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 2019. 

Intra Energy Corporation (“IEC”) is the dominant coal supplier to industrial energy users in the Eastern African 
region through its 70% ownership of Tancoal Energy Limited (“Tancoal”) which operates the Ngaka coal mine in 
south west Tanzania which is also 30% owned by the National Development Corporation of Tanzania (NDC), the 
mine is the largest operational coal mine in Tanzania and East Africa, and is manned exclusively by Tanzanians. 

IEC recorded a profit after tax of A$4,535,000 (2018: loss of A$1,921,000). 

Tancoal’s 2019 production was 748,874 (2018: 579,108) tonnes and sales were 788,702 (2018: 540,937) tonnes, 
approximately 46% more than sales in the previous year.  Sales revenue for 2019 was A$52.277 million (2018: 
A$33.079 million). Sales were mainly to customers in Tanzania (67%), with the remainder to customers in Kenya 
(15%) and Rwanda and Uganda (18%).  56% of sales were made to the cement industry, 32% to the ceramic 
industry and 12% to textile manufacturers and other industries. 

As in 2018, the increase in sales during 2019 was mainly due to the further increase in export sales to Kenya, 
Rwanda and Uganda and growth in the ceramics industry.  As announced on 3 September 2019, the Ministry of 
Minerals has formally demanded the implementation of the payment of royalty on freight to customers plants 
both  domestic  and  internationally.    The  increased  cost  is  being  passed  on  to  customers  and  is  expected  to 
negatively impact the demand from export customers as the coal will no longer be competitive with Richards 
Bay, South Africa like most other countries exporting coal does not charge a royalty on the gross invoice value of 
transport to customers plants.  

IEC purchased the 50% of the drilling operations held by the joint venture partner at the end of May 2019.  AAA 
Drilling is now owned 100% by IEC. 

IEC’s wholly owned subsidiary, AAA Drilling Limited, a Mauritian incorporated company, has invested in a newly 
discovered gold property near Pemba in Mozambique.  The initial investment will be used to fund survey and 
trenching work on the gold concession.  If initial work demonstrates the potential investors will have an option 
to fund a drilling program for equity to target early production.  This is a fast track project not dependent on 
JORC and is designed to produce early cash flow for the investors. 

The closed Malawi operations continued to be held for sale, there have been no serious buyers at this stage.  The 
coal-fired power station project in Malawi is still on hold until a suitable power station developer is found.   

Operating  cash  flow  improved  during  the  year  but  then  tightened  after  the  settlement  with  the  contractor 
Caspian and the payment to the tax office to object to an assessment for the years from the start of the mine in  
to 2015, the cashflow is expected to improve after the payment plan with Caspian is completed in December 
2019.  

There  has  been  no  response  from  the  Tanzanian  Electricity  Company  "TANESCO"  to  the  proposed  270MW 
"Ngaka" minemouth coal-fired power station project.  IEC is continuing to promote partnership arrangements 
with other parties but without success as yet. 

IEC continued to maintain its active presence in community development through the Government approved 
Local  Content  Plan  and  Tancoal’s  partnership  with  the  local  Women's  Group  and  various  other  projects  and 
support given to the local communities.  

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.  However, with new royalty on road transport, Tanzania is 
likely to lose its export revenue.  A substantial stockpile of coal has been stored to cater for any demand spikes.  
IEC is 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.

Chairman’s Report 

IEC has been a substantial contributor to sustainable development of the Tanzanian economy and the following 
chart shows.  The taxes, royalties and imposts paid in Tanzania for FY 2019 total A$9.3 million, which was 58% of 
Tancoal’s gross profit. 

The  conditions  being  imposed  on  Tancoal  have  dampened  a  hitherto  successful  year  and  management  is 
adjusting accordingly. 

Sincerely 

Graeme Robertson 
Chairman – Intra Energy Corporation Limited

Review of Operations 

MINING OPERATIONS 

IEC’s  100%  owned  subsidiary,  Intra  Energy  Tanzania  Limited  (“IETL”),  owns  a  70%  interest  in  Tancoal  Energy 
Limited (“Tancoal”), a joint venture with the National Development Corporation of Tanzania (“NDC”), which holds 
the remaining 30% interest. Tancoal was granted a Mining Licence (“ML”) by the Tanzanian Government on 18 
August  2011  and  commenced  mining  and  supply  of  coal  to  domestic  and  regional  industrial  customers  in 
Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, 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.

