Chairman’s Statement

On behalf of the board of directors (the “ Board ”) of Winsway Enterprises Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”), I hereby present the interim results of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “ Group ”) for the first half of 2014.

The coal industry remained weak in the first half of 2014 due to ongoing sluggish demand caused by a slowing economy and policies of the Chinese government to reduce overcapacity in the steel sector and to restructure the country’s energy mix away from coal. As what happened since 2012, the plethora of supply has pushed coal prices further down the chart and the “winter” stays across the sector for all companies involved.

To survive this winter, Winsway continued to manage its risks carefully and successfully retained it’s market share, although at the cost of lower margins. As a reaction to the above described relatively gloomy outlook of the coal market, Winsway has conducted research and started preparations to reduce its dependence on coal and to diversify into services for other bulk commodities. Although these efforts have not yet resulted in significant earnings, we are confident that they will enable us to better utilize our logistics resources and contribute to our earnings in the near future.

It should be noted that although the recorded loss of HK$4.73 billion is very significant, it will have a relatively muted effect on our operations because it is mainly attributed to book losses of HK$3.99 billion net of income tax for the write-down in carrying value of GCC and HK$189 million for provision for inventory and impairment of property, plant and equipment.

To reflect this planned change in business strategy and to facilitate our attempt to establish Winsway as an integrated solution provider of the supply chain, the Company changed its full name from Winsway Coking Coal Holdings Limited to Winsway Enteprises Holdings Limited. We have up to now been evaluating this new business model and the risks attached to it and have started to work on a detailed plan to establish a platform to provide these services. To better implement this new business model, Mr. Andreas Werner, a senior professional with profound understanding in both financing and commodity business, was appointed as the CEO Designate and Executive Director of the Company.

As Winsway explored new business opportunities, it also sought to further streamline its current operations and thus become more efficient and effective. The Company managed to further lower its operating costs in logistics sector as well as mining sector by a host of measures, including a reduction of staff.

2014 Interim Report

Chairman’s Statement (Continued)

The operation in the Company’s subsidiary, Grande Cache Coal LP, has improved in the first half of 2014. After concerted effort from the management, clean coal FOB cash cost decreased from HK$1,064/tonne in the first half of 2013 to an average of HK$730/tonne during the first half of 2014. Although this is a significant improvement, it is still insufficient to enable GCC to fulfill its commitments to GCC’s financing bank and to avoid further operating losses. As a result of a gloomy medium and long term market outlook, continuing deterioration in prices for metallurgical coal and the Company’s limited financial ability to maintain its support of GCC, the Board has come to the conclusion that divestment from GCC is inevitable to ensure the Company’s long term business. Accordingly, the Company has retained BNP Paribas as its financial advisor to assist in this process.

Finally, on behalf of the Board, I would like to express my gratitude to all our shareholders for their long-term support to the Group. I would also like to extend my appreciation to all our employees for their strong efforts under these challenging conditions. I would like to particularly express my thankfulness to Mr. Yamamoto Yasuhisa, who has stepped down from the Board because of personal reasons, for his long term support and contribution to the Company. Also, due to health reasons, I will need to take a leave of absence from the Company’s daily operations for an extended period of time. During my absence Mr. James Downing will take over my responsibilities as chairman to organize and manage the Board. The Board has resolved to appoint Mr. Andreas Werner as the CEO Designate during my absence and he is also appointed to be an Executive Director. He will work towards strengthening the overall management of the Company, besides exploring new business opportunities. I strongly believe that Mr. Andreas Werner’s professional and managerial experience, together with the management team and all employees will lead Winsway into a better future.

2014 Interim Report

==> picture [596 x 60] intentionally omitted <==

Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Operating Results (Continued)

In the first half of 2014, the Group recorded consolidated revenue from continuing operations of HK$3,246 million on 3.81 million tonnes of sales, out of which 1.16 million tonnes were Mongolian coking coal, 2.38 million tonnes were seaborne coal, 0.22 million tonnes were Mongolian thermal coal, and 0.05 million tonnes were self-produced coal. This is to be compared with a consolidated revenue from continuing operations (restated) of HK$5,381 million on 5.28 million tonnes of sales, out of which, 2.52 million tonnes were Mongolian coal, 2.03 million tonnes were seaborne coal, 0.5 million tonnes were self-produced coal, and 0.23 million tonnes were iron ore during the first half of 2013.

For the first half of 2014, the Group achieved a gross profit from continuing operations of HK$0.42 million compared to a gross loss of HK$95.52 million (restated) during the same period of last year. Careful risk management and rendering of logistics and storage services helped to turn last year’s gross loss into a small gross profit this year.

