Industry information of the company during the reporting period The company shall comply with the disclosure requirements of power-related industries in the Guideline No.3 for Self-regulation of Listed Companies of Shenzhen Stock Exchange-Industry Information Disclosure. According to the statistics of the national power industry in 2022 published by the National Energy Administration, the electricity consumption of the whole society in China in 2022 was 8.64 trillion kWh, with a year-on-year increase of 3.6%. The electricity consumption of the primary industry was 114.6 billion kWh, with a year-on-year increase of 10.4%; The electricity consumption of the secondary industry was 5.7 trillion kWh, with a year-on-year increase of 1.2%; The electricity consumption of the tertiary industry was 1.49 trillion kWh, with a year-on-year increase of 4.4%; The domestic electricity consumption of urban and rural residents was 1.34 trillion kWh, with a year-on-year increase of 13.8%. In terms of power supply, with the goal of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" and the development requirements of building a new power system, new energy sources such as wind power and solar power have entered the "fast lane" of high-quality development, and the installed capacity has increased year by year in the total installed capacity of power generation in China, with remarkable results of green and low-carbon transformation in the power industry. By the end of 2022, the cumulative installed power generation capacity in China was about 2.56 billion kilowatts, with a year-on-year increase of 7.8%, in which the installed capacity of wind power is about 370 million kilowatts, with a year-on-year increase of 11.2%; The installed power generation capacity of solar power is about 390 million kilowatts, with a year-on-year increase of 28.1%; The installed capacity of coal-fired power is about 1.121 billion kilowatts, with a year-on-year increase of 1%, and the power generation of coal-fired power is up 0.7% year-on-year, accounting for 58.4% of the total power generation. Combined with the installed capacity and power generation, coal-fired power is still the most important power supply in China, and it is also the "ballast stone" to ensure the safe and stable supply of electricity in China. In 2022, the fuel price remains high, and the operation of thermal power enterprises is facing great challenges. According to the transaction results announced by Guangdong Power Exchange Center in December 2022, the average transaction price of bilateral negotiation transactions, annual listing transactions and annual centralized competition transactions in the province in 2023 increased year on year, with the average transaction price of bilateral negotiation being RMB 553.88/thousand kWh, which was RMB 56.84/thousand kWh higher than the previous year. At the same time, the Energy Bureau of Guangdong Province and the South China Energy Regulatory Office of Nation Energy Administration jointly issued the Notice on Matters Related to Electricity Market Transactions in 2023, proposing that when the price fluctuation of primary energy exceeds a certain range, the primary energy price fluctuation transmission mechanism shall be started according to the market operation to promote the transmission of cost pressure to the downstream. In addition, in the first half of 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission successively issued the Notice on Further Improving the Price Formation Mechanism of the Coal Market and related documents to strengthen the regulation and supervision of the coal market price, guide the coal price within a reasonable range, promote the coordinated development of coal and electricity upstream and downstream, and ensure the safe and stable supply of energy. To sum up, the increase of transaction price in the medium and long-term market is conducive to the reasonable diversion of the upstream coal price cost pressure to the downstream. Meanwhile, if the coal price can fall back to a reasonable range under the guidance of national policies, the company's operating pressure will be released to a certain extent, and its profit outlook will be improved. 13 2022 Annual Report II.Main Business the Company is Engaged in During the Report Period The company shall comply with the disclosure requirements of power-related industries in the Guideline No.3 for Self-regulation of Listed Companies of Shenzhen Stock Exchange-Industry Information Disclosure.

Mainly because the coal price remained high this year, and the investment income in Shanxi energy increased year on year. X.Structured vehicle controlled by the Company □ Applicable √ Not applicable 39 2022 Annual Report XI. Prospect for future development of the Company (I)The Development Trend of the Industry In January 2023, the Blue Book of New Power System Development (Draft for Comment) issued by the National Energy Administration pointed out that China would promote new energy as the main resource for incremental power generation. By 2030, the installed capacity will account for more than 40%, and the power generation will account for more than 20%. However, China's coal-based energy resource endowment determines that coal will still occupy a high proportion in the energy supply structure for a long time. As one of the clean and efficient utilization ways of coal, coal-fired power is still the basic guarantee power supply in the power system. Therefore, before 2030, the installed capacity and power generation of coal-fired power will still increase moderately, and the layout will be optimized around the large-scale new energy base, main load center and important nodes of the power grid. Coal-fired generating units gradually transform into the clean and low-carbon type through flexibility transformation and energy-saving and emission-reduction transformation, which further enhances the regulation ability, better support the "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" strategy and the stable operation of the power system. Meanwhile, the clean and efficient gas generator set is conducive to enhancing the peak-shaving capacity and safety reliability of the new power system with new energy as the main body, and to building a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system, with certain development space. To sum up, in the future, the thermal power industry will mainly rely on developing coal power with large capacity, high parameters, advanced energy-saving, and accelerating the development of gas power to optimize the power supply structure, promote the quality improvement and efficiency increase by enhancing the technical R&D strength, strive for high electricity quantity and price by active marketing, and reduce the cost by refined management. In addition, the company will adhere to the new development concept, continue to promote the optimization and adjustment of power supply structure, actively, steadily and orderly promote the completion and commissioning of new energy power generation projects, and contribute to building a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system. (II) Corporate development strategy In the future, it will focus on energy production and supply, with consideration of comprehensive energy services, centered by the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutralization. Based on Guangdong and targeted at the whole country, it will implement the "1+2+3+X" strategy- to build a first-class green low-carbon power listed company, coordinate safety and development, optimize and strengthen the coal power, gas power and biomass power generation business, and vigorously develop new energy, energy storage, hydrogen energy and land park development. It will fully promote the leap-forward development of new energy; Grasp the window phase of thermal power development and accelerate the development and construction of key projects; Explore the distribution of multi-energy joint supply project of "integration of source network, load and storage", promote the integrated development of "integration of wind, light and fire hydrogen storage", and build an ecological and civilized power generation enterprise. (III) Production and operation plans In 2023, the company's consolidated statement has a budget target value of 120.356 billion kilowatt hours of on- grid electricity, which is 11.77% higher than the actual on-grid power in 2022; The budgetary target value of the main business revenue is RMB 61.287 billion, and an increase of 9.071 billion yuan compared to the actual amount of main business operating revenue of RMB 52.216 billion; The annual planned investment budget of the parent company is RMB 6.275 billion, with a decrease of RMB 1.781 billion compared with the actual investment of RMB 8.056 billion in 2022. 40 2022 Annual Report (Note: The above operating plan does not represent the company's profit forecast for 2023, 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.) (IV)Possible risks and countermeasures 1. Safety production risks The increasingly frequent occurrence of extreme weather events has brought certain adverse effects to the normal production and operation of enterprises, and the company needs to further strengthen the defense work against natural disasters; Due to the long running years of some of the company's thermal power units, there are problems such as reduced efficiency level, aging equipment, and decline in operation safety and reliability; In addition, some contractors may have insufficient safety awareness and safety management may not in place. Countermeasures: First, pay close attention to rain and flood conditions, and do well in flood prevention and typhoon prevention in a strict and down-to-earth manner; The second is to strengthen equipment maintenance and operation management, seriously carry out maintenance work, operation management and technical supervision, improve the equipment management system, do well in equipment defect elimination, and improve the reliability of unit equipment; The third is to strictly manage contractors, well managethe "threshold", resolutely root out illegal subcontracting and illegal subcontracting, encourage the evaluation activity of outstanding contractors, strengthen the safety education and training of contractors, and continuously improve the safety management of contractors. 