Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders 

Dear Shareholders,  

This last year has seen the development of preparations for the commencement of coal production.  

Operational achievements for the year include: 

•  Mining tenders conducted for BBM which are in the final stages of negotiation; 

• 

Identification  of  a  98km  former  logging  road  to  bypass  165km  of  the  Barito  River.  Access  road 
reconstruction is to commence shortly; 

•  Finalisation of a Coal Evacuation Strategy for BBM; 

•  Determination  of  the  location  of  the  Intermediate  Stockpile  (ISP)  and  barge  loader  which  will  be  at 

Bumban (Muara Lahung); 

•  5 Year Mining Plan updated to reflect earlier mining of coking coal; 

•  Negotiations and finalisation of contract with HSM Marine to construct and operate shallow draft self-

propelled barges; and 

•  TBAR IUP for exploration licence extended. 

On the financial front significant milestones were achieved, strengthening the Company’s financial health 
and placing Cokal in a strong financial position to enable it to progress with the financing required for the 
commencement of production.  These milestones include: 
•  Completion of the conversion of the Platinum Loans (now held by Alpine Invest Holding Ltd) to a per 

tonne coal production rate; and 

•  Conversion of the final vendor payment for BBM to a per tonne coal production rate. 

These milestones, now achieved, allow the Company to complete the financing of construction of the BBM 
coking coal mine. 

I would like to take this opportunity to highlight the contribution of the team from Aahana.  Since Aahana’s 
investment  we  have  almost  completely  replaced  the  local  operational  team  to  include  seasoned  and 
experienced coal production personnel. 

This team’s contribution not only enabled the above financial achievements, but have been instrumental in 
the  new  operational  plan,  obtaining  all  necessary  government  approvals  and  negotiating  successfully  the 
required contractor agreements to enable Cokal to move to production. 

The Company now looks forward to the commencement of mining operations in this current financial year. 

I thank my fellow Board members and management as well as our in-country teams for their ongoing efforts 
and positive outcomes during the past year.  

We thank you our shareholders for your on going support.

Review of Operations 

Cokal  Limited  (ASX:CKA;  Cokal  or  the  Company)  is  an  Australian  listed  company  with  the  objective  of  becoming  a 
metallurgical coal producer with a global presence.  Cokal has interests in four projects in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, 
each with known resources of metallurgical coal.  

INDONESIAN COAL ASSETS 

Cokal  holds  shares  in  the  following  Indonesian  coal  assets  in  Central  Kalimantan,  each  with  known  resources  of 
metallurgical coal:  

• 

• 

• 

• 

60% of the Bumi Barito Mineral (BBM) project located in Central Province, Kalimantan, Indonesia. The BBM 
project area is 14,980ha;  

75%  of  PT  Tambang  Benua  Alam  Raya  (TBAR)  which  owns  an  exploration  tenement  covering  an  area  of 
approximately 18,850ha in Central Province, Kalimantan, Indonesia.  This tenement is located adjacent to and 
southeast of the BBM project; 

60% of the Borneo Bara Prima (BBP) project located in Central Province, Kalimantan, Indonesia.  The BBP 
project area is approximately 13,050ha; 

75%  of  the  Anugerah  Alam  Katingan  (AAK)  project.    This  project  is  also  located  in  Central  Province, 
Kalimantan,  Indonesia  and  has  an  area  of  approximately  5,000ha.  AAK  is  currently  on  ‘on-hold’  status  by 
Provincial Police Department (Polda Kalteng). The Police have investigated a dispute over the ownership of 
AAK pre-dating Cokal’s interest in the Project. Cokal is an aggrieved party and will await the outcome of the 
Police investigation. 

BBM, TBAR, BBP and AAK are located adjacent to Indomet’s extensive coking coal tenements.  The Company is currently 
focussed on the development of the BBM Project.

Review of Operations 

Bumi Barito Mineral (BBM) Project 

BBM’s permit covers an area of 14,980ha with multiple seams of high quality metallurgical coal. BBM has regulatory 
approvals in place including: 

•  Mining Licence for 20 years with two further extensions of 10 years each 

•  Environmental approval for a mining rate of 6Mt per annum 

•  Port construction approval  

•  Forestry Permit to commence mining activity 

•  RKAB approval of annual plan. 

The BBM Permit Area is dissected by the Barito River, which cuts through the tenement in a north-south trend.  Almost 
the entire IUP contains coal-bearing sediments with open cut mineable areas controlled by three major fault systems.  
Coal analyses from more than 130 outcrops on the west side of the Barito River indicate that it contains premium quality 
anthracite and PCI coals.  This coal does not currently form part of stated BBM coal resources and provides significant 
potential for future expansion of BBM resources. 

BBM Permit Area 

Updated rehabilitation plans and the work plan for 2019 (RKAB) were submitted during the year and approved by the 
Government (Directorate General Minerals and Coal).  The design of explosive storage facilities is being finalised as a 
basis for obtaining the required blasting permit before the end of this year.    

Approval is being sought to extend mining into the eastern part of Pit 2.  An alternative to move directly to develop Pit 
1 before extending Pit 2 is being considered. 

The revised plan for stockpile location, settling pond area and dumping area was submitted to the Environmental Office 
Agency  of  Central  Kalimantan  Province.    Production  and  sales  reports  have  been  submitted  as  required.    Quarterly 
reports were submitted to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.  A Business Registration Number (NIB) was 
created to provide a one stop shop for government approvals for BBM.   A Community Development and Empowerment 
Master Plan is being prepared.

Review of Operations 

During the survey of mining areas in Pit 3 a disused logging road was identified.  This runs 98km to Bumban to bypass 
165km of the most difficult parts of the Upper Barito River.   This is described later in this report.  

No exploration activity, mining production or development was conducted by Cokal during the year.   

The Five Year Mine Plan was updated to form the basis for mining contracts.  In February 2020 Cokal called for tenders 
from Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors to:  

•  Remove overburden and inter-burden at its BBM mine  
•  Mine coal at BBM  
•  Transport coal from BBM mine to the Intermediate Stockpile (ISP) and barge loader at Bumban.  

A  shortlist  of  two  potential  contractors  entered  protracted  negotiations  which  are  nearing  conclusion.    A  third 
contractor is being considered to obtain the minimum cost of coal delivered to the barge loader at Bumban. 

Coal Delivery to Market 

A review of mine logistics resulted in a changed coal evacuation strategy for BBM. 

