  1. The “double carbon” goal boosts the development of the renewable energy industry for reaching a new peak

General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed that the PRC’s CO2 emissions are strived to reach a peak by 2030 and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. Along with the economic growth and increased demand of energy, the PRC has continuously reduced coal power generation, vigorously developed and utilized non-fossil energy sources such as wind power, solar power, hydropower and nuclear power, replacing coal-fired power with clean energy. In 2021, the NDRC and the National Energy Administration have successively promulgated a series of guiding opinions to promote the integration of grid source, charge storage and multi-energy complementary development, the development and construction of wind power and photovoltaic power generation, and entire county (city and district) distributed rooftop photovoltaic power development, the development of new energy will reach a peak. It is estimated that in the next five years, clean energy in the PRC will account for about 80% of the increase in energy consumption, and the annual total additional installed capacity of wind power and photovoltaic power will be no less than 100 million kW.

  1. “Fourteenth Five-Year Plan” boosts resource recycling industry to embrace new opportunities

IV. RISK FACTORS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Risks on environmental protection and energy conservation policies

The Group provides substantially all of its products and services in the PRC, and the development of its business is greatly dependent on the environmental protection policies of the PRC. Environmental protection industry is one of the major industries that benefit from the constant support of the PRC government. The market demand for the Group’s environmental protection and energy conservation products and services and the revenue generated therefrom are directly affected by the environmental protection policies of the PRC. However, if there is any adverse change in energy conservation policies, it may result in a material and adverse effect on the business prospects, results of operations and financial condition of the Group. The management of the Group is of the view that it is unlikely for the PRC government to revise such environmental protection policies to result in an adverse effect or to withdraw any resources invested in the environmental protection industry. Moreover, the Group, as a trendsetter and leader of the environmental protection and energy conservation for the PRC’s electric power industry, has participated in the formulation of various industrial policies and standards, which allows it to catch the latest industry trends and respond in a timely fashion.

Risks on connected transactions with China Datang Group

The Group has been conducting various transactions with China Datang Group, and will continue to enter into such transactions in the future. During January to June 2021, the total value of products and services provided by the Group to China Datang Group (other than concession operations) was approximately RMB0.169 billion, representing approximately 7.69% of the total revenue of the Group. During January to June 2021, the total value of the services provided by the Group to China Datang Group under the concession operations (desulfurization and denitrification) was approximately RMB1.765 billion, representing approximately 80.34% of the total revenue of the Group. The Group has been actively expanding its client base, for example, during January to June 2021, the Group entered into contracts in the amount of RMB0.153 billion with clients other than China Datang Group, representing 18.18% of the total of contracts entered into during January to June 2021.

2021 Interim Report 17

Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued)

Cash flow risks

The Group had positive operating cash flows for the six months ended 30 June 2021. The Group cannot assure that its operating cash flows for any future period will be positive. The Group’s ability to generate cash inflows from operating activities in the future will depend in large part on project schedule and billing arrangement, its ability to collect receivables from its customers in a timely manner and the credit terms it can obtain. If the Group is not able to generate sufficient cash flows from its operations or obtain sufficient financing to support its business operation, the Group’s growth prospects may be materially and adversely affected. The Group plans to adopt various measures to collect receivables in order to significantly improve operating cash flow. In addition, the Group has been proactively seeking finance to support the development and expansion of its business. As at 30 June 2021, the Group had available bank facilities of RMB14.783 billion.

