CHAIRMAN’S LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
==> picture [256 x 202] intentionally omitted <==
Craig Ransley, Executive Chairman, TerraCom Limited
“TerraCom has navigated through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and is now well positioned to take advantage of the strong thermal export coal market.”
Dear Shareholders,
It is my pleasure to be able to present the TerraCom Limited (ASX: TER) (TerraCom or the Company) Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2021.
Our business, like many others, has been presented with a number of challenges throughout the financial year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Uncertainties about the pandemic and associated recoveries has meant that the Company has had to continue to assess and adapt to a constantly changing working and global environment.
Despite the challenges, I am proud of our people for their resilience and dedication to deliver the financial result in FY2021. Whilst the export coal market in which we operate has seen a year of cyclical lows as well as near record highs, all within the space of 12 months, the improved demand for thermal coal during the second half of the financial year meant the Company was able to recover and deliver a positive financial result during January 2021 to June 2021.
The transition to owner operator at the Company’s flagship mine, Blair Athol, at the end of July 2020, proved successful and cost reductions implemented immediately on transition ultimately resulted in the operation delivering a strong operating and financial performance for the reporting period. The operation has now managed a substantial and sustained reduced free on board cost base which will enable the operation to achieve strong margins at long run coal prices.
The acquisition of Universal Coal plc was finalised at the end of June 2020 and saw the Company diversify from both a geographical and client base perspective. Following this acquisition, the Group grew from a sole operation in Australia to a multi operational organisation with interests in five operations throughout Australia and South Africa.
The South African operations were negatively impacted by COVID-19, particularly during the first half of the year, as Eskom (the major South African electricity supplier) reduced offtake quantities from those contracted for all operating mines. Whilst the South African operations offer a natural market hedge as a result of fixed price contracts with Eskom, the reduced quantities saw the South African operations deliver lower than expected financial results. A shift was experienced during the last quarter of the financial year with respect to domestic supply to Eskom and all three operating mines exceeded contracted offtake quantities, signalling a shift back to pre-pandemic levels.
The Company has worked tirelessly during FY21 to refinance the Euroclear Bond. It has navigated a number of challenges along the way, including but not limited to, limitation of financiers providing funding to thermal coal companies, liquidity in debt capital markets, and COVID-19. With respect to the current debt position, the Board has been elated by the continued support from our current bondholders who have supported the Company a number of times over the years. The agreement with the current bondholders to enact a restructured finance arrangement of the existing debt removes the Company’s refinance risk and assuming the market remains strong (as it currently is), the Company looks forward to fully repaying the Euroclear Bond by the expiry of the new term, being over the next 15 months to 31 December 2022. Deleveraging the Company through the extinguishment of the debt over this time will increase the value proposition for shareholders as it should enable the Company’s balance sheet to pivot and provide an annuity stream for shareholders through sustained dividends.
Despite the challenges presented during the 2021 Financial Year, the Company is well placed to continue to grow the organisation from both an operational and financial perspective. Whilst no dividends were declared in FY2021, a return to paying dividends is a key focus for the Company, as well as debt reduction.
I would like to thank shareholders, stakeholders and current bond holders for their continued support and my fellow Directors and our management and staff for their continued work on shareholders’ behalf.
Craig Ransley Executive Chairman

MANAGING DIRECTOR UPDATE
==> picture [237 x 178] intentionally omitted <==
Danny McCarthy, Managing Director, TerraCom Limited
The 2021 Financial Year delivered a lot of highlights and setbacks and I am proud of the Company and our people for what has been delivered. Our response to COVID-19 was to ensure everyone kept their job so they had the certainty to support their families. Despite the obstacles associated with COVID-19, the performance of our people through this pandemic has been extraordinary and the Company has continued to deliver from an operational perspective. Our culture of resilience is strong, something I am incredibly proud of and grateful for.
The impacts of COVID-19 have not gone unnoticed, particularly with respect to the South African operations. The reduced supply to the major South African electricity supplier throughout Q1 to Q3 of the reporting period impacted the financial results and the ongoing lock-downs and spread of COVID-19 throughout the workforce and communities presented unique challenges to overcome.
A critical review of the South African operations was completed during the June 2021 Quarter and this resulted in the implementation of a number of governance and operational
improvements as well as the integration of the South African operations into the TerraCom management system. The South African operating mines demonstrated a positive turnaround during the June 2021 Quarter with all mines exceeding contracted offtake quantities to Eskom. This result was pleasing and demonstrates South Africa returning to pre-pandemic levels. Total managed ROM production achieved for the full financial year from the SA operations was 10.7 million tonnes and total coal sales (export and import) totalled 7.3 million tonnes. The South African business revenue per tonne (year-on-year) remained steady at $56.2 per tonne and the business unit demonstrated its resilience by only recording a 1% increase in operating costs per tonne, which was less than the recorded CPI in South Africa.
With respect to the Australian operations, the Company transitioned its Blair Athol (BA) mine in Queensland to owner operator at the end of July 2020 and this strategic decision proved successful. Freeon-board cost reductions, excluding royalties, at BA in the vicinity of $10 per tonne (or 13%) were implemented almost immediately on transition, and have been maintained. The reduced cost base at BA has meant that the Company is now recognising superior margins given the strong seaborne export market and is well positioned to remain profitable at long run coal price cycles. Total ROM Production at BA reached 2.55 million tonnes and total coal sales for the full financial year were 2.25 million tonnes. These production results were excellent and well above the expected coal sales production profile of 2 million tonnes per annum, which was set at the time of transition. The BA operation continues to deliver superior results and this is reflective of the continued dedication of the staff and workforce.
Regardless of the many challenges encountered along the way, the operational result for the Financial Year has remained consistent. The result is a direct testament to our entire workforce and I wish to personally thank them for their continued efforts. As our business continues to transform, I am confident that we will overcome any challenges we encounter and we will continue to grow from both a financial and operational perspective.
I thank the TerraCom Board for their guidance and support, my leadership team for their commitment and each and every one of TerraCom’s men and women for helping to maintain this growing business.

COMPANY OPERATIONS AND PROJECTS OVERVIEW CONTINUED
LOCATION OF OPERATIONS South Africa
TerraCom acquired 100% of Universal Coal Plc (Universal) as at June 2020. Universal holds an interest in a portfolio of producing, development and exploration assets located across South Africa’s major coalfields.
A number of management changes were introduced at the South African operations during April 2021. Following these changes, critical analysis of each operation was completed, and immediate operational improvements delivered following the finalisation of the integration of the South African business into the TerraCom management system.
A strong platform has now been created to achieve growth and deliver the financial performance that Universal has historically delivered (pre TerraCom takeover).

(1) reflects ongoing operational costs and excludes one off items in current year and prior year.
The revenue per tonne at Blair Athol was significantly impacted by two items:
-
United States Dollar achieved price as a result of the demand constraints on thermal coal brought about by the effects of COVID-19. This contributed $6.1 per tonne of the variance.
-
Fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate (AUD:USD). The average fx in 2021 financial year was 0.75, compared to 0.67 in 2020 financial year. This contributed $8.6 per tonne of the variance.

TRANSITION TO OWNER OPERATOR
The Blair Athol (BA) coal mine was successfully transitioned from contractor to an owner operator model at the end of July 2020 with a reduced coal sales production profile post transition of 2Mtpa projected for the operation. However, with the additional efficiencies recognised, as well as the dedication of the TerraCom staff and workforce, the mine consistently delivered above expectation, achieving total coal sales for the 2021 financial year of 2.2 Mt, an over achievement of 247,000 tonnes or 12%.
Under the owner operator model, immediate and significant cost optimisation projects were implemented, resulting in a 18% reduction to Free on Board (FOB) operating costs. Excluding one-off items, BA delivered a year-on-year operating cost reduction of $9.4 per tonne, resulting in a 2021 financial year FOB cost of $64.6 per tonne, against a 2020 financial year cost of $74.0 per tonne.
The owner operator model has been a success for the BA operation and the Company looks forward to continuing to deliver superior results.
SAFETY
We value safety and have an inclusive and respectful culture within our business and the wellbeing of our people is key. Our approach is simple – safety is a mindset and an attitude for everyone which is instilled in all parts of our organisation, forms part of our overall business culture and is foremost in everything we do.
The new operational model at BA provided the platform for the Company to implement a revised Safety and Health Management System during the reporting period. Since implementation, compliance and overall adherence to the system by all BA staff and contractors has been positive and this has been reflected with a reduction in high potential incident performance and frequency rates.
ENVIRONMENT, REHABILITATION AND COMMUNITY
Throughout the course of the year, the Company continued with progressive placement and shaping of mine spoil which is a fundamental element of our rehabilitation obligation. The progressive rehabilitation will effectively reduce the rehabilitation requirements of the mine at the end of the mine life.
BA continued to support the local region with a number of ongoing community support efforts throughout the year. The provision of housing to high school students in the Blair Athol area and the provision of Company offices for use by a local Doctor provide much needed support for the community.
PRODUCTION
Total ROM Production for the year was 2.6Mt and total coal sales achieved for the full financial year were 2.2Mt, a reduction compared to the prior 2020FY period of (ROM Production: 3.05Mt) and (Coal Sales: 2.6Mt) respectively.
While both ROM and coal sales were lower than the prior reporting period, the BA mine achieved well above initial forecasts following the transition to owner operator at the end of July 2020, which had a coal sales production profile of 2Mt per annum.
Post transition, the main focus for the BA operation was on reliable coal delivery and sustainable cost reductions. The operation has delivered significant results in these areas with the average Free on Board (FOB) operating cost base for the full financial year to 30 June 2021 at A$64.6 per sold tonne, which represents at 13% reduction from the previous full financial year.
With a reduced and sustained cost base, BA is now able to capitalise on market upturns, which are currently being experienced with respect to seaborne coal pricing.
Our continued response to COVID-19 remained a significant part of our health and safety activities throughout the year. Our proactive approach to managing the risks of COVID-19 ensured we kept our people safe and well while supporting our local community and maintaining safe and reliable operations.
The LTIFR remained consistent for the entire year at 0.00, however the TRIFR increased to 13.8, up from 6.9 at June 2020, representing the lower exposure hours with reduced workforce.

