over its estimated useful life; otherwise, the leased asset is depreciated over the shorter period of the lease term and its estimated useful life. (e) Disposal of fixed assets A fixed asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The amount of proceeds from disposals on sale, transfer, retirement or damage of a fixed asset net of its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. (15) Construction in progress Construction in progress is measured at actual cost. Actual cost comprises construction costs, installation costs, borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalisation and other costs necessary to bring the fixed assets ready for their intended use. Construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when the assets are ready for their intended use, and depreciation is charged starting from the following month. The carrying amount of construction in progress is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is below its carrying amount (Note 2(19)). (16) Borrowing costs The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to acquisition and construction of an asset that needs a substantially long period of time for its intended use commence to be capitalised and recorded as part of the cost of the asset when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs have been incurred, and the activities relating to the acquisition and construction that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use have commenced. The capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when the asset under acquisition or construction becomes ready for its intended use and the borrowing costs incurred thereafter are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition or construction of an asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption lasts for more than 3 months, until the acquisition or construction is resumed. The capitalised amount of specific borrowings intended to be used for the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets is determined by the interest expenses incurred in the period less interest income of the unused borrowings deposited at bank or investment income from temporary investments. The capitalised amount of general borrowings intended to be used for the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets is determined by the weighted average of the excess of accumulated capital expenditure over capital expenditure of the special borrowings multiplied by the weighted average effective interest rate of the utilised general borrowings. The effective interest rate is the rate at which the future cash flows of the borrowings over the expected lifetime or a shorter applicable period are discounted into the initial recognised amount of the borrowings. 135 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (17) Intangible assets Intangible assets include land use rights, sea use rights, software, franchise right, associated projects for electricity transmission and transformation, microwave engineering and transportation engineering, and are measured at cost. The intangible assets contributed by the state shareholders at the reorganisation of the Company into a corporation are recognised based on the revaluated amounts as approved by the state-owned assets administration department. (a) Land use rights and sea use rights Land use rights are amortised on the straight-line basis over their approved use period of 20 to 70 years. If the acquisition costs of the land use rights and the buildings located thereon cannot be reasonably allocated between the land use rights and the buildings, all of the acquisition costs are recognised as fixed assets. Sea use rights are amortised on the straight-line basis over their approved useful lives of 50 years. (b) Associated projects for electricity transmission and transformation, microwave engineering and transportation engineering Associated projects for electricity transmission and transformation and microwave engineering refer to grid connection project undertaken by the Group for transmitting electricity to Guangdong Power Grid. From the start of use, they are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated beneficial period of 16 years. Transportation engineering is amortised on a straight-line basis over their benefit period of 20 years. (c) Other intangible assets Fixed assets other than land use rights, sea use rights, associated projects for electricity transmission and transformation, microwave engineering and transportation engineering are amortised on a straight-line-basis over the expected useful lives of 2 to 25 years. (d) Periodical review of useful life and amortisation method For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, review of its useful life and amortisation method is performed at each year-end, with adjustment made as appropriate. (e) Impairment of intangible assets The carrying amount of an intangible asset is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is below the carrying amount (Note 2(19)). (18) Long-term prepaid expenses Long-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 in the current and subsequent periods. Long-term prepaid expenses are amortised on the straight-line basis over the expected beneficial period and are presented at actual expenditure net of accumulated amortisation. 136 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (19) Impairment of long-term assets Fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with finite useful lives, investment properties that are measured at cost and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are tested for impairment if there is any indication that an asset may be impaired at the balance sheet date. If the result of the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment and an impairment loss are recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Provision for asset impairment is determined and recognised on the individual asset basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of a group of assets to which the asset belongs is determined. A group of assets is the 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 of goodwill is allocated to the related asset group or groups of asset groups which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. If the result of the test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset group or a group of asset groups, including the allocated goodwill, is lower than its carrying amount, the corresponding impairment loss is recognised. The impairment loss is first deducted from the carrying amount of goodwill that is allocated to the asset group or group of asset groups, and then deducted from the carrying amounts of other assets within the asset group or group of asset groups in proportion to the carrying amounts of assets other than goodwill. Once the above asset impairment loss is recognised, it will not be reversed for the value recovered in the subsequent periods. (20) Employee benefits Employee benefits refer to all forms of consideration or compensation given by the Group in exchange for service rendered by employees or for termination of employment relationship, which include