Company particulars

Brisbane QLD 4000

Principal activities

The principal activities of the consolidated entity during the course of the period were:

The group had 11 employees as at 30 June 2010.

The operating result of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2010 was a loss of $7,284,089 (2009: profit of $6,712,075).

SYNTECH HOLDINGS PTY LTD

ABN 21 123 782 445

 

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

 

During the year the Company obtained additional finance facilities to enable activities to progress. The finance fee was satisfied by an issue of an option for 20% equity interest in the Company. The fair value of the 20% equity interest has been estimated at $80m.

Dividends

No dividends have been paid or declared by the Company since the end of the previous financial year.

Likely developments

Information about likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of those operations in the future financial years has not been included in this report because disclosure of the information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

Events subsequent to balance date

Subsequent to year end the Group has entered into a financing facility with the Commonwealth Bank to provide further funding that will enable the Group to complete the construction of the mine, and provide bank guarantees to third party providers as required in the normal course of business. This facility is supported by security provided by the Group as well as a guarantee provided by the Group’s major shareholder.

In addition, in November 2010 the Group entered into a further financing facility with Goldman Sachs for an additional US$30m. This further facility is an extension to the existing facility.

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

Directors’ interest and benefits

Other than as set out below, no Director has received or become entitled to receive, during or since the end of the financial year, a benefit because of a contract made by the chief entity, controlled entity, or a related body corporate with a Director, a firm of which a Director is a member of any entity in which a Director has a substantial financial interest.

In accordance with Clause 9.3 of the Shareholders Agreement, Direct Invest AG a company controlled by Mr Erik Schafer, has provided Consultancy Services to the Company for which it has received US$250,000 [AUD$281,901.51] for the period to 30 June 2010.

Mr Robert Mancini, Mr Allan Marson, Mr Stefan Dorfmeister and Mr Shameek Konar are employed by affiliates of GS Power Holdings LLC which provides financing facilities to the Group for which it receives interest and equity entitlements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

 

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

  (a) Statement of compliance

Syntech Holdings Pty Ltd (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office is Level 17, 80 Albert Street, Brisbane, Queensland 4000, The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2010 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”). Parent entity financial information has not been provided in this financial report.

In the opinion of the directors the Group is not a reporting entity. The financial report of the Group has been drawn up as a special purpose financial report for distribution to the members.

The special purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement aspects of all applicable Australian Accounting Standards (“AASBs”) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”),

The financial report does not include the disclosure requirements of the following pronouncements having a material effect:

 

•   AASB 7

  Financial instruments: disclosures

•   AASB 8

  Segment reporting

•   AASB 112

  Income taxes

•   AASB 116

  Property, plant & equipment

•   AASB 118

  Borrowing costs

•   AASB 124

  Related party disclosures

•   AASB 132

  Financial instruments: presentation

•   AASB 137

  Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

 

  (b) Basis of preparation

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.

The financial report is prepared on the historical cost basis.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.

Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependant upon funds being provided under loan facilities supported by GS Power Holdings LLC as disclosed in notes 11 and 18 and additional finance guarantees provided by GS Power Holdings LLC, and/or as outlined in the following paragraphs, the Group obtaining alternative finance from its shareholders or third party financiers.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

 

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)

 

  (b) Going concern (cont.)

 

Note 11 outlines that the face value of the discounted notes with a book value of $67,933,838 at 30 June 2010 are repayable in August 2011. The ability of the company to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the date of this report is also dependent upon the company being able to either obtain an extension of the notes past August 2011 or the company obtaining alternate finance facilities to enable the notes to be repaid from shareholders or third party financiers.

The directors consider that:

 

   

the funding under the loan facilities disclosed as non-current in note 11 and note 18 will be available to the company, and

 

   

that the notes with a book value of $67,933,838 at 30 June 2010 are either extended past August 2011 or the company is able to obtain alternate finance facilities to enable the notes to be repaid.

In the event that the Group could not continue as a going concern, the Group may not be able to realise its assets and extinguish liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.

 

  (c) Basis of Consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial report from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

(ii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intragroup balances, and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

 

  (d) Foreign currency

Transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to Australian dollars at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

 

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)

 

  (e) Taxation

Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Deferred taxes are not recognised on temporary differences upon asset acquisitions that neither affect accounting profit or taxable income.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

 

  (f) Goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

 

  (g) Cash

Cash comprises cash balances and deposits maturing within 3 months.