2. Fuel cost risk Domestic coal production capacity continues to be released under the policy of ensuring supply and stable price, but seasonal and regional supply and demand tensions still exist, and coal prices remain high. At the same time, due to the intensification of geopolitical gaming in the international energy market, global coal and natural gas supply expectations are unclear, and the future trend of overseas fuel prices is increasingly uncertain. Fuel costs account for a large proportion of the company's main business costs, and fluctuations in fuel prices have a significant impact on the company's operating performance. If fuel prices remain high, the company's operating efficiency will continue to be under serious pressure. Countermeasures: First, the company shall optimize the fuel procurement, reduce costs through the "precision inventory" strategy, increase the mixing of economic coal, optimize the energy consumption of units, etc.; The second is to broaden coal procurement channels, comprehensively consider domestic trade coal and imported coal such as Russian coal, Australian coal and Mongolian coal according to the guidance of national policies, adhere to that the procurement principle of economic efficiency is first, and reduce fuel costs; The third is to track the price trend of natural gas in real time, optimize the power generation business strategy, generate more cost-effective electricity, and actively seek subsidies for gas and electricity from superior departments, strengthen safety production management and cost control, and strive to achieve a stable supply of gas and electricity. 3. Risk of power supply structure adjustment Under the background of the "3060" goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, the transition to low-carbon energy production and consumption has been accelerated. According to the requirements of the state to optimize the energy structure, the thermal power will gradually change from the main power supply to the basic power 41 2022 Annual Report supply of peak regulation and frequency regulation, and the installed capacity and power growth of new energy such as wind power and photovoltaic power will further squeeze the living space of coal-fired power units. As of the end of December 2022, the company's holding capacity of coal power accounts for 69.2%, that is a relatively high proportion, and the pressure of transformation of power to clean and low-carbon energyishigh. Countermeasures: The first is to steadily promote the transformation and upgrading of the power supply structure, strive to achieve greater breakthroughs in structural adjustment, accelerate the progress of key energy projects, and solidly promote the Daya Bay Integrated Energy Station, Zhaoqing Yongan Natural Gas Thermal Power Project, Xinjiang Hanhai Photovoltaic Project, and Yunfu Natural Gas Cogeneration Project, Yangjiang Qingzhou offshore wind power project, etc., to ensure that project investment and construction plans are completed on schedule. The second is to continue to enrich the reserve of new energy projects, actively explore new energy development space in other provinces and regions in China, and increase the development of new energy in Xinjiang, Guizhou, Hebei, Qinghai, Guangxi and other regions. The third is to deeply explore the distributed energy supply of cold, heat, electricity and gas, as well as the construction of infrastructure such as power exchange, charging piles and energy storage, and the development and utilization of hydrogen energy. The fourth is to continuously optimize carbon asset management, make full use of internal and external resources, strengthen carbon emission data management and carbon asset management, promote energy conservation and carbon reduction, and realize the value-added and income of carbon assets.

The other information comprises all of the information included in 2022 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 Audit and Compliance 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 and Compliance Committee is responsible for overseeing Guangdong Electric Power’s financial reporting process. 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. 118 PwC ZT Shen Zi (2023) No. 10033 (Page 7 of 8) Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (Cont’d) 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 (including the disclosures), structure and content of the financial statements, 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 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 and Compliance 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. 119 PwC ZT Shen Zi (2023) No. 10033 (Page 8 of 8) Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (Cont’d) We also provide the Audit and Compliance 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 and Compliance 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.

The Company’s parent company is Guangdong Energy Group Co., Ltd. (“GEGC”) 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 2022, the total share capital of the Company was RMB 5,250,283,986 with face 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 projects in Guangdong Province, Yunnan Province, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Hunan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of 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). These financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on 30 March 2023. 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates The Group determines specific accounting policies and accounting estimates based on the characteristics of production and operation, which are mainly reflected in the measurement of expected credit losses (“ECL”) of receivables and contract assets (Note 2(9)), costing of inventory (Note 2(10)), investment properties, depreciation of fixed asset and right-of-use assets and amortisation of intangible assets (Notes 2(12), 2(13), 2(25) and 2(16)), impairment of long- term assets (Note 2(18)), timing of revenue recognition (Note 2(22)), deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities (Note 2(24)), etc. Details of the Group’s critical judgements, critical accounting estimates and key assumptions used in determining significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 2(29). 135 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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 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 (hereinafter 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 (“the CSRC”). As at 31 December 2022, the Group’s net current liabilities amounted to RMB 16,192 million, capital commitments amounted to RMB 27,199 million, among which the amount expected to be settled within one year was RMB 14,199 million. Therefore, the Group is to some extent exposed to liquidity risk. The reasons for net current liabilities were that a portion of the Group’s capital expenditure was backed by short-term borrowings and the significant rise of coal prices from 2021 to 2022. In view of the above, the Board of Directors of the Company has carefully considered the Group's future working capital, operating conditions and available financing sources when assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The Group has formulated the following plans and measures to reduce pressure of working capital and improve its financial position: (i) The Group maintains good relations of long-term cooperation with financial institutions (including the Company’s associate Guangdong Energy Group Finance Co., Ltd. (“Energy Group Finance Company”) and Guangdong Energy Finance Leasing Company (“Energy Finance Leasing Company”)) in order to obtain sufficient financing credit lines. As at 31 December 2022, the Group’s available credit line and approved debt insurance from financial institutions amounted to approximately RMB 76,698 million, with RMB 26,823 million from Energy Group Finance Company, RMB 14,105 million from Energy Finance Leasing Company, RMB 24,770 million from other commercial banks, RMB 2,000 million of corporate debentures approved for issuance by the CSRC and RMB 9,000 million of quota of medium-term notes financing obtained after the registration in the Interbank Market in China. Among the Group’s available credit line from financial institutions, approximately RMB 3,016 million is due before 31 December 2023. In view of the Group’s business operation as well as good and long-term cooperative relationships with financial institutions, management expected the credit line due before 31 December 2023 could be renewed for another 12 months. (ii) The Group will actively seek more favourable long-term electricity price and will strive to effectively reduce coal procurement costs by giving full play to its advantages in scale. Management believes that based on the actual trend of coal and electricity prices as at the issue date of the financial statements and the expected gradual implementation of relevant national regulatory policies, the coal procurement situation is expected to improve to a certain extent and the Group's cash flows from operating activities in 2023 are expected to improve significantly. 136 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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) The Board of Directors of the Company has reviewed the Group's cash flow forecasting for 2023 prepared by management. The cash flow forecasting is based on management's judgements and assumptions regarding a number of future events and is subject to the successful completion of a series of plans and measures planned and being implemented by the Group, including: (1) The Group will continuously monitor the financial indicators of its subsidiaries and improve the operation and financing structure of its subsidiaries through various measures, including but not limited to providing financing support and capital injection, so that the subsidiaries within the Group can continue to meet the requirements of the borrowing agreements in foreseeable future; (2) the Group can continue to meet the conditions of existing bank financing and obtain necessary borrowing renewals and new borrowings, including financing from Energy Group Finance Company and Energy Finance Leasing Company, and it can successfully conduct external financing by issuing corporate debentures, medium-term notes, and ultra-short-term financing bonds when necessary; and (3) the Group will obtain more favourable long-term electricity price and effective adoption to lower fuel procurement costs so as to improve operating cash flows. Taking into full consideration of the above measures being implemented or planned by the Group, management believes that the Group can obtain sufficient funds to pay its operating expenses, capital commitment within one year and repay its matured debt obligations within the next 12 months from 31 December 2022. Therefore, management believes that it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis. (2) Statement of compliance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises The financial statements of the Group and the Company for the year ended 31 December 2022 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 Group and the Company as at 31 December 2022 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 Company’s recording currency is Renminbi (RMB). 