ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

Dear Shareholder

Atlas is pleased to announce that 2013/14 audited net earnings are higher than forecast.

This report is the first 30 June Annual Financial Report for Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd (Atlas) bringing the Group in line with the Australian financial year. In the past twelve months Atlas realised many key milestones outlined in its strategic plan providing for the on-going and improving profitability of the Company’s core business. Research and Development (R & D) is in its tenth year, focussing on optimising core business activities, as well as bio-mass applications that underpin the Companies diversification strategy. This R & D will not only create new high value exports and revenue streams from the existing pearl production inputs by utilisation of the waste products but ensures that Atlas is a recognised world leader in pioneering cradle to cradle practises in the luxury supply chain.

**$3.8 Million Improvement in EBITDA in 2013/14 Compared to 2012/13 ***

Atlas increased its gross revenue by 56%, to $16,283,183. This is a record result in the 20 year history of the Company. More importantly, gross profits increased from 60% to 62%, combined with prudent overhead cost management has improved EBITDA from a loss of $363,078 to a profit of $3,470,313 (i.e. $3.8m improvement). The EBITDA is 21% of gross revenue and has resulted in a net profit before tax improvement of $5,696,548 and an NPAT improvement of $2,758,616, all net earnings are well in excess of the Board of Director’s 2013/14 budgets and forecasts.

*** 2012/13 is the normalised 12 Month period ending 30 June 2013.**

Fiscal Results in 2013/14

  1. Record revenue of $16.28m for the 12 months ended 30 June 2014.

  2. Closed the period with $2.66m in liquidity (cash and headroom in bank facility access).

  3. EBITDA of $3.47m. Strong sales results in the June auction have had a positive impact on Normalised EBITDA 2013/14.

  4. Sales of essential oils of $2.02m in the 2013/14 period, improving on the revenue for the 6 months to 30 June 13 of $503,076.

  5. Overall Gross Profit percentage increased to 62% for the 12 months to 30 June 2014 from 60% in 30 June 2013 results as loose pearl prices rose due to the reduced supply of white south sea pearls driven by lower global production.

Refer to Attachment 1 – Summary of key Fiscal Achievements; Table 3.

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

Pearl Production and Loose Pearl Sales

Atlas has expanded its scale of production over the past five years and in 2014/15 estimates producing over 350 Kg’s of high quality “sellable” pearls, which is a 100% increase in this core element of the Company’s exports. The team are working on the next 5 Year production blue print (to June 2020). Atlas will build key production strengths to maximise quality through on-going pearl genetic research. This R & D, when combined with a strong 5 Year historical CAPEX investment provides Atlas with a wide range of water and land assets spread over a diverse geographical range. This unique combination minimises the risks normally associated with aquaculture such as disease and climate. Combined with production efficiency and low cost centres, our key investment features are responsible for the Company’s current global competitive advantage.

In 2014/15 Atlas will see its second major hub growing to optimal scale with this achievement made all the more remarkable due to the global financial crisis (GFC) causing fiscal hardship to the sector, and a contraction in the global pearling industry.

Atlas completed the year strongly with the best auction results achieved since the GFC commenced. This supports our belief that our sales strategy of holding fewer, bigger auctions is paying off and that there is a growing and sustainable demand for the 9-13 mm specialty pearl size, a category for which we have now built our global reputation as a market leader. We are now able to consistently produce harvests of this highly prized and sought after specification of white south sea pearls.

Atlas will continue to invest heavily in R & D providing the Company with a significant competitive advantage. An Atlas supported pearl research program has been awarded $540,000 by the Australian Research Council. The collaborative research approach between Atlas and James Cook University (JCU) has resulted in many key achievements in pearl aquaculture and genetic research over the last nine years. Researchers have unravelled the most detailed genetic map of any commercial shellfish species and have created a unique pedigree system allowing for commercial improvements in domestication, retention rates, pearl quality (weight, colour and lustre) and this is providing a strong foundation for sustainable pearl farming.

Pearl By-product Extracts

One of the core products derived from pearl farming is a by-product that represents > 95% of the harvested oyster. The pearling industry needs to diversify and maximise the use of by-products to build new income streams. There is substantial value adding from pearl by-products (pearl shell, soft tissue and substandard pearls) that are currently discarded or earning less than $3.00 kg.

Atlas has initiated research in the USA, Europe, Asia and Australia on a wide range of applications of pearl extracts in the following sectors;

  • 1) Perfume

  • 2) Cosmetics

  • 3) Jewellery and

  • 4) Pearl Farming (seeding of oysters).

This research aims to create demand for the Atlas pearl extracts. This in turn is providing a platform for Atlas to build its corporate profile with a range of luxury brands that see the emerging corporate social responsibility as a key marketing trend of the 21[st] Century.

Pearl By-product Commercialisation

Atlas is viewing pearls with fresh eyes, going beyond the mere beauty of the gem, by extracting the very elements that trigger the formation of the pearl itself. Atlas has extracted a number of active ingredients from the pearl oyster (shell and soft tissues).

Due to the strategic value of such points of difference in the luxury supply chain it has enabled Atlas to open direct dialogue with multi-national brands that offer significant upside for the sale of extracts as well as stimulating new markets for the export of loose pearls and pearl jewellery.

2

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

Projects currently being undertaken by Atlas include;

1) Perfume of the Pearl Applications

Atlas has engaged a leading Paris based luxury creative agency to finalise a strategic plan to maximize the commercial roll out of pearl cosmetics (Pearl Rituals) and a pearl perfume extract innovation (2008) that Atlas purchased the rights to in 2011. Nelson Rocher will direct the brief which aims to launch and commercialise specific pearl market concepts and technologies related to its extracts and pearl jewellery through incubating proof of concept marketing trials in Atlas retail shops. If the roll out trial is successful, Atlas will work with the Paris based agent’s luxury brand customer base and its own extensive Paris and New York networks to identify various licensing opportunities for these innovations and products.

Distribution will focus on the global retail jewellery sector, generating further synergies by upselling Atlas pearls in finished supporting jewellery. The pearl perfume extract is unique to Atlas. The extraction of the fragrance of the pearl provides Atlas with a range of other commercial opportunities to explore.

2) Cosmetic Application

Pearl nacre (shell) has been powdered and, using propriety technology, pearl proteins and pearl amino acids were extracted. A range of extracts from the shell and soft tissue have simultaneously been tested and experimented in preliminary in-vitro trials in the USA on human DNA to scope key areas of ongoing interest for our key global customer targets (multi-national beauty brands that also sell jewellery). The objective is to validate traditional Chinese medicinal claims on human cell’s cultured in the US to determine a range of pearl extract rejuvenation properties on human soft tissues.

These and other in-vitro “proof of concept” trials are vital in securing long term export agreements with larger companies that wish to partner with Atlas as a unique supplier of active ingredients that are complemented with a strategic marketing proposition.

Phase 1 of the Pearl Oyster extract cellular studies was completed. In short, results are encouraging. All 9 of the extracts showed activity (concentration dependent) on skin cells, with the protein variants showing the most pronounced results. Overall results give promising indications of extract activity at cellular level.

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

A post-grad at James Cook University has been assigned to analyse the DNA Micro Array data (180,000 data points) over the next 2-3 months. In conjunction with the skin cell study results above, the Microarray results will assist to map out the directions of the type of testing to run for Phase 2. Phase 2 will narrow down the ingredients and run tests on enhanced skin tissue models, more indicative to effects directly on skin.

3) Pearl Jewellery Applications

Research has been conducted in collaboration with the Gemological Institute of America to measure the potential benefits of various active ingredients on pearl luster (shine) and also tests on the internal structure of the pearl to measure potential impact on Orient (the ability to refract light). Research has been conducted that follows a protocol very similar to a cosmetic clinical test to reveal the impact on the internal structure of each pearl exposed to accelerated aging in the different environments selected using propriety active ingredients.

