ADD AGM Notice of Meeting
The Equity Securities must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has two classes of Equity Securities on issue, being quoted ordinary shares and unlisted options.
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A is outlined in Listing Rule 7.2A.2. This rule provides that Eligible Entities which have obtained Shareholder approval at an annual general meeting, my issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated according to the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(a) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(b) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
(c) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and
-
(d) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
D is 10%
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of ordinary shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
6.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this resolution.
(a) Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
- (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 (five) ASX trading days of the date in paragraph 5.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(b) Date of Issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
- (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
(ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid).
(10% Placement Capacity Period).
(c) Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If the resolution in Item 6 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

ADD AGM Notice of Meeting
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A2, on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

| Funds raised | $79,874 | $159,748 | $319,496 |
- The number of shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issue under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
Variable A is 53,249,456 which equates to the Shares currently on issue at 9 October 2017 (63,799,237), less shares issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and not approved by Shareholders of 7,987,418 and those shares issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 of 2,562,363.
-
The market price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 9 October 2017.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of shares under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
The Company has issued the following Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 - 10,549,781 Shares on 4 August 2017; 18,000,000 Shares on 7 July 2017; 7,000,000 Shares on 7 July 2017; and 4,000,000 Options on 28 April 2017.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-

ITEM 8: Approval for sale of Tapan Project
8.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 10.1 requires that the Company obtain shareholder approval in relation to a sale of a substantial asset such as the Tapan Project to a director and associates, with shareholders to be provided with a report on the sale from an independent expert regarding whether the sale is fair and reasonable to shareholders whose votes are not to be disregarded.
The Company proposes to sell the Tapan Project by way of share sale of its wholly owned subsidiary PT Prima Perkasa Abadi ("PPA") to a Company director Haryono Eddyarto and an entity known as PT Harner which is owned by him.
The Company engaged Leadenhall Corporate Advisory Pty Ltd as independent expert who has advised that the proposed sale is fair and reasonable to shareholders whose votes are not to be disregarded.
8. 2 Proposed Sale Terms
The proposed sale of the Tapan Project interest was announced to ASX on 12 October 2017.
Under the terms of the proposed sale, and the Company is entitled to receive the following:
-
US$18,915.19, being cash in the bank accounts of PPA
-
Extinguishment of a loan of A$495,954 owing by the Company to PT Harner
-
Extinguishment of loan interest of A$198,869 owing from the Company to Mr Eddyarto
In return, the Company will transfer ownership of its shares in PPA, which carries with it the Tapan Project and in addition the loan balance which PPA owes to the Company of US$89,698 will be extinguished.
The financial net effect of the proposed sale is that (using an Australia:US exchange rate of 78 cents) the sale of the Tapan Project is effectively occurring at a price of approximately A$600,000.
The proposed sale is conditional on shareholder approval. It is also conditional on the following as well as some procedural aspects:
-
Announcement in a daily Indonesian language newspaper
-
Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources approval
-
BKPM (Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board) approval
-
Indonesian Ministry of Law and Human Rights application
The current expectation is that the conditions ought be satisfied in December 2017/January 2018 assuming that shareholder approval is obtained.
The proposed sale is subject to various provisions and warranties typical for a transaction of this nature including the following:
-
The purchasers will assume all liabilities relating to the present legal case relating to PPA and warrant that there is no claim by the purchasers relating to this or any other matter existing up to and including the date of the agreement in relation to the sale
-
The Company warrants that PPA and its assets are fully and legally owned by the Company and will make no further claim against the purchasers and/or PPA in this regard
8.3 Background to the Sale
The Tapan Project is located in West Sumatra, Indonesia, adjacent to the village of Tapan and approximately 200 km south of the West Sumatra capital, Padang. PPA holds a production permit covering an area of 199 hectares ("Ha") and an exploration permit covering an area of 2,054 Ha. The Tapan Project hosts a medium to high grade JORC-compliant thermal coal resource with an estimated 9.05 million tonnes ("Mt") present within the project area. Of this resource, 2.15 Mt is measured, 1.5 Mt is indicated and 5.4 Mt is inferred. Two initial open pit areas have been defined and the Western and Central pits have been designed to exploit the coal. PPA is currently in the process of updating the exploration permit to an approximate 400 Ha production permit.
Page | 14
ADD AGM Notice of Meeting
The Tapan Project is the subject of an ongoing legal battle which was started in 2013. Title to the project is being disputed by former shareholders of PPA. The most recent verdict, dated 22 December 2015, issued by the High Court of Jakarta was in favour of PPA. However, this decision has been appealed in the Supreme Court of Indonesia. There is therefore some uncertainty as to whether PPA will be able to retain the project and/or the costs required to do so.
8.4 Rationale for the Sale
The directors have reviewed the Company’s assets and concluded that the Indonesian Coal assets are not appropriate for Adavale. The Board foresee a difficult path for management to create upside potential and further the possible litigation downside risk still remains on this asset.
The Company is not well suited to this risk and other parties, such as local Indonesian Energy businesses, are much better at managing this exposure.
As at 30 June 2017, current liabilities of the Company were A$1,027,598 and current assets were A$166,470. The proposed transaction will assist in reducing this imbalance and improve the financial position of the Company.
The Company has recorded the carrying value out of the Tapan Project in its accounts as at 30 June 2017 at A$100,000. This compares to a preferred valuation of A$477,000 determined by Al Maynard & Associates Pty Ltd accompanying the independent expert report. Accordingly the proposed sale is at a price which exceeds each of these values.
The proposed sale will enable the Company to focus on its other main asset being the Lake Surprise Project in South Australia.
8.5 Regulatory Aspects
Given that the proposed sale is conditional on the Company obtaining shareholder approval as required by the ASX Listing Rules, if the Resolution is not passed then the proposed sale cannot proceed.
As set out below in the text to the Resolution, the Company will disregard any votes cast on the Resolution by Mr Eddyarto and his Associates. Mr Eddyarto has disclosed to ASX that he has an interest in 4,238,778 shares in the Company which represents a 6.6% interest.
The Directors (excluding Mr Eddyarto who makes no recommendation due to his conflict of interest) recommend that you vote in favour of this resolution
8.6 Voting Exclusion Statement
The Company will disregard any votes cast on the subject resolution by Mr Haryono Eddyarto and/or his Associates. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form, by a person who is proxy for a person who is entitled to vote or, if it is cast in accordance with the direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides, by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote.