137 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (5) Business combinations (a) Business combinations involving enterprises under common control The consideration paid and net assets obtained by the Group in a business combination are measured at the carrying amount. If the acquiree is acquired from a third party by the ultimate controlling party in a prior year, the consideration paid and net assets obtained by the Group are measured based on the carrying amounts of the acquiree’s assets and liabilities (including the goodwill arising from the acquisition of the acquiree by the ultimate controlling party) presented in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party. 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 For business combinations involving enterprises not under common control, the Group adopts concentration test to judge whether the acquired production and operation activities or asset groups constitute a business. If the concentration test is passed, the Group conducts accounting treatment according to the relevant asset purchase principle; if the concentration test fails, the Group will further judge whether it constitutes a business based on whether the relevant groups obtained in the merger have at least one input and one substantive processing process, and the combination of the two has a significant contribution to the output capacity. The cost of combination and identifiable net assets obtained by the Group in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Where the cost of the combination exceeds the Group’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 Group’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. (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. 138 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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 (Cont'd) 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 or loss attributable to minority interests and total comprehensive income attributable to minority interests, and presented separately in the consolidated financial statements under shareholders’ equity, net profit and total comprehensive income respectively. When the amount of loss for the current period attributable to the minority shareholders of a subsidiary exceeds the minority shareholders’ portion of the opening balance of owners’ equity of the subsidiary, the excess is allocated against the balance of minority interests. 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 attributable 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 attributable 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. 140 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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 instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. (a) Financial assets (i) Classification and measurement Based on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, financial assets are classified as: (1) financial assets at amortised cost; (2) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income; (3) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. At initial recognition, the financial assets are measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are incremental and directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets are included in the initially recognised amounts, except for the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the related transaction costs of which are expensed in profit or loss for the current period. Accounts receivables arising from sale of products or rendering of services (excluding or without regard to significant financing components) are initially recognised at the consideration that is entitled to be received by the Group as expected. Debt instruments The debt instruments held by the Group refer to the instruments that meet the definition of financial liabilities from the perspective of the issuer, and are measured in the following categories: Measured at amortised cost: The objective of the Group’s business model is to hold the financial assets to collect the contractual cash flows, and the contractual cash flow characteristics are consistent with a basic lending arrangement, which gives rise on specified dates to the contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The interest income of such financial assets is recognised using the effective interest method. Such financial assets mainly comprise cash at bank and on hand, notes receivables, accounts receivables, other receivables, and long-term receivables, etc. Long-term receivables that are due within one year (inclusive) as from the balance sheet date are included in the current portion of non-current assets. Equity instruments Investments in equity instruments, over which the Group has no control, joint control or significant influence, are measured at fair value through profit or loss under financial assets held for trading. In addition, at initial recognition, a portion of certain investments in equity instruments not held for trading are designated as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income under other investments in equity instruments. The relevant dividend income of such financial assets is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. 141 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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) (ii) Impairment The Group recognises the loss provision on the basis of the ECL for financial assets and contract assets measured at amortised cost. Giving consideration to reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the balance sheet date on past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions weighted by the probability of default, the Group recognises the ECL as the probability-weighted amount of the present value of the difference between the cash flows receivable from the contract and the cash flows expected to collect. For accounts receivables and contract assets arising from sale of goods and rendering of services in the ordinary course of operating activities, the Group recognises the lifetime ECL regardless of whether there exists a significant financing component. Except for the above accounts receivables and contract assets, at each balance sheet date, the ECL of financial instruments at different stages is measured respectively. 12-month ECL is recognised for financial instruments in Stage 1 which don’t have a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition; lifetime ECL is recognised for financial instruments in Stage 2 which have had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but are not deemed to be credit-impaired; and lifetime ECL is recognised for financial instruments in Stage 3 that are credit- impaired. For the financial instruments with low credit risk as at the balance sheet date, the Group assumes there is no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. The Group determines them as the financial instruments in Stage 1 and recognises the 12-month ECL. For the financial instruments in Stage 1 and Stage 2, the interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the book balance (before net of ECL provision). For the financial instrument in Stage 3, the interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost (net of ECL provision). In case the ECL of an individually assessed financial asset cannot be evaluated with reasonable cost, the Group classifies the receivables into certain groups on the basis of shared risk characteristics, and calculates the ECL for each group respectively. Basis for determining groups and method for provision are as follows: 142 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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) (ii) Impairment (Cont’d) Group 1 of notes receivables Notes receivables Group 1 of accounts receivables Receivables from sale of electricity Group 2 of accounts receivables Receivables from related parties Group 3 of accounts receivables Receivables from sale of steam and others Group 1 of contract assets Receivables from related parties Group 2 of contract assets Other contract assets Receivables from business units, reserves receivable and Group 1 of other receivables other receivables For accounts receivables that are classified into groups, the Group prepares a comparison table of the overdue days of receivables and the lifetime ECL rate, and calculates ECL with reference to the historical credit loss experience, the current situation and the forecast of future economic conditions. For other receivables that are classified into groups, the Group calculates the ECL with reference to historical credit loss experience, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions, and based on the exposure at default and the 12-month or lifetime ECL rates. The Group recognises the loss provision made or reversed into profit or loss for the current period. 143 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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) Derecognition A financial asset is derecognised when one of the following criteria is satisfied: (i) the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset are expired, (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. When a financial asset is derecognised, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received as well as the cumulative changes in fair value that are previously recognised directly in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss for the current period, except for those measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the difference aforementioned is recognised in retained earnings instead. (b) Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition. Financial liabilities of the Group mainly comprise financial liabilities at amortised cost, including notes payables, accounts payables, other payables, borrowings and debentures payable, etc. Such financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities with maturities of no more than one year (inclusive) are presented as current liabilities, and those with maturities of over one year but due within one year (inclusive) as from the balance sheet date are presented as current portion of non-current liabilities; and others are presented as non-current liabilities. 