Declaration of Independence, Relevant Relationships & Indemnities
In accordance with the Australian Restructuring Insolvency & Turnaround Association’s (“ARITA”) Code of Professional Practice, I enclose a Declaration of Independence, Relevant Relationships & Indemnities (“DIRRI”). I considered the question of my independence prior to accepting this appointment. Whilst, in this instance, my appointment has been initiated by the Company’s Director and shareholder, I have had no prior personal, professional or advisory relationship with the company, its shareholders or the directors, except in general discussion regarding the current financial position of the company. I am, therefore, totally independent and impartial. In the circumstances, I am not aware of any reason why I am not able to continue to act as Liquidator. However, creditors may, by resolution, appoint another person as Liquidator in my place should they wish to do so.
1 August 2014 NOTICE TO CREDITORS OF MEETING
Dear Sir / Madam Rochard Drilling Pty Ltd (In Liquidation) ACN 146 602 824 As Trustee for the Millard Family Trust Formerly trading as Rochard Drilling (“the Company”) Winding Up of the Company I write to advise that I was appointed as Liquidator of the Company on 22 July 2014 pursuant to section 491(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (“the Act”). Information for Creditors I enclose a copy of the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (“ASIC”) list of insolvency information sheets available for download from the ASIC website. Insolvency Notices In accordance with changes to the Corporations Regulations I advise that notices of meetings of creditors, notices for proofs of debt and intention to declare dividends which were previously published in newspapers and the Business Gazette are now advertised online at ASIC Published Notices Website (http://insolvencynotices.asic.gov.au).
Meeting of Creditors In accordance with the provisions of the Act I have convened a meeting of the Company’s creditors to be held at my office located at Ground Floor, 15 Rheola Street, West Perth WA 6005 on Tuesday, 12 August 2014 at 10.00am. A notice with respect to the meeting is enclosed. Summary of Affairs The financial position of the Company at 22 July 2014 is set out in the attached Summary of Affairs. The basic information is sourced from the Director’s Report as Affairs and may be subject to change. Any significant amendments will be brought to the attention of creditors at the upcoming meeting. Plant & Equipment I advise that I have arranged a valuation of the Company’s plant and equipment assets. My investigations have revealed that a number of assets are encumbered by way of Personal Property Security Register (“PPSR”) security interests. I am currently reviewing the asset valuation and considering the options available to me to realise the assets of the Company. Debtors & Scottish Pacific Business Finance Pty Ltd All of the assets of the Company are secured by way of a registered security interest in favour of Scottish Pacific Business Finance Pty Ltd (“Scottish Pacific”) who offered debtor factoring services to the Company. In the first instance, the liability owed to Scottish Pacific appears to be suitably covered by the outstanding debtors of the Company. Of the $83,000 (approximately and subject to enforcement of penalty changes pursuant to their contract with the Company) owed to Scottish Pacific under their security interest, approximately $68,000 has been recovered from the debtors of the Company. Once Scottish Pacific is paid in full, the balance of debtors will be flow to the Company for the benefit of its creditors. List of Creditors A list of the Company’s creditors is also enclosed for your information. Appointment of Proxy Creditors unable to attend the meeting may appoint someone to attend and vote on their behalf. A proxy form (Form 532) is attached for that purpose. A table is attached which will assist creditors in determining whether they are required to complete the form for the meeting. Companies who are creditors are reminded that a proxy form must be completed in order to be represented at the meeting. Requirements for executing corporate proxies are attached. Proxies should be executed and forwarded to me at my mailing address or faxed to reach at least one (1) business day before the meeting.
Proof of Debt A Proof of Debt (Form 535) is attached. Creditors should complete this form and forward it me at my mailing address or by fax to reach me one (1) business day before the meeting. In accordance with Regulation 5.6.23 of the Act, no person will be entitled to vote as a creditor at the meeting unless they have lodged with the Chairman of the meeting, particulars of the debt or claim which he claims to be due to him by the Company. Supporting documentation:
1. Please ensure that substantiating evidence such as invoices, statements and other documentation is attached to your Proof of Debt.
2. If you attach documentation to substantiate your claim now you may avoid difficulties in the future in the event that a divided is paid.
