KOPORE METALS LIMITED ABN 73 149 230 811 ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021

CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

I am pleased to present the Kopore Metals Ltd Annual Report for 2021.

As you know, our principal focus has been on developing the portfolio of exploration properties we hold in Botswana’s Kalahari Copper Belt. The Kalahari Copper Belt is one of the world’s most sought-after districts in the current search for major new copper deposits. While we have been hampered in progressing our work in the past year, due to COVID restrictions, we have been able to maintain our main licence areas in Botswana; and importantly to do this without having to raise new capital. We have been able to achieve this through keeping our costs low; and through the sale of one of our smaller non- core Botswana projects, being our “Virgo” project. The full terms of the Virgo sale are detailed in the Operations Review which follows this Letter, and ASX announcement dated 25 March 2021, but significant features are: substantial up front value from the sale; retention of a 25% interest in the project; and a further benefit to arise should a mine eventuate. The transaction is expected to complete shortly upon receipt of Botswana Ministerial approval.

During the year we also acquired an interest in a new project known as “Horseshoe West”. The project is located in W.A, around 150Km N. E. of Meekatharra, in the Bryah Basin region; and which we believe is highly prospective for copper/gold discovery. Our tenement area is located near to the historic “Horseshoe Lights” Gold Mine, which stopped producing in 1994. Before it was closed, the Horseshoe Mine was a prominent producer over many years of copper and gold. The terms of our Joint Venture enable us to carry out new exploration and to follow up existing targets in the vicinity of the old Horseshoe Mine, for limited expenditure commitment in the initial year; and depending on these results, decide whether to invest in further stage exploration.

We are undertaking this work now, in conjunction with planning our next programme of field work in Botswana.

As announced recently, we have welcomed to our board Caroline Keats as a new Non-executive Director. Caroline is a lawyer and is an experienced company director. In particular, she has worked extensively on resources projects in Africa.

I would like to thank our Managing Director Simon Jackson and my fellow Non- executive Director Grant Ferguson for their work during the year, along with our company secretaries and consultants.

Thank you also to our shareholders for your continued support.

Yours faithfully

OPERATIONS REVIEW 2021

Key activities and achievements for FY21 include:

SALE OF 75% OF SUBSIDIARY ALVIS-CREST, OWNER OF THE VIRGO PROJECT IN BOTSWANA, TO ARC MINERALS LIMITED

As announced on the ASX on 25 March 2021 the Company executed a binding term sheet with ARC Minerals Limited (AIM:ARCM) ( ARC ) to assist with ongoing exploration at the Company’s Virgo Project in the Republic of Botswana ( Transaction ).

Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction, the Company has agreed to sell 75% of the issued capital in its wholly owned subsidiary company, Alvis-Crest (Proprietary) Limited ( Alvis ) to ARC.

==> picture [9 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • ARC retains an option to acquire the remaining 25% of Alvis for consideration of US$5 million. The option is valid until a Final Investment Decision ( FID ) is reached by ARC and the option consideration is payable in cash or ARC Shares (or a combination of the two) at the election of ARC.

==> picture [9 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • ARC is responsible for sole funding Alvis up to FID, ensuring that Kopore’s remaining 25% interest in Alvis is not diluted in this period.

==> picture [9 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • ARC will spend an average of a minimum of US$200,000 per year on exploration drilling and resources definition on the Licenses over any rolling three-year period prior to FID.

==> picture [9 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • The agreement contains customary orderly sale provisions in respect of the ARC Shares the Company receives pursuant to the Transaction.

On 26 July 2021, subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the Company announced that it had satisfied key conditions precedent to the Transaction by entering a binding shareholders agreement and royalty deed with ARC. Closing of the transaction is expected to take place shortly following receipt of Ministerial approval in Botswana, which is now required to be obtained on or before 22 October 2021 (as per extensions agreed between the parties).