short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits. (a) Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits include wages or salaries, bonus, allowances and subsidies, staff welfare, premiums or contributions on medical insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance, housing funds, union running costs and employee education costs, short-term paid absences and etc. The short-term employee benefits actually occurred are recognised as a liability in the accounting period in which the service is rendered by the employees, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the current period or the cost of relevant assets. Non-monetary benefits are measured at fair value. (b) Post-employment benefits The Group classifies post-employment benefit plans as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate fund and will have no obligation to pay further contributions; and defined benefit plans are post-employment benefit plans other than defined contribution plans. During the reporting period, the Group's post-employment benefits mainly include basic pensions, unemployment insurance and supplementary pensions, and all of them belong to the defined contribution plans. 137 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (20) Employee benefits (Cont'd) (b) Post-employment benefits (Cont'd) Basic pensions The Group’s employees participate in the basic pension plan set up and administered by local authorities of Ministry of Human Resource and Social Security. Monthly payments of premiums on the basic pensions are calculated according to the bases and percentage prescribed by the relevant local authorities. When employees retire, the relevant local authorities are obliged to pay the basic pensions to them. Supplementary pensions The Company purchases supplementary pensions for employees, and pays insurance premium according to the policies of GEGC. The amounts based on the above calculations are recognised as liabilities in the accounting period in which the service has been rendered by the employees, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the current period or the cost of relevant assets. (c) Termination benefits The Group provides compensation for terminating the employment relationship with employees before the end of the employment contracts or as an offer to encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy before the end of the employment contracts. The Group recognises a liability arising from compensation for termination of the employment relationship with employees, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss for the current period at the earlier of the following dates: 1) when the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw an employment termination plan or a curtailment proposal; 2) when the Group recognises costs or expenses for a restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits. Early retirement benefits The Group offers early retirement benefits to those employees who accept early retirement arrangements. The early retirement benefits refer to the salaries and social security contributions to be paid to and for the employees who accept voluntary retirement before the normal retirement date prescribed by the State, as approved by the management. The Group pays early retirement benefits to those early retired employees from the early retirement date until the normal retirement date. The Group accounts for the early retirement benefits in accordance with the treatment for termination benefits, in which the salaries and social security contributions to be paid to and for the early retired employees from the off-duty date to the normal retirement date are recognised as liabilities with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the current period. The differences arising from the changes in the respective actuarial assumptions of the early retirement benefits and the adjustments of benefit standards are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they occur. The termination benefits expected to be settled within one year since the balance sheet date are classified as current liabilities. 138 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (21) Dividend distribution Cash dividends are recognised as liabilities in the period in which the dividends are approved by the shareholders’ meeting. (22) Provisions Provisions for product warranties, onerous contracts and 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 the obligation can be measured reliably. A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related present obligation. Factors surrounding a contingency, such as the risks, uncertainties and the time value of money, are taken into account as a whole in reaching the best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the best estimate is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows. The increase in the 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 best estimate. The provisions expected to be settled within one year since the balance sheet date are classified as current liabilities. (23) Revenue recognition The amount of revenue is determined in accordance with the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue is stated net of discounts, rebates and returns. Revenue is recognised when it’s probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group, the related revenue can be reliably measured, and the specific criteria of revenue recognition have been met for each type of the Group’s activities as described below: (a) Revenue from sales of electricity and heat energy Revenue is recognised when electricity and heat energy are supplied to grid companies or customers. (b) Revenue from sales of by-products Revenue from the sales of goods is recognised when the Group transfers by-products (such as coal ash) produced by electricity generations to the designated delivery place pursuant to the contract or agreement and the recipient resource utilisation confirms receipt. 139 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (23) Revenue recognition (Cont’d) (c) Rendering of services The amount of revenue is determined in accordance with the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for rendering of services. The Group provides electric power transactions service and maintenance service to external parties. For the electric power transactions service provided by the Group to external parties, upon the receiving of the service, revenue is recognised based on the difference between the purchase price and the selling price of electricity. The Group provides maintenance service to external parties. The related revenue is recognised using the percentage of completion method, with the stage of completion being determined based on proportion of costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs. (d) Transfer of asset use rights Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis with reference to the deposits or the principal outstanding and the applicable effective interest rate. Rental income from an operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. (24) Government grants Government 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 be received and the Group can comply with all attached conditions. If a government grant is a monetary asset, it will be measured at the amount received or receivable. If a government grant is a non-monetary asset, it will be measured 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 purposes of purchase, construction or acquisition of the long-term assets. Government grants related to income refer to the government grants other than those related to assets. Government grants related to assets are recorded as deferred income and recognised in profit or loss on a systemic basis over the useful lives of the assets. Government grants related 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 deferred income and recognised in profit or loss in reporting the related costs, expenses or losses; government grants related to income that compensate incurred costs, expenses or losses are recognised in profit or loss directly in the current period. The Group applies the presentation method consistently to the similar government grants in the financial statements. 