Update on restatement
On November 8, 2013, the Company's board of directors decided to restate the Company's financial statements for 2011 and 2012, and consequently its comparative interim financial statements (the "Interim Statements") for 2013 and the related Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") (collectively, the "Restated Financials"). The selected unaudited restated financial information and information on third quarter 2013 and year to date September 30, 2013 contained in this press release were reviewed by the Company's Audit Committee and Board of Directors and approved on November 10, 2013.
The restatement follows a review by the Company of its prior revenue recognition practices for its coal sales contracts entered into in the fourth quarter of 2010, full year 2011 and in the first half of 2012 and related delivery of coal under those sales contracts during the periods commencing in the fourth quarter of 2010 through to the present. The revenue restatement only affects the contracted coal not collected by the customers at each period end. This review has been conducted in consultation with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC"), the Company's current auditors, and Deloitte LLP ("Deloitte"), the Company's auditors during the 2010 and 2011 fiscal years.
The Company adopted new terms in its sales contracts starting in the second half of 2012 such that title transfers on these new contracts when coal is loaded onto the customer's trucks which results in a later point of revenue recognition for all its sales starting from the second half of 2012.

Following the change in revenue recognition practices, revenues from coal sales contracts are recognized in later periods than previously reported and some revenue remains to be reported in periods after September 30, 2013 as not all contracted coal has been collected by customers. This change results in lower revenues and cost of sales in 2010 and 2011 followed by higher revenues and cost of sales in 2012 and year to date September 30, 2013.
The adjustments to other operating expenses in each applicable period primarily result from the reversal of provisions for doubtful trade and other receivables in those periods.
The impact on the net income/(loss) for the restated periods follows from the restated revenues, net of cost of sales and adjustments to other operating expenses. The net loss for the year 2010 increases, the net income for the year 2011 decreases and the net loss for the year 2012 decreases. The net loss for the six month period ending June 30, 2013 is also lower than previously reported.
During the periods from 2010 to September 30, 2013, trade and other receivables have been adjusted lower and deferred revenue recognized to reflect revenue being recorded in later periods than previously reported. The inventory balance increased over the same period to reflect higher coal inventory stockpile balances. Prepaid expenses also increased, with a corresponding decrease in trade and other payables, as coal sales royalty expenses were recognized in later periods than previously reported.
Effects of the restatements on previously filed Statements of Cash Flows
The restatements do not result in a change in cash at the end of any period. The statement of cash flows as reported does not change except for the reclassification of various items within operating activities. Financing activities, investing activities, change in cash, cash at beginning of period and cash at the end of period remain unchanged from previously filed financial statements.
Timeline going forward
The Company expects that it will be in a position to complete on or before November 14, 2013 the filing of its Interim Statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and the related MD&A and certifications by the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") (collectively, the "Required Filings") in compliance with National Instrument 51-102 ("NI 51-102") of the Canadian Securities Administrators.
The Company is working expeditiously with PwC and Deloitte in order to file the full set of audited restated consolidated financial statements and MD&A as at and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 comprising the Restated Financials. The Restated Financials are expected to be available on or before December 13, 2013.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required, the Company will be applying to the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "Principal Regulator") pursuant to Part 4 of National Policy 12-203 ("NP 12-203") for a Management Cease Trade Order ("MCTO") in connection with any late filing of the Required Filings and the Restated Financials. If issued, the MCTO will prohibit trading in securities of the Company, whether direct or indirect, by the Company's CEO, CFO and board of directors or other persons or companies who had, or may have had, access directly or indirectly to any material fact or material change with respect to the Company that has not been generally disclosed. There can be no assurance that an MCTO will be issued.
If an MCTO is not issued, the Principal Regulator can impose a general cease trade order ceasing all trading in securities of the Company for such period of time as the Principal Regulator may deem appropriate.
While the Company expects to file the Required Filings on or before November 14, 2013 in compliance with NI 51-102 and the Restated Financials as soon as possible, any delay in filing the Required Filings, or the Restated Financials, could ultimately result in an event of default of the Company's convertible debenture held by China Investment Corporation ("CIC"), which if not cured within applicable cure periods in accordance with the terms of such debenture, may result in the principal amount owing and all accrued and unpaid interest becoming immediately due and payable upon notice to the Company by CIC.