Establishing successful correlations between human and pearl skin is unique to Atlas. We are pioneering a new approach with the express aim of lifting the global demand for pearls and pearl jewellery, which currently represents less than 5% of retailers inventory value added sales.

4) Pearl Farming Applications

Live experiments using a wide range of pearl extracts on a statistically relevant group of pearl oysters were conducted to track potential benefits on pearl formation and determine if the active ingredients improve seeding retention rates and stimulate nacre deposition. Due the relative success of the pilot trial, Atlas is now scaling up a large commercial trial using the extract that provided the highest statistical result in the first phase of experimentation.

Conclusion on Pearl Extract Research and Market Commercialisation

The research and commercialisation of pearl extracts is aimed at establishing a deeper luxury connection between the pearl and humans, beyond the visible spectrum of jewellery, and is fully aligned with the Atlas cradle to cradle sustainability commitment of making the most out of each and every part of the material that the company uses to create value.

Perfume Division: Essential Oils of Tasmania (EOT)

In 2012, EOT was a struggling Australian exporter of food flavours. Atlas purchased the company (January 2013) and widened its scope to use the Company’s Intellectual Property (IP) to become a processer and exporter of perfume and cosmetic ingredients. The core rationale behind the acquisition was to protect 5 years of pearl powder research and have EOT provide the skill base to expand the R & D and construct and commission a pearl powdering facility.

In May 2014 EOT was awarded a $1.1 million grant to support the commercialisation of its pearl extraction technology and secure long term supply agreements for these products. It will be Australia’s first Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) plant using CO2 for the extraction of flavour and fragrance ingredients and bioactive compounds.

Atlas is pleased to announce that in August 2014 EOT completed the construction and commissioning of a pearl powdering and extraction plant in Hobart (constructed to Food and Drug Authority, USA standards) and successfully shipped the first shipment of extracts to New York.

World Senses was established in 2012 (50/50% joint venture with Nomad Two Worlds in New York) with the express purpose of collaborating with large international brands to help secure contracts with the vision of seeing pearl powder extract supply agreements established in the USA (this JV in the USA is ongoing).

EOT Sales for the 2013/14 year were $2.02 million, which is a substantial improvement on the previous fiscal year (6 Month sales to 30/6/13 were $503,076). While there is on-going revenue growth potential in Tasmania, Atlas continues to work on ways of combining the Australian extraction IP with the Atlas team’s intimate and long standing knowledge of operating businesses successfully in Indonesia.

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

There are various short term growth opportunities in Indonesia that can harness the synergies between our groups’ assets, the Tasmanian and Indonesian work-forces. Indonesia is the world’s second largest flavour and fragrance perfume export market. Atlas has developed a deep knowledge and understanding of business in Indonesia, this accompanied with the Group’s existing geographical presence, sourcing and logistics capabilities puts the company in a unique position to take advantage of this growing market. (Refer to Attachment 2, Tables 4 and 5)

Value Added Sales Division Increased its Gross Revenue by 63% in 2013/14

Value Adding is a key priority for Atlas to de-risk the business from any future commodity price swings for pearls. Value added sales increased by 63% in 2013/14 to $4.38 million ($2.75m previous year). As well as de-risking the core pearling venture cyclical exposure, the value added sales provide significantly higher margins further up the luxury supply chain. This allowed Atlas to increase its GP (now at 62%) and incubate marketing “concepts” in the Company’s own chain of retail stores in Indonesia and Australia. This data will be presented as required in global licensing negotiations, demonstrating the proposition of selling luxury products in uncontested niche luxury-market segments; marketing perfumes to jewellery retailers and selling jewellery to perfume retailers.

The Atlas Indonesian farm retail outlets continue to lead the way for Indonesian sales. We are pleased to announce the opening of a new retail outlet at Punggu (Flores) in August 2014. This new outlet will capture the increasing tourism trade to Komodo Island and Flores.

Atlas is launching new jewellery collaborations over the coming twelve months and has recently signed a contract with leading pearl jewellery designer Simon Henderson who will work with the Company’s French design and product development team spearheaded by the Atlas Design Director, Tina Arena.

The acquisition of Essential Oils of Tasmania in January 2013 has further assisted in growing value added sales revenue. As the growing revenues demonstrate we have successfully built alternate higher value sales and aim to continue to create increased demand for value added pearls and perfumes.

Corporate Social Responsibility

We remain committed to being a global force in luxury Corporate Social Responsibility and intend to pioneer a cradle to cradle approach to the pearl and perfume supply chains by respecting the regional communities and environment we work in. Our approach to pearl by-products is central to this approach and is also opening new revenue streams and giving Atlas invaluable exposure to large multi-national purchasers of luxury ingredients.

Re-Investment in Fast Growth Strategy

Atlas has not paid a dividend since the on-set of the GFC. The Board wants to prioritise access to ongoing development funds while we continue to expand our revenue and profits at a fast rate. I am spearheading a revised 5 year blue print commencing 2014/15 with supporting fiscal assumptions and budgets for Board and senior executive ratification at our next Board meeting in November.

The Board is greatly appreciative of the support provided by its shareholders and understands the desire for dividends, however we need to balance this sensible request against the past performance of this cyclical stock and ensure that when we declare the commencement of dividends that we are able to maintain a sustainable dividend that shareholders can rely upon.

Acknowledgements

Atlas was announced as a finalist in the WA Industry and Export Awards that will be held on the 24[th] October 2014, where winners will be selected for the prestigious national finals held in Sydney in November 2014. I would like to highlight the achievements of the Atlas team of employee’s and consultants and sincerely thank them for their hard work and support over the past 5 years.

Our Indonesian and Tasmanian regional workforces are the reason that we have been able to survive in a marketplace that has proven too tough for many in the pearling industry. The teams sacrifices, work ethic and passion give our board and senior management the self-belief required through the difficult times.

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

Sustained Growth While the Pearling Industry Contracted

Pearling is traditionally a cyclical industry and the price of the commodity due to the 2009 GFC impact created a contraction in global pearl production.

Over the past 5 years, against a background of an eroding industry, Atlas, with the phenomenal support of our shareholders continued to grow the business and diversify. This year has been truly rewarding and this is reflected in recent share price gains. With a diversified base of operations and product streams we are in a commanding position to increase our footprint in the luxury sector.

In a climate of fiscal restraint, this could have only been achieved with the continued support of our shareholders.

Conclusion

It is pleasing to see the share price improving, closing at 8.5 cents as at 30[th] June 2014 and 13.0 cents as at 26[th] August 2014.

I took on the role of Executive Chairman of Atlas in January 2010. The last five years have been a troubled and an unprecedented period in relation to world economic affairs. As such I want to take this occasion to reflect and thank my co-directors, staff, customers and suppliers for all of your contributions to the delivery of a five year plan that has resulted in Atlas emerging from the global financial recession a stronger and more sustainable luxury ingredient supplier.

The remuneration committee is a committee on the board. It is primarily responsible for making recommendations to the board on:

  • Non-executive director fees

  • Remuneration levels of executive directors and other key management personnel

  • The over-archiving executive remuneration framework and operation of the incentive plan, and

  • Key performance indicators and performance hurdles for the executive team.

13

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES DIRECTORS’ REPORT

4. REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

Their objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interest of the company.

4.1.2 Non-Executive Director Remuneration Policy

Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the directors. Non-executive directors’ fees are reviewed annually by the Board. Consideration is given to the remuneration of comparable companies when setting fee levels.

The Non Executive Directors’ aggregate annual remuneration may not exceed $350,000 which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. This limit was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 30th May 2007. In the period ending 30 June 2014, the total non-executive directors’ fees including retirement benefit contributions were $212,574.

