(3) Main Suppliers and Customers
a. Main Suppliers
Main Suppliers Percentage of Total Purchase(%)
Ningbo Fuxing Electric Fuel Company Ltd 49.53
Zhejiang Fuxing Electric Fuel Company Ltd 43.18
Changxing Changfeng Energy Company Ltd 2.46
Jingning Jingfeng Energy Company Ltd 1.96
Shanghai Steam Turbine Company Ltd 1.14
b. Customers
Due to the 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 the strong 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 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 reduced by RMB 5 yuan/MWh compared with that of 2002 to RMB 352.42 yuan/MWh
(excluding tax), with effect 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 since July and the increase in 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 increased by RMB 347 million yuan when 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 totalled USD
230.59 million (equivalent to RMB 1,910.8759 million yuan). This fund has been

3. Analysis of Financial Position, Operating Results and Cash Flow
(1) Analysis of Financial Position
a. Total asset
The total asset of ZSEPC in the current reporting period amounts to RMB 8.680
billion yuan, which increased by RMB 78 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 reporting 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, please refer to Item 3
of Section II herein entitled "Changes in Shareholders' Equity in Current
Reporting 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 reporting period when 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 when 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.
Power Plants wholly Electricity Sales (in hundred million Principal Operating Income

(Note) (Note)
Total 148.13 99.04 49.57% 47.38 33.21 42.68%
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 reporting period when 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 reporting period when compared with that of 2002,
which is mainly due to the allocation of the devaluation reserve for long-term
investment amounting to RMB 180 million yuan after Southern Securities was taken
over by the government.
d. In this reporting period, the non-principal operating profit and the net
value of the non-operating income/expenditure of ZSEPC did not have any
significant changes. ZSEPC had no subsidy income.
e. Net Profit
The net profit realized by ZSEPC in this reporting period increased by 11.69%
to RMB 609 million yuan when 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' gains/losses.
(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 C932,488,417.09 yuan, and the net cash flow generated from
the financing activities was RMB C521,526,787.83 yuan.
4. Loss of Corporate Assets
(1) Allocation of Devaluation Reserve for Long-term Investment
As approved in the 7th meeting of the 2nd Board of Directors of ZSEPC, ZSEPC
made capital contribution of RMB 220 million yuan to acquire 200 million shares
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 improper
operation, the financial position of Southern Securities deteriorated so much
that on 2 January 2004 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 that ZSEPC shall 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 29.4461 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 " dividends payable". Now this will be disclosed
separately in the notes to financial statements without accounting treatment in
line with the accounting system and 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.
The Board of Directors consider that the above changes in the accounting policy
and accounting assumptions were made according to the Chinese enterprise
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 the 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 the Notice on Preparation for
Simulated Operation of East China Power Market taking into account the actual
situation of East China power grid and general arrangement for establishment of
the pilot East China power market. Pursuant to the Notice, the simulated
operation of East China Power Market will commence 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 anticipated that the establishment of East China power
market will have minimal impact on ZSEPC in the near future.
(3) Power Tariff
Pursuant to the Document Zhe Jia Shang No.(2003)445 Notice on Adjustment of
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 the increase in coal purchase cost of ZSEPC
(based on coal price to power plant). ZSEPC is negotiating with the coal supplier
in relation to the coal price for 2004 and the relevant agreement has not been
signed.
(5) Emission Charges
Pursuant to the 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 rate of RMB 0.2 yuan per 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 unit of pollutants from 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 document number of the auditor's report of Zhejiang Pan-China Certified
Public Accountants is Zhe Tian Hui Shen (2004) No.448 and it was signed by
Chinese certified accountants Wang Yuehao and Wu Yan.