144 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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 (Cont’d) 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) Inventories (a) Classification Inventories mainly comprise fuel and spare parts, and are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. (b) Valuation 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 amount 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 sale and related taxes. (d) The Group adopts the perpetual inventory system. (e) Amortisation methods of low-value consumables Low value consumables are amortised in full amount. 145 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (11) 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 an investee over which the Group has significant influence on its financial and operating policy decisions. Investments in subsidiaries are presented in the Company’s financial statements using the cost method, and are adjusted to the equity method when preparing the consolidated financial statements. Investments in joint ventures and associates are accounted for using the equity method. (a) Determination of investment cost For long-term equity investments acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control, the investment cost shall be the absorbing party’s share of the carrying amount of owners’ equity of the party being absorbed in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party at the combination date; for long-term equity investments acquired through a business combination involving enterprises not under common control, the investment cost shall be the combination cost. For long-term equity investments acquired not through a business combination: for long-term equity investments acquired by payment in cash, the initial investment cost shall be the purchase price actually paid; for long-term equity investments acquired by issuing equity securities, the initial investment cost shall be the fair value of the equity securities issued. (b) Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method are measured at initial investment cost. Cash dividend or profit distribution declared by the investees is recognised as investment income in profit or loss for the current period. 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 amount of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the investee is 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 changes in the investee’s owners’ 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 amount 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 investee. 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 146 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] impairment losses are not eliminated. 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (11) Long-term equity investments (Cont’d) (c) Basis for determining existence of control, joint control or significant influence over investees Control is the power over investees that can bring variable returns through involvement in related activities of investees and the ability to influence the returns by using such power over investees. Joint control is the 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(18)). (12) 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 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 (amortisation) rates Buildings 20 to 40 years 0% to 5% 2.38% to 4.75% Land use rights 60 years 0% 1.67% The investment property’s estimated useful life, estimated net residual value and depreciation (amortisation) method applied are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end. When an investment property is transferred to owner-occupied property, it is reclassified to fixed asset and intangible assets with the carrying amounts determined at the carrying amounts of the investment property at the date of the transfer. 147 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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) Investment properties (Cont’d) 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 sale, 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. The carrying amount of an investment property is reduced to the recoverable amount if the recoverable amount is below the carrying amount (Note 2(18)). (13) 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 into 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 entity are recognised based on the evaluated amounts 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 for fixed assets Except for fixed assets purchased using work safety funds (Note 2 (26)), other fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the assets to their estimated net residual values over their estimated 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 net residual values expressed as a percentage of cost and the annual depreciation rates of fixed assets are as follows: Estimated useful Estimated net lives residual values Annual depreciation rates Buildings 10 to 50 years 0% to 5% 1.90% to 9.50% Power generation equipment 5 to 30 years 0% to 5% 3.17% to 20.00% Motor vehicles 5 to 10 years 0% to 5% 9.50% 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. 148 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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) Fixed assets (Cont’d) (c) The carrying amounts of fixed assets are reduced to the recoverable amounts when the recoverable amounts are below their carrying amounts (Note 2(18)). (d) Disposals 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. (14) 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 construction in progress ready for its intended use. Construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when the asset is ready for its 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(18)). (15) 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. For special borrowings for the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets, the capitalised amount of the special borrowings 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 investment. 149 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (15) Borrowing costs (Cont'd) 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. (16) Intangible assets Intangible assets include land use rights, sea use rights and software, and are measured at cost. The intangible assets contributed by the state-owned shareholders upon the reorganisation of the Group into a corporation and favourable contract are recognised based on the evaluated 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. Allotted land with undetermined useful lives is not amortised. Sea use rights are amortised on the straight-line basis over their approved use period of 25 to 50 years. (b) Other intangible assets Intangible assets other than land use rights and sea use rights are amortised on a straight-line- basis over the expected useful lives of 2 to 60 years. (c) 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. 150 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (16) Intangible assets (Cont’d) (d) Research and development The expenditure on an internal research and development project is classified into expenditure on the research phase and expenditure on the development phase based on its nature and whether there is material uncertainty that the research and development activities can form an intangible asset at the end of the project. Expenditure on the research phase is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure on the development phase is capitalised only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: management intends to complete the intangible asset, and use or sell it; it can be demonstrated how the intangible asset will generate economic benefits: products with the application of intangible assets or the intangible assets themselves can prove to have market value, intangible assets for internal use application can prove to be of usefulness; there are adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development phase can be reliably measured. Other development expenditures that do not meet the conditions above are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs previously recognised as expenses are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Capitalised expenditure on the development phase is presented as development costs in the balance sheet and transferred to intangible assets at the date that the asset is ready for its intended use. (e) Impairment of intangible assets The carrying amount of intangible assets is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is below the carrying amount (Note 2(18)). (17) Long-term prepaid expenses Long-term prepaid expenses include the expenditure for improvements to right-of-use assets, 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. 151 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (18) Impairment of long-term assets Fixed assets, construction in progress, right-of-use assets, 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 the assets 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 of an asset is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from it. 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 amount of goodwill is allocated to the related asset groups 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. (19) 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 and short-term paid absences, 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; non-planned expenses provided to retired employees fall 152 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] under defined benefit plans. 153 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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) 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 Group purchases supplementary pensions for employees, and pays insurance premium according to the policies of the parent company, 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. Defined benefit plan For defined benefit plan, the Group uses the projected unit credit method and includes the obligation of the defined benefit plan 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 period. The cost of employee benefits arising from defined benefit plans are classified into the following parts: — service cost (including current service cost as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements); — net interest expenses on net liabilities of the defined benefit plan (including interest expenses for obligations of the defined benefit plan); and — Changes arising from remeasurement on net liabilities of defined benefit plans. Service cost and net interest expenses on net liabilities of defined benefit plans are included in profit or loss for the current period. Changes arising from remeasurement on net liabilities of defined benefit plans (including actuarial gains or losses) are included in other comprehensive income. 