The Directors Adavale Resources Limited Level 9, 115 Pitt Street Sydney NSW 2000
Dear Directors,
Independent Expert’s Report for Adavale Resources Limited
1. Introduction
Adavale Resources Limited (“ Adavale ”) is a public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ ASX ”) with interests in uranium tenements in South Australia and thermal coal tenements in West Sumatra Indonesia, adjacent to the village of Tapan (“ Tapan Project ”). The Tapan Project is 100% owned by Adavale via PT Prima Perkasa Abadi (“ PPA ”). Adavale also holds a 40% interest in an Indonesian joint venture company, PT Adavale Harner Resources (“ PT AHR ”), which was established to explore projects in Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Mr Haryono Eddyarto, the executive chairman of Adavale owns an approximate 6% interest in the shares of Adavale as well as 60% of PT AHR.
On 5 October 2017, Adavale and Mr Eddyarto entered into a memorandum of understanding (“ MOU ”) whereby Adavale would sell the Tapan Project, by way of the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary PPA, to Mr Eddyarto and his associated entities, in exchange for total consideration of approximately $0.6 million (“ Consideration ”) comprising cash and the extinguishing of net liabilities currently owing to PT AHR and Mr Eddyarto by Adavale (“ Proposed Transaction ”).
Further information regarding the Proposed Transaction is set out in Section 1 of this report.
2. Purpose of the report
Since Mr Eddyarto is a related party and the value of the consideration is in excess of 5% of the audited net assets of Adavale, an independent expert’s report (“ IER ”) is required by the directors of Adavale to assesses whether the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to non-associated Adavale shareholders (“ Shareholders ”) in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.10.2 issued by the ASX (“ Listing Rule 10 ”).
Further information regarding the purpose of this report is provided in Section 2 of this report.
3. Basis of evaluation
In order to assess whether the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to Shareholders in accordance
with Listing Rule 10 we have:
-
♦ Assessed it as fair if the value of the Consideration is equal to or greater than the value of PPA
-
♦ Assessed it as reasonable if it is fair, or if despite not being fair, the advantages to Shareholders outweigh the disadvantages
Further details of the basis of evaluation are provided in Section 2 of this report.

4. Analysis of fairness
In order to assess whether the Proposed Transaction is fair, we have compared our assessed fair market value of PPA with the Consideration as set out below.
Table 1 : Assessment of fairness
| A$'000 | Low High Mid |
|---|---|
| Fair market value of PPA Consideration Net financial benefit (loss) to Adavale |
277 643 460 579 579 579 |
303 (64) 119 |
Source: Leadenhall analysis
Since the Consideration is within the fair market value range of PPA, the Proposed Transaction is fair to Shareholders.
The only assets of PPA upon completion will be the Tapan Project and related working capital. In determining the fair market value of PPA, we commissioned an independent valuation of the Lake Surprise and Tapan Projects by technical expert Al Maynard & Associates Pty Ltd (“ Maynard ”). Maynard has previously prepared a valuation report in respect of all of the projects of Adavale and has updated this analysis as set out in Appendix 4. We have confirmed that Maynard is independent of Adavale and competent in the technical assessment of exploration projects.
Further details of our valuation approach and assumptions are set out in Section 5.2 of our detailed report.
The Consideration comprises cash and the extinguishment of certain obligations between Adavale and Mr Eddyarto and his related parties. In determining the fair market value of the Consideration we have utilised the audited net book value of these amounts as there is nothing that we are aware of which would indicate the fair market value would be different from the carrying value. The total value of the Consideration is $579,110 as set out below.
Table 2 : Summary of Consideration
| A$'000 | Amount |
|---|---|
| Extinguishment of loan payable to PT AHR Extinguishment of accrued interest payable to Mr Eddyarto Extinguishment of receivable from PPA Total |

