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. +174 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain +financial instruments as disclosed in Note 37.3, which have been measured at fair value at the end of +each reporting period. +Basis of preparation +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES +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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS issued by the +International Accounting Standards Board. They are presented in RMB and all values are rounded to the +nearest million (RMB'million) except when otherwise indicated. In addition, the consolidated financial +statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities +Oon The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("Listing Rules") and by the Hong Kong Companies +Ordinance ("CO"). +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. +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +3. +Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their +accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies. +42,323 +Profit or loss and each item of other comprehensive income are attributed to equity holders of the +Company and to the non-controlling interests.

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: +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 15 was issued which establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for +revenue arising from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition +guidance including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related Interpretations when +it becomes effective. +IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers +Other than above, the Directors do not expect IFRS 9 will have a material impact on the results and +financial position of the Group. +IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Continued) +New and revised IFRSS not yet effective and not early adopted (Continued) +2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING +STANDARDS ("IFRSS") (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2016 +The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of +promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which +the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Standard +introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition: +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. All other debt investments and equity +investments are measured at their fair value at the end of subsequent accounting periods. In +addition, under IFRS 9, entities may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes +in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive +income, with only dividend income generally recognised in profit or loss. +Key requirements of IFRS 9 are described as follows: +IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Continued) +New and revised IFRSS not yet effective and not early adopted (Continued) +2016 Annual Report 171 +Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer +• +Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract +IFRS 16, which upon the effective date will supersede IAS 17 Leases, introduces a single lessee +accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of +more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Specifically, under IFRS 16, a lessee +is required to recognise a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset +and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. Accordingly, a lessee should +recognise depreciation of the right-of-use asset and interest on the lease liability, and also classifies +cash repayments of the lease liability into a principal portion and an interest portion and presents them +as financing in the statement of cash flows. Also, the right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost +and subsequently measured at cost (subject to certain exceptions) less accumulated depreciation and +impairment losses, adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially +measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The measurement +includes non-cancellable lease payments and also includes payments to be made in optional periods if +the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease, or not to exercise an option to +terminate the lease. This accounting treatment is significantly different from the lessee accounting for +leases that are classified as operating leases under the predecessor standard, IAS 17. +IFRS 16 Leases +New and revised IFRSS not yet effective and not early adopted (Continued) +APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING +STANDARDS ("IFRSS") (Continued) +2. +For the year ended 31 December 2016 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +172 +The Directors anticipate that the application of IFRS 15 in the future may result in more disclosures, +however, the Directors do not anticipate that the application of IFRS 15 will have a material impact on +the timing and amounts of revenue recognised in the respective reporting periods. +Under IFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. +when "control" of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred +to the customer.

The Group determines the classification of its financial +assets at initial recognition based on their nature and purpose.

Regular way purchases or sales +are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established +by regulation or convention in the marketplace. +Effective interest method +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. +Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments. +The Group's financial assets include financial assets at FVTPL, loans and receivables and AFS financial +assets. The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows: +Financial assets at FVTPL +Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is +designated as at FVTPL.

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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +2016 Annual Report 177 +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. +On acquisition of the investment in an associate, any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's +share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill, +which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group's share of the +net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of investment, after reassessment, is +recognised immediately in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired. +The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial +statements using the equity method of accounting. The financial statements of associates used for +equity accounting purposes are prepared using uniform accounting policies as those of the Group for +like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Under the equity method, an investment in an +associate is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted +thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of +the associate. When the Group's share of losses of an associate exceeds the Group's interest in that +associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net +investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. 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. +An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the +power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or +joint control over those policies. +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. +Investments in associates (Continued) +When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered +from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will +be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. +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. +Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a +past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation, and a reliable estimate +can be made of the amount of the obligation. +Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present +obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding +the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present +obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time +value of money is material). +10-20 years +5-20 years +The Directors reviewed the estimated useful lives of the assets annually based on the Group's historical +experience with similar assets and taking into account anticipated technological changes. +Construction in progress intended to be used for production, supply or administrative purposes are +carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Costs include professional fees and, for qualifying +assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Group's accounting policy. Such properties +are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and +ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property, plant and +equipment, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use. +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. +Mining structures and mining rights +The costs of mining structures and mining rights, which include the costs of acquiring and developing +mining structures and mining rights, are firstly capitalised as "construction in progress" in the year in +which they are incurred and then reclassified to "Mining structures and mining rights" under property, +plant and equipment when they are ready for commercial production. +Mining structures and mining rights are depreciated on a units-of-production basis utilising only proved +and probable coal reserves in the depletion base. +30-45 years +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. +181 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2016 +3.

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.

There are authoritative guidelines regarding the engineering criteria that have to be +met before estimated coal reserves can be designated as "proved" and "probable". Proved and +probable coal reserve estimates are updated at regular basis and have taken into account recent +production and technical information of each mine. In addition, as prices and cost levels change +from year to year, the estimate of proved and probable coal reserves also changes. This change +is considered as a change in estimate for accounting purposes and is reflected on a prospective +basis in related depreciation rates. +Despite the inherent imprecision in these engineering estimates, these estimates are used in +determining depreciation expenses and impairment loss. Depreciation rates are determined based +on estimated proved and probable coal reserve quantity (the denominator) and capitalised costs of +mining structures and mining rights (the numerator). The capitalised cost of mining structures and +mining rights are amortised based on the units of coal produced. +190 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2016 +4. +CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION +UNCERTAINTY (Continued) +4.2 +Key sources of estimation uncertainty (Continued) +Impairment losses +In considering the impairment losses that may be required for certain of the Group's assets which +include property, plant and equipment, construction in progress and interest in associates, the +recoverable amount of the asset needs to be determined. The recoverable amount is the higher +of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. It is difficult to precisely estimate fair value +because quoted market prices for these assets may not be readily available. In determining the +value in use, the Group uses all readily available information in determining expected cash flows +generated by the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs and they are discounted to their +present value, which requires significant judgement relating to cash flow items such as level of +sale volume, selling price, amount of operating costs and future returns. +In considering the impairment losses that may be required for current receivables and other +financial assets, future cash flows need to be determined. One of the key assumptions that has +to be applied is about the ability of the debtors to settle the receivables. +Notwithstanding that the Group has used all available information to make this estimation, +inherent uncertainty exists and actual write-offs may be higher or lower than the amount estimated. +The carrying amounts of the property, plant and equipment, construction in progress and interest +in associates are disclosed in Note15, 16 and 19, respectively. +Depreciation +Other than the freehold land and mining structures and mining rights, property, plant and +equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, +after taking into account the estimated residual value. The Group reviews the estimated useful +lives and residual value of the assets regularly based on the Group's historical experience with +similar assets and taking into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation +expense for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates. +The carrying amounts of the property, plant and equipment is disclosed in Note 15. +Deferred tax assets +As at 31 December 2016, deferred tax assets of RMB3,849 million (2015: RMB2,674 million) +have been recognised in the Group's consolidated statement of financial position.

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. +RMB +4.