The following fees have applied:

  • Base fees for Non-Executive Directors - $50,000 per annum as of 1 July 2014.

  • Additional fees of $8,000 per annum for the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

  • Chairman’s package is $351,000 per annum including superannuation.

  • The Technical Director receives an additional $750 per day for pearl technical and Indonesian entity support.

4.1.3 Executive remuneration policy and framework

In determining executive remuneration, the board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are:

  • Competitive and reasonable, enabling the company to attract and retain key talent

  • Aligned to the company’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder value

  • � Transparent, and

  • Acceptable to shareholders

The executive remuneration framework has three components;

  • Base pay and benefits, including superannuation

  • Short-term performance incentives, and

  • Long-term incentives through participation in the Atlas South Sea Pearl Limited Employee Share Plan.

Employment contracts are in place between the Company (or its subsidiaries) and all key management personnel. Under these contracts, key management personnel are paid a base salary (which may be provided in the form of cash or non-financial benefits) in accordance with their skills and experience as well as entitlements including superannuation and accrued annual leave and long service leave in the event of termination.

Executives’ salaries are reviewed annually and are adjusted to take into consideration the individuals’ responsibilities and skills compared to others within the Company and the industry. There are no guaranteed base pay increases in any executives contracts.

There were no short or medium term cash incentives provided to any executives of the company during the last financial period except where noted in section 4.2 of this report. Short or medium cash incentives are incorporated into some executives salary packages at the time of this report. The framework provides a mix of fixed and variable pay with short and medium term incentives. As executives gain seniority with the group, the balance of this mix shifts to a higher proportion of ‘at risk’ rewards.

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES DIRECTORS’ REPORT

4. REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

4.1.3 Executive remuneration policy and framework (cont.)

An Employee Share Plan (ESP) provides some senior executives with incentive over and above their base salary (refer 4.5 below). The allocation of shares under the Employee Share Plan (ESP) is not subject to performance conditions of the Company. The reasons for establishing the ESP were:

  • To align the interests of senior management with shareholders. The ESP provides employees with incentive to strive for long term profitability which is in line with shareholder objectives; and

  • To provide an incentive for employees to extend their employment terms with the company. Pearl farming is a long term business and the experience of long serving senior employees is an important factor in the long term success of the Company.

Use of remuneration consultants

During the financial year ended 30 June 2014 the Company did not engage any remuneration consultants. The Company engaged remuneration consultants Gerard Daniels during the period ended 30 June 2013 to provide an independent market review of the Chief Executive Officer/Executive Chairman and Independent Non-Executive Director Fees. Total fees charged for this service was $15,000 + GST.

  • Gerard Daniels was engaged by, and reported directly to, the chair of the remuneration committee. The agreement for the provision of remuneration consulting services was executed by the chair of the remuneration committee under delegated authority on behalf of the board.

  • The report containing the remuneration recommendations was provided by Gerard Daniels directly to the chair of the remuneration committee; and

  • Gerard Daniels was permitted to speak to management throughout the engagement to understand company processes, practices and other business issues and obtain management perspectives. However, Gerard Daniels was not permitted to provide any member of management with a copy of their draft or final report that contained the remuneration recommendations.

As a consequence, the board is satisfied that the recommendations were made free from undue influence from any members of the key management personnel.

Voting and comments made that the Company’s 2013 Annual General Meeting.

Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd received more than 90% of “yes” votes on its remuneration report for the 2013 financial year. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration.

Relationship between Key Management Personnel Remuneration and Performance.

Each Key Management Personnel is remunerated on an individual basis. Some Key Management Personnel are entitled to bonuses based on a percentage of EBITDA.

Commission earned on the sale of loose pearls on behalf of entities controlled by key management personnel was $113,614 for the year end 30 June 2014 (30 June 2013 – nil). Atlas paid the net proceeds of pearls sales to Arrow less the commission, in the form of 50% cash and 50% in shares until 10 million shares were acquired (capped at $650,000). The shares were priced at $0.065 per share.

5.5. Share based payments compensation

These shares have been issued to employees under the following terms:

  • 5.5.1. In 2007 shares were issued at a price of 40 cents each, 900,000 were issued on 17th April and 200,000 were issued on 10th May 2007 when the market price was 41 cents and 48 cents per share respectively. In 2006, 2,150,000 shares were issued at a price of 29 cents each on 30th May when the market price was 31 cents per share.

  • 5.5.2.

  1. The minimum benefit is based on the fact that the vesting criteria for the shares on issue have not yet been met.

  2. The maximum value is based on the value that is calculated at the time that the shares were issued.

  3. The above named individuals are only entitled to these shares when the recourse loan is repaid. As at 30 June 2014, none of these loans have been repaid. Hence, these shares remain as treasury shares in the employee share trust.

  4. 5.5.5. In 2012 key management personnel were invited to participate in the Atlas South Sea Pearl Limited Non-Executive Director Fee Sacrifice Share Plan and Employee Salary Sacrifice Share Plan that was approved by shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 30 May 2012.

4.5.6. The Atlas Employee Salary Sacrifice Share Plan (Cont.)

To participate in the Salary Sacrifice Plan, Eligible Employees are required to salary sacrifice a minimum of 10% of their annual base salary into Shares. There is no maximum percentage or value cap to the amount that each Eligible Employee can sacrifice.

The issue price for Shares under the Salary Sacrifice Plan will be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors (in their discretion). For the participants who entered into conditional salary sacrifice arrangements before the AGM on the 30th of May 2012, the issue price per Share is 5 cents.

The Employee Share Plan is open to Eligible Participants being any Eligible Employee; or conditional upon the company obtaining any necessary ASIC relief to extend the operation of ASIC Class Order 03/184 (or similar class order) to them: any Eligible Contractor; or Eligible Casual Employee, who is declared by the Board to be an Eligible Participant for the purposes of the Plan.

There are no vesting conditions attached to the plan. Once an Employee has salary sacrificed salary equivalent to the number of shares taken up under the plan the shares are issued to the Employee.

An Eligible Employee means: a full time or part time employee (including an executive director) of a Group Company. An Eligible Contractor means: an individual that has: performed work for a Group Company, for more than 12 months; and received 80% of more of their income in the preceding year from a Group Company; or a company where each of the following are satisfied in relation to the company:

Throughout the previous 12 months the company has had a contract in place with a Group Company, for the provision of the services of an individual (contracting individual) to a Group Company;

  • The contracting individual has performed work for a Group Company, for more than 12 months;

  • The contracting individual has been the only member for the company for more than 12 months; and

  • More than 80% of the aggregate income of the company and the contracting individual from all sources (other than from each other) in the preceding 12 months was received from a Group Company.

The Board may determine the terms and conditions of the Salary Sacrifice arrangement for which Shares are offered in lieu of that Remuneration.

The number of Shares to be issued, transferred or allocated to the Trustee to be held on behalf of a Participant will be the dollar amount of the Salary Sacrifice divided by the issue price per Share outlined in the Invitation. In the case of fractional entitlements, the number of Shares to be issue, transferred or allocated to the Trustee to be held on behalf of a Participant will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share, unless otherwise determined by the Board from time to time.

Shares to be acquired by Eligible Participants under the Salary Sacrifice plan are held in the trust until such time that the Shares are fully paid for. Shares held by the trust and not yet issued to employees at the end of the reporting period are shown as treasury shares in the financial statements. As at 30 June 2014 2,866,640 (30 June 2013 - 5,594,000) of the shares issued were issued out of the Atlas South Sea Pearl Limited Employee Share Trust to Eligible Participants. The shares rank equally with other fully paid ordinary shares. Where shares are issued to employees of subsidiaries of the Group, the transactions are treated in accordance with the accounting policy at note 1.16.

1.2. Review of Operations and significant changes in the state of affairs

1.2.1. 12 Months in Perspective.

