Chairman’s Report 

On behalf of the Board of Intra Energy Corporation Limited ("IEC"," Intra Energy" or "the  Company"), it is my 
pleasure to present the Annual Financial Report for 2015 and this summary of the operating year. 

Intra  Energy  remains  the  major  producer  and  supplier  of  industrial  coal  in  Eastern  Africa  and  continues  to 
expand  sales  with  0.27million  tonnes  in  2015,  a  35.7%  increase  over  0.20  million  tonnes  the  previous  year. 
Sales revenue was US$12.48 million and regions supplied were Tanzania (85%), Kenya (8%) and Malawi (7%). It 
is  noteworthy  that  65%  of  sales  were  to  the  cement  industry,  a  sign  of  strong  economic  growth  in  Eastern 
Africa, and confirming that it is undergoing rapid expansion with three new cement production facilities coming 
on  stream  in  the  next  12  months.  The  Company  expects  to  capture  a  share  of  this  market  expansion  and  is 
undertaking mine planning measures to cater for production increases. 

Despite this expanding market  propelled by what is arguably one of the highest growth regions internationally, 
market  conditions  for  coal  supply  have  become  very  competitive  with  South  African  and  Mozambique 
producers  backed  by  traders  attacking  IEC  markets  in  both  Tanzania  and  Malawi.  This  has  created  further 
pressure on pricing. The challenge of imported coal has been presented to both the Tanzanian and Malawian 
Governments who are sympathetic to Intra Energy's subsidiaries, Tancoal Energy Limited and Malcoal Mining 
Limited.  They  are  taking  measures  to  ensure  imported  coal  has  no  unfair  advantage  over  the  domestic  coal 
supply.  

The  Company  is  also  operating  under  very  tight  fiscal  conditions  with  no  wasteful  expenditure.  IEC  has  the 
support  of  the  Kenya  Commercial  Bank,  a  regional  bank  which  has  increased  the  overdraft  facility  from 
US$0.5m to US$1.0m. It is expected that cash will be  constrained well into the next Financial Year. However, 
the Company is surviving unlike others in the same industry in major western coal producing countries. In 2014 
the trading loss for Intra Energy was A$7.4m and this position improved significantly to a trading loss of A$1.4m 
in  the  2015  year.  In  terms  of  operating  entities,  Tancoal  Energy  Limited,  had  a  trading  profit  of  A$1.6m,  of 
which  IEC  has  a  70%  interest.  With  forecast  increased  supply  tonnage  in  the  next  year  the  overall  result  is 
expected to show improvement in bottom line results. 

The total loss of $20.8m in 2014 included the impairment of $13.4m from the loss of the Mining Licence held 
by Tanzacoal, an 85% owned subsidiary of IEC.  Legal action was undertaken to recover the Mining Licence or 
compensate  IEC  for  its  loss.  The  court  rulings  to  date  have  been  positive  to  the  Company  but  the  final 
proceedings of the court are pending a specific date when the Judgement will be delivered. Both the Company 
and  the  Ministry  of Energy  and  Minerals  are  prevented  from  resolving  this  matter  until  the  court  decision  is 
issued. 

IEC continues to sponsor the development of the 120MW (net) "Pamodzi" coal-fired power station in Malawi 
and has initialled the Term Sheet to the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for the power station. The Attorney 
General has given approval to the Government to sign the PPA Term Sheet and the Company expects this to 
occur shortly. Discussions are being held with several parties interested in participating in the development of 
the power station and IEC expects to select a partner over the coming year.  

Expressions of interest have also been received from potential participants for project "Ngaka", a 200MW (net) 
mine-mouth  power  station  sited  at  Tancoal  Energy  Limited’s  Ngaka  mine.  It  is  considered  timely  to  re-start 
discussions with the Tanzanian Government. The Ngaka coal deposit has attractive lower ash and sulphur and 
higher heating properties than other Tanzanian coals.  The construction of a  220kVa transmission connection 
between  Makambako  and  the  nearby  town  of  Songea  is  underway  supported  by  overseas  aid  contributions. 
This transmission line is expected to connect Project Ngaka with the Tanzanian national electricity grid. 

