The Movers & Shakers for the month of April were: • Aziana Limited, whose market capitalisation increased

by AU$54m (277.9%) to AU$74m

• Coal of Africa Limited, whose market capitalisation increased by AU$34m (75%) to finish the month at AU$78m

• Buru Energy Limited, whose market capitalisation increased by AU$75m (68.7%) to close at AU$184m.

The market capitalisation of WA listed companies which comprise the Deloitte WA Index increased by 1.7% during April to close at AU$131bn. The Index’s performance was boosted by stronger commodity prices, providing welcome relief and a small sign of recovery in the Western Australian market. The majority of commodities surveyed increased during the month, in particular crude oil, reaching its highest price so far for 2015 to close at US$64.06 per barrel. The increase came as oil drilling activities in the U.S. continued to decrease, coupled with increasing tension in the Middle East, which has increased speculation of possible supply disruption.

Iron ore rose by 9.4% to close at US$58 per tonne. During April, BHP Billiton Limited slowed the expansion of its export terminal in Port Hedland to 290 million tonnes a year, which is expected to ease oversupply, reducing downward pressure on prices, Fortescue Metals Group experienced its strongest trading day in three years and BC Iron Limited’s share price doubled in a week.

The majority of equity markets surveyed this month posted positive results, with the All Ordinaries being the only exception, suffering a 1.5% decline. The FTSE 100 was the best performer, increasing 2.8%, while the Deloitte WA Index and the Nikkei increased by 1.7% and 1.6% respectively, followed by the US S&P 500 with an increase of 0.9%.

The loss experienced by the All Ordinaries was despite the rebound in commodity prices, as concerns mounted over the direction of the RBA’s official cash rate, the appreciation of the Australian dollar and suggestions that Australia’s AAA credit rating was at risk unless the Federal Government can display a credible plan for returning the Budget to surplus.

Strengthening commodity prices contributed to a gain of 2.8% for the FTSE 100. Mining stocks rallied following the news that China had implemented stimulus measures by reducing cash reserves held by banks to revitalise recent slower growth. The Nikkei continued its steady growth, increasing by 1.7% due to the continued improvements in company earnings. The U.S. S&P 500 also experienced moderate growth, posting a gain of 0.9% on the back of better than expected first quarter company results and recovering oil prices.

Executive summary

Welcome to the 145th edition of the Deloitte WA Stock Exchange Index (Deloitte WA Index), a monthly review of Western Australian (WA) stocks and indices.

Deloitte WA Index performance against the ASX All Ordinaries and Overseas Indices

The Deloitte WA Index rose 1.7% during April as major iron ore miners in Western Australia benefited from recovering iron ore prices. The iron ore price rose to just below US$60 per tonne on the back of the announcement by China’s central bank that they will soon launch a credit easing program which is hoped to stimulate further growth, combined with inventory replenishments by Chinese steel mills. The Department of Industry and Science in Australia remained upbeat and forecast that iron ore prices will remain around US$60 per tonne for the remainder of 2015. The biggest winner for the month was Fortescue Metals Group which saw gains of nearly 11.0% in a single day’s trade as investor demand for their corporate bonds yielding 9.8% per annum exceeded initial expectations. This favourable response from investors saw its market capitalisation rise by AU$0.7bn (10.7%).

The ASX All Ordinaries fell by 1.5% during the month largely as a result of uncertainties surrounding the direction of the Reserve Bank of Australia’s official cash rate. Similarly the nation’s worsening economic climate and the current political standoff over the federal budget has raised speculations of an increased risk of Australia’s credit rating being downgraded.

Australia has been able to maintain its current AAA credit rating since 1986. Investors were quick to sell off finance stocks amid the fiscal uncertainty, with all major banks finishing in the red this month.

ANZ, Commonwealth Bank, National Australia Bank and Westpac Banking Corporation all suffered the largest decreases in market capitalisation, driving aggregate losses of approximately AU$27.3bn from the All Ordinaries.