The organic growth of the domestic economy will still require reinforcement. The PRC government +will adhere to the general principle of making progress while ensuring stability. With the key target of +promoting the supply-side reform, it will properly expand the overall demand to facilitate stable and healthy +development of the economy. The government will endeavour to resolve excess production capacities of +coal and safeguard the dynamic balance between demand and supply of coal by eliminating the outdated +production capacities, adjusting the production volume and taking other measures in response to changes in +market demand. The coal price for the year will be subject to volatility based on the contract coal price. The +trend of relatively excess supply of thermal power will continue and power generation costs will rise, the +competition among power generation enterprises will increase. +China Shenhua will firmly adopt the clean energy development strategy as the leading strategy to further +leverage core competitiveness of the integrated operation, enhance the coordination and organisation of coal +production, transportation and marketing, strictly control the increase in costs and endeavour to achieve the +operating targets. Key emphasis will be placed on the following aspects: +Coordinating the production, transportation and marketing to further improving the operational +efficiency. Firstly, the Company will proactively implement the policy of excess capacity elimination, optimise +the production units and raise the production volume of the type of coal with good quality and high economic +efficiency based on the relationship between supply and demand. It will strive to secure the fulfilment of +contract coal based on the market environment, support the relative stability of coal price, endeavour to +raise the sales volume of seaborne coal with the greatest cost-efficiency and increase its efforts to promote +e-commerce sale, in a bid to increase the market share and ensure the sales revenue. Secondly, on the basis +of strengthening the refined management of power plants, the Company will actively promote the business of +direct power purchase by large internal and external power users and keep promoting the establishment of a +marketing system which is in line with the market practice, which strive to raise power output dispatch volume +and the higher average level of utilisation hours of generators than those of the same type of generators +in the same regions. Thirdly, on the basis of maintaining the cooperation with the existing key customers +in macroscopic logistics business. The Company will seek potential quality customers featured by reverse +transportation, bulk cargoes, long distance and mass transportation volume to further improve its economic +benefits. +The reduction of carbon emission was actively promoted and Company-wide investigations and examination of +carbon were completed. The filings of voluntary emission reduction projects were systematically carried out for +the year, which laid a solid foundation to cope with the changes in policies on carbon emissions reduction and +carbon transactions. +2016 Annual Report 19 +Section IV Chairman's Statement (Continued) +Optimising the asset structure and enhancing efficiency while increasing quality on an on-going basis. +Firstly, the Company makes full use of existing resources to improve its profitability. It will continue to devote +its efforts to controlling costs and strive to achieve a continuous year-on-year decrease in the unit production +cost of self-produced coal and the controllable costs of other business segments remain constant as compared +to last year. The Company will further vitalise its assets to improve asset operational efficiency. Secondly, it +will strengthen the planning and management of capital expenditure and strictly control project investment for +sustainable development. The Company will optimise the risk assessment for project commencement and +the tracking and evaluation mechanism for economic benefits of key projects to further the risk control and +management level of investment projects. According to the investment return analysis on the total life cycle of +projects, it will properly arrange the construction schedule of projects to ensure the construction progress of +quality projects. The Company will proactively promote the project construction including the renovation of the +300 million tonne expansion capacity project of Shenshuo Railway and the construction of Huangda Railway. +The coal-fired power projects of Sumsel-1 Coal Power (2×300MW) and Jawa-7 Coal Power (2×1,000 MW) in +Indonesia will proceed in an orderly manner. +Focusing on safety and environmental protection and technological innovation to strengthen the +ability of sustainable development. The Company strengthen the accountability for safety production with +a focus on implementing the safety overhaul and devoting more efforts to checks and rectification of hidden +safety hazards, striving to remain "zero fatality" in its safety production. It will continuously optimise assessment +and accountability mechanisms and on-line monitoring platform of environmental safety, improve the work in +energy conservation and environmental protection in the whole industrial chain to prevent incidents relating to +environmental protection from happening. The Company will increase its investments in scientific research and +leverage the technological innovation to grasp the core technologies with their own intellectual property rights, +in order to accelerate the industrialization of the technology innovation outcome. +In 2017, China Shenhua will work pragmatically with steady confidence. It will facilitate the in integration of +various businesses and realise a healthy and sustainable development in order to create greater value for +investors. +3₤2-$ +Zhang Yuzhuo +Chairman +17 March 2017 +By setting up a comprehensive on-line monitoring platform, strengthening the equipment upgrade and +renovation continuously and devoting more efforts to checks and rectification of hidden safety hazards, the +level of energy conservation and environmental protection of the Company was effectively raised. In 2016, the +Company invested a total amount of RMB2.605 billion in energy conservation and environmental protection +projects, which were mainly used in environmental protection projects such as removal of sulphur oxides, +nitrogen oxides and dust and energy conservation projects such as boiler improvement. +The Company practically promoted the construction of risk prevention and safety control system, made more +efforts in safety control and inspection, and strengthened the implementation of accountability for safety +management, thereby elevating the level of production safety. The fatality rate per million tonne of coal output +of coal mines was zero in 2016, for which China Shenhua maintained a world-leading level in respect of safety +production in the industry. +Proactively fulfilling social responsibility and achieving safe and green development +The Company continued to optimise capital and debt structure, exercise effective management over +accounts and notes receivable. By conducting specific investigations on current accounts and assets as well +as controlling finance cost effectively with refined management, the capital risk was reduced. It vigorously +promoted the structural reform and optimisation of material management and proactively promoted the +communal storage and usage of materials of coal, power and transportation businesses in order to control the +increase in the inventory, striving to make materials management a "third profit source". +The strict implementation of a budget control system and quarterly assessment of cost and profit indicators +resulted in a significant effect in controlling costs of principal business segments. The unit production cost of +self-produced coal for the year amounted to RMB109.6/tonne, representing a year-on-year decrease of 11.0%, +which was better than that predicted at the beginning of the year. +Implementing refined management and achieving outstanding performance in cost control +Section IV Chairman's Statement (Continued) +For more information about our social responsibility efforts, please refer to the "2016 Corporate Social +Responsibility Report" of the Group. +Accelerating the implementation of clean energy development strategy.

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. +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. +Liquidity risk +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. +The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with good +reputation. +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 amount of contingent liability in relation to the financial guarantees provided by the +Group is as disclosed in Note 39.3. +the Group's continuing involvement in the derecognised bills receivables equal to their +carrying amounts as disclosed in Note 24; and +the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the +consolidated statement of financial position; +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: +Credit risk +37.2 Financial risk management objectives and policies (Continued) +37.

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 Group's exposures to interest rates on financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk +management section of this note. +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. +The Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to fixed-rate loan and +receivables, borrowings, short-term debenture, medium-term notes and bonds (see +Notes 25, 29 and 30).

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. +41.1 Transactions with Shenhua Group, an associate of Shenhua Group, fellow +subsidiaries, and associates of the Group +31 December +2016 +38.

