KINETIC MINES AND ENERGY LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2013

ChaIrman’s statement

On behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Kinetic Mines and Energy Limited, I am pleased to present the annual results of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) for the year ended 31 December 2013.

Following years of developing capabilities for coal mining, processing, transport and trade, the Group’s Dafanpu Coal Mine has commenced commercial production since the end of 2012. Receipt of the permits and approvals required for the operations of the Xiaojia Station and its associated rail spur lines, as well as completion of construction of the longwall top coal caving system of the No. 6 coal seam of the Dafanpu Coal Mine took the Group’s business operation to a track of sustainable growth.

In 2013, the commercial coal output of the Dafanpu Coal Mine aggregated 469,200 tonnes, and its coal sales volume aggregated 426,500 tonnes, for selling prices averaged at RMB297.0 per tonne (excluding value-added tax). The commercial production of the Dafanpu Coal Mine boosted coal sales revenue, and thus helped lift the Group’s turnover to RMB126.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2013 (2012: RMB31.7 million). Loss for the year ended 31 December 2013 amounted to approximately RMB155.4 million, compared with the loss of RMB115.1 million for 2012. The loss mainly stemmed from the fact that the commercial production of the Dafanpu Coal Mine was still at a teething stage awaiting operations to be up to full capacity for better efficiency. In addition, coal prices remained low during the year, another impediment for achieving operational breakeven.

During the year, following completion of construction of the Group’s 45%-owned Xiaojia Station and its associated rail spur lines, and receipt of all relevant permits and approvals, the first loaded coal train departed from the station on 21 August 2013 and delivered the Group’s coal product through the Nanping Rail Line and the DatongQinhuangdao Rail Line to Qinhuangdao, where the business of the Group’s coal trading centre was being strengthened for most of the year. In addition, the Group successfully opened an individual railway account at Taiyuan Railway Bureau. Also, with an average handling capacity of 5,000 tonnes per hour of the Xiaojia Station, the Group can fully utilise the transportation loading capacity of Xiaojia Station to sell the purchased coal, so as to increase the sales and profitability of the Group.

As production gradually ramped up and the Xiaojia Station commenced operations, the Group’s coal trading centre in Qinhuangdao saw significant pick-ups in sales and marketing activities. Transportation by rail significantly reduced the unit transportation cost from Inner Mongolia to Qinhuangdao, allowing the Group to exploit benefits from the difference in coal prices between the two locations. It was also through direct participation in the coal trading business in Qinhuangdao that the Group acquired a better grasp of the latest trends of pricing, market, transportation demand, technology, safety and management. This will strengthen the position of the Group in the coal industry.

The designed annual production capacity of the Dafanpu Coal Mine is set to increase from 2.4 million tonnes run-ofmine in 2013 to 5 million tonnes run-of-mine in 2014 following the completion of the longwall top coal caving system for the No. 6 coal seam. The commercial operation of the No. 6 coal seam will become a major source of revenue for the Group in the coming years. The No. 6 coal seam contains the richest coal reserve among all coal seams at the Dafanpu Coal Mine. It has an average seam thickness of 23 metres and thus makes mining there more stable and efficient. This enables the Group to produce low-sulphur coal products with high thermal value.

KINETIC MINES AND ENERGY LIMITED • ANNUAL REPORT 2013

ChaIrman’s statement

The Group remains confident about the development of China’s energy market, given the country’s sustaining economic growth, albeit relatively slower than that of the past decade. China’s thermal coal prices are bottoming out as major inventories completed stock clearances, resulting in a much slower increase in the PRC’s overall inventory by the end of 2013 as compared to 2012. The continuing consolidation of the coal sector eliminated many obsolete mines, putting demand and supply in a better equilibrium. Persistent efforts by coal enterprises to optimise their production processes and transportation infrastructure investments helped to improve their cost structures, putting them back in a better position to compete with imported coal. These will narrow the price difference between domestically produced and imported coal.

In addition, according to “The Twelfth Five-year Plan for Coal Industry Development” released by the National Development and Reform Commission, the PRC government is supportive of ongoing consolidation within the coal sector through mergers, acquisitions and corporate restructuring in order to eliminate backward production capacity and foster sizeable mining groups.

The Group will continue to identify high-quality mining projects for investment according to its core strategy of beefing up its coal resources and reserves.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all shareholders and partners for their continuous support to the Group. I would also like to express my appreciation to the management team and the entire staff for their contributions and hard work.

DIVERSE OFFERING OF QUALITY PRODUCTS

Market Review

During 2013, the central government in China (the “PRC”) persisted in its macroeconomic policy of “Making Progress While Maintaining Stability” to make constant innovation on the methods of control and accelerate industry transformation and upgrade. The overall economy of the PRC realised steady growth and enjoyed good momentum. The PRC’s economy recorded a growth of 7.7% for the year of 2013, paving the way for a more robust recovery in 2014.

