2 KINETIC MINES AND ENERGY LIMITED Interim Report 2012

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

On behalf of the board of directors (the “Board”) of Kinetic Mines and Energy Limited, I am pleased to present the interim results of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the six months ended 30 June 2012.

In the first half of 2012, the Group made good progress in improving its integrated coal operations. The construction of the major facilities in the Dafanpu Coal Mine of the Group was completed, and the mine was under trial production, the stage before the commencement of commercial production. However, as there were lags in the construction of certain facilities in the Dafanpu Coal Mine and some machinery and equipment were subject to further adjustment and testing, the schedule of commencing commercial production at the Dafanpu Coal Mine was delayed. The operation team and staff of the Group are actively communicating and cooperating with the relevant contractors, machinery and equipment manufacturers and relevant government authorities, striving to complete trial production as soon as possible and commence commercial production.

During this period, construction of Xiaojia Station, in which the Group held 45% interest, was substantially completed. Through the Nanping Rail Line and its associated rail spur lines, Xiaojia Station connects to the Datong-Qinhuangdao Rail Line, which is known as the “lifeline of energy in China”, and transports self-produced coal or coal products procured from third parties to Qinhuangdao for coal trading. Qinhuangdao is the world’s largest transshipment port as well as one of the reference areas which sets the benchmark price for China’s coal market. The Group has successfully set up a coal trade centre in Qinhuangdao and obtained the relevant coal sales and trade permits. In this way, the Group can source coal from other coal mine operators and resell to customers through its supply chain, so as to meet the demand for coal products of different customers in different environments. Meanwhile, direct involvement in the coal trading operation in Qinhuangdao allows us to stay up-to-date with regard to pricing, market, transportation, demand, technology, safety and management trends, thereby consolidating our position in the coal industry.

In addition, the Group proactively promotes the development of the coal industry. As one of the few private company members of the China Coal Transportation and Distribution Association, we participate in annual government mandated meetings on the PRC coal market and share with other players the latest industry information to promote growth in the industry.

China is both the world’s largest thermal coal producer and consumer. Robust industrial development and rapid urbanisation in China have boosted the demand for energy. Although the price of thermal coal in China fluctuated and the inventories in major coal ports such as Qinhuangdao continued to increase during the first half of 2012, power plants will be able to clear stock effectively when the peak season of power consumption in winter arrives. Demand for thermal coal is expected to rise steadily in the second half of the year, stabilising the price accordingly. Coal is a strategic resources to ensure the energy and power supply in China and therefore the Group is confident in the longterm development of coal industry.

In March 2012, the National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC formulated the “12th Five Year” Plan on the Development of Coal Industry , which emphasised accelerating the merging and restructuring of coal companies, eliminating outdated production capacity, establishing large coal groups, enhancing industry concentration, developing and utilising coal resources gradually as well as effectively protecting the ecological environment of mining areas. These measures are favourable to the development of large coal mines. The Group hopes to seize the opportunities by properly increasing coal resources, in turn solidifying the Group’s position in the coal market of China. In view of this, a purchase option agreement was entered into between the Group and myself in March 2012, pursuant to which the Group would have the option to purchase Guizhou Yangmei Longtai Coal Mine, which is held by me indirectly as to 85%. In addition, the Group will continue to identify quality coal investment projects with the increase of coal resources and coal reserves as the core strategy of the Group, in the expectation that the integration of such with the Group’s business will achieve synergies and economies of scale.

KINETIC MINES AND ENERGY LIMITED Interim Report 2012 3

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on constructing and developing the Dafanpu Coal Mine, striving to become a leading privately-owned integrated coal provider in China with mining, processing and trading capabilities. We will also take the initiative to identify new acquisition targets and acquire coal reserves, in order to exploit the enormous development potentials in China’s growing energy market and deliver rewards to our shareholders.

Finally, on behalf of the Board, I would like to express my gratitude to all our shareholders and partners for their continuous support to the Group, and to all our employees for their hard work. With the Group’s unique competitive advantages, a clear development strategy and an experienced team, the Group remains dedicated to creating a brighter future.

