(2) Seasonal or periodical characteristics of the operation of the Company

(3) Composition of profit during the reporting period (significant changes in
the proportion of profit from principal operating activities, profit from other
activities, expenses during the period, investment income, subsidy income and
net non-operating income in the total amount of profit if compared to the
previous reporting period and the reasons for such changes)

The Company is mainly engaged in investment, development and operation of the
electric power business. The principal operating income of the Company comes
entirely from electric power generation activities. 

(1) Unit 1 of a controlling subsidiary of the Company Zhejiang Changxing
Electric Power Generation Company Limited has been put into commercial operation
at the end of 2002 and made profits for the Company. The profit from the
principal operating activities of the Company during the reporting period
increased by 15,860,800 yuan in comparison with that of the same period of the
preceding year. 

(2) Expenses during the period of the Company increased by 21,950,700 yuan in
comparison with that of the same period of the preceding year because of the
increase of 7,942,800 yuan of administrative expenses and the decrease in
deposit interest income and the increase in borrowing interest expenditure that
resulted in the increase of 14,007,900 yuan of financial expenses. 

(3) The net non-operating income of the Company is -312,900 yuan representing a
decrease of 7,551,900 yuan in comparison with that of the same period of the
preceding year, which is mainly due to the decrease in net loss on disposal of
fixed assets during the reporting period of the Company.

(4) Significant changes in principal operating activities and its structure in
comparison with that of the preceding reporting period and the reasons for such
changes.

not applicable

(5) Significant changes in profitability of principal operating activities
(gross profit margin) in comparison with that of the preceding reporting period
and the reasons for such changes.

2. Analyses of important matters and their effects and the solution plans

(1) Pursuant to the Notice on Issues relating to Regulating the Electricity
Tariff Management and the Notice on Expediting the Implementation of Same
Electricity Tariffs for Urban and Rural Use by the State Planning Commission,
and upon verification by Document Zhejiashang (2003) No.36 of Zhejiang
Provincial Commodity Pricing Bureau, the contractual electricity tariff of
Taizhou Power Plant of the Company was adjusted to 0.35242 yuan/kwh (tax
exclusive) from 1st January 2003, and the contractual electricity tariff of
Xiaoshan Power Plant of the Company remained the same. As the contractual
electricity tariff of Taizhou Power Plant was reduced by 0.005 yuan/kwh in
comparison with that of 2002, the income from the principal operating activities
of the Company decreased by 7,954,900 yuan during this reporting period.
However, as compared with that of the same period of the preceding year, as Unit
1 of a controlling subsidiary of the Company - Zhejiang Changxing Electric Power
Generation Company Limited (65% of the shares being held by the Company) was put
into commercial operation at the end of 2002 and gained profit for the Company,
the net profit of the Company after consolidation of statements increased by
6,020,100 yuan during this reporting period thus offsetting the effect of the
reduction in electricity tariff on the operating results of the Company. (2)
Pursuant to the Resolutions on Increasing the Registered Capital passed at the
Shareholders' General Meeting of 2002 convened by Zhejiang Jiahua Electric Power
Generation Company Limited (24% of the shares being held by the Company) on 28th
November 2002, all the shareholders unanimously agreed to increase the
registered capital of Zhejiang Jiahua Electric Power Generation Company Limited
to 1,555,190,000 yuan (as at 31st December 2002, the registered capital of
Zhejiang Jiahua Electric Power Generation Company Limited was 555,190,000 yuan.
The accumulative contribution of the Company amounted to 133,250,000 yuan), and
the registered capital will be contributed in 4 instalments in 2003 according to
the respective capital contribution proportions of the shareholders and the
Capital Contribution Plan for 2003 of Zhejiang Jiahua Electric Power Generation
Company Limited. Pursuant to the above resolutions, the Company will increase
capital contribution of 240,000,000 yuan in Zhejiang Jiahua Electric Power
Generation Company Limited in 2003. On 17th March 2003, the Company paid its
investment amount of 60,000,000 yuan according to the above resolutions. (3) In
order to enhance the capital use efficiency, the Company entrusted Industrial &
Commercial Bank of China, Hangzhou Qingchunlu Branch on 27th January, 29th
January and 4th March 2003 respectively to grant loans to the Company's
controlling subsidiary Zhejiang Changxing Electric Power Generation Company
Limited totalling RMB 150 million yuan with 50,000,000 yuan for each instalment
at an annual interest rate of 5.31% for a term of 1 year with an annual
commission charge rate of 0.03%. (4) In line with the resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company authorizing the management team to invest in state
treasury bonds and other securities with an amount less than RMB 300 million
yuan, the Company continued to entrust Zhejiang Provincial International Trust
Investment Corporation to conduct fund management in 2003. The two parties
entered into the Agreement on Trusted Fund Management on 22nd January 2003. As
at the end of this reporting period, the Company has entrusted accumulative fund
totalling 150 million yuan. Pursuant to the agreement, the term of trust shall
commence from the date on which the entrusted fund is deposited into the
designated account of Zhejiang Provincial International Trust Investment
Corporation until 21st January 2004. The two parties have not made any specific
agreement on the gains of the trusted fund management. (5) According to Document
Jijichu (2002) No.2704 Approval of the State Development and Planning Commission
in relation to the Proposal on the Reorganization and Allocation of the Electric
Generation Assets of the State Electric Power Company, during this reporting
period, Zhejiang Provincial Electric Power Company ("ZPEPC") entered into a
Share Transfer Agreement of Zhejiang Southeast Electric Power Company Limited
with China Huaneng Group Corporation ("CHGC"). Pursuant to this agreement,
25.57% of the state-owned legal person shares held by ZPEPC shall be transferred

be 1st January 2003.
