An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the +reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the +consolidated financial statements. +Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit and to +report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other +purpose.

Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and +plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements +are free from material misstatement. +Auditor's Responsibility +The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a +true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the disclosure requirements +of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to +enable

Debt instruments that are held within a business model whose +objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and have +contractual terms that give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal +and interest on the principal amount outstanding, are generally measured at fair value through +other comprehensive income. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at +their fair value at the end of subsequent accounting periods. In addition, under IFRS 9, entities may +make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment +(that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally +recognised in profit or loss. +With regard to the measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit +or loss, IFRS 9 requires that the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is +attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, +unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability's credit risk in other comprehensive +income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value +attributable to a financial liability's credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. +Under IAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as +at fair value through profit or loss is presented in profit or loss. +In the relation to the impairment of financial assets, IFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss model, +as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under IAS 39. The expected credit loss model requires +an entity to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at each +reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. In other words, it is no longer +necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised. +Other than the available-for-sale equity investment currently measured at cost less impairment and the +potential early recognition of credit losses based on the expected loss model in relation to the Group's +financial assets measured at amortised cost, the Directors do not expect IFRS 9 will have a material impact +on the results and financial position of the Group. +2015 Annual Report 149 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +(10,760) +2. +APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING +STANDARDS ("IFRSS") (Continued) +New and revised IFRSS not yet effective and not early adopted (Continued) +IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customer +IFRS 15 was issued which establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for +revenue arising from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition +guidance including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related Interpretations when it +becomes effective. +The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised +goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to +be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Standard introduces a 5-step approach +to revenue recognition: +Key requirements of IFRS 9: +• +• +Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract +• +Step 3: Determine the transaction price +• +Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract +Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation +Under IFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when +"control" of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to +the customer. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in IFRS 15 to deal with specific scenarios. +Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by IFRS 15. +The Directors anticipate that the application of IFRS 15 in the future may have a material impact on the +amounts reported and disclosures made in the Group's consolidated financial statements. However, it is not +practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of IFRS 15 until the Group performs a detailed +review. +IFRS 16 Leases +IFRS 16, which upon the effective date will supersede IAS 17 Leases, introduces a single lessee accounting +model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 +months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Specifically, under IFRS 16, a lessee is required to +recognise a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability +representing its obligation to make lease payments. Accordingly, a lessee should recognise depreciation +of the right-of-use asset and interest on the lease liability, and also classifies cash repayments of the lease +liability into a principal portion and an interest portion and presents them in the statement of cash flows. +Also, the right-of-use asset and the lease liability are initially measured on a present value basis. The +measurement includes non-cancellable lease payments and also includes payments to be made in optional +periods if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease, or not to exercise +an option to terminate the lease. This accounting treatment is significantly different from the lessee +accounting for leases that are classified as operating leases under the predecessor standard, IAS 17. +In respect of the lessor accounting, IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements +in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to +account for those two types of leases differently. +As disclosed in Note 39.2, total operating lease commitments for the Group as at 31 December 2015 +amounted to RMB66 million, the Directors do not expect the applicable of IFRS 16 would result in +significant impact on the Group's results but it is expected that these lease commitments will be required to +be recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. +Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer +Amendments to IAS 7 +IFRS 9 introduced new requirements, among others, for the classification and measurement of financial assets +and financial liabilities as well as for derecognition, impairment for financial assets and general hedge +accounting.

Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to equity +holders of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling +interests having a deficit balance. +Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting +policies into line with the Group's accounting policies. +All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transaction between +members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. +Changes in the Group's ownership interest in existing subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing +control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group's +interests and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the +subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and +the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners +of the Company. +Business combinations +Except for business combination involving entities under common control, acquisitions of businesses are +accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination +is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets +transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the +equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are +generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred. +At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their +fair value, except that deferred tax assets or liabilities, and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit +arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee +benefits respectively. +Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non- +controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in +the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and +the liabilities assumed. If, after re-assessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable +assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any +non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the +acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain. +Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate +share of the entity's net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at +the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree's identifiable +net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of +non-controlling interests are measured at their fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in +another IFRS. +2015 Annual Report 153 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2015 +3.

No amount is recognised in respect of goodwill or excess of acquirer's +interest in the net fair value of acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost +at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling party's +interest. +The consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income includes the results of each of +the combining businesses from the earliest date presented or since the date when the combining businesses +first came under the common control, where this is a shorter period. +The comparative amounts in the consolidated financial statements are presented as if the businesses had +been combined at the end of the previous reporting period or when they first came under common control, +whichever is shorter. +Goodwill +Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of +the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any. +For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating-units (or +groups of cash-generating-units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. +A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or more +frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill arising on an acquisition in +a reporting period, the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment +before the end of that reporting period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than +its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill +allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit on a pro rata basis based on the carrying +amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss. An +impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. +On disposal of the relevant cash-generating-units, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the +determination of the amount of profit or loss on disposal. +154 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when +the Group loses control of the subsidiary.

Further, the +disclosure requirements set out in the Listing Rules regarding annual accounts have been amended with +reference to the new CO. Accordingly the presentation and disclosure of information in the consolidated +financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 have been changed to comply with +these new requirements.

The Group estimates its liabilities +for land reclamation and mine closure based upon detailed calculations of the amount and timing of the +future cash spending to perform the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for inflation, then +discounted at a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the +risks specific to the liability such that the amount of provision reflects the present value of the expenditures +expected to be required to settle the obligation. The Group records a corresponding asset associated with +the liability for final reclamation and mine closure. The obligation and corresponding asset are recognised +in the period in which the liability is incurred. The asset is depreciated on the units-of-production method +over its expected life and the liability is accreted to the projected spending date. As changes in estimates +occur (such as mine plan revisions, changes in estimated costs, or changes in timing of the performance of +reclamation activities), the revisions to the obligation and the corresponding asset are recognised at the +appropriate discount rate. +Intangible assets +Intangible assets acquired separately +Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at costs less accumulated +amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation for intangible assets with finite useful +lives is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and +amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in +estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. +Internally-generated intangible assets - research and development expenditure +Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. +An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development activities (or from the development +phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated: +Where rehabilitation is conducted systematically over the life of the operation, rather than at the time +of closure, provision is made for the estimated outstanding continuous rehabilitation work at each +reporting date and the cost is charged to the profit or loss. In case that the exploration evaluation area +was abandoned or the management is of the view that it is unfeasible for commercial development, the +accumulated expenditure of such area will be set off in the period when the decision is made. +Derecognition of intangible assets +Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified into the following specific categories: financial +assets at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables and +available-for-sale financial assets ("AFS").

Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including accounts and +bills receivable, other receivables, loans and advances to Shenhua Group and fellow subsidiaries, entrusted +loans, restricted bank deposits, time deposits with original maturity over three months and cash and +cash equivalents) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified +impairment. +Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables where +the recognition of interest would be immaterial. +AFS financial assets +AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified +as other categories of financial assets. The Group designated its investments in unlisted shares that are not +traded in an active market as AFS financial assets. +As the unlisted equity investments do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair +value cannot be reliably measured, it is measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at end of +each reporting period.

The Group's current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively +enacted by the end of the reporting period. +Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities +in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of taxable +profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax +assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary difference to the extent that it is probable +that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. +Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial +recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects +neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if +the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. +Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments +in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary +difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. +Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and +interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits +against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the +foreseeable future. +2015 Annual Report 157 +The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to +the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of +the asset to be recovered.

Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair +value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of investment, after reassessment, is recognised +immediately in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired. +The requirements of IAS 39 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment +loss with respect to the Group's investment in an associate. When necessary, the entire carrying amount +of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 as a single asset +by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) with its +carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any +reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with IAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable +amount of the investment subsequently increases. +When the Group reduces its ownership interest in an associate but the Group continues to use the equity +method, the Group reclassifies to profit or loss the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been +recognised in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest if that gain or +loss would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities. +When a group entity transacts with an associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the +associate are recognised in the Group' consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in +the associate that are not related to the Group. +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2015 +3.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2015 +3. +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill +4. +Where an indication of impairment exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. An asset's +recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and +is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely +independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is +determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. +An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In +assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax +discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to +the asset for which the future cash flow estimates have not been adjusted. An impairment loss is charged to +the profit or loss as other gains and losses. +An assessment is made at the end of each reporting year as to whether there is any indication that +previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication +exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset is reversed +only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, +but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any +depreciation/amortisation), had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal +of such an impairment loss is credited to the profit or loss in the year in which it arises. +CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION +UNCERTAINTY +In the application of the Group's accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, the Directors are +required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and +liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are +based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ +from these estimates. +The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting +estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period +or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. +2015 Annual Report 167 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2015 +4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION +UNCERTAINTY (CONTINUED) +4.1 Critical judgements in applying accounting policies +4.2 +The following are critical judgements, apart from those involving estimation (see Note 4.2 below), +that the Directors have made in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies and that +have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements. +Control over Hebei Guohua Dingzhou Power Co., Ltd. ("Dingzhou Power") +Note 43 describes that Dingzhou Power is a subsidiary of the Company although the Company has +only 41% ownership interest and voting rights in Dingzhou Power. The remaining 59% of ownership +interest and voting rights are owned by two shareholders that are unrelated to the Group as to 19% +and 40%, respectively. Details of Dingzhou Power are set out in Note 43. +In making their judgement, the Directors considered that the other shareholders of Dingzhou Power +offered the Company, for the right on appointment of the majority members of the board of directors +which is the governing body of most of the relevant activities of Dingzhou Power whilst some +relevant activities require shareholders' approval. The Company considers it has the practical ability to +direct the relevant activities that most significantly affect Dingzhou Power's returns unilaterally. After +assessment, the Directors concluded that the Company has sufficiently dominant power over the +board of directors of Dingzhou Power and therefore the Company has control over Dingzhou Power. +Key sources of estimation uncertainty +The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation +uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material +adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. +Coal reserves +Engineering estimates of the Group's coal reserves are inherently imprecise and represent only +approximate amounts because of the subjective judgements involved in developing such information. +There are authoritative guidelines regarding the engineering criteria that have to be met before +estimated coal reserves can be designated as "proved" and "probable". Proved and probable coal +reserve estimates are updated at regular basis and have taken into account recent production +and technical information of each mine. In addition, as prices and cost levels change from year to +year, the estimate of proved and probable coal reserves also changes. This change is considered +as a change in estimate for accounting purposes and is reflected on a prospective basis in related +depreciation rates. +The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group's obligations are discharged, +cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and +the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss. +Deregconition of financial liabilities +After initial recognition, financial liabilities at amortised cost are subsequently measured at amortised cost, +using the effective interest rate method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which +case they are stated at cost. Gains and losses are recognised in the profit or loss when the liabilities are +derecognised. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance costs in the profit or loss. +Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit +or loss and financial liabilities at amortised cost. The Group determines the classification of its financial +liabilities at initial recognition. The Group's financial liabilities including borrowings, accounts and bills +payable, other payables, long-term liabilities, short-term debentures, medium-term notes and bonds, are +recognised initially at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs (if any). +For the year ended 31 December 2015 +3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Financial instruments (Continued) +Financial assets (Continued) +Derecognition of financial assets +The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset +expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of +the asset to another entity. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of +a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a +collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received. +On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of +the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other +comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss. +Impairment of financial assets +Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment by the Group at the +end of each reporting period by the Group. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is +objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the +financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected. The objective +evidence of impairment could include: +significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or +• +breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest and principal payments; or +• +Despite the inherent imprecision in these engineering estimates, these estimates are used in +determining depreciation expenses and impairment loss. Depreciation rates are determined based +on estimated proved and probable coal reserve quantity (the denominator) and capitalised costs of +mining structures and mining rights (the numerator). The capitalised cost of mining structures and +mining rights are amortised based on the units of coal produced. +it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation. +For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference +between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted +at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. +2015 Annual Report 165 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2015 +3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Financial instruments (Continued) +Financial assets (Continued) +Impairment of financial assets (Continued) +The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets +with the exception of accounts receivables, other receivables, loans and advances to Shenhua Group and +fellow subsidiaries and entrusted loans, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an +allowance account. When accounts receivables, other receivables, loans and advances to Shenhua Group +and fellow subsidiaries and entrusted loans are considered uncollectible, it is written off against the +allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss. +Financial liabilities and equity instruments +Equity instruments +An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after +deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds +received, net of direct issue costs. +Financial liabilities +For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference +between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted +at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed +in subsequent periods. +40,354 +168 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +For the year ended 31 December 2015 +(Restated) +Consolidated statement of profit or loss +and other comprehensive income +for the year ended 31 December 2014 +Revenue +Cost of sales +248,360 +(174,843) +4,721 +(3,266) +253,081 +(178,109) +Gross profit +73,517 +1,455 +74,972 +Selling expenses +(794) +General and administrative expenses +(8,665) +(170) +(794) +(8,835) +Other gains and losses +(749) +(21) +(770) +Other income +933 +6 +939 +Other expenses +(417) +RMB million +The Group +Effect of 2015 +Acquisitions +RMB million +(Note) +(as previously +reported) +4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION +UNCERTAINTY (CONTINUED) +4.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty (Continued) +Impairment losses +In considering the impairment losses that may be required for certain of the Group's assets which +include property, plant and equipment, construction in progress and interest in associates, the +recoverable amount of the asset needs to be determined. The recoverable amount is the higher +of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. It is difficult to precisely estimate fair value +because quoted market prices for these assets may not be readily available. In determining the value +in use, expected cash flows generated by the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs are +discounted to their present value, which requires significant judgement relating to items such as level +of sale volume, selling price, amount of operating costs and future returns. The Group uses all readily +available information in determining an amount that is reasonable approximation of recoverable +amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of +items such as sale volume, selling price and amount of operating costs. +In considering the impairment losses that may be required for current receivables and other financial +assets, future cash flows need to be determined. One of the key assumptions that has to be applied is +about the ability of the debtors to settle the receivables. +Notwithstanding that the Group has used all available information to make this estimation, inherent +uncertainty exists and actual write-offs may be higher or lower than the amount estimated. The +carrying amounts of the property, plant and equipment, construction in progress and interest in +associates are disclosed in Notes 15, 16 and 19, respectively. +Depreciation +Other than the freehold land and mining structures and mining rights, property, plant and +equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, after +taking into account the estimated residual value. The Group reviews the estimated useful lives and +residual value of the assets regularly based on the Group's historical experience with similar assets +and taking into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation expense for future +periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates. The carrying amounts of +the property, plant and equipment is disclosed in Note 15. +Deferred tax asset +As at 31 December 2015, deferred tax assets of RMB2,674 million (2014: RMB2,084 million) have +been recognised in the Group's consolidated statement of financial position. No deferred tax asset +has been recognised on the tax losses of RMB5,604 million (2014: RMB3,285 million) and deductible +temporary differences of RMB5,128 million (2014: RMB833 million) due to the unpredictability of +future profit streams. The realisation of the deferred tax assets mainly depends on whether sufficient +future profits or taxable temporary differences will be available in the future. In cases where +the actual future profits generated are less or more than expected, a material reversal or further +provision of deferred tax assets may arise, which will be recognised in profit or loss in the period in +which such a reversal takes place. +2015 Annual Report 169 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2015 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION +UNCERTAINTY (CONTINUED) +4.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty (Continued) +Obligations for land reclamation +The estimation of the liabilities for final reclamation and mine closure involves the estimates of +the amount and timing for the future cash spending as well as the discount rate used for reflecting +current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The +Group considers the factors including development plan of the mines, the geological structure of +the mining regions and reserve volume to determine the scope, amount and timing of reclamation +and mine closure works to be performed. Determination of the effect of these factors involves +judgements from the Group and the estimated liabilities may turn out to be different from the actual +expenditure to be incurred. The discount rate used by the Group may also be altered to reflect the +changes in the market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability, +such as change of the borrowing rate and inflation rate in the market. As changes in estimates occur +(such as mine plan revisions, changes in estimated costs, or changes in timing of the performance of +reclamation activities), the revisions to the obligation will be recognised at the appropriate discount +rate. The carrying amounts of the obligations are disclosed in Note 34. +RESTATEMENTS ARISING FROM ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARIES UNDER COMMON +CONTROL +On 31 October 2015, the Company completed the acquisition from Shenhua Group the 100% equity interest +in Ningdong Power Plant ("Ningdong Power"), 100% equity interest in Xuzhou Power Plant ("Xuzhou +Power") and 51% equity interest in Zhoushan Power Plant ("Zhoushan Power") (collectively referred to as +"2015 Acquisitions") for a cash consideration of RMB522 million, RMB3,997 million and RMB867 million, +respectively. +During the year ended 31 December 2015, the Company has paid RMB5,386 million based on the valuation +of the acquired business as at 30 June 2015 (the "Valuation Date"). The Company has to pay an additional +consideration of RMB309 million to Shenhua Group, being the excess of the net assets as at the completion +date of the 2015 Acquisitions over that of the Valuation Date, for the acquired business. +As the Company, Ningdong Power, Xuzhou Power and Zhoushan Power were under common control of +Shenhua Group before and after the 2015 Acquisitions, the acquisitions are considered as a combination of +businesses under common control. The principle of merger accounting for business combination involving +entities under common control has therefore been applied, pursuant to which the consolidated financial +statements of the Group have been prepared from 1 January 2015 as if Ningdong Power, Xuzhou Power and +Zhoushan Power have been subsidiaries of the Company since they first came under the common control. +Accordingly, the consolidated statements of financial position as at 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2014 +have been restated to include the assets and liabilities of Ningdong Power, Xuzhou Power and Zhoushan +Power at carrying amounts in the books of Shenhua Group and the consolidated statement of profit or +loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated +statement of cash flows of the Group prior to this acquisition have been restated to include the results of +operations and cash flows of Ningdong Power, Xuzhou Power and Zhoushan Power on a combined basis. +The consideration paid and payable by the Company for Ningdong Power, Xuzhou Power and Zhoushan +Power has been accounted for as an equity transaction in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. +Respective notes to the consolidated financial statements have also been restated. All significant intra- +group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on combination. +170 | China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

No sensitivity analysis has been presented for the exposure to interest rates +for bank balances as the management of the Group considers that, taking into account that +the fluctuation in interest rates on bank balances is minimal, the impact of profit or loss for +the year is insignificant. +The analysis is prepared assuming variable-rate borrowings and variable-rate loans and +receivables outstanding at the end of the reporting period were outstanding for the whole +year. +If interest rates had been 100 basis points (2014: 100 basis points) higher/lower and all other +variables were held constant, the Group's profit for the year ended 31 December 2015 would +decrease/increase by RMB223 million (2014: increase/decrease by RMB146 million). +2015 Annual Report 203 +NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2015 +37. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) +37.2 Financial risk management objectives and policies (Continued) +Credit risk +As at 31 December 2015, the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial +loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties and financial +guarantees provided by the Group is arising from: +the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the consolidated +statement of financial position; +the Group's continuing involvement in the derecognised bills receivables equal to their +carrying amounts as disclosed in Note 24; and +the amount of contingent liability in relation to the financial guarantees provided by the +Group's as disclosed in Note 39.3. +In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible +for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that +follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable +amount of each individual trade debt on regular basis and at the end of the reporting period to +ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In respect of the risk +arising from the provision of financial guarantees, the management of the Group continuously +monitors the credit quality and financial conditions of the guaranteed parties that the Group issued +financial guarantee contracts in favor of to ensure that the Group will not suffer significant credit +losses as a result of the failure of the guaranteed parties on the repayment of the relevant loans. In +this regard, the Directors consider that the Group's credit risk is significantly reduced. +The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with good reputation. +Other than concentration of credit risk on liquid funds which are deposited with several banks +with good reputation, the Group does not have any other significant concentration of credit risk. +Accounts receivables consist of a large number of customers, which spread across diverse industries +and located in the PRC. +Liquidity risk +Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligation as they fall +due. The approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have +sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, +without incurring unacceptable losses or risk damage to the Group's reputation. +The Group closely monitors cash flow requirements and optimising its cash return. The Group +prepares cash flow forecasts and ensures it has sufficient cash for the servicing of operation, +financial, and capital obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that +cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. +204 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Sensitivity analysis +Payables for acquisition of mining rights (note (i)) +The Group's exposures to interest rates on financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk +management section of this note. +The Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to fixed-rate loan and +receivables, borrowings, short-term debenture, medium-term notes and bonds (Notes 25, 29 +and 30).