 

  (h) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are stated at their amortised cost using the effective interest method less any impairment losses.

 

  (i) Property, plant and equipment

All assets acquired, including property plant and equipment, are initially recorded at their cost of acquisition at the date of acquisition, being the fair value of the consideration provided plus incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition,

Expenditure is only recognised as an asset when the group controls future economic benefits as a result of the costs incurred that are probable and can be measured reliably.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

 

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)

 

  (i) Property, plant and equipment (cont.)

 

Depreciation

All assets have limited useful lives and are depreciated using both the straight line method and diminishing value method over their estimated useful lives, taking into account estimated residual values. All assets are depreciated from when each asset is available for use, that is, when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation rates and methods are reviewed annually for appropriateness. When changes are made, adjustments are reflected prospectively in current and future periods only. Depreciation amounts are expensed.

The estimated useful lives of assets in the current and comparative periods are as follows:

 

Plant and equipment     7.5 years   
Low value pool     2.5 years   
Motor vehicles     4.5 years   
Office equipment     2.5 years   
Furniture, fixtures and fittings     9 years   
Computer equipment     2.5 years   

 

  (j) Impairment

The carrying amounts of the group’s assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In 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. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.

 

  (k) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are stated at their amortised cost using the effective interest method. Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled on 30-day terms.

 

  (l) Mining tenement - exploration and evaluation costs

Mining tenement - exploration and evaluation costs, including the costs of acquiring assets and licences, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Mining tenements acquired by the Group are reflected at fair value upon acquisition. Costs incurred before the Group has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised as an expense in profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

 

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)

 

  (1) Mining tenement - exploration and evaluation costs (cont.)

 

Mining tenement, exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and either:

 

  (i) the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest; or

 

  (ii) activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or other wise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Mining tenement, exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability and facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates.

The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral holdings in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and reclassified to mining property and development assets within mining tenements.

 

  (m) Employee benefits

Wages, salaries, annual leave, sick leave and non-monetary benefits

Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to reporting date, are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wages and salary rates that the entity expects to pay at reporting date including related on-costs, such as, workers compensation insurance and payroll tax.

Non-accumulating non-monetary benefits are expensed based on the net marginal cost to the entity as the benefits are taken by the employees.

Superannuation plan

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution superannuation funds are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as incurred.

 

  (n) Finance facility fee

Finance facility fee on loan arrangements that are probable to be drawn down, which include the fair value of options issued to lenders over the Company’s own equity, are capitalised and subsequently recognised as an expanded interest expense policy adjustment to the effective interest expense over the estimated period of the facility when drawn down.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

 

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)

 

  (o) Convertible participating notes - converting note

Convertible participating notes issued by the Company are accounted for as compound financial instruments, containing liability and equity components.

The liability component of the note is calculated as the present value of the expected stream of future contractual cash flows discounted at a market rate applicable to similar debt instruments without such a conversion option. The conversion feature of the note is accounted for as an equity component. The value ascribed to this feature is the residual, that is the fair value of the entire instrument less the value of the liability component determined above.

 

  (p) Option reserve

The fair value of options issued in connection with the provision of funding arrangements and recorded in the option reserve is based on the fair value of the options issued by the Company. The fair value of the options issued is based on an estimate of the fair value of the Group, determined using a discounted cash flow model of certain proven and probable reserves and evidence of the market value of the Group’s coal resources provided by recent sales of developing coal mines.

 

  (q) Issued capital

Shares issued as consideration for the acquisition of assets, including mining tenements, by the Company are recorded based on the fair value of the assets received by the Company in exchange for issuing the shares.

 

  (r) Finance income and expenses

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method.

Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings, amortisation of the liability component of convertible participating notes and amortisation of capitalised borrowing costs and other associated costs of borrowings. Borrowing costs incurred that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 

  (s) Accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Group.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)

 

  (s) Accounting estimates and judgements (cont.)

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Management have determined with the directors the development, selection and disclosure of the consolidated entity’s critical accounting policies and estimates and the application of these policies and estimates. The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts are discussed below.

Fair value of mining tenements, exploration & evaluation assets and value of issued capital

Note 7 contains information and calculations about the basis used to measure the fair value of mining tenement exploration & evaluation assets upon acquisition by the Group.