EARN IN TRANSACTION SIGNED FOR HORSESHOE WEST PROJECT IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA

As detailed in ASX announcement dated 28 January 2021, Kopore (WA) Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, executed a binding earn-in and joint venture agreement ( Agreement ) with Murchison Copper Mines Pty Ltd ( MCM ), a subsidiary of Horseshoe Metals Limited (ASX:HOR) ( HML ) providing for an earn in and joint venture in relation to tenements surrounding the historical Horseshoe Lights Copper-Gold Mine ( Horseshoe Lights Mine ) approximately 150km north of Meekatharra in Western Australia ( Horseshoe West Project ).

The Horseshoe Lights Mine was discovered in 1946 and saw commercial production up to 1994. Over this period, approximately 3.3 million tonnes of ore were mined, resulting in production of approximately 56,000t Cu (at an average grade of 1.7% Cu) and 307,000oz Au (at an average grade of 2.9g/t).[1]

The Agreement area is located approximately 75km west of Sandfire Resources’ Degrussa mine in the Bryah Basin region of Western Australia and relates to an area of 32.4km2 of largely unexplored land surrounding the Horseshoe Lights Mine ( Agreement Area ). The Agreement Area totals 32.4km2 and comprises 1 exploration licence, 9 prospecting licences and part of 1 mining lease (M52/743).

Excluded from the Agreement Area is part of M52/743 upon which, the historical open pit and existing copper resource is located as well as waste dumps and stockpiles tailings from the historical operation (Excluded Zone). The Excluded Zone will continue to be owned by HML. Kopore and MCM have entered into a binding Cooperation Deed which will (together with the Agreement) govern the interaction of their respective rights in relation to M52/743. Kopore is not responsible for any reclamation or rehabilitation costs related to the historical operation under the Agreement or the Cooperation Deed Agreement Terms

The material terms of the Agreement are:

==> picture [9 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Upfront Payment of $50,000 paid by Kopore;

==> picture [9 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Stage one: Earn in of $1.45 million expenditure to earn a 51% beneficial interest in the Agreement Area over a two-year period. Stage one includes a minimum expenditure amount of $250,000 to be spent in year 1. Kopore must expend this minimum expenditure amount before it is able to withdraw from the earn-in;

==> picture [9 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Joint Venture: Upon completion of the stage one earn-in, Kopore and MCM will form an unincorporated joint venture in relation to the exploration of the Agreement Area. The parties' initial respective interest in the Joint Venture will be Kopore

51% and MCM 49%;

==> picture [100 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

P a g e | 4

KOPORE METALS LIMITED ABN 73 149 230 811 ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021

==> picture [9 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Stage two: Kopore can elect to expend an additional $1.5 million within a further two years to earn into an additional 19% beneficial interest in the Agreement Area. If Kopore completes the stage 2 earn in, the parties' respective interest in the Joint Venture will be Kopore 70% and MCM 30%; and

==> picture [9 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Joint Venture expenditure: Following the earn-in, the parties must each contribute to Joint Venture expenses in proportion to their respective percentage interest in the Joint Venture or their interest will be diluted in accordance with a prescribed formula.

Work completed at the Agreement Area since signing of the Agreement includes:

==> picture [9 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

Completion of the initial Aboriginal Heritage Survey, as announced on the ASX on 29 July 2021;

==> picture [9 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

Completion of a geophysical review comprising analysis and reprocessing of historical geophysical surveys;

==> picture [9 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Completion of an Airborne Magnetic Survey which highlighted several priority targets, as announced on the ASX on 29 July 2021;

==> picture [9 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Auger program completed. The company drilled approximately 460 auger holes aiming to test for surface expression of potential gold, base metal or pathfinder anomalism. The results of this program are expected in early Q4.

KALAHARI BELT BOTSWANA

In addition to its 25% interest in Virgo Project, Kopore retains six wholly owned prospecting licences in Botswana comprising a total land holding of approximately 3,376km2.The Company is currently assessing the re-commencement of exploration activities in Botswana as that country removes a number of COVID-19 related restrictions.

Following receipt and integration of drilling results in late 2019, activities in the reporting period comprised scoping, planning and costing of work programs.

Kopore is currently planning an airborne EM and gravity survey over the Kara Prospect. It is anticipated that this survey will be undertaken in Q4.