This report is the first twelve month period with the new 30 June financial year end. The prior year comparative period reported is for the once off six month financial report required as part of changing over to Australian reporting year. The results reflect a full twelve months of trading for the period 1st July 2013 to 30 June 2014.

Record sales revenue of $16,283,183 was achieved for the twelve months ended 30 June 2014. The year finished strongly with the Company’s most successful pearl auction to date held in Kobe Japan in June 2014.

Atlas is now considered the market leader in 9-13mm specialty pearl size of South Sea Pearls. Growing and sustainable demand for loose pearls is evidence of a significant recovery in the market from the low point reached during the Global Financial Crisis in 2009.

This combined with a change in selling strategy has seen a significant recovery in the Group’s revenues for the year to date. Atlas is now selling pearls to 50 of the world’s largest wholesalers, previously 70-80% of the Atlas harvest was sold to just four different customers.

Essential oils sales contributed $2,023,581 towards the Group’s total revenues (30 June 2013 - $503,076). Essential Oils of Tasmania was acquired January 2013 as part of the Group’s value-added strategy.

There has been an increase in the net assets of the group of $5.1M in the twelve months to 30 June 2014 (six months to 30 June 2013 - $1.6M). Movements in the net worth of the economic entity are summarised below:

  • Cash reserves decreased to $1.7M (30 June 2013 - $1.8M) at 30 June 2014. During the twelve months ended 30 June 2014 core debt was decreased by $119K.

  • Trade receivables increased to $3M (30 June 2013 - $1.1M) principally due to the 30 June 2014 loose pearl auction held on the 29[th] of June 2014.

  • Oyster assets value increased by $2.3M during the twelve months ended 30 June 2014. The main drivers behind the increase in value include; an improvement in the market price of pearls from ¥8,250/momme at 30 June 2013 to ¥11,000/momme and a higher number of Oysters harvestable within the next 12 months from 205K at 30 June 2013 to 249K at 30 June 2014. This increase has been partly offset by a weaker Yen: ¥95.52 to AUD (30 June 2014) compared to ¥91.64 to AUD (30 June 2013), and the total change in fair value less husbandry costs of oysters during the twelve months ended 30 June 2014 was an increase of $1.9M.

  • Pearls on hand decreased from 164,399 at 30 June 2013 to 52,436 at 30 June 2014; the net realisable value decreased from $2.5M at 30 June 2013 to $1.07M at 30 June 2014 as the auction originally schedule for June 2013 was held in early July 2013 resulting in a build-up of stock at 30 June 2013 and another large auction was held on the 29 June 2014. A write-off of $1.2M was recognised in relation to adjusting the fair value of loose pearls and jewellery costs for the period as inventory is required to be valued at either fair value (for biological harvested assets) or the lower of cost and net realisable value. Pearl inventory on hand at 30 June 2014 was lower grade after the large June auction.

  • Jewellery inventory was $2.9M as at 30 June 2014, down from $3.0M as at 30 June 2013 reflecting the Company’s improving inventory management controls.

  • Borrowings were $5.1M at 30 June 2014 consistent with the 30 June 2013.

1.2.3. Financial Position (Cont.)

  • Essential oil finished product made up $1.35M of the inventory balance at 30 June 2014 ($1.1M at 30 June 2013). During the twelve months ended 30 June 2014 the group recorded write-ups of Lavender and Boronia crops of $0.3M, for six months ended 30 June 2013 the group recorded write-downs of Lavender and Boronia crops totalling $0.4M.

1.2.4. Operating Results

Atlas recorded a net profit after tax for the period ended 30 June 2014 of $1.8M, an increase of $4M (30 June 2013– net loss after tax of $2.2M).

The operating revenue for the twelve months ended 30 June 2014 was $16.3M, compared to the six months ended 30 June 2013 was $3.5M. Pearl sales revenue was $11.9M (30 June 2013 - $1.9M), with retail and wholesale sales revenue of $1.45M (30 June 2013 - $0.6M) and essential oil sales of $2.02M (30 June 2013 -$0.5M). The number of jewellery retail outlets in Bali remained consistent with 2013 at a total of seven.

Gross Profit percentage overall increased to 62% for the twelve months of 2014 from 60% for the first six months of 2013 due to the reduced supply of white south sea pearls as a result of lower global production.

1.2.5. Pearl Oyster Production Results

Results across the breeding and farming system for the financial period July 1 2013 to June 30, 2014 were on target with operational projections. Both the Bali and Lembata hatcheries have had successful seasons and a record number of virgin oysters were seeded during the 13/14 financial year. These oysters produce the best quality pearls within the Atlas production system and currently represent almost 90% of all pearl carrying stocks farmed internally. A record seeding result achieved in Bali in the second half of FY13/14 bodes well for future harvests.

Juvenile grow-out was particularly good in Bali with Lembata results improving again on the prior season, with the later close to mirroring Bali’s production. There are sufficient juvenile oysters in the farming system to reach seeding targets for FY14/15.

The effects of the selective breeding programme in terms of growth took a significant leap forward during the last six months with pearl oysters achieving seeding size two to three months earlier than prior years. At the same time, these young oysters are taking the same size range of nuclei and have achieved a record result in terms of pearl formation or retention.

Over the past year pearl quality has also improved, which has been reflected in both price and demand for goods. We have now had several commercial sized pearl harvests at the newer sites of Punggu (near Komodo Island) and Alor. Each site has specific differences in terms of certain pearl traits but importantly the value of pearls from each farm is consistent. The subtle variations observed particularly in relation to overtones in colour may prove to be an added value drive in pearl marketing. As it stands, Atlas pearls are well recognised with the international wholesale trade.

With increasing numbers of high quality oysters coming through the system, Atlas has increased its selection criteria for seeding. As a consequence the Company has expanded its JV seeding programme using surplus 2nd grade stock with a third party farmer. This allows extra oysters to be seeded for Atlas at minimal cost.

A major change is underway in the selective breeding programme with the completion of the R & D facility in Bali. All future genetic improvement programmes will be independent to the commercial operation. The Company now has a pearl oyster “Stud” farm and hatchery for developing “best of breed” which will in turn become the pedigree broodstock for the commercial division. In doing so, the efficiency of the main commercial operations will improve significantly.

1.2.6. 3000 Hands: Sharing and Sustaining

Over 3000 hands are involved in the journey of an Atlas creation from the moment nature’s treasure is born until the finished product is delivered into the hands wearer.

3000Hands encompasses the values acknowledged by all shareholders and stakeholders as they enter the world of Atlas.

The 3000Hands: Sharing and Sustaining video web series will continue over the next 12 months, featuring portraits supporting the unique position of Atlas in Indonesia and the relationship of creating beautiful pearls and perfumes with community, people and environment.

These stories reveal the Atlas philosophy in terms of community engagement and sustainable practice and provide a strong vehicle for marketing our luxury products to the world. If you haven't done so, please take a moment to visit www.3000hands.com. New episodes will continue to become available.

1.2.7. Personnel

Atlas places a strong emphasis on training and retention of its workforce to ensure a more efficient and cost effective operation. Staff numbers increased from 2013 to 2014 as the Company continues to develop operations.

Staff numbers at the end of the year were as follows:

taff numbers at the end ofthe year were as follows:
2014 2013 2012
Expatriates– Indonesia 21 15 20
Indonesian nationals–permanent 536 613 629
Indonesian nationals–part time 341 149 178
Australia 43 30 13
Total Personnel 941 807 840

1.2.8. Marketing

Over the past few months, several companies have approached Atlas seeking opportunities to collaborate. A group of 20 European retailers led by a global jewellery leader (Gellner) visited Atlas farms, an Australian South Sea pearl farmer confirmed its interest to join Atlas auction format, researchers and the prestigious Gemmological Institute of America (GIA) commenced collaboration on various R&D programs. All this positive feedback further reinforce the strong perception of Atlas as a sophisticated operator, the quality of the pearls produced as well as the reliability and consistency of the Company’s distribution and marketing.

