Intra Energy remains the major producer and supplier of thermal coal in East Africa through its 70% ownership of Tancoal Energy Limited ("Tancoal") which operates the Ngaka coal mine in south west Tanzania. The full year production was 579,108 (2017: 441,815) tonnes and sales were 540,937 (2017: 422,569) tonnes, approximately 28% more than sales in the previous year. Sales revenue for 2018 was A$33.079 million (2017: A$22.706 million). Sales were to the domestic and regional market in Eastern Africa which is one of the highest growth regions internationally. Sales were mainly to customers in Tanzania (77%), with the remainder to customers in Kenya (14%) and Rwanda and Uganda (9%). 62% of sales were made to the cement industry, 22% to the ceramic and paper industries and 16% to textile manufacturers and other industries. The increase in sales during 2018 was mainly due to increased export sales to Kenya and Rwanda and the growth in the ceramics industry. Late in the year sales increased in the domestic market as infrastructure projects were started and the cement industry experienced demand for the export of cement within Africa. Since the end of the financial year sales have continued to grow. Higher prices for coal shipped from Richards Bay and easier access to Mtwara Port has Tancoal receiving more enquiries for export sales both within East Africa and to other markets. Potential export customers are waiting on the determination from the Ministry of Mines on the calculation of royalty on freight before moving forward with orders as a royalty on freight will kill exports and the coal will no longer be competitive with Richard Bay as South Africa like most other countries exporting coal does not charge a royalty on the gross invoice value of transport to customers plants. Subsequent to the end of the financial year Tancoal has received a Chamber Summons and a Petition for Administration Order that Tancoal received 7 September 2018 from a local contractor Caspian Limited, denying the arbitration procedures embodied in their contract with Tancoal. The Company is taking action to defend its position against this contractor which has not performed in accordance with expectations. The closed Malawi operations continued to be held for sale, there has been some interest but no serious buyers at this stage. The sale of assets in the drilling operations is progressing, two drills were sold during the year. Operating cash flow has continued to be tight but is improving with the increase in sales. Total trading losses for the year totalled A$1,921,000 (2017: A$4,422,000) for the Group which includes holding and some closure costs of Malawi (A$191,000) and the drilling operations (A$3,000). The coal-fired power station project in Malawi is still on hold until a suitable power station developer is found.. The 270MW "Ngaka" minemouth coal-fired power station project in Tanzania is a partnership with Sinohydro Corporation Limited (“Sinohydro”) from China, one of China's largest international power developers. The MOU with Sinohydro has been extended until October 2018 but no further progress was made during the year, discussions with Government are ongoing. Sinohydro has completed a Feasibility Study for the power station. Sinohydro will be responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction of the power station and IEC will be responsible for the North Ngaka Coal Mine which will supply coal at the rate of approximately 1,200,000 tonnes per year to the power station. The Ngaka Power Station will take approximately 36 months to complete after the signing of a PPA. IEC continued to maintain its active presence in community development through the Tancoal partnership with the local Women's Group which grows food products on reclaimed mining land and caters to Tancoal and other contractor’s workers at the mine site. The Women's Group have developed a briquette from coal fines and clay to replace charcoal in cooking fires and hence saving Tanzanian forests from the harmful effects of the charcoal industry, the briquettes are progressing through the requirements of the Tanzania Bureau of Standards. Tancoal’s motto has always been “Tanzanian Coal for Tanzanian Development” and is proud to be supporting the Government’s industrialisation agenda both through domestic supply and also the creation of export markets to benefit Tanzania with foreign sourced revenue. A substantial stockpile of coal has been stored to cater for any demand spikes. IEC and NDC are both pleased to see the development of the Tancoal Mine to be entirely managed by Tanzanians, one of very few mining operations in Tanzania to be run by Tanzanians for Tanzania. Tancoal has submitted its Local Content Plan to the Mining Commission for approval. Page 4 Review of Operations Sincerely Graeme Robertson Chairman – Intra Energy Corporation Limited Page 5 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. IEC’s flagship project, the Tancoal Mine, is a project of national significance, and remains the major operating coal mine in Tanzania. Overburden