The Kalahari Copper Belt which straddles the borders of Botswana and Namibia is a relatively underexplored and emerging world class copper province with total reported Mineral Resources of over 7Mt of contained Copper and 260Moz contained silver. The region has recently undergone an exploration transformation, with discoveries of copper-silver deposits making it an emerging world-class destination for new mines. With global copper supplies coming under pressure from industrial action, falling ore grades and a lack of new mine development, new discoveries across the Kalahari Copper Belt have made the region a global mining focus.

CORPORATE

On 5 August 2021, subsequent to the end of the reporting period, Caroline Keats joined the Board of Kopore as a non-executive Director.

Ms Keats is a focused business leader and corporate executive with 20 years of corporate and commercial experience.

10. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the year ended 30 June 2021.

11. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has been financially positive for the Group up to 30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

On 23 July 2021, the Company executed a binding shareholders agreement and royalty deed with ARC Minerals Limited (AIM: ARCM) (ARC). The entry into the agreements were key conditions precedent to the transaction announced on 25 March 2021 when the Company signed a binding term sheet agreed to sell 75% of the issued capital in its wholly owned subsidiary company Alvis-Crest (Proprietary) Limited to ARC.

Closing of the transaction is scheduled to take place shortly following receipt of Ministerial approval in Botswana, which is now required to be obtained on or before 22 October 2021 (as per extensions agreed between the parties and announced on 26 July 2021 and 21 September 2021) and is otherwise subject to the satisfaction of customary administrative conditions prior to closing. The process of obtaining Ministerial approval has been commenced and is expected to be completed shortly.

Upon closing ARC will issue the Company £1.2 million in ARC shares (based on 10 days VWAP of ARC shares prior to closing) in consideration for 75% shareholding interest in Alvis-Crest (Proprietary) Limited. Alvis-Crest (Proprietary) Limited currently holds the two licences, PL135/2017 and PL162/2017 which comprise the Virgo Project in Botswana.

On 6 August 2021, the Company announced the appointment of Ms Caroline Keats to its Board of Directors, as a Non-Executive Director, effective immediately.

There were no other events which occurred subsequent to the reporting date that are not covered in this Directors’ Report or within the financial statements at Note 14.

12. LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS

Likely future developments in the operations of the Group are referred to in the Operations Review on page 4 of this Annual Report.

13. DIRECTORS’ SHAREHOLDINGS, CONTRACTS AND BENEFITS

Since the end of the previous financial year no Director of the Company has received, or become entitled to receive a benefit (other than a benefit included in the aggregate amount of emoluments received or due and receivable by Directors shown in the accounts) by reason of a contract made by the Company with the Director or with a firm of which the Director is a member, or a Company in which the Director has a substantial financial interest, other than as disclosed in the remuneration report below.

KOPORE METALS LIMITED ABN 73 149 230 811 ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021

DIRECTORS' REPORT

14. REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

The full Board currently fulfils the role of a Remuneration Committee in line with a Remuneration Committee Charter and in accordance with the Company’s adopted remuneration policy.

14.1. Remuneration Policy

This policy governs the operations of the Remuneration Committee. The Committee shall review and reassess the policy at least annually and obtain the approval of the Board.

a. Executive Remuneration

The Company’s remuneration policy for Executive Directors and senior management is designed to promote superior performance and long-term commitment to the Company. Executive Directors receive a base remuneration which is market related, and may be entitled to performance-based remuneration at the ultimate discretion of the Board.

Overall remuneration policies are subject to the discretion of the Board and can be changed to reflect competitive market and business conditions where it is in the interests of the Company and shareholders to do so.

Executive Directors’ remuneration and other terms of employment are reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee having regard to performance, relevant comparative information and expert advice.

The Committee’s reward policy reflects its obligation to align Executive Directors’ remuneration with shareholders’ interests and to retain appropriately qualified executive talent for the benefit of the Company. The main principles of the policy are:

  • (i) reward reflects the competitive market in which the Company operates;

  • (ii) individual reward should be linked to performance criteria; and

  • (iii) Executive Directors should be rewarded for both financial and non-financial performance.