Cokal will now haul product coal 103km on an all-weather road from BBM Pit 3 to an ISP and barge loader at Bumban 
(Muara Lahung) to bypass the most difficult 165km of the Upper Barito River.  A barging company, HSM Marine, will be 
contracted to supply and operate shallow draft, self-propelled 3,000t barges which can operate in 2 to 2.5m deep water 
to deliver coal to a point below Muara Teweh Bridge from where it will be transferred to 8,000t river barges for the 
voyage down river to the mouth of the Barito River. From there coal will be transported to ships standing offshore using 
conventional barges. 

As per the current plan no land coal storage will be developed for BBM apart from stockpiles at the mine and at the 
Bumban barge loader.  Surges in coal delivery will be accommodated using moored barges in two locations:  first just 
downstream of the Muara Teweh bridge and second close to the mouth of the Barito River.   

Tambang Benua Alam Raya (TBAR) Tenement 

TBAR’s exploration authority covers an area of 18,850ha immediately adjacent to and south of Cokal's BBM tenement.  
Outcrop mapping of four seams over 17km strike length indicates a substantial resource of high grade coking coal in this 
deposit.  It is believed these seams correlate to the B, C, D and J seams in BBM.   

Extension of the IUP for exploration was received in February 2020.  Over 80% of the tenement area is available for 
exploration and mine development with 20% being protected forest.  An exploration plan has been prepared to evaluate 
the tenement’s resource and to delineate Resources and Reserves under the JORC code.  This will enable submission of 
an  application  for  a  Production  and  Operation  IUP  within  two  years.    The  Production  and  Operation  IUP  will  be 
equivalent to a mining licence.  

No exploration activity or mining production was conducted at TBAR by Cokal during the year.  However the access road 
from BBM Pit 3 to Bumban passes through the TBAR licence area and in surveying this road several coal outcrops were 
exposed which are thought to be the TBAR coking coal seams including J seam. 

Keeping in consideration that Cokal’s priority is to commence mining operations in BBM, the Company applied for an 
extension of the exploration permit for an additional year which was granted in February 2020. This extension will allow 
us to concentrate our efforts on commencement of mining operations in BBM without losing any granted time period 
for conducting exploration activities in TBAR. Such extension provides an additional 12-months to conduct exploration 
activity in TBAR. 

Borneo Bara Prima (BBP) Tenement 

Cokal's BBP project covers 13,050ha in Murung Raya Regency, Central Kalimantan.  BBP has been granted an Exploration 
Forestry  Permit  (IPPKH)  and  has  been  confirmed  on  the  Central  Government’s  Clean  and  Clear  list.    The  IUP  was 
transferred to the Central Government where it now awaits approval to be upgraded to a mining license (Production 
and Operation IUP).

Review of Operations 

A  business  license  decree  for  operation  foreign  mining  production  (IUP  OP  PMA)  from  the  Capital  Investment 
Coordination  Board  Centre  (BKPM)  was  received  in  Q1  2019.    Work  plans  and  the  budget  (RKAB)  2019  have  been 
submitted to the government (Directorate General Minerals and Coal).  

No exploration activity was conducted in BBP during the year.  

Anugerah Alam Katingan (AAK) Tenement  

Cokal's AAK project covers 5,000ha in Central Kalimantan. Applications for the Exploration Forestry Permit (IPPKH) and 
Clean  and  Clear  Certificates  continue  to  be  processed.    Cokal  continues  to  monitor  the  progress  of  the  regulatory 
upgrade approvals for AAK.    

No exploration activity was conducted in AAK during the year. 

FORMER LOGGING ROAD (BBM and TBAR) 

Logging roads from BBM Pit 3 to Bumban port  

During detailed surveying around BBM Pit 3 a disused 10 to 11m wide logging road was identified and traced to connect 
to another logging road now in use to transport coal and timber to ports 165km down river from Cokal's previously 
planned river port at Krajan.  The disused logging road is 46km long to join the road now in use, which runs another 
52km to the proposed ISP and barge loader at Bumban, total 98km.  The 46km road is almost all within the license areas 
for BBM and TBAR. 

This 98km road bypasses 165km of the most difficult parts of the Upper Barito River to a point on the river now in 
regular use for barge transport for most of the year using conventional barges.  Using shallow draft barges from this 
location Cokal will be able to transport coal to market throughout every month of the year.  This is essential to meet 
the demands of steel mill customers and to avoid deterioration of the coking properties of the coal when in stockpiles. 

The base of the disused logging road is still in place although vegetation has intruded along the edges.  The 52km road 
now in use is in good condition for 30t trucks, the size intended to be used by Cokal.

Review of Operations 

Cokal's  team  conducted  a  detailed  survey  of  the  road  to  map  and  mark  the  complete  route  and  to  assess  the 
requirements  to  upgrade  the  road  in  terms  of  width  and  gradient  for  use  by  30t  trucks.      A  drone  survey  with 
photographs was conducted on the 46km of the road to be reconstructed. 

Cokal has established its right to use these roads and assessed the cost of a program to upgrade the now disused section 
of the road.  This has been adopted as the main logistics route to bring BBM and TBAR coal to market via a barge loader 
at Bumban.

Review of Operations

Former logging road now being used as a haul road 

The first 46km from BBM's Pit 3 will be reformed to 12m wide with 2m shoulders.  Steep sections of the road will be cut 
and filled as required to achieve a maximum 8% gradient for uphill loaded hauls, 10% on downhill loaded sections.  It is 
planned to haul coal in 30t trucks so relatively tight curves can still be accepted.  The surface of the old road is still intact 
and not severely rutted, indicating the road may be reformed into an all-weather road by using the existing gravel and 
implementing careful drainage control.  49 new culverts will be required plus three bridges.  Cokal will have exclusive 
use of this section of the road.  

Reconstruction of this section of the road will be in two stages:  first to gain road access to Pit 3 and then to upgrade 
the road to be suitable for coal haulage.  Only when road access has been achieved can the mining equipment be brought 
to site and mining commenced. 

The second 52km of the road is already in use by logging and mining companies but traffic is not heavy.   Cokal will share 
the maintenance of this road with current users.   

The logging company which built and previously used this road has been engaged to provide advice and facilitate social 
acceptance of the road reconstruction.  They will also provide the timber and technology to rebuild culverts and bridges. 

Sources of gravel have been identified which can be used to maintain the road all weather capability throughout the 
period of mining.  An andesite deposit at the mid-point of the haul road has the potential to be a long term reliable 
source of gravel.   

BBM has secured an exclusive permit to use the haul road from Pit 3 to the 52km intersection.