Tancoal’s sales have grown year on year from 246,197 tonnes in FY 2016 to 788,702 tonnes in FY 2019. Export 
sales contributed to the sales growth increasing from 27,662 tonnes in FY 2016 to 184,646 tonnes (23.2% of total 
sales) in FY 2019.  Domestic sales increased after the Tanzanian Government issued a Directive in August 2016 
banning the import of coal.  This directive increased sales to the domestic market customers that were previously 
importing coal from South Africa. 

Tancoal produces a high quality thermal coal with an energy of 6,000K~6,300Kcals/kg which consistently meets 
client specifications.  The increase in export sales has been a result of the availability of high quality coal and the 
purchase in FY 2018 of the crushing plant and matching screen plant that can produce the sized coal mostly 
required by export customers.

Tancoal has been producing and selling coal in Tanzania since 2011.  Coal from the mine is transported on a 52 
kilometre haul road to the Sales Point at Kitai where the coal undergoes final processing and is then sold and 
distributed from the stockpile. 

The haul road can only take trucks up to 20 tonnes so there would be a significant cost saving if the existing road 
could be upgraded or a new road built that could take the larger 30 tonne trucks the customers send to collect 
their coal.  Tancoal has investigated both options and the upgrade to the current road including village bypasses 

Page 6 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Review of Operations 

is the preferred option that will be constructed when funds allow or when Tanroads agree to upgrade the existing 
road.  Tancoal continues to lobby the government on this issue.  

From the stockpile at the Kitai Sales Point the coal is loaded on to customers trucks Free On Transport (FOT), 
which is where change of ownership takes place.  Royalties have always been paid at the Sales Point where the 
Government  calculates  the  royalty and issues an  invoice  for  payment.   The  Tanzania Mining  Commission  has 
demanded  that  Tancoal  charge  Royalty  on  the  Transportation  of  the  coal  to  the  customers  final  destination, 
wherever that may be, both domestically and internationally.  The Mining Commission has set a standard cost of 
transport to the customers plant at a rate per tonne per kilometre of $0.06 for domestic customers and $0.08 
for export customers.  It is understood that not all operating mines are not paying this levy which is being applied 
to  coal  in  the  same  format  as  gold.    The  Company  continues  to  discuss  this  matter  with  Government  and 
customers to find a solution. 

During the past year, Tancoal has purchased two new L566 Wheel loaders and three new Bell B50E ADT trucks 
to improve the efficiency of the mine and to increase capacity to more than 80,000 tonnes per month. 

At the end of April 2019, Tancoal settled the dispute with the Caspian contractor.  Under the settlement, Caspian 
dropped the court case filed against Tancoal and receives 75% of the value of their invoices to be paid by Tancoal 
in monthly instalments till 31 December 2019, and a reduction in the length of the contract by one year.   

AAA DRILLING 

IEC has purchased 50% of the shares in AAA Drilling Limited (Mauritius) (“AAA”) for US$75,000, this makes AAA 
Drilling Limited (Tanzania) a wholly-owned subsidiary of IEC with a Hanjin Drilling rig that is ideal for multiple 
drilling purposes in Coal Bed Methane, Geothermal, Coal and Minerals exploration.   

AAA  has  invested  in  an  exciting  gold  development  in  Mozambique,  which,  if  successful  will  provide  IEC 
shareholders with a more diversified portfolio in a business-friendly environment. 

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. 

The Company continues working to progress a sale of the Malawi assets.  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.  In-pit toilets were also provided in the year as well as additional 
lighting for night shifts.  The addition of Speed Detector (Gun) has also provided Tancoal with better control of 
the haulage between the mine site and Sales Point reducing roll-overs and other speed related accidents.    

At the mine site, we are currently building settling ponds around the mining areas to capture water that needs 
treatment before being released into the rivers.  We have liners on the way to complete the program and will 
continue at our sales point with fresh liners as well.   

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.