The total remuneration of executives and other senior managers consists of the following:

  • (i) salary - Executive Directors and senior managers receive a sum payable monthly in cash;

  • (ii) bonus - Executive Directors and nominated senior managers are eligible to participate in a bonus or profit participation plan if deemed appropriate;

  • (iii) long term incentives - Executive Directors may participate in share option schemes with the prior approval of shareholders. Executives may also participate in employee share option schemes, with any option issues generally being made in accordance with thresholds set in plans approved by shareholders. The Board however, considers it appropriate to retain the flexibility to issue options to executives outside of approved employee option plans in exceptional circumstances; and

  • (iv) other benefits - Executive Directors and senior managers are eligible to participate in superannuation schemes and other appropriate additional benefits.

Remuneration of other executives consists of the following:

  • (i) salary - senior executives receive a sum payable monthly in cash;

  • (ii) bonus - each executive is eligible to participate in a bonus or profit participation plan if deemed appropriate;

  • (iii) long term incentives - each senior executive may, where appropriate, participate in share option schemes which have been approved by shareholders; and

  • (iv) other benefits – senior executives are eligible to participate in superannuation schemes and other appropriate additional benefits.

b. Non-Executive Remuneration

Shareholders approve the maximum aggregate remuneration for Non-Executive Directors. The full Board recommends the actual payments to Directors and the Board is responsible for ratifying any recommendations, if appropriate. The maximum aggregate remuneration approved for Non-Executive Directors is currently $300,000.

It is recognised that Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration is ideally structured to exclude equity-based remuneration. However, whilst the Company remains small and the full Board, including the Non-Executive Directors, are included in the operations of the Company more closely than may be the case with larger companies, the Non-Executive Directors are entitled to participate in equity-based remuneration schemes subject to shareholder approval.

All Directors are entitled to have their indemnity insurance paid by the Company.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

In preparing the 2021 financial statements, Kopore Metals Limited has grouped notes into sections under five key categories:

Section A: How the numbers are calculated ......................................................................................................................... 23 Section B: Risk ...................................................................................................................................................................... 35 Section C: Group structure ................................................................................................................................................... 39 Section D: Unrecognised items ............................................................................................................................................. 43 Section E: Other Information ................................................................................................................................................ 44

Significant accounting policies specific to each note are included within that note. Accounting policies that are determined to be non-significant are not included in the financial statements.

The presentation of the notes to the financial statements is supported by the IASB’s Disclosure Initiative. As part of this project, the AASB made amendments to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements which have provided preparers with more flexibility in presenting the information in their financial reports.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, except where otherwise stated.

  • a. Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave is expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

  • b. Retirement benefit obligations: Defined contribution superannuation funds

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions onto a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution superannuation funds are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred.

  • c. Long service leave

Any liability for employee benefits relating to long service leave represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the employer resulting from employees' services provided up to the reporting date.

NOTE 2 LOSS BEFORE INCOME TAX (CONT.)

d. Equity-settled compensation

The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes pricing model, considering the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognised is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest except where forfeiture is only due to market conditions not being met.

NOTE 3 OTHER SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES RELATED TO ITEMS OF PROFIT AND LOSS

3.1 Finance income and expenses

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested (including available-for-sale financial assets), gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets and changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that considers the effective yield on the financial asset.

Financial expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings calculated using the effective interest method, unwinding of discounts on provisions, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and impairment losses recognised on financial assets. All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method

Net deferred tax assets have not been brought to account as it is not probable within the immediate future that tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised.

The Group has tax losses of $11,505,896 (2020: $9,575,265) that have the ability to be carried forward indefinitely for offset against future taxable profits of the Group. The recoupment of available tax losses as at 30 June 2021 are contingent upon the Group satisfying the following conditions:

==> picture [8 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • deriving future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the losses to be realised;

==> picture [8 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation continuing to be complied with and the company meeting either its continuity of ownership test or in the absence of satisfying that test the company can satisfy the same business test; and

==> picture [8 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

there being no changes in tax legislation which would adversely affect the Group from realising the benefits from the losses.