MANAGEMENT DISCuSSION AND ANALYSIS

The board of directors of (the “Board”) of Kinetic Mines and Energy Limited (the “Company”) herewith announces the unaudited condensed consolidated results of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the six months ended 30 June 2012. This interim financial report has been reviewed by the Company’s audit committee and the Company’s auditor, KPMG, 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.

business Review and Results Analysis

The Group has been focusing on becoming an integrated coal provider. During the six months ended 30 June 2012, the Dafanpu Coal Mine in Zhunge’er Banner, Erdos City, Inner Mongolia (the “Dafanpu Coal Mine”) owned by the Group was under trial production. The Dafanpu Coal Mine has moderate to thick coal seams and is rich in coal resources. As of November 2010, Dafanpu Coal Mine had Joint Ore Reserves Committee (“JORC”) compliant coal resources of approximately 449.9 million tonnes, comprising 145.6 million tonnes of measured coal resources, 247.7 million tonnes of indicated coal resources and 56.6 million tonnes of inferred coal resources.

Notwithstanding the Group’s persistent efforts in the timely execution of its trial production plan, there were unexpected lags in the construction of certain facilities in the Dafanpu Coal Mine due to various reasons, and some machinery and equipment were subject to further adjustment and testing. As a result, trial production of the Dafanpu Coal Mine was delayed, affecting the schedule and plan of trial production and commercial production. The Group has actively communicated and cooperated with each contractor, machinery and equipment manufacturer, mining team and relevant government authorities to resolve the delays encountered during trial production in order to complete trial production as soon as possible and commence commercial production.

As at 30 June 2012, construction of the loading station “Xiaojia Station”, of which the Group held 45% interest therein, was substantially completed, except for the construction of certain relatively minor structures. On completion and commencement of normal operations, Xiaojia Station will have a coal loading capacity of 15.0 million tonnes per year. With Xiaojia Station and its associated rail spur lines, the Group will have rail capacity to transport coal products from Xiaojia Station along the Nanping Rail Line to Qinhuangdao in Hebei, China’s largest transshipment port as well as the reference area which sets the benchmark price for China’s coal market. In addition, the Group has set up a coal trade centre in Qinhuangdao and obtained the relevant coal sales and trade permits. In this way, the Group can source coal from other coal mine operators and resell to customers through its integrated supply chain, so as to meet the demand for coal products of different customers in different environments.

Further, in order to lay a solid foundation for the future development of the Dafanpu Coal Mine, the Group has engaged the Coal Mine Research and Design Institute of Inner Mongolia (內蒙古煤炭研究設計院) to formulate a detailed research and design plan on the mining of the No.6 coal seam of Dafanpu Coal Mine, where the richest coal resources are to be found.

MANAGEMENT DISCuSSION AND ANALYSIS

business Review and Results Analysis (Cont’d)

Loss of the Group for the six months period ended 30 June 2012 amounted to approximately RMB70.2 million (six months ended 30 June 2011: RMB16.2 million). The increase in losses was mainly attributable to: (1) Dafanpu Coal Mine being in the construction stage during the six months period ended 30 June 2011 — as Dafanpu Coal Mine commenced trial production and business expansion in January 2012, staff costs and consultation costs increased accordingly; (2) the increase in finance costs of the Group for the six months period ended 30 June 2012 compared to the finance costs incurred during the corresponding period last year, which was mainly attributable to a new interest-bearing short-term bank loan of approximately HK$740.1 million (equivalent to RMB600 million). The loan was used to repay the amounts due to related parties, which were interest-free, prior to the Company’s listing in March 2012; and the decrease in interest expenses eligible for capitalisation as construction in progress during the six months period ended 30 June 2012 as the construction of most facilities in Dafanpu Coal Mine was completed in December 2011; and (3) administrative expenses, including the non-recurring listing expenses of approximately RMB16.0 million.