Review of Operations 

PROJECT NGAKA (TANZANIA) – 270 MW  

In  November  2015  IEC  entered  into  a  Memorandum  of  Understanding  (MOU)  with  SINOHYDRO  Corporation 
Limited  (a  subsidiary  of  Power  China)  to  jointly  develop  the  feasibility  for  the  270MW  Ngaka  coal-fired 
minemouth power station project in  the Tancoal mine area.  The Feasibility Study was delivered to the Tanzanian 
Government in October 2016.  No action has resulted and the MOU lapsed in December 2018.  IEC continues 
promoting partnership arrangements with other parties. 

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 
assets. 

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.   

Due to uncertainty of the Mining Industry in Tanzania at the current time, Intra Energy Tanzania has halted all 
exploration projects until further notice.   

IEC’s total resources no longer include the resource for Malawi.

CORPORATE 

Operating  cash  flow  improved  in  FY  2019  but  it  has  been  restricted  sine  the  settlement  with  the  Caspian 
contractor at the end of April 2019 but it is expected to improve after the final payment is made in December 
2019.  Tancoal’s banking facilities with KCB Bank of Tanzania were extended to April 2020.   

Alan Fraser joined the Board on 24 August 2018 replacing David Nolan who retired on the same day.  

Marc Schwartz joined the Board on 31 July 2019. 

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. 

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. 

The Tanzania government implemented new rules in FY 2019 requiring a Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) 
plan to be submiteed and approved for each year.  Tancoal’s CSR plan for 2019 was approved by the Government 
and a new plan for FY 2020 is being submitted for approval. 

The Mbalawala Women’s Organisation (“MWO”) in Tanzania that has been supported by the company for many 
years continues to go from strength to strength as their operations expand with the growth of the mine.   

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  of 
Tancoal and its contractors and is making coal briquettes certified by the Tanzanian Bureau of Standards.  These 
coal briquettes are an alternative to charcoal.  The Group was supported and funded from 2011 by the company 
and has been able to expand its operation with the growth of the mine, during 2019 it became self-funded.  IEC 
congratulates MWO on its achievement and confirms its commitment to support the Group as needed into the 
future. 

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. 

Tancoal has submitted the Mine Closure Plan to the Ministry of Minerals. The Minister appointed the National 
Mine Closure Committee which visited the mine site and conduct the mine closure meeting with Tancoal and 
they gave some recommendations to work on the plan document before the approval. 

Storm  water  trenches  have  been  continually  upgraded  for  the  rainy  season  in  accordance  with  the  mine 
development plan, Tancoal is continuing construction of a huge pond with liner that can hold acid water from 
south pit in order to comply with legal requirement. The monitoring of acid water and suppression of mine dust 
continues. Blasting is 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).

SIGNIFICANT EVENT AFTER THE BALANCE DATE 

On 31 July 2019, Mr Marc Schwartz was appointed as a Non-Executive Director. 

On  14  August  2019,  IEC’s  wholly  owned  subsidiary,  AAA Drilling  Limited,  a  Mauritian  incorporated  company, 
invested in a potentially exceptional newly discovered gold property in Mozambique. 

On  3  September  2019,  IEC  advised  that  the  Mining  Commission  in  Tanzania  has  demanded  that  royalty  on 
transport be implemented by 15 September 2019.  A sixty day extension was later granted and discussions are 
continuing with the Ministry. 

On 16 September 2019, the Ministry of Minerals, Mining Commission send Tancoal a note of demand for US$10.4 
million (US$6.939 royalty and inspection fee and US$3.470 penalty) for a royalty that it has deemed payable on 
the  transport  portion  of  sales  to  customers  to  their  final  domestic  and  international  destinations  for  sales 
between August 2011 and June 2019.  The company does not charge customers for transport and is working with 
the Ministry to resolve the matter, the issue was still pending at 30 June 2019. 

On 24 September 2019, the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) advised that a fuel exemption paid to Tancoal in 
2015 and 2016 was contrary to the purpose of the Performance Contract under which it was paid and Tancoal 
must refund the amount of TZS 1,020,838,410 (A$634,000).  Tancoal does not agree with the assessment and 
will begin discussions with the TRA. 

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

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

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 $122,075 
(2018:  $73,358)  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

reasonable basis for such allocation exists.

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 2019. 

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 2019, 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 Non-Executive Directors, 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.  

