Chief Executive Officer's Statement
As the requirements on environmental and ecological protection become more stringent, China's clean energy consumption gains importance, the wind power and other new energy industries as the nation's seven strategic new industries will be getting more policy support after the 13th Five-year Plan takes the stage, China has been recognised as having the largest hydropower, wind power and solar power in terms of installed capacity in the world. In the face of the new circumstances and in the effort to capture the opportunities of the government's policy reforms, the Company will improve its development quality and efficiency to become a world- class renewable energy enterprise characterised by a large scale, high market share, great contribution to the society, strong profitability, solid competitiveness, and sound sustainability, with the objective of bringing continuous, stable and substantial returns to the Shareholders.
As the PRC government pointed out that it was vital for the energy structure to be optimised and adjusted as the transformation of energy development has reached the crucial strategic stage, the wind power industry, which spearheads the renewable energy industry is bound to receive increasing attention. The National Development and Reform Commission ("NDRC") also published the "Administrative Measures on Protective Buyouts of Renewable Energy Power Generation"《(可 再生能源發電全額保障性收購管理辦法》) which stipulated the buyouts of on-grid electricity of renewable energy power generation projects within the planned scope by power grid enterprises according to the on- grid tariff and protective buyouts utilisation hours set by the PRC government with market competition mechanism, providing strong external support and policy protection to the business development of the Group. Furthermore, the formulation of the "Administrative Regulations on Trading National Carbon Emission Rights"《(全國碳排放權交易管理條例》) is speeding up, and the NDRC has sent copies of the relevant drafts to ministries such as the China Banking Regulatory Commission and the China Securities Regulatory Commission to solicit opinions. The national carbon emission trading market will kick off if relevant regulations are duly passed, such that the wind power operation business of the Group may receive additional revenues from the sales of carbon emission rights.

The turnaround from profit to loss position for the Reporting Period was primarily attributable to the combined effect of, among others, (i) the decrease in revenue due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic which led to decrease in the sales of electricity; (ii) the increase in repair and maintenance expenses; (iii) the decrease in government subsidy income related to value added tax refund; and (iv) the absence of non-cash and non-operating item on expenses related to share-based payment arising from the issue of convertible bonds while there is such expenses incurred in the corresponding period of 2019.

Exposure to fluctuation in exchange rates
The Group has minimal exposure to foreign currency risk as most of its business, transactions, assets and liabilities are principally denominated in the functional currencies of the Group entities. The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of foreign currency transactions, assets and liabilities.

Management Discussion and Analysis
FUTURE PROSPECTS
The PRC government has unswervingly implemented the new concept of green development. By taking green development as a guide, China would actively build a modern economic system, accelerate the development of energy-saving and environmental protection industries, vigorously develop clean energy, improve the level of utilization of clean energy and promote comprehensive conservation and recycling of resources.
The PRC Government has provided support to the development of wind power industry in various aspects, and with initial success as exemplified in the increasing shares of wind power in total energy consumption in different regions. The development of wind power is of great significance in adjusting the country's energy structure. Given the serious problem of smog in the PRC, the development of clean energy has become an inevitable trend, in which wind power will serve as one of the most critical segments in the development of clean energy.
Despite the economic slowdown of PRC caused by COVID-19 pandemic, the overall momentum of economic development in the PRC remains stable and positive in the longrun.
Looking ahead, the Group will continue to strengthen its wind farms operation business. With the advantage of a secured development environment in general and the increased level of attention to wind power by the public, the Company is expected to have a bright development prospect.
In respect of the business growth of the Group in the coming year, the Group will continue to focus its resources on the development and operation of wind farms and is determined to become one of the pillars of the renewable energy industry in northern China. The Group will continue to seek opportunities to develop its of renewable energy business in other new areas of clean energy apart from wind power by way of cooperative development and acquisitions. The Group will continue to identify and acquire mature power plants with promising development prospects, in order to strengthen the existing wind farms operation and maintenance business in northern China and gradually extend the business to the surrounding areas as well as enhance the interaction between other sectors of the industry. The Group will consider other possible opportunities of mergers and acquisitions.

Management Discussion and Analysis
In the meantime, the Group will continue to develop the business of security trading in small scale, by setting up joint venture investment with other investors specialised in the industry, with an aim to leverage on the advantages of the shareholding companies' capabilities and expand the Group's income stream.
In the long-run, the Group will focus its effort on the development and optimisation of existing renewable energy resources. Paralleled to the expansion of wind farm's operational scale and the enhancement of efficiency, the Group will integrate the advantages of all cooperating parties and its own in order to explore more development opportunities in other new areas of clean energy and further consolidate the Group's position in the industry of renewable energy. During the course of business integration and resources integration, possible synergistic opportunities among different business segments will be explored for their expansions and growth in revenues and profits. The Group is committed to becoming a renewable energy supplier and integrated service provider with relatively strong competitiveness, establishing a stable and comprehensive foundation for the long term growth of the Group, creating more value for the society, and seeking higher returns for the Company's Shareholders and investors.

- Loss per share
-
Basic loss per share
The calculation of basic loss per share is based on the loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2020 of approximately RMB28,513,000 (for the six months ended 30 June 2019: loss of approximately RMB19,255,000).
The weighted average number of approximately 1,977,163,000 ordinary shares (for the six months ended 30 June 2019: approximately 1,799,141,000 ordinary shares) in issue during the Reporting Period. - Diluted loss per share
Diluted loss per share for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and 2019 are equal to basic loss per share because (i) there are no dilutive potential ordinary shares for the Company's outstanding options; and (ii) the impact of the convertible bonds/notes outstanding has an anti-dilutive effect on the basic loss per share amounts presented.

- Segment results, assets and liabilities - Continued
The measure used for reporting segment profit is "adjusted EBT", i.e. "adjusted earnings before taxes". To arrive at adjusted EBT, the Group's earnings are further adjusted for items not specifically attributed to the individual segment, such as share of profits less losses of associates, share of losses of a joint venture, Directors' and auditors' remuneration and other head office or corporate administration costs.
In addition to receiving segment information concerning adjusted EBT, the management is provided with the segment information concerning revenue, interest income and expense from cash balances and borrowings managed directly by the segment, depreciation, amortisation, impairment losses and additions to non-current segment assets used by the segment in its operations.
Information regarding the Group's reportable segment as provided to the Group's chief executive management for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of the segment performance for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 is set out below:

The Group's trade receivables are mainly wind power electricity sales receivable from local grid companies. Generally, the receivables are due within 30 days from the date of billing, except for the tariff premium. The collection of such tariff premium is subject to the allocation of funds by relevant government authorities to local grid companies, which therefore takes a relative long time for settlement.

Fair value measurement has been categorised into the three-level fair value hierarchy as defined in HKFRS 13 "Fair value measurement". The level into which a fair value measurement is classified and determined with reference to the observability and significance of the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows: - Level 1 valuations: Fair value measured using only Level 1 inputs i.e. unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
- Level 2 valuations: Fair value measured using Level 2 inputs i.e. observable inputs which fail to meet Level 1, and not using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs are inputs for which market data are not available.
- Level 3 valuations: Fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs.
