III. The Management's Discussions and Analysis
1. Brief Analysis of Operations of the Company during the Reporting Period
In the 3rd quarter of 2003, the principal operating income and net profit
realized by the Company increased by 77.98% and 102.95% to RMB 1,526 million
yuan and RMB 314 million yuan respectively when compared with those in the same
period of the previous year. The electricity sales completed in this period
increased by 1.918 billion kwh, or 75.30% to 4.465 billion kwh when compared
with that in the same period of the previous year.
The increase in the amount of electricity sales is a primary contributor to the
improved operating records of the Company in the 3rd quarter of 2003 in
comparison with the same period of the previous year. The electricity sales
increase resulted from (a) the addition of 1.186 billion kwh generated by the
two newly commissioned 300 MW units of Zhejiang Changxing Power Generating
Company Limited, a subsidiary controlled by the Company; and (b) the sales
increase brought about by the Company who made full use of its generating
capacity within the safety limits to combat the unprecedented power shortage in
Zhejiang caused by its sustained rapid economic development and the lasting heat
wave in the 3rd quarter of 2003.
In addition, all the electricity sales of the Company were settled at the
contractual price as price bidding in the Zhejiang power market was suspended in
the 3rd quarter of 2003 due to the severe power shortage, whereas 20% of the
electricity sales over the same period in the previous year were settled at the
market price. This raised the settlement price of the electricity sales to a
certain extent and consequently increased the principal operating income of the
Company.
During the period from January to September 2003, the Company's electricity
sales grew by 47.19% to 10.471 billion kwh when compared with the same period of
the previous year; its principal operating income and net profit rose by 44.10%
and 47.95% to RMB 3,532 million yuan and RMB 668 million yuan respectively when
compared with those in the same period of the previous year.

Non-operating Income/
Expenses
a. The rapid increase in the principal operating profit of the Company in
the 3rd quarter is mainly attributable to the increase in the principal
operating income of the Company.
b. The rapid increase in the principal operating profit in the 3rd quarter
led to a drop in the ratio of the other operating profit to the total profit and
the ratio of the expenses to the total profit by 44.44% and 31.31% respectively
when compared with those in the first half of 2003.
c. The return on investment is the dividend received by the Company from
the investees in 2002, of which RMB 3.60 million yuan from the Merchant Bank,
RMB 4.40 million yuan from the Reconstruction Bank, RMB 7.04 million yuan from
the China Everbright Bank and RMB 6 million yuan from the Bank of Communication.
d. The net value of non-operating income/expenses of the Company in the 3rd
quarter is mainly the net losses on retirement of fixed assets in the sum of RMB
11.7853 million yuan. The net losses on retirement of fixed assets from January
to June 2003 amounted to RMB 6.402 million yuan.

2. Analysis of major events and their impact and solutions
(1) The first interim shareholders' general meeting for 2003 was held on 10
August 2003. During the meeting, it was approved that the Company shall use its
own funds to invest in 25% of the equity of Tankeng Hydropower Station. Under
the Tankeng Hydropower Project, 3 x 200 MW generating units will be built.
(2) The second interim shareholders' general meeting for 2003 was held on 16
October 2003. During the meeting, it was approved that the Company shall use
its own funds to invest in the Xiaoshan Gas Turbine Power Project. Under the

The principal activities of the Company are power generation. The acute power
shortage in Zhejiang at present offers a good development opportunity for the
Company. Its investment in the new power plants in Zhejiang will further enlarge
the Company's installed capacity, increase its generation income and boost its
core competitiveness.
(3) In accordance with the requirement of the 10th National Environmental
Protection Five-year Plan to promote desulfurization of the active thermal power
plants and "dual control zones", the Company selected Zhejiang Tiandi
Environmental Protection Engineering Co. through bidding in August 2003 to
undertake the desulfurization project for the 2 x 125 MW coal-fired generating
units in Xiaoshan Power Plant. Based on Document Zhe Ji Ji Chu No.(2003)240
Approval of Feasibility Study Report on Xiaoshan Power plant Flue Gas
Desulfurization Project issued by Zhejiang Provincial Development Planning
Commission, the planned total investment of the project amounts to RMB 183.18