Following the change in business of the Group from coal focused to supply chain services business, the Group rendered logistics and storage services during the first half of 2014 and recorded a profit margin of approximately HK$12 million.

Overall, the Group incurred a consolidated net loss of HK$4,728 million during the first half of 2014 compared to a net loss of HK$933 million during the first half of 2013. The loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company was HK$2,740 million. Continuing operations loss incurred from Winsway operation was HK$421 million for the first half of 2014, and discontinued operation loss for GCC was HK$4,307 million, mainly consisting of impairments on the carrying value of assets without cash flow impact in the first half of 2014.

Out of the HK$421 million continuing operations loss, the Group recognised HK$59 million and HK$130 million impairment of property, plant and equipment and provision for inventory respectively.

To cope with the current weak market, the Group continued its effort to reduce inventory to a minimal but sustainable level. The Group’s inventory shrank from 2.52 million tonnes to 1.29 million tonnes as of 30 June 2014.

II. MongolIan coal ProcureMent

In the first half of 2014, the Group procured a total of 0.62 million tonnes of Mongolian coal, an 69.6% decrease from the volume procured during the same period of last year. The decrease was mainly a result of change in the demand for Mongolian coal and the Company’s marketing strategy. Domestic market prices did not support importing of Mongolian coal since the seaborne coal price was at such a low level that Mongolian coal had no price advantage. Since the long-term strategic alliance with several Mongolian coal suppliers came to end in the first half of 2014, the Company was more cautious when purchasing Mongolian coal.

Our top Mongolian coal suppliers during the first half of 2014 were Southgobi Sands LLC and Energy Resources LLC with procurement amount of HK$82 million and HK$29.6 million respectively.

III. seaborne coal ProcureMent

In the first half of 2014, our seaborne procurement volume was approximately 2.46 million tonnes, a 15% increase over 2.13 million tonnes procured during the first half of 2013. Seaborne coal only has a competitive advantage in a weak market because of the lower shipping costs. Moreover, seaborne coal procurement requires much fewer turnover days in comparison with Mongolian coal. In order to maintain market share in China, the Company’s strategy is to purchase more seaborne coal on strict back to back basis although only at a thin margin. The top 5 seaborne coal suppliers supplied coal worth of HK$1,700 million, which accounted for 69.39% of the total seaborne coal procurement whereas 58.26% was attributable to the top 5 suppliers during the same period of last year.

Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Operating Results (Continued)

IV. gcc oPeratIons

Grande Cache Coal is engaged in the production and sales of premium hard coking coal. It was acquired by the Company and Marubeni on a 60% and 40% basis respectively in March 2012. The local management in GCC has spent tremendous efforts to better control their costs, including but not limited to cutting headcounts, streamlining the work process reducing contract works and contract prices, implementing incentive schemes, revising mining plans etc. The team has successfully brought the FOB cash cost from HK$1,064 in the first half of 2013 to HK$730 in the first half of 2014 which now leaves no significant further room for improvement. Unfortunately, this is still by far not sufficient to operate profitably.

In light of current market conditions and the Company’s strategy going forward, the Board resolved to a plan to reduce its stake in GCC. The Company has engaged BNP Paribas as its financial advisor to facilitate the GCC divestment exercise. The bidding process has begun and the Company is under negotiation with several potential buyers for either a partial or full divestment. Hence, GCC was categorized as a discontinued operation in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and the assets and liabilities of GCC were classified as a disposal group held for sale.

Operation details of GCC in the first half of 2014 is as follow:

GCC Production Volume

In the first half of 2014, the total production volume of GCC ROM (run-of-mine) coal was 1.25 million tonnes, which is about the same as the 1.22 million tonnes for the same period of last year.

GCC Cost of Sales

In the first half of 2014, COGS of GCC was HK$728 million, or HK$1,014 on a per tonne basis. Cost of self-employed labour, third party contracting services, and materials are among the top cost components.

V. our custoMers

Despite overall softening in coking coal demand, the Group still managed to compete in the market thanks to its extensive reach of logistic infrastructure in northern and coastal regions of China as well as its strong sales/marketing team performance. Our top 5 customers accounted for 33.33% of the total sales for the first half of 2014 as compared to 32.75% (restated) attributable to the top 5 customers for the same period last year.

a. Sales

In the first half of 2014, our sales revenue from continuing operations was HK$3,246 million, a 39.68% decrease from the same period of last year. Both decreasing volume and declining price of coking coal and coal related products have led to this revenue decrease.

Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Operating Results (Continued)

In terms of volume, we sold 3.81 million tonnes of coal and coal related products, compared to 5.05 million tonnes during the same period last year. In terms of price, our realised average selling price decreased from HK$1,017 per tonne during the first half of 2013 to HK$842 per tonne during the first half of 2014.

b. Cost of Goods Sold (“COGS”)

The Group incurred COGS from continuing operations of HK$3,246 million during the first half of 2014 compared to HK$5,476 million (restated) in the first half of 2013. Both lower sales volume and lower procurement price contributed to the overall decrease of the Group’s COGS.

Specifically, our average procurement price has decreased from HK$573 per tonne to HK$260 per tonne for Mongolian coal and from HK$1,140 per tonne to HK$913 per tonne for seaborne coal. The major reason for the sharp decrease of Mongolian coal purchase price is because the Company procured a greater percentage of thermal coal compared to the same period of last year.

c. Gross Profit/Loss

For the first half of 2014, the Group achieved a gross profit from continuing operations of HK$0.42 million compared to a gross loss of HK$95.52 million (restated) during the same period of last year. The gross profit was contributed to strict risk management controls following a switch to back to back strategy in an extremely difficult market environment.

For the first half of 2014, the Company recorded a gross loss of HK$17million in coking coal sales, compared to gross loss of HK$159 million in the same period of 2013. Although the coal market further declined in the first half of 2014, the Company managed to focus strictly its sales margin and realized a better performance than the same period of last year. Starting its new business development, the Company recorded a gross profit of HK$12 million by providing railway logistics and storage services in the first half of 2014, compared to a HK$0.9 million gross loss in the same period of last year. Although the gross profit was relatively small, it shows that new business development is beginning to generate revenues.

d. GCC Impairment

An after tax impairment loss of HK$3,994 million was recorded for write-downs of GCC to the lower of its carrying amount and its fair value less costs to sell. The Board of Directors of the Company has resolved to commit to a plan to dispose part or all of its interest in GCC and the Company has hired BNP Paribas as its financial advisor to facilitate the sales process. The fair value of the disposal group is determined with reference to coal price and other information provided by BNP Paribas.

e. Net Finance Costs

In the first half of 2014, our net finance costs from continuing operations totaled HK$154 million compared to HK$109 million during the same period of 2013. The increase was caused by less exchange gain due to less appreciation of RMB against USD. The Group’s finance costs consist primarily of its interest expenses of HK$115 million on its senior notes during the first half of 2014.

In the first half of 2014, our operating cash outflow was HK$2,856 million compared with HK$689 million cash inflow during the same period of last year. The decrease in our operating cash flow was primarily due to the settlement of trade and other payables in the first half of 2014.

In the first half of 2014, the Group enjoyed a cash inflow from investing activities of HK$218 million compared to HK$315 million cash outflow during the first half of 2013. The cash inflow from investing activities was due to the decrease in restricted bank deposits during the first half of 2014.

The Group had a cash inflow of financing activities of HK$1,215 million during the first half of 2014 compared to HK$719 million cash outflow during the first half of 2013. The cash inflow of financing activities was mainly generated from net proceeds from bank loans on trade financing.

VII. exPosure to excHange rate FluctuatIons

Over 48% of the Group’s turnover in the first half of 2014 were denominated in RMB and the remaining 52% in United States Dollars (“US dollars”). The Group’s cost of coal purchased, accounting for over 96% of the total cost of sales in the first half of 2014, and some of our operating expenses were denominated in US dollars. Fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the value of the Group’s net assets, earnings or any declared dividends as RMB is translated or converted into US dollars or Hong Kong Dollars. Any unfavorable movement in exchange rates may lead to an increase in the costs of the Group or a decline in sales, which could materially affect the Group’s results of operations.

corPorate goVernance code

The Company is strongly committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance, which it regards as a vital element in ensuring its continued success. This commitment is best illustrated by its compliance with the Code Provisions and many of the Recommended Best Practices set out in the CG Code.

Code Provisions

Throughout the first half of 2014, except for the requirement that the roles of chairman and chief executive officer should not be performed by the same individual under Code Provision A.2.1 of the CG Code, the Company has complied with the Code Provisions set out in the CG Code.

Mr. Wang Xingchun is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Board is responsible for the Group’s overall strategic planning and the management of the Company’s business. The Board considers that vesting the roles of chairman and chief executive officer in the same person is beneficial to the business prospects and management of the Group.

