Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
I take pride
in presenting
Cokal’s Annual Report for
Financial Year 2015, on
the Board of
behalf of
company
and
Directors
management.
This marks Cokal’s sixth year of operation since the
reverse take-over of AEA in December 2010.
This has been a challenging year both in terms of
commodity markets and the global equity markets.
Cokal has managed to maintain its direction with a
the
focus on delivering shareholder value via
development of its prime assets in Central Kalimantan,
Indonesia.
In July 2014 the Ministry of Forestry granted the Izin
Princip Ijin Pinjam Pakai Kawasan Hutan or “In-
Principal Forestry Permit” for the Integrated Bumi
Barito Mineral (BBM) project including the Purnama
Port, 55 Km of haul road, and BBM Mine area. The In-
Principal Forestry Permit was the last major approval
needed prior to the issuance of the “Borrow and Use
of Forestry Area Permit” which allows the company to
commence construction.
in the
The requirements for the issuance of this last permit
were procedural in nature and the company expected
this to occur
fourth quarter of 2014.
Unfortunately this did not occur, while the reasons for
the delays were logical and sensible, they were largely
outside of the control of Cokal and resulted
in
significant delay and frustration all the same.
With the election of the new president of Indonesia in
October 2014, a new ministry was appointed. During
the appointment of the new ministry the Forestry and
Conservation ministries were combined into a single
ministry with significant changes to the combined
organisational structure and senior bureaucrats.
It wasn’t long after these changes had been bedded
down that the government on the 26th of January
2015, announced the appointment of the Indonesian
Investment Coordinating Board
the
responsible authority for the issuance of all major
permits including most importantly the Borrow and
Use of Forest Area Permit (IPPKH – Ijin Pinjam Pakai
Kawasan Hutan).
(BKPM) as
Following the announcement of the new process
under the control of the BKPM, it took some time for
the establishment and communication of the new
system. Our IPPKH application was resubmitted on the
30th of March, 2015, with the permit finally being
granted on the 13th of August 2015. The BBM IPPKH
permit was one of the very first to be issued under the
the efforts and
new process
testimony
to
determination of our dedicated
Indonesian staff
obtaining this critical approval in the face of continued
setbacks.
In August 2014 a fund managed by Platinum Partners
extended further debt funding to Cokal allowing the
continued advancement of the BBM project. Efforts
focused on detailed engineering, final design work and
completion of site preparation work to allow a prompt
start to construction activity once it commences.
Additional geological work was conducted at BBM in
the first six months of the financial year to improve
resource definition in the early years of the planned
production. An updated JORC resource statement was
released on the 29th of January 2015. This comprised
Indicated and 224Mt
19.5Mt Measured, 23.1Mt
Inferred JORC resources.
At the same time as the bankability of the BMM
project was delayed awaiting the IPPKH the seaborne
coking coal market has continued to deteriorate.
The benchmark quarterly contract pricing for hard
coking coal has fallen from US$112 in July 2014 to
US$92 in July 2015. At the same time the $A has gone
from US$0.93 to US$0.74 in the same time period.
This has taken pressure off the largest producers of
the commodity for Australian producers with the
majority of their costs in Australian dollars.
Demand for coking coal in China has weakened in this
last year as growth in the economy which drove the
strong uplift
in commodity prices previously has
weakened. This effect has been compounded by the
Chinese government’s continued financial support of
its own producers effectively delaying the exit of many
tonnes of production from the overall market while
prices remain weak.
The supply side of the seaborne coking coal market
has reduced with significant production reducing from
the USA. The majority of the producers in the USA are
now subject to chapter eleven provisions with their
debt obligations greatly exceeding their market
capitalisations.
While the overall market appears to be bleak there are
signs the market has bottomed with prices stabilising,
although at a low base, and the four major mining
companies beginning to exercise production cuts.
is an expectation state
Looking
assistance to the less profitable Chinese domestic
producers will be reduced so imported coking coal will
find more buyers in China. Elsewhere in Southeast
Asia, the growth of the Indian economy is beginning to
see higher demand for imported coking coal and steel.
forward there
While growth in the Indonesian economy has been
less than was hoped, overall its domestic economy has
shown continued resilience. The Jokowi government is
still very focused on achieving high levels of growth
COKAL LIMITED Annual Report 2015 | Page 2 of 68
with the attraction of significant foreign investment
towards large projects a key driver.
As the Chinese economy has grown the underlying
cost base has increased, making countries such as
Indonesia become attractive for future manufacturing
investment. The Indonesian economy has the added
attraction of size being the fourth largest population in
the world, providing a strong potential domestic
market.
Indonesia currently consumes approximately 20Mt of
steel per year of which only 5Mt
is produced
domestically. Steel consumption is predicted to reach
40Mt by 2020 and there are signs foreign entities are
looking towards Indonesia for the establishment of
hot metal production facilities. In December 2014 a
3Mtpa integrated steel works was opened at Cilegon
east of Jakarta in a 70/30 joint venture between Posco
and Indonesian Government owned PT Krakatau Steel.

Strengthening of Platinum Partners Funding Offer
On 9 February 2015 Cokal announced that Cedrus International Limited (Cedrus) has joined with Platinum Partners
(Platinum) to provide a non-binding term sheet to Cokal in relation to a US$110 million project finance facility
(Facility). The facility will initially be used to fund Cokal’s 2Mtpa BBM Project. Platinum and Cedrus will fund the
project equally.
In addition to the above financing, Cokal as part of the 50:50 river Barging Joint Venture with a local Indonesian
shipping company, Meritus Advance Maritime (MDM) which will be funded by equity from the joint venture
participants and senior debt, Cokal plans to raise bank financing for its 50% share of the barging fleet senior debt
(approximately US$15M). The facility will provide the equity funding for Cokal’s share of the Barging Joint Venture.
Takeover Proposal made by PT Cakra Mineral Tbk (CKRA)
As announced on 3 March 2015, Cokal Limited received an unsolicited non-binding and incomplete proposal in
relation to a conditional off market takeover bid by PT Cakra Mineral Tbk (CKRA) for all of the ordinary shares of Cokal.
CKRA is an Indonesian Company listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX: CKRA). On 27 April 2015 Cakra and Cokal
entered into a Bid Implementation Agreement under which Cakra would make a conditional off market takeover bid
for all the shares in Cokal (Offer).
On 17 August 2015, it was announced that the Group received a Bidder’s Statement from Cakra in relation to its offer
to acquire all of the shares in Cokal. The offer however is subject to Indonesian regulatory approval and to Cakra
raising approximately US$113 million by way of a rights issue. On 28 August 2015, Cokal issued a Target Statement in
response to Cakra’s off market takeover bid. Cokal directors consider that Cakra offer is fair and reasonable in the
absence of a Superior Proposal or material Adverse Change, for the reasons set out in the Target’s Statement. The
Target’s Statement explains however that Cokal Directors are unable to form a final view at this stage as to whether
the Cakra Share Consideration represents fair value. Directors will have more information when the Cakra Rights Issue
has been finally approved, priced and completed.
Exploration
Six Indonesian Coal Exploration Projects
The Company has acquired a share of the following projects:
60% of the shares in companies which own the BBM and Borneo Bara Prima (BBP) projects located in Central
Province, Kalimantan, Indonesia. The BBM project area comprises approximately 15,000ha and the BBP project
comprises approximately 13,050ha.
75% of the shares in companies which own the Anugerah Alam Katingan (AAK) and Anugerah Alam Manuhing
(AAM) projects are also located in Central Province, Kalimantan, Indonesia. The AAK project area comprises
5,000ha and the AAM project comprises 10,000ha.
75% of the shares in the company PT Silangkop Nusa Raya (SNR) which owns three exploration licences in West
Kalimantan covering an area of approximately 13,000ha.
Furthermore the company has entered into an agreement to acquire 75% of the shares in the company PT Tambang
Benua Alam Raya (TBAR) which own an exploration licence covering an area of approximately 18,850ha. This licence is
adjacent to the company’s BBM project
BBM, BBP, AAK, AAM and TBAR are within the highly prospective Central Kalimantan coking coal basin, with BBP, BBM
and TBAR adjacent to BHP Billiton’s coking coal tenements. SNR is in a highly prospective coking coal area in West
Kalimantan, near the Malaysian border.
BBM Project
BBM covers an area of 14,980 hectares (ha), immediately adjacent to BHP Billiton’s Juloi tenement, straddling the
Barito River and has numerous outcrops of bright coal. Ongoing drilling in the Eastern Block of BBM indicates
premium coking coal with Crucible Swell Numbers (CSN) values generally 9 or more.
A detail mapping survey of coal outcrops commenced in March 2014. The mapping survey found numerous outcrops
of Seams B, C and D close to the Barito River. Channel samples of these coal seams were analysed and confirmed the
COKAL LIMITED Annual Report 2015 | Page 4 of 67
continuity and consistency of low ash levels in these seams as indicated by the widely spaced boreholes. This detailed
mapping survey allowed the Resource categorization of the B, C and D Seams to be upgraded form Inferred to
Measured Resources in the shallow, low strip ratio areas near the Barito River.
The approvals received for BBM are discussed under “External Relations” in this report.
Africa
No major work was conducted in Tanzania or Mozambique during the year. The Company is maintaining a watching
brief on development in the region.
JORC Code Statements
Cokal released an updated Coal Resource statement for the Eastern portion of the Bumi Barito Mineral (BBM) coal
project, comprising of 19.5 Million tonnes (Mt) Measured, 23.1 Mt Indicated and 224 Mt Inferred Coal Resources in
accordance with the JORC Code (2012). The Resource Report, which was compiled by Cokal’s Competent Person, and
is compliant with the 2012 version of the JORC Code.
The main exploration activities conducted to date include:
Surface mapping of coal and non-coal outcrops, and channel sampling of coal outcrops
Shallow drilling using HQ coring for sampling
Deep drilling (average 400 metres (m) depth) for determining the continuity of the coal seams across the
BBM East Block.
Based on the data collected from these activities and a minimum seam thickness cut-off of 0.3m, a total Coal Resource
of 266.6Mt of B, C, D and J Seams (Tables 1 and 2) have been estimated in accordance with the JORC Code. Of that,
19.5Mt is deemed Measured Resources and 23.1Mt is Indicated Resources.
The upgrade of Resource to higher JORC categories is primarily due to the additional outcrop mapping and subsequent
channel sampling of the coal for Seams B, C and D in the areas covering Pits 1 and 2 in BBM East. These channel
samples gave a reliable representative sample of each coal seam. Although the coking coal properties of the samples
had been affected by oxidation due to near surface exposure, the chemical properties of the coal, such as Ash, Sulphur
and Volatile Matter have minimal affect from oxidation. These analytical results can be used to determine the
potential coal type. For example, if the Volatile Matter is greater than 14%, the coal is regarded as a Coking coal rather
than a PCI coal. PCI coals in BBM have been found to have Volatile Matter ranges from 10% to 14% as this correlates
consistently with CSN below 2. Above 14% Volatile Matter, CSN values are found to be above 5 until the Volatile
Matter reaches above 17% when the CSN is consistently 9.
The BBM Coal Resource includes Resources which have the potential to be economically extracted using both open pit
and underground mining methods.
The coal seams are generally thicker than 1m and the roof predominantly consists of very hard sandstone (up to
95Megapascals (MPa)) while the immediate 1m to 2m of roof consists generally of a competent siltstone. This
combination is ideal for extraction of the deeper Coal Resources using underground methods such as thin-seam
longwall mining.