The US S&P 500 increased by a meagre 0.9% as consumer confidence rose to its second highest level since 2007. Earnings reports were the focus for investors with the S&P 500 being lifted by strong corporate quarterly earnings, including stronger than expected results from the tech giant Microsoft. Microsoft saw its market capitalisation increasing by 18.3% in April after announcing higher than expected earnings per share of 61 cents on revenue totalling US$21.7bn in its fiscal third quarter.

The majority of the equity markets surveyed, with the exception of the ASX All Ordinaries experienced gains during April due to the rebound in iron ore and crude oil prices. The surge in commodity prices spurred optimism in markets, with the strengthening iron ore price driven by the announcement by China’s central bank that they will soon launch a credit easing program and restocking of inventories by Chinese steel mills. Global markets were led this month by the FTSE 100 which reported gains of 2.8%. The ASX All Ordinaries posted a decrease of 1.5% over fresh doubt about the Australian economy and the direction of interest rates.

3 | Issue 145 - Western Australian Stock Exchange Index

The FTSE 100 was the best performer in April, gaining 2.8% as resources stocks rallied from news of stimulus measures in China to spur its slowing growth. One of the key movers in April was BG Group plc, which saw its market capitalisation increase by 42.7% on news of a proposed takeover by Royal Dutch Shell. The agreement to buy BG Group for £47bn in cash and shares is anticipated to be one of the largest acquisitions of 2015, which could produce a company with market capitalisation in excess of £200bn.

The growth experienced by the Nikkei slowed down after experiencing stellar performance over the past 12 months, increasing by 1.6%. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. was the largest mover in April, experiencing a market capitalisation increase of 15.1%, driven largely by expectations that the group will report a net profit in excess of JPY¥1 trillion (approximately AUD$10.5bn) for financial year ended 31 March 2015, up from a record of JPY¥984.8bn in the prior fiscal period. The increased earnings expectation for Japan’s largest bank has been driven by successful acquisitions in overseas markets and the weakened Japanese Yen.

The Crude oil price increased by 16.8% over the course of the month. Significantly, stockpiles remain at a record high, however upward pressure on global supply is starting to ease, and the utilisation of U.S. exploration drill rigs is decreasing and stockpile growth rates are beginning to decline. Additionally, continued tension within the oil rich Middle East has heightened concerns of potential supply disruptions.

Iron ore prices rebounded during April, increasing by 9.4%. Prices reached 10 year lows of US$46.70 per tonne earlier in the month, however prices trended upward since then to reach nearly US$60 per tonne at the end of the month. The increase has been attributed to the announcement by China’s central bank that they will soon launch a credit easing program which is hoped to stimulate further growth and improve liquidity within the country. Furthermore, announcements of supply cutbacks and improved market sentiment within China has also played a role in the increase in the iron ore price.

Safe haven metals gold and silver, experienced decreases of 0.4% and 0.1% respectively for the month of April. News of higher U.S. interest rates, low inflation rates, a rise in treasury yields and speculation that the borrowing rates will increase has combined in lowering investor interest in gold in favour of high-yield assets such as equities. Demand for silver has also soured recently on the back the slowdown of economic growth in China.

Platinum and palladium prices increased 3.5% and 6.9% respectively over the month of April. China’s low demand in recent months has resulted in both metals struggling with April results showing a reversal in fortunes. Platinum’s increase is due to an increase in Chinese imports, with January and February representing the largest import quantities in any two-month period for the past 5 years. Platinum and Palladium’s improved fortunes are attributed to increasing car sales most notably in China, given that a significant portion of their global supply goes into the production of catalytic converters.

Commodities price movements over the past month were varied, with strong gains within the energy and bulk commodities contrasting mixed performance in the precious and base metals. One of the main drivers behind the surge in commodity prices was China’s central bank releasing news of a monetary easing program, driving demand for base metals.