Review of Operations
COAL BENEFICIATION 

Where the haul road crosses the outcrop of the J seam in TBAR it is intended to take advantage of the similarities in the 
quality and characteristics of the J seam in BBM and TBAR.   

When  the  access  road  development  reaches  the  J  seam  outcrops  a  full  scale  comprehensive  screening  test  will  be 
undertaken to confirm the extent to which the ash can be lowered by screening alone instead of screening and water 
washing.   

Most of the ash in run-of-mine (ROM) coal in the J seam occurs in two or three thin (50mm) mudstone bands which are 
much harder than the friable vitrinite which comprises 90 to 92% of the coal.  It is expected that the average 13% ROM 
ash can be reduced to less than 7% ash by screening alone.  

Bearing in mind the BBM exploration experience of washing coal cores at 1.6sg provided 85% yield at 5 to 6% ash, this 
is not an unreasonable expectation.  

Coal with 7% ash, combined with the high swelling index, low sulphur and ultra-low phosphorus, will be easily marketed 
compared with most coking coals on the market. 

The elimination of the need for water only jig washing will be a significant simplification of the processing of coking coal 
from BBM and will enable it to be relocated as the mining operation advances to minimise ROM coal haul distances. 

The  coal  processing  plant  will  be  constructed  to  enable  the  subsequent  addition  of  a  coal  washing  jig  should  it  be 
determined that it will be more economical to produce a lower (5 to 6%) ash product. 

SHALLOW DRAFT BARGING 

During the year a detailed Bathymetric Survey of 400km of the Barito River was completed jointly by Cokal and HSM 
Marine. The area surveyed included the three shortlisted ISP and barge loading sites at Bumban and the bridge at Muara 
Teweh.  The detailed survey provided critical information required for infrastructure development associated with barge 
loading and operation  

This indicated that the site furthest downstream was preferred as a site for the barge loader when viewed from the 
water side only.  However this site will be subject to regular flooding, an important parameter to consider in the Upper 
Barito River.  A fourth site further upstream, not included in the bathymetric survey, looks favourable from the land 
side.  This is now being assessed.   It is likely a further bathymetric survey will be required. 

The bathymetric survey identified an acceptable navigation channel for shallow draft self-propelled barges from the 
jetty sites being considered to below the Muara Teweh bridge, at which point the coal will be transferred into 8,000t 
barges for the remainder of the voyage. 

HSM has finalised its design of shallow draft 3,000t self-propelled barges to provide year round transport of coal to 
below the Muara Teweh Bridge.

Review of Operations 

The main design elements of these barges include: 

•  Deck mounted azimuth thrusters which rotate 3600 to propel and steer the barge; 
•  Bow thruster to assist directing the bow in the preferred navigation channel; 
•  Forward controls for optimum visibility and control; 
•  Operates fully loaded in 3m water depth, partly loaded in shallower water. 

Self-Propelled Shallow Draft Barge 

These 100m long barges will be able to rotate in a little over their length to be highly maneuverable.  This will be valuable 
in negotiating passage under bridges and tight bends in the navigable river channel. 

HSM has designed a custom 8,000t floating transfer vessel to be moored at a point in the river just below the Muara 
Teweh Bridge. 

MINE OPERATIONS STAFF 

Cokal/BBM has appointed the following senior mine operations staff in preparation for the imminent commencement 
of mining operations at its BBM mine in Central Kalimantan.  This team will integrate with existing staff to plan and

Kalimantan.  

CORPORATE ACTIVITY 

BT Bara Mineral Asri (BMA) 

BMA has contributed US$2 million to Cokal to be repaid from the sale of coal when mining commences.  This will be 
paid at US$10/t for coal sales at US$100/t or greater and 10%/t for coal sold at less than US$100/t.   

BMA indicated last year it will submit a revised proposal for cooperation but so far this has not been received. 

Aahana Global Resources and Investment Pte Ltd (AGRI) 

During the 2019 financial year Aahana Mineral Resources SDN BHD (AMR), an associate company of Aahana Global 
Resources  &  Investment  Pte  Ltd  (AGRI),  completed  the  acquisition  of  a  substantial  shareholding  in  Cokal  Limited.  
AMR/AGRI is now the largest single shareholder in Cokal.

Krakatau National Resources (Krakatau) 

Meetings were held with senior management of Krakatau to discuss the future sale to them of both PCI coal and coking 
coal.  Krakatau indicated its PCI capable blast furnace will require 7,000 to 10,000t/month PCI coal.   

They requested a 10kg sample of our PCI coal which was provided and analysed.  Favourable comment was subsequently 
received from Krakatau.  Liaison is ongoing. 

Krakatau is currently obtaining its PCI coal from Australia.  If they take delivery of BBM PCI coal in the upper Barito River, 
as they have done previously for others, Cokal may be able to negotiate an arrangement attractive for both parties. 

Krakatau  Steel  has  presented  the  opportunity  to  work  together  on  their  met  coke  plant  as  BBM  provides  them  a 
domestic and reliable source of raw material once operational. Discussions are ongoing. 

Conversion of Balance of Platinum Debt to Royalty 

During  the  year  the  Company  consented  to  the  assignment  of  its  Blumont  Loan  and  Northrock  Loan  (together  the 
“Platinum Loans”) to Alpine Invest Holdings Ltd.  Cokal has agreed to the assignment on the following terms:  

• 

• 

• 

each of the Subsequent Conditions for the conversion of the Platinum Loans to a royalty is irrevocably satisfied 
or otherwise waived, resulting in the debt being discharged;  
the royalty/commission payable to Alpine will be the greater of:  

o  USD 10,000 per month; and  
o  USD 2.00 per tonne of coal sold by BBM and TBAR on a monthly basis; and 

the  maximum  royalty  payment  of  US$40million  remains  the  same  and  will  be  payable  through  the  first  20 
million tonnes of coal produced and sold by both BBM and TBAR. 

Short-Term Debt Facility 

In May 2020 Cokal raised a short-term debt facility totalling US $300,000 from Aahana Minerals Resources SDN BHD.  
The facility is unsecured and interest is calculated as Singapore Interbank Offered Rate (SIBOR) + 3% per annum.  The 
facility will be used to fund activities to commence initial road works preparations and for working capital. As at 30 June 
2020, $ Nil amount of this facility has been utilised.  

