Chairman’s Report

On  behalf  of  the  Board  of  Intra  Energy  Corporation  Limited  ("IEC"  or  "the  Company"),  it  is  my  pleasure  to
present the Annual Financial Report for 2014.

Intra  Energy  is  the  major producer  of  coal  in  the  Eastern  Africa  region  and  is  developing  quality  regional
thermal  coal  supply  to  industries  as  well  as  developing  coal-fired  power  station  projects  to  increase  its  coal
supply. The Eastern Africa region is one of the most rapidly growing areas in the world today and is undergoing
an industrial transformation which is being constrained by lack of reliable electricity. There is little competition
to IEC's coal supply and the reliability of production and supply has been instrumental in increasing its market
share. Production costs are in the lowest quartile with the coal not requiring beneficiation and low overburden
to  coal  ratios.  IEC  is  therefore  not  directly  affected  by  world  coal  prices  nor  negative  international  trading
parameters. Despite a declining share price reflective of coal stocks internationally, IEC is not comparable to
Australian circumstances as it operates only in dynamic Eastern Africa, with increasing efficiency and expanding
market share.

Over  the  last  year,  the  mining  operations increased  sales  by  57%,  from  121,026  tonnes  in  2013  to  189,597
tonnes in 2014. The current order book continues to strengthen and diversify, geographically supplying 30% of
coal outside of Tanzania (25% to Kenya) and broadening further the customer base to  cement, textiles, paper,
ceramic, lime and steel industries.  Sales to international and regional cement producers alone account for 62%
of current sales.

IEC’s mining operations, Tancoal in Tanzania and Malcoal in Malawi are in remote locations, hence every effort
has been made to improve efficiencies and reduce costs. Emphasis has been placed on procurement of spare
parts  by  the  mining  company,  increasing  operating  efficiencies and  control  of  maintenance  functions  to
enhance performance.

While the prospects for IEC are improving, the 2014 financial year showed a very disappointing loss of $20.8
million, deteriorating the financial position of the Group.  A significant contributor to this loss was the Board
taking  the  prudent  decision  to  impair  the  Special  Mining  Licence  of  IEC’s  subsidiary,  Tanzacoal  East  Africa
Mining  Limited  (“Tanzacoal”) by $13.4 million due  to  the  revocation  of  its  Mining Licence  235/2005 via
cancellation  by  the  Minister  of  Energy  and  Minerals  in  April  2014. Tanzacoal  had  developed  a  trial  mining
operation and produced samples of the coal for testing and had determined that the coal was only suitable for
power generation. IEC has commenced legal proceedings and will explore all options to protect its interests and
reach a suitable settlement to this issue.

The  trading  loss  of  $7.4 million  for  FY14  was  influenced  by  transport  workers  strikes  and  a  wet  season
impacting  transport  of  coal  in  Tanzania.  The  Presidential  Election  in  May  in  Malawi  disrupted  sales  in  that
country,  with  minimal  sales  during  and  shortly  after  the  election  period. The  Malawi  election  proceeded
peacefully and is a credit to the democratisation of the nation.

The Company  continued  to  expand  its  resource  base,  announcing  a  maiden  JORC  compliant  resource  of  62
million tonnes in Malawi, which adds to the 423 million tonne resource at the Tancoal Mining area in Tanzania.
Both  resources  comprise  good  quality  thermal  coal,  which  is  sufficiently  low  in  ash  content  to  not  require
beneficiation.

IEC continues to sponsor the development of the 120MW "Pamodzi" coal-fired power  station in Malawi and
entered  into  a  Memorandum  of  Understanding in  April  2014  to  progress  a  joint  venture  agreement  with
Endeavor Energy  Power  Holdings  Limited, a  USA  based  independent  power  project  development  company
focused  on  Pan  African  energy  generation  projects and who  are supported  by  leading  global  energy  private
equity firm, Denham Capital.

Whilst  IEC  experienced  a  delay  caused  by  the  Malawi  election,  the  new  Government  continues to  strongly
support the project as it seeks to diversify its energy sources and also satisfy its growing demand for energy.
The  Company  is  working  in  partnership  with  Endeavor  to  progress  Project  Pamodzi  to  financial  close  and  to
complete the negotiations with the Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (ESCOM) to conclude terms for a
Power Purchase Agreement.

The 200MW mine mouth coal-fired power station originally proposed to the Tanzania Electric Supply Company
Limited (“TANESCO”) and the Government of Tanzania is currently on hold as IEC and the Government review
options to reduce the gap in the proposed tariff.

Chairman’s Report

With  assistance  from  the  Australian  Government's  Direct  Grants  and  funding  from  Tancoal,  the  Company  in
Tanzania  continued  the  development  of the  local  Women's  Group  aiming  to  establish  various  activities  for
women  to  manage  their  own  businesses  in  a  sustainable  manner.  Additional  assistance  was  provided  for
refurbishing  a  primary  school  and  transport  provisions  to  regional  security  forces  and  police  are  ongoing
projects. In Malawi, Malcoal is training employees from the local community and employing a large proportion
of females as operators - unique in the African mining industry. Despite a difficult year, IEC has made significant
progress in developing  its  market and has substantially increased both contracted sales and production over
the past year.  The target next year is to increase production and sales while improving mining efficiency and
operating profitability to support mine expansion and the power generation initiatives.

Sincerely

Graeme Robertson
Executive Chairman – Intra Energy Corporation Limited

Review of Operations

MINING OPERATIONS

TANCOAL (TANZANIA)

IEC’s  100%  owned  subsidiary, Intra  Energy  Tanzania  Limited  (“IETL”),  owns  a  70%  interest  in  Tancoal  Energy
Limited  (“Tancoal”),  a  joint  venture  with  the  National  Development  Corporation  of  Tanzania  (“NDC”), which
holds the remaining 30% interest. Tancoal was granted a Mining Licence (“ML”) by the Tanzanian Government
on 18 August 2011 and commenced mining and supply of coal to domestic and regional industrial customers in
Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia and Malawi. Sales increased across the Eastern African region, including trials
to Zambia and new customers in Kenya. Marketing is underway to secure new markets in Rwanda.

IEC’s flagship project, the Tancoal Mine, is a project of national significance, and remains the major operating
coal mine in Tanzania.

Mining  operations  continue  to  focus  on  efficiency,  reducing  wastage,  improving  machinery  performance,
labour productivity and matching production to contracted sales.

Current production capacity is circa 450,000 tonnes per annum. Upgrades in equipment and processes target
720,000 tonnes per annum to support the anticipated increase in sales volumes in FY15.  As at 30 June 2014,
approximately 34,000 tonnes was held in stockpiles.

A  mining  and  operations  efficiency  study  was  undertaken  during  the  year resulting  in  a  wide  range  of
recommendations  in  the  areas  of  mine  planning,  scheduling  and  processing,  which  continue  to  be
implemented, lowering costs of production.

Coal quality has consistently met with client specifications, and resulted in Tancoal being the preferred supplier
over coal imported from South Africa.

A  two  phase  logistics  plan  is  being  developed  at  the  Tancoal  operations.  Product  coal  is distributed  from  a
stockpile at Kitai, some 50 kilometres from the mine pit.  It is trucked to this location.

The first part of the plan is an expansion of the Kitai stockyard, which commenced in the last quarter of FY14,
and  will  be  completed  early  in  FY15.    It  will  increase  the  storage  and  loading  capacity  of  the  yard,  loading
efficiencies and improve safety and environmental standards.

The second phase of the plan is to assess the benefits of a new haul road, which will connect the Tancoal Mine
to the major roads in the region and allow the direct loading of customer trucks nearer to the Tancoal Mine,
resulting in transport cost savings.

MALCOAL (MALAWI)

Malcoal Mining Limited (“Malcoal”) is a joint venture between IEC and its local partner, Consolidated Mining
Industries Limited (“CMI”). Malcoal is an important part of IEC’s Eastern African strategy to be the dominant
coal supplier in the region.

SALES SUMMARY

Coal Sold (tonnes)

FY14

Malcoal moved from a contract mining arrangement to using equipment under its own control during the year.
Operations utilising this equipment commenced in the second quarter of FY14 though was delayed by the
delivery of all equipment.  The equipment includes a dozer, excavator, wheel loader, trucks, crushing and
screening plant and a weighbridge.

Significant coal quality assurance work has been conducted at the mine, improving acceptance of the product
in the Malawian market.

Some infrastructure  was upgraded during the year, allowing for year round access.  Additional works  will be
undertaken in FY15 to improve hauling efficiencies.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT (“OHSE”)

OHSE  is an important  priority  for  IEC,  and  is  planned  at  a  policy  level  in  Dar  es  Salaam  and  managed  and
implemented at the mine sites.

Unfortunately  a  fatality  occurred  at  the  Tancoal  mine  site  during  the  financial  year,  involving  a  vehicle
accident. Two lost time injuries also occurred. Thorough investigations were undertaken and recommended
actions put in place. IEC is ensuring that on-going improvements to safety are being made, and during the year
employee alcohol testing and medical examinations were two of the initiatives implemented.

Each mine operation is subject to an Environmental Impact Assessment Plan and the operations are regularly
audited by the relevant regulatory authorities. No major issues were identified for the financial year. As well,
the Tancoal operation was subjected to an independent third party audit as per legal requirements.
Initiatives
undertaken  included  improvement  of  storm  water  management infrastructure  and  acid  neutralization,
establishment of a tree nursery project as part of progressive rehabilitation, and improvements in solid waste
management and hydrocarbons control. The Kiwira Port stockpile was also rehabilitated.

PROJECTS

POWER STATION DEVELOPMENT

IEC continues to sponsor two major coal-fired energy projects, Project Pamodzi and Project Ngaka.  Its role is to
be  the  originator  of  the  projects,  providing  the  initial  equity.  IEC  will  be  the  exclusive  coal  supplier  to  the
proposed power stations.

During FY14, IEC has been identifying potential joint venture partners for both projects who can add expertise
and resources to the projects during development, construction and operations.

For  the  Pamodzi  Project in  Malawi, IEC  has  identified  a US  Independent  Power  Producer  (“IPP”)  investor,
Endeavor  Energy Power  Holdings  Limited  (“Endeavor  Energy”),  which  is  an  investee  of  US  private  equity
infrastructure fund Denham Capital. IEC has signed an exclusive Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with
Endeavor  Energy  to  assess  the  viability  of  joint collaboration  and  is  in  the  process  of  negotiating  a  Joint
Development Agreement.

IEC  has  commissioned  Parsons  Brinckerhoff  consulting  engineers  to  assist  with  pre-feasibility  studies  and
bankable feasibility studies for both projects.

PROJECT NGAKA (TANZANIA) – 200 MW (NET)

The MOU with TANESCO regarding the proposed mine mouth coal-fired power station at the Tancoal Mine in
the Ngaka coalfields in the Ruvuma Region of Tanzania lapsed in March 2014 and has not been extended.

PROJECT PAMODZI (MALAWI) – 120MW (NET)

Under the MOU with the Government of Malawi (signed in March 2013) IEC has continued the development of
the 120MW coal-fired power station. Through its wholly owned subsidiary in Malawi, Pamodzi Power Limited,
IEC is advancing the proposal for the power generation facility at Chipoka, approximately 130km from Salima
and the capital city, Lilongwe (“Project Pamodzi”). The electricity generated from Project Pamodzi will be sold
to the Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (“ESCOM”) under a 20-year Power Purchasing Agreement (PPA).
Project Pamodzi will be operating as the first independent power producer in Malawi.

