R E V I E W O F A C T I V I T I E S

Audalia Resources Limited (ASX: ACP ) is pleased to present its financial report for the year ended 30 June 2016 to shareholders and provide some insight into the advancement the Company has made in its activities to date and progress that it expects to make going forward.

OVERVIEW

MEDCALF PROJECT

The Medcalf vanadium - titanium Project is located 470km east-southeast of Perth near Lake Johnston. The Project comprises two granted Exploration Licences E63/1133 and E63/1134, and three Prospecting Licences P63/1528, P63/1560 and P63/1561 as well as mining lease M63/656. Together these licences cover a total area of 24 km[2] .

The Project lies in the southern end of the Archaean Lake Johnston greenstone belt. This greenstone belt is a narrow, north-northwest trending belt approximately 110km in length. It is located near the south margin of the Yilgarn Craton, midway between the southern ends of the Norseman-Wiluna and the Forrestania-Southern Cross greenstone belts (see Figure 1).

Previous work carried out by numerous holders of the tenements over the last 40 years includes exploration for nickel, titanium/vanadium, platinum group metals (PGM) and gold. The primary vandiferous titanomagnetite mineralisation occurs within the pyroxenite zone between the basal peridotite and upper gabbro zones of the sill. The lateritic weathering of this sill has removed much of the silica, calcium and magnesium in solution thus resulting in residual concentrations of iron, titanium and vanadium oxides. This secondary enrichment potentially hosts economic ore.

Activities conducted during the year

The 2016 financial year has been a productive and rewarding year for the Company and its flagship Medcalf Project. The Company commenced the year focusing its attention on four key areas: securing an agreement with the traditional owners of the land, the Ngadju People, obtaining the mining lease over the Medcalf Project, continuing its pre-feasibility study ( PFS ) with the commencement of the metallurgical testwork and obtaining the necessary approvals to commence a drilling programme once a heritage agreement had been reached. In addition to these focuses, the Company continued environmental work by conducting target searches of flora conservational significance and and updating its Conservation Management Plan.

R E V I E W O F A C T I V I T I E S

The December quarter was an extremely busy quarter and saw the Company achieve two significant milestones. The first was the signing of the definitive agreement with the Ngadju People on 9 November 2015. The agreement has provided the Company with certainty as to its rights to tenure and the ability to develop the Medcalf Project and conduct operations. The terms of the agreement have also ensured that the Ngadju People, the sole native title holders in the area encompassing the Medcalf Project, will share in the benefits of the Project from both an economic and social standpoint. The completion of this agreement was also a condition precedent to the grant of mining lease application by the Department of Mines and Petroleum ( DMP ).

Subsequently, on 13 November 2015, the Company received notice from the DMP that the granting of mining lease application M63/656 had been approved. This was the second significant milestone for the Company and allowed the Company to commence the process to seek the necessary regulatory approvals and permits required for the development of the Medcalf Project.

The Company also made significant progress in its PFS during the December quarter with work commencing on hydrology, geology, mining, environment, power as well as the marketing and financing elements of the study in addition to advancing the metallurgical testwork. The hydrometallurgical testwork focused on the recoveries and grade as well as flowsheet optimisation with a view to analysing the overall project development as part of the PFS.

The Company also designed and completed a 17-hole drill programme produced 723.1m of PQ core for further test work to assist in defining the metallurgical characteristics of the Medcalf Project mineralisation and progressing the optimal process flow sheets.

The third quarter saw the Company complete its PFS for its flagship Medcalf Project which was announced to ASX on 9 March 2016. The study validates the potential for a viable vanadium-titanium mining and processing operation, with iron by-products and provides opportunities to evaluate options to further reduce operating and capital costs and reduce the environmental impact of the operations.

The study also highlighted a number of priority actions have been recommended as a forward work plan including interim metallurgical testwork, environmental approvals and permitting, infill drilling and exploration, which will be pursued leading into the definitive feasibility study ( DFS ).