140 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (24) Government grants (Cont’d) Government grants that are related to ordinary activities are included in operating profit, otherwise, they are recorded in non-operating income or expenses. For the policy loans with favourable interest rates, the Group records the loans at the actual amounts and calculates the interests by loan principals and the favourable interest rates. (25) Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognised based on the differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts (temporary differences). Deferred tax asset is recognised for the deductible losses that can be carried forward to subsequent years for deduction of the taxable profit in accordance with the tax laws. No deferred tax liability is recognised for a temporary difference arising from the initial recognition of goodwill. No deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability is recognised for the temporary differences resulting from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities due to a transaction other than a business combination, which affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss). At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates 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 to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available in the future against which the deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the timing of reversal of the temporary difference, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. When it is probable that the temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures will be reversed in the foreseeable future and that the taxable profit will be available in the future against which the temporary differences can be utilised, the corresponding deferred tax assets are recognised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when: the deferred tax assets and liabilities are related to the same tax payer within the Group and the same taxation authority; and, that tax payer within the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities. 141 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (26) Leases A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset is a finance lease. An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. (a) Operating leases Lease payments under an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease, and are either capitalised as part of the cost of related assets, or charged as an expense for the current period. Rental income from an operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. (b) Finance leases The leased asset is recognised at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The difference between the recorded amount of the leased asset and the minimum lease payments is accounted for as unrecognised finance charge and is amortised using the effective interest method over the period of the lease. A long-term payable is recorded at the amount equal to the minimum lease payments less the unrecognised finance charge. (27) Held for sale and discontinued operations A non-current asset or a disposal group is classified as held for sale when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) the non-current asset or the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such non-current asset or disposal group; (2) the Group has entered a legally enforceable sales agreement with other party and obtained relevant approval, and the sales transaction is expected to be completed within one year. Non-current assets (except for financial assets, investment properties measured at fair value and deferred tax assets) that meet the recognition criteria for held for sale are recognised at the amount equal to the lower of the fair value less costs to sell and the carrying amount, and the excess of the original carrying amount over the fair value less costs to sell is recognised as asset impairment loss. Such non-current assets and assets and liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale are classified as current assets and current liabilities respectively, and are separately presented in the balance sheet. 142 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (27) Held for sale and discontinued operations (Cont’d) A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, and is separately identifiable and satisfies one of the following conditions: (1) it represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; (2) it is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; and (3) it is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The net profit from discontinued operations in the income statement includes operating profit or loss and disposal gains or losses of discontinued operations. (28) Segment information The Group identifies operating segments based on the internal organisation structure, management requirements and internal reporting system, and discloses segment information of reportable segments which is determined on the basis of operating segments. An operating segment is a component of the Group that satisfies all of the following conditions: (1) the component is able to earn revenues and incur expenses from its ordinary activities; (2) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s management to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and (3) for which the information on financial position, operating results and cash flows is available to the Group. Two or more operating segments that have similar economic characteristics and satisfy certain conditions can be aggregated into one single operating segment. (29) Critical accounting estimates and judgements The Group continually evaluates the critical accounting estimates and key judgements applied based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The critical accounting estimates and key assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next accounting year are outlined below: (a) Estimates on provision for impairment of long-term assets As described in Note 2(19), fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with finite useful lives, investment properties that are measured at cost and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are tested for impairment if there’s indications that the assets may be impaired at the balance sheet date. When assessing whether there’s indication that the above assets are impaired, management mainly evaluate and analyse: (1) whether events affecting asset impairment occurred; (2) whether the present value of expected cash flows arising from the continuing use or disposal of the asset is lower than its carrying amount; (3) whether the assumptions used in estimating the present value of future cash flows is appropriate. Relevant assumptions adopted by the Group to determine impairment, e.g. changes in assumptions on discount rate and growth rate used to calculate the present value of future cash flows, may have material impact on the present value used in the impairment test, and cause impairment in the above-mentioned long-term assets of the Group. 