Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements<br />

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)<br />

(b)<br />

Basis of preparation of the financial statements (Continued)<br />

The Directors consider that, among all the above-mentioned matters and conditions, the key<br />

determining factor lies with the Notes Restructuring and it is the material uncertainty in the going<br />

concern assumption.<br />

Based on the Group’s business plan and cash flow forecast, and assuming having the ongoing support<br />

from its bankers, lenders, creditors and shareholders, the Director expect to have sufficient financial<br />

resources to cover its operating costs and to meet its financing commitments. The Directors have<br />

identified a number of management initiatives that the business could pursue and which they are<br />

confident these can be achieved to mitigate the liquidity and solvency pressure including:<br />

– The Group had updated the service agreement with the mining contractor by taking decreased<br />

charge rates; such cost saving effect is expected to be revealed during year ending 31 December<br />

2016 and thereafter;<br />

– The Group manages capital expenditure to minimum levels;<br />

– Even the progress is not as rapid as originally envisaged, The Group remains focused on<br />

pursuing the opportunity to engage in coal mining, processing, transportation and exploration<br />

activities at Tavan Tolgoi coal deposit in Mongolia. The ultimate benefit is expected from the<br />

significant improvement of the competitive position of Mongolian coal in international markets<br />

by consolidating commercial operations within the Tavan Tolgoi coalfield under public private<br />

partnership (“PPP”) model;<br />

– The Group is seeking prepayments at reaching new coal off-take agreements, and negotiating<br />

business terms with suppliers to ease cash flow demands.<br />

Given expectation of having ongoing financial support from its bankers, lenders, creditors and<br />

shareholders, the Directors are satisfied that the Group will be able to meet its financial obligations as<br />

and when they fall due for the twelve months from 31 December 2015. Accordingly, the Directors are<br />

of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated financial statements on a going concern<br />

basis. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the<br />

going concern basis of preparation being inappropriate.<br />

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 comprise the Company<br />

and its subsidiaries (together referred to as “the Group”) and the Group’s interest in associates and a<br />

joint venture.<br />