Note 13 contains information about the basis of the issued capital, including amounts being recorded based on the fair value of the assets received by the Company, in exchange for issuing the shares.

These calculations involved making an estimation of the fair value of the Cameby Downs mining tenement asset acquired, which was based on an alternative acquirer valuation methodology through the value of a 40% equity interest acquired under the converting note (convertible participating note) for US$20m. The stage of development of the Cameby Downs mining tenement did not enable at that time the fair value of the asset to be reliably determined under any other valuation approach, including the value in use of the asset.

Fair value of option issued

Note 15 contains information about the basis of the option reserve, including the fair value of options issued during the year and in prior years.

Valuation of the initial option issued to acquire 25% of the Company was based on the fair value of the Company’s shares determined using an alternative acquirer valuation methodology through the value of a 40% equity interest acquired under the converting note (convertible participating note) for US$20m.

During the year additional options were issued to acquire a further 20% interest in the Company. These options were issued in connection with agreements entered into for a US$65m discounted note facility and AU$92m in guarantee facilities and have been brought to account at directors’ valuation. The directors’ valuation is supported by a discounted cashflow of certain proven and probable reserves of the Group and evidence of the market value of the Group’s coal resources provided by recent sales of developing coal mines.

Finance facility fee

Note 8 contains information on finance facility fees capitalised and the amortisation on the deferred costs. The amortisation expenses for the period includes an estimate of the interest expenses based on the effective interest rate over the estimated loan draw downs over the life of the finance facility.

Classification of convertible participating notes

Note 14 contains information about the basis for classification of convertible participating notes. The liability component was calculated as the present value of the estimated stream of future contractual interest cash flows. The equity component was determined to be the difference between the face value less the fair value of the liability component.

 

  (t) Change in accounting policy - presentation of financial statements

The Group applies revised AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements (2007), which became effective as of 1 July 2009. As a result, the Group presents in the consolidated statement of changes in equity all owner changes in equity, whereas all non-owner changes in equity are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Comparative information has been re-presented so that it is also in conformity with the revised standard.

The initial carrying value of the Cameby Downs mining tenement was based on the fair value at acquisition of the asset using an alternate acquirer valuation methodology through the value of a 40% equity interest acquired in Cameby Downs under the converting note for US$20m issued to GS Power Holdings LLC, direct expenditure and associated costs.

The recoverability of the carrying value of the mining tenement - exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon successful development of Cameby Downs or alternatively the sale of Cameby Downs.

The finance facility fee recognised at 30 June 2007 represented the fair value of the 25% option granted to acquire ordinary shares in the Company (refer note 13), as a condition of the finance facility. The finance facility fee is being expensed over the estimated life of the finance facility as a finance expense based on the effective interest rate of the loan provided under the finance facility.

During the year ended 30 June 2010, the Company issued options in connection with the provision of funding arrangements to the Company that entitle the holder to 20% of the share capital of the company. The fair value of these options has been estimated at $80m, based on an estimate of the fair value of the Group, determined using a discounted cash flow model of certain proven and probable reserves of the Group and evidence of the market value of the Group’s coal resources provided by recent sales of developing coal mines. This fee is being amortised over the life of the funding arrangements.

The convertible participating note has no stated maturity date and may only be redeemed in the event of liquidation of the Company or its subsidiaries. The agreement requires that interest be accrued at an interest rate of 11% p.a., payable on conversion of the note. The liability component of the note has been calculated as the present value of the estimated stream of future contractual interest cash flows discounted at a market rate applicable to similar debt instruments without such a conversion option. The liability component of the convertible note is disclosed in note 10.

Under the agreement, the Company has an obligation to issue shares upon occurrence of a conversion event. Conversion events include the allotment of shares allotted under an IPO, sale or transfer of substantially all of the assets and undertakings of the Company or its subsidiary, date of agreement of sale of 100% of issued shares to someone who is not a shareholder or reorganization that would result in current holders owning less than 50% of voting shares. The equity component relating to this obligation is accounted for as the difference between the face value of the convertible participating note less the fair value of the liability component determined above.

Valuation of the initial option issued to acquire 25% of the Company was based on the fair value of the Company’s shares determined using an alternative acquirer valuation methodology through the value of a 40% equity interest acquired under the converting note (convertible participating note) for US$20m.