Prospects

While continuing to focus on the trial production and commercial production plans of Dafanpu Coal Mine project as well as the coal trade centre business in Qinhuangdao, the Group believes that it can gain a more dominant position in the coal market if it takes control of more coal resources. Accordingly, the Group entered into a purchase option agreement with Mr. Zhang Li and Zhunge’er Banner Fuliang Coal Mining Limited (准格爾旗富量礦業有限公司) on 9 March 2012, pursuant to which the Group has a right to acquire 85% of the equity interest in Guizhou Fuliang Mining Limited (貴州富量礦業有限公司) which is in the process of obtaining mining rights to the Yangmei Longtai Coal Mine through its wholly-owned subsidiary Guizhou Yangmei Longtai Coal Limited (貴州楊梅龍泰煤業有限責任公司). In addition, the Group will continue to identify quality coal investment projects, with the increase in coal resources and coal reserves as the Group’s core strategy, in the expectation that the integration of these with the Group’s business will achieve synergies and economies of scale.

FINANCIAL REvIEW

Turnover

For the six months ended 30 June 2012, the Group recorded turnover of RMB1,024,000 as it commenced sales of coal products from the end of June 2012. Compared to the six months ended 30 June 2011, the Group did not have any turnover as it was in the development stage and had not begun trial production during the six months ended 30 June 2011.

Cost of Sales

For the six months ended 30 June 2012, the Group incurred cost of sales of RMB715,000. Cost of sales mainly comprises salaries of coal mine workers, supplementary materials, fuel and electricity, depreciation, amortisation and surcharges of mining operations. The Group did not have any cost of sales for the six months ended 30 June 2011 as it did not have any turnover during the same period.

Other Revenue

Other revenue of the Group increased from RMB3,464,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2011 to RMB6,019,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2012.

For the six months ended 30 June 2012, the Group’s other revenue mainly comprises exchange gains from conversion of funds.

For the six months ended 30 June 2011, the Group’s other revenue was primarily from sales, net of taxes, of coal produced from the excavation of shafts and tunnels during the construction of the Group’s production facilities.

Selling Expenses

For the six months ended 30 June 2012, the Group incurred selling expenses of RMB200,000. The Group did not have selling expenses for the six months ended 30 June 2011 as it did not have any turnover and sales activities during the same period.

Administrative Expenses

The Group’s administrative expenses increased from RMB14,850,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2011 to RMB65,730,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2012.

The increase in administrative expenses was mainly due to the professional service fees incurred in connection with the Company’s listing on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) which amounted to RMB15,957,000 (six months ended 30 June 2011: RMB350,000). Moreover, since the commencement of the trial production of the Group, the Group’s staff costs and consultation costs also increased from RMB7,216,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2011 to RMB36,201,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2012.

Finance Costs

Finance costs increased from RMB9,602,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2011 to RMB20,262,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2012. The increase was mainly attributable to increase in the amount of interest-bearing bank loans as the Group repaid all the amounts due to related parties, which were interest-free, prior to the Company’s listing on the Stock Exchange in March 2012. Moreover, as most of the Group’s infrastructure at the Dafanpu Coal Mine was substantially completed in December 2011, the interest expenses which could be capitalised as construction in progress decreased from RMB23,390,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2011 to RMB18,262,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2012.

Income Tax

The Group did not have any income tax expenses for the six-month periods ended 30 June 2012 and 2011 as the Group did not generate any taxable profits during these two periods. However, the Group recorded tax credit of RMB9,750,000 and RMB4,768,000 for the six-month periods ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, respectively, primarily due to the recognition of deferred income tax assets from tax losses.

Total Comprehensive Loss

As a result of the foregoing, the Group’s total comprehensive loss was RMB69,359,000 and RMB11,736,000 for the six-month periods ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, respectively.

For the six months ended 30 June 2012, the Group’s cash at bank and in hand was mainly used in the development of the Group’s Dafanpu Coal Mine, to service the Group’s indebtedness and to fund the Group’s working capital. After the Company’s listing on the Stock Exchange in March 2012, the Group financed its funding requirements mainly through a combination of proceeds from initial public offering, interest-bearing bank loans and cash generated from operating activities. The Group’s gearing ratio decreased from 84% as at 31 December 2011 to 36% as at 30 June 2012. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash at bank and in hand. Total capital is calculated as equity plus net debt.