(1) reflects the period 27 March 2020 to 30 June 2020, being the period that control was exercised on Universal Coal in the 2020 financial year.
The relatively flat revenue per tonne (year-on-year) highlights that the South African business is not negatively impacted as much compared to operations which are solely focused on export coal sales. This therefore provides the platform for this business to be deemed an indirect annuity stream through fixed margin coal sales to domestic consumers, whilst also still benefitting from higher margin export coal sales when the export market is strong. Notwithstanding the impacts of COVID-19 on thermal coal demand (both domestic and global), the South African business demonstrated its resilience by only recording a 1% increase in operating costs per tonne which is less than the recorded CPI increase in South Africa.

KANGALA COLLIERY
Kangala Colliery is located in the Emalahleni area, which is approximately 65km from Johannesburg in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa and consists of the Wolwenfontein and Middelbult Projects.
The Wolwenfontein pit officially reached the end of its resource life with last ROM coal mined in January 2021. Whilst Kangala has a committed 2Mtpa of Coal Supply Agreement (CSA) with Eskom, until 2023, the CSA reached its energy content allowable under the CSA in February 2021. This was due to accelerated delivery of the energy content delivered to Eskom throughout the earlier years of the CSA.
The extension of the Kangala complex is the development of the Eloff mining lease, which runs contiguously to the existing Kangala lease. The extension into Eloff is a low capex development due to the ability for Eloff to utilise the existing Kangala infrastructure (including the CHPP).
The Eloff Project is fully regulated and now awaits the finalisation of the domestic offtake agreement with Eskom to recommence development and production from the current Kangala pit into the Eloff resource. As a result of the ongoing delays with the new Eskom offtake agreement for the Eloff project, the Kangala colliery has been placed into care and maintenance, effective 1 July 2021, to minimise costs.
The Middelbult project has a registered prospecting right and is in the process of obtaining all of the required mining licenses.
SAFETY
The Kangala colliery has consistently delivered exceptional safety results during its years in production. During 2021FY the colliery reported zero LTI’s and zero HPI’s.
ENVIRONMENT, REHABILITATION AND COMMUNITY
The Kangala colliery received the Water Use License for the new discard facility during FY2021 and received its certification for ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 in October 2020.
Whilst operational activity reduced towards the end of the FY21, the colliery remained compliant with all environmental monitoring, in accordance with its Environmental Management Plan.

Kangala Colliery has identified education as a key area that will change the lives of the youth in our host communities and therefore continues to offer skills training programs, internships, learnerships, funding for higher education and donations to local schools. The colliery awarded 10 new comprehensive bursaries to university students, mainly in core mining related fields including geology, mechanical, electrical, and mining engineering, mine surveying, and in finance. In addition, the colliery provided training to over 60 community members in the areas of ADT training, drivers licences, coal preparation training and basic shoe making.
PRODUCTION
As a result of the colliery reaching the end of its resource life in January 2021, Kangala produced and sold significantly less coal in the 2021 financial year when comparing to the 2020 financial year:
-
Run of Mine Production – 1.96 million tonnes less ROM production in 2021 financial year (1.15 million tonnes) compared to the 2020 financial year (3.11 million tonnes).
-
Coal Sales – 1.01 million tonnes less coal sales in 2021 financial year (0.92 million tonnes) compared to the 2020 financial year (1.93 million tonnes).
-
It is also the sole reason as to why the Total Managed Production and Total Equity Production for Run of Mine Production and Coal Sales fell year on year.
PERSONNEL
Due to reduced activity at the colliery the headcount was significantly reduced as at 30 June 2021 with only 157 employees on site, being 18 employees, 5 onsite learners and 134 contractors. Following the colliery being placed into care and maintenance from 1 July 2021, all contractors have either been terminated or had their services suspended.

SAFETY
NCC experienced a turbulent year of safety including a regrettable fatality of a contractor employee which occurred on 6 May 2021. The mine was on stop for 11 days as a result of the fatality and other community related matters (independent of the colliery).
The Group is committed to achieving zero harm to its people, and management, employees and contractors are striving for an improved safety performance across all operations. The colliery reported 6 LTIs (FY2020: 3 LTIs) and 14 HPIs during the reporting period. NCC has reported a total of 165 Fatality Free Progressive Shifts to the end of June 2021.
ENVIRONMENT, REHABILITATION AND COMMUNITY
NCC conducted concurrent rehabilitation for the Roodekop and Diepspriut pits during FY21. NCC has successfully updated the Rehabilitation Financial provision as per NEMA: GNR1147 regulations and finalised the Roodekop and Diepspruit rehabilitation designs. NCC received its ISO 14001:2015 certification during FY2021 and successfully completed the year without any reportable environmental incidents. During the period the NCC initiated the environment authorisation process that will extend the life of mine by an addtional10 years.
PRODUCTION
During the financial year the colliery produced 4.3Mt of ROM (FY2020: 4.0Mt) and achieved a total of 2.4Mt coal sales (FY2020: 2.6Mt). Whilst reduced volume requests from Eskom were experienced during August 2020 to February 2021, demand levels to Eskom stabilised and the Company delivered improved results for the remainder of the year. In total, coal sales to Eskom were 300Kt below the contracted offtake volumes for the 2021 financial year.
Whilst offtake to Eskom was lower than expected, the colliery was able to achieve its RB1 offtake volumes for the reporting period and RB3 coal sales remained consistent to the prior financial reporting period with all of the RB3 product being sold to a local independent power station during the financial year.
PERSONNEL
The total headcount at NCC, including contractors, at the end of June 2021 was 1,792 of which 51 people are directly employed by the colliery and 29 onsite learners.

NORTH BLOCK COMPLEX COLLIERY
The North Block Colliery (NBC) is located in Belfast in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa and was acquired from Exxaro on 1 November 2018. The acquisition was mainly focused on the greenfield Paardeplaats project which was developed during FY2020.
During FY2021 the Company proceeded with the modification of the NBC existing crush and screen circuit, to facilitate both the production of the export quality coal from NBC and to enable the mine to supply higher grade Eskom product as required under the existing Coal Supply Agreement (CSA) for the operation.
NBC achieved exceptional production results during the period under review. The operation has continued to ramp up capacity in order to achieve a steady state production of 450Kt ROM per month and during June 2021, ROM production of 428Kt was achieved with 293Kt of sales recorded.
NBC achieved a significant milestone during the financial year with its first full shipment of thermal coal sailing in March 2021. Since that time, additional export sales have occurred and NBC has solidified itself as a reliable supplier of high quality export thermal coal to market. The newly established export path to market for NBC provides the platform for further growth opportunities for the Company.
SAFETY
NBC achieved satisfactory safety results during FY2021 with 2 LTI incidents reported (LTI: 1 in FY2020). Total fatality free shift since inception (1 November 2018) totals 42,302.
ENVIRONMENT, REHABILITATION AND COMMUNITY
The NBC completed all the backfilling on the Eerstelling mining area during FY21 and is ready to commence seeding in the next raining season.
The Environmental Authorisation Application for the Glisa siding was submitted on 25 June 2021 with expected approval in Q3 of FY22.
PRODUCTION
A total of 2.7Mt of coal was sold to market during FY2021 (FY2020: 2.57Mt). Total coal sold to Eskom was 2.1MT, an amount
greater than the required offtake volumes as the colliery was able to divert some of its RB3 product to Eskom during the last few months of the financial year. With respect to export tonnes, 227Kt of RB1 product was delivered to market and 280Kt of RB3 product was realised following the sale of two export vessels which sailed from Maputo during the year.
PERSONNEL
The total headcount at NBC, including contractors, at the end of June 2021 was 1,141 of which 35 people are directly employed by the colliery, and 9 on-site learners.

SAFETY
Ubuntu has had no LTI’s since the commencement of development of the colliery, which occurred in FY2020. The colliery has reported 2,079 Fatality Free Progressive Shifts as at the end of June 2021.
ENVIRONMENT, REHABILITATION AND COMMUNITY
Since commencing in 2019, the Ubuntu colliery has taken a proactive approach in addressing the mining impacts on surrounding environmental habitats (i.e., wetlands, natural water bodies, etc.).
All the necessary actions required to achieve a sustainable environment are outlined and discussed in Ubuntu Colliery Environmental Management Programme (EMP) which is reviewed on a regular basis.
The Ubuntu colliery supported local communities during the COVID pandemic distributing food parcels, blankets and school uniforms to the all the nearby communities.
The colliery also renovated the community youth centre during the year and provided training to over 100 community members in the areas of blasting, welding, drivers licences and basic IT.
PRODUCTION
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic lock down arrangements in South Africa during the financial year, the volumes under the Eskom CSA were reduced. In total, Ubuntu delivered 1.03Mt of coal to Eskom during the financial year, 68Kt less than planned.
Eskom demand increased from March 2021, which allowed the colliery to make up some volumes and coal sales averaged over 100Kt month for the last 4 months of the reporting period.
PERSONNEL
The total headcount at Ubuntu, including contractors, at the end of June 2021 was 689 of which 30 people are directly employed by the colliery, and 6 onsite learners.

As at 30 June 2021 the Group had a net current liability deficiency of $301.6 million (30 June 2020: $246.7 million), with $249.5 million (or 83%) of this deficiency relating to repayment of Borrowings (Listed Euroclear Bond) due for repayment on 8 October 2021. In the event that the new refinance program is not settled by 8 October 2021, the Company, Note Trustee and Ordinary Noteholders will enact a restructured finance arrangement of the existing debt. This restructuring requires the principal and interest to be paid monthly, up to the facility’s extended maturity date, being 31 December 2022, on commercial terms consistent with the existing facility (interest rate of 12.5% per annum, special interest of 0.75% of Blair Athol revenue). The monthly repayment quantum to be made is subject to an agreed cash sweep based on the Company’s financial performance.
The Group has increased its current assets year on year by $19.9 million. This can be mainly attributable to trade and other receivables, which has increased by $22.7 million.
As at 30 June 2021 all trade and other receivables are within agreed trade credit terms.
The two largest contributors to the negative equity of $27.5 million are as follows:
-
Impairment of Australian exploration and evaluation assets. The Group over the previous operating years has recognised $99.4 million in impairment of Australian exploration and evaluation assets, including $33.6 million in the 2021 financial year.
-
Disposal of discontinued operation (Mongolia). In the previous financial year the Group recognised a loss on the disposal of Mongolia of $116.0 million.
These two items add up to $215.4 million and if they had not been incurred the Group would have a net equity position of $188.0 million.