Unallocated items of +total liabilities include deferred tax liabilities and other unallocated corporate liabilities. +COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (CONTINUED) +To date, the Group has not incurred any significant expenditure for environmental remediation, +is currently not involved in any environmental remediation, and apart from the provision for land +reclamation costs, has not accrued any further amounts for environmental remediation relating +to its operations. Under the existing legislation, management believes that there are no probable +liabilities that will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or operating results of the +Group. The regulatory bodies, however, have moved, and may move further towards the adoption +of more stringent environmental standards. Environmental liabilities are subject to considerable +uncertainties which affect the Group's ability to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation efforts. +These uncertainties include (i) the exact nature and extent of the contamination at various sites +including, but not limited to coal mines and land development areas, whether operating, closed +or sold; (ii) the extent of required cleanup efforts; (iii) varying costs of alternative remediation +strategies; (iv) changes in environmental remediation requirements; and (v) the identification of +new remediation sites. The amount of such future cost is indeterminable due to such factors as +the unknown magnitude of possible contamination and the unknown timing and extent of the +corrective actions that may be required. Accordingly, the outcome of environmental liabilities under +future environmental legislation cannot reasonably be estimated at present, and could be material. +Interest expense +(iii) +290 +364 +Purchases of ancillary materials and spare parts +(iv) +1,385 +2,255 +Mining service income +(v) +812 +1,262 +Ancillary and social services +585 +173 +Transportation service income +(vii) +189 +360 +43 +39.5 Environmental contingencies +39 +Income from entrusted loans +40.

Although the Group has been +sustaining stable performance in safe production for its coal mines, there are uncertainties in +the course of safe production and any major safety accident would have a material impact on +the Group. +To cope with the risks of production safety for coal mines, the Group will strengthen various +areas in respect of the implementation of its safety risk prevention and control management +system, inspections and treatments of significant risks, establishment of "three-breaching" +control mechanism, enhancement of site management level, safety production training, +emergency rescue management and emergency management, and consolidation of safety +production fundamentals. +2015 Annual Report 73 +Section V Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued) +7. +Risk of integrated operations +8. +9. +The Group focuses on the development strategy of clean energy. With the efficient +development, use and conversion of clean coal as the core, it spares no effort in constructing +ecological civilization. The Company implemented the Air Pollution Control Action Plan for +2013-2017 and promulgated the Water Pollution Control Action Plan for 2015-2020. The +Company is also building the brand image of ultra-low emissions in coal power. It further +improves the environmental risk pre-control management system and strengthens the +identification, remediation of potential issues and environmental emergency management +in order to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction targets as well as to prevent +severe environmental pollution incidents. +The Group's advantages in integrated coal mines, power, transportation and coal chemical +operations come along with considerable operating risks. In case of poor organization or +coordination or a discontinuation of any link, the balance and high efficiency of integrated +organization and operations will be affected and the impact may be amplified, which may in +turn adversely affect the Group's business results. +Risk of international operations +Due to the complex economic, social, political and religious conditions in the globe and +the fluctuations in exchange rates, the risk of investments in different countries varies +significantly. Given the highly competitive energy market worldwide, the uncertainties in the +Group's international operations may have an impact on its business. +To cope with the risk of international operations, the Group will actively respond to the +national promotion of "the Belt and Road", and conscientiously carry out overseas resource +evaluation and project assessment based on sound information analysis prior to making any +decision on overseas project investment so as to ensure economic feasibility. Furthermore, the +Company will strengthen the cultivation and introduction of interdisciplinary talents to lay a +solid cornerstone for its "Going Overseas" strategy. +Risk of natural disasters +The production and operation activities of the Group will be affected by factors including +natural disasters or bad weather. Certain particularly major natural disasters which occurred +in China in recent years had adversely affected the Group's operations to a certain extent. +Factors such as unforeseeable natural disasters and bad weather may bring certain losses to +the Group's operations. +In order to cope with the risks arising from natural disasters, the Group will further strengthen +early warnings of major natural disasters, formulate emergency plans, allocate necessary +resources and perform relevant emergency drills to ensure that the impacts of natural disasters +can be minimized. +The Group carries out centralized management of commercial property insurance with +ongoing review and assessment of risks and risk portfolio. Necessary and appropriate +adjustments which are in line with the needs and practices of the insurance industry in China +have been made to the insurance strategies and actions as safeguard against losses arising +from various exposure. +III. REASONS AND CAUSES OF FAILURE TO DISCLOSE PURSUANT TO GUIDELINES BY THE +COMPANY DUE TO NON-APPLICATION OF GUIDELINES OR SPECIAL REASONS +Applicable +✓ Not Applicable +74 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +To cope with the risk of integrated operations, the Group will take an array of measures based +on production safety, including scientific scheduling and plan management, improve railway +collection and distribution system, strengthen the coordination of power grid, and strengthen +the operation management of production equipment, with an aim at balanced production +and uninterrupted integrated operations to maximize its competitiveness. +In 2015, the Chinese government issued successive policies and measures, including the Notice +on Printing and Distribution of Water Pollution Prevention Action Plan and the Overall +Proposal of Reform of Ecological Civilization System. The businesses of coal, electric power and +coal chemicals face more stringent environmental pressure. +Risk of environmental protection +5. +Section V Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued) +On 20 January 2015, China Shenhua Overseas Capital Company Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary +of Shenhua Hong Kong Limited, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued bonds of +US$1.5 billion which were listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The proceeds would mainly be +used for the repayment of loans of overseas subsidiaries, approved overseas projects and other uses +in compliance with applicable rules. For details, please refer to Note 30 of the consolidated financial +statements of this report and the relevant announcements dated 14 January and 20 January 2015. +Based on the principles of maintaining the strict limit of investment scale and the continuity of major +construction projects, the Board approved total planned capital expenditures of 2016 of no more +than RMB20 billion, and implemented in batches. The first batch of planned capital expenditures +of 2016 amounted to RMB10.10 billion. Regarding the capital expenditures for coal segment, the +expenditures approved of mines amounted to RMB0.82 billion, and the other expenditures for +technology transformation amounted to RMB0.47 billion. Regarding the capital expenditures for +power segment, the expenditures for green technology reform of "ultra-low emission" of plants +amounted to RMB0.72 billion. +(V) +Major risks faced +Investors should be aware that although the Group has reviewed and listed the major risks, and +adopted relevant countermeasures, there is no absolute guarantee that all adverse impact could be +eliminated due to the limitation of various factors. +1. +Risk of macroeconomic fluctuations +The industry in which the Group operates is closely correlated to the prosperity of the national +economy. In 2015, the GDP of China grew by 6.9%, which was a record low since 1990. +Uncertainties will still remain amid the steady pace of the macro-economy. Such uncertainties +may materially affect the Group's results. +To cope with the risk of macroeconomic fluctuations, the Group will further strengthen the +studies on relevant industrial trends, optimize production structure, and implement strategies +of green energy to continuously upgrade the quality of development. +2015 Annual Report 71 +Section V Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued) +2. +Risk of market competition +3. +In the coal market, the coal oversupply and structural surplus will become complicated due +to relatively significant investment in the newly added production capacities and coal import +volume, structural decrease in and environmental restriction on coal consumption. In the +power market, competition in the thermal power market will somewhat intensify, mainly +attributable to the slowdown in economic growth, continuous trend of industrial growth +slowdown, weak growth in power usage nationally. In the coal chemical market, coal chemical +products will continue to decrease due to the lowering oil prices internationally. Such factors +in market competition may have adverse impacts on the Company, such as lower sales prices +of coal and coal chemical products and lower power generation than expected, and therefore +may affect the Company's business results. +In response to the risks of market competition, the Company will enhance the accuracy of +its market forecasts, optimize sales planning, coordinate and plan transportation capacity, +promote the electronic trading platform and strengthen the coordination of power grids. The +Company will also devote efforts to contingency plans and early warnings of market risks and +continuously strengthen its market risks resistance. +Risk of changes in industry policies +The Group's business activities are subject to the industrial regulatory policies in China. For +the coal industry, there are major guidelines put forward by the PRC government such as +"total consumption of primary energy to be controlled at approximately 4.8 billion tonnes +of standard coal, and total consumption of coal to be controlled at approximately 4.2 billion +tonnes by 2020", "increasing the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption in primary +energy consumption to 15%, and proportion of coal consumption to be controlled at no +more than 62% by 2020". At the beginning of 2016, the State Council issued Opinions on +Overcoming Difficulties and Development Through Solving Excess Capacity in Coal Industry +were successively issued by the State Council to propose to exit coal production capacity of +around 500 million tonnes and reduce and reorganize coal capacity of around 500 million +tonnes in the coming three to five years. For the power industry, in accordance with the " +Opinions on Further Deepening the Reform of the Power Sector" issued by the State Council +in 2015, which involves price deregulation of the competitive segment of power other than +power transmission and distribution, opening of the power allocation and sales business, +deregulation of power generation and usage plan other than those of public interest and +adjustment purposes, and promotion of relatively independent trading agencies. The above +policies may have an objective impact on the approval of the Company's new expansion and +construction projects, and reforms of operation and management models. +To cope with the risk of changes in industry policies, the Group will strengthen its research on +the latest industry policies and regulations in the PRC and promote industrial upgrading and +structural adjustment through a rational investment portfolio across the business segments +and increasing expenditure on environmental protection. +72 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Section V Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued) +4. +Risk of rising costs +As the mining process proceeds further and production conditions become increasingly +complicated, the Group's corporate mining cost may increase gradually. Furthermore, a +number of factors, including the long-term price increase of productive resources, increase in +resource and environmental constraints and changes in fiscal and taxation policies, may lead +to an increase in the Group's costs. +To cope with the risk of increasing costs, the Company will establish the value-creation +concept and strengthen the strategic cost control; optimize the cost accountability system; +strengthen taxation planning to refine cost management and improve the quality of cost +control. +In 2015, the Company issued three tranches of super short-term commercial papers, with proceeds of +RMB15 billion. +1,451 +The capital expenditure plans of the Group in 2016 are subject to the development of business +plans (including potential acquisitions), progress of investment projects, market conditions, outlook +for future operation environment and the obtaining of the requisite permissions and approval +documents. Unless required by laws, the Company shall not assume any responsibilities for updating +the data of its capital expenditure plans. The Company intends to finance its capital expenditures by +cash generated from operating activities, short-term and long-term borrowings, and other debt and +equity financing. +Revenue +As the coal market was weak, coal outbound shipment clearly fell. The coal +transportation volume through railways in China was 2.00 billion tonnes during the +year, representing a year-on-year decrease of 12.6%. The coal transportation volume +through cars increased, intensifying its competition with railway transportation. Coal +outbound shipment through major ports in China was 0.64 billion tonnes, representing +a year-on-year decrease of 5.6%. +1 +Data source: China Coal Transportation & Sale Society +2015 Annual Report 65 +66 +Section V Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued) +(2) +The coal inventory differentiated throughout the year. The coal inventory in ports +and plants significantly dropped in the second half year, while the coal inventory in +coal mines remained relatively abundant. As at 31 December, the inventories at major +ports in northern areas were 14.8 million tonnes, representing a decrease of 48.3% +as compared to that of the end of last year; the inventories at major plants was 73.6 +million tonnes, representing a decrease of 22.2% as compared to that of the end of last +year; the inventories at major coal mines in China was 0.06 billion tonnes, representing +an increase of 16.0% as compared to that of the end of last year. The low inventories at +ports and plants will benefit the stability of coal market. +Prospect for 2016 +In 2016, China's economy will grow slower and excess capacity of coal industry will +continue. Coal price is expected to remain at a low level for the year while production +volume of coal is expected to be stable with a slight decline as there will be larger scale +of deficit for coal enterprises and the production of certain coal mines will be cut or +suspended. +In accordance with the Opinions on Overcoming Difficulties and Development Through +Solving Excess Capacity in Coal Industry issued by the State Council to propose to exit +coal production capacity of around 500 million tonnes and reduce and reorganize +coal capacity of around 500 million tonnes in the coming three to five years.

By strengthening the integrated operation of coal production, +transportation and marketing, improving clean and efficient conversion and utilization of +coal and the production chain of new energies, and refining the technological system of clean +combustion and efficient conversion of coal, China Shenhua will gradually explore new room +for development, improve its comprehensive competitiveness, profitability and risk resilience, +adhere to the continuity and stability of the profit distribution policy, and dutifully assume +its social responsibility, building China Shenhua into a reputable international company and +creating greater value for its shareholders. +2015 Annual Report 69 +Section V Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued) +(III) Business Targets for 2016 +Item +Unit +Target of +2016 +Accomplishment +increase/ +in 2015 (decrease) +Commercial coal production +2.8 +2.809 +(0.3) +Coal sales +100 million tonnes +3.4 +3.705 +(8.2) +Power output dispatch +billion kwh +211.40 +210.45 +Review for 2015 +0.5 +Development Strategy of China Shenhua +With regard to the tightening regulation on energy and the environment, the potential +risks posed by environmental and ecological protection are gradually increasing. The entry +requirements for coal exploitation and coal-fired power development and standards for +energy saving, environmental protection and production safety, etc. are becoming more +stringent. Restraints on water resources and significant investment in infrastructure are the +key factors that hinder the development of the coal chemical business. +(%) +In 2016, the domestic economy will still be shifting its gears and the pace of industrial +restructuring will accelerate. It is expected that the annual electricity demand in the +primary and second industries will remain low. Nevertheless, the tertiary industry and +residential electricity consumption are expected to maintain rapid growth as driven +by economic restructuring. The electricity consumption demand growth rate in 2016 is +expected to slightly increase. +Due to the slowdown in electricity demand and rapid growth of non-fossil energy +generation capacity in the country, thermal power installed capacity increased +significantly with the utilization hours of thermal power equipment being only 4,329 +hours for the year, representing a year-on-year decrease of 410 hours which marked a +further decline. The issue of oversupply of thermal power started to appear. +The power business has encountered more difficulties in accelerating development. The +growth in demand for power will decrease as affected by the slow growth in economy; the +government accelerated the adjustment of the power structure, and imposes a strict limit on +the newly installed capacity of coal-fired power; factors such as the structural reform of the +power industry will intensify the competition in the industry. +For analysis by geographical regions, there are more surplus of power supply capacity +in the Northeast and Northwest of China, whereas there was a slight oversupply in the +North, East, Central and South China in overall, and a little tight supply of electricity in +rush hours in some areas. +2015 Annual Report 67 +Section V Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued) +(II) +Prospect for 2016 +The power supply capacity across the country will be sufficient in 2016. Thermal power +installed capacity will continue to increase. It is expected that hydropower, nuclear +power and wind power will continue to maintain their strong growth momentum. +The domestic supply of and demand for power in 2016 will continue to be stable +in general, with a slight oversupply. The structure of power usage and supply and +demand by geographical regions will align with those in the previous year. The urge for +non-fossil energy power generation as an alternative will be gradually apparent given +the growth rate of demand for electricity consumption continued to slow down with +sufficient supply capacity of thermal power. The annual utilization hours of thermal +power equipment are estimated to continue its downward trend. With the advance +of the power system reform, it will further intensify competitions among power +companies. +The government is committed to promoting energy saving and environmental +protection reconstruction of thermal power with an aim to achieve "ultra-low emissions" +by all coal-fired power plants which possess transformation conditions and newly built +coal-fired generating units by 2020, which will be favorable to the continuous +improvement of lowering air pollutant emission mostly from coal-fired units. +Meanwhile, the introduction of supportive policies by the government will provide the +pioneering coal-fired power plants which adopt ultra-low-emission technologies with a +broader market space. +1. +China Shenhua's opportunities for future development +Development Strategy of the Company +As a major energy source and industrial material, coal will remain as one of the primary +energy sources in China in the medium and long term. It offers fundamental protection of a +safe and stable supply of energy in China. The safe, green and efficient development as well as +the technology of clean, efficient and low-carbon utilization of coal can further explore the use +of coal. +The slow international economy recovery and the national economy structure under +adjustment will slacken the growth in the demand for energy, coal in particular. The +oversupply in the coal market will remain and the pressure for falling coal prices will linger. +In 2016, the new normal state of the coal industry will become further defined. The +development mode of purely relying on the expansion of output and capacity has changed, +which in turn causes changes in the market competition model. +China Shenhua's future main challenges: +The supply-side reform will accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity and +promote mergers and acquisitions of coal and electric power enterprises in order to achieve +large-scale development. New acquisitions and investment opportunities will come along with +the state's transport corridor and local railway construction. The advancement of technology +will also provide investment opportunities for promoting technology industrialization. +3. +The "the Belt and Road" strategy initiated by China provides important external opportunities +for exploring international markets, which creates enormous potential in overseas business +development. +Section V Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued) +68 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +The market share of coal-fired power generation has declined but its dominant position has +not changed.

The scope of insiders is +under strict control so as to eliminate the risk of internal information leakage. +As presented in the 2016 Annual Self-assessment Report on Internal Control of the Board, no material +defects were found in the internal control of financial reporting as at the base date of the Assessment +Report on Internal Control, pursuant to the identification of material defects in the internal control over +the financial reporting of the Company. The Board is of the opinion that the Company has maintained +effective internal control over its financial reporting in all material aspects in accordance with the +requirements under the Enterprise Internal Control Normative System and relevant regulations and its +supplementary guidelines as well as other regulatory requirements on internal control.