The Coal Resources for BBM have been estimated in accordance with the 2012 version of the JORC Code. The area
covered by the current Coal Resource estimate is 30% of the total area of the BBM Production IUP tenement license.
The Coal Resource has been confirmed as a metallurgical coal from analyses conducted in an Australian laboratory,
and is comprised of 90% coking coal and 10% PCI/semi-soft coking coal (Table 1-3, Table 1-4 and Table 1-5).

Bumi Barito Mineral Project
BBM Definitive Feasibility Study Outcomes
The BBM Project definitive feasibility study (DFS) was completed in February 2014. During the year further pricing and
delivery enquiries were made to ensure that physical delivery and construction would comply with DFS Schedule. The
DFS is focused on the initial 2 Million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) with a direct ship start-up phase. All approvals and
government processes have been submitted to allow development of an operation of up to 6Mtpa capacity.
The additional pricing enquiry work carried out confirmed the availability and experience of a pool of key contractors,
fabricators and service providers with demonstrable capability to undertake the works at the BBM site and who are
fully cognizant of the seasonal conditions, productivity effects and logistics requirements of working in Central
Kalimantan.
Mine Design
The DFS mining study was completed by Aseamco a consultancy with extensive Indonesian and Australian experience
working from the geological model comprising the October 2013 JORC update. The mining study was developed by
first using a pit optimiser to rank coal resources in order of their relative cash margins. Overlaying this criteria was to
develop a mining schedule which targeted low in-situ ash resources in the early part of the mine life. This approach
resulted in a schedule which generated product coal early in the project life which not only had the lowest cash cost
but also delayed any capital requirements associated with coal processing to reduce product ash below the target
product specification of 8%.
The mine plan sees early production coming from a single pit extracting the low ash B, C D seams followed by the
opening of three additional pits accessing the J seam and later on the PCI resources of the B, C and D seams. While the
Geological model identified significant potential for underground mining potential the initial project will focus on a
purely low capital cost Open cut operation with a life of ten years. The underground potential would have the effect of
increasing the annual production potential and extending the project life.
Haul Road
A key part of the study was the 55 km haul road linking the BBM Mine site with the dedicated Barge loading facility to
be constructed at Punarma. The haul road has been designed to provide the trucks with a grade optimised route
which allows the coal trucks to maintain high travel speeds, operate efficiently and thereby achieve the lowest unit
cost per tonne kilometre. This includes the final bridge design and geotechnical investigations for both the bridges at
Osom and Babuat rivers. An hydrological review has also been undertaken to confirm bridge design parameters. The
full design covers all cut and fill quantities and identification of certain selected naturally occurring building materials
along the optimum route.
A land usage and ownership survey for the approximate 55 kilometres (km) of haul road has been completed
successfully with positive contributions from the local government and local land owners.
Barge Loading Facility
The Barge loading facility to be located at Punarma has been designed to suit the shallow draft push barging system.
The design is based on proven and successful facilities operating currently in the USA which are characterised by
simple low manning operations with minimal double handling of the coal product. Coal handling was paramount in
the engineering efforts to minimise product depredation and potential handleability issues. Land acquisition
arrangements for the Purnama Port are underway with the majority of the 150ha site being identified as available and
appropriate for acquisition. Very significant contributions were made by the local community, land owners and local
government to ensure this result.
Further geotechnical investigations have been undertaken for both the on-shore and off-shore components.
River Barging
Detailed studies of the river have been completed confirming the practicality of using a river based shallow draft
barging system. A detailed specific push tug and barge combination design to suit the identified navigable channel has
been produced. The shallow draft barging system increases the calendar utilisation of the Barito River which has
proven to be the main impediment for reliable logistics for the existing operators. While this system is an innovation
for Indonesia it forms the basis of bulk material movement for many countries around the world.
COKAL LIMITED Annual Report 2015 | Page 8 of 68
A barging Joint Venture (JV) agreement has been previously executed with a well-respected and experienced
Indonesian barging company, MDM Meratus Line. MDM has been instrumental in applying their practical knowledge
from many years of experience of commercial operation on the Barito servicing some of the most prestigious coal
operation. Their relationships with well some the world’s best shipyards means the final design and contract outcome
will translate to worlds best practice.
The Local Government has approved the location of the barge loading facility, with the Environmental Approval
allowing 6Mtpa throughput.
River Trans-loading Station and Intermediate stockpile
The study also included a detailed design and costing for the river based trans-loading station to transfer coal from the
river barging system for the upper Barito, to ocean going barges for delivery to offshore customer vessels via floating
crane transhipping systems. The river based trans-loading system has been designed to serve the dual function of
performing the in-loading system of the Intermediate stockpile facility when it is built. This allows the majority of the
capital cost of the intermediate stockpile facility to be delayed enough to be funded out of project cashflows rather
than in advance.
Final selection of the site of the trans-loading stockpile facility is currently being carried out and near completion with
a number of potential sites available.