During the year additional options were issued to acquire a further 20% interest in the Company. These options were issued in connection with agreements entered into for a US$65m discounted note facility and AU$92m in guarantee facilities and have been brought to account at directors’ valuation. The directors’ valuation is supported by a discounted cashflow of certain proven and probable reserves of the Group and evidence of the market value of the Group’s coal resources provided by recent sales of developing coal mines.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SYNTECH HOLDINGS PTY LTD

We have audited the accompanying financial report, being a special purpose financial report, of Syntech Holdings Pty Ltd (the “Company”) and its controlled entities (collectively the “Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2010, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes set out on pages 5 to 23.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report and have determined that the accounting policies described in Note 1 to the financial statements, which form part of the financial report, are appropriate to meet the needs of the members. The directors’ responsibility also includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. No opinion is expressed as to whether the accounting policies used, as described in Note 1, are appropriate to meet the needs of members. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

These procedures have been undertaken to form an opinion whether, in all material respects, the financial report is presented fairly in accordance with the basis of accounting described in Note 1 to the financial statements so as to present a view which is consistent with our understanding of the Group’s financial position, and of its performance and cash flows.

The financial report has been prepared for distribution to members. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this report or on the financial report to which it relates to any person other than the members, or for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

 

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

  (a) Statement of compliance

Syntech Holdings II Pty Ltd (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office is Level 17, 80 Albert Street, Brisbane, Queensland 4000. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2010 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”). Parent entity financial information has not been provided in this financial report.

In the opinion of the directors the Group is not a reporting entity. The financial report of the Group has been drawn up as a special purpose financial report for distribution to the members.

The special purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement

aspects of all applicable Australian Accounting Standards (“AASBs”) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”).

The financial report does not include the disclosure requirements of the following pronouncements having a material effect:

 

 

• AASB 7

  

Financial instruments: disclosures

  
 

• AASB 112

   Income taxes   
 

• AASB 116

   Property, plant & equipment   
 

• AASB 118

   Revenue   
 

• AASB 123

   Borrowing costs   
 

• AASB 124

   Related party disclosures   
 

• AASB 132

   Financial instruments: presentation   
 

• AASB 137

   Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

 

  (b) Basis of preparation

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.

The financial report is prepared on the historical cost basis.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.

Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependant upon funds being provided under loan facilities supported by GS Power Holdings LLC to a related party, Syntech Holdings Pty Ltd and/or as outlined in the following paragraphs, the Group obtaining alternative finance from its shareholders or third party financiers.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)

 

  (b) Basis of preparation (cont.)

 

Going concern (cont.)

 

The ability of Syntech Holdings Pty Ltd to continue as a going concern is in turn dependent upon their loan facilities being available to Syntech Holdings Pty Ltd. The ability of Syntech Holdings Pty Ltd to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the date of this report is also dependent upon Syntech Holdings Pty Ltd being able to either obtain an extension of interest bearing notes (book value of $67,933,838 at 30 June 2010 which are repayable in August 2011) past August 2011 or Syntech Holdings Pty Ltd obtaining alternate finance facilities to enable the interest bearing notes to be repaid from shareholders or third party financiers.

The directors consider that:

 

   

the funding under the loan facilities disclosed from GS Power Holdings LLC will be provided, and

 

   

Syntech Holdings Pty Ltd will be able to provide funds, and Syntech Holdings Pty Ltd will continue as a going concern for 12 months from the date of this report as Syntech Holdings Pty Ltd will be able to either obtain an extension of interest bearing notes (book value of $67,933,838 at 30 June 2010 which are repayable in August 2011) past August 2011 or Syntech Holdings Pty Ltd obtaining alternate finance facilities to enable the interest bearing notes to be repaid.

In the event that the Group could not continue as a going concern, the Group may not be able to realise its assets and extinguish liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.

 

  (c) Basis of Consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial report from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

(ii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intragroup balances, and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)

 

  (d) Foreign currency

Transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to Australian dollars at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss.

 

  (e) Taxation

Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Deferred taxes are not recognised on temporary differences upon asset acquisitions that neither affect accounting profit or taxable income.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

 

  (f) Goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

 

  (g) Cash

Cash comprises cash balances and deposits maturing within 3 months.

 

  (h) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are stated at their amortised cost using the effective interest method less any impairment losses.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

 

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)

 

  (i) Property, plant and equipment

All assets acquired, including property plant and equipment, are initially recorded at their cost of acquisition at the date of acquisition, being the fair value of the consideration provided plus incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition.