The Company has evaluated the effectiveness of internal control +for 2016 in accordance with the aforementioned procedures. +The objectives of the internal control of the Company are to provide reasonable assurance on lawful +operation and management, asset safety and the truthfulness and completeness of financial reports +and relevant information, to enhance operation efficiency and effectiveness, and to facilitate the +implementation of development strategies. As there are inherent limitations on internal control, assurance +can only be provided for the above objectives to a certain reasonable extent. In addition, there are +certain risks in predicting the effectiveness of future internal control based on the results of assessment +on internal control given to the inappropriate internal control or the loosened level of compliance with +policies and procedures on internal control that may be resulted by changes in different circumstances. +Section IX Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report (Continued) +2016 Annual Report 145 +Passed unanimously +61 +59 +58 +IX. +Material defects in the internal control during the reporting period: +Applicable ✓ Not applicable +DESCRIPTION OF THE AUDIT REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL +Subject matter +Attendance of +supervisors +Meeting +Venue +Date +Meeting +Method of +The 7th meeting of the third session +of the Supervisory Committee +In 2016, the Supervisory Committee held five meetings in total. +PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES OF THE SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE +I. +The Supervisory Committee of the Company had, based on the attitude of being responsible to all +shareholders, performed their supervisory duties faithfully and carried out their work proactively and +effectively to protect the lawful interests of the Company and its shareholders in accordance with the relevant +requirements under the "Company Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Articles of Association". +Section X Supervisory Committee's Report +2016 Annual Report 147 +Please refer to the relevant announcement disclosed by the Company on the website of the Shanghai +Stock Exchange on 18 March 2017 for the 2016 Assessment Report on Internal Control and Audit +Report on Internal Control. +Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Certified Public Accountants LLP, engaged by the Company, has issued +the standard unqualified Audit Report on Internal Control.

We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents +of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted +in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

If we +conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to +the related disclosures in the consolidated 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 the Group to cease to continue as a +going concern. +Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, +including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated 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 the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. +We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit.

Any changes +in management's judgement may result in significant +financial impact to the Group. +As set out in Note 15 to the consolidated financial +statements, the management concluded that the +recoverable amount of each separate cash-generating +unit was higher than their carrying value and no +impairment provision was required for the current year. +The recoverable amounts of each cash-generating unit +were determined by value in use method. +Our procedures in relation to impairment +assessment on coal mines related non-current +assets included: +• testing the key controls related to the +assessment on the carrying value of its non- +current assets; +• assessing the valuation methodology; +• analysing and challenging the reasonableness +of significant judgements and estimates +built in the underlying cash flows used in +management's impairment tests based on our +knowledge of the business and industry; +• +analysing and reviewing the specific discount +rates used by management in impairment +tests; +evaluating the sensitivity analysis performed +by management; +comparing the current year actual results with +the 2016 figures included in the prior years +forecast; and +• reconciling input data to supporting evidence, +such as approved budgets and considering the +reasonableness of these budgets. +We communicate with those charged with governance 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. +We also provide those charged with governance 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 those charged with governance, we determine those matters that +were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated 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 engagement partner on

Specifically, the Standard +introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition: +IFRS 15 was issued which establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for +revenue arising from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition +guidance including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related Interpretations when +it becomes effective. +2,925 +IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Continued) +New and revised IFRSS not yet effective and not early adopted (Continued) +2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING +STANDARDS ("IFRSS") (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2016 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +2016 Annual Report 171 +Based on the Group's financial instruments and risk management policies as at 31 December 2016, +application of IFRS 9 in the future may have a material impact on the classification and measurement of +the Group's financial assets. The Group's available-for-sale investments, including those currently stated +at cost less impairment, will either be measured as fair value through profit or loss or be designated as +FVTOCI (subject to fulfillment of the designation criteria). In addition, the expected credit loss model may +resulted in early provision of credit losses which are not yet incurred in relation to the Group's financial +assets measured at amortised cost. +in relation to the impairment of financial assets, IFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss model, as +opposed to an incurred credit loss model under IAS 39. The expected credit loss model requires +an entity to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at +each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. In other words, it is no +longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised. +with regard to the measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit +or loss, IFRS 9 requires that the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that +is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive +income, unless the recognition of effects of changes in the liability's credit risk in other +comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes +in fair value of financial liabilities attributable to a financial liability's credit risk are not subsequently +reclassified to profit or loss. Under IAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the +financial liability designated as fair value through profit or loss is presented in profit or loss. +all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of IFRS 9 are required to be subsequently +measured at amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a +business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual +cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are +generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods.

Specially, the amendments require the following changes in liabilities +arising from financing activities to be disclosed: (i) changes from financing cash flows; (ii) changes arising +from obtaining or losing control of subsidiaries or other businesses; (iii) the effect of changes in foreign +exchange rates; (iv) changes in fair values; and (v) other changes. +IAS 7 Disclosure Initiative +As disclosed in Note 39.2, total operating lease commitments for the Group as at 31 December 2016 +amounted to RMB68 million, the Directors do not expect the application of IFRS 16 would result in +significant impact on the Group's results but it is expected that these lease commitments will be +required to be recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position as right-of-use assets and +lease liabilities. +In respect of the lessor accounting, IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting +requirements in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or +finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently. +IFRS 16, which upon the effective date will supersede IAS 17 Leases, introduces a single lessee +accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of +more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Specifically, under IFRS 16, a lessee +is required to recognise a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset +and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. Accordingly, a lessee should +recognise depreciation of the right-of-use asset and interest on the lease liability, and also classifies +cash repayments of the lease liability into a principal portion and an interest portion and presents them +as financing in the statement of cash flows. Also, the right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost +and subsequently measured at cost (subject to certain exceptions) less accumulated depreciation and +impairment losses, adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially +measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The measurement +includes non-cancellable lease payments and also includes payments to be made in optional periods if +the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease, or not to exercise an option to +terminate the lease. This accounting treatment is significantly different from the lessee accounting for +leases that are classified as operating leases under the predecessor standard, IAS 17. +IFRS 16 Leases +New and revised IFRSS not yet effective and not early adopted (Continued) +APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING +STANDARDS ("IFRSS") (Continued) +2. +For the year ended 31 December 2016 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +172 +The Directors anticipate that the application of IFRS 15 in the future may result in more disclosures, +however, the Directors do not anticipate that the application of IFRS 15 will have a material impact on +the timing and amounts of revenue recognised in the respective reporting periods. +Under IFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. +when "control" of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred +to the customer.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary +differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences +to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible +temporary differences can be utilised.

When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the +investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 as a single asset by +comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) with its +carrying amount. Any impairment loss is recognised when the recoverable amount is less the current +value of the investment in associates. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance +with IAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases. +On acquisition of the investment in an associate, any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's +share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill, +which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group's share of the +net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of investment, after reassessment, is +recognised immediately in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired. +The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial +statements using the equity method of accounting. The financial statements of associates used for +equity accounting purposes are prepared using uniform accounting policies as those of the Group for +like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Under the equity method, an investment in an +associate is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted +thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of +the associate. When the Group's share of losses of an associate exceeds the Group's interest in that +associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net +investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses.

For goodwill arising on an acquisition +in a reporting period, the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for +impairment before the end of that reporting period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating +unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount +of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit on a pro-rata basis based on +the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in +profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. +For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units +(or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. +Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition +of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any. +Goodwill +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +3. +An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence.

Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence +that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, +the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected. The objective evidence of +impairment could include: +Derecognition of financial assets +Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill +Where an indication of impairment exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. An asset's +recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and +is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely +independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is +determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. +An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable +amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value +using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and +the risks specific to the asset for which the future cash flow estimates have not been adjusted. An +impairment loss is charged to the profit or loss as other gains and losses. +Other than the freehold land and mining structures and mining rights, property, plant and +equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, +after taking into account the estimated residual value. The Group reviews the estimated useful +lives and residual value of the assets regularly based on the Group's historical experience with +similar assets and taking into account anticipated technological changes.

The realisation of the deferred tax assets mainly depends +on whether sufficient future profits or taxable temporary differences will be available in the future. +In cases where the actual future profits generated are less or more than expected, a material +reversal or further provision of deferred tax assets may arise, which will be recognised in profit or +loss in the period in which such a reversal or further provision takes place. +2016 Annual Report 191 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2016 +4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION +UNCERTAINTY (Continued) +5. +4.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty (Continued) +Obligations for land reclamation +The estimation of the liabilities for final reclamation and mine closure involves the estimates of the +amount and timing for the future cash spending as well as the discount rate used for reflecting +current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The +Group considers the factors including development plan of the mines, the geological structure of +the mining regions and reserve volume to determine the scope, amount and timing of reclamation +and mine closure works to be performed. Determination of the effect of these factors involves +judgements from the Group and the estimated liabilities may turn out to be different from the +actual expenditure to be incurred. The discount rate used by the Group may also be altered to +reflect the changes in the market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific +to the liability, such as change of the borrowing rate and inflation rate in the market. As changes +in estimates occur (such as mine plan revisions, changes in estimated costs, or changes in timing +of the performance of reclamation activities), the revisions to the obligation will be recognised at +the appropriate discount rate. The carrying amounts of the obligations are disclosed in Note 34. +REVENUE +Depreciation +Coal revenue +Power revenue +Transportation revenue +Coal chemical revenue +Year ended 31 December +2016 +RMB million +2015 +RMB million +98,126 +82,726 +68,935 +71,347 +4,610 +3,827 +4,293 +5,005 +Other revenue +197 +Notwithstanding that the Group has used all available information to make this estimation, +inherent uncertainty exists and actual write-offs may be higher or lower than the amount estimated. +The carrying amounts of the property, plant and equipment, construction in progress and interest +in associates are disclosed in Note15, 16 and 19, respectively. +In considering the impairment losses that may be required for certain of the Group's assets which +include property, plant and equipment, construction in progress and interest in associates, the +recoverable amount of the asset needs to be determined. The recoverable amount is the higher +of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. It is difficult to precisely estimate fair value +because quoted market prices for these assets may not be readily available. In determining the +value in use, the Group uses all readily available information in determining expected cash flows +generated by the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs and they are discounted to their +present value, which requires significant judgement relating to cash flow items such as level of +sale volume, selling price, amount of operating costs and future returns. +An assessment is made at the end of each reporting year as to whether there is any indication that +previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an +indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an +asset is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable +amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been +determined (net of any depreciation/amortisation), had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset +in prior years. A reversal of such an impairment loss is credited to the profit or loss in the year in which it +arises. +CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION +UNCERTAINTY +In the application of the Group's accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, the Directors are +required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and +liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions +are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results +may differ from these estimates. +The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting +estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that +period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future +periods. +2016 Annual Report 189 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2016 +4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION +UNCERTAINTY (Continued) +4.1 Critical judgements in applying accounting policies +The following are critical judgements, apart from those involving estimation (see Note 4.2 below), +that the Directors have made in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies and +that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial +statements. +Control over Hebei Guohua Dingzhou Power Co., Ltd. ("Dingzhou Power") +Note 43 describes that Dingzhou Power is a subsidiary of the Company although the Company +has only 41% ownership interest and voting rights in Dingzhou Power. The remaining 59% of +ownership interest and voting rights are owned by two shareholders that are unrelated to the +Group as to 19% and 40%, respectively. Details of Dingzhou Power are set out in Note 43. +In considering the impairment losses that may be required for current receivables and other +financial assets, future cash flows need to be determined. One of the key assumptions that has +to be applied is about the ability of the debtors to settle the receivables. +In making their judgement, the Directors considered that the other shareholders of Dingzhou +Power offered the Company, for the right on appointment of the majority members of the board +of directors which is the governing body of most of the relevant activities of Dingzhou Power +whilst some relevant activities require shareholders' approval. The Company considers it has the +practical ability to direct the relevant activities that most significantly affect Dingzhou Power's +returns unilaterally. After assessment, the Directors concluded that the Company has sufficiently +dominant power over the board of directors of Dingzhou Power and therefore the Company has +control over Dingzhou Power. +The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation +uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material +adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. +Coal reserves +Engineering estimates of the Group's coal reserves are inherently imprecise and represent +only approximate amounts because of the subjective judgements involved in developing such +information. There are authoritative guidelines regarding the engineering criteria that have to be +met before estimated coal reserves can be designated as "proved" and "probable". Proved and +probable coal reserve estimates are updated at regular basis and have taken into account recent +production and technical information of each mine. In addition, as prices and cost levels change +from year to year, the estimate of proved and probable coal reserves also changes. This change +is considered as a change in estimate for accounting purposes and is reflected on a prospective +basis in related depreciation rates. +Despite the inherent imprecision in these engineering estimates, these estimates are used in +determining depreciation expenses and impairment loss. Depreciation rates are determined based +on estimated proved and probable coal reserve quantity (the denominator) and capitalised costs of +mining structures and mining rights (the numerator). The capitalised cost of mining structures and +mining rights are amortised based on the units of coal produced. +190 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2016 +4. +CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION +UNCERTAINTY (Continued) +4.2 +Key sources of estimation uncertainty (Continued) +Impairment losses +4.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty +275 5,304 4,856 +Depreciation and amortisation +7,936 +34,520 +41,253 +104 +(515) +(215) +154 +34,631 +41,614 +Profit before income tax +177,069 +183,127 +(57,833) +(65,830) +1,838 +2,237 +Interest expenses +5,304 +4,856 +1,920 +428 +4,468 +24,388 +23,754 +333 +236 +24,721 +233,064 +23,990 +211 +422 +26 +5,062 +(2,871) +(2,162) +2,483 +Share of results of associates +246,720 +Depreciation and amortisation +2015 +8 +391 +24 153 +50 +Share of results of associates +903 24,388 23,754 +938 +7 +285 +922 +1,037 +3,887 +4,635 +8,477 +Revenue +9,280 +292 +- +9,550 +Impairment loss +211 422 +Consolidated +2016 +inter-segment amounts +2016 +2015 +2016 +RMB million RMB million RMB million RMB million RMB million RMB million +2015 +Elimination of amounts +segment amounts +2016 +2015 +RMB million RMB million +Reportable +Unallocated head office +and corporate items +6.2 +2,771 5,774 +60 +31 +2 879 +3,076 1,855 1,819 +823 +Reconciliations of reportable segment revenue, segment profit and other items of +profit or loss for the years ended 31 December 2016 and 2015 are set out below: +2016: SEIZING MARKET OPPORTUNITIES, OPTIMISING OPERATION UNITS AND +CREATING FAVORABLE OPERATING RESULTS +On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to present the 2016 annual report of China Shenhua and to report to all +shareholders on the Company's performance for the period. +In 2016, the national economy has been steady amidst slowdown trend and improved smoothly.

In addition, the Group reviews the +recoverable amount of each individual trade debt on regular basis and at the end of the reporting +period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In respect +of the risk arising from the provision of financial guarantees, the management of the Group +continuously monitors the credit quality and financial conditions of the guaranteed parties that +the Group issued financial guarantee contracts in favor of to ensure that the Group will not suffer +significant credit losses as a result of the failure of the guaranteed parties on the repayment of +the relevant loans. In this regard, the Directors consider that the Group's credit risk is significantly +reduced. +The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with good +reputation. +Other than concentration of credit risk on liquid funds which are deposited with several banks +with good reputation, the Group does not have any other significant concentration of credit risk. +Accounts receivables consist of a large number of customers, which spread across diverse +industries and located in the PRC. +Deposits from Shenhua Group and fellow subsidiaries (note (i)) +Other accrued expenses and payables (note (ii)) +Liquidity risk +The Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to fixed-rate loan and +receivables, borrowings, short-term debenture, medium-term notes and bonds (see +Notes 25, 29 and 30).

In order to maintain or adjust +the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital +to shareholders or issue new shares to reduce debts. +The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio which is total liabilities divided by total assets. The +Group aims to maintain the gearing ratio at a reasonable level. The Group's gearing ratio as at 31 +December 2016 was 33% (2015: 35%). +There were no changes in the Group's approach to capital management compared with previous years. +37.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Continued) +39.3 Financial guarantees issued +At 31 December 2016, the Group had issued certain guarantees in respect of certain banking +facilities granted to an entity which the Group held less than 20% equity interest. The maximum +amount guaranteed is RMB191 million (2015: RMB197 million). +39.4 Legal contingencies +The Group is the defendant in certain lawsuits as well as the plaintiff in other proceedings arising +in the ordinary course of business. While the outcomes of such contingencies, lawsuits or other +proceedings cannot be determined at present, management believes that any resulting liabilities +will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or operating results of the Group. +39.5 Environmental contingencies +To date, the Group has not incurred any significant expenditure for environmental remediation, +is currently not involved in any environmental remediation, and apart from the provision for land +reclamation costs, has not accrued any further amounts for environmental remediation relating +to its operations. Under the existing legislation, management believes that there are no probable +liabilities that will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or operating results of the +Group. The regulatory bodies, however, have moved, and may move further towards the adoption +of more stringent environmental standards. Environmental liabilities are subject to considerable +uncertainties which affect the Group's ability to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation efforts. +These uncertainties include (i) the exact nature and extent of the contamination at various sites +including, but not limited to coal mines and land development areas, whether operating, closed +or sold; (ii) the extent of required cleanup efforts; (iii) varying costs of alternative remediation +strategies; (iv) changes in environmental remediation requirements; and (v) the identification of +new remediation sites. The amount of such future cost is indeterminable due to such factors as +the unknown magnitude of possible contamination and the unknown timing and extent of the +corrective actions that may be required. Accordingly, the outcome of environmental liabilities +under future environmental legislation cannot reasonably be estimated at present, and could be +material. +40. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLAN +In addition to a minimal defined benefit plan operated by its subsidiary, the Group participates, in line +with the regulations of the PRC, mainly in various defined contribution retirement plans organised by +municipal and provincial governments for its employees. The Group is required to make contributions +to the retirement plans at 20% of the salaries, bonuses and certain allowances of the employees. In +addition, as approved by the government, the Group makes contribution to a supplemental defined +contribution pension plan for its employees. The fund is managed by a qualified fund manager. The +Group has no other material obligation for the payment of pension benefits associated with these plans +beyond the annual contributions described above. The Group's contributions for the year ended 31 +December 2016 were RMB2,728 million (2015: RMB2,791 million). +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2016 +41.

