reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a +whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that +includes our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no +other purpose. 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. Misstatements can arise +from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be +expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial +statements. +As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional +skepticism throughout the audit. We also: +Identify and assess the risks +material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether +due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit +evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting +a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may +involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. +Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures +that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the +effectiveness of the Group's internal control. +Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates +and related disclosures made by the directors. +2016 Annual Report 157 +Section XIII Independent Auditor's Report and Financial Statements (Continued) +AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL +STATEMENTS (Continued) +Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, +based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or +conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we +conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to +the related disclosures in 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. We remain solely +responsible for our audit opinion. +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. +In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's +ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using +the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease +operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. +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. +The engagement partner on the audit resulting in the independent auditor's report is Wong Tin Chak, Samuel. +Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu +Certified Public Accountants +Hong Kong +17 March 2017 +158 +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income +For the year ended 31 December 2016 +Year ended 31 December +2016 +Notes +RMB million +2015 +RMB million +Revenue +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.

The amendments to IAS 1 clarify that an entity need not provide a specific disclosure required by +an IFRS if the information resulting from that disclosure is not material, and give guidance on the bases +of aggregating and disaggregating information. However, the amendments reiterate that an entity should +consider providing additional disclosures when compliance with the specific requirements in IFRS is +insufficient to enable users of financial statements to understand the impact of particular transactions, +events and conditions on the entity's financial position and financial performance. +In the current year, the Group has applied, for the first time, the following amendments to IFRSS that are +mandatorily effective for the current year. +2016 Annual Report 169 +For the year ended 31 December 2016 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +2016 Annual Report 173 +3. +The application of the amendments will result in additional disclosures on the Group's financing activities, +specifically reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the consolidated statement of +financial position for liabilities arising from financing activities will be provided on application. +The amendments require an entity to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to +evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities including both changes arising from cash +flows and non-cash changes. 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) +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES +2. +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.

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. +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. +Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their +accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies. +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 a deficit balance. +Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases +when the Group loses control of the subsidiary.

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. +Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and +services. +Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer +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.

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) +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. Debt +instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting +contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and that 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 FVTOCI.

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. +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. +Inventories +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.

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. +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. Any gain or loss arising on the +disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference +between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss. +Exploration and evaluation assets +Mining structures and mining rights +Mining structures and mining rights are depreciated on a units-of-production basis utilising only proved +and probable coal reserves in the depletion base. +The Group's mining rights are of sufficient duration (or convey a legal right to renew for sufficient +duration) to enable all reserves to be mined in accordance with current production schedules. +2016 Annual Report +181 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2016 +3.

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. +The requirements of IAS 39 are applied to determine whether there are any indicators that the Group's +investment in an associate may be impaired. 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. +2016 Annual Report 177 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +Investments in associates (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2016 +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's consolidated financial statements only to the extent of +interests in the associate that are not related to the Group. +Revenue recognition +Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Provided it is probable +that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue and costs can be measured reliably, +revenue is recognised in profit or loss as follows: +• +Revenue associated with the sale of coal is recognised when the risks and rewards to the +ownership of the goods have been passed to the customer. +Revenue from sale of power is recognised upon the transmission of electric power to the power +grid companies, as determined based on the volume of electric power transmitted and the +applicable fixed tariff rates agreed with the respective electric power grid companies annually. +Revenue from the rendering of railway, port, shipping and other services is recognised upon the +delivery or performance of the services. +Dividend income from unlisted investments is recognised when the shareholder's right to receive +payment is established. +Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method. +Investments in associates +On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the +determination of the amount of profit or loss on disposal. +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. +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. +2016 Annual Report 175 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +Business combinations +For the year ended 31 December 2016 +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 values, 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 is initially measured at the non-controlling +interests' proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets.

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows: +Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments. +The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and +of allocating interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate +that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments (including all fees and points paid or +received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or +discounts) through the expected life of the financial instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, +to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. +Effective interest method +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").