Entitlement Offer 

In June 2019 the Company announced a fully underwritten non-renounceable entitlement offer of one (1) new share 
for every eight (8) Cokal shares held at an issue price of AU$0.05 per new share to raise approximately AU$4.7 million 
(US$3.0 million) before costs.  At the closing date of the entitlement offer shareholders had taken up approximately 
AU $1.7  million.    The  directors  placed  some  of  the  shortfall  with  the  remainder  placed  with  the  Company’s  major 
shareholder and underwriter, Aahana Global Resources & Investment Pte Ltd.  The funding raised is being used towards 
current operating costs, payment of regulatory dues, trade creditors, initial infrastructure development and upgrading 
of existing facilities at the BBM mine site.

Review of Operations 
Conversion of Vendor Payment to Royalty 

As part of the Group’s acquisition of its interest in the BBM project, it was agreed that an amount of US$10.0 million would 
be payable within 30 days of the issue of the Production/ Operations IUP (mining license granted under the Indonesian New 
Mining  Law).  On  1  May  2013,  the  Production/Operations  IUP  was  granted  but  the  payment  to  the  vendor  was  deferred 
pending  the  issuance  of  the  Forestry  Production  Permit  (required  to  commence  the  construction  and  production).  On  15 
August 2015, Cokal received BBM’s Forestry Production Permit.  

On 3 March 2016, the Group executed a variation letter with the vendor whereby the parties agreed the obligation for $10.0 
million payment would be triggered when Cokal had sufficient funds for commencement of the construction/ development of 
the BBM project.  

During  the  year  the  Company  entered  into  a  further  agreement  with  the  vendor  of  BBM  for  vendor  payments  due  on 
commencement of production.  It has now been agreed that an amount of US$10.5 million will be paid via:  

1.  US$200,000 within 30 days of signing the agreement;  

2.  During the first and second year of coal sales to a third party, monthly at a rate of US$2 per tonne of coal sold;  

3.  From the third year of coal sales to a third party, monthly at a rate of US$3 per tonne of coal sold.  

Payments under items 2 and 3 are to total US$10.3 million. 

Company Secretary 

The Company appointed Ms Yuan Yuan (Miranda) as joint Company Secretary during the year.  

COVID-19 

Both Indonesian and Australian operations have responded to the COVID-19 virus pandemic. Staff and contractors have 
been minimally impacted and operations continue as planned.  There have been some delays with finalising contracts 
due to travel restrictions, with analysis of contractor bids for mining operations and finalisation of the infrastructure 
agreement with China Rail delayed. 

The Company has a focus on the well-being of its staff, contractors and the broader community and has implemented 
measures  to  ensure  their  well-being  including;  health  screening  and  temperature  monitoring,  spatial  distancing 
protocols, a high level of hygiene, change in flow of staff to and from the local community, and the minimisation of staff 
in the Jakarta and Sydney administrative offices.

projects  in  developing  countries  and  also  specialised  in 
deep  mines  in  soft  saturated  strata.  Mr  Coleman  was 
responsible for the development of Thailand’s 14 million 
tonnes  per  annum  coal  mine  which  feeds  directly  into

to use shallow-river barging on the Barito River to deliver 
the  coking  coal  in  good  condition  to  the  nearby  Asian 
market place.  

Through the 1980s and 1990s, he owned and managed a

Directors' Report  

Business Results 
The prospects of the Group in developing its properties in 
Indonesia may be affected by a number of factors.  These 
factors are similar to most exploration companies moving 
through  the  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 
they  may  be 
local 
significantly  delayed  enabling 
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.  

in  relation  to 

Environmental Issues 
The  consolidated  entity  is  subject  to  environmental 
regulation 
its  exploration  activities. 
Indonesia where the Group’s main project is located in 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  and  Management 
(the Environment Law).  There are no matters that have 
arisen in relation to environmental issues up to the date 
of this report.  
Non-Audit Services 
No  non-audit  services  were  provided  by  Cokal’s  auditor, 
Hall  Chadwick  during  the  financial  year  ended  30  June 
2020 (2019: Nil). 
Remuneration Report (Audited)  
This remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2020 
outlines the remuneration arrangements of the Group in 
accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 
2001  (the  Act)  and  its  regulations.  This  information  has 
been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Act. 

The  remuneration  report  details  the  remuneration 
arrangements for key management personnel (KMP) who 
are  defined  as  those  persons  having  authority  and 
responsibility  for  planning,  directing  and  controlling  the 
major  activities  of  the  Group,  directly  or  indirectly, 
including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of 
the consolidated entity.  

For  the  purposes  of  this  report,  the  term  “executive” 
includes  the  Chief  Executive  Officer,  directors  and  other 
senior management executives of the Group.  

Remuneration report approval at FY19 AGM 
The  remuneration  report  for  the  2019  financial  year 
received positive shareholder support with proxy votes of 
92.8% in favour (of shares voted). 

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 a Remuneration and 
Nomination  Committee.  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  committee  at  this  time.  All  matters 
which  might  be  dealt  with  by  such  a  committee  are 
reviewed by the directors meeting as a Board.

The  Board, 
Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee,  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.

Directors' Report  

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. 

The  Constitution  of  Cokal  Limited  and  the  ASX  Listing  Rules  specify  that  the  non-executive  directors  are  entitled  to 
remuneration as determined by the consolidated entity in a general meeting to be apportioned among them in such manner 
as  the  Directors  agree  and,  in  default  of  agreement,  equally.  The  aggregate  remuneration  currently  determined  by  Cokal 
Limited is AU$500,000 per annum. Additionally, 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 non-executive directors. A non-executive director is entitled 
to be paid travel and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending directors’ or general meetings of Cokal Limited 
or otherwise in connection with the business of the consolidated entity. 

The remuneration of the non-executive directors for the year ending 30 June 2020 is detailed in this Remuneration Report.

Executive Directors and Senior Management Remuneration 
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 so as to:

• 
•  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. 

link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the consolidated entity; and 

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  performance,  relevant  comparative 
remuneration in the market and internal, and where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices.   

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  issue  of  shares  following  the  completion  of 
satisfactory time periods of service. The consolidated entity uses employee continuity of service and the future share price to 
align comparative shareholder return and reward for executives. 

The remuneration of the Executive Directors and senior management for the year ending 30 June 2020 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  and 
development within the Central Kalimantan coking coal basin in Indonesia. 

The following table shows the performances of the consolidated entity for the last five years: 

Year-end (30 June)

There were no dividends paid during the year. 

As  the  consolidated  entity  was  still  in  the  exploration  and  development  stage  during  the  financial  year,  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 as such increases or decreases may occur quite 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.