| 579.1 | |

5. Analysis of reasonableness
In accordance with regulatory guidelines, we have defined the Proposed Transaction as being reasonable if it is fair, or if despite not being fair, the overall advantages of the proposal outweigh its disadvantages to Shareholders. As the Proposed Transaction is fair it is therefore reasonable. However, we have also considered the advantages and disadvantages to Shareholders of the Proposed Transaction.
Advantages
The main advantages of the Proposed Transaction to Shareholders are:
- ♦ Improves financial position – the company currently has net current liabilities of approximately $0.9 million. If the Proposed Transaction proceeds, approximately $0.6 million in net liabilities will be extinguished which improve the current financial position and may facilitate access to additional funding in order to undertake additional exploration of the Australian uranium assets in the future.
Page 3 of 28
Adavale Resources Limited Independent Expert’s Report and Financial Services Guide 30 October 2017
==> picture [143 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
- ♦ In line with stated strategy - Following a recent review of the business, the board of Adavale concluded that the future focus of the business and its future fund raising will be on Australian uranium assets due to the limited perceived upside potential and a likely downside risks associated with the Indonesian coal interest. In the case of the Tapan project this is compounded by the continued risk associated with the ongoing litigation for the project. The Proposed Transaction therefore facilitates an exit from the Tapan Project at a premium to the carrying value of the project.
Disadvantages
The main disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction to Shareholders are:
-
♦ Loss of exposure to Tapan Project – Shareholders will no longer have exposure to the Tapan Project and any future upside to the project and/or Indonesian coal prices to the extent the future value of the projects exceeds the Consideration.
-
♦ Full process not undertaken – No formal sales process was undertaken for the Tapan Project due to the costs associated with such a process and because the board believed that there were few potential buyers of the projects in light of the legal risks and location of the project. The board’s view is supported by the fact that Adavale announced its intended exit from the project July 2017 and no one has approached Adavale in respect of Tapan or any other assets. Furthermore, as part of the completion conditions, the transaction must be announced in Indonesian language newspaper which may also draw out any potential counter offers for the project.
6. Opinion
In our opinion, the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to Shareholders.
We have evaluated the Proposed Transaction for the Shareholders as a whole. We have not considered its effect on the particular circumstances of individual investors. Due to their personal circumstances, individual investors may place a different emphasis on various aspects of the Proposed Transaction from the one adopted in this report. Accordingly, individuals may reach a different conclusion to ours on whether the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable. If in doubt investors should consult an independent financial adviser about the impact of this Proposed Transaction on their specific financial circumstances.
This opinion should be read in conjunction with our detailed report which sets out our scope, analysis and findings in more detail.
Yours faithfully

2 SCOPE
2.1 Purpose of the report
ASX Listing Rule 10.1 requires a listed entity to obtain shareholders’ approval before it disposes a substantial asset to a related party. The Notice of Meeting sent to shareholders advising them of such a transaction must include a report from an independent expert stating whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to non-associated shareholders. An asset is considered to be substantial if its value, or the consideration being paid for it, is 5% or more of the equity in the listed entity, as set out in its latest accounts lodged with the ASX.
Since Mr Eddyarto is a related party and the value of the consideration is in excess of 5% of the audited net assets of Adavale, an independent expert’s report is required pursuant to Listing Rule 10. As a result, the independent directors of Adavale have requested Leadenhall to prepare an independent expert’s report in accordance with Listing Rule 10 advising whether, in our opinion, the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to Shareholders. This report is to accompany the notice of meeting (“ NOM ”) to be sent to Shareholders in order to assist in their decision whether to vote for, or against, the Proposed Transaction.
2.2 Basis of evaluation
The ASX Listing Rules do not define the term ‘fair and reasonable’ and provide no guidance on what should be considered when assessing whether a proposed transaction is fair and reasonable. However, guidance on what an independent expert should consider and how ‘fair and reasonable’ should be defined is contained in Regulatory Guide 111: Content of Expert Reports (“ RG 111 ”) issued by ASIC which states that there should be separate assessments of whether a transaction is ‘fair’ and whether it is ‘reasonable’. Accordingly, we have considered the concepts of “fairness” and “reasonableness” separately as described below.
Fairness
According to RG 111.57 ‘ a proposed related party transaction is ‘fair’ if the value of the financial benefit to be provided by the entity to the related party is equal to or less than the value of the consideration being provided to the entity ’. This comparison should be made ‘ assuming a knowledgeable and willing, but not anxious, buyer and a knowledgeable and willing, but not anxious, seller acting at arm’s length.’
We have therefore assessed the Proposed Transaction as fair if the value of the Consideration is equal to or greater than the value of PPA (including the Tapan Project).
We have assessed the value of PPA using the concept of fair market value, which is defined by the International Glossary of Business Valuation Terms as:
The price, expressed in terms of cash equivalents, at which property would change hands between a hypothetical willing and able buyer and a hypothetical willing and able seller, acting at arm’s length in an open and unrestricted market, when neither is under compulsion to buy or sell and when both have reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts.
We consider this to be consistent with the definition of value contained in RG 111.57 and common market practice.
Special value is defined as the amount a specific purchaser is willing to pay in excess of fair market value. A specific purchaser may be willing to pay a premium over fair market value as a result of potential economies of scale, reduction in competition or other synergies they may enjoy arising from the acquisition of the asset. However, to the extent a pool of hypothetical purchasers could all achieve the same level of synergies the value of those synergies may be included in fair market value. Our assessed value of PPA does not include any special value in accordance with RG 111.