Both  Tancoal  and  Malcoal  mining  operations  are  professionally  planned  and  the  focus  is  on  improving 
efficiency in the operations.  

IEC  partners  in  significant  community  development  with  the  local  Women’s  Group  and  by  contributing  to 
education and other local infrastructure including the planning and intended construction of a dedicated haul 
road  which  will  eliminate  village  impact  of  trucking  operations.  Malcoal  employs  extensively  from  the  local 
community with a significant percentage of female operators at the mine site.

Chairman’s Report 

Despite a challenging year, Intra Energy has made substantial progress in the improvement of operating skills, 
planning and production to service market growth. Government support is important in creating a competitive 
environment  and  it  is  pleasing  to  see  this  occurring  in  support  of  "East  African  Coal  for  East  African 
Development". 

Sincerely 

Graeme Robertson 
Chairman – Intra Energy Corporation Limited

Review of Operations 

MINING OPERATIONS 

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,  with  a 
particular focus on Tanzanian industrial users. 

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

During  the  year  a  Caterpillar  D10  bulldozer  was  acquired  as  well  as  a  second  crushing  plant.    Mine  planning 
optimisation  work  completed  during  the  year  increased  the  potential  for  production  capacity  to  600,000 
tonnes  per  annum,  utilising  existing  machinery  and  occasional  hire  equipment.    The  short  term  focus  is  to 
expand the customer base such that this level of production is reached.  New industrial projects, including new 
cement factories, in Tanzania alone have the potential to cover this increase in coal sales expected in 2016. 

As at 30 June 2015, approximately 28,000 tonnes was held in stockpiles and more than 70,000 tonnes of coal 
had been partially stripped.  Coal quality has consistently met with client specifications. 

Product coal is distributed from a stockpile at Kitai, some 50 kilometres from the mine pit.  It is trucked to this 
location.  During the year an expansion of the stockyard was completed, which is sufficient for loading up to 
the current annual mine production capacity noted above. 

Also  during  the  year  two  potential  haul  road  routes  from  the  Tancoal  mine  to  major  roads  were  surveyed.  
Following preliminary feasibility analysis a preferred route has been selected and capital allocated for detailed 
design and project costing.  Subject to funding, it is planned to commence construction of this haul road during 
2016.  This road will allow customer trucks to directly access the mine for loading, resulting in transport cost 
savings.  

MALCOAL (MALAWI) 

Malcoal  Mining  Limited  (“Malcoal”)  is  a  joint  venture  between  IEC  (90%)  and  its  local  partner,  Consolidated 
Mining Industries Limited (“CMI”) (10%). Malcoal is an important part of IEC’s Eastern African strategy to be the 
dominant coal supplier in the region.

Malcoal continues to grow slowly and to push into supplying more of the Malawi industrial market.  There is 
limited  scope for regional exports given logistics  challenges  and  existing coal mines  in Mozambique, Zambia, 
and Zimbabwe. 

As at 30 June 2015 3,900 tonnes of coal was held in stockpiles. 

A haul road was planned for construction during the financial year however it has been delayed due to the wet 
season and then the withdrawal of the nominated contractor.  It is now planned for 2016. 

Laboratory equipment is currently on order which will further assist with timely quality assurance.

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. 

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. Initiatives 
undertaken  included  improvement  of  storm  water  management  systems  at  both  Tancoal  and  Malcoal  by 
construction  of  trenches  and  ponds,  which  eliminated  stream  water  pollution,  and  tree  transplanting 
surrounding the Tancoal mine, Kitai stockpile and surrounding villages. 

PROJECTS 

POWER STATION DEVELOPMENT 

IEC  continues  to  sponsor  two  major  coal-fired  energy  projects,  Project  Pamodzi  and  Project  Ngaka.    The 
sponsor’s 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 FY15, IEC was again identifying potential joint venture partners for both projects who can add expertise 
and resources to the projects during development, construction and operations. 