3. If your claim is disputed at the meeting supporting documentation attached to your Proof of Debt will assist the Chairman in determining your entitlement to vote at the meeting.
4. If you have a claim for outstanding employee entitlements, please attach a worksheet showing how the entitlements have been calculated.
5. If you are claiming retention of title over goods supplied to the company pursuant to a contract or the Personal Property Securities Act or any lien over goods in your possession which are property of the company, please provide by no later than the date of the meeting details of your claim, together with relevant documentation, including (but not limited to) copies of unpaid invoices supported by proof of delivery, a copy of your conditions of sale, evidence that terms and conditions were accepted by the company.
Committee of Inspection Persons who represent companies are reminded that, in the event a Committee of Inspection is appointed and they wish to be nominated as a member of the Committee, they must be authorised to act by the company, in accordance with section 548(3)(a)(iii) of the Act. Remuneration Creditors ought to be aware that my fees and expenses are paid out of the assets of the Company. Professional fees are charged on an hourly basis in accordance with my firm’s scale of fees, details of which are set out in my enclosed Initial Advice to Creditors - Remuneration. ARITA’s Creditor Information Sheet “Approving Remuneration in External Administrations” is available for download from ARITA’s website http://www.arita.com.au. I will be seeking approval to draw my remuneration for the period 22 July 2014 to 30 July 2014 in the amount of $8,854.50, details of which are set out in my Remuneration Report which is enclosed for your information. Creditors will no doubt appreciate that at this early stage it is difficult to be across all of the issues. However, based on my preliminary understanding of the liquidation to date, I anticipate that my future fees as Liquidator will be in the range of approximately $50,000 to $73,000, plus GST and out of pocket expenses. The variation of fees reflects the range of issues that may be required to be addressed. It is my practice to seek a resolution that my future fees are fixed in an amount, above which further approval is required by creditors. I will be seeking creditor approval to cap my future remuneration to an upper limit of $72,934.00, above which further approval be required, plus GST and out of pocket expenses. Details are set out in my enclosed Remuneration Report.

Declaration of Independence, Relevant Relationships and Indemnities (“DIRRI”)
Rochard Drilling Pty Ltd (In Liquidation) ACN: 146 602 824
As Trustee for The Millard Family Trust Formerly trading as Rochard Drilling
(“the Company”)
This document requires the Practitioner appointed to an insolvent entity to make declarations as to: A. their independence generally; B. relationships, including
i. the circumstances of the appointment; ii. any relationships with the company and others within the previous 24 months; iii. any prior professional services for the company within the previous 24 months; iv. that there are no other relationships to declare; and
C. any indemnities given, or up front payments made, to the Practitioner. This declaration is made in respect of myself and my firm, HLB Mann Judd (Insolvency WA). A. Independence I, Kimberley Stuart Wallman, Chartered Accountant, have undertaken a proper assessment of the risks to my independence prior to accepting the appointment as liquidator of the company in accordance with the law and applicable professional standards. This assessment identified no real or potential risks to my independence. I am not aware of any reasons that would prevent me from accepting this appointment. B. Declaration of Relationships i. Circumstances of appointment This appointment was referred to Mr Gary Anderson of my office by Mr Geoff Currie of Currie Wickens Chartered Accountants based in Nedlands, Western Australia. The reasons I believe that this relationship does not result in me having a conflict of interest or duty are:
Whilst Mr Currie’s practice has intermittently referred insolvency type matters to Mr Anderson of my firm over the past 17 years, referrals from solicitors, business advisors and accountants are commonplace and do not impact on my independence or Mr Anderson’s independence in carrying out my duties as liquidator; and
There are no understandings or requirements that work in the Liquidation will be given to the referrer and the referral does not contain or is conditional upon giving or receiving of any commissions, inducements or benefits.
Mr Anderson first had a general telephone discussion with Mr Currie regarding the Company on 20 May 2014. Mr Anderson first met with the Director of the Company on the same day to discuss the insolvency options available to the Company. Mr Anderson met again with the Director on 9 July 2014 to again discuss the financial position of the Company and the potential need to place the Company into Voluntary Administration or Liquidation. At that time, the Director was seeking further funding for the Company and was endeavouring to win a contract for the Company; however neither of these efforts came to fruition. Mr Anderson met again with the Director on 21 July 2014 and it was at that time that the Director conceded that the Company should be placed into Liquidation. At a meeting of the Company’s Members held on 22 July 2014, it was resolved that the Company should be placed into Liquidation. Neither I or Mr Anderson received any remuneration for this advice.
