KEY RISKS
The following table sets out a summary of the key risks associated with investing in MACA. This list of risks is not
exhaustive. Full details of the risks tabled below are set out in Section 12 of this Prospectus.
RISK AREA
RISKS
Reliance on the
mining industry
Reliance on
key personnel
A decrease in demand for mining services by the mining industry may adversely affect
MACA’s growth prospects, operating results and financial performance.
Loss of any of MACA’s key personnel could adversely affect MACA’s growth prospects,
operating results and financial performance.
Reliance on key
client relationships
Loss of one or more clients could adversely affect MACA’s growth prospects, operating
results and financial performance.
Ability to win new
projects
Failure by MACA to win new projects could adversely affect its growth prospects,
operating results and financial performance.
Forecast risk
Competition risk
Contractual risk
Forecasts for FY2011 are dependent upon many factors, some of which are outside the
control of MACA. The occurrence of any of these factors may impact MACA’s ability to
achieve its forecasts.
Aggressive competition by current or future competitors could result in price reductions,
reduced margins and loss of market share which may, in turn, adversely affect MACA’s
growth prospects, operating results and financial performance.
As at the date of this Prospectus, MACA is party to ten (10) material contracts for the
provision of mining services to parties within the resource and mining industry in
Australia. Early termination of any of these contracts, default by contracting parties
(including payment defaults), or disputes or litigation with contracting parties, could
adversely affect MACA’s growth prospects, operating results and financial performance.
Contractual disputes
and litigation
There is a risk that MACA or its subsidiaries may in the future have disputes with its
customers or other third parties (including payment disputes) and that this may
have an adverse impact on MACA’s growth prospects, operating results and financial
performance.
Disruption of
businesses operations
Concentration of
shareholding
Labour shortages
Climatic
General Risks
MACA and its customers are exposed to a range of operational risks, including
equipment failure, accidents, information system failure, external services failure,
industrial action or disputes, and natural disasters. The occurrence of one of these
incidents could adversely affect MACA’s growth prospects, operating results and financial
performance.
Following completion of the Offer, the Existing Shareholders will hold approximately
60% of MACA. Any sale of shares by the Existing Shareholders could have a negative
impact on the price of Shares. Refer to Section 5.1 for details of the shareholdings of the
Existing Shareholders.
Increased activity in the resources sector can lead to a shortage in the availability of
a skilled labour pool, which can create cost increases and reduction in output and
expansion potential for MACA.
Severe and prolonged weather events could adversely affect MACA’s operations and its
financial performance.
Changes in legislation, general economic risks and market conditions may affect MACA’s
operations and the price at which its shares trade on ASX.
Investors should be aware that an investment in MACA involves risks that may be higher than risks associated with an investment in some other
companies. Careful consideration should be given to all matters raised in this Prospectus and the relative risk factors prior to applying for Shares offered
for subscription under this Prospectus. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of appropriate safeguards and actions, but some are outside
MACA’s control and cannot be mitigated. Investors should consider the risk factors described above and outlined in more detail in Section 12, together
with the information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for Shares.

MACA PROSPECTUS 2010
2 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
DEAR INVESTOR,
On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to offer you an opportunity to invest in MACA Limited (MACA or the Company).
MACA is a leading supplier of mining and civil services to clients in the mining and construction sector in Western
Australia.
The MACA business was founded in 2002 and has built a reputation based on the quality and reliability of its services.
Operations currently include services in contract mining, loading and hauling, drilling and blasting, crushing and
screening, and civil infrastructure requirements.
MACA has a workforce in excess of 500 employees and subcontractors. The Company is focused on the safety of its staff
and has a comprehensive health, safety and environmental management program.
The current clients of MACA are Atlas Iron Limited, Regis Resources Limited, Western Areas NL, Crescent Gold Limited,
Sinosteel Midwest Corp Ltd, Barrick (Plutonic) Limited (a subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation), Crosslands Resources Ltd
and Magellan Metals Pty Ltd (a subsidiary of TSX-listed Ivernia Inc).
The quality of MACA’s management, customer relationships and expertise within its core business divisions combined with
utilising a modern fleet of equipment are all factors contributing to MACA’s strong financial performance. As a result of
these factors and the Company’s demonstrated track record, MACA has experienced significant financial growth despite
capital constraints that has limited MACA’s ability to finance more equipment which, in turn, has limited MACA’s capacity to
undertake more projects.
In the financial year ended 30 June 2010, MACA achieved revenue of $155 million (representing revenue growth of 88%
from FY2009) and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $37.8 million. In the financial
year ended 30 June 2011, MACA forecasts revenue of $242 million, pro forma EBITDA of $53.2 million, and a pro forma net
profit after tax of $23.1 million. MACA is forecasting paying a fully franked half year dividend of 3 cents per share and a fully
franked final year dividend of 3 cents per share implying a yield, on an annualised basis, of 6% on the IPO price of $1.00 per
share. This forecast growth is based on MACA’s strong existing contracted work, with 98% of forecast 2011 revenue based
on existing contracts and other assumptions, further details of which are set out in Section 9 of this Prospectus.
The Offer will raise total proceeds of $60 million, comprising an Offer of New Shares and an Offer of Existing Shares at
$1.00 each. The funds from the issue of 35 million New Shares will be primarily used to enable MACA to fund future growth
opportunities. The Offer of 25 million Existing Shares provides an opportunity for the Existing Shareholders to realise a
portion of their existing investment in MACA and provide liquidity in the Shares of MACA while retaining a significant stake
in the future of the business.
Subscribers to the Offer will hold 40% of the issued share capital of MACA. The remaining Shares will be held by the
Existing Shareholders. The Existing Shareholders have entered into 12 month voluntary escrow arrangements in respect of
their retained shareholdings.
Along with providing MACA access to capital markets, the ASX listing will provide employees of MACA with the
opportunity to participate in the ownership of MACA and increase awareness of MACA throughout the mining industry.
The Board believes that this will strengthen MACA’s competitive position and continue to drive the growth of the MACA
business over the years to come.
Details of the Offer, MACA’s business and the risks of investing in MACA are contained in this Prospectus, which I encourage
you to read carefully.
Together with my fellow Directors, I look forward to welcoming you as a Shareholder of MACA.
Yours faithfully
Andrew Edwards
Chairman