In the event that the Group fails to satisfy these conditions above or the Commissioner of Taxation challenges the Group’s ability to utilise its losses, the Group may be liable for future income tax on assessable income derived by the Company.

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, are based on the best estimates of Directors. These estimates consider both the financial performance and position of the Company as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the Directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that Directors' best estimate, pending an assessment by tax authorities in relevant jurisdictions.

4.4 Accounting Policy The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

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

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

5.2.2 The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivables and payables and loans to subsidiaries. Risk exposure arising from current receivables is set out in Note 8.

Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying amount is assumed to approximate their fair value.

5.2.3 The Group did not recognise any losses in profit or loss in respect of the expected credit losses for the year ended 30 June 2021.

5.2.4 Accounting Policy

Other receivables are generally due for settlement within periods ranging from 15 days to 30 days. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.

Other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Allowance for expected credit losses of receivables is continually reviewed and those that are considered to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms. Factors considered by the Group in making this determination include known significant financial difficulties of the debtor, review of financial information and significant delinquency in making contractual payments to the Group. The allowance is set equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the receivable and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Where receivables are short-term discounting is not applied in determining the allowance.

The amount of the allowance for expected credit losses is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income within other expenses. When an other receivable for which an 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.

Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled on 30-day terms.
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided
to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make
future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade creditors and other payables are presented
as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months.
Trade and other payables are classified as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method.
5.5
Other Significant Accounting Policies related to Financial Assets and Liabilities
5.5.1
Investments and other financial assets
a. Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss), and
those to be measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of
the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in
equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election
at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income
(FVOCI).
The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
b. Recognition and derecognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits
to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial
assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership.
c. 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 (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows
are solely payment of principal and interest.

5.5 Other Significant Accounting Policies related to Financial Assets and Liabilities (cont.)

i. Debt instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Group classifies its debt instruments:

==> picture [8 x 7] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [8 x 7] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [8 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Amortised cost : Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.

  • FVOCI : Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses) and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.

  • FVPL : Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises.

ii. Equity instruments

The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.

  • Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other gains/(losses) in the statement of profit or loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

d. Impairment The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Furniture, fittings and equipment
5 years
Motor vehicles

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is
greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
d. Derecognition and disposal
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in
the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

  • 6.2.2 Recoverability of the carrying amount of exploration assets is dependent on the successful exploration of the areas of interest.

6.2.3 Key Estimate – Impairment

The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets and in particular exploration assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined and is dependent upon the ability of the Group to successfully continue exploration of all areas of interest and satisfy the requirements under AASB 6. Specifically, the Company has reviewed its exploration tenements with regard to AASB 6 and have determined that: the period for which the Group has the right to explore in the exploration tenements has not expired during the period or will not expire in the near future, and is expected to be renewed; substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the exploration tenements is planned; exploration will be ongoing for some time and as such it is far too early to state that a discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources has not occurred; and as the exploration is still ongoing, there is no sufficient data to conclude that the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered.

6.2.4 Key Judgments – Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current. These costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at reporting date reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves, refer to the accounting policy stated below. The carrying value of capitalised expenditure at reporting date is $Nil (2020: $66,427). During the financial year, the Group undertook assessment of its tenement assets. As a result of this assessment, the Group decided that no impairment of its exploration assets was necessary.

6.2.5 Accounting Policy

  • a. Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation project acquisition costs 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. Ongoing exploration and evaluation expenditures are expensed as incurred. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss 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. b. Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively sale, of the respective area of interest.

6.3 Other Significant Accounting Policies related to Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

6.3.1 Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets are reviewed 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 inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

SECTION B. RISK

This section of the notes discusses the Group’s exposure to various risks and shows how these could affect the Group’s financial position and performance.

NOTE 8 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

8.1 Financial Risk Management Policies

The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, short-term investments, and accounts receivables and payables, loans to subsidiaries. The Group does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments. Risk management has focused on limiting liabilities to a level which could be extinguished by sale of assets if necessary. The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; market risk (including fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate 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 is engaged in mineral exploration and evaluation, and does not currently sell product and derives only limited revenue from interest earned.