To further enhance the customer experience both at wholesale and retail level, new grading and matching capabilities have been added to Perth Headquarters making it an efficient, convenient and flexible trading and service platform for the Australian market.

Significant efforts are being invested to improve the clarity of Atlas range of finished product and retail experience. New Jewellery collections are being designed/ produced, showrooms are under renovation and the trend of Industrial tourism in Bali is being embraced with the opening of a new retail site near the Komodo Island National Park. At the same time we have implemented specially crafted customer recruitment programs and tourism strategies.

Those coordinated efforts will be rewarded by pearl prices improvement and further reinforced with the addition of new talent at the Pearling and distribution level. It can be said that Atlas pearls are now becoming a quality household name.

1.2.9. Research and Development

A third grant from the Australian Research Council is supporting phase three of our collaborative genetic research project with James Cook University. The program, which now boasts a dedicated hatchery and farm facility, is now exploring in more detail the genetic basis for pearl creation. This “stud” breeding facility in North Bali has been commissioned and is a first for pearl oysters using the world’s most comprehensive shellfish genome map to create a diverse stock selected for growth and pearl quality. The foundation work over the last 9 years has already seen our current generation of pearl oysters reduce the cycle of production by an average three months whilst enjoying record success in terms of survival and post operation success.

A $1M development grant to commercialise key pearl and native plant extracts in EOT was a major coup and recognises the technical skills of the Tasmanian team.

Concurrently, pearl and pearl oyster protein extracts are being tested in the pearl growing process. Preliminary results are exciting even more so as all the IP is controlled and contained within the Atlas group.

The same extracts have already completed the first round of efficacy testing in relation to human skin cell health. Initial results indicate that the extracts have a potential for skin health. Moreover, The Gemmoligical Institute of America is testing these materials directly on the surface of pearls.

2. DIVIDENDS

No dividends were declared and paid by the Company during the twelve month period ended 30 June 2014 or the 6-month period ended 30 June 2013.

3. EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

Mr Nelson Rocher was appointed Alternate Director to Mr Stephen Birkbeck on 18 July 2014.

4. LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

With our two technical hubs, Bali and Lembata beginning to reach optimal size Atlas is surveying both dormant existing lease areas and new sites for future growth opportunities. Several internationally backed pearl farming companies have approached Atlas wishing to collaborate and all potential JV options are being investigated.

Our current surplus in hatchery capacity has the potential to convert to a surplus in mature oysters for seeding over the next 2 years creating opportunity for additional pearl production.

Commissioning of our second pearl oyster transport vessel, the Poernomo, in the first quarter of FY14/15 will greatly enhance our ability to efficiently relocate virgin and seeded oysters and create opportunities for testing new sites by acting as a temporary operations facility.

The commissioning of the dedicated stud breeding facility will have an impact on the efficiency of the commercial farming programme by removing the need to maintain detailed comprehensive records of every pearl oyster family in the system. With family pedigree family lines now numbering in the hundreds, isolating the monitoring and selection programme to a dedicated team and facility frees the large-scale farms to rationalise stock and improving efficiency on the commercial scale and reduce husbandry costs. Furthermore, financial modelling analysis demonstrates that the stud farm is expected to be a profit centre within three years and is expected to produce the Best of Breed pearls creating a unique marketing position for a small premium grade crop. The availability of three hatcheries within the Atlas farm model is creating major risk mitigation and extending our production season by exploiting the environmental variation found in our different regional centres. A major spawning in August 2014 resulted in larvae being shared by the three hatcheries.

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The financial statements cover the consolidated entity of Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd and its subsidiaries. Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

A description of the nature of the consolidated entity’s operations and its principal activities is included in the review of operations and activities in the directors report which is not part of these financial statements.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 28[st] August 2014. The directors

have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

1.2 Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated financial statements of the Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

1.3 New and amended standards adopted by the group

None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial period beginning 1 July 2013 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and are not likely to affect future periods. Changes in AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, AASB 11 Joint Arrangements, AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement did not result in adjustment to the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

1.4 Historical Cost Convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of available for sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss and biological assets at fair value less cost to sell.

1.5 Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of 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 1.34.

45

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1.6 Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd (“Company” or “parent entity”) as at 30 June 2014 and the results of its subsidiaries for the twelve month period then ended. Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial statement as the consolidated entity.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured 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 deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of business combinations

by the Group.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies 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.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively.

(i) Employee Share Trust

The Group has formed a trust to administer the Group’s employee share scheme. The trust is consolidated, as the substance of the relationship is that the trust is controlled by the Group. Shares held by Atlas South Sea Pearl Limited Employee Share Trust are disclosed as treasury shares and deducted from contributed equity.

(ii) Joint Ventures

Joint venture entities

The interest in a joint venture entity is accounted for using the equity method after initially being recognised at cost in the consolidated statement of financial position. Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Details relating to the entity are set out in note 30.

When the group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

The group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to the owners.

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1.7 Income tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax is credited in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1.8 Inventories

  • (a) Pearls – The cost of pearls grown by the Group is the fair value less husbandry costs at the time the pearls are harvested. At each reporting date they are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

  • (b) Nuclei - quantities on hand at the period end are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

  • (c) Oysters – refer note 1.10.

  • (d) Crops – refer note 1.10.

  • (e) Essential Oils - quantities on hand at the period end are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

  • (f) Other inventories – including jewellery, fuel, mechanical parts and farm spares at the period end are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

1.9 Biological Assets

Oysters and Crops are measured at their fair value less estimated husbandry costs. The fair value of these biological assets is determined by using the present value of expected net cash flows from the oysters/crops, discounted using a pre-tax market determined rate.

Changes in fair value less estimated husbandry costs of these assets are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period they arise.

47

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1.9 Biological Assets (Cont.)

The details of the Biological assets that are held by the economic entity as at 30 June 2014 are provided at Note 10.

1.10 Property, Plant & Equipment

Each class of property, plant & equipment is stated at historical cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Property

Freehold land and buildings are shown at their cost, less subsequent depreciation for buildings.

Leasehold property is shown at cost and amortised over the shorter of the term of the unexpired lease on the property or the estimated useful life of the improvements on the property.

Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses.

The carrying value of plant and equipment and their useful lives are reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of these assets which is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employed and subsequent disposal.

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the economic entity includes the cost of materials and direct labour. Repairs and maintenance carried out on the assets are expensed unless there is a future economic benefit that will flow to the Group which can be reliably measured, in which case the value of the asset is increased.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Depreciation

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated on a straight line basis so as to write off the cost or valuation of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of fixed asset Depreciation rate
2013/14 2013
Freehold land 5-10% 5-10%
Leasehold land & buildings & improvements 5-10% 5-10%
Vessels 10% 10%
Plant & equipment 10-50%
10-50%

1.11 Investments and Other Financial Assets

The Group classifies its investments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.

48

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1.11 Investments and Other Financial Assets (Cont.)

(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these assets are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

(b) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the statement of financial position.

(c) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are nonderivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the reporting date. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity. Investments are designated as available-for-sale if they do not have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments and management intends to hold them for the medium to long term.

(d) Recognition and derecognition

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the economic entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

(e) Measurement

At initial recognition, the group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in the profit or loss.

Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss category are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise.

49

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1.11 Investments and Other Financial Assets (Cont.)

(f) Impairment

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for – sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset ( a ‘loss’ event) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

If there is evidence of impairment for any of the Group’s financial assets carried at amortised cost, the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows. The cash flows are discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

1.12 Derivative instruments

Derivative instruments are initially measured at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

1.13 Impairment of assets

Other assets are tested 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 assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Non financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

1.14 Foreign Currency Translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the subsidiaries within the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd’s functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.