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.  

Executive Directors’ and Senior Management 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. 

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 

Page 15 

 
 
 
 
 
Remuneration Report 

•  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.

owing to current and past Directors of the Company.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES  

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

• 

• 

all non-audit services are reviewed and approved by the Board prior to commencement to ensure they 
do not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and 
the nature of the services provided do not compromise the general principles relating to auditor 
independence as set out in the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and APES110 Code of 
Ethics for Professional Accountants. 

There were no fees for non-audit services paid to an affiliated entity of the external auditors during the year 
ended 30 June 2019. 

LEAD AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION 

The lead auditor’s independence declaration is set out on page 27 and forms part of the Directors’ Report for the 
financial year ended 30 June 2019.

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  2019,  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 other explanatory information, 
and the directors’ declaration. 

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Intra Energy Corporation Limited 
and its controlled entities is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: 

(a) 

(b) 

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and 
of its performance for the year ended on that date; and 
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 
2001. 

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

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporation Act 2001 has 
been given to the directors of the company 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’s 
current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $12,219,000. As stated in Note 1(a), this 
event  or  condition,  notwithstanding  an  improvement  in  the  Group’s  profitability  and  an 
improvement in net asset position from net liabilities of $3,870,000 (2018) to net assets of 
$1,050,000,  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  2019.  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.

Rehabilitation Provision  
Refer to Note 17 Provisions and Note 1(y) Critical accounting judgments and key sources

The  group  had  a  mine  restoration  provision 
of  $803,000  as  at  30  June  2019  relating  to 
its mine sites.  

The  extent  of  work  required,  and

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF 
INTRA ENERGY CORPORATION LIMITED

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 2019 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.

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

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

accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 

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

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

-  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  15  to  21  of  the  directors’ 
report for the year ended 30 June 2019.  

In our opinion, the remuneration report of  Intra Energy Corporation Limited, for the year 
ended 30 June 2019, complies with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

Notes to the Financial Statements              

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

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 30  September 2019. 

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  profit  after  tax  for  the  year  of  $4.535m  (2018:  loss  $1.921m),  including  losses  and 
impairments from discontinued operations of $0.19m (2018: $0.19m), non-cash depreciation and amortisation 
charges of $1.0m (2018: $0.855m); and 
As at balance date, the Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $12.219m (2018: $15.307m). The 
deficit in net current assets included $0.967m (2018: $2.268m) overdraft payable to KCB Bank of Tanzania (“KCB”) 
and  $1.821m  (2018:  $1.086m)  payable  to  KCB  Bank  under  loan  facilities  which  expire  in  September  2020.  
Equipment  finance  of  $0.376  (2018:  Nil)  for  the  purchase  of  two  wheel  loaders  over  twelve  months  was  also 
included in current liabilities. 

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

KCB has continued to show support for Tancoal.  
Sales increased by 58% in FY 2019 following on from the 46% increase recorded in FY 2018 in response to the 
continued improved market conditions for coal supply demand in the East African cement and industrial markets 
segment. Tancoal continues to implement productivity improvements replacing the Caspian contractor with new 
and more efficient equipment, 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. 
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 $2.788m debt facility ($3.354m at 30 June 2018), 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 2019 

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 
2019 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 2019 
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 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 not have material impact to the Group's financial statements as the Group’s 
non-cancellable operating lease commitments at 30 June 2019 are $127,000. 

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. 

b.iii New and Amended Accounting Policies Adopted by the Group 

Initial application of AASB 9: Financial Instruments 
AASB  9  replaces  the  "incurred  loss"  impairment  model  in  AASB  139  Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and 
Measurement with a forward-looking expected credit loss (ECL) model. It is no longer necessary for a loss event to occur 
before an impairment loss is recognised under the new model. Under the ECL model, the Group assesses on a forward-
looking basis the expected credit loss associated with its financial assets. The impairment methodology applied depends 
on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. The new impairment model applies to financial assets at 
amortised cost and contract assets under AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The application of the new 
standard results in a change in accounting policy. 

