Notes:

① The production volumes of raw coal and salable coal of Heze Neng Hua increased on the corresponding period in 2017. This was mainly because the coal production for the first half of 2017 was constrained by geological conditions.

② The production volumes of raw coal and saleable coal of Ordos Neng Hua increased on the corresponding period in 2017. This was mainly because the commercial operation of Yingpanhao coal mine was launched in the second half of 2017.

Chapter 4 BoarD of DireCtors’ report – ContinUeD

③ The production volumes of raw coal and saleable coal of Yancoal Australia increased on the corresponding period in 2017. This was mainly because the commercial operation of Moolarben Underground Coal Mine Project was launched in the second half of 2017 and the output of Coal & Allied Industries Limited (“C&a”) was consolidated into the financial statements of Yancoal Australia since September 2017.
④ The output of raw coal and saleable coal of Haosheng Coal decreased on the corresponding period in 2017, which is mainly because Shilawusu Coal Mine owned by Haosheng Coal had stopped operation for the sake of environmental protection policies.

(2) Coal Prices and Sales

For the first half of 2018, the Group sold a total of 55.5 million tonnes of coal, representing an increase of 13.81 million tonnes or 33.1% on the corresponding period in 2017. This is mainly because of the commercial operation of newly-constructed coal mines and the C&A’s financial statements consolidation, and the increase of saleable coal of Ordos Neng Hua and Yancoal Australia by 3.58 million tonnes and 10.18 million tonnes on the corresponding period in 2017, respectively.

For the first half of 2018, the Group realized a sales income of RMB29.931 billion, representing an increase of RMB8.812 billion or 41.7% on the corresponding period in 2017.

Counter measures: The Company will meticulously study national policies and make a reasonable distribution to its investment projects; will improve its rules and regulations and standardize investment management process; will make a stringent management on investment in the course, beforehand and afterwards, launch research and investigation in a diligent manner before investment and strictly control launch of the project, ensure compliant operation in the course of investment and propel project construction in a scientific way, make a strict project assessment and reinforce the implementation of duties afterwards; will enhance talents introduction, optimize cultivation mechanism and improve the quality of professionals specialized in investment.

risks arising from financing debt

Currently, the overall capital market is tightening with the complications and variables in the financing environment. The Company is facing the risks of increasing difficulty of financing and increasing financing cost, thus the risks in liquidity and financing debt can easily arise.

Counter measures: The Company will proactively introduce strategic investors, enhance strategic cooperation with banks and explore diversified and multiple ways of financing; will optimize fund use system and decide the total demand of fund based on the operation and investment requirement, set a reasonable proportion ratio of self-owned fund and borrowings, establish debt risk pre-alarming analysis system and make scientific planning of cash of low security.

3. operation strategy of the second half of 2018

In the second half of 2018, affected by the global trade frictions, the prospect of world economic recovery is not optimistic, and China’s economy is facing downward pressure. Due to multiple factors, such as supply-side structural reform and increasing pressure on environmental protection, the supply and demand of coal will remain basically balanced and the coal price is expected to fluctuate at a mediumhigh level. The Group will closely grasp the macro environment and market trend, and actively adopt favorable measures to speed up the policy of “replacing the old driving power with the new one” and expand growth potential, so as to ensure the realization of our annual business goals.

Main operating measures to be adopted for the second half of 2018:

optimize the production schedule to ensure increase in both production volume and economic efficiency by entities. First, clean and efficient coal production should be planned to ensure the stable production and output of the mines in the headquarters area. The Group will fully exploit the incremental potential of the mines in Inner Mongolia and Australia, and release advanced production capacity and realize increase in operating revenue. Second, maintain long-term safety production in coal chemicals industry and power generation and improve their production volume and efficiency, and steadily progress the construction of phase II projects of Ordos Neng Hua and Yulin Neng Hua. Third, a three-year upgrading project in equipment of manufacturing industry will be carried out to promote the high-end manufacturing of coal mining machinery and environment protection equipment, and to improve the ability to increase profit and operating revenue.

strengthen capital operations to utilize capital in diversified and productive manners. We will push forward the listing of Yancoal Australia on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the non-public placing of A shares of Yanzhou Coal in a speedy manner. With adherence to the strategy of “finance service entities and entities facilitate finance”, we will endeavor to make profits in diversified fields by strengthening and optimizing four sectors, i.e. treasury management, financial investment, financial leasing and supply chain management. We will seize appropriate opportunity to implement capital operation to achieve in-depth integration and coordinated development between industry and finance.

strengthen smart marketing to ensure market synergetic efficiency. The Company will enhance market competitiveness and efficiency through coordinating the promotion of the strategic layout of “marketing, trade and logistics”. The Company will scientifically conduct market analysis, continue to optimize marketing layout, product category, customer division, sales area, flexibly adjust marketing strategies, and implement the “clean coal + coal blending” strategy to capture the best margin available. The Company will optimize the layout of logistics trade and clearly position the trade business. Paying attention to both trade volume and efficiency, the Company will put risk control first. The Company will innovate to develop modern trade represented by the combination of futures and spot, trade and finance to create new profit growth points.

Yanzhou Coal Mining Company Limited Interim Report 2018

Chapter 4 BoarD of DireCtors’ report – ContinUeD

Deepen lean management to ensure cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Taking lean management as the starting point, the Company will explore endogenous power to promote transformation of operational management towards intensive efficiency management. First, with strict benchmarking management and in-depth analysis of cost composition, the Company will strengthen the assessment of the cost and efficiency so as to strive to achieve the industry’s advanced level of product consumption. Second, strictly following the zero-based budget and the strategy of “rigid budget, rigid control”, the Company will implement the closed-loop management of production volume, cost and profit to strictly control various expenses. Third, with the sharing platform, the Company will efficiently improve resource allocation through coordinating funds, equipment, taxation, labor and other resources to achieve resource sharing and create benefits synergistically.