The accumulated import volume of coal for the +year amounted to 256 million tonnes, representing a year-on-year increase of 25.2%. +70 +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +(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. +In 2016, raw coal production of in the PRC was 3,410 million tonnes, representing +a year-on-year decrease of 9.0%, of which the decline was further larger compared +with last year, among which, Inner Mongolia accounted for 840 million tonnes, +representing a year-on-year decrease of 8.1%; Shanxi accounted for 820 million +tonnes, representing a year-on-year decrease of 14.4%; Shaanxi accounted for 510 +million tonnes, representing a year-on-year decrease of 2.8%. +Prospects for 2017 +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. +2016 Annual Report 71 +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +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. +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%. +(4.7) +1,900 +In 2016, the condition of excessive production capacity of coal subsisted without +substantial changes. 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). During the year, the average price of Bohai Bay thermal coal price index was +RMB460/tonne, representing a year-on-year increase of 7.5%. +Raw coal output +(million tonnes) +Coal import +(million tonnes) +Coal transportation by +railway (million tonnes) +2016 +1,994 +Year-on-year +change +(%) +3,410 +3,747 +(9.0) +255.6 +204.1 +25.2 +2015 +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. +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 +Development Strategy of the Company +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +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. +2. +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. +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +2016 Annual Report 73 +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 installed capacity +of power generation by non-fossil energy such as hydropower and nuclear power will +continue to increase with a high speed. +72 +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +4. +Thermal power generation by power plants above the scale in the PRC amounted to +4,395.8 billion kWh, representing a year-on-year growth of 2.6%; while hydropower +generation amounted to 1,051.8 billion kWh, representing a year-on-year growth of 5.9%. As +influenced by the relative overcapacity of thermal power generation, the increase in power +generation capacity by non-fossil energy and other factors, the utilisation hours of thermal +power generators was 4,165 hours during the year, representing a year-on-year decrease +of 199 hours and being a new low since 1964; the average utilisation hours of hydropower +and wind power generators remained a year-on-year increase. +The nationwide demand and supply of power was generally on ease. There was a balanced +demand and supply of power in northern region and an easing demand and supply of +power in eastern, central and southern regions in general, while there was sufficient power +supply in northeastern and northwestern regions. +Prospects for 2017 +In 2017, in consideration of factors including the macro economy and the expected growth +in power consumption of the service industry and for domestic use, it is expected that the +demand of power consumption for the year will remain at a growing momentum. +In 2017, the power supply nationwide will be adequate. It is expected that the momentum +of rapid increase of installed capacity of thermal power generators will be under effective +control and the proportion of installed capacity of power generation by non-fossil energy +will further increase. +The demand and supply of power nationwide in 2017 will remain at the overall stagnant +trend and the power consumption structure and regional demand and supply distribution +will remain basically the same as last year. It is expected that the utilisation hours of +thermal power generators for the year will continue to experience a year-on-year downturn +under the influence of the increase in power generation capacity by non-fossil energy and +other factors. By virtue of the rise of coal-fired power generation costs, thermal power +generation enterprises will encounter more severe difficulties and challenges. +Impact of the "Thirteen Five-Year" Plan on Coal and Electricity Market +Adhering to the "clean, low-carbon, efficient and concentrated" principal determined +by the "Thirteen Five-Year" Plan for the Development of Coal Industry, excessive and +obsolete production capacity will be eliminated by approximately 800 million tonnes per +year while advanced production capacity will be increased by 500 million tonnes per year +through replacement of existing capacities with less amount and layout optimisation during +the "Thirteen Five-Year" Plan Period, hence the production capacity of coal is expected +to reach 3.9 billion tonnes by 2020. The country strives to further centralise the national +coal production and development towards large-scale coal production bases and further +optimise the coal production structure in order to further raise the degree of concentration +of the industry. Meanwhile, the construction of intelligent coal mines and eco-civilized +mining areas will be proactively pushed forward to enhance the quality and the clean and +efficient use of coal products, which enables the clean development and utilisation of coal +to enter into a new stage. It is expected that, by the end of the "Thirteen Five-Year" Plan +Period, the overcapacity coal industry will be further mitigated with a more balanced +market demand and supply and a significantly optimised industry structure, and substantive +progress will be achieved for transformation to clean and efficient coal utilisation in the coal +industry. +(II) +Review of 2016 +10 +(1) Thermal coal market in the PRC +2016 +Shenhua Bayannur Energy Co., Ltd. +2,129 +7 +Shenhua Ganquan Railway Co., Ltd. +1,857 +8 +Shenhua Guoneng Jiaozuo Power Plant +1,500 +2,198 +Company Limited +Shenhua Group Corporation Limited +1,000 +10 +China Shenhua Coal Liquefaction and Chemical +1,000 +Company Limited +11 +Inner Mongolia Dayan Mining Industry Group +9 +1,000 +Shenhua Yili Energy Co., Ltd. +Shenhua Zhunchi Railway Company Limited +620 +Note: Data of all companies were consolidated except those of Shenhua Group +Corporation, which were based on the headquarters of the company. +(b) +Balance of loans of the top ten customers +Unit: RMB million +As at +31 December +2016 +3,000 +No. Name of customer +Shenhua Ningxia Coal Industry Group Co., Ltd. +4,500 +Shenhua Xinzhun Railway Co., Ltd. +3,500 +State Grid Energy Hami Coal and Electricity +3,000 +Co., Ltd. +456900 +123 +Co., Ltd. +2016 Annual Report 67 +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +For details of remuneration and training of the Group's employees, please refer to the section +headed "Directors, Supervisors, Senior Management and Employees".

Certain particularly major natural disasters which occurred +in China in recent years had adversely affected the Group's operations to a certain extent. +Factors such as unforeseeable natural disasters and bad weather may bring certain losses +to the Group's operations. +Risk of rising costs +To cope with the risk of changes in industry policies, the Group will strengthen its research +on the latest industry policies and regulations in the PRC and promote industrial upgrading +and structural adjustment through a rational investment portfolio across the business +segments and further regulating on projects approval and construction works of the Group. +The Group's business activities are subject to the industrial regulatory policies in China. +According to the national "Thirteen Five-Year" Plan for Energy published at the beginning +of 2017, the total energy consumption shall be controlled at no more than 5.0 billion tonnes +of standard coal by 2020. According to the "Thirteen Five-Year" Plan for Ecosystem issued +by the State Council on at the end of 2016, the proportion of coal consumption to the total +energy consumption shall be reduced from 62.6% in 2016 to below 58% by 2020. For +2017, China demands the total consumption of primary energy to be controlled at 4.4 billion +tonnes of standard coal, the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption to total primary +energy consumption to be raised to 14.3%, and the proportion of coal consumption to be +reduced to approximately 60%. Currently, the nationwide power supply has entered into +the stage of "relative oversupply". In 2016 and 2017, the National Energy Administration +issued the Notice on Further Regulation on Coal-fired Power Generation Planning and +Construction and the Notice on Further Improvement of Approved Construction of +Coal-fired Projects and other documents to strict control on planning and construction of +coal-fired power generation, regulate on the sequence of coal-fired power operation and +construction and exact regulation on the projects in compliance with laws and regulations. +4. +Risk of changes in industry policies +3. +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +78 +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. +As the mining process proceeds further and production conditions become increasingly +complicated, the Group's corporate mining cost may increase gradually. Furthermore, a +number of factors, including the long-term price increase of productive resources, increase +in resource and environmental constraints and changes in fiscal and taxation policies, may +lead to an increase in the Group's costs. +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. +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. +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. +Risk of macroeconomic fluctuations +1. +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. +(V) Major risks faced +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +2016 Annual Report 77 +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. +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.

Furthermore, +the Company will strengthen the cultivation and introduction of interdisciplinary talents to +lay a solid cornerstone for its "Going Overseas" strategy. +Due to the complex economic, social, political and religious conditions in the globe and +the fluctuations in exchange rates, the risk of investments in different countries varies +significantly. Given the highly competitive energy market worldwide, the uncertainties in +the Group's international operations may have an impact on its overseas business. +Risk of international operations +To cope with the risk of integrated operations, the Group will take an array of measures +based on production safety, including scientific scheduling and plan management, +improve railway and port collection and distribution system, strengthen the coordination +of power grid, and strengthen the operation management of production equipment, with +an aim at balanced production and uninterrupted integrated operations to maximize its +competitiveness. +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.

THE EXAMINATION AND EVALUATION AND THE INCENTIVE MECHANISM +FOR THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT +The Company established the remuneration package of the senior management in accordance +with the Provisional Measures for the Administration of the Annual Remuneration of the +Senior Management of China Shenhua Energy Company Limited. The Company has adopted +a performance appraisal system for senior management which combines annual appraisal of +operational performance and appraisal of operational performance over the terms of office. Such +annual appraisal and appraisal over the terms of office are conducted based on the letter of +responsibility of operational performance signed by the Board and the management. +The remuneration of the management is determined in accordance with the Provisional Measures +for the Administration of the Annual Remuneration of the Senior Management. In addition to +the basic salary, the Board of the Company conducts appraisal based on the performance of the +management, and a performance bonus is determined based on the results of such appraisal. +VIII. INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT +The Company has established a risk-oriented internal control system. The internal control and risk +management procedures of the Company include risk assessment and reporting at the beginning +of the year, quarterly major risk monitoring, daily system risk review and specialized supervision +and inspection on internal control, and annual internal control evaluation, forming an integrated +closed-loop management system. Also, a hierarchical work organizational structure comprising +the Board and the Audit Committee, the functional departments of the headquarters and the +subsidiaries and branches of the Company was established to safeguard the effective operation of +internal control and risk management. The Board is responsible for risk management and internal +monitoring and control systems, and is accountable for reviewing the effectiveness of such +systems. The Board conducts review on risk management and internal monitoring and control +systems once a year. The Board considers that the risk management and internal monitoring and +control systems of the Group were effectively operated in 2018. +Applicable ✓ Not applicable +It is the responsibility of the Board of the Company to establish a sound and effective internal +control and evaluate its effectiveness, and make bona fide disclosure on the Self-assessment +Report on Internal Control in accordance with the requirements under the Enterprise Internal +Control Normative System. The Supervisory Committee is responsible for the supervision on the +internal control system established and implemented by the Board, while the management level +is responsible for the organization and guidance of the daily operation of internal control within the +enterprise. +2018 Annual Report 165 +166 +An internal control supervision and inspection mechanism was formed to conduct evaluation on +internal control on annual basis. Procedures for internal control evaluation include: formulating +a proposal for internal control evaluation, establishing a working committee of internal control +inspection, conducting self-evaluation on internal control, conducting evaluation on internal +control by inspectors, communicating and identifying deficiencies in internal control, rectifying +deficiencies in internal control and preparing report on internal control. The Company has +evaluated the effectiveness of internal control for 2018 in accordance with the aforementioned +procedures. +The 2018 Proposal for Internal Control Evaluation of the Company was considered and approved +by the Audit Committee under the Board, and the 2018 Annual Report on Internal Control +Evaluation was considered and approved by the Board. The Board and the Audit Committee of the +Company are of the view that such inspection and supervision mechanism is able to evaluate the +effectiveness of internal control and risk management operation of the Company. +According to the evaluation, during the reporting period, all businesses and matters involving +major risks have been included in the scope of evaluation, and internal control system has +been established for and effectively implemented on major businesses and matters, which +accomplished the objectives of internal control of the Company. +As presented in the 2018 Annual Self-assessment Report on Internal Control of the Board, no +material defects were found in the internal control of financial reporting as at the base date of the +Assessment Report on Internal Control, pursuant to the identification of material defects the +internal control over the financial reporting of the Company. The Board is of the opinion that the +Company has maintained effective internal control over its financial reporting in all material aspects +in accordance with the requirements under the Enterprise Internal Control Normative System and +relevant regulations and its supplementary guidelines as well as other regulatory requirements +on internal control. Based on the identification of material defects in the internal control over +non-financial reporting of the Company, no material defects were identified by the Company in +the internal control over non-financial reporting as at the base date of the Assessment Report on +Internal Control. Nothing that would affect the evaluation result of the effectiveness of internal +control occurred from the base date of the Assessment Report on Internal Control to the date of +issuance of the Assessment Report on Internal Control. +Regarding the treatment and publishing of inside information, the Company has formulated +internal systems such as the Administrative Measures for the Insider Information and Insider +Registration and the Administrative Measures for Information Disclosure of Internal Report for +Material Matters, which stipulated, among others, the scope of insider information and insiders, +reporting process, registration and filing, and prohibited behaviors. The scope of insiders is under +strict control so as to eliminate the risk of insider information leakage. +The objectives of the internal control of the Company are to provide reasonable assurance on +lawful operation and management, asset safety and the truthfulness and completeness of +financial reports and relevant information, to enhance operation efficiency and effectiveness, and +to facilitate the implementation of development strategies. As there are inherent limitations on +internal control, assurance can only be provided for the above objectives to a certain reasonable +extent. In addition, there are certain risks in predicting the effectiveness of future internal control +based on the results of assessment on internal control given to the inappropriate internal control +or the loosened level of compliance with policies and procedures on internal control that may be +resulted by changes in different circumstances. +Subject matter +Section IX Corporate Governance and