For personal use onlyNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
for the year ended 30 June 2020 

Note 1:  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 
(a)  General information 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Cokal  Limited  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2020  were  authorised  for  issue  in 
accordance with a resolution of the Directors dated 30 September 2020 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 (“US$” or “US$”).  

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  
At 30 June 2020, the Group’s current liabilities exceed the current assets by US$16,649,675 (30 June 2019: US$17,248,643). 
This position is due to: 
• 
• 

Commission payable (refer note 13) of US$9,261,535 being a current liability;  
The classification of the Group’s liability with PT Bara Mineral Asri (BMA Group) (refer note 15) of $2,000,000 as a 
current liability; and 
The Group’s arrears of trade and other payables.  A significant number of the Group’s creditors, including the directors, 
are providing informal financial support to the entity. 

• 

On 22 July 2016, Cokal announced it had reached an agreement with Platinum Partners for the conversion of all outstanding 
loans owing to them to production royalties. The royalties will be payable on 1% of the realised selling price of coal (FOB) from 
the Bumi Barito Mineral Project (BBM) and PT Tambang Benua Alam Raya (TBAR) projects up to a maximum of US$40 million. 
Under the arrangement, no minimum royalty is payable and the royalty is only payable as and when coal is mined and sold.  

On 29 April 2017, the Group entered into a Royalty Deed with Platinum Partners (refer note 15) to convert all outstanding 
loans owing to them to production royalties (this formalised the agreement on 22 July 2016) subject to certain conditions 
precedent.  

In May 2020 the Company  consented to the assignment of the Platinum Partners debt to Alpine Holdings Limited on the basis 
that the debt was discharged and new royalty /commission payment terms agreed. 

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 as a going concern is impacted by a number of matters including:

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
for the year ended 30 June 2020 

(c) Going concern (Cont’d) 

• 

• 

• 

The continued financial support of management and directors who have provided short term loans to the Group and/or 
have agreed to not require the Group to pay amounts owing to them until such time as cash flows are generated by the 
BBM project or have otherwise agreed to have the amounts payable to them satisfied by way of a share issue (subject 
to shareholder approval); 
The continued willingness of creditors to extend payment terms to the Group until such time as cash flow are generated 
by the BBM project; and 
The successful raising of sufficient funding, through debt, equity or other arrangements (or a combination of 
transactions) to progress the development of the larger BBM project, including meeting capital expenditure and 
working capital requirements, until such time as the project is in production and its revenues from coal sales are 
sufficient to meet its cash outflows.  

Should these avenues be delayed or fail to materialize, the Group has some ability to scale back its activities to help the Group 
to  manage  to  meet  its  debts  as  and  when  they  fall  due  in  the  short  term.  However,  should  the  above  matters  not  be 
successfully resolved, the Group may not be able to continue as a going concern. 

Importantly, the Group’s significant arrears of trade and other payables means it’s ability to continue as a going concern is 
dependent  on  creditors,  including  management  and  the  directors,  extending  payment  terms,  providing  informal  financial 
support and not demanding payment of amounts owed to them in excess of the Group’s available funds at the time. At the 
date of this report, no creditor or lender of the Group, including Platinum Partners, have made demands for payment.  

The Directors are confident, given the current permitting and financing processes being undertaken and announced to the 
market, that the Group will be successful in its endeavours to develop the larger BBM project. The directors believe that the 
commencement of operations at the BBM project (and the forecast generating of operating cash inflows) in conjunction with 
planned  capital  raisings  will  enable  it  to  satisfy  its  working  capital  requirements  (including  its  arrears  of  trade  and  other 
payables). This being the case, the directors have a reasonable expectation that given the status of the current permitting and 
financing processes, the Group’s creditors will continue to extend payment terms, provide informal financial support and not 
demand payment of amounts owed to them in excess of the Group’s available funds. As a result, the financial report has been 
prepared on a going concern basis. 

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 to enable it to 
realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. 

(d)  New accounting standards and interpretations 
The Group has implemented one new Accounting Standard that is applicable for the current reporting period. 
The Group had to change its accounting policies and make adjustments as a result of adopting AASB 16: Leases.  The impact of the 
adoption of the standard and the respective accounting policy is disclosed below. 
(i) Leases 
Initial application of AASB 16 
The Group has adopted AASB 16: Leases retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying AASB 16 recognised at 1 July 
2019. In accordance with AASB 16, the comparatives for the 30 June 2019 reporting period have not been restated. 

The Group has recognised a lease liability and right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term and low-value leases) 
recognised as operating leases under AASB 117: Leases where the Group is the lessee.  

The lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments. The Group's incremental borrowing rate as 
at 1 July 2019 was used to discount the lease payments. 

The right-of-use asset for manufacturing equipment was measured at its carrying amount as if AASB 16 had been applied since the 
commencement date, but discounted using the Group's incremental borrowing rate per lease term as at 1 July 2019. 

The right-of-use assets for the remaining leases were measured and recognised in the statement of financial position as at 1 July 
2019 by taking into consideration the lease liability and prepaid and accrued lease payments previously recognised as at 1 January 
2019 (that are related to the lease).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 

(d) New accounting standards and interpretations (Cont’d)

The following practical expedients have been used by the Group in applying AASB 16 for the first time: 

•

•

•

•

•

for a portfolio of leases that have reasonably similar characteristics, a single discount rate has been applied;

leases that have a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 2019 have been accounted for in the 
same way as short-term leases;

the use of hindsight to determine lease terms on contracts that have options to extend or terminate;

applying  AASB  16  to  leases  previously  identified  as  leases  under  AASB  117  and  Interpretation  4:  Determining 
whether an arrangement contains a lease without reassessing whether they are, or contain, a lease at the date of 
initial application; and 

not applying AASB 16 to leases previously not identified as containing a lease under AASB 117 and Interpretation 4.

Adjustments recognised in the balance sheet as at 1 July 2019 
The following summary indicates the adjustments and reclassifications of financial statement line item in the balance 
sheet due to the implementation of AASB 16.

Measurement of right of use assets  
The associated right of use assets for property leases were measured on a retrospective basis as if the new rules had always 
been applied. Other right-of-use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of 
any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the balance sheet as at 30 June 2019. 

(ii) Changes in accounting policy and disclosures
The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet
effective.

(iii) Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective 
The  Group  has  adopted  all  the  mandatory  new  and  amended  Accounting  Standards  issued  that  are  relevant  to  its
operations and effective for the current reporting period. There was no material impact on the financial report as a result
of the mandatory new and amended Accounting Standards adopted.

for the year ended 30 June 2020 

(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. 

