Commentary on Results

The major operational activities during the year were as follows:

Sydney office

On 23 May 2012, Jatenergy announced significant changes to its board and management team, with the resignation of Chairman Mr Alan Broome, Managing Director,Dr Phil Hodgson and Non-Executive Director Mr Ross Kestel. The outgoing directors were replaced by Mr Tony Crimmins as Executive Chairman and Mr Richard Pritchard as a Non-Executive Director. These changes resulted in a flatter, more efficient management structure, which has significantly reduced ongoing operating costs associated with the company’s Sydney office. Between May and June, monthly staffing costs fell by over 50%. Together with other savings, these cost reductions are expected to have a significant positive impact on the company’s future cash flows.

Jakarta office

During the year Jatenergy added staff members to its Jakarta office to assist with the development and commercialisation of its Indonesian assets.The company is looking to move its Jakarta office to new premises to lower its rental costs.

PT Barata Energy

PT Barata Energy is a local Indonesian entity, wholly owned by Jatenergy, to hold projects to mining projects in Indonesia. PT Barata Energy received its investment licence from the foreign investment regulatory authorities

(the BKPM), and its Deed of Establishment on 29 July 2011. Final incorporation, an administrative process involving the set up of a local bank account, capital injection and final clearance from the Ministry of Law and Human Rights,is still pending. Under Indonesian law, once PT Barata Energy is incorporated it will be able to enter into contracts. We have already received Clearance from Ministry of Law & Human Rights with Bank accounts set up.

Atan Bara project

The Atan Bara project is a contractual arrangement between PT Barata Energy and PT Atan Bara Sejahtera (ABS). Under this arrangement, PT Barata Energy has exclusive rights to conduct coal mining, and an exclusive right to purchase or market any coal mined from the Atan Bara project.

A production licence (or IUP Produksi ) for the Atan Bara project was granted by the Indonesian government in February 2012, following which Jatenergy completed drilling and topographical surveys for an initial mine plan. Following a drop in the price of Indonesian coal earlier this year, the value of the Atan Bara project has been impaired by $1,594,094 and plans to bring Atan Bara into production have been put on hold.

Katingan project

Blackrock Resources Pty Limited holds a conditional share purchase agreement to acquire 80% of the shares of PT Coal Soil Brik. The timing of completion of this agreement depends on converting PT Coal Soil Brik into a foreign investment vehicle and obtaining the necessary government and regulatory approvals. Completion of the transaction is targeted by the end of 2012.

The book value of the Katingan project remains unchanged from prior year at $1,478,235. The Directors are of the opinion that this figure significantly understates the true value of the Katingan asset, which the board estimates to be between US$3–5 million. This estimate cannot be reflected in the Company’s accounts owing to current accounting standards. The estimated valuation is based on negotiations for the sale of the concession, cash flow model and valuation of coal based on target mineralisation of 38mt at 10c/tonne, and is predictive in character. It may be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties, and a formal valuation may differ materially. The Company is looking to sell the Katingan asset and is currently in negotiations with several interested parties.

Jongkang I and II projects

In late 2011, PT Barata Energy entered into a joint venture with CV Wijaya Mulia for a 30/70 joint operation and 100% off-take of coal from the Jongkang I project, near Tenggarong, East Kalimantan. The JV arrangement requires Jatenergy to provide working capital to earn 30% of the net margin for the coal, as well as to undertake full marketing and sales rights to the coal. A production license for the Jongkang project was granted by the Indonesian government in November 2011 and production began in early 2012.

In November 2011, PT Barata Energy entered into a joint venture with CV Karya Putra Bersama for a 30/70 joint operation and 100% off-take of coal from the Jongkang II project, near Tenggarong, East Kalimantan. The JV arrangement require Jatenergy to provide working capital to earn 30% of the net margin for the coal, as well as to undertake full marketing and sales rights to the coal. As an existing coal mining operation, production from Jongkang II commenced immediately.

Both Jongkang I and II offer high quality thermal coal with high gross calorific values of ~6,500 kcal/kg (adb), sulphur below 1% and low ash and moisture. In March 2012, Jatenergy completed its first shipments of coal from the Jongkang projects. Total revenues from these two projects to June 2012 were $291,000, with the majority of this total coming in the March quarter.

Following a drop in the price of Indonesian coal, a decision was made to stockpile coal from the projects and suspend some operations until the coal price improves. Operations at both Jongkang I and II remain suspended until the coal price increases, following which revenues from the production and sale of coal from the projects are expected to resume.

Queensland coal assets

Jatenergy is currently in due diligence on two coal exploration permits and fourcoal exploration permit applications (non-competing) in the Bowen and Galilee basins in Queenslandfrom Spinifex Rural Management Pty Limited and Demycoal Pty Limited, for a total consideration of $340,000 in cash and 12.5 million Jatenergy shares.

The company is currently looking to find JV partners or sell its Queensland coal assets as part of its strategy of moving away from long-term coal projects to more short-term cash return projects that can be brought into production with relatively modest investments. There has been no value assigned to the Queensland coal assets on the balance sheet at 30 June 2012.

Coal Plus

On 18 July 2012, Jatenergy announced that it had licensed the Coal Plus coal upgrading technology from Zhengzhou Zhongneng Metallurgy Co Ltd (ZZM).

Jatenergy’s licence covers an initial three year mandate period for use of the Coal Plus technology in Indonesia, Southeast Asia and Oceania. The mandate period is divided into three stages:

  • Stage 1: Jatenergy will have an initial one year period to find and secure a suitable coal resource for application of the technology.

  • Stage 2: Upon successful completion of Stage 1, the licence will be extended for two years to enable Jatenergy to develop a full feasibility study in collaboration with ZZM. The feasibility study will include the necessary contacts and commitments to commence a pilot or full-scale project using Coal Plus.

  • Stage 3: Upon successful completion of Stage 2, the licence will be novated into an irrevocable and exclusive contract, allowing construction, start up and commissioning of the Coal Plus plant.

Jatenergy will, via its joint venture partners, source financing and bear financial responsibility to conduct the full feasibility study and construct and commission the Coal Plus plant.

As consideration for providing its technology, ZZM will be issued with shares in Jatenergy. The number of shares to be issued will be determined upon completion of Due Diligence. It is expected that the first tranche of shares will be below the 15% of the issued capital of the company. If it is above this amount then shareholder approval will be sought at each stage of the agreement.

Indonesian biofuel project

As at 30 June 2012, Jatenergy Limited, through its 70% investment in PT Jatoil Waterland, had over 2000 hectares of jatropha plantations under cultivation. The total production of crude jatropha oil for the year ending 30 June 2012 was over 1000 tonnes, with the majority of production targeted for use in power generation or in the production of renewable aviation fuel. PT Jatoil Waterland is now economically selfsupporting and is in the process of finalising permanent off-take agreements.

The above associates are incorporated in Vietnam. Principal activities are producing processing and marketing jatropha based projects.

The Company announced on 24September 2010 that it would suspend further funding into its Vietnam operations, Green Energy Vietnam (GEV). The farmer contract model was proving too costly and slow to establish compared to the Indonesian plantation model. While Jatenergy will retain its 45.96% stake in GEV, if GEV is unable to raise further capital in the short to medium term, Jatenergy’s investment may be severely impaired or ultimately prove to be unrecoverable. While Jatenergy will endeavour to recover its investment in GEV, given the parameters of the asset impairment assessment process, a decision was taken to write down the investment in GEV to zero in 2011.