at 30 June 2010 plus interest bearing liabilities (including utilised hire purchase facilities) of $38,444,394.
The financial information for the 2009 and 2010 financial years has been audited. For further information in relation
to the pro forma historical information please refer to Section 9 Financial Information and Section 11 Investigating
Accountant’s Report.
MACA expects to pay a fully franked half year interim dividend of 3 cents per share and a fully franked final year
dividend of 3 cents per share implying a yield, on an annualised basis, of 6% on the IPO price of $1.00 per share. This
expectation is based on the forecast profit for FY2011 and is subject to final approval by the Board of Directors. The
ability to pay a dividend and the actual payout ratio will depend on MACA’s actual profitability, tax position and future
business opportunities.
The forecast financial information is based on a number of assumptions, estimates and pro-forma adjustments that
are subject to business, economic and competitive uncertainties. The forecast statutory net profit after tax for the
2011 financial year is $22,147,000. The adjustment of $946,769 relates to the share based payment expense arising
from the issue of shares to the Managing Director, Mr. Christopher Tuckwell. The forecast information presented in this
Prospectus may vary from actual financial results and these variations may be material. Please refer to Sections 9 and
10 of the Prospectus for further details in relation to the forecast financial information and assumptions.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
This section contains various publicly available estimates, projections, statements and opinions by the government and
industry bodies in relation to activity (both historical and prospective) in the mining sector and contract mining services
sector in Australia.
The Directors consider that it is appropriate to include the information in this section so as to provide industry information
to assist investors in their decision making process as to whether to invest in Shares under this Prospectus.
INTRODUCTION
6.1
MACA operates within the mining services sector of the Australian resources and mining industry.
The contract mining and crushing services provided by MACA are diversified across a range of disciplines, including
loading and hauling, drilling and blasting, crushing and screening and civil infrastructure across a broad range of
commodities.
The contract mining industry is inextricably linked to mining activity. Commodity prices and mining activity are cyclical in
nature. MACA believes that the high commodity prices currently being enjoyed by miners, with bulk commodities having
experienced record price rises and base metals prices significantly higher than long term averages, provides a strong
operating environment for MACA.
6.2 MARKET FOR CONTRACT MINING SERVICES
It is estimated that the mining services industry accounts for about 0.3% of total GDP and that the annual growth in
mining services from 2005 to 2010 was 6.9%. It is estimated that the contract mining industry had a turnover of $7.1 billion
in 2010 with open cut contract mining operations accounting for 75% of the segment.
The pipeline for new project development remains robust with the Australian Bureau of Agriculture and Resource
Economics (ABARE) estimating that there are 28 advanced development stage mining projects that are either committed
or under construction with an estimated capital cost of $23.96 billion.

In addition, ABARE estimates that there are 148 less advanced minerals mining projects that are either undergoing a
feasibility or prefeasibility study or have not yet been subject to a final investment decision since the completion of a
feasibility study with a total estimated value of $68.3 billion.
With the current strong demand for the development of new projects in Western Australia, the Directors are optimistic that
MACA is well positioned to benefit from the resultant increased demand for contract mining services.
19
6.3 KEY DRIVERS OF DEMAND FOR CONTRACT MINING SERVICES
The key driver of demand for contract mining services is the overall level of mine production and new mine developments
which is linked to commodity demand and prices.
The demand for contract mining services is also linked to the mine operator’s decision to undertake the mining operations
in-house or to outsource to a contractor. The decision to outsource is influenced by a number of factors including
operating costs, complexity of the mining operation, commodity, life of mine and financial capacity of the mine owner.
By utilising contractors a mine owner can gain from the benefits of economies of scale, maintain flexibility, operational
management expertise, access to capital equipment and skilled labour resources.
By operating across a broad range of commodities and mining operations MACA can utilise its operational experience to
provide its clients with productivity advantages and availability of equipment and personnel.
6.4 COMPETITION IN THE CONTRACT MINING SERVICES SECTOR
The competition for mining services contracts is not only price driven but also dependent on the quality of services
provided, operational track record and reputation of the contractor, safety track record, capacity to provide the required
services as well as the ability of the mine owner to undertake the mining operations in house.
The key barriers to entry in the sector include capital required to establish an operating base underpinned primarily by
large scale plant and equipment and an operational track record.

MACA PROSPECTUS 2010
7 COMPANY AND BUSINESS OVERVIEW
7.1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
MACA’s business of providing mining services to clients in the iron ore, gold and the base metals mining sectors within
Australia was founded in 2002 with the incorporation of Mining & Civil Australia Pty Ltd. Since then, the business has
grown to include the following services:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
contract mining;
loading and hauling;

civil infrastructure requirements such as tailings storage facilities, settlement ponds, construction pads and service
roads.
Further information in relation to MACA’s services and operating divisions are detailed in Section 7.8 below.
7.2 HISTORY OF STRONG GROWTH
MACA has experienced significant growth, with revenue having increased by 88% in FY2010 and EBITDA having increased
by 62% in FY2010.
The key cost inputs for MACA are labour, diesel fuel, consumables and equipment lease charges. MACA has rise and