BBM Forestry Permit – Update
Since Cokal received the In-Principal Forestry Permit from the National Forestry Department for an initial area 1,242
ha the pegging of the approved Forestry Permit area was completed (approx. 1,600 pegs installed). After the pegging
was concluded, and the additional administrative documents were finalised and presented the full Forestry Permit
was issued on 13 August 2015. This allows for the construction and operation of the port, haul road and initial mine
development. Cokal was one of the first companies to receive the Forestry Permit under the new Jokowi
administration which allows foreign companies to acquire their permits from the BKPM (Investment Coordinating
Board).
BBM Port Construction and Operation Approval
The approval of the PT BBM Port Construction and Operation was received from the National Transportation Minister
on 24 February 2015. Now that the approval has been secured, commencement of construction and operation of the
port can commence.
BBP Production Approval Advances – Update
The ugrade of the Izin Usaha Pertambangaan Eksplorasi (Exploration Mining Permit) to Izin Usaha Pertambangan
Eksploitasi (Production Mining Permit) was submitted in Q2 2013. Cokal has worked closely with the Regency
Government during the final year to address addition requirements associated with the finalisation and granting of
the Izin Usaha Pertambangan Eksploitasi (Production Mining Permit) which is expected to be awarded in Q4 2015.
KNR, SNR, AAK, AAM and TBAR Production Approval Advances – Update
During the financial year Cokal continued to work on progressing the Forestry Permits and having these projects listed
on the National Clean and Clear Register. In doing so Cokal has continued to work closely with the Regency and
Provincial Governments to progress the Forestry Permit requirements and with the National Mines Department to
fulfil the clean and Clear list requirements.
Safety and Health
As Safety & Health are both a key and integral part of our strategy to become a leading force in the metallurgical coal
sector we have taken a number of significant steps during the year including,
Mines Department accreditation of Adam Indra, our Safety and Health Manager, as a Kepala Teknik
Tambang (Mine Technical Manager). Yoga Suryanegara who was previously the Kepala Teknik Tambang
(Mine Technical Manager) at BBM has now taking over this role for all our exploration activities in other
areas. This gives us very strong Safety and Health coverage during exploration, construction and mining
activities.
Again received a formal commendation for both the standard and compliance of our reporting with our
BBM reporting achieving the highest compiance score of the more than 60 IUP’s operating in the
Regency.
COKAL LIMITED Annual Report 2015 | Page 9 of 68

Finalised a formal mobile and heavy equipment mine licence process which tests both theoretical and
practical ability prior to equipment operation on site. Similarly a process which reviews equipment
suitability and standard prior to operatioon on site.
Ensured compliance with all government reporting requirements for which we have received a formal
commendation regarding to both standard and compliance of our reporting.
Continued a regular inspection protocol of equipment and facilities on a regular basis including all water

Administratively we continued to establish a number of procedures and processes including formalised
Health and Safety policies, objectives and targets, Health and Safety responsibility and accountability
matrices.
The Hazard identification and Risk Assessment Register previously established for both current and
future activities associated both with exploration, construction and mining was continued and refined.
Complete Health, Safety and Environmental Induction process for all employees, contractors and visitors
including specific inductions for water transport and site flora and fauna protection. Currently over 550
persons have been inducted.
Health and Safety awareness campaigns carried out on a regular basis including daily and weekly
meetings and the production of an internal safety bulletin.
Environmental
Sound management of the environment is a critical part of Cokal’s strategy to become a global force in the
metallurgical coal sector. In order to establish absolute compliance and develop very high level work practices a
number of key steps have been undertaken during the year including:
The introduction of the Environment and Sustainability Policy to reflect the company’s transition from exploration
into production.
The commencement of developing the PT BBM Project’s Environmental Management System and the finalisation
and implementation of the Project’s Environmental Management Strategy
The continuation of baseline water and environmental monitoring at the BBM project area.
The continuation of the environmental awareness programme aimed at “grass roots” level and presented in such
a manner that it is easily comprehendable to employees with limited education. Topics include forest burning,
gold sluicing and rubbish disposal which are critical issues in this area.
The on-going operation of the BBM site nursery, where local provenance tree species and suitable ground cover
species as grown to supply plant stock for the site rehabilitation program. The nursery is currently maintaining a
stocking rate of approx. 5,000 plants.
The continuation of the school based environmental awareness and tree planting program and will provide
environmental awareness training each month to different local schools. In addition, the students at each of the
schools will identify an area for rehabilitation and PT BBM is providing plants and materials from the on-site
nursery to support the school tree planting program. This program will continue throughout the life of the PT
BBM project and it is hoped that over 5,000 plants will be planted on an annual basis outside the mining lease
boundary through this program.
The establishment of an authorised waste storage area. The drums, batteries and waste oil were taken by a
licenced hazardous materials contractor and taken to an approved and registered disposal facility in Banjarmasin.
In addition, an ongoing contract has been established with the licenced operator to remove drums and waste oil
from the PT BBM site so that we comply with the maximum on site storage time of 3 months. A Register of
Hazardous materials has been established in order to ensure that no hazardous material is disposed of incorrectly

Feasibility Studies
The Feasibility Study for the BBP project was submitted to the Regency Mines Department for review. At the
completion of the review Cokal worked closely with the Regency Government to modify some areas of the Report.
The Feasibility Study update was completed during the financial year and was re-submitted to the Regency
Government for final consideration and approval. Cokal has been advised that no additional work is required on the
Feasibility Study and approval of the study by the Regency Government is expected in Q4 2015.

cement blocks that have been used during the construction and operation of the PT BBM Project including
bunding walls for fuel storage facilities and waste storage areas. PT BBM continues to provide the local business
owners with training in business administration. It is expected that the business will evolve into other concrete
based products that can be purchased and used by PT BBM.
Cokal is continuing a fish farm project at the PT BBM mine site. Given the success of the three pond trial
previously, a second micro-business focused on fish farming was established with local community ownership and

Principal Activities
The principal activities of the consolidated entity during
the financial year were focused on the identification and
development of coal within the highly prospective
Central Kalimantan coking coal basin in Indonesia and to
explore for coal in Tanzania with JV partner Tanzoz
Resource Company Ltd (Tanzoz).
Operating Results
For the year ended 30 June 2015, the loss for the
consolidated entity after providing for income tax was
US$13,044,047 (2014: US$5,898,888).
The operating results have been heavily driven by a
US$5.25m
(2014: nil) de-recognition of pre-tenure
exploration expenditures. In addition the other main
driver was finance costs of US$2.9m (2014: US$0.6m).

Annual Report particularly in the ‘Review of Operations’
and ‘Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders’ sections.

ordinary shares and 66,150,000 unlisted options on issue.
Financial Position
The net assets of the consolidated entity have decreased
by US$9,623,980 from US$59,796,592 at 30 June 2014 to
US$50,172,612 at 30 June 2015. This decrease has

Treasury Policy
The consolidated entity does not have a formally
established treasury function. The Board is responsible
for managing the consolidated entity’s finance facilities.
Some goods and services purchased by the consolidated
entity, along with the payments made to the vendors of
the Kalimantan coal projects, are in foreign currencies
(AU dollars or Indonesian Rupiah).
On 9 February 2015 Cokal announced that Cedrus
International Limited (Cedrus) has joined with Platinum
Partners (Platinum) to provide a non-binding term sheet
to Cokal in relation to a US$110 million project finance
facility (Facility). The facility will initially be used to fund
Cokal’s 2Mtpa BBM Project. Platinum and Cedrus will
fund the project equally.
As announced on 3 March 2015, Cokal Limited received
an unsolicited non-binding and incomplete proposal in
relation to a conditional off market takeover bid by PT
Cakra Mineral Tbk (CKRA) for all of the ordinary shares of
Cokal. CKRA is an Indonesian Company listed on the
Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX: CKRA). On 27 April 2015
Cakra and Cokal entered into a Bid Implementation
Agreement under which CAKRA would make a
conditional off market takeover bid for all the shares in
Cokal (Offer).
During the year, Cokal announced the total fund
managed by Platinum has extended the term of its
bridging loan facility to 6 August 2015. Upon extension
the total loan for the project development to date
including additional non-
totalled US$10,065,000
refundable working fee for the extension of US$915,000.
The present intention is that the loan will be refinanced
by the BBM project financing facility. The full amount of
Platinum loan was repayable on 6 August 2015. The
extension is still being negotiated and no demand for
repayment has been received. Until finalisation of Cakar’s
transaction, no external funding can be sought. Also
Cakra’s transaction agreement states “It is also a priority
for Cakra to pay down Cokal’s existing loans subject to
available cash, to increase its flexibility in developing and
getting BBM into operation.”
Under the extension agreement, Cokal granted the
following options to Platinum during the year:
On 27 August 2014, 15,000,000 options at US$0.186
expiring on 27 August 2018; and
On 6 February 2015, 25,000,000 options at
US$0.101 expiring on 6 February 2019.
The consolidated entity does not currently undertake
hedging of any kind.