The resolutions formed in this Supervisory Committee meeting were announced in
China Securities Journal, Shanghai Securities News, Hongkong-based South China
Morning Post and Hongkong-based Wen Wei Po on 2 July 2003.
2. Independent Opinion of Supervisory Committee
(1) Supervision of ZSEPC's Operation According to the Law
In 2003, with the power conferred 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 duties by 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 special committees, namely the Strategic Committee, the Auditing Committee
and the Remuneration and 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 and 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
perfected.
The Supervisory Committee considers that the Board of Directors and the
management team of ZSEPC 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 and documents of ZSEPC, listened to the reports given by the
management team and gained a full and accurate understanding of the financial
position of ZSEPC.
The Committee considers 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 adhere to 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 the Board meeting and shareholders' general
meetings as observers to exercise supervision before, after and driving the
course of making 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 and extension of installed 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 actively participate in the construction of new generators 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.
According to the Resolution on Increasing Registered Capital adopted in the
shareholders' general meeting for 2002 of ZJPGC, ZSEPC injected equity capital
totalling RMB 240 million yuan to ZJPGC in 2003 as per its investment ratio of
24%. As at the end of 2003, the registered capital of ZJPGC amounted to RMB
1,555.19 million yuan, to which ZSEPC has made cumulative capital contribution
amounting to RMB 373.25 million yuan.
The construction of 4 x 600 MW generating units of ZJPGC has been going ahead
smoothly since commencement as a result of the joint efforts 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 become
the new profit engines of ZSEPC.
(5) Supervision of Related Party Transactions
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 without damaging of the interest of ZSEPC and the interest of the
medium and small shareholders of ZSEPC. There were no insider transactions
between them.
(6) Explanation on 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 invested was taken over by the government on
2 January 2004 due to its disorderly management, weak internal control and
improper operation leading to deteriorating financial position. The Supervisory
Committee considers that ZSEPC's move to allocate devaluation reserves for this
long-term investment amounting to RMB 180.15 million yuan before release of the
auditing and investigation 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, conduct thorough investigation beforehand
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 amounting to 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 have been examined and confirmed by Zhejiang Pan-China Certified Public
Accountants.
IX. Important Events
1. Major Events of Litigation or Arbitration

(b) In the current reporting period, ZPEPDC provided trust loans in amount of
RMB 26 million yuan and RMB 134 million yuan totalling RMB 160 million yuan
through China Construction Bank Hangzhou Zhijiang Branch to ZCPGC, with the
terms of the two loans being from 2 July 2003 to 2 July 2004 and from 15

(4) External Guarantees
a. Providing ZCPGC with Shareholder's Guarantee In Proportion to Shareholding
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
reporting period are Zhejiang Hongfa Energy Investment Co. and ZPEPDC.
Pursuant to the Document Jing Mao Tou Zhi (2001)460 Approval of Feasibility
Study Report for Changxing Power Plant Phase IV issued by the State Economic and
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
bank loans.
ZCPGC and China Construction Bank Changxing County Branch signed the 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 the 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 million yuan), with the term of
guarantee being from 18 December 2001 to 17 June 2019.
ZSEPC completed the formalities required 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 Wei Po on 10
November 2001.
As of the end of this reporting 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 reporting 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 respectively. 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 reporting period, there are no signs of anticipated joint
liabilities.
b. Providing ZJPGC with Shareholder's Guarantee In Proportion to Shareholding
Ratio
ZJPGC is the project company responsible for construction and operation of
Jiaxing Power Plant Phase II 4 x 600 MW. ZSEPC holds 24% of its equity. The
other shareholders of ZCPGC as at the end of this reporting period are ZPEPDC
holding 53% of its equity, Beijing Guohua Electric Power Co. Ltd holding 20% and
Zhejiang Provincial Electric Power Construction Co. holding 3%.
Pursuant to the 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 (providing a loan of RMB 3.21 billion
yuan) separately.
In 2001, ZJPGC signed the Fixed Assets Loan Contract in relation to the project
with Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Zhejiang Branch and China
Construction Bank Zhejiang Branch respectively. Industrial & Commercial Bank of
China Zhejiang Branch and China Construction Bank Zhejiang Branch agreed to
provide loans to ZJPGC up to RMB4.5 billion yuan and RMB3.2 billion yuan
respectively.
Since the amount of the loan is substantial, the Bank required shareholders'
guarantees to ensure security of the loan capital. So ZSEPC and the other
shareholders of ZCPGC signed the 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 the 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 Shanghai Securities News, Hongkong-based South China Morning Post
and HongKong-based Wen Wei Po on 10 November 2001 and 11 December 2001
separately.
As of 31 December 2003, the balance of ZJPGC's loan amounts to RMB 2,000 million
yuan, of which the amount of RMB 480 million yuan or 24% of the total (i.e.
ZSEPC's equity contribution ratio) is guaranteed by ZSEPC. During the period
from January to December 2003, ZJPGC's balance of loan 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 reporting 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
liability or related transactions. For details, please refer to "
Independent Directors' Specific Statement and Independent Opinion about ZSEPC's
Guarantees'" under "Other Matters'" of Section VIII "Report of
Board of Directors'".