Page 7

Review of Operations

Subsequent  to  the  signing  of  the  MOU,  the  Government  of  Malawi  established  an  Advisory  Committee  to
engage  with  IEC  on  commercial  issues.  The  Government  and  the  Advisory  Committee  have  committed  to
engage  with  multilateral  agencies,  including  the  World  Bank  and  African  Development  Bank  to  secure
commercial  guarantees,  risk  insurance  and  USD  payments  required  for  the  project.  Technical pre-feasibility
studies showed that the project is technically feasible.

Good  progress  has  been  made  in  developing  Project  Pamodzi during  the  year.  PPA  term  sheet  negotiations
with  ESCOM  have  been  finalised  awaiting  confirmation  on  final  capacity  offtake  from  ESCOM. When final
capacity  is  confirmed  IEC  expects  the  PPA  term  sheet  to  be  approved  by  ESCOM’s  Board  and  Malawi
Government  as  ESCOM’s  sole  shareholder  and  subsequently  signed.  Discussions  with  African  Development
Bank (“AfDB”) for a Partial Risk Guarantee have progressed well and IEC expects the formal application to be
lodged by the Malawi Government soon. The environmental project brief was approved by the Environmental
Affairs Department of the Malawi Government (“EAD”). Environmental Impact Assessment is needed and IEC
will  commence  the  work when the  PPA  term  sheet  has  been  executed. IEC  continues  its  negotiations  for
investment  and  tax  incentives  for  the  project  with  the  Ministry  of  Finance.  Negotiations  on  the  planned
Implementation Agreement and its negotiations for investment and tax incentives have also progressed.

In  June  2014  Malawi  had  a  change  of  Government appointing a new  President,  Cabinet  and  Ministers.
Consequently, some of the milestones for Project Pamodzi, in particular the completion of the PPA Term Sheet
and the negotiation of the Implementation Agreement have been delayed by a few months. The newly elected
Government of Malawi however has affirmed the importance of Project Pamodzi.

DRILLING

IEC  has  recently  completed  the  transaction  of  the  joint  venture  with  General  Petroleum  Oils  and  Tools  Pty
Limited  (“GPOT”),  a  leading  Queensland  based  provider  of  drilling  supplies and  consulting  services  to  the  oil
and gas industry. GPOT has acquired a 50% interest in AAA Drilling Limited (“AAA Mauritius”), a wholly owned
Mauritian subsidiary of IEC.

The  Mauritian  subsidiary  has  itself  a  subsidiary,  AAA  Drilling  Limited  (“AAA  Tanzania”),  an  operating  drilling
company  in  Tanzania  that was  established  to  undertake  drilling  and  logging  for  IEC entities  and  third  party
customers  in  Eastern  Africa.  GPOT  is  seeking  to  expand  AAA  Tanzania’s  operations  in  Eastern  Africa  and  will
apply  its  capabilities  to  offer  the  equipment  of  AAA  to  new  contracts  in  the  region  after  satisfying  the
exploration and development program of IEC.

As part of the joint venture, GPOT is lending A$700,000 to AAA Tanzania to be paid in three cash instalments,
A$400,000 on completion, A$150,000 on or before 30 November 2014 and A$150,000 on or before 31 March
2015 for working capital.

IEC and GPOT will each provide an additional A$125,000 working capital and provide significant technical and
operational  capabilities  to  AAA  Tanzania.  Both  joint  venture  partners  will  have  equal  representation  on  the
board and appoint a Joint Operating Officer to the company.

EXPLORATION

TANCOAL (TANZANIA)

IEC  has  carried  out  exploration  and  evaluation  of  the  coal  resources  throughout  its  suite  of  leases  in  the
southwest region of Tanzania, and in particular at Ngaka and Mhukuru. Substantial drilling had been completed
in the previous year, and in the current period, work  focused on  follow up geological  mapping and resource
evaluation and mine planning.

TANZACOAL (TANZANIA)

Following  trial  mining  and  the  excavation  of  a  5,650  tonne  bulk  sample  within  SML235  Kabulo,  which  was
completed  in  early  in  2013,  a  Kabulo  Mine  Development  Plan  Report  was  completed  in  December  2013 to
support the mining operations.

This  report  presents  the  Development  Plan  for  the  Tanzacoal  Kabulo  Mine  Project  and  describes  the
exploration, geology, coal resources, mine design and planning, infrastructure design and mine development,
industrial  and  power  station  markets.  Mine  design  and  planning  has  been undertaken  as  a  part  of  this

Page 8

Review of Operations

Development  Plan  and  includes  a  study  of  pit  design  optimization,  mining  reserves  formulation,  equipment
selection and scheduling.

On 4 April 2014 Intra Energy’s subsidiary company, Tanzacoal East Africa Mining Limited received notice from
the  Tanzanian  Minister  for  Energy  that  Special  Mining  Licence  SML235/2005  had  been  cancelled  without
consultation. Tanzacoal has commenced legal action against the cancellation notice seeking the licence to be
restored or pursuing a claim for damages.

MALCOAL (MALAWI)

IEC  has  carried  out  substantial  exploration  within  its  suite  of  tenements  in  Malawi  during  the  period,
culminating  in  the  reporting  of  JORC  Resources  for  Kopakopa  and  Nkhachira  (refer  ASX  announcement  11
November 2013 and 24 February 2014).

Exploration  and  resource  definition  drilling  has  been  carried  out  in  EPL376  (North  Rukuru)  and  ML143  and
EPL174  (Nkhachira),  and  geological  mapping  was  undertaken  in  EPL377  and  EPL392  (Ngana)  and  EPL209
(Mlimbo).

Kopakopa

Drilling  has  defined  the  Kopakopa  Deposit  within  the  central  part  of  the  North  Rukuru  lease  (EPL376).
Seventeen holes were drilled for a total of 720.6m core within the North Rukuru lease and thirteen of these at
Kopakopa for a total of 614.5m core. Drilling was carried out by AAA Drilling. 195 core samples were collected
from these holes and analyzed. All holes at Kopakopa were downhole geophysically logged using a combined
gamma,  density  (short  and  long  spaced)  and  caliper  tool.  Topographic  surveying  was carried  out  over  the
Kopakopa deposit area and DTM topographic maps were subsequently produced.

The  Kopakopa  Deposit  is  comprised  of  sediments  belonging  to  the  Karoo  Super  Group,  which  is  the  largest
sedimentary stratigraphic unit in southern Africa. The coal bearing sediments occur in the K2-K3 Formation and
unconformably overlie Precambrian basement rocks within a half-graben.

Strata  dip  in  an  easterly  direction  at  between  15  and  20  degrees.  Five  coal  horizons  have  been  identified  at
Kopakopa and named, in top down stratigraphic order, K500, K400, K300, K200 and K100.

Coal  resources  have  been  determined  in  a  manner  consistent  with  the  “Australian  Code  for  Reporting  of
Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves ~ The JORC Code ~ 2012 Edition” (the Code) and the
associated  2003  edition  of  “Australian  Guidelines  for  Estimating  and  Reporting  of  Inventory  Coal,  Coal
Resources and Coal Reserves” (the Guidelines).

Total  coal  resources  are  now  reported  at  23.8 million  tonnes  comprising  3.4 million  tonnes  Measured, 5.0
million tonnes Indicated and 15.4 million tonnes Inferred category coal as per Table 1.

Nkhachira

IEC drilled sixty four (64) fully cored holes for a total of 2,437.2m core within the Nkhachira leases (EPL174 and
ML143).  Drilling  was  carried  out  by  AAA  Drilling.  523  core  samples  consisting  of  coal  and  non-coal  material
were  collected  from  these  holes  and analysed.  A  detailed  topographic  survey  was  carried  out  over  the
Nkhachira Deposit and a DTM compiled. Topographic maps were subsequently produced from this DTM.

The  Nkhachira  Deposit  is  comprised  of  sediments  belonging  to  the  Karoo  Super  Group.  Three  coal horizons
have been identified and named, in top down stratigraphic order, K300, K200 and K100. The Company operates
the Malcoal Mine within ML143.
Coal  resources  have  been  determined  in  a  manner  consistent  with  the  “Australian  Code  for  Reporting  of
Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves ~ The JORC Code ~ 2012 Edition” (The JORC Code) and
the  associated  2003  edition  of  “Australian  Guidelines  for  Estimating  and  Reporting  of  Inventory  Coal,  Coal
Resources and Coal Reserves” (the Guidelines).

Total coal resources are now reported at 38.3  million tonnes comprising  10.1  million tonnes Measured, 13.8
million tonnes Indicated and 14.4 million tonnes Inferred category coal as per Table 1.

UAROO (AUSTRALIA)

IEC has two exploration licences (E08/1494 and E08/1495) at Uaroo in Western Australia. IEC entered into a
relationship with Cauldron Energy Limited (ASX:CXU) for the exploration of Uranium within the leases.
Cauldron is currently managing the exploration and is administering the tenements.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (“CSR”)

Community

At IEC our approach to corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) is about partnership with local communities to
develop  initiatives  to  provide  social  and  economic  development  as  well  as  environmental  protection  and
conservation in the areas IEC operate.

By developing partnerships with the communities, IEC is helping to foster sustainable development, share the
socio-economic benefits from its operations and alleviate poverty.

IEC’s  focus  is  helping  communities  by  developing  infrastructure,  education  and  health  opportunities  by
employment of local personnel. It relies on the local community for operational support rather than external
contractors  in  order  to  boost  the  local  economy  where  it  operates.  IEC  makes  direct  contributions  to  the
community through building infrastructure and donations of equipment and supplies, and transfers capabilities
and skills to enhance work abilities.

IEC is a member of the Australian African Mining Industry Group (“AAMIG”) – an industry body that promotes
best practice in corporate social responsibility among Australian mining companies active in Africa.

Some of the key challenges associated with investing in Africa relate to governance, capacity building, human
rights,  environment  and  social  issues.  The  mining  industry  in  both  Tanzania  and  Malawi  represents  a  large
potential source of income for the long-term development of these economies. IEC is therefore committed to
continue  to  work  in  conjunction  with  the  government  and  local  communities  to  put  in  place  programs  and
develop  projects  that  have  a  tangible  outcome,  and  priority  is  given  to  projects  that  alleviate  poverty,
contribute  to  building  skills  and  support  women’s  and  youth  economic  empowerment,  especially  through
education and business ownership.

IEC currently has many projects in the early stage of development, however it remains committed to working
with the local community by supporting the following projects:

TANZANIA

Mbalawala Women’s Group (“The Women’s Group”)

The Women’s Group was established in late 2011 after consultation with local women and in partnership with
community leaders. The Women’s Group provides local goods and camp services to the mine employees and is
funded by Tancoal with assistance from a successful grant application from the Australian Government’s Direct
Aid Programme.

The Women’s Group aims to establish a number of activities for the local women to learn new skills and have
the  opportunity  to  run  each activity  as  a  business.  It  also  enables  IEC  to  work  with  local  women to  improve
their education, health, independence and social equality.