Reasonableness
In accordance with RG 111, we have defined the Proposed Transaction as being reasonable if it is fair, or if despite not being fair, Leadenhall believes that there are sufficient reasons for Shareholders to vote in favour of the proposal. We have therefore considered whether the advantages to Shareholders of the Proposed Transaction outweigh the disadvantages. To assess the reasonableness of the Proposed Transaction we have considered the following significant factors recommended by RG 111.62:
-
♦ The impact of the transaction on the financial situation and solvency of Adavale
-
♦ Opportunity costs
-
♦ The alternative options available to Adavale and the likelihood of those options occurring
-
♦ The bargaining position of Adavale
-
♦ Whether there is selective treatment of any security holder, particularly the related party
-
♦ Any special value of the transaction to Adavale
We have also considered the other significant advantages and disadvantages to Shareholders of the Proposed Transaction.
2.3 Individual circumstances
We have evaluated the Proposed Transaction for Shareholders as a whole. We have not considered its effect on the particular circumstances of individual investors. Due to their personal circumstances, individual investors may place a different emphasis on various aspects of the Proposed Transaction from the one adopted in this report. Accordingly, individuals may reach a different conclusion to ours on whether the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable. If in doubt investors should consult an independent financial adviser about the impact of this Proposed Transaction on their specific financial circumstances.

3 PROFILE OF PPA
3.1 Introduction
Adavale is a mining exploration company with interests in uranium tenements in Lake Surprise, South Australia and, through PPA, two thermal coal tenements in Tapan, Indonesia. These tenements are currently being evaluated with a view to identify and develop commercially viable mining projects.
Adavale also holds a 40% interest in an Indonesian joint venture company, PT AHR, which was established to explore projects in Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Following a recent review of the business, the board of Adavale concluded that the future focus of the business and its future fund raising will be on Australian uranium assets due to the limited perceived upside potential and a likely downside risks associated with the Indonesian coal interests. As a result, the board has undertaken a process to sell its interest in PPA and there is not expected to be any ongoing operating activity at PT AHR.
3.2 History
A brief history of PPA and Adavale is set out in the table below:
| Year | Event |
|---|---|
| 2009 | Expansion of the company’s mining and exploration activities beyond its Australian assets, through the acquisition of rights to two Indonesian thermal coal projects, “Tapan” and “Jambi” in South Sumatra, Indonesia. |
| 2011 | Further expansion within Indonesia through its wholly-owned Indonesian subsidiary ANR with the signing of joint venture agreements on concessions located in east and south Kalimantan. These operations were run through its 60% owned (at the time) joint venture entity, PT AHR. Acquired PPA, the owners of the Tapan coal concession in West Sumatra. |
| 2012 - 2013 | Reduced stake in PT AHR from 60% to 40% with the other shareholder (Mr Haryono Eddyarto) increasing his stake to 60%. Restructure of major shareholding and governance of the company with Mr Eddyarto becoming the largest shareholder and Executive Chairman of the company. Mr Eddyarto also entered into an agreement to provide a convertible loan facility to the company, replacing the existing facility provided by a previous major shareholder. |
| 2017 | ♦ JML subscribes for 25 million Adavale shares at $0.01 per share in addition to the acquisition of 12 million Adavale shares from other shareholders ♦ Enters into new subscription agreement with Addchance Holdings Ltd ♦ Announce strategic review of Indonesian coal assets including Tapan project ♦ Announcement of the Proposed Transaction |