The Chinese government will further push forward the supply-side reform +of the coal industry. The dynamic balance between demand and supply of coal will +be safeguarded by the elimination of backward production capacity, adjustment to +the production volume and other measures in response to changes in demand and +prices. It is expected that the annual coal supply will undergo dynamic fluctuation +under the influence of the policies. +Under the influence of certain factors including the seasonal relationship between +supply and demand of coal in the PRC and transportation cost, it is expected that the +coal import volume will remain at a proper scale throughout the year. +The demand for thermal coal is expected to experience seasonal fluctuation. +Under the dual adjustments of demand and the government, the market will be +gradually rationalised and the demand and supply has been balanced with a slight +overcapacity. The price will be subject to volatility based on the contract coal price. +Thermal coal market in the Asia Pacific region +Review of 2016 +3. +2016 Annual Report 71 +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +There is a decrease in total export volume of major coal exporters in 2016. Australia +exported 380 million tonnes of coal, representing a year-on-year decrease of 2.3%. +Indonesia exported 310 million tonnes of coal, representing a year-on-year decrease +of 16.3%. The United States exported 50 million tonnes of coal, representing +a year-on-year decrease of 23%. Russia exported 170 million tonnes of coal, +representing a year-on-year increase of 5.8%. +Affected by the increase in coal production volume in India, the import of thermal +coal experienced a downward trend with a cumulative import volume of 200 million +tonnes of coal during the year, representing a year-on-year decrease of 2.6%. The +import scales of Japan and Korea were basically stable. Japan imported 190 million +tonnes of coal, representing a year-on-year decrease of 0.5% whereas Korea +imported 140 million tonnes of coal, representing a year-on-year increase of 1.2%. +Prospects for 2017 +In 2017, there will be a sufficient supply of goal. The implementation of China +Australia Free Trade Agreement is beneficial to the coal export of Australia. Despite +the impact of exchange rate and the decrease in domestic coal demand, the coal +export of Russia will increase steadily. By virtue of the increase of domestic demand +of thermal coal in Indonesia, the coal export is expected to decrease. Given the +decrease in production volume in the United States and other factors, the coal export +will remain relatively sluggish. +China and India will remain as the major consumers of coal. Demand for thermal +coal in India will remain at a relatively high level, and yet, with the significant growth +in production volume of coal in the nation, the export volume will experience a +downturn. Coal import volume in Japan, South Korea and other countries is expected +to remain stable. +Impacted by the slackened global economy growth, structural adjustment of energy, +slow energy consumption growth and other factors, it is expected that coal demand +in 2017 will decrease steadily and the price of thermal coal will drop. +The coal inventory level decreased. As of the end of 2016, the coal inventories at +major ports in northern areas, major coal enterprises and major power plants were +175.8 million tonnes in aggregate, representing a decrease of 37.0 million tonnes or +26.6% compared with the beginning of the year. +Market environment of the power industry +The coal transportation volume through railways in China was 1,900 million tonnes +during the year, representing a year-on-year decrease of 4.7%.

The accumulated import volume of coal for the +year amounted to 256 million tonnes, representing a year-on-year increase of 25.2%. +70 +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +Consumption volume of coal in the PRC in 2016 decreased by 4.7% year-on-year +following the decrease for two consecutive years. In the main coal consumption +downstream industry, the coal consumption of power and chemical industries +increased year-on-year while the coal consumption of iron and steel and building +material industries still declined compared with the same period of last year. +change +Review for 2016 +72 +The market share of coal-fired power generation has declined but its dominant position +has not changed. As clean and efficient coal-fired power generation technology keeps +improving, the competitiveness of high-quality thermal power will be enhanced, which in +turn provides a key support for the development of the industry. +The concept of "the Belt and Road" strategy initiated by China provides important external +opportunities for exploring international markets, which creates enormous potential in +overseas business development. +The supply-side reform will accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity +and promote mergers and acquisitions of coal and electric power enterprises in order to +achieve large-scale and clean development. New acquisitions and investment opportunities +will come along with the state's transport corridor and local railway construction. The +advancement of technology will also provide investment opportunities for promoting +technology industrialization. +74 +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +2. +China Shenhua's future main challenges: +3. +In 2017, the new normal state of the coal industry will become defined. The development +mode of coal industry on the expansion of output and capacity has changed, which in turn +causes changes in the market competition model. +The slow international economy recovery and the national economy structure under +adjustment will slacken the growth in the demand for energy, including coal. The coal +market will fluctuate and the pressure for falling coal prices will linger in long term despite +the recovery of coal price in 2016. +The power business has encountered more difficulties in accelerating development. The +growth in demand for power will decrease as affected by the slow growth in economy; the +government accelerated the adjustment of the power structure, and imposes a strict limit +on the newly installed capacity of coal-fired power; factors such as the structural reform of +the power industry will intensify the competition in the industry. +With regard to the tightening regulation on energy and the environment, the potential +risks posed by environmental and ecological protection are gradually increasing. The entry +requirements for coal exploitation and coal-fired power development and standards for +energy saving, environmental protection and production safety, etc. are becoming more +stringent. Restraints on water resources and significant investment in infrastructure are the +key factors that affect the development of the coal chemical business. +Development Strategy of China Shenhua +China Shenhua will step up the implementation of the clean energy development +strategy. Focusing on the goal of "building itself into a world first-class supplier of +clean energy", China Shenhua will accelerate the change in the concept and mode of +development and facilitate the four developments, namely "safe development, transitional +development, innovative development and harmonious development", and achieve the +"five enhancements", namely "enhancing the quality and efficiency of development, +the standards of management, the capability of internationalization, the soft power of +the enterprise and the ability to fulfill social responsibilities." With the emphasis on +optimising and strengthening the integrated operation model based on the concept +of clean development, China Shenhua will reinforce coal sales to promote clean coal +products, develop signature products for Shenhua, strengthen the integrated operation of +coal production, transportation and marketing, improve the production chain of clean and +efficient exploration, utilisation and conversion of coal, and refine the technological system +of clean combustion and efficient conversion of coal to form a reliable income source. +Furthermore, China Shenhua will initiate new businesses in line with the direction of future +development, progressively develop overseas business and actively reach out to the +power sales market. Also, it will launch the macroscopic logistics business provided that +its transportation capacity meets its demand, so as to explore new room for development +and create new points of profit growth. Through the implementation of clean energy +strategy, China Shenhua improves its comprehensive competitiveness, profitability and risk +resilience, adhere to the continuity and stability of the profit distribution policy, and dutifully +assume its social responsibility, building China Shenhua into a reputable international +company and creating greater value for its shareholders. +As a major energy source and industrial material, coal will remain as one of the primary +energy sources in China in the medium and long term. It offers fundamental protection +of a safe and stable supply of energy in China. The safe, green and efficient development +as well as the technology of clean, efficient and low-carbon utilisation of coal can further +explore the use of coal. +The installed capacity of the power generation generators nationwide will continue +to increase. As at the end of 2016, the power generation generators of power plants +nationwide with an installed capacity of 6,000kW or above reached 1.65 billion kW, +representing a growth of 8.2% as compared with the end of last year, of which the +installed capacity of thermal power was 1.05 billion kW, representing a growth of 5.3% +and a year-on-year decrease of 2.5 percentage points in growth rate. The installed capacity +of power generation by non-fossil energy such as hydropower and nuclear power will +continue to increase with a high speed. +China Shenhua's opportunities for future development +Development Strategy of the Company +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +4. +Thermal power generation by power plants above the scale in the PRC amounted to +4,395.8 billion kWh, representing a year-on-year growth of 2.6%; while hydropower +generation amounted to 1,051.8 billion kWh, representing a year-on-year growth of 5.9%. As +influenced by the relative overcapacity of thermal power generation, the increase in power +generation capacity by non-fossil energy and other factors, the utilisation hours of thermal +power generators was 4,165 hours during the year, representing a year-on-year decrease +of 199 hours and being a new low since 1964; the average utilisation hours of hydropower +and wind power generators remained a year-on-year increase. +The nationwide demand and supply of power was generally on ease. There was a balanced +demand and supply of power in northern region and an easing demand and supply of +power in eastern, central and southern regions in general, while there was sufficient power +supply in northeastern and northwestern regions. +Prospects for 2017 +In 2017, in consideration of factors including the macro economy and the expected growth +in power consumption of the service industry and for domestic use, it is expected that the +demand of power consumption for the year will remain at a growing momentum. +In 2017, the power supply nationwide will be adequate. It is expected that the momentum +of rapid increase of installed capacity of thermal power generators will be under effective +control and the proportion of installed capacity of power generation by non-fossil energy +will further increase. +The demand and supply of power nationwide in 2017 will remain at the overall stagnant +trend and the power consumption structure and regional demand and supply distribution +will remain basically the same as last year. It is expected that the utilisation hours of +thermal power generators for the year will continue to experience a year-on-year downturn +under the influence of the increase in power generation capacity by non-fossil energy and +other factors. By virtue of the rise of coal-fired power generation costs, thermal power +generation enterprises will encounter more severe difficulties and challenges. +Impact of the "Thirteen Five-Year" Plan on Coal and Electricity Market +Adhering to the "clean, low-carbon, efficient and concentrated" principal determined +by the "Thirteen Five-Year" Plan for the Development of Coal Industry, excessive and +obsolete production capacity will be eliminated by approximately 800 million tonnes per +year while advanced production capacity will be increased by 500 million tonnes per year +through replacement of existing capacities with less amount and layout optimisation during +the "Thirteen Five-Year" Plan Period, hence the production capacity of coal is expected +to reach 3.9 billion tonnes by 2020. The country strives to further centralise the national +coal production and development towards large-scale coal production bases and further +optimise the coal production structure in order to further raise the degree of concentration +of the industry. Meanwhile, the construction of intelligent coal mines and eco-civilized +mining areas will be proactively pushed forward to enhance the quality and the clean and +efficient use of coal products, which enables the clean development and utilisation of coal +to enter into a new stage. It is expected that, by the end of the "Thirteen Five-Year" Plan +Period, the overcapacity coal industry will be further mitigated with a more balanced +market demand and supply and a significantly optimised industry structure, and substantive +progress will be achieved for transformation to clean and efficient coal utilisation in the coal +industry. +(II) +2016 Annual Report 73 +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +According to the "Thirteen Five-Year" Plan for the Development of Electricity, by 2020, +the proportion of the installed capacity of power generators of non-fossil energy will +be approximately 39%, representing a year-on-year increase of 4 percentage points as +compared with that of 2015, while the proportion of power generation will increase to +31%, and the effects of alternative power generation by non-fossil energy will further +emerge. Acceleration in the transformation and upgrade of coal power generation, +stringent control on planning and construction of coal power plants and reasonable control +on the construction progress of coal power generation base are necessary for promoting +the transformation and upgrade of coal power generation and the orderly development of +clean coal utilisation. During the "Thirteen Five-Year" Plan Period, the scale of the installed +capacity of coal power generators nationwide is strived to be controlled within 1.1 billion kW +and the proportion will decrease to approximately 55% while the postponement and +cancelation of coal power construction projects exceed 150 million kW. It is expected that +the rapid growth in installed capacity of thermal power generators will be subject to change +during the period of "Thirteen Five-Year" Plan, and the coal-fired power plants which firstly +complete the clean transformation will have a space for survival and development among +the market competition. +1. +2015 +In 2016, as the economic recovery failed to meet the expectation and the structural +adjustment in energy sector continued to be advanced, coal demand in countries +with traditionally high coal consumption dropped as a whole. Affected by influence of +certain factors including the decrease in production volume of major coal producing +countries, the supply in global coal market shrunk further while the international +coal price rose under fluctuation. The spot price of Newcastle NEWC thermal coal +increased from US$49.11/tonne at the beginning of the year to US$94.44/tonne at +the end of the year. +2016 +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +C. +Approval of loans during the reporting period +Unit: RMB million +Item +2016 +Amount of contracted loans +10,620 +Amount of granted loans (including discounted assets) Note +8,082 +Of which: amount of guaranteed loans +(including discounted assets) Note +Amount of rejected loans +/ +Note: The amount of granted loans refers to the balance as at 31 December 2016 of the loans +granted in the current year in connection with the loans contracts signed in 2016. +2016 Annual Report 67 +Co., Ltd. +1,000 +Inner Mongolia Dayan Mining Industry Group +2,129 +7 +Shenhua Ganquan Railway Co., Ltd. +1,857 +8 +Shenhua Guoneng Jiaozuo Power Plant +1,500 +(IX) Structured Vehicle Controlled by the Company +Company Limited +Year-on-year +1,000 +10 +China Shenhua Coal Liquefaction and Chemical +1,000 +Company Limited +11 +9 +(X) +Shenhua Group Corporation Limited +Environmental Policies and Performance +In 2017, Chinese economy is still confronted with various uncertainties.

Affected by supply-side reform policy of the industry and +seasonal factors, however, the supply and demand fluctuated greatly in the market. +Coal mines in the PRC have implemented a system of 276 working days each year +since 1 May. Therefore, the coal supply volume was restrained. The coal market +has turned to a direction in favourable to the supplier, and thus, the coal price has +rallied. When entering the third quarter, both the production of thermal power and +demand for thermal coal increased. The supply and demand of coal turned within a +short period from basically balanced to a tight supply in certain districts with rapidly +increasing coal price. In order to suppress the excessive growth of coal price, the +Government orderly utilised safe and advanced production capacity of high efficiency +since 1 October 2016. Since November, with the gradual utilisation of advanced +production capacity, a tight supply of coal resources in certain districts has been +alleviated to some extent and the coal price has decreased slightly. As of the end +of 2016, the price index of Bohai Bay thermal coal (5,500 kcal) was RMB593/tonne, +increasing by RMB222/tonne compared with the beginning of the year (RMB371/ +tonne).

Regarding the capital expenditures for power segment, the expenditures for +the construction of new projects and expansion projects (inclusive of equipment procurement) +amounted to approximately RMB10.29 billion, and the expenditures for green technology reform +of "ultra-low emission" of plants amounted to approximately RMB0.66 billion. +2016 Annual Report 77 +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +The Company has established a closed-loop risk management system: it will perform risk +identification and determine the major risks upon assessment at the beginning of each year, +then monitor such risks on a daily basis by way of specialized inspection, internal audit, quarterly +report of subsidiaries and branches and other methods, and assess its major risk management +at the year end. This facilitates and improves the decision-making process, refines the internal +control system, and continues to raise the risk management standard. The Board and the +Audit Committee of the Company is of the view that such mechanism is able to assess the +effectiveness of the operation of the risk management of the Company. Investors should be +aware that although the Company has reviewed and listed the major risks, and adopted relevant +countermeasures, there is no absolute guarantee that all adverse impact could be eliminated due +to the limitation of various factors. +1. +2. +Risk of macroeconomic fluctuations +The industry in which the Group operates closely correlated to the prosperity of the +national economy. In 2016, the GDP of China grew by 6.7%, which was a record low since +1990. Uncertainties will still remain amid the steady pace of the macro-economy, which +may materially affect the Group's results. +To cope with the risk of macroeconomic fluctuations, the Group will further strengthen +the studies on relevant industrial trends, optimise production structure, and implement +strategies of green energy to continuously upgrade the quality of development. +Risk of market competition +In the coal market, China intended to eliminate production capacity of 150 million tonnes in +2017 at a reasonable pace of eliminating excessive capacities while ensuring the effective +transition between those capacities with the following resources and stable coal supply +to prevent any abnormal fluctuation of coal price beyond the reasonable range. There will +be oversupply in the market in 2017 in general. In the power market, under the inevitable +oversupply in installed power capacity in short term due to the slowdown in economic +growth and sluggish growth in the total power consumption of the society, the power +reform and the opening of power generation planning in 2017 will result in intensified +competition and declining transaction prices in the thermal market. In the coal chemical +market, it is affected relatively by exchange rate fluctuations and swinging international +crude oil prices. Such factors may lead to adverse impacts on the Company, such as lower +sales prices of coal, coal chemical products and lower power generation than expected, +indications of impairment on relevant assets, and therefore may affect the Company's +business results. +In response to the risks of market competition, the Company will reinforce the efforts on +its coal market research and judgment and proactively respond to the price changes. With +further implementation of the requirements of power reform, new regional power sales +companies will be established when appropriate to actively participate in the pilot reform. +Furthermore, it will adhere to a balanced sales and control its inventory on coal chemical +product at a reasonable level. Last but not least, it will promptly perform impairment +assessment and make relevant provision for impairment in accordance with applicable +accounting standards, so as to reflect the status of the Company's assets in an objective +and fair manner. +78 +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +3. +Risk of changes in industry policies +The Group's business activities are subject to the industrial regulatory policies in China. +According to the national "Thirteen Five-Year" Plan for Energy published at the beginning +of 2017, the total energy consumption shall be controlled at no more than 5.0 billion tonnes +of standard coal by 2020. According to the "Thirteen Five-Year" Plan for Ecosystem issued +by the State Council on at the end of 2016, the proportion of coal consumption to the total +energy consumption shall be reduced from 62.6% in 2016 to below 58% by 2020. For +2017, China demands the total consumption of primary energy to be controlled at 4.4 billion +tonnes of standard coal, the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption to total primary +energy consumption to be raised to 14.3%, and the proportion of coal consumption to be +reduced to approximately 60%. Currently, the nationwide power supply has entered into +the stage of "relative oversupply". In 2016 and 2017, the National Energy Administration +issued the Notice on Further Regulation on Coal-fired Power Generation Planning and +Construction and the Notice on Further Improvement of Approved Construction of +Coal-fired Projects and other documents to strict control on planning and construction of +coal-fired power generation, regulate on the sequence of coal-fired power operation and +construction and exact regulation on the projects in compliance with laws and regulations. +To cope with the risk of changes in industry policies, the Group will strengthen its research +on the latest industry policies and regulations in the PRC and promote industrial upgrading +and structural adjustment through a rational investment portfolio across the business +segments and further regulating on projects approval and construction works of the Group. +Risk of rising costs +As the mining process proceeds further and production conditions become increasingly +complicated, the Group's corporate mining cost may increase gradually. Furthermore, a +number of factors, including the long-term price increase of productive resources, increase +in resource and environmental constraints and changes in fiscal and taxation policies, may +lead to an increase in the Group's costs. +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +76 +4. +169.5 +293.8 +Total +Unit: RMB100 million +Accomplishment +Plans for 2017 +Total amount +Of which: +first batch +17.6 +58.3 +109.5 +178.3 +41.6 +in 2016 +38.2 +55.7 +0.5 +0.0 +0.8 +0.1 +1.0 +0.4 +17.4 +3.0 +38.2 +350 +(b) +(c) +Hardware and software equipment and related services: market price (including +tender and bidding price); +(d) +(e) +Rail transportation: price prescribed by NDRC or other related government +competent authorities; +Construction: where tender and bidding process is necessary under applicable +laws and regulations, the price ultimately determined in accordance with +the tender and bidding process; where tender and bidding process is not +necessary under applicable laws, the market price; +Oil products: government-guided price; +Alternative power generation: price prescribed by NDRC or other related +government competent authorities; +(a) +Tendering services: price prescribed by NDRC; +Chemical products: market price; +(g) Production equipment and spare parts, office products: market price; +(h) +(i) +(j) +(k) +In addition to the above, for certain types of product or service, specific pricing policy +adopted as follows: +(1) +(m) +(f) +Section VI Significant Events (Continued) +Price prescribed by the state if applicable; when there is no state-prescribed price, +the state-guidance price should be applied; where there is neither a state-prescribed +price nor a state-guidance price, the market price (including bidding price); where +there is no comparable market price from independent third parties, transaction +prices can be determined with reference to the prices of non-connected transactions +between a connected party and a third party independent thereof (or the prices of +non-connected transaction between Shenhua Group Corporation and a third party +independent thereof); where none of the above is applicable or where it is not +practical to apply the above pricing policies in reality, the price shall be the contractual +price. +94 +(5) +Technical consulting services: agreed price with a profit margin of +approximately 10%; +The quantity of coal; and +(6) +The transportation fees. +2016 Annual Report 93 +Section VI Significant Events (Continued) +B. +Mutual Supplies and Services Agreement +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +On 22 March 2013, the Company entered into the Mutual Supplies and Services +Agreement with Shenhua Group Corporation.

