Stanmore Coal Annual Report 2020CHAIRMAN’S  
LETTER

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the Directors, I am 
pleased to make my first report to you 
as Chairman of Stanmore Coal Limited. 
The Company has delivered another 
solid operational performance in a 
year of significant change.

Financial performance

The Company’s revenue from operations totalled 
$364.5 million, a reduction of 10% on the previous year. 
Gross profit was also lower at $97.0 million, compared with 
$164.8 million in FY19. Underlying Earnings before Interest, 
Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation was $87.4 million, 
against the FY19 result of $154.9 million. The reduction is 
due to a 42.4% decrease in underlying margin as a result 
of increased waste removal costs following changes in 
the mine plan and equipment mix to deal with geological 
challenges. The average A$ realised price from coal sales 
also decreased by A$14.33/tonne as a result of reduced 
demand because of the impacts of COVID-19 on our 
customers and the relative strength of the Australian 
dollar against the US dollar. Stanmore Coal reported Net 
Profit After Tax of $34.9 million, compared with $91.6 million 
for the previous year.

Cash generated from operations totalled $6.4 million 
compared with $140.0 million in FY19. The difference 
can mostly be attributed to increases in payments to 
suppliers and employees and income tax, and reduced 
receipts from customers.

During the June quarter, formal notice was given 
by Taurus to cancel the US$12 million bonding facility 
and the undrawn US$28 million working capital facility 
with effect from 16 September following the change of 
control of the Company. The Company subsequently 
signed a non-binding term sheet with its parent entity, 
Golden Energy and Resources Limited in respect of 
a replacement US$40 million term loan facility to 
30 June 2022 on terms that are substantially similar 
to those entered into with Taurus.

The Board declared a fully franked interim dividend of 
3 cents per share which was paid to shareholders on 
30 April 2020. Shareholders on the register at that date 
also received a bonus issue of 7,788,200 new fully paid 
Stanmore shares, for no consideration. Taking account of 
the Company’s FY20 earnings and cashflow performance 
and the uncertainty relating to the ongoing impacts of 
COVID-19 on customers and coal demand, the Board has 
elected not to declare a final dividend for the financial year. 

Industry outlook

While the COVID-19 pandemic has had minimal direct 
impact on our operations, it has affected our customers 
and the level of demand for product coal, resulting in 
a decrease in realised prices from coal sales. 

Metallurgical coal has been relatively less affected by 
these market dynamics than thermal coal, and Stanmore’s 
concentration on metallurgical coal has supported 
the Company’s performance. A large proportion of the 
Company’s product coal is contracted to term customers, 
which has underpinned relatively stable prices compared 
with prevailing market prices. The Company expects 
realised prices on coal sales to remain stable, in line 
with industry forecasts.

Stanmore Coal Annual Report 2020Corporate activity

The unconditional on-market takeover offer by Golden 
Investments (Australia) Pte Ltd was announced on 2 April, 
with the offer opening on 17 April and closing on 18 May 
2020. The offer closed with Golden Investments’ holding 
a 75.33% in Stanmore Coal.

Subsequently, Stewart Butel, Neal O’Connor and 
Stephen Bizzell resigned as Directors of the Company 
on 18 May 2020. On the same date, four Non-Executive 
Directors were appointed: myself as Chairman along 
with Mark Trevan, Richard Majlinder and Mary Carroll. 
The Company thanks the former Directors for their service 
to Stanmore Coal and wishes them the best for the future. 

Jimmy Lim and Marcelo Matos also joined the Board 
during the reporting period, in October and November 
2019 respectively. 

The Company also thanks Dan Clifford, who resigned 
as Managing Director and CEO in October 2019, for his 
leadership of Stanmore Coal over approximately three 
years. Craig McCabe was appointed as Chief Executive 
Officer on 16 March 2020. After the reporting period, on 
31 August 2020, Mr McCabe announced his resignation 
from the Company and we wish him well in his future 
endeavours. Marcelo Matos is acting as Interim Chief 
Executive Officer until a permanent appointment 
is announced.

Stanmore Coal has reported a solid operating 
performance in a year of significant change for the 
Company and uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 
pandemic. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank 
the employees, management team and contract partners 
of Stanmore for their efforts which have supported this 
result for the business. Thank you also to shareholders 
for their continuing support for the Company.

Stanmore Coal Annual Report 2020 
 
CHIEF EXECUTIVE 
OFFICER’S REPORT

During FY20, Stanmore Coal focused 
on maintaining our track record of 
operational delivery and extending the 
alternatives of coal sources to feed our 
Isaac Plains operating infrastructure. 
We have made progress against these 
objectives in spite of the impacts of 
the COVID-19 pandemic on our major 
markets in the last quarter of the year.

The Company achieved a record for ROM (run of mine) 
coal production of 3.02Mt, driven by industry leading 
dragline performance and the commencement of the 
Company’s new CAT6060 excavator in November 2019. 
Prime overburden removal was 41.319 million bcm, a 60.4% 
increase over last year’s figure of 25.756 million bcm, and a 
record for the Isaac Plains Complex.

Product coal for the year totalled 2.39Mt which was ahead 
of guidance of 2.35Mt and matched the record for coal 
produced achieved in FY19. The product mix of semi-soft 
coking to thermal coals improved to 99:1. Semi-soft coking 
coal is a higher margin product and the Company does 
not expect that the volume of thermal coal production will 
increase as mining progresses in Isaac Plains East.

Increased waste removal costs at the mine contributed to 
a rise in operating costs. Underlying FOB (free on board) 
costs were $15.02/tonne higher than last financial year 
at $119.67/tonne. This includes state royalties averaging 
$13.83/tonne, which was 13% or $2.05/tonne lower than 
in FY19. A 14% increase in ROM strip ratio to 10.4 (FY19: 
9.1) was the major contributor to increased operating 
costs along with changes to the mix of mining equipment 
deployed to address challenging geological conditions in 
areas of the mine.

Total coal sales were negatively affected in the fourth 
quarter as COVID-19 impacted our term contract customers 
resulting in reduced demand. However, coal sales for the 
full year remained in line with FY19, totalling 2.29Mt. Coal 
prices were also affected by this slowdown in demand, 
resulting in an average achieved sale price for the full year 
of $159.5/tonne, down from $173.8/tonne in FY19.

The health and safety of everyone at our mine site is 
the first priority of our operations and critical to the success 
of our business. I am pleased to report that the resources 
and efforts committed to implementing safety discipline 
and initiatives over the past 12-18 months have led to 
significant improvements. Stanmore undertook or managed 
890,628 hours of coal mining, drilling, exploration and 
mine development activities in FY20 (FY19: 657,966 hours) 
and recorded no lost time injuries. The Total Reportable 
Injury Frequency Rate for the year was 3.4 per million 
hours, a substantial improvement from 16.7 in the previous 
financial year.

The Company progressively rehabilitates land that has 
been disturbed by our mining operations in accordance 
with its regulatory obligations. During the year, 99 hectares 
of land were recontoured and 140 hectares seeded 
for re-vegetation. Currently 19% of available land has 
been rehabilitated. A provision is made for rehabilitation 
costs, reflecting the area of land disturbed by mining 
operations which has not yet been rehabilitated. The total 
rehabilitation provision reduced by $4.8 million in the 
reporting period due to rehabilitation works completed 
at Isaac Plains.

Extending the coal sources to feed the Isaac Plains 
operating infrastructure is an important part of the 
Company’s strategy. During the year, the Company 
progressed environmental approvals for an extension 
to the current Isaac Plains East operations within 
the existing granted mining leases. The extension 
will allow existing operations to bridge any potential 
risk of production continuity relatively to the planned 
commencement of the Isaac Downs project, when 
regulatory approvals are received.

The Isaac Downs project will extend the economic life of 
the Isaac Plains Complex, and will be operated as a satellite 
open-cut mine providing ROM coal to the Company’s 
existing coal processing plant and train loading facilities. 
After the reporting period, Mineral Resources for the 
project were updated to 36.2 million1 tonnes and the JORC 
classification of Mineral Resources significantly improved 
with 24.7 million tonnes classified as a Measured Resource 
and 11.5 million tonnes as Indicated Resources.

Stanmore Coal Annual Report 2020During the year, Stanmore’s Environmental Impact 
Statement (EIS) for the project was accepted by the 
State Government and the Company is now assessing 
submissions received during public consultation. It is 
anticipated that a Supplementary EIS will be submitted 
after additional field work and investigations are completed. 
Additional drilling to increase geological confidence and 
improve understanding of coal quality commenced during 
the year and will become part of a Bankable Feasibility 
Study that will quantify the capital expenditure required 
for the project and provide updated information on its 
economic attractiveness. Infrastructure designs are also 
being developed for the major civil works elements of the 
project including a flood protection levee between the 
Isaac River and the mining operation, a haul road linking 
to Isaac Plains, and site establishment and environmental 
protection facilities. At this stage, the Company believes the 
process is on track for approvals to be granted in the first 
half of 2021 based on no material objections being raised. 

The focus on operational excellence and extending the 
economic life of the Isaac Plains Complex has underpinned 
a solid performance in a challenging year for the industry 
and our business. The combination of operational discipline 
and capital light project development has positioned 
the Company to manage through the uncertainty arising 
from the economic impacts of the global pandemic.

I would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge 
the dedication and efforts over the past year of the team of 
people who make up Stanmore Coal. I thank our employees 
and contractors for their contribution to the performance 
of the business, and my fellow directors for their strategic 
guidance. I would also like to thank our traditional owners, 
neighbours, customers and shareholders for their 
continuing support of Stanmore Coal.

The Underlying EBITDA (non-IFRS measure) of $87.470m in FY20 was a $67.425m decrease compared to Underlying 
EBITDA (non-IFRS measure) of $154.895m in FY19. The reduction in EBITDA was due to a 42.4% reduction in underlying 
margin of A$39.8/t in FY20 compared to $69.1/t in FY19. The driver behind the significant reduction in margin for the 
financial year was as a result of lower sales prices and an increase in waste removal costs. The waste removal costs have 
increased due to higher strip ratio, longer haulage distance, additional geological challenges that were experienced and 
changes in equipment mix to accommodate these changes. 

The primary drivers contributing to the NPAT result $34.893m include: 

•  Gross revenue from coal sales decreased to $364.485m in FY20 from $403.059m in FY19. The decrease was driven by 
a $14.33/t decrease in the A$ realised price to an average of A$159.47/t from $173.8/t in FY19 and a decrease in sales 
of produced coal to 2,286kt in FY20 from 2,319kt in FY19.

•  Underlying FOB costs of $119.67/t were $15.02/t higher than FY19 as a result of the above operational and geological 

issues and included $13.83/t of state royalties.

•  Depreciation and amortisation costs increased by $15.533m following the increased mining undertaken at Isaac Plains 

East mine and a change in estimates of the useful life of certain depreciable assets.