On 26 August 2014, Mr. Andreas Werner was appointed as an executive Director of the Company and the chief executive officer designate (the “ CEO Designate ”) to handle the day-to-day operation of the Company during Mr. Wang Xingchun’s period of absence from his management duties. The Board believes that the appointment of Mr. Andreas Werner as the CEO Designate could enhance the Company’s corporate governance by separating the roles and duties of the chairman and the chief executive.

The balance of power and authority is ensured by the operation of the Board, which comprises experienced and high-calibre individuals. The Board currently comprises five executive Directors (including Mr. Wang Xingchun), three non-executive Directors and four independent non-executive Directors and therefore has a strong element of independence in its composition.

Model code For securItIes transactIons by dIrectors oF tHe coMPany

The Company has adopted the Model Code as its own code of conduct for dealing in securities of the Company by the Directors. Having made specific enquiry of all the Directors, each Director confirmed that he/ she has complied with the required standard set out in the Model Code throughout the first half of 2014.

PublIc Float

Based on the information that is publicly available to the Company and as is known to the Directors, during the six months ended 30 June 2014 and up to the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this report, the Company has maintained the amount of public float of not less than 25% of the Company’s issued shares as required under the Listing Rules.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Financial Report (Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)

1 corPorate InForMatIon

Winsway Enterprises Holdings Limited (formerly known as “Winsway Coking Coal Holdings Limited”) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) on 17 September 2007 with limited liability under the Business Companies Act of the British Virgin Islands (2004). The Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) are principally engaged in the processing and trading of coking coal and other products, development of coal mills and production of coking coal (classified as a discontinued operation) and rendering of logistics services.

2 basIs oF PreParatIon

This interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, including compliance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim financial reporting , issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). It was authorised for issue on 26 August 2014.

The interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the 2013 annual financial statements, except for the accounting policy changes that are expected to be reflected in the 2014 annual financial statements. Details of these changes in accounting policies are set out in note 3.

One of the Group’s subsidiaries, namely Grande Cache Coal LP (“GCC LP”) sustained a net loss from operations activities before impairment losses for non-current assets of $825 million for the year ended 31 December 2013. As a result of the continuing depression of the coking coal market, GCC LP incurred significant losses before taxation of $252 million, before impairment losses, and net cash outflow of $15 million from operating activities and investing activities in the six months ended 30 June 2014. As at 30 June 2014, GCC LP had total loans of $3,150 million (among which $965 million is repayable in the next 12 months from 30 June 2014) and cash and cash equivalents balance of $34 million, taking into account the fact that the Group finds itself difficult to continue providing financial support to GCC LP, the operation of GCC LP as a going concern is dependent on whether GCC LP can extend the repayment of those bank loans when they fall due and whether GCC LP can obtain new external financing. In addition, GCC LP has loans of $194 million due on 2 September 2014 and as of the date of approval of these financial statements is with insufficient liquidity to discharge the obligation in accordance with the terms of the loans. Without immediate financial support, GCC LP will be in default of its obligations under the terms of the loans and may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, GCC LP is actively negotiating with relevant banks for the loan restructuring and seeking new external financing. All these indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the ability of GCC LP to operate as a going concern in the foreseeable future.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Financial Report (Continued)

(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)

2 basIs oF PreParatIon (Continued)

On 27 June 2014, the board of directors of the Company resolved to commit to a plan to sell part or all of the Company’s interest in GCC LP to a level at which the Company would cease to hold a majority or controlling interest. Efforts to sell the disposal group have started and a sale is expected to be completed within one year. As at the date of approval of this financial report, the Company has communicated with several purchasers for the disposal of GCC LP. However, the Company has not yet entered into any agreement.

GCC LP and its coal mining operation as a whole represent the Group’s development of coal mills and production of coking coal and related products segment that is separated from the Group’s other business segments. Accordingly, GCC LP has been presented as a discontinued operation in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and the assets and liabilities of GCC LP have been classified as a disposal group held for sale. The comparative consolidated statement of profit or loss has been restated to show the discontinued operation separately from continuing operation. An impairment loss of $4,698,604,000 for write-downs of the disposal group to the lower of its carrying amount and its fair value less costs to sell has been recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the current period (see note 5). The directors of the Company are of the view that the Group is able to dispose of GCC LP without any material further losses after the above-mentioned impairment loss under the current market conditions.

