2. Others

1) Specifications for significant changes in components or sources of the Group’s profits

In the first half of 2016, affected by the weak global economic recovery and China’s economic structure adjustment, the product sales volume of the Group’s main business such as coal and methanol was decreased, and profits of the main business was decreased as well compared to the first half of 2015. Facing complicated and grim economic situation, the Group adhered the “two-wheel driven” strategy of industrial operations and capital operations, accelerating the financial industry layout and improving profitability level of industries and finance. Through a series of capital operations including equity investment in China Zheshang Bank Co., Ltd. (“Zheshang Bank”), investment in Haichang Industry Co., Ltd. of Dongguan City (“Haichang Industry”) and establishment of funds and insurances, etc., the Group realized investment returns of RMB385.1 million in the first half of 2016, representing an increase of RMB188.4 million or 95.7% as compared with that of the first half of 2015.

This was mainly attribute to that the Group has taken the initiative to reduce sales of low energy efficiency and low quality coal to respond to the side reform of supply by the Chinese government. The Group sold 800 thousand tonnes methanol, which accounts for 53.3% of the planned methanol sales volume for the year 2016.

3) Capital Sources and Use

(II) MAJOR RISKS FACED BY THE COMPANY, IMPACT AND MEASURES

Risks arising from macro-economy

The world economy is still weak in recovery and structural contradiction of domestic market is prominent. Thus the macro-economy’s continuous downturn pressure remains high. The coal market presents recovery as a result of coal production capacity reduction policy formulated by state government. However, the foundation is still unstable, fluctuation risk still exists.

Counter measures: The Group grasps state policy orientation, optimizes and adjusts structures in regions, industries, products and investment to promote transformation from high-carbon industry to low-carbon industry, from traditional industry to new type of traditional industry, to emerging industry with high efficiency and thus adapts new normal in development. The Group sticks to the “Two Engines” strategy and strengthens coordinated development of entity, finance and trade industry, promotes the company to achieve transformation to innovation-driven, quality and profitability and connotative development to unleash innovation and profitability vigor in a maximum way. The Group lays emphasis on taking advantage of the two markets at home and abroad and pluralistic industry and products to enhance mastery and initiative of responding to market fluctuation

Risks arising from safety production

Although the entire management level of safety production is above the industry average, coal mining, coal chemical and power generation, the three main business sectors of the Company are of high hazardous nature and of complex uncertainties caused by production environment, natural disaster, etc.. Safety production is significant to the sustainable and stable development of the Company.

Yanzhou Coal Mining Company Limited  Interim Report 2016      33

CHAPTER 4 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT – CONTINUED

Counter measures: The Group stringently enhances implementation of safety responsibility at all levels, intensifies regulation execution process assessment and supervision on key positions. Strengthens technical management and input in safety to promote systematic safety assurance level. The Group reinforces construction of safety supervision team, devotes great effort to safety supervision inspection and executes safety responsibility accountability system in a strict way; increases comprehensive management and pre-control in key areas and significant hidden dangers, prevents occurrence of significant safety accidents to ensure safety production of the company.

Risks arising from trade business

In recent years, the Group’s trade volume has continuously presented substantial growth. Affected by the market demand change and price fluctuation, trade profitability is relatively low. Moreover, with the unceasing development of diversified trade projects of the Company, business staff are not familiar with the new trade mode and incompetent to catch up with the fast pace of trade work.

Counter measures: The Group focuses on both social recruitment and self training and expedites the construction and cultivation for professional team in terms of trade business, legal affairs and risk control to improve specialized operation capability.

26. FAIR VALUES

The fair value of available-for-sales investment is determined with reference to quoted market price. The fair values of the forward foreign exchange contracts are estimated based on the discounted cash flows between the contract forward rate and spot forward rate. The fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis.

The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortized cost in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.

Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:

The following table presents the carrying value of financial instruments measured at fair value across the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The levels of fair value are defined as follows:

Level 1:	fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2:	fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3:	fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
