Cash Flow Cash at bank reduced by $47.6 million during the period and was $20.7 million at the end of the period. This reflects the continued expenditure on capital growth made by the Company, with increased underground development at Mount Monger and the construction of the Murchison project. Net cash used in investment activities included: • $58.0 million on property plant and equipment, mainly on the construction of the Murchison project. • $9.3 million on Murchison pre-production expenditure • $9.4 million on exploration expenditure • $9.2 million on underground capital development at Mount Monger; and • $10.9 million on underground normal development ahead of stoping at Mount Monger. Balance Sheet Silver Lake has maintained a strong balance sheet over the period. Working capital was $41 million (2011: $86 million). The decrease is mainly attributable to accruals for stamp duty and fees in respect of the Integra transaction. Net assets increased by 253% to $685.1 million, due mainly to the acquisition of Phillips River, acquisition of Integra and construction of the Murchison project. The Integra gold forward contracts amounting to $2.7 million all mature and will be closed out in the March 2013 quarter.