According to official statistics from the China National Coal Association, output from all coal mines in the PRC aggregated about 3.7 billion tonnes in 2013, 50 million tonnes more than that in 2012. The PRC as a whole consumed about 3.61 billion tonnes, up 2.6% year on year. The overall inventory of domestic coal corporations increased by approximately 700,000 tonnes year on year to approximately 84 million tonnes as at the end of 2013. Meanwhile, according to the figures from the General Administration of Customs of the PRC, the PRC imported a total of 327 million tonnes of coal and exported some 7.51 million tonnes in 2013, equivalent to a net import of 320 million tonnes, 40 million tonnes more than 2012 and hit a record high.

The PRC continued to have a relatively heavy dependence on imported coal because of the continued deep discounts of the overseas coal prices compared to the price of domestically produced coal, even when sea-freight and rail transport charges were included. The relatively large price differential between domestically produced coal and imported coal also prompted some coal mines in remote regions without convenient transportation access to suspend production to minimise losses. This also prompted some heavy coal-consuming enterprises, which are located in the coastal region, to turn to imported coal as their major source of coal usage.

Starting from the second half of 2013, accelerated stock clearance and stockpiling of coal by downstream corporations for winter resulted in a recovered demand for coal. In view of the substantial decrease in hydropower output and expected changes such as the inspection and maintenance of Daqin Railway in October 2013 and stockpiling of coal for winter, the coastal coal markets showed signs of stability since the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2013 and demand recovered.

Despite initiatives to rebalance the proportion of fossil and non-fossil fuels used in power generation in the PRC, coalfired power generation capacity continued to comprise a lion’s share of the PRC’s total at 69.6% in 2013, according to the National Energy Administration. Coal continues to be a strategic resource, and plays a vital and irreplaceable role in ensuring the steady supply of energy and electricity in the PRC.

In the medium to long term, the PRC’s industrialisation, urbanisation and agricultural modernisation will continue their steady development, which will facilitate the persisting demand for electricity and thermal coal. Figures from the State Electricity Regulatory Commission of the PRC illustrated that the PRC’s power generation in 2013 experienced a moderate growth of 7.6% to 5.25 trillion kWh, faster than the 4.52% growth in 2012.

Meanwhile, constructive consolidation continued within the PRC’s coal sector. According to the China National Coal Association, more than 770 coal mines were closed across the PRC in 2013, approximately 490 coal mines received technology upgrades for output enhancement, and some 610 small-scale coal mines were merged with larger coal mines. The PRC as a whole eliminated some 200 million tonnes of obsolete coal production capacity.

Looking ahead to 2014, we believe the PRC’s economy will be on track for sustained recovery while ongoing revival of industrial production will sustain domestic energy demand. Prices are expected to remain stable for the foreseeable future.

Business Review

During the year ended 31 December 2013, the Group continued to achieve remarkable growth and development in its business by (i) obtaining the required permits and approvals for the operations of the Xiaojia Station with the associated rail spur lines; and (ii) ramping up the designed production capacity of the Dafanpu Coal Mine to 5.0 million run-of-mine tonnes of coal per year after the completion of the longwall top coal caving system for the No. 6 coal seam of the Dafanpu Coal Mine.

For the year ended 31 December 2013, the Dafanpu Coal Mine produced a total of approximately 1.2 million tonnes of raw coal and processed a portion of the raw coal into an aggregate of 469,200 tonnes of fine coal. Sales generated during the year under review comprised approximately 426,500 tonnes of fine coal at an average selling price (excluding VAT) of RMB297.0 per tonne.

The Group had been making continuous efforts to improve the production efficiency of the Dafanpu Coal Mine despite the challenges and difficulties that we faced during the year. Since the second half of the year, the Group focused its resources and manpower on the construction of the longwall top coal caving system for the No. 6 coal seam of the Dafanpu Coal Mine, which was substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2013. The No. 6 coal seam is the best coal seam at the Dafanpu Coal Mine, with an average coal seam thickness of 23 meters, and the Group believes that the average coal recovery percentage at the No. 6 coal seam would be higher than that of the No. 5 coal seam. Therefore, in order to increase the production level and operating efficiency of the Dafanpu Coal Mine, the Group decided to transition to the No. 6 coal seam to continue mining since the end of 2013. The Group expects that the average washability yield and production volume of fine coal at the Dafanpu Coal Mine will surge after the No. 6 coal seam commences commercial production in 2014 and the unit production costs will then decrease accordingly. Based on the data collected during the trial production of the No. 6 coal seam, the washability yield of the No. 6 coal seam can reach 70% or above.

On the other hand, after the required permits and approvals were obtained in June 2013, the first loaded coal train departed from Xiaojia Station for Qinhuangdao on 21 August 2013. This was a remarkable moment in the Group’s development as the Xiaojia Station enables the Group to transport coal products from its Dafanpu Coal Mine and those procured from other third-party coal mine operators to Qinhuangdao through the Nanping Rail Line and Datong-Qinhuangdao Rail Line. This strengthens the Group’s coal trading business in Qinhuangdao and reduces the unit transportation cost from Zhunge’er Banner to Qinhuangdao. Since the coal prices at Qinhuangdao port were higher than the mine gate prices at Inner Mongolia, the Group expanded its coal trading business in Qinhuangdao through the Xiaojia Station during the second half of the year. As at 19 March 2014, the average selling price of 5,000 kCal/kg coal at the Qinhuangdao port was RMB450.0 to RMB460.0 per tonne (VAT inclusive).