In light of the measures of the Group described above, the directors of the Company are of the view that the Group is able to meet with its liabilities as and when they fall due in the foreseeable future. In addition, the above plan to dispose of GCC LP as a whole shall not have any material adverse impact to the results, cash flows and financial position of the remaining part of the Group. After such disposal, the remaining part of the Group is a viable group with processing and trading of coking coal, logistics services and other businesses. Accordingly, the directors of the Company consider that it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future.

The preparation of an interim financial report in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses on a year to date basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

This interim financial report contains condensed consolidated financial statements and selected explanatory notes. The notes include an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the 2013 annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereon do not include all of the information required for a full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”).

The interim financial report is unaudited, but has been reviewed by KPMG in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of interim financial information preformed by the independent auditor of the entity , issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. KPMG’s independent review report to the Board of Directors is included on page 76.

The financial information relating to the financial year ended 31 December 2013 that is included in the interim financial report as being previously reported information does not constitute the Company’s annual financial statements for that financial year but is derived from those financial statements. The annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013 are available from the Company’s registered office. The auditors have expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in their report dated 26 March 2014.

3 cHanges In accountIng PolIcIes

The IASB has issued the following amendments to IFRSs and one new Interpretation that are first effective for the current accounting period of the Group and the Company:

  • Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27, Investment entities

  • Amendments to IAS 32, Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

  • Amendments to IAS 36, Recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets

  • Amendments to IAS 39, Novation of derivatives and continuation of hedge accounting

  • IFRIC 21, Levies

The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period. Impacts of the adoption of new or amended IFRSs are discussed below:

Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27, Investment entities

The amendments provide consolidation relief to those parents which qualify to be an investment entity as defined in the amended IFRS 10. Investment entities are required to measure their subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss. These amendments do not have an impact on the Group’s interim financial report as the Company does not qualify to be an investment entity.

Amendments to IAS 32, Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

The amendments to IAS 32 clarify the offsetting criteria in IAS 32. The amendments do not have an impact on the Group’s interim financial report as they are consistent with the policies already adopted by the Group.

3 cHanges In accountIng PolIcIes (Continued)

Amendments to IAS 36, Recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets

The amendments to IAS 36 modify the disclosure requirements for impaired non-financial assets. Among them, the amendments expand the disclosures required for an impaired asset or cashgenerating units (“CGU”) whose recoverable amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal. Disclosures in respect of impaired assets relating to the disposal group held for sale of GCC LP have been disclosed in note 5.

Amendments to IAS 39, Novation of derivatives and continuation of hedge accounting

The amendments to IAS 39 provide relief from discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of a derivative designated as a hedging instrument meets certain criteria. The amendments do not have an impact on the Group’s interim financial report as the Group has not novated any of its derivatives.

IFRIC 21, Levies

The Interpretation provides guidance on when a liability to pay a levy imposed by a government should be recognised. The amendments do not have an impact on the Group’s interim financial report as the guidance is consistent with the Group’s existing accounting policies.

4 turnoVer and segMent rePortIng

(ii) Segment reporting

The Group manages its businesses by divisions, which are organised by a mixture of both business lines and geography. In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Group’s most senior executive management for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group has presented the following three reportable segments. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the following reportable segments.

  • Processing and trading of coking coal and other products: this segment manages and operates coal processing plants and generates income from processing and trading of coking coal and other products to external customers.

  • Development of coal mills and production of coking coal and related products (classified as a discontinued operation (see note 5)): this segment acquires, explores and develops coal mills and produces coal from the mills. On 1 March 2012, the Group acquired Grande Cache Coal Corporation (“GCC”), a Canadian company developing coal mills and producing coking coal and related products from the mills. On 27 June 2014, the board of directors of the Company resolved to commit to a plan to sell part or all of the Company’s interest in Grande Cache Coal LP (“GCC LP”), the subsidiary that carries on all of the assets and liabilities of GCC after the acquisition, to a level at which the Company would cease to hold a majority or controlling interest.

  • Logistics services: this segment constructs, manages and operates logistics parks and generates income from rendering of logistics services to external customers within the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).

  • (a) Segment results, assets and liabilities

For the purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources between segments, the Group’s senior executive management monitors the results, assets and liabilities attributable to each reportable segment on the following bases:

Segment assets include all tangible assets, intangible assets and current assets with the exception of interests in an associate and deferred tax assets. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables, obligations under finance lease, provisions, deferred income and bank and other borrowings managed directly by the segments.