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). +Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are +directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than +financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted +from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. +Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair +value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss. +Provisions +it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument. +Taxation +3. +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +Leasing +Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are +accounted for as operating leases.

Where the Group is the +lessee, rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the profit or loss on the straight-line basis +over the lease terms. +Land using rights under operating leases are presented as lease prepayments in the consolidated +statement of financial position and are initially stated at cost and subsequently charged to the profit or +loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms. +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 +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. +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.

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. +CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION +UNCERTAINTY +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. +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. +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. +Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +4. +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. +5. +4.

No deferred +tax asset has been recognised on the tax losses of RMB6,869 million (2015: RMB5,604 million) +and deductible temporary differences of RMB5,804 million (2015: RMB5,128 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 or further provision takes place. +Deferred tax assets +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. +Depreciation +3. +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.

The "Key Technology and Demonstration Project on +Intelligent Coal Mine Construction launched" was awarded the Second-Class Prize of the National Science and +Technology Progress Award. The National Key Laboratory of "Water Resources Preservation and Utilisation +in Coal Mining" was officially launched and a research and development system for clean coal was gradually +formed, which support the sustainable clean development of the coal business of the Company. +The Company continued to promote the "ultra-low emission" renovation of coal-fired generating units and was +the first among power companies to complete the "ultra-low emission" renovation for all coal-fired generating +units in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and Anhui areas, leading the clean coal power generation development in China. +The "ultra-low emission" renovation of 16,460MW coal-fired generating units was completed, and the total +installed capacity of coal-fired generating units with "ultra-low emission" technology reached 36,770MW, +accounting for 67.6% of the total installed capacity of all coal-fired power generating units of the Company. +The emission performance for soot, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides of thermal power generators for the +year were 0.021g/kWh, 0.096g/kWh and 0.16g/kWh respectively, which signified the encouraging result of the +prevention and control on air pollution. As of the end of the year, 48 "ultra-low emission" coal-fired generating +units were supported by policies including tariff subsidies, which facilitated profit realisation of the power +business of the Company under the market slowdown. +Strengthening technological innovation and promoting clean development +The Company positively carried out "macroscopic logistics" transportation business in a long-distance and +pendulum manner and took the initiative to expand the scale of transportation of non-coal materials and reverse +transportation in order to improve the profitability of the transportation segment. The transportation services of +the railway segment provided to third parties generated revenue of 4,174 million, representing a year-on-year +increase of 22.0%. +The Company increased the number of trains with the capacity of 10,000 tonnes, effectively increased turnover +of trains and enhanced the coal transportation efficiency, which significantly increased the transportation +capacity of railways and the volume of seaborne coal at its own ports. It established long-term strategic +partnership with major customers through efficient and convenient transportation services, thus excess +transportation capacities were fully utilised. The Company's own railways had a freight turnover of 244.6 +billion tonne km, whilst the seaborne coal volume at the Company's own ports reached 201.3 million tonnes, +representing a year-on-year increase of 22.2% and 27.0%, respectively. The coal shipping volume at Huanghua +Port increased significantly, being the largest port for seaborne coal volume domestically for the first time. +The Company proactively developed transportation resources. On the basis of delivering a sound performance +in the transportation of its own coal, it progressively opened transportation capacity to the public by utilising +the transportation network comprising Bazhun Railway and Zhunchi Railway, thereby opening up a new phase +of the transition of its transportation system from railways designated for coal transportation towards the +"macroscopic logistics" permeating Shenhua. +Promoting "macroscopic logistics" and proactively achieving new profit growth areas +Section IV Chairman's Statement (Continued) +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +16 +Coal chemical segment: The Company continued to optimise the production plan, heighten the production +efficiency and actively develop sales channels in order to achieve the operational stability.

