Management Discussion and Analysis<br />

As of 31 December 2015, USD6.1 million inventory provision was booked due to continuous weakening prices of<br />

coal products. The provision was made based on the assessment of the net realizable value of coal inventories.<br />

In accordance with the Group’s policy to conserve cash outflow during the current state of the market when ASP<br />

is trending lower, it made tactical sense for the Group to temporarily suspend operations at certain times during<br />

the period under review for conservation and efficiency purposes. In relation to this, idling costs arose during<br />

such periods when production was held at a limited level, which incurred associated costs of USD52.9 million,<br />

including depreciation and amortisation of USD18.5 million.<br />