The Group generated net cash from operating activities excluding net interest and tax of $25.8 million (2020: $32.8 million). During the year the Group’s revenue was significantly impacted by the export market prices able to be earned brought about by the impacts of global thermal coal demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Group’s BA Mine (Australian operation) earned $14.7 million or 17% less revenue per tonne in the current year ($70.9 per tonne) compared to the prior year ($85.6 per tonne).
Subsequent to year-end, the global demand for thermal coal has rebounded significantly which has had a corresponding increase in the export market prices. The Group’s export revenue per tonne has increased as a result of realising increase in the export market pricing.
MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END
OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR
As announced to the ASX on 21 September 2021, the Company has obtained an extension of the Euroclear Bond maturity date to 8 October 2021. In the event the refinance program is not settled by 8 October 2021, then the Company, the Note Trustee and all ordinary noteholders will enact a restructured finance arrangement of the existing debt. This restructuring requires principal and interest to be repaid monthly up to the facility’s extended maturity date, being 31 December 2022, on commercial terms consistent with the existing facility (Interest rate of 12.5% per annum, special interest of 0.75% of Blair Athol revenues). The monthly repayment quantum to be made is subject to an agreed cash sweep based on the Company’s financial performance.
No other matter of circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group’s operations, the results of those operations, or the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

There have been no significant known breaches of the consolidated entities’ licence conditions or any environmental regulations.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
The Group operates in the coal sector in both Australia and South Africa. There are a number of factors, both specific to the Group and to the coal sector in general, which may, either individually or in combination, affect the future operating and financial performance of the Group, its prospects and/or the value of the Group’s shares.
Many of the circumstances giving rise to these risks are beyond the control of the board and management. The major risks believed to be associated with investment in the Group are as follows:
OPERATIONAL RISK
The Group’s coal mining operations are subject to operating risks that could impact the amount of coal produced or processed at its coal mines, delay coal deliveries or increase the cost of mining for varying lengths of time. These include failure to achieve predicted grade in exploration, mining and processing, technical difficulties encountered in operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure, metallurgical problems which affect extraction rates and costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages or increase in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment. Geological uncertainty is also an inherent operational risk which could result in pit wall failures, rock falls or other failures to mine infrastructure.
GLOBAL PANDEMIC RISK
The recent COVID-19 pandemic outbreak poses significant risk to the Group across a number of areas. Ongoing or intermittent government-imposed shutdowns continue to impact sectors of
PAGE 45
TERRACOM LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW CONTINUED
the economy and ongoing travel restrictions and border closures by both the Australian and South African governments mean that supply chains, exports or customers of the Company may be impacted. With employees in both Australia and South Africa, a pandemic outbreak among employees, in either location, has the potential to cause interruption to business operations which may result in loss.
The exceptional circumstances stemming from the pandemic have resulted in uncertainty surrounding public health and the global economy, including impacts on energy and industrial markets. Short-term demand for thermal coal has contracted as a result of measures employed in many countries to slow the spread of the virus. Despite uncertainties surrounding the economic outlook, the fundamentals of our business model remain robust. Throughout the pandemic, our portfolio of coal products have remained sought after and well sold.
DEVELOPMENT RISK
There is a risk that circumstances (including unforeseen circumstances) may cause a delay to project development, exploration milestones or other operating factors, resulting in receipt of revenue at a later date than expected. Additionally, the construction of new projects/expansion by the Group may exceed the currently envisaged timeframe or cost for a variety of reasons outside the control of the Group.
CASH FLOW RISK
The risk that the Group’s operations are unable to generate sufficient cashflow to meet their operational commitments and debt funding repayments could have a negative effect on the Group’s going concern ability. The Group’s operations were able to meet all their commitment for the period under review and service head office and corporate expenses. The Directors regularly review cash flow requirements to ensure the Group can meet financial obligations as and when they fall due.
COUNTRY RISKS
There is a risk that circumstances (including unforeseen circumstances) in either Australia or South Africa may cause a delay to project development, exploration milestones or other operating factors, resulting in receipt of revenue at a later date than expected. There is also a risk that a change in laws may impact the viability of the projects.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK
Both the Company and consolidate entity are exposed to risks
arising from financial instruments held and issued. These are discussed in note 34 of the financial statements.
MARKET RISK - COAL PRICE AND FOREIGN CURRENCY
The Group’s plans for any revenue are to be derived mainly from the sale of coal and/or coal products. Consequently, the Group’s financial position, operating results and future growth will closely depend on the market price of each of these commodities. Market prices of coal products are subject to large fluctuations in response to changes in demand and/or supply and various other factors.
These changes can be the result of uncertainty or several industry and macroeconomic factors beyond the control of the Group, including political instability, governmental regulation, forward selling by producers, climate, inflation, interest rates and currency exchange rates. If market prices of the commodities sold by the Group were to fall below production costs for these products and remain at that level for a sustained period of time, the Group would be likely to experience losses, having a material adverse effect on the Group. The Group does not currently hedge against coal price and foreign exchange.
COMPETITION RISK
The industry in which the Group is involved is subject to domestic and global competition. While the Group will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Group will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Group’s projects and business.
EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION RISK
Mineral exploration and development are high risk undertakings. While the Group has attempted to reduce this risk by selecting projects that have identified prospective mineral targets, there is still no guarantee of success. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. The Group’s exploration and appraisal activities are dependent upon the grant and maintenance of appropriate licences, permits, resource consents, access arrangements and regulatory authorities (authorisations) which may not be granted or may be withdrawn or made subject to limitations. Although the authorisations may be renewed following expiry or granting (as the case may be), there can be no assurance that such authorisations will be renewed or granted on the same terms. There are also risks that there could be delays in obtaining such authorisations. If the Group does not meet its work and/or
PAGE 46
expenditure obligations under its authorisations, this may lead to dilution of its interest in, or the loss of such authorisations. The business of commodity development and production involves a degree of risk. Amongst other factors, success is dependent on successful design, construction and operation of efficient gathering, processing and transportation facilities. Even if the Company discovers or recovers potentially commercial quantities of coal from its exploration activities, there is no guarantee that the Group will beable to successfully transport these resources to commercially viable market or sell the resources to customers to achieve a commercial return.
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS RISK
There is a risk that insufficient liquidity or the inability to access funding on acceptable terms may impact ongoing operations and growth opportunities. The Group implements various capital management strategies to align, where possible, with the capitalised liquidity requirements on the Company.
HEALTH & SAFETY RISK
The Group has a comprehensive health and safety management system. The Group’s projects are subject to laws and regulations regarding health and safety matters. Accidents or incidents of the operations could lead to delays, disruptions, or shutdown of the operations. Potential safety risks include equipment failure, human errors, mining equipment interactions and spontaneous combustion risk.
need for orderly development of the ore bodies and the processing of new or different mineral grades may cause a mining operation to be unprofitable in any particular accounting period and may adversely affect the Group’s profitability. The mining of coal involves a high degree of risk, including that the coal mined may be of a different quality, tonnage or strip ratio from that estimated.
ACQUISITIONS AND COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS RISK
Acquisitions and commercial transactions are completed by the Group with the principal objective of growing the Group’s portfolio of assets. Risks associated with these transactions include adverse market reaction to proposed and/or completed transactions, further exploration and evaluation activities not meeting expectations, and the imposition of unfavourable or unforeseen conditions, obligations and liabilities.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND REGULATORY RISK
The Group’s projects are subject to laws and regulations regarding environmental matters. Many of the activities and operations of the Group cannot be carried out without prior approval from and compliance with all relevant authorities. The Group intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with all applicable laws. However, the Group could be subject to liability due to risks inherent to its activities, such as groundwater contamination, subsidence, accidental spills, leakages or other unforeseen circumstances.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION RISK
RESOURCES AND RESERVES RISK
The future success of the Group will depend on its ability to find or acquire coal reserves that are economically recoverable. There can be no assurance that the Group’s planned exploration activities will result in significant resources or reserves or that it will have success mining coal. Even if the Group is successful in finding or acquiring coal reserves or resources, reserve and resource estimates are estimates only and no assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery from coal resources or reserves will in fact be realised or that an identified coal resource will ever qualify as commercially viable which can be legally and economically exploited.
Market fluctuations in the price of coal, as well as increased production costs or reduced recovery rates may render coal reserves and resources containing relatively lower grades of mineralisation uneconomic and may ultimately result in a restatement of reserves and or resources. Short-term operating factors relating to the coal reserves and resources, such as the
The coal sector is subject to a broad range of environmental laws, regulations and standards – including in relation to greenhouse gas emissions. Changes or amendments to laws, regulations and standards could result in increased operating costs, regulatory action, litigation, or in extreme cases, threaten the viability of an operation.
CYBER RISK
The Group’s operations are supported by an information technology security framework ad back-up data infrastructure. However, computer viruses, unauthorised access, cyber-attack and other similar disruptions may threaten the security of information and impact operational systems.
INFRASTRUCTURE RISKS
Coal sold from the Group’s mining operations is transported to customers by a combination of trucks, rail and ship. A number of factors could disrupt these transport services, including a failure of infrastructure providers to increase capacity in order to meet
PAGE 47
TERRACOM LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW CONTINUED
future export requirements. Rail and port capacity is obtained predominantly through contract arrangements which includes take-or-pay provisions which require payment to be made irrespective of whether the service is actually used. The Group seeks to align these take-or-pay infrastructure obligations with the Group’s forecasted future production.
COUNTERPARTY RISK
The Group deals with a number of counterparties, including customers and suppliers. Risks include non-supply or changes to the quality of key inputs which may impact costs and production at its mining operations, or failure of suppliers or customers to perform against operational and sales contracts.
CLIMATE CHANGE RISK
Climate change and management of carbon emissions may lead to increasing regulation and costs. There continues to be focus from governments, regulators and investors in relation to how companies are managing the impacts of climate change policy
and expectations. The Group’s growth may be impacted by increasing regulation and costs associated with climate change and the management of carbon emissions.
The Group actively monitors current and emerging areas of climate change risk and opportunities to ensure appropriate action can be taken. The Group continuously focuses on improving its energy efficiency and emissions management in delivering cost efficiencies.
POLITICAL RISK
Political and regulatory instability has been the cause of major investment uncertainty in the South African mining space. The South Africa Department of Mineral Resources unveiled new rules for Black Economic Empowerment, including more rigorous ownership requirements, increased expectations on skills development, and expanded quotas for buying goods and services from black-owned companies. Notwithstanding these additional requirements, the Group is in a fortunate position with respect to its South African Operations in that it fulfills nearly all obligations in the revised Mining Charter in its current format.