The Group applies the simplified approach as permitted by AASB 9, which requires the recognition of lifetime expected 
losses for accounts receivable and contract assets from initial recognition of such assets. At every reporting date, the 
Group reviews and adjusts its historically observed default rates based on current conditions and changes in the future 
forecasts. As regards to other receivables, the Group applies the general approach as permitted by AASB 9, which  

Page 36 

 
 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements              

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

1.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) 

requires  impairment  to  be  measured  using  the  12-month  expected  credit  loss  method  unless  the  credit  risk  on  a 
financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime expected credit loss is 
adopted. 

The adoption of AASB 9 has had no material impact on the results and financial position of the Group for the current 
and prior years. 

The measurement categories for all financial liabilities remain the same, the carrying amount for all financial liabilities 
at 1 July 2018 have not been impacted by the initial application of AASB 9. 

The Group did not designate or re-designate any financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or loss 
at 1 July 2018. 

Initial application of AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers 
AASB 15 provides a single comprehensive model for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an 
entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that 
reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. 

The Group has selected to use modified retrospective approach in adopting AASB 15 which recognises the cumulative 
effect  of  initial  application  through  opening  retained  earnings  as  at  1  July  2018.  No  adjustment  was  applied  to  the 
opening retained earnings as the cumulative effect is not material. 

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.i 

  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.  
Page 37 

 
 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements              

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

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

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.   

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.

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

E.  Property, Plant and Equipment 

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

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

e.i  Depreciation  

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

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

Class of fixed asset 

Mining Plant and Equipment 

Motor Vehicles 

Office Equipment 

Computer Equipment and Software 

Leasehold Improvements 

Useful life 

5 to 15 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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

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

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

I.  Development expenditure 

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

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

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

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

J.  Rehabilitation expenditure 

The  mining,  extraction  and  processing  activities  of  the  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.

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

L.  Financial Instruments 

l.i Recognition 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions 
to the instrument. For financial assets, this is the date that the Group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of 
the asset. 
Financial instruments (except for trade receivables) are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except 
where the instrument is classified "at fair value through profit or loss", in which case transaction costs are expensed to 
profit or loss immediately.  
Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price if the trade receivables do not contain a significant 
financing component or if the practical expedient was applied as specified in AASB 15.63. 
l.ii Financial liabilities 
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 
The  effective  interest  method  is  a  method  of  calculating  the  amortised  cost  of  a  debt  instrument  and  of  allocating 
interest expense in profit or loss over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return of the 
financial  asset  or  liability.  That  is,  it  is  the  rate  that  exactly  discounts  the  estimated  future  cash  flows  through  the 
expected life of the instrument to the net carrying amount at initial recognition. 
A financial liability cannot be reclassified. 
l.iii Financial assets 
Financial assets are subsequently measured at: 
• 
• 
• 

amortised cost; 
fair value through other comprehensive income; or 
fair value through profit or loss. 

Measurement is on the basis of two primary criteria: 
• 
• 

the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset; and 
the business model for managing the financial assets. 

A financial asset that meets the following conditions is subsequently measured at amortised cost: 
• 
• 

the financial asset is managed solely to collect contractual cash flows; and 
the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and 
interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified dates. 

A  financial  asset  that  meets  the  following  conditions  is  subsequently  measured  at  fair  value  through  other 
comprehensive income: 
• 

the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and 
interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified dates; 
the  business  model  for  managing  the  financial  assets comprises  both  contractual  cash  flows  collection  and  the 
selling of the financial asset. 

• 

By default, all other financial assets that do not meet the measurement conditions of amortised cost and fair value 
through other comprehensive income are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. 
The initial designation of the financial instruments to measure at fair value through profit or loss is a one-time option 
on initial classification and is irrevocable until the financial asset is derecognised. 
l.iv Derecognition 
Derecognition refers to the removal of a previously recognised financial asset or financial liability from the statement 
of financial position. 
A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (ie when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or 
expires). An exchange of an existing financial liability for a new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial 
modification to the terms of a financial liability is treated as an extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition 
of a new financial liability. 
The  difference  between  the  carrying  amount  of  the  financial  liability  derecognised  and  the  consideration  paid  and 
payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. 

Page 41 

 
 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements              

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

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

A financial asset is derecognised when the holder's contractual rights to its cash flows expires, or the asset is transferred 
in such a way that all the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred. 
All of the following criteria need to be satisfied for derecognition of financial asset: 
• 
the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired or been transferred; 
• 
all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset have been substantially transferred; and 
• 
the Group no longer controls the asset. 