Revenue and expenses are allocated to the reportable segments with reference to sales generated by those segments and the expenses incurred by those segments or which otherwise arise from the depreciation or amortisation of assets attributable to those segments. However, other than reporting inter-segment sales of coal products and logistics services, assistance provided by one segment to another, including sharing of assets and technical know-how, is not measured.

(ii) Segment reporting (Continued)

  • (a) Segment results, assets and liabilities (Continued)

The measure used for reporting segment (loss)/profit is “adjusted EBITDA” i.e. “adjusted (loss)/earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation”, where “interest” is regarded as including investment income and “depreciation and amortisation” is regarded as including impairment losses on non-current assets.

In addition to receiving segment information concerning adjusted EBITDA, management is provided with segment information concerning revenue (including inter-segment sales), interest income and expense from cash balances and borrowings managed directly by the segments, depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses and additions to non-current segment assets used by the segments in their operations. Inter-segment sales are priced with reference to prices charged to external parties for similar orders.

Information regarding the Group’s reportable segments as provided to the Group’s most senior executive management for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance for the six months ended 30 June 2014 is set out below.

5 dIsPosal grouP Held For sale and dIscontInued oPeratIon

As mentioned in note 2, on 27 June 2014, the board of directors of the Company resolved to commit to a plan to sell part or all of the Company’s interest in GCC LP to a level at which the Company would cease to hold a majority or controlling interest. Efforts to sell the disposal group have started and a sale is expected to be completed within one year. Accordingly, GCC LP has been presented as a discontinued operation in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and the assets and liabilities of GCC LP have been classified as a disposal group held for sale. The comparative consolidated statement of profit or loss has been restated to show the discontinued operation separately from continuing operations.

As at the date of approval of these financial statements, the Company had communicated with several purchasers for the disposal of GCC LP. However, the Company has not yet entered into any agreement.

(a) Impairment loss relating to the disposal group

An impairment loss of $4,698,604,000 for write-downs of the disposal group to the lower of its carrying amount and its fair value less costs to sell has been charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the current period. The impairment loss has been applied to reduce the carrying amount of intangible assets within the disposal group.

As at 30 June 2014, the remaining balance of $236,235,000 was classified as liabilities held for sale.

  • *** In accordance with the Group’s accounting policy, the Group has not recognised deferred tax assets in respect of cumulative tax losses of GCC LP of approximately $566,045,000 at 30 June 2014 as the management considers it is not probable that future taxable profits against which the losses can be utilised will be available in the relevant tax jurisdiction and entity.

(d) Measurement of fair value

  • (i) Fair value hierarchy

The non-recurring fair value measurement for the disposal group of $618,047,000 (before costs to sell of $15,503,000) has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. The fair value of the disposal group is determined by the directors with reference to coal prices and other information provided by the Company’s financial advisor engaged for the disposal of GCC LP. The directors of the Company expect that the disposal of GCC LP can be completed in one year.

  • (ii) Valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs

The following shows the valuation technique used in measuring the fair value of the disposal group, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

Valuation technique: Discounted cash flow

Discounted cash flows consider the present value of the net cash flows expected to be generated from the disposal group, taking into account the coal price assumptions and estimated production volume; the expected net cash flows are discounted using a riskadjusted discount rate.

Significant unobservable inputs:

  • the coal price assumptions are based on the median of forecasted prices of coals in Canada sourced from a number of reputable investment banks as provided by Company’s financial advisor (31 December 2013: coal price assumptions are based on management’s best estimate with reference to past experience of the industry and consistent with external sources). These prices were adjusted to arrive at appropriate consistent price assumptions for the different qualities and type of coal. For short-term coal price assumptions for the next five years, US$122 to US$155 per tonne and US$63 per tonne for hard coking coal and thermal coal respectively (31 December 2013: US$120 to US$172 per tonne and US$66 per tonne respectively) have been used to estimate future revenues. For coal prices beyond the fifth year, US$149 and US$63 per tonne for hard coking coal and thermal coal respectively (31 December 2013: US$175 to US$202 per tonne and US$66 per tonne respectively) have been used to estimate future revenues.

5 dIsPosal grouP Held For sale and dIscontInued oPeratIon (Continued)

(d) Measurement of fair value (Continued)

  • (ii) Valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs (Continued)

  • estimated production volumes are based on detailed life-of-mine plans derived from technical report prepared by competent persons. Production volumes are dependent on a number of variables, such as the recoverable quantities, the production profile, the cost of the development of the infrastructure necessary to extract the reserves, the production costs, the contractual duration of mining rights and the selling price of the coal extracted. These are then assessed to ensure they are consistent with what a market participant would estimate.

