Zhejiang Fuxing Electric Fuel Company Ltd 43.18
Changxing Changfeng Energy Company Ltd 2.46

b. Customer
Due to the inherent characteristics of the power industry, ZPEPC is the grid
operator and single buyer in Zhejiang power grid. All the electricity generated
by ZSEPC is sold to ZPEPC, with the sale income constituting 100% of the
principal operating income of ZSEPC.
(4) Operational Problems/Difficulties and Solutions
a. Efforts to minimize the effect of coal price hike
The coal cost makes up more than 50% of the principal operating cost of ZSEPC.
In recent years, the coal price in China has risen continuously as the rapid
development of the downstream industries led to mounting demand for coal
products. ZSEPC attached great importance to the coal price hike and took a
number of measures to control the coal cost. Firstly, the equipment was
retrofitted to reduce the coal consumption for power generation; secondly, ZSEPC
sought to cultivate long term cooperative relationship with the coal supplier to
ensure smooth contract implementation and stable coal price so that the real
coal price for ZSEPC was RMB 386 yuan/ton in 2003, on a par with that of 2002;
thirdly, ZSEPC strengthened its internal management of coal consumption to raise
coal weighing accuracy, reduce transportation loss and mixed coal burning so as
to reduce the coal losses.
b. Efforts to offset the adverse effect of the contractual power tariff drop in
Taizhou Power Plant
As approved by Document Zhe Jia Shang (2003)36 of Zhejiang Provincial Pricing
Bureau (ZPPB), the contractual power tariff for Taizhou Power Plant under ZSEPC
was lowered by RMB 5 yuan/MWh compared with that of 2002 to RMB 352.42 yuan/MWh
(excluding tax), effective from 1 January 2003. At the same time, due to the
synergic effect of some favorable factors such as the increase in utilization
hours of the generating units, the commissioning of new generators, the
suspension of Zhejiang Power Market and the raise of power tariff for excess
generation, the principal operating income of ZSEPC increased substantially
compared with that of 2002, of which the principal operating income of Taizhou
Power Plant went up by RMB 347 million yuan compared with that of 2002 to RMB
3,161 million yuan, completely offsetting the adverse effect of the downward
adjustment of its contractual power tariff.
2. Investment
(1) Use of Proceeds Raised Through Share Listing
The proceeds raised from the listing of ZSEPC's shares in 1997 totaled USD

(1) Analysis of Financial Position
a. Total asset
The total asset of ZSEPC in the current report period stands at RMB 8.680
billion yuan, which increased by RMB 780 million yuan in comparison with the
amount of RMB 8.602 billion yuan in 2002, representing no significant changes.
b. Shareholders' equity
The shareholders' equity in the current report period amounts to RMB 6.009
billion yuan, which increased by RMB 124 million yuan as opposed to RMB 5.885
billion yuan in 2002. For detailed reasons of the change, refer to Item 3 of
Section II herein entitled 'degreesChanges in Shareholders' Equity in Current
Report period'+/-.
(2) Analysis of Operating Results
a. Principal Operating Income
The principal operating income realized by ZSEPC grew by 42.68% to RMB 4.738
billion yuan in the current report period compared with that of the preceding
year, due to an increase of 49.57% in the amount of electricity sale.
The increase in the electricity sales resulted from the following factors:
(a) ZCPGC's Unit 1 coming into operation on 15 December 2002 and Unit 2 coming
into operation on 22 May 2003 increased ZCPGC's electricity sales by 3.427
billion kwh compared with that in the previous year;
(b) Against the backdrop of continuous rapid economic development and lasting
heat wave and drought giving rise to unprecedented power shortage in Zhejiang,
ZSEPC seized the market opportunity to utilize the potential of the available
generators for more power generation and sales to the extent that production
safety is ensured.