Risk management is carried out by the Board as a whole and no formal risk management policy has been adopted but is in the process of development.

8.2 Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management

8.2.1 Market risk

a. Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commitments, assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency of the Group being Botswana Pula. Currently there are no foreign exchange programs in place. The Group treasury function manages the purchase of foreign currency to meet operational requirements. The impact of reasonably possible changes in foreign exchange rates for the Group has the potential to be material. The Group monitors this risk on a regular basis.

  • b. Price risk

The Group is not exposed to securities price risk on investments held for trading or for medium to longer term as no such investments are currently held.

8.2.2 Credit risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at reporting date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables.

The Group applies simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all receivables and contract assets.

Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the Directors in accordance with approved Company policy.

NOTE 8 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT.)

8.2 Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management (cont.)

8.2.3 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The objective of the Group is to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet commitments under normal and stressed conditions.

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Due to the lack of material revenue, the Group aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by maintaining adequate reserves of liquidity.

The Group did not have access to any undrawn borrowing facilities at the reporting date.

All liabilities are current and will be repaid in normal trading terms.

a. Contractual Maturities

The following are the contractual maturities of financial assets and liabilities of the Group:

It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly later or at significantly different amounts.

8.2.4 Cash flow and interest rate risk

From time to time the Group has significant interest-bearing assets, but they are as a result of the timing of equity raising and capital expenditure rather than a reliance on interest income. The interest rate risk arises on the rise and fall of interest rates. The Group’s income and operating cash flows are not expected to be materially exposed to changes in market interest rates in the future and the exposure to interest rates is limited to the cash and cash equivalents balances. As such, this is not considered a material exposure and no sensitivity analysis has been prepared.

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities, is below.

The net fair value of cash and cash equivalents and non-interest bearing monetary assets and financial liabilities approximates their carrying values.

a. Fair value hierarchy

AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement: Disclosures requires disclosure of the fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

==> picture [8 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

==> picture [8 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

==> picture [8 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

All financial assets are classified as Level 1 and their value has been calculated in line with accounting policy note 22.8 Fair Value.

NOTE 9 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that they may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The capital structure of the Group consists of equity attributable to equity holders of the parent comprising issued capital, reserves and accumulative losses.

Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Group to meet exploration programs and corporate overheads. The Group’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.

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

The working capital position of the Group at 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020 is as follows:

The working capital position of the Group at 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020 is as follows:

The commitments of the Group above are the same as those for Kopore Metals Limited.

The Group has halted all exploration activities in Botswana due to significant lock down protocols as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As at the date of this report, the Company is assessing the re-commencement of exploration activities in Botswana as that country removes a number of COVID-19 related restrictions.

NOTE 13 CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

13.1 Virgo Licence Acquisition

In accordance with the agreement between Kopore Metals Limited, Alvis Crest (Proprietary) Limited and Virgo Business Solutions CO ( Virgo ).

==> picture [8 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • To issue fully paid shares in the Company to Virgo with a deemed value of A$650,000 (with the deemed issue price being the higher of $0.04 or the 30-day VWAP of the shares at the date of the Announcement, as defined below upon satisfaction of the following performance-based milestones:

  • (i) First announcement by the Company of a JORC Code 2012 Compliant Measured or Indicated Mineral Resource, on any of the licences, of greater than 1 million tonnes of contained copper at a grade of greater than 1.2%.

13.2 Contingent liabilities

  • The Directors are not aware of any other contingent liabilities that may have arisen from the Groups operations as at 30 June 2021.

NOTE 14 EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has been financially positive for the Group up to 30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

On 23 July 2021, the Company has executed a binding shareholders agreement and royalty deed with ARC Minerals Limited (AIM: ARCM) (ARC). The entry into the agreements were key conditions precedent to the transaction announced on 25 March 2021 when the Company signed a binding term sheet agreed to sell 75% of the issued capital in its wholly owned subsidiary company Alvis-Crest (Proprietary) Limited to ARC.