Limited) in the amount of US$20,000,000. The conversion price is AU$0.696 and the expiry of the bond is 3 years from the date of issue, being 24 December 2019.
SHARES FORFEITED OR LAPSED
The extinguished debt facilities with OCP Asia and others (Amortising Notes and Convertible Notes facilities) had 12,630,833 detachable warrants issued on 26 February 2016. These warrants were exercisable at the holder’s option in exchange for fully paid ordinary shares in the Company at an exercise price of $0.262 (unless a cross listing on the SGX has completed, in which case the exercise price is the lower of the Cross Listing Price and the Market Price) up until five years from the date of issue. The warrants expired on 26 February 2021 without being exercised by the holder.
On 27 November 2018, shareholders at the Company’s AGM approved the issue of up to 647,777 options to all Directors who were in office at the date of the meeting. The unlisted ordinary share options were issued on 26 November 2019.
As at the date of this report all options to directors have been forfeited or cancelled, refer further details below relating to the initial vesting conditions and forfeiture/cancellation.
The vesting of these options was subject to
-
a) the director’s continuous engagement with the Company from 1 July 2018 to 1 July 2021; and
-
b) the performance of TerraCom’s share price in comparison to the ASX 200 from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019.

REMUNERATION REPORT
The audited remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2021 outlines the remuneration arrangements of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and its regulations. This information has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
The remuneration report details the remuneration arrangements for the Group’s key management personnel (KMP) during the financial year ended 30 June 2021.
Key management personnel are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Group and other designated senior executives. During the year, KMP comprised the Executive Chairman, Managing Director (MD) and his direct management reports (collectively the Executive KMP) and the non-executive directors of the Company.
The remuneration report is tabled at the Annual General Meeting of the Company each year for shareholder approval. At the 2020 Annual General Meeting of shareholders held on 30 November 2020, the remuneration report received positive shareholder approval with a vote of 99.09% in favour. The company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.
1. PRINCIPLES USED TO DETERMINE THE NATURE AND AMOUNT OF REMUNERATION
The objective of the Group’s remuneration framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The performance of the Group depends on the quality of both its Directors and Executive KMP and the Company’s remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performing and highquality personnel who will contribute to the Group’s success.
2. ROLE OF THE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
The Board has established a Remuneration Committee to focus specifically on appropriate procedures and guidelines in relation to the remuneration of the Executive Chairman, Managing Director, other executive KMP and Non-executive Directors.
The Group’s remuneration framework is designed to align executive remuneration with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice. The following key criteria are considered by the Board in setting the remuneration framework to achieve good governance practices:
The Remuneration Committee is primarily responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board for:
-
competitiveness and reasonableness
-
the remuneration structure of the Group;
-
acceptability to shareholders
-
the remuneration arrangements for the Executive Chairman, Managing Director and other Executive KMP;
-
performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation
-
transparency
-
the terms and conditions of short-term and long-term incentives for the Executive Chairman, Managing Director and other Executive KMP (including setting short-term incentives); and
A key element of the remuneration framework is to enhance the interests of both shareholders and KMP.
| KMP interests | Shareholder interests |
|---|---|
| •rewarding capability and experience |
•economic proft as a core component of plan design |
| •refecting competitive reward for contribution |
•focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of |
| to growth in shareholder | dividends and growth in share price, |
| wealth | and delivering constant or increasing |
| •providing a clear structure for earning rewards |
return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-fnancial drivers of value |
| •attracting and retaining high calibre | |
| executives |
- the remuneration to be paid to nonexecutive Directors.
The objective of the Committee is to ensure that the remuneration framework adopted by the Group is both fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interests of the Group. In doing this, the Remuneration Committee may seek advice from independent expert remuneration consultants where applicable.
During the 2021 financial year no remuneration experts were engaged by the Remuneration Committee.

b) Setting non-executive director fees
Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of the role and are designed to ensure that the Company can attract and retain suitable qualified and experienced non-executive directors.
Although there is no stipulated minimum shareholding for nonexecutive directors, the Company encourages all directors to hold shares. Non-executive directors are reimbursed for travel and other expenses reasonably incurred when attending meetings of the Board or in connection with the business of the Company.
Non-executive director fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Committee may, from time to time, receive advice from independent
remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive director fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market.
Fees for the Chairman are determined independently to the fees for other non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration.
ASX listing rules require the aggregate non-executive director remuneration pool be determined periodically by a general meeting. The most recent determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 19 November 2019, where shareholders approved a maximum aggregate remuneration of $1,250,000 per annum, excluding long-term incentive options, which are approved by shareholders as and when required.
c) Current non-executive director fee remuneration
An internal review of non-executive director remuneration was undertaken during FY2021 to recalibrate fees and payments to non-executive directors following the significant changes to the composition of the board between June 2020 and December 2020.
The fee levels adopted by the Board effective 1 November 2020 are outlined below, noting that the fees are per annum and include mandatory statutory superannuation contributions. The fees apply to non-executive directors only.

EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION
The Group aims to reward Executive KMP based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which has both fixed and variable components.
The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components which comprises the total remuneration:
-
fixed remuneration, including superannuation (TFR)
-
short-term performance incentives (STI)
PAGE 54
-
long-term performance incentives (LTI)
-
non-monetary benefits (including fringe benefits)

* KMP throughout the entire period despite role change
b) Fixed remuneration
The purpose of TFR is to provide a base level of remuneration which is market-competitive and appropriate. TFR includes base pay and superannuation contributions. Executive contracts of employment do not include guaranteed base pay increases and are reviewed each year by the Remuneration Committee.
The TFR is determined using a number of factors, including skills displayed, particular experience of the individual concerned and overall performance of the Company. The contracts for service between the Company and all Executive KMP are on a continuing employment basis (not fixed term).
The terms and conditions of these contracts are not expected to change in the immediate future.
c) Short term incentives
The objective of awarding an STI is to link the rewards of all employees with the achievement of strategic goals, whilst constituting a reasonable cost to the Group. The STI performance measures are focused on the growth of the business and include various business performance and technical measurement components.
Weighting for each component can range from a minimum of 10% up to 50%, with a total of 100% for all components. Bonuses are awarded annually upon successful achievement of performance measures.
There was no formal STI scheme in place for the financial year ending 30 June 2021. As such, no STIs were awarded to any executive KMP during the period. The Group is currently in the process of refining its STI program and a new program will be presented to shareholders for FY2022.
d) Long Term Incentives
Performance-linked equity plans are widely considered to be a very effective means of providing incentives to attract and retain staff while aligning potential incentive outcomes with the interests of shareholders. The objective of the LTI is to link the long-term performance objectives of the Company with the retention of the Group’s employees at all levels.
The Remuneration Committee and the Board believes that rewarding the performance of Executive KMP with an equity-linked incentive program underpins the employment strategy of attracting and retaining high caliber staff capable of executing the Group’s strategic plans, and will:
-
(a) assist the retention of executive KMP and operational staff;
-
(b) enhance the Group’s ability to attract quality staff in the future;
-
(c) link the rewards of all management employees with the achievement of strategic goals and the long- term performance objectives of the Group; and
-
(d) provide incentives to management employees to deliver superior performance that creates shareholder value.
There were no LTI’s awarded to any Executive KMP during the financial year ending 30 June 2021. Share based payments were awarded to Executive KMP during FY2019 and FY2020, however as allocations under the FY2020 award did not meet the initial vesting criteria they did not vest and were therefore forfeited before being issued. With respect to allocations under the FY2019 award, initial vesting conditions were met, however given the exercise price applied to the allocations was too optimistic and incapable of being met, the Board, cancelled the allocations during FY2021 following agreement by option holders.
The Group has engaged an external consultant to design and implement a more appropriate LTI program for Executive KMP and the terms of the program will be presented to shareholders at the appropriate time.
e) Non-monetary benefits
Executive KMP’s may receive fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the Group and provides additional value to the executive.

Options issued to non-executive directors and Executives KMPs are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, market performance conditions, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment.

CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2021
1. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
1.1 New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
AASB 108 - Changes in accounting policies - IFRIC agenda decision – Configuration or Customisation Costs in a Cloud Computing Arrangement
In April 2021, the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) published an agenda decision for configuration and customisation costs incurred related to a Software as a Service (SaaS) arrangement. The Group has changed its accounting policy in relation to configuration and customisation costs incurred in implementing SaaS arrangements. The nature and effect of the changes as a result of changing this policy is described below.
Accounting policy - Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) arrangements
SaaS arrangements are arrangements in which the Company does not currently control the underlying software used in the arrangement.
Where costs incurred to configure or customise SaaS arrangements result in the creation of a resource which is identifiable, and where the company has the power to obtain the future economic benefits flowing from the underlying resource and to restrict the access of others to those benefits, such costs are recognised as a separate intangible software asset and amortised over the useful life of the software on a straight-line basis. The amortisation is reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period and any changes are treated as changes in accounting estimates.
Where costs incurred to configure or customise do not result in the recognition of an intangible software asset, then those costs that provide the Group/Company with a distinct service (in addition to the SaaS access) are now recognised as expenses when the supplier provides the services. When such costs incurred do not provide a distinct service, the costs are now recognised as expenses over the duration of the SaaS contract. Previously some costs had been capitalised and amortised over its useful life.
The impact of adopting this change is immaterial.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted and are not considered material to the Group.
1.2 Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) , as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
During the interim period ended 31 December 2020, as a result of management and board changes in Universal Coal and Energy Holdings (Pty) Ltd ( UCEHSA ) (subsidiary), TerraCom deconsolidated its South African Operations, in accordance with AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. There was a perceived loss of control, in anticipation of the finalisation of a restructure with their Black Economic Empowerment partner which was expected to be completed in quarter three of the financial year. Subsequently, all agreements and discussions ceased and TerraCom immediately replaced the UCEHSA management and board, illustrating that control was never lost, and rather it was only perceived to have been lost. UCEHSA remains a fully owned subsidiary of the TerraCom Group, with no change in shareholding in any of TerraCom’s South African subsidiaries. As no 31 December 2020 balances have been presented in these financial statement, no re-statement has been required.

TERRACOM LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2021 continued
1.2 Basis of preparation (continued)
Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
As at 30 June 2021 the Group had a net current liability deficiency of $301.6 million (30 June 2020: $246.7 million), with $249.5 million (or 83%) of this deficiency relating to maturity of its Borrowings (Listed Euroclear Bond and Convertible Note Facility) which at the date of this report are due for repayment on 8 October 2021. The Group is currently negotiating a refinance package with a new counterparty to settle this existing obligation.
In the event that the new refinance program is not settled by 8 October 2021, via a special resolution under the existing Listed Euroclear Bond, the Company, Note Trustee and Ordinary Noteholders have a agreed a restructuring of the Borrowings (Listed Euroclear Bond and Convertible Note Facility) which comes into effect on this date, subject to the completion of long form legal documentation by 30 November 2021. The Company, Note Trustee and Ordinary Noteholders can elect to execute existing long form legal documentation in lieu of completing new long form legal documentation.
The restructuring of the Borrowings with the existing Note Trustee and Ordinary Noteholders stipulates that the Borrowings (principal and interest) are to be repaid in monthly instalments over the facility’s extended maturity date, being 31 December 2022. The commercial terms of the borrowings remain consistent with the existing facility (interest rate of 12.5% per annum, special interest of 0.75% of Blair Athol revenue). The monthly repayment amount is based on an agreed cash sweep determined from the Company’s financial performance. Any amount unpaid as at 31 December 2022 is repayable in a bullet payment at that time.
The total comprehensive loss for the period was $65.9 million. The loss after income tax for the period was $94.6 million, which consisted of major non-cash items, including $42.9 million of depreciation and amortisation, $33.6 million impairment expense on the Group’s Australian exploration assets, $4.9 million of foreign exchange losses and $1.0 million of losses recognised on disposal of fixed assets.
The Group generated net cash from operating activities excluding net interest and tax of $25.8 million (2020: $32.8 million). During the year ended 30 June 2021, the Group’s revenue was significantly impacted by the lower export market prices earned. The Group’s Blair Athol Mine (Australian operation) earned $14.7 or 17% less revenue per tonne in the current year ($70.9 per tonne) compared to the prior year ($85.6 per tonne).
The above matters may give rise to a material uncertainty about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
Subsequent to year end, the global demand for thermal coal has rebounded significantly which has had a corresponding increase in the export market prices. The Group’s export revenue per tonne has improved and assuming prices remain robust, the Group’s anticipates this will improve its cash flows from operations for the 2022 financial year.
In the directors’ opinion, the going concern basis of preparation remains appropriate because:
-
Ÿ The Group’s current operations and prevailing global thermal coal market conditions are expected to result in improved operating cash flows in 2022 financial year;
-
Ÿ The Group continues to work closely with its key contractors and suppliers to manage its cash outflows and where necessary obtain agreement to extend payment terms;
-
Ÿ The Group continues to closely monitor available cash reserves and undertake initiatives to preserve liquidity; and
-
Ÿ The Group has a history of being able to pay down, refinance or defer its debt obligations if required.
If the Group is unable to achieve the above measures it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business at amounts different from those stated in the statement of financial position.
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2021 continued
1.2 Basis of preparation (continued)
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 2.
1.3 Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in Note 40.
1.4 Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of TerraCom Limited ('Company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. TerraCom Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group'.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The acquisition of a business is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the Group. Losses incurred by the Group are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.
Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
1.5 Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.
PAGE 71
TERRACOM LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2021 continued
1.6 Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars (AUD), which is TerraCom Limited's presentation currency. The functional currency of the Australian exploration and the United Kingdom subsidiaries are Australian dollars (AUD), the South African subsidiaries are South African Rand (ZAR) and the balance of the subsidiaries and TerraCom Limited are United States Dollar (USD).
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.
1.7 Revenue recognition
The Group recognises revenue as follows:
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.
Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is generally at the time of delivery.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
PAGE 72
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2021 continued
1.8 Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
-
Ÿ When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
-
Ÿ When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.
1.9 Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the statement of profit or loss.
1.10 Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
1.11 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Restricted cash is not available for use by the Group and therefore is not considered highly liquid, for example, cash set aside to cover rehabilitation obligations.
PAGE 73
TERRACOM LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2021 continued
1.12 Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.
1.13 Inventories
Stock on hand is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
1.14 Derivative financial instruments
Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation include monetary items that are considered part of the net investment. Gains or losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge are recognised directly in equity whilst gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion are recognised in profit or loss. On disposal of the foreign operation, the cumulative value of any such gains or losses recognised directly in equity is transferred to profit or loss.
1.15 Associates
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Dividends received or receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any unsecured longterm receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
The Group discontinues the use of the equity method upon the loss of significant influence over the associate and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the associate's carrying amount, fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.
1.16 Investments and other financial assets
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, it's carrying value is written off.
Financial assets at amortised cost
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost only if both of the following conditions are met: (i) it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and (ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset represent contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.
PAGE 74

for the year ended 30 June 2021 continued
1.16 Investments and other financial assets (continued)
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the Group's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.
Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.
For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In all other cases, the loss allowance reduces the asset's carrying value with a corresponding expense through profit or loss.
1.17 Property, plant and equipment
Land and buildings are stated at historical cost. Plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a units of production method for plant and equipment and mine development based on original cost and a straight-line basis for other assets with expected useful lives as follows:
| Furniture, fixtures and fittings | 1-10 years |
|---|---|
| Office equipment | 1-10 years |
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.
The Group's right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over the lease term.
1.18 Deferred stripping
Deferred stripping expenditure incurred to remove overburden or waste material during the production phase of a mining operation is deferred to the extent it gives rise to future economic benefits and charged to operating costs on a units of production basis using the estimated average stripping ratio for the area being mined. Changes in estimates of average stripping ratios are accounted for prospectively. The stripping activity asset is subsequently depreciated on a units of production basis over the life of the identified component of the ore body that became more accessible as a result of the stripping activity. For the purposes of assessing impairment, deferred stripping costs are grouped with other assets of the relevant cash generating unit.
1.19 Exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.

1.20 Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
1.21 Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition except those classified as non-current which are paid after 12 months from year end.
1.22 Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The component of the convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position, net of transaction costs.
On the issue of the convertible notes the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond and this amount is carried as a non-current liability on the amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The increase in the liability due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in shareholders equity as a convertible note reserve, net of transaction costs. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in the subsequent years. The corresponding interest on convertible notes is expensed to profit or loss.
1.23 Lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is generally not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

1.24 Restoration and rehabilitation
A provision is recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past events, and it is probable that resources will be expended to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are made for the estimated cost of rehabilitation relating to areas disturbed during the mine’s operation up to reporting date but not yet rehabilitated. Provision has been made in full for all disturbed areas at the reporting date based on current estimates of costs to rehabilitate such areas, discounted to their present value based on expected future cashflows. The estimated costs of rehabilitation include the current cost of re-contouring, topsoiling and revegetation based on legislative requirements. Changes in estimates are dealt with on a prospective basis as they arise.
The amount of the provision relating to rehabilitation of mine infrastructure and dismantling obligations is recognised at the commencement of the mining project and/or construction of the assets where a legal or constructive obligation exists at that time. The provision is recognised as a liability with a corresponding asset included in mining property and development assets.
At each reporting date, the rehabilitation liability is re-measured in line with changes in discount rates, and timing or amount of the costs to be incurred. Changes in the liability relating to rehabilitation of mine infrastructure and dismantling obligations are added to or deducted from the related asset, other than the unwinding of the discount which is recognised as a finance expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as it occurs.
For closed mines, changes to estimated costs are recognised immediately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
The amount of the provision relating to rehabilitation of environmental disturbance caused by on-going production and extraction activities is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as incurred.
1.25 Finance costs
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
1.26 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
1.27 Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Long-term employee benefits
For long service leave payable beyond 12 months the amount payable is discounted back to the present value of the liability.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services.

TERRACOM LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2021 continued
1.27 Employee benefits (continued)
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Monte Carlo or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, market performance conditions, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non vesting and market conditions that do not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Monte Carlo or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:
-
Ÿ during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.
-
Ÿ from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore, any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification.
The company elects to transfer the share-based reserve for cancelled share options to retained earnings.
1.28 Deferred revenue
Deferred revenue is recognised when a customer pays consideration, or when the Group recognises a receivable to reflect its unconditional right to consideration (whichever is earlier), before the Group has transferred the goods or services to the customer. The liability is the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer from which it has received consideration.

1.29 Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.
1.30 Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
1.31 Dividends
Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the Company.