Note: Unit 1 of ZCPGC went into commercial operation in December 2002 and Unit 2
in May 2003.
b. Principal Operating Profit
The principal operating profit of ZSEPC increased by 43.68% to RMB 1.556
billion yuan in the current report period compared with that of 2002, which is
mainly attributable to the increase in the principal operating income.
c. Returns on Investment
The returns on investment of ZSEPC decreased by RMB 180 million yuan to RMB
C147 million yuan in this report period compared with that of 2002, which is
mainly due to the allocation of the devaluation reserve for long-term investment
amounting toRMB 180 million yuan after Southern Securities was taken over by
the government.
d. In this report period, the non-principal operating profit and the net value
of the non-operating gains/losses of ZSEPC underwent no significant changes.
ZSEPC hadno subsidy income.
e. Net Profit
The net profit realized by ZSEPC in this report period increased by 11.69% to
RMB 609 million yuan compared with that of 2002. The increase of the net profit
is less than the increase of the principal operating profit mainly because of
the allocation of the devaluation reserve for long term investment and the
deduction of the minority shareholders' equity.
(a) the lump-sum housing subsidy and the service length subsidy totaling RMB
50.44 million yuan were recorded as the current administrative expenses.
(b) Zhejiang Changxing Power Generation Company's establishment cost of RMB
53.22 million yuan was recorded as the current administrative expenses.
d. The non-operating cost increased by RMB 22.37 million yuan in the current
report period compared with that of the preceding year, which is mainly
attributable to the net losses on retirement and transfer of fixed assets.
e. The increase in income tax payment is due to the fact that from 2002 onwards,
ZSEPC no longer enjoys the preferential treatment of the local income tax refund
in accordance with the relevant stipulations of Ministry of Finance.
(3) Analysis of Cash Flow
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents:
The net increase in cash and cash equivalents amounted to RMB C37,397,618.65
yuan, of which the net cash flow generated from the operating activities was RMB
1,416,710,611.72 yuan, the net cash flow generated from the investment
activities was RMB C905,770,778.89 yuan, and the net cash flow generated from

of Southern Securities, accounting for 5.78% of the total stock of the latter.
As of the end of 2002, the book investment cost of ZSEPC amounted to RMB 220
million yuan.
Due to its disorderly management, weak internal control and misoperation, the
financial position of Southern Securities deteriorated so much that China
Securities Regulatory Commission and Shenzhen Municipal Government issued a
joint announcement to take over the administration of Southern Securities. In
the light of the aforesaid situation, ZSEPC decided to allocate devaluation
reserve for this long-term investment in accordance with the relevant accounting
standards.
As Southern Securities is now under thorough auditing and investigation, it is
impossible to make accurate allocation of the devaluation reserve for long-term
investment before release of the auditing result. For accounting soundness, it
is decided for ZSEPC to allocate the devaluation reserve for long-term
investment amounting to RMB 180.15 million yuan based on the auditing
information provided by the auditor of Southern Securities.
(2) Retirement and Inventory Loss of Corporate Assets
In 2003, technical renovation and expiry of equipment service life led to net
losses on retirement of fixed assets of ZSEPC amounting to RMB 29.4416 million
yuan; equipment replacement and natural depletion led to net losses on
retirement and inventory loss of current assets amounting to RMB 649,400 yuan.
The above losses has been examined and confirmed by Zhejiang Pan-China Certified
Public Accountants.
5. Changes in Accounting Policies and Accounting Assumptions
(1)The cash dividends in the profit distribution proposal made by the Board of
Directors between the balance sheet date of the reported year and the approval
of the financial statements was previously treated by ZSEPC as post-adjustment
and recorded as'degrees dividends payable'+/-. Now this will be disclosed
separately in the notes to financial statements without accounting treatment in
line with the relevant stipulations. Through retroactive adjustment, this
accounting policy change led to adjustment of the beginning amount of retained
earnings and other beginning amounts of relevant accounting items. The columns
of the amount in previous year in the statement of profit and profit
distribution were filled in with the adjusted figures. The cumulative impact of
the above accounting policy change amounts to RMB 498,480,000.00 yuan. Due to
this accounting policy change, the dividends payable at the end of 2002 was
decreased by RMB 498,480,000.00 yuan; the retained earnings/undistributed profit
at the beginning of 2003 was increased by RMB 498,480,000.00 yuan; the beginning
amount of undistributed profit in the statement of profit and profit
distribution for the previous year was increased by RMB 502,500,000.00 yuan.