Exploration, Development and Mining Production Activities

For the year ended 31 December 2013, the Group’s Dafanpu Coal Mine was at commercial production stage and produced a total of 1.2 million tonnes of raw coal and processed a portion of the raw coal into an aggregate of 469,200 tonnes of fine coal. There were no material changes in coal resources and coal reserves of the Dafanpu Coal Mine prepared under the Joint Ore Reserves Committee Code (“JORC”) as at 31 December 2013 when compared to the information disclosed in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2011.

During the year ended 31 December 2013, the Group entered into a number of contracts in relation to the development of the No. 6 coal seam and the coal washing plant of the Dafanpu Coal Mine. As at 31 December 2013, the Group’s outstanding capital commitments amounted to approximately RMB45.4 million, which were mainly related to the aforementioned development activities of the Dafanpu Coal Mine.

For the year ended 31 December 2013, the Group incurred capital expenditures of approximately RMB256.1 million, which were mainly related to purchases of additional mining machinery and equipment for the development and mining production activities of the Dafanpu Coal Mine.

The Group did not conduct any exploration activities and did not incur any expense or capital expenditure in exploration activities during the year ended 31 December 2013.

The breakdown of the Group’s expenses in relation to its mining production activities for the year ended 31 December 2013 is summarised as follows:

Prospects

The future development of the Group will still be full of challenges and opportunities. The supply and demand fundamentals in the PRC thermal coal market were quite challenging in 2013. The control measures enacted by the PRC government restricted lending and investment, and slower growth in developed countries reduced Chinese exports, which in turn had an impact on the demand of thermal coal in the PRC. However, after obtaining the required permits and approvals for the operations of the Xiaojia Station and ramping up the designed production capacity of the Dafanpu Coal Mine to 5.0 million run-of-mine tonnes of coal per year as well as the implementation of the confirmed railway transport plan, the Group has accomplished its goal of becoming an integrated coal provider and laid a solid foundation for its future development.

Apart from focusing on the commercial production of the No. 6 coal seam of the Dafanpu Coal Mine and the Group’s trading business at Qinhuangdao, the Group strongly believes that it can gain a more dominant position in the coal market by acquiring more coal resources. Therefore, the Group will continue to identify quality and suitable coal investment projects for merger and acquisition. This is in line with its strategy of achieving synergies and economies of scale by increasing coal resources and coal reserves and integrating them with the Group’s business.

For the year ended 31 December 2013, the Group incurred cost of sales of RMB90.2 million. Cost of sales mainly comprises salaries of coal mine workers, costs of supplementary materials, fuel and electricity, depreciation, amortisation and surcharges of mining operations. The increase in the Group’s cost of sales was largely in line with the increase in turnover.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

During the year ended 31 December 2013, the Group recorded gross profit of RMB36.5 million and gross profit margin of 28.8% as compared to the gross profit of RMB6.5 million and gross profit margin of 20.6% for the year ended 31 December 2012.

Other Revenue

Other revenue of the Group decreased from RMB6.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2012 to RMB0.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2013.

For the year ended 31 December 2013, the Group’s other revenue mainly comprised interest income.

For the year ended 31 December 2012, the Group’s other revenue mainly comprised exchange gains from conversion of funds.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses of the Group increased from RMB3.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2012 to RMB30.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2013. The selling expenses mainly comprised salaries of staff and distribution costs.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Group’s management has adopted certain policies on financial risk management with the objective of: (i) ensuring that appropriate funding strategies are adopted to meet the Group’s short term and long term funding requirements taking into consideration of the cost of funding, gearing ratios and cash flow projections of each individual project and of the Group; and (ii) ensuring that appropriate strategies are also adopted to minimise the related interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and liquidity risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from bank loans. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk and borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group did not enter into any financial instruments to hedge against interest rate risk for the year ended 31 December 2013 but the Board will continue to closely monitor the Group’s loan portfolio in order to manage the Group’s interest rate risk exposure.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company and its subsidiaries now comprising the Group are not exposed to significant foreign currency risk since their transactions and balances are principally denominated in their respective functional currencies. As the foreign currency risk is insignificant, the Group did not enter into any financial instruments to hedge against foreign currency risk for the year ended 31 December 2013.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Group utilises cash flow forecast and other relevant information to monitor its liquidity requirements and to ensure the Group has sufficient cash to support its business and operational activities.

Investor Communications and Shareholders’ Rights

The Company considers timely communication to shareholders and/or investors and transparent reporting as key components of good corporate governance.

The Company aims to maintain frequent and timely communication with its shareholders and/or investors through a variety of communication channels, including but not limited to general meetings, annual and interim reports and official announcements. General meetings provide a platform for shareholders to exchange views with the Board and the Directors are available to answer questions at the Company’s annual general meetings. Shareholders will be sent a copy of the annual and interim reports or be notified of the release of such reports. Annual and interim reports are accessible on the website of the Stock Exchange and the Company’s website at www.kineticme.com, where general information on the Group’s business and activities is available for public access. Official announcements will be released from time to time in accordance with the Listing Rules to update our shareholders and/or investors with the latest developments of the Group.