The Supervisory Committee is responsible for the supervision on the +internal control system established and implemented by the Board, while the management level +is responsible for the organization and guidance of the daily operation of internal control within the +enterprise. +The objectives of the internal control of the Company are to provide reasonable assurance on +lawful operation and management, asset safety and the truthfulness and completeness of +financial reports and relevant information, to enhance operation efficiency and effectiveness, and +to facilitate the implementation of development strategies. As there are inherent limitations on +internal control, assurance can only be provided for the above objectives to a certain reasonable +extent. In addition, there are certain risks in predicting the effectiveness of future internal control +based on the results of assessment on internal control given to the inappropriate internal control +or the loosened level of compliance with policies and procedures on internal control that may be +resulted by changes in different circumstances. +2018 Annual Report 165 +166 +An internal control supervision and inspection mechanism was formed to conduct evaluation on +internal control on annual basis. Procedures for internal control evaluation include: formulating +a proposal for internal control evaluation, establishing a working committee of internal control +inspection, conducting self-evaluation on internal control, conducting evaluation on internal +control by inspectors, communicating and identifying deficiencies in internal control, rectifying +deficiencies in internal control and preparing report on internal control. The Company has +evaluated the effectiveness of internal control for 2018 in accordance with the aforementioned +procedures. +The 2018 Proposal for Internal Control Evaluation of the Company was considered and approved +by the Audit Committee under the Board, and the 2018 Annual Report on Internal Control +Evaluation was considered and approved by the Board. The Board and the Audit Committee of the +Company are of the view that such inspection and supervision mechanism is able to evaluate the +effectiveness of internal control and risk management operation of the Company. +According to the evaluation, during the reporting period, all businesses and matters involving +major risks have been included in the scope of evaluation, and internal control system has +been established for and effectively implemented on major businesses and matters, which +accomplished the objectives of internal control of the Company. +As presented in the 2018 Annual Self-assessment Report on Internal Control of the Board, no +material defects were found in the internal control of financial reporting as at the base date of the +Assessment Report on Internal Control, pursuant to the identification of material defects the +internal control over the financial reporting of the Company.

Based on the identification of material defects in the internal control over +non-financial reporting of the Company, no material defects were identified by the Company in +the internal control over non-financial reporting as at the base date of the Assessment Report on +Internal Control. Nothing that would affect the evaluation result of the effectiveness of internal +control occurred from the base date of the Assessment Report on Internal Control to the date of +issuance of the Assessment Report on Internal Control. +Section IX Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report (Continued) +Material defects in the internal control during the reporting period: +Please refer to the relevant announcement disclosed by the Company on the website of the +Shanghai Stock Exchange on 23 March 2019 for the 2018 Assessment Report on Internal Control +and Audit Report on Internal Control. +Regarding the treatment and publishing of inside information, the Company has formulated +internal systems such as the Administrative Measures for the Insider Information and Insider +Registration and the Administrative Measures for Information Disclosure of Internal Report for +Material Matters, which stipulated, among others, the scope of insider information and insiders, +reporting process, registration and filing, and prohibited behaviors.

To measure the ECL, accounts and +bills receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics. +Impairment under ECL model +(b) +Wealth management product investments with a fair value of RMB105 million were +reclassified from AFS investments to financial assets at FVTPL. This is because +even though the Group's business model is to hold financial assets in order to +collect contractual cash flows, the cash flows of these investments do not meet the +IFRS 9 criteria as solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount +outstanding.

The Group intends to elect the practical expedient to apply IFRS +16 to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 Determining +Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease and not apply this standard to contracts that were +not previously identified as containing a lease applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. Therefore, the Group +will not reassess whether the contracts are, or contain a lease which already existed prior to the +date of initial application. Furthermore, the Group intends to elect the modified retrospective +approach for the application of IFRS 16 as lessee and will recognise the cumulative effect of initial +application to opening retained earnings without restating comparative information. +Upon application of IFRS 16, the Group will apply the requirements of IFRS 15 to assess whether +sales and leaseback transaction constitutes a sale. For a transfer that does not satisfy the +requirements as a sale, the Group will account for the transfer proceeds as financial liabilities +within the scope of IFRS 9. In accordance with the transition provisions of IFRS 16, sale and +leaseback transactions entered into before the date of initial application will not be reassessed but +the new requirements may impact the Group's future sale and leaseback transactions. +In addition, the Group currently considers refundable rental deposits paid of RMB96 million as +rights under leases to which IAS 17 applies. Based on the definition of lease payments under IFRS +16, such deposits are not payments relating to the right to use the underlying assets, accordingly, +the carrying amounts of such deposits may be adjusted to amortised cost. Adjustments to +refundable rental deposits paid would be considered as additional lease payments and included in +the carrying amount of right-of-use assets. +Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an +orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether +that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the +fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset +or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the +asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes. +in the Group's consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share- +based payment transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, leasing +transactions that are within the scope of IAS 17 Leases, and measurements that have some +similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in IAS 2 Inventories or +value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. +IFRS 16 Leases (Continued) +has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. +When the Group has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the +investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant +activities of the investee unilaterally. The Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in +assessing whether or not the Group's voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, +including: +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a +proportionate share of the entity's net assets in the event of liquidation are initially measured at +the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree's +identifiable net assets. +Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount +of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously +held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the +identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

A preliminary assessment indicates that these +arrangements will meet the definition of a lease. Upon application of IFRS 16, the Group will +recognise a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability in respect of all these leases unless +they qualify for low value or short-term leases. +Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by IFRS 16. +Other than certain requirements which are also applicable to lessor, IFRS 16 substantially carries +forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17, and continues to require a lessor to classify +a lease either as an operating lease or a finance lease. +Under IAS 17, the Group has already recognised an asset and a related finance lease liability for +finance lease arrangement and prepaid lease payments for leasehold lands where the Group is a +lessee. The application of IFRS 16 may result in potential changes in classification of these assets +depending on whether the Group presents right-of-use assets separately or within the same line +item at which the corresponding underlying assets would be presented if they were owned. +The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost (subject +to certain exceptions) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted for any +remeasurement of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value +of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. Subsequently, the lease liability is adjusted +for interest and lease payments, as well as the impact of lease modifications, amongst others. +For the classification of cash flows, the Group currently presents upfront prepaid lease payments +as investing cash flows in relation to leasehold lands for owned use and those classified as +investment properties while other operating lease payments are presented as operating cash +flows. Upon application of IFRS 16, lease payments in relation to lease liability will be allocated +into a principal and an interest portion which will be presented as financing cash flows by the +Group, upfront prepaid lease payments will continue to be presented as investing or operating +cash flows in accordance to the nature, as appropriate. +Distinctions of operating leases and finance leases are removed for lessee accounting, and is +replaced by a model where a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability have to be recognised +for all leases by lessees, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. +IFRS 16 Leases (Continued) +New and amendments to IFRSS in issue but not yet effective (Continued) +APPLICATION OF NEW AND AMENDMENTS TO INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL +REPORTING STANDARDS ("IFRSS") (CONTINUED) +2. +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +200 +IFRS 16 distinguishes lease and service contracts on the basis of whether an identified asset is +controlled by a customer.

Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development +expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. +Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible asset is measured at cost less +accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses (if any), on the same basis as +intangible assets acquired separately. +Intangible assets acquired in a business combination not under common control +Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill and +are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). +Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination with finite +useful lives are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment +losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately. +Derecognition of intangible assets +An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are +expected from use or disposal. Gains and losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset +are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of +the asset and are recognised in profit or loss in the period when the asset is derecognised. +Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill +At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible, +intangible assets with finite useful lives to determine whether there is any indication that these +assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of +the relevant asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). +The recoverable amount of tangible and intangible assets are estimated individually, when it is not +possible to estimate the recoverable amount individually, the Group estimates the recoverable +amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent +basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash- +generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for +which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. +Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing +value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax +discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks +specific to the asset (or a cash-generating unit) for which the estimates of future cash flows have +not been adjusted. +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +214 +2018 Annual Report 213 +the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its +development. +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Obligations for land reclamation +The Group's obligations for land reclamation consist of spending estimates at both surface and +underground mines in accordance with the PRC rules and regulations. The Group estimates its +liabilities for land reclamation and mine closure based upon detailed calculations of the amount +and timing of the future cash flows for the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for +inflation, then discounted at a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time +value of money and the risks specific to the liability such that the amount of provision reflects +the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The +Group records a corresponding asset associated with the liability for final reclamation and mine +closure. The obligation and corresponding asset are recognised in the period in which the liability +is incurred. The asset is depreciated on the units-of-production method over its expected life +and the liability is accreted to the projected spending date. As changes in estimates occur (such +as mine plan revisions, changes in estimated costs, or changes in timing of the performance of +reclamation activities), the revisions to the obligation and the corresponding asset are recognised +at the appropriate discount rate. +Costs for restoration of subsequent site damage which is caused on an ongoing basis during +production are provided for at their net present values and charged to profit or loss as extraction +progresses. Where the costs of site restoration are not anticipated to be significant, they are +expensed as incurred. +Intangible assets +Intangible assets acquired separately +Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at costs less +accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation for intangible +assets with finite useful lives is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful +lives.

It is assessed +for impairment in accordance with IFRS 9. In contrast, a receivable represents the Group's +unconditional right to consideration, i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of +that consideration is due. +A contract liability represents the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer +for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the +customer. +Over time revenue recognition: measurement of progress towards complete satisfaction of a +performance obligation +Output method +The progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured based on +output method, which is to recognise revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value +of the goods or services transferred to the customer to date relative to the remaining goods or +services promised under the contract, that best depict the Group's performance in transferring +control of goods or services. +2018 Annual Report 207 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +206 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of +their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for financial assets within +the scope of IFRS 9, which continue to be measured in accordance with the accounting policies as +set out in respective sections. +When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving disposal of an investment, or a portion of an +investment, in an associate or joint venture, the investment or the portion of the investment that +will be disposed of is classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, and +the Group discontinues the use of the equity method in relation to the portion that is classified as +held for sale from the time when the investment (or a portion of the investment) is classified as +held for sale. +When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all of the assets +and liabilities of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria described above +are met, regardless of whether the Group will retain a non-controlling interest in the relevant +subsidiary after the sale. +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Goodwill +Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of +acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any. +For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash- +generating units (or group of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies +of the combination, which represent the lowest level at which the goodwill is monitored for +internal management purposes and not larger than an operating segment. +A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or +more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill arising on +an acquisition in a reporting period, the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated +is tested for impairment before the end of that reporting period. If the recoverable amount of +the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first +to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets +of the unit on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any +impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised +for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. +On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit or any of the cash-generating unit within the +group of cash-generating units, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination +of the amount of profit or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of an operation within +the cash-generating unit (or a cash-generating unit within a group of cash-generating units), the +amount of goodwill disposed of is measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation (or +the cash-generating unit) disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit (or the group of +cash-generating units) retained. +Investments in associates +An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is +the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not +control or joint control over those policies. +The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial +statements using the equity method of accounting. The financial statements of associates +used for equity accounting purposes are prepared using uniform accounting policies as those of +the Group for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Under the equity method, +an investment in an associate is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial +position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and +other comprehensive income of the associate. When the Group's share of losses of an associate +exceeds the Group's interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in +substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues +recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the +Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of that associate. +On acquisition of the investment in an associate, any excess of the cost of acquisition over +the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities of the investee is +recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any +excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the +cost of investment, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss in the period in +which the investment is acquired. +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +2018 Annual Report 205 +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +3. +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Investments in associates (Continued) +The Group assesses whether there is an objective evidence that the interest in an associate may +be impaired. When any objective evidence exists, the entire carrying amount of the investment +(including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 as a single asset by +comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) +with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss is recognised when the recoverable amount is +less the carrying value of the investment in associates. Any reversal of that impairment loss is +recognised in accordance with IAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment +subsequently increases. +When the Group reduces its ownership interest in an associate but the Group continues to use +the equity method, the Group reclassifies to profit or loss the proportion of the gain or loss that +had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in +ownership interest if that gain or loss would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the +related assets or liabilities. +3. +Non-current assets held for sale +Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount +will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This +condition is regarded as met only when the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate +sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such +asset (or disposal group) and its sale is highly probable. Management must be committed to the +sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from +the date of classification. +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +3. +When a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses resulting +from the transactions with the associate are recognised in the Group's consolidated financial +statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group. +Revenue recognition (prior to 1 January 2018) +Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred +or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs +are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable. +Retirement benefit costs +Payments to state-managed retirement benefit schemes and a supplemental defined contribution +pension plan approved by the government are recognised as an expense when employees have +rendered service entitling them to the contributions. +2018 Annual Report 209 +210 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +3. +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Taxation +The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from +"profit before income tax" as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other +comprehensive income because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years +and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability for current tax is calculated +using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting +period. +Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets +and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in +the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable +temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary +differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which +those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities +are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in +a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable +profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the +temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. +Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with +investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal +of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the +foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated +with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there +will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences +and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. +The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and +reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to +allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at +the end of each reporting year and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that +future taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered. +Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the +period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that +have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. +The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would +follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover +or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. +Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off +current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the +same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a +net basis. +Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that +are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and +deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. +Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, +the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination. +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in +which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to +compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should +purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognised as deferred income +in the consolidated statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic +and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets. +Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will +comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received. +Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. +Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying +assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their +intended use or sale, are added to as part of the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets +are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle +the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the +effect of the time value of money is material). +When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be +recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that +reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. +Financial instruments +Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the +contractual provisions of the instrument.

The assessment +of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted +by forward-looking information. Estimation of ECL reflects an unbiased and probability- +weighted amount that is determined with the respective risks of default occurring as the +weights. +Generally, the ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the +Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, +discounted at the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition. +220 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +(v) +3. +Financial instruments (Continued) +Financial assets (Continued) +Impairment of financial assets (upon application IFRS 9 with transitions in accordance with +Note 2) (Continued) +(v) +Measurement and recognition of ECL (Continued) +For a financial guarantee contract, the Group is required to make payments only in the event +of a default by the debtor in accordance with the terms of the instrument that is guaranteed. +Accordingly, the expected losses is the present value of the expected payments to +reimburse the holder for a credit loss that it incurs less any amounts that the Group expects +to receive from the holder, the debtor or any other party. +For ECL on financial guarantee contracts for which the effective interest rate cannot be +determined, the Group will apply a discount rate that reflects the current market assessment +of the time value of money and the risks that are specific to the cash flows but only if, and +to the extent that, the risks are taken into account by adjusting the discount rate instead of +adjusting the cash shortfalls being discounted. +Where ECL is measured on a collective basis or cater for cases where evidence at the +individual instrument level may not yet be available, the financial instruments are grouped +on the following basis: +Nature of financial instruments (i.e. the Group's accounts and bills receivables and +other receivables are each assessed as a separate group.

The Group reviews the +estimated useful lives and residual value of the assets regularly based on the Group's +historical experience with similar assets and taking into account anticipated technological +changes. Depreciation for future periods is adjusted if there is a significant change from +previous estimates. The carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment is disclosed +in Note 17. +Deferred tax assets +As at 31 December 2018, deferred tax assets of RMB3,083 million (2017: RMB3,798 +million) have been recognised in the Group's consolidated statement of financial position. +No deferred tax asset has been recognised on the tax losses of RMB7,532 million (2017: +RMB7,268 million) and deductible temporary differences of RMB6,685 million (2017: +RMB6,555 million) due to the unpredictability of future profit streams. The realisation of the +deferred tax assets mainly depends on whether sufficient future profits or taxable temporary +differences will be available in the future.

The +provision rates are based on the aging of accounts and bills receivables as groupings of +receivables that have similar loss patterns. The provision matrix is based on the Group's +historical default rates taking into consideration forward-looking information that is available +without undue costs or effort. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates +are reassessed and changes in the forward-looking information are considered. In addition, +accounts and bills receivables with significant balances and credit impaired are assessed for +ECL individually. +The provision of ECL is sensitive to changes in estimates. The information about the +ECL and the Group's accounts and bills receivables are disclosed in Note 27 and 40.2, +respectively. +Obligations for land reclamation +The estimation of the liabilities for final reclamation and mine closure involves the estimates +of the amount and timing for the future cash spending as well as the discount rate used +for reflecting current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks +specific to the liability. The Group considers the factors including development plan of the +mines, the geological structure of the mining regions and reserve volume to determine +the scope, amount and timing of reclamation and mine closure works to be performed. +Determination of the effect of these factors involves judgements from the Group and the +estimated liabilities may turn out to be different from the actual expenditure to be incurred. +The discount rate used by the Group may also be altered to reflect the changes in the +market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability, such +as change of the borrowing rate and inflation rate in the market. As changes in estimates +occur (such as mine plan revisions, changes in estimated costs, or changes in timing of the +performance of reclamation activities), the revisions to the obligation will be recognised at +the appropriate discount rate.

Depreciation rates +are determined based on estimated proved and probable coal reserve quantity (the +denominator) and capitalised costs of mining structures and mining rights (the numerator). +The capitalised cost of mining structures and mining rights are amortised based on the units +of coal produced. +A financial liability is classified as held for trading if: +. +it has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or +on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group +manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or +it is a derivative, except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated +and effective hedging instrument. +A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading or contingent consideration of an +acquirer in a business combination may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if: +such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition +inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or +the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, +which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with +the Group's documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about +the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or +it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IFRS 9/IAS 39 +permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL. +Engineering estimates of the Group's coal reserves are inherently imprecise and represent +only approximate amounts because of the subjective judgements involved in developing +such information. There are authoritative guidelines regarding the engineering criteria +that have to be met before estimated coal reserves can be designated as "proved" and +"probable". Proved and probable coal reserve estimates are updated at regular basis and +have taken into account recent production and technical information of each mine. In +addition, as prices and cost levels change from year to year, the estimate of proved and +probable coal reserves also changes.