7.3 COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
MACA’s strong history of growth has been mainly driven by its key competitive advantages:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f )
positioning of MACA as a specialist provider of mining services to predominantly mid-size mining projects within a
range of commodity sectors, including iron ore, gold and base metals;
the provision of high quality services and the strong reputation of MACA;
a highly experienced executive management team focused on quality service, employee safety and client needs;
medium to long term contracts with a dynamic client base, giving a strong work in hand position;
an extensive, well managed and modern fleet of equipment providing reliable service to a diverse client base; and
its capability of providing a diverse range of complementary services.
The Board believes that an ASX listing will be a strategic step in the continued growth of MACA by lifting the Company’s
profile within the sector, providing additional capital to fund future growth and enabling access to future capital.
22
MACA PROSPECTUS 2010
7.4 STRONG GROWTH OUTLOOK
The Directors believe that MACA is well positioned in the resources sector and is well placed to continue to secure further
mining services contracts.
In FY 2011, MACA forecasts pro forma EBITDA of $53.2 million, which represents growth of 41% over FY 2010.
Approximately 98% of forecast 2011 revenue is based on existing contracts. The 2011 forecast is not dependent on the
raising of new funds from the issue of New Shares. The funds raised pursuant to this Prospectus will provide additional
capital to enable MACA to fund further contracts and build upon the current contracted work position.
Please refer to Section 9 of this Prospectus for further details on these forecasts and the underlying assumptions.
The current total contracted work extends over period of up to six years from January 2010 with potential for further
growth in contract scale and from contract extensions.

a strong track record of growth which is demonstrated through the historic growth of the number of projects on which
MACA has been working (see figure 2 in Section 7.2) and the growth in revenue over the same period.
The Board is confident that MACA’s strong market position and reputation will enable MACA’s business to continue to grow
through the award of new projects. The number of new projects under consideration remains robust and MACA maintains
a watching brief over a large number of potential projects across a broad range of commodities.
In addition to growth through securing new projects, MACA aims to generate further growth by:
a)
b)
c)
d)
maintaining and developing current relationships with the existing client base;
expanding the civil infrastructure services offering to our mining clientele and target civil based infrastructure
projects;
expanding operations into other geographic locations within Australia; and
increasing prequalification status on mining and civil and road infrastructure related works.
The Board is of the view that these objectives are supported by MACA’s competitive strengths which include:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f )
demonstrated capacity to deliver projects within time and budget;
early involvement in targeted projects;
strong reputation in the core delivery area – “we do what we say we will do”;
highly qualified and experienced personnel;
an extensive, well managed and modern fleet of equipment delivering a high level of plant availability; and
an ability to develop strong working relationships with our clients as evidenced by repeat business.
Following the completion of the Offer, the Board believes that MACA will have sufficient financial capacity to enable it to
pursue further contracts over and above the current work in hand position which will assist in driving the future growth of
the Company.

This Section contains the pro forma historical financial information and Directors’ forecasts for MACA (the Financial
Information) that the Directors consider relevant to investors. The Financial Information is presented in an abbreviated
form and does not contain all the disclosures that are usually contained in an annual report prepared in accordance
with the Corporations Act 2001. The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and
measurement principles of applicable Australian Accounting Standards.
MACA Limited was incorporated on 22 June 2010 and has subsequently become the parent entity of Mining & Civil
Australia Pty Ltd, MACA Plant Pty Ltd and MACA Crushing Pty Ltd which are now wholly owned subsidiaries. The
restructure was undertaken in order to provide a simplified corporate structure for listing on the ASX. The subsidiary
companies have historically been managed as one business with a common effective shareholding, although their
statutory reports have not always been fully consolidated.
MACA also owns 60% of the newly formed entity MACA Civil Pty Ltd. The forecast results attributable to this equity interest
are included in the consolidated forecast.
The Directors have prepared pro forma historical financial information to illustrate what the financial performance and
financial position of MACA would have been had the various businesses reported as a single group since 1 July 2008.
The historical financial information and financial forecast for the 2011 financial year have been prepared by management
and adopted by the Directors. The Directors are responsible for the inclusion of the Financial Information in this Prospectus.
The Financial Information in this Section should be read in conjunction with the Directors’ best estimate assumptions
underlying the preparation of these forecasts, the sensitivity analysis, the reconciliation between the pro forma forecast
financial information and the statutory forecast financial information, the summary of significant accounting policies and
the risk factors set out in Section 12 and other information contained within this Prospectus.
This Financial Information Section contains the following:
•
•
Pro forma historical consolidated income statements of MACA for the years ended 30 June 2009 and 30 June 2010.
Forecast consolidated income statements of MACA for the 2011 financial year.
This Section also contains applicable notes to the Financial Information described above including sensitivities,
management discussion and analysis on the historical financial information and other applicable notes.

The pro forma historical income statements have been derived from the audited financial statements for FY2009 and
FY2010.
The forecast income statement for FY2011 has been derived from the Directors’ forecast income statement and is

Christopher Tuckwell.
The forecast dividend for the financial year ending 2011 is six cents per Share, fully franked, on the expectation that
the Directors’ forecasts are achieved. It is the current intention of the Director’s to declare an interim dividend of three
cents per Share following the release of the 2011 half year results to be paid in March 2011 and declare a final dividend
of three cents per Share following the release of the 2011 full year results to be paid in September 2011.
The total number of Shares on issue following the Offer will be the sum of the total of New Shares issued under the
Offer, the number of Shares sold under the Offer by the Existing Shareholders and the number of Shares retained
by the Existing Shareholders but excludes proposed options to be issued and any future shares that may be issued
following the exercise of any options.
43
9.3 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
REvENuE SuMMARy
The revenue increased by 88% in the 2010 financial year due to the commencement of five new contracts and
recommencement of operations for Magellan Metals Pty Ltd and Sinosteel Midwest Corporation Limited. MACA currently
provides mining services on eight projects and also undertakes the crushing and screening services on three of these,
being the DSO Iron Ore projects.
EBITDA SuMMARy
The EBITDA increased by 62% in the 2010 financial year due to the increased revenue described above and the resultant
increase in utilisation of plant and equipment.
LIquIDITy AND CAPITAL RESOuRCES
MACA’s principal sources of funds to date have been cash flows from operations, borrowings (in the form of hire purchase
facilities) and retained profits. As at 30 June 2010, MACA had cash on hand of $6.01 million and total borrowings of $38.4
million. Total equity was $35.7 million. Working capital comprises of cash on hand, trade receivables, investments and
accounts payable. MACA’s working capital levels are appropriate for contracts currently being undertaken and the forecast
results. Existing plant and equipment is also adequate to effectively execute contracts from which revenue is being derived
during the forecast period.
The principal sources of funds over the period covered by the Directors’ forecasts will be cash flow from operations, funds
from the issue of new Shares and any new hire purchase financing facilities entered into to acquire new equipment.
Following completion of the Offer, MACA will have sufficient working capital and capital resources to pursue further
contracts not contained within the forecasts.
9.4 SENSITIVITIES
The forecast Financial Information is based on certain economic and business assumptions about future events. A
summary of the key best estimate assumptions underlying the forecast is set out in Section 9.6. The forecast financial
information is sensitive to a number of key assumptions. A summary of the likely impact of movements in certain key
assumptions on the pro forma forecast net profit after tax is presented in the table below. However, the changes in the key
assumptions set out below are not intended to be indicative of the complete range of variations that may occur and are
not intended as any indication of potential changes considered likely by the Directors.
SENSITIVITY
NPAT IMPACT $M
NPAT IMPACT %
Revenue (+/- 5%)

