During the year the Company’s exploration efforts were focused on the key projects outlined below:
Exploration Activities
Oil & Gas
Ocean Hill (STP EPA 0090, formerly designated Bid Area L12-7)
In April 2013 the company announced its notification by the WA Department of Mines and Petroleum as the preferred applicant for the Ocean Hill block covering approximately 300 km[2] in the highly prospective North Perth Basin. The area will be converted to an Exploration Permit once Native Title negotiations have been concluded.
The area contains a large faulted four-way dip closure that was tested by Ocean Hill-1 in 1991. The well reached a total depth of 3840m in the Jurassic Cattamarra Coal Measures before being suspended as an uneconomic gas discovery. Good gas shows were encountered in the Jurassic Cadda Formation and Cattamarra Coal Measures over the entire interval of over 800m from about 3000m to total depth, and analysis of the electric logs indicated over 100m of net gas pay within multiple sands through the zone. An open hole drill stem test flowed gas rate of 0.7MMscf/d from the interval 3,063-3130mKB in the Cadda Formation with associated liquids of 15-23 bbl/MMcf.
The Dampier to Bunbury Pipeline runs directly through the Ocean Hill block and a compressor station is located 6.5 km from the Ocean Hill-1 location, providing excellent infrastructure access and a substantial benefit for the project economics. The Ocean Hill discovery is similar geologically to the Gingin gas field and Red Gully Gas Project, where Empire Oil & Gas commenced production in late 2013.
On 4 October 2013 Green Rock Energy announced the completion of an independent evaluation by DeGolyer and MacNaughton of Contingent and selected Prospective Resources in the Ocean Hill Block. The 2C Contingent Gas Resource is evaluated to be 360Bcf.
During the year substantial progress was made in Native Title and Heritage negotiations and in discussions with potential farmin partners. Planning is underway for a 250km[2] 3D seismic survey.
Backreef Area, Canning Basin
On 29 July 2013 the completion of the transaction for the acquisition by Oil Basins Limited of 100% of the equity of Green Rock’s wholly owned subsidiary Green Rock Canning Basin Pty Ltd, formerly called OBL Backreef No.5 Pty Ltd, holding a 20% beneficial interest in the Back Reef Area, Canning Basin. Oil Basins in consideration provided Green Rock with 25 million Oil Basins Limited ordinary shares (ASX Code OBL) escrowed for 3 months and nominal adjustments to existing and future cash calls resulting in a final payment of approximately $39,000 to OBL. Green Rock sold these shares during the year for net proceeds of $464,144.
Coolcalalaya SPA 33, Carnarvon Basin
On 19 August 2013 Green Rock gave notice that it had withdrawn from its agreement with Palatine Energy Pty Ltd (“Palatine”) over SPA 33 to acquire a 50% interest. The terms of the agreement with Palatine are such that in exchange for Palatine releasing Green Rock from its work programme commitments including Green Rock’s funding of 100% of the geophysical survey over SPA 33 (now granted to Palatine Energy Pty ltd as SPA 9 AO) Palatine received 30 million GRK ordinary shares. 15 million of these shares were subject to a 3-month voluntary escrow.
Geothermal
Mid West Geothermal Power Project (MWGP), North Perth Basin – Western Australia (100% interest)
The Company’s Permit areas in the northern Perth Basin (GEP 23 – 28 and 41) are located in the Mid West region near oil and gas producing areas, infrastructure and power lines and cover what the Company believes to be the most economically prospective hot sedimentary aquifers for electricity production in the Perth Basin, and in locations which could be commercialised quickly.
In June 2012 Mid West Geothermal Power Pty Ltd (“MWGP” – a subsidiary of Green Rock), was awarded $5.4 million on a 1- for-3 basis from the WA Government’s Low Emissions Energy Development (“LEED”) Fund towards the demonstration of commercial production of geothermal energy as the first stage of the Mid West Geothermal Power Project (the “Project”). This success strengthened the company’s case to the Commonwealth’s Emerging Renewables Program (ERP), which puts a strong emphasis on State support.
In March 2013 Green Rock announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between AWE Australia Ltd (a subsidiary of listed oil and gas exploration company AWE Limited (ASX: AWE) and MWGP with the intention of forming a joint venture (“JV”) to pursue the Project. The primary focus of the JV was to secure funding for the Project from the Commonwealth’s Emerging Renewables Program (“ERP”).
2014 AnnuAl finAnciAl report
Green rock enerGy Limited
directors’ report
05
Substantial progress was made during the year to secure ERP funding with the target of drilling the first well in late 2014 or early 2015. However on 16 April 2014 Green Rock received written notification of AWE’s withdrawal from the Project.