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 (2015: 100 basis points) higher/lower and all +other variables were held constant, the Group's profit for the year ended 31 December +2016 would decrease/increase by RMB259 million (2015: increase/decrease by RMB223 +million). +224 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2016 +37. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) +37.2 Financial risk management objectives and policies (Continued) +Credit risk +As at 31 December 2016, 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 is 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. +3,397 +The Group's exposures to interest rates on financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk +management section of this note. +Available-for-sale investments +The Group is also exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate +borrowings and variable-rate loans and receivables (see Notes 29 and 21). Other than +the concentration of interest rate risk related to the movements in London Interbank +Offered Rate and the loan interest published by the PBOC, the Group has no significant +concentration of interest rate risk. +Interest rate risk +2016 +2015 +RMB million RMB million +(Decrease) increase in profit after tax for the year: +- if RMB weakens against foreign currencies +(121) +(35) +- if RMB strengthens against foreign currencies +121 +183 +(183) +(184) +184 +4 +(9) +66 +2016 Annual Report 223 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2016 +37.

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.

Related parties refer to enterprises over which Shenhua Group is able to exercise +significant influence or control. The Group also has entered into transactions with its associates, +over which the Group can exercise significant influence. Because of the above relationships, it is +possible that the terms of these transactions are not the same as those that would result from +transactions among wholly unrelated parties. +The Group had the following transactions with Shenhua Group, an associate of Shenhua Group, +fellow subsidiaries, and associates of the Group that were carried out in the normal course of +business during both years: +2016 +RMB million +2016 Annual Report 229 +2015 +RMB million +634 +819 +Income from entrusted loans +33 +39 +Interest expense +242 +290 +Interest income +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). +40. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLAN +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. +RMB million +31 December +2015 +RMB million +45 +23 +46 +17 +3 +68 +66 +228 +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2016 +Accrued expenses and other payables +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.

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).

The accumulated import volume of coal for the +year amounted to 256 million tonnes, representing a year-on-year increase of 25.2%. +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +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. +Development Strategy of the Company +1. +China Shenhua's opportunities for future development +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 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. +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. +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. +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. +4. +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +(2) +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. +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%. Coal outbound +shipment through major ports in China was 640 million tonnes, which basically +remained at the same level as last year. +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. +Prospects for 2017 +In 2017, it is expected that the gross domestic product (GDP) growth of China will +maintain at around 6.5%, which is beneficial to the stability of the domestic coal +demand. 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 +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. +3. +70 +2016 Annual Report 71 +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. +Market environment of the power industry +Review for 2016 +In 2016, as a result of the steady improvement trend of macro economy, the low base +for the same period in 2015, the high temperature in summer and other factors, the +power consumption of the whole society in 2016 remained a relatively rapid growth. The +cumulative power consumption of the whole society for the year was 5,919.8 billion kWh, +representing a year-on-year growth of 5.0% and an increase of 4 percentage points in +growth rate as compared with that of 2015. +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 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 management of the Group is of the view that other than those accounted for in the +financial statements, there are currently no environmental lability that may have material +adverse effect on the Group's financial position. +6. +The Group has established the safety production targets of "preventing serious +work-related accidents and general accidents, striving to reduce cases of light and serious +injuries, creating long-term mechanism for production and work safety". 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 and assessment of significant risks, +improvement on "three-breaching" control mechanism, reinforcement of contractor +management in production safety, enhancement of site management level, safety +production training, emergency rescue management, and consolidation of safety production +fundamentals. +80 +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +IV. +7. +8. +9. +Risk of integrated operations +The Group's advantages in integrated coal mines, power, transportation and coal chemical +operations come along with the risks raising from the interruption of individual parts of the +entire integrated chain.