Education

Education for the local communities is very important. Tancoal has refurbished three local schools, constructed
toilets for students, donated equipment for the students’ canteen, donated sports material and is working with
the  schools  to  identify  local  students  who  are  selected  to  attend  training  in  environmental,  medical  and
mechanical  skills.  Tancoal  also  employs  workers  from  the  local  community  and  has  implemented  training
schemes to develop technical skills for employment.

Community and Health

Tancoal has facilitated the supply of clean water to the nearest schools, health centre and residential points,
which  has  reduced  travelling  time  for  villagers  to  secure  clean  water  for  domestic  consumption. Plans  are
underway to improve the nearest health facility to be able to offer outpatient services to the village near the
campsite, including donating medicines and equipment for the clinic.
MALAWI
Intra Energy is in the process of establishing a group of local women to start providing catering services for
Malcoal mine workers in conjunction with the setup of an agricultural program.

CASH FROM OPERATIONS

The  net  cash  outflow  from  operations  of  $3.39m  was lower  than  the  cash  outflow  in  the  previous  year  of

working capital facility combined with proceeds from a Share Purchase Plan concluded in January 2014 raising
$1.53m. The  Company  had  a  net  overdraft  of  $0.43m  at  year end  with $0.09m cash  at  bank  and a bank
overdraft facility of $0.52m.

the licence re-instated.

There are no further significant changes to the state of affairs of the Company.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE

On 31 July 2014, Mr Gideon Nasari resigned as a Non-Executive Director of the Company. On the same date
David Mason transitioned to a Non-Executive Director.

On 14 August 2014 the Company announced completion of a private placement to sophisticated investors of
51,852,851 shares in IEC at a share price of $0.027 per share, raising $1.4 million before transaction costs. Each
shareholder  participating  in  the private  placement  will  receive  two  unlisted  options  for  nil  consideration  for
every five ordinary shares. The options will be exercisable at any time prior to 31 August 2015 at an exercise
price  of  $0.05.  27,777,778  ordinary  shares  and 11,111,107  options were  issued  on  15  August  2014  with  the
remainder being 24,074,074 shares and 9,629,628 options to be issued to IEC Directors, subject to shareholder
approval at the Company’s AGM.

AAA  Drilling  has  recently completed the  transaction to  enter  into  a  joint  venture  agreement  with  General
Petroleum Oils and Tools Pty Limited (“GPOT”), a Queensland based provider of drilling supplies and consulting
services to the oil and gas industry. GPOT has acquired a 50% interest in AAA Drilling Limited (“AAA Mauritius”),
a wholly owned Mauritian subsidiary of IEC.

The  Mauritian  subsidiary  has  itself  a  subsidiary,  AAA  Drilling  Limited  (“AAA  Tanzania”),  an  operating  drilling
company in Tanzania.  GPOT is seeking to expand AAA Tanzania’s operations in Eastern Africa and will apply its
capabilities to offer the equipment of AAA to new contracts in the region after satisfying the exploration and
development program of IEC.

As part of the joint venture, GPOT is lending A$700,000 to AAA Tanzania to be paid in three cash instalments,
A$400,000 on completion, A$150,000 on or before 30 November 2014 and A$150,000 on or before 31 March
2015 for working capital.

IEC and GPOT will each provide an additional A$125,000 working capital and provide significant technical and
operational  capabilities  to  AAA  Tanzania.  Both  joint  venture  partners  will  have  equal  representation  on  the
board and appoint a Joint Operating Officer to the company.

Subsequent  to  balance  date,  the  Group  received  from  the  National  Bank  of  Commerce  in  Tanzania  (“NBC”),
formal acknowledgment of the pre-notification of the expected covenant breaches in Tancoal and AAA Drilling.
The NBC has provided a waiver against immediately recalling the loans based on the expected breaches subject
to  the  companies  meeting  their  on-going  compliance  obligations  under  the  original  payment  schedule  as

Page 16

Directors’ Report

specified  in  the  facility  agreements.  The  NBC  has  reserved  its  right  to  perform  its  annual  review  following
receipt of the audited accounts of the companies, in which the bank will perform a holistic assessment of the
financial health of the companies and, despite the current waiver, reserves its right to further action. The loan
amount is secured against the Company’s mining assets and drilling rigs.

Other than those events outlined above, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial
year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the
opinion of the Directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of the Company, the results of
those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company, in future financial years.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE

The Company is subject to environmental regulations and is compliant with all aspects of environmental
regulation in its exploration and mining activities, including provision for environmental rehabilitation costs.
The Directors are not aware of any environmental law that is not being complied with.

Remuneration Report

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for key management personnel of the Company,
in connection with the management of the affairs of the entity and its subsidiaries, during the year to 30 June
2014.

Key  management  personnel  have  authority  and  responsibility  for  planning,  directing  and  controlling  the
activities  of  the Company  and  the Consolidated Entity,  including Directors  of  the  Company  and  other
executives. Key management personnel comprise the Directors of the Company and executives of the Company
and the Consolidated Entity.

A. REMUNERATION POLICY

Remuneration Committee

During  the  year  ended  30  June  2014,  the  Remuneration  Committee  (“the  Committee”)  comprised  of  three
members,  two  Non-Executive  Directors  and  the  Executive  Chairman,  the  Committee  is  chaired  by  a  Non-
Executive Director.

The function of the Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its corporate governance responsibilities with
respect to remuneration by reviewing and making appropriate recommendations on:

(a) Remuneration packages of Executive Directors, Non-Executive Directors and Senior Management;
(b) Employee  incentive  and  equity-based  plans  including  the  appropriateness  of  performance  hurdles

and total payments proposed.

Remuneration Policy

The Committee adopts the following policies on executive compensation and will bear these policies in mind
during remuneration reviews:

All key executives should be  paid fair market Total Fixed Remuneration (“TFR”)  for their employment, taking
into account their responsibilities and performance expectations.

All remuneration paid to Directors and Executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Prior to
the 2014 year the Company had a practice of granting shares and/or options to the Executives (being Executive
Directors  and  Senior  Management).  The  shares  granted  were  valued  at  the  difference  between  the  market
price  of  those  shares  and  the  amount  paid  by  the  Executives.  Options  were  valued  using  the  Black-Scholes
methodology.



In 2012 the Remuneration Committee initially adopted Performance Rights as the incentive scheme for the
Executive Directors and Senior Management.

 The  Committee’s  policy  is  to  remunerate Non-Executive  Directors  at  market  rates  for  comparable
companies  for  time,  commitment  and  responsibilities.  The  Committee  determines  payments  to  the  Non-
Executive  Directors  and reviews  their  remuneration  annually,  based  on  market  practice,  duties  and
accountability.  Independent external advice is sought when needed. Fees for Non-Executive Directors are
not linked to the performance of the Consolidated Entity. The Directors are not required to hold any shares
in the Company under the Company’s Constitution. However, to align Directors’ interests with shareholder
interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.

Executive Directors’ Remuneration

In considering the Company’s Remuneration Policy and levels of remuneration for Executives, the Committee
makes recommendations that seek to:
 Motivate  Executive  Directors  and  Senior  Management  to  pursue  long  term  growth  and  success  of  the

Company within an appropriate control framework;

 Demonstrate a clear correlation between Executives’ performance and remuneration; and
 Align the interests of Executives with the long-term interests of the Company’s shareholders.
To  the  extent  that  the  Company  adopts  a  different remuneration  structure  for  its  Executive  Directors,  the
Committee shall document its reasons for the purpose of disclosure to stakeholders.

Page 18

Remuneration Report

On August 2013 the Board of Intra Energy Corporation resolved that the employee incentive scheme would be
suspended for the financial year ended 30 June 2014.

On  22  January  2014 Shareholders  approved  the  issue  of  performance  rights  to  the  Executive  Directors  and
Senior Management of IEC in exchange for a voluntarily reduction in their cash remuneration for the six month
period  from  1  January  to  30  June  2014.  Executive  Directors  voluntarily  elected  a  20%  reduction  in  base
remuneration  (excluding  superannuation)  and  the Senior  Management  elected  a  10%  reduction  in  exchange
for performance rights as a short term cash saving measure. The Executive Directors and Senior Management
were granted a fixed number of IEC performance rights based on their remuneration deferral. The performance
rights  will  only  vest  after  12  months  providing  the  employee  remains  in  service  with  the  Company.  On  22
January  2014,  1,381,025  performance  rights were  issued  as  a  result.  An  expense  of  $29,217 was  recorded
relating to Executive Directors.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration

In considering the Company’s Remuneration Policy and levels of remuneration for Non-Executive Directors, the
Committee is to ensure that:



Fees  paid  to  Non-Executive  Directors  are  within  the  aggregate  amount  approved  by  shareholders  and
recommendations are made to the Board with respect to the need for increases to this aggregate amount
at the Company’s Annual General Meeting;

 Non-Executive Directors are remunerated by way of fees (in the form of cash);
 Non-Executive Directors are not provided with retirement benefits; and
 Non-Executive Directors are not entitled to participate in equity-based remuneration schemes designed for

Executives without due consideration and appropriate disclosure to the Company’s shareholders.

To the extent that the Company adopts a different remuneration structure for its Non-Executive Directors, the
Committee shall document its reasons for the purpose of disclosure to stakeholders.

Incentive Scheme

To qualify for the Scheme a person must be an employee and have worked with the Company for a minimum
of 6 months (the only exception is to attract Senior Management or a Head of Business and is subject to the
approval of the Remuneration Committee).

The incentive scheme has two components, namely, the Short Term Incentive (“STI”) and Long Term Incentive
(“LTI”) respectively. This is to ensure that the key Executives have short and long term interests of the Company
in mind in their decision making.

Executive Management

For the Executive Directors the performance conditions are 50% external, 50% internal.

Payout of LTI incentive is dependent on the combined score of both the external and internal measures.

STI:  40% of  TFR,  payable  in  lump  sum  annually  when  an  Executive  has  satisfactorily  achieved  his  or  her
performance targets set by the Company.

LTI: 60% of TFR, This is in a form of an equity incentive using Performance Rights as an instrument. Payout will
be  based  on  the  performance  of  the  entire  management  team  in  achieving  exceptional  performance  for  the
Company and its shareholders.

Management

The  Management  team performance  conditions  are  1/3  satisfaction  of  individual  performance  (agreed  Key
Performance Indicators), 1/3  external measure and 1/3 internal measure. The annual individual performance
targets are agreed at the June board meeting.

During  the  period, certain members  of  the IEC Senior Management team  were  issued  performance  rights in
exchange for a 10% voluntarily reduction in their cash remuneration for the six month period from 1 January to
30 June 2014 as a short term cash saving measure. Senior Management who participated were granted a fixed
number of IEC performance rights based on their remuneration deferral. The performance rights were issued in
two  tranches.  Tranche  1 will  only  vest  after  12  months  providing  the  employee  remains  in  service  with  the
Company. Tranche 2 will vest if one of the following occurs:

Page 19

Remuneration Report

 An  increase  of  at  least  50%  between  the  closing  IEC  share  price  on  the  date  of  the  2013  AGM  Notice  of
Meeting and the 30 day VWAP calculated on the date of the release of the audited Financial Statements for
the year ended 30 June 2014; or

 The audited Financial Statements for the year ending 30 June 2014 show the Company has made a profit.

An expense of $45,595 was recorded relating to Senior Management.

