statements at a value of £2.6 million.
The Group's objectives when managing capital are:
- To safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, so that
it may provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders;
and
- To provide adequate returns to shareholders by ensuring returns are
commensurate with the risk.

There is no material difference in respect of other financial liabilities or
any financial assets.
The fair values were calculated by the directors as at 31 December 2015 and
reflect the replacement value of the financial instruments used to manage the
Group's exposure to adverse rate movements.
The fair values of the debentures are based on the net present value at the
relevant gilt interest rate of the future payments of interest on the
debentures. The bank loans and overdrafts are at variable rates and there is no
material difference between book values and fair values.
Investments held for trading and available for sale fall under level 1 of the
fair value hierarchy into which fair value measurements are recognised in
accordance with the levels set out in IFRS 7. Other investments are held at
cost. The directors are of the opinion that the difference in value between
cost and fair value of other investments is not significant or material. The
comparative figures for 2014 fall under the same category of financial
instrument as 2015.
Treasury policy
The Group enters into derivative transactions such as interest rate swaps and
forward exchange contracts in order to help manage the financial risks arising
from the Group's activities. The main risks arising from the Group's financing
structure are interest rate risk, liquidity risk and market price risk, credit
risk, commodity price risk and foreign exchange risk. The policies for managing
each of these risks and the principal effects of these policies on the results
are summarised below.
Sensitivity analysis
As all variable interest term debt has been covered by derivatives it is not
considered that there is any material sensitivity for the Group to changes in
interest rates.
Interest rate risk
Treasury activities take place under procedures and policies approved and
monitored by the Board to minimise the financial risk faced by the Group. The £
34.897 million bank loan and Bisichi United Kingdom bank loans and overdraft
are secured by way of a first charge on certain fixed assets. The rates of
interest vary based on LIBOR in the UK.
The £10.105 million term bank loan is secured by way of a second charge on
certain fixed assets. This loan is based on a fixed interest rate.
The Bisichi South African bank loans are secured by way of a first charge over
specific pieces of mining equipment, inventory and the debtors of the relevant
company which holds the loan. The rates of interest vary based on PRIME in
South Africa.
The £1.25 million bank loan (Dragon) is secured by way of a first charge on
specific freehold property. The rate of interest varies based on LIBOR in the
UK.
Liquidity risk
The Group's policy is to minimise refinancing risk by balancing its exposure to
interest risk and to refinancing risk. In effect the Group seeks to borrow for
as long as possible at the lowest acceptable cost. Efficient treasury
management and strict credit control minimise the costs and risks associated
with this policy which ensures that funds are available to meet commitments as
they fall due. Cash and cash equivalents earn interest at rates based on LIBOR
in the UK. These facilities are considered adequate to meet the Group's
anticipated cash flow requirements for the foreseeable future.
In South Africa, an increase in the structured trade facility from R60 million
(South African Rand) to R80 million was signed by Black Wattle Colliery (Pty)
Limited with Absa Bank Limited, a South African subsidiary of Barclays Bank
PLC. The facility is renewable annually at 30 June and is secured against
inventory, debtors and cash that are held by Black Wattle Colliery (Pty)
Limited.
The table below analyses the Group's financial liabilities into maturity
Groupings and also provides details of the liabilities that bear interest at
fixed, floating and non-interest bearing rates.

The Group would normally expect that sufficient cash is generated in the
operating cycle to meet the contractual cash flows as disclosed above through
effective cash management.
*Certain bank loans are fully hedged with appropriate interest derivatives.
Details of all hedges are shown below.
23. Financial instruments continued
Market price risk
The Group is exposed to market price risk through interest rate and currency
fluctuations.
Credit risk
At the balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit
risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount
of each financial asset in the balance sheet. The Group only deposits surplus
cash with well-established financial institutions of high quality credit
standing.
Commodity price risk
Commodity price risk is the risk that the Group's future earnings will be
impacted adversely by changes in the market of commodities. Bisichi is exposed
to commodity price risk as its future revenues will be derived based on a
contract with a physical off-take partner at prices that will be determined by
reference to market prices of coal at the delivery date.
From time to time Bisichi may manage its exposure to commodity price risk by
entering into forward sales contracts with the goal of preserving future
revenue streams.
Foreign exchange risk
Only Bisichi is subject to this risk. For Bisichi all trading is undertaken in
the local currencies. Funding is also in local currencies other than
inter-company investments and loans and it is not the Group's policy to obtain
forward contracts to mitigate foreign exchange risk on these amounts. During
2015 and 2014 the Group did not hedge its exposure of foreign investments held
in foreign currencies.
The table below shows the Bisichi currency profiles of cash and cash
equivalents:
2015 2014
£'000 £'000
Sterling 1,135 1,697
South African Rand 470 1,138
US Dollar 3 3
1,608 2,838
Cash and cash equivalents earn interest at rates based on LIBOR in Sterling and
Prime in Rand.
The tables below shows the Bisichi currency profiles of net monetary assets and
liabilities by functional currency:
2015: UK South
£'000 Africa