In FY20 $65.967m was invested in working capital, primarily $36.721m for overburden in advance and $12.979m in 
product coal stocks. Trade and other payables also decreased $17.610m. The investment in overburden in advance was a 
commercial decision to build inventories to assist with the anticipated transition to Isaac Downs.

In FY20 $4.896m (FY19 $4.848m) was invested in rehabilitation at the Isaac Plains Complex. Stanmore Coal integrates 
this core activity with operations to ensure timely and efficient close out of rehabilitation. 

Cashflow
In the year to 30 June 2020, a total net cash outflow of $58.221m was recorded. The net inflow from operating activities 
was $6.442m. Cash outflows from investing activities were $45.108m. Of this $26.454m related to payments for plant 
and equipment, including the acquisition of the CAT 6060 excavator and ancillary equipment and maintenance of the 
CHPP and Dragline. The final acquisition payment of $5m for Isaac Downs was also made. At the end of year, no funds 
were drawn from the working capital facility. The net outflow from financing activities includes $13.719m drawn down from 
the equipment loan to finance the CAT 6060 excavator, finance lease payments, dividends paid during the year totalling 
$24.073m and payment for financial securities that were historically secured by way of bank guarantees of $3.707m.

Health, Safety, Environment and Community Performance
The Consolidated Entity continues to be committed to the current and future performance of the business for the health, 
safety and wellbeing of our people, the environment and the communities in which we operate.

The Consolidated Entity undertook or managed 890,628 hours (FY19 657,966 hours) of coal mining, drilling, exploration, 
and mine development activities (directly and through its contractors) during the year and reported no lost time injuries 
(FY19 – 5). The Total Reportable Injury Frequency Rate for the year was 3.4 per million hours, with a Lost Time Injury 
Frequency Rate of 0 per million hours. The Consolidated Entity is encouraged by the safety performance results for 
FY20 which were supported by several safety initiatives implemented over the past 12 months. 

13

Stanmore Coal Annual Report 2020 
 
 
 
Operational summary (continued)

Rehabilitation continues to be a strong focus of the Consolidated Entity with 99ha recontoured and 140ha seeded. The 
Consolidated Entity will continue to focus on rehabilitation and has currently rehabilitated 32% of available land. Additionally, 
several improvement projects were completed during FY20 to reduce the consumption of raw water and increase the use of 
mine affected water. This has improved the overall environmental integrity across the Isaac Plains Complex. 

The Consolidated Entity supported the communities in which our operations are located with a number of grants, 
sponsorships and important community initiatives and events. Significant ‘in-kind’ time was also dedicated to regional 
industry bodies and professional groups to enhance local industry and services in the region.

Operations
The Isaac Plains Complex mined 41,319k bcm of prime overburden, which is a record for the complex and provides the 
Consolidated Entity with a strong investment in working capital moving into FY21. Mining operations delivered 3,020kt 
of ROM coal to the coal handling and processing plant (CHPP) at a prime strip ratio of 13.7x. The strip ratio is up against 
that of FY19 as the depth of the pit increases as mining progresses and overburden stocks are increased at Isaac Plains 
East. The Consolidated Entity is currently reviewing the existing mine plan and evaluating options around switching to the 
lowest cost operation given the pricing volatility as a result of COVID-19. The lowest cost mine plan would also extend the 
life of Isaac Plains East and ensure a smooth transition to Isaac Downs following the grant of the required approvals.

Product coal production was 2,390kt, with the CHPP delivering a total yield of 78.1%. The FY20 production split of semi soft 
and thermal coal was 99% semi-soft and 1% thermal. The thermal coal produced was from small faulted areas within the 
mine and is not expected to significantly increase as mining progresses at Isaac Plains East. 

The Consolidated Entity completed capital works for the CHPP and dragline during the year. There is a major dragline shutdown 
planned for August 2020. Other capital outflows included the commissioning of the new CAT 6060 excavator and associated 
infrastructure. These capital outflows contributed to the net capital outflow for the Consolidated Entity of $26.454m.

The average sale price achieved for all coal (both metallurgical and thermal) during the year was A$159.47/t, compared 
to FY19 of A$173.8/t. The reduction in price is driven by the recent impacts of COVID-19 which have reduced overall global 
demand for coking coal, whilst strengthening the Australian dollar against the United States dollar, in which our revenue 
is received. The Consolidated Entity continues to place emphasis on tethering pricing dynamics to premium hard coking 
coal indices, further distancing its brand from the Hunter Valley semi-soft products and focusing sales to customers on 
a long-term contract basis rather than being exposed to the spot market. 

The Consolidated Entity notes potential continued pricing volatility as a result of the cyclical nature of the business and 
the global impacts of COVID-19. However, it should be noted that our products traditionally have an advantage in these 
market conditions, with end users able to extend coke oven times allowing for greater utilisation of lower quality coking 
coals. Within the short term, the Consolidated Entity has seen term contract recovery from its customer base, and this is 
forecast to continue. With a large proportion of tonnage contracted into term customers, the Consolidated Entity expects 
its achieved prices to remain stable, in line with industry forecasts.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  (CONTINUED)Stanmore Coal Annual Report 2020COVID-19 Impacts
The Consolidated Entity continues to follow recommendations from Queensland Health and the Australian Government 
to provide a COVID-19 safe workplace. 

The Consolidated Entity is also aware that travel restrictions to remote indigenous communities were in place during 
the financial year ending 30 June 2020. These restrictions delayed some exploration activities to be undertaken by the 
Consolidated Entity. These restrictions continue to be in place in some communities. The Consolidated Entity remains 
committed to following the guidelines released by the Government. 

The other impact that COVID-19 has had on the Consolidated Entity is discussed further on page 14 of this report. 
This impact is not material to the Consolidated Entity. 

These impacts are not significant to the Consolidated Entity and will not negatively impact the financial statements or 
trigger any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may adversely impact the Consolidated 
Entity as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Isaac Downs Project
In July 2019, the final payment for the acquisition of Isaac Downs was made. Isaac Downs is located 10 kilometres south of 
the existing Isaac Plains operations. Isaac Downs will be operated as a satellite open cut mining operation which will utilise 
the existing Isaac Plains infrastructure with coal washing and train loading activities to be undertaken at the existing 
CHPP, ensuring a capital light approach is maintained. 

During the year, the Consolidated Entity completed an exploration drilling programme to improve the geological confidence 
and coal quality understanding of the resource. This was an important input into the feasibility studies that commenced 
to formalise the detailed assessment of Isaac Downs. Palaris Australia was the successful tenderer in December 2019 for 
the preparation of a Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) and as at 30 June 2020, the BFS was close to being finalised. The 
BFS addresses all the main study components to define the project in sufficient detail to quantify the capital expenditure 
requirement to establish the mine. 

The Consolidated Entity also commissioned a consulting contract with an experienced civil construction company after a 
competitive tender process. The Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) contract is aimed at undertaking sufficient engineering 
design to finalise a design and construction contract for the major civil works required to establish the mine. The main 
components are an underpass and bridge structure for the haul road to cross the Peak Downs highway, the construction 
of the haul road to link Isaac Downs to Isaac Plains, the construction of a flood protection levee between the Isaac River 
and the mining operation, and site establishment and environmental protection facilities.

The Mineral Resources for the Isaac Downs Project were updated as at August 2020 to 36.21 million tonnes (Mt) from 
22.9Mt at the time of acquisition from Peabody. Importantly the JORC classification of Mineral Resources has improved 
significantly such that 24.7 Mt is classified as a Measured Resource and 11.5 Mt is classified as Indicated Resources 
(no Inferred tonnes estimated). 

Isaac Downs EIS was accepted by the Queensland State Government and made available for comment during the formal 
public notification stage from 9 March to 21 April 2020. The EIS process is being undertaken under the bilateral agreement 
between the Queensland Government (Environmental Protection Act) and Commonwealth Government (EPBC Act – the 
project is a ‘controlled action’) for project assessment. Three mining lease applications were submitted to the Queensland 
Department of Natural Resources Mines and Energy (DNRME) and all the requisite third party agreements required for the 
grant of the mining leases are well advanced. At this stage, the approval process is on track for approvals to be granted in 
the first half of 2021 (based on no material objections being raised).

CAT Excavator Purchase
On 2 July 2019, the Consolidated Entity entered into a binding agreement with Hasting Deering (Australia) Limited to 
acquire a 600-tonne excavator (CAT 6060) for the Isaac Plains East mine. The CAT 6060 has joined the current operations 
at Isaac Plains East and will be supported by a trucking fleet supplied by the existing contractor, Golding (ASX: NWH). 

The purchase of the CAT 6060 was financed through an equipment loan facility with Caterpillar Financial Australia Limited, 
who are a lender associated with Hastings Deering. The term of the loan facility is 5 years. 

Following the granting of approvals for the Isaac Downs Project, it is planned that the CAT 6060 will transition to the Isaac 
Downs Project, where it will establish the initial mine operations. Operations at Isaac Plains East will continue in parallel 
during this time. 

The total investment in the CAT 6060 is $14.6m which includes additional capital to support the CAT 6060, such as 
warehouse facilities, and associated equipment expenditure. The expected life of the equipment is greater than 10 years 
and this investment is considered an integral part of the Isaac Downs Project, as well as currently supporting the Isaac 
Plains East operations in the shorter term.

On-market Takeover – Golden Energy and Resources
On 2 April 2020, Golden Investments (Australia) Pte. Ltd (Golden Investments) announced an on-market, unconditional 
takeover offer for all the remaining shares in the Consolidated Entity, at $1.00 per share. 

At the time of the announcement, Golden Investments held 31.35% (80,291,962 shares) of the issued share capital in the 
Consolidated Entity. The key features of the offer were;

• 

It was an on-market, unconditional offer of $1.00 per share in the Consolidated Entity. At the time of the announcement 
this was a 22.0% premium to the closing share price on 1 April 2020

•  The offer period opened on 17 April 2020 and ended on 18 May 2020

Following close of the offer period on 18 May 2020, Golden Investments held 75.33% of the Consolidated Entity. 
This represents 203,697,945 shares in the Consolidated Entity.

Golden Investments is a company owned by Golden Energy and Resources Limited (GEAR) and Ascend Global Investment 
Fund SPC (Ascend Global). 

GEAR is a Singapore listed energy and resources company. GEAR’s operations include mining of thermal coal through 
its subsidiary PT Golden Energy Mines Tbk operating in Indonesia, mining of metallurgical coal through Stanmore Coal 
Limited operating in Bowen Basin in Queensland and mining of gold through a 50% interest in the Ravenswood gold 
mine operating in Queensland. 

Ascend Global is an investment fund with assets under management of US$52.6 million as at 31 December 2019. Ascend 
Global is managed by Ascend Capital, a Singapore based company registered with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. 