Voting at general meetings of the Company is conducted by way of poll in accordance with the Listing Rules. The poll results will be announced at general meetings and published on the websites of the Stock Exchange and the Company, respectively.

Pursuant to Clause 64 of the Company’s existing articles of association, one or more shareholders holding, at the date of deposit of the requisition, not less than one tenth of the paid up capital of the Company having the right of voting at general meetings may deposit a written requisition (the “Written Requisition”) to the Board or the company secretary for the purpose of requiring an extraordinary general meeting to be called by the Board for the transaction of any business specified in the Written Requisition. Such meeting shall be held within two months after the deposit of the Written Requisition if the requisition is confirmed as proper and valid. If within 21 days of such deposit, the Board fails to proceed to convene such meeting, the requisitionist(s) himself (themselves) may do so in the same manner, and all reasonable expenses incurred by the requisitionist(s) as a result of the failure of the Board shall be reimbursed to the requisitionist(s) by the Company.

Internal Controls

The Group has an internal control system which plays an important role in maintaining and improving accountability and transparency in the conduct of the Group’s business, safeguarding the interests of the Company’s shareholders and the assets of the Group and enhancing investor confidence. The Company’s audit committee is responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control system and its compliance with the Listing Rules.

The Board believes that the Group’s existing internal control system is adequate and effective.

King Lok Holdings Limited, Mr. Zhang Liang, Johnson and Mr. Zhang Li (the “Covenantors”) have entered into a deed of non-competition dated 9 March 2012 in favour of the Company and its subsidiaries, pursuant to which each of the Covenantors has undertaken that it/he and its/his respective associates (other than any members of the Group) not to carry on, engage, invest, participate or otherwise be interested in or acquire or hold any restricted business unless such restricted business has first been offered or made available to the Group, and the Group, after review and approval by an independent Board committee of the Company comprising only of independent non-executive Directors who do not have a material interest in such restricted business, has declined to pursue such opportunity.

The Directors are of the view that the measures in place are sufficient to safeguard the interests of the Company and its shareholders against any competition issues or potential competition issues.

Directors’ Responsibilities for Financial Reporting

The Directors acknowledge their responsibility for preparing the financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2013 and confirm that the financial statements contained herein give a true and fair view of the results and state of affairs of the Group for the year under review. The Directors consider that the financial statements have been prepared in conformity with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and reflect amounts which are based on best estimates and reasonable, informed and prudent judgment of the Board. Such acknowledgement should be read in conjunction with, but be distinguished from, the statement of the external auditors of the Company, KPMG, in relation to their reporting responsibilities as set out in their auditor’s report on pages 43 to 44 of this annual report. The Directors are also responsible for taking all reasonable and necessary steps to safeguard the assets of the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

Going Concern

To the shareholders of Kinetic Mines and Energy Limited

(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Kinetic Mines and Energy Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) set out on pages 45 to 89, which comprise the consolidated and Company balance sheets as at 31 December 2013, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Directors’ responsibility for the consolidated financial statements

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. This report is made solely to you, as a body, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

notes to the ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements

(Expressed in Renminbi)

1 Significant accounting policies

(a) Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (HKFRSs), which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (HKASs) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. These financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Kinetic Mines and Energy Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) is set out below.

The HKICPA has issued certain new and revised HKFRSs that are first effective or available for early adoption for the current accounting period of the Group and the Company. Note 2 provides information on any changes in accounting policies resulting from initial application of these developments to the extent that they are relevant to the Group for the current and prior accounting periods reflected in these financial statements.

(b) Basis of presentation and preparation of the financial statements

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013 comprise the Group and the Group’s interest in an associate.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), rounded to the nearest thousand except per share data. It is prepared on the historical cost basis.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of asset, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have significant effect on the financial statements and major sources of estimation uncertainty are disclosed in note 28.

1 Significant accounting policies (Cont’d)

(c) Going concern

As at 31 December 2013, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by RMB836,520,000 which indicated the existence of an uncertainty that may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. As at 31 December 2013, the Group had unutilised banking facilities totalling RMB900,000,000 for working capital and capital expenditure purposes. In addition, the Group is currently in the process of negotiating with a bank to renew its current bank loans upon expiry in order to improve its liquidity position. The Directors have evaluated all the relevant facts available, which included operation plan and profit forecast of the Group for the year ending 31 December 2014, and are of the opinion that the Group will have the necessary liquid funds to finance its working capital and capital expenditure requirements. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

(d) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. When assessing whether the Group has power, only substantive rights (held by the Group and other parties) are considered.

An investment in a subsidiary is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group balances, transactions and cash flows and any unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

In the Company’s balance sheet, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses (see note 1(i)).

(e) Associates

An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over its management, including participation in the financial and operating policy decisions.

Interest in an associate is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements under the equity method.

(Expressed in Renminbi)

1 Significant accounting policies (Cont’d)

(f) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment, which consist of machinery and equipment, motor vehicles, office equipment, buildings and mining structures, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 1(i)).