Total capital expenditures of 2016 exceeded the annual budget plan, mainly +attributable to the consideration payment for mining rights for certain mines in Shendong Mines, +Zhunge'er Mines and Baorixile Mines, and the acquisition of land use rights by Shenhua Zhuhai +Coal Dock. +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 2017 of +no more than RMB35 billion (exclusive of equity and asset acquisitions), and implemented in +batches. The first batch of planned capital expenditures of 2017 amounted to RMB16.95 billion. +Regarding the capital expenditures for coal segment, the expenditures for maintaining production +capacity and conducting technology transformation amounted to approximately RMB1.41 billion, +the expenditures for equipment procurement amounted to approximately RMB0.27 billion, and +the expenditures approved for the construction of new coal mines amounted to approximately +RMB0.08 billion. 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. +The capital expenditure plans of the Group in 2017 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. +2016 Annual Report 77 +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +(V) Major risks faced +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 +4. +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +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. +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +293.8 +Plans for 2017 +Total amount +Of which: +first batch +17.6 +58.3 +109.5 +178.3 +41.6 +55.7 +38.2 +38.2 +3.0 +17.4 +0.4 +0.1 +0.8 +1.0 +0.0 +0.5 +350 +169.5 +76 +The above 2016 final dividend plan and special dividend plan are in compliance with the +requirement of the Articles of Association and endorsed by the independent directors and +approved by the Board of the Company.

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. +Organisation +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").

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. +(i) +Notes to the consolidated financial statements +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 +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.

of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to +owners of the Company. +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. The carrying amounts of the +Group's relevant components of equity and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect +the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries, including re-attribution of relevant +reserves between the Group and the non-controlling interests according to the Group's and the +non-controlling interests' proportionate interests. +Changes in the Group's ownership interests in existing subsidiaries +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +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 a deficit balance. +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. +Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and +ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. 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. +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. +rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and +Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. +Internally-generated intangible assets - research and development expenditure +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. +Intangible assets acquired separately +Intangible assets +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. +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. +Obligations for land reclamation +3. +Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Basis of consolidation (Continued) +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: +the size of the Group's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of +holdings of the other vote holders; +potential voting rights held by the Group, other vote holders or other parties; +any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Group has, or does not have, +the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be +made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders' meetings. +Non-current assets held for sale (Continued) +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. +Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. +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. +2021 Annual Report 211 +212 +Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +3. +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Taxation (Continued) +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. +Property, plant and equipment +3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Depreciation is recognised so as to write-off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment +(other than freehold land and construction in progress, which are subject to impairment +assessment) less their residual values over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful +lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, +with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. +Property, plant and equipment, except for freehold land, and mining structures and mining rights, +are depreciated on a straight-line basis at the following rates per annum: +Categories +Term for deprecation (year) +Buildings +Mining related machinery and equipment +Generators related machinery and equipment +Railway and port +Vessels +Coal chemical related machinery and equipment +Taxation +Furniture, fixtures, motor vehicles and other equipment +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +3. +Revenue from contracts with customers +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. +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. +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: +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. +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. +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) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +3. +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 +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. +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 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. +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +10 - 55 years +5- 35 years +Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +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. +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. +Non-current assets held for sale +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. +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. +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.

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. +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 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.

After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost and +interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION +UNCERTAINTY (CONTINUED) +4.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty (Continued) +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. 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 2021, deferred tax assets of RMB3,568 million (2020: RMB2,856 +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 RMB7,097 million (2020: +RMB5,563 million) and deductible temporary differences of RMB8,864 million (2020: +RMB9,244 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 or +further provision takes place. +Fair value measurement of financial instruments +Certain of the Group's financial assets, unquoted equity instruments and accounts and bills +receivables amounting to RMB2,550 million as at 31 December 2021 (RMB1,845 million +as at 31 December 2020) are measured at fair values with fair values being determined +based on unobservable inputs using valuation techniques as set out in Note 40.3. Changes +in assumptions relating to any key inputs may have a material impact on the reported fair +values of these instruments. +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +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. +Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +4.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty (Continued) +Provision of ECL for accounts receivables +The Group uses provision matrix to calculate ECL for accounts receivable. The provision +rates are based on the aging of accounts receivable 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 receivable are disclosed in Notes 26 and 40.2, respectively. +Obligations for land reclamation +The estimation of the liabilities for 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 +37. +2021 Annual Report 233 +234 +Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +5. REVENUE FROM GOODS AND SERVICES +Disaggregation of revenue of business lines and geographical location of customers is as follows: +Segments +For financial guarantee contracts, the loss allowances are recognised at the higher of the +amount of the loss allowance determined in accordance with IFRS 9; and the amount +initially recognised less, where appropriate, cumulative amount of income recognised over +the guarantee period. +4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION +UNCERTAINTY (CONTINUED) +Impairment losses +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. +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. +(v) +One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the +third entity. +The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either +the Group or an entity related to the Group. +(vi) +The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a). +(vii) +A person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of +the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity). +(viii) The entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management +personnel services to the Group or to the Group's parent. +Close members of the family of a person are those family members who may be expected to +influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the entity. +Segment reporting +Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the financial +statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Group's most +senior executive management for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the +performance of, the Group's various lines of business and geographical locations. +Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes +unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the +nature of products and services, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute +the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment.