Debt Refinance
On 18 June 2020, the Consolidated Entity was given formal notice by its current financier that the working capital and 
bank guarantee facility would be cancelled from 16 September 2020. This was following the change of control of the 
Consolidated Entity, after completion of the on-market takeover by Golden Investments. Effective from this date, no 
further drawdowns were available, and the balance drawn under the bank guarantee facility was to be repaid by the 
cancellation date. As at 30 June 2020, there were no drawdowns under the working capital facility and at the date of 
this report, all bank guarantees provided under this facility have been replaced. 

The Consolidated Entity has also signed a non-binding term sheet with its parent entity, Golden Energy and Resources 
Limited (GEAR) in respect to a new financing facility. The terms of this facility are similar to the terms provided by the 
previous financier. The Consolidated Entity is progressing this facility. 

The key terms of the proposed facility are:

•  Facility will be a US$40m facility until 30 June 2022

•  Upfront commitment fee of 2.0%

• 

• 

Interest rate on drawn funds of 8.0% per annum

Interest rate on undrawn funds 2.0% per annum

On 26 June 2020, the Consolidated Entity entered into a short-term financing agreement with its parent entity, GEAR 
to cover the period up until the US$40 million finance facility is finalised and in place. The key terms of this short-term 
facility are:

•  Facility is a A$10m facility which expires on the earlier of 31 October 2020, or when the US$40m facility agreement is 

finalised

• 

Interest rate is 8.0% per annum on drawn funds

18

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  (CONTINUED)Stanmore Coal Annual Report 2020Outlook and likely developments

Operations
•  The current plan, subject to approvals assumes mining at Isaac Plains East with the dragline until the completion of 

the Isaac Downs mine development. It is planned that the Isaac Downs development will commence in FY22, with the 
dragline moving to Isaac Downs during calendar year 2022.

•  Following the on-market takeover by Golden Investments, commercial contracts currently in place are being 

renegotiated to ensure the lowest cost structure is secured by the Consolidated Entity given current market conditions. 

•  The Consolidated Entity will continue to pursue high value coal sales opportunities to expand its customer base as well 

as continuing to meet the requirements of its existing customers.

•  Of the coal sales made during FY20 1.771Mt was sold to existing customers, with the balance sold to new customers or 
to well established coal traders. The Consolidated Entity is continuing to work on selling to new customers and markets 
in FY21 where it makes financial sense to do so. 

Exploration and development
On 21 August 2020, the Consolidated Entity issued an ASX announcement regarding the increase to the coal resources 
and reserves under the relevant Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore 
Reserves (JORC code). The total Recoverable Coal Reserves across all tenements formally declared and published are 
now 166.7Mt2, and total Marketable Coal Reserves are 130Mt3.

The Consolidated Entity will continue to monitor and assess the opportunities to develop or monetise its existing portfolio 
of assets in the Surat Basin and South Bowen Basin and explore acquisition opportunities where it makes financial and 
commercial sense to do so.

Managing Risk
The Consolidated Entity is a producing coal group operating in a volatile pricing market. Factors specific to the 
Consolidated Entity, or those which impact the market more broadly, may individually or in combination impact the 
financial and operating performance of the Consolidated Entity. These events may be beyond the control of the Board 
or management of Stanmore Coal.

The major risks associated with an investment in the Consolidated Entity are summarised below. The Consolidated Entity 
identifies and actively manages the material risks as part of its risk management governance framework and internal 
control systems. 

Operating risks
The Consolidated Entity is a single-mine producer and therefore reliant on continued performance of operations at the 
Isaac Plains Complex. There are numerous operating risks which may result in a reduction in performance that decreases 
the Consolidated Entity’s ability to produce high quality coal to meet customer shipping needs. The risks include, but are 
not limited to, factors such as weather conditions, machinery failure, critical infrastructure failure or natural disasters.

Market risks
The key drivers for the business’s financial performance are commodity price and foreign currency markets. The 
Consolidated Entity is not of a size to have influence on coal prices or the exchange rate for Australian Dollars and is 
therefore a price-taker in general terms.

The Consolidated Entity sells export coal in United States Dollars and is therefore exposed to movements in currency 
rates. The Consolidated Entity may from time to time use forward exchange contracts to hedge a portion of its short-term 
currency risk where agreed appropriate between management and the Board. The market price for Stanmore Coal’s 
coking coal and thermal coal products is impacted by many factors which could be favourable or unfavourable for the 
Consolidated Entity.

Stanmore Coal Annual Report 2020Outlook and likely developments (continued)

Geological risk
Resource and Reserve estimates are prepared by external experts in accordance with the JORC Code 2012 or JORC 
Code 2004 (as applicable) for reporting. The estimates are inherently subjective in some respects therefore there is a risk 
that the interpretation of data may not align with the future experienced conditions in the field. Due care is taken with 
each estimation.

Regulatory and land access risk
The Consolidated Entity’s operations and projects are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations regarding mining, 
environmental protection, land access and native title. These laws and regulations regulate the conduct of mining 
operations, set requirements in relation to landholder compensation, environmental protection and certain aspects of 
health, and provide for penalties and other consequences for the breach of such laws.

There is also an obligation to rehabilitate areas impacted by mining activities, including the Consolidated Entity providing 
financial assurances in respect of the likely costs and expenses that may be incurred when taking action to rehabilitate 
areas impacted by mining activities. The Mineral and Energy Resources (Financial Provisioning) Act 2018 has changed 
the method by which such financial assurance is calculated but the cost of this change to the Consolidated Entity has 
not been material. 

In order to undertake exploration and production activities, it is first necessary to apply for and obtain necessary government 
permits, leases and approvals that authorise such activities. To secure such exploration and mining approvals, or to 
undertake activities within the area of a granted mining tenement, native title, land access and overlapping tenure 
are matters that need to be addressed.

The Consolidated Entity seeks to develop strong, long-term effective relationships with landholders and other 
stakeholders, with a focus on developing mutually acceptable compensation and access arrangements. The 
Consolidated Entity seeks to minimise these risks by conducting its activities in an environmentally responsible manner, 
in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. In addition, the Consolidated Entity engages experienced lawyers, 
consultants and other technical advisors to provide expert advice where necessary to ensure it manages its compliance 
obligations appropriately.

Climate Change risk
The Consolidated Entity acknowledges climate change. The Consolidated Entity seeks to be proactive and investigate 
opportunities for benefits commensurate with the size of the Consolidated Entity to be delivered.

The Consolidated Entity includes business and operational risks associated with changes caused by global warming as 
part of its business planning cycle. 

The operations of the Consolidated Entity are focused on the production of coal for steel making. There remains no 
viable alternative to metallurgical coal for steel making. The Consolidated Entity puts significant focus on minimising its 
environmental footprint and is continually exceeding its obligations in terms of rehabilitation. 

The Consolidated Entity supports Australia’s commitments under the Paris Agreement to work towards a global 
agreement to limit global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the 
temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The Consolidated Entity abides by any legislative requirements 
imposed, but also continues to improve greenhouse gas efficiency as part of our operations.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  (CONTINUED)Stanmore Coal Annual Report 2020Indigenous Engagement
As part of the Isaac Downs approval process it was recognised that increased collaboration was required with the 
traditional owners of the land on which the Consolidated Entity operates.

Through a process of facilitation and recognition of the need for reconciliation, the Consolidated Entity is dedicated to 
developing a working and collaborative relationship with the Barada Barna people, who are the traditional owners of the 
land that the Consolidated Entity operates. The Consolidated Entity has committed to developing a Reconciliation Action 
Plan working committee. This process will not only strengthen ties with the Barada Barna people but pave the way for true 
reconciliation within the broader meaning.

The Consolidated Entity and the Barada Barna people have developed a Native Title Consent Agreement and reviewed 
a Cultural Heritage Management Plan. Further, the Consolidated Entity aims to facilitate and implement a Reconciliation 
Action Plan process that develops long-term strategies including increasing Indigenous employment and business 
opportunities which will enable the Barada Barna people to become more involved in the Consolidated Entity and 
encourage a strong working relationship between both parties. 

Safety
Safety remains of critical importance in the planning, organisation and execution of the Consolidated Entity’s exploration 
and operational activities. The Consolidated Entity is committed to providing and maintaining a working environment in 
which its employees are not exposed to hazards that will jeopardise an employee’s health and safety, or the health and 
safety of others associated with our business.

Sovereign risk 
The Consolidated Entity has limited influence over the direction and development of government policy. Successive 
changes to the Australian resources policy, including taxation policy, have impacted Australia’s global competitiveness 
and reduced the attractiveness of Australian coal projects to foreign investors. The Consolidated Entity’s view is coking 
coal is critical for future steel production and thermal coal will continue to play a key role in the global energy mix as part 
of sustaining global growth, particularly in developing regions, through efficient electricity generation.

Access to capital
At 30 June 2020, the Consolidated Entity remains well funded with cash reserves and a at call working capital facility 
expected to be sufficient to meet the business’s operating costs. The Consolidated Entity’s ability to effectively continue 
as a coal producing business may be dependent upon several factors including the success of the mine operations, or 
the successful exploration and subsequent development of the Consolidated Entity’s tenements. Should these avenues 
be delayed or fail to materialise, the Consolidated Entity may need to raise additional funding through debt, equity or 
farm out/sell down to allow the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they 
fall due.

There is no guarantee that additional funding through debt will be available, or if it is, there is no guarantee that such 
new funding will be on terms acceptable to the Consolidated Entity. Global credit markets have been severely constrained 
in the past, and the ability to obtain new funding or refinance may in the future be significantly reduced. Increasingly, 
financial institutions have made public statements in relation to their unwillingness to finance certain types of coal mines 
and coal-fired power stations. 

Following the on-market takeover by Golden Investments, the Consolidated Entity has been able to access funding 
through GEAR. See details of the debt refinance on page 18 of this report. At the time of this report GEAR has a credit 
rating of B1 by rating agency Moody’s and B+ by rating agency Fitch. This has reduced the risk that the Consolidated Entity 
may not have access to capital. Any present risk is still being actively monitored by the Consolidated Entity. 

If the Consolidated Entity is unable to obtain sufficient funding, either due to banking and capital market conditions 
generally, or due to factors specific to the coal sector, the Consolidated Entity may not have sufficient cash to meet 
its ongoing capital requirements or the ability to expand its business.

There is a risk that the policies of financial institutions with respect to the funding of coal projects may, in the future, 
extend to an unwillingness to provide insurance products to coal producers and associated companies on terms that 
are currently being provided to such companies. This could result in a material increase in the cost to Stanmore Coal 
of obtaining appropriate levels of insurance.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  (CONTINUED)Stanmore Coal Annual Report 2020Remuneration policy overview

The Consolidated Entity’s business strategy of managing an operating coal business can only be achieved by identifying 
and retaining high calibre employees with appropriate experience and capability. Developing an appropriate compensation 
strategy for the Consolidated Entity’s employees is a key factor in ensuring employees are engaged and motivated to 
improve the Consolidated Entity’s performance over the long term. The Board’s intention is to maximise stakeholder 
benefit by the retention of a high-quality Board and executive team without creating an undue cost burden for the 
Consolidated Entity.