(f)  Revenue recognition 

Sale of coal 
The Group has determined that revenue from the sale of coal is recorded when delivered to the customer (being the point at 
which control passes to the customer). At this point, the Group has satisfied all its performance obligations under the sales 
agreement with the customer. The revenue is recognised at 100% of the sale value, calculated based on the tonnes supplied 
at the contracted price per tonne (adjusted for any known quality penalties). 

Interest income 
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest rate method. This is a method of calculating the 
amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, 
which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the 
net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
for the year ended 30 June 2020 

(g)  Income tax 
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. 

(h)  Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill 
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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
for the year ended 30 June 2020 

(i)  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. 

(j)  Financial instruments  
Financial Instruments 
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. 

Recognition and Initial Measurement of financial assets 
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics 
and the Group’s business model for managing them. The Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the 
case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. In order for a financial asset to be classified 
and measured at amortised cost it needs to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ 
on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. 
The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate 
cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the 
financial assets, or both. 

Subsequent Measurement of financial assets  
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments) is the most relevant to the Group. The Group measures financial assets 
at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:  

• 

• 

The  financial  asset  is  held  within  a  business  model  with  the  objective  to  hold  financial  assets  in  order  to  collect 
contractual cash flows; and  

The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of 
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding  

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to 
impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired. 

Impairment of financial assets 
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through 
profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and 
all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The 
expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to 
the contractual terms. 

Derecognition of financial assets 
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily 
derecognised (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.

Financial instruments (cont’d) 

(j) 
Financial liabilities  
A  financial  liability  is  a  contractual  obligation  to  deliver  cash  or  another  financial  asset  or  to  exchange  financial  assets  or 
financial liabilities under unfavourable conditions.  

Recognition and Initial Measurement of financial liabilities 
Financial  liabilities  are  classified,  at  initial  recognition,  as  financial  liabilities  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss,  loans  and 
borrowings or as payables. 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 including bank overdrafts, and derivative financial instruments. 

Subsequent Measurement of financial liabilities 
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 derecognised 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 as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.   

Derecognition of financial liabilities 
A  financial  liability  is  derecognised  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 derecognition of the original 
liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement 
of profit or loss. 

(k)  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. 

(l)  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.

for the year ended 30 June 2020 

(l)  Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure (cont’d) 
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. 

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, then 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

(l)  Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure (cont’d) 
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. 

(m)  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. 

(n)  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. 

(o)  Issued capital 
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.  

(p)  Share-based payments 
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.

(q)  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. 

(r)  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. 

(s)  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. 

 Fair value measurement 

(t) 
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

for the year ended 30 June 2020 

(t)  Fair value measurement (cont’d) 
• 

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. 

(u)  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. 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. 

(v)  Leases 
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses if the contract contains or is a lease. If there is a lease present, a right-of-use 
asset and a corresponding lease liability is recognised by the Group where the Group is a lessee. However, all contracts that 
are classified as short-term leases (ie a lease with a remaining lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets 
are recognised as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. 

Initially, the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments still to be paid at commencement date. The 
lease payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group 
uses the incremental borrowing rate. 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are as follows: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

fixed lease payments less any lease incentives; 

variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement 
date; 

the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; 

the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; 

lease payments under extension options, if lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and 

payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease. 

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability as mentioned above, any lease payments 
made at or before the commencement date, as well as any initial direct costs. The subsequent measurement of the right-of-use 
assets is at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset, whichever is the shortest. Where a lease 
transfers ownership of the underlying asset, or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group anticipates to exercise a 
purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. 

(w)  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.  

(x)   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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
for the year ended 30 June 2020 

(x)  Current versus non-current classification (cont’d) 
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. 

(y)  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 estimate 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, or Enterprise Value (EV) that the market participants willing to pay for acquisition of the Group’s shares. 

(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) 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 23.

(y)   Critical accounting estimates and judgments (cont’d) 

(v)  Joint arrangements 

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). 

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.  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.

On 29 April 2017, the Group entered into a Royalty Deed with Platinum Partners to convert all outstanding loans owing to 
them to production royalties (this formalised the agreement on 22 July 2016) subject to certain conditions precedent. In 
November 2018, the Company entered into a further agreement with Platinum Partners, the effect of which confirmed 
Cokal’s satisfaction with a number of the conditions precedent to the Royalty Deed and extended the date for meeting all 
of the remaining conditions precedent (the “Subsequent Conditions”) under the Royalty Deed for conversion of two-thirds 
of the Platinum Loans (being $9,261,535).  In addition, under the agreement when Cokal cancels and reissues 37.5 million 
options to Platinum Partners, one-third of the Group’s debt with Platinum Partners, being $4,630,767, is discharged and 
released.   The cancellation and reissue of the 37.5 million options occurred on 10 January 2019, at which time one-third 
of the debt was discharged and released and a corresponding gain recognised in the Group’s statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income. During May 2020 the Company consented to the assignment of the Platinum Partners 
loan to Alpine Invest Holdings Ltd (Alpine).  It was agreed as a term of the consent to the assignment that immediately 
upon transfer of the Platinum Partners loans to Alpine, that the loans are deemed released and Alpine discharges and 
releases Cokal and each Cokal Group Company from their liability to make payment of the Platinum Partners loans totalling 
$9,261,535 on the following terms: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

each of the Subsequent Conditions is irrevocably satisfied or otherwise waived;  

the royalty payable to Alpine under the Royalty Deed will be the greater of:  

1.  USD 10,000 per month; and  

2.  USD 2.00 per tonne of coal sold by BBM and TBAR on a monthly basis;  

the maximum royalty payment of USD 40million payable under the Royalty Deed remains the same and will be 
payable through the first 20 million tonnes of coal produced and sold by both BBM and TBAR; and  

all other conditions stated in the Royalty Deed remain the same.  

The Group previously recognised a share based payment expense for fair value (at grant date) of the 75 million options 
granted to Platinum Partners as part consideration for the execution of the Royalty Deed.  The Group has recorded a 
further share based payment expense of $1,003,561 in respect of the incremental fair value of the 37.5 million new options 
granted to Platinum Partners as part of the November 2018 amendment to the Royalty Deed.  This expense is reported 
separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended June 2019.  

Note 3: Dividends and Franking Credits 
There were no dividends paid or recommended during the financial year (30 June 2019: Nil). 
There were no franking credits available to the shareholders of the Group (30 June 2019: Nil).