PROJECT NGAKA (TANZANIA) – 200 MW (NET) 

In the latter part of 2014 the Tanzanian regulator Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (“EWURA”) 
introduced new guidelines for the establishment of new independent power projects.  These guidelines include 
tariff ranges and a model power purchase agreement.  Importantly, all projects are now assessed and approved 
by EWURA. 

A new Minister was appointed to the Ministry of Energy and Minerals in January 2015. This appointment, along 
with the aforementioned guidelines, is a positive development for Project Ngaka.  

PROJECT PAMODZI (MALAWI) – 120 MW (NET) 

In December 2014 PPA term sheet negotiations with ESCOM were concluded and the term sheet was initialled.  
Approval  for  execution  has  been  given  by  IEC’s  board,  and  the  Attorney  General’s  office  in  Malawi  has  also 
approved the term sheet.  It is currently being circulated amongst ESCOM’s board for final execution approval.  
The delay in execution stems from ESCOM having a new board constituted in March 2015. 

IEC  entered  into  a  mandate  with  Standard  Bank  South  Africa  in  May  2015  with  respect  to  sourcing  a  joint 
venture  partner  for  Project  Pamodzi.    The  mandate  is  structured  on  a  success  only  basis.    Two  potential 
partners have been identified and they are currently undertaking due diligence. 

DRILLING 

In  September  2014  IEC  completed  a  joint  venture  transaction  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  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. AAA Tanzania is seeking to expand its operations in Eastern Africa. 

As  part  of  the  transaction,  GPOT  loaned  A$700,000  to  AAA  Tanzania  and  IEC  and  GPOT  each  provided  an 
additional A$125,000 working capital. Both joint venture partners have equal representation on the board.  IEC 
is obligated to provide AAA Tanzania with US$200,000 of drilling work each year, and this obligation forms the 
substantive part of AAA Tanzania’s recent work and immediate pipeline.  A major contract is also being pursued 
in Zimbabwe.

Review of Operations 

CORPORATE 

During the financial year changes were made to the corporate functions of IEC and its subsidiaries to reduce 
ongoing administration costs.  The full benefit of these reductions will be recognised in the next financial year. 

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  the 
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. 

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.  

During the year the Women’s Group commenced agency services for a major Tanzanian bank, meaning village 
residents now have access to banking services without travelling to the nearest major town.  As well, significant 
progress  was  made  in  having  a  coal  briquette  certified  by  the  Tanzanian  Bureau  of  Standards.    These  coal 
briquettes are an alternative to charcoal.  Charcoal production is one of the major contributors to deforestation 
in Tanzania. 

EDUCATION 

Education for the local communities is very important. During the year Tancoal supplied sporting equipment to 
local schools as well as materials for school building projects. 

COMMUNITY AND HEALTH 

During  the  year  Tancoal  provided  materials  to  assist  in  the  construction  of  two  local  village  medical 
dispensaries.  As well, provision of clean water to the village closest to the mine was ongoing. 

MALAWI 

Intra Energy facilitated the establishment of a group of local women to provide catering services for Malcoal 
mine workers, as well as setting up an agricultural program.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE 

As at the date of signing this report, the Company had 351,268,725 fully paid ordinary shares on issue. 

DIVIDEND 

No dividend was paid or declared during the year ended 30 June 2015.  

CASH FROM OPERATIONS 

The net  cash  inflow from operations of  $0.94m was  a  turnaround from the net  cash  outflow in the previous 
year  of  $3.39m,  the  improved  cash  performance  was  due  to  improved  operating  activities  arising  from  an 
increase in coal tonnes sold. 

The net cash inflow from operations was funded by a US$0.5m working capital facility, increased to US$1.0m in 
July 2015 combined with proceeds from a Share Purchase Plan concluded  during the first half of the financial 
year raising $1.53m, net of costs. The Company had a net overdraft of $0.60m at year end with $0.04m cash at 
bank and a bank overdraft facility of $0.64m.