4. the impact of exchange rate Changes

The exchange rate changes mainly impact:

(1) The overseas coal sales income, as the overseas coal sales of the Group are denominated in USD and AUD, respectively;
(2) The exchange gains and losses of the foreign currency deposits and borrowings;
(3) The cost of imported equipment and accessories of the Group.

Affected by the changes in foreign exchange rates, the Group had book exchange loss of RMB357 million during the reporting period.

To manage foreign currency risks arising from the expected revenue, Yancoal Australia has entered into foreign exchange hedging contracts with the bank.

To hedge the exchange losses of USD loan arising from the fluctuation of foreign exchange, Yancoal Australia and Yancoal International have taken foreign exchange hedging measures to such debt on the accounting basis, which effectively mitigated the impact of exchange loss on the current profit.

5. taxation

For the first half year of 2018, except that some subsidiaries incorporated in PRC enjoyed favorable income tax rate of 10% or 15% on their taxable profits, the Company and the remaining subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC were subject to an income tax rate of 25% on their taxable profits. Yancoal Australia and Yancoal International were subject to a tax rate of 30% and 16.5% on their taxable profits, respectively.

For details of favorable income tax policy and tax rate for the above subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC, please refer to Note “Taxation Favorable Tax” to the financial statements prepared in accordance with the CASs.

In the current period, the Group had applied, for the first time, the new standards and interpretations and revised/ amended standards and interpretations (the new “IFRSs”) issued by the IASB and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (the “IFRIC”) of the IASB, which are effective for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2018 The new IFRSs relevant to these interim financial statements are as follows:

IFRS 9 IFRS 15 Amendments to IAS 28 Amendments to IFRS 2 Amendments to IFRS 4 Amendments to IAS 40 IFRIC-Int 22

Financial Instruments

Revenue from Contracts with Customers As part of Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014 – 2016 Cycle Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts Transfers of Investment Property Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

The adoption of IFRS 9 resulted in changes in the Group’s accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognised in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The new accounting policies are set out in below.

The Group has not early applied the new standards or interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective.

ifrs 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 replaced IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, and introduces new requirements for the 1) classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, 2) impairment of financial assets and 3) general hedge accounting. The Group has applied IFRS 9 retrospectively to financial instruments that have not been derecognised at the date of initial application (i.e. 1 January 2018) in accordance with the transition provisions under IFRS 9, and chosen not to restate comparative information. Differences in the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities on initial application are recognised in retained earnings and other components of equity as at 1 January 2018.

Classification and measurements

At the date of initial application of IFRS 9, the Group’s management has reviewed and assessed all financial assets held by the Group on the basis of the Group’s business model for managing these financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics, and has classified its financial assets and financial liabilities into the appropriate categories of IFRS 9, as explained below:

3. siGnifiCant aCCoUntinG poLiCies – ContinUeD

ifrs 9 Financial Instruments (Continued)

Classification and measurements (Continued)

Equity investments previously classifed as available-for-sales investments carried at fair value:

For the available-for-sale equity investments amounting to approximately RMB2,278,296,000 carried at fair value, the Group has not elected the option for designation at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) and reclassified them to financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). Upon initial application of IFRS 9, investment revaluation reserve relating to these financial assets amounting to approximately RMB150,562,000 was transferred to retained earnings at 1 January 2018.

Debt investments previously classifed as held-to-maturity investments:

The debt investments amounting to approximately RMB69,427,000 as at 31 December 2017 are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. Accordingly, these investments continue to be subsequently measured at amortised cost and were reclassified to financial assets at amortised cost upon adoption of IFRS 9.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group has the following type of financial instruments that are subject to the new impairment requirements under IFRS 9.

Bills and accounts receivables at amortised cost:

The Group applied the simplified approach to provide for expected credit losses (“ECL”) under IFRS 9 and recognised lifetime expected losses for all bills and accounts receivables. The bills and accounts receivables are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics for measuring ECL.

Classifcation and measurement of fnancial liabilities

For non-substantial modifications of financial liabilities that do not result in derecognition, the carrying amount of the relevant financial liabilities will be calculated at the present value of the modified contractual cash flows discounted at the financial liabilities’ original effective interest rate. Transaction costs or fees incurred are adjusted to the carrying amount of the modified financial liabilities and are amortised over the remaining term. During the year ended 31 December 2017, terms of certain of the Group’s borrowings were modified which did not result in the derecognition of original borrowings and the recognition of modified borrowings under the requirements of IAS 39. Since such borrowings remain in force as at 1 January 2018, the Group reassessed the impact of such modification of terms upon the initial application of IFRS 9 on 1 January 2018 and recognised a gain of approximately RMB81,637,000 under retained earnings.

9. earninGs per share

The calculation of the earnings per share attributable to equity holders of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2018 is based on the profit for the period of approximately RMB4,622,671,000 (2017: approximately RMB3,451,199,000) and on the weighted average of 4,912,016,000 shares (2017: 4,912,016,000 shares) in issue during the period ended 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 respectively.

Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended 30 June 2018 approximates the basic earnings per share as the conversion of outstanding subordinated capital notes during the period does not have material impact on the profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company.

Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended 30 June 2017 equal to the basic earnings per share as there was no dilutive effect of subordinated capital notes.