External Measure

The vesting of Performance Rights is subject to the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) outperforming
the S&P/ASX300 Energy Index (ASX: XEK) over the vesting period.

Any  companies  within  the  Peer  Group  which  are  delisted  as  at  the  vesting  date  are  removed  from  the  final
analysis.

The Company reserves the right to amend the Peer Group at any time prior to the vesting date.

Internal Measure

The internal measure uses earnings per share (“EPS”) as the indicator.

The annual EPS target is set by the Board and agreed by the Committee after approval of the following year’s
Group  budget.  The  vesting  of  these  Rights  is  subject  to  achieving  the  budgeted  earnings  per  share  (“Budget
EPS”) as determined by the Board over the vesting period. That is, the sum of three years’ EPS ending 30 June.

The  Budget  EPS  is  determined  by  the  Board  and  takes  into  account  market  expectations,  economic  and
industry conditions, meeting financial objectives and the past performance of the Company. EPS is as defined
under AIFRS for the relevant period.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The  Company  has  entered  into  Directors’ Access  Indemnity  and  Insurance Deeds (“D&O  Deed”)  with  each
Director  (“Officers”).  Under  the  D&O  Deed,  the  Company  indemnifies  the  Officers  to  the  maximum  extent
permitted by law and the Constitution against legal proceedings, damage, loss, liability, cost, charge, expense,
outgoing  or  payment  (including  legal  expenses  on  a  solicitor/client  basis)  suffered,  paid  or  incurred  by  the
officers in connection with the Officers being an officer of the Company, the employment of the officer with
the Company or a breach by the Company of its obligations under the D&O Deed.

Also pursuant to the D&O Deed, the Company must insure the Officers against liability and provide access to all
board papers relevant to defending any claim brought against the Officers in their capacity as officers of the
Company. The Company has paid insurance premiums of $23,105 (2013: $20,270) in respect of liability for any

Corporate Governance

The Board of Directors of IEC is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. The Board guides
and monitors the business and affairs of IEC on behalf of the shareholders by whom it is elected and to whom it
is accountable. This statement reports on the Company’s key governance principles and practices.

COMPLIANCE WITH BEST PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS

The  Company,  as  a  listed  entity,  must  comply  with  the Corporations  Act  2001 and  the  Australian  Securities
Exchange Limited (“ASX”) Listing Rules. The ASX Listing Rules require the Company to report on the extent to
which  it  has  followed  the  Corporate  Governance  Recommendations  published  by  the  ASX  Corporate
Governance  Council  (ASX:CGC).  Where  a  recommendation  has  not  been  followed,  that  fact  is  disclosed
together with the reasons for the departure.

The  information  below  summarises  the  Company’s  compliance  with  the  Corporate  Governance  Council’s
Recommendations.

STATEMENT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

This statement reports on the key governance framework, principles and practices for IEC. These principles and
practices  are  reviewed  regularly  and  revised  as  appropriate  to  reflect  changes  in  law  and  best  practice  in
corporate governance.

IEC’s  Corporate  Governance  Statement  is  structured  with  reference  to  the  Corporate  Governance  Council’s
principles and recommendations, which are as follows:

Principle 1

Principle 2

Principle 3

Principle 4

Principle 5

Principle 6

Principle 7

Principle 8

Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

Structure the board to add value

Promote ethical and responsible decision making

Safeguard integrity in financial reporting

Make timely and balanced disclosure

Respect the rights of shareholders

Recognise and manage risk

Remunerate fairly and responsibly

Given the size and structure of the Company, the nature of its business activities, the stage of its development
and  the  cost  of  strict  and  detailed  compliance  with  all  of  the  recommendations,  it  has  continued  to  adopt  a
range of modified systems, procedures and practices which it considers will enable it to meet the principles of
good corporate governance.

The Company’s practices are mainly consistent with those of the guidelines and where they do not correlate
with the recommendations in the guidelines the Company considers that its adopted practices are appropriate
to it. At the end of this statement a table is included detailing the recommendations with which the Company
does not strictly comply.

The following section addresses the Company’s practices in complying with the principles.

PRINCIPLE 1: LAYING SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT

Role and responsibilities of the Board

The Board of Directors of IEC is responsible for the corporate governance of the Consolidated Entity. The Board
guides and monitors the business and affairs of IEC on behalf of the shareholders, by whom the Directors are
elected and to whom they are accountable.

After appropriate consultation with Executive Management, the Board:



defines and sets its business  objectives and  subsequently  monitors performance and achievements of
those objectives;

Page 27

Corporate Governance







oversees the reporting on matters of compliance with corporate policies and laws, takes responsibility
for risk management processes and continually reviews the executive management of the Company;

monitors and approves financial performance and budgets; and

reports to shareholders.

PRINCIPLE 2: STRUCTURING THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE

Composition of the Board

The names of the Directors of the Company and their qualifications are set out in the section headed Directors’
Report in the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2014.

The  composition of  the  Board  is  determined  so  as  to  provide  the  Company  with  a  broad  base  of  industry,
business,  technical,  administrative,  financial  and  corporate  skills  and  experience  considered  necessary  to
represent shareholders and fulfil the business objectives of the Company.

Nomination of other Board Members

Membership  of  the  Board  of  Directors  is  reviewed  on  an  on-going  basis  by  the  Chairman  of  the  Board  to
determine  if  additional  core  strengths  are  required  to  be  added  to  the  Board  in  light  of  the  nature  of  the
Company’s businesses and its objectives.

Independent advice

Each of the Directors is entitled to seek independent advice at the Company’s expense to assist them to carry
out  their  responsibilities  however  prior  approval  of  the  Chairman  is  required  which is  not  unreasonably
withheld.

PRINCIPLE 3: PROMOTION OF ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE DECISION-MAKING

Directors,  officers,  employees  and  consultants  to  the  Company  are  required  to  observe  high  standards  of
behaviour  and  business  ethics  in  conducting  business  on behalf  of  the  Company  and  they  are  required  to
maintain a reputation of integrity on the part of both the Company and themselves. The Company does not
contract with or otherwise engage any person or party where it considers integrity may be compromised.

Directors  are  required  to  disclose  to  the  Board  actual  or  potential  conflicts  of  interest  that  may  or  might
reasonably be thought to exist between the interests of the Director or the interests of any other party in so far
as it affects the activities of the Company and to act in accordance with the Corporations Act if conflict cannot
be removed or if it persists. That involves taking no part in the decision making process or discussions where
that conflict does arise.

Directors are required to make disclosure of any share trading in the Company’s shares. The Company’s policy
in  relation  to  share  trading  is  that  officers  are  prohibited  to  trade  whilst  in  possession  of  unpublished  price
sensitive information concerning the Company. That is information which a reasonable person would expect to
have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s shares. It is recommended that an officer discuss
the proposal to acquire or sell shares with the Directors or the Company Secretary prior to doing so to ensure
that there is no price sensitive information of which that officer might not be aware. The undertaking of any
trading in shares must be notified to the ASX.

PRINCIPLE 4: SAFEGUARDING INTEGRITY IN FINANCIAL REPORTING

Each Board member has access to the external auditors and the auditor has access to each Board member.

A Director does make a statement to the shareholders that the Company’s financial reports present a true and
fair  view  in  all  material  respects  of  the  Company’s  financial  condition  and  operational  results  and  are  in
accordance with relevant accounting standards.

Page 28

Corporate Governance

PRINCIPLE 5: MAKING TIMELY AND BALANCED DISCLOSURE

All Directors, Executives and employees are required to abide by all legal requirements, the Listing Rules of the
ASX  and  the  highest  standards  of  ethical  conduct.  This  includes  compliance  with  the  continuous  disclosure
requirements of the Listing Rules.

The Company Secretary is responsible for overseeing and co-ordinating disclosure of information to the ASX as
well as communicating with the ASX.

PRINCIPLE 6: RESPECTING THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS

The Board’s fundamental responsibility to shareholders is to work towards meeting the Company’s objectives
so as to add value for them.

The Board seeks to inform shareholders of all major developments affecting the Company by:


preparing half yearly and yearly financial reports;











preparing quarterly cash flow reports and reports as to activities;

making announcements in accordance with the listing rules and the continuous disclosure obligations;

hosting all of the above on the Company’s website;

annually, and more regularly if required, holding a general meeting of shareholders and forwarding to
them the annual report together with notice of meeting and proxy form; and

voluntarily releasing other information which it believes is in the interest of shareholders.

The  Annual  General  Meeting  enables  shareholders  to  receive  the  reports  and  participate  in  the  meeting  by
attendance  or  by  written  communication.  The  Board  seeks  to  notify  all  shareholders  so  they  can  be  fully
informed annually for the voting on the appointment of directors and so as to enable them to have discussion
at the Annual General Meeting with the directors and/or the auditor of the Company who is invited to attend
the Annual General Meeting.

PRINCIPLE 7: RECOGNISING AND MANAGING RISK

The  Board  is  conscious  of  the  need  to  continually  maintain  systems  of  risk  management  and  controls  to
manage all of the assets and affairs of the Company. The Company has in place a risk and management policy
which sets out systems for risk oversight, management and internal controls.

This risk management policy was adopted in 29 April 2014. The Board approves risk management systems and
will review them and their implementation annually. The Company's risk profile, assessed and determined on
the  basis  of  the  Company's  businesses  in coal exploration and  production,  is  reviewed  annually.  The  Board
regularly considers risk management at its meetings.

PRINCIPLE 8: REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY

The Company has established a Remuneration Committee.

Each member of the Board has committed to spending sufficient time to enable them to carry out their duties
as a Director of the Company.

A maximum amount of remuneration for Non-Executive Directors is fixed by shareholders in a general meeting
and  can  be  varied  in  that  same  manner.  In  determining  the  allocation  the  Board  takes  account  of  the  time
demands made on the directors together with such factors as fees paid to other corporate directors and to the
responsibilities undertaken by them.

Explanation

2.1

2.2

2.4

During the Reporting
Period, the Company
did not have a majority
of independent
directors

The Chair of the Board
is Mr Graeme
Robertson who is an
Executive (non-
independent) Director)

Given the nature and size of the Company, its business interests
and the stage of development, the Board considers that its
composition is an appropriate blend of skills and expertise
relevant to the Company’s business. The Company deals with the
lack of independent directors by ensuring that conflicts of interest
are adequately disclosed in accordance with the Company’s Code
of Conduct. Directors abstain from voting on matters where they
have, or it is perceived they have, a beneficial interest in the
outcome of the matters.

Having considered Mr Robertson’s experience within the
industry, intimate knowledge of the operations of the Company
and his longstanding commitment to the success of the Company
the Board considers it to be in the best interests of the Company
to maintain Mr Robertson as the Chair of the Company at this
time. The Company has appropriate guidelines and checks in
place to ensure that the Board makes decisions in the best
interests of shareholders.

A separate Nomination
Committee has not
been formed.

At 30 June 2014, the Board comprised five members each of
whom have valuable contributions to make in fulfilling the role of
a nomination committee member. A Director will excuse himself
where there is a personal interest or conflict.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

The Board of Directors is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year is compatible with
the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors are
satisfied that the services disclosed below did not compromise the external auditor’s independence for the
following reasons:





all non-audit services are reviewed and approved by the Board prior to commencement to ensure they
do not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

the nature of the services provided do not compromise the general principles relating to auditor
independence as set out in the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and APES110 Code of
Ethics for Professional Accountants.