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. +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, 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.

Accounts and bills +receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and +geographical areas. +The credit risks on financial guarantee contracts are limited because the counterparties are +state owned entities with good financial position. +Financial guarantee contracts +Other receivables represent pledge and guarantee deposit, dividend receivables and interest +receivables. The pledge and guarantee deposit is paid for regular businesses. The dividend +receivables relate to the investments of the Company and the interest receivables mainly +relate to related parties and stated owned entities. Thus, the credit risk on other receivables +are limited. +Other receivables +The credit risks on bank balances are limited because the counterparties are banks with high +credit ratings assigned by credit-rating agencies, such as China Construction Bank, Industrial +and Commercial Bank of China, Bank of China and Agricultural Bank of China. +Bank balances +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. +Loan receivables +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. Before accepting any +new customer, the Group uses an internal credit scoring system to assess the potential +customer's credit quality and defines credit limits by customer. 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. +Accounts and bills receivables arising from contracts with customers +As at 31 December 2021, other than those financial assets whose carrying amounts best +represent the maximum exposure to credit risk, the Group's maximum exposure to credit +risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group arising from the amount of financial +guarantees provided by the Group is disclosed in Note 41.2.

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. +43.

Strict control of project +design and settlement will be implemented, and construction cost control at the early +stage will be strengthened. The Group keeps track timely, monitors the construction +of project construction, and formulates effective measures to reduce or eliminate the +impact of the prolong of construction period. +The overall progress of the Group's existing projects is stable, however, there are +uncertainties in the construction of specific projects, which includes risks arising +from safety incidents due to the inadequate fulfillment of safety responsibilities and +the lack of safety awareness of some of the construction workers; risks of prolonged +construction period, delayed construction period and increased investment due to +insufficient project risk prediction and insufficient capacity of the design unit. +Risk of project management +5. +4. +Section IV Directors' Report (Continued) +76 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +To cope with investment risks, the Group will continue to optimise its investment +management system, strengthen the quality management in the early stage of +projects, strictly control the political risk, efficiency, environmental protection, +procedures and accountability of project investment, highlight the risk management +and control of major projects, and strengthen on-site investigation of key projects; +continue to focus on investment plans, expand effective investment, reasonably +control the pace of project investment, and strengthen the investigation and +supervision of the implementation of investment plans; actively, orderly and standardly +carry out post-project evaluation work to improve the benefits of investment. +The ecological and environmental constraints are tightening, and the policy of +carbon peak and carbon neutrality are forcing deep energy conservation and clean +and low-carbon development. New energy will usher in extraordinary and leapfrog +development, and investment efforts and scale will continue to increase. Some +investment projects may have design defects, and unclear follow-up operation plans. +There are uncertainties in market and policy, which may affect the investment returns +of the projects +Investment risk +In response to the risks of market competition, the Group will improve the accuracy +of the pre-judgment to coal market, strictly implement long-term contracts, enhance +quality control, optimize the structure of coal products, increase brand advantage +on an ongoing basis, strengthen the development of new markets, maintenance +of existing markets and construction of interchange bases, and deepen the +comprehensive coordination of production, transportation, sales, storage and use. The +Group will also further conduct quality improvement and efficiency enhancement in +the power industry and conduct risk prevention and control, ensure production safety +and participate in power market transactions in compliance with laws and regulations. +The Company will actively participate in investment in coal transportation channels +through national railways, increase the collection and distribution capacity of self- +owned railways and keep improving the core competitiveness of transportation of the +Company. The Group will also deepen synergy and efficiency improvement, promote +model innovation, enhance customer service capabilities, increase market share, +further consolidate integration advantages, and maximize the competitive advantages +of the Company. +In 2021, the energy supply was tight, the industry concentration continued to +increase, the market