154 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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) Employee benefits (Cont'd) (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 employee benefits payable. (20) Dividend distribution Cash dividends are recognised as liabilities in the period in which the dividends are approved by the shareholders’ meeting. (21) Provisions Provisions for product warranties 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. 155 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] Loss provision for financial guarantee contracts which are recognised on the basis of ECL are presented as provisions. The provisions expected to be settled within one year since the balance sheet date are classified as current liabilities. 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (22) Revenue recognition The Group recognises revenue at the amount of the consideration which the Group expects to be entitled to receive when the customer obtains control over relevant goods or services. (a) Revenue from sale of electricity and heat energy Revenue is recognised when electricity and heat energy are supplied to grid companies or customers, and they obtain control over electricity. (b) Revenue from sale of by-products Revenue from the sale 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, the resource utilisation enterprise confirms receipt and obtains control over the by-products. (c) Provision of electric power transaction service For the electric power transaction service provided by the Group to external parties, upon the receipt of the service, revenue is recognised based on the difference between the purchase price and the selling price of electricity. (d) Rendering of services The Group provides maintenance services to external parties. The related revenue is recognised based on the stage of completion within a certain period, which is determined based on proportion of costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs. On the balance sheet date, the Group re- estimates the stage of completion to reflect the actual status of contract fulfilment. When the Group recognises revenue based on the stage of completion, the amount with unconditional collection right obtained by the Group is recognised as accounts receivables, and the rest is recognised as contract assets. Meanwhile, loss provisions for accounts receivables and contract assets are recognised on the basis of ECL (Note 2(9)). If the contract price received or receivable exceeds the amount for the completed service, the excess portion will be recognised as contract liabilities. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis. Contract costs include contract fulfilment costs and contract acquisition costs. Costs incurred for provision of maintenance services are recognised as contract fulfilment costs, which is recognised as the cost of sale of main operations based on the stage of completion when recognising revenue. 156 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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) Government grants Government grants refer to the monetary or non-monetary assets obtained by the Group from the government, including tax return and financial subsidy, 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 reasonable and systemic basis over the useful lives of the assets. Government grants related to daily operation 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. For other government grants related to income that compensate the future costs, expenses or losses are recorded as deferred income and deducted against related costs in reporting the related costs, expenses or losses; government grants related to income that compensate the incurred costs, expenses or losses are deducted against related costs. The Group applies the presentation method consistently to the similar government grants in the financial statements. Government grants that are related to ordinary activities are included in operating profit, otherwise, they are recorded in non-operating income or expenses. 157 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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) 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 a temporary difference arising 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 differences, and it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed 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 taxpayer within the Group and the same taxation authority; and, that taxpayer within the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities. 158 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (25) Leases A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group as the lessee At the lease commencement date, the Group recognises the right-of-use asset and measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. Lease payments include fixed payments, the exercise price of a purchase option or termination penalty if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option etc. Variable lease payments in proportion to sales are excluded from lease payments and recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Lease liabilities that are due within one year (inclusive) as from the balance sheet date are included in the current portion of non-current liabilities. Right-of-use assets of the Group comprise leased land use rights, buildings, machinery and equipment, motor vehicles, etc. Right-of-use assets are measured initially at cost which comprises the amount of the initial measurement of lease liabilities, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs, less any lease incentives received. If there is reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership of the underlying asset by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over its remaining useful life; otherwise, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its remaining useful life. The carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is below the carrying amount. For short-term leases with a term of 12 months or less and leases of an individual asset (when new) of low value, the Group chooses to include the lease payments in the cost of the underlying assets or in the profit or loss for the current period on a straight-line basis over the lease term, instead of recognising right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Group accounts for a lease modification as a separate lease if both: (1) the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; (2) the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the contract. For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Group redetermines the lease term at the effective date of the lease modification, and remeasures the lease liability by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate, except that the contract changes directly resulting from situations prescribed by the Ministry of Finance that can be used the simplified method. For a lease modification which decreases the scope of the lease or shortens the lease term, the Group decreases the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, and recognises in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease. For other lease modifications which lead to the remeasurement of lease liabilities, the Group correspondingly adjusts the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset. 159 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 2 Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d) (25) Leases (Cont'd) The Group as the lessor A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. (a) Operating leases Where the Group leases out self-owned buildings and land use rights under operating leases, rental income therefrom is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable rental that is linked to a certain percentage of sales is recognised in rental income as incurred. For the rent concessions agreed on existing lease contracts, the Group applies the practical expedient to account for the concessions as variable lease payments and record the concessions in profit or loss during the waiving period when the Group selects the simplified method. Except that the above contract changes prescribed by the Ministry of Finance that can be used the simplified method, for a lease modification, the Group accounts for it as a new lease from the effective date of the modification, and considers any lease payments received in advance and receivable relating to the lease before modification as receivables of the new lease. (26) Work safety funds Subsidiaries of the Group engaged in power generation business shall appropriate work safety funds based on the actual revenue in the previous year and at the following percentages: 3% for the proportion of revenue up to RMB 10 million in the previous year; 1.5% for the proportion of revenue between RMB 10 million and RMB 100 million in the previous year; 1% for the proportion of revenue between RMB 100 million and RMB 1,000 million in the previous year; 0.8% for the proportion of revenue between RMB 1,000 million and RMB 5,000 million in the previous year; 0.6% for the proportion of revenue between RMB 5,000 million and RMB 10,000 million in the previous year; 0.2% for the proportion of revenue exceeding RMB 10,000 million in the previous year. Work safety funds are mainly used for the improvement, modification and maintenance of safety protection facilities, as well as safety production inspection, evaluation, consultation, standardised construction, etc. Work safety funds are recognised in profit or loss as the "Special reserve" item for the current period when appropriated. When using the special reserve, if the expenditures are expenses in nature, the expenses incurred are offset against the special reserve directly when incurred. If the expenditures are capital expenditures, when projects are completed and transferred to fixed assets, the special reserve should be offset against the cost of fixed assets, and a corresponding accumulated depreciation is recognised. Such fixed assets are not depreciated in subsequent periods. 