143 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (29) Critical accounting estimates and judgements (Cont’d) (b) Useful lives and residual value of fixed assets The useful lives and residual value of fixed assets are determined by management after taking into account their durability and past maintenance records based on the industry practice. The useful life of the assets is reviewed at each year-end with appropriate adjustments made accordingly. Any changes in the useful lives and residual value of fixed assets may have significant impact on the Group’s net profit. (c) Income taxes The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. There are some transactions and events for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Significant judgement is required from the Group in determining the provision for income taxes in each of these jurisdictions. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. (d) Deferred tax assets Whether to recognise the deferred tax assets arising from deductible losses and deductible temporary differences largely depends on the judgement of management on whether sufficient future taxable income that can be used to deduct deductible losses and deductible temporary differences can be obtained in the future periods. A lot of judgements and estimates are required to calculate the future taxable income, and tax planning strategies and the influence of overall economic environment shall be considered at the same time. Different judgements and estimates will impact on the recognition and amount of deferred tax assets. When it is estimated that sufficient future taxable income, against which deductible losses and temporary differences can be utilised, can be obtained in the future periods, deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available in the future against which deductible losses and temporary differences can be utilised, using tax rates applicable in the period when the asset would be recovered. In determining the amount of deferred tax assets, the Group exercises judgements about the estimated timing and amount of future taxable income, and about the tax rates applicable in the future according to the existing tax policies and other relevant regulations. Differences between such estimates and the actual timing and amount of future profits will affect the amount of deferred tax assets. 144 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.

In 2018, the Group carried out tests for impairment of the asset groups related to generator units of Shajiao A Power Plant and made a provision for impairment of power generation equipment of 1# generator unit, amounting to RMB 40,395,369. Note 5 Impairment of the asset groups related to generator units and goodwill of Lincang Energy As the competition in Yunnan hydropower market is fierce, Lincang Energy is suffering from continuous operation loss. In 2018, the Group carried out tests for impairment of the asset groups related to generator units of Lincang Energy and made a provision for impairment, in which that of fixed assets amounted to RMB 82,261,857 and that of intangible assets amounted to RMB 56,502,373, as the carrying amount of related asset groups was lower than the recoverable amount. In addition, on 5 January 2015, the Group exchanged for 51.00% of the equity in Lincang Energy held by third parties with 14.34% of equity in Weixin Yuntou. The excess of the combination cost over the fair value of the Group’s share of Lincang Energy’s identifiable assets and liabilities amounted to RMB 25,036,894 and was recognised as goodwill related to Lincang Energy. In the test of goodwill impairment in 2018, the Group compared the carrying amount of related asset groups (including goodwill) of Lincang Energy with its recoverable amount, and recorded a provision of RMB 25,036,894 for impairment of the goodwill. The aforesaid recoverable amounts were determined based on the present value of the expected future cash flows of related asset groups and the discount rate of 9.98% using the valuation model. Note 6 Pursuant to the Circular on Shutdown of Heating Boilers upon Operation of Huizhou LNG Project Phase II issued by Huizhou municipal government and the Reply to the Environmental Assessment on Cogeneration Expansion Project of Huizhou LNG Power Plant (Yue Huan Shen [2012] No. 291) issued by the Department of Environmental Protection of Guangdong Province, it is required to shut down the dual-fuel heating boilers before the environmental acceptance check of the project completion in prevention of pollution and ecological damages. As such heating boilers were shut down in 2018, management recognised impairment of these assets amounting to RMB 23,895,462. 169 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.

The penalties had been recorded as non-operating expenses in 2016 and 2018 respectively. As at 31 December 2018, Pinghai Power had appealed for the aforesaid matter, but the litigation outcome had not been determined. Since the penalties remain unpaid, they are presented in other payables. According to the Agreement on Share Issuance and Asset Procurement entered into by GEGC and the Company in 2012, GEGC makes commitments that, if the target company’s activities before the closing date cause itself potential significant litigation, arbitration, administrative punishment and/or other events that go against relevant laws and regulations and fail to present in the target asset prices as well as in the net asset value of the target company determined in the special audit on the closing date, any damage caused by such activities to the Company would be compensated by GEGC timely and sufficiently in cash based on the equity of target company transferred to the Company in the transaction within 30 days after GEGC legally determines the actual losses caused by such activities. GEGC would make compensation to the Company based on the litigation result of the punishment in 2016 and the actual losses caused by such case. As the litigation result of the punishment remain undetermined, the Group could not determine the compensation obtained from GEGC, thus the Group did not recognise the receivables and income in 2018. 185 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.