The Board regularly reviews the appropriateness of employees’ fixed compensation considering the Consolidated Entity’s 
cost structure and the practices of its peers. 

The following describes the Consolidated Entity’s remuneration arrangements for KMP. 

Fixed remuneration

Chief Executive Officer and senior management remuneration
The Consolidated Entity aims to reward the Chief Executive Officer and senior management with a base level of 
remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and competitive in the market. Fixed remuneration is reviewed 
annually by the Remuneration and Nominations Committee and the Board. The Chief Executive Officer reviews all senior 
management performance and remuneration and then makes recommendations to the Remuneration and Nominations 
Committee. The Remuneration and Nominations Committee reviews the performance and remuneration of the 
management team.

The process consists of a review of Company and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration both in the 
market and internally, and where appropriate, external advice on policies and remuneration practices.

Non-Executive Director fixed remuneration
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Consolidated Entity with the ability to attract 
and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

The Constitution of Stanmore Coal Limited and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the Non-Executive Directors are entitled 
to remuneration as determined by the Company in a general meeting to be apportioned among them in such manner as 
the Directors agree and, in default of agreement, equally. The maximum aggregate remuneration currently determined by 
Stanmore Coal Limited shareholders is $750,000 (FY19: $500,000) per annum.

The Non-Executive Director’s fee is $50,000 per annum (FY19 $65,000). Committee fees are also paid to the Chairman of 
the committee of $10,000 per annum and membership of the committee of $5,000 per annum. The maximum aggregate 
of the fees paid is within the shareholder annual agreed limit. 

Total Non-Executive Director remuneration for FY20 was $512,242 (FY19 $439,232) including additional remuneration of 
$111,127 in aggregate for additional work undertaken as result of and in connection with the takeover offer.

A Non-Executive Director is entitled to be paid travel and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending Directors’ 
or general meetings of Stanmore Coal Limited or otherwise relating to the business of the Consolidated Entity.

The fixed remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the year ending 30 June 2020 is detailed in this 
Remuneration Report.

Short-term and long-term incentive plan structures
The Board considers that the use of Short-Term Incentives (STI) and Long-Term Incentives (LTI) are a reasonable means 
of remunerating Senior Management, on the basis that they:

•  encourage Senior Management to drive toward the realisation of shareholder value

•  provide flexibility to the Company to actively manage the way in which it remunerates and incentivises 

Senior Management

•  preserve the Company’s cash resources

•  contribute to the attraction and retention of skilled talent in a competitive market. 

23

Stanmore Coal Annual Report 2020Fixed remuneration (continued)

STI and LTI’s were provided in FY20 for KMP. The STI rewards KMP based on key performance outcomes associated 
with mining at the Isaac Plains Complex except for the General Manager Development whose KPIs align to key business 
development activities which are more aligned to the role. The STI thresholds are set between 0% representing the 
minimum STI performance and 52% of base salary, representing the Stretch performance that can be achieved. The 
award structure is based on a mix of financial and non-financial performance conditions aligned to the Consolidated 
Entity’s strategy. 

The LTI plan contains links to the Stanmore Coal Absolute Shareholder returns with Performance Rights issued with a 
three-year measurement period for KMP that qualify under the LTI plan rules. The LTI Rights eligible for vesting are set 
between 0% (threshold) and 100% (Stretch).

The change of control provisions within both the STI and LTI plans were triggered when Golden Investments reached a 
holding of 51% on 2 April 2020 following the announcement of the on-market takeover. As a result, on 17 April 2020 the 
STI was partially paid out to eligible employees on a pro-rata basis up to the date at which the change of control occurred. 
The balance of the STI was paid to eligible employees in August 2020.

For the LTI plan, the Board exercised its discretion in relation to the Rights currently on issue at the time the change of 
control occurred and made the following decisions;

(a)  to vest 100% of the Rights granted in FY18 under the Plan Rules;

(b)  in the case of the Rights granted in FY19 under the Plan Rules;

  (i)  to vest 50% of the Rights granted

  (ii)   to allow the balance (50%) of the Rights granted not to lapse and instead to survive the change of control and vest 

if the relevant vesting criteria for those Rights are satisfied in accordance with the terms of the initial grant.

(c)  in the case of the Rights granted in FY20 under the Plan Rules

  (i)  to vest 50% of the Rights granted

  (ii)  to allow 25% of the Rights granted to lapse immediately

  (iii)  to allow the balance (25%) of the Rights granted not to lapse and instead to survive the change of control and vest 

if the relevant vesting criteria for those Rights are satisfied in accordance with the terms of the initial grant. 

Following the change of control, the Board is reviewing the current STI and LTI plans currently on foot to ensure they align 
to the Consolidated Entity’s strategy.

FY20 LTI

LTI is based on the Absolute Shareholder Total 
Return (ASTR) with price targets resulting in the 
LTI benefits potentially vesting two financial years 
after the relevant remuneration year.

Rights are issued annually with measurement 
periods of three years, total Rights issued are 
based on the performance target tested at the end 
of three years i.e. FY22. In the event that no rights 
become eligible to vest at the end of three years, 
the Rights may be retested for vesting after four 
years (FY23) subject to the escalated performance 
target. Further details regarding the LTI plan are 
shown below. 

During FY20, Rights were granted to KMP as 
outlined below to: Ian Poole, Bernie O’Neill, 
Jon Romcke and Brendan Schilling.

Following the change of control triggered by the 
on-market takeover by Golden Investments on 
2 April 2020, the Board exercised its discretion 
and vested 50% of the Rights issued. 25% of the 
Rights that did not vest, are subject to the existing 
vesting conditions and the remaining 25% of 
Rights lapsed. The Rights that vested were paid 
in Shares.

During FY19, Rights were granted to KMP as 
outlined below to: Dan Clifford, Ian Poole, Bernie 
O’Neill and Jon Romcke.

Following the change of control triggered by the 
on-market takeover by Golden Investments on 
2 April 2020, the Board exercised its discretion 
and vested 50% of the Rights issued. The balance 
of the Rights that did not vest, are subject to the 
existing vesting conditions. The Rights that vested 
were paid in Shares.

During FY18, Rights were granted to KMP as 
outlined below to: Dan Clifford, Ian Poole, Bernie 
O’Neill and Jon Romcke.

Following the change of control triggered by the 
on-market takeover by Golden Investments on 
2 April 2020, the Board exercised its discretion 
and vested 100% of the Rights. The Rights that 
vested were paid in Shares.

As a result of the Board exercising its discretion in relation to the Rights outstanding on 1 April 2020, the day immediately 
before the change of control, a modification under AASB 2 Share Based Payments was triggered. This modification 
required the Rights that vested as a result of the change in control to be revalued immediately before the change of 
control and any value increase between the revalued amount and the share price on the day of modification be recognised 
in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. 

The performance conditions attached to the Rights were unchanged. The performance conditions for the Rights are 
referenced on page 27 – 28 of this report. 

This modification had the following impact to the Statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income.

under the LTI plans.

General incentive and remuneration consultants 
From time to time, the Remuneration and Nominations Committee seeks and considers advice from external advisors who 
are engaged by and report directly to the Remuneration and Nominations Committee. Such advice will typically cover Non-
Executive Director fees, Executive KMP remuneration and advice in relation to equity plans.

The Corporations Act requires companies to disclose specific details regarding the use of remuneration consultants. The 
mandatory disclosure requirements only apply to those advisers that provide a ‘remuneration recommendation’ as defined 
in the Corporations Act.

During FY20 the Remuneration and Nominations Committee received recommendations from Godfreys. These 
recommendations were received free from undue influence from any affected KMP, and the Directors ensured this 
by engaging the consultant independent of any affected KMP. In addition, the recommendation and outcomes were 
not discussed or influenced by any KMP’s with the remuneration consultant. The cost of services associated with the 
recommendation made by the remuneration consultant totalled $16,000 (FY19 $9,100).

It is the Board’s policy that employment contracts or consultancy agreements are entered into with all Non-Executive 
Directors and senior management.

Contracts do not provide for pre-determining compensation values or method of payment. Rather portions of 
compensation are discretionary STI and LTI plan awards that are determined by the Remuneration and Nominations 
Committee and the Board in accordance with the Company’s remuneration policies.

All other employment contracts or consultancy agreements have either six or three-month (or lower) notice periods. 
No current employment contracts contain early termination clauses. All Non-Executive Directors have received letters 
outlining the key terms of their appointment. The contracts have no specified duration.

About this report 

The financial statements of Stanmore Coal Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020 covers the Consolidated

Corporations Act 2001. 

The financial statements are presented in the Australian currency. 

Stanmore Coal Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia, whose shares are 
publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. 

The principal activities of the Consolidated Entity were the exploration, development, production and sale of 
metallurgical and thermal coal in Queensland, Australia.

• 

is presented in Australian dollars with all values rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($‘000) unless 
otherwise stated, in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial / Director’s Report) Instrument 
2016/191; 

•  adopts all new and amended Accounting Standards, IFRS and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are 

relevant to the operations of the Consolidated Entity and effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 
July 2019. Refer to Note 32 for further details; and 

•  does not early adopt any Australian Accounting Standards, IFRS and Interpretations that have been issued or 

amended but are not yet effective, except for those described in Note 32: Other Accounting Policies. 

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for Vendor Royalties – Contingent 
Consideration which has been measured at fair value. The entity is a for-profit entity for the purposes of Australian 
Accounting Standards.

Notes to the financial statements (Cont.) 

Going concern 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of 
normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the ordinary course of 
business. 

Debt Facility 

On 18 June 2020, the Consolidated Entity was given formal notice by its current financier that the working capital 
and bank guarantee facility would be cancelled from 16 September 2020. This was following the change of control 
of the Consolidated Entity, after completion of the on-market takeover by Golden Investments. Effective from this 
date, no further drawdowns were available, and the balance drawn under the bank guarantee facility was to be 
repaid by the cancellation date. As at 30 June, there were no drawdowns under the working capital facility and the 
bank guarantees provided by the Consolidated Entity’s financier were in the process of being replaced with cash 
security.  

On 26 June 2020, the Consolidated Entity entered into a short-term financing agreement with its parent entity, 
GEAR to cover the period up until the US$40 million finance facility is finalised and in place. The key terms of this 
short-term facility are: 

• 

• 

Facility is a A$10m facility which expires on the earlier of 31 October 2020, or when the US$40m facility is 
finalised 

Interest rate is 8.0% per annum on drawn funds 

As at 30 June 2020 there have been no draw downs under this facility, but this facility is available if required by 
the Consolidated Entity.  