Significant Changes in the State
of Affairs
During the year, the functional currency of Cokal Limited
and all controlled entities, changed to United States (US)
dollars from Australia (AU) dollars effective from 1 July
2014. Consistent with the change, the presentation
currency of the Group also changed to US dollars. The
change
in functional currency to US dollars was

Reporting Date
(a) On 13 August 2015, it was announced that the
Group received the Borrow and Use of Forest Area
Permit IPPKH (Ijin Pinjam Pakai Kawasan Hutan) for
an initial operational area of 1,242 ha in BBM (Bumi
Barito Mineral) Coal Project. The IPPKH (Forestry

the port, haul road and initial mine development
areas for Cokal’s initial mine plan of 2 Mtpa of
premium coking coal from BBM.

to Cakra
(b) On 17 August 2015, it was announced that the
Group received a Bidder’s Statement from Cakra in
relation to its offer to acquire all of the shares in
Cokal. The offer however is subject to Indonesian
regulatory
raising
and
approximately US$113m by way of a rights issue. On
28 August 2015, Cokal issued a Target Statement in
response to Cakra’s off market takeover bid. Cokal
directors consider that Cakra offer
is fair and
reasonable in the absence of a Superior Proposal or
material Adverse Change, for the reasons set out in
the Target’s Statement. The Target’s Statement
explains however that Cokal Directors are unable to
form a final view at this stage as to whether the
Cakra Share Consideration represents fair value.
Directors will have more information when the
Cakra Rights Issue has been finally approved, priced
and completed.

Likely developments
consolidated entity and the expected results of those
operations in subsequent financial years have been
discussed where appropriate in the Annual Report under
Review of Operations.
There are no further developments of which the
Directors are aware which could be expected to affect
the results of the consolidated entity’s operations in
subsequent financial years.
Business Results
The prospects of the Group in developing their properties
in Indonesia may be affected by a number of factors.
These factors are similar to most exploration companies
moving through exploration phase and attempting to get
projects into production. Some of these factors include:
Exploration - the results of the exploration activities
at the BBM project and the tenements in Central
Kalimantan may be such that the estimated
resources are insufficient to justify the financial
viability of the projects.
Regulatory and Sovereign - the Group operates in
Indonesia and deals with local regulatory authorities
in relation to the operation and development of its
properties. The Group may not achieve the required
local
they may be
significantly delayed to enable it to commence
production.
regulatory approvals or
Funding - the Group will require additional funding
to move from the exploration/development phase to
the production phase of the BBM project and the
tenements in Central Kalimantan. There is no
certainty that the Group will have access to available
financial resources sufficient to fund its capital costs
and/or operating costs at that time.
Development - the Group is involved in developing
greenfield projects in Indonesia which could result in
capital costs and/or operating costs at levels which
do not justify the economic development of the
project.
Market - there are numerous factors involved with
early stage development of its properties such as the
BBM project, including variance in commodity price
and labour costs which can result in projects being
uneconomical.
Environmental Issues
The consolidated entity is subject to environmental
regulation in relation to its exploration activities in
respective countries. Indonesia where the company’s
main project is located the principal laws are Act No.41 of
1999 regarding Forestry (the Forestry Law), Act No.4 of
2009 regarding Minerals and Coal Mining (the Mining
Law) and Act No. 32 of 2009 regarding Environmental
Protection

Remuneration Policy
The performance of the consolidated entity depends
upon the quality of its directors and executives. To
prosper, the consolidated entity must attract, motivate
and retain highly skilled directors and executives.
The Board does not presently have Remuneration and
Nomination Committees. The directors consider that the
consolidated entity is not of a size, nor are its affairs of
such complexity, as to justify the formation of any other
special or separate committees at this time. All matters
which might be dealt with by such committees are
reviewed by the directors meeting as a Board.

The Board,
in carrying out the functions of the
Remuneration and Nomination Committees, assess the
appropriateness of
the nature and amount of
remuneration of such officers on a periodic basis by
reference to relevant employment market conditions
with
the overall objective of ensuring maximum
stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality
Board and executive team. Such officers are given the
opportunity to receive their base remuneration in a
variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits. It is
intended that the manner of payments chosen will be
optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for
the consolidated entity.
The consolidated entity aims to reward the Executive
Directors and senior management with a level and mix of
remuneration commensurate with their position and
responsibilities within the consolidated entity. The
Board’s policy is to align director and executive objectives
with shareholder and business objectives by providing a
fixed remuneration component and offering short and/or
long-term incentives as appropriate.
In accordance with best practice corporate governance,
the structure of non-executive directors, Executive
Directors and senior management remuneration
is
separate and distinct.
Non-executive Director Remuneration
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level
which provides the consolidated entity with the ability to
attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst
incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

Directors agree and, in default of agreement, equally.
The aggregate remuneration currently determined by
Cokal Limited is AU$500,000 per annum. Additionally,
in a general meeting
non-executive directors will be entitled to be reimbursed
for properly incurred expenses.
If a non-executive director performs extra services, which
in the opinion of the directors are outside the scope of
the ordinary duties of the director, the consolidated
entity may remunerate that director by payment of a
fixed sum determined by the directors in addition to or
instead of the remuneration referred to above.
However, no payment can be made if the effect would be
to exceed the maximum aggregate amount payable to

link reward with the strategic goals and performance
of the consolidated entity; and
ensure total remuneration is competitive by market
standards.
The remuneration of the Executive Directors and senior
management may from time to time be fixed by the
Board. As noted above, the Board’s policy is to align the
Executive Directors and senior management objectives
with shareholder and business objectives by providing a
fixed remuneration component and offering short and/or
long-term incentives as appropriate.
The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a
base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to
the position and is competitive in the market. Short-term
incentives may be provided in the form of performance
bonuses. Fixed remuneration and short-term incentives
are reviewed annually by the Board, in carrying out the
functions of the Remuneration Committee, and the
process consists of a review of Company-wide and
individual

Senior management are given the opportunity to receive
their fixed remuneration in a variety of forms including
cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and
expense payment plans. It is intended that the manner
of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient
without creating undue cost for the consolidated entity.
Long-term incentives may be provided in the form of
options and/or the

completion of satisfactory time periods of service. The

The remuneration of the Executive Directors and senior
management for the year ending 30 June 2015 is detailed
in this Remuneration Report.
Relationship between Remuneration and Consolidated
Entity Performance
During the financial year, the consolidated entity has
generated losses as its principal activity was exploration
for coal within the Central Kalimantan coking coal basin
in Indonesia.
The following table shows the performances of the
consolidated entity for the last five years:

There were no dividends paid during the year ended 30
June 2015.
As the consolidated entity is still in the exploration and
development stage, the link between remuneration,
consolidated entity performance and shareholder wealth
is tenuous. Share prices are subject to the influence of
coal prices and market sentiment toward the sector, and
increases or decreases may occur quite
as such
independent of executive performance or remuneration.
Employment and Services Agreements
It is the Board’s policy that employment and/or services
agreements are entered into with all Executive Directors,
senior management and employees.
Agreements do not provide
for pre-determining
compensation values or method of payment. Rather the
amount of compensation is determined by the Board in
accordance with the remuneration policy set out above.
KMP are entitled to their statutory entitlements of
accrued annual leave and long service leave together
with any superannuation on termination. No other
termination payments are payable.

These options were not issued based on performance criteria as the Board does not consider this appropriate for a
junior exploration Group. The options were issued to the director and senior management of Cokal Limited to align
comparative shareholder return and reward for director and senior management.
All options were issued by Cokal Limited and entitle the holder to one ordinary share in Cokal Limited for each option
exercised.
All options granted as part of remuneration for the year ended 30 June 2014 were granted for nil consideration. Once
vested, options can be exercised at any time up to the expiry date.
The consolidated entity does not currently have a policy prohibiting directors and executives from entering into
arrangements to protect the value of unvested options. No directors or executives have entered into contracts to
hedge their exposure to options awarded as part of their remuneration package.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2015
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) General information
The consolidated financial statements of Cokal Limited for the year ended 30 June 2015 were authorised for issue in
accordance with a resolution of the Directors dated 11 September 2015 and covers the consolidated entity (the “Group” or
“Cokal”) consisting of Cokal Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries.
The financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (“USD” or “US$”).
Cokal Limited (the parent) is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia, whose shares are publicly
traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The principal activities of the Group during the year were focused on the identification and development of coal within the
highly prospective Central Kalimantan coking coal basin in Indonesia.
(b) Basis of preparation
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.
(c) Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business
activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The ability of the Group
to continue to adopt the going concern assumption will depend upon a number of matters including:
a) The successful raising, in the future, of the necessary funding, either through debt, equity and/or farm-out to
complete the BBM project to operational status;
b) Management of short term interest bearing liabilities through the use of the BBM project financing, additional debt
or equity raising or modified repayment terms with lenders; and
c) The successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the Group’s tenements.
Should these avenues be delayed or fail to materialise, the Group has the ability to scale back its activities to enable the
Group to meet its debts as and when they fall due in the short term. However, this may require the Group to have to
renegotiate or satisfy current borrowings of US$10.065m, through further loan extensions (which require lender consent)
and/or through the use of funding from other sources. In the event that sufficient funds are not available or loans cannot be
re-negotiated before the amounts become due, the Group may enter default on this facility which would allow the lender to
call the amount immediately.
The Directors are confident given the current permitting and financing processes undertaken and/or currently in progress
and announced to the market, that the Group will be successful in its endeavours.
Given this, the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded
asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities should the Group be unsuccessful in raising funds or
managing its existing funds to enable it to realise its assets in the ordinary course of business.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2015
(d) New accounting standards and interpretations
(i)
Changes in accounting policy and disclosures
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous annual year ended 30 June 2014, except as listed
below (none of the other new standards or interpretations effective for annual periods commencing on or after 1 January
2014 had any impact on the Group):
Reference
Title
AASB
Interpretation 21
Levies
AASB Interpretation 21 clarifies that an entity recognises a liability
for a levy when the activity that triggers payment, as identified by
the relevant legislation, occurs. For a levy that is triggered upon
reaching a minimum threshold, the interpretation clarifies that no
liability should be anticipated before the specified minimum
threshold is reached. Retrospective application is required for
AASB Interpretation 21.