Stripped (BCM) Coal mined (tonnes) Coal Sold (tonnes) FY18 3,027,299 579,108 540,937 FY17 2,382,353 441,815 422,569 The Tanzanian Government issued a Directive in August 2016 to all Tanzanian coal suppliers and customers, whereby all imported coal from outside Tanzania would cease immediately. As a result of this Directive, Tancoal’s sales for the 2017 year increased by more than 70% on the 2016 year and continued to grow a further 28% in the 2018 year. SALES FISCAL YEAR 2018 60000 50000 40000 30000 20000 10000 0 Jul-17 Aug-17 Sep-17 Oct-17 Nov-17 Dec-17 Jan-18 Feb-18 Mar-18 Apr-18 May-18 Jun-18 Production capacity at the mine has fallen from 80,000 tonnes per month to approximately 60,000 tonnes per month due to the poor performance of a major contractor. The reduction in capacity has been partially offset by the improved efficiency at the mine. 60,000 tonnes per month is sufficient capacity to manage the current demand from the Tanzanian and export customers until negotiations for an exit of the current contractor and a replacement contractor can be put in place. In August 2018, the current contractor filed for an order to place Tancoal in administration under their control, however this is being vigorously defended. Tancoal produces a high quality thermal coal with an energy of 6,000K~6,300Kcals/kg which consistently meets client specifications. Product coal is sold and distributed from a stockpile at Kitai, approximately 52 kilometres from the mine site. It is trucked by Tancoal to this location along an existing public road. Significant road upgrades and village bypasses, and an alternative dedicated haul road, have been investigated by the Company, and the former option will be constructed when funds allow or when Tanroads agree to upgrade the existing road. Tancoal is currently lobbying the government on this issue. The Ministry of Mines and Minerals indicated by way of letter in August 2018 that it may declare that the cost of freight to customers factories and plants for both domestic and import sales be included in the definition of gross value for the calculation of royalty. Freight is organised by Tancoal’s customers and in most cases, it is much more expensive than the cost of the coal they purchase. Tancoal is currently in discussions with the Ministry. Page 6 Review of Operations 34,000 tonnes per month of sales are now under long term contracts with customers, who have secured competitive prices for the coal purchased through these long term contracts. During the year, Tancoal purchased a new crushing plant capable of producing 300 tonnes per hour and a matching screen plant for sized coal. This has significantly improved the operation and the new plant has been installed at the sales point at Kitai. Tancoal has also improved its drilling and blasting capabilities by building a new magazine for explosive storage during the year, also adding some Flexigel as a product used for blasting wet holes. This significantly improved fragmentation which has led to improved productivity. The fuel storage facility has been upgraded from 110,000 litre capacity to 165,000 litre capacity at the mine site as well as a 10,000 litre capacity tank at the sales point in Kitai. Tancoal has also revived an existing Liebherr 944 Excavator and a Liebherr 714 Dozer for the fleet in order to improve efficiencies and to increase capacity. During the past year, Tancoal has widened roads, improved drainage and rebuilt in pit bridges in order to better serve its customers during the rainy season. This year the rains were heavy, however Tancoal did not have any interruptions to sales due to rain. A new water pump capable of pumping 5,000 litres of water was also commissioned during this period. MALCOAL (MALAWI) Malcoal Mining Limited (“Malcoal”) is a joint venture between IEC (90%) and its local partner, Consolidated Mining Industries Limited (“CMI”, 10%). Malcoal was an important part of IEC’s Eastern African strategy to be the dominant coal supplier in the region however, Malcoal suffered from intense competition from cheap imported coal and the decision was made in 2016 to halt operations. There has been interest from potential purchasers in the Malawi assets and the Company continues working to progress a sale. In the meantime, the assets are being held for sale and have been fully impaired in the accounts. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT (“OHSE”) OHSE is an important priority for IEC. The mine operations are 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. Improvements to the storm water drainage systems at the Ngaka mine continued with the upgrading of the available trenches and ponds and the construction of new trenches and ponds to the new mine development areas. 