2015. 

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

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS 

The Company has entered into Directors’ Access Indemnity and Insurance Deeds (“Deed”) with each Director. 
Under  the  Deed,  the  Company  indemnifies  the  Directors  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 Directors in connection 
with  the  Directors  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 Deed.  

Also  pursuant  to  the  Deed,  the  Company  must  insure  the  Directors  against  liability  and  provide  access  to  all 
board papers relevant to defending any claim brought against the Directors in their capacity as officers of the 
Company. Amounts disclosed for remuneration of directors and specified officers exclude insurance premiums 
of $18,568  (2014:  $23,105) paid by the Company in respect of  liability for any current  and former Directors, 
executive  officers  and  secretaries  of  the  Company  and  its  controlled  entities.  This  amount  has  not  been 
allocated to the individuals covered by the insurance policy as, based on all available information, the Directors 
believe that no reasonable basis for such allocation exists. 

LOANS TO DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVES 

No loans were made to any Directors or Executives during the financial year. 

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.  

The  Company  is  committed  to  ensuring  that  its  systems,  procedures  and  practices  reflect  a  high  standard  of 
corporate  governance.    The  Directors  believe  that  the  corporate  governance  framework  is  critical  in 
maintaining  high  standards  of  corporate  governance  and  fostering  a  culture  that  values  ethical  behaviour, 
integrity and respect to protect security holders’ and other stakeholders’ interests at all times. 

During the year ended 30 June 2015, the Company’s corporate governance framework was consistent with the 
third  edition  of  the  Corporate  Governance  Principles  and  Recommendations  released  by  the  ASX  Corporate 
Governance Council. 

The  Company  will  now  publish  its  Corporate  Governance  statement  on  its  website  rather  than  in  its  Annual 
Report.

www.intraenergycorp.com.au. Copies of the Group policies referred to in the Corporate Governance Statement 
are also posted on the website.

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 
2015. 

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 

At  30  June  2015,  the  Remuneration  Committee  (“the  Committee”)  comprised  of  three  members,  two  Non-
Executive Directors and the Non-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 
August  2013  (when  the  Board  resolved  that  the  employee  incentive  scheme  would  be  suspended),  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 16 

 
 
 
 
 
Remuneration Report 

In August 2013, the Board resolved that the employee incentive scheme would be suspended for an indefinite 
period. 

On 22 January 2014, Shareholders approved the issue of performance rights to the Executive Directors (as at 
this date) 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. The Executive Directors at the time 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. These Executive Directors 
and Senior Management were granted a fixed number of IEC performance rights based on their remuneration 
deferral.  The  1,295,698  performance  rights  issued  to  the  Senior  Management  and  these  Executive  Directors 
(now Non-Executive Directors) vested in January 2015. 

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. 

In August 2013, the Board resolved that the employee incentive scheme would be suspended for an indefinite 
period. 

Executive Management  

For 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.  

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements              

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 

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 2015 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 30 September 2015. 

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 $1.39m (2014:$20.78m) primarily as a result of exploration 
and project expenditure of $0.58m, non-cash depreciation and amortisation charges of $1.29m together with 
continued but decreased operating losses after corporate overheads; and 
As at balance date, the Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $5.7m. The deficit in net current 
assets includes a $0.6m overdraft payable to KCB Bank of Tanzania (“KCB”) and $1.6m payable to the KCB under 
loan facilities which expire in November 2017 although these facilities can be called at any time.   

 

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

 

 
 

 

 

 

Considered the funding requirements of the business given the current operating and cash flow forecasts of the 
Group. The market conditions for coal supply are very competitive and create pressure on pricing but coal sales 
are still expected to increase as the Group continues to respond to growing demand in the East African cement 
and industrial markets segment. As Tancoal continues to implement productivity improvements and further 
initiatives to expand equipment capacity to produce more coal, the working capital position of the Company is 
expected to improve in the longer term. 
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 2015, 
IEC supplied 85% of its production to Tanzania and 15% to Kenya and Malawi. Approximately 65% was supplied 
to the cement industry, 10% to textile manufacturers, 13% to paper and ceramics industries and the remainder 
to processing plants. 
Acknowledged the interest received in the 120MW “Pamodzi” coal fired power station project in Malawi and the 
potential for the power station to become a future customer. 
Recognised that the interest bearing liabilities relating to the loans from the KCB 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.  