1.32 Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired.
The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the fair value of the instruments is their published market price at the date of exchange. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity are recognised directly in equity.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest assumed. The noncontrolling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss.
The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer.
Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the Group remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss as a revaluation gain or loss.
On the acquisition of a business, the Group assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.
Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value.
When acquisitions are achieved in stages (stepped acquisition), non-controlling interest acquired subsequent to the acquisition date is recorded only in equity and does not result in recognition of a gain or loss.
1.33 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of TerraCom Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

1.34 Goods and Services Tax ('GST'), Value Added Tax ('VAT') and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST/VAT, unless the GST/VAT incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST/VAT receivable or payable. The net amount of GST/VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST/VAT components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST/VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.
1.35 Rounding of amounts
The Company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.
2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Business combinations
For mining assets, the value at acquisition was determined based on the expected future cash flows expected to be derived from the mines over their life. The future cash flows are based on estimates, the most significant of which are coal reserves, future production profiles, commodity prices, operating costs, any future development costs necessary to produce the reserves and value attributable to additional resource and exploration opportunities beyond reserves based on production plans. The cash flow models are categorised within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Future commodity prices are based on the Group's best estimate of future market prices with reference to external market analysts' forecasts, current spot prices and forward curves. The Group's coal price forecasts include the expected impact of climate change and potential policy responses as one of the many factors that can affect long term scenarios. The Group has formed the opinion that global demand for the Group's products will continue over the life of the respective mines. Where volumes are contracted, future prices are based on the contracted price. The discount rates applied to the future forecast cash flows are based on the weighted average cost of capital, adjusted for risks where appropriate.
For exploration and evaluation assets, the value at acquisition was determined based on recent market transactions and resource multiples.
Carrying value of assets
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period, whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. The recoverable amount of an individual asset, or cash generating unit is determined based on the higher of fair value less cost of disposal (FVLCD) or value in use (VIU). These calculations require the use of estimations and assumptions.
PAGE 81
TERRACOM LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2021 continued
2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
Estimated future cash flows used to determined FVLCD are inherently uncertain and could materially change over time. They are significantly affected by a number of factors including reserves and production estimates, together with economic factors including future coal prices, discount rates, foreign exchange rates, future costs of production, stripping ratios, and future capital expenditure. These assumptions are likely to change over time, which may then impact the estimated life of the mine, and the associated FVLCD.
Carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the Group will commence commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the mineral resources. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made.
Mineral reserves and resources
The estimated quantities of economically recoverable Reserves and Resources are based upon interpretations of geological and geophysical models and require assumptions to be made requiring factors such as estimates of future operating performance, future capital requirements, and coal prices. The Group is required to determine and report Reserves and Resources under the Australian Code for Reporting Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves December 2012 (JORC code). The JORC code requires the use of reasonable investment assumptions to calculate reserves and resources. Changes in reported reserves and resources can impact the life of mine, which impacts the carrying value of mining assets, rehabilitation provisioning and amortisation and depreciation.
Rehabilitation provision
A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs for future rehabilitation of land explored or mined. The Group's mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. The Group recognises management's best estimate for assets retirement obligations and site rehabilitation in the period in which they are incurred. Actual costs incurred in the future periods could differ materially from the estimates. Additionally, future changes to environmental laws and regulations, life of mine estimates and discount rates could affect the carrying amount of this provision.
Share-based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Monte Carlo or BlackScholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
Valuation of financial instruments
In respect of the instruments measured at amortised cost, judgement is required in estimating the timing of expected cash inflows and outflows used in applying the effective interest rate method. These cash flows are dependent on timing of future coal production, and timing of debt repayments.
The Group is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
Income tax
The Group is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Group's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Group considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Key judgements and estimates The Group recognises deferred tax assets only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. This requires assumptions regarding future profitability of the Group and is therefore involves a degree of estimation, judgement and is uncertain.
To the extent assumptions regarding future profitability change, there can be an increase or decrease in the amounts recognised in respect of deferred tax assets as well as in the amounts recognised in income in the period in which the change occurs.
The most significant assumptions as part of the future probability estimate include; future production profiles, future commodity prices, expected operating costs, future development costs necessary to produce the reserves and value attributable to additional resource.
All available evidence is considered when determined forecast assumptions, including approved budgets, forecasts and business plans, impact of climate change policy (enacted and future) and, in certain cases, analysis of historical operating results.
The estimates described above require significant management judgement and are subject to risk and uncertainty that may be beyond the control of the Group; hence, there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will materially alter projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of deferred tax asset at each reporting date.
3. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (Chief Operating Decision Makers, or CODM) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.
Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics and are also similar with respect to the following:
-
Ÿ the products sold and/or services provided by the segment;
-
Ÿ the geographical location of the segment; and
-
Ÿ any external regulatory requirements.
Performance is measured based on segment profit after income tax as included in the internal financial reports.
The CODM reviews EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements.
The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis.

Acquisition of Universal Coal plc
Following the acquisition of a 19.995% shareholding in Universal Coal plc ( Universal or UNV ) in October 2019, on 3 February 2020, TerraCom announced a takeover offer, through its wholly owned subsidiary TCIG Resources Pte Ltd to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Universal not already directly or indirectly owned by it. The offer price per UNV security consisted of 10 cents cash and 0.6026 new TerraCom shares.
From 3 February 2020 to 27 March 2020, TerraCom acquired Universal shares via a take-over process increasing its ownership interest in stages. Control over Universal was obtained on 27 March 2020 (the Acquisition Date) and accordingly TerraCom has consolidated the results from Universal’s operations from this date. From the Acquisition Date to 30 June 2020 the Group acquired the remaining share capital in UNV, owning 100% of the entity at 30 June 2020.
The acquisition of Universal aligns with the Company’s ongoing corporate strategy and enables the Company to enter into an emerging market, yet at the same time reducing the Company’s sovereign risk profile with new investments in South Africa.
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Due to the size and complexity of this acquisition, proximity to year end, and travel restrictions arising due to COVID-19 the Company disclosed only provisional fair value at June 2020. The Company has amended the fair value as new information became available that existed at the acquisition date.
The fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of Universal as at the Acquisition Date were:
| Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Inventories Restricted cash Property, plant and equipment Exploration and evaluation Financial asset Loan payable to external shareholders Trade and other payables Borrowings Provisions Financial liabilities Deferred tax Net assets acquired Non-controlling interest (1) Acquisition-date fair value at TerraCom's share Representing: Purchase consideration (refer below for composition) Impact of equity accounting post acquisition Gain on revaluation of associate on acquisition |

(1) Non-controlling interest relates to both non-controlling interest of Universal Coal Plc at acquisition date, as TerraCom Limited owned 81.48% of outstanding shares of Universal Coal Plc at acquisition date and the non-controlling interest related to BEE partners which own various percentages of Universal Coal subsidiaries.

The Group in collaboration with an independent valuation expert used discounted cash flow models to estimate the expected future cash flows of Universal's operating mines, based on the life-of-mine plans. Expected future cash flows are based on estimates of future production and commodity prices, operating costs, and forecast capital expenditures using the life-ofmine plan as at the acquisition date. Additional resources which were not included in the life-of-mine plan and exploration potential were separately valued in collaboration with an independent valuation expert using a market approach, evaluating recent comparable transactions and are included above as part of ’Exploration and evaluation assets’.
The following amendments were made to the PPA, as a result of information which has since become available that existed at the acquisition date:
(1) Trade and other receivables: Diesel rebate receivables of $3.7 million that was included in receivables at 31 March 2020 have been identified as impaired/not recoverable and has been removed from the receivables balance at 31 March 2020.
(2) Property Plant and Equipment: Amended future cashflow to include consistent treatment of management fees to shareholders and tax losses at the date of acquisition. This results in a reduction of $18.5 to $184.8million.
(3) Exploration and evaluation asset: amended to the reported 31 March 2020 resource statement instead of the June 2019 resource statement, which the original valuation was based on. This resulted in a reduction of $3.7 million to $111.7 million.
(4) Deferred tax: amended to reflect the income tax adjustment at the average income tax rate of the amendment to the exploration and evaluation assets.
(5) The gain on revaluation of associate on acquisition: amended as a result of the finalization of the value of the associate at acquisition date.
(6) Non Controlling Interest: The decrease in Non Controlling interest is the allocation of the various movements to the various minority shareholder interest at the date of acquisition.
Performance from Acquisition Date to 30 June 2020:
From the Acquisition Date to 30 June 2020, Universal has contributed $95,312,000 revenue and a loss after tax of $6,153,000.
If the business combination had taken place at the beginning of the year, revenue would have been $451,922,000 and profit before tax would have been $11,323,000.
Transaction costs of $6,035,000 were expensed and are included in other operating and administration expenses in the period to 30 June 2020.

(1) The cash consideration for the Universal acquisition was 10 cents per Universal share held. The Company acquired 321,217,068 shares in Universal as at 27 March 2020 under the takeover, however as at that date the Company held a total shareholding equivalent to 81.48%, representing 61.49% of Universal acquired under the takeover offer and 19.995% acquired by the Company prior to the takeover offer). Cash consideration in the amount of $32,121,707 was paid to acquire the 61.49% of Universal and an additional $17,310,191 cash consideration was paid for the initial 19.995%).
(2) The equity consideration for the Universal acquisition was 0.6026 new TerraCom shares per Universal share held. The Company issued 193,565,407 ordinary shares as consideration for the 81.48% interest in Universal. The fair value of the shares was calculated with reference to the quoted price of the shares of the Company on each issue date of the shares. The fair value of the equity component of the consideration was therefore $36,564,276 (in addition to the $13,852,257 in shares issued for the initial 19.995%).
The Group acquired the remaining 18.52% of Universal prior to 30 June 2020, for a total consideration of $18.17 million (cash consideration of $9.68 million and TerraCom shares at fair value of $8.49 million). Increases in the ownership after Acquisition Date (27 March 2020) do not result in the recognition of a gain or loss. The acquisition of these shares was treated as discrete transactions rather than part of a single acquisition arrangement.

15. Other financial assets
Mining rehabilitation guarantees 8,362 4,737
Legislation stipulates that all mining operations within South Africa are required to make a provision for environmental rehabilitation during the Life of Mine and at closure. In line with this requirement, the Group has entered into policies with a reputable insurance broker to set aside funds for aforementioned purposes. On the back of these policies, the insurance broker provides the required mining rehabilitation guarantees which are accepted by South Africa's Department of Mineral Resources. The Group makes annual premium payments towards structured products that will allow the matching of the environmental rehabilitation liability against the Group assets over a period of time.
This financial asset comprises principal payments made to the insurer plus interest received on these payments over time, as a result it is recorded at amortised cost. Costs associated with the facility are expensed as incurred.