The carried forward tax losses and temporary differences not recognised as deferred tax assets as at 30 June 2020 were 
US$45,223,281 (30 June 2019: US$36,148,760) and US$nil (30 June 2019:US$nil) 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 2020 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

Recoverability of the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the successful development and commercial

Historically, the Group has determined the recoverable amount of the BBM project using the Fair Value Less Cost of Disposal (FVLCD) 
methodology considering the Group as a single cash generating unit (consistent with the Group’s primary focus on the BBM project 
and this being the only asset in respect of which E&E is carried forward). The FVLCD was determined using Enterprise Value (EV). EV 
is implied by Cokal’s market capitalisation plus a control premium. The fair value measurement is categorised under Level 3 of the 
fair value hierarchy (refer note 1 (t)).  

At 30 June 2020, the Fair Value less Cost of Disposal (FVCLD) of the Group’s two areas of interest was measured with respect to the 
Group’s market capitalisation. At that time, the Group’s market capitalisation exceeded the carrying amount of its net asset. 

Given  the  presence  of  the  two  areas  of  interest,  the  FVLCD  implied  by  the  Group’s  Enterprise  Value  did  not  provide  a  precise 
evaluation of the FVLCD of the distinct areas of interest.  This being the case, the Group also had reference to an Independent Study 
of all of Cokal’s tenement interests prepared in accordance with the Valmin Code as at 30 June 2017 (released on 23 August 2017).  
The Independent Study provided an estimate of value (in accordance with the Valmin Code) of BBM and TBAR.  The Independent 
Study estimated the value of BBM using a discounted cash flow method and assessed the value of TBAR with reference to a resource 
multiple ($ per tonne of in-situ resource tonnes).  The Valmin Code valuation is a proxy for FVLCD under AASB 136 and would be 
categorised under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy (refer note 1 (v)).  Based on the combined impact of the EV assessment 
and Independent Study the Group is satisfied no further impairment was required at 30 June 2020.  

In addition, given the AASB 6 impairment indicator identified by the Group was associated with its intention and ability to spend 
substantial amounts on the continued exploration and evaluation of the areas of interest, the Group’s continued funding issues (refer 
note 1(c)) means there is no current indication previously recorded impairments in respect of both BBM and TBAR should be reversed.

Commission payable 
Conversion of loans from Northrock and Wintercrest to royalties / commission payable 
On July 2016, Cokal announced it had reached an agreement with Platinum Partners for the conversion of all outstanding 
loans owing under the Wintercrest and Norfolk facilities to production royalties. The royalties will be payable on 1% of the 
realised selling price of coal (FOB) from the Bumi Barito Mineral Project (BBM) and PT Tambang Benua Alam Raya (TBAR) 
projects up to a maximum of US$40 million. Under the arrangement, no minimum royalty is payable and the royalty is only 
payable as and when coal is mined and sold.  

On  29  April  2017,  the  Group  entered  into  a  Royalty  Deed  with  Wintercrest  and  Northrock  (collectively  the  “Lenders”)  to 
convert all outstanding loans owing to them to production royalties. The Royalty Deed is subject to a number of substantive 
conditions precedent. The conditions precedent include:  

a) The completion of legal and commercial due diligence by the Lenders’;  

b) Approval by Cokal’s shareholders;  

c) The Lenders being provided security in the form of a first legal charge under a deed of charge, over all of Cokal’s interest in the 
BBM and TBAR projects, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders, to protect the interest of the Lenders in the royalties;  

d) Cokal evidencing to the satisfaction of the Lenders (in their sole discretion) it has completed a capital raising (debt, equity or a 
combination) to support the production of at least 100 ktpa of coal;  

e) Cokal evidencing to the satisfaction of the Lenders (in their sole discretion) that:  

i. Cokal’s production is not less than 8500 tonnes per month for a period of six (6) consecutive months;  

ii. Cokal’s production for three (3) months from the date of first production is not less than the monthly equivalent of 
100ktpa;  

provided the above three and six month period occur with 18 months of the Group satisfying the condition in (d) above; and  

f) The Lenders have received and approved all financial budgets anticipated to meet the production targets in (d) and (e) above.  

On 20 February 2018, the Company issued 75 million Options to the Platinum Entities with an expiry date of 20 February 2023 
and an exercise price of 1.6 cents (Existing Platinum Options). Each Existing Platinum Option vested once all the Platinum 
Loans were released and discharged.

Advisors LLC (the Platinum Entities) in respect of loans outstanding totalling US$13.89 million (Platinum Loans). The agreement 
confirmed Cokal’s satisfaction with or waiver of the conditions precedent (a) to (d) above and extended the date for meeting 
all  of  the  remaining  conditions  precedent,  being  (e)  and  (f)  (the  “Subsequent  Conditions”)  under  the  Royalty  Deed  for 
conversion of two thirds of the Platinum Loans to 31 July 2020. In addition, the amended agreement provided that when Cokal 
cancels and reissues 37.5 million options to Platinum Partners, one third of the of the Group’s debt with Platinum Partners is 
discharged and released. The cancellation and reissue of the 37.5 million options occurred on 10 January 2019, at which time 
one third of the debt was discharged and released.  

During May 2020 the Company consented to the assignment of the Platinum Loans to Alpine Invest Holdings Ltd (Alpine).  It 
was agreed as a term of the consent to the assignment that immediately upon transfer of the Platinum Loans to Alpine, that 
the loans are deemed released and Alpine discharges and releases Cokal and each Cokal Group Company from their liability 
to make payment of the Platinum Loans totalling $9,261,535 on the following terms: 
• 
each of the Subsequent Conditions is irrevocably satisfied or otherwise waived;  
• 
the royalty payable to Alpine under the Royalty Deed will be the greater of: 

1.  USD 10,000 per month; and  
2.  USD 2.00 per tonne of coal sold by BBM and TBAR on a monthly basis;

# These loans payable to directors and employees are non-interest bearing and repayable on demand. 

BMA Group loan 
On 21 September 2018, Cokal signed a Key Principles of Agreement with PT Bara Mineral Asri (BMA Group) to develop and 
operate PCI and Coking Coal operations at the BBM Project. Cokal received US$2.0 million loan from BMA Group to secure the 
transaction but the BMA Group failed to complete the other funding conditions set out in the Key Principles of Agreement and 
has also failed to document the loan arrangement with the Group. Therefore, the Group has assessed the loan is repayable 
on demand and has been disclosed at the face value of the amounts received. It has been agreed that the liability will be 
repaid based on US$ 10 per tonne, if the coal price is greater than US$ 110 per tonne, or 10 % of the coal price if less than US$ 
110 per tonne. 

