Chairman’s Report 

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Intra Energy Corporation Limited ("IEC", "Intra Energy" or "the Company"), 
it is my pleasure to present this summary of operations for this Annual Financial Report for 2018. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

US$1.8 million overdraft facility had been reduced to US$0.9 million and the balance of US$0.9 million had been 
converted to a term loan at 8% over three years and the invoice discounting facility had been closed. The facilities

On 21 August 2018, Tancoal advised that it had received a letter of demand for US$1.13 million for underpaid 
royalty on the value of freight paid by its customers from August 2011 to June 2014. The claim continues to be 
discussed with the Ministry of Minerals in Tanzania. 

On  7  September  2018,  Tancoal  received  a  Chamber  Summons  and  a  Petition  for  Administration  Order  from

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS 

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

Also pursuant to the Deed, the Company must insure the Directors against liability and provide access to all board 
papers relevant to defending any claim brought against the Directors in their capacity as officers of the Company. 
Amounts disclosed for remuneration of directors and specified officers exclude insurance premiums of $73,358 
(2017:  $59,546)  paid  by  the  Company  in  respect  of  liability  for  any  current  and  former  Directors,  executive 
officers and secretaries of the Company and its controlled entities. This amount has not been allocated to the 
individuals covered by the insurance policy as, based on all available information, the Directors believe that no 
reasonable basis for such allocation exists. 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

monitors the business and affairs of IEC on behalf of the shareholders by whom it is elected and to whom it is 
accountable.  

The  Company  is  committed  to  ensuring  that  its  systems,  procedures  and  practices  reflect  a  high  standard  of

respect to protect security holders’ and other stakeholders’ interests at all times. 

During the year ended 30 June 2018, the Company’s corporate governance framework was consistent with the 
third  edition  of  the  Corporate  Governance  Principles  and  Recommendations  released  by  the  ASX  Corporate 
Governance Council.

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.

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.

is established on the Grant Date as all companies within the S&P/ASX300 Energy Index. 

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

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

Internal Measure 

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

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

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

The Board of Directors is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year is compatible with the 
general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors are satisfied

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

There were no fees for non-audit services paid to an affiliated entity of the external auditors during the year 
ended 30 June 2018.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF 
INTRA ENERGY CORPORATION LIMITED  
AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES 

Opinion 
We have audited the financial report of Intra Energy Corporation Limited and its controlled 
entities (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as 
at  30  June  2018,  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive 
income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement 
of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, 
including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration. 

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.

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.  These 
matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and 
in  forming  our  opinion  thereon,  and  we  do  not  provide  a  separate  opinion  on  these 
matters.

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon 
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises 
the  information  included in the Group’s annual report for the  year ended  30 June 2018, 
but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on 
the  financial  report  does  not  cover  the  other  information  and  accordingly  we  do  not 
express  any  form  of  assurance  conclusion  thereon.  In  connection  with  our  audit  of  the 
financial  report,  our  responsibility  is  to  read  the  other  information  and,  in  doing  so, 
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report 
or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, 
based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement 
of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in 
this regard. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 
The  directors  of  the  company  are  responsible  for  the  preparation  of  the  financial  report 
that  gives  a true and fair view  in accordance  with  Australian  Accounting Standards and 
the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  for  such  internal  control  as  the  directors  determine  is 
necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 
and  is  free  from  material  misstatement,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error.  In  preparing  the 
financial  report,  the  directors  are  responsible  for  assessing  the  ability  of  the  Group  to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern 
and  using  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  unless  the  directors  either  intend  to 
liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

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

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

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

-  Obtain  an  understanding  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  audit  in  order  to  design 
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of 
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. 

-  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of 

accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF

-  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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

10. 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

^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.

AAA Drilling sold two drills during the year with a loss on sale of $260,000 and the remaining drill and inventory was 
impaired a further $491,000 due to a lowering of realisable value.  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  recoverable  amounts  of  the  Group’s  mine  development  costs  and  property,  plant  and  equipment  have  been 
determined by a value-in-use calculations using a discounted cash flow model, based on a 12-month projection period 
approved by the Board and extrapolated for a further 4 years by using key assumption. 

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.

The  recoverability  of  the  carrying  amount  of  exploration  assets  is  dependent  on  the  successful  development  and 
commercial exploitation or sale of the respective mining permits.  

On 15 March 2017, the Company advised the market that a Tancoal tenement was directed by the government to be 
transferred  to  Dangote  Industries.  An  impairment  charge  of  $239,000  was  recognised  for  the  carrying  value  of  the 
licence in the prior financial year.

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.

In January 2014, a hire purchase contract with an option to purchase four trucks was entered into with Extran Limited, 
a related party of Graeme Robertson and David Mason.  The full amount under the contract of $324,000 was outstanding 
at 30 June 2018.  

23. 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.

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.

royalty on the value of freight paid by its customers from August 2011 to June 2014. The claim continues to be 
discussed with the Ministry of Energy and Minerals in Tanzania. 

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.

year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the 
opinion of the Directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of the Company, the results of 
those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company, in future financial years.

30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

Exposure to credit and interest rate risks arises in the normal course of the Group’s businesses. 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.

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 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.

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.

30. 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.