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. IEC will be the exclusive coal supplier to the proposed power stations. PROJECT NGAKA (TANZANIA) – 270 MW In November 2015, IEC announced that it had executed a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with Sinohydro Corporation Limited (“Sinohydro”) to assess the potential joint development of its 270 MW Ngaka coal-fired power mine mouth project, located near the Tancoal Mine in Tanzania. The MOU sets out the intention of IEC and Sinohydro to complete a feasibility study and a financing proposal for the project, and to negotiate a Joint Venture Agreement for the development of the project. Sinohydro will be the major shareholder with IEC holding a minor share. This MOU was again renewed in April 2018 for another 6 month period as Tancoal and SinoHydro continue to discuss with the government to try and get this project moving. This follows a letter to Tancoal from the DPS of the Office of the Minister of Energy requesting that the power project be expedited. Tancoal is still pushing to get the Government to agree to negotiate, but talks have stalled for the time being. Project Ngaka will use high quality, low sulphur thermal coal from the Tancoal Mine located in south western Tanzania. It is proposed to site the generating facilities adjacent to Tancoal's northern coal deposit while the Page 7 Review of Operations southern coal deposit will continue to meet the growing industrial and cement requirements of Tanzania and its neighbours. Sinohydro is a driving force behind China’s industrial development. It has 130,000 employees and provides one- stop services for financing, engineering, purchasing, implementation and operation of projects for power, water conservation, transport infrastructure and civil works such as public and private buildings. IEC believes that Sinohydro will be an excellent strategic co-developer for Project Ngaka. PROJECT PAMODZI (MALAWI) – 120 MW Execution of the PPA term sheet for Project Pamodzi Power Station in Malawi was completed in April 2016 after long deliberation by the Government of Malawi. This term sheet will form part of the sale of the Malawian entities, with Tancoal securing an option to supply coal to the power station in Malawi, located across Lake Nyasa from Tancoal. As the sale of the Malawi assets has not settled, IEC may consider alternative options for the power project. Intra Energy is still working to push the Pamodzi Project along and have received new interest in the project and hope to have an agreement in the near future to either partner in the project, or to sale the rights of the project to another source. EXPLORATION Some low-level exploration was undertaken on the lithium and graphite tenements in Tanzania but expenditure remained controlled so as to preserve cash whilst still maintaining the Company’s portfolio of tenements in good standing. IEC’s total resources no longer include the resource for Malawi.

Page 8 Review of Operations CORPORATE Operating cash flow continued to be restricted but started to improve with the stronger sales in the later part of the year. Tancoal’s banking facilities with KCB Bank of Tanzania were extended to April 2019. The invoice discounting facility was closed and half of the US$1.8 million overdraft was converted to a term loan over three years at 8%. Troy Wilson joined the Board on 4 October 2017 replacing Michael Addison who retired on 28 September 2018. Alan Fraser joined the Board on 24 August 2018 replacing David Nolan who retired on the same day. 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. 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 Tanzania is 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. A village well project is progressing, the pump house and electricity connection are next to be completed and then it will be the installation of the pump and piping system before final commissioning of the project. 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. Significant progress had been made in having a coal briquette certified by the Tanzanian Bureau of Standards. These coal briquettes are an alternative to charcoal. Production of briquettes commenced in late June 2016 and production is slowly increasing. Charcoal production is one of the major contributors to deforestation in Tanzania. ENVIRONMENTAL The annual tree planting programme again saw Tancoal transplant a total of 10,000 tree seedlings of indigenous species. Trees were planted around the mine site and stockpile area at the mine, villages surrounding mine site, the haul road and stockpile area at the Kitai sales point. Page 9 Review of Operations The workshop drainage system has been upgraded so that it can collect all hydrocarbon contaminants precisely, and a big oil-water separator that can accommodate huge amount of effluent especially during the rainy season has been constructed. A waste oil storage cage with containment has been constructed that complies with hydrocarbon spillage control for the workshop. Storm water trenches have been continually upgraded for the rainy season in accordance with the mine development plan. The monitoring of acid water and suppression of mine dust continues. Blasting are controlled by monitoring sound level, vibration and dust emission during blasting to ensure they do not exceed required standard set by Tanzania Bureau of Standard (TBS).

