NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 30 June 2019
-
GENERAL INFORMATION
China Daye Non-Ferrous Metals Mining Limited (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the "Group") was incorporated in Bermuda as an exempted company with limited liability and its shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Hong Kong Stock Exchange").
The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The Company's subsidiaries are principally involved in mining and processing of mineral ores and selling/trading of metal products. In the opinion of the directors of the Company (the "Directors"), the ultimate holding company of the Company is China Nonferrous Metal Mining (Group) Co., Ltd., a state-owned enterprise established in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC").
The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi ("RMB"), which is also the functional currency of the Company. - BASIS OF PREPARATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2019 have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ("HKAS 34") Interim Financial Reporting issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA") as well as with the applicable disclosure requirements of Appendix 16 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018. - PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value, as appropriate.
Other than changes in accounting policies resulting from application of new and amendments to Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs"), the accounting policies and methods of computation used in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2019 are the same as those presented in the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.
Application of new and amendments to HKFRSs
In the current interim period, the Group has applied, for the first time, the following new and amendments to HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA which are mandatory effective for the annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2019 for the preparation of the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements:
HKFRS 16 HK(IFRIC)-Int 23 Amendments to HKFRS 9 Amendments to HKAS 19 Amendments to HKAS 28 Amendments to HKFRSs
Leases
Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2015-2017 Cycle
Except for the application of HKFRS 16, the application of other new and amendments to HKFRSs in the current period has had no material impact on the Group's financial performance and positions for the current and prior periods and/or on the disclosures set out in these condensed consolidated financial statements.
5
Impacts and changes in accounting policies of application of HKFRS 16 Leases
The Group has applied HKFRS 16 for the first time in the current interim period. HKFRS 16 superseded HKAS 17 Leases , and the related interpretations.
The Group applied the accounting policies in accordance with the transition provisions of HKFRS 16 from 1 January 2019. Under HKFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Group has elected the practical expedient to apply HKFRS 16 to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying HKAS 17 and HK(IFRIC)-Int 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease and not apply this standard to contracts that were not previously identified as containing a lease. Therefore, the Group has not reassessed contracts which already existed prior to the date of initial application.
For contracts entered into or modified on or after 1 January 2019, the Group applies the definition of a lease in accordance with the requirements set out in HKFRS 16 in assessing whether a contract contains a lease.
As a lessee, the Group has applied HKFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognised at the date of initial application, 1 January 2019, and comparative information has not been restated.
Except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets, the Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. At the commencement date of a lease, the Group recognises and measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are unpaid at that date, and subsequently adjusted for the interest and lease payments, as well as the impact of lease modification, amongst others. When applying the modified retrospective approach under HKFRS 16 at transition, the Group applied the certain practical expedients to leases previously classified as operating leases under HKAS 17, on lease-by-lease basis, to the extent relevant to the respective lease contracts.
On transition, other than the reclassification of prepaid lease payments to right-of-use assets of RMB698,375,000, the Group recognised lease liabilities of RMB151,350,000 and right-of-use assets of RMB151,350,000 at 1 January 2019 upon application of HKFRS 16. The additional right-of-use assets were recognised at amounts equal to the related lease liabilities by applying HKFRS 16 C8(b)(ii) transition.
When recognising the lease liabilities for leases previously classified as operating leases, the Group has applied the weighted average incremental borrowing rate of 4.9% at the date of initial application.
At 30 June 2019, the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets amounted to RMB143,357,000 and RMB835,316,000, respectively, while depreciation associated with the right-of-use assets and finance costs associated with lease liabilities amounting RMB14,409,000 and RMB3,708,000, respectively, were recognised during the current interim period.