The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price, any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and location for its intended use, the cost of borrowed funds used during the period of construction and, when relevant, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and changes in the measurement of existing liabilities recognised for these costs resulting from changes in the timing or outflow of resources required to settle the obligation or from changes in the discount rate.

The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other cost is recognised as an expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period in which it is incurred.

When proved and probable coal reserves have been determined, costs incurred to develop coal mines are capitalised as part of the cost of the mining structures. All other expenditures, including the cost of repairs and maintenance and major overhaul, are expensed as they are incurred. Mining exploration costs, such as expenditures related to locating coal deposits and determining the economic feasibility, and the costs of removing waste materials or “stripping costs” are expensed as incurred.

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment, other than mining structures, over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis, after taking into account its estimated residual value. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Depreciable life
Machinery and equipment 5–15 years
Motor vehicles 5–10 years
Office equipment 5–6 years
Buildings 30–40 years

Mining structures are depreciated on the units-of-production method utilising only proved and probable coal reserves in the depletion base.

1 Significant accounting policies (Cont’d)

(f) Property, plant and equipment (Cont’d)

Construction in progress represents property, plant and equipment under construction and equipment pending installation and is initially recognised in the consolidated balance sheet at cost. Cost of selfconstructed items of property, plant and equipment include the cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads and borrowing costs (see note 1(q)). Capitalisation of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to property, plant and equipment when all of the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed, notwithstanding any delays in the issue of the relevant completion certificates by the relevant authorities.

No depreciation is provided in respect of construction in progress until it is completed and ready for its intended use.

(g) Mining rights

Mining rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses (see note 1(i)). The mining rights are amortised using the units-of-production method based on the proved and probable coal reserves in the depletion base. The Group’s mining rights are of sufficient duration (or convey a legal right to renew for sufficient duration) to enable all reserves to be mined in accordance with current production schedules.

(h) Operating lease charges

Where the Group has the use of assets held under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to profit or loss in equal installments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased asset. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

(i) Impairment of assets

  • (i) Impairment of investment in an associate and trade and other receivables

Investment in an associate and trade and other receivables are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence of impairment includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Group about one or more of the following loss events:

  • significant financial difficulty of the debtor;

  • a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

  • it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;

  • significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor; and

  • a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.

If any such evidence exists, any impairment loss is determined and recognised as follows:

  • For investment in an associate accounted for under the equity method in the consolidated financial statements (see note 1(e)), the impairment loss is measured by comparing the recoverable amount of the investment with its carrying amount in accordance with note 1(i)(ii). The impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount in accordance with note 1(i)(ii).

  • For trade and other receivables, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the receivable’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the receivable’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these receivables), where the effect of discounting is material. This assessment is made collectively where these receivables share similar risk characteristics, such as similar past due status, and have not been individually assessed as impaired. Future cash flows for receivables which are assessed for impairment collectively are based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to the collective group.

If in a subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. A reversal of an impairment loss shall not result in the receivable’s carrying amount exceeding that which would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years.

Impairment losses are written off against the corresponding assets directly, except for impairment losses recognised in respect of trade and other receivables, whose recovery is considered doubtful but not remote. In this case, the impairment losses for doubtful debts are recorded using an allowance account. When the Group is satisfied that recovery is remote, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against trade and other receivables directly and any amounts held in the allowance account relating to that debt are reversed. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged to the allowance account are reversed against the allowance account. Other changes in the allowance account and subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off directly are recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Impairment of other assets

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at each balance sheet date to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:

  • property, plant and equipment;

  • intangible assets; and

  • investment in a subsidiary in the Company’s balance sheet

If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. In addition, for intangible assets that are not yet available for use and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives, the recoverable amount is estimated annually whether or not there is any indication of impairment.

(i) Impairment of assets (Cont’d)

  • (ii) Impairment of other assets (Cont’d)

  • Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).

  • Recognition of impairment losses

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro-rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs of disposal (if necessary) or value in use (if determinable).

  • Reversals of impairment losses

An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

A reversal of an impairment loss is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior periods. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the period in which the reversals are recognised.

(j) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts (see note 1(i)), except where the receivables are interest-free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts.

(k) Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost formula and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

(l) Interest-bearing borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between the amount initially recognised and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings, together with any interest and fees payable, using the effective interest method.

(m) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value. Trade and other payables are subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

(n) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand.

(o) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Group or the Company has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.

(o) Provisions and contingent liabilities (Cont’d)

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

(p) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in profit or loss as follows:

(i) Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised when goods are delivered at the customers’ premises which is taken to be the point in time when the customer has accepted the goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership. Revenue excludes value added taxes or other sales taxes and is after deduction of any trade discounts.

(ii) Interest income

Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.

(q) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or completed.

(r) Translation of foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.

1 Significant accounting policies (Cont’d)

(r) Translation of foreign currencies (Cont’d)

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was measured.

The results of foreign operations are translated into RMB at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Balance sheet items are translated into RMB at the closing foreign exchange rates at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the exchange reserve.