The following fees for non-audit services were paid to an affiliated entity of the external auditors during the
year ended 30 June 2014:

Taxation and other advisory services: $53,000

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Intra Energy  Corporation  Limited (“the Company”)  is  a  company  limited  by  shares,  incorporated  and  domiciled  in
Australia. The shares of Intra Energy Corporation Limited are publically traded on the Australian Stock Exchange. The
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 comprise the Company and its controlled entities
(together  referred  to  as “the  Group” or “Consolidated  Entity”)  and  the  Group’s  interests  in  associates  and  jointly
controlled entities. The Company is a for-profit entity and primarily is involved in the mining and sale of coal.

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board and authorized for issue on 16 September 2014.

A. Going Concern

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group
will be able to continue trading, realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business for a
period of at least 12 months from the date that these financial statements are approved.

The Directors note that:





The Group generated a loss after tax for the year of $20,777,000 primarily as a result of non-cash impairment
charges of $13,617,000, exploration and project expenditure of $2,080,000, non-cash depreciation and
amortisation charges of $1,392,000 together with continued operating losses after corporate overheads; and
As at balance date, the Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $2,837,000. The deficit in net
current assets includes a $522,000 overdraft payable to the National Bank of Commerce in Tanzania (“NBC”) and
$2,496,000 payable to the NBC under loan facilities which expire in December 2015. These loans were classified
as current loans at balance date as the loan covenants under the facilities were in breach.

In considering the impact of these factors on the appropriateness of the use of the going concern assumption, the
Directors have noted the following subsequent events:







The Company announced the issue of 51,851,852 ordinary shares at $0.027 per share through a private
placement to sophisticated investors, raising $1,400,000 before transaction costs. Each shareholder participating
in the private placement will receive two unlisted options for nil consideration for every five ordinary shares. The
options will be exercisable at any time prior to 31 August 2015 at an exercise price of $0.05. On 15 August 2014
27,777,778 ordinary shares and 11,111,107 options were issued, with 24,074,074 shares and 9,629,628 options
to be issued to Directors as part of this placement subject to shareholder approval at the IEC Annual General
Meeting to be held in October 2014.
AAA Drilling has recently completed the transaction of the joint venture with General Petroleum Oils and Tools
Pty Limited (“GPOT”), a leading Queensland based provider of drilling supplies and consulting services to the oil
and  gas  industry.  GPOT  has  acquired  a  50%  interest  in  AAA  Drilling  Limited  (‘AAA  Mauritius’),  a  wholly  owned
Mauritian subsidiary of IEC. As part of the joint venture, GPOT is lending A$700,000 to AAA Tanzania to be paid in
three cash instalments, A$400,000 on completion, A$150,000 on or before 30 November 2014 and A$150,000 on
or before 31 March 2015 for working capital. IEC and GPOT will each provide an additional A$125,000 working
capital and provide significant technical and operational capabilities to AAA Tanzania.
The Group received from NBC, formal acknowledgment of the pre-notification of the expected covenant
breaches in Tancoal and AAA Drilling. The NBC has provided a waiver against immediately recalling the loans
based on the expected breaches subject to the companies meeting their on-going compliance obligations under
the original payment schedule as specified in the facility agreements. As disclosed in Note 16, the NBC has
reserved its right to perform its annual review following receipt of the audited accounts of the companies, in
which the bank will perform a holistic assessment of the financial health of the companies and, despite the
current waiver, reserves its right to further action. The loan amounts are secured against the Company’s mining
assets and drilling rigs.

In assessing the appropriateness of using the going concern assumption, the Directors have:



Considered the working capital requirements of the business given the current operating and cash flow forecasts
of the Group. Coal sales are expected to increase as the Group responds to growing demand in the East African
cement and industrial markets segment. As Tancoal implements productivity improvements and further
initiatives to expand equipment capacity, the working capital position of the Company is expected to improve.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Going Concern (cont’d)

Implemented a number of cost saving initiatives to preserve working capital.
Retained their confidence in the strategic value of the Group as it develops its coal and power station projects
across East Africa. IEC is the dominant and growing coal miner and supplier to industrial energy users in the
Eastern African region and is advancing coal-fired power generation projects in Malawi and Tanzania. Eastern
Africa is one of the fastest growing regions in the world with national growth rates between 5 and 8%. In 2014,
IEC supplied 70% of its production to Tanzania and 30% to Kenya and Malawi with trial shipments to Uganda,
Rwanda and Zambia. Approximately 60% was supplied to the cement industry, 13% to textile manufacturers,
15% to paper and ceramics industries and the remainder to processing plants.
Acknowledged the significant interest received in the 120MW “Pamodzi” coal fired power station project in
Malawi and the MOU entered with Endeavour Energy Power Holdings Limited.
Recognised that the interest bearing liabilities relating to the loans from the NBC and hire purchase equipment
providers are secured against the Group’s mining equipment.
Noted JORC compliant resources of 62 million tonnes in Malawi and 423 million tonnes at the Tancoal mine in
Tanzania.

The Directors remain confident in the Group’s ability to access further working capital through debt, equity or asset
sales if required.

After considering the above factors, the Directors have concluded that the use of the going concern assumption is
appropriate. Should the Group not achieve its coal sales, cost saving initiatives and working capital improvement
targets, or the NBC recalls the Company’s loans as part of its annual review, the Group will be required to raise further
debt or equity or divest assets to continue as a going concern.

Whilst the Directors remain confident of the Group’s ability to raise debt or equity, there is a material uncertainty as
to whether the Group could continue as a going concern without such funding.

Had the going concern basis not been used, adjustments would need to be made relating to the recoverability and
classification of certain assets, and the classification and measurement of certain liabilities to reflect the fact that the
Group may be required to realise its assets and settle its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at
amounts different from those stated in the consolidated financial statements..

B.

Statement of compliance and basis of preparation

The  financial  report  is  a  general  purpose  financial  report  that  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian
Accounting  Standards,  Australian  Accounting  Interpretations,  other  authoritative  pronouncements  of  the Australian
Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report of Intra Energy Corporation Limited and controlled entities (“IEC”, “the Company”, “the Group” or
“Consolidated  Entity”),  and  IEC  as  an  individual  parent  entity (“IEC  Parent”  or  “Parent  Entity”)  complies  with  all
Australian  equivalents  to  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (AIFRS)  and  International  Financial  Reporting
Standards (IFRS).

b.i Reporting Basis and Conventions

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs other than financial assets
and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

The  following  is  a  summary  of  the  material  accounting  policies  adopted  by  the  Company  in  the  preparation  of  the
financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

Separate financial  statements for IEC Parent, as an individual entity are no longer presented as a consequence of a
change to the Corporations Act 2001, however, required financial information for IEC Parent as an individual entity is
included in Note 29.

Page 41

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

b.ii New Accounting Standards

New accounting standards adopted for the first time in these financial statements include AASB 10 Consolidated
Financial Statements, AASB 11 Joint Arrangements, AASB 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities, AASB 13 Fair Value
Measurement and AASB 119 Employee Benefits (2011).

There were no significant impacts arising from accounting standards or interpretations adopted for the first time in
these Financial Statements.

b.iii New Accounting Standards and Interpretations that are not yet mandatory

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2014
reporting periods. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.
The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments (2010), AASB 9 Financial Instruments (2009)

AASB 9 (2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. Under AASB 9
(2009),  financial  assets  are  classified  and  measured  based  on  the  business model  in  which  they  are  held  and  the
characteristics of their contractual cash flows. AASB 9 (2010) introduces additions relating to financial liabilities. The
IASB  currently  has  an  active  project  that  may  result  in  limited  amendments  to  the  classification and  measurement
requirements  of  AASB  9  and  add  new  requirements  to  address  the  impairment  of  financial  assets  and  hedge
accounting.

AASB 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.  Early adoption is permitted. The adoption
of these standards is expected to have no impact on the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities. As the Group
does not have hedging arrangements, this will not have an impact to the Group or its results.

C. Principles of consolidation

c.i Business combinations

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, including business combinations
involving entities or businesses under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are
acquired.

Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at
the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition.  Where  equity  instruments are issued in an
acquisition, the fair value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange unless, in rare
circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator of
fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value.  Transaction
costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are expensed in the period incurred.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured
initially  at  their  fair  values  at  the  acquisition  date,  irrespective  of  the  extent  of  any  non-controlling  interest.    The
excess  of  the  cost  of  acquisition  over  the  fair  value  of  the  Group’s  share  of  the  identifiable  net  assets acquired  is
recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the Group’s share of the fair value of the identifiable net
assets  of  the  subsidiary  acquired,  the  difference  is  recognised  directly  in  the  Consolidated  Statement  of
Comprehensive  Income,  but  only  after  a  reassessment  of  the  identification  and  measurement  of  the  net  assets
required.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to
their  present  value  as  at  the  date  of exchange.    The  discount  rate  used  is  the  entity’s  incremental  borrowing  rate,
being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms
and conditions.

Page 42

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

c.ii Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries  are  entities  controlled  by  the  Group.    The  financial  statements  of  subsidiaries  are  included  in  the
consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by
the Group.

c.iii Transactions eliminated on Consolidation

All balances and transactions, arising from transactions between entities within the group are eliminated in preparing
the consolidated financial statements.

c.iv Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling  interests  are  measured  at  their  proportionate  share  of the  acquiree’s  identifiable  net  assets  at  the
acquisition date. Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted
for as equity transactions.

D.

Income Tax

The  charge  for  current  income  tax  expense  is  based  on  the  profit  for  the  year  adjusted  for  any  non-assessable  or
disallowed  items.  It  is  calculated  using  tax  rates  that  have  been  enacted  or  are  substantively  enacted  by  the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Deferred  tax  is  accounted  for  using the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Financial  Position  liability  method  in  respect  of
temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial
statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a
business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or liability is
settled. Deferred tax is credited in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income except where it relates to
items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred  income  tax  assets  are  recognised  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  future  tax  profits  will  be  available
against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no
adverse  change  will  occur  in  income  taxation  legislation  and  the  anticipation  that  the  economic  entity  will  derive
sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility
imposed by the law.

E. Property, Plant and Equipment

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant  and  equipment  are  measured  on  the  cost  basis.  The  carrying  amount of  plant  and  equipment  is  reviewed
annually  by  Directors  to  ensure  it  is  not  in  excess  of  the  recoverable  amount  from  these  assets.  The  recoverable
amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets’ employment
and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining
recoverable amounts.

e.i Depreciation

The  depreciable  amount  of  all  fixed  assets  is  depreciated  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  asset’s  useful  life  to  the
consolidated group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The useful lives used for each class of depreciable asset are:

Property, Plant and Equipment

Motor Vehicles

Office Equipment

Computer Equipment and Software

Leasehold Improvements

Useful life

10 to 15 years

10 years

8 years

3 years

25 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is
greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses
are included in the profit or loss.

F.