Platinum Partners / Northrock Facility 
Under terms of various short-term loan facility agreements and a bridging loan facility agreement dated August 2015, the 
Group has borrowed a total of US$10.065 million from various subsidiaries of Platinum Partners. At 30 June 2020, the full 
amount of the loan is due and payable to Northrock Financial LLC (“Northrock”), being a subsidiary of Platinum Partners.

Settlement Agreement with Blumont, pursuant to which the Blumont loan was assigned in full to Wintercrest. As a result, 
Wintercrest replaced Blumont as the lender under its facility agreement.

Note 25:  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.  

(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:

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.  Regular financial updates are received by the Board, 
including financial forecasts of expenditure.  The Board maintains a standing item in its Board meetings relating to the Group’s 
funding with discussion and updates of various options and progression of funding provided regularly.

(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:

The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk.  This sensitivity demonstrates 
the effect on the current period results and equity which could result from a change in these risks.  

At 30 June 2020 the effect on post tax profit and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate for floating interest rate 
instruments, with all other variables held constant, would be as follows:

(ii) Currency risk 
Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating due 
to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Group hold financial instruments which are other than 
the US$ functional currency of the Group. 

The Group is exposed to currency risk on its cash and cash equivalents held (in AUD and Indonesian Rupiah) in Indonesia 
and Australia as well as on purchases made from suppliers in Indonesia and Australia.

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis of Opinion 
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require 
that  we  comply  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.  Our  responsibilities  under  those  standards  are  further  described  in  the 
Auditor’s  responsibility  section  of  our  report.  We  are  independent  of  the  Company  in  accordance 
with  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  the  ethical  requirements  of  the  Accounting  Professional  and 
Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that 
are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical 
responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion. 

Emphasis of Matter – Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern 
We draw attention to Note 1(c) in the financial report, which indicates that the group incurred a net 
loss  of  $2,573,822 during the  year  ended  30 June  2020  and,  as of  that  date, the  group’s  current 
liabilities  exceeded  its  current  assets  by  $16,649,675.  As  stated  in  Note  1(c),  these  events  or 
conditions,  along  with  other  matters  as  set  forth  in  Note  1(c)  indicate  the  existence  of  a  material 
uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s ability to continue as a going concern. 
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters 
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance 
in our audit of the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020. These matters were addressed 
in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and 
we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

the Key Audit Matter 

Carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets 
Refer to Note 11 Exploration expenditure and Note 1(y) Critical accounting estimates and judgements 

At  30  June  2020,  the  group  had  capitalised 
exploration expenditure  assets  of  $25,232,849. 
The  group’s  accounting  policy  in  respect  of 
exploration,  evaluation  and  development 
expenditure is outlined in Note 1(l).

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon 
The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the 
information  included  in  the  group’s  annual  report  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2020  but  does  not 
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does 
not  cover  the  other  information  and  accordingly  we  do  not  express  any  form  of  assurance 
conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read 
the  other  information  and,  in  doing  so,  consider  whether  the  other  information  is  materially 
inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to 
be  materially  misstated.  If,  based  on  the  work  we  have  performed,  we  conclude  that  there  is  a 
material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing 
to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF 
COKAL LIMITED  
AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a 
true  and  fair  view  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  the  Corporations  Act 
2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation 
of  the  financial  report  that  gives  a  true  and  fair  view  and  is  free  from  material  misstatement, 
whether due to fraud or error.  

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group 
to  continue  as  a  going  concern,  disclosing,  as  applicable,  matters  related  to  going  concern  and 
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group 
or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Report 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is 
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that 
includes  our  opinion.  Reasonable  assurance  is  a  high  level  of  assurance,  but  is  not  a  guarantee 
that  an  audit  conducted  in  accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards  will  always  detect  a 
material  misstatement  when  it  exists.  Misstatements  can  arise  from  fraud  or  error  and  are 
considered  material  if,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  they  could  reasonably  be  expected  to 
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.  

As  part  of  an  audit  in  accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards,  we  exercise  professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 
- 

Identify  and  assess  the  risks of  material misstatement  of  the  financial  report,  whether  due  to 
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit 
evidence  that  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  opinion.  The  risk  of  not 
detecting  a  material  misstatement  resulting  from  fraud  is  higher  than  for  one  resulting  from 
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the 
override of internal control. 

-  Obtain  an  understanding  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  audit  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 group’s internal control. 

- 

Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of 
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 

-  Conclude on the appropriateness of the director’s use of the going concern basis of accounting 
and,  based  on  the  audit  evidence  obtained,  whether  a  material  uncertainty  exists  related  to 
events  or  conditions  that  may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  group’s  ability  to  continue  as  a 
going  concern.  If  we  conclude  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are  required  to  draw 
attention  in  our  auditor’s  report  to  the  related  disclosures  in  the  financial  report  or,  if  such 
disclosures  are  inadequate,  to  modify  our  opinion.  Our  conclusions  are  based  on  the  audit 
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions 
may cause the group to cease to continue as a going concern. 

- 

Evaluate  the  overall  presentation,  structure  and  content  of  the  financial  report,  including  the 
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events 
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF 
COKAL LIMITED  
AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES 

-  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or 
business  activities  within  the  group  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial  report.  We  are 
responsible  for  the  direction,  supervision  and  performance  of  the  group  audit.  We  remain 
solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

We  communicate  with  the  directors  regarding,  amongst  other  matters,  the  planned  scope  and 
timing  of  the  audit  and  significant  audit  findings,  including  any  significant  deficiencies  in  internal 
control that we identify during our audit. 

We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements  regarding  independence,  and  to  communicate  with  them  all  relationships  and  other 
matters  that  may  reasonably  be  thought  to  bear  on  our  independence,  and  where  applicable, 
related safeguards. 

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance  in  the  audit  of  the  financial  report  of  the  current  period  and  are  therefore  key  audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public 
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter 
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would 
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 
We have audited the remuneration report included in pages 17 to 22 of the directors’ report for the 
year ended 30 June 2020.  

In our opinion, the remuneration report of Cokal Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2020, complies 
with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Responsibilities 
The  directors  of  the  company  are  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  presentation  of  the 
remuneration report in accordance with s 300A of the  Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is 
to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with 
Australian Auditing Standards.
