III.
|
Reasons
for the change in the results
|
|
|
The
loss was mainly due to the reason that prices of fuel coal increased
drastically in 2008, such that the average fuel coal price in 2008 was
significantly higher than that in 2007. Although power tariffs had been
adjusted upwards two times during the period, the increments were still
unable to offset the rise in fuel costs. The Company estimates that it
will suffer a loss in the year of
2008.

Risk
Warning
|
|
|
Detailed
financial information will be disclosed in the 2008 Annual Report of the