Page 15 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 2018. 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 2018, the function of the Remuneration Committee (“the Committee”) was carried out by the Board. The function of the Board in fulfilling its corporate governance responsibilities with respect to remuneration is 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. In August 2013, the Board resolved that the employee incentive scheme would be suspended for an indefinite period. Page 16 Remuneration Report 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. At the 2017 Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 to allow the issue of a number of shares to the then Non-Executive Directors under the Intra-Energy Corporation Non-Executive Director Share Plan in lieu of 100% of their annual Directors remuneration. To date, no shares have been issued under the Plan. 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.

In our opinion: (a) the accompanying financial report of the Intra Energy Corporation Limited and its controlled entities is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: i. giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ii. (b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1(b). Basis of Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibility section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporation Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern We draw attention to Note 1(a) in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of $1,921,000 during the year ended 30 June 2018, and as of that date the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $15,307,000. As stated in Note 1(a), these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(a), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. INTRA ENERGY CORPORATION LIMITED ABN 65 124 408 751 AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF INTRA ENERGY CORPORATION LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the year ended 30 June 2018.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: - Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. - Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. - Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. INTRA ENERGY CORPORATION LIMITED ABN 65 124 408 751 AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF INTRA ENERGY CORPORATION LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES - Conclude on the appropriateness of the director’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. - Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. - Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the directors regarding, amongst other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on the Remuneration Report We have audited the remuneration report included in pages 16 to 25 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2018. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. INTRA ENERGY CORPORATION LIMITED ABN 65 124 408 751 AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF INTRA ENERGY CORPORATION LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES Opinion In our opinion, the remuneration report of Intra Energy Corporation Limited and its controlled entities for the year ended 30 June 2018 complies with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

Page 38 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Intra Energy Corporation Limited (“IEC” or “the Company”) is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The shares of Intra Energy Corporation Limited are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange. The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 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 authorised for issue on 26 September 2018. 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 $1.921m (2017: $4.422m), including losses and impairments from discontinued operations of $0.19m (2017: $0.22m), non-cash depreciation and amortisation charges of $0.855m (2017: $0.87m) together with operating losses due to difficult market conditions mainly in the first quarter of the year; and As at balance date, the Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $15.307m (2017: $11.873m). The deficit in net current assets included a $2.268m (2017: $2.363m) overdraft payable to KCB Bank of Tanzania (“KCB”) and $1.086m (2017: $0.481m) payable to KCB Bank under loan facilities which expire in April 2019 although these facilities can be called at any time. After balance date US$900,000, 50% of the overdraft was converted to a term loan . In assessing the appropriateness of using the going concern assumption, the Directors have: • • KCB has continued to show support for Tancoal. Sales increased by 46% in FY2018 responding to improved market conditions for coal supply growing demand in the East African cement and industrial markets segment. The ban on the importation of coal has resulted in increased sales orders and this trend is expected to continue with July and August 2018 both being record sales months for Tancoal. As Tancoal continues to implement productivity improvements, the working capital position of the Company is expected to improve in the longer term. Continued to implement a number of cost saving initiatives and enter into repayment arrangements with creditors 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 Tanzania. Eastern Africa is one of the fastest growing regions in the world with national growth rates between 5% and 8%. Continues to seek buyers for the sale of assets in the Malawi business that has a JORC compliant resource of 63 million tonnes and the AAA Drilling joint venture. Recognised that the interest-bearing liabilities relating to the loans from KCB are secured against the Group’s mining equipment. Noted JORC compliant resources of 357 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 KCB Bank of Tanzania demands repayment of their combined $3.354m debt facility ($4.018m at 30 June 2017), 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. Page 39 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) 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 (“IEC” or “the Company”) and controlled entities (“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 have not been presented within this financial report. Financial information for IEC Parent as an individual entity is included in Note 31 as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. b.ii 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 2018 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 2018 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 and associated amending standards, 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. AASB 16 Leases, AASB 16 replaces the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB 117: Leases and related Interpretations. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that eliminates the requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases. The transitional provisions of AASB 16 allow a lessee to either retrospectively apply the standard to comparatives in line with AASB 108 or recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application as an adjustment to opening equity on the date of initial application. Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 16 will impact the Group's financial statements, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact. 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. Page 40 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) C. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate all assets, liabilities and results of the parent (Intra Energy Corporation Limited) and all of the subsidiaries. c.i Business combinations Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. All transaction costs incurred in relation to business combinations, other than those associated with the issue of a financial instrument, are recognised as expenses in profit or loss when incurred. 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 Profit or Loss and Other 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 parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 20. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. c.ii 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.iii Non-controlling interests Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “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. Page 41 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) c.iv 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. 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. Page 42 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 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 5 to 15 years 4 to 10 years 4 to 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. Page 43 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 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 Group 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 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 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.iii Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities other than financial guarantees are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised. Page 44 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) l.iv Impairment of financial assets A financial asset (or a group of financial assets) is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events (a “loss event”) having occurred, which has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset(s). In the case of financial assets carried at amortised cost, loss events may include: indications that the debtors or a group of debtors are experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; indications that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; and changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. For financial assets carried at amortised cost (including loans and receivables), a separate allowance account is used to reduce the carrying amount of financial assets impaired by credit losses. After having taken all possible measures of recovery, if Directors establish that the carrying amount cannot be recovered by any means, at that point the written- off amounts are charged to the allowance account or the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduced directly if no impairment amount was previously recognised in the allowance account. When the terms of financial assets that would otherwise have been past due or impaired have been renegotiated, the Group recognises the impairment for such financial assets by taking into account the original terms as if the terms have not been renegotiated so that the loss events that have occurred are duly considered. M. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances m.i. Functional and Presentation Currency The functional currency of each of the Group’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 Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, except where deferred in Other Comprehensive Income as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in Other Comprehensive Income to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in other comprehensive income; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 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 Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the year in which the operation is disposed. N. Employee Benefits Provision is made for the Group’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. Page 45 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) n.i Short-term employee benefits Provision is made for the Group’s obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled. The Group’s obligations for short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and sick leave are recognised as part of current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position. The Group’s obligations for employees’ annual leave and long service leave entitlements are recognised as provisions in the statement of financial position. n.ii Share-based payments The Group 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 Group 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. Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting date. 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. Page 46 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 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. 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 Statement of Cash Flows 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 Group 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. 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. Page 47 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 2. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) W. Assets held for sale Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale and measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, where the carrying amount will be recovered principally through sale as opposed to continued use. No depreciation or amortisation is charged against assets classified as held for sale. Classification as “held for sale” occurs when: management has committed to a plan for immediate sale; the sale is expected to occur within one year from the date of classification; and active marketing of the asset has commenced. Such assets are classified as current assets. A discontinued operation is a component of an entity, being a cash-generating unit (or a group of cash generating units), that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and: represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with the view to resale. Impairment losses are recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of an asset (or disposal group) classified as held for sale to fair value less costs to sell. Any reversal of impairment recognised on classification as held for sale or prior to such classification is recognised as a gain in Consolidated Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which it occurs. X. Impairment of non-financial 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 Profit or Loss and Other 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. Y. Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty In the application of the Group’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. 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. Page 48 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) • Impairment of non-financial assets The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific to the Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions. In light of lengthy negotiations with the Malawi government and ongoing logistical issues with the operation of the mine, the Group recognised a full impairment on the carrying value of its Malawian subsidiaries. Z. Comparative figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