160 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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) Carbon emission use rights Categorised as an Enterprise with High Emissions, the Group needs to fulfil its emission reduction obligations and recognise carbon emission related assets and expenditures per relevant regulations: (i) The present obligations incurred by the Group in fulfilling its emission reduction obligations are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required and recognised as other payables and non-operating expenses. (ii) The Group purchases carbon emission allowances and recognises related carbon emission rights assets based on the cost paid or payable at the acquisition date, and the balance is included in other current assets; the Group makes no accounting treatment for carbon emission allowances purchased at nil consideration; (iii) The Group uses the purchased carbon emission allowances to fulfil its emission reduction obligations and recognises the book balance of the allowances used as a reduction of carbon emission rights assets; the Group makes no accounting treatment if it uses carbon emission allowances purchased at nil consideration to fulfil its obligations; (iv) The Group sells carbon emission allowances and recognises related non-operating income or non-operating expenses based on the difference between the amount received or receivable at the date of sale and the book balance of the allowances sold. (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: (a) the component is able to earn revenue and incur expenses from its ordinary activities; (b) 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 (c) 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. 161 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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 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. (a) Critical judgements in applying the accounting policies (i) Classification of financial assets Significant judgements made by the Group in the classification of financial assets include analysis on business models and contractual cash flow characteristics. The Group determines the business model for financial asset management at the level of different groups, and factors to be considered include the methods of evaluation on financial asset performance and reporting of financial asset performance to key management personnel, risks affecting financial asset performance and management methods for such risks, the ways in which related business management personnel are remunerated, etc. When assessing whether contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets are consistent with basic lending arrangement, key judgements made by the Group include: the possibility of changes in timing or amount of the principal during the duration due to reasons such as early repayment; whether interest only include time value of money, credit risks, other basic lending risks and considerations for costs and profits. For example, whether the amount of prepayment only reflects the principal outstanding and the interest based on the principal outstanding, as well as the reasonable compensation due to the early termination of the contract. (ii) Determination of significant increase in credit risk When the Group classifies financial instruments into different stages, its criteria for significant increase in credit risk and credit-impaired are as follows: Judgement of the Group for significant increase in credit risk is mainly based on whether one or more of the following indicators changed significantly: business environment of the debtor, internal and external credit rating, significant changes in actual or expected operating results, significant decrease in value of collateral or credit rate of guarantor, etc. Judgement of the Group on the occurred credit impairment is mainly based on whether it meets one or more of the following conditions: the debtor is suffering significant financial difficulties, engaged in other debt restructuring, or it is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy, etc. 162 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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) (a) Critical judgements in applying the accounting policies (Cont’d) (iii) Timing of revenue recognition With regard to sale of electricity to grid companies, the Group supplies electricity to grid companies in accordance with the contract. Thereafter, the grid companies have the right to sell electricity and the discretion in pricing, and take the risks of any price fluctuation or loss of the products. The Group believes that the grid companies obtain control over electric power upon the receiving of the electric power. Therefore, revenue is recognised upon the receiving of the electric power of grid companies. (b) Critical accounting estimates and key assumptions 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: (i) Assessment on impairment of fixed assets A fixed asset is tested for impairment by the Group if there is any indication that it may be impaired at the balance sheet date by calculating and comparing the recoverable amount of the fixed asset with its carrying amount to check the difference. 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 asset 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. The determination of the recoverable amount involves accounting estimates. When assessing whether the above assets are impaired, management mainly evaluates and analyses: (i) whether events affecting asset impairment occurred; (ii) whether the present value of expected cash flows arising from the continuing use or disposals of the asset is lower than its carrying amount; and (iii) whether the significant assumptions used in the calculation of the present value of the estimated cash flows are appropriate. The calculation of the present value of future cash flows involves management’s significant estimates and judgements, including the discount rate, the growth rate of the estimated on-grid electricity price, the growth rate of the estimated electricity sale and the varability rate of the estimated price of coal used in power generation. Changes in these assumptions 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. 163 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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) Critical accounting estimates and key assumptions (Cont’d) (ii) Measurement of ECL The Group calculates ECL through exposure at default and ECL rates, and determines the ECL rates based on probability of default and loss given default. In determining the ECL rates, the Group uses data such as internal historical credit loss experience, etc., and adjusts historical data based on current conditions and forward-looking information. When considering forward-looking information, the Group considered different macroeconomic scenarios. Significant macroeconomic assumptions and parameters related to the estimation of ECL include the risk of economic downturn, external market environment, technological environment, changes in customer conditions, Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) and Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), etc. The Group regularly monitors and reviews assumptions and parameters related to the calculation of ECL. (iii) Income taxes and deferred 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 tax in each of these jurisdictions. Where the final tax outcomes of these matters are different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. As stated in Note 3(2), some subsidiaries of the Group are high-tech enterprises. The high-tech enterprise certificate is effective for three years. Upon expiration, application for high-tech enterprise identification should be submitted again to the relevant government authorities. Based on the historical experience of reassessment for high-tech enterprise upon expiration and the actual condition of the subsidiaries, the Group considers that the subsidiaries are able to obtain the qualification for high-tech enterprises in future years, and therefore a preferential tax rate of 15% is used to calculate the corresponding deferred income tax. If some subsidiaries cannot obtain the qualification for high-tech enterprise upon expiration, then the subsidiaries are subject to a statutory tax rate of 25% for the calculation of the income tax, which further influences the recognised deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities and income tax expenses. 164 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (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) Critical accounting estimates and key assumptions (Cont’d) (iii) Income taxes and deferred income taxes (Cont’d) A deferred tax asset is recognised for the carryforward of unused deductible losses to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible losses can be utilised. Future taxable profits include taxable profits that can be achieved through normal operations and the increase in taxable profits due to the reversal of taxable temporary differences arising from previous period in future period. The Group determines the future taxable profits based on the future financial forecast, which requires management’s significant estimates and judgements, including the estimated electricity sale, estimated on-grid electricity price, the estimated price of coal used in power generation and other operating expenses. If there is any difference between the actual and the estimates, adjustment may be made to the carrying amount of deferred tax assets. (30) Significant changes in accounting policies The Ministry of Finance released the Circular on Issuing Interpretation No. 15 of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (Interpretation No. 15) in 2021 and Q&A on Implementation of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and other documents in 2022. The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 have been prepared by the Group and the Company in accordance with the above circulars and Q&A. The revisions have no significant impacts on the financial statements of the Group and the Company except for the following. (a) Fixed assets - Accounting treatment of sales proceeds before intended use The Group and the Company applied the Interpretation No. 15 related to fixed assets - accounting treatment of sales proceeds before intended use from 1 January 2022. For the sale proceeds before intended use occurred between 1 January 2021 and the implementation date, the Group applied the amendments retrospectively, and the comparative financial statements of 2021 have been restated accordingly. The above changes in accounting policies have no impact on the balance sheet as of 1 January 2021. The Company had no sale proceeds before intended use occurred between 1 January 2021 and the implementation date, and the above changes in accounting policies have no impact on the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021. 165 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.