on the Group
1 July 2014
Effective 1 July 2014, Cokal Limited, and its subsidiaries, changed their functional and presentation currencies to USD. In
making this change in functional and presentation currency, the Group followed the requirements of AASB 121: The effects
of changes in foreign exchange rates.
The change in functional currency to USD was undertaken because the directors believed this currency most faithfully
represented the primary economic environment and underlying transactions, events and conditions that were relevant to
the Group. AASB 121 required such a change in functional currency to be accounted for prospectively from the date of
change, being 1 July 2014.
The change in presentation currency was made to coincide with the change in functional currency as management felt the
USD better reflected the economics of its business. Prior to 1 July 2014, the Group reported its annual and half yearly
consolidated statement of financial position and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows in the
Australian dollar (“AUD” or “AU$”). In accordance with AASB 121, the financial statements for all years and periods
previously presented have been translated into the new presentation currency. As a result, the statements of
comprehensive income and cash flow statement items for each prior year and period have been translated into the
presentation currency using the average exchange rates prevailing during each reporting period. All assets and liabilities
have been translated using the exchange rate prevailing at each of the reporting dates. Shareholders' equity transactions
have been translated using the rates of exchange in effect as of the dates of the various capital transactions. The following
exchange rates were used for comparative financial information translation:
Assets and liabilities at 30 June 2014
Assets and liabilities at 30 June 2013
Revenue, expenses and cash flows for the year ended 30 June 2014
Equity balances at 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013
- AU$1: US$0.9419
- AUD1: US$0.9133
- AUD1: US$0.9178
- Applicable historical rates
The above stated procedures resulted in a foreign currency translation reserve of US$1.55m at 30 June 2014. Earnings per
share for 2014 has also been restated in USD to reflect the change in presentation currency (refer to Note 7).
All resulting exchange differences arising from the translation that occurred due to this change are included as a separate
component of other comprehensive income in a reserve entitled “translation reserve” (refer Note 18). All comparative
financial information has been restated to reflect the Group’s results as if they had been historically reported in USD. From 1
July 2014 forward, there will be no amounts taken to the foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR), as that from this point,
the functional currency equals the presentation currency so no translation differences will arise from consolidating the
foreign operations.