Industry risks

Macroeconomic environment of the PRC will influence the development of the environmental protection industry. If economic growth of the PRC slows down or experiences a downward trend, the environmental industry of the PRC will be adversely affected. The Group’s business primarily focuses on the environmental protection and energy conservation for coal-fired power plants, the market demand for its business relies heavily on the growth rate of the coal-fired power generation output in the PRC. In particular, the revenue generated from concession operations will be directly affected by the power generation output of coal-fired power plants. At present, the PRC government has shown considerable concern for the adjustment to the national energy structure and development. Therefore, there can be no assurance that coal-fired power generation output in the PRC will continue to grow at the current pace. If the increase of coal-fired power generation output in the PRC slows down, it may result in a decrease of utilization hours of coal-fired power generation units, or a lower demand for the Group’s products and services, which will materially and adversely affect our business prospects, results of operations and financial position. The management of the Group is of the view that, in terms of the power generation portfolio in the PRC, coal-fired power generation still dominates the market. In addition, the vast majority of the Group’s concession operations locate in coastal areas or economically developed areas, where the utilization hours of coalfired power generation are higher than the average level nationwide. The Group plans to actively explore clients in the iron and steel, cement and petro-chemical industries.

Risks on overseas business

The Group is aggressively developing its overseas business, especially in the Belt and Road Initiative countries. The Group’s global business expansion may be hindered by risks such as: lack of availability of overseas financing, possible difficulties in the management of personnel and business operations, lack of understanding of the local business environment, financial and management system or legal system, volatility in currency exchange rates, cultural differences, changes in political, regulatory or economic environments in the foreign countries or other regions, as well as the risk of barriers. If the Group fails to manage the above risks effectively, its overseas expansion may be hindered, which may in turn result in a material and adverse effect on its business prospects, results of operations and financial condition. The management of the Group is of the view that, the PRC government has been actively establishing friendly diplomatic relations with the Belt and Road Initiative countries and improving the overseas investment atmosphere. The Group has extensive project experience in some countries, for instance India and Thailand, which can serve as examples for its future overseas development, and the Group has established rather mature risk management and internal control systems to mitigate risks on overseas business to the greatest extent possible.

V. EMPLOYEES AND REMUNERATION POLICY

As at 30 June 2021, we had 1,045 employees, substantially all of whom were based in the PRC. The Group has individually established labor union branches. Currently, the Group has entered into employment agreements with all employees, in which the position, duties, remuneration, employment benefits, training, confidentiality obligations relating to trade secrets and grounds for termination are specified pursuant to the PRC Labor Law and other relevant regulations.

To the board of directors of Datang Environment Industry Group Co., Ltd. (Incorporated in the People’s Republic of China with limited liability)

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 49 to 90, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Datang Environment Industry Group Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at 30 June 2021 and the related condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review. Our report is made 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.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

CONCLUSION

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

For the six months ended 30 June 2021 (Amounts expressed in thousands of RMB unless otherwise stated)

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

Datang Environment Industry Group Co., Ltd. (大唐環境產業集團股份有限公司) (the “Company”) was established on 25 July 2011 in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) with limited liability. On 26 June 2015, the Company converted into a joint stock company with limited liability from a limited liability company. The shares of the Company have been listed on the Main board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Hong Kong Stock Exchange”) from 15 November 2016.

In the opinion of the directors of the Company (“Directors”), the immediate holding company and ultimate holding company of the Company is China Datang Corporation Ltd.

The interim condensed consolidated financial information is presented in thousands of Renminbi (“RMB”), unless otherwise stated.

The interim condensed consolidated financial information has not been audited.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CHANGES IN THE GROUP’S ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES

2.1 Basis of preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2021 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”).

The interim condensed consolidated financial information does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

2021 Interim Report 55

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information (Continued)

For the six months ended 30 June 2021

(Amounts expressed in thousands of RMB unless otherwise stated)

  1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CHANGES IN THE GROUP’S ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)

  2. 2.2 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, except for the adoption of the following revised International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) for the first time for the current period’s financial information.