3.3 The Tapan Project
The Tapan project is located in West Sumatra, Indonesia, adjacent to the village of Tapan and approximately 200km south of the West Sumatra capital, Padang. Adavale (through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PPA) holds a production permit covering an area of 199 hectares (“ Ha ”) and an exploration permit covering an area of 2,054 Ha. The project hosts a medium to high grade JORC-compliant thermal coal resource with an estimated 9.05 million tonnes (“ Mt ”) present within the project area. Of this resource, 2.15 Mt is measured,
Page 11 of 28
Adavale Resources Limited Independent Expert’s Report and Financial Services Guide 30 October 2017
==> picture [143 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
1.5 Mt is indicated and 5.4 Mt is inferred. Two initial open pit areas have been defined and the Western and Central pits have been designed to exploit the coal. No recent exploration activities have been undertaken.
The Tapan project is also the subject of an ongoing legal battle which was started in 2013. Title to the project is being disputed by former shareholders of PPA. The most recent verdict, dated 22 December 2015, issued by the High Court of Jakarta was in favour of Adavale. However, this decision has been appealed in the Supreme Court in Indonesia. There is therefore some uncertainty as to whether PPA will be able to retain the project and/or the costs that may be incurred to continue the legal proceedings.
Following a recent review of the business, the Directors of Adavale have concluded that the Indonesian Coal asset interests are no longer an appropriate asset for Adavale in light of the limited upside potential and a likely downside risk, compounded by the continued risk associated with the ongoing litigation for the project. It was considered Adavale was not well suited to this form and level of risk and other parties were much better at managing this exposure, more particularly an Indonesian managed party.
3.4 Directors
The current Board of Directors of Adavale and PPA comprises:

3.5 Financial performance
3.5.1 PPA
We have been provided with the historical financial statements for PPA on a standalone basis by Adavale management. PPA’s financial performance for the years ended 30 June 2015, 2016 and 2017 are presented in the table below.

In relation to the above, we note that PPA has been loss-making over the period with no revenue generated as the Tapan project remained in the exploration phase although no recent exploration has been undertaken at the project over the period. The financial performance has been restated to include the impairment of Tapan-related exploration expenditure in FY15 and FY17 which had been recorded in the books of Adavale.

In relation to the historical financial performance of Adavale set out above, we note the following:
-
♦ As Adavale is a mining exploration company, losses and negative operating cash flows are expected until a commercially viable asset is successfully identified and developed
-
♦ The majority of operating expenses consist of directors’ salaries for the management and administration of the company, exploration costs, review and compliance costs associated with the tenements and legal fees relating to the dispute over Adavale’s title to the Tapan projects. The company also impaired the carrying value of its exploration and evaluation assets in FY14 and FY15 to levels deemed recoverable by the directors. As at 30 June 2017, the directors reassessed the carrying value of Tapan to be $100,000, which resulted in an impairment charge of $316,500.
-
♦ No further share of losses from the investment in the joint venture, PT AHR, have been recognised after FY15 as the equity investment in PT AHR had been fully written down in FY15

PPA’s financial position has mainly been comprised of cash, related party loans payable to PT Harner and Adavale (for costs incurred in relation to the Tapan project) and other payables. The above financial position, on a standalone basis, has been restated by Adavale management to include the $100,000 ($416,500 in FY15 and FY16) carrying value of the Tapan project which is recorded in the books of Adavale.
The $140,000 loan from Adavale as at 30 June 2017 arose from the $1.0 million convertible loan provided by JML. $860,000 was used to repay an existing loan from Mr Eddyarto and $140,000 was transferred to PPA to reduce the balance of a loan from PT Harner to PPA.
As part of the Proposed Transaction, the cash balance in PPA will be retained by Adavale and the amounts payable to PT Harner and Adavale will be extinguished.

Source: Adavale
In relation to the historical financial position of Adavale set out above, we note the following:
-
♦ The company has negative net assets, a working capital deficiency and insufficient cash to continue to fund operating losses in the near-term without additional financial support from other investors
-
♦ Exploration and evaluation assets are the predominant asset on Adavale’s balance sheet. As at 30 June 2017, the directors revised the carrying value of Tapan to $100,000. The Lake Surprise tenements were retained at a value of $391,000. In light of the strategic review of the Tapan project previously announced, the investment was reclassified to current as available for sale. We note that the audit opinion was qualified in respect of the carrying values of both projects as the auditor was unable to obtain sufficient evidence to support the values assessed by the directors.
-
♦ The main components of trade and other payables are a liability to PT Harner, a related entity of Mr Eddyarto for expenses paid on behalf of Adavale and interest accrued on the convertible loan provided by Mr Eddyarto

3.7 Capital structure
PPA is 100% owned by Adavale. There are no options or other instruments on issue for PPA.
Adavale shares are thinly traded with recent prices over the past six months generally ranging between 1 cent and 1.5 cents per share which implies a market capitalisation of approximately $0.5 million to $0.8 million. Due to the lack of liquidity in Adavale’s shares and the relatively small size of PPA and the Tapan Project relative to the overall business, the Adavale share price does not provide any meaningful look through value to the value of PPA or the Tapan Project.