  • pre-tax discount rate of 11.25% (31 December 2013: 8.80%) was applied to the future cash flows. This discount rate is derived from the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) with reference to the required rate of return demanded by investors for similar companies as provided by the Company’s financial advisor (31 December 2013: derived from WACC of GCC LP). The WACC takes into account both debt and equity, weighted based on ratio of debt to equity of 100% (31 December 2013: 57%). The cost of equity is derived from the required return on similar coking coal companies of 13.00% (31 December 2013: 11.99%). The cost of debt is based on the market long-term lending rate of 9.50% (31 December 2013: 3.20%).

(c) Impairment loss

An impairment loss of $58,764,000 for plant and machinery in respect of one of the Group’s coal processing factory in the PRC has been charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the current period due to unfavourable future prospect of the coking coal business and low utilisation of the coal processing factory. The impairment loss has been provided based on value in use calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on financial forecasts prepared by management covering a five-year period. The cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate of 11.27%. The discount rate used reflects specific risks relating to the relevant segment.

Construction in progress mainly represents the construction of the ancillary facilities for coal processing plants and the construction of logistics facilities in Inner Mongolia as at 30 June 2014. During the six months ended 30 June 2014, construction in progress has an addition of $35,607,000 (six months ended 30 June 2013: $127,198,000).

12 IntantIble assets

13 otHer non-current assets

Other non-current assets mainly represent the long-term portion of a loan to a third party company (also see note 16(i)) and advance payments for equipment purchase and construction in progress.

14 deFerred tax assets/lIabIlItIes

The Group has not recognised deferred tax assets in respect of deductible temporary differences and tax losses incurred by the subsidiaries of the Group of $520,400,000 and $1,706,331,000 respectively (31 December 2013: $555,800,000 and $1,466,739,000) as management of the Group considers that it is not possible as at 30 June 2014 to estimate, with any degree of certainty, the future taxable profits which may be earned by these subsidiaries. In particular, in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy, the Group has not recognised deferred tax assets in respect of cumulative tax losses at 30 June 2014 as the management considers it is not probable that future taxable profits against which the losses can be utilised will be available in the relevant tax jurisdiction and entity.

  • (i) In 2009, the Company agreed to provide a loan to Moveday Enterprises Limited (“Moveday”) to purchase additional vehicles to meet with the increasing volume of coal procured by the Group in Mongolia, and Moveday has agreed to use the trucks purchased through financing provided by the Company for the provision of transportation services to the Group during the term of the agreement. Pursuant to a loan agreement entered into on 10 April 2010 (as subsequently amended by a supplemental deed on 15 September 2010) and the strategic alliance agreement, the Company agreed to lend Moveday up to US$40 million solely for the purpose of purchasing vehicles for transporting coal purchased by the Group in Mongolia. The loan to Moveday was provided on an unsecured basis, at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3% and repayable over five years in equal annual installments of US$8 million, commencing from 18 months after the receipt of the loan (being 31 December 2012) by Moveday, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears. The entire loan amount was fully drawn down in 2010. As Moveday is a third party and the loan to Moveday is an unsecured loan, the Group do not have an interest in or control over the cash flows or other assets of Moveday other than in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement (as amended).

During 2013, the Group has entered into another supplemental agreement with Moveday to modify the repayment terms of the remaining outstanding principal of US$32 million. Pursuant to the supplemental agreement, the remaining outstanding principal is repayable on 31 December from 2013 to 2015 with an amount of US$4 million plus a floating repayment amount up to US$6 million. The floating repayment amount is calculated based on the volume of coals transported (maximum of 12 million tonnes) by Moveday for the Group during each year. Apart from the repayment terms, all the other terms of the loan are not changed and Moveday is obliged to repay the entire outstanding principal on or before 31 December 2016. The outstanding loan balance as at 30 June 2014 is US$24.4 million (equivalent to $189 million) (31 December 2013: US$24.4 million (equivalent to $189 million)), among which US$20.4 million(equivalent to $158 million) (31 December 2013: US$20.4 million (equivalent to $158 million)) is classified as non-current assets.

The Group and Moveday have entered into agreements that Moveday purchases coking coal from Mongolian coking coal suppliers at mine mouth and sells such coking coal entirely to the Group at the PRC border at a price on a delivered at place (DAP) basis. Accordingly, during the six months ended 30 June 2014, the Group has purchased coking coal of $nil (six months ended 30 June 2013: $326 million) from Moveday. In addition to the above, the Group incurred transportation expenses of $36.8 million (six months ended 30 June 2013: $175 million) for coking coal transportation services provided by Moveday during the six months ended 30 June 2014.