(3) In line with Document Cai Kuai (2003)10 of the Ministry of Finance, for
the external investment after the issuance of this document, the difference by
which ZSEPC's initial investment cost is less than its equity share of the
investee is recorded as 'degreescapital reserve-equity investment reserve'+/-.
For the external investment before the issuance of the aforesaid document that
has been recorded as 'degreeslong-term equity investment-equity investment
difference'+/-, no retroactive adjustment will bemade, with its balance being
treated in line with the old accounting policy until the finish of amortization.
The Board of Directors think that the above changes in the accounting policy and
accounting assumptions were made based on the Chinese accounting standards,
systems and related explanations, and that they have no substantive effect on
the Company.
6. Impact of Changes in Operational Environment, Policies and Regulations
on Production and Operations of ZSEPC
(1) Zhejiang Power Market
As Zhejiang province suffered severe power shortage, Zhejiang Power Market
Dispatching and Trade Center suspended operation of the power market in
accordance with the Market Code on 2 July 2003. Up to now, the market has not
been re-opened. The electricity sale is settled at the contractual price.
(2) East China Power Market
The State Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC) issued Notice on Pilot East
China Power Market to carry out the pilot power market in East China, which will
cover Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Fujian. Subsequently, SERC issued
Document Ban Shi Chang No.(2004)3 entitled Notice on Preparation for Mimic
Operation of East China Power Market taking into account the realities of East
China power grid and general arrangement for establishment of the pilot East
China power market. In the light of the Notice, the mimic operation of East
China Power Market will be commenced on 18 May 2004. The market code governing
the market operation will be set forth before mid-April 2004.
As all the power plants owned or controlled by ZSEPC are located in the area
covered by East China power market, ZSEPC will closely follow and study the
operating code of East China power market. In view of the power shortage in East
China at present, it is forecasted that the establishment of East China power
market will have minimal impact on ZSEPC in the near future.
(3) Power Tariff
Based on Document Zhe Jia Shang No.(2003)445 Notice on Adjustmentof Power
Tariff Applicable to ZPEPC-dispatched Coal-fired Power Plants from ZPPB, the
tariff rate applicable to the ZPEPC-dispatched coal-fired power plants will be
raised by 0.007 yuan/kwh (including tax), effective from 1 January 2004. This
applies to Taizhou Power Plant, Xiaoshan Power Plant and ZCPGC. This move will
reduce the cost pressure brought about by the coal price hike.
(4) Coal Price
The market price of coal continues to rise with the mounting coal demand. It was
proposed by the relevant governmental departments in the national coal order
placing meeting in 2004 that the coal price should increase by RMB 12 yuan/ton
on average nationwide. But the coal price rise sustained by ZSEPC is still
greater than this amount. In addition, coal transportation cost went up by a
wide margin, which contributed to coal purchase cost of ZSEPC ( based on coal
price to power plant). Now ZSEPC is negotiating with the coal supplier about the
coal price for 2004, with the agreement notyet signed.
(5) Emission Charges
Based on Emission Charges Standards Management Method jointly issued by the
State Planning Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Agency of
Environmental Protection, the emission charges of sulfur dioxide will be
collected at a standard of RMB 0.2 yuan per one unit of pollutants for the first
year, RMB 0.4 yuan per unit for the second year (effective from 1 July 2004) and
RMB 0.6 yuan per unit for the third year (effective from 1 July 2005). The
emission of NOx is not charged before 1 July 2004, but will be charged at RMB
0.6 yuan per one unit of pollutants after 1 July 2004. The raising of the charge
standards will increase the cost expenditure of ZSEPC.