Closing of the transaction is expected to take place shortly following receipt of Ministerial approval in Botswana, which is now required to be obtained on or before 22 October 2021 (as per extensions agreed between the parties) and is otherwise subject to the satisfaction of customary administrative conditions prior to closing. The process of obtaining Ministerial approval has been commenced and is anticipated to be completed shortly.

Upon closing ARC will issue the Company £1.2 million in ARC shares (based on 10 days VWAP of ARC shares prior to closing) in consideration for 75% shareholding interest in Alvis-Crest (Proprietary) Limited. Alvis-Crest (Proprietary) Limited currently holds the two licences, PL135/2017 and PL162/2017 which comprise the Virgo Project in Botswana.

On 6 August 2021, the Company announced the appointment of Ms Caroline Keats to its Board of Directors, as a Non-Executive Director, effective immediately.

There were no other significant events after the end of the reporting year.

The Group does not report diluted earnings per share where options would not result in the issue of ordinary shares for less
than the average market price during the period (out of the money). In addition, the Group does not report diluted earnings per
share on annual losses generated by the Group. At the end of the 2021 financial year, the Group had no unissued shares under
options that were out of the money which are anti-dilutive (2020: Nil).

18.6.1 Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders 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 year.
18.6.2 Diluted earnings per share
Potential shares as a result of options outstanding at the end of the year are not dilutive and therefore have not been
included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Note 19 Share-based payments (cont.)

19.2 Fair value of options grants during the year

The fair value of the options granted during the year ended 30 June 2021 were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, applying the following inputs to options issued:

Note: 19.1.1c
Grant date: 4/06/2021
Grant date share price: $0.029
Option exercise price: $0.020
Number of options issued: 25,000,000
Term (years): 3.7
Expected share price volatility: 100%
Risk-free interest rate: 0.74%
Value per option $0.0211

The expected life of the option is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcomes.

19.2.1 Accounting Policy

The Group provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using a Black-Scholes model.

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Kopore (market conditions) if applicable.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each balance date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

NOTE 20 SEGMENT REPORTING

20.1 Identification of reportable segments

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

The Group is managed primarily on the basis of business category and geographical areas. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics. The Group considers that it has only operated in one segment, being the exploration business.

20.2 Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments

20.2.1 Accounting policies adopted

The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments are in accordance with the measurement principles of Australian Accounting Standards.

20.2.2 Inter-segment transactions

All such transactions are eliminated on consolidation of the Group's financial statements.

Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to be received net of transaction costs. If inter-segment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. This policy represents a departure from that applied to the statutory financial statements.

20.2.3 Segment assets

During the year ended 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020, all assets were in the same business segment, which is the Group’s exploration business.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

NOTE 22 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements to the extent they have not already been disclosed in the other notes above. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

22.1 Basis of preparation

22.1.1 Reporting Entity Kopore Metals Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The Company’s registered office is at Suite 5, 62 Ord Street, West Perth, Western Australia. These are the consolidated financial statements and notes of Kopore Metals Limited (the Company) and controlled entities (collectively the Group). The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Group. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity. The Group is a for-profit entity and is primarily involved in the exploration, development and mining of minerals. The separate financial statements of Kopore Metals Limited, as the parent entity, have not been presented with this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

22.1.2 Basis of accounting These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AAS Board) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) set out accounting policies that the AAS Board has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with AASBs ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The financial statements were authorised for issue on 21 September 2021 by the Directors of the Company. 22.1.3 Going Concern The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis that contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As disclosed in the financial statements, the Group incurred a loss for the year of $1,243,075 ( 2020: $3,241 profit) and a net cash out-flow from operating activities of $1,114,491 (2020: $2,071,088 out-flow). The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is primarily dependent on the completion of the sale of 75% of the issued capital in Alvis Crest, or sourcing of funds through other corporate means or equity raises. These factors indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt as to whether the Group will continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern, after consideration of the following factors: the Group has the ability to curtail its exploration activities in order to conserve cash; and the Group will receive £1.2 million in ARC shares in consideration for the sales of 75% of the issued capital of Alvis; and the Group has the ability to raise further funds through capital raisings as and when required as it has successfully done in the past. Accordingly, the Directors believe that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the Group does not continue as a going concern. 22.1.4 Comparative Figures Where required by AASBs comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. Where the Group retrospectively applies an accounting policy, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, an additional (third) statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period in addition to the minimum comparative financial statements is presented.