Expenditure is only recognised as an asset when the group controls future economic benefits as a result of the costs incurred that are probable and can be measured reliably.

Depreciation

All assets have limited useful lives and are depreciated using both the straight line method and diminishing value method over their estimated useful lives, taking into account estimated residual values. All assets are depreciated from when each asset is available for use, that is, when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation rates and methods are reviewed annually for appropriateness. When changes are made, adjustments are reflected prospectively in current and future periods only. Depreciation amounts are expensed.

The estimated useful lives of assets in the current and comparative periods are as follows:

 

 

Plant and equipment

   7.5 years   
 

Low value pool

   2.5 years   
 

Motor vehicles

   4.5 years   
 

Office equipment

   2.5 years   
 

Furniture, fixtures and fittings

   9 years   
 

Computer equipment

   2.5 years   

 

  (j) Impairment

The carrying amounts of the group’s assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In 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. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.

 

  (k) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payable are stated at their amortised cost using the effective interest method. Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled on 30-day terms.

  (l) Mining tenement - exploration and evaluation costs

Mining tenement - exploration and evaluation costs, including the costs of acquiring assets and licences, are

capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Mining tenements acquired by the Group are reflected at fair value upon acquisition. Costs incurred before the Group has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised as an expense in profit or loss.

Mining tenement, exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and either:

 

  (i) the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest; or

 

  (ii) activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or other wise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Mining tenement, exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability and facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying

amount exceeds the recoverable amount. For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates.

The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral holdings in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and reclassified to mining property and development assets within mining tenements.

 

  (m) Employee benefits

Wages, salaries, annual leave, sick leave and non-monetary benefits

Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to reporting date, are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wages and salary rates that the entity expects to pay at reporting date including related on-costs, such as, workers compensation insurance and payroll tax.

Non-accumulating non-monetary benefits are expensed based on the net marginal cost to the entity as the benefits are taken by the employees.

Superannuation plan

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution superannuation funds are recognised as an expense in

profit or loss as incurred.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)

 

  (n) Convertible participating notes - converting note

Convertible participating notes issued by the Company are accounted for as compound financial instruments, containing liability and equity components

The liability component of the note is calculated as the present value of the expected stream of future contractual cash flows discounted at a market rate applicable to similar debt instruments without such a conversion option. The conversion feature of the note is accounted for as an equity component. The value ascribed to this feature is the residual, that is the fair value of the entire instrument less the value of the liability component determined above.

 

  (o) Option reserve

The fair value of options issued in connection with the provision of funding arrangements and recorded in the option reserve is based on the fair value of the options issued by the Company. The fair value of the options issued is based on an estimate of the fair value of the Group, determined using a discounted cash flow model of certain proven and probable reserves and evidence of the market value of the Group’s coal resources provided by recent sales of developing coal mines.

 

  (p) Issued capital

Shares issued as consideration for the acquisition of assets, including mining tenements, by the Company are recorded based on the fair value of the assets received by the Company in exchange for issuing the shares.

 

  (q) Finance income and expenses

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method.

Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings, amortisation of the liability component of convertible participating notes and amortisation of capitalised borrowing costs and other associated costs of borrowings. Borrowing costs incurred that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 

  (r) Accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Group.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Management have determined with the directors the development, selection and disclosure of the consolidated entity’s critical accounting policies and estimates and the application of these policies and estimates. The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts are discussed below.

Fair value of mining tenements, exploration & evaluation assets and value of issued capital

Note 5 contains information and calculations about the basis used to measure the fair value of mining tenement exploration & evaluation assets upon acquisition by the Group.

Note 9 contains information about the basis of the issued capital, including amounts being recorded based on the fair value of the assets received by the Company, in exchange for issuing the shares.

Fair value of mining tenements, exploration & evaluation assets and value of issued capital (cont.)

These calculations involved making an estimation of the fair value of the Cameby Downs mining tenement asset acquired, which was based on an alternative acquirer valuation methodology through the value of a 65% equity interest acquired under the converting note (convertible participating note) for US$10m. The stage of development of the mining tenements has not enabled the fair value of the asset to be reliably determined under any other valuation approach, including the value in use of the asset.

Fair value of option issued

Note 11 contains information about the basis of the option reserve.