6 | Issue 145 - Western Australian Stock Exchange Index

Lead and zinc increased by 14.6% and 10.6% respectively during the month. Lead has rebounded from a 5 year low, on the back of increased demand from the automobile industry which utilises the metal in the production of car batteries, accounting for 85% of global demand. Chinese demand in particular has fuelled the increase in global car sales with Chinese automobile sales also expected to rise by more than 7% in 2015. Zinc prices have increased on the back of a suspected supply deficit which is expected to double to 584,000 tonnes in 2015. The closure of the MMG Limited Century mine in Australia has heightened concerns over low global supplies which when added to the increase in Chinese automobile production, has driven the price increase.

Unlike other base metals, tin decreased by 7.5% during the month, due to low global demand and higher exports from Myanmar into China, more than offsetting inflationary pressures driven by declining inventories.

Other base metals such as copper and nickel experienced gains during the month due to the continued demand from China and supply constraints in South America. Global copper demand has continued to increase, which coupled with concerns over supply disruptions in Chile, which accounts for an estimated 30% of global supply, has lead to the rising cooper price. Nickel supply came under threat due to strikes at BHP Billiton Limited’s Columbian operations, and export bans in Indonesia resulting in significant decreases in Chinese stockpiles.

Coal prices trended upwards over the month increasing by 8.2%. The improvement in both crude oil and coal prices are testament to the improved sentiment toward the energy market as a whole.

Aziana LimitedAziana Limited (“Aziana”) increased its market capitalisation by 277.9% from AU$20m to AU$74m during the month ended 30 April 2015. As at 30 April 2015 Aziana was ranked 100th in the Deloitte WA index, moving up 123 places from 223rd.

Aziana is a Western Australian established company which has historically been focused on mineral exploration in Madagascar. Aziana’s operations in Madagascar include the Manatenina Bauxite Project, Anasivola Copper-Gold-Molybdenum Project and Belanitra Graphite Project. Currently, Aziana is going through a transformational phase that will see the company transition from a resource exploration focused entity to a technology company. This transition commenced with Aziana’s sale of its Louisiana Oil & Gas projects at the end of 2014. In March 2015, Aziana agreed to a conditional contract to sell its Manatenina Bauxite Project and, in the same month entered to an agreement to acquire a US-based tech company called BrainChip. The BrainChip transaction remains subject to conditions, including shareholder approval, preparing a full form prospectus and completion of an equity raising.

Aziana’s market capitalisation surged by 277.9%, from 10 cents to 36 cents during the month following the announcement of the BrainChip acquisition. BrainChip is a United States company based in California, that founded and owns one of the world’s leading patented artificial intelligence technologies. This includes the creation of a Neural Computing technology that autonomously has the ability to learn, evolve and process information in a way that mirrors the neural behaviour of a biological brain.

BrainChip filed and successfully patented this technology in 2008 in both the U.S. and Australia. At the completion of the acquisition of BrainChip, Aziana will be the only ASX listed company in Australia to hold the patented artificial intelligence technology which is reportedly 5,000 times faster and substantially more power efficient than the fastest neural computing computers in use today.

Aziana claims that the technology is endorsed by the world’s leading neuroscientists and has numerous potential applications in smartphones, robotics, prostheses, toys, gaming, driverless vehicles, drones, and in sensor related products.

Coal of Africa LimitedCoal of Africa Limited (“CoAL”) increased its market capitalisation by 75.0% from AU$45m to AU$78m during the month ended 30 April 2015. As at 30 April 2015, CoAL was ranked 97th in the Deloitte WA index.

CoAL’s business centres on its exploration, development and mining operations of its coal interests located in South Africa. CoAL has been listed on the ASX since 1980 and subsequently listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange (AIM) in 2005 and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) one year later, in 2006.

8 | Issue 145 - Western Australian Stock Exchange Index

CoAL’s flagship project is its 100.0% owned Vele coking and thermal coal colliery which operates out of the Limpopo Province in South Africa. The project commenced production at the beginning of 2012. CoAL’s other notable assets include the Mooiplaats Colliery (74.0% ownership) located in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa and the Makhado project (100.0% ownership), situated 80km southeast from the Vele Project.