(d) New accounting standards and interpretations (cont’d)
(ii)
Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective
A number of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations have recently been issued but are not yet effective. The
directors have not early adopted any of these new or amended Standards and Interpretations for the year ended 30 June
2015. The directors have not yet fully assessed the impact of these new or amended Standards or Interpretations (to the
extent relevant to the Group). The new standards and interpretations that could potentially impact the Group include the
following:
-
-
-
AASB 9: Financial Instruments (effective annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018);
AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1
January 2017 (the effective date may be deferred to 1 January 2018); and
Amendments to AASB 11 Joint Arrangements: Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests (effective annual reporting
periods commencing on or after 1 January 2016).
(e) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries at reporting
date. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the
investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an
investee if and only if the Group has:
Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the
investee);
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts
and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
The contractual arrangements with the other vote holders of the investee;
Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to
one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the
subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary
acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group
gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of
the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line
with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-Group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating
to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the
Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
De-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;
De-recognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests;
De-recognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;
Recognises the fair value of the consideration received;
Recognises the fair value of any investment retained;
Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and
Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as
appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2015
(f) Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the
aggregate of the consideration transferred measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling
interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests
in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs
are expensed as incurred and included in administrative expenses.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and
designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the
acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, any previously held equity interest is re-measured at its acquisition date
fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date.
Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of AASB 139
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised either
in either profit or loss or as a change to OCI. If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of AASB 139, it is
measured in accordance with the appropriate standards. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-
measured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount
recognised for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the
Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews
the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. If the re-assessment still results in an
excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognised in
profit or loss.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of
impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the
Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or
liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.
Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the
goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the
gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed
operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
(g) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue
can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being received. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the
consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or
duty. The Group has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary obligor
in all the revenue arrangements, has pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks. The specific
recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Interest
For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost and interest bearing financial assets classified as loans and
receivables, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the
estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter year, where
appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. Interest income is included in other income.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed
to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods.
Consultation fees
Consultation fees are recognised when the service is rendered and revenue can be measured reliably.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Income tax
(h)
The income tax expense for the year is the tax payable on the current year's taxable income based on the national income
tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences
between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax
losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, between carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases, at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets
are recovered or liabilities settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction.
Exceptions are made for certain temporary differences arising on initial recognition of an asset or a liability if they arose in a
transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or
taxable profit.
Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses if it is probable that
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases
of investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures where the parent entity is able to control the timing
of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Current and deferred tax balances relating to amounts recognised directly in other comprehensive income and equity are
also recognised directly in other comprehensive income and equity, respectively.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
profitable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets
against tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation
authority.
Cokal Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are in the process of implementing the tax consolidation legislation in
Australia. Cokal Limited will be the head entity in the tax consolidated Group. Once the tax consolidation is executed, these
entities will be taxed as a single entity and deferred tax assets and liabilities will be offset in these consolidated financial
statements.
Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill
(i)
At the end of each reporting period the Group assesses whether there is any indication that individual assets other than
goodwill, are impaired. Where impairment indicators exist, recoverable amount is determined and impairment losses are
recognised in profit or loss where the asset's carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the
higher of an asset's FVLCD and VIU. For the purpose of assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the asset.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount for an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable
amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Assets other than goodwill that have previously been impaired are tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed.
Joint venture and joint operations
(j)
A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to
the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which
exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The considerations made in determining joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries.
A joint arrangement can be classified as a joint venture or a joint operation. The classification of a joint arrangement as a
joint venture or a joint operation depends upon the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement.
COKAL LIMITED Annual Report 2015 | Page 36 of 68
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2015
Joint venture and joint operations (cont’d)
(j)
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the
assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement.
Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. The Group does not currently have any joint ventures.
The Group recognises its interest in joint operations as follow:
Assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;
Liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;
Revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;
Share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and
Expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.
Details of the Group’s joint operations are set out in Note 11.
(k) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and at bank, deposits
held at call with financial institutions, other short term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less,
that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Financial instruments – initial recognition and subsequent measurement
(l)
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity
instrument of another entity.
(i) Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and
receivables, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets, or as derivatives designated as hedging
instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Group currently only has receivables.
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through
profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or
convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e. the date that the Group commits
to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement
Loans and receivables
This category is the most relevant to the Group and generally applies to trade and other receivables. Loans and receivables
are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial
measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR)
method, less impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and
fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in profit or loss in the
statement of comprehensive income. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in profit or loss in the statement of
comprehensive income in finance costs for loans and in cost of sales or other operating expenses for receivables.
De-recognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily de-
recognised (i.e. removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position) when:
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the
received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ”pass-through” arrangement; and either (a)
the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred
nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
COKAL LIMITED Annual Report 2015 | Page 37 of 68
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2015
(i) Financial assets (cont’d)
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through
arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither
transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the
Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement. In that case, the
Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that
reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a Group of financial
assets is impaired. An impairment exists if one or more events that has occurred since the initial recognition of the asset (an
incurred ‘loss event’) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets
that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is
experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they
will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in
the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
(ii) Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and
borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of
directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Accounts payable
Accounts payable are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business
from suppliers and employees. The accounts payable are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method (EIR). Due to their short term nature, the fair value approximates their carrying value.
Loans and borrowings
This is the category most relevant to the Group. After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the
liabilities are de-recognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an
integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance costs in profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive
income. This category generally applies to interest bearing loans and borrowings.
De-recognition
A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires. When an
existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an
existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss
in the statement of comprehensive income.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial
position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on
a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
COKAL LIMITED Annual Report 2015 | Page 38 of 68
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2015
(m) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less depreciation and impairment losses.
The cost of property, plant and equipment constructed within the Group includes the cost of materials, direct labour,
borrowing costs and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable costs.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it
is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the consolidated entity and the cost of the
item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which
they are incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of property, plant and equipment is depreciated over their useful life to the Group commencing
from the time the asset is held ready for use.
The depreciation rates used for each class of assets are:
Class of Fixed Assets
Land
Computer Equipment
Furniture and Office Equipment
Motor Vehicles
Depreciation Rate
nil
33.3% straight line
10 – 33.3% straight line
20% straight line
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are
expected from its use or disposal.
Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. The gains and losses are
included in the statement of comprehensive income.
(n) Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of
interest. Such expenditures comprise net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure but do
not include overheads or administration expenditure not having a specific nexus with a particular area of interest. The
exploration and evaluation expenditure is only carried forward as exploration or evaluation assets to the extent that they
are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet
reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves and active or
significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.
When technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a Coal Resource have been demonstrated then any
capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is reclassified as capitalised mine development. Prior to reclassification,
capitalised exploration and evaluation expense is assessed for impairment.
A regular review has been undertaken on each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry
forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off/de-
recognised in full against profit in the period in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
Costs related to the acquisition of properties that contain Coal Resources are allocated separately to specific areas of
interest. These costs are capitalised until the viability of the area of interest is determined.
The stripping costs (the process of over burden removal) incurred before production commences (development stripping)
are capitalised as part of mine development expenditure and subsequently amortised.
The stripping costs incurred subsequent to commencement of production are referred to as production stripping.
Production stripping is generally considered to create two benefits, being either the production of inventory or improved
access to the coal to be mined in the future. Where the benefits are realised in the form of inventory produced in the period,
the production stripping costs are accounted for as part of the cost of producing those inventories. Where the benefits are
realised in the form of improved access to ore to be mined in the future, the costs are recognised as a non-current asset,
referred to as a ‘stripping activity asset’, if the following criteria are met:
a) Future economic benefits (being improved access to the ore body) are probable;
b) The component of the ore body for which access will be improved can be accurately identified; and
c) The costs associated with the improved access can be reliably measured.
COKAL LIMITED Annual Report 2015 | Page 39 of 68
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2015
(n) Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure (cont’d)
If all of the criteria are not met, the production stripping costs are charged to profit or loss as operating costs as they are
incurred. When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest (mine development and
acquired properties) will be amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically
recoverable reserves using a units of production method.
Mine rehabilitation costs will be incurred by the Group either while operating, or at the end of the operating life of, the
Group’s facilities and mine properties. The Group assesses its mine rehabilitation provision at each reporting date. The
Group recognises a rehabilitation provision where it has a legal and constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it
is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of
obligation can be made. The nature of these restoration activities includes: dismantling and removing structures;
rehabilitating mines and tailings dams; dismantling operating facilities; closing plant and waste sites; and restoring,
reclaiming and revegetating affected areas.
The obligation generally arises when the asset is installed or the ground/environment is disturbed at the mining operation’s
location. When the liability is initially recognised, the present value of the estimated costs is capitalised by increasing the
carrying amount of the related mining assets to the extent that it was incurred as a result of the development/construction
of the mine. Any rehabilitation obligations that arise through the production of inventory are recognised as part of the
related inventory item. Additional disturbances which arise due to further development /construction at the mine are
recognised as additions or charges to the corresponding assets and rehabilitation liability when they occur. Costs related to
restoration of site damage (subsequent to start of commercial production) that is created on an ongoing basis during
production are provided for at their net present values and recognised in profit or loss as extraction progresses.
Changes in the estimated timing of rehabilitation or changes to the estimated future costs are dealt with prospectively by
recognising an adjustment to the rehabilitation liability and a corresponding adjustment to the asset to which it relates, if
the initial estimate was originally recognised as part of an asset measured in accordance with AASB 116.
Any reduction in the rehabilitation liability and, therefore, any deduction from the asset to which it relates, may not exceed
the carrying amount of that asset. If it does, any excess over the carrying value is taken immediately to the statement of
profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
If the change in estimate results in an increase in the rehabilitation liability and, therefore, an addition to the carrying value
of the asset, the Group considers whether this is an indication of impairment of the asset as a whole, and if so, tests for
impairment. If, for mature mines, the estimate for the revised mine assets net of rehabilitation provisions exceeds the
recoverable value, that portion of the increase is charged directly to expense.
Over time, the discounted liability is increased for the change in present value based on the discount rates that reflect
current market assessments and the risks specific to the liability. The periodic unwinding of the discount is recognised in the
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as part of finance costs. For closed sites, changes to estimated
costs are recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The Group recognises neither the deferred tax asset in respect of the temporary difference on the decommissioning liability
nor the corresponding deferred tax liability in respect of the temporary difference on a decommissioning asset.
(o) Employee benefits
Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be
settled within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are recognised in respect of employees' services rendered up to
the end of the reporting period and are measured at amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities
for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when leave is taken and measured at the actual rates paid or payable. In
determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may
satisfy vesting requirements.
COKAL LIMITED Annual Report 2015 | Page 40 of 68
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2015
(p) Provisions
Provisions for legal claims and make good obligations are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive
obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the
obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Issued capital
(q)
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown as a
deduction from the equity proceeds, net of any income tax benefit.
Share-based payments
(r)
The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors) and suppliers (including financiers and consultants) in the
form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees or suppliers render/provide services in exchange for shares
or options over shares (equity-settled transactions).
The fair value of options granted to employees is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase
in equity (share-based payment option reserve). The fair value of options granted to financiers is recognised as finance cost
with a corresponding increase in equity (share-based payment option reserve). Fair value of shares issued to employees and
consultants are recognised as employee benefits and consultancy expenses respectively with a corresponding increase in
share capital. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees/suppliers
become unconditionally entitled to the options. Fair value is determined by an independent valuer using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model. In determining fair value, no account is taken of any performance conditions other than those related
to the share price of Cokal Limited (market conditions).
The cumulative expense recognised between grant date and vesting date is adjusted to reflect the directors’ best estimate
of the number of options that will ultimately vest because of internal conditions of the options, such as the employees
having to remain with the Group until vesting date, or such that employees are required to meet internal performance
targets. There are no conditions associated with the options issued to the financiers. No expense is recognised for options
that do not ultimately vest because internal conditions were not met. An expense is still recognised for options that do not
ultimately vest because a market condition was not met.
At each subsequent reporting date until vesting the cumulative charge to the statement of comprehensive income is the
product of:
The grant date fair value of the award;
The current best estimate of the number of awards that will vest, taking into account such factors as the likelihood of
employees turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood of non-market performance conditions being met; and
The expired portion of the vesting period.
The charge to the statement of comprehensive income for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above less the
amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding entry to equity.
Where the terms of options are modified, the expense continues to be recognised from grant date to vesting date as if the
terms had never been changed. In addition, at the date of the modification, a further expense is recognised for any increase
in fair value of the transaction as a result of the change.
Where options are cancelled, they are treated as if vesting occurred on cancellation and any unrecognised expenses are
taken immediately to profit or loss. However, if new options are substituted for the cancelled options and designated as a
replacement on grant date, the combined impact of the cancellation and replacement options are treated as if they were a
modification.
The dilution effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilutions in the computation of diluted
earnings per share.
(s) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) attributable to owners of Cokal Limited by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares during the
period.
Diluted earnings per share
Earnings used to calculate diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the amount used in determining basic
earnings per share by the after-tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares. The
weighted average number of shares used is adjusted for the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been
issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2015
(t) GST
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST except where GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is
not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the
asset or as part of the expense item.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable
to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statements of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from
investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating
cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation
authority.
(u) Determination and presentation of operating segments
AASB 8 Operating segments requires a management approach under which segment information is presented on the same
basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the
internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker (CODM), which has been identified as the Board of Directors.
Operating segments that meet the qualification criteria as prescribed by AASB 8 are reported separately. However, an
operating segment that does not meet the qualification criteria is still reported separately when information about the
segment would be useful to users of the financial statements.
(v) Fair value measurement
The Group did not have any financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value at reporting date. Fair value is the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or
transfer the liability takes place either:
In the principal market for the asset or liability; or
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Group.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing
the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset
in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to
measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the
fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as
a whole:
Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether
transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that
is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2015
(w) Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at
the date of transaction (refer note 1(d)). Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated
at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. The resulted gain or loss on retranslation is included in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange
rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated
using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
(x) Operating leases
Operating lease payments are recognised as an operating expense in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight
line basis over the lease term. Operating lease incentives are recognised as a liability when received and subsequently
reduced by allocating lease payments between rental expense and reduction of the liability.
(y) Parent entity financial information
The financial information for the parent entity, Cokal Limited, included in Note 20, has been prepared on the same basis as
the consolidated financial statements, except investments in subsidiaries and joint venture operations are accounted for at
cost, less provision for impairment.
(z) Current versus non-current classification
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position based on current/non-current
classification. An asset is current when it is either:
Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle;
Held primarily for the purpose of trading;
Expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or
Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after
the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when either:
It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;
It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
It is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or
There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
(aa) Critical accounting estimates and judgments
Details of critical accounting estimates and judgements about the future made by management at the end of the reporting
period are set out below:
(i) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses each reporting period to determine whether any indication of impairment exists. Where an indicator
of impairment exists, a formal estimates of the recoverable amount is made, which is considered to be the higher of the
fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCD) and value in use (VIU). The assessments require the use of estimates and
assumptions such as long term coal prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors),
discount rates, operating costs, future capital requirements and decommissioning operating performance (which
includes production and sales volumes). These estimates and assumptions are subject to risks and uncertainty.
Therefore, there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will impact this project, which may impact the recoverable
amount of the asset.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The Group considers any third party offers when forming a view
on fair value.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2015
(aa) Critical accounting estimates and judgments (cont’d)
(ii) Exploration and evaluation assets
The application of the Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgement to
determine whether future economic benefits are likely, from either exploration or sale, or whether activities have not
yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of technically feasible and commercially
viable reserves. The determination of reserves and resources is itself and estimation process that requires varying
degrees of uncertainty depending on how the resources are classified. These estimates directly impact when the Group
defers exploration and evaluation expenditure. The deferral policy requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions about future events and circumstances, in particular, whether an economically viable extraction operation
can be established. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after
expenditure is capitalised, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of the expenditure is unlikely, the
relevant capitalised amount is written off in profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income in the period when
the new information becomes available.
At reporting date, certain tenements have reached a renewal date or will reach a renewal date in the next 12 months.
These tenements remain current until an official government expiry notice is issued. The directors are of the opinion that
while they are due for renewal, as no expiry notice has been received they remain current. If renewal is not forthcoming,
the amounts capitalised will likely be de-recognised.
(iii) Taxation
The Group’s accounting policy for taxation requires management’s judgement as to the types of arrangements
considered to be a tax on income in contrast to an operating cost. Judgement is also required in assessing whether
deferred tax assets and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet.
Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unrecouped tax losses, capital losses and temporary differences, are
recognised only where it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the
generation of sufficient future taxable profits. Judgements are also required about the application of income tax
legislation. These judgements and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that
changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax
liabilities recognised on the balance sheet and the amount of other tax losses and temporary differences not yet
recognised. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying amounts of recognised deferred tax assets and liabilities
may require adjustment, resulting in a corresponding credit or change to the income statement.
(iv) Estimation of useful lives of plant and equipment
The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on estimated useful lives as published by the Australian
Taxation Office. These align with the economic life of the assets for accounting purposes. In addition, the condition of
the assets is assessed at least once per year and considered against the remaining useful life. Adjustments to useful lives
are made when considered necessary and accounted for prospectively.
(v) Share-based payments
The Group uses estimates to determine the fair value of equity instruments issued to directors, executives, employees
and suppliers. Further detail of estimates used in determining the value of share-based payments is included in Note 25.
(vi) Joint arrangements
Judgement is required to determine when the Group has joint control over an arrangement, which requires an
assessment of the relevant activities and when the decisions in relation to those activities require unanimous consent.
The Group has determined that the relevant activities for its joint arrangements are those relating to the operating and
capital decisions of the arrangement such as approval of the capital expenditure program for each year or terminating
the service providers of the arrangement. The considerations made in determining joint control are similar to those
necessary to determine control over subsidiaries.
Judgement is also required to classify a joint arrangement. Classifying the arrangement requires the Group to assess its
rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Specifically, the Group considers:
The structure of the joint arrangement – whether its structured through a separate vehicle
When the arrangement is structure through a separate vehicle, the Group also considers the rights and
obligations arising from:
-
The legal form of the separate vehicle;
-
The terms of the contractual arrangement; and
- Other facts and circumstances (when relevant).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2015
(aa) Critical accounting estimates and judgments (cont’d)
This assessment often requires significant judgement, and a different conclusion on joint control and also whether the
arrangement is a joint operation or a joint venture, may materially impact the accounting.
Per agreement with subsidiary shareholders, the relevant activities including financing of certain entities’ are managed
and controlled by Cokal until the completion of Initial Work Program (refer note 10). The rights of other shareholders to
receive returns and obligations for expenditure are only established when they contribute their share of capital upon
completion of the Initial Work Program by Cokal. Given this, to date it has been determined that Cokal controls these
entities and hence currently consolidates them as subsidiaries. In future periods, however, the accounting treatment of
these entities will be required to be reassessed upon completion of Initial Work Program. This may lead to a change in
accounting if it is then determined that instead of controlling these entities, Cokal now only jointly controls these and
they are joint arrangements. Depending on whether these joint arrangements are classified as joint ventures or joint
operations, this may require either equity accounting (for a joint venture) or recognition of Cokal’s share of the assets,
liabilities, income and expenses of the arrangement (for a joint operation). Directors have not reassessed the impact at
reporting date as the Initial Work Program has not been completed at this date.