Green Rock and AWE had worked closely to identify geothermal well locations that would also provide AWE with the opportunity at its sole expense to collect data while drilling the geothermal wells in order to assess the hydrocarbon potential of formations above or adjacent to the geothermal target zones.
AWE decided not to progress at the first selected location because it could be within or adjacent to a Public Drinking Water Resource Area. The advice received by Green Rock from relevant authorities was that a geothermal well within such an area was likely to be acceptable, particularly as no hydraulic fracturing would be involved and also the well would be cased off through the potable water aquifers as is normal well drilling practice and a requirement of the regulators.
Following AWE’s decision on the first location, the parties focused on a second location which was considered to be an excellent geothermal prospect given that a petroleum exploration well in the area had flowed water from natural fractures at close to the Project’s target temperature. However, AWE then decided that the second area does not provide the hydrocarbon value it requires to continue with the Project.
Green Rock had been close to finalising terms and conditions with both the WA and Commonwealth Governments – the LEED and Emerging Renewables Funds respectively – for them jointly to provide a substantial majority of the funds to drill and test two geothermal wells. Green Rock reviewed the situation with the other parties involved - including the Project’s power generation partner Pacific Hydro - but concluded that it would not be possible to secure an alternative funding and drilling partner to AWE in the time available.
Following the withdrawal of AWE from the Mid West Geothermal Project and with the ability to attract another joint venture partner into the project, the company agreed to impair the total balance of the Mid West Geothermal project and commenced the process to relinquish the Mid West Geothermal permits with the WA Department of Mines and Petroleum.
Hungary (35% interest, MOL 65% interest)
Hungary is considered to have the best geological potential for geothermal energy resources at reasonable depths in Europe outside of the volcanic area. Geothermal energy is expected to be a major contributor to Hungary meeting its renewable energy target of 13% by 2020 given that its wind, solar and hydro resources are limited.
On 12 March 2014 Green Rock announced that its 46% owned subsidiary in Hungary CEGE (MOL 54%) had won the geothermal concession tender in the Jászberény area in eastern central Hungary which includes the well now owned by CEGE which was successfully evaluated for its geothermal potential in October 2010.
The Jászberény geothermal concession covers an area of 396 km[2] and includes several areas previously drilled by MOL looking for petroleum. It is approximately 80 km east of Budapest and has high voltage electricity transmission and low voltage distribution lines running through the concession area which are critical for rapid commercialisation.
The concession is for a period of 35 years covering geothermal exploration and production from depths greater than 2500m. Drilling to such depths is necessary to produce geothermal fluids hot enough for efficient generation of electricity. Green Rock have withdrawn from participating in the Joint Venture contributions and as a result, its position in the Hungary Geothermal project is being diluted. Green Rock’s joint venture partner (“MOL”) is the sole contributor to project costs.
On 30 June 2014 CEGE concluded negotiations with the Government on the Jászberény geothermal concession and has agreed acceptable concession terms and conditions and therefore MOL and Green Rock will progress the project, commencing with planning for the second well. The parties have agreed that MOL will carry Green Rock through the remainder of the 2014 work program with Green Rock’s interest reducing to 35.3% with effect from 1 July 2014. This will provide time for Green Rock to seek to raise equity in Europe into its share of the geothermal project company
South Australia Geothermal
During the year Green Rock applied to have all its Geothermal Exploration Licences relinquished.
Activities subsequent to end of financial year
On 10 July 2014 and 22 August 2014, the Company announced to the ASX that it had entered into agreements to acquire 4 Graphite projects in Tanzania. As part of these agreements, the company has agreed to minimum exploration expenditure commitments totaling $1m to be acquitted over the 1[st] 12 months post settlement of option agreements. The option agreements are subject to the satisfaction of various conditions precedent, including, Green Rock obtaining all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals under the ASX Listing Rules, Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) or any other law to allow completion of the transactions.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
This remuneration report, which forms part of the Directors’ Report, sets out information about the remuneration of Green Rock Energy Limited’s key management personnel for the financial year ended 30 June 2014. Disclosures required under AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures have been transferred from the financial report and have been audited.
Recommendation 8.1 of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations states that the Board should establish a Remuneration Committee. The Board has formed the view that given the number of Directors on the Board, this function could be performed just as effectively with full Board participation. Accordingly, it was resolved that there would be no separate Board sub-committee for remuneration purposes and that a remuneration consultant would not be used.
This report details the amount and nature of remuneration of each Director of the Company and executive officers of the Company during the year.
The remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2013 was adopted by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 27 November 2013. No specific comments were made regarding the remuneration report at the meeting.