The recoverable amounts of each +cash-generating unit were determined by value in +use method. +Owing to the unsatisfactory financial performance of +certain Group's mines, the management identified +certain non-current assets relating to coal mines +having impairment indications.

These matters were addressed in +the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion +thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. +KEY AUDIT MATTERS +We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing ("HKSAS") issued by the +Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accounts ("HKICPA"). Our responsibilities under those standards +are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial +Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA's +Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the "Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical +responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is +sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. +BASIS FOR OPINION +In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated +financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2018, and of its consolidated financial performance +and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial +Reporting Standards ("IFRSS") issued by the International Accounting Standard Board ("IASB") and have +been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies +Ordinance. +We have audited the consolidated financial statements of China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +(the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group") set out on pages 183 to +297, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, and the +consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of +changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the +consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. +OPINION +reconciling input data to supporting +evidence, such as approved budgets and +considering the reasonableness of these +budgets. +TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF CHINA SHENHUA ENERGY COMPANY LIMITED +(incorporated in the People's Republic of China with limited liability) +OTHER INFORMATION +Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do +not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. +Hong Kong +Certified Public Accountants +Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu +The engagement partner on the audit resulting in the independent auditor's report is Yam Siu Man. +From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters +that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period +and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or +regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we +determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences +of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such +communication. +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. +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. +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. +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. +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. +AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED +FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) +Section XIII Independent Auditor's Report and Financial Statements (Continued) +2018 Annual Report 181 +Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting +estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. +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. +Identify and assess the risks of 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. +As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain +professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: +Our objectives are to obtain 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 HKSAs 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. +Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process. +AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED +FINANCIAL STATEMENTS +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. +The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial +statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRSS issued by the IASB and the disclosure +requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors +determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from +material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. +RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE +FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS +Section XIII Independent Auditor's Report and Financial Statements (Continued) +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the +other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with +the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to +be materially misstated.

The +amount of production and maintenance funds utilised would be transferred from the specific reserve account to retained +earnings. +General reserve +Pursuant to relevant regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance, the Company's subsidiary, Shenhua Finance Co., Ltd. +("Shenhua Finance"), is required to set aside a general reserve by the end of each financial year through appropriations +of profit after tax as determined in accordance with China Accounting Standards at a certain ratio of the ending balance of +gross risk-bearing assets to cover potential losses against such assets. +The appropriation to the discretionary surplus reserve is subject to the shareholders' approval.

The consideration transferred in a business combination is +measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the +assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the +acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. +Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred. +At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised +at their fair value, except that deferred tax assets or liabilities, and assets or liabilities related to +employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income +Taxes and IAS 19 Employee benefits respectively. +Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount +of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously +held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the +identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after re-assessment, the net of the +acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the +sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree +and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is +recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain. +Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a +proportionate share of the entity's net assets in the event of liquidation are initially measured at +the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree's +identifiable net assets. +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost (subject +to certain exceptions) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted for any +remeasurement of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value +of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. Subsequently, the lease liability is adjusted +for interest and lease payments, as well as the impact of lease modifications, amongst others. +For the classification of cash flows, the Group currently presents upfront prepaid lease payments +as investing cash flows in relation to leasehold lands for owned use and those classified as +investment properties while other operating lease payments are presented as operating cash +flows.

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. +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. +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. +Taxation +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +3. +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Revenue from contracts with customers (upon application of IFRS 15 in accordance +with transitions in Note 2) +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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Obligations for land reclamation +The Group's obligations for land reclamation consist of spending estimates at both surface and +underground mines in accordance with the PRC rules and regulations. The Group estimates its +liabilities for land reclamation and mine closure based upon detailed calculations of the amount +and timing of the future cash flows for the required work.

The +Group records a corresponding asset associated with the liability for final reclamation and mine +closure. The obligation and corresponding asset are recognised in the period in which the liability +is incurred. The asset is depreciated on the units-of-production method over its expected life +and the liability is accreted to the projected spending date. As changes in estimates occur (such +as mine plan revisions, changes in estimated costs, or changes in timing of the performance of +reclamation activities), the revisions to the obligation and the corresponding asset are recognised +at the appropriate discount rate. +Costs for restoration of subsequent site damage which is caused on an ongoing basis during +production are provided for at their net present values and charged to profit or loss as extraction +progresses. Where the costs of site restoration are not anticipated to be significant, they are +expensed as incurred. +Intangible assets +Intangible assets acquired separately +Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at costs less +accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation for intangible +assets with finite useful lives is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful +lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting +period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. +Internally-generated intangible assets - research and development expenditure +Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. +An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development activities (or from the +development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have +been demonstrated: +the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use +or sale; +• +• +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. +At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible, +intangible assets with finite useful lives to determine whether there is any indication that these +assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of +the relevant asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). +Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing +value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax +discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks +specific to the asset (or a cash-generating unit) for which the estimates of future cash flows have +not been adjusted. +Goodwill +Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of +acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any. +For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash- +generating units (or group of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies +of the combination, which represent the lowest level at which the goodwill is monitored for +internal management purposes and not larger than an operating segment. +A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or +more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill arising on +an acquisition in a reporting period, the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated +is tested for impairment before the end of that reporting period. If the recoverable amount of +the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first +to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets +of the unit on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any +impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised +for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. +On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit or any of the cash-generating unit within the +group of cash-generating units, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination +of the amount of profit or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of an operation within +the cash-generating unit (or a cash-generating unit within a group of cash-generating units), the +amount of goodwill disposed of is measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation (or +the cash-generating unit) disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit (or the group of +cash-generating units) retained. +Investments in associates +An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is +the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not +control or joint control over those policies. +The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial +statements using the equity method of accounting. The financial statements of associates +used for equity accounting purposes are prepared using uniform accounting policies as those of +the Group for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Under the equity method, +an investment in an associate is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial +position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and +other comprehensive income of the associate. When the Group's share of losses of an associate +exceeds the Group's interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in +substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues +recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the +Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of that associate. +On acquisition of the investment in an associate, any excess of the cost of acquisition over +the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities of the investee is +recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any +excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the +cost of investment, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss in the period in +which the investment is acquired. +2018 Annual Report 205 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +3. +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Investments in associates (Continued) +The Group assesses whether there is an objective evidence that the interest in an associate may +be impaired. When any objective evidence exists, the entire carrying amount of the investment +(including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 as a single asset by +comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) +with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss is recognised when the recoverable amount is +less the carrying value of the investment in associates. Any reversal of that impairment loss is +recognised in accordance with IAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment +subsequently increases. +When the Group reduces its ownership interest in an associate but the Group continues to use +the equity method, the Group reclassifies to profit or loss the proportion of the gain or loss that +had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in +ownership interest if that gain or loss would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the +related assets or liabilities. +When a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses resulting +from the transactions with the associate are recognised in the Group's consolidated financial +statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group. +Non-current assets held for sale +Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount +will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This +condition is regarded as met only when the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate +sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such +asset (or disposal group) and its sale is highly probable.