50

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1.15 Foreign Currency Translation (Cont.)

(b) Transactions and balances (cont.)

Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as available for sale financial assets are included in the fair value reserve in equity.

All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of Profit of Loss and Other Comprehensive Income within other income or other expenses unless they relate to financial instruments.

(c) Group Companies

The results and financial position of all group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflation economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  1. Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;

  2. Income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates;

  3. and all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders’ equity. When a foreign operation is sold or borrowings are repaid, a proportional share of such exchange differences are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as part of the gain or loss on sale.

1.16 Employee Benefits

Short Term Obligation

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for accumulating sick leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.

Wages and salaries, annual leave, sick leave and long service leave

Contributions are made by the Group to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred.

Share-based payments

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd Employee Share Plan. Information relating to this scheme is set out in note 23.

The fair value of shares granted under the Employee Share Plan is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at the date that the employee enters into the plan and is recognised over the period during which the employee becomes unconditionally entitled to the shares.

51

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1.17 Provisions

Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognised when the group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.

1.18 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, high liquid investments with original maturity or three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.

1.19 Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

  • (a) Sales Revenue comprises of revenue earned from the sale of products or services to entities outside the economic entity. Sales revenue is recognised when the goods are provided or when the fee in respect of services provided is receivable.

  • (b) Interest Income is recognised as it accrues.

1.20 Leases

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risk and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

1.21 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. All trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account – provision for impairment of trade receivables, is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, financial reorganisation, and default and delinquency in payments, more than 30 days overdue, are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The Group also considers the long term history of the debtor. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

52

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1.22 Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the group prior to the end of financial period which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

1.23 Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds and the redemption amount is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest rate method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not an incremental cost relating to the actual draw down of the facility, are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the

contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

1.24 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed.

1.25 Convertible notes

The fair value of the liability portion of a convertible note is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible note. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the notes. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option. This is recognised and included in shareholders’ equity, net of income tax effects.

1.26 Contributed Equity

Ordinary share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company and recognised in equity.

Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.

1.27 Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the period but not distributed at reporting date.

1.28 Goods and Service Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods & services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and where receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables in the statement of financial position.

53

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1.28 Goods and Service Tax (GST) (Cont.)

Cash flows are included in the statement of cashflows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

1.29 Earnings Per Share

(a) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit after income tax attributable to members of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the period. The weighted average number of shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation is 297,634,113.

(b) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figure used in determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financial 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. The weighted average number of shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation is 319,634,113.

1.30 Segment Reporting

The Group has identified its operating segments based on internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of Directors and management team (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The operating segments are identified by management based on the manner in which the product is sold, whether retail or wholesale. Management also considers the business from a geographical perspective and has identified four reportable segments. Discrete financial information about each of these operating businesses is reported to the board of Directors and management team on at least a monthly basis.

The wholesale business is a producer and supplier of pearls within the wholesale market. The retail business is the manufacture and sale of pearl jewellery and related products within the retail market.

The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments are the same as those contained in note 1 to the accounts and in the prior period except as detailed below:

Inter-entity sales

Inter-entity sales are recognised based on an internally set transfer price. These transactions are eliminated within the internal reports. The revenue from external parties reported to the chief operating decision maker is measured in a manner consistent with that in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Biological assets and pearl inventories

These are recognised at cost within the internal reports.

It is the Group’s policy that if items of revenue and expense are not allocated to operating segments then any associated assets and liabilities are also not allocated to segments. This is to avoid asymmetrical allocations within segments which management believe would be inconsistent.

1.31 Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial period.

54

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1.32 Business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the group. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition by acquisition basis, the group recognises any non – controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets.

The excess of the consideration transferred the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the group’s share of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurements of all amounts have been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit and loss as a bargain purchase.

Where settlement of any part of cash contribution is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

Contingent consideration is classified as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

1.33 Parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity, Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd, disclosed in note 31 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below:

(i) Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd.

(ii) Share-based payments

The grant by the company of ordinary shares to the employees of subsidiary undertakings in the group is treated as a capital contribution to that subsidiary undertaking. The fair value of employee services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognised over the vesting period as an increase to investment in subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity.

1.34 Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

1.34 Critical accounting estimates and judgments (cont.)

Key estimates – Impairment

The group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies

– Doubtful debts provision

No provision has been recognised in respect of receivables owed to the group for the period ended 30 30 June 2014 or 30 June 2013.

– Write-off of pearl inventories

There was a write-off of $2,229,674 as at 30 June 2014 (30 June 2013 – $1,745,978). Refer to note 3.

– Determination of net market value of inventories and biological assets

Agricultural assets include pearl oysters, both seeded and unseeded and pearls that have been harvested from the oysters which remain unsold. Seeded oysters are measured at their fair value using the net present value of expected future net cash flows attributed to this inventory less the estimated husbandry costs. The fair value of unseeded oysters is determined by reference to market prices for this type of asset in Indonesia. Pearls are measured at their fair value husbandry costs by reference to anticipated market prices for pearls upon harvest. Carrying amount of inventories and biological assets are disclosed in note 10.

Key assumptions that have been used to determine the fair market value of the oysters at 30 June 2014 are as follows:

2014 are as follows:
30 June 2014 30 June 2013
Average selling price for pearls1 ¥11,000 per momme ¥8,250 per momme
¥ exchange rate ¥95.52:AUD1.00 ¥91.64:AUD1.00
Average pearl size 0.60 momme 0.60 momme
Proportion of market grade pearls 62% 61%

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1.34 Critical accounting estimates and judgments (cont.)

  1. Average pearl prices are based on management’s best judgement of the quality of pearls in the water at year end. Atlas expects the percentage of F-ops harvested to increase over the next two years, resulting in the harvest of heavier, rounder pearls. Management takes into consideration historical averages discounted for potential market volatility when calculating the average selling prices for pearls.

  2. In May 2014 approx. 40,000 low grade/by product pearls were sold, reducing the ¥ per momme for this period.

Biological assets are valued using estimated future yen rates. Biological assets recognised as current assets on the Statement of Financial Position represent the estimated value of the pearls to be harvested within the next 12 months. The yen rate used is based on the estimated yen rates for the next 18 months from Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

Key assumptions that have been used to determine the fair market value of the crops at 30 June 2014 are as follows:


2014 are as follows:
Boronia 30 June 2014 30 June 2013
Discount rate applied to cash flow 3-6% 3-6%

Year 2 – 10%
Year 3 – 25%
Year 4:10 – 40%
Selling price per kg $320 $300

- Determination of derivative liability within Convertible Notes

The fair value of the embedded derivative outstanding is measured using models that require the exercise of judgements in relation to variables such as expected volatility and future share price. Any changes in the variables will affect the fair value of the derivative post reporting date.

(a) Instruments used by the Group

The Group is party to derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business in order to hedge a proportion of the exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates in accordance with the Groups financial risk policies (refer note 32).

Derivative financial assets and liabilities comprise forward exchange contracts and an embedded derivative in the convertible note agreements (refer to note 13 for convertible note terms). Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of foreign exchange hedging contracts and convertible notes are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

The Groups operating expenses mainly consist of materials and services purchased in Indonesian Rupiah. In order to protect against exchange rate movements, during the year ended 31 December 2012 the Group had entered into forward exchange contracts to purchase Indonesian Rupiah during the year. During the period ended 30 June 2014 the Group did not enter into any forward exchange contracts to purchase Indonesian Rupiah. In addition the sale of pearls is denominated in Japanese Yen and so the Group has entered into forward exchange contracts and options to sell Japanese Yen and receive Australian Dollars.

See note 1.13 for details of accounting policy in relation to derivatives.