4 VALUATION METHODOLOGY
4.1 Available valuation methodologies
To estimate the fair market value of PPA we have considered common market practice and the valuation methodologies recommended in RG111. There are a number of methods that can be used to value a business including:
-
♦ The discounted cash flow method
-
♦ The capitalisation of earnings method
-
♦ Asset based methods
-
♦ Analysis of share market trading
-
♦ Industry specific rules of thumb
Each of these methods is appropriate in certain circumstances and often more than one approach is applied, at least as a secondary cross-check to a primary method. The choice of methods depends on factors such as the nature of the business being valued, the return on the assets employed in the business, the valuation methodologies usually applied to value such businesses and the availability of the required information. A detailed description of these methods and when they are appropriate is provided in Appendix 2.
4.2 Selection of valuation methodology
In selecting an appropriate valuation methodology to value PPA we have considered the following factors:
-
♦ PPA is loss-making and does not have any ongoing earnings, thus the capitalisation of earnings approach is not relevant.
-
♦ The Tapan Project is too early stage and the outlook is too speculative for a discounted cash flow approach to provide a meaningful conclusion.
-
♦ PPA is not listed and share market trading in Adavale shares does not provide any reliable indication of the value of PPA.
-
♦ PPA’s only assets are cash and its interest in the Tapan Project. The Tapan Project has been independently valued by a technical mining expert for the purpose of the Proposed Transaction. These assets can therefore be valued reliably individually and aggregated using an asset approach.
Accordingly, we are of the opinion that the most appropriate methodology to value PPA is an asset based method.

5 VALUATION OF PPA
5.1 Background
We have assessed the fair market value of PPA using the net assets on a going concern basis
5.2 Net asset approach
We set out below our assessment of the current fair market value of Adavale, based on the net asset approach.
Table 9: Net asset based valuation of PPA
| A$'000 | Low High Midpoint |
|---|---|
| Cash Tapan Project Other assets and liabilities Net assets |
- - - 294 660 477 (17) (17) (17) |
| 277 643 460 | |
Source: Leadenhall analysis
The fair market value of each of the net assets owned by PPA are discussed below.
5.2.1 Tapan Project
Leadenhall commissioned an independent valuation of the Tapan Project by technical expert Al Maynard & Associates Pty (“ Maynard ”) Limited. We have confirmed that Maynard is independent of Adavale and competent in the technical assessment of exploration projects.
In determining the value of the Tapan Project, Maynard has utilised a geoscience factor model which ranks and weights the geological aspects of the project. This approach is based on five main characteristics of mineral properties: on-property factors; off-property factors; anomalies; geology and markets. These are subdivided into a number of subcategories for each factor which are used to determine the value of the property. The subcategories are prioritized and assigned relative value factors of 1.3 to 10. The value of a property is based on the assessed weightings and rankings and is ultimately influenced by the expertise of geologist and financial markets (including commodity markets, financial markets).
In determining the value of the Tapan Project, Maynard has relied on estimates of resources identified by previous exploration of the project areas. Exploration indicates that the Tapan project contains a coal resource of 9.05 Mt of which 2.15Mt is measured, 1.5Mt is indicated and 5.4Mt is inferred. These mineral resources were then multiplied by current commodity prices with a discount applied to the value to reflect the prospectivity of the resource, the economic feasibility of the project, likelihood and quantum of value to be extracted from the resource, and profitability of similar projects and the experience of the valuer. For the Tapan resource, the current Central Appalachian price of thermal coal was utilised as a starting point for determining an appropriate price per tonne to be applied to the valuation after including a discount to reflect the above-mentioned factors.
For the purpose of our analysis we have relied upon the Maynard analysis as summarised below:
Table 10: Summary of independent valuation of Projects
| Low High Preferred |
|
|---|---|
| Assessed value Total reserves and resources (tonnes) Implied valuer per / tonne |
294 660 477 9,050 9,050 9,050 |
| $ 0.03$ 0.07$ 0.05 | |

Further details of the Maynard valuation are set out in Appendix 4.

Adavale Resources Limited Independent Expert’s Report and Financial Services Guide 30 October 2017
==> picture [143 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
5.2.2 Other assets or liabilities
As part of the Proposed Transaction, the cash balance in PPA will be retained by Adavale and the amounts payable to PT Harner and Adavale will be extinguished. We have therefore excluded these balances from our consideration of the financial benefit to Mr Eddyarto. We have included the book value of other liabilities as set out in Section 3.5.1.
We note that the ongoing legal issues in respect of the project is likely to result in further legal and other costs being incurred in order to re-commence exploration activities for the project. Maynard has not included any future costs in the valuation of the Tapan Project nor have we allowed for any additional liabilities in estimating the fair market value of the net assets of PPA. If we were to do so this would reduce the value of PPA.
5.3 Cross-check
Adavale shares are thinly traded with recent prices over the past six months generally ranging between 1 cent and 1.5 cents per share which implies a market capitalisation of approximately $0.5 million to $0.8 million. Whilst we do not consider that the Adavale share price provides any meaningful look through value to the value of PPA or the Tapan Project, the overall market capitalisation implies only moderate value for the company as a whole which does not imply any significant value is being attributed to PPA by the market.
5.4 Conclusion
Based on the above analysis, we have concluded that the value of PPA is $0.3 million to $0.6 million.