In my opinion, these meetings do not affect my independence for the following reasons:
The Courts and the Australian Restructuring Insolvency & Turnaround Association’s Code of Professional Practice specifically recognise the need for practitioners to provide advice on the insolvency process and the options available and do not consider that such advice results in a conflict or is an impediment to accepting the appointment;
The nature of the advice provided to the Company is such that it would not be subject to review and challenge during the course of the liquidation; and
The pre-appointment advice will not influence my ability to be able to fully comply with the
statutory and fiduciary obligations associated with the Liquidation of the Company in an objective and impartial manner.
I have provided no other information or advice to the Company or its Director prior to my appointment beyond that outlined in this DIRRI. ii. Relevant Relationships (excluding Professional Services to the Insolvent) Neither I, nor my firm, have, or have had within the preceding 24 months, any relationships with the company, an associate of the company, a former insolvency practitioner appointed to the company or any person or entity that has a security over the whole or substantially whole of the company’s property. iii. Prior Professional services to the Insolvent Neither I, nor my firm, have provided any professional services to the company in the previous 24 months. iv. No other relevant relationships to disclose There are no other known relevant relationships, including personal, business and professional relationships, from the previous 24 months with the company, an associate of the company, a former insolvency practitioner appointed to the company or any person or entity that has security over the whole or substantially whole of the company’s property that should be disclosed. C. Indemnities and up-front payments I have not been indemnified in relation to this Liquidation, other than any indemnities that I may be entitled to under statute. Dated 1 August 2014
Kimberley Stuart Wallman – Liquidator of Rochard Drilling Pty Ltd (In Liquidation) ACN 146 602 824 Note:
1. If circumstances change, or new information is identified, I am are required under the Corporations Act and the IPA Code of Professional Practice to update this Declaration and provide a copy to creditors with my/our next communication as well as table a copy of any replacement declaration at the next meeting of the insolvent’s creditors. 2. Any relationships, indemnities or up-front payments disclosed in the DIRRI must not be such that the Practitioner is no longer independent. The purpose of components B and C of the DIRRI is to disclose relationships that, while they do not result in the Practitioner having a conflict of interest or duty, ensure that creditors are aware of those relationships and understand why the Practitioner nevertheless remains independent.
STATEMENT REGARDING REMUNERATION
Rochard Drilling Pty Ltd (In Liquidation) ACN 146 602 824 As Trustee for the Millard Family Trust Formerly trading as Rochard Drilling
(“the Company”)
A. REMUNERATION METHODS There are four methods that can be used to calculate remuneration charged by an insolvency practitioner. These are: Time based/hourly rates This is the most common method used. The total fees charged is based on the hourly rate charged by each person who carries out the work, multiplied by the number of hours spent by each person on each work task performed. Fixed fee The total fee charged is normally quoted at the start of the appointment and is the total cost for the administration. Sometimes an insolvency practitioner will finalise an administration for a fixed fee. Percentage The total fee charged is based on a particular variable such as the total gross proceed from asset realisations. Contingency The insolvency practitioner’s fee is contingent on achieving a particular outcome/s. B. METHOD CHOSEN Time based remuneration is appropriate for this administration because:
It ensures creditors are only charged for work performed in the conduct of the administration; I am required to perform tasks unrelated to asset realisations; therefore fees solely based on
asset realisations would be impractical; I am unable to provide a reliable estimate of the total remuneration required to complete all
tasks in the administration.
C. FEE ESTIMATE As noted above, at this stage it is estimated fees will total $15,000 (excluding GST and excluding expenses) to the first meeting of creditors. The total costs of the Liquidation will vary depending on the work required to be performed by the Liquidator and staff in respect of issues arising from the Liquidator. Dated 1 August 2014

asset realisations would be impractical; I am unable to provide a reliable estimate of the total remuneration required to complete all
tasks in the liquidation.