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16

Amendment to IFRS 16 Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions

The nature and impact of the revised IFRSs are described below:

  • (a) Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 address issues not dealt with in the previous amendments which affect financial reporting when an existing interest rate benchmark is replaced with an alternative riskfree rate (“RFR”). The phase 2 amendments provide a practical expedient to allow the effective interest rate to be updated without adjusting the carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities when accounting for changes in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of financial assets and liabilities, if the change is a direct consequence of the interest rate benchmark reform and the new basis for determining the contractual cash flows is economically equivalent to the previous basis immediately preceding the change. In addition, the amendments permit changes required by the interest rate benchmark reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued. Any gains or losses that could arise on transition are dealt with through the normal requirements of IFRS 9 to measure and recognise hedge ineffectiveness. The amendments also provide a temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR is designated as a risk component. The relief allows an entity, upon designation of the hedge, to assume that the separately identifiable requirement is met, provided the entity reasonably expects the RFR risk component to become separately identifiable within the next 24 months. Furthermore, the amendments require an entity to disclose additional information to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of interest rate benchmark reform on an entity’s financial instruments and risk management strategy. These amendments had no material impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

For the six months ended 30 June 2021 (Amounts expressed in thousands of RMB unless otherwise stated)

  1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CHANGES IN THE GROUP’S ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)

2.2 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures (Continued)

  • (b) Amendment to IFRS 16 issued in April 2021 extends the availability of the practical expedient for lessees to elect not to apply lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic by 12 months. Accordingly, the practical expedient applies to rent concessions for which any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022, provided the other conditions for applying the practical expedient are met. The amendment is effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021 with any cumulative effect of initially applying the amendment recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained profits at the beginning of the current accounting period. Earlier application is permitted. The amendment did not have any impact on the financial position and performance of the Group as there were no lease payments reduced or waived by the lessors as a result of the covid-19 pandemic during the period.

2.3 Accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial information requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial information, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that are applied to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

3. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

For management purposes, the Group’s operating businesses are structured and managed separately according to their nature. Each of the Group’s operating segment represents a strategic business unit that provides services which are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of the other operating segments. Summary details of the operating segments are as follows:

(a) Environmental protection and energy conservation solutions

The environmental protection and energy conservation solutions business mainly includes flue gas desulfurization and denitrification facilities concession operation for coal-fired power plants; the manufacture and sale of denitrification catalysts; engineering for coal-fired power plants, including the engineering of denitrification, desulfurization, dust removal, ash and slag handling and other environmental protection facilities and industrial site dust management related engineering; water treatment; and energy conservation including energy conservation facilities engineering and energy management contracting (“EMC”).

3. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

(c) Thermal power engineering

The thermal power engineering business mainly includes the engineering procurement construction (“EPC”) services for thermal power plants.

(d) Other businesses

Other businesses currently mainly include various businesses such as fiberglass chimney anti-corrosion and air cooling system engineering general contracting.

Management monitors the results of the Group’s operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resources allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment results, which is a measure of adjusted profit before tax. The adjusted profit before tax is measured consistently with the Group’s profit before tax except that other income and losses, other expenses, non-leaserelated finance costs as well as corporate and other unallocated expenses are excluded from such measurement.

Segment assets and liabilities mainly comprise operating assets and liabilities that are directly attributable to the segment or can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis.

Segment assets exclude unallocated intangible assets, unallocated deferred tax assets, unallocated prepayments, other receivables and other assets, restricted cash, cash and cash equivalents and other unallocated head office and corporate assets as these assets are managed on a group basis.

Segment liabilities exclude interest-bearing bank borrowings and other loans (other than lease liabilities) for daily operation purpose and other unallocated head office and corporate liabilities as these liabilities are managed on a group basis.

Compensation losses (Note) 98,865

Note: In November 2016, China Datang Technologies & Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Technologies & Engineering Company”) a subsidiary of the Company, and two other third parties have entered into an arrangement with Datang Xinjiang Clean Energy Co., Ltd. (“Datang Xinjiang”) to construct a wind farm. As required by the arrangement, Technologies & Engineering Company purchased 33 wind turbines from Jiangsu Jiuding Tiandi Wind Power Co., Ltd. (“Jiuding Tiandi Wind Power”). In March 2017, Jiuding Tiandi Wind Power received a notice from Datang Xinjiang that the construction of the wind farm may be suspended. After a series of negotiation between the parties, Jiuding Tiandi Wind Power brought an arbitration proceeding against Technologies & Engineering Company in December 2018. In June 2020, the arbitration authority ruled that Technologies & Engineering Company shall compensate Jiuding Tiandi Wind Power for economic losses in an aggregate amount of RMB98,865,000 (the “Ruling”).

