Australia - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The Australian economy has experienced continuous growth and features low unemployment, contained inflation, very low public debt, and a strong and stable financial system. By 2012, Australia had experienced more than 20 years of continued economic growth, averaging 3.5% a year. Demand for resources and energy from Asia and especially China has grown rapidly, creating a channel for resources investments and growth in commodity exports. The high Australian dollar has hurt the manufacturing sector, while the services sector is the largest part of the Australian economy, accounting for about 70% of GDP and 75% of jobs. Australia was comparatively unaffected by the global financial crisis as the banking system has remained strong and inflation is under control. Australia has benefited from a dramatic surge in its terms of trade in recent years, stemming from rising global commodity prices. Australia is a significant exporter of natural resources, energy, and food. Australia's abundant and diverse natural resources attract high levels of foreign investment and include extensive reserves of coal, iron, copper, gold, natural gas, uranium, and renewable energy sources. A series of major investments, such as the US$40 billion Gorgon Liquid Natural Gas project, will significantly expand the resources sector. Australia is an open market with minimal restrictions on imports of goods and services. The process of opening up has increased productivity, stimulated growth, and made the economy more flexible and dynamic. Australia plays an active role in the World Trade Organization, APEC, the G20, and other trade forums. Australia has bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs) with Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, and the US, has a regional FTA with ASEAN and New Zealand, is negotiating agreements with China, India, Indonesia, Japan, and the Republic of Korea, as well as with its Pacific neighbors and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, and is also working on the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement with Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the US, and Vietnam.

Griffin Coal Settles AUD 3.5 Billion Lawsuit by Perdaman

Lanco Infratech's Australian subsidiary, Griffin Coal, has settled protracted

litigation for a claim of AUD 3.5 billion initiated by Perdaman Chemicals

against the company. The Australian coal miner has agreed to pay

Perdaman a nominal amount of AUD 7.5 million and legal costs to be taxed

by the Court, without admission of any of the allegations of Perdaman.

Alleging non-compliance with coal supply pact for the company's upcoming

urea plant in Western Australia, Perdaman Industries filed an AUD 3.5

billion lawsuit against Lanco in Australia in 2011. This settlement was

reached pursuant to the rules of Supreme Court of Western Australia,

which allows for early and cost effective resolution of such claims.

Lanco Infratech May Sell Stake In Griffin Coal And Other Projects

Lanco Infratech Limited (BSE:532778) can sell a stake in Griffin Coal

Mining Company Pty Ltd. in next one year. Nagaprasad Kandimalla, its

Chief Executive of Business Development, said that Lanco could sell a

stake in Griffin Coal in the next one year, and also take loans and raise

money from its own cash flow for the investment. A sale of shares in the

coal unit could see "a good response" because of the settlement with

Perdaman Chemicals and Fertilizers, he added. Lanco is also looking at

options like stake sale in local power and road projects to raise funds and

cut its overall debt. Lanco's shares rose 10% to INR 11.60.

Lanco Infratech subsidiary wins case in Australian court

The Supreme Court of Western Australia has ruled in favour of Griffin Coal

Mining Company, a subsidiary of diversified infrastructure Indian

conglomerate, Lanco Infratech

 

Lanco Infratech has won a legal battle in Australia against Perdaman

Chemicals and Fertilizers Pty Ltd. Lanco Infratech, through its Australian

subsidiary, Lanco Resources Australia, had acquired Griffin Coal Mining

Company and Carpenter Mine Management in February 2011.

 

The Supreme Court of Western Australia allowed subsidiary Griffin Coal

Mining Company Pty Ltd to enter into revised Coal Supply Agreement

(CSA) with Griffin Power entities. The latter is in the process of being

acquired by Japanese consortium of Sumitomo Corp and Kansai Electric

Power Co.

 

The Supreme Court of Western Australia has rejected the contention of

Perdaman Chemicals and Fertilizers Pty Ltd.

 

Lanco Infratech Executive Chairman L Madhusudhan Rao said, ``The

revised CSA will result in a gain of approximately A$ 150 million, including

a substantial upfront payment to Griffin Coal Mining Company Pty Ltd''.

 

Lanco has acquired Griffin Coal for A$ 720 million in February 2011. Last

year, Griffin produced over 3 million tonnes of coal.

The power plant associated with Griffin Coal mine is in the process of being

sold to the Japanese consortium and a new coal supply agreement was to

be signed.

 

However, Perdaman Chemicals, which filed a case for damages amounting

to $3.2 billion, had sought an interim stay against a deal with the Japanese

buyers. The court rejected the plea. The main case for damages, lodged by

Perdaman against Lanco Griffin, is to be heard by February-March 2013.

 

The Lanco Group filed a counter claim for damages on the ground that the

petition was vexatious.

 

At the end of November, Lanco Infratech had spoken about the Bluewaters

power project, which is located near Griffin coal mines, and was sold to

Sumitomo Corporation and Kansai Electric. The Lanco arm in Australia is

to supply about 1.8 million tonnes of coal for over 25 years to Bluewaters

project, as per agreement.

"Following the recent sale to the Japanese consortium, the coal supply

contract was renegotiated for next 25 years. This will help us gain $150

million, including upfront payment of $50 million,'' Nagaprasad Kandimalla,

Lanco Infra CEO had said.

 

The Indian major is currently producing 3.7 million tonnes a year and

expects to increase it to about 5 million tonne next year.

 

In a related development, Lanco Infratech has also reportedly begun talks

with Indian firms, JSW Energy and Adani Power, to sell a power plant in

Karnataka as banks pile pressure on debt laden power companies to sell

assets and improve cash flow.

 

Preliminary discussions have taken place between JSW Energy, Lanco

and Adani for the sale of the 1,200 mw coal fired Udupi power plant.

High debt, paucity of both coal and gas and defaults by bankrupt state

electricity boards have put immense strain on the cash flows of private

power firms. Lanco had begun talks with banks some months ago, seeking

easier repayment terms for its debt of $5.9 billion (Rs 325 billion), one of

the largest among private power producers.

 

15 December 2010

 

Lanco Infratech to acquire Griffin Coal Mining Co

Mumbai: Lanco Infratech Ltd with business interests in construction,

Power, EPC, Infrastructure and Property Development has come into a

binding agreement with Griffin Energy Group Pvt Ltd (Administrators

Appointed) and Carpenter Mine Management Holdings Pty Ltd

(Administrators Appointed) to purchase 100% shares of Griffin Coal Mining

Company Pty Ltd and Carpenter Mine Management Pty Ltd (Griffin Coal).

 

This was done through their Australian subsidiary Lanco Resources

Australia Pty Ltd.

 

Griffin coal owns the largest operational thermal coal mines in Western

Australia. The mine currently produces over 4 mtpa of coal and can be

ramped up to over 15 mpta in the near term, post development of

evacuation infrastructure. The mining tenements contain over 1.1 billion

tonnes of JORC compliant thermal coal resources. The mine is located in

close proximity to India for better trade with India. The mine is also easily

accessible by rail and road and better connectivity with other mines in

Australia.

 

Suresh Kumar, CFO of Lanco Infratech Limited, said: “The acquisition of

Griffin Coal is an important component of our development strategy,

providing increased fuel security for our current power generation assets

and future power portfolio expansions. This acquisition also presents an

opportunity to Lanco to participate in the burgeoning natural resources

trading market."