(s) Obligations for land reclamation

The Group’s obligations for land reclamation consist of spending estimates at underground mines in accordance with the PRC rules and regulations. The Group estimates its liabilities for final reclamation and mine closure based upon detailed calculations of the amount and timing of the future cash spending for a third party to perform the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for inflation, then discounted at a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability such that the amount of provision reflects the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The Group records a corresponding asset associated with the liability for final reclamation and mine closure. The obligation and corresponding asset are recognised in the period in which the liability is incurred. The asset is depreciated on the units-of-production method over its expected life and the liability is accreted to the projected spending date. As changes in estimates occur (such as mine plan revisions, changes in estimated costs, or changes in timing of the performance of reclamation activities), the revisions to the obligation and asset are recognised at the appropriate discount rate.

(t) Employee benefits

(i) Short-term employee benefits

Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these accounts are stated at their present values.

(ii) Defined contribution retirement plans

The Group’s contributions to defined contribution retirement plans administered by the PRC government are recognised as an expense when incurred according to the contribution determined by the plans.

(u) Income tax

Income tax comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to business combinations, or items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous periods.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits.

Apart from certain limited exceptions, all deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised. Future taxable profits that may support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences include those that will arise from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, provided those differences relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse either in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference or in periods into which a tax loss arising from the deferred tax asset can be carried back or forward. The same criteria is adopted when determining whether existing taxable temporary differences support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and credits, that is, those differences are taken into account if they relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse in a period, or periods, in which the tax loss or credit can be utilised.

The limited exceptions to recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities are those temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit (provided they are not part of a business combination) and temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that, in the case of taxable differences, the Group controls the timing of the reversal and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future, or in the case of deductible differences, unless it is probable that they will reverse in the future.

The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

(u) Income tax (Cont’d)

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilised. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

Current tax balances and deferred tax balances, and movements therein, are presented separately from each other and are not offset. Current tax assets are offset against current tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets are offset against deferred tax liabilities, if the Group has the legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the following additional conditions are met:

  • in the case of current tax assets and liabilities, the Group intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously; or

  • in the case of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • the same taxable entity; or

  • different taxable entities, which, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered, intend to realise the current tax assets and settle the current tax liabilities on a net basis or realise and settle simultaneously.

(v) Related parties

For the purposes of the financial statements, a related party is a person or entity that is related to the Group.

  • (i) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Group if:

  • (a) that person has control or joint control over the Group;

  • (b) that person has significant influence over the Group; or

  • (c) that person is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or of a parent of the Group.

  • (a) the entity and the Group are members of the same group;

  • (b) the entity is an associate or joint venture of the Group or the Group is an associate or joint venture of the entity or of a member of a group of which the entity is a member;

  • (c) the entity and the Group are joint ventures of the same third party;

  • (d) the entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the Group is an associate of the same third entity, or vice versa;

  • (e) the entity is a post-employment plan for the benefit of employees of either the Group or an entity related to the Group;

  • (f) the entity is controlled or jointly-controlled by a person identified in (i); or

  • (g) a person identified in (i)(a) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

Close family members of an individual are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that individual in their dealings with the entity.

(w) Segment reporting

Management has determined operating segments with reference to the reports reviewed by the chief operating decision maker of the Group that are used to assess the performance and allocate resources.

The chief operating decision maker of the Group assesses the performance and allocates the resources of the Group as a whole, as all of the Group’s activities are considered to be primarily dependent on the performance of the extraction and sales of coal products. Therefore, the Group’s management considers that there is only one operating segment under the requirements of HKFRS 8, Operating Segments. In this regard, no segment information is presented for the year.

No geographic information is shown as the Group’s operating loss is entirely derived from its business activities in the PRC.

2 Changes in accounting policies

The HKICPA has issued a number of new HKFRSs and amendments to HKFRSs that are first effective for the current accounting period of the Group and the Company. Of these, the following developments are relevant to the Group’s consolidated financial statements:

  • Amendments to HKAS 1, Presentation of financial statements — Presentation of items of other comprehensive income

  • HKFRS 10, Consolidated financial statements

  • HKFRS 12, Disclosure of interests in other entities

  • Amendments to HKFRS 7 — Disclosures — Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

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 HKFRSs are discussed below:

Amendments to HKAS 1, Presentation of financial statements — Presentation of items of other comprehensive income

The amendments to HKAS 1 require entities to present the items of other comprehensive income that would be reclassified to profit or loss in the future if certain conditions are met from those that would never be reclassified to profit or loss. The presentation of other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in these financial statements has been modified accordingly.

HKFRS 10, Consolidated financial statements

HKFRS 10 replaces the requirements in HKAS 27, Consolidated and separate financial statements relating to the preparation of consolidated financial statements and HK-SIC 12 Consolidation — Special purpose entities . It introduces a single control model to determine whether an investee should be consolidated, by focusing on whether the entity has power over the investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and the ability to use its power to affect the amount of those returns.

As a result of the adoption of HKFRS 10, the Group has changed its accounting policy with respect to determining whether it has control over an investee. The adoption does not change any of the control conclusions reached by the Group in respect of its involvement with other entities as at 1 January 2013.