Labour (+/- 5%)
+/- $2.16
+/- $0.55
+/- $2.12

Care should be taken in interpreting these sensitivities. The estimated impact of changes in each of the variables has been
calculated in isolation from changes in other variables over the full-year. It is possible that more than one variable may
move at any one point in time, giving rise to cumulative effects, which are not reflected in the above analysis. In practice,
changes in variables may offset each other or may be additive, and it is likely that MACA’s management would, to the
extent possible, respond to any adverse change in one variable by taking action to minimise the net effect on the earnings
of MACA.
44
MACA PROSPECTUS 2010
9.5 KEY SPECIFIC ASSUMPTIONS IN RELATION TO THE FORECAST FINANCIAL
INFORMATION
The Directors’ Forecasts have been prepared by the Directors with due care and attention, on the basis of the Directors’
general and specific best estimate assumptions included below. The Directors consider these best estimate assumptions to
be reasonable. The Directors’ forecasts and assumptions should be read in conjunction with all the information contained
in this Prospectus.
The information regarding Directors’ assumptions are provided for the purpose of assisting potential investors in assessing
the reasonableness and likelihood of the Directors’ Forecasts being achieved, and is not intended to be a representation
that those events that have been assumed will occur. Potential investors should be aware of the risks of placing undue
reliance on the information in this section.
The Directors’ best estimate assumptions are subject to general economic conditions, business and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of MACA and the Directors and therefore are not
certain. The industry in which MACA operates is subject to many external influences which can materially impact MACA’s
financial performance. The Directors’ forecasts should not be regarded as a representation or warranty that the Company
will achieve or is likely to achieve any particular result. Investors should note that past results do not guarantee future
performance.
The key specific assumptions adopted in preparing the Forecast Financial Information are summarised below. Growth is
expressed in percentage terms and represents growth over the 2010 financial year.
•
•
•
•
•
•
The Forecast Financial Information has been derived from a formal budget setting process and incorporates and
assesses the business and expected performance of the existing contracts in terms of growth, margins and profitability.
The budget setting process considers the historical performance of the businesses, adjusted for forecast levels of
activity and performance.
The revenue is forecast to increase by 56% based on the existing, contracted order book for 2011. 98% of the revenue
forecast of $242 million is based on existing contracts. The majority of revenue is earned on a per tonne or BCM
basis generated from load and haul activities and crushing and screening activities based on client prepared mining
schedules. The balance of forecast revenue representing 2% of the total revenue forecast is expected to be derived
from the recently established MACA Civil joint venture. The Directors are confident that, based on the track record of
the MACA Civil executives, the known level of opportunities for new civil works and the opportunity to offer civil works
services to existing clients, the forecast revenue of $5.4 million for MACA Civil is achievable. The forecast revenue is not
dependent on the funds being raised from the issue of New Shares.
No capacity of resource constraints during the forecast period, including and not limited to direct labour, labour
disruptions, equipment consumables and fuel. MACA has rise and fall provisions in all of its contracts. These provisions
cover certain cost inputs and are linked to cost benchmarks agreed with the client.
98% of forecast revenue is based on existing contracts and MACA is currently working on these contracts. The forecast
costs and hence the forecast margin on each contract is based on the actual results achieved historically on each one of
these contracts.
The pro forma net profit after tax is forecast to increase by 41% due to the increase in forecast revenue and anticipating
the maintenance of the historical margins being achieved on each contract.
The forecast statutory net profit after tax for the 2011 financial year is $22,147,000. The forecast statutory net profit after
tax includes an expense of $946,769 related to the share based payment expense arising from the issue of 1,150,000
Shares to the Managing Director, Mr Christopher Tuckwell. The Directors consider that the issue of Shares to Mr.
Tuckwell is a one off, non recurring expense and have provided a pro forma forecast net profit after tax of $23,094,000
(rounded to the near thousand) reflecting the adjustment of this share issue expense.
45
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The forecasts exclude the impact on forecast revenue and costs in relation to any further contracts being secured and
MACA commencing work on new uncontracted projects during the 2011 financial year over and above work already
contracted.
The forecasts allow for a certain level of working capital based on current contracted work and past historical
requirements. The additional funds from the issue of new Shares will place the Company in a strong financial position to
secure more work in the future and strengthen the working capital position in the short term.
The forecasts assume no contract cancellations or terminations, force majeure events, environmental issues or material
change in relation to existing contracts.
The forecasts assume that all customers meet their financial commitments to MACA in accordance with the terms of
their contracts.
The timing and value of work may differ from that assumed in the Directors’ forecasts and this may have a material
positive or negative effect on MACA’s actual financial performance.
The forecasts assume no bad or doubtful debts being incurred.
The forecasts do not provide for any claims or refunds that may be demanded by a client in relation to disputes that
may arise in the future in relation to contracts being executed by MACA.
The forecasts assume a depreciation rate consistent with prior years and in accordance with equipment depreciation
schedules. The forecast depreciation rates do not take into account any change in Australian Accounting Standards over
the course of the forecast period which may impact the Company’s depreciation expense.
The forecast costs include repairs and maintenance costs that are likely to be incurred on the current level and expected
level of plant and equipment being utilised on current contracts. The repairs and maintenance costs are based on
historical records in relation to specific items of plant and equipment and the experience of management.
The forecast costs include expenses associated with equipment hire for plant and equipment being utilised on the
current contracts and equipment that will be required to execute the current contracts during the forecast period.
The forecasts provide for costs associated with being a listed public company.
The tax rate for companies remaining at 30% and the forecasts assume that there will be no changes in taxation
legislation that would have a material impact on MACA’s financial position or performance.
9.6 GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS IN RELATION TO THE FORECAST INFORMATION
A number of general assumptions have been made in preparing the forecast Financial Information and are set out below:
No significant change in general economic conditions.
No significant change in the legislative regimes and regulatory environments in the jurisdictions in which MACA or its
key clients or suppliers operate.
Key MACA personnel are retained.
No material acquisitions or disposals.
No weather events occur which adversely impact production at contracted projects.
No material adverse change in the competitive environment in the contract mining industry.

