Operating cash generation and refurbishment transfers require different readings
Operating cash flow was positive CNY 2,429,601,488.84, investing cash flow negative CNY 2,392,894,467.26 and financing cash flow positive CNY 1,866,578,209.07. Management links the operating increase to more cash received from goods sales, investing changes to treasury management of temporarily idle equity proceeds and financing changes to newly raised equity capital. These are net category flows, not construction payments for each named project. Net fixed assets ended at CNY 11,635,731,992.14 and construction in progress at CNY 1,726,806,137.51. The business overview attributes the fixed-asset decline partly to the transfer of the Tongxiang 360,000-tonne programme phase-I cold repair into construction in progress, while the management discussion explains the decline in the fixed-asset share of total assets through the larger asset denominator after fundraising. A fall in the amount and a fall in the asset ratio are separate comparisons. Egypt phase-II construction and Tongxiang refurbishment contributed to the increase in construction in progress. An accounting transfer does not establish a new cash payment, added operating capacity or the physical completion of a furnace. Overseas assets of CNY 4,403,250,066.15 represented 18.28% of assets, a stock of assets rather than overseas sales or unrestricted cash.