In assessing whether there has been a significant +increase in the credit risk since initial recognition of financial guarantee contracts, the Group +considers the changes in the risk that the specified debtor will default on the contract. +Despite the aforegoing, the Group assumes that the credit risk on a debt instrument has +not increased significantly since initial recognition if the debt instrument is determined to +have low credit risk at the reporting date. A debt instrument is determined to have low +credit risk if i) it has a low risk of default, ii) the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its +contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and iii) adverse changes in economic and +business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of +the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations. +Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Group presumes that the credit +risk has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more +than 30 days past due, unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information that +demonstrates otherwise. +Significant increase in credit risk (Continued) +(ii) +(i) +Impairment of financial assets (upon application IFRS 9 with transitions in accordance with +Note 2) (Continued) +Financial assets (Continued) +Financial instruments (Continued) +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +3. +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +218 +Dividends from these investments in equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss +when the Group's right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly +represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

The Group reviews the +estimated useful lives and residual value of the assets regularly based on the Group's +historical experience with similar assets and taking into account anticipated technological +changes. Depreciation for future periods is adjusted if there is a significant change from +previous estimates. The carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment is disclosed +in Note 17. +Deferred tax assets +As at 31 December 2018, deferred tax assets of RMB3,083 million (2017: RMB3,798 +million) have been recognised in the Group's consolidated statement of financial position. +No deferred tax asset has been recognised on the tax losses of RMB7,532 million (2017: +RMB7,268 million) and deductible temporary differences of RMB6,685 million (2017: +RMB6,555 million) due to the unpredictability of future profit streams. The realisation of the +deferred tax assets mainly depends on whether sufficient future profits or taxable temporary +differences will be available in the future. 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 amounting to RMB811 +million as at 31 December 2018 (RMB749 million as at 1 January 2018) are measured at +fair values with fair values being determined based on unobservable inputs using valuation +techniques as set out in Note 40.3.

The information about the +ECL and the Group's accounts and bills receivables are disclosed in Note 27 and 40.2, +respectively. +Obligations for land reclamation +The estimation of the liabilities for final reclamation and mine closure involves the estimates +of the amount and timing for the future cash spending as well as the discount rate used +for reflecting current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks +specific to the liability. The Group considers the factors including development plan of the +mines, the geological structure of the mining regions and reserve volume to determine +the scope, amount and timing of reclamation and mine closure works to be performed. +Determination of the effect of these factors involves judgements from the Group and the +estimated liabilities may turn out to be different from the actual expenditure to be incurred. +The discount rate used by the Group may also be altered to reflect the changes in the +market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability, such +as change of the borrowing rate and inflation rate in the market. As changes in estimates +occur (such as mine plan revisions, changes in estimated costs, or changes in timing of the +performance of reclamation activities), the revisions to the obligation will be recognised at +the appropriate discount rate. The carrying amounts of the obligations are disclosed in Note +37. +The Group's derivative financial instruments represent cross-currency exchange rate swaps, and +are initially recognised at fair value at the date when the derivative contracts are entered into, and +remeasured at fair value at the end of the reporting period, with any gains or losses recognised in +profit or loss. +2018 Annual Report 231 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +2018 Annual Report 229 +The Group uses provision matrix to calculate ECL for accounts and bills receivables. The +provision rates are based on the aging of accounts and bills receivables as groupings of +receivables that have similar loss patterns. The provision matrix is based on the Group's +historical default rates taking into consideration forward-looking information that is available +without undue costs or effort. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates +are reassessed and changes in the forward-looking information are considered. In addition, +accounts and bills receivables with significant balances and credit impaired are assessed for +ECL individually. +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 and interests +in associates, 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. +In considering the impairment losses that may be required for current receivables and other +financial assets, future cash flows need to be determined. One of the key assumptions that +has to be applied is about the ability of the debtors to settle the receivables. +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION +UNCERTAINTY +In the application of the Group's accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, the Directors +are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of +assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated +assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be +relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. +The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to +accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision +affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects +both current and future periods. +4.1 +Critical judgements in applying accounting policies +The following are critical judgements, apart from those involving estimation (see Note 4.2 +below), that the Directors have made in the process of applying the Group's accounting +policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the +consolidated financial statements. +Control over Hebei Guohua Dingzhou Power Co., Ltd. ("Dingzhou Power") +Note 46 describes that Dingzhou Power is a subsidiary of the Company although the +Company has only 41% ownership interest and voting rights in Dingzhou Power. The +remaining 59% of ownership interest and voting rights are owned by two shareholders that +are unrelated to the Group as to 19% and 40%, respectively. Details of Dingzhou Power are +set out in Note 46. +4. +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Impairment losses +In making their judgement, the Directors considered that the other shareholders of Dingzhou +Power offered the Company, for the right on appointment of the majority members of the +board of directors which is the governing body of most of the relevant activities of Dingzhou +Power. The Directors considered that the Company has the practical ability to direct the +relevant activities that most significantly affect Dingzhou Power's returns unilaterally. After +assessment, the Directors concluded that the Company has sufficiently dominant power +over the board of directors of Dingzhou Power and therefore the Company has control over +Dingzhou Power. +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. +Coal reserves +228 +4.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty +CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION +UNCERTAINTY (CONTINUED) +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2018 +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. +4. +Coal purchased +Inventories +Current assets +75,557 +313 +2,303 +2,351 +2 +101 +1,062 +67,319 +2,106 +Lease prepayments +Other non-current assets +Equity instruments at FVTOCI +Intangible assets (Note 20) +Construction in progress (Note 18) +Property, plant and equipment (Note 17) +Non-current assets +1,539 +RMB million +Deferred tax assets +Interests in associates +11.

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.

In particular, the coal +production and sales are expected to further shrink in Europe and the United +States. At the same time, developing countries in Asia will continue to be +the mainstay of new coal demand due to their economic and technological +conditions, providing support for global coal demand and prices. +Prospects for 2019 +The international coal price featured a seasonal change with supply and demand +relations, and was higher than that of last year. As of 31 December, the spot +price of Newcastle NEWC steam coal decrease from USD104.94/tonne early +the year to USD101.38/tonne, with the annual average price increasing by +21.3% year on year. +In 2018, coal imports of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan in East Asia +remained basically stable, while the coal consumption along the "Belt and +Road" countries, especially in Southeast Asia and South Asia, has increased +significantly. Coal imports volume of India, Thailand, Vietnam and other +countries have grown by more than two digits. In 2018, the global coal supply +saw an increase, and exporting countries continued to be focused on Indonesia, +Australia, and Russia. Among them, Indonesia exported 540 million tonnes of +coal, up 10.5% year on year, the coal export of Russia increased by 3.4%, and +the coal export of Australia increased by 2.6%. +The global energy structure adjustment continued to be pushed ahead, and +non-fossil energy maintained a rapid growth.