6 EVALUATION
6.1 Fairness
In order to assess whether the Proposed Transaction is fair, we have compared our assessed fair market value of PPA with the Consideration as set out below.
Table 11 : Assessment of fairness
| A$'000 | Low High Mid |
|---|---|
| Fair market value of PPA Consideration Net financial benefit (loss) to Adavale |
277 643 460 579 579 579 |
303 (64) 119 |
Source: Leadenhall analysis
Since the Consideration is within the fair market value range of PPA, the Proposed Transaction is fair to Shareholders.
6.2 Reasonableness
In accordance with regulatory guidelines, we have defined the Proposed Transaction as being reasonable if it is fair, or if despite not being fair, the overall advantages of the proposal outweigh its disadvantages to Adavale shareholders. As the Proposed Transaction is fair it is therefore reasonable. However, we have also considered the advantages and disadvantages to shareholders of the Proposed Transaction.
6.2.1 Advantages
The main advantages of the Proposed Transaction to Shareholders are:
-
♦ Improves financial position – the company currently has net current liabilities of approximately $0.9 million. If the Proposed Transaction proceeds, approximately $0.6 million in net liabilities will be extinguished which improve the current financial position and may facilitate access to additional funding in order to undertake additional exploration of the Australian uranium assets in the future.
-
♦ In line with stated strategy - Following a recent review of the business, the board of Adavale concluded that the future focus of the business and its future fund raising will be on Australian uranium assets due to the limited perceived upside potential and a likely downside risks associated with the Indonesian coal interest. In the case of the Tapan project this is compounded by the continued risk associated with the ongoing litigation for the project. The Proposed Transaction therefore facilitates an exit from the Tapan Project at an implied premium to the carrying value of the project.
6.2.2 Disadvantages
The main disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction to Shareholders are:
-
♦ Loss of exposure to Tapan Project – Shareholders will no longer have exposure to the Tapan Project and any future upside to the project and/or Indonesian coal prices to the extent the future value of the projects exceeds the Consideration
-
♦ Full process not undertaken – No formal sales process was undertaken for the Tapan Project due to the costs associated with such a process and because the board believed that there were few potential buyers of the projects in light of the legal risks and location of the project. The board’s view is supported by the fact that Adavale announced its intended exit from the project July 2017 and no one has approached Adavale in respect of Tapan or any other assets. Furthermore, as part of the completion conditions, the transaction must be announced in Indonesian language newspaper which may also draw out any potential counter offers for the project

6.3 Opinion
In our opinion, the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to Shareholders.
We have evaluated the Proposed Transaction for the Shareholders as a whole. We have not considered its effect on the particular circumstances of individual investors. Due to their personal circumstances, individual investors may place a different emphasis on various aspects of the Proposed Transaction from the one adopted in this report. Accordingly, individuals may reach a different conclusion to ours on whether the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable. If in doubt investors should consult an independent financial adviser about the impact of this Proposed Transaction on their specific financial circumstances.

: VALUATION METHODOLOGIES
In preparing this report we have considered valuation methods commonly used in practice and those recommended by RG 111. These methods include:

The selection of an appropriate valuation method to estimate fair market value should be guided by the actual practices adopted by potential acquirers of the company involved.
Discounted Cash Flow Method
Description
Of the various methods noted above, the discounted cash flow method has the strongest theoretical standing. It is also widely used in practice by corporate acquirers and company analysts. The discounted cash flow method estimates the value of a business by discounting expected future cash flows to a present value using an appropriate discount rate. A discounted cash flow valuation requires:
-
♦ A forecast of expected future cash flows
-
♦ An appropriate discount rate
It is necessary to project cash flows over a suitable period of time (generally regarded as being at least five years) to arrive at the net cash flow in each period. For a finite life project or asset this would need to be done for the life of the project. This can be a difficult exercise requiring a significant number of assumptions such as revenue growth, future margins, capital expenditure requirements, working capital movements and taxation.
The discount rate used represents the risk of achieving the projected future cash flows and the time value of money. The projected future cash flows are then valued in current day terms using the discount rate selected.
The discounted cash flow method is often sensitive to a number of key assumptions such as revenue growth, future margins, capital investment, terminal growth and the discount rate. All of these assumptions can be highly subjective sometimes leading to a valuation conclusion presented as a range that is too wide to be useful.
Use of the Discounted Cash Flow Method
A discounted cash flow approach is usually preferred when valuing:
-
♦ Early stage companies or projects
-
♦ Limited life assets such as a mine or toll concession
-
♦ Companies where significant growth is expected in future cash flows
-
♦ Projects with volatile earnings
It may also be preferred if other methods are not suitable, for example if there is a lack of reliable evidence to support a capitalisation of earnings approach. However, it may not be appropriate if:
-
♦ Reliable forecasts of cash flow are not available and cannot be determined
-
♦ There is an inadequate return on investment, in which case a higher value may be realised by liquidating the assets than through continuing the business