In addition to completing the PFS the Company commenced the next phase of metallurgical testwork to further optimise the flow sheet and increase the confidence of the key assumptions used in the PFS and completed rehabilitation of the 17-hole PQ drill core programme which was undertaken during the December 2015 quarter. Audalia’s Conservation Management Plan was updated during the quarter to reflect the proposed drill programme together with data from recent flora surveys conducted at the Medcalf Project. In May 2016, the Company received confirmation from the Department of Parks and Wildlife ( DPaW ) that Audalia’s Conservation Management Plan is acceptable to DPaW’s departmental standards.

Following completion of the PFS, the Company has continued the interim metallurgical testwork programme to optimise the flow sheet and increase confidence in the key assumptions with its overseas consultant. The Company has also received approvals for the Programme of Works from DMP and permits granted by DPaW to enable the Company to undertake drill programmes to upgrade the Mineral Resource category to Ore Reserve.

The Company also submitted all of its annual environmental and technical reports for the Medcalf Project during the period.

GASCOYNE PROJECT

The Gascoyne Project comprises 100% owned tenements covering 537km[2] that are highly prospective for Lead (Pb), Zinc (Zn) and Copper (Cu) deposits, located in the Gascoyne Region, Western Australia. It is located approximately 250km to the east of Carnarvon and 830km north from Perth (see Figure 2).

The Gascoyne Project covers an area of mid-Proterozoic aged, metamorphosed sediments and volcanic rocks which have been subjected to several phases of tectonic deformation and intruded by granitoids. Exploration work and drilling to date has used the geological model of base metal mineralisation being associated with coincident soil geochem and “thumbprint” magnetic anomalies. Historical RC drill testing from one of these targets has returned significant intercepts of 2.3% Pb and 0.9% Cu. Lead sulphide (galena) and copper sulphides (chalcopyrite) were identified in the drill chips.

Figure 2: Gascoyne Project - Location Map

Activities conducted during the year

On 15 July 2016, the Company received confirmation that DMP had granted Audalia’s application for E09/2102 following the signing of a heritage agreement with the Gnulli People on 14 July 2015. This provided certainty of tenure to the exploration licence and enabled the Company to focus its attention on exploring the entire tenement package.

During the December and March quarters, a number of tenements forming part of the Gascoyne Project became due for their mandatory reduction process as the original tenement area had reached its six year timeframe having passed since the original grant of the exploration licences. The Company undertook an analysis of the tenement holdings and reduced the non-prospective areas as part of the review.

The Company also applied for and was granted exemption from the expenditure conditions for the 2014/15 period in relation to each of the tenements forming part of the Gascoyne Project to enable the Company to first bring the level of geological understanding of E09/2102 in line with the rest of the tenement package before planning future works on the Project.

The Company continued its desktop evaluation work in respect of the tenement package with a view to design an initial work programme for the Gascoyne Project.

After receiving the grant for the exemption from expenditure conditions for the 2014/15 the Company commenced field work at the Gascoyne Project with a consultant geologist undertaking rock chip sampling on exploration licence E09/2102.

The Company also submitted all of its annual environmental and technical reports for the Gascoyne Project during the period.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS

The Company will continue to pursue its principal activity of mineral exploration and continue to review and assess other acquisition and joint venture opportunities in the resource sector. Specifically, Audalia is seeking to advance the interim metallurgical testwork with a view to commencing a DFS at the flagship Medcalf Project in 2017.

Planned exploration and activities

The Company’s near term objectives include:

Medcalf Project

  • Commence a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) once interim metallurgical testwork has been completed;

  • Upgrade the existing Mineral Resource to the Ore Reserve category;

  • Continue securing the necessary licences and approvals for the Project.

Gascoyne Project

  • Design and implement a drill programme.

MINERAL RESOURCES STATEMENT

The Company has a 100% equity interest in mineral resource estimate at its Medcalf Project, which is located 470km east of Perth.

At 30 June 2016, the Medcalf Project’s mineral resource estimate stood at 31.8 Mt at 0.45% V2O5 for contained vanadium pentoxide contents of approximately 108,000 tonnes in the Indicated category and 35,000 tonnes in the Inferred category. This mineral resource estimate was prepared in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2012 Edition (JORC 2012).