The +export volume of Russia, Mongolia and other countries will increase, and the +supply of Australia will remain stable. In 2019, it is expected that the global +coal market will show a balance in supply and demand. Thermal coal price will +fluctuate with seasonal changes. +Section V Directors' Report (Continued) +Overall, the supply and demand of coal are expected to be balanced in +2019. However, subject to uncertainties, including resource conditions and +transportation constraints, there may be structural tight or loose supply in some +periods and regions. +The import volume of coal will be basically stable in 2019 over the previous +year. +In 2019, despite a more complex and severe economic development +environment in China, it is expected that the economy in China will continue to +operate within a reasonable interval, providing energy consumption with certain +support. The energy consumption of non-fossil energy in the overall society +is growing rapidly. The coal consumption is expected to be basically stable. In +2019, the coal production capacity will continue to be released, while affected +by the increasingly stringent safety and environmental protection inspections, +the coal production growth is expected to be limited in 2019. +Prospects for 2019 +In respect of the demand side, total consumption of coal increased by 1%, +continuing the positive growth since 2017, and was concentrated in the power +and chemical industries, showing a trend of stable quantity and structural +optimization. The coal consumption in the power and chemical industries +recorded significant increase, the coal consumption in the steel and building +materials industries recorded steady increase, and the coal consumption +in other industries and residents has continued to decrease. The coastal +coal supply channel was smoother, the Daqin line and the Shuohuang line +were operating at a high level, and the capacity of Mengji line continued to +be released. The coal transportation volume through railways in China was +2,380 million tonnes, representing a year on year increase of 10.4%. The +volume of coal shipment through major ports in China was 748 million tonnes, +representing a year-on-year increase of 3.0%.

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. +5 7 +335,216 +(239,156) +233,263 +(162,374) +Gross profit +Selling expenses +96,060 +70,889 +(581) +(555) +General and administrative expenses +Research and development costs +Other gains and losses +Other income +Loss allowances, net of reversal +Other expenses +Interest income +(9,119) +(8,948) +(2,499) +(1,362) +282 +12 +(955) +Cost of sales +Goods and services +Revenue +RMB million +188 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Section X 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 the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and +timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control +that we identify during our audit. +We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical +requirements regarding independence and communicate with them all relationships and other matters +that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and, where applicable, actions taken to +eliminate threats or safeguards applied. +From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were +of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and +are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or +regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we +determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences +of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such +communication. +The engagement partner on the audit resulting in the independent auditor's report is Guen Kin Shing. +KPMG +4,651 +Certified Public Accountants +10 Chater Road +Central, Hong Kong +25 March 2022 +2021 Annual Report 189 +Consolidated statement of Profit or Loss and +Other Comprehensive Income +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +Year ended 31 December +2021 +Notes +RMB million +2020 +8th Floor, Prince's Building +3,888 +When assessing the recoverable amounts, +management is required to make a number of +judgemental assumptions, particularly relating +to the discount rates, the underlying cash +flows projection based on the future market +supply and demand conditions.

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. +Judgements made by management in the application of IFRSS that have significant effect on the +financial statements and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in Note 4. +Significant accounting policies adopted by the Group are disclosed below. +Basis of consolidation +The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and +entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company: +has power over the investee; +is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and +has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. +The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate +that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. +204 +China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +59,362 +The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to +accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision +affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects +both current and future periods. +The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for +certain financial instruments as disclosed in Note 40.3, which have been measured at fair value at +the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies set out below. +The IASB has issued certain new and revised IFRSS that are first effective or available for early +adoption for the current accounting period of the Group. Note 2 provides information on any +changes in accounting policies resulting from initial application of these developments to the +extent that they are relevant to the Group for the current and prior accounting periods reflected in +these financial statements. +The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable +International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSS"), which collective term includes all +applicable individual International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting +Standards ("IASS") and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board +(the "IASB"). They are presented in Renminbi ("RMB") and all values are rounded to the +nearest million (RMB' million) except when otherwise indicated. In addition, the consolidated +financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of +Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("Listing Rules") and by the Hong Kong +Companies Ordinance ("CO"). +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. +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. +In 2007, the Company issued 1,800,000,000 A shares with a par value of RMB1.00 each, at a price +of RMB36.99 per A share in the PRC.

The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for +the current accounting period except for the amendment to IFRS 16, Covid-19-Related Rent +Concessions, which provides a practical expedient that allows lessees not to assess whether +particular rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic are +lease modifications and, instead, account for those rent concessions as if they were not lease +modifications, if the eligibility conditions are met. One of these conditions requires the reduction +in lease payments affect only payments originally due on or before a specified time limit.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +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 +Non-current assets held for sale (Continued) +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. +The Group assesses whether there is an objective evidence that the interest in an associate may +be impaired. When any objective evidence exists, the entire carrying amount of the investment +(including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 as a single asset by +comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) +with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss is recognised when the recoverable amount is less +than the carrying value of the investment in associates. Any reversal of that impairment loss is +recognised in accordance with IAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment +subsequently increases. +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. +Investments in associates (Continued) +SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +3. +For the year ended 31 December 2021 +Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued) +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. +208 +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. +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. +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. +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.

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. +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. +the Group's performance creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the +Group performs; or +the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group's +performance as the Group performs; +Control is transferred over time and revenue is recognised over time by reference to the progress +towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following +criteria is met: +A performance obligation represents a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is +distinct or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same. +2021 Annual Report 209 +2021 Annual Report 207 +An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence.

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.

When the Group disposes of an +operation within the cash-generating unit (or a cash-generating unit within a group of cash- +generating units), the amount of goodwill disposed of is measured on the basis of the relative +values of the operation (or the cash-generating unit) disposed of and the portion of the cash- +generating unit (or the group of cash-generating units) retained. +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.

The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based +on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition. +The Group always recognises lifetime ECL for accounts receivable. The ECL on these assets are +assessed individually for credit-impaired debtors or using a provision matrix with appropriate +groupings. +Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected +life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime +ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the +reporting date. Assessments are done based on the Group's historical credit loss experience, +adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an +assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future +conditions. +3. +The Group recognises a loss allowance for ECL on financial assets which are subject to +impairment under IFRS 9 (including accounts receivable, other receivables, long-term receivables, +loans to China Energy Group and fellow subsidiaries, entrusted loans and financial guarantee +contracts).

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

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. +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. +Investment risk +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 +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. +76 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +30.00 +4. +5. +Risk of project management +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. +To cope with the risk of project management, the Group continuously strengthens +its construction safety management, enforces its administration in safety emergency +plans and eliminates major and more severe safety incidents. 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. +Risk of international operations +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.

ENSURANCE OF INDEPENDENCE OF LISTED COMPANY BY CONTROLLING +SHAREHOLDERS +80 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +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. +Risk of integrated operations +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.

Note 2 provides information on any +changes in accounting policies resulting from initial application of these developments to the +extent that they are relevant to the Group for the current and prior accounting periods reflected +in these financial statements. +The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable +International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSS"), which collective term includes all applicable +individual International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards ("IASS") +and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB"). They are +presented in Renminbi ("RMB") and all values are rounded to the nearest million (RMB' million) +except when otherwise indicated. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include +applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock +Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("Listing Rules") and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance +("CO"). +Basis of preparation +The amendments introduce a temporary mandatory exception from deferred tax accounting for +the income tax arising from tax laws enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Pillar +Two model rules published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development +("OECD") (income tax arising from such tax laws is hereafter referred to as "Pillar Two income +taxes"), including tax laws that implement qualified domestic minimum top-up taxes described +in those rules. The amendments also introduce disclosure requirements about such tax. The +amendments are immediately effective upon issuance and require retrospective application. Based +on a preliminary analysis, which was limited to data of companies in the Group, there would have +been no notable additional tax expense in the relevant countries if the Pillar Two income taxes +had been required to be applied in respect of the year ended 31 December 2023. For the impact +analysis to be carried out conclusively, it would need to include not only companies in the Group +but also China Energy Group and fellow subsidiaries. It is therefore not currently possible to rule +out that the inclusion of China Energy Group and fellow subsidiaries would have had an effect +on the tax expense, with financial implications for the Group, if the Pillar Two income taxes had +been required to be applied for the year ended December 31, 2023. +rules +Amendments to IAS 12, Income taxes: International tax reform - Pillar Two model +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +3. +MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES +For the year ended 31 December 2023 +Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or +liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; +3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Basis of preparation (Continued) +The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except +for certain financial instruments as disclosed in Note 39.3, which have been measured at fair +value at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies set out below. +Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for +goods and services. +Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an +orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether +that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the +fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset +or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the +asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes +in the Group's consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share- +based payment transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, leasing +transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 16 Leases, and measurements that have some +similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in IAS 2 Inventories +or value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. +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: +Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are +observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and +Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. +The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSS requires management to make +judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported +amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions +are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable +under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about +carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual +results may differ from these estimates. +238 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2023 +(Expressed in RMB) +2.