fluctuated at a high level, and the market competition intensified. +As reforms of the electricity market accelerated, the proportion of power transactions +continued to increase; the market competition intensified, and the transaction +scale and price were uncertain. The country has increased the construction of +cross-provincial and cross-region 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. +3. +Risk of market competition +2. +Section IV Directors' Report (Continued) +2021 Annual Report 75 +To cope with the risks of environmental protection, the Group continues to strengthen +environmental monitoring, strictly adheres to the ecological red line, vigorously +promotes the construction of green mines, focuses on the strategy of clean energy +development, and takes the efficient use of clean coal as the core. The Group spares +no efforts in constructing ecological civilization through continuously strengthening +its soft and hard power of environmental protection and the brand image building +of ultra-low emissions in coal power on an on-going basis. The Group continues +to identify hidden environmental dangers, further improves the environmental +management system and strengthens the remediation of potential issues and +environmental emergency management, actively adapt to the new policy, new +requirements and new indicators of "Dual Control" of total energy consumption and +energy intensity in order to achieve energy-saving and emission reduction targets as +well as to prevent severe environmental pollution incidents. +To cope with the risks of production safety for coal mines, the Group will strengthen +the implementation of the safety production risk prevention and control management +system, inspections and treatments and assessment of significant risks, reinforce +the safety production training and emergency rescue management, put into full play +the advantages of informatisation, innovate the mechanism of safety supervision, +promote the safety management ability, and consolidate the production safety +fundamentals. +The Group has established the production safety targets of preventing major +production safety accidents as well as effectively curbing general accidents to achieve +"zero deaths". Although the Group has been sustaining stable performance in safe +production for its coal mines, there are uncertainties in the course of production +safety. Given the facts that national policies on energy-saving and environmental +protection have been further tightened, that operating costs of enterprises are +increased due to the levy of environmental tax, and that the demand for better +ecological environment puts more stringent requirements on the development and +operation of enterprises, the constraints on energy-saving, emission reduction and +environmental protection are further imposed on the Group. +Risk of safety production and environmental protection +The Board is responsible for implementing good corporate governance of the Company. The +Company has been in compliance with the requirements of corporate governance policies as +set out in Appendix 14 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules to establish its own system of corporate +governance. +The international political situation is increasingly complicated, and the world is +entering a period of turbulence and change. Different countries have complex political, +economic and social environments, as well as diverse legal systems, religious +beliefs and cultural customs. Affected by fluctuations in exchange rates, stricter +environmental protection requirements, and intensified trade conflicts among certain +countries, the future international trades and economic situations may experience +ups and downs as well as fluctuations. Together with the highly competitive energy +market worldwide and the continuous spread of the COVID-19 pandemic around the +world, there are certain uncertainties in the Group's international operations. +To cope with the risk of international operations, the Group will further carry out +overseas resource evaluation, operation performance evaluation and technology +assessment based on sound information collection, analysis and research prior to +making any decision on overseas project investment so as to ensure economic +and technological feasibility. The Group will actively respond to the impact of the +COVID-19 pandemic on overseas business, strengthen overseas risk screening, +regularly monitor the overseas legal compliance risks, and take multiple measures to +prevent and resolve risks. Furthermore, the Company will strengthen the cultivation +and introduction of interdisciplinary talents; actively and steadily implement the "Going +Global" strategy in accordance with the requirements of coordinating the overall +domestic and international situation. +1. +Section IV Directors' Report (Continued) +CORPORATE GOVERNANCE +2021 Annual Report 77 +I. +Section V Corporate Governance and +Corporate Governance Report +2021 Annual Report 79 +Please see the section headed "Significant Events" for management contracts; please see +the section headed "Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report" for permitted +indemnity provision, interests and dividends of Directors and Supervisors in significant +transactions, arrangements or contracts; please see the section headed "Changes in Share Capital +and Shareholders" for repurchase of listed securities. +Please refer to the section headed "Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report". +IX.