On 21 June 2020, Technologies & Engineering Company submitted an application to the Fourth Intermediate People’s Court of Beijing (the “Court”) to overrule the Ruling. On 6 July 2020, the application has been duly accepted by the Court. On 3 September 2020, the Court issued a civil ruling, dismissing the application for revocation of the Ruling by Technologies & Engineering Company. Subsequent to the civil ruling, Technology & Engineering Company and Jiuding Tiandi Wind Power reached an agreement regarding the above compensation amount.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ORDINARY EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE PARENT

The calculation of the basic earnings per share amounts is based on the profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue for the six months ended 30 June 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company did not have any potential dilutive shares in issue during the six months ended 30 June 2021 and 2020. Accordingly, the diluted earnings per share amounts are the same as the basic earnings per share amounts.

The calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share are based on:

19. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

(c) Transactions with other government-related entities in the PRC

The Group operates in an economic regime currently dominated by entities directly or indirectly controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by the PRC government and numerous government authorities and agencies (collectively referred to as “government-related entities”). China Datang, the parent and ultimate holding company of the Company, is a PRC state-owned enterprise and these governmentrelated entities are also considered as related parties of the Group in this respect.

Apart from transactions with China Datang Group mentioned above, the Group also conducts some business activities with other government-related entities in the ordinary course of business. These transactions are carried out on terms similar to those that would be entered into with non-government-related entities.

The Group prices its services and products based on the commercial negotiations. The Group has also established its approval process for sales of goods, provision of services, purchase of products and receiving of services and its financing policy for borrowings. Such approval process and financing policy do not depend on whether the counterparties are government-related entities or not.

Having considered the possibility for transactions to be impacted by related party relationships, the Group’s approval processes and financing policy, and what information would be necessary for an understanding of the potential effect of the relationship on the financial Information, the Directors are of the opinion that further information about the following transactions that are collectively significant is required for disclosure:

– Deposits and borrowings

Except for the cash and cash equivalents deposited in Datang Finance and Wing Lung Bank in Hong Kong, the Group deposits most of its cash in governmentrelated financial institutions, and also obtains short-term and long-term loans from these financial institutions in the ordinary course of business. The interest rates of the bank deposits and loans are regulated by the People’s Bank of China.

2021 Interim Report 85

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information (Continued)

For the six months ended 30 June 2021

(Amounts expressed in thousands of RMB unless otherwise stated)

  1. FAIR VALUE AND FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and bills receivables, financial assets included in prepayments, other receivables and other assets, trade and bills payables, financial liabilities included in other payables and accruals, and the current portion of interest-bearing bank borrowings and other loans, approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

The Group’s corporate finance team headed by the finance manager is responsible for determining the policies and procedures for the fair value disclosure of financial instruments. The corporate finance team reports directly to management. As at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020, the corporate finance team analysed the movements in the values of financial instruments and determined the major inputs applied in the valuation. The valuation was reviewed and approved by management.

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

  • The fair values of the financial assets included in other non-current assets have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

  • The fair values of the non-current portion of long term interest-bearing bank borrowings and other loans (other than lease liabilities) have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities. The changes in fair value as a result of the Group’s own non-performance risks for interest-bearing bank borrowings and other loans as at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020 were assessed to be insignificant.

  • The fair values of the bills receivables which are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using the one-year bank loan interest rate published by the People’s Bank of China.

  • The fair values of the unlisted equity investments designed at fair value through other comprehensive income have been measured based on valuation multiples of enterprise value (“EV”) to sales (“EV/sales”) multiple, adjusted by a discount for lack of marketability. The discount for lack of marketability represents the amounts of premiums and discounts determined by the Group that market participants would take into account when pricing the investments.