For all other +transactions, the amendments are applied to those transactions that occur after the beginning +of the earliest period presented. +236 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Basis of preparation (Continued) +has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. +Judgements made by management in the application of IFRSs that have significant effect on +the financial statements and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in Note 4. +The Group assesses whether there is an objective evidence that the interest in an associate may +be impaired. When any objective evidence exists, the entire carrying amount of the investment +(including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 as a single asset by +comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) +with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss is recognised when the recoverable amount is +less than the carrying value of the investment in associates.

The financial statements of associates used +for equity accounting purposes are prepared using uniform accounting policies as those of the +Group for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Under the equity method, an +investment in an associate is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial +position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and +other comprehensive income of the associate. When the Group's share of losses of an associate +exceeds the Group's interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in +substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate, after applying the expected +credit losses (the "ECL") model to such other long-term interests where applicable), the Group +discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the +extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf +of that associate. +An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is +the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not +control or joint control over those policies. +Investments in associates +On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit or any of the cash-generating unit within the +group of cash-generating units, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination +of the amount of profit or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of an operation within +the cash-generating unit (or a cash-generating unit within a group of cash-generating units), the +amount of goodwill disposed of is measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation +(or the cash-generating unit) disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit (or the group +of cash-generating units) retained. +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. +Goodwill (Continued) +3.

Gains and losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset +are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of +the asset and are recognised in profit or loss in the period when the asset is derecognised. +the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for +use or sale; +Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill +The recoverable amount of tangible and intangible assets are estimated individually, when it is +not possible to estimate the recoverable amount individually, the Group estimates the recoverable +amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent +basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash- +generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units +for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. +The right-of-use asset recognised when a lease is capitalised is initially measured at cost, +which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability plus any lease payments made at or +before the commencement date, and any initial direct costs incurred. Where applicable, the +cost of the right-of-use assets also includes an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove +the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, +discounted to their present value, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset +is subsequently stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. +Where the lease is capitalised, the lease liability is initially recognised at the present +value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted using the interest +rate implicit in the lease or, that rate cannot be readily determined, using a relevant +incremental borrowing rate. After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at +amortised cost and interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method. +Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the +measurement of the lease liability and hence are charged to profit or loss in the accounting +period in which they are incurred. +At the lease commencement date, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease +liability, except for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and +leases of low-value assets. When the Group enters into a lease in respect of a low-value +asset, the Group decides whether to capitalise the lease on a lease-by-lease basis. The +lease payments associated with those leases which are not capitalised are recognised as +an expense on a systematic basis over the lease term. +Where the contract contains lease component(s) and non-lease component(s), the Group +has elected not to separate non-lease components and accounts for each lease component +and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases. +As a lessee +(i) +At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A +contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified +asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

In allocating the impairment loss, the impairment loss is allocated first to +reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill (if applicable) and then to the other assets on a basis +based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. The carrying amount of an asset is not +reduced below the highest of its fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable), its value in use +(if determinable) and zero. The amount of the impairment loss that would otherwise have been +allocated to the asset is allocated pro rata to the other assets of the unit. An impairment loss is +recognised immediately in profit or loss. +Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing +value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre- +tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the +risks specific to the asset (or a cash-generating unit) for which the estimates of future cash flows +have not been adjusted. +At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible, +intangible assets with finite useful lives to determine whether there is any indication that these +assets have suffered an impairment loss.

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. +Obligations for land reclamation +Property, plant and equipment (Continued) +3.

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.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this +way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, +or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been +reduced to zero. +The lease liability is also remeasured when there is a change in the scope of a lease or +the consideration for a lease that is not originally provided for in the lease contract ("lease +modification") that is not accounted for as a separate lease. In this case the lease liability is +remeasured based on the revised lease payments and lease term using a revised discount +rate at the effective date of the modification. The only exceptions are any rent concessions +which arose as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and which satisfied the +conditions set out in paragraph 46B of IFRS 16 Leases. In such cases, the Group took +advantage of the practical expedient set out in paragraph 46A of IFRS 16 and recognised +the change in consideration as if it were not a lease modification. +In the consolidated statement of financial position, the current portion of long-term lease +liabilities is determined as the present value of contractual payments that are due to be +settled within twelve months after the reporting period. +As a lessor +When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is +a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers +substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an underlying assets +to the lessee. If this is not the case, the lease is classified as an operating lease. +When a contract contains lease and non-lease components, the Group allocates the +consideration in the contract to each component on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. +When the Group is an intermediate lessor, the sub-leases are classified as a finance lease +or as an operating lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. +If the head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the exemption method, +then the Group classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease. +2023 Annual Report 255 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2023 +(i) +(Expressed in RMB) +Inventories +Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

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

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) +Financial assets (Continued) +Impairment of financial assets (Continued) +Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the +expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of +lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months +after the reporting date. Assessments are done based on the Group's historical credit loss +experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions +and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast +of future conditions. +(i) Significant increase in credit risk (Continued) +an actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument's external +credit rating (if available); +significant deterioration in external market indicators of credit risk, e.g. a significant +increase in the credit spread, the credit default swap prices for the debtor; +existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions +that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor's ability to meet its +debt obligations; +an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor; +an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or +technological environment of the debtor that results in a significant decrease in the +debtor's ability to meet its debt obligations. +Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Group presumes that the credit +risk has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more +than 30 days past due, unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information that +demonstrates otherwise. +Despite the foregoing, the Group assumes that the credit risk on a debt instrument has +not increased significantly since initial recognition if the debt instrument is determined to +have low credit risk at the reporting date. A debt instrument is determined to have low +credit risk if i) it has a low risk of default, ii) the borrower has a strong capacity to meet +its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and iii) adverse changes in economic +and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability +of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations. +For financial guarantee contracts, the date that the Group becomes a party to the irrevocable +commitment is considered to be the date of initial recognition for the purposes of assessing +the financial instrument for impairment. In assessing whether there has been a significant +increase in the credit risk since initial recognition of financial guarantee contracts, the Group +considers the changes in the risk that the specified debtor will default on the contract. +260 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +For the year ended 31 December 2023 +(Expressed in RMB) +3.

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 36. +5. REVENUE FROM GOODS AND SERVICES +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.

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 16. +Deferred tax assets +As at 31 December 2023, deferred tax assets of RMB5,469 million (2022: RMB5,019 +million as restated) have been recognised in the Group's consolidated statement of financial +position. No deferred tax asset has been recognised on the tax losses of RMB8,481 million +(2022: RMB8,621 million) and deductible temporary differences of RMB9,331 million (2022: +RMB9,349 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 RMB2,740 million as at 31 December 2023 (RMB2,888 million +as at 31 December 2022) are measured at fair values with fair values being determined +based on unobservable inputs using valuation techniques as set out in Note 39.3.

The Company is the largest equity owner of Dingzhou Power and no +other equity owners individually or in aggregate had the power to control Dingzhou Power +according to the articles of association.

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. +Impairment losses +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. +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. +2023 Annual Report 269 +Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) +(i) +For the year ended 31 December 2023 +Critical judgements in applying accounting policies +4.1 +In considering the impairment losses that may be required for current receivables and other +financial assets, future cash flows need to be determined. One of the key assumptions that +has to be applied is about the ability of the debtors to settle the receivables. +In the application of the Group's accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, the Directors +are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts +of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and +associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered +to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. +The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to +accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision +affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects +both current and future periods. +(ii) +(iii) +One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint +venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member). +(iv) +(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). +Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party. +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. +4.

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. +41.