10 INVESTIGATING ACCOUNTANT’S REVIEW ON
FORECAST FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Directors
MACA Limited
96 Ewing Street
Welshpool WA 6106
22 September 2010
Dear Sirs
INvESTIGATING ACCOuNTANT’S REvIEW ON FORECAST FINANCIAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
We have prepared this Investigating Accountant’s Report (“the Report”) on the forecast financial information of the MACA
Limited group of companies (“the Company”) and controlled entities (“the Group”) for forecast financial information for
the financial year ending 30 June 2011, for inclusion in a Prospectus dated on or about 1 October 2010 (“the Prospectus”)
relating to the issue of 35 million new ordinary Shares in the Company and the sale of 25 million Shares by the Vendor
Shareholders. Where applicable, this Report is prepared in accordance with Australian Auditing and Assurance Standard
ASRE 2405 “Review of Historical Financial Information Other than a Financial Report” and RG 170 “Prospective financial
information”.
Expressions defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this Report.
The nature of this Report is such that it can be given only by an entity which holds a specific licence. BDO Consultants (WA)
Pty Ltd holds the appropriate Australian Financial Services Licence under the Corporations Act 2001.
BACKGROUND
For background information relating to the Company we refer you to Section 7 of the Prospectus.
SCOPE
You have requested BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd to prepare a report covering forecasts for the Company for the
year ending 30 June 2011.
REVIEW OF FORECAST FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Directors’ Forecasts have been prepared by the Directors using a set of assumptions which include best-estimate
assumptions relating to future events and management actions that the Directors expect to occur. The Directors’ best-
estimate assumptions are set out in Section 9 of the Prospectus.
(referred to collectively as the “Forecasts”)
47
The Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Forecasts, including the best-estimate
assumptions. The Forecasts have been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus. We disclaim any assumption of
responsibility for any reliance on this Report or on the forecasts to which it relates for any purposes other than for which it
was prepared.
REvIEW OF DIRECTORS’ BEST-ESTIMATE ASSuMPTIONS
Our review of the best-estimate assumptions underlying the Directors’ forecasts was conducted in accordance with the
Australian Auditing and Assurance Standard ASRE 2405 “Review of Historical Financial Information Other than a Financial
Report”. Our procedures consisted primarily of enquiry and comparison and other such analytical review procedures we
considered necessary.
These procedures included discussion with the Directors and management of the Company and have been undertaken
to form an opinion whether anything has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the best-estimate
assumptions do not provide a reasonable basis for the preparation of the forecasts and whether, in all material respects,
the forecasts are properly prepared on the basis of the best-estimate assumptions and are presented fairly in accordance
with the recognition and measurement principles prescribed in Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional
reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies of the Company disclosed in Section 11 of the Prospectus
so as to present a view of the Company which is consistent with our understanding of the Company’s past, current and
future operations.
The forecasts have been prepared by the Directors to provide investors with a guide to the Company’s potential future
financial performance based upon the achievement of certain economic, operating, developmental and trading
assumptions about future events and actions that have not yet occurred and may not necessarily occur. There is a
considerable degree of subjective judgement involved in the preparation of forecasts. Actual results may vary materially
from those forecasts and the variation may be materially positive or negative. Accordingly, investors should have regard to
the investment risks and sensitivities set out in Section 12 of the Prospectus.
Our review of the forecast information that is based on best-estimate assumptions is substantially less in scope than an
audit examination conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing and Assurance Standards. A review of this nature
provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and we do not express an audit opinion on the
forecasts included in the Prospectus.
CONCLUSION
REvIEW STATEMENT ON THE FORECASTS
Based on our review of the forecasts, which is not an audit, and based on an investigation of the reasonableness of
the Directors’ best-estimate assumptions giving rise to the prospective financial information, nothing has come to our
attention which causes us to believe that:
i)
ii)
the Directors’ best-estimate assumptions set out in Section 9 of the Prospectus do not provide reasonable grounds
for the preparation of the forecasts;
the forecasts are not properly compiled on the basis of the Directors’ best-estimate assumptions and are presented
fairly in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles prescribed in Accounting Standards and other
mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by the Company
disclosed in Section 11 of the Prospectus; and
iii)
that the forecast itself is unreasonable.
The underlying assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies often outside the control of
the Company. If events do not occur as assumed, actual results and distributions achieved by the Company may vary
significantly from the forecasts. Accordingly, we do not confirm or guarantee the achievement of the forecasts, as future
events, by their very nature, are not capable of independent substantiation.

