Such indemnities were in force throughout the financial year and will remain in force at the date of this report.

Principle risks and uncertainties

The principal risks are considered to be the wider global economic environment. These risks are reviewed and managed through the Company's business performance and risk management processes.

The directors, after carrying out necessary enquiries, believe that the Company has adequate sources of funding to meet its future investments and the payment of its expenses and is well placed to manage its business risk successfully.

As a consequence of the above, the directors have reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources and procedures in place to manage its business risks for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company has adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.

The directors are not aware of any events subsequent to the reporting period which requires disclosure in or adjustments to the financial statements.

The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

United Kingdom company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the United Kingdom. Under company law, the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, International Accounting Standard 1 requires that directors:

• properly select and apply accounting policies;

• present information, including accounting policies, in a manner that provides relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable information;

• provide additional disclosures when compliance with the specific requirements in IFRSs are insufficient to enable users to understand the impact of particular transactions, other events and conditions on the entity's financial position and financial performance; and

• make an assessment of the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Cinda International HGB Investment (UK) Limited (the "Company") is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is C/O CSC CLS (Uk) Limited, 5 Churchill Place, 10th Floor, London, United Kingdom, E14 5HU. The company's principal activities and nature of its operations are disclosed in the directors' report.

Cinda International HGB Investment (UK) Limited holds 7.69% of the share capital of Yancoal Australia Limited through the purchase of shares. The principal activity of Yancoal Australia Limited is that of coal production.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted for use in the United Kingdom and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS, except as otherwise stated. Therefore the Company financial statements comply with Article 4 of the EU International Accounting Standards Regulations.

The financial statements are prepared in United States dollars ("$"), which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest dollar.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

The Company has taken advantage of the exemptions available not to prepare a statement of cash flows as it is a wholly owned subsidiary undertaking and the consolidated financial statements in which the Company is included are publicly available.

The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis because there are no materialtrue uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The results, assets and liabilities of an associate are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting.

Under the equity method, the investment in associate is carried in the Statement of Financial Position at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Company’s share of net assets of the associate, less distributions received and less any impairment in value of the investment.

The Company assesses investments in equity-accounted entities for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is compared with its recoverable amount, being the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, the investment is written down to its recoverable amount.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position unless they form part of a cash pooling arrangement where there is an intention to settle on a net basis, in which case they are reported net of related cash balances.

Financial assets are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are classified into specified categories, depending on the nature and purpose of the financial assets.

At initial recognition, financial assets classified as fair value through profit and loss are measured at fair value and any transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets not classified as fair value through profit and loss are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs.

The company recognises financial debt when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial liabilities are classified as either 'financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss' or 'other financial liabilities'.

Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, overdrafts, trade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities, are initially measured at fair value net of transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of the financial liability. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For the purposes of each financial liability, interest expense includes initial transaction costs and any premium payable on redemption, as well as any interest or coupon payable while the liability is outstanding.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire.

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the Statement of Comprehensive Income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax are generally provided in full, using a liability method, on temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that the company will be required to settle that obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Provisions are recognised as the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. No provision is recognised for future operating losses.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligation as a whole. A provision may be recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the date of the statement of financial position are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within administrative expenses.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities ddenominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined.

Capital management

For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued share capital and retained earnings attributable to the Company's shareholder. The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for the shareholder.

The shareholder will invest additional monies into the Company in order to ensure that the Company can meet its ongoing financial obligations. These shall be provided at such times as the Company may require for working capital purposes or for meeting any obligation of the Company. The Company is not subject to any external capital requirements.

Related party transactions

The Company has taken advantage of the disclosure exemptions available not to disclose related party transactions with fellow wholly-owned group undertakings, as these are included in the consolidated financial statements in which the Company is included and are publicly available.

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are outlined below.

The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (which are dealt with separately below), that the Directors have made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in these financial statements.

Determining whether the Company’s investments in associates have been impaired requires estimations of the investments in accordance with IAS 36. No indicators have been noted by the Company. The carrying amount of investments in associate at the Statement of Financial Position date was $434,690,907 (2024: $449,152,997), with no impairment loss recognised in current financial year (2024: $nil).

The Directors consider that there are no key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was nil.

There were no staff costs during the current financial year (2024: $nil).

The Directors remuneration for the current year and prior period was borne by its associate and other fellow companies. No recharge was made to the Company for the services of the Directors in the current year or prior period as it is not possible to make an accurate apportionment of emoluments in respect of services to the Company.

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Interest income on bank deposits previously included within finance costs has been reclassified to Interest income.

The reclassification had no impact on profit for the year or equity.

No corporation tax is due for the current financial year nor for the previous financial period.

Deferred tax liabilities have been recognised for the balance of £1,415,413 in 2025 (2024: £1,415,413) for the carry-forward of unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences as management do not believe that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences.

The income tax expense in the current financial year represents the withholding tax of the dividend received from the investment in Yancoal Australia.

On 19 August 2017, the Company acquired a 16.71% interest in Yancoal Australia Limited for a total consideration of $734,300,037. On 6 Dec 2018, Yancoal Australia Limited was listed in Hong Kong Stock Exchange (Dual Primary Listing). Therefore, Cinda's shareholding was diluted to 15.89%. From 2023 to 2024, the company sold shares continuously above its cost price. On 26 June 2024, Cinda's shareholding was decreased to 7.69%.

The Company’s interest in Yancoal Australia Limited is accounted for as an associate using the equity method in the financial statements, due to the size of the shareholding and significant influence over the business.
