CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND BALANCE SHEET COMMENTARY<br />
Cash on hand at 30 June <strong>20</strong><strong>15</strong> was $0.7 million which is $8.4 million less than the 30 June <strong>20</strong>14 balance of $9.1 million.<br />
Total interest bearing liabilities at 30 June <strong>20</strong><strong>15</strong> were $137.9 million (US$106.0 million). This represents an increase of $33.7<br />
million relative to the balance at 30 June <strong>20</strong>14 ($104.2 million; US$102.7 million). The increase of $33.7 million comprises<br />
cash ($3.9 million) and non-cash items ($29.8 million) which are explained in detail below. The movement in the amount<br />
outstanding is the US$7 million new working capital facility issued by Noble International Pte Ltd (“Noble”) and the<br />
repayment of US$3.7 million.<br />
Cash Items<br />
i. Additional funding of US$7 million provided by Noble through an additional working capital facility. The agreement<br />
was entered on 6 February <strong>20</strong><strong>15</strong> and the facility bears an annual interest rate of LIBOR + 10.5%. This was primarily<br />
utilised to fund the Group’s BNU mine development expenditure along with financing repayments due on the<br />
Group’s finance facilities.<br />
ii. Repayment of US$3.7 million to Noble under the Fuel Exclusivity Agreement Facility.<br />
Non-Cash Items<br />
i. Unrealised foreign exchange losses of $25.0 million. This unrealised loss has come about as Australian Accounting<br />
Standards requires the Company to revalue its foreign currency loans held with Noble and OCP Asia Limited<br />
(“OCP”) to AUD equivalent at each reporting date.<br />
ii. Amortisation interest rate expense on OCP Amortising Notes Facility and interest expense on convertible notes of<br />
$5.9 million. This is an accounting, non-cash adjustment. The principal outstanding year on year has not changed<br />
from the amortising notes of US$55 million and convertible notes of US$10 million.<br />
During the year the Company’s principal financiers, Noble International Pte Ltd (“Noble”) and OCP Asia Limited (“OCP<br />
Asia”) continued to demonstrate their commitment to Guildford Coal.<br />
Facilities held with Noble – Noble’s deferral of principal repayments on its facilities has allowed the Company to align the<br />
principal repayments with the BNU mine being in commercial production. This ensures that the Company can focus its<br />
working capital to BNU Mine development activities, which ultimately improves shareholders returns in the long run.<br />
i. Working capital facility: The Company agreed with Noble to defer the due date for the principle repayment and<br />
facility interest payments to 30 September <strong>20</strong><strong>15</strong>.<br />
ii. Additional working capital facility: On 6 February <strong>20</strong><strong>15</strong>, the Company entered into an additional working capital<br />
facility agreement for US$7,000,000 which was fully drawn down. The facility bore an annual interest rate of LIBOR<br />
+ 10.5%. The Company has agreed with Noble to extend the due date for the principle repayment and facility<br />
interest payments to 30 September <strong>20</strong><strong>15</strong>.<br />
iii. Debt facility: Effective 31 December <strong>20</strong>14, the Company agreed with Noble to revise principal repayment to<br />
US$2,222,222. The Company agreed with Noble to extend the due date for principle repayment and facility interest<br />
payments to 30 September <strong>20</strong><strong>15</strong>.<br />
iv. Additional debt facility: Effective 31 December <strong>20</strong>14, the Company agreed with Noble to revise principal repayment<br />
to US$3,111,111. The Company has agreed with Noble to extend the due date for principle repayment and facility<br />
interest payments to 30 September <strong>20</strong><strong>15</strong>.<br />
Between <strong>15</strong> August <strong>20</strong><strong>15</strong> (principal and interest due date) and 29 September <strong>20</strong><strong>15</strong> (date formal approval of deferral<br />
received) there were no payment demands issued by Noble.<br />
Facilities held with OCP Asia – OCP Asia’s deferral of principal repayments on its facilities has allowed the Company to<br />
align the principal repayments with the BNU mine being in commercial production. This ensures that the Company can<br />
focus its working capital on BNU mine development activities, ultimately improving shareholders returns in the long term.<br />
i. Convertible notes: Prior to year-end, the Company was in negotiations with OCP Asia to defer the convertible note<br />
maturity date and interest payments which became due on 8 July <strong>20</strong><strong>15</strong>. Following successful negotiations with<br />
OCP Asia, on 22 July <strong>20</strong><strong>15</strong> the Company submitted a formal waiver request for note holder’s formal approval of the<br />
deferral request. This was subsequently formally approved by the note holders on 21 August <strong>20</strong><strong>15</strong> on the following<br />
terms:<br />
a. Convertible note maturity date extended to 8 December <strong>20</strong><strong>15</strong> (from 8 July <strong>20</strong><strong>15</strong>);<br />
b. Payment of accrued interest which was due 8 July <strong>20</strong><strong>15</strong> deferred to the earlier of 30 September <strong>20</strong><strong>15</strong> or the<br />
date of completion of any future capital raising; and<br />
c. Adjustments to Convertible Notes and Amortising Notes detachable warrants previously issued by the<br />
Company to OCP Asia subject to shareholders’ approval. (Refer to Events Subsequent to Reporting Date for<br />
proposed changes to the convertible notes and warrants.)<br />