During the year options were issued to acquire a 20% interest in the Company. These options were issued in connection with the provision of funding arrangements to Syntech Holdings Pty Ltd, a related party, to enable the Group to progress the commercialisation of its mining tenements, including construction of related infrastructure, and have been brought to account at directors’ valuation. The directors’ valuation is supported by a discounted cashflow of certain proven and probable reserves of the Group and evidence of the market value of the Group’s coal resources provided by recent sales of developing coal mines.

Classification of convertible participating notes

Note 10 contains information about the basis for classification of convertible participating notes. The liability component was calculated as the present value of the estimated stream of future contractual interest cash flows. The equity component was determined to be the difference between the face value less the fair value of the liability component.

 

  (s) Change in accounting policy – presentation of financial statements

The Group applies revised AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements (2007), which became effective as of 1 July 2009. As a result, the Group presents in the consolidated statement of changes in equity all owner changes in equity, whereas all non-owner changes in equity are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Comparative information has been re-presented so that it is also in conformity with the revised standard.

The initial carrying value of the mining tenements was based on the fair value at acquisition of the asset using an alternate acquirer valuation methodology through the value of a 65% equity interest acquired in the tenements under the converting note issued to GS Power Holdings LLC for US$l0m, direct expenditure and associated costs.

The recoverability of the carrying value of the mining tenement - exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon successful development of the tenements or alternatively the sale of the tenements.

The finance facility fee recognised at 30 June 2009 represented an allocation of the establishment fees paid on issue of the convertible note and options proportionate to the debt element brought to account in relation to the convertible note.

During the year ended 30 June 2010, the Company issued options in connection with the provision of funding arrangements to Syntech Holdings Pty Ltd, a related party, to enable the Group to progress the commercialisation of its mining tenements, including construction of related infrastructure.

The options entitle the holder to 20% of the share capital of the Company and have an estimated fair value of $20m. The fair value has been estimated based on the fair value of the Group, determined using a discounted cash flow model of certain proven and probable reserves and evidence of the market value of the Group’s coal resources provided by recent sales of developing coal mines.

The convertible participating note has no stated maturity date and may only be redeemed in the event of liquidation of the Company or its subsidiaries. The agreement requires that interest be accrued at an interest rate of 11% p.a., payable on conversion of the note. The liability component of the note has been calculated as the present value of the estimated stream of future contractual interest cash flows discounted at a market rate applicable to similar debt instruments without such a conversion option. The liability component of the convertible note is disclosed in note 8.

Under the agreement, the Company has an obligation to issue shares upon occurrence of a conversion event. Conversion events include the allotment of shares allotted under an IPO, sale or transfer of substantially all of the assets and undertakings of the Company or its subsidiary, date of agreement of sale of 100% of issued shares to someone who is not a shareholder or reorganisation that would result in current holders owning less than 50% of voting shares. The equity component relating to this obligation is accounted for as the difference between the face value of the convertible participating note less the fair value of the liability component determined above.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SYNTECH HOLDINGS II PTY LTD

We have audited the accompanying financial report, being a special purpose financial report, of Syntech Holdings II Pty Ltd (the “Company”) and its controlled entities (collectively the “Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2010, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes set out on pages 5 to 20.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report and have determined that the accounting policies described in Note 1 to the financial statements, which form part of the financial report, are appropriate to meet the needs of the members. The directors’ responsibility also includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit, No opinion is expressed as to whether the accounting policies used, as described in Note 1, are appropriate to meet the needs of members. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

These procedures have been undertaken to form an opinion whether, in all material respects, the financial report is presented fairly in accordance with the basis of accounting described in Note 1 to the financial statements so as to present a view which is consistent with our understanding of the Group’s financial position, and of its performance and cash flows.

The financial report has been prepared for distribution to members. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this report or on the financial report to which it relates to any person other than the members, or for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

  The data room does not contain a copy of the design and/or construction contract(s) for the CHPP and associated mine infrastructure. Please confirm the status of these items and whether (and when) the agreement(s) will be made available in the data room?  

With regard to design documents, the mining contract includes a number of appendices with design drawings and specifications, which can be found in the data room under section 06.02. Specifically the following folders should be helpful:

 

06.02.05. Appendix E. Mine Layout (PDF)

06.02.09. Appendix I. CHPP Infrastructure Drawings

06.02.10. Appendix J. CHPP Lists

06.02.11. Appendix K. CHPP Specifications

 

With regard to a construction contract, Syntech itself acted as lead contractor for the project, so there is no design and construct contract. The facility Is finished and is currently operating. Any other remaining work is intended to be completed by Jun-11 before closing.