Charge on Assets

As at 30 June 2012, the Group’s mining rights with a carrying amount of RMB719,873,000 was pledged to a bank for the relevant banking facilities granted to the Group.

(b) Foreign currency risk

The Company and its subsidiaries are not exposed to significant foreign currency risk as their transactions and balances are principally denominated in their respective functional currencies. As the foreign currency risk is not significant, the Group did not enter into any financial instruments to hedge against foreign currency risk for the six months ended 30 June 2012.

Human Resources and Emolument Policy

As at 30 June 2012, the Group employed a total of approximately 300 full-time employees in the PRC and Hong Kong. For the six months ended 30 June 2012, the total staff costs, including the directors’ emoluments, amounted to RMB32,819,000.

The Group’s emolument policies are formulated based on the performance and experience of individual employee and in line with the salary trends in the PRC and Hong Kong. Other employee benefits include performance-related bonuses, insurance and medical coverage and share options.

As at 30 June 2012, the Group’s Dafanpu Coal Mine was still at the trial production stage and had not commenced commercial production. During the six months ended 30 June 2012, the Group did not conduct any exploration activities and the majority of the Group’s capital expenditures were related to the development of the Dafanpu Coal Mine.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

(Expressed in Renminbi)

1 bASIS OF PRESENTATION

Kinetic Mines and Energy Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 27 July 2010, as an exempted company with limited liability under the Company Law, Chapter 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands. The Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) are principally engaged in the extraction and sales of coal products. Pursuant to the completion of reorganisation of the Group on 20 July 2011 (the “Reorganisation”), the Company became the holding company of its subsidiaries now comprising the Group, in preparation for the listing of the Company’s shares on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”). The shares of the Company have been listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange since 23 March 2012. Details of the Reorganisation are set out in the Company’s prospectus dated 13 March 2012.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared as if the current group structure had been in existence since the beginning of the earliest period reported, or since the respective dates of incorporation or establishment of the group companies, rather than from the date when the Company became the holding company of the Group pursuant to the Reorganisation.

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 (“Listing Rules”), including compliance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“HKAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”). It was authorised for issue on 28 August 2012.

The interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the 2011 annual financial statements, except for the accounting policy changes that are expected to be reflected in the 2012 annual financial statements. Details of these changes in accounting policies are set out in note 3.

The preparation of interim financial report in conformity with HKAS 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 2011 annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereon do not include all of the information required for a full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”).

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 performed by the independent auditor of the entity, issued by the HKICPA. KPMG’s independent review report to the Board of Directors is included on page 11.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

(Expressed in Renminbi)

2 bASIS OF PREPARATION (Cont’d)

The financial information relating to the financial year ended 31 December 2011 that is included in the interim financial report as being previously reported information does not constitute the Company’s statutory financial statements for that financial year but is derived from those financial statements. The auditors have expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in their report dated 30 March 2012.

The comparatives of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated cash flow statement in respect of the six months ended 30 June 2011 and the related notes disclosed in this interim financial report were derived from the Group’s management accounts for the six months ended 30 June 2011 which have not been audited nor reviewed.

As at 30 June 2012, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by RMB159,445,000 which indicated the existence of an uncertainty which may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. As at 24 August 2012, being the latest practicable date for the purpose of ascertaining certain information contained in this interim financial report, the Group had undrawn banking facilities totalling RMB260,000,000. The Directors have evaluated all the relevant facts available to them 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 interim financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis.

3 CHANGES IN ACCOuNTING POLICIES

The HKICPA has issued a number of amendments to HKFRSs that are first effective for the current accounting period of the Group and the Company. None of the amendments are relevant to the Group’s current financial statements and the Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.

4 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 period.

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

The calculation of basic loss per share for the six months ended 30 June 2011 is based on the total comprehensive loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company of RMB11,736,000 and 7,500,000,000 shares of the Company in issue as at 31 December 2011 as if the shares were outstanding throughout the period.