The regulatory bodies, however, have moved, +and may move further towards the adoption of more stringent environmental standards. +Environmental liabilities are subject to considerable uncertainties which affect the Group's +ability to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation efforts. These uncertainties include (i) +the exact nature and extent of the contamination at various sites including, but not limited to +coal mines and land development areas, whether operating, closed or sold; (ii) the extent of +required cleanup efforts; (iii) varying costs of alternative remediation strategies; (iv) changes +in environmental remediation requirements; and (v) the identification of new remediation +sites. The amount of such future cost is indeterminable due to such factors as the unknown +magnitude of possible contamination and the unknown timing and extent of the corrective +actions that may be required. Accordingly, the outcome of environmental liabilities under +future environmental legislation cannot reasonably be estimated at present, and could be +material. +282 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +44.

As of the end +of 2018, the Group has entered into annual long-term thermal coal purchase +contracts with 15 domestic quality customers with good reputation for three +years (2019-2021), which will adopt the pricing mechanism of "benchmark +price (RMB535/tonne for 5,500 kcal thermal coal (tax-inclusive spot FOB)) + +float price". Long-term stable internal and external coal customers are favorable +for the Group to arrange production and transportation plans on a reasonable +basis, and maintain integrated stable operation at a high level as well as a high +production efficiency, transportation efficiency and capital turnover ratio. +The Group expanded procurement and sales channels for coal and improved +sales efficiency through Shenhua Coal Trading Network (https://www. +e-shenhua.com) developed by itself. In 2018, the coal sales volume of the +Group through Shenhua Coal Trading Network reached approximately 200 +million tonnes. +In 2018, the Group conducted scientific research and study of market to +formulate flexible marketing strategies, and continued to optimize coal source +organization and transportation deployment to satisfy customer needs to the +maximum, thus achieving stable integration operation at a high level. The profit +from coal sales was increased through various measures, such as maximizing +the supply of self-produced coal, strengthening the sales of purchased coal, +making reasonable adjustment to product structure and holding electronic +auctions. During the year, sales volume of coal reached 460.9 million tonnes +(2017: 443.8 million tonnes), representing a year-on-year increase of 3.9%, +among which, Sales volume of coal in the domestic market was 456.4 million +tonnes. The seaborne coal business achieved quality development through +efficient coordination of port and shipping resources to increase the "quasi-liner +shipping" volume. The seaborne coal sales for the year reached 270.0 million +tonnes (2017: 258.2 million tonnes), representing a year-on-year increase of +4.6%. The seaborne coal sales at Huanghua Port and Shenhua Tianjing Coal +Dock in aggregate accounted for 88.3% of the total seaborne coal sales of the +Group (2017: 88.2%), representing a year-on-year increase of 0.1 percentage +point. +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +2018 Annual Report 43 +The coal sold by the Group is mainly self-produced coal. In order to fulfill the +needs of customers and adequately make use of railway transportation, the +Group also purchased coal from third parties in the surrounding areas of the +self-owned mines and railways, and produced different kinds and levels of +coal products and sold them to external customers. The Group implemented +specialised division management. Production enterprises are responsible for +production of coal, and Shenhua Trading Group is mainly responsible for sales of +coal.

In terms of the capital expenditure on +the coal segment, approximately RMB2.45 billion will be used for infrastructure, such as +coal mine projects, construction of concentrated transportation stations and equipment +purchase, and approximately RMB3.28 billion will be used for technological transformation. +In terms of the capital expenditure on the railway segment, approximately RMB6.76 +billion will be used for infrastructure, such as the construction of Huangda Railway, 300 +million-tonne production capacity expansion project of Shenshuo Railway and equipment +purchase, and approximately RMB2.64 billion will be used for technological transformation. +In terms of the capital expenditure on the power segment, approximately RMB7.43 billion +will be used for infrastructure, such as project construction, and approximately RMB1.64 +billion will be used for technological transformation. +Note: The relevant data on the power plants of the Company to establish a joint venture company with GD Power +is not included in the capital expenditures plans for 2019. +232.1 +271.3 +2.1 +0 +The capital expenditure plans of the Group in 2019 are subject to the development of +business plans (including potential acquisitions), progress of capital projects, market +conditions, outlook for future operation environment and the obtaining of the requisite +permissions and approval documents. Unless required by laws, the Company shall not +assume any responsibilities for updating the data of its capital expenditure plans. The +Company intends to finance its capital expenditures by cash generated from operating +activities, short-term and long-term borrowings, and other debt and equity financing. +The industry in which the Group operates is closely correlated to the prosperity of +the macro economy. Currently, with complex and severe external environment, +there have been economic downward pressure and increased pressure on economic +structure adjustment. The state will further push forward the supply-side reform of +the coal industry, and proactively phase out backward production capacity in the coal +industry with premium production capacity, so as to achieve the replacement of old +drivers of growth with new ones. The reform and innovation in the energy sector will +have a significant impact on the Group's development strategy. +To cope with the risk of macroeconomic fluctuations, the Group will further +strengthen the studies on macro-control policy and relevant industrial trends, take +the initiative to make pre-adjustment, promote high-quality development by taking +the supply-side structural reforms as paramount, make great efforts to push scientific +innovation and progress, and continue to implement strategies of green energy. +Risk of market competition +The Group focuses on the development strategy of clean energy. With the efficient +development, use and conversion of clean coal as the core, it spares no effort in +constructing ecological civilisation. The Company insists on strengthening its soft +power of environmental protection and upgrading relevant facilities, as well as +ensure capital investment to actively carry out the prevention and control of air +and water pollution and upgrading of energy-saving and environmental protection +in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and its surrounding areas. The Company is also +building the brand image of ultra-low emissions in coal power on an on-going +basis. It continues to identify environmental hidden dangers, further improves the +environmental risk pre-control management system and strengthens the identification, +remediation of potential issues and environmental emergency management in order +to achieve energy-saving and emission reduction targets as well as to prevent severe +environmental pollution incidents. +Given the facts that national policies on energy-saving and environmental protection +I have been further tightened, local standards on ultra-low emissions are even stricter +than national standards, operating costs of enterprises are increased due to the +levy of environmental tax, and the demand for better ecological environment puts +more stringent requirements on the development and operation of enterprises, the +constraints on energy-saving, carbon reduction and environmental protection are +further imposed on the Group. +Risk of environmental protection +To cope with the risk of rising costs, the Group will establish the value-creation +concept and strengthen the strategic cost control; optimise the cost accountability +system; promote the normalisation of cost benchmarking work and carry out in-depth +cost reduction and efficiency promotion, so as to consolidate the Group's advantage +on cost. +As the mining process proceeds further and production conditions become +increasingly complicated, the Group's corporate mining cost may increase gradually. +Furthermore, there is a trend of continuous rise in material and labour costs, and the +increasingly stringent regulations are imposed by the state on resource acquisition +and environmental protection, which may lead to an increase in the Group's costs. +To cope with the risk of changes in industry policies, the Group will strengthen its +research on the latest industry policies and regulations in the PRC and promote +industrial upgrading and structural adjustment through a rational investment portfolio +across the business segments, further regulating on the construction order of coal +and power projects and increasing the investment in environmental protection. +Risk of rising costs +The Group's business activities are subject to the industrial regulatory policies +in China. The supply-side structural reform of the coal industry has been pushed +forward into a more difficult phase with increasing difficulty in resolving issues such +as personnel settlement and liability disposal. In addition, speeding up the release +of premium production capacity, optimising the transportation layout in the coal +industry and ensuring coal supply have become the focuses of policy formulation in +recent years.

It will also further conduct +quality improvement and efficiency enhancement in the power industry and conduct +risk pre-control, production safety and trading in the power market in accordance with +laws and regulations; the Company actively participated in investment in coal flowing +channels of national railways, increased the collection and distribution capacity of +railways owned by the Company and kept improving the core competitiveness of +transportation of the Company. +In 2018, the domestic coal market featured with stable supply and demand, steady +increase in utilisation rate of coal production capacity, and the increase in effective +production capacity of coal. In 2019, the coal market is expected to maintain a +generally balanced supply and demand. The total power consumption in 2018 was +6.8 trillion kWh, representing a year-on-year increase of 8.5%. It is estimated that +the future power market will feature with overall supply-demand balance, and the +proportion of planned power generation will decrease year by year, which indicate +that market competition will intensify. The state has increased the construction of +cross-provincial coal transportation railway channels, and local coal transportation +railways have been putting into operation or under expansion. The coal transportation +capacity will be gradually released, and the transportation formats tends to be +diversified. +11.6 +Commercial coal production +In 2019, despite a more complex and severe economic development +environment in China, it is expected that the economy in China will continue to +operate within a reasonable interval, providing energy consumption with certain +support. The energy consumption of non-fossil energy in the overall society +is growing rapidly. The coal consumption is expected to be basically stable. In +2019, the coal production capacity will continue to be released, while affected +by the increasingly stringent safety and environmental protection inspections, +the coal production growth is expected to be limited in 2019. +Increase/ +(decrease) +In 2019, due to the reduction of low-cost resources of Indonesian coal and the +increase in domestic consumption, the export volume will decline slightly. The +export volume of Russia, Mongolia and other countries will increase, and the +supply of Australia will remain stable. In 2019, it is expected that the global +coal market will show a balance in supply and demand. Thermal coal price will +fluctuate with seasonal changes. +In 2019, affected by various factors such as changes in the world economic +structure, trade friction, and global response to climate change, the downward +pressure on the world coal market will increase. In particular, the coal +production and sales are expected to further shrink in Europe and the United +States. At the same time, developing countries in Asia will continue to be +the mainstay of new coal demand due to their economic and technological +conditions, providing support for global coal demand and prices. +Prospects for 2019 +The international coal price featured a seasonal change with supply and demand +relations, and was higher than that of last year. As of 31 December, the spot +price of Newcastle NEWC steam coal decrease from USD104.94/tonne early +the year to USD101.38/tonne, with the annual average price increasing by +21.3% year on year. +In 2018, coal imports of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan in East Asia +remained basically stable, while the coal consumption along the "Belt and +Road" countries, especially in Southeast Asia and South Asia, has increased +significantly. Coal imports volume of India, Thailand, Vietnam and other +countries have grown by more than two digits. In 2018, the global coal supply +saw an increase, and exporting countries continued to be focused on Indonesia, +Australia, and Russia. Among them, Indonesia exported 540 million tonnes of +coal, up 10.5% year on year, the coal export of Russia increased by 3.4%, and +the coal export of Australia increased by 2.6%. +The global energy structure adjustment continued to be pushed ahead, and +non-fossil energy maintained a rapid growth. Coal production and consumption +in Western Europe and the United States continued to decline, and the focus of +coal trade continued to tilt towards the Asia-Pacific region. +Review of 2018 +(2) +76 +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +Overall, the supply and demand of coal are expected to be balanced in +2019. However, subject to uncertainties, including resource conditions and +transportation constraints, there may be structural tight or loose supply in some +periods and regions. +The import volume of coal will be basically stable in 2019 over the previous +year. +Prospects for 2019 +In respect of the demand side, total consumption of coal increased by 1%, +continuing the positive growth since 2017, and was concentrated in the power +and chemical industries, showing a trend of stable quantity and structural +optimization. The coal consumption in the power and chemical industries +recorded significant increase, the coal consumption in the steel and building +materials industries recorded steady increase, and the coal consumption +in other industries and residents has continued to decrease. The coastal +coal supply channel was smoother, the Daqin line and the Shuohuang line +were operating at a high level, and the capacity of Mengji line continued to +be released. The coal transportation volume through railways in China was +2,380 million tonnes, representing a year on year increase of 10.4%. The +volume of coal shipment through major ports in China was 748 million tonnes, +representing a year-on-year increase of 3.0%. Mid-stream and downstream +were eager to hold inventory, while the annual inventory of northern ports, +southern ports and key power plants has increased significantly. +The import volume of coal continued to grow, and the total import volume +of coal throughout the year amounted to 280 million tonnes, representing a +year-on-year increase of 3.9%, demonstrating a slight decline over 2017. +In respect of the supply side, with the continuous improvement of policies such +as the replacement of coal production capacity, the high-quality production +capacity has been continuously released, and the production of raw coal +has gradually recovered. The raw coal production in 2018 was 3.68 billion +tonnes, representing a year-on-year increase of 4.5%, among which, the +raw coal production of Inner Mongolia was 930 million tonnes, representing +a year-on-year increase of 8.7%; the raw coal production of Shanxi was 890 +million tonnes, representing a year-on-year increase of 3.7%; and the raw coal +production of Shaanxi was 620 million tonnes, representing a year-on-year +increase of 13.4%. +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +% +2018 Annual Report 75 +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Thermal coal market in the Asia Pacific region +3.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND ORGANISATION (CONTINUED) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued) +202 +2021 Annual Report 201 +In 2007, the Company issued 1,800,000,000 A shares with a par value of RMB1.00 each, at a price +of RMB36.99 per A share in the PRC. The A shares were listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. +In 2005, the Company issued 3,089,620,455 H shares with a par value of RMB1.00 each, at a +price of Hong Kong Dollars ("HKD") 7.50 per H share by way of a global initial public offering. +In addition, 308,962,045 domestic state-owned ordinary shares of RMB1.00 each owned by +Shenhua Group were converted into H shares. A total of 3,398,582,500 H shares were listed on +The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. +On 8 November 2004, in consideration for Shenhua Group transferring the coal mining and power +generating assets and liabilities to the Company, the Company issued 15,000,000,000 domestic +state-owned ordinary shares with a par value of RMB1.00 each to Shenhua Group. The shares +issued to Shenhua Group represented the entire registered and paid-up share capital of the +Company at that date. +Effective on 31 December 2003, the coal production and power generation operations previously +operated by various entities wholly-owned or controlled by Shenhua Group were restructured +and managed separately (the "Restructuring"), and those assets and liabilities related to +the operations and businesses that were transferred to the Company were revalued by China +Enterprise Appraisal Co., Ltd., an independent valuer registered in the PRC, as at 31 December +2003 as required by the PRC rules and regulations. +The Company was established in the PRC on 8 November 2004 as a joint stock limited company +as part of the Restructuring (as defined below) of Shenhua Group, a state-owned enterprise under +the direct supervision of the State Council of the PRC. +2. +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES +Basis of preparation +The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable +International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSS"), which collective term includes all +applicable individual International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting +Standards ("IASS") and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board +(the "IASB"). They are presented in Renminbi ("RMB") and all values are rounded to the +nearest million (RMB' million) except when otherwise indicated. In addition, the consolidated +financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of +Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("Listing Rules") and by the Hong Kong +Companies Ordinance ("CO"). +204 +The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate +that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. +is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and +has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. +has power over the investee; +The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and +entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company: +Basis of consolidation +Significant accounting policies adopted by the Group are disclosed below. +Judgements made by management in the application of IFRSS that have significant effect on the +financial statements and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in Note 4. +The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to +accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision +affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects +both current and future periods. +The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSS requires management to make +judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported +amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions +are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable +under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about +carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual +results may differ from these estimates. +Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. +Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are +observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and +Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or +liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; +In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, +2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and +the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as +follows: +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +3. +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued) +2021 Annual Report 203 +Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an +orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether +that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the +fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or +liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset +or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in +the Group's consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share- +based payment transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, leasing +transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 16 Leases, and measurements that have some +similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in IAS 2 Inventories or +value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. +Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for +goods and services. +The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for +certain financial instruments as disclosed in Note 40.3, which have been measured at fair value at +the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies set out below. +The IASB has issued certain new and revised IFRSS that are first effective or available for early +adoption for the current accounting period of the Group. Note 2 provides information on any +changes in accounting policies resulting from initial application of these developments to the +extent that they are relevant to the Group for the current and prior accounting periods reflected in +these financial statements. +2,561 +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (hereinafter +collectively referred to as the "Group") are principally engaged in: (i) the production and sale +of coal; and (ii) the generation and sale of coal-based power to provincial/regional electric grid +companies in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC").

Taxable profit differs from +"profit before income tax" as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and +other comprehensive income because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in +other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability for current tax +is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the +reporting period. +Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with +investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal +of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the +foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated +with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there +will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences +and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. +The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and +reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to +allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at +the end of each reporting year and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that +future taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered. +Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the +period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that +have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. +The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would +follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover +or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. +Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off +current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the +same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a +net basis. +2021 Annual Report 211 +212 +Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets +and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in +the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable +temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary +differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which +those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities +are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in +a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable +profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the +temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. +Retirement benefit costs +The Directors reviewed the estimated useful lives of the assets annually based on the Group's +historical experience with similar assets and taking into account anticipated technological changes. +Construction in progress intended to be used for production, supply or administrative purposes +are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Costs include professional fees and, for +qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Group's accounting policy. +Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when +completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other +property, plant and equipment, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use. +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +3. +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Property, plant and equipment (Continued) +Exploration and evaluation assets (Continued) +Expenditure during the initial exploration preparation stage of a project is charged to profit or loss as +incurred.

In circumstances when an area of interest +is abandoned or management decides it is not commercially viable, any accumulated costs in +respect of that area are written off in the period the decision is made. +The Group's obligations for land reclamation consist of spending estimates at both surface and +underground mines in accordance with the PRC rules and regulations. The Group estimates its +liabilities for land reclamation and mine closure based upon detailed calculations of the amount +and timing of the future cash flows for the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for +inflation, then discounted at a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time +value of money and the risks specific to the liability such that the amount of provision reflects +the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The +Group records a corresponding asset associated with the liability for final reclamation and mine +closure. The obligation and corresponding asset are recognised in the period in which the liability +is incurred. The asset is depreciated on the units-of-production method over its expected life +and the liability is accreted to the projected spending date. As changes in estimates occur (such +as mine plan revisions, changes in estimated costs, or changes in timing of the performance of +reclamation activities), the revisions to the obligation and the corresponding asset are recognised +at the appropriate discount rate. +Intangible assets +Intangible assets acquired separately +Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at costs less +accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation for intangible +assets with finite useful lives is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful +lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting +period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. +Internally-generated intangible assets - research and development expenditure +Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. +214 +Obligations for land reclamation +An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future +economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.