The Company announced a significant upgrade in the JORC 2012 resource classification for its Medcalf Project to the market on 18 August 2014. This upgrade followed revision of the geological and mineralisation modelling in conjunction with updated and ongoing metallurgical extraction testwork. This compares to the maiden Inferred Resource of 28.5 Mt at 0.50% V2O5 for 142,862 tonnes contained vanadium pentoxide as announced in 2013 and included in the 2014 Annual Report.

The ‘Checklist of Assessment and Reporting Criteria’ was also provided with the technical report in line with the guidelines of the JORC Code (2012). The mineral resource has been interpolated within geological wireframe the using a 0.20% V205 lower cut and is tabulated below.

Fixed remuneration consists of base compensation (which is calculated on a total cost) as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. As described in (h), as it is not possible to evaluate the Company’s financial performance using generally accepted measures such as profitability or total shareholder returns, remuneration considerations will have regard to achievement of strategic objectives, service criteria and share price.

(f) Executive remuneration (continued)

As noted above, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee has access to external advice independent of management, if required.

(ii) Short-term incentive

The Company has not set any short-term incentives ( STI ) for key management personnel.

(iii) Long-term incentive

Long-term incentives ( LTI ) may be provided to key management personnel in the form of options over ordinary shares of the Company, ordinary shares or other equity-settled remuneration. LTI are considered to promote continuity of employment and provide additional incentive to recipients to increase shareholder wealth. LTI may generally only be issued to directors subject to approval by shareholders in a general meeting.

During the year, the CEO participated in LTI in the form of equity-settled remuneration which has been granted pursuant to the completion of certain performance conditions and after the Company obtained the necessary approval from shareholders. Further details are set out in (l) of this Remuneration Report.

The Company has a policy that prohibits employees and directors of the Company from entering into transactions that operate or are intended to operate to limit the economic risk or are designed or intended to hedge exposure to unvested Company securities. This includes entering into arrangements to hedge their exposure to LTI granted as part of their remuneration package. This policy may be enforced by requesting employees and directors to confirm compliance.

(g) Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2015 Annual General Meeting

The Remuneration Report for the 2015 financial year received positive shareholder support at the 2015 AGM with a vote of 100% in favour. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration practices.

(h) Consequences of performance on shareholder wealth

In considering the Company’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the Directors have regard to the following indices in respect of the current financial period:

2016 3 2015 2 2014 1 2013
Net loss for the year4 $838,509 $753,141 $402,942 $288,724
Change in share price ($0.16) $0.10 ($0.125) $0.04
Share price at beginning of the period $0.23 $0.13 $0.25 $0.21
Share price at end of the period $0.07 $0.23 $0.13 $0.25
Lossper share 0.35 cents 0.32 cents 0.23 cents 0.36 cents
  1. The Company issued a total of 150,000,000 shares during the 2014 financial year, on 27 September 2013 (12,000,000) and 12 November 2013 (138,000,000).

  2. The Company issued a total of 4,000,000 shares during the 2015 financial year, on 14 November 2014 (2,000,000) and 26 February 2015 (2,000,000).

  3. The Company issued a total of 6,500,000 shares during the 2016 financial year, on 23 November 2015 (2,500,000), on 24 December 2015 (2,000,000) and on 30 March 2016 (2,000,000).

  4. The net loss for the 30 June 2015 year has been restated to exclude the share based payment expense of $269,317.

Due to the Company currently being in an exploration and evaluation phase, the Company’s earnings are not considered to be a principal performance indicator. However, the overall level of key management personnel remuneration takes into account the achievement of strategic objectives, service criteria and share price.

Given the Company’s increasing level of activities in this period, the achievement of milestones since incorporation in 2010, levels of both non-executive and executive remuneration increased with effect from 4 July 2014, as disclosed in this Remuneration Report. The aggregate remuneration for non-executive directors has remained unchanged since voted upon by shareholders in January 2011.

(i) Employment and Consultancy Agreements

The Company has entered into employment agreements with its Executive Chairman and Executive Director. The employment agreements outline the components of remuneration paid or payable to the executives and are reviewed on an annual basis.