7. The financial statements of ZSEPC for 2003were audited by Zhejiang
Pan-China Certified Public Accountants and PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian
CPAs Co. Ltd. Both produced standard Auditor's Reports without reservations. The
Chinese certified accountants Wang Yuehao, Chen Shu and Huang Yuanxi produced
Auditor's Report No. Zhe Tian Kuai Shen (2003)383 in its standard form without
reservations.

2. Independent Opinionof Supervisory Committee
(1) Supervision of ZSEPC's Operation Within the Law
In 2002, with the power bestowed by the Company Law and the Articles of
Association, the Supervisory Committee exercised supervision over the
organizational structure of the board, the proceeding of the board meetings, the
resolutions, the board's execution of the resolutions of the shareholders'
general meeting and the performance of the senior management, and formed the
opinion that ZSEPC carried out its operations in accordance with the relevant
laws/ regulations and the administrative rules/systems.
The Board of Directors of ZSEPC was re-elected in 2003 upon expiry of tenure.
Three ad hoc committees, namely the Strategic Committee, the Auditing Committee
and the Remuneration & Appraisal Committee under the new Board were established.
Independent directors make up 1/3 of the Board. They predominate in the Auditing
Committee and the Remuneration & Appraisal Committee and act as conveners. The
organizational structure of the Board conforms to the Rules for Governance of
Listed Companies, with its internal control mechanism further refined.
The Supervisory Committee deems that the Board of Directors and the management
team of ZSEPC the performed their duties in accordance with the law, regulations
and the Articles of Association and carried out the various resolutions with the
aim to maximize the interest of the shareholders.
(2) Supervision of Financial Position of ZSEPC
The Supervisory Committee deems examination of the corporate financial position
as its first and foremost responsibility. It scrutinized the regular financial
statements of ZSEPC, listened to the reports given by the management team and
gained a full accurate knowledge of the financial position of ZSEPC.
The Committee thinks that the rapid increase in the operating results of ZSEPC
is not only due to the power shortage in Zhejiang. But more importantly, it is
due to ZSEPC's serious efforts to adhereto production safety, focus on economic
benefit, strengthen corporate management, further improve equipment health,
expedite investment in power construction and asset expansion.
The Supervisory Committee is of the opinion that the Financial Statements of
ZSEPC for 2003 gives a true, accurate and complete account of the financial
position and operating results of ZSEPC. Both Zhejiang Pan-China Certified
Public Accountants and PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian CPAs Co. Ltd produced
the Auditor's Reports in their standard forms with no reservations.
(3) Supervision of Important Decisions
The Supervisory Committee attended each Board meetings and shareholders' general
meetings as observers to exercise pre-, mid- and post-supervisionof the
important decisions with good effectiveness.
In 2003, ZSEPC seized the opportunity to make external investment to hold
controlling or non-controlling shares of power plants with good potential. The
Supervisory Committee is of the opinion that power generation is the principal
business of ZSEPC so extension of generating capacity is the main means for
ZSEPC to increase income. Against the backdrop of rapid economic development and
severe power shortage in Zhejiang, ZSEPC got hold of the favorable opportunity
to participate in construction of new generators with good efforts so as to lay
the foundation and provide potential for its future development.
(4) Supervision of Use of Proceeds Raised from Share Listing
As approved in the extraordinary shareholders' meeting in 2001, the remaining
amount of the proceeds raised from share listing was used to:
a. make equity investment in Zhejiang Jiahua Power Generation Company Limited
(ZJPGC);
b. supplement the working capital of ZSEPC.
Based on the Resolution on Increasing Registered Capital adopted in shareholders
' general meeting 2002 of ZJPGC, ZSEPC injected equity capital totaling RMB 240
million yuan to ZJPGC in 2003 as per its investment ratio of 24%. As of the end
of 2003, the registered capital of ZJPGC amounted to RMB 1,555.19 million yuan,
to which ZSCPC has made cumulative capital contribution amounting to RMB 373.25
million yuan.