Changes in the commercial reserves +affecting unit of production calculations are dealt with prospectively over the revised remaining +reserves. +Exploration and evaluation assets +Exploration and evaluation assets comprise costs which are directly attributable to the search for +mineral resources, the determination of technical feasibility and the assessment of commercial +viability of an identified resource: +researching and analysing historical exploration data; +gathering exploration data through topographical, geochemical and geophysical studies; +exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling; +Stripping costs incurred to develop a mine (or pit) before the production commences or to improve +access to the component of the ore body during the production stage are capitalised as part of the +cost of constructing the mine (or pit) and subsequently amortised over the life of the mine (or pit) +on a units-of-production basis. Stripping costs and secondary development expenditure, mainly +comprising costs on blasting, haulage, excavation, etc. incurred during the production stage of the +ore body and does not providing any improved access to the ore body are charged to profit or loss +as incurred. +Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred +or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs +are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable. +Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in +which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to +compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should +purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognised as deferred income +in the consolidated statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic +and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets. +Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will +comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received. +Business combinations +Acquisitions of businesses, other than business combination under common control are accounted +for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is +measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the +assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the +acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. +Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred. +At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised +at their fair value, except that deferred tax assets or liabilities, and assets or liabilities related to +employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income +Taxes and IAS 19 Employee benefits respectively. +Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount +of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously +held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the +identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after re-assessment, the net of the +acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the +sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree +and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is +recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain. +Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a +proportionate share of the entity's net assets in the event of liquidation are initially measured at +the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree's +identifiable net assets. +3. +Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted, and the +fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to +owners of the Company. +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of +acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any. +For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash- +generating units (or group of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies +of the combination, which represent the lowest level at which the goodwill is monitored for +internal management purposes and not larger than an operating segment. +A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or +more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill arising on an +acquisition in a reporting period, the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated +is tested for impairment before the end of that reporting period. If the recoverable amount of +the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first +to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets +of the unit on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any +impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised +for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. +On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit or any of the cash-generating unit within +the group of cash-generating units, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the +determination of the amount of profit or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of an +operation within the cash-generating unit (or a cash-generating unit within a group of cash- +generating units), the amount of goodwill disposed of is measured on the basis of the relative +values of the operation (or the cash-generating unit) disposed of and the portion of the cash- +generating unit (or the group of cash-generating units) retained. +Investments in associates +An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is +the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not +control or joint control over those policies. +The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial +statements using the equity method of accounting. The financial statements of associates used +for equity accounting purposes are prepared using uniform accounting policies as those of the +Group for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Under the equity method, an +investment in an associate is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position +at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and other +comprehensive income of the associate. When the Group's share of losses of an associate +exceeds the Group's interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in +substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate, after applying the expected +credit losses (the "ECL") model to such other long-term interests where applicable), the Group +discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the +extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf +of that associate. +Goodwill +2021 Annual Report 207 +Changes in the Group's interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control +over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions.

Specifically, income and expenses of a +subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of +profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the +date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. +Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their +accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies. +All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to +transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. +Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group's equity +therein, which represent present ownership interests entitling their holders to a proportionate +share of net assets of the relevant subsidiaries upon liquidation. +2021 Annual Report 205 +206 +Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +3. +Profit or loss and each item of other comprehensive income are attributed to equity holders of +the Company and to the non-controlling interests.

It is assessed +for impairment in accordance with IFRS 9. In contrast, a receivable represents the Group's +unconditional right to consideration, i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of +that consideration is due. +A contract liability represents the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer +for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the +customer. +2021 Annual Report 209 +210 +Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued) +the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group's +performance as the Group performs; +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Foreign currencies +In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies +other than entity's functional currencies (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of +exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary +items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. +Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not +retranslated. Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period +in which they arise. +For the purpose of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of +the Group's foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. +RMB) using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expenses +items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising, if +any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading +of exchange reserve, attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate. +Borrowing costs +Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying +assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their +intended use or sale, are added to as part of the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets +are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are expensed in +the period in which they are incurred. +Government grants +3. +Control is transferred over time and revenue is recognised over time by reference to the progress +towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following +criteria is met: +A performance obligation represents a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is +distinct or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same. +Under IFRS 15, the Group recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, +i.e. when "control" of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is +transferred to the customer. +3. +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Investments in associates (Continued) +On acquisition of the investment in an associate, any excess of the cost of acquisition over +the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities of the investee is +recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any +excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the +cost of investment, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss in the period in +which the investment is acquired. +The Group assesses whether there is an objective evidence that the interest in an associate may +be impaired. When any objective evidence exists, the entire carrying amount of the investment +(including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 as a single asset by +comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) +with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss is recognised when the recoverable amount is less +than the carrying value of the investment in associates.

If the credit risk on the credit-impaired financial instrument improves so that the +financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the +effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset from the beginning +of the reporting period following the determination that the asset is no longer credit +impaired. +Equity instruments designated as at FVTOCI +the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of +principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. +Financial instruments +When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be +recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that +reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. +Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present +obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties +surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle +the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the +effect of the time value of money is material). +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +3. +Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Leased assets (Continued) +(i) +As a lessee +Where the contract contains lease component(s) and non-lease component(s), the Group +has elected not to separate non-lease components and accounts for each lease component +and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases. +At the lease commencement date, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease +liability, except for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and +leases of low-value assets. When the Group enters into a lease in respect of a low-value +asset, the Group decides whether to capitalise the lease on a lease-by-lease basis. The +lease payments associated with those leases which are not capitalised are recognised as an +expense on a systematic basis over the lease term. +Where the lease is capitalised, the lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of +the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit +in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, using a relevant incremental +borrowing rate. After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost and +interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method. Variable lease payments +that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease +liability and hence are charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are +incurred. +The right-of-use asset recognised when a lease is capitalised is initially measured at cost, +which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability plus any lease payments made at or +before the commencement date, and any initial direct costs incurred. Where applicable, the +cost of the right-of-use assets also includes an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove +the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, +discounted to their present value, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset +is subsequently stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. +The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising +from a change in an index or rate, or there is a change in the Group's estimate of the +amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or there is a change +arising from the reassessment of whether the Group will be reasonably certain to exercise +a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this +way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, +or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been +reduced to zero. +The lease liability is also remeasured when there is a change in the scope of a lease or +the consideration for a lease that is not originally provided for in the lease contract ("lease +modification") that is not accounted for as a separate lease. In this case the lease liability is +remeasured based on the revised lease payments and lease term using a revised discount +rate at the effective date of the modification. The only exceptions are any rent concessions +which arose as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and which satisfied the +conditions set out in paragraph 46B of IFRS 16 Leases. In such cases, the Group took +advantage of the practical expedient set out in paragraph 46A of IFRS 16 and recognised the +change in consideration as if it were not a lease modification. +In the consolidated statement of financial position, the current portion of long-term lease +liabilities is determined as the present value of contractual payments that are due to be +settled within twelve months after the reporting period. +2021 Annual Report +217 +218 +Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a +result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation, and a +reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. +Provisions +Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of inventories are +calculated using the weighted average method. Net realisable value represents the estimated +selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make +the sale. +Inventories +When the Group is an intermediate lessor, the sub-leases are classified as a finance lease +or as an operating lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head +lease. If the head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the exemption +method, then the Group classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease. +When a contract contains lease and non-lease components, the Group allocates the +consideration in the contract to each component on a relative stand-alone selling price +basis. +Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with +gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive +income and accumulated in the other reserves; and are not subject to impairment +assessment. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal +of the equity investments, and will be transferred to retained earnings. +When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is +a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers +substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an underlying assets to +the lessee. If this is not the case, the lease is classified as an operating lease. +(ii) +Leased assets (Continued) +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +3. +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued) +As a lessor +At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. 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. Control is conveyed where the customer +has both the right to direct the use of the identified asset and to obtain substantially all of the +economic benefits from that use. +Dividends from these investments in equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss. +when the Group's right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly +represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Dividends are included in the +"other income" line item in profit or loss. +Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for being measured at amortised cost or +FVTOCI or designated as FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL. +(ii) +Significant increase in credit risk (Continued) +Despite the foregoing, the Group assumes that the credit risk on a debt instrument has +not increased significantly since initial recognition if the debt instrument is determined to +have low credit risk at the reporting date. A debt instrument is determined to have low +credit risk if i) it has a low risk of default, ii) the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its +contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and iii) adverse changes in economic and +business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of +the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations. +For financial guarantee contracts, the date that the Group becomes a party to the irrevocable +commitment is considered to be the date of initial recognition for the purposes of assessing +the financial instrument for impairment. In assessing whether there has been a significant +increase in the credit risk since initial recognition of financial guarantee contracts, the Group +considers the changes in the risk that the specified debtor will default on the contract. +The Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there +has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that +the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount +becomes past due. +Definition of default +For internal credit risk management, the Group considers an event of default occurs when +information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor +is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Group, in full (without taking into account +any collaterals held by the Group).

Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development +expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. +Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible asset is measured at cost less +accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses (if any), on the same basis as +intangible assets acquired separately. +Intangible assets acquired in a business combination not under common control +the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; +Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination with finite +useful lives are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment +losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately. +Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill and +are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). +At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible, +intangible assets with finite useful lives to determine whether there is any indication that these +assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of +the relevant asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). +The recoverable amount of tangible and intangible assets are estimated individually, when it is not +possible to estimate the recoverable amount individually, the Group estimates the recoverable +amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

One of the key assumptions that +has to be applied is about the ability of the debtors to settle the receivables. +In considering the impairment losses that may be required for certain of the Group's assets +which mainly include property, plant and equipment, construction in progress, exploration +and evaluation assets, intangible assets, right-of-use assets, interests in associates and +other non-current assets, the recoverable amount of the asset need to be determined. The +recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less cost of disposal and value in use. It is +difficult to precisely estimate fair value because quoted market prices for these assets may +not be readily available. In determining the value in use, the Group uses all readily available +information in determining expected cash flows generated by the cash-generating unit to +which the asset belongs and they are discounted to their present value, which requires +significant judgement relating to cash flow items such as level of sale volume, selling price, +amount of operating costs and future returns. +Impairment losses +Despite the inherent imprecision in these engineering estimates, these estimates are +used in determining depreciation expenses and impairment loss.

Proved and probable coal reserve estimates are updated at regular basis +and have taken into account recent production and technical information of each mine.

The assessment +of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted +by forward-looking information.

The Group does not hold any +collateral or other credit enhancements to cover its credit risks associated with its financial +assets and financial guarantee contracts. +Accounts and bills receivables arising from contracts with customers +In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team +responsible for determination of credit limits and credit approvals.

Limits and scoring +attributed to customers are reviewed once a year. Other monitoring procedures are in +place to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In this regard, the +Directors consider that the Group's credit risk is significantly reduced. +Loan receivables +The credit risks on loan receivables are limited because the counterparties are mainly +related parties, the Group assesses the recoverability by reviewing their financial positions +and results periodically and considers that its exposure to credit risk arising from default of +the counterparties is limited. +27 N/A +12-month ECL +2,262 +2,797 +144 +For accounts receivable, the Group has applied the simplified approach in IFRS 9 to measure the loss +allowance at lifetime ECL.

The average utilization hours of hydropower were 3,622 hours, +representing a year-on-year decrease of 203 hours. +The installed capacity of renewable energy increased significantly, and the proportion of the +installed capacity of thermal power decreased. In 2021, the newly added power generation +capacity in China was 176.29 GW, including 46.28 GW of thermal power, accounting for +26.3% of the total newly added, and 102.50 GW of wind power and solar power, accounting +for 58.1% of the total newly added. By the end of 2021, the total installed capacity in China +was 2,380 GW, an increase of 7.9% over the end of last year. Among them, thermal power +I was 1,300 GW, accounting for 54.6% of the total, which was 2.0 percentage points lower +than that at the end of last year. +The depth and breadth of power system reform were increasing. In 2021, the National +Development and Reform Commission issued the "Notice on Further Deepening the +Market-oriented Reform On Grid Electricity Price of Coal-fired Power Generation", requiring +all coal-fired power generation to enter the electricity market, and to form on-grid tariff +through market transactions within the range of "benchmark price + upward/downward +fluctuation".

We will reinforce green mine development and steadily implement clean energy replacement in +transportation systems. We will take a holistic approach to study on strategic emerging industries and +future industries to accelerate the formation of new quality productive forces and better serve the +economic and social development. +This year, we, aligning to strategic goals, developed new markets for new energy. Guided by the +"goals of carbon peaking in 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2060", we solidly promoted the development of +strategic emerging industries. We prepared the Company's 2023 work plan for low-carbon development +and set up the leading group accordingly for that. We worked to coordinate the strategic cooperation +between the internal and external enterprises of China Energy and local governments and branched +out into new energy industry in diverse channels and forms. As at the end of the Reporting Period, the +new energy projects planned, under construction and put into operation had a capacity of approximately +3,610 MW. The 150 MW centralized photovoltaic power station at the dump site of open-cut mine of +Shengli Energy of the Company, and the distributed photovoltaic projects of Baorixile open-cut mine +and Guojiawan Power Plant were connected to the grid, and the two new energy industry investment +funds invested and sponsored by the Company yielded stable returns. Focusing on the clean and +efficient use of coal, we promoted the "three types of technical reforms" of coal-fired power units, +and the standard coal consumption of coal-fired power units decreased by 1.8 g/kWh year on year. We +kept an eye on climate change, carried out comprehensive management of air pollution and soil and +water conservation, and promoted the coordinated development of ecological, environmental, social +and economic benefits. The Mine Eco-tourism Scenic Spot of Zhunge'er Energy has been rated as a +national 3A tourist attraction, showcasing that our eco-friendly mining development has set a benchmark +in the industry. +Secondly, we will optimise the integrated operational model by extending, supplementing and +strengthening the chain. This involves the orderly advancement of a number of new coal mines, +coal power, coal chemical projects such as Xinjie No. 1 Mine and Xinjie No. 2 Mine, Jiangxi Jiujiang +Power Plant Phase II, Guangdong Qingyuan Power Plant Phase II, Guangxi Beihai Power Plant Phase +II, and Baotou Coal Chemical Coal-to-Olefins Upgrading Demonstration Project, the asset acquisition +of Hangjin Energy and Dayan Mining, the creation of a multi-functional comprehensive modern energy +transportation channel, and the continuous enhancement of core competitiveness of integrated +industries. +Section III Board's Statement (Continued) +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +14 +1.11 +Company Limited +Central Huijin Asset +106,077,400 +0.53 +☐ 0 0 +106,077,400 +0 +Section VIII Changes in Shares and +Particulars of Shareholders (Continued) +Management Ltd. +Guoxin Investment Co., Ltd. +702,800 +0.32 +0 +200 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +0 221,001,857 +Name of shareholder +(full name) +0.53 +0.00 40 0 63,987,924 +0 +1.62 +16.96 +Participation of top ten shareholders in lending of shares by way of securities lending and refinancing +Unknown +Unknown 3,369,078,025 +16.96 +Unknown +Unknown +0 +China Securities Finance +2.99 +0 594,718,004 +2.99 +0 +0 +Corporation Limited +Hong Kong Securities Clearing 320,937,248 +594,718,004 +Shares held by +Industrial and Commercial +Outstanding shares +0.20 +266,400 +0.00 +Bank of China-Shanghai +Index 50 Trading Open-end +Index Securities Investment +Fund +40,207,864 +National Social Security Fund +0.08 +2,127,700 +0.01 +30,126,155 +0.15 +13 +HKSCC NOMINEES LIMITED 3,369,264,907 +15,795,095 +0.14 +28,224,064 +% +lent by way of +securities lending and +Shares held by +shareholders in ordinary +account and credit account +*** +account and credit account +at the beginning of +the period +Total Percentage +refinancing at the +beginning of the period +Percentage +Total +at the end of +the period +Total Percentage +Unit: share +Outstanding shares +lent by way of +securities lending and +refinancing at the +end of the period +Total +Percentage +shareholders in ordinary +0 +Percentage +total share +capital of the +Company +69.52 +3,369,078,025 +Overseas-listed foreign +shares +3,369,078,025 +China Securities Finance Corporation Limited +594,718,004 RMB ordinary shares +594,718,004 +Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited +13,812,709,196 +221,001,857 RMB ordinary shares +Central Huijin Asset Management Ltd. +106,077,400 RMB ordinary shares +106,077,400 +Guoxin Investment Co., Ltd. +63,987,924 RMB ordinary shares +63,987,924 +Industrial and Commercial Bank of China - Shanghai +221,001,857 +13,812,709,196 RMB ordinary shares +China Energy Investment Corporation Limited +HKSCC NOMINEES LIMITED +Number +0 +Nil +N/A +Others +Bank of China Limited +- Huatai-Pinebridge +Shanghai-Shenzhen 300 +Index Exchange Traded +Open-ended Index Fund +198 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Section VIII +Changes in Shares and +Particulars of Shareholders (Continued) +Shareholdings of top ten shareholders without selling restrictions +Number of shares +Name of shareholder +without selling +restrictions held +Type and number of shares +Туре +40,207,864 RMB ordinary shares +40,207,864 +Index 50 Trading Open-end Index Securities +Investment Fund +Participation of Top Ten Shareholders in Lending of Shares by way of Securities +Lending and Refinancing +Participation of top ten shareholders in lending of shares by way of securities lending and refinancing +Unit: share +Name of shareholder +(full name) +Shares held by +shareholders in ordinary +account and credit account +at the beginning of +the period +Outstanding shares +lent by way of +securities lending and +refinancing at the +beginning of the period +Shares held by +shareholders in ordinary +account and credit account +Outstanding shares +lent by way of +securities lending and +Total Percentage +Total Percentage +at the end of +the period +Total Percentage +refinancing at the +end of the period +Total +Percentage +% +China Energy Investment 13,812,709,196 +Corporation Limited +69.52 +0 13,812,709,196 +China Energy, the controlling shareholder of the Company, planned to increase its +shareholding in the A shares of the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary, +Capital Holdings, by means permitted by the SSE (including but not limited to +centralized bidding transactions, block trades, etc.) by an amount of not less than +RMB500 million and not exceeding RMB600 million, and at a price of not more than +RMB33.10 per share, within 12 months from 20 October 2023 (the "Shareholding +Increase Plan", please refer to the Company's H share announcement dated 19 +October 2023 and A share announcement dated 20 October for details).