Different businesses or areas require different technologies and marketing strategies, the Group, therefore, separately manages the production and operation of each reportable segment and evaluates their operating results respectively, in order to make decisions about resources to be allocated to these segments and to assess their performance. The Group possesses 9 reportable segments, in charge of power generating and selling in different regions in Guangdong Province. Inter-segment transfer prices are measured by reference to selling prices to third parties. The assets are allocated based on the operations of the segment and the physical location of the asset. The liabilities are allocated based on the operations of the segment. Expenses indirectly attributable to each segment are allocated to the segments based on the proportion of each segment’s revenue. For the purposes of assessing segment performance and distributing resources among segments, the Group’s management regularly reviews assets, liabilities, income, expenses and business performance attributable to each reportable segment on the following bases: Segment assets include all tangible assets, intangible assets, other long-term assets and current assets like accounts receivable, with the exception of deferred tax assets and other unallocated corporate assets. Segment liabilities include payables and advances, bank borrowings and interest payable, long-term and short-term debentures and dividends payable attributable to the individual segments, but exclude deferred tax liabilities. Segment financial performance represents operating income (including trading revenues from external customers and inter-segment), deducting expenses, depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses attributable to the individual segments, and interest income and expense from cash balances and borrowings directly attributable to one of the segments.

As at 31 December 2018, the carrying amount of Shajiao A’s long-term assets related to the generator units under the accelerated depreciation was RMB 668,744,890. Due to such matter, management of the Company expected that the net profit and owners’ equity for the year ended 31 December 2019 would decrease by RMB 173,571,346. (2) According to the resolution at the Board of Directors’ meeting dated on 11 April 2019, the Board suggested the Group appropriating 10% and 25% of net profit, amounting to RMB 117,603,557 and RMB 294,008,893 to the statutory surplus reserves and the discretionary surplus reserve, respectively (2017: the Group appropriated RMB 69,654,691 of statutory surplus reserves and RMB 174,136,728 of discretionary surplus reserve).

The proposal is still pending for the approval of the shareholders’ meeting. The cash dividends proposed after the balance sheet date have not been recognised as liabilities at the balance sheet date. 12 Financial risk The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (primarily including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. (1) Market risk (a) Foreign exchange risk The Group’s major operational activities are carried out in Mainland China and a majority of the transactions are denominated in RMB. The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the recognised assets and liabilities, and future transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily with respect to US dollars. The Group’s finance department at its headquarters is responsible for monitoring the amount of assets and liabilities, and transactions denominated in foreign currencies to minimise the foreign exchange risk. Therefore, the Group may take proper measures to mitigate the foreign exchange risk. During 2018 and 2017, the Group did not enter into any forward exchange contracts or currency swap contracts. 241 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.

As at 31 December 2018, if the RMB had strengthened/weakened by 10% against the EUR while all other variables had been held constant, the Group’s net profit for the year would have been approximately RMB 450,472 (31 December 2017: RMB 632,009) higher/lower for various financial liabilities denominated in EUR whose recording currency is RMB. As at 31 December 2018, if the RMB had strengthened/weakened by 10% against the HKD while all other variables had been held constant, the Group’s net profit for the year would have been approximately RMB 847 (31 December 2017: RMB 808) lower/higher for various financial assets denominated in HKD. 242 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 12 Financial risk (Cont’d) (1) Market risk (Cont’d) (b) Interest rate risk The Group’s interest rate risk mainly arises from long-term interest bearing borrowings including long-term borrowings, debentures payable and long-term payables. Financial liabilities issued at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Financial liabilities issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group determines the relative proportions of its fixed rate and floating rate contracts depending on the prevailing market conditions. As at 31 December 2018, the Group’s long-term interest bearing borrowings were mainly floating rate contracts denominated in RMB amounting to RMB 20,933,523,320 (31 December 2017: RMB 21,013,983,110). The Group’s finance department at its headquarters continuously monitors the interest rate position of the Group. Increases in interest rates will increase the cost of new borrowing and the interest expenses with respect to the Group’s outstanding floating rate borrowings, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial position. The Group determines the proportions of its fixed rate and floating rate contracts depending on the prevailing market conditions, and performs periodic reviews and monitors to maintain appropriate combinations of fixed and floating rates. In 2018 and 2017, the Group did not hedge the interest rate risk with derivative financial instruments. As at 31 December 2018, if interest rates on the floating rate borrowings had risen/fallen by 10 basis points while all other variables had been held constant, the Group’s net profit would have decreased/increased by approximately RMB 17,884,606 (31 December 2017: rise/fall by 10 basis points, approximately RMB 18,043,307). 243 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.