COVID-19 

These impacts are not significant to the Consolidated Entity and will not negatively impact the financial statements 
or trigger any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may adversely impact the 
Consolidated Entity as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID -19) pandemic. 

There is no impact on the going concern of the Consolidated Entity as a result of the above.  

Basis of consolidation 

Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Company has control. The 
Consolidated Entity controls an entity when the Consolidated Entity is exposed, or has the rights, to variable 
returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct 
the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the 
Consolidated Entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. 

All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intragroup transactions have 
been eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment 
of the asset transferred. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the 
parent, using consistent accounting policies. 

Non-controlling interests in the results and consolidated equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the 
consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial Position 
respectively. Total comprehensive income is attributable to owners of Stanmore Coal Limited and non-controlling 
interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a debit balance. 

Other accounting policies 

Significant and other accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis used and are relevant to an 
understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout the notes to the financial statements.

Foreign currency translation 

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rate 
ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are 
retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Foreign exchange differences arising on 
translation are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of 
historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. 

The notes to the financial statements 

The notes include information which is required to understand the financial statements and is material and 
relevant to the operations, financial position and performance of the Consolidated Entity. Information is considered 
relevant and material if for example: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the amount in question is significant because of its size or nature; 

it is important for understanding the results of the Consolidated Entity; 

it helps to explain the impact of significant changes in the Consolidated Entity’s business for example, 
acquisitions and impairment write-downs; or  

it is related to an aspect of the Consolidated Entity’s operations that is important to its future performance. 

New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Consolidated Entity 

The accounting standards adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are consistent with 
those of the previous financial year. The Consolidated Entity has adopted IFRC23 Uncertainty over Income Tax 
Treatments with no impact on the Financial Statements. The Consolidated Entity has adopted AASB 16 Leases 
effective from 1 July 2019 using the modified retrospective method, where comparative amounts for the year prior 
to first adoption have not been restated.  

AASB 16 supersedes AASB 117 and its associated interpretative guidance and provides a new lessee to recognise 
assets and liabilities for all leases with a term more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. 
Under AASB 16, a lessee recognises at the commencement date of the lease, the present value of non-cancellable 
lease payments as a lease liability on the statement of financial position, with a corresponding right-of-use asset. 
The unwind of the financial charge on the lease liability and the amortisation of the leased asset are recognised in 
the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income based on the implied interest rate and contract 
term.  

The operating lease commitments as at 30 June 2019 were $0.158 million. The Consolidated Entity did not 
recognise the right-of-use asset and lease liability as the amount was not considered material, and the 
Consolidated Entity was in the process of negotiating a new office lease. The new lease entered into has been 
recognised in accordance with AASB 16.

NOTE 1 

REVENUE AND OTHER INCOME (CONT.) 

Contracts with customers – coal sales 

General recognition 

Revenue from the sale of coal is recognised in the profit or loss when control of the coal has been transferred from 
the Consolidated Entity to the customer. Typically, the transfer of control and the recognition of a sale occurs 
when the coal passes the ship rail when loading at the port, unless the sale is made on stockpile at which point the 
transfer of control will occur when the sales agreement is exercised.  All coal is shipped through the Dalrymple Bay 
Coal Terminal and most coal sold during the financial year ending 30 June 2020 was on a contracted ‘free on 
board’ basis. 

As is customary with ‘free on board’ contracts, parameters such as coal quality and mass are tested using 
independent experts and weightometers as the vessel is being loaded. The bill of lading is only issued upon 
verification and confirmation from several parties involved with the logistic and handling process. Once confirmed, 
the measured parameters form the basis for calculation of final price on the commercial invoice. All customer 
contracts specify a known price and tolerance range for quality parameters prior to the Consolidated Entity 
committing to the supply of coal to the customer. 

Payment terms for coal customers range from letter of credit basis to up to 45 days, with the majority being settled 
in 20 days or less from issuance of the commercial invoice. There were no breaches of payment terms noted during 
the financial year and contracts recognised as fulfilled and therefore receivable at 30 June 2020 have 
subsequently been receipted without issue. 

Semi Soft Quarterly Index Linked Price Contracts recognition 

Semi Soft Sales contracts with Stanmore Coal customers generally contain quarterly pricing provisions as is 
customary in the semi soft coal markets. Sales contracts with regular customers are linked to the Hunter Valley 
Semi Soft coking coal index with index adjustments based on the term agreements/relationship, Isaac Plains Semi 
Soft variations to the index benchmark, or other contractual reasons. 

When the quarterly benchmark prices have not been settled sales invoices are issued and paid based on the 
provisional prices from the prior quarters agreed index price. These provisional prices are then adjusted when the 
final quarterly benchmark prices are settled. 

Where sales volumes have not been fulfilled within the scope of the contract for the previous quarters, the coal 
sales are at the prior quarters price. At the end of the annual contract period full year carry over tonnes are 
discussed between the parties and the supply of tonnes can be cancelled or carried over to the next annual 
contract. 

Key Judgements 

Due to the volatility in the Hunter Valley Semi Soft coal price index, management review the index price at the end 
of the quarter. Coal sales are then adjusted, based on the final index price, which has been agreed with customers. 
If the price has not yet been signed off on all contracts, management will make judgements on the risks associated 
with the customer and adjust the provisional price based on the contract. This risk weighted price would then be 
used rather than the quarterly index price which has not yet been agreed with the customer. 

Thermal Coal Contract sales 

Thermal coal sales are not customarily index linked and are settled based on contract prices as agreed and 
adjusted by the contract terms. Generally, price and adjustments are finalised and final invoiced within a short 
period of time after the coal is ‘free on board’.  

Key Judgements 

Where prices are not finalised at the end of a period due to the timing of contractual adjustments, management will 
make  assessments  on  the  adjustments  and  provide  for  the  expected  impact  of  the  contract  adjustments.  Price 
adjustments are minimal in comparison to the total invoice and are generally not material in nature.

Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave 

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave, long service leave and 
accumulating sick leave expected to be wholly settled within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are 
recognised in respect of employees’ services rendered up to the end of the reporting period. They are measured at 
amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are 
recognised when leave is taken and measured at the actual rates paid or payable. 

Leases 

The leases recognised in Other Expenses relate to short term lease obligations where the entity has adopted the 
recognition exemption. Lease payments for short term leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis 
over the term of the lease, net of any incentives.

• 

• 

the Consolidated Entity derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable 
the losses to be realised; 

the Consolidated Entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law 

no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Consolidated Entity in realising the losses. 

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 

The income tax expense for the year is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income based on the national 
income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences 
between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused 
tax losses. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply 
when the assets are recovered, or liabilities settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively 
enacted for each jurisdiction. Exceptions are made for certain temporary differences arising on initial recognition of 
an asset or a liability if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the 
transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit.

NOTE 3 

INCOME TAX EXPENSE (CONT.) 

Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses if it is probable 
that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and 
tax bases of investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures where the parent entity is able 
to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not 
reverse in the foreseeable future. 

Current and deferred tax balances relating to amounts recognised directly in other comprehensive income and 
equity are also recognised directly in other comprehensive income and equity, respectively.

Stanmore Coal Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries have formed a tax consolidated group and are taxed as a 
single entity. Stanmore Coal Limited is the head entity of the tax consolidated group. The stand-alone 
taxpayer/separate taxpayer within a group approach has been used to allocate current income tax expense and 
deferred tax expense to wholly owned subsidiaries that form part of the tax consolidated group. Stanmore Coal 
Limited has assumed all the current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses for the 
tax consolidated group via intercompany receivables and payables as a tax funding arrangement is in place.

Trade and other receivables are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent 
solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial 
assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on 
derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses), together with foreign 
exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the Statement of Profit or 
Loss and Comprehensive Income. 

Impairment 

The Consolidated Entity assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss associated with its debt 
instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there 
has been a significant increase in credit risk.  

For trade receivables the group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected 
lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. Management has determined that 
assessment of expected credit loss associated with trade receivables is immaterial.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimate selling 
price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimate costs of completion and selling expenses. 

The cost of coal inventories is determined using a direct costing basis. Costs include blasting, overburden removal, 
coal mining, processing, labour, transport and other costs which are directly related to mining activities at site. 

Inventories are classified as follows: 

•  Overburden in advance material extracted through the pre-strip mining process and includes blasting 

• 

• 

activities. 
run of mine material extracted through the mining process and awaiting processing at the coal handling 
and preparation plant. 
product coal which has been processed into final saleable form. Product coal may be held at the site or at 
port shared stockpile facilities awaiting delivery to customers. 

INTERPRETATION 20 – STRIPPING COSTS IN THE PRODUCTION PHASE OF A SURFACE MINE 

Interpretation 20, effective 1 January 2013 allows overburden in advance to be capitalised separately as Inventory 
under AASB 102 to the extent the benefit from the stripping activity is realised in Inventory. This means that coal 
mining and stripping no longer maintain a timing nexus. As a result of this the stripping process, costs of 
overburden removal will be capitalised separately as Inventory under AASB 102 as directed under Interpretation 20.

Property, plant and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. 
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Consolidated Entity includes the cost of materials, direct labour, 
borrowing costs and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable costs. 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, only when it is 
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the cost 
of the item can be measured reliably.

NOTE 8 

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONT.) 

Depreciation 

The carrying amount of all non-mining property fixed assets, except land is depreciated over their useful 
life from the time the asset is held ready for use. Mining property fixed assets are depreciated on a units of 
production basis over the life of the economically recoverable resources. The base for the units of 
production is drawn from the assets principal use. Items that are specific to open cut operations are 
depreciated over the run of mine open cut coal reserves. Surface infrastructure that is not specific to a 
mining method such as the wash plant and loadout facilities utilise the Economically Recoverable 
Resources of the Isaac Plains Complex, which includes an estimate of recoverable underground coal 
reserves. 

The depreciation rates used for each class of assets are: 

Class of fixed asset 

Plant and equipment 

Furniture and office equipment 

Buildings and improvements 

Right-of-use asset 

Depreciation rate 

5-25% straight line/units of production 

5-25% straight line 

5-10% straight line 

18% straight line 

Property, plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less 
accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of property, 
plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written 
down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised. A formal 
assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present. The carrying amount 
of property, 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 are discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. 

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 recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. 

Right-of-use asset 

At the inception of a contract, the Consolidated Entity assesses whether a contract contains a lease based 
on whether the contract conveys the right to use or control the use of an identified asset for a period of 
time in exchange for consideration. 

At the commencement date of the lease, the Consolidated Entity recognises a lease liability and a 
corresponding right-of-use asset. The lease liability is initially recognised at present value of the non-
cancellable lease payments, which are discounted using the interest rate determined using the 
Consolidated Entities incremental borrowing rate. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost which 
includes any direct costs. 

