This was mainly because of the non-public issue of A shares, the public issue of corporate bonds and an increase in borrowings. (2) Prepayments of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period increased by approximately 308% over the beginning of the reporting period. This was mainly because of increases in prepayments for fuel coal made by the Company's coal-fired power plants and Beijing Datang Fuel Co., Ltd. (3) Inventories of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period increased by approximately 32% over the beginning of the reporting period. This was mainly because of increases in coal inventories of the Company's coal-fired power plants and Beijing Datang Fuel Co., Ltd. (4) Taxes payable of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period decreased by approximately 146% over the beginning of the reporting period. This was mainly because of increases in input value-added taxes not yet deducted from the Company's subsidiaries. (5) Debentures payable of the Company as at the end of the reporting period increased by approximately 50% over the beginning of the reporting period. This was mainly because the Company has publicly issued corporate bonds of RMB3 billion during the reporting period. (6) Long-term payables of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period increased by approximately 58% over the beginning of the reporting period. This was mainly because of the growth in the financial leasing business of the Company's subsidiaries. (7) Capital reserve of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period increased by approximately 148% over the beginning of the reporting period. This was mainly because of the capital premium arisen from the Company's issue of shares. (8) Undistributed profits of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period increased by approximately 45% over the beginning of the reporting period. This was mainly because of the profit realised for the nine months ended 30 September 2011. (9) Business tax and surcharges of the Company and its subsidiaries for the nine months ended 30 September 2011 increased by approximately 37% over the corresponding period of the previous year.

(10) Financial expenses of the Company and its subsidiaries for the nine months ended 30 September 2011 increased by approximately 30% over the corresponding period of the previous year. This was mainly because of an increase in interest expenses as a result of an increase in borrowings of the Company and its subsidiaries. (11) Investment income of the Company and its subsidiaries for the nine months ended 30 September 2011 increased by approximately 64% over the corresponding period of the previous year. This was mainly because the invested entities recorded growth in results performance, resulting in an increase in investment income as recognised in accordance with the equity method. (12) Other comprehensive income of the Company and its subsidiaries for the nine months ended 30 September 2011 decreased by approximately 326% over the corresponding period of the previous year. This was mainly because of decreases in other comprehensive incomes at the Company's invested entities during the reporting period. (13) Net cash flows generated from investing activities of the Company and its subsidiaries for the nine months ended 30 September 2011 decreased by approximately 39% over the corresponding period of the previous year. This was mainly because of an increase in capital expenditure during the reporting period. (14) Net cash flows generated from financing activities of the Company and its subsidiaries for the nine months ended 30 September 2011 increased by approximately 290% over the corresponding period of the previous year. This was mainly because of an increase in cash inflow as a result of the non-public issue of A shares and the public issue of corporate bonds. 3.2 The analysis and explanation of progress and impact of major events and solutions 0 Applicable / Not applicable 3.3 The performance of the undertakings made by the Company, shareholders and the de facto controller 0 Applicable / Not applicable 3.4 The warning and explanation in the forecast of the possible aggregate net profits from the beginning of the year to the end of the next reporting period becoming a loss or significant changes over the corresponding period of the previous year 0 Applicable / Not applicable 3.5 Status of the implementation of the cash dividend policy during the reporting period On 26 August 2011, the 2011 Second Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company considered and approved the dividend distribution plan for 2010 of the Company.