Exploration, evaluation and acquisition expenditure

Acquisition costs are accumulated in respect of each separate area of interest. Acquisition costs are carried forward
where right  of  tenure  of  the  area  of  interest  is  current  and  they  are  expected  to  be  recouped  through  sale  or
successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or, where exploration and evaluation activities in the
area  of  interest  have  not  yet  reached  a  stage  that  permits  reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence  of  economically
recoverable reserves. Where an area of interest is abandoned or the Directors decide that it is not commercial, any
accumulated acquisition costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made. Each
area of interest is also reviewed at the end of each accounting period and accumulated acquisition costs written off to
the  extent  that  they  will  not  be  recoverable  in  the  future.  Amortisation  is  not  charged  on  acquisition  costs  carried
forward in respect of areas of interest in the development phase until production commences.

G.

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on average
costs  over  the  relevant  period  of  production  and  includes  expenditure  in  accumulating  the  inventories,  production
costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Stockpile tonnages are verified
by periodic surveys.

H. Overburden removal costs

Overburden and other mine waste materials are often removed during the initial development of a mine site in order
to access the mineral deposit. This activity is referred to as development stripping. The directly attributable costs are
initially  capitalised  as  mine  development  costs.  Capitalising  of  development  stripping  costs  ceases  at  the  time  that
saleable mineral rights begin to be extracted from the mine.

Production stripping commences at the time that saleable materials begin to be extracted from the mine and normally
continues through the life of a mine.  The costs of production stripping are capitalised to the cost of inventory, and
charged to the income statement upon sale of inventory in cost of goods sold.

I.

Development expenditure

When a mining project has been established as commercially viable and technically feasible, expenditure other than
that on land, buildings and plant equipment is capitalised under development expenditure. Development expenditure
costs include previously capitalised exploration and evaluation costs, pre-production development costs, development
excavation, development studies and other subsurface expenditure pertaining to that area of interest.

Costs related to surface plant and equipment and any associated land and buildings are accounted for as property,
plant  and  equipment.  Development  costs  are  accumulated  in  respect  of  each  separate  area  of  interest.  Costs
associated with commissioning new assets in the period before they are capable of operating in the manner intended
by management, are capitalised. Development costs incurred after the commencement of production are capitalised
to the extent they are expected to give rise to a future economic benefit. Amortisation of carried forward exploration
and development costs is charged on a unit of production basis over the life of economically recoverable reserves.

Page 44

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
When  an  area  of  interest  is  abandoned  or  the  Directors  decide  it is  not  commercial  or  technically  feasible,  any
accumulated  cost  in  respect  of  that  area  is  written  off  in  the  financial  period  the  decision  is  made.  Each  area  of
interest  is  reviewed  at  the  end  of  each  accounting  period  and  accumulated  cost  written  off  to the  Statement  of
Comprehensive Income to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the future.

Development assets are assessed for impairment if facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds
the recoverable amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, development assets are allocated to cash generating
units to which the development activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.

J.

Rehabilitation expenditure

The  mining,  extraction and  processing  activities  of  the  Company  give  rise  to  obligations  for  site  rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation  obligations  can  include  facility  decommissioning  and  dismantling,  removal  or  treatment  of  waste
materials, land rehabilitation and site restoration. The extent of work required and the associated costs are estimated
based  on  feasibility  and  engineering  studies  using  current  restoration  standards  and  techniques.  Provisions  for  the
cost of each rehabilitation programme are recognised at the time that environmental disturbance occurs.
Rehabilitation provisions are initially measured at the expected value of future cash flows required to rehabilitate the
relevant site, discounted to their present value. The value of the provision is progressively increased over time as the
effect  of  discounting  unwinds.  When  provisions  for  rehabilitation  are  initially  recognised,  the  corresponding  cost  is
capitalised as an asset, representing part of the cost of acquiring the future economic benefits of the operation. The
capitalised  cost  of  rehabilitation  activities  is  recognised  in  ‘Development  Expenditure’  as  rehabilitation  assets  and
amortised accordingly.

Where rehabilitation is expected to be conducted systematically over the life of the operation, rather than at the time
of  closure,  provision  is  made  for  the  present  obligation  or  estimated  outstanding  continuous  rehabilitation  work  at
each Consolidated Statement of Financial Performance date and the costs charged to the Consolidated Statement of
Comprehensive Income in line with remaining future cash flows.

K.

Segment Reporting

Segment  results  are  reported  to  the  Board  of  Directors  (chief  operating  decision  maker)  and  include  items  directly
attributable to a segment as  well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unless  stated otherwise, all
amounts  reported  to  the  Board  of  Directors  as  the  chief  decision  maker  with  respect  to  operating  segments  are
determined  in  accordance  with  accounting  policies  that  are  consistent  with  those  adopted  in  the Annual Financial
Statements of the Company.

L.

Financial Instruments

l.i Recognition

Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related
contractual  rights  or  obligations  exist.  Subsequent  to  initial  recognition these  instruments  are  measured  as  set out
below.

l.ii Financial assets at fair value through Profit and Loss

A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so
designated  by  management and  within  the  requirements  of  AASB  139:  Recognition  and  Measurement  of  Financial
Instruments.  Realised  and  unrealised  gains  and  losses  arising  from  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  these  assets  are
included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year which they arise.

l.iii Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in
an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

l.iv Fair value

The  fair  value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be  estimated  for recognition and measurement or  for
disclosure purposes.

In the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the fair value of financial instruments traded in active

Page 45

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market
prices.  The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables is assumed to approximate their fair
values  due  to  their  short-term  nature.    The  fair  value  of  financial  liabilities  for  disclosure  purposes  is  estimated  by
discounting the future contractual cash follows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for
similar financial instruments.

l.v

Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been
impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is
considered  to  determine  whether  impairment  has  arisen.  Impairment  losses  are  recognised  in  the  Consolidated
Statement of Comprehensive Income.

At  each  reporting  date,  the  Group  reviews  the  carrying  values  of  its  tangible  and  intangible  assets to  determine
whether  there  is  any  indication  that  those  assets  have  been  impaired.  If  such  an  indication  exists,  the  recoverable
amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the
asset’s  carrying  value.  Any  excess  of  the  asset’s  carrying  value  over  its  recoverable  amount  is  expensed  to  the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Impairment  testing  is  performed  annually  for  goodwill  and  intangible  assets  with  indefinite  lives.  Where  it  is  not
possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of
the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

M. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

m.i. Functional and Presentation Currency

The functional currency of each of the Company’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars
which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

m.ii. Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of
the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate.  Non-monetary items
measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary
items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange  differences  arising  on  the  translation  of  monetary  items  are  recognised  in  the  Consolidated  Statement  of
Comprehensive Income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. Exchange
differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the
gain  or  loss  is  directly  recognised  in  equity;  otherwise  the  exchange  difference  is  recognised  in  the  Consolidated
Statement of Comprehensive Income.

m.iii.Group Companies

The  financial  results  and  position  of  foreign  operations  whose  functional  currency is  different  from  the  Company’s
presentation currency are translated as follows:





assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date; and

income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year.

Exchange  differences  arising  on  translation  of  foreign  operations  are  transferred  directly  to  the  group’s  foreign
currency  translation  reserve  in  the  Statement  of  Financial  Position.    These  differences  are  recognised  in  the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year in which the operation is disposed.

N. Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the  Company’s liability for employee benefits arising  from  services rendered by employees to
reporting  date.  Employee  benefits  that  are  expected  to  be  settled  within  one  year  have  been  measured  at  the
amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs.  Employee benefits payable later than

Page 46

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

one year  have  been  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the  estimated  future  cash  outflows  to  be  made  for  those
benefits.

n.i Equity settled compensation

The bonus element over the exercise price of the employee services rendered in exchange for the grant of options is
recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.  The total amount to be expensed
over the vesting year is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted.

n.ii Share-based payments

The  Company  provides  benefits  to  employees  (including  Directors)  of  the  Company  in  the  form  of  share-based
payment  transactions,  whereby  employees  render  services  in  exchange  for  shares  or  rights  over  shares  (“equity-
settled transactions”). The cost of these equity settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the
fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation and an external
valuation using the Black-Scholes model.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the year
in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully
entitled  to  the  award  (“vesting  date”).  The  cumulative  expense  recognised  for  equity-settled  transactions  at  each
reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of
awards that, in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, will ultimately vest.

This opinion  is  formed  based  on  the  best  available  information  at  reporting  date.  No  adjustment  is  made  for  the
likelihood  of  market  performance  conditions  being  met  as  the  effect  of  these  conditions  is  included  in  the
determination of fair value at grant date.  No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for
awards where vesting is conditional upon market condition. Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated
as  if  it  had  vested  on  the  date  of  cancellation,  and  any  expense  not  yet  recognised  for  the  award  is  recognised
immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award
on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original
award.

O. Provisions

Provisions  are  recognised  when  the  Company  has  a  legal  or  constructive  obligation,  as  a  result  of  past  events,  for
which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

P. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  includes  cash  on  hand,  deposits  held  at  call  with  banks,  other  short-term  highly  liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.  Bank overdrafts are shown within
short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position.

Q. Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of gross consideration received or receivable. IEC recognises revenue when the
amount of revenue can be reliably measured and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity.
The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measured until all contingencies relating to the sale have been
resolved.

q.i. Sale of coal

Revenue from the sale of goods and disposal of other assets is recognised when persuasive evidence, usually in the
form  of  an  executed  sales  agreement,  or  an  arrangement  exists,  indicating  there  has  been  a  transfer  of  risks  and
rewards to the customer, no further work or processing is required by the Company, the quantity and quality of the
goods  has  been  determined  with  reasonable  accuracy,  the  price  can  be  reasonably  estimated,  and  collectability  is
reasonably assured.

IEC recognises revenue  when the risks and rewards transfer to the buyer which is typically defined in the customer
contract.

q.ii. Drilling services

The  Group  recognises  revenue  from  rendering  of drilling services  in  proportion  to  the  stage  of  completion  of  the
transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed based on surveys of the work performed.

R.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Finance income and finance expense

r.i. Finance Income and finance expense

Finance income and expenses are recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial
assets and liabilities is the rate inherent in the instrument. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a
dividend has been established.

All finance income and expenses are stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) and local value added
tax (VAT).

S. Goods and Service Tax (GST) and Value Added Tax (VAT)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of respective GST or VAT, except where the amount
of  GST  or  VAT  incurred  is  not  recoverable  from  the  relevant  Tax  Office.    In  these  circumstances  the  GST  or  VAT  is
recognised  as  part  of  the  cost  of  acquisition  of  the  asset  or  as  part  of  an  item  of  the  expense.    Receivables  and
payables in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST or VAT.

Cash  flows  are  presented  in  the Consolidated Cash  Flow  Statement  on  a  gross  basis,  except  for  the  GST  or  VAT
component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

T.

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year
which are unpaid.  The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

U.

Leases

u.i. Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease

At inception of an arrangement, the Group determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease.

At inception or on reassessment of an arrangement that contains a lease, the Group separates payments and other
considerations required by the arrangement into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their
relative  fair  values.  If  the  Group  concludes  for  a  finance  lease  that  it  is  impracticable  to  separate  the  payments
reliably,  then  an  asset  and  a  liability  are  recognised  at  an  amount  equal  to  the  fair  value  of  the  underlying  asset;
subsequently, the liability is reduced as payments are made and an imputed finance cost on the liability is recognised
using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

u.ii. Leased assets

Assets  held  by  the  Group  under  lease, that  transfer  to  the  Group substantially  all  of  the  risks  and  rewards  of
ownership are classified as finance leases. The leased assets are measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of
fair  value  and  the  present  value  of  the  minimum  lease  payments.  Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  the  assets  are
accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.