The carried forward tax losses and temporary differences not recognised as deferred tax assets as at 30 June 2015 were
US$20,978,223 (30 June 2014: US$16,240,003) and US$nil (30 June 2014: US$441,719) respectively.
In order to recoup carried forward losses in future periods, either the Continuity of Ownership Test (COT) or Same Business
Test must be passed. The majority of losses are carried forward at 30 June 2015 under COT.
Deferred tax assets which have not been recognised as an asset, will only be obtained if:
(i)
the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the losses to be
realised;
(ii) the Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and
(iii) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the losses

* Based on the assessment under AASB 6, Cokal has de-recognised a portion of carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset, as no
future economic benefits are expected to flow to the Group as it is unlikely these activities are to be recovered in full from successful development
or by sale. Exploration expenditure de-recognised primarily relate to the deposits made for PT Faja Raya, PT Lara Bara Khatulistiwa, PT
DharmaBintang Nusantara, Silangkop Project, PT Tunggal Putra and PT Duta Sakti. Also the remaining carrying value at reporting date represents
projects in Indonesia, which is considered one Cash Generating Unit for impairment testing purposes. Based on the recent take-over bid from CKRA,
the fair value offered exceeds the carrying value of net assets. However, given minimum headroom any decline in the offer used to evaluate FVLCD
would cause impairment by the amount of the decline in the offer.

Blumont Group Facility
On 5 November 2013, the Group entered into a loan facility agreement with Blumont Group Limited, a shareholder. Under
this facility the Group has drawn down US$3.4 million (30 June 2014: US$3m) and no further drawdown is expected under
this facility in the future periods.
The loan is repayable within 3 years, interest is 5% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears and can be capitalised and repaid
at maturity. The facility is secured by up to 5% of Cokal’s shares in Cokal Holdings Pte Ltd. If a future placement is made to
Blumont and should the subscription agreement require, the placement funds received from Blumont will be used to repay
the loan. The loan is otherwise on customary terms and conditions for a loan of this nature, size and type.
Platinum Partners Facility
On 29 March 2014, the Group entered into a short term loan agreement for US$3.5m with Platinum Partners (Platinum) for
working capital. The loan is subject to withhold (prepaid interest) at the date of utilisation the aggregate amount of:
US$600,000, as a non-refundable work fee payable to the lender in respect of the facility; and
US$150,000, as the borrower's contribution for costs and expenses as stipulated in the agreement, the balance of
which amount is refundable on the repayment date to the extent not utilised by the lender.
On 6 August 2014, the Group entered into an additional short term loan agreement for US$5.65m with Platinum for working
capital. The loan is subject to withhold (prepaid interest) at the date of utilisation the aggregate amount of:
US$500,000, as a non-refundable work fee payable to the lender in respect of the facility; and
US$150,000, as the borrower's contribution for costs and expenses as stipulated in the agreement, the balance of
which amount is refundable on the repayment date to the extent not utilised by the lender.
During the year, Cokal announced the total fund managed by Platinum has extended the term of its bridging loan facility to 6
August 2015. Upon extension the total loan for the project development to date totalled US$10,065,000 including additional
non-refundable working fee for the extension of US$ 915,000. The present intention is that the loan will be refinanced by
the BBM project financing facility once it is in place upon receipt of forestry permit (refer Note 28).
Under the extension agreement, Cokal granted the following options to Platinum:
On 27 August 2014, 15,000,000 options at US$ 0.186 expiring on 27 August 2018; and
On 6 February 2015, 25,000,000 options at US$ 0.101 expiring on 6 February 2019.