Capitalisation of Earnings Method
Description
The capitalisation of earnings method is a commonly used valuation methodology that involves determining a future maintainable earnings figure for a business and multiplying that figure by an appropriate capitalisation multiple. This methodology is generally considered a short form of a discounted cash flow, where a single representative earnings figure is capitalised, rather than a stream of individual cash flows being discounted. The capitalisation of earnings methodology involves the determination of:
-
♦ A level of future maintainable earnings
-
♦ An appropriate capitalisation rate or multiple.
A multiple can be applied to any of the following measures of earnings:
Revenue – most commonly used for companies that do not make a positive EBITDA or as a cross-check of a valuation conclusion derived using another method.
EBITDA - most appropriate where depreciation distorts earnings, for example in a company that has a significant level of depreciating assets but little ongoing capital expenditure requirement.
EBITA - in most cases EBITA will be more reliable than EBITDA as it takes account of the capital intensity of the business.
EBIT - whilst commonly used in practice, multiples of EBITA are usually more reliable as they remove the impact of amortisation which is a non-cash accounting entry that does not reflect a need for future capital investment (unlike depreciation).
NPAT - relevant in valuing businesses where interest is a major part of the overall earnings of the group (e.g. financial services businesses such as banks).
Multiples of EBITDA, EBITA and EBIT are commonly used to value whole businesses for acquisition purposes where gearing is in the control of the acquirer. In contrast, NPAT (or P/E) multiples are often used for valuing minority interests in a company.
The multiple selected to apply to maintainable earnings reflects expectations about future growth, risk and the time value of money all wrapped up in a single number. Multiples can be derived from three main sources. Using the guideline public company method, market multiples are derived from the trading prices of stocks of companies that are engaged in the same or similar lines of business and that are actively traded on a free and open market, such as the ASX. The merger and acquisition method is a method whereby multiples are derived from transactions of significant interests in companies engaged in the same or similar lines of business. It is also possible to build a multiple from first principles.
Use of the Capitalisation of Earnings Method
The capitalisation of earnings method is widely used in practice. It is particularly appropriate for valuing companies with a relatively stable historical earnings pattern which is expected to continue. This method is less appropriate for valuing companies or assets if:
-
♦ There are no suitable listed company or transaction benchmarks for comparison
-
♦ The asset has a limited life
-
♦ Future earnings or cash flows are expected to be volatile
-
♦ There are negative earnings or the earnings of a business are insufficient to justify a value exceeding the value of the underlying net assets

Asset Based Methods
Description
Asset based valuation methods estimate the value of a company based on the realisable value of its net assets, less its liabilities. There are a number of asset based methods including:
-
♦ Orderly realisation
-
♦ Liquidation value
-
♦ Net assets on a going concern basis
-
♦ Replacement cost
-
♦ Reproduction cost
The orderly realisation of assets method estimates fair market value by determining the amount that would be distributed to shareholders, after payment of all liabilities including realisation costs and taxation charges that arise, assuming the company is wound up in an orderly manner. The liquidation method is similar to the orderly realisation of assets method except the liquidation method assumes the assets are sold in a shorter time frame. Since wind up or liquidation of the company may not be contemplated, these methods in their strictest form may not necessarily be appropriate. The net assets on a going concern basis method estimates the market values of the net assets of a company but does not take account of realisation costs.
The asset / cost approach is generally used when the value of the business’ assets exceeds the present value of the cash flows expected to be derived from the ongoing business operations, or the nature of the business is to hold or invest in assets. It is important to note that the asset approach may still be the relevant approach even if an asset is making a profit. If an asset is making less than an economic rate of return and there is no realistic prospect of it making an economic return in the foreseeable future, an asset approach would be the most appropriate method.
Use of Asset Based Methods
An asset-based approach is a suitable valuation method when:
-
♦ An enterprise is loss making and is not expected to become profitable in the foreseeable future
-
♦ Assets are employed profitably but earn less than the cost of capital
-
♦ A significant portion of the company’s assets are composed of liquid assets or other investments (such as marketable securities and real estate investments)
-
♦ It is relatively easy to enter the industry (for example, small machine shops and retail establishments)
Asset based methods are not appropriate if:
-
♦ The ownership interest being valued is not a controlling interest, has no ability to cause the sale of the company’s assets and the major holders are not planning to sell the company’s assets
-
♦ A business has (or is expected to have) an adequate return on capital, such that the value of its future income stream exceeds the value of its assets
Analysis of Share Trading
The most recent share trading history provides evidence of the fair market value of the shares in a company where they are publicly traded in an informed and liquid market. There should also be some similarity between the size of the parcel of shares being valued and those being traded. Where a company’s shares are publicly traded then an analysis of recent trading prices should be considered, at least as a cross-check to other valuation methods.

How to Vote on Items of Business
All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.
Appointment of Proxy
Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.
Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.
Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.
A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.
Signing Instructions for Postal Forms
Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the securityholder must sign.
Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the securityholders should sign.
Power of Attorney: If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. Delete titles as applicable.
Attending the Meeting
Bring this form to assist registration. If a representative of a corporate securityholder or proxy is to attend the meeting you will need to provide the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. A form of the certificate may be obtained from Computershare or online at www.investorcentre.com under the help tab, "Printable Forms".
Comments & Questions: If you have any comments or questions for the company, please write them on a separate sheet of paper and return with this form.