After  considering  the  above  factors,  the  Directors  have  concluded  that  the  use  of  the  going  concern  assumption  is 
appropriate. However if improved coal sales, cost saving initiatives or working capital improvements are not achieved 
or  if  the  KCB  Bank  of  Tanzania  demands  repayment  of  their  combined  $2.2  million  debt  facility,  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 in the Group’s ability to access further working capital through debt, equity or 
asset sales if required, there remains material uncertainty as to whether the Group will continue as a going concern.  

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

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 

1.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) 

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 30. 

b.ii New Accounting Standards 

The  Group  applied  the  following  standards  and  amendments,  including  any  consequential  amendments  to  other 
standards for the first time for the annual reporting period commencing 1 July 2014. 

 

 

 

 

AASB 2013-2 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities 
AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets 
AASB 2014-1 Part A: Annual improvements 2010-2012 and 2011-2013 cycles 
ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations 

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

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

A number of new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 
2015 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group.  

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2015 
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,  published  in  July  2014,  replaces  the  existing  guidance  in  AASB  139  Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and 
Measurement.  AASB  9  includes  revised  guidance  on  the  classification  and  measurement  of  financial  instruments, 
including a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and the new general hedge 
accounting  requirements.  It  also  carries  forward  the  guidance  on  recognition  and  derecognition  of  financial 
instruments from AASB 139.  AASB 9 is effective  for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, 
with  early  adoption  permitted.  As  the  Group  does  not  have  hedging  arrangements,  this  will  not  have  a  significant 
impact to the Group or its results.   

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, AASB 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining 
whether,  how  much  and  when  revenue  is  recognised.  It  replaces  existing  revenue  recognition  guidance,  including 
AASB 118 Revenue and AASB 111 Construction Contracts. AASB 15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning 
on  or  after  1  January  2018,  with  early  adoption  permitted.  The  Group  does  not  consider  that  this  will  have  a 
significant impact to the Group or its results. 

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the entity 
in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

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

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. 

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.   

c.v  Equity accounted investments  

A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control whereby the Group has rights to the net assets 
of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities. The financial statements include 
the  Group’s  share  of  the  total  recognised  gains  and  losses  on  an  equity  accounted  basis  subsequent  to  initial 
recognition at cost, which includes transaction costs. 

When the Group’s share of losses  exceeds its interest in a joint venture, the Group’s carrying amount is reduced to 
$nil  and  recognition  of  further  losses  is  discontinued  except  to  the  extent  that  the  Group  has  incurred  legal  or 
constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of a joint venture. 

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s 
interest  in  the  joint  ventures.  Unrealised  losses  are  also  eliminated  unless  the  transaction  provides  evidence  of  an 
impairment  of  the  asset  transferred.  Accounting  policies  of  joint  ventures  have  been  changed  where  necessary  to 
ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. 

Associates  are  all  entities  over  which  the  group  has  significant  influence  but  not  control  or  joint  control,  generally 
accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted 
for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 

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

D. 

Income tax 

Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax and is recognised in the statement of profit or loss or the statement 
of comprehensive income according to the accounting treatment of the related transaction. 

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to 
tax in respect of previous years.  

Deferred tax expense represents the tax expense in respect of the future tax consequences of recovering or settling 
the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  or  liability.  Both  are  calculated  using  tax  rates  for  each  jurisdiction,  enacted  or 
substantially enacted at the reporting date, and for deferred tax those that are expected to apply when the asset is 
realised or the liability is settled. 