Specifically, income and expenses of a +subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of +profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the +date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. +Profit or loss and each item of other comprehensive income are attributed to equity holders of +the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries +is attributed to equity holders of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this +results in the non-controlling interests having deficit balance. +Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their +accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies. +All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to +transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. +Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group's equity therein, +which represent present ownership interests entitling their holders to a proportionate share of +net assets of the relevant subsidiaries upon liquidation. +Changes in the Group's ownership interests in existing subsidiaries +Basis of consolidation (Continued) +Goodwill (Continued) +Under IFRS 15, the Group recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, +i.e. when "control" of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is +transferred to the customer. +On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit or any of the cash-generating unit within the +group of cash-generating units, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination +of the amount of profit or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of an operation within +the cash-generating unit (or a cash-generating unit within a group of cash-generating units), the +amount of goodwill disposed of is measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation +(or the cash-generating unit) disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit (or the group +of cash-generating units) retained. +(Expressed in RMB) +3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Non-current assets held for sale (Continued) +When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving disposal of an investment, or a portion of an +investment, in an associate or joint venture, the investment or the portion of the investment that +will be disposed of is classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, and +the Group discontinues the use of the equity method in relation to the portion that is classified +as held for sale from the time when the investment (or a portion of the investment) is classified +as held for sale. +Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of +their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for financial assets within +the scope of IFRS 9, which continue to be measured in accordance with the accounting policies +as set out in respective sections. +Revenue from contracts with customers +For the year ended 31 December 2023 +A performance obligation represents a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is +distinct or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same. +the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group's +performance as the Group performs; +the Group's performance creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the +Group performs; or +the Group's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group +and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. +Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the +distinct good or service. +potential voting rights held by the Group, other vote holders or other parties; +244 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Control is transferred over time and revenue is recognised over time by reference to the progress +towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following +criteria is met: +A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or +more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill arising on +an acquisition in a reporting period, the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated +is tested for impairment before the end of that reporting period. If the recoverable amount of +the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first +to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets +of the unit on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any +impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised +for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all of the +assets and liabilities of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria described +above are met, regardless of whether the Group will retain a non-controlling interest in the +relevant subsidiary after the sale. +Investments in associates +An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is +the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not +control or joint control over those policies. +The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial +statements using the equity method of accounting. The financial statements of associates used +for equity accounting purposes are prepared using uniform accounting policies as those of the +Group for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Under the equity method, an +investment in an associate is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial +position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and +other comprehensive income of the associate. When the Group's share of losses of an associate +exceeds the Group's interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in +substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate, after applying the expected +credit losses (the "ECL") model to such other long-term interests where applicable), the Group +discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the +extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf +of that associate. +242 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2023 +(Expressed in RMB) +3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +2023 Annual Report 243 +Investments in associates (Continued) +in which the investment is acquired. +The Group assesses whether there is an objective evidence that the interest in an associate may +be impaired. When any objective evidence exists, the entire carrying amount of the investment +(including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 as a single asset by +comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) +with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss is recognised when the recoverable amount is +less than the carrying value of the investment in associates. Any reversal of that impairment +loss is recognised in accordance with IAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the +investment subsequently increases. +When the Group reduces its ownership interest in an associate but the Group continues to use +the equity method, the Group reclassifies to profit or loss the proportion of the gain or loss that +had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in +ownership interest if that gain or loss would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of +the related assets or liabilities. +When a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses resulting +from the transactions with the associate are recognised in the Group's consolidated financial +statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group. +Non-current assets held for sale +Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount +will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This +condition is regarded as met only when the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate +sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such +asset (or disposal group) and its sale is highly probable. Management must be committed to the +sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year +from the date of classification. +On acquisition of the investment in an associate, any excess of the cost of acquisition over +the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities of the investee is +recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any +excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the +cost of investment, after reassessment, is recognised immediately profit or loss in the period +the size of the Group's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings +of the other vote holders; +1.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2023 +(Expressed in RMB) +236 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Prior to the amendments, the Group applied the initial recognition exemption to lease transactions +and decommissions obligations and had not recognised the related deferred tax. Following +the amendments, the Group has determined the temporary differences in relation to lease +transactions and decommissioning obligations separately. The impact of the retrospective +adjustments of the above accounting policy changes on the consolidated financial statements +of the Group, which was prepared in accordance with IFRSS, is as follows: for the consolidated +statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December +2023 and 2022, income tax expense decreased by RMB118 million and RMB41 million and profit +increased by RMB118 million and RMB41 million, respectively; for the consolidated statement +of financial position as at 31 December 2023, consolidated statements of financial position as +at 31 December 2022 and 1 January 2022, deferred tax assets increased by RMB267 million, +RMB142 million and RMB86 million, deferred tax liabilities increased by RMB75 million, RMB68 +million and RMB53 million, and total equity increased by RMB192 million, RMB74 million and +RMB33 million, respectively. +The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption such that it does not +apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences on initial +recognition such as leases and decommissioning liabilities. For leases and decommissioning +liabilities, the associated deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be recognised from the +beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, with any cumulative effect recognised +as an adjustment to retained earnings or other components of equity at that date. For all other +transactions, the amendments are applied to those transactions that occur after the beginning +of the earliest period presented. +Amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes: Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities +arising from a single transaction +The amendments require entities to disclose material accounting policy information and provide +guidance on applying the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosure.

The standard does not have +a material impact on these financial statements as the Group does not have contracts within the +scope of IFRS 17. +The amendments introduce a temporary mandatory exception from deferred tax accounting for +the income tax arising from tax laws enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Pillar +Two model rules published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development +("OECD") (income tax arising from such tax laws is hereafter referred to as "Pillar Two income +taxes"), including tax laws that implement qualified domestic minimum top-up taxes described +in those rules. The amendments also introduce disclosure requirements about such tax. The +amendments are immediately effective upon issuance and require retrospective application. Based +on a preliminary analysis, which was limited to data of companies in the Group, there would have +been no notable additional tax expense in the relevant countries if the Pillar Two income taxes +had been required to be applied in respect of the year ended 31 December 2023. For the impact +analysis to be carried out conclusively, it would need to include not only companies in the Group +but also China Energy Group and fellow subsidiaries. It is therefore not currently possible to rule +out that the inclusion of China Energy Group and fellow subsidiaries would have had an effect +on the tax expense, with financial implications for the Group, if the Pillar Two income taxes had +been required to be applied for the year ended December 31, 2023. +The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSS requires management to make +judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported +amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions +are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable +under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about +carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual +results may differ from these estimates. +238 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2023 +(Expressed in RMB) +3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Basis of preparation (Continued) +Judgements made by management in the application of IFRSs that have significant effect on +the financial statements and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in Note 4. +Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. +Material accounting policies adopted by the Group are disclosed below. +The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and +entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company: +has power over the investee; +is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and +- +rules +has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. +Basis of consolidation +Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are +observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and +The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to +accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision +affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects +both current and future periods. +Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or +liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; +MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES +The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable +International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSS"), which collective term includes all applicable +individual International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards ("IASS") +and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB"). They are +presented in Renminbi ("RMB") and all values are rounded to the nearest million (RMB' million) +except when otherwise indicated. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include +applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock +Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("Listing Rules") and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance +("CO"). +The IASB has issued certain new and revised IFRSS that are first effective or available for early +adoption for the current accounting period of the Group. Note 2 provides information on any +changes in accounting policies resulting from initial application of these developments to the +extent that they are relevant to the Group for the current and prior accounting periods reflected +in these financial statements. +2023 Annual Report 237 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2023 +(Expressed in RMB) +Basis of preparation +In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, +2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and +the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described +as follows: +Basis of preparation (Continued) +The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except +for certain financial instruments as disclosed in Note 39.3, which have been measured at fair +value at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies set out below. +Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for +goods and services. +Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an +orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether +that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the +fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset +or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the +asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes +in the Group's consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share- +based payment transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, leasing +transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 16 Leases, and measurements that have some +similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in IAS 2 Inventories +or value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. +3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. +Taxation +The contributions made by the Group to such insurance plans on behalf of employees are fully +attributed to the employees at the time of payment, therefore the Group has no abandoned +contributions that can be utilized. +Payments to state-managed retirement benefit schemes and a supplemental defined contribution +pension plan approved by the government are recognised as an expense when employees have +rendered service entitling them to the contributions. +Retirement benefit costs +Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred +or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs +are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable. +Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in +which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to +compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should +purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognised as deferred income in +the consolidated statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic +and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets. +The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from +"profit before income tax" as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other +comprehensive income because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other +years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability for current tax is +calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the +reporting period. +Government grants +3.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable +temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary +differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which +those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2023 +(Expressed in RMB) +Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying +assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for +their intended use or sale, are added to as part of the cost of those assets, until such time as +the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are +expensed in the period in which they are incurred. +For the year ended 31 December 2023 +2023 Annual Report 247 +The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would +follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover +or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. +Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the +period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) +that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. +The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and +reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to +allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at +the end of each reporting year and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that +future taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered. +Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with +investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal +of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the +foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated +with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there +will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences +and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. +The Group recognised deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities separately in relation to its +lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. +those related to the income taxes arising from tax laws enacted or substantively enacted +to implement the Pillar Two model rules published by the OECD. +taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill; and +temporary differences related to investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture +to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary +differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; +temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that +is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss +and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences; +Deferred tax is not recognised for: +Taxation (Continued) +3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +246 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Borrowing costs +Where the contract contains lease component(s) and non-lease component(s), the Group +has elected not to separate non-lease components and accounts for each lease component +and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases. +In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies +other than entity's functional currencies (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of +exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary +items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. +Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not +retranslated. Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the +period in which they arise. +Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing +value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre- +tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the +risks specific to the asset (or a cash-generating unit) for which the estimates of future cash flows +have not been adjusted. +If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its +carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its +recoverable amount. In allocating the impairment loss, the impairment loss is allocated first to +reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill (if applicable) and then to the other assets on a basis +based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. The carrying amount of an asset is not +reduced below the highest of its fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable), its value in use +(if determinable) and zero. The amount of the impairment loss that would otherwise have been +allocated to the asset is allocated pro rata to the other assets of the unit. An impairment loss is +recognised immediately in profit or loss. +2023 Annual Report 253 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2023 +(Expressed in RMB) +The recoverable amount of tangible and intangible assets are estimated individually, when it is +not possible to estimate the recoverable amount individually, the Group estimates the recoverable +amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent +basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash- +generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units +for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. +3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. 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. Control is conveyed where the customer +has both the right to direct the use of the identified asset and to obtain substantially all of the +economic benefits from that use. +(i) +As a lessee +(Expressed in RMB) +At the lease commencement date, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease +liability, except for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and +leases of low-value assets. When the Group enters into a lease in respect of a low-value +asset, the Group decides whether to capitalise the lease on a lease-by-lease basis. The +lease payments associated with those leases which are not capitalised are recognised as +an expense on a systematic basis over the lease term. +Where the lease is capitalised, the lease liability is initially recognised at the present +value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted using the interest +rate implicit in the lease or, that rate cannot be readily determined, using a relevant +incremental borrowing rate. After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at +amortised cost and interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method. +Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the +measurement of the lease liability and hence are charged to profit or loss in the accounting +period in which they are incurred. +Leased assets +At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible, +intangible assets with finite useful lives to determine whether there is any indication that these +assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of +the relevant asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). +Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill +An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are +expected from use or disposal. Gains and losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset +are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of +the asset and are recognised in profit or loss in the period when the asset is derecognised. +Foreign currencies +A contract liability represents the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer +for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the +customer. +A contract asset represents the Group's right to consideration in exchange for goods or services +that the Group has transferred to a customer that is not yet unconditional. It is assessed +for impairment in accordance with IFRS 9. In contrast, a receivable represents the Group's +unconditional right to consideration, i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of +that consideration is due. +Revenue from contracts with customers (Continued) +3.

The Group estimates its +liabilities for land reclamation and mine closure based upon detailed calculations of the amount +and timing of the future cash flows for the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for +inflation, then discounted at a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time +value of money and the risks specific to the liability such that the amount of provision reflects +the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The +Group records a corresponding asset associated with the liability for final reclamation and mine +closure. The obligation and corresponding asset are recognised in the period in which the liability +is incurred. The asset is depreciated on the units-of-production method over its expected life +and the liability is accreted to the projected spending date.

The Group considers both quantitative and qualitative +information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward- +looking information that is available without undue cost or effort. +existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions +that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor's ability to meet its +debt obligations; +an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor; +an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or +technological environment of the debtor that results in a significant decrease in the +debtor's ability to meet its debt obligations. +Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Group presumes that the credit +risk has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more +than 30 days past due, unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information that +demonstrates otherwise. +Despite the foregoing, the Group assumes that the credit risk on a debt instrument has +not increased significantly since initial recognition if the debt instrument is determined to +have low credit risk at the reporting date. A debt instrument is determined to have low +credit risk if i) it has a low risk of default, ii) the borrower has a strong capacity to meet +its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and iii) adverse changes in economic +and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability +of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations. +For financial guarantee contracts, the date that the Group becomes a party to the irrevocable +commitment is considered to be the date of initial recognition for the purposes of assessing +the financial instrument for impairment.

Any change in the ECL amount is recognised as an +impairment gain or loss in profit or loss.

Accordingly, the expected losses is the present value of the expected +payments to reimburse the holder for a credit loss that it incurs less any amounts that the +Group expects to receive from the holder, the debtor or any other party. +For ECL on financial guarantee contracts, the Group will apply a discount rate that reflects +the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks that are specific +to the cash flows but only if, and to the extent that, the risks are taken into account by +adjusting the discount rate instead of adjusting the cash shortfalls being discounted. +262 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2023 +(Expressed in RMB) +3.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2023 +(Expressed in RMB) +The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising +from a change in an index or rate, or there is a change in the Group's estimate of the +amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or there is a change +arising from the reassessment of whether the Group will be reasonably certain to exercise +a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this +way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, +or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been +reduced to zero. +The lease liability is also remeasured when there is a change in the scope of a lease or +the consideration for a lease that is not originally provided for in the lease contract ("lease +modification") that is not accounted for as a separate lease. In this case the lease liability is +remeasured based on the revised lease payments and lease term using a revised discount +rate at the effective date of the modification. The only exceptions are any rent concessions +which arose as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and which satisfied the +conditions set out in paragraph 46B of IFRS 16 Leases. In such cases, the Group took +advantage of the practical expedient set out in paragraph 46A of IFRS 16 and recognised +the change in consideration as if it were not a lease modification. +In the consolidated statement of financial position, the current portion of long-term lease +liabilities is determined as the present value of contractual payments that are due to be +settled within twelve months after the reporting period. +the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both +collecting contractual cash flows and selling; and +As a lessor +When a contract contains lease and non-lease components, the Group allocates the +consideration in the contract to each component on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. +When the Group is an intermediate lessor, the sub-leases are classified as a finance lease +or as an operating lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. +If the head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the exemption method, +then the Group classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease. +2023 Annual Report 255 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2023 +(Expressed in RMB) +3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is +a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers +substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an underlying assets +to the lessee. If this is not the case, the lease is classified as an operating lease. +particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit +risk has increased significantly: +the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments +of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. +In addition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that are required to be measured +at the amortised cost or FVTOCI as measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly +reduces an accounting mismatch. +Impairment of financial assets +The Group recognises a loss allowance for ECL on financial assets which are subject to +impairment under IFRS 9 (including accounts receivable, other receivables, long-term receivables, +loans to China Energy Group and fellow subsidiaries, entrusted loans and financial guarantee +contracts). The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk +since initial recognition. +Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the +expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of +lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months +after the reporting date. Assessments are done based on the Group's historical credit loss +experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions +and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast +of future conditions. +The Group always recognises lifetime ECL for accounts receivable. The ECL on these assets +are assessed individually for credit-impaired debtors or using a provision matrix with appropriate +groupings. +For all other instruments, the Group measures the loss allowance equal to 12-month ECL, unless +when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Group +recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based +on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition. +(i) +Significant increase in credit risk +In assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, +the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the +reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date +of initial recognition.

Interest income is calculated by applying the +effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial +assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired (see below). For financial assets that +have subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the +effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset from the next reporting +period. If the credit risk on the credit-impaired financial instrument improves so that the +financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying +the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset from the +beginning of the reporting period following the determination that the asset is no longer +credit impaired. +Equity instruments designated as at FVTOCI +Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with +gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive +income and accumulated in the other reserves; and are not subject to impairment +assessment.

One of the key assumptions that +has to be applied is about the ability of the debtors to settle the receivables. +In considering the impairment losses that may be required for certain of the Group's assets +which mainly include property, plant and equipment, construction in progress, exploration +and evaluation assets, intangible assets, right-of-use assets, interests in associates and +other non-current assets, the recoverable amount of the asset need to be determined. The +recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less cost of disposal and value in use. It is +difficult to precisely estimate fair value because quoted market prices for these assets may +not be readily available. In determining the value in use, the Group uses all readily available +information in determining expected cash flows generated by the cash-generating unit to +which the asset belongs and they are discounted to their present value, which requires +significant judgement relating to cash flow items such as level of sale volume, selling price, +amount of operating costs and future returns. +Impairment losses +Engineering estimates of the Group's coal reserves are inherently imprecise and represent +only approximate amounts because of the subjective judgements involved in developing +such information. There are authoritative guidelines regarding the engineering criteria +that have to be met before estimated coal reserves can be designated as "proved" and +"probable". Proved and probable coal reserve estimates are updated at regular basis and +have taken into account recent production and technical information of each mine. In +addition, as prices and cost levels change from year to year, the estimate of proved and +probable coal reserves also changes. This change is considered as a change in estimate for +accounting purposes and is reflected on a prospective basis in related depreciation rates. +Despite the inherent imprecision in these engineering estimates, these estimates are +used in determining depreciation expenses and impairment loss.

By the +end of 2023, installed capacity of power generation nationwide reached 2,920 GW, of which +installed capacity of non-fossil energy reached 1,570 GW, accounting for 53.9% of the total +installed capacity. The installed capacity of thermal power generation reached 1,390 GW, +of which the installed capacity of coal power generation reached 1,160 GW, representing +a year-on-year increase of 3.4%, accounting for 39.9% of total installed capacity of power +generation, down to below 40% for the first time, representing a year-on-year decrease of +4.0 percentage points. The ratio of coal power generation to total power generation in 2023 +was nearly 60%. Coal power remains the major source of electricity supply in China, which +reflects the role of thermal power serving as backup guarantee. In 2023, the capacity tariff +policy was introduced, effectively playing the support and adjustment role of coal power +to promote renewable energy consumption in the future. +In 2023, China's power supply and demand were generally tightly balanced, and remained +relatively tight during peak hours in some regions.

The amount of such future cost is indeterminable due to such factors +as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination and the unknown timing and extent +of the corrective actions that may be required.

In view of factors such as growing demand for electricity consumption and +commissioning of power supplies, it is expected that the overall power supply and demand +in China will be tight and balanced in 2024, and the power supply and demand in some +regions will be tight during peak hours. +For the coal industry, sustained economic recovery in China will stimulate the growth +of energy demand. With the release of new coal production capacity and reinforced +supervision on production safety, coal production will remain stable in general. Coal imports +are expected to remain high. Generally, supply and demand of the coal market in 2024 is +poised to be balanced and relaxed, and the price median of coal may remain stable at a +reasonable range. As affected by seasonal fluctuations, emergencies and other factors, +tight supply may occur in some areas and during some periods. +In 2024, the favourable conditions for China's development will outweigh the unfavourable +factors, and the fundamental trend of economic recovery and long-term improvement will +remain unchanged. The economic work of China will adhere to the principle of seeking +progress while maintaining stability and promoting stability with incremental development, +and establishing the new before abolishing the old, reinforcing the counter-cyclical and +inter-cyclical adjustment of macro policies. To this end, China will continue to adopt +proactive fiscal policies and sound monetary policies, take proactive steps to implement +the policies for stabilising expectations, growth and employment, develop and expand +strategic emerging industries, accelerate the development of new productivity boosters, +and endeavour to promote the transition of growth models, structural adjustment, and +quality and efficiency improvement, so as to promote the steady and long-term economic +development in a sustainable manner.