11 INVESTIGATING ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT
The Directors
MACA Limited
96 Ewing St
Welshpool WA 6106
22 September 2010
Dear Sirs
INvESTIGATING ACCOuNTANT’S REPORT
INTRODUCTION
We have prepared this Investigating Accountant’s Report (“Report”) on historical financial information of MACA Limited
(“MACA” or “the Company”) for inclusion in the Prospectus. Broadly, the Prospectus will offer up to 60 million shares at an
issue price of $1.00 each (“the Offer”). The Offer comprises the issue of 35 million new shares and a sell down of 25 million
shares by existing shareholders.
Under the proposed issue $35 million will be raised before costs.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
This Report has been prepared to provide investors with information on the Income Statement, the Balance Sheet and the
pro-forma Balance Sheet, and Statement of Cash Flows as noted in Appendices 1, 2 and 3.
This Report does not address the rights attaching to the shares to be issued in accordance with the Prospectus, nor the
risks associated with the investment, and has been prepared based on the complete Offer being achieved. BDO Corporate
Finance (WA) Pty Ltd (“BDO”) has not been requested to consider the prospects for the Company, the shares on offer and
related pricing issues, nor the merits and risks associated with becoming a shareholder and accordingly has not done so,
and does not purport to do so. BDO accordingly takes no responsibility for these matters or for any matter or omission in
the Prospectus, other than responsibility for this Report. Risk factors are set out in the Prospectus.
Expressions defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this Report.
BACKGROUND
MACA was founded in 2002 and is a leading supplier of mining and civil services to clients in the mining and construction
sector in Western Australia. Operations currently include services in contract mining, loading and hauling, drilling and
blasting, crushing and screening and civil infrastructure solutions. MACA’s clients are leading resources companies, and the
company currently has an industry experienced workforce in excess of 500 employees and subcontractors.
50
MACA PROSPECTUS 2010
SCOPE
You have requested BDO to prepare an Investigating Accountant’s Report covering the following financial information:
•
•
•
•
the historical income statement for the year ended 30 June 2009 and the historical and proforma income statement
for the year ended 30 June 2010;
the historical balance sheet as at 30 June 2009 and the historical and proforma balance sheets as at 30 June 2010
reflecting the actual position as at that date, major transactions between that date and the date of our report and
the proposed capital raising under the Prospectus;
the historical statement of cash flows for the years ended 30 June 2009 and 30 June 2010; and
the accounting policies applied by MACA in preparing its financial statements.
The historical financial information set out in the appendices to this Report has been extracted from the financial
statements of the Company for the years ended 30 June 2009 and 30 June 2010.
The Directors are responsible for the preparation of the historical financial information including determination of the
adjustments.
We have conducted our review of the historical financial information in accordance with the Australian Auditing and
Assurance Standard ASRE 2405 “Review of Historical Financial Information Other than a Financial Report”. We made
such inquiries and performed such procedures as we, in our professional judgment, considered reasonable in the
circumstances including:
•
•
•
•
a review of work papers, accounting records and other documents pertaining to balances in existence at 30 June
2009 and 30 June 2010;
a review of the assumptions used to compile the pro-forma Balance Sheet;
a review of the adjustments made to the pro-forma historical financial information;
a comparison of consistency in application of the recognition and measurement principles in Accounting Standards
and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by the
Company disclosed in the appendices to this Report; and
•
enquiry of Directors and others.
These procedures do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, thus the level of assurance
provided is less than given in an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion.
Our review was limited primarily to an examination of the historical financial information, the pro-forma financial
information, analytical review procedures and discussions with both management and directors. A review of this
nature provides less assurance than an audit and, accordingly, this Report does not express an audit opinion on the
historical information or pro-forma financial information included in this Report or elsewhere in the Prospectus.
In relation to the information presented in this Report:-
•
•
support by another person, corporation or an unrelated entity has not been assumed;
the amounts shown in respect of assets do not purport to be the amounts that would have been realised if the
assets were sold at the date of this Report; and
•
the going concern basis of accounting has been adopted.

CONCLUSION
STATEMENT ON HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Based on our review, which was not an audit, nothing has come to our attention which would cause us to believe the
historical financial information as set out in the Appendices to this report does not present fairly the financial performance
for the years ended 30 June 2009 and 30 June 2010, the financial position as at 30 June 2009 and 30 June 2010, or the
statement of cash flows for the years ended 30 June 2009 and 30 June 2010, in accordance with the measurement and
recognition requirements (but not all of the disclosure requirements) of applicable Accounting Standards and other
mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia.
STATEMENT OF PRO-FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Based on our review, which was not an audit, nothing has come to our attention which would cause us to believe the pro-
forma financial information does not present fairly the financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2010, in accordance
with the measurement and recognition requirements (but not all of the disclosure requirements) of applicable Accounting
Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia as if the pro-forma transactions had
occurred on that date.
SUBSEqUENT EVENTS
Apart from the matters dealt with in this Report, and having regard to the scope of our Report, to the best of our
knowledge and belief, no other material transactions or events outside of the ordinary business of the Company have
come to our attention that would require comment on, or adjustment to, the information referred to in our Report or that
would cause such information to be misleading or deceptive.
The pro-forma Balance Sheet reflects the following events that have occurred subsequent to the year ended 30 June 2010:
•
•
A dividend payment of $6.5 million to the equity holders of MACA Plant Pty Ltd; and
The sale of a 20% interest in the 96 Ewing Street, Welshpool premises for $814,000 to record a gain on disposal of
$474,000, equating to a gain of $331,800 after tax effect.
ASSUMPTIONS ADOPTED IN COMPILING THE PRO-FORMA BALANCE SHEET
The pro-forma balance sheet post issue is shown in Appendix 2. This has been prepared based on the audited financial
statements as at 30 June 2010 and the transactions and events relating to the issue of shares under this Prospectus:
•
•
•
Issue of 35 million new ordinary shares at $1.00 each through the prospectus;
The payment of expenses associated with the preparation and issue of the Prospectus amounting to approximately
$2,050,000. These capital raising costs have been netted off against the share capital raised and have reduced the cash
balance by the amount of these costs, excluding GST; and
Share based payments expense reserve of $946,769 relating to ordinary share capital issued to Chris Tuckwell
(Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer).