The Group tested the recoverable amount of the asset groups of 5# and 6# generator units that had been shut down, and made provision for impairment accordingly. At the end of 2019, a provision for impairment of the related asset group of 5# generator unit amounting to RMB 317,686,700 and a provision for impairment of the related asset group of 6# generator unit amounting to RMB 251,426,700 were made. In 2022, Yunhua Power partly disposed of the related assets of 5# and 6# generator units that had been shut down, the accumulated provision for impairment written off on such disposals amounted to RMB 164,847,347, and the balance of provision for impairment amounted to RMB 373,916,608. Note 2 In 2020, Bohe Energy obtained approval from Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Committee. As the alternative capacity of some generator units could not be approved, management expected that the alternative capacity of these units would not be available for subsequent project construction or sale. Therefore, a provision of RMB 208,000,000 for impairment of fixed assets was made to the capitalised acquisition cost of the alternative capacity of these generator units. Note 3 Due to the fierce competition in the hydroelectric power market in Yunnan Province, Lincang Energy, a subsidiary of the Group, suffered from continuous operating loss. In previous years, the Group had made a provision of RMB 200,601,657 for the impairment of fixed assets for the relevant asset groups of generator units of Lincang Energy. Note 4 In 2022, the asset group of the special railway line docking station for transferring coal for boiler combustion in Shaoguan Power Plant was expected to be unable to be used for future operation because of the gradual decline of railway coal transport capacity. Therefore, a provision of RMB 75,133,692 for impairment of this asset group was made in 2022. 192 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.

Management evaluated the recoverable value of this part of the damaged assets and made a provision for impairment amounting to RMB 80,459,184 according to the evaluation results. (iv) Impairment of related asset groups of certain subsidiaries that have suffered continuous operating loss in recent years In recent years, certain subsidiaries of the Group suffered continuous operating loss and indications of impairment of related asset groups were observed. Taking into consideration risks that may exist in the future, such as the instability of electricity demand and price of coal for power generation, macro economy and other factors, the Group continuously assessed the impairment of the above-mentioned subsidiaries’ power generation asset groups (mainly including fixed assets) in 2022 (refer to Note 2(29)(b)(i) for the assessment method and accounting estimtates involved). The assessment results indicated that the estimated recoverable amounts of the above asset groups were higher than their carrying amounts. Therefore, management considered that no provision for impairment should be made. (iv) Fixed assets with pending certificates of ownership: Reasons for not obtaining certificates Carrying amount of ownership Buildings 2,121,250,891 Awaiting government approval As at 31 December 2022, after consulting the Group’s legal consultant, management believed that there were no substantial legal obstacles in obtaining the certificates and no material adverse impact on normal operation of the Group would occur.

(a) According to the Group’s regulations for early retirement of employees, the employees whose early retirement requests are approved by the Group could have early retirement before statutory retirement age. Employees can obtain salary on a monthly basis by a certain ratio of the original salary until they reach the statutory retirement age. Management expects the termination benefits to be paid in the future are determined by the present value of cash flow, when accrued the above termination benefits. As at 31 December 2022, the Group calculated the expected expense for each employee eligible for early retirement in each year before the statutory retirement age in accordance with the related regulations for early retirement, taking into account local salary growth rate, and estimated the present value of future termination benefits by treasury bond interest rate of 3.22% (2021: 3.57%) of the same period. As at 31 December 2022, the Group accrued termination benefits of RMB 366,776,366 (31 December 2021: RMB 343,077,437) and recognised them in long-term employee benefits payable. The actual termination benefits due within one year totalling RMB 67,170,982 (31 December 2021: RMB 62,450,865) were recognised in employee benefits payable. (b) In accordance with the FAQ on Social Management of Retired Employees in State-owned Enterprises (Guo Zi Ting Fa Gai Ge [2020] No. 36) issued by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the Group made a one-time provision for the expected payments to retired employees eligible for the Group’s special retirement pensions in 2020, and made the payment on a monthly basis. The expected present values of cash flows of the Group’s special retirement pensions during the expected remaining life of the retired employees are recognised as long-term employee benefits payable and recorded in profit or loss for the current period. The Group’s special retirement pensions mainly include retirement subsidies, military transfer subsidies and living allowances for retired primary and secondary school teachers. As at 31 December 2022, the Group calculated the expected special retirement pensions each year during retirees’ expected remaining life, and estimated the present value of special retirement pensions in the future by treasury bond interest rate of 3.22% (2021: 3.57%) of the same period. As at 31 December 2022, the Group accrued defined benefit plans of RMB 91,612,969 and recognised them in long-term employee benefits payable (31 December 2021: RMB 100,097,967). The actual defined benefit plans due within one year totalling RMB 8,241,541 are recognised in employee benefits payable (31 December 2021: RMB 8,400,995). 221 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not reflect the actual changes in the obligations of the defined benefit plan because it is unlikely that changes in one assumption would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. 222 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.

The expected present values of cash flows that shall be paid for medical insurance for the remaining contribution years of retired employees are recognised as long-term employee benefits payable and recorded in profit or loss for the current period. As at 31 December 2022, the balance of the Group’s other long-term employee benefits payable was mainly the additional payment of medical insurance made for retired employees. The Group calculated the expected expenses for each year from the end of the current year to regulated contribution years based on the local monthly average salary of the year, and estimated the present value of cash expenses made by retired employees for medical insurance in the future, with a treasury bond interest rate of 3.22% (2021: 3.57%) as discount rate. As at 31 December 2022, the Group accrued other long-term employee benefits payable of RMB 61,903,987 (31 December 2021: RMB 55,536,676), with actual payment of other long-term employee benefits payable due within one year of RMB 15,615,530 (31 December 2021: RMB 12,379,958) recognised in employee benefits payable.