13

  • o 2,000,000 Shares upon the completion and receipt of the pre-feasibility report on the Medcalf Project.

Each of the tranches of Shares will be held in escrow for a period of 2 years from their respective dates of issue. Further details are set out in (l) of this Remuneration Report.

Either Mr Butler or Audalia may terminate the agreement at any time by giving six month’s written notice to the other.

Refer to Note 19 for details on the financial impact in future periods resulting from firm commitments arising from noncancellable contracts for services with directors.

(j) Link between remuneration and performance

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee determines the Company’s remuneration policy and structure to ensure it aligns with the Company’s needs and meet remuneration principles set out in (d). Remuneration is not linked to performance using generally accepted measures such as profitability or total shareholder returns but linked to achievement of strategic objectives or service criteria aimed at advancing the goals set out to achieve project outcomes which the Board believes aligns with creation of positive shareholder value.

**The expense relating to the share base payment has been recognised over the period of service until the satisfaction of the performance hurdles occurred in the 2016 financial year. The shares are subject to an escrow period of 2 years from the date of issue.

(l) Share-based remuneration

The CEO achieved both of the hurdles in the 2016 financial year and received 2,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares ( Shares ) on 24 December 2015 and 2,000,000 Shares on 30 March 2016. The fair value of shares was remeasured at the grant date (being the 2015 AGM) when the Company received shareholder approved to issue the shares.

14 April 2015 Completion and receipt of the pre-feasibility report
(2 years) 2,000,000 Hurdle 2 on the Medcalf Project 2,000,000

Fair value of Share based remuneration

The fair value of the share based payments as at the grant date was $0.225 (being market price of the shares at the date of the AGM where shareholder approval was received).

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report of Audalia Resources Limited (the Company or Audalia ) for the financial year ended 30 June 2016 was authorised by the board of directors for release on 29 September 2016.

The Company is a public company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Company are described in the Review of Activities.

(a) Basis of preparation

The principle accounting policies adopted for the preparation of financial statements are set out below. These accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented and have been consistently applied by the Company to all the years presented unless otherwise stated.

(i) Statement of compliance

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 . Audalia is a for profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The financial statements of the Company also comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ( IASB ).

(ii) Basis of measurement

The financial statements are prepared on the accruals basis and the historical cost basis except for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar unless otherwise stated.

(iii) Going concern

At 30 June 2016, the Company incurred a net loss after tax of $838,509, net operating and investing cash outflows of $2,403,121 and had $882,660 in cash and cash equivalents. The Company continues to incur expenditure in exploring and evaluating its tenements, drawing on its cash balances.

The Company has prepared a cash flow forecast to meet minimum commitments for the next 12 months. Should the Company wish to progress its exploration and evaluation activities at a rate greater than the minimum requirements, the Company will require additional funding above the expected cash amounts expected to be received in the next 12 months. As the Company has not yet secured this additional funding, it may result in a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business at amounts stated in the financial report.

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Directors consider there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern after consideration of the following factors:

  • The Company has access to the use of cash reserves of $882,660 as at 30 June 2016 (2015: $2,660,781).

  • The Company has access to a further $375,000 under its loan facilities as at the date of this report.

  • The Company has the ability to adjust its exploration expenditure subject to results of its exploration activities.

  • The Company is expected to receive its R&D tax incentive refund during the next 6 months.

  • The Company has completed an Entitlement Issue on a one (1) for one (1) basis to issue 143,297,433 shares at an issue price of $0.01 per share to raise an amount of $1,432,974.

The directors anticipate the support of its major shareholders and lenders and are confident in the Company’s ability to raise an appropriate level of funding to execute its development plan and continue its exploration activities. This was demonstrated by the extension of the repayment date of the Loan Facilities of $4 million from 20 March 2017 to 20 November 2018 on 8 August 2016.

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(iv) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements and estimates on historical experience and on other various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are outlined below:

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

The write-off and carrying forward of exploration acquisition costs is based on the on-going assessment of an area of interest’s viability and/or the existence of economically recoverable reserves based on an assessment of impairment indicators and with information available at the time of preparing this report. Information may come to light in subsequent periods which requires the asset to be impaired or written down for which the directors are unable to predict the outcome.