THE COMPANY'S OUTLOOK FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT +In 2024, the favourable conditions for China's development will outweigh the unfavourable +factors, and the fundamental trend of economic recovery and long-term improvement will +remain unchanged. The economic work of China will adhere to the principle of seeking +progress while maintaining stability and promoting stability with incremental development, +and establishing the new before abolishing the old, reinforcing the counter-cyclical and +inter-cyclical adjustment of macro policies. To this end, China will continue to adopt +proactive fiscal policies and sound monetary policies, take proactive steps to implement +the policies for stabilising expectations, growth and employment, develop and expand +strategic emerging industries, accelerate the development of new productivity boosters, +and endeavour to promote the transition of growth models, structural adjustment, and +quality and efficiency improvement, so as to promote the steady and long-term economic +development in a sustainable manner. It is expected that China's economy will continue +to rebound and improve in 2024, with a GDP growth rate of around 5%. +For the coal industry, sustained economic recovery in China will stimulate the growth +of energy demand. With the release of new coal production capacity and reinforced +supervision on production safety, coal production will remain stable in general. Coal imports +are expected to remain high. Generally, supply and demand of the coal market in 2024 is +poised to be balanced and relaxed, and the price median of coal may remain stable at a +reasonable range. As affected by seasonal fluctuations, emergencies and other factors, +tight supply may occur in some areas and during some periods. +For the power industry, taking into account factors such as macro-economy and +electrification of energy-consuming equipment, China Electricity Council expected that +the total electricity consumption of the whole society will increase by approximately 6% +year-on-year in 2024, and the increment of installed capacity of power generation in 2024 +is expected to be basically equal to that in 2023, and the installed capacity of new energy +power generation may for the first time outweigh the installed capacity of coal-fired power +generation. In view of factors such as growing demand for electricity consumption and +commissioning of power supplies, it is expected that the overall power supply and demand +in China will be tight and balanced in 2024, and the power supply and demand in some +regions will be tight during peak hours. +72 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Section IV Directors' Report (Continued) +(II) Development Strategy of the Company +2023 is the first year to fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the +Communist Party of China.

It is difficult to identify +and prevent risks, which may trigger events such as contract disputes and regulatory +penalties. Changes in the international political and economic situation may lead to +the legal compliance risks in the construction and operation of overseas projects. +To cope with the compliance risk, the Group will optimise the legal compliance risk +prevention system on a continuous basis, carry out compliance risk identification, +early warning and response and disposal in different levels and categories, and use +information technology to improve the effectiveness of compliance management. The +Group will promote the "standardisation of main business contracts", proceed the +"layered listing supervision" mechanism for major cases, and improve the prevention +and response capabilities for major legal cases. The Group will strengthen the +compliance management of coal-fired power projects, such as project approval and +licensing, and standardise the construction and operation of projects. The Group will +enhance the follow-up research on legal systems of the countries where the projects +are located, monitor overseas compliance risks that overseas projects may face in a +regular manner, and implement risk prevention and control measures. +Policy Risk +The business activities of the Group are affected by the national industrial control +policies. The goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" has put forward new and +higher requirements for the high quality development of the energy industry. The +national proposal for accelerating the building of a new energy system to undergo +profound changes in energy supply and demand, structure, and technology will +objectively affect the Company's industrial layout, the approval of new and expansion +projects, and the reform of operation and management mode. +To cope with the policy risks, the Group will strengthen the research on the latest +national industrial policies and regulations, enhance policy coordination, seize the +resource continuation policies window period, promote resource continuity, increase +in reserves and production, license application and the increase of authorised +production capacity. It will also focus on its principal business, and prudently advance +the goal 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 segment, and firmly +promote the clean and efficient utilisation of coal by adhering to the direction of +green, clean and low-carbon development, accelerating the industrial arrangement +of renewable energy, and pushing forward industrial upgrading and green and low- +carbon transformation. The Group will also refine carbon emission standards of all +segments, and strengthen the management of carbon assets, so as to promote the +green electricity and green certificate trading in a well-coordinated way. +82 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +8. +Section IV Directors' Report (Continued) +Risks of International Operations +As the world enters a new era of turbulence and revolution, the global political and +economic landscape will undergo profound changes in the future due to the influence +of various factors such as the relationships among major powers, the slowdown of +global economic recovery, geopolitical tensions, climate changes and the overlapping +of different risks and challenges, and the acceleration of energy transformation and +emission reduction initiatives across different countries will lead to more intensified +competition in the energy market, which may pose uncertainties on the Group's +international operations. +To cope with the risk of international operations, the Group will continue to enhance +its study and judgement on international situation, especially on the Russia-Ukraine +situation, changes in investment policies of host countries, new energy markets +and public security risks, and will further carry out resource evaluation, operation +performance evaluation and technology assessment for overseas projects based +on sound information collection, analysis and research prior to making any decision +on overseas projects investment so as to ensure economic and technological +feasibility. The Group will strengthen overseas risk screening, regularly monitor the +overseas legal compliance risks, and take multiple measures to prevent and resolve +risks. Furthermore, the Group 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 situations. +The exchange rate risk confronted by the Group mainly comes from overseas +operations and recognised assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign +currencies. The major foreign currencies are US dollars, Indonesian rupees etc. For +details, please refer to information in Note "Financial Risk Management Objectives +and Policies" to the financial statements of this report. The Group actively monitors +exchange rate changes to strike a balance between capital and currencies, reducing +the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. +No material change has occurred to the nature and severity of the above significant +risks, particularly those environmental, social and governance-related risks, as +compared to the previous reporting period, and the Group will further improve its +risk assessment and control mechanism, enhance its risk prediction, assessment and +control capabilities, and effectively mitigate the influence of such risks. +81 +2023 Annual Report +To cope with the risk of integrated operations, the Group will continue to strengthen +its core advantage of integrated operations. The Group will take an array of measures +based on safety production, including focusing on the comprehensive coordination +and balance of integrated operations, optimising the layout of coal and power +industries, 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. Additionally, the +Group will actively develop new energy sources, expand the coverage of integrated +operations as much as possible, and optimise the allocation of resources across +the entire industry and multiple factors, with the aim to continuously enhance the +resilience of integrated industrial chain, value chain and supply chain. +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. +Risk of Market Competition +As the domestic coal production capacity continues to unwind and the international +energy market tends to ease, the price of coal faces increased uncertainty. With +the speed-up of reform in power market and the establishment of new energy +system and new power system, the landscape of market competition is evolving at +a faster pace, and the scale and price of transactions are uncertain. The country has +increased the construction of cross-provincial and cross-region coal transportation +railway channels. The coal transportation capacity will be gradually released, and the +structure of transportation tends to be diversified. +In response to the risks of market competition, the Group will strengthen the research +on the macroeconomic situation and improve the accuracy of the pre-judgment to +coal market, formulate coal purchase and sale mechanism and price policy in different +areas and at different times, optimise the structure of coal products, increase brand +advantage on an ongoing basis, strengthen the development of new markets and +the maintenance of existing markets, take coordinated measures to ensure product +and production capacity reserve, focus on coal transfer and consumption markets, +take active and prudent approaches to design coal reserve bases and deepen the +comprehensive coordination of production, transportation, sales, storage and use of +coal. The Group will step up efforts to increase revenue and efficiency of the power +market and power business and conduct risk prevention and control to ensure safety +production. The Group will continue to increase the collection and distribution capacity +of self-owned railways, promote the construction of dedicated railway lines for coal +core areas, accelerate the transformation of capacity expansion of railway lines and +further expand "Large-scale Logistics" business to increase the transportation volume +of non-coal goods. The Group will also deepen synergy and efficiency improvement, +promote model innovation, enhance customer service capabilities, further strengthen +and increase market share, and further consolidate integration advantages. +2023 Annual Report +79 +Section IV Directors' Report (Continued) +3. +Risk of Project Management +2023 Annual Report +The overall progress of the Group's existing projects is stable. However, there are +certain uncertainties in the construction of specific projects. For example, insufficient +project risk prediction, insufficient capacity of the design unit and other factors, which +may lead to the risks of prolonging construction period, delaying construction time +and increase in investment. The failure to fully implement safety responsibility, weak +safety awareness of part of the construction workers, failure to effectively implement +the project safety management system may lead to the risk of safety accidents. +80 China Shenhua Energy Company Limited +Section IV Directors' Report (Continued) +4. +5. +Investment Risk +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.