MACA LIMITED
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
SuMMARy OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOuNTING POLICIES
NOTE 1.
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the historical financial information included in this Report
have been set out below.
BAsis oF PRePARATion oF HisToRiCAL FinAnCiAL inFoRMATion
a)
The historical financial information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement, but not all
the disclosure requirements of the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“AIFRS”), other
authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Interpretations and
the Corporations Act 2001.
Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies
with International Financial Reporting Standards.
PRinCiPLes oF ConsoLiDATion
b)
A controlled entity is any entity controlled by MACA Limited. Control exists where MACA Limited has the capacity to
dominate the decision making in relation to the financial and operating policies of another entity so that the other entity
operates with MACA Limited to achieve the objectives of MACA Limited.
The MACA consolidated group comprises of:
•
•
•
•
MACA Limited – the parent entity;
Mining and Civil Australia Pty Ltd – a 100% fully owned subsidiary of MACA Limited;
MACA Plant Pty Ltd – a 100% fully owned subsidiary of MACA Limited; and
MACA Crushing Pty Ltd – a 100% fully owned subsidiary of MACA Limited.
As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated
financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered (left) the Group
during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased).
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the Group, including any unrealised profits or losses,
have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure
consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity.
Business CoMBinATions
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities
or businesses under common control. The acquisition method requires that for each business combination one of the
combining entities must be identified as the acquirer (ie parent entity). The business combination will be accounted for
as at the acquisition date, which is the date that control over the acquiree is obtained by the parent entity. At this date,
the parent shall recognise, in the consolidated accounts, and subject to certain limited exceptions, the fair value of the
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In addition, contingent liabilities of the acquiree will be recognised
where a present obligation has been incurred and its fair value can be reliably measured.
The acquisition may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The method adopted for the
measurement of goodwill will impact on the measurement of any non-controlling interest to be recognised in the acquiree
where less than 100% ownership interest is held in the acquiree.
The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair
value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements.
Consideration may comprise the sum of the assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the
former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer.
58
MACA PROSPECTUS 2010
Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the statement of comprehensive income. Where
changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such
amounts are recycled to profit or loss.
Included in the measurement of consideration transferred is any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration
arrangement. Any obligation incurred relating to contingent consideration is classified as either a financial liability or
equity instrument, depending upon the nature of the arrangement. Rights to refunds of consideration previously paid
are recognised as a receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not
remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset
or a liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value through the statement of comprehensive income unless the
change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.
All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement of comprehensive
income.
inCoMe TAx
c)
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense
(income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable
income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore
measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year
as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss
when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have
been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable
profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is
realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement
also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or
liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is
probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be
controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net
settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to
income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it
is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in
future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
59
PRoPeRTY, PLAnT AnD equiPMenT
d)
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses.
PRoPeRTY
Freehold land and buildings are measured on a cost basis.
PLAnT AnD equiPMenT
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 that
will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted
to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an
appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when
it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be
measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the
financial period in which they are incurred.
DePReCiATion
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including capitalised leased assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated
on a straight line or diminishing value basis over their estimated useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the
asset is held ready for use. Properties held for investment purposes are not subject to a depreciation charge. Leasehold
improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of
the improvements.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
CLASS OF FIXED ASSET
Plant and Equipment
Low value pool
Motor vehicles
Leasehold improvements
DEPRECIATION RATE
2.5% - 50%
18.75% or 37.5%
18.75% - 50%
2.5%
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
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 and losses are
included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation
surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.
60
MACA PROSPECTUS 2010
LeAses
e)
Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the
legal ownership that is transferred to entities in the Group, are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of
the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease
payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as
expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of
the lease term.
iMPAiRMenT oF AsseTs
f)
At each the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be
impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends
received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an
indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being
the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s
carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income.
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.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
eMPLoYee BeneFiTs
g)
Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees
to balance date. Employee entitlements expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising from
wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave which will be settled after one year, have been measured at their nominal
amount. Other employee entitlements payable later than one year have also been measured at their nominal amount and
consideration has been given to the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting requirements.
Contributions are made by the Group to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred.
PRovisions
h)
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.
CAsH AnD CAsH equivALenTs
i)
Cash and cash equivalents include 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 balance sheet.
Revenue AnD oTHeR inCoMe
j)
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade
discounts and volume rebates allowed. Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance and is discounted
at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount
initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial
assets.
61
Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. Dividends received from
associates and joint venture entities are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting.
Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
BoRRoWinG CosTs
k)
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a
substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as
the assets are substantially ready for their intended use of sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.
GooDs AnD seRviCes TAx (GsT)
l)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is
not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances, the GST 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 balance sheet are shown
inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and
financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