Deferred taxation

Deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses have not been brought to account as it is currently not considered probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they could be utilised.

  • (v) Re-statement of prior period, voluntary change in accounting policy – share based payments adjustment

The Company’s accounting policy for share based payments for the year ended 30 June 2015 included the requirement to expense the recognised cost of the transactions in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The Company has since reassessed this policy (refer 1(j)) given the nature of the underlying transactions relate directly to the development of the exploration and evaluation expenditure, namely the grant of a mining lease and the completion of a pre-feasibility study. The share based payment expense for the year ended 30 June 2015 that related to the CEO’s right to shares upon achieving these milestones has been retrospectively transferred to the carrying value of the exploration asset in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies. The impact of this adjustment has been disclosed in notes 11 and note 18.

(b) Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start-up operations which are yet to earn revenues. Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the level of segment information presented to the Board of Directors.

Operating segments have been identified based on the information provided to the chief operating decision makers, being the Board of Directors.

(c) Impairment of non-financial assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure is assessed for impairment indicators under AASB 6 paragraph 20 and where there are indicators of impairment the Company will test for impairment. 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 asset’s 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. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Nonfinancial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above.

(e) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost less any impairment losses recognised. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due.

(f) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. The Company undertakes an assessment of impairment indicators at each reporting date to determine if the assets recoverable amount exceeds it carrying amount. Where there are research and development costs recouped through government incentives in relation to exploration and evaluation, these are netted against the carrying value of capitalised expenditure incurred in respect of the identifiable project or area of interest where practicable. Events may occur or information may come to hand after the issue of this report which may materially alter the carrying value of this asset. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits.

Such costs are determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis. Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs are determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.

(g) Trade and other payables

Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to the Company. Trade accounts payable are normally settled within 60 days. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(h) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit and loss over the period of borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash asset transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit and loss as other income or finance costs. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

(i) Employee benefits

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 services are recognised in respect of employee’s services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(i) Employee benefits (continued)

The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the statement of financial position. Liabilities for long service leave and annual leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are measured as present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period. Remeasurements as a result of adjustments and changes are recognised in profit and loss. The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

(j) Share based payments

Share based compensation benefits are provided to a key management personnel and a consultant. Information relating to the share based payments are set out in Note 17. Fair value of share based payments are recognised based on the nature of the underlying transaction to which the share based payment relates with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value recognised is determined by reference to the market value of the securities at grant date and is recognised over the period from commencement of the service contract to the date the securities vest with the recipient.

(k) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(l) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at fair value of consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and can be reliably measured. Amounts disclosed as revenue represent interest received. Interest income is recognised as it accrues.

(m) Leases

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(n) Income tax

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:

  • (a) except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • (b) in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised:

  • (a) except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • (b) in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(n) Income tax (continued)

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the income statement. The Company has unused tax losses. However, no deferred tax balances have been recognised, as it is considered that asset recognition criteria have not been met at this time.

(o) Goods and services tax (“GST”)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • When the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and 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.

  • Receivables and payables, which 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 or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows 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 is classified as part of operating cash flows.

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

(p) Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to members of the Company for the reporting period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company.

(q) Property, plant and equipment

Property plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less accumulated depreciation. Costs may include expenditure directly attributable to acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the assets’ carrying value or recognised as separate assets, as appropriate only when probable future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and costs can be reliably measured. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed annually to ensure they are not stated in excess of recoverable amounts.

Depreciation rates used for each class of asset is as follows:

Class of fixed asset rate Furniture and fittings 10% straight line Office equipment 25% - 33 % straight line Leasehold improvements 33% straight line

Assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, adjusted if appropriate at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in profit and loss.

Assets which are used for exploration and evaluation activities are depreciated over its useful life, reflecting the extent to which the assets have been consumed. The depreciation is added to the intangible exploration and evaluation asset balance and accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest, as described in accounting policy note (f).