Note 16: Interest Bearing Loans (cont’d)
The options will be exercisable at any time before expiry. Payment of the exercise price may be satisfied by the holder paying
the exercise price in cash or causing the provider of the bridge loan or project finance to reduce the principal owing by the
amount of the exercise price. Shares issued on exercise of an option rank equally with all other ordinary shares then on issue.
The full amount of Platinum loan was repayable on 6 August 2015. The extension is still being negotiated and no demand for
repayment has been received. Until finalisation of Cakar’s transaction, no external funding can be sought. Also Cakra’s
transaction agreement states “It is also a priority for Cakra to pay down Cokal’s existing loans subject to available cash, to
increase its flexibility in developing and getting BBM into operation.”
The loans are secured by 950 ordinary shares and 46,608,900 preference shares of Cokal Holdings Pte. Ltd. and for all shares
of Cokal-BBM Pte. Ltd.

Guarantees
The parent entity has set up wholly owned special purpose entities (SPEs) in Singapore to hold ownership interests in
Indonesia and Tanzania entities and provided an undertaking to financially support SPEs to meet their liabilities as and
when they fall due.
Contractual Commitments
There were no contractual commitments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment entered into by the parent
entity at 30 June 2015 (2014 – nil).
Contingent liabilities
The parent entity has no contingent liabilities.
Capital commitments
The parent entity has no capital commitments.
Impairment assessment
At 30 June 2015 the parent entity Cokal Limited recorded its investment and loan in controlled entities at USD78.2
million. Cokal Limited also reported above, net assets of USD67.6 million (USD$0.135 per share/AUD0.177 per share). An
independent assessment associated with the current bid for all shares and options in Cokal Limited by Cakra placed a
value on Cokal shares between AUD0.14 and AUD0.24. The takeover bid by Cakra can be taken for cash at AUD0.16 a
Cokal share or 10.327 Cakra shares for one Cokal Share or a combination. In addition option holders have been offered a
cash price for their options. This applied to the total shares and options on issue allows for an implied value of AUD83.6
million (499.3 million shares @16 cents and AUD $3.7million for the options) or USD 63.98 million at 30 June 2015. The
directors have determined this cash offer to be fair and reasonable in the absence of a superior offer. The Directors
however also noted that they cannot form a view whether the Cakra share consideration represents a fair and reasonable
offer. On this basis the directors have not made any adjustment to the carrying values included in the statement of
financial position of Cokal Limited as they believe the cash consideration offer, while fair and reasonable, does not
represent the highest value which could be achieved for the investments held by Cokal Limited as an individual entity.

Note 22: Contingent Liabilities
The contingent liabilities are in relation to the acquisition of tenements. At 30 June 2015, the Group has further obligations
to make contingent payments of up to US$24.70m (30 June 2014: US$24.86m) on the achievement of certain milestones,
including the establishment of certain JORC Inferred Coal Resources and the issuance of production operation IUPs
(licences) and production forestry permit.
Cokal received the BBM’s forestry permit in August 2015 (refer note 28). Per agreement, US$10m final payment for BBM
is required to be paid upon receipt of Forestry Permit (milestone achieved) and other conditions precedent. However, due
to Cakra’s transaction, Directors believe obligation for payment of this liability effective 13 August 2015 is not satisfied
until the completion of Cakra’s transaction and commencement of BBM development activities.
The Group executed a joint operating agreement with MDM, an Indonesian Group, to engage in the ownership of push
tugs and barges for shallow river operations. The parties wish to establish a jointly owned company for this operation and
the registration of this is in progress. The jointly owned company will manage the barging operation for the BBM project
should production commence and other conditions precedent take place primarily when BBM obtains the forestry permit
(refer Note 28). Once the jointly owned company is incorporated, Cokal will hold 49% interest by contributing an estimated
US$11 million (49% ordinary share capital of jointly owned company, Indonesian Rupiah 200 billion). This amount is
therefore considered contingent on this company being incorporated.
The directors are not aware of any other significant contingent liabilities at the date of this report.

average remaining contractual life of 2.29 years (30 June 2014: 2.13 years).
Pursuant to the Group’s Incentive Option Scheme, if an employee ceases to be employed by the Group then options will
expire three months from the date employment ceases.

The expected life of the options has been taken to be the full year of time from grant date to expiry date. The options
pricing model assumes that options will be exercised on or immediately before the expiry date.

Note 27: Financial Risk Management
(a) General objectives, policies and processes
In common with all other businesses, the Group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This
note describes the Group objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure
them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.
There have been no substantive changes in the Group’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and
processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated
in this note. The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable, security
deposits, interest bearing loans and accounts payable.
The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group’s financial risk management objectives and
policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating
processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group’s finance function. The
Group’s financial risk management policies and objectives are therefore designed to minimise the potential impacts of
these risks on the results of the Group where such impacts may be material.
The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce financial risk as far as possible without unduly
affecting the Group’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below.

Note 27: Financial Risk Management (Cont’d)
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the other party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge their obligation resulting in the
Group incurring a financial loss. This usually occurs when debtors fail to settle their obligations owing to the Group.
The Group’s objective is to minimise the risk of loss from credit risk exposure.
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period, without taking into account the value
of any collateral or other security, in the event other parties fail to perform their obligations under financial
instruments in relation to each class of recognised financial asset at reporting date, is as follows:
Cash and bank balances
Receivables
Security deposits

Credit risk is reviewed regularly by the Board and the Audit Committee.
The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or Group of debtors under financial
instruments entered into by the Group. No receivables balances were past due or impaired at period end. The credit
quality of receivables that are neither past due nor impaired is good. Bank deposits are held with Macquarie Bank
Limited, National Australia Bank Limited and Australia and New Zealand Banking Corporation Limited.
(c) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties raising funds to meet financial obligations as they fall
due. The objective of managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that the Group will always have sufficient
liquidity to meets its liabilities when they fall due, under both normal and stressed conditions.
Liquidity risk is reviewed regularly by the Board and the Audit Committee.
The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and liquidity ratios such as working capital. The

Note 27: Financial Risk Management (cont’d)
(d) Market Risk
Market risk arises from the use of interest bearing, tradable and foreign currency financial instruments. It is the risk
that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates
(interest rate risk), foreign exchange rates (currency risk) or other market factors (other price risk). The entity does
not have any material exposure to market risk other than as set out below.
(i) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises principally from cash and cash equivalents. The objective of interest rate risk management is
to manage and control interest rate risk exposures within acceptable parameters while optimising the return.
Interest rate risk is managed with fixed rate debt. For further details on interest rate risk refer to the tables below:

Note 28: Significant Events after the Reporting Date
a) On 13 August 2015, it was announced that the Group received the Borrow and Use of Forest Area Permit IPPKH
(Ijin Pinjam Pakai Kawasan Hutan) for an initial operational area of 1,242 ha in BBM (Bumi Barito Mineral) Coal
Project. The IPPKH (Forestry Permit) allows for the construction and operation of the port, haul road and initial
mine development areas for Cokal’s initial mine plan of 2 Mtpa of premium coking coal from BBM.
b) On 17 August 2015, it was announced that the Group received a Bidder’s Statement from Cakra in relation to its
offer to acquire all of the shares in Cokal. The offer however is subject to Indonesian regulatory approval and to
Cakra raising approximately US$113m by way of a rights issue. On 28 August 2015, Cokal issued a Target
Statement in response to Cakra’s off market takeover bid. Cokal directors consider that Cakra offer is fair and
reasonable in the absence of a Superior Proposal or material Adverse Change, for the reasons set out in the
Target’s Statement. The Target’s Statement explains however that Cokal Directors are unable to form a final view
at this stage as to whether the Cakra Share Consideration represents fair value. Directors will have more
information when the Cakra Rights Issue has been finally approved, priced and completed.

with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity's
preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity's internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.

Act 2001. We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence

Emphasis of Matter - Going Concern
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1(c) in the financial report which describes a
number of matters which need to be executed by the consolidated entity (individually or cumulatively)
in order meet its on-going obligations and continue as a going concern. These conditions indicate the
existence of an uncertainty that may cast doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a
going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge
its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial report does not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not continue as a
going concern. The Directors describe in Note 1(c) their considerations in determining that the
consolidated entity is a going concern.