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for: 

 

 
 

arising on the initial recognition or assets or liabilities, other than on a business combination, that affect neither 
accounting or taxable profit;  
arising from the recognition of goodwill; and  
relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

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: 

Class of fixed asset 

Mining 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  

Page 37 

 
 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements              

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 

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

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. 

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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 

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

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  balance  date  and  the  costs  are  recognised  based  on  a  consideration  of  the  period  which  the  rehabilitation  is 
expected to occur. 

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 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  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. 

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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 

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

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 
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  

Page 40 

 
 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements              

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 

1. 
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. 

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

R.  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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 

1. 

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 

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. 

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.

10. 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”),  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 lent A$0.7m 
to AAA Tanzania to be paid in three cash instalments, A$0.4m on completion, A$0.15m on or before 30 November 
2014 and A$0.15m on or before 31 March 2015 for working capital.    

IEC and GPOT each provided an additional A$0.125m 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 Group recognised a loss of $0.142m on the disposal.

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.  

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 20 August 2015, the Company advised the market that its Uaroo tenements in Australia lapsed on 2 July 2015. An 
impairment charge has been recognised for the full carrying value of the licence.

On  1 December 2014 Tancoal re-financed its debt  with KCB Bank  Tanzania Limited (KCB). The loan facility does not 
have any covenants but is repayable on demand and is secured against plant and equipment. Interest is charged on 
the  facility  at  a  rate  of  8%  per  annum.  The  facility  is  repaid  over  a  three  year  term  and  principal  and  interest 
repayments are made monthly.  Full repayment is expected in November 2017. 

Bank overdraft facility 

On 28 July 2015, KCB approved an increase in the  working capital facility from US$0.5m to US$1.0m 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.

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.

The Group has an obligation under the JV agreement with AAA Drilling to commit $0.2m per year by the provision of 
drilling work or by contribution. 

23. 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 $13.4m 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 matter has not been resolved at the date of this report. 

The Directors are not aware of any further contingent liabilities or contingent assets at 30 June 2015. 

24. 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, which were nil in FY 2015. 

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.

No shares or options were granted by the Company during the 2015 or 2014 years. 

26(b) Performance rights 

No Performance rights were issued in the 2015 year. 
Performance Rights for the 2014, 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  of  the  market  based  performance  incentives  was  deemed  to  be  17 
cents per performance right share. This will be expensed over the vesting period of three years and resulted in 
$.206m being expensed in FY 2015. 
Vesting periods: 
Performance rights issued in FY 2012 vested over the period 12 August 2011 to 29 August 2014. 
Performance rights issued in FY 2013 vest over the period 31 October 2012 to 31 August 2015. 
Performance rights issued in FY 2014 vested over the period 22 January 2014 to 31 January 2015. 

27. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

On 28 July 2015 Tancoal increased its working capital facility with KCB Bank Tanzania Limited from US$0.5m to 
US$1.0m. 
On 20 August  2015, the Company advised  the market  that its Uaroo tenements in  Australia  lapsed on 2 July 
2015. 
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.

29. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT’D) 

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, WHT  and  fuel relief  receivables) 
due from the Australian and Tanzanian taxation offices, 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. 

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

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.

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.

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

Estimation of fair values 

(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  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  KCB  Bank 
Tanzania Limited. 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 Kwacha  at 30 June 
2015  would  have  decreased  the  net  liabilities  of  the  Tanzanian  and  Malawian  subsidiaries  by  A$3.5m  (2014: 
$3.0m). A 10% weakening of the Australian dollar against the Tanzanian Shilling  and Malawian Kwacha  at 30 
June  2015  would  have  increased  the  net  liabilities  of  the  Tanzanian  and  Malawian  subsidiaries  by  A$2.9m 
(2014: $3.3m). 

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  2015  would  have 
decreased net interest bearing liabilities of the KCB loan and hire purchases by A$0.4m (2014: $0.4m). A 10% 
weakening of the Australian dollar against the United States dollar at 30 June 2015 would have increased net 
interest bearing liabilities of the KCB loan and hire purchases by A$0.3m (2014: $0.4m).

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.