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(r) Provisions

Provisions for legal claims are recognised when the Company has a present legal obligation as a result of past events. It is probable that an outflow of resource will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably measured. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenses required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and risks specific to the liability. The increase in provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

(s) Tax incentives

The Company may be entitled to claim special tax deductions for investments in qualifying expenditure (e.g. Research and Development Tax Incentive Scheme in Australia). The group accounts for such allowances on the same basis as the relevant expenditure. If the expenditure is expensed in the income statement the tax incentive will be recorded in the profit and loss. If the expenditure is capitalised to an asset, the tax incentive will reduce the carrying value of the asset.

(t) New accounting standards and interpretations that are not yet mandatory

The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been identified as those which may impact the Company in the period of initial application. They have not been applied in preparing the financial report.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Overview

The Company has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:

  • market risk

  • credit risk

  • liquidity risk

This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.

Audalia’s risk management framework is supported by the Board, management and the Audit and Risk Committee. The Board is responsible for approving and reviewing the Company’s risk management strategy and policy. Management are responsible for monitoring that appropriate processes and controls are in place to effectively and efficiently manage risk. The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for identifying, monitoring and managing significant business risks faced by the Company and considering the effectiveness of its internal control system. Management and the Audit and Risk Committee report to the Board.

The Board has established an overall Risk Management Policy which sets out the Company’s system of risk oversight, management of material business risks and internal control.

Financial risk management objectives

The overall financial risk management strategy focuses on the unpredictability of the equity markets and seeks to minimise the potential adverse effects due to movements in financial liabilities or assets.

The Company holds the following financial instruments as at 30 June:

Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and commodity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising return. There were no changes in the Company’s market risk management policies from previous years.

Interest rate risk

The Company’s exposure to interest rates primarily relates to the Company’s cash and cash equivalents. The Company manages market risk by monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate risk and assessing market forecasts for interest rates.

At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Company’s interest bearing financial instruments was:

Variable rate instruments
Cash at bank

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

Based on cash balances held at variable rates as at 30 June 2016, a change of 25 basis points in interest rates would have increased or decreased the Company’s loss by $2,207 (2015: $1,652 at 25 basis points). The Board assessed a 25 basis point movement as being reasonably possible based on recent RBA and press reports, whereby a movement of this magnitude is possible over the next 12 months. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

Other market price risk

The Company is involved in the exploration and development of mining tenements for minerals. Should the Company successfully progress to a producer, revenues associated with mineral sales, and the ability to raise funds through equity and debt, will have some dependence upon commodity prices.

The Company operates within Australia and all transactions during the financial year are denominated in Australian dollars. The Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents. There were no changes in the Company’s credit risk management policies from previous years.

The Company does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure.

The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit rating (Standard & Poor’s) if available or to historical information about counterparty default rates:

Cash at bank and short-term bank deposits
A-1+1
Trade and other receivables

  1. The equivalent S&P rating of the financial assets represents that rating of the counterparty with whom the financial asset is held rather than the rating of the financial asset itself.

  2. Trade and other receivables consist of amounts receivable from a private entity.

Allowance for impairment loss

A provision for impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that an individual receivable is impaired.

Balances within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. It is expected that these other balances will be received when due.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the financial liabilities of the Company and the Company’s subsequent ability to meet their obligations to repay their financial liabilities as and when they fall due.

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors. The Board has determined an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and continuously monitoring budgeted and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets, expenditure commitments and liabilities. There were no changes in the Company’s liquidity risk management policies from previous years.

2. Trade and other payables includes an amount of accrued interest on the borrowings of $320,438 (2016) and $46,904 (2015).

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The Directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximate their fair values due to their short term maturity.

Capital management

When managing capital, the Board’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Board also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the entity.

The Board is constantly adjusting the capital structure to take advantage of favourable costs of capital. As the market is constantly changing, the Board may issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt and operating expenditure.

The Board seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position although there is no formal policy regarding gearing levels.

The Company has no formal financing and gearing policy or criteria during the year. The Board makes a periodic assessment of its capital requirements and has taken advantage of low cost of capital in debt markets during the year at a time when it believes capital through equity raising would be less attractive.

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Audalia Resources Limited

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Audalia Resources Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and 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.

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, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , 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.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Audalia Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