(b) Risk exposures

Information about the Group’s exposure to credit risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk is provided in note 32.

The Group is exposed to financial risk in respect of its involvement in primary production which consists of the breeding and rearing of oysters for the purpose of producing pearls. The primary financial risk associated with this activity occurs due to the length of time between the expenditure of cash in relation to the operation of the farm and the harvesting of the pearls and realisation of cash receipts from the sales to third parties. The Group ensures that it maintains sufficient working capital to ensure that it can sustain its operation through any delays in cash flow that may be reasonably foreseen.

Sensitivity analysis - Crops

The mark to market estimation of the value of the biological assets (Crops) is determined using the net present value of expected future net cash flows attributed to this inventory less the estimated husbandry costs.

The Group is exposed to financial risk in respect of its involvement in primary production which consists of the tending to crops the purpose of producing essential oils. The primary financial risk associated with this activity occurs due to the length of time between the expenditure of cash in relation to the operation of the farm and the harvesting of the crops and realisation of cash receipts from the sales to third parties. The Group ensures that it maintains sufficient working capital to ensure that it can sustain its operation through any delays in cash flow that may be reasonably foreseen.

23. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

In May 2006, an employee share plan was established which entitles the Board of Directors to offer shares to key management personnel within the Group. A total of 1,100,000 shares were issued during 2007 to six (6) employees including the managing director at a price of 40 cents per share which was a one (1) cent and eight (8) cent discount to the market at the dates of issue being 17[th] April 2007 and 10[th] May 2007 respectively. An interest free, non-recourse loan was provided to the key management staff to pay for these shares. This loan will be repaid by the employees from the proceeds of dividends that they are entitled to from the ownership of the shares. 50% of the shares vested to the employees after two (2) years employment from the time of issuing the shares and the remaining 50% vested to the employees after they have completed three (3) years of employment from the time of issuing the shares. Employees are only entitled to the shares if the loan is repaid in full.

1,900,000 shares remain on issue as at 30 June 2014 with debt of $428,500 outstanding by employees from the initial loan of $1,063,500 that was made when the shares were allocated to employees. Refer note 25 for details of equity held and loans outstanding to Key Management Personnel.

Shares issued to the employees are acquired and held in trust for the employees. Shares held by the trust and not yet issued to employees at the end of the reporting period are shown as treasury shares in the financial statements.

The fair value of shares issued under the scheme is independently determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the share, the impact of dilution, 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 share.

The shares rank equally with other fully paid ordinary shares.

Where shares are issued to employees of subsidiaries of the Group, the transactions are treated in accordance with the accounting policy at note 1.16.

At the company’s annual general meeting in May 2007, shareholders approved the allocation of a maximum of 4,000,000 shares to senior executives under the employee share plan within three years of the approval of the plan. No shares were issued in the current year under this allocation.

There were no shares issued under the plan in 2011. In 2012 the plan was replaced with a new Employee Salary Sacrifice Share Plan and Non-Executive Director Fee Salary Sacrifice Share Plan.

  • i. any Eligible Contractor; or

  • iv. More than 80% of the aggregate income of the company and the contracting individual from all sources (other than from each other) in the preceding 12 months was received form a Group Company.

The Board may determine the terms and conditions of the Salary Sacrifice arrangement for which Shares are offered in lieu of that Remuneration.

The number of Shares to be issues, transferred or allocated to the Trustee to be held on behalf of a Participant will be the dollar amount of the Salary Sacrifice divided by the issue price per Share outlined in the Invitation. In the case of fractional entitlements, the number of Shares to be issue, transferred or allocated to the Trustee to be held on behalf of a Participant will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share, unless otherwise determined by the Board from time to time.

Shares to be acquired by Eligible Participants under the Salary Sacrifice plan are held in the trust until such time that the Shares are fully paid for. Shares held by the trust and not yet issued to employees at the end of the reporting period are shown as treasury shares in the financial statements. As at 30 June 2014 4,461,640 of the shares issued to the Atlas South Sea Pearl Limited Employee Share Trust had been issued to Eligible Participants (30 June 2013 – 5,594,000 shares).

At the EGM on 13 May 2014 it was resolved to approve the Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd Employee Option Plan. On 24 February 2014, the Board adopted the Atlas pearls and Perfumes Ltd Employee Option Plan (Plan) under which eligible participants may be granted Options to acquire Shares in the Company. The intention of the Plan is to reward and to provide ongoing incentives to Directors, executives, employees, consultants and contractors of the Company.

The Directors, executives, employees and contractors of the Company have been, and will continue to be, instrumental in the growth of the Company. The Directors consider that the plan is an appropriate method to:

80

ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

23. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS (CONT.)

  • (a) Reward Directors, executives, employees, consultants and contractors for their past performance;

  • (b) Provide long term incentives for participation in the Company’s future growth;

  • (c) Motivate Directors, executives, employees, consultants and contractors and general loyalty; and

  • (d) Assist to retain the services of valuation Directors, executives, employees, consultants and contractors.

The Plan will be used as part of the remuneration planning for Directors, executives, employees and contractors. Under the plan, participants are granted options which only vest if certain performance standards are met. Participation in the plan is at the board’s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits.

The Corporate Governance Council Guidelines recommend that remuneration packages involve a balance between fixed and incentive pay reflecting short and long-term performance objectives appropriate to the Company’s circumstances and goals. The Board considers that the Plan will assist the Company in structuring the remuneration packages of its executives in accordance with the Guidelines.

  • The amount of options that will vest depends on the individual’s Key Performance Indicators. An option which has vested but has not been exercised will immediately lapse upon the first to occur of: (i) Close of business on the Expiry Date;

  • (ii) The transfer or supported transfer of the Option in breach of Clause 7(a) of the plan;

  • (iii) Termination of the Participant’s employment or engagement with the Company or an Associate Body Corporate on the basis that the Participant acted fraudulently, dishonestly, in breach of the Participant’s obligations or otherwise for cause; and

  • (iv) The day which is six months after an event which gives rise to a vesting under clauses 4(a) to 4(d) of the plan.

Options are granted under the plan for no consideration. Options granted under the plan carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary. The options expire on the 31 December 2016.

The exercise price of options is based on 143% of the volume weighted average share price at which the company’s shares are traded on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) during the week up to and including the date of the grant.

Fair value of options granted

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted during the year ended 30 June 2014 was $0.20. There were no options granted during the six months ended 30 June 2013. The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, 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.

The model inputs for options granted during the year ended 30 June 2014 are detailed below.

On the 24[th] of February 2014 7,500,000 options exercisable at $0.0858 each on or before 31 December 2016 were issued to employees and contractors of the Company on the terms and conditions set out in the Explanatory Memorandum ratified at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on the 13[th] of May 2014. The options issued on the 24[th] of February have a fair value of $0.020. This valuation imputes a total value of approximately $151,720 for the proposed Options. The value may go up or down as it will depend in part on the future price of a Share.

The Black & Scholes methodology has been used, together with the following assumptions:

  • (i) Options are granted for no consideration and vest based on the individual’s Key Performance Indicators. Vested options are exercisable for a period of six months after vesting or the earlier of 31 December 2016.

  • (ii) Exercise price - $0.086;

  • (iii) Grant date - 24 February 2014;

  • (iv) Share price at grant date: $0.063

  • (v) Expected price volatility of the company’s shares: 60%;

  • (vi) Expected dividend yield: 0%;

  • (vii) Risk-free interest rate: 3.06%

The options issued on the 13[th] of May 2014 have a fair value of $0.020. This valuation imputes a total value of approximately $214,020 (respectively $203,829 for Mr Birkbeck and $10,191 for Dr Taylor) for the proposed Options. The value may go up or down as it will depend in part on the future price of a Share.