The right-of-use asset is depreciated to the earlier of the useful life of the asset or the lease term using the 
straight line method and is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Comprehensive Income in 
Depreciation and Amortisation. 

The unwind of the financial charge on the lease liability is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and 
Comprehensive Income in financial expenses based on the Consolidated Entity’s incremental borrowing 
rate.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 

Capitalised Development expenditure includes costs transferred from Exploration and Evaluation when the 
Consolidated Entity can demonstrate: 

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale. 

its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset. 

• 
• 
•  how the asset will generate future economic benefits. 
the availability of resources to complete the asset. 
• 
• 

the ability to measure reliability the expenditure during development. 

Following recognition, the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Once the 
development phase is complete and production begin, the costs are transferred from Capitalised 
Development Costs to Mine Properties where they are amortised over the life of the development project. 

Key judgements – capitalisation and impairment assessment of development costs 

Initial capitalisation of costs is based on management’s judgement that technical and economic feasibility is 
confirmed.  In  determining  the  amounts  to  be  capitalised,  management  makes  assumptions  regarding  the 
expected  future  cash  generating  potential  of  the  Project,  discount  rates  to  be  applied  and  the  expected 
period  of  which  cash  flows  are  expected  to  be  received.  As  at  30  June  2020,  the  carrying  amount  of 
capitalised developments costs was $0.314 million (2019: $0). This balance relates to the Isaac Plains East 
extension  which  a  mining  extension  from  the  Isaac  Plains  East  pit.  The  Isaac  Plains  East  extension  is still 
awaiting final approvals from the State Government and will be transferred to Mine Properties once approvals 
are granted and mining commences.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 

Mining property assets include costs transferred from Capitalised Development following the start of 
production. Following transfer from Capitalised Development all development subsequent development 
costs are capitalised to the extent that commercial viability conditions continue to be satisfied. 

The costs associated with mine properties are amortised based on a units of production method. 

Key judgements – capitalisation and impairment assessment of mine properties 

The Consolidated Entity assesses at the end of each period whether there are any impairment indicators in 
relation to Mine Property assets.  

As a result of this impairment assessment, no impairment indicators were noted.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is capitalised on an area of interest basis. Such 
expenditures comprise net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure. These 
costs are carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful 
development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits 
reasonable assessment of the existence of Economically Recoverable Resources and active or significant 
operations in relation to the area are continuing. 

A regular review is undertaken on each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to 
carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area 
are written off against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. Where an 
uncertainty exists for further exploration of the area, a provision is raised for the costs of exploration. 

When the technical feasibility and commercial viability is demonstrated, the accumulated costs for the 
relevant area of interest are transferred to capitalised development costs. 

Key judgements – exploration and evaluation assets 

The Consolidated Entity performs impairment testing on specific exploration assets as required in AASB 6 
para 20.  During FY20 no impairment indicator was noted.  The total impairment on these exploration and 
evaluation assets is now $12.1million.  No specific event has occurred relating to other exploration and 
evaluation assets recognised on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  At the end of the 
reporting year the balance of Exploration and Evaluation Assets is $80.9 million (2019: $75.4 million). 
The main increase in this balance relates to Isaac Downs, including the acquisition cost.

At the end of each reporting year the Consolidated Entity assesses whether there is any indication that 
individual assets are impaired. Where impairment indicators exist, recoverable amount is determined, and 
impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss where the asset’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable 
amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the 
purpose of assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value 
using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the 
risks specific to the asset. Where it is not possible to estimate recoverable amount for an individual asset, 
the Consolidated Entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset 
belongs. 

Intangible assets 

The intangible asset relates to future rebates on the cost of coal railings based on an agreement with the 
below rail infrastructure owner. Receipts of coal railing rebates are recognised in profit or loss as a credit 
against the cost incurred. The estimated useful life of the asset is aligned with the term of the contractual 
agreement and is amortised on a straight-line basis over the life in accordance with the anticipated profile 
of benefits received.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 

Interest bearing liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of any transaction costs incurred. They are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

The Consolidated Entity pays a 2% pa facility fee for all undrawn funds in both the working capital and bank 
guarantee facilities, once utilised the funds attract an 8% fixed interest rate. The current working capital 
facility is denominated in US$ and therefore when drawn exposes the group to US$ fluctuations these 
fluctuations are accounted for as outlined in Note 21. 

On 2 July 2019, the Consolidated Entity entered into a binding agreement with Hasting Deering (Australia) 
Limited to acquire a 600-tonne excavator (CAT 6060) for the Isaac Plains East mine. The CAT 6060 will join 
the current operations at Isaac Plains East and will be supported by a trucking fleet supplied by the existing 
contractor, Golding (ASX: NWH). The purchase of the CAT 6060 was financed through an equipment loan 
facility with Caterpillar Financial Australia Limited, who are a lender associated with Hasting Deering. The 
term of the loan facility is 5 years.

INTEREST BEARING LOANS AND BORROWINGS (CONT.) 

The Consolidated Entity pays 4.46% pa fixed interest rate on the Chattel Mortgage facility to Caterpillar 
Financial Australia Limited. The Chattel Mortgage facility is denominated in A$. 

On 18 June 2020, the Consolidated Entity was given formal notice by its current financier that the working 
capital and bank guarantee facility would be cancelled from 16 September 2020. This was following the 
change of control of the Consolidated Entity, after completion of the on-market takeover by Golden 
Investments. Effective from 18 June 2020, no further drawdowns were available, and the balance drawn 
under the bank guarantee facility was to be repaid by the cancellation date. As at 30 June 2020, there were 
no drawdowns under the working capital facility and the bank guarantees provided by the Consolidated 
Entity’s financier were in the process of being replaced. 

On 26 June 2020, the Consolidated Entity entered into a short-term Financing Agreement with its parent 
entity, GEAR. The key terms of this short-term facility are: 

• 

• 

Facility is an A$10m facility which expires on the earlier of 31 October 2020, or when the US$40m 
facility is finalised 

Interest rate is 8.0% per annum on drawn funds 

As at 30 June 2020, there were no draw downs under this facility.

The provision for onerous contracts relates to the transaction to acquire the Isaac Plains Coal Mine which 
completed in November 2015. The Consolidated Entity acquired various long-term contracts necessary for 
mining activities at Isaac Plains including rail haulage, port allocations, water supply, electricity supply and 
accommodation. Based on the initial Isaac Plains mine plan, a portion of these contracts were estimated to 
be underutilised and the fixed charges incurred above the deemed requirement was recognised as an 
onerous contract liability. The fair value of onerous contracts at acquisition was estimated by calculating 
the present value of expected future cash outflows for the onerous portion of each contract, discounted at 
a rate reflecting the risk profile of each contract. Excluding the assessed onerous portion of the contracts 
already recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position, the minimum payments required 
under the identified contracts is approximately $9.2 million (undiscounted) (2019: $27.7 million 
(undiscounted)). These payments are expected to be met as part of normal operational expenditure at Isaac 
Plains complex in the coming years.  

In the period from acquisition through to 30 June 2020, a number of onerous contracts have been settled 
through the ordinary course of business. The onerous provision at 30 June 2020 has been re-measured for 
all contracts having regard to the latest Economically Recoverable Resources of the Isaac Plains Complex 
which includes an estimate of recoverable underground and Isaac Downs reserves. During the year, a 
contract was entered into with a third party to supply them with some water from our existing long-term 
contract. This allocation has been included in the calculation of the onerous contract to reduce total 
onerous contract obligation. 

Key estimates – Onerous Contracts 

The Consolidated Entity assesses onerous contracts at each reporting date by evaluating conditions 
specific to each contract and the then current business plan. Where a contract provides capacity above 
that required to meet the business plan or for a longer period than the current extent of the business plan, 
the contract is deemed onerous and the onerous portion of the contract is recognised as a liability using an 
estimate of future onerous cash flows discounted to a net present value. Any re-measurement of the 
assessed level of onerous contracts is taken through profit or loss in the period in which the assessment is 
made. During the FY20 year a total of $0.866 million of onerous contracts were settled through payment, 
with the unwinding of the discount being $0.313 million and $0.150 million taken through consolidated 
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for re-measurement.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 

The provision for rehabilitation closure costs relates to areas disturbed during operation of the mine up to 
reporting date and not yet rehabilitated. Provision has been made to rehabilitate all areas of disturbance 
including surface infrastructure, contouring, topsoiling and revegetation, using internal and external expert 
assessment of each aspect to calculate an anticipated cash outflow discounted to a net present value. At 
each reporting date, the rehabilitation liability is re-measured in line with the then-current level of 
disturbances, cost estimates and other key inputs. The amount of provision relating to rehabilitation of 
areas caused by mining disturbance is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. 

Key estimates – rehabilitation provision 

The  Consolidated  Entity  assesses  rehabilitation  liabilities  at  each  reporting  date  as  there  are  numerous 
factors that may affect the  ultimate liability payable.  This includes the extent and nature of rehabilitation 
activity to be undertaken, changes in technology and techniques, changes in discount rates and regulatory 
impacts. There may be differences between the future actual expenditure and the assessment made at the 
balance date. The provisions at balance date represent management’s best estimate of the present value of 
rehabilitation cost to completely rehabilitate the site. 

In  FY20  a  decrease  in  the  rehabilitation  provision  of  $4.8  million  was  recognised  due  to  the  rehabilitation 
works  completed  at  Isaac  Plains.  In  addition,  a  rehabilitation  liability  was  recognised  with  regard  to 
disturbance  of  Isaac  Plains  East.  Clearing  has  continued  in  line  with  mining  operations  of  $4.4  million.  A 
corresponding asset is recognised in Mine Properties.  

The continued extension of the mine life due to mine plan expansions at Isaac Plains East also contribute to 
a reduction in the rehabilitation provision due to the value of future discounted cash outflows.

Key judgement and estimates – vendor royalties 

During the business combination of Isaac Plains in 2015, AASB 3 Business Combinations required the 
recognition of Contingent Consideration. The Contingent Consideration relates to a royalty stream payable 
to the vendors of Isaac Plains in the event that benchmark Hard Coking Coal prices are above an Australian 
Dollar equivalent of 160 (adjusted for CPI) and coal is produced and sold from either Isaac Plains or Isaac 
Plains East. Each royalty is capped at predetermined amounts for each vendor.  Once the price threshold 
and production requirements are met, the royalty is payable at $2 per product tonne (2015 dollars) to each 
of the two vendors of Isaac Plains. Royalties were paid during FY20 to the vendors and as a result the 
remaining cap is $21.2 million (2020 dollars). 