Improvement of technical and economic indices
The ore grade, mining loss rate, dilution rate and recovery rate of copper concentrator, as well as the smelting recovery rate of copper, gold and silver and the direct recovery rate of gold and silver of the Group had continuously improved.
Orderly progression of mines replacement
Explorations of the III and IV ore bodies of Tonglvshan Mine, the southern edge of Fengshan Mine and the middle portion of Tongshankou Mine have generally met the time schedule requirements. Progressions in the integrated utilisation of tailings pond and the development and utilisation of non-metal resources of Tongshankou Mine had also been accelerated.
Further expansion into the circular economy industry
Exerting the synergy effect of the smelting systems, the Group stepped up its efforts in handling used scrap printed circuit boards. With the storing-sorting-treating process further enhanced in the first half of the year, the Group handled 1,000 tonnes of used circuit boards.
18
Outlook
In the second half of 2019, the Group will focus on the main subject of "enhancing production, improving indices, reducing costs and expanding market" with pragmatic and cautious attitude in a continuous and proactive effort to align with the market mechanism.
As to the mines, the Group will ensure that each mine is at full production capacity and achieve their annual production volume targets. Tonglvshan Mine will focus on the production volume and grades of ore supply, especially dedicated to promoting highly efficient mining method, ore prospecting at margin areas and recovering remnant ores. Fengshan Mine will revolve around its annual targets, organise the drillings of high-grade pits and mining and filling of medium deep borehole through scientific method, and speed up the progress of the exploration and cutting engineering work of the northern edge and western area, so as to ensure the balance of ore supply in the southern and northern edges. Tongshankou Mine will maintain the balance of mining and stripping of open-pit platforms to achieve stable ore supply capability. Sareke Copper Mine will improve the technology standards of mining and processing technologies, and continuously strengthen underground mining methods and optimise filling methods, so as to ensure the balance and stability of production on a continuous basis.
With respect to smelting, the Group will focus on its annual production volume targets, reasonably organise its production and ensure stable operation of the system. The maintenance and repair of equipment will be strengthened to increase the utilisation rate of running the Ausmelt furnace system to ensure that the rate is above 95% stably.
Financial Review
The Group's revenue increased by 6.26% to RMB17,377.4 million during the period over the same period last year of RMB16,354.0 million. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in the sales of other copper products, gold and other gold products, and silver and other silver products.
Gross profit for the six months ended 30 June 2019 amounted to RMB442.3 million (six months ended 30 June 2018: RMB349.7 million), representing an increase of 26.5% from the previous period. The increase was mainly due to the increase in sales volume for the six months ended 30 June 2019.
Finance costs for the six months ended 30 June 2019 amounted to RMB255.3 million (six months ended 30 June 2018: RMB200.7 million), representing an increase of 27.2% from the previous period. The increase was mainly due to the increase in interest on bank and other borrowings.

Capital Structure, Liquidity and Financial Resources
As at 30 June 2019, the Group had restricted and pledged bank deposits, and cash and bank balances of RMB2,006.8 million (31 December 2018: RMB928.3 million), of which the majority were denominated in Renminbi ("RMB"), with a current ratio of 1.02 (31 December 2018: 1.03), based on the current assets of RMB8,282.5 million (31 December 2018: RMB8,364.7 million) and current liabilities of RMB8,121.0 million (31 December 2018: RMB8,083.4 million). The Group's gearing ratio was 404.3% (31 December 2018: 449.4%) based on the net debts (which includes bank and other borrowings and promissory note less restricted and pledged bank deposits, and cash and bank balances) of RMB9,050.7 million (31 December 2018: RMB10,055.8 million) divided by equity attributable to owners of the Company of RMB2,238.7 million (31 December 2018: RMB2,237.5 million). The decrease in gearing ratio was mainly due to the increase in cash and bank balances compared with the same period last year.
As at 30 June 2019, the Group had bank and other borrowings of RMB5,557.8 million (31 December 2018: RMB5,178.2 million) and RMB4,510.1 million (31 December 2018: RMB4,837.2 million) which will be due within one year and after one year respectively.

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognised assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entities' functional currency. The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily with respect to US$.
The Group manages its foreign exchange risk by performing regular reviews of the Group's net foreign exchange exposures and may enter into derivative financial instruments, when necessary, to manage its foreign exchange exposure. During the period, certain currency forward contracts, currency exchange swap contracts and currency option contracts had been entered into by the Group.