  If regulators (DERM/EPA) have visited the site(s) over the last two years, please describe the the outcome of the visit.  

Representatives of the Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM) have visited site on 4 occasions:

 

1) Sarah Horton (Project Manager for central region) visited in late August 2010 for the purpose of becoming familiar with the site layout.

 

2) Sarah also visited in early October 2010, primarily to catch up on changes to site layout and to visit local residents&#8217; properties to assist her in determining what action may need to be taken (If any) to mitigate ongoing noise issues for some of those complainants).

 

An outcome of this visit was agreement between DERM/Syntech/Macmahon to conduct noise monitoring of residents properties in the area to gain the data necessary to identify issues and resolve the complaints. Please see “2502 - Letter from DERM re noise complaints” under folder 06._Mine_Operations\. This monitoring was undertaken by Ask, independent noise consultants.

  1/03/2011
17:21
           

3) Sarah again visited the site in December 2010, primarily to further discussions with Syntech/Macmahon on resolving issues surrounding noise complaints.

 

The Ask noise report, whilst showing that the noise levels from the mine are within statutory limits for most properties from which complaints have been received, there are two properties that are being affected by noise levels in excess of statutory limits. Further requirements for noise mitigation at the mine site were discussed, as well as potential for mitigation at the land owners property (e.g compensation for the installation of double glazing). We await final comment from DERM as to what is recommended to resolve the outstanding noise complaints.

 

4) Ryan Wagner has now replaced Sarah Horton as Project Manager for central region. Ryan has been to site once in 2011, after the flooding in January, to check up what actions were taken to manage water on site. Ryan is now also in charge of the noise negotiations that will eventually take place between DERM and some local residents.

  (PwC) Syntech has decided to reduce its tonnage request for Stage 2 of WICET to 5 mtpa form 10 mtpa. Has this change been factored into the forecast modelling for the CDEP project?   Reduction has not been factored into the indicative Stage II forecast modeling provided in the data room. There may be potential for an increase from 5 to 10 Mtpa as secondary markets for port capacity develop, especially in light of the number of participants with capacity, but without any production.;   21/02/2011

  (PwC) What is the Davies pipeline referred to on page 8 of document 2403? Does this relate to water being supplied by QGC? What is the cost impact of using a different route?  

Pls refer to 2268 - Davies Water Agreement in 02._Syntech_Holdings\14._Water_and_Power\.

 

Please also refer to the document uploaded to the data room in folder 02._Syntech_Holdings\14._Water_and_Power\ entitled: 2470 - Proposed Davies Dam Pipeline Rev B 24 Nov 2010 Model (1).

 

The Davies pipe line project is to source a secondary supply of water to provide emergency back-up to the supply from QGC. A contract for supply of a minimum of 300Ml /annum has been agreed with Mr Davies. Document in Data room. A copy of the registration of Carmel Davies as a registered water service provider will be forwarded when it is received.

Initially, a direct route from the Davies property to the mine site for the delivery pipe line was preferred, requiring agreement with another local farmer, Mr Ryan, to cross his land. We have been unable to reach a commercial agreement with Mr Ryan and recently decided to construct the pipe line on a slightly less direct route. This route has the pipe line leaving the Davies property and traversing local council roads, before entering Syntech property, thereby not requiring the involvement of any other land holder.

 

The Development Application for the new route is now being progressed with the local council.

 

The revised total cost for the installation of the Davies pipeline, which will be owned by Syntech Resources, is now A$550k, and this amount is included in our current budget.

  Can you please provide any audit and review of the SHMS conducted by McMahon as the coal mine operator   No audit has been conducted by Macmahon to date. Under Section 41 of the Queensland Coal Mining Safety and Health Act it would be expected that Macmahon conduct such an audit within the first 12 months of operations, and we expect they will do so by June 2011.

  Can you please provide copies of any directives or SCP’s issued to the mine by the inspectorate  

Please see directives/SCP&#8217;s received by the mine from the Inspectorate uploaded to the dataroom in folder 06._Mine_Operations\03._Safety.

 

All of the SCP&#8217;s in the directives have been carried out to the inspector&#8217;s satisfaction, except SCP #5 in the directive issued to Macmahon on 20/12/2010.