The Mooiplaats colliery has been on care and maintenance since 2013 as it was considered unprofitable for the company to continue operations. CoAL has recently signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Blackspear Capital Proprietary Limited to sell the colliery for 250m Rand, approximately AU$20.7m.

During the quarter ended March 2015, CoAL concluded negotiations for broad-based black economic-empowerment partners to acquire a 26% share of the Makhado project. South African mining legislation requires black empowered groups to hold a stake in all commodity projects in order to secure mining rights required for production. Chief Executive Officer of CoAL, David Brown expects that the mining right will be granted for the Makhado projected during the first 6 months of 2015.

Approval has also been granted for an updated Environmental Authorisation for the Vele Colliery’s anticipated plant modifications. Construction is expected to commence in the 3rd quarter of 2015 following approval of the Integrated Water Use Licence (IWUL) recently applied for.

In order to fund these activities at Makhado and Vele, last year CoAL’s shareholders approved a two stage equity placement for the issue of up to 695 million shares for £0.055 per share. The first stage was completed in November 2014 with CoAL issuing 251m shares for approximately £14m. In December it was decided that the second stage should be split with 300m shares issued in December for approximately £17m. Stage 3 was supposed to be settled by 29 April 2015, however during the month this was pushed out to 29 May 2015. An additional 144m shares will be issued at £0.055 per share raising approximately £8m resulting in a total capital raising of £38m.

Buru Energy LimitedBuru Energy Limited (Buru) increased its market capitalisation by 68.7% from AU$109m to AU$184m during the month ended 30 April 2015. As at 30 April 2015, Buru was ranked 49th in the Deloitte WA index.

Buru is an ASX listed oil & gas exploration and production company focused on exploring and developing its petroleum resources within the onshore Canning Basin, in the southwest Kimberley region of Western Australia.

Buru holds interests in an extensive portfolio of petroleum exploration permits covering approximately 83,000km2 in the Canning Superbasin, making Buru the largest holder in the area.

Buru’s exploration program has identified potentially world class gas accumulations in the Laurel Formation and a highly significant oil discovery at Ungani, owned 50/50 with Mitsubishi Corporation.

The 2011 oil discovery at Ungani, located 150 kilometres east of Broome, was the first onshore oil discovery in Western Australia in 10 years. Early production testing from two test wells established strong flows of light sweet crude in mid-2012.

The increase in Buru’s market capitalisation during the month is attributable to the announcement on the 14th of April, that Buru’s joint venture with Mitsubishi is expected to secure a production licence for the Ungani oil field, after executing a native title agreement with the Yawuru people. This was the final agreement required and follows the recent signing of native title agreements with the Nyikina Mangala and Karajarri Yanja people.

The good news continued for Buru, with the announcement one day later that the Supreme Court of WA ruled in Buru’s favour regarding a dispute over royalties payable to Fitzroy River Corporation. The decision supported Buru’s interpretation of the royalty agreement, being 2.0% of the value of petroleum at the well head.

Buru is currently upgrading its infrastructure at Ungani in anticipation of ramping production to full capacity. The upgrade is scheduled to begin in mid-July.

Compilation of the Deloitte WA Index

Compilation of the Deloitte WA Index The monthly Deloitte WA Index is compiled from publicly available information provided by the ASX and Capital IQ on the market capitalisation of each Western Australian listed company.

A company is included as a Western Australian Company where its registered office is listed in Western Australia, regardless of whether the company is dual listed. The information on Western Australian listed companies is extracted and then summarised to provide a cumulative market capitalisation figure for all Western Australian listed companies.

The base period of the Deloitte WA Index is May 2000 and for the purposes of the Index the month of May 2000 is given a notional value of one. All subsequent monthly cumulative market capitalisation totals are divided by the May 2000 total to then obtain a relative movement. Please note that if a company has been suspended or delisted during a particular period no data will be included for that month and all subsequent months until the company is re-listed or the suspension lifted. Historical information regarding the company’s market capitalisation will continue to be included in the calculation of the Index.

Earnings per share (EPS) is a basic EPS calculation, i.e. net profit divided by weighted average number of shares.
