When one end of the shaft could no longer be retained by the bracket, the suspension ropes completely dislodged from the pulley.

For the incident of 25 January 2012, the Ngong Ping 360 Limited and the EMSD, after preliminary investigation, considered that while the safety of the ropeway had not been affected, the service reliability might be affected by the wear found at the haul rope sheave bearing. The EMSD therefore agreed to Ngong Ping 360’s announcement of 3 February on the extension of the suspension of cable car service for two months in order to replace the bearings of all seven sets of bullwheels of the ropeway system and advance the annual examination for this year.

In the period under review, the Group in particular faced the following adverse operating environments: (i) imported cost of alumina ran high because of rising fuel costs; (ii) increase in supply of domestically-produced alumina in the PRC, though slower than previous two years, still remained on the high side; and (iii) decreased demand for alumina as a result of the disruption in production of certain PRC aluminium smelters after snow storms in Southern China in early 2008 has caused a price slide of alumina.

Overall gross profit margin dropped from 15.1% in the first-half of 2006 to 11.3% in the first-half of 2007, which was mainly attributable to: (i) copper fabrication accounted for a higher percentage of the Group’s turnover than before; however, its gross profit margin was not as high as that of the other business segments; (ii) in the first-half of 2006 the Group’s alumina trading business was particularly benefited from the absurdly high prices of alumina in the PRC market, thus the average selling price of alumina for that period was much higher than that of others; and (iii) the withstanding power of the Group to downside price adjustments of alumina was reduced because certain long-term sales contracts were ended in 2006.