Credit risk mainly arises from cash at bank, notes and accounts receivables, other receivables etc. The Group expects that there is no significant credit risk associated with cash at bank since they are deposited at Yudean Finance, state-owned banks and other medium or large size listed banks. Management does not expect that there will be any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties. In addition, the Company has policies to limit the credit exposure on notes and accounts receivables and other receivables. The Group assesses the credit quality of and sets credit limits on its customers by taking into account their financial position, the availability of guarantee from third parties, their credit history and other factors such as current market conditions. The credit history of the customers is regularly monitored by the Group. In respect of customers with a poor credit history, the Group will use written payment reminders, or shorten or cancel credit periods, to ensure the overall credit risk of the Group is limited to a controllable extent. As at the balance sheet date, the Group had no significant collateral or other credit enhancements held as a result of the debtor's mortgage. (3) Liquidity risk Cash flow forecasting is performed by each subsidiary of the Group and aggregated by the Group’s finance department in its headquarters. The Group’s finance department at its headquarters monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's short-term and long-term liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash and securities that are readily convertible to cash to meet operational needs, while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities from major financial institutions so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities to meet the short-term and long-term liquidity requirements. The financial liabilities of the Group at the balance sheet date are analysed by their maturity dates below at their undiscounted contractual cash flows: 31 December 2018 Carrying amount on Within 1 year 1 to 2 years 2 to 5 years Over 5 years Total balance sheet Short-term borrowings 7,772,410,040 - - - 7,772,410,040 7,526,000,000 Notes and accounts payables 3,137,761,522 - - - 3,137,761,522 3,137,761,522 Other payables 4,152,518,495 - - - 4,152,518,495 4,152,518,495 Other current liabilities 1,109,288,333 - - - 1,109,288,333 1,107,904,110 Long-term borrowings and long-term borrowings due within one year 2,633,767,677 3,625,442,537 5,606,077,351 14,610,174,917 26,475,462,482 20,548,090,036 Debentures payable and debentures payable due within one year 758,015,172 76,621,672 833,520,000 - 1,668,156,844 1,536,994,298 Long-term payables and long-term payables due within one year (excluding payables for specific projects) 431,974,174 412,579,372 1,515,835,861 636,898,250 2,995,037,657 2,556,113,382 19,995,735,413 4,114,643,581 7,953,183,212 15,247,073,167 47,310,635,373 40,565,381,843 244 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 245 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 13 Fair value estimates (Cont’d) (1) Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis As at 31 December 2018, the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the above three levels are analysed below: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Available-for-sale financial assets - Available-for-sale equity instruments 340,765,380 - 799,040,951 1,139,806,331 As at 31 December 2017, the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the above three levels are analysed below: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Available-for-sale financial assets - Available-for-sale equity instruments 408,992,985 - - 408,992,985 The Group takes the date on which events causing the transfers between the levels take place as the timing specific for recognising the transfers. There is no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 for the current year. The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is determined at the quoted market price; and the fair value of those not traded in an active market is determined by the Group using valuation technique. The valuation models used mainly comprise discounted cash flow model and market comparable corporate model. The inputs of the valuation technique mainly include risk-free interest rate, benchmark rate, exchange rate, credit spread, liquidity premium, EBITDA multiplier, liquidity discount, etc. (2) Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value but for which the fair value is disclosed Financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost mainly include receivables, available-for-sale financial assets, short-term borrowings, payables, long-term borrowings, debentures payable and long-term payables. The carrying amount of the financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value is a reasonable approximation of their fair value. 14 Capital management The Group’s capital management policies aim to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Group's total capital is calculated as ‘owners’ equity’ as shown in the consolidated balance sheet.