Right-of-use Assets
Right-of-use assets consist of mining plant and equipment and an office lease.
Impairment
At each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there are indicators of impairment or impairment reversal with respect to its mining assets. When indicators of impairment or impairment reversal are identified, impairment testing is performed to determine their recoverable amount. If the carrying value of the assets exceeds this recoverable amount, an impairment loss is charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income with a corresponding reduction in the asset value. If the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying value for an asset which was previously impaired a partial or full reversal is recorded.
For mining assets, the expected future cash flows are based on a number of factors, variables and assumptions. In most cases, the present value of future cash flows is most sensitive to estimates of future commodity price, foreign exchange and discount rates. The future cash flows for the FVLCD calculation are based on estimates, the most significant of which are coal reserves, future production profiles, commodity prices, operating costs, any future development costs necessary to produce the reserves and value attributable to additional resource and exploration opportunities beyond reserves based on production plans. The FVLCD calculation is categorised within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Future commodity prices are based on the Group’s best estimate of future market prices with reference to external market analysts’ forecasts, current spot prices and forward curves. The Group’s coal price forecasts include the expected impact of climate change and potential policy responses as one of the many factors that can affect long term scenarios. The Group’s independent research into forecast coal consumption suggests that the global demand for the Group’s products will continue over the life of the respective assets. Future commodity prices are reviewed at least annually. Where volumes are contracted, future prices are based on the contracted price.
In the event that future circumstances vary from these assumptions, the recoverable amount of the Group’s CGUs could change materially and result in impairment losses or the reversal of previous impairment losses.
The Company assessed that the lower coal sales, due to the COVID-19 pandemic lock downs, was an impairment indicator and performed a formal impairment assessment of all South African CGU’s (Ubuntu, NCC and NBC). The result of the assessment was that no impairment was required at 30 June 2021. The Blair Athol mine did not have any impairment indicators.
The recoverable value of the Company’s Coal Resources and Reserves (including its plant and equipment) is most sensitive to three items which are as follows:
-
Domestic thermal coal demand. In determining this the Company has considered the contracted volumes it has contracted with domestic power producers, as well as the South African forecasted electricity demand over the mine life.
-
Export coal demand. In determining this the Company has considered its export contracted volumes, as well as the forecasted coal demand over the mine life.
-
USD coal prices. In determining this the Company has considered the futures pricing on or around 30 June 2021.
-
ZAR:USD foreign exchange rate. In determining this the Company has considered the futures pricing on or around 30 June 2021.
-
Operating mine costs. The South African mines (NBC, NCC and Ubuntu) are contract operated mine sites. In determining this, the Company has considered its existing operating contracts with its suppliers.

(2) The estimated quantities of economically recoverable reserves and resources are based on interpretations of geological and geophysical models, which require assumptions to be made on factors, including future operating performance, capital requirements, and economic assumptions (coal price and foreign exchange). Any change in the recoverable reserves and resources may result in an amendment to the life of the mine.
Any material change in these assumptions or circumstances may result in a future impairment being recognised in future reporting periods.

Exploration and evaluation
The recoverability of the carrying amounts of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest. The current balance relates to a number of areas of interest in Australia and South Africa.
The Group identified a number of indicators of impairment, related to market conditions and the Group's strategic plans. As a result, a number of areas of interest were determined to have a recoverable amount of nil based on a range of market values. As a result of this, the Group has recognised an impairment of $33,576,000 in the Statement of Profit or Loss for the year ended 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: nil).
The Mongolian exploration assets were disposed of on 23 June 2020 as part of the sale to Bridge Resources Pte Ltd.

The deferred tax liability above relates to various South African subsidiaries, net of recognised deferred tax assets which can be legally offset. The deferred tax asset relates to the Australian tax jurisdiction, therefore has not been offset against the deferred tax liability. The deferred tax liability that was brought to account on acquisition of Universal Coal Plc in the prior period was $30.8 million, refer to note 4.
TerraCom Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities are part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law. The head entity, TerraCom Limited and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The Group has applied the Group allocation approach in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, TerraCom Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group. The current and deferred tax amounts are measured in a systematic manner that is consistent with the board principles in AASB 112 Income Taxes.

Convertible Note facility
On 24 December 2019 TerraCom completed a Convertible Bond Facility for US$20 million with Madison Pacific Trust Limited being appointed as the Note Trustee, and the Initial Noteholders comprising OL Master (Singapore Fund 1) Pte Ltd (OCP Asia).

24. Provisions
Environmental
The rehabilitation provision represents the present value of rehabilitation costs relating to mine sites, which are expected to be incurred over the life of the estimated life of the mine (up to 13 years), which is when the producing mine properties are expected to cease operations. These provisions have been created based on the Group’s internal estimates. Assumptions based on the current economic environment have been made, which management believes are a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability. These estimates are reviewed regularly to take into account any material changes to the assumptions. However, actual rehabilitation costs will ultimately depend upon future market prices for the necessary rehabilitation works required that will reflect market conditions at the relevant time. Furthermore, the timing of rehabilitation is likely to depend on when the mines cease to produce at economically viable rates. This, in turn, will depend upon future coal prices, which are inherently uncertain.

A significant amount of the movement in the rehabilitation provision relates to the non-cash accounting adjustments (that is no change in the underlying rehabilitation that is required to be completed):
(1) The increase in the Blair Athol mine rehabilitation provision relates to the year on the year change in macro assumptions relating to inflation and discount rate.
(2) $7.34 million of the increase is the application of accounting for rehabilitation asset and rehabilitation provision. There is a corresponding asset increase in property, plant and equipment (refer note 16).
(3) $8.49 million of the increase in the provision relate to fluctuation in exchange rates year on year when converting the South African Rand denominated provision to the Australian Dollar presentation currency.

Capital risk management
The Group's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or Company was seen as value adding relative to the current Company's share price at the time of the investment.
The Group is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these is given priority in all capital risk management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during the financial year.
The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 2020 Annual Report.

34. Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.
Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('Finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the Group and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the Group's operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis.

CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2021 continued
34. Financial instruments (continued)
Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.
The United States Dollar (USD) is the functional currency of the group except for the Australian exploration, United Kingdom and South African subsidiaries. As a result, currency exposure exists arising from the transaction and balances in currencies other than USD (Australian Dollars and South African Rand). The Group still has an exposure with respect to purchases not denominated or determined by USD – as at reporting date the Group operates in Australia and South Africa and therefore has determined its two largest currency risk exposures are to the Australian Dollar (AUD) and South African Rand (ZAR). The Group closely monitors its foreign exchange risk in Australia and South Africa to ensure it is at an acceptable level of risk.
The Group also has an additional presentation currency exposure as the presentation currency of the financial statements for the Group is in Australian Dollar (AUD).

Price risk
Commodity price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices largely due to demand and supply factors for commodities.
The Group is continuing to monitor its exposure to commodity price risk. As at reporting date thermal coal and coking coal prices are significantly up since July 2020. There is still uncertainty in the market and the cost to implement an effective hedging strategy to manage the commodity price risk is quite substantial compared to the hedging prices available make this strategy ineffective. On this basis the Group has decided to not implement strategies to reduce its exposure to downside in prices. As commodity prices stabilise and market uncertainty is reduced the Group will consider strategies to manage this risk.

Interest rate risk
The Group's main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose the Group to interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk.
As at the reporting date, the Group had the following variable rate borrowings outstanding:
| 2021 | 2021 | 2020 | 2020 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weighted | Balance | Weighted | Balance | |||

| Net exposure to cash flow interest rate risk | 63,001 | 25,047 |
An analysis by remaining contractual maturities is shown in 'liquidity and interest rate risk management' below.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits. The Group obtains guarantees where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carryin g amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The Group does not hold any collateral.
The Group has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of the Group based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available.
Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year.
The Group does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure.
The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties, and as such collateral is not requested.
It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures including an assessment of their independent credit rating, financial position, past experience and industry reputation. Risk limits are set for each individual customer in accordance with parameters set by the board. These risk limits are regularly monitored.
In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis.

Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.

Control considerations where 50% or less of share capital held
The Group’s wholly owned subsidiary Universal Coal and Energy Holdings South Africa (Pty) Ltd ( UCEHSA ) holds the interest in the subsidiaries noted below.
Universal Coal Development II (Pty) Limited ( UCDII )
Although the Group owns 50% of UCDII, the Company has determined that the Group controls the entity because within the shareholder arrangement UCEHSA has an option to purchase a further 24% of shares in UCDII. UCEHSA has the practical ability to exercise the option as no restriction exists on the exercise of the option. This potential voting right has therefore, been considered to be substantive and has been included in the Company's assessment as to whether UCEHSA has control.
Universal Coal Development III (Pty) limited ( UCDIII )
Although the Group owns less than 50% of UCDIII, the Company has determined that the Group controls the entity because UCEHSA manages and directly controls the entity by virtue of an operating and management agreement and has the current ability to direct the entities activities. The relevant current activities are the development of the Ubuntu Colliery and infrastructure and planned future activities will be mining, processing and selling of coal. As UCEHSA has operational control over UCDIII and is exposed to and has rights to variable returns from its involvement with UCDIII and has the ability to affect those returns through its operational power over UCDIII, the Company is accounted for as a subsidiary.