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset's carrying amount 
and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss. 
l.vii Impairment 
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortised 
cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. 
Loss allowance is not recognised for: 
• 
• 

financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss; or 
equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. 

Expected  credit  losses  are  the  probability-weighted  estimate  of  credit  losses  over  the  expected  life  of  a  financial 
instrument. A credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due, and all cash flows expected 
to be received, all discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial instrument. 
The Group uses the following approaches to impairment, as applicable under AASB 9: Financial Instruments: 
• 
• 

the general approach 
the simplified approach 

General approach 
Under the general approach, at each reporting period, the Group assesses whether the financial instruments are credit-
impaired, and if: 
• 

the credit risk of the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures 
the loss allowance of the financial instruments at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses; or 
there is no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that 
financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. 

• 

Simplified approach 
The  simplified  approach  does  not  require  tracking  of  changes  in  credit  risk  at  every  reporting  period,  but  instead 
requires the recognition of lifetime expected credit loss at all times. This approach is applicable to trade receivables 
which do not contain a significant financing component. 
In  measuring  the  expected  credit  loss,  a  provision  matrix  for  trade  receivables  was  used  taking  into  consideration 
various data to get to an expected credit loss (ie diversity of customer base, appropriate groupings of historical loss 
experience, etc). 
Recognition of expected credit losses in financial statements 
At each reporting date, the Group recognises the movement in the loss allowance as an impairment gain or loss in the 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 
The carrying amount of financial assets measured at amortised cost includes the loss allowance relating to that asset. 
For financial assets that are unrecognised (eg loan commitments yet to be drawn, financial guarantees), a provision for 
loss allowance is created in the statement of financial position to recognise the loss allowance.

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

M.  Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances 

m.i.  Functional and Presentation Currency 

The  functional  currency  of  each  of  the  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. 

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

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

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

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 

The  Group  produces  and  sells  a  range  of  thermal  coal  products.  Revenue  from  the  sale  of  coal  is  recognised  when 
control of the product has transferred to the customer. Control of the product is considered transferred to the customer 
at the time of delivery, usually on Free on Board ("FOB") basis or a Cost and Freight ("CFR") basis. For CFR contracts the 
performance obligation relating to freight services is accounted for as a separate performance obligation.  

A receivable is recognised when control of the products is delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is 
unconditional and when control of the product is transferred to the customer. From time to time, the Group receives 
prepayment  before  control  of  the  product  has  transferred  to  the  customer.  Such  prepayments  are  recognised  as 
contract liabilities. 

Some of the Group's coal sales contracts are long-term supply agreement which stipulate the nominal annual quantity 
and price negotiation mechanism. For those contracts, the actual quantity and transaction price applicable for future 
shipments are only negotiated or determined prior to the beginning of, or a date which is after, each contract year or 
delivery period. The transaction price for a future shipment is based on, or derived from, a market price prevailing at 
the time of the future shipment. As the future market price for coal is highly susceptible to factors outside the Group's 
influence, the transaction price for a shipment is not readily determinable until or nearing the time of the shipment. As 
a result, the Group has concluded that a contract with the customer does not exist for those shipments for which the 
actual delivery quantity and transaction price have not yet been negotiated or determined. 

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements              

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 

1. 
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. 

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements              

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

1.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 
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. 
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. The sale did not proceed and 
the Malawi Group remains presented as a disposal group held for sale on the basis that the Directors are committed to 
recover these assets principally through sale.  The carrying value of the assets had 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 2019, the disposal group was stated at lower of carrying value and fair value and comprised the following 
assets and liabilities: 

Assets and Liabilities held for sale  

Current Assets 

Property, plant and equipment 

Mine development and exploration expenditure 

Inventories

^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 $97,000 for the year ended 30 June 
2019, and an additional provision of impairment amounting to $6,000. 

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.  On 28 May 2019, IEC acquired 
GPOT’s 50% of the joint venture for a cash consideration of US$75,000 (A$110,000), excluding of cash acquired A$9,000, 
thereby obtaining control of AAA Drilling Limited.  The Group recorded goodwill of $73,000 on the acquisition and that 
was written off to the profit and loss during the year.