The construction for 4 x 600 MW generating units of ZJPGC has been going ahead
smoothly since commencement, thanks to the joint effort of the owner and the
constructor to improve construction management and tap construction potential
while ensuring safety, quality and cost control. The original plan to commission
the first generating unit at the end of 2004 can be advanced, and so can the
other generating units. The Supervisory Committee believes that commissioning of
the 4 x 600 MW generating units one after another will be the new profit engines
of ZSEPC.
(5) Supervision of Related Party Transaction
The Supervisory Committee is of the opinion that the related parties
transactions between ZSEPC and the related parties in the past year were
governed by the agreements or contracts between them. Both sides exercise their
rights and fulfill their obligations in strict accordance with the agreement/
contract, to no detriment of the interest of ZSEPC and the interest of the
medium and small shareholders of ZSEPC. There was no inside transactionsbetween
them.
(6) Explanation About Allocation of Long-term Investment Devaluation Reserve
and Losses on Retirement of Corporate Assets
a. Allocation of Long-term Investment Devaluation Reserve
Southern Securities in which ZSEPC investedwas taken over by the government on
2 January 2004 due to its disorderly management, weak internal control and
mis-operation leading to deteriorating financial position. The Supervisory
Committee considers that ZSEPC' move to allocate devaluation reserve for this
long-term investment amounting to RMB 180 million yuan before release of the
auditing result conforms to the principle of accounting soundness.
The Supervisory Committee further considers that ZSEPC should draw a lesson from
the incident of Southern Securities, do thorough prior investigation and make
prudent investment decisions so as to safeguard the interest of ZSEPC and its
shareholders.
b. Losses on Retirement of Corporate Assets
In 2003, technical renovation and expiry of equipment service life led to net
losses on retirement of fixed assets of ZSEPC amounting to RMB 29.4416 million
yuan; equipment replacement and natural depletion led to net losses on
retirement and inventory loss of current assets amountingto RMB 649,400 yuan.
The Supervisory Committee considers that it is reasonable for ZSEPC to take
stock of the fixed assets and the inventory items at year end and dispose of
retired assets in accordance with the prevailing accounting system. The above
losses has been examined and confirmed by Zhejiang Pan-China Certified Public
Accountants.

(4) Guarantees
a. Providing ZCPGC with Shareholder's Guarantee In Proportion toShareholding
Ratio
ZCPGC is the project company responsible for construction and operation of ZCPGC
Project Phase I 2 x 300 MW(originally called Changxing Power Plant Phase IV,
commissioned on 22 May 2003) and Phase II 2 x 300 MW (under construction). ZSEPC
holds 65% of its equity. The other shareholders of ZCPGC as at the end of this
report period are Zhejiang Hongfa Energy Investment Co. and ZPEPDC.
Based on Document Jing Mao Tou Zhi (2001)460 Approval of Feasibility Study
Report for Changxing Power Plant Phase IV issued by the State Economic & Trade
Commission, the planned total investment of ZCPGC Project 2 x 300 MW amounts to
RMB 2.593 billion yuan, of which 25% is the project equity, 75% are the bank
loans.
ZCPGC and China Construction Bank Changxing County Branch signed Fixed Assets
Loan Contract for the Project in December 2001, based on which China
Construction Bank Changxing County Branch agreed to provide ZCPGC with a loan
amounting to RMB 1.5 billion yuan (In addition, the shareholders provided trust
loans amounting to RMB 300 million yuan).
Since the amount of loan is substantial, the Bank required shareholders'
guarantees to ensure security of the loan capital. So the shareholders of ZCPGC
separately signed Guarantee Contract with China Construction Bank Changxing
County Branch based on the principle of providing shareholders' guarantees for
the project loan in proportion to their shareholding ratios without joint
liability among shareholders. According to the Guarantee Contract, ZSEPC is to
provide guarantee for the loan to ZCPGC up to a ceiling of RMB 1.07 billion yuan
(which was obtained by multiplying ZCPGC's loan ceiling of RMB 1.8 billion by
65% minus ZSEPC's trust loan of RMB 100 millionyuan), with the term of
guarantee being from 18 December 2001 to 17 June 2019.