Although the Group owns less than 50% of UCDIV, the Company has determined that the Group controls the entity because UCEHSA manages and directly controls the entity by virtue of an operating and management agreement, receiving substantially all of the returns related to their operations and net assets and has the current ability to direct the entities activities that most significantly affect these returns. The relevant activities are the mining, processing and selling of coal. As UCEHSA has operational control over UCDIV, is exposed to and has rights to variable returns from its involvement with UCDIV and has the ability to affect those returns through its operational power over UCDIV, the Company is accounted for as a subsidiary.
Eloff Agriculture and Mining Company (Pty) Limited ( Eloff ) and Manyeka Coal Mines (Pty) Limited ( Manyeka )
The Group holds an effective shareholding of 49% in the Eloff Project and Manyeka through its investment in UCDIV. As established above, UCEHSA has operational control over UCDIV and the Company is therefore accounted for as a subsidiary.
North Block Complex (Pty) limited ( NBC )
Although the Group owns less than 50% of NBC, the Company has determined that the Group controls the entity because UCEHSA manages and directly controls the entity by virtue of an operating and management agreement, receiving substantially all of the returns related to their operations and net assets and has the current ability to direct the entities activities that most significantly affect these returns. The relevant activities are the mining, processing and selling of coal. As UCEHSA has operational control over NBC, is exposed to and has rights to variable returns from its involvement with NBC and has the ability to affect those returns through its operational power over NBC, the Company is accounted for as a subsidiary.
Universal Coal Development V (Pty) Limited ( UCDV )
Although the Group owns 50% of UCDV, the Company has determined that the Group controls the entity because UCEHSA has an option to exercise a further 24% share purchase and has the practical ability to exercise the option as no restriction exists on the exercise of the option. Therefore, the right to exercise this option is considered substantive and has been included in management's assessment as to whether UCEHSA has control.
Universal Coal Development VII (Pty) Limited ( UCDVII )
Although the Group owns 50% of UCDVII, the Company has determined that the Group controls the entity because the chairman of the Board of UCDVII, who has the casting vote at Directors meetings, is a Director of and appointed by UCEHSA. The Board is responsible for the management of UCDVII.
Universal Coal Development VIII (Pty) Limited ( UCDVIII )
Although the Group owns less than 50% of UCDVIII, the Company has determined that the Group controls the entity because UCEHSA manages and directly controls the entity by virtue of an operating and management agreement, receiving substantially all of the returns related to their operations and net assets and has the current ability to direct the entities activities that most significantly affect these returns. The relevant activities are the mining, processing and selling of coal.

42. Events after the reporting period
As announced to the ASX on 21 September 2021, the Company has obtained an extension of the Euroclear Bond maturity date to 8 October 2021. In the event the refinance program is not settled by 8 October 2021, then the Company, Note Trustee and Ordinary Noteholders will enact a restructured finance arrangement of the existing debt. This restructuring requires the principal and interest to be paid monthly up to the facility’s extended maturity date, being 31 December 2022, on commercial terms consistent with the existing facility (interest rate of 12.5% per annum, special interest of 0.75% of Blair Athol revenue). The monthly repayment quantum to be made is subject to an agreed cash sweep based on the Company’s financial performance.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of TerraCom Limited
Report on the audit of the financial report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of TerraCom Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
a. Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2021 and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
b. Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1.2 in the financial report, which indicates that the Group has a significant current liability position at 30 June 2021 due in large part to its requirement to refinance its Listed Euroclear Bond and Convertible Note Facility. These facilities were originally due for repayment on 30 June 2021, but have since been deferred to 8 October 2021. The Group is in the process of refinancing these obligations and should this not be completed by 8 October 2021, an extension of the existing facilities has been granted by the lenders to 31 December 2022, subject to the completion of long form legal documentation by 30 November 2021. This condition, along with other matters set forth in Note 1.2, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial report.
1. Carrying Value of the South African Mining Cash Generating Units
| Why significant | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|---|---|
| At 30 June 2021 the Group’s South African mining cash generating units (“CGUs”) had a combined carrying amount of $200.1 million. Australian Accounting Standards require the Group to assess whether there are any indicators that its non-current assets may be impaired. If such indicator exists, the Group must estimate the recoverable amount of the asset. At 30 June 2021, the Group determined indicators of impairment were present for its South African mining CGUs and estimated the recoverable amount of the CGUs using a fair value less cost of disposal (“FVLCD”) approach. The Group’s analysis concluded that no impairment was required. As disclosed in Note 16, the estimate of FVLCD involves significant judgment and is based on modelling a range of forecast assumptions and estimates which are inherently difficult to determine with precision. Such forecasts include export and South African domestic thermal coal demand, future export thermal coal pricing, foreign exchanges rates and reserves and resources. |
Our audit procedures were completed with the assistance of our valuation experts. In performing our procedures, we: • Evaluated the Group’s identification of its CGUs and its quantification of the carrying amount of its CGUs. • Considered whether indicators of impairment were present for each CGU. • Evaluated whether the methodology applied in determining FVLCD complied with the requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards and generally accepted industry practice. • Assessed the mathematical accuracy of the valuation models, the recoverable amount calculation, the carrying value, and the headroom determined by the models. • Assessed the macroeconomic assumptions adopted, including forecast South African export thermal coal price and forecast foreign exchange rates, with reference to broker consensus data. • Evaluated the discount rate with reference to external market data including South African government bond rates and South African market data. |

==> picture [86 x 101] intentionally omitted <==
Why significant
Export demand and pricing is a significant assumption used in impairment testing and is inherently subjective. In times of economic uncertainty, as the COVID-19 pandemic has brought, the degree of subjectivity in determining forecast demand and pricing is higher than it might otherwise be. Changes in these assumptions can result in significant changes to the recoverable amount.
Due to the significance of the carrying amount of the South African mining CGUs relative to total assets and the complexity and level of judgment required in forecasting future cash flows, we considered this to be a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
-
Evaluated the production profile, operating cost data and capital expenditure forecasts, with reference to third party expert forecasts prepared as part of the prior year acquisition accounting and recent production, operating and cost data.
-
• Considered deviations from budget including the reasons for these differences, and the impact on the forecast cash flows.
-
• Understood the Group’s process for measuring its coal reserve and resources, including its internal technical review process (by a competent person under the JORC code 2012) and the review performed by an independent third-party expert as part of the finalisation of the prior year acquisition accounting.
-
• Evaluated the qualifications, competence and objectivity of the experts used by the Group to determine the coal production forecasts and coal reserve and resource estimates.
-
• Undertook sensitivity analysis to understand the impact to recoverable amount in respect of reasonably possible changes in key assumptions.
-
• Cross checked the valuations to resource multiples appropriate to the assets.
-
• Cross checked the total Group net assets to market capitalisation.
-
• Considered the adequacy of the related disclosures in the notes to the financial statements.

2. South African Operations – Reliance on Non-EY component team
Why significant
As detailed in Note 3 to the financial report, the Group has significant operations outside of Australia, in South Africa. These decentralised operations require adequate monitoring activities from a financial reporting perspective.
In our role as group auditor, we are required to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities (“components”) within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the Group audit.
Given the financial significance of components to the Group result, our direction and supervision of the component audit team in South Africa, being a non- EY component team (“Component Auditor”) was considered a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
In fulfilling our responsibilities as group auditor:
-
We performed a risk assessment and component scoping at the consolidated group level and, based on this scoping, identified the components required to be audited by the Component Auditor.
-
We sent instructions to the Component Auditor detailing significant audit areas to be covered, including the relevant risks and the information to be reported to the Group audit team. The Group audit team approved the component materiality, having regard to the size and risk profile of the component relative to the Group.
-
The Component Auditor provided written confirmation to the Group audit team confirming the work performed and the results of that work as well as key documents supporting independence, significant findings and observations.
-
To ensure sufficient oversight, we, as the Group audit team:
-
Held meetings with the Component Auditor to discuss the outcome and extent of their procedures.
-
Reviewed underlying working papers and documentation of the Component Auditor for selected areas of audit focus.
-
Engaged EY South Africa’s valuation and tax specialists, to assist in the review of the Component Auditor’s work.
-
Engaged EY South Africa’s mining and reserve specialists to undertake site tours of the Group’s South African operating mines to confirm our understanding of the operations.
-
Undertook our own detailed assessment of asset carrying values, as outlined above.

| Why significant | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|---|---|
| • We, as the Group audit team, ensured the trial balance and related supporting schedules audited by the Component Auditor agreed to the Group consolidation schedule and where relevant financial statement notes. • We assessed the accounting policies of the components for consistency with the Group’s accounting policies and tested the Group’s accounting for intercompany transactions. |
3. Carrying Value of Australian Exploration and Evaluation Assets
| Why significant | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|---|---|
| At 30 June 2021, the Group recorded an impairment charge of $33.6 million in respect of its Australian Exploration and Evaluation (“E&E”) assets, relating to thermal coal projects in the Galilee basin in Queensland, Australia. In accordance with the Group’s accounting policy outlined in Note 1, E&E assets are initially recognised at cost and any additional expenditure is capitalised to the exploration asset. At each reporting date the Group assesses its E&E assets for indicators of impairment in line with the Australian Accounting Standards. As described in note 17, as a result of the Group’s shift in the focus of its operations to South Africa, the Group has determined there are indicators of impairment for all of its Australian E&E assets with the exception of one exploration site. For E&E assets where indicators of impairment were identified the carrying value of these assets has been impaired to $nil. Given the amount of this write down and the judgment involved in the assessment of indicators of impairment, we consider this a key audit matter. |
Our audit procedures included the following: • Assessed the completeness of the Group’s analysis of indicators of impairment. • Considered the Group’s right to explore in the relevant exploration area which included obtaining and assessing supporting documentation such as license agreements. • Considered the Group’s intention to carry out significant exploration and evaluation activity in the relevant exploration areas by reviewing the Group’s exploration budgets, and relevant enquiries of senior management within the Group as to their intentions and exploration strategy. • For E&E assets where indicators or impairment were identified, assessed the impairment charge recorded by considering the carrying amount of the E&E assets and the Group’s expectation as to the amount that would be to recovered through sale. • For E&E assets where no impairment indicators were identified, compared the carrying amount of the E&E assets to an external valuation report obtained by the Group and resource multiples achieved in recent comparable market transactions. • Assessed of the adequacy of the associated disclosures in the financial report. |

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s 2021 annual report other than the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. We obtained the directors’ report that is to be included in the annual report, prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and we expect to obtain the remaining sections of the annual report after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation
==> picture [86 x 101] intentionally omitted <==
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