  • (ii) Derivative financial instruments represent fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts as at 30 June 2014 and 31 December 2013.

All of the trade and other receivables are expected to be recovered or recognised as expenses within one year.

The credit terms for trade debtors are generally within 90 days. Bills receivable are normally due within 90 days to 180 days from the date of issue.

At 30 June 2014, trade and bills receivables of the Group of $1,239,399,000 (31 December 2013: $489,542,000) have been pledged as collateral for the Group’s borrowings (see note 19).

At 30 June 2014, bills receivable of the Group of $1,328,206,000 (31 December 2013: $4,027,409,000) were derecognised from the consolidated statement of financial position as the relevant bills have been discounted to banks on a non-recourse basis.

(b) Impairment of trade receivables, bills receivable and receivables from import agents

No allowance of impairment loss has been recorded in respect of trade receivables, bills receivable and receivables from import agents for the six months ended 30 June 2014.

The ageing analysis of trade receivables, bills receivable and receivables from import agents that are neither individually nor collectively considered to be impaired is as follows:

At 30 June At 31 December
2014 2013
$’000 $’000
Neither past due nor impaired 2,701,394 4,030,925
Less than 3 months past due 168,460 94,164
More than 3 months but less than 12 months past due 204,902 5,837
3,074,756 4,130,926

Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired relate to customers for whom there was no recent history of default.

Receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a good track record with the Group. Based on past experience, management believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable.

The Senior Notes are guaranteed by the Group’s existing subsidiaries other than those established/ incorporated under the laws of the PRC, Winsway Coking Coal Holdings S.à.r.l., 0925165 B.C. Ltd., GCC and GCC LP as an application of the principle stated in the Company’s offering memorandum on 1 April 2011 (the “Subsidiary Guarantor”). In addition, the Company has agreed, for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Notes, to pledge the capital stock of each Subsidiary Guarantor in order to secure the obligations of the Company.

The Senior Notes are carried at amortised cost.

During the year ended 31 December 2013, the Group repurchased Senior Notes in aggregate principal amount of US$153,190,000 with a cash consideration of US$73,595,000 in the open market. The Senior Notes repurchased were redeemed subsequently. The difference between the carrying amount of the Senior Notes redeemed and the consideration paid, net off against the transaction costs incurred, was recognised as a gain of US$76,383,000 (equivalent to $592,495,000) on redemption of Senior Notes in the Group’s consolidated statement of profit or loss. The outstanding Senior Notes with principal amount of US$309,310,000 will be matured on 8 April 2016.

The Amendments eliminated the limitations on indebtedness, restricted payments, dividend and other payment restrictions affecting Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture), sales and issuances of capital stock in Restricted Subsidiaries, issuances of guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries, sale and leaseback transactions, transactions with shareholders and affiliates and business activities as contained in the Indenture. The consent payment is amortised over the remaining period of the outstanding Senior Notes.

During the six months ended 30 June 2013, the Group repurchased Senior Notes in aggregate principal amount of US$2,000,000 in the open market and recorded a profit of $3,022,000. No Senior Notes were repurchased during the six months ended 30 June 2014.

(i) Fair value hierarchy

The following table presents the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments measured at the end of the reporting period on a recurring basis, categorised into the three-level fair value hierarchy as defined in IFRS 13, Fair value measurement . The level into which a fair value measurement is classified is 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

  • (ii) Valuation techniques and inputs used in Level 2 fair value measurements

The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts in Level 2 is determined by discounting the contractual forward price and deducting the current spot rate. The discount rate used is derived from the relevant government yield curve as at the end of the reporting period plus an adequate constant credit spread.

Review Report to the Board of Directors of Winsway Enterprises Holdings Limited

(formerly known as “Winsway Coking Coal Holdings Limited”)

(Incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability)

IntroductIon

We have reviewed the interim financial report set out on pages 27 to 75 which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position of Winsway Enterprises Holdings Limited (formerly known as “Winsway Coking Coal Holdings Limited”) as at 30 June 2014 and the related consolidated statement of profit or loss, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the six months then ended and explanatory notes.

The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of an interim financial report to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and International Accounting Standard 34, Interim financial reporting , issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial report in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34.

Our responsibility is to form a conclusion, based on our review, on the interim financial report and to report our conclusion 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 the interim financial report consists of making enquiries, 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 report as at 30 June 2014 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim financial reporting .
