- 8.8.2 Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it believe that they will be successful?
Answer: Audalia manages its cash flow through ongoing budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting processes, using that information to make decisions about the Company’s activities and to determine the form and timing of funding for those activities. Audalia has been able to demonstrate a record of securing funds when required (refer to ASX announcements dated 30 November 2020 - Completion of Placement of $400,000, 28 September 2020 and 16 June 2020 - Funding Update, 6 March 2020 - Completion of Placement of $360,000, 11 July 2019 – Update on funding and capital raising, 20 June 2018 – Shortfall on entitlement issue and 16 March 2018 – Update on Funding) and is confident that it will be able to continue to do so.
- 8.8.3 Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its business objectives and, if so, on what basis?
Answer: The Company expects to continue its operations and to meet its business objectives as it is confident that it will be able to continue to raise funds as and when required. This expectation is based on past experience (as noted above) and because Audalia continues to have the support of its major shareholders and lenders to continue to advance the approvals for the Medcalf Project (refer to ASX announcements dated 30 June 2021 - Update on Loan Facilities, 20 January 2021 - Update on Loan Facilities, 28 September 2020, 16 June 2020 - Funding Update, 29 July 2019 – Update on Loan Facilities and 16 March 2018 – Update on Funding).
Note: where item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, all of questions 8.8.1, 8.8.2 and 8.8.3 above must be answered.