The directors consider there to be no significant risk from exchange rate
movements of foreign currencies against the functional currencies of the
reporting companies within the Group. As such no sensitivity analysis is
prepared.
Borrowing facilities
At 31 December 2015 the Group was within its bank borrowing facilities and was
not in breach of any of the covenants. Term loan repayments are as set out
below. Details of other financial liabilities are shown in Notes 20 and 21.
Interest rate and hedge profile

and debentures
Average period for which borrowing rate is fixed 4.8 years 5.5 years
Average period for which borrowing rate is swapped 3.5 years 4.5 years
The Group's floating rate debt bears interest based on LIBOR for the term bank
loans and bank base rate for the overdraft.
At 31 December 2015 the Group had hedges totalling £35 million to cover the £
34.9 million bank loan. These consisted of a 5 year swap for £17.5 million,
taken out in July 2014 at 2.25% and a £17.5 million cap agreement taken out in
July 2014 at 2.25% until 29 January 2016 and a swaption at 2.25% on the capped
portion from 29 January 2016 to 1 July 2019. Since the year end the swaption
was not exercised and was replaced in January 2016 with a £17.4 million cap
agreement to 1 July 2019.
Under IFRS 13 the hedges are not deemed to be eligible for hedge accounting and
any movement in the value of the hedges is therefore charged directly to the
consolidated income statement.
At the year end the fair value liability in the accounts was £587,000 (2014: £
656,000) as valued by the hedge provider.
At 31 December 2015, Dragon had hedges of £1.25 million to cover the £1.25
million bank loan. This consists of a 5 year £1.25 million cap agreement taken
out in November 2015 at 2.5%. At the year end, the fair value asset in the
accounts was £15,000, as valued by the hedge provider.
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value estimation
The Group has adopted the amendment to IFRS 7 for financial instruments that
are measured in the balance sheet at fair value. This requires the methods of
fair value measurement to be classified into a hierarchy based on the
reliability of the information used to determine the valuation, as follows:
- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities (level 1).
- Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices)
or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market
data (that is unobservable inputs) (level 3).

Capital structure
The Group sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. It ensures that the
capital structure is commensurate to the economic conditions and risk
characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the
capital structure, the Group may vary the amount of dividends paid to
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets
to reduce debt.
The Group considers its capital to include share capital, share premium,
capital redemption reserve, translation reserve and retained earnings, but
excluding the interest rate derivatives.
Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors its capital by its
debt to equity ratio (gearing levels). This is calculated as the net debt
(loans less cash and cash equivalents) as a percentage of the equity calculated
as follows:
2015 2014
£'000 £'000
Total debt 67,218 69,066
Less cash and cash equivalents (4,809) (9,237)
Net debt 62,409 59,829
Total equity 49,652 53,598
125.7% 111.6%
The Group does not have any externally imposed capital requirements.
Financial assets
The Group's principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and
other receivables and investments. The Group has no significant concentration
of credit risk as exposure is spread over a large number of counterparties and
customers. The credit risk in liquid funds and derivative financial instruments
is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings
assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The Group's credit risk is
primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the
balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables, estimated by the
Group's management based on prior experience and the current economic
environment.
Financial assets maturity
Cash and cash equivalents all have a maturity of less than three months.
2015 2014
£'000 £'000
Cash at bank and in hand 4,809 9,237
These funds are primarily invested in short term bank deposits maturing within

Share Option Schemes
Employees' share option scheme (Approved scheme)
At 31 December 2015 there were no options to subscribe for ordinary shares
outstanding, issued under the terms of the Employees' Share Option Scheme.
This share option scheme was approved by members in 1986, and has been approved
by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
There are no performance criteria for the exercise of options under the
Approved scheme, as this was set up before such requirements were considered to
be necessary.
A summary of the shares allocated and options issued under the scheme up to 31
December 2015 is as follows:

Non-approved Executive Share Option Scheme (Unapproved scheme)
A share option scheme known as the "Non-approved Executive Share Option Scheme"
which does not have HMRC approval was set up during 2000. At 31 December 2015
there were no options to subscribe for ordinary shares outstanding.
The exercise of options under the Unapproved scheme is subject to the
satisfaction of objective performance conditions specified by the remuneration
committee which confirms to institutional shareholder guidelines and best
practice provisions.

The exercise of options under the Unapproved Share Option Schemes, for certain
option issues, is subject to the satisfaction of objective performance
conditions specified by the remuneration committee, which will confirm to
institutional shareholder guidelines and best practice provisions in force from
time to time. The performance conditions for the 2010 scheme, agreed by members
on 31 August 2010 respectively, requires growth in net assets over a three year
period to exceed the growth of the retail prices index by a scale of
percentages. There are no performance or service conditions attached to the
other schemes.
The 2015 options were valued at £118,000 at date of grant using the
Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions:
Expected volatility 36.30%
Expected life 4 years
Risk free rate 0.994%
Expected dividends 4.47%
Expected volatility was determined by reference to the historical volatility of
the share price over a period commensurate with the option's expected life. The
expected life used in the model is used on the risk-average balance likely to
be required by the option holders.