Assets held under other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognised in the Group’s Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position.

u.iii. Leased payments

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the
lease.  Lease  incentives  received  are  recognised  as  an  integral  part  of  the  total  lease  expense,  over  the  term  of  the
lease.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction
of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a
constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

V. Earnings per share

v.i. Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding
any  costs  of  servicing  equity  other  than  ordinary  shares,  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares
outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

Page 48

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

v.ii. Diluted earnings per share

Diluted  earnings  per  share  adjust  the  figures  used  in  the  determination  of  basic  earnings  per  share  to  take  into
account the after income tax effect of  interest and other  financing costs associated  with dilutive potential ordinary
shares.

W. Assets held for sale

Non-current  assets,  or  disposal  groups  comprising  assets  and  liabilities,  are  classified  as  held  for  sale  if  it  is  highly
probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use.

Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs
to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and
liabilities  on  a  pro  rata  basis,  except  that  no  loss  is  allocated  to  inventories,  financial  assets,  deferred  tax  assets,
employee benefits assets which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group’s other accounting policies.

Once  classified  as  held  for  sale,  intangible  assets  and  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  no  longer  amortised  or
depreciated, and any equity accounted investee is no longer equity accounted.

X. Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies,  which are described in Note  1, management is required to
make  judgments,  estimates  and  assumptions  about  carrying  values  of  assets  and  liabilities  that  are  not  readily
apparent  from  other  sources.    The  estimates  and  associated  assumptions  are  based  on  historical  experience  and
various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis
of making the judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or, in the period of the
revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

x.i. Key Sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
reporting  date,  that  have  a  significant  risk  of  causing  a  material  adjustment  to  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and
liabilities within the next financial year:







Recoverability of exploration and evaluation expenditure
The recoverability of the capitalised acquisition expenditure recognised as a non-current asset is dependent
upon the successful development, or alternatively sale, of the respective tenements which comprise the
assets.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on
average  costs  over  the  relevant  period  of  production  and  includes  expenditure  in  accumulating  the
inventories,  production  costs  and  other  costs  incurred  in  bringing  them  to  their  existing  location  and
condition. Stockpile tonnages are verified by periodic surveys.
Rehabilitation
The  extent  of  work  required  and  the  associated  costs  are  estimated  based  on  feasibility  and  engineering
studies  using  current  restoration  standards  and  techniques.  Provisions  for  the  cost  of  each  rehabilitation
programme are recognised at the time that environmental disturbance occurs.

11. DISPOSAL GROUP HELD FOR SALE

In April 2014, management committed to joint venture part of its subsidiary AAA Drilling Limited (“AAA Mauritius”)
which  owns  100%  of  AAA  Drilling  Limited  (“AAA  Tanzania”),  a an  operating  drilling  company  in  Tanzania  that was
established to undertake drilling and logging for IEC entities and third party customers in Eastern Africa. Accordingly,
AAA Drilling Limited Group is presented as a disposal group held for sale.

Subsequent  to  30  June  2014, IEC  completed  the  transaction  of  the  joint  venture with  General  Petroleum  Oils  and
Tools Pty Limited (“GPOT”), a leading Queensland based provider of drilling supplies and consulting services to the oil
and gas industry. GPOT has acquired a 50% interest in AAA Mauritius. As part of the joint venture, GPOT is lending
A$700,000 to AAA Tanzania to be paid in three cash instalments, A$400,000 on completion, A$150,000 on or before
30 November 2014 and A$150,000 on or before 31 March 2015 for working capital.

IEC  and  GPOT  will  each  provide  an  additional  A$125,000  working  capital  and  provide  significant  technical  and
operational capabilities to AAA Tanzania. Both joint venture partners will have equal representation on the board and
appoint a Joint Operating Officer to the company.

The  recoverability  of  the  carrying  amount  of  exploration  assets  is  dependent  on  the  successful development  and
commercial  exploitation  or  sale  of  the  respective  mining  permits.  Amortisation  of  the  costs  carried  forward  for  the
development phase is not being charged pending the commencement of production.

On  4  April  2014  Intra  Energy’s  subsidiary  company  Tanzacoal  East  Africa  Mining  Limited  received  notice  from  the
Tanzanian Minister for Energy that Special Mining Licence SML235/2005 had been cancelled without consultation.

An impairment charge has  been  recognised  for  the  full  carrying  value  of  the  licence.  The  Company  believes  the
cancellation has been made in error and is seeking legal remedy to have the licence reinstated or compensation from
the Tanzanian Government.

On  23  October 2012,  two  subsidiaries,  Tancoal  Energy  Limited  and  AAA  Drilling  Limited  secured  loan  facilities  of
US$2.5m and US$1.4m respectively, with the National Bank of Commerce in Tanzania (“NBC”) (ultimately controlled
by Barclays Bank Plc).

On 26 September 2013, NBC approved an increase in the Tancoal loan facility of US$1m to US$3.5m

Each  facility  is  secured  against  plant  and  equipment. At  30  June  2014, A$1,733,000  has  been  drawn  against  the
Tancoal facility and A$835,000 has been drawn against the AAA Drilling facility (disclosed in liabilities held for sale in
Note 11). The facilities are amortised over a three year term and principal and interest repayments are made monthly.

The Tancoal loan facility requires compliance with the following financial covenants:

1.

Interest cover: EBITDA shall not fall below 2.0 times finance charges; and

2. Debt service cover: EBITDA to debt service (being principal and interest payments) shall not fall below 1.5 to 1.

Page 60

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

16.

INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES (CONT’D)

The AAA Drilling loan facility requires compliance with the following financial covenants:

Interest cover: EBITDA shall not fall below 3.5 times finance charges;

1.
2. Debt service cover: EBITDA to debt service (being principal and interest payments) shall not fall below 2.5 to 1;

and

3. Net  debt  gearing:  Gross  borrowings  less  cash  shall  not  exceed  100%  of  net  tangible  assets  in  2012  and  125%

thereafter.

These covenants are to be determined for each 12 month period ending 30 June. As at 30 June 2014, the Company
was in breach of covenants 1 and 2 on the Tancoal loan facility and in breach of covenants 1, 2 and 3 of the AAA loan
facility. The Company has satisfied all agreed repayments for both loan facilities to 30 June 2014.

Subsequent to balance date, the Company received from the NBC, formal acknowledgment of the pre-notification of
the  expected  covenant  breaches  in  Tancoal  and  AAA  Drilling.  The  NBC  has  provided  a  waiver against  immediately
recalling  the  loans  based  on  the  expected  breaches  subject  to  the companies  meeting  their on-going  compliance
obligations under the original payment schedule as specified in the facility agreements. The NBC has reserved its right
to  perform  its  annual  review  following  receipt  of  the audited  accounts  of  the  companies,  in  which  the  bank  will
perform a holistic assessment of the financial health of the companies and, despite the current waiver, reserves its
right to further action.

The loan amount is secured against the Company’s mining assets and drilling rigs. These loans mature in December
2015.

Bank overdraft facility

On 26 September 2013, NBC approved a US$0.5m working capital facility to support the monthly working capital cycle
of Tancoal. Interest is charged on the facility at a rate of 8% per annum. The overdraft is not subject to any covenant
requirements.

Hire purchase

On  28  August  2013,  IEC’s  subsidiary  Malcoal  Mining  Limited  entered  into  a  hire  purchase  arrangement  to  finance
mining  equipment  at  the  Malcoal  Mine  in  Malawi.  The  agreement  term  is  5  years  with  an  option  to  purchase  the
equipment at the conclusion of the term.

22. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS

On 4 April 2014 the Company received notice from the Tanzanian Minister of Energy and Minerals that licence SML
235/2005, held by IEC subsidiary company Tanzacoal East Africa Mining Limited, had been cancelled. As a result an
impairment  of  $13,413,000  was recorded  during  the  period.  The  Company  has  sought  legal  recourse  to  have  the
licence  re-instated and  should  the  Company  be  successful  then  any  re-instatement  or  recompense  would  result  in
benefit to the Group.

The Directors are not aware of any further contingent liabilities or contingent assets at 30 June 2014.

23. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company operates in two geographical segments being Australia and Africa.

Segment information

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the
Board  of  Directors  (chief  operating  decision  maker)  in  assessing  performance  and  determining  the  allocation  of
resources. The Company’s business is the exploration, evaluation, marketing, production and sale of coal in Africa.

‘Other’ recognises the non-operating entities incorporated in Singapore and Malaysia.

Basis of Accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments

Accounting policies adopted

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker with respect to
operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent with those adopted in
the annual Financial Statements of the Group.

Inter-segment  loans  payable  and  receivable  are  initially recognised  at  the  consideration  received  net  of  transaction
costs. If inter-segment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value
based on market interest rates.

Segment assets

Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of
economic  value  from  the  asset.  In  the  majority  of  instances,  segment  assets  are  clearly  identifiable  on  the  basis  of
their  nature  and  physical  location.  Unless  indicated  otherwise  in  the  segment  assets  note,  investments  in  financial
assets, deferred tax assets and intangible assets have not been allocated to operating segments.

Segment liabilities

Liabilities are  allocated  to  segments  where  there  is  a  direct  nexus  between  the  incurrence  of  the  liability  and  the
operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole
and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables.

Notes to and forming part of the segment information

The consolidation adjustments represent the elimination of inter-segment loan balances and transactions.

Accounting policies

Segment information is prepared in conformity with the accounting policies of the entity as per Accounting Standard
AASB 8 Operating Segments.

No shares or options were granted by the Company during the 2014 or 2013 years.

25(b) Performance rights

2014

The Board  of  Intra  Energy  Corporation  resolved  that  the Company  would  not  adopt  an  employee  incentive
scheme  for  the  2014  financial  year. As  such,  no  performance  rights  were  granted  as  part  of  the  incentive
scheme.

On  22  January  2014 Shareholders  approved  the  issue  of  performance  rights  to  the  Executive  Directors  and
Senior Management of IEC in exchange for a voluntarily reduction in their cash remuneration for the six month
period  from  1  January  to  30  June  2014.  Executive  Directors  voluntarily  elected  a  20%  reduction  in  base
remuneration  (excluding  superannuation)  and  the Senior  Management  elected  a  10%  reduction  in  exchange
for performance rights as a short term cash saving measure. The Executive Directors and Senior Management
were granted a fixed number of IEC performance rights based on their remuneration deferral. The performance
rights  will  only  vest  after  12  months  providing  the  employee  remains  in  service  with  the  Company.  On  22
January 2014, 1,381,025 performance rights were issued as a result.

The performance rights issued to Executive Directors are not subject to market based performance conditions
and were  valued  using  the Black-Scholes  method. Performance  rights  issued  to  Senior  Management  were
issued in two tranches. Tranche 1 will only vest after 12 months providing the employee remains in service with
the Company. Tranche 2 will vest if one of the following occurs:
 An  increase  of  at  least  50%  between  the  closing  IEC  share  price  on  the  date  of  the  2013  AGM  Notice  of
Meeting and the 30 day VWAP calculated on the date of the release of the audited financial statements for
the year ended 30 June 2014; or

 The audited financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2014 show the Company has made a profit.
An  expense of $74,813 was  recognised in  the  year relating  to  2014  performance  rights  issued  to  both
Executive Directors and Senior Management.