HKFRS 12, Disclosure of interests in other entities

HKFRS 12 brings together into a single standard all the disclosure requirements relevant to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The disclosures required by HKFRS 12 are generally more extensive than those previously required by the respective standards. To the extent that the requirements are applicable to the Group, the Group has provided those disclosures in notes 11 and 14.

2 Changes in accounting policies (Cont’d)

Amendments to HKFRS 7 — Disclosures — Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

The amendments introduce new disclosures in respect of offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. Those new disclosures are required for all recognised financial instruments that are set off in accordance with HKAS 32, Financial instruments: Presentation and those that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement that covers similar financial instruments and transactions, irrespective of whether the financial instruments are set off in accordance with HKAS 32.

The adoption of the amendments does not have an impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements because the Group has not offset financial instruments, nor has it entered into master netting arrangement or similar agreement which is subject to the disclosures of HKFRS 7 during the periods presented.

3 Turnover

The principal activities of the Group are the extraction and sale of coal products. Turnover represents the sales value of goods supplied to customers, excluding value added taxes, other sales taxes or any trade discounts.

23 Accrual for reclamation costs

The accrual for reclamation costs which has been determined based on management’s best estimates.

The Company’s board of directors believes that the accrued reclamation obligations as at 31 December 2013 are adequate and appropriate. The accrual is necessarily based on estimates and therefore, the ultimate liability may exceed or be less than such estimates.

  • (e) Nature and purpose of reserves (Cont’d)

(ii) Statutory reserves

Pursuant to the relevant PRC regulations for coal mining companies, provision for production maintenance, production safety and other related expenditures are accrued by the Group at fixed rates based on coal production volume (the “maintenance and production funds”). The maintenance and production funds are initially set aside as appropriations of profit attributable to equity shareholders and can be utilised when operating expenses or capital expenditures on production maintenance and safety measures are incurred. The amount of maintenance and production funds utilised for such designated purpose would then be transferred from the statutory reserve back to retained earnings.

(iii) Exchange reserve

Exchange reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations. The reserve is dealt with in accordance with the accounting policy set out in note 1(r).

(iv) Distributability of reserves

The aggregate amount of distributable reserves of the Company as at 31 December 2013 was RMB1,034,411,000 (2012: RMB1,032,977,000).

(f) Capital management

The Group’s primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The Group actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to maintain a balance between the higher shareholder returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries now are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

notes to the ConsolIDateD fInanCIal statements

(Expressed in Renminbi)

25 Financial risk management

The Group’s exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate and currency risks arises in the normal course of its business. The Group’s exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and practices used by the Group to manage these risks are described below:

(a) Credit risk

The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposures to these credit risks are monitored on an ongoing basis.

In respect of trade and other receivables, individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These evaluations focus on the customer’s past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay, and take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates. Normally, the Group does not require collateral from its customers.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer rather than the industry or country in which the customers operate and therefore significant concentrations of credit risk primarily arise when the Group has significant exposure to individual customers. As at 31 December 2013, 17% (2012: 5%) and 38% (2012: 5%) of the total trade and other receivables was due from the Group’s largest customer and the five largest customers.

For the year ended 31 December 2013, the Group did not provide any guarantees to third party which would expose the Group or the Company to credit risk (2012: nil).

Further quantitative disclosures in respect of the Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from trade and other receivables are set out in note 17.

(b) Foreign currency exchange risk

The Company and its subsidiaries are not exposed to significant foreign currency exchange risk as their transactions and balances are substantially denominated in their respective functional currencies.

(c) Interest rate risk

The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from bank loans. Loans issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk and loans issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and the Group does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge its debt obligations. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the balance sheet date would not affect profit or loss.

As at 31 December 2013, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would have increased/decreased the Group’s loss after taxation by approximately RMB4,071,000 (2012: RMB3,870,000).

The sensitivity analysis above has been determined assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the balance sheet date. The 100 basis points increase or decrease represents the management’s assessment of a reasonably possible change in interest rates over the period until the next annual balance sheet date.

(d) Liquidity risk

The Group’s management reviews the liquidity position of the Group on an ongoing basis, including review of the expected cash inflows and outflows, maturity of bank loans in order to monitor the Group’s liquidity requirements in the short and longer terms.

At the balance sheet date, financial obligations of the Group included trade and other payables and bank loans. The following table details the remaining contractual maturities of the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities at the balance sheet date, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computing using contractual rates) and the earliest date the Group can be required to pay:

(d) Environmental contingencies

As at 31 December 2013, the Group has not incurred any significant expenditure for environment remediation and, apart from the accrual for reclamation costs (Note 23), has not accrued any amounts for environmental remediation relating to its operations. Under existing legislation, management believes that there are no probable liabilities that will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or operating results of the Group. Laws and regulations protecting the environment have generally become more stringent in recent years and could become more stringent in the future. Environmental liabilities are subject to considerable uncertainties which affect the Group’s ability to estimate the ultimate cost of remediation efforts. These uncertainties include:

  • (i) the exact nature and extent of the contamination at the mine and coal washing plant;

  • (ii) the extent of required cleanup efforts;

  • (iii) varying costs of alternative remediation strategies;

  • (iv) changes in environmental remediation requirements; and

  • (v) the identification of new remediation sites.