 

SCP#5 raised issues with the Installation of the bypass crusher. Macmahon have attempted to deal with the issue by conducting two risk assessments, one by themselves and one by the equipment manufacturer. However, the inspector has now rejected this approach, and in consultation with the inspector Macmahon are in the process of organising a full HAZOP review by an external consultant, to be conducted in March 2011.

  Please provide a copy of all sales contracts in relation to the sale of coal produced from the Cameby Downs Project.  

As sale contracts are subject to confidentiality restrictions with customers, we are unable to provide them at this point without getting specific waivers from our customers. We have instead provided a spreadsheet with a summary of key terms and quality metrics for the two sales that have been completed and the one forward sale that has been committed, as per 2493 - Syntech Coal Sales Quality v2 under folder 01._Asset_Overview_and_Financial_Model\01._Additional_Details. Please note that typical specs will continue to be reviewed as more production data becomes available.

 

Syntech currently does not have any long term sales agreements with customers, however we have been working with various Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese and Chinese plants / utilities to test burn the coal.

Syntech completed its first sale of 73,864 mt In December, at a realized price of $79.85 (reflecting a Contract Price of $84.46 basis 6,000 gar) and second sale of 37,891 mt was completed in January, at a realized price of $101.23 / mt (reflecting a Contract Price of $111.65 basis 6,000 nar). The actual realized prices were adjusted for CV and moisture (which was higher than then anticipated due to the extreme rains in January / December). In addition, the second sale was for the quantity available at the port as the rail link had been destroyed by the flooding at this time.

 

The company has fixed one sale for May, at a Base Price equal to monthly NEWC SCoTA Index less $4.50 basis 6000 nar. Other than this, no other forward commitments have been made.

 

Syntechs coal has been trialed by a Japanese utility and a Taiwanese utility with a further sale pending to another Japanese utility.

  The December 2010/January 2011 Progress Report refers to 15 “action items” arising from the annual compliance audit. Please provide details of any outstanding remedial actions required to rectify non-compliances and address the “action items” (see page 12).  

There are 4 outstanding action items:

 

1) Access to allow completion of the sediment dam (not completed at time of audit) had been restricted due to on-going wet weather in 2010. Work is presently being undertaken by civil contractors to complete the rock lined dam by-wash and to apply seeded topsoil to the dam walls to minimize potential for erosion.

 

During the recent rain events there was a small (3m x 3m) failure in the wall of the sediment dam which collects the rain water run-off that is channeled around the north eastern area of the open mine pit and out-of-pit spoil dumps. This dam is not classed as a hazardous dam and no environmental reporting requirement was triggered. To date access to the area has been restricted due to the wet weather. However, the minor repairs required will be effected as soon as it is safe to enter and work in the area.

  2/03/2011
10:24
            2) The remaining three action items relate to noise complaints from local residents received since mining commenced. The action items involved developing a monitoring programme to review noise levels in the mine area and provide a report to DERM for their review, which has been done, and we await recommendations on further action from DERM concerning two identified affected properties. DERM may recommend both further mitigation strategies in the mine area, and/or negotiations with the owners of the affected properties to provide compensation payments for noise mitigation at the owners&#8217; residences e.g. double glazing/noise insulation. In the meantime, we are working with Macmahon to continue developing noise mitigation strategies in and around site, e.g. moving the shift equipment &#8220;go line&#8221; to an area deeper within the mine area

During the tender submission process Syntech reviewed the safety performance of Macmahon at other operations where coal mining is undertaken.

The organisation chart submitted and accepted by Syntech includes two safety professionals which in Syntechs opinion is sufficient to provide support to line management in an operation of this size.

  Please confirm whether any other safety incidents have occurred and, if so, whether the regulatory authorities were notified of such incidents, whether any claims have been made in respect of such safety incidents and what the status of those claims is.  

Other than the incident in 2007 above, there have been 4 incidents at the mine requiring reporting to the regulator in the period that Syntech has fulfilled the roles of Mine Operator and SSE. There was also an incident in 2009 whereby a contractor committed suicide on the mine site, for reasons unrelated to his employment and the authorities involved have requested that details related to this incident are kept private. All these 5 incidents were reported to the regulator. No claims relating to these incidents have been received.

 

Since Macmahon took over the roles of Mine Operator and SSE, there have been 4 incidents at the mine requiring reporting to the regulator. All these incidents were reported to the regulator. No claims relating to these incidents have been received.