MACA PROSPECTUS 2010
12 RISK FACTORS
12.1 INTRODUCTION
An investment in MACA is not risk free and prospective new investors should consider the risk factors described below,
together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for Shares.
The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which MACA is exposed.
12.2 SPECIFIC RISKS
RELIANCE ON THE MINING INDuSTRy
MACA’s financial performance is sensitive to the level of demand within the resources and mining industry. The level of
activity in the industry can be cyclical and sensitive to a number of factors beyond the control of MACA. In addition, MACA
may not be able to predict the timing, extent or duration of the activity cycles in the industry.
Any reduction in demand from the mining industry, or a reduction in the reliance by the mining industry on contractors
where clients decide to perform the services in-house, may negatively affect the growth prospects, operating results and
financial performance of MACA.
RELIANCE ON kEy PERSONNEL AND THE NEED TO ATTRACT quALIFIED STAFF
MACA’s success depends on the core competencies of its Directors and management team to operate in the resource and
mining industry. The loss of one or more of these persons could adversely affect the growth prospects, operating results
and financial performance of MACA.
There can be no assurance that MACA will be able to attract or retain sufficiently qualified personnel on a timely basis or
retain its key management personnel.
RELIANCE ON kEy CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS
MACA has established and will continue to establish important client relationships within the mining and resource
industry. The loss of one or more key clients could adversely affect the growth prospects, operating results and financial
performance of MACA.
Further, any reduction in operations or contractual default by a key client could adversely affect the operating results and
the financial performance of MACA.
ABILITy TO WIN NEW PROJECTS
MACA’s performance is influenced by its ability to win new projects and complete these projects in a timely manner.
The failure of MACA to win new projects could adversely impact its growth prospects, operating results and financial
performance.
FORECASTS
The Directors consider that it is not possible to accurately predict the future profitability of MACA beyond the 2011
financial year. MACA has made a number of assumptions in preparing its forecasts. The growth rates forecast in this
Prospectus are dependent upon a number of factors as explained in Section 9 of this Prospectus. Many of these factors are
outside the control of MACA. Should any of these factors not materialise, MACA may not achieve its forecasts (including
forecast net profit) as set out in Section 9 of this Prospectus.
COMPETITION RISkS
MACA’s current and future potential competitors include companies with substantially greater resources. MACA may not
be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors where aggressive pricing policies are employed to
capture market share. Such competition could result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share,
any of which could materially adversely affect MACA’s growth prospects, operating results and financial performance.
65
CONTRACTuAL ARRANGEMENTS
As at the date of this Prospectus, MACA is party to ten (10) material contracts for the provision of mining services to parties
within the resource and mining industry in Australia.
These contracts contain provisions providing for early termination of the contracts upon giving varying notice periods and
paying varying termination amounts. The early termination of any of these contracts, for any reason, may mean that MACA
will not realise the full value of the contract, which is likely to adversely affect the growth prospects, operating results and
financial performance of MACA.
CONTRACTuAL DISPuTES AND LITIGATION
Neither MACA nor any of its subsidiaries is currently involved in any material contractual disputes or litigation matters with
their customers or other third parties. However, there is a risk that MACA or its subsidiaries may in the future have disputes
with its customers or other third parties (including payment disputes) and that this may have an adverse impact on MACA’s
growth prospects, operating results and financial performance.
DISRuPTION OF BuSINESS OPERATIONS
MACA and its customers are exposed to a range of operational risks relating to both current and future operations. Such
operational risks include equipment failure, accidents, information system failure, external services failure, industrial action
or disputes, and natural disasters. While MACA endeavours to take appropriate action to mitigate these operational risks
and, where considered practicable, insure against them, MACA cannot control the risks its clients are exposed to, nor can it
completely remove all possible risks relating to its own business. A disruption in the operations of MACA or its customers
may have an adverse impact on the growth prospects, operating results and financial performance of MACA.
CONCENTRATION OF SHAREHOLDING
Following the completion of the Offer, the Existing Shareholders will together hold an interest in approximately 60% of
MACA. These Shares will be subject to a voluntary 12 month escrow period from the date the Company lists on ASX. Any
future sale of Shares by any of the Existing Shareholders may have a negative impact on the Share price of MACA as traded
on ASX.
LABOuR SHORTAGES
The provision of mining services is dependent on the availability and cost of skilled labour. The current strength of the
resource and mining industry has led to shortages in the availability of a skilled labour pool. In addition, the labour
shortage has created cost increases for the supply of labour and management services. A continued shortage of labour
may adversely affect MACA’s ability to continue with or expand its operations and may limit earnings and profitability.
Historically, MACA has had a strong track record of being able to attract adequate numbers of suitably qualified personnel,
thereby largely avoiding previous periods of labour shortages.
CLIMATIC
Severe and prolonged weather events could adversely affect MACA’s operations and its financial performance.
66
MACA PROSPECTUS 2010
12.3 GENERAL RISKS
In addition to the specific risks noted above, the following general risks apply to an investment in MACA:
LEGISLATIvE CHANGES
With the recent federal election, there is a risk that the elected government will introduce new policies and legislation that
relate to the mining industry (such as a resource tax). It is possible that any such policies or legislation will have a negative
impact on the mining industry generally and this could, in turn, have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations and
results.
ADDITIONAL FINANCING REquIREMENTS
The Directors expect that the proceeds of the public capital raising will provide sufficient capital resources to enable MACA
to achieve its initial business objectives. However, the Directors can give no assurances that such objectives will in fact
be met without future borrowings or further capital raisings and if such borrowings or capital raisings are required, that
they can be obtained on terms favorable to MACA. Depending on MACA’s ability to generate income from its operations,
MACA may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under this Prospectus. Any additional equity financing
will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.
If MACA is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and
scale back its expansion and development programmes as the case may be.
uNFORESEEN ExPENDITuRE RISk
Expenditure may need to be incurred that has not been taken into account in the preparation of this Prospectus. Although
MACA is not aware of any such additional expenditure requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may
adversely affect MACA’s growth prospects, operating results and financial performance.
ECONOMIC RISkS
General economic conditions (including demand for and price obtained for commodities), movements in interest and
inflation rates, and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on MACA’s activities, as well as on its ability to fund
those activities.
MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH
There is a risk that management of MACA will not be able to implement MACA’s growth strategy after completion of the
listing on ASX. The capacity of the new management to properly implement and manage the strategic direction of MACA
may affect MACA’s financial performance.
POTENTIAL ACquISITIONS
MACA may in the future pursue strategic acquisitions in the course of its business. Growth through acquisition entails
numerous operational and financial risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, poor integration of the acquired
businesses, entry into market segments with more risk than existing operations, and loss of managerial focus on existing
businesses. These risks may have an adverse impact on MACA’s financial performance.
FORCE MAJEuRE
Force majeure is a term used to refer to an event beyond the control of a party claiming that the event has occurred. These
include, but are not limited to, acts of God, fire, flood, earthquakes, war and strikes. To the extent that force majeure events
occur, they may adversely affect the Company’s financial performance, the value and price of Shares and the Company’s
ability to operate.
67
SHARE MARkET
Share market conditions may affect the value of MACA’s quoted securities regardless of MACA’s operating performance.
Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f )
general economic outlook;
interest rates and inflation rates;
currency fluctuations;
changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
terrorism or other hostilities.
12.4 INVESTMENT SPECULATIVE
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by MACA or by investors in MACA. The
above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of
MACA and the value of the securities offered under this Prospectus.
Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of
dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those securities.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in MACA is speculative and should consult their professional
advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares.

credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).
DIvIDEND RIGHTS
Subject to the rights of persons (if any) entitled to shares with special rights to dividend the Directors may declare
dividends in accordance with the Corporations Act and may authorise the payment or crediting by the Company to