The Black & Scholes methodology has been used, together with the following assumptions:

  • (i) Options are granted for no consideration and vest based on the individual’s Key Performance Indicators. Vested options are exercisable for a period of six months after vesting or the earlier of 31 December 2016.

  • (ii) Exercise price - $0.086;

The options issued on the 2[nd] of June 2014 have a fair value of $0.019. This valuation imputes a total value of approximately $164,017 for the proposed Options. The value may go up or down as it will depend in part on the future price of a Share.

The Black & Scholes methodology has been used, together with the following assumptions:

  • (i) Options are granted for no consideration and vest based on the individual’s Key Performance Indicators. Vested options are exercisable for a period of six months after vesting or the earlier of 31 December 2016.

  • (ii) Exercise price - $0.095;

  • (iii) Grant date – 2 June 2014;

  • (iv) Share price at grant date: $0.067

  • (v) Expected price volatility of the company’s shares: 60%;

The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility (based on the remaining life of the options), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.

Where options are issued to employees of subsidiaries within the group, the subsidiaries compensate Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd for the amount recognised as expense in relation to these options.

32. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price 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. The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts and options to hedge certain risk exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes, ie not as trading or speculative instruments. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. The Group uses sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate and foreign exchange risks and aging analysis for credit risk.

Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors.

The Group holds the following financial instruments:

Market Risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates internationally and are exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the Japanese Yen, Indonesian Rupiah, US Dollar and Euro.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency and net investments in foreign operations. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.

Management manages their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. Group companies are required to hedge a proportion of their foreign exchange risk exposure arising from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities using forward exchange contracts and options under the guidance of the Board of Directors.

The majority of the Group’s cash reserves are held in Australian banks with AAA ratings.

Majority of the exposure above relates to the borrowings held in Yen.

Not shown in the table above, is the exposure to exchange movements on the intercompany loan denominated in Australian dollars made to the Indonesian subsidiaries. At the period end this loan stood at AUD$2,379,072. The intercompany loans are eliminated on consolidation. The impact for the current year on the profit or loss was a loss of $599,763 because the Indonesian Rupiah weakened against the Australian dollar. If the Indonesian Rupiah strengthens or weakens against the Australian dollar by 10%, there would be an effect on the (profit) or loss of ($264,341) or $216,279 respectively.

32. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT.)

  • (ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from its borrowings. Given that borrowings are all due within 12 months and are at fixed interest rates the Group considers that any fair value interest rate risk or cash flow risk will be immaterial.

  • (iii) Price risk

The Group is exposed to fluctuations in pearl prices. This product is not traded as a commodity on an open market and as such the price risk cannot be hedged.

Credit risk

Credit risk is managed on a group basis . Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables. The Group considers the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Sales to retail customers are required to be settled in cash or using major credit cards, thus mitigating credit risk.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets as summarised on page 51. For retail customers without credit rating the Group generally retains title over the goods sold until payment is received in full.

All cash balances held at banks are held at internationally recognised institutions. The Australian Government has guaranteed all deposits held with Australian banks, cash held in Indonesia is not covered by this guarantee. The majority of other receivables held are with related parties and within the Group. Given this the credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due or impaired can be assessed by reference to historical information about default rates.

The credit quality of trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to historical information about counterparty default rates.

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Group management aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available. Surplus funds are generally only invested in instruments such as term deposits that are highly liquid.

Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity reserve (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below) and cash and cash equivalents (note 6) on the basis of expected cash flows. This is generally carried out by the Board of Directors on a Group basis. In addition, the Group’s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these and monitoring debt financing plans.

Bank loans are secured by a registered company charge by Commonwealth Bank of Australia over the whole of the assets and undertakings including uncalled capital of Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd and its related entities except for the shares and assets of Essential Oils of Tasmania Pty Ltd and World Senses Pty Ltd. The bank loans are provided under a Japanese Yen Domestic Foreign Currency Advance facility with a fixed interest rate which currently stands at 3.67% expiring on 31 May 2016 and an undrawn Australian Dollar Bills Discount facility with a bank bill rate of BBSY plus a margin of 3.55% repayable one year from the draw down date. As at the reporting date the Company had drawn down $3,951,715 (30 June 2013: $4,226,864) and had undrawn facilities available of $1,048,285 (30 June 2013: $773,136). The loans can be drawn at any time and are subject to annual review.

The other bank loan (secured) also provided by Commonwealth Bank of Australia was repaid during the period ended 30 June 2013. A new other bank loan (unsecured) provided by Microsoft Finance was provided during the year to acquire the accounting software Microsoft Navision; the liability at reporting date was $92,465.

Lease liabilities have been provided by St George Bank and Esanda and are effectively secured by the rights to the leased assets, recognised in the financial statements, which revert to the lessor in the event of default. The value of the loans relating to Lease liabilities as at the reporting date was $112,064 (30 June 2013: $178,901).

During the six month period ended 30 June 2013 Atlas issued Convertible Notes for a total value of $1,100,000. The Convertible Notes have a maturity date of 2 years after issue, attract an interest rate of 6% payable six monthly in arrears and are redeemable for ordinary shares in Atlas at any time during the 10 Business Days prior to the first anniversary of the Issue Date for the Convertible Notes; or the Maturity Date of the Convertibles Notes, or such other period as agreed in writing between the Company and the Noteholder. If the Noteholder exercises its conversion right, the Company must comply by redeeming all of the convertibles notes referred to in the Conversion Notice at their Face Value; and applying the Conversion Amount as subscription funds for the Conversion Shares which are to be issued to the Noteholder at a price per Conversion Share equal to the lower of: 5 cents or 90% of the 10 day volume weighted average. If the Noteholder does not exercise its conversion right the face value is redeemable in cash at the date of expiry.

The company is required to meet three financial undertakings to comply with the lending conditions imposed by the bank as follows: (All covenants have been meet for the year ended 30 June 2014).

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and exceptional items (Normalised EBITDA) will be greater than and at least equal to;

$1,500,000 for the 12 months 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014; and

$1,500,000 for the 12 months 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015; and

$1,500,000 for the 12 months 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016

Minimum net worth of the borrower (Atlas) will at all times be greater than $18,000,000; and

The ratio of net worth of the borrower to total tangible assets of the borrower will at all times be equal to or greater than 60%. All the covenants have been met during the year. The fair value of bank loans equals their carrying amount, as the impact of discounting is not significant. The fair value of convertible notes is reviewed half-yearly to determine the fair value of the derivative liability component.

(a) Fair value hierarchy

AASB 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

(a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)

(b) inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (level 2), and

(c) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The following table presents the group’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013 on a recurring basis:

(b) Valuation techniques used to derive level 2 and level 3 fair values

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over–the– counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

During the prior reporting period Atlas issued Convertible Notes for a total value of $1,100,000. The Convertible Notes have a maturity date of 2 years after issue (therefore maturing between January and June 2015), attract an interest rate of 6% payable six monthly in arrears and are redeemable for ordinary shares in Atlas at any time during the 10 Business Days prior to the first anniversary of the

Issue Date for the Convertible Notes; or the Maturity Date of the Convertibles Notes, or such other period as agreed in writing between the Company and the Noteholder. If the Noteholder exercises its conversion right, the Company must comply by redeeming all of the convertibles notes referred to in the Conversion Notice at their Face Value; and applying the Conversion Amount as subscription funds for the Conversion Shares which are to be issued to the Noteholder at a price per Conversion Share equal to the lower of: 5 cents or 90% of the 10 day volume weighted average.

This conversion feature represents an embedded derivative that is required to be fair valued.

The current fair value is governed by the 5 cents conversion rather than the 90% of the 10 day volume weighted average, therefore the derivative has been valued using the Black-Scholes model. The inputs used in this model are as follows:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ Responsibility 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 Note 1.2, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Stat ements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards .

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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 company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