DISPOSAL GROUP HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On 1 March 2016 the Group advised that transaction documents had been exchanged for the sale of its Malawian subsidiaries and that further announcements would be made when the sale is finalised. Accordingly the Malawi Group is presented as a disposal group held for sale. The sale of the disposal group is expected to be completed in the next financial year. The carrying value of the assets has been fully impaired in light of lengthy negotiations with the Malawi government and ongoing logistical issues with the operation of the mine. As at 30 June 2017, the disposal group was stated at lower of carrying value and fair value and comprised the following assets and liabilities: Assets and Liabilities held for sale Current Assets Property, plant and equipment Mine development and exploration expenditure Inventories Trade and other receivables Less: Provision for impairment Assets held for sale Current Liabilities Trade and other payables Employee benefits Liabilities held for sale CONSOLIDATED 2018 $’000S 245 1,270 1 9 2017 $’000S 238 1,218 1 8 (1,525) (1,465) - 1,098 7 1,105 1,155 - 1,155 ^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. On 31 March 2016, the arrangement was terminated and the assets returned to the supplier. A contingent liability has been recognised for a legal claim that the supplier has brought to the company, see note 23. The Malawian subsidiaries incurred no revenue and recorded a loss after tax of $130,000 for the year ended 30 June 2018, and an additional provision of impairment amounting to $60,000. 11. EQUITY ACCOUNTED INVESTMENTS On 9 September 2014, the Group completed a joint venture arrangement with General Petroleum Oils and Tools Pty Limited (“GPOT”), whereby each party undertook a 50% economic interest in AAA Drilling Limited, an operating drilling company in Tanzania that was established to undertake drilling and logging for the IEC entities and third party customers in Eastern Africa. In 2016, the Group recognised a full impairment to the carrying value of the investment following a review of the market conditions that have effect to the AAA Drilling Joint Venture business and operations. Page 54 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 11. EQUITY ACCOUNTED INVESTMENTS (cont’d) Information on the interest in the AAA Drilling Joint Venture is as follows: Equity accounted investments Less: impairment of equity accounted investments Carrying amount CONSOLIDATED 2018 $’000S 28 (28) - 2017 $’000S 454 (454) - IEC’s share of loss after tax in its equity accounted investee before impairment was $430,000 loss and a reversal of the prior year impairment of $427,000 (2017: $94,000 loss).

IEC had impaired total assets of AAA drilling in a prior year so the loss on sale of assets and further impairment in the accounts of AAA resulted in a reversal of the previous impairment in IEC’s accounts.

The key assumptions in the calculations include: Long-term thermal coal prices of US$44 – US$48 per tonne Long-term exchange rate of US$1:00: AUD$0.75 • • • Discount rate of 20% • Revenue and cost growth rate of 5% • Coal reserves and resources Based on the above assumptions at 30 June 2018 the recoverable amount is determined to be above the carrying value of mining assets resulting in no further impairment. The most sensitive input in the value in use calculations is forecast revenue, which is primarily dependent on estimated future coal prices and the AUD/USD forecast exchange rate. If the long-term coal prices had been 10% lower than management’s estimates, the recoverable amount would still exceed the carrying value of mining assets. If the AUD/USD long-term exchange rate was $0.80, the recoverable amount would still exceed the carrying value of mining assets.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS The supplier of the hire purchase contracts in Malawi has brought a legal claim for penalties as part of the cancellation of the arrangement against the subsidiary company Malcoal Mining Limited. The company is defending the claim but the potential liability may be up to $500,000 in addition to costs accounted for in the accounts. The claim was still pending at 30 June 2018. Tancoal Energy Limited in Tanzania is defending a legal claim brought by NBC bank for recovery of money paid under a letter of credit arrangement in 2013. The company is defending the claim but the potential liability may be up to US$470,000. NBC without authority withdrew US$230,000 from a Tancoal bank account during the 2017 year to apply against the contingent liability, Tancoal has brought a claim against NBC for the money to be returned. The Ministry of Energy and Minerals has made a claim to Tancoal for US$1.13 million (including the US$160,000 declared as a contingent liability in FY 2017) for a royalty that it has deemed payable on the transport portion of sales to customers for sales between August 2011 and June 2014. The company does not charge customers for transport and is working with the Ministry to resolve the matter. On 7 September 2018, Tancoal received a Chamber Summons and a Petition for Administration Order from Caspian Limited, Tancoal’s largest creditor. Tancoal is in dispute with Caspian over their rates and poor quality of equipment. Tancoal has filed a counter claim and a court date has been advised for 4 October 2018. Other than the above, the Directors are not aware of any other contingent liabilities or contingent assets at 30 June 2018. 24. SEGMENT REPORTING The Group operates in two geographical segments being Australia and Africa. Segment information The Group 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 Group’s business is the exploration, evaluation, marketing, production and sale of coal in Africa. 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. Page 66 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 24. SEGMENT REPORTING (CONT) 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.