During FY19, Stanmore completed the acquisition of Isaac Downs (formerly Wotonga South). This 
transaction included a royalty stream payable to the vendor at $1 per tonne of product coal when the 
premium hard coking coal benchmark is over A$170 per tonne (indexed for CPI) capped at $10.0m.  The fair 
value of this royalty has been recognised during FY19 and carried forward into FY20 and recognised as a 
non-current liability. 

This valuation has been performed using a discounted cash flow methodology which was consistent with 
that used in FY19. The method used is classed as a level 3 valuation under AASB 13 the following key 
unobservable inputs are used in its calculation: 

•  Hard Coking Coal forward price curve based on a compilation of short term (12 months) prices from Isaac 
Plains coal marketing consultants Square Trading Pty Ltd and long-term estimates completed by Wood 
McKenzie 

•  A$/US$ Foreign exchange forward curve estimates are based on market consensus curves 

•  Coal sales based on the current mining plans of the Isaac Plains Complex, including the Isaac Plains 

mine, the Isaac Plains East Mine (commenced July 2018), the Isaac Downs Mine (unapproved) and the 
Isaac Plains Underground (unapproved). 

As considered in AASB 13 para 93(h)(i) the following unobservable inputs contain sensitivities that would 
result in significant changes to the market valuation. There interactions between the sensitivities in the 
coking coal price and the US$/A$ foreign exchange rate. As the coal commodity is currently traded in US$ 
the interaction between the index price and the FX rate could both magnify and mitigate each other 
depending on the timing and direction of movements of both indexes.

DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE 

Earnings used to calculate diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the amount used in 
determining basic earnings per share by the after-tax effect of dividends and interest associated with 
dilutive potential ordinary shares. The weighted average number of shares used is adjusted for the 
weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive 
potential ordinary shares.

Ordinary  shares  participate  in  dividends  and  the  proceeds  on  winding  up  of  the  Consolidated  Entity  in 
proportion to the number of shares held. At shareholders’ meetings, each ordinary share is entitled to one 
vote when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands. 

Ordinary shares have no par value and Stanmore Coal Limited does not have a limited amount of authorised 
capital. 

The shares issued as part of the Employee shares issued are subject to a trading lock of 3 years, or until such 
time as the employee resigns from the Consolidated Entity, these are referred to as deferred shares. As at 30 
June 2020, 13,248 deferred shares were still subject to trading lock. Excluding the 13,248 deferred shares, 
there are 270,404,133 tradable shares. The difference between the original issued shares under the Employee 
shares relates to employees that have left the Consolidated Entity and had the holding lock removed from 
their shares.

C.  CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 

The capital of the Consolidated Entity is managed to provide capital growth to shareholders and ensure the 
Consolidated Entity can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. 

The Consolidated Entity’s capital comprises equity as shown in the Consolidated Statement of Financial 
Position. There are no externally imposed capital requirements. 

Management oversees the Consolidated Entity’s capital by assessing the financial risks and adjusting its 
capital structure in response to changes in these risks and the market. These responses include the 
management of share issues and debt. 

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the 
Consolidated Entity since the prior year. 

D.  RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are 
shown as a deduction from the equity proceeds, net of any income tax benefit.

NOTE 21 

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

GENERAL OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND PROCESSES 

In common with all other businesses, the Consolidated Entity is exposed to risks that arise from its use of 
financial instruments. This note describes the Consolidated Entity’s objectives, policies and processes for 
managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect 
of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements 

There have been no substantive changes in the Consolidated Entity’s exposure to financial instrument risks. 

The Consolidated Entity’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, trade and other 
receivables, security deposits, trade and other payables, borrowings and Vendor Royalty – Contingent 
Consideration. 

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Consolidated Entity’s risk management 
objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority 
for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and 
policies to the Consolidated Entity’s finance function. The Consolidated Entity’s risk management policies 
and objectives are therefore designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the results of the 
Consolidated Entity where such impacts may be material. 

The overall objective of the Board is to set polices that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly 
affecting the Consolidated Entity’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies 
are set out below: 

A.  CREDIT RISK 

Credit risk is the risk that the other party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge their obligation 
resulting in the Consolidated Entity incurring a financial loss. This usually occurs when debtors fail to settle 
their obligations owing to the Consolidated Entity. The Consolidated Entity’s objective is to minimise the risk 
of loss from credit risk exposure. 

The Consolidated Entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting year, without taking 
into account the value of any collateral or other security, in the event other parties fail to perform their 
obligations under financial instruments in relation to each class of recognised financial asset at reporting 
date, is as follows: 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Restricted cash 

Receivables 

Security deposits and debt service reserve

Credit risk exposure

Credit risk is reviewed regularly by the Board and the Audit and Risk Management Committee. 

The Consolidated Entity’s credit risk exposure is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each 
customer. Given the Consolidated Entity trades predominately with recognised, credit worthy third parties, 
the credit risk is determined to be low. There is no expected credit loss on outstanding receivables. Bank 
deposits are held with National Australia Bank Limited. National Australia Bank have a long-term credit 
rating with rating agency S&P of AA-.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT.) 

B.  LIQUIDITY RISK 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Entity may encounter difficulties raising funds to meet 
financial obligations as they fall due. The object of managing liquidity risk is to ensure that the Consolidated 
Entity will always have sufficient liquidity to meets its liabilities when they fall due, under both normal and 
stressed conditions. Liquidity risk is reviewed regularly by the Board and the Audit and Risk Management 
Committee. 

The Consolidated Entity manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and liquidity ratios such as 
working capital. The Consolidated Entity’s working capital, being current assets less current liabilities has 
increased from $55.517 million in 2019 to $71.578 million in 2020.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT.) 

C.  CURRENCY RISK 

The Australian dollar (A$) is the functional currency of the Consolidated Entity and as a result, currency 
exposure arises from transactions and balances in currencies other than the A$. 

The Consolidated Entity’s potential currency exposures comprise: 

COAL SALES DENOMINATED IN US$ 

Coal sales for export coal are denominated in US$. The Consolidated Entity is therefore exposed to volatility 
in the US$: A$ exchange rates. Historically, due to the stability in the exchange rate it remains the 
Consolidated Entity’s policy not to hedge Foreign exchange risk relating to coal sales. This may change in 
the future if the Consolidated Entity believe there may be a benefit to hedge foreign currency risk in relation 
to its coal sales. 

The Consolidated Entity generally aligns all Semi Soft Coking Coal prices to relevant Newcastle Semi Soft 
indexes. While Thermal coal sales are generally sold on the spot market via negotiation with relevant 
counter parties. The Consolidated Entity does not use any derivative products to mitigate fluctuations in 
the relevant coal price indexes. 

BANK GUARANTEE LINE OF CREDIT FACILITIES DENOMINATED IN US$ 

The line of credit facility utilised by the Group is issued back to back with an Australian Institution. This 
means that while utilised as a Financial Guarantee only facility there is no exchange risk and the US$ 
amount varies while the A$ amount is fixed to the value of the guarantees issued. While this facility limits 
US$ exposure in the event of default on a bank guarantee on issue of the funds by the respective banks the 
US$ loan would crystallise, and a US$ exposure would eventuate. It is considered the risk of such an event 
is limited in the current environment. If these loans did crystallise the US$ currency risk would be assessed 
at that time. As noted in below loans in US$ currency supply a natural hedge to the US$ denominated coal 
sales.  

As this facility is provided by the Consolidated Entity’s existing financier, once this facility has been 
cancelled and the bank guarantees replaced by the Consolidated Entity with cash deposits, this risk will no 
longer be present.  

WORKING CAPITAL FACILITY 

The current working capital facility which will be cancelled on 16 September 2020 can no longer be utilised 
by the Consolidated Entity therefore there is no longer an exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.  

The short term finance facility currently in place is denominated in A$ and available to the Consolidated 
Entity with 5 days-notice required for draw downs. See Note 13 for details of the short term facility. 

Derivative products are therefore currently not deemed necessary to reduce foreign exchange risk in 
relation to the working capital facilities.  

EXPENSES DENOMINATED IN CURRENCIES OTHER THAN A$ 

Currently the exposure to such expenses is minimal, but it is noted that equipment purchases, equipment 
parts and other mine related expenditure can be in various foreign currencies. When entering major 
transactions in foreign currencies it is the policy of the Consolidated Entity to assess the currency risk of 
the transaction and review derivative products or other methods to offset this risk. Where appropriate these 
products would be used, but no such transactions occurred in the 30 June 2020 or 30 June 2019 financial 
years.

D.  MARKET RISK 

Market risk arises from the use of interest bearing, tradable and foreign currency financial instruments. It is 
a risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in 
interest rates (interest rate risk), foreign exchange rates (currency risk) or other market factors (another 
price risk). The Consolidated Entity does not have any material exposure to market risk.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT.) 

INTEREST RATE RISK 

Interest rate risk arises principally from cash and cash equivalents. The objective of interest rate risk 
management is to manage and control interest rate risk exposures within acceptable parameters while 
optimising the return. 

Interest rate risk is managed with a mixture of fixed and floating rate investments. For further details on 
interest rate risk refer to the tables below:

NOTE 21 

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT.) 

The Consolidated Entity has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk. 
This sensitivity demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a 
change in these risks. 

At 30 June 2020, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate would be as 
follows:

FAIR VALUES 

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and 
measurement or for disclosure purposes. The Consolidated Entity has adopted the amendment to AASB 9 
Financial Instruments: Disclosures which requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the 
following fair value measurement hierarchy: 

a) 

b) 

c) 

quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1); 

inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, 
either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2); and 

inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) 
(level 3). 

The Consolidated Entity completed a level 3 valuation on contingent consideration (Note 17). The carrying 
value of a significant portion of all financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair values due 
to their short-term nature.  There were no transfers between the levels during the year.

COMMITMENTS (CONT.) 

Land acquisitions 

On 7 April 2011, the Consolidated Entity announced that it had completed an agreement for the right to 
purchase The Range thermal Coal Project in the Surat Basin. Variations to this agreement have been 
negotiated such that final payment and transfer of title is due 30 days after the Mining Lease is granted by 
the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, or an earlier date by agreement.  The final 
payment is indexed to land valuation movements with reference to comparable properties, with a reference 
price of $3.7 million based at 2014. The agreement gives the Group access to undertake evaluation and 
development work as the Project moves through the approval process and ultimate development and 
production. The terms of the acquisition are within normal market expectations. 

Isaac Plains Complex Royalty 

On 26 November 2015 the Consolidated Entity established a finance facility with Taurus to fund the 
acquisition of and re-start of mining at the Isaac Plains Complex and agreed to a 0.8% royalty payable on:  

• 

the saleable value of all product coal owned by the Group at that time and processed through the Isaac 
Plains infrastructure. 

•  any processing or handing fees arising from the treatment of 3rd party coal processed through the Isaac 

Plains infrastructure. 