In 2018, AAA Drilling sold two drills 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 Drilling 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 assumptions. 

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$0.72 

• 
• 
•  Discount rate of 20% 
•  Revenue and cost growth rate of 5% 
•  Coal reserves and resources 

Based on the above assumptions at 30 June 2019 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.

16(d) Convertible Note 
On 2 May 2016, IEC raised A$125,000 under loan and convertible note agreements with three parties, two of whom are 
related to directors of the company, Mr Robertson and Mr Mason.  The notes were converted to shares on the 11 and 
12 April 2017. Interest of A$28,500 was paid during FY 2019. 

16(e) Hire purchase 
On 28 August 2013, IEC’s subsidiary Malcoal Mining Limited entered into a hire purchase arrangement to finance mining 
equipment at the Malcoal Mine in Malawi. The agreement term was 5 years with an option to purchase the equipment 
at the conclusion of the term.  At 31 March 2016, the arrangement was terminated, the assets were returned to the 
supplier and the hire purchase arrangement ceased.  A contingent liability has been recognised for a legal claim that the

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  $334,000  (2018: 
$324,000) was outstanding at 30 June 2019.  

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 2019. 

Tancoal Energy Limited in Tanzania won a legal claim brought by NBC bank for recovery of money paid under a letter of 
credit arrangement in 2013 for a potential liability up to US$470,000 and also won a claim against NBC for the return of 
US$230,000 it withdrew without authority from Tancoal’s bank account, NBC has advised that it is lodging an appeal.  

The Ministry of Energy and Minerals has made a claim to Tancoal for US$10.4 million (US$6.939 royalty and inspection 
fee and US$3.470 penalty) for a royalty that it has deemed payable on the transport portion of sales to customers to 
their final domestic and international destinations for sales between September 2011 and June 2019, this royalty on 
transport had never invoiced until 2019.  The company does not charge customers for transport and is working with the 
Ministry to resolve the matter, the issue was still pending at 30 June 2019. 

The Tanzanian Revenue Authority (TRA) issued Tancoal a VAT assessment for the years 2011 to 2015 for TZS 6 billion 
(A$3.7 million), the amount of TZS 3.9 billion (A$2.4 million) has been provided for in the FY 2019 accounts.  Tancoal 
has not provided the full amount as it has proof of payments that were not included in the TRA’s assessment.  Tancoal 
has lodged an objection to the assessment and paid the one third required for the objection to be administered. 

On 24 September 2019, the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) advised that a fuel exemption paid to Tancoal in 2015 
and 2016 was contrary to the purpose of the Performance Contract under which it was paid and Tancoal must refund 
the amount of TZS 1,020,838,410 (A$634,000).  Tancoal does not agree with the assessment and will begin discussions 
with the TRA. 

Other than the above, the Directors are not aware of any other contingent liabilities or contingent assets at 30 June 
2019. 

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements     

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

24. SEGMENT REPORTING (CONT) 

Basis of Accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments 

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

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

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

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

Notes to and forming part of the segment information 
The consolidation adjustments represent the elimination of inter-segment loan balances and transactions. 

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

30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT’D) 

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. 

Exposure to credit risk 

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

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

Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash on hand and demand deposits.  The Group limits its credit risk by 
holding its cash balance and demand deposits with reputable counterparties with acceptable credit ratings. 

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

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

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

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

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

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 
2019 would have increased the net liabilities of the Tanzanian and Malawian subsidiaries by A$0.15m (2018: 
decrease $0.67m). A 10% weakening of the Australian dollar against the Tanzanian Shilling and Malawian Kwacha 
at 30 June 2019 would have decreased the net liabilities of the Tanzanian and Malawian subsidiaries by A$0.18m 
(2018: increased $0.82m). 

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  2019  would  have 
decreased net interest bearing liabilities of the KCB loans and hire purchases by A$0.30m (2018: $0.14m). A 10% 
weakening of the Australian dollar against the United States dollar at 30 June 2019 would have increased net 
interest bearing liabilities of the KCB loans and hire purchases by A$0.30m (2018: $0.14m). 

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.