The amount of such future cost is indeterminable due to such factors as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination and the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions that may be required. Accordingly, the outcome of environmental liabilities under proposed for future environmental legislation cannot be reasonably estimated at present but could be material.

28 Significant accounting estimates and judgments

The Group’s financial position and results of operations are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions and estimates that underlie the preparation of these financial statements. The Group bases the assumptions and estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Group believes to be reasonable and which form the basis for making judgements about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates as facts, circumstances and conditions change.

The selection of critical accounting policies, the judgements and other uncertainties affecting application of those policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors to be considered when reviewing the financial statements. The principal accounting policies are set forth in note 1. The Group believes the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgements and estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements.

28 Significant accounting estimates and judgments (Cont’d)

(a) Coal reserves

Engineering estimates of the Group’s coal reserves are inherently imprecise and represent only approximate amounts because of the subjective judgments involved in developing such information. There are authoritative guidelines regarding the engineering criteria that have to be met before estimated coal reserves can be designated as “proved” and “probable”. Proved and probable coal reserve estimates are updated at regular basis and have taken into account recent production and technical information about each mine. In addition, as prices and cost levels change from year to year, the estimate of proved and probable coal reserves also changes. This change is considered a change in estimate for accounting purposes and is reflected on a prospective basis in related depreciation and amortisation rates.

Despite the inherent imprecision in these engineering estimates, these estimates are used in determining depreciation, amortisation and impairment loss. Depreciation and amortisation rates are determined based on estimated proved and probable coal reserve quantity (the denominator) and capitalised costs of mining structures and mining rights (the numerator). The capitalised cost of mining structures and mining rights are depreciated and amortised based on the units of coal produced.

(b) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The management determines the estimated useful lives of and related depreciation charges for its property, plant and equipment. These estimates are based on the actual useful lives of assets of similar industry. It could change significantly as a result of significant technical innovations and competitor actions in response to industry cycles. Management will increase the depreciation charges where useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or will write-off or write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.

(c) Impairment of assets

In considering the impairment losses that may be required for certain of the Group’s assets which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (note 1(i)(ii)), the recoverable amount of the asset needs to be determined. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and the value in use. It is difficult to precisely estimate selling price because quoted market prices for these assets may not be readily available. In determining the value in use, expected cash flows generated by the asset are discounted to their present value, which requires significant judgement relating to items such as level of sale volume, selling price and amount of operating costs. The Group uses all readily available information in determining an amount that is reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of items such as sale volume, selling price and amount of operating costs.

In considering the impairment losses that may be required for trade and other receivables (note 1(i)(i)), future cash flows need to be determined. One of the key assumptions that has to be applied is about the ability of the debtors to settle the receivables. Notwithstanding that the Group has used all available information to make this estimation, inherent uncertainty exists and actual write-offs may be higher than the amount estimated.

(d) Obligations for land reclamation

The estimation of the liabilities for final reclamation and mine closure involves the estimates of the amount and timing for the future cash spending as well as the discount rate used for reflecting current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The Group considers the factors including future production volume and development plan, the geological structure of the mining regions and reserve volume to determine the scope, amount and timing of reclamation and mine closure works to be performed. Determination of the effect of these factors involves judgements from the Group and the estimated liabilities may turn out to be different from the actual expenditure to be incurred. The discount rate used by the Group may also be altered to reflect the changes in the market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability, such as change of the borrowing rate and inflation rate in the market. As changes in estimates occur (such as mine plan revisions, changes in estimated costs, or changes in timing of the performance of reclamation activities), the revisions to the obligation will be recognised at the appropriate discount rate.

29 Immediate and ultimate controlling party

As at 31 December 2013, the directors consider the immediate parent of the Company to be King Lok Holdings Ltd. and the ultimate controlling party of the Company to be Mr. Zhang Liang, Johnson.

30 Possible impact of amendments, new standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the year ended 31 December 2013

Up to the date of issue of these financial statements, the HKICPA has issued a few amendments and a new standard which are not yet effective for the year ended 31 December 2013 and which have not been adopted in these financial statements. These include the following which may be relevant to the Group:

Effective for
accounting periods
beginning on or after
Amendments to HKFRS 10, HKFRS 12 and HKAS 27,Investment entities 1 January 2014
Amendments to HKAS 32,Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities 1 January 2014
Amendments to HKAS 39,Novation of derivatives and 1 January 2014
continuation of hedge accounting
HKFRS 9,Financial instruments 1 January 2015

The Group is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments and new standard is expected to be in the period of initial application. So far it has concluded that the adoption of them is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Group’s results of operations and financial position.

In addition, the requirements of Part 9, “Accounts and Audit”, of the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) come into operation from the Company’s first financial year commencing after 3 March 2014 (i.e. the Company’s financial year which will begin on 1 January 2015) in accordance with section 358 of that Ordinance. The Group is in the process of making an assessment of the expected impact of the changes in the Companies Ordinance on the consolidated financial statements in the period of initial application of Part 9. So far it has concluded that the impact is unlikely to be significant and will primarily only affect the presentation and disclosure of information in the consolidated financial statements.