As at 31 December 2022, Yangjiang Wind Power borrowed pledged loan of RMB 2,000,000,000 from NDB, and the interest payable was RMB 10,734,003. The above Project Loan was transferred to the provincial government by the Ministry of Finance under the country’s authorisation according to the same loan conditions, then transferred to GEGC by the Department of Finance of Guangdong Province under the provincial government’s authorisation, and finally transferred to Yangjiang Wind Power by GEGC. The above Project Loan was actually provided in entrusted payment. The cash would not flow through the bank accounts of the Ministry of Finance, Department of Finance of Guangdong Province and GEGC, and Yangjiang Wind Power, the actual debtor of the Project Loan, directly withdrew and repaid the loan through its account of NDB. The Project Loan was guaranteed by the Company for GEGC, and actually the Company provided guarantee for the Project Loan obtained by Yangjiang Wind Power from NDB. Therefore, after consulting the Company’s legal adviser, management considered that joint liability guarantee provided by the Group for GEGC would not constitute GEGC’s occupation of the Group’s funds. 264 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 10 Operating lease proceeds after the balance sheet date As the lessor, the Group’s undiscounted lease proceeds receivable after the balance sheet date are as follows: 31 December 2022 Within 1 year 35,164,085 1 to 2 years 24,668,139 2 to 3 years 12,110,192 3 to 4 years 8,301,891 4 to 5 years 2,442,113 Over 5 years 2,644,731 85,331,151 11 Financial instruments and risks The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (primarily including foreign exchange risk and interest rate 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 the Chinese mainland 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 USD. 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 consider taking proper measures to mitigate the foreign exchange risk as appropriate. During 2022 and 2021, the Group did not enter into any forward exchange contracts or currency swap contracts. 272 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 11 Financial instruments and risks (Cont’d) (1) Market risk (Cont’d) (a) Foreign exchange risk (Cont’d) As at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021, the carrying amounts in RMB equivalent of the Group’s financial liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are summarised below: 31 December 2022 USD Financial liabilities denominated in foreign currency - Long-term borrowings 41,927,519 Current portion of non-current liabilities 6,795,228 48,722,747 31 December 2021 USD Financial liabilities denominated in foreign currency - Long-term borrowings 44,506,676 Current portion of non-current liabilities 6,542,011 51,048,687 273 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 11 Financial instruments and risks (Cont’d) (1) Market risk (Cont’d) (a) Foreign exchange risk (Cont’d) As at 31 December 2022, if the RMB had strengthened/weakened by 10% against the USD while all other variables had been held constant, the Group’s net profit would have been approximately RMB 3,618,743 (31 December 2021: approximately RMB 3,812,098) higher/lower for various financial liabilities denominated in USD of subsidiaries, whose recording currency was RMB. As at 31 December 2022, as the Group’s financial assets and liabilities denominated in other foreign currencies were not significant, the changes in exchange rate of other foreign currencies had no significant influence on the Group. (b) Interest rate risk The Group’s interest rate risk mainly arises from interest bearing borrowings including bank borrowings, debentures payable, lease liabilities 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. The Group continuously monitors its interest rate position. 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 performance. The Group makes adjustments timely with reference to the latest market conditions and may enter into interest rate swap agreements to mitigate its exposure to interest rate risk. During 2022 and 2021, the Group did not enter into any interest rate swap agreements. The Group’s interest bearing borrowings were mainly bank borrowings, debentures payable, lease liabilities and long-term payables with fixed and floating interest rates, and the amounts of respective interest are as follows: 274 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.

As at 31 December 2022, 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 interest costs would have increased/decreased by approximately RMB 57,870,468 (31 December 2021: approximately RMB 40,345,191). 275 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 11 Financial instruments and risks (Cont’d) (2) Credit risk Credit risk of the Group mainly arises from cash at bank and on hand, notes receivables, accounts receivables, contract assets, other receivables and long-term receivables. The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets reflects its maximum credit exposure on the balance sheet date. The Group expects that there is no significant credit risk associated with cash at bank and on hand since they are deposited at Energy Group Finance Company, state-owned banks and other medium or large size listed banks with good reputation and high credit rating. The Group does not expect that there will be significant losses from non-performance by the counterparty. In addition, the Group has policies to limit the credit exposure on notes receivables, accounts receivables, contract assets, other receivables and long-term 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 (All amounts in RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated) [English translation for reference only] 12 Fair value estimates The level in which fair value measurement is categorised is determined by the level of the fair value hierarchy of the lowest level input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 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. (1) Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis As at 31 December 2022, 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 Investments in other equity instruments - Other equity instruments 2,105,271,054 - 952,800,000 3,058,071,054 As at 31 December 2021, 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 Investments in other equity instruments - Other equity instruments 547,728,682 - 2,684,300,000 3,232,028,682 279 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.

Sunshine Insurance was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 9 December 2022, therefore, there is a transfer between Level 3 and Level 1 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 techniques. The Group adopt such valuation models as cash flow discounting model and comparable company in the market to evaluate the fair value of the other equity instrument of Level 3 financial assets. The Group adopts average price to book value ratio (PB) and discounts for lack of marketability (DLOM) as major unobservable inputs for SCG. The changes in Level 3 financial assets are analysed below: Gains recognised in other 31 December Transfer out of comprehensive 31 December 2021 Purchase Level 3 income 2022 Investments in other equity instruments - Other equity instruments 2,684,300,000 2,000,000 (1,653,500,000) (80,000,000) 952,800,000 (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 notes receivables, accounts receivables, other receivables, long-term receivables, short-term borrowings, payables, lease liabilities, 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. 13 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 ‘shareholders’ equity’ as shown in the consolidated balance sheet. The Group is not subject to external mandatory capital requirements, and monitors capital on the basis of gearing ratio. As at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021, the Group's gearing ratio is as follows: 31 December 2022 31 December 2021 (Restated) Gearing ratio 78.16% 71.21% 280 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.

Considering the favourable credit history of Southern Power Grid Company, the Company held that there was no significant credit risk arising from receivables from sale of electricity. Since the possibility of material losses due to the default by Southern Power Grid Company was extremely low, the Company made no provision for the ECL of the receivables from sale of electricity. As at 31 December 2022, there were no accounts receivables categorised in Group 2 and 3. 281 GUANGDONG ELECTRIC POWER DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.