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

25. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS (CONT’D)

Performance  Rights for  the  2013  and  2012  incentive  schemes were  provisionally  expensed  in  the  period.  As
stated in the Remuneration Report there are two measures of performance for Directors and three measures
for  senior  management  who  participate  in the  incentive  scheme.  It  is  not  considered  likely  that  the  internal
measure (EPS) will be met over the vesting period and no provision has been made. The vesting of the external
measured rights will be subject to IEC’s TSR outperforming the S&P/ASX300 Energy Index (ASX: XEK) over the
vesting  period.  A  valuation  methodology  was  constructed  using  a  Monte  Carlo  simulation  to  generate  a  fair
value  at grant  date.  The  fair  value  was  deemed  to  be  0.17  cents  per  performance  right  share.  This  will  be
expensed over the vesting period of three years.

The  market based performance incentive was  valued as at grant date using a  Monte Carlo simulation model
resulting in a fair value of 17 cents per share of the performance rights issued. This resulted in $246,768 being
expensed in the year.

2013

A total of 5,987,061 performance rights were granted to the Company’s key personnel during the year.

Performance Rights were provisionally expensed in the period. As stated in the Remuneration Report there are
two measures of performance for Directors and three measures for senior management who participate in the
incentive scheme. It is not considered likely that the internal measure (EPS) will be met over the vesting period
and  no  provision  has  been  made.  The  vesting  of  the  external  measured  rights  will  be  subject  to  IEC’s  TSR
outperforming the S&P/ASX300 Energy Index (ASX: XEK) over the vesting period. A valuation methodology was
constructed using a Monte Carlo simulation to generate a fair value at grant date. The fair value was deemed to
be 0.17 cents per performance right share. This will be expensed over the vesting period of three years.

The  market based performance incentive was  valued as at grant date using a  Monte Carlo simulation model
resulting in a fair value of 17 cents per share of the performance rights issued. This resulted in $189,022 being
expensed in the year.

26. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On 31 July 2014, Mr Gideon Nasari resigned as a Non-Executive Director of the Company. On the same date
David Mason transitioned to a Non-Executive Director.

On 14 August 2014 the Company announced completion of a private placement to sophisticated investors of
51,852,851 shares in IEC at a share price of $0.027 per share, raising $1.4 million before transaction costs. Each
shareholder  participating  in  the  private  placement  will  receive  two  unlisted  options  for  nil  consideration  for
every five ordinary shares. The options will be exercisable at any time prior to 31 August 2015 at an exercise
price  of  $0.05.  27,777,778  ordinary  shares  and 11,111,107  options were  issued  on  15  August  2014  with  the
remainder being 24,074,074 shares and 9,629,628 options to be issued to IEC Directors, subject to shareholder
approval at the Company’s AGM.

AAA  Drilling  has  recently completed  the  transaction to enter  into  a  joint  venture  agreement  with  General
Petroleum Oils and Tools Pty Limited (“GPOT”), a Queensland based provider of drilling supplies and consulting
services to the oil and gas industry. GPOT has acquired a 50% interest in AAA Drilling Limited (“AAA Mauritius”),
a wholly owned Mauritian subsidiary of IEC.

The  Mauritian  subsidiary  has  itself  a  subsidiary,  AAA  Drilling  Limited  (“AAA  Tanzania”),  an  operating  drilling
company in Tanzania.  GPOT is seeking to expand AAA Tanzania’s operations in Eastern Africa and will apply its
capabilities to offer the equipment of AAA to new contracts in the region after satisfying the exploration and
development program of IEC.

As part of the joint venture, GPOT is lending A$700,000 to AAA Tanzania to be paid in three cash instalments,
A$400,000 on completion, A$150,000 on or before 30 November 2014 and A$150,000 on or before 31 March
2015 for working capital.

IEC and GPOT will each provide an additional A$125,000 working capital and provide significant technical and
operational  capabilities  to  AAA  Tanzania.  Both  joint  venture  partners  will  have  equal  representation  on  the
board and appoint a Joint Operating Officer to the company.

Subsequent  to  balance  date,  the  Group  received  from  the  National  Bank  of  Commerce  in  Tanzania  (“NBC”),
formal acknowledgment of the pre-notification of the expected covenant breaches in Tancoal and AAA Drilling.

Page 67

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

26. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONT’D)

The NBC has provided a waiver against immediately recalling the loans based on the expected breaches subject
to  the  companies  meeting  their  on-going  compliance  obligations  under  the  original  payment  schedule  as
specified  in  the  facility  agreements.  The  NBC  has  reserved  its  right  to  perform  its  annual  review  following
receipt of the audited accounts of the companies, in which the bank will perform a holistic assessment of the
financial health of the companies and, despite the current waiver, reserves its right to further action. The loan
amount is secured against the Company’s mining assets and drilling rigs.

Other than those events outlined above, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial
year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the
opinion of the Directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of the Company, the results of
those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company, in future financial years.

disclosures are included throughout this financial report.

Page 69

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT’D)

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management
framework.

Risk  management policies are  established  to  identify  and  analyse  the  risks  faced  by  the  Company,  to  set
appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits.  Risk management policies
and systems are reviewed to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities.  The Company,
through  their  training  and  management  standards  and  procedures,  aim  to  develop  a  disciplined  and
constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument
fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers
and investment securities.

Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The
Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

The Company’s receivables relate to GST and other taxation (including VAT and WHT receivables) due from the
Australian and Tanzanian taxation offices and trade receivables from coal sales.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The
Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring
unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. The Board monitors liquidity risk on a
monthly basis.

Sensitivity analysis

The Consolidated Entity’s policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its
liabilities when they become due.  To achieve this aim, it seeks to maintain cash balances to meet expected
requirements for a period of at least twelve months.

The Board receives cash flow projections on a monthly basis as well as information regarding cash balances.  At
the balance sheet date, these projections indicated that the Group expected to have sufficient liquid resources
to meet its obligations, and forward expenditure commitments, under all reasonably expected circumstances

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and
excluding the impact of netting agreements:

28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT’D)

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and equity prices will affect the
Company’s  income  or  the  value  of  its  holdings  of  financial  instruments.  The  objective  of  market  risk
management  is  to  manage  and  control  market  risk  exposures  within  acceptable  parameters,  while
optimising the return.

(i) Interest rate risk

Profile

At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Company’s interest-bearing financial instruments was:

(4,155)

(4,067)

2013

$’000S

(3,369)

The Company’s cash at bank and on hand and short term deposits had a weighted average floating interest
rate at year end of 0%. The Company currently does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to
manage interest rate risk.

Interest rate sensitivity

A sensitivity of 10% has been selected as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both short
term  and  long  term  interest  rates.  A  10%  movement  in  interest  rates  at  the  reporting  date  would  have
increased (decreased) equity and profit and loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that
all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.

28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT’D)

Fair values versus Carrying amounts

The Group’s  accounting  policies  and disclosures  may  require  the  measurement  of  fair  values  for  both
financial  and  non-financial  assets  and  liabilities.  The  Group  has  an  established framework  for  fair  value
measurement. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable
data where available.

Fair  values  are  categorised  into  different  levels  in  a  fair  value  hierarchy  based  on  the  following  valuation
techniques:






Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level  2:  inputs  other  than  quoted  prices  included  in  Level  1  that  are  observable  for  the  asset  or
liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable
inputs).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability can be categorised in different levels of
the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of
the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The  Group  recognises  transfers  between  levels  of  the  fair  value  hierarchy  at  the  end  of  the  reporting
period during which the change has occurred.

Fair values of recognised financial assets and liabilities with their carrying amounts shown in the balance
sheet are as follows:

28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT’D)

Estimation of fair values

Due to the introduction of AASB 13 in 2013, the framework for measuring fair value has changed. The following
summarises the major methods and assumptions used in estimating fair values of financial instruments:

(1)

Receivables/payables

For  receivables/payables  with  a  remaining  life  of  less  than  six  months,  the  notional  amount  is  deemed  to
reflect the fair value. All other receivables/payables are discounted to determine the fair value, if the effect of
discounting is material.

(2)

Interest bearing liabilities

The fair value is estimated at the present value of future cash outflows. Future cash flows are discounted using
appropriate market rates.

(ii)

Foreign currency risk

As a result of activities overseas, the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position can be affected
by movements in exchange rates.

The Company also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from transactions dominated in
currencies other than the functional currency of the entity.

The Company currently does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage foreign currency
risk.

The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk throughout the current year primarily arose from the Group’s
100% interest in Intra Energy (Tanzania) Limited and AAA Drilling, and its controlling interests in Tancoal and
Tanzacoal  (collectively  “Tanzanian subsidiaries”),  whose  functional  currencies  are  Tanzanian  Shillings.
Additionally the Company has exposure to foreign currency risk through the Group’s 90% interest in Malcoal
Mining Limited and 100% interest in Intra Energy Trading Malawi Limited (collectively “Malawian subsidiaries”),
whose functional currencies are Malawian Kwacha. Foreign currency risk arises on translation of the net assets
of these entities to Australian dollars. The foreign currency gains or losses arising from this risk are recorded
through the foreign currency translation reserve.

The Company is additionally exposed to the USD by way of its USD denominated loans to the National Bank of
Commerce in Tanzania. The foreign currency gains or losses arising from this risk are recorded in the Statement
of Comprehensive Income.

Sensitivity Analysis for Foreign Currency risk

A  sensitivity  of  10%  has  been  selected  as  this  is  considered  reasonable  given  historic  and  potential  future
changes  in  foreign  currency  rates.  This  has  been  applied  to the  net  assets  of  the  Company.  This  sensitivity
analysis is prepared at reporting date.

A 10% strengthening of the Australian dollar against the Tanzanian Shilling and Malawian Kwatcha at 30 June
2014 would  have  decreased  the  net  liabilities  of  the  Tanzanian and  Malawian subsidiaries by  A$2,982,000.
(2013:  $736,000). A  10%  weakening  of  the  Australian  dollar  against  the  Tanzanian  Shilling and  Malawian
Kwatcha at 30 June 2014 would have increased the net liabilities of the Tanzanian and Malawian subsidiaries by
A$3,280,000 (2013: $899,000).

There  would  be  no  impact  on  profit  or  loss  arising  from  these  changes  in  the  currency  risk  variables  as  all
changes in value are taken to a reserve.

A 10% strengthening  of  the  Australian  dollar  against  the United  States  dollar at  30  June  2014  would  have
increased net interest bearing liabilities of the NBC loan and hire purchases by A$406,000 (2013: $306,000). A
10% weakening of the Australian dollar against the United States dollar at 30 June 2014 would have increased
net interest bearing liabilities of the NBC loan by A$446,000 (2013: $337,000).

28. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT’D)

The impact  on  profit  or  loss  arising  from  changes  in  this currency  risk  variables would  be taken  to the
Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The  above  analysis  assumes  that  all  other  variables,  in  particular  interest  rates  and  equity  prices,  remain
constant.

Capital management

The  Board’s  policy  is  to  maintain  a  strong  capital  base  so  as  to  maintain  investor,  creditor  and  market
confidence. There  were  no  changes  in  the  Company’s  approach  to  capital  management  during  the  year.
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