The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments: Credit Risk Liquidity Risk • • • Market risk i) Interest rate risk, ii) Foreign currency risk This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout this financial report. 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 Group, 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 Group’s activities. The Group, 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. 30(a) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investment securities. Page 70 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT’D) Exposure to credit risk The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was: Trade and Other Receivables Cash and cash equivalents Total Trade and other receivables 2018 $’000s 2,332 411 2,743 2017 $’000s 2,612 84 2,696 The Group’s receivables relate to GST and other taxation (including VAT) due from the Australian and Tanzanian taxation offices and trade receivables from coal sales. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash on hand and demand deposits. The Group limits its credit risk by holding its cash balance and demand deposits with reputable counterparties with acceptable credit ratings. 30(b) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’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 Group’s reputation. The Board monitors liquidity risk on a monthly basis. The Group’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. The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements: 30 June 2018 CARRYING AMOUNT $’000S CONTRACTUAL CASH FLOWS 6 MONTHS OR LESS 6 – 12 MONTHS 1 – 2 YEARS 2 – 5 YEARS MORE THAN 5 YEARS $’000S $’000S $’000S $’000S $’000S $’000S Non-derivative financial liabilities Bank overdraft 2,268 2,268 2,268 Trade and other payables 15,963 15,963 15,963 Interest bearing liabilities 1,539 1,539 388 Total 19,770 19,770 18,619 – – 299 299 – – 253 253 – – 599 599 – – – – Page 71 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 30.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT’D) 30(c) Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’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.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT’D) The Group’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. 30 June 2018 Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Interest bearing liabilities Total 30 June 2017 Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Interest bearing liabilities Total Foreign currency risk PROFIT OR LOSS EQUITY 10% INCREASE $’000S 10% DECREASE $’000S 10% INCREASE $’000S 10% DECREASE $’000S – (154) (154) – 154 154 – (154) (154) – 154 154 PROFIT OR LOSS EQUITY 10% INCREASE $’000S 10% DECREASE $’000S 10% INCREASE $’000S 10% DECREASE $’000S – (44) (44) – 54 54 – (44) (44) – 54 54 As a result of activities overseas, the Group’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position can be affected by movements in exchange rates. The Group also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from transactions dominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity. The Group currently does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage foreign currency risk. The Group’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 Group 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 Group 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 Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT’D) 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 Group. 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 2018 would have decreased the net liabilities of the Tanzanian and Malawian subsidiaries by A$0.67m (2017: $1.2m). A 10% weakening of the Australian dollar against the Tanzanian Shilling and Malawian Kwacha at 30 June 2018 would have increased the net liabilities of the Tanzanian and Malawian subsidiaries by A$0.82m (2017: $1.5m). 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 2018 would have decreased net interest bearing liabilities of the KCB loans and hire purchases by A$0.14m (2017: $0.3m). A 10% weakening of the Australian dollar against the United States dollar at 30 June 2018 would have increased net interest bearing liabilities of the KCB loans and hire purchases by A$0.14m (2017: $0.3m). 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. 30(d) Fair value versus carrying amounts The Group’s carrying mounts of fair value assets and liabilities equate to their corresponding fair values. 30(e) 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 Group’s approach to capital management during the year. Neither the Group nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