ZSEPC completed the formalities necessary for the guarantee provided to ZCPGC.
In accordance with Rules for Listed Companies, the provision of this guarantee
was endorsed in the 15th meeting of the second Board of Directors of ZSEPC. The
resolution was announced in China Securities Journal, Shanghai Securities News,
Hongkong-based South China Morning Post and HongKong-based Wen Hui Bao dated 10
November 2001.
As of the end of this report period, the balance of ZCPGC's loan amounts to RMB
560 million yuan, of which the amount of RMB 392 million yuan is guaranteed by
ZSEPC. In this report period, ZCPGC's balance of loan increased by RMB 110
million yuan, so ZSEPC's guaranteed amount increased by RMB 63 million yuan.
The 2 x 300 MW generating units of ZCPGC Project Phase I were put into
commercial operation on 15 December 2002 and 22 May 2003 separately. They are
now in good operation. ZCPGC achieved principal operating income amounting to
RMB 1,067 million yuan and net profit amounting to RMB 176 million yuan. As at
the end of the current report period, there are no signs of anticipated joint
liabilities.
b. Providing ZJPGC with Shareholder's Guarantee In Proportion to Shareholding

Zhejiang Provincial Electric Power Construction Co. holding 3%.
Based on Document Ji Ji Chu (2002)2349 State Planning Commission's Approval of
Adjustment to Construction Plan of Zhejiang Jiaxing Power Plant Phase II issued
by the State Development Planning Commission, the adjusted dynamic investment of
ZJPGC totals RMB 10.28 billion yuan. The adjusted project equity amounts to RMB
2.57 billion yuan, accounting for 25% of the total investment. The capital
needed for the project other than the equity will be sourced from Industrial &
Commercial Bank of China providing a loan of RMB 4.5 billion yuan and China
Construction Bank providinga loan of RMB 3.21 billion yuan separately.
Since the amount of loan is substantial, the Bank required shareholders'
guarantees to ensure security of the loan capital. So ZSEPC and the other
shareholders of ZCPGC signed Guarantee Contract with Industrial & Commercial
Bank of China Zhejiang Branch and China Construction Bank Zhejiang Branch
separately. The contract is up to a ceiling, with the actual guarantee based on
the actual amount of principal and interest of the loan. According to the
Guarantee Contract, ZSEPC is to provide guarantee for the 24% of the loan to
ZJPGC without joint liability between shareholders, with the term of guarantee
being from 17 December 2001 to 16 June 2026.
ZSEPC completed the formalities necessary for the guarantee provided to ZJPGC.
The provision of this guarantee was endorsed in the 15th meeting of the second
Board of Directors and the extraordinary shareholders' general meeting of ZSEPC
in 2001. The resolutions of the Board meeting and the shareholders' meeting were
announced in China Securities Journal, Shanghai Securities News, Hongkong-based
South China Morning Post and HongKong-based Wen Hui Bao dated 10 November 2001
and 11 December 2001 separately.

ZSEPC's equity contribution ratio) is guaranteed by ZSEPC. During the period
from January to December 2003, ZJPGC's balance ofloan increased by RMB 1,900
million yuan, so ZSEPC's guaranteed amount increased by RMB 456 million yuan.
The 4 x 600 MW generating units of ZJPGC are now under construction. It is
planned that Unit 1 will be put into operation in the second half of 2004. As at
the end of the current report period, there are no signs of anticipated joint
liabilities.
c. The purpose of above guarantees provided by ZSEPC is to advance the
development of the principal business of ZSEPC and protect the fundamental
interest of the company and its shareholders, to no detriment of the interest of
its medium and small shareholders. The guarantees are proportional to its
investment ratios with proportional liabilities without inter-shareholder joint
liabilityor related transactions. It can be regarded as ZSEPC providing