Note Note 22
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)
22.2 Principles of Consolidation
As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial
statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered (left) the Group during
the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased).
22.2.1 Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of the parent, Kopore Metals Limited,
and all of the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to,
or has right to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its
power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 10.
The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the
date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control
ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between group entities are fully
eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary
to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as non-controlling interests.
The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled
to a proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests'
proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed
their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown
separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income.
22.3 Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that
represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to
dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The
results of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income.
22.4 Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is the generic term for the broad-based consumption taxes that the Group is exposed to
such as: Australia (Goods and Services Tax or GST) and in Botswana and Namibia (Value-added tax or VAT), hereafter
collectively referred to as GST.
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not
recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as
part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the consolidated
statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities
which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flow.
22.5 Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Kopore Metals Limited's functional and presentation
currency.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

Note 22 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

22.5.1 Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

22.5.2 Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity. The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

22.6 Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

22.7 Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. Judgements made by management in the application of AASBs that have significant effect on the consolidated financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in 22.7.1.

22.7.1 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Judgements, estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes assumptions concerning the future. All judgements, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on the most current set of circumstances available to management. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts and assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed further at Note 6.2.3. 22.7.2 Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Group operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Note Note 22
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
22.8 Fair Value
22.8.1 Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending
on the requirements of the applicable AASB.
Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly
unforced transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date.
As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to
determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset
or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or
more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market
data.
To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (i.e. the
market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the
most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (i.e. the market that maximises the
receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account
transaction costs and transport costs).
For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also considers a market participant's ability to use the asset in its
highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The fair value of liabilities and the entity's own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment
arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial
instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this
information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective
note to the financial statements.
22.8.2 Fair value hierarchy
AASB 13_Fair Value Measurement_requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy,
which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that
is significant to the measurement can be categorised intoasfollows:
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Measurements based on quoted prices
Measurements based on inputs other than
Measurements based on unobservable
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical
quoted prices included in Level 1 that are
inputs for the asset or liability.
assets or liabilities that the entity can
observable for the asset or liability, either
access at the measurement date.
directly or indirectly.
The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation
techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all
significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more
significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3.
The Group would change the categorisation within the fair value hierarchy only in the following circumstances:
if a market that was previously considered active (Level 1) became inactive (Level 2 or Level 3) or vice versa; or
if significant inputs that were previously unobservable (Level 3) became observable (Level 2) or vice versa.
When a change in the categorisation occurs, the Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy
(i.e. transfers into and out of each level of the fair value hierarchy) on the date the event or change in circumstances
occurred.

Note Note 22
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)
22.8 Fair Value (cont.)
22.8.2 Fair value hierarchy(cont.)
iii. Valuation techniques
The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available
to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of
the asset or liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the Group are consistent with one or more of
the following valuation approaches:
_Market approach:_valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions
for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
_Income approach:_valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single
discounted present value.
_Cost approach:_valuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity.
Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when pricing the
asset or liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique, the Group gives priority to
those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that
are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and reflect the
assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable,
whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are developed using the best information available
about such assumptions are considered unobservable.
22.9 Accounting Standards that are mandatorily effective for the current reporting period
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting
Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current reporting period.
New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current period that are
relevant to the Group include:
AASB 2018-6_Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of a Business_
AASB 2018-7_Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material_
AASB 2019-1_Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – References to the Conceptual Framework_
AASB 2019-3_Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform_
AASB 2019-5_Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of the Effect of New IFRS Standards Not Yet_
Issued in Australia
AASB 2020-4_Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions_
22.10 New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2021
reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. These standards are not expected to have a material
impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