REASONS AND CASES OF FAILURE OF DISCLOSURE IN ACCORDANCE WITH +GUIDELINES BY THE COMPANY DUE TO NON-APPLICABLE GUIDELINES OR +SPECIAL REASONS +To cope with the risk of changes in industrial policies, the Group will strengthen the +research on the latest national industrial policies and regulations, enhance policy +coordination, pay close attention to the window of policy opportunities for resource +continuation, correctly understand and grasp the requirements of carbon peak and +carbon neutrality. The gradual withdrawal from traditional energy should be based on +the safe and reliable replacement of new energy. The Group will reasonably match +the investment scale of each industry, accelerate the development of renewable +energy while firmly promoting the clean and efficient utilization of coal, and promote +industrial upgrading and structural adjustment. +The business activities of the Group are affected by the national industrial control +policies. Establishing the goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality", the country +has put forward new and higher requirements for the high-quality development of the +energy industry. The Group will continue to deepen the supply-side structural reform +of the coal industry, actively promote the elimination of outdated production capacity +in the coal industry, accelerate the release of high-quality production capacity, and +realize the transformation of old and new development drivers. The above policies +may affect the Company's industrial layout, the approval of new expansion projects, +and the reform of operation and management mode. +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. +8. +Policy risk +7. +Risk of macroeconomic fluctuations +The industry in which the Group operates is closely correlated to the prosperity of +the macro economy. Currently, China's economic development is facing the triple +pressure of demand contraction, supply shock and weakening expectations, and +due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and various uncertain factors and with +complex and severe external environment, the year-on-year growth rate of major +indicators such as industrial added value, investment in fixed asset and social retail +consumption continues to decline, and the economic downward pressure is still +relatively large. Besides, 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, +constantly strengthen the core advantages of integrated operation based on the +basic national conditions where coal is in a dominant position, vigorously promote +technological innovation to ensure the clean and efficient utilisation of coal, explore +and develop high-end, diversified and low-carbon coal chemical products, promote the +optimal combination of coal and new energy, accelerate the large-scale development +of new energy, study and deploy the development of industries such as energy +storage, hydrogen energy, pumped storage and biomass energy, and promote the +high-quality and sustainable development of the Company. +6. +The Group's advantages in integrated operation of coal, power, transportation and +coal chemical come along with the risks arising from the interruption of individual +parts of the entire integrated chain. In case of poor organisation or coordination or a +discontinuation of any part, the balance and high efficiency of integrated operations +will be affected and the impact may adversely affect the Group's business results. +To cope with the risk of integrated operations, the Group will take an array of +measures based on production safety, including, focusing on the comprehensive +coordination and balance of integrated operations, paying close attention to the +resources continuation, strengthening scientific scheduling and plan management, +improving railway collection and distribution system, strengthening the coordination of +power grid, and strengthening the production and operation management, expanding +the coverage of integrated operations as much as possible, and continuously +enhancing the resilience of integrated industrial chain, value chain and supply chain. +Section IV Directors' Report (Continued) +78 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Risk of integrated operations +-tion +term of office +-ment date) +Age +Gender +Positions +Name +Total +Other +monetary remuneration +provident +for the +remunera +previous year +first appoint +and +housing +remuneration +Basic +Scheduled +(from the +insurance +corporate +expiration of +before tax Remark +funds +Secretary of the +insurance and +Deputy +Total +Yang Suping +Officer and +23 August 2019 +Chief Executive +2021 +14.36 +9.20 +5.16 +99.20 +51.20 +20.87 +16 November +29 May 2020 +51 +Executive Director Male +Yang Jiping +income +Subtotal 2 +annuities +Subtotal 1 +78.33 +The 2019 annual general meeting of the Company approved that term of service of the fifth session +of the Board and the Supervisory Committee is three years (29 May 2020 to 28 May 2023).