On the 8 June 2018, the Consolidated Entity extended its financing facilities through Taurus on the 
completion of this extension it was agreed to increase the royalty from 0.8% to 1% on all future sales that 
meet the above criteria.  

This Royalty stream will stay on foot following cancellation of the finance facility. 

Isaac Plains East landholder agreement 

On 20 July 2017 the Consolidated Entity completed a land holder compensation agreement for access to MLA 
70016,  MLA  70017,  MLA  70018,  and  MLA  70019.    The  compensation  agreement  includes  the  following 
contingent consideration item: 

•  A royalty of $0.60/product tonne sold (increasing by 2.5% p.a.) from July 2018 when the published Hard 
Coking Coal Price for any quarter is greater than US$200/t (increasing by 2.5% p.a.) from July 2017.

NOTE 24 

CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES 

CONTINGENT ASSETS 

WICET Loan 

In the 2014 financial year the Consolidated Entity impaired the full balance of the loan provided to third 
party infrastructure providers. The loan related to the WEXP1 project in Gladstone and the Group’s 
participation in the Capacity Commitment Deed (CCD) which provided certain future access rights in return 
for a funding commitment from the Consolidated Entity. The Consolidated Entity provided $8m in loans 
which were used to fund studies and complete initial dredging activities in respect of a future expansion to 
the port site. The CCD expired on 31 August 2014. The Group retains only those rights which relate to 
recoupment of loaned amounts as a result of a future port expansion, which may or may not occur. Based 
on a range of factors, a new expansion proponent who achieves financial close prior to 31 December 2020 
will be required to reimburse the Group for a portion of the loaned amount which, in the opinion of an 
expert, provides a benefit to the proponents of that expansion. Until the timing of that future financing 
event is known, it is difficult to reliably estimate what portion of the Consolidated Entity’s $8m loan would 
be repaid.  

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES 

Debt finance facility 

In November 2015 (extended in June 2019), the Consolidated Entity signed a Finance Facility which provides 
credit support for certain bank guarantees issued to  third parties  related to the  Isaac Plains Coal Mine, to 
support major infrastructure and transport contracts.  Given the structure of the arrangement the facility is 
backed-to-back with a major financial institution which provides credit support on the Consolidated Entity’s 
behalf. This arrangement, amongst other things, avoids foreign currency translation risk as the guarantees 
issued  to  third  parties  are  denominated  in  Australian  dollars.  The  letters  of  credit  arrangement  are  off-
consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  except  in  circumstances  where  the  Consolidated  Entity  is  in 
default under the facility agreement or the underlying infrastructure contract. If a default were to occur, then 
the  debt  would  convert  into  a  US  dollar  loan  which would  result  in  Consolidated  Statement  of  Financial 
Position recognition. At the date of these financial statements there is no default occurring or subsisting. 

Through this facility, the following bank guarantees are provided to third parties: 

Rail capacity providers 

Port capacity providers 

Electricity network access supplier

During FY20, this Finance Facility provided to the Consolidated Entity was cancelled as a result of the 
change of control of the Consolidated Entity. The Consolidated Entity is in the process of replacing the bank 
guarantees provided under the current Finance Facility and will have all the bank guarantees replaced by 
the cancellation date of the facility. See Note 13 for more details about the current and proposed finance 
facilities.

CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (CONT.) 

Surety Bond facility 

On June 2019 the Consolidated Entity signed a Surety Bond Facility which provides performance bonds. The 
surety  bonds  are  off-consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  except  in  circumstances  where  the 
Consolidated Entity is in default under the facility letter. If a default were to occur, then the debt would be 
realised which would result in Consolidated Statement of Financial Position recognition. At the date of these 
financial statements there is no default occurring or subsisting. 

Through this facility, the following surety is provided to a third party:

Given the Queensland Government changes to the provision of financial security for mining rehabilitation 
obligations, the Consolidated Entity is reviewing its options in relation to this Surety Bond Facility. If there is 
opportunity for the Consolidated Entity to join the Queensland Government State pool in relation to its 
current rehabilitation obligations this may be considered. 

As at 30 June 2020 this Surety Bond Facility is still required, and the Consolidated Entity had not yet been 
approved to be part of the State pool.

EVENTS AFTER REPORTING DATE 

On 27 July 2020 the Consolidated Entity announced that it has entered into a marketing services 
agreement with M Resources Trading Pty Ltd (M Resources).  

M Resources will exclusively manage the Consolidated Entity’s global sales contracts and customer 
relationships, as well securing additional sales to customers.  M Resources will be managing sales for all of 
the Consolidated Entity’s coal output, including for the Isaac Downs project. 

The key terms of the agreement are; 

• 

• 

initial contract term is for 3 years with an option to extend for an additional 12 months if agreed 
by both parties 

the contract is a fixed base fee contract with an additional performance based variable fee 
linked to agreed performance-based targets 

M Resources is an independent Brisbane based marketing services and trading company supported by an 
experienced team with a long track record in market development, technical marketing, sales, processing 
and logistics management. M Resources and its owner, Matt Latimore are substantial shareholders of the 
Consolidated Entity, creating a strategic alignment towards shareholder goals. 

On 27 July 2020, the Consolidated Entity announced a change to its accounting period to align accounting 
periods with its parent entity, GEAR. The Consolidated Entity will have a 6-month transitional financial 
period beginning 1 July 2020 and ending 31 December 2020. The Consolidated Entity will then revert to a 
financial year period 1 January to 31 December. 

On 31 August 2020, Queensland Treasury, as part of the Financial Provisioning scheme assessed the Initial 
Risk Category of the Consolidated Entity’s ability to rehabilitate Isaac Plains and Isaac Plains East as 
Moderate. This risk classification allows the Consolidated Entity to form part of the Queensland Treasury 
State Pool in relation to providing financial security over its future rehabilitation obligations for Isaac Plains 
and Isaac Plains East. The Consolidated Entity is required to contribute 2.75% of its estimated rehabilitation 
costs to the State Pool for this security. 

No other events or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year.

OPERATING SEGMENTS 

The Consolidated Entity has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed 
and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers, “CODM”) in assessing performance and 
determining the allocation of resources. The Consolidated Entity is managed primarily on a producing asset 
versus non-producing asset basis. Operating segments are determined on the basis of financial information 
reported to the Board which is at the Consolidated Entity level. All segments are located within Australia. 

Accordingly, management currently identifies the Consolidated Entity as having two reportable segments, 
the first being the operation of the Isaac Plains Coal Mine (including the Isaac Plains East project) and the 
second being all other exploration and development coal assets and corporate. 

Accounting policies adopted 

Unless otherwise stated, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the CODM 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 Consolidated Entity. 

Segment assets 

Where an asset is used across multiple segments the asset is allocated to the segment that receives most 
of the economic value from the assets. In most instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable based on 
their nature and physical location. 

Segment liabilities 

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

Unallocated items 

Coal trading, corporate, marketing and infrastructure functions which are managed on a group basis are not 
allocated to an operating segment. 

The Consolidated Entity’s financing (including finance costs and finance income), depreciation and income 
taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to reportable segments. 

Major customers 

The Consolidated Entity has several customers to whom it sells export grade coal. The Consolidated Entity 
supplies one such external customer who accounts for 29% of revenue. The next most significant customer 
accounts for 15% of revenue. 

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 

The Consolidated Entity applies AASB 8 Operating Segments which requires a management approach under 
which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. 
Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting to the chief 
operating decision maker (CODM), which has been identified by the Consolidated Entity as the Managing 
Director and other members of the Board of Directors.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 

The fair value of shares, options or rights granted to employees and consultants are recognised as an 
expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised 
over the period during which the employees or consultants become unconditionally entitled to the 
instruments. In determining fair value, no account is taken of any performance conditions other than those 
related to the share price of Stanmore Coal Limited (market conditions). The cumulative expense 
recognised between grant date and vesting date is adjusted to reflect the Directors’ best estimate of the 
number of instruments that will ultimately vest because of internal conditions of the instruments, such as 
the employees having to remain with the Consolidated Entity until vesting date, or such that employees are 
required to meet internal sales targets. 

During the year ended 30 June 2020, Rights were granted to employees as long-term incentive as outlined 
in the Remuneration report, 509,192 Rights were granted. The terms and conditions of the grant are as 
follows:

As a result of the Board exercising its discretion in relation to the Rights outstanding on 1 April 2020, the 
day immediately before the change of control, a modification under AASB 2 Share Based Payments was 
triggered. This modification required the Rights that vested as a result of the change in control to be 
revalued immediately before the change of control and any value increase between the revalued amount 
and the share price on the day of modification be recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and other 
Comprehensive Income. The below is the impact on the Statement of Profit or Loss and other

NOTE 30 

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (CONT.) 

In relation to the Rights, one retest is available 12 months after the end of the measurement period only if 
no vesting occurred in relation to the first test following the completion of the measurement period. 

The Consolidated Entity does not intend to issue more than an aggregate of 5% of its share capital, from 
time to time, under the LTI plans. 

It is a condition of the rights that the KMP must remain employed by Stanmore Coal for the Rights to vest. 

Key estimates – share-based payments 

The Consolidated Entity uses estimates to determine the fair value of equity instruments issued to 
Directors, executives and employees. The estimates include volatility, risk free rates and consideration of 
satisfaction of performance criteria for recipients of equity instruments. During the year, no shares or 
options were issued. Rights were issued as outlined above and the cost of these rights represents the 
valuation completed by an independent valuer. As a result of the change of control that occurred on 2 April 
2020, there was a modification to the valuation immediately prior to the change of control. See details on 
page 91 for information on the modification and the impact to the Profit and Loss.

 All Coal Resources are reported under The Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 
(‘the JORC Code’) applicable at the time each report was published. Reports dated 2012, and earlier, used the JORC 2004 version, reports dated after 
2012 reported against the requirements of the 2012 JORC Code.
 Totals may not be exact due to significant figure rounding.
 The Reserves quoted for The Range project were established in 2011 under the relevant JORC Code at the time and used a coal price forecast 
of A$120/tonne for benchmark NEWC thermal coal equivalent. These Reserves were supported by a Feasibility Study that assumed the 
completion of the Surat Basin rail to connect the mine to the Port of Gladstone.

Note 4:  All Coal Reserves are reported on a 100% basis, and Stanmore Coal’s economic interest in the tenure above is 100%.

 All Coal Resources are reported under The Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (‘the JORC

reported against the requirements of the 2012 JORC Code.
 Rounding to the nearest significant figure is applied to Total Resource Tonnes in the Inferred Category. This is deemed conservative and reflective of 
the Inferred Resource category confidence level and accounts for the minor differences in the overall total reported resources.
 All Coal Resources are reported on a 100% basis; Stanmore Coal’s economic interest in Clifford is 60%, Mackenzie is 95%, and Lilyvale is 85%, all other 
tenure is 100% owned by Stanmore Coal.