Remuneration policy for directors and executives
The Board of Directors is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for directors and the executive team. The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature of the amount of remuneration of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and Executive team and that each staff member’s remuneration package properly reflects that person’s duties and responsibilities.
The Board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentive bonuses and options.

The total value of options granted, exercised and lapsed during the year is calculated based on the following:
-
Fair value of the option at grant date multiplied by the number of options granted during the year:
-
• Fair value of the option at the time of exercise multiplied by the number of options exercised during the year: • Fair value of the option at the time of lapse multiplied by the number of options lapsed or cancelled during the year
-
The total value of options included in remuneration for the year is calculated in accordance with AASB 2 Share Based Payments which requires the following:
-
The value of options is determined at grant date and is included in remuneration on a proportionate basis from grant date to vesting date. Where options immediately vest, the full value of the option is recognised in remuneration in the current year.
-
There are no further service or performance criteria that need to be met in relation to options granted.
The Board as a whole periodically assesses its current levels of remuneration relative to company performance, future projections/prospects and funding. The Board adjusts remuneration as necessary taking account of its projections and the constraints by which it is bound.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COMPANY PERFORMANCE AND REMUNERATION POLICY
Remunerations levels are not dependent upon any performance criteria as the nature of the consolidated entity’s operations is exploration and they are not generating profit.

1 APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In the current year, the Group has applied a number of new and revised AASBs issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are mandatorily effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 July 2013.
AASB 2011-4 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosures’
This standard removes the individual key management personnel to Australian Accounting disclosure requirements in AASB 124 ‘Related Party Disclosures’. As a result the Group only discloses the key management personnel compensation in total and for each of the categories required in AASB 124.
In the current year the individual key management personnel disclosure previously required by AASB 124 is now disclosed in the remuneration report due to an amendment to Corporations Regulations 2001 issued in June 2013.
AASB 2012-2 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities’
The Group has applied the amendments to AASB 7 ‘Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities’ for the first time in the current year. The amendments to AASB 7 require entities to disclose information about rights of offset and related arrangements (such as collateral posting requirements) for financial instruments under an enforceable master netting agreement or similar arrangement.
The amendments have been applied retrospectively. As the Group does not have any offsetting arrangements in place, the application of the amendments does not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
AASB 2012-5 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle’
The Annual Improvements to AASBs 2009 - 2011 have made to a number of amendments to AASBs. The amendments that are relevant to the Group are the amendments to AASB 101 regarding when a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period (third statement of financial position) and the related notes are required to be presented. The amendments specify that a third statement of financial position is required when a) an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement or reclassification of items in its financial statements, and b) the retrospective application, restatement or reclassification has a material effect on the information in the third statement of financial position. The amendments specify that related notes are not required to accompany the third statement of financial position.
AASB 2012-9 ‘Amendment to AASB 1048 arising from the Withdrawal of Australian Interpretation 1039’
This standard makes amendment to AASB 1048 ‘Interpretation of Standards’ following the withdrawal of Australian Interpretation 1039 ‘Substantive Enactment of Major Tax Bills in Australia’. The Interpretation 1039’ adoption of this amending standard does not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
AASB CF 2013-1 ‘Amendments to the Australian Conceptual Framework’ and AASB 2013-9 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Conceptual Framework, Materiality and Financial Instruments’ (Part A Conceptual Framework)
This amendment has incorporated IASB’s Chapters 1 and 3 Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting as an Appendix to the Australian Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements. The amendment also included not-forprofit specific paragraphs to help clarify the concepts from the perspective of not-for-profit entities in the private and public sectors.
As a result the Australian Conceptual Framework now supersedes the objective and the qualitative characteristics of financial statements, as well as the guidance previously available in Statement of Accounting Concepts SAC 2 ‘Objective of General Purpose Financial Reporting’. The adoption of this amending standard does not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

1 APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (continued)
New and revised Standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures
In August 2011, a package of five standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures was issued comprising AASB 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’, AASB 11 ‘Joint Arrangements’, AASB 12 ‘Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities’, AASB 127 (as revised in 2011) ‘Separate Financial Statements’ and AASB 128 (as revised in 2011) ‘Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures’. Subsequent to the issue of these standards, amendments to AASB 10, AASB 11 and AASB 12 were issued to clarify certain transitional guidance on the first-time application of the standards.
In the current year, the Group has applied for the first time AASB 10, AASB 11, AASB 12 and AASB 128 (as revised in 2011) together with the amendments to AASB 10, AASB 11 and AASB 12 regarding the transitional guidance. AASB 127 (as revised in 2011) is not applicable to the Group as it deals only with separate financial statements.
The impact of the application of these standards is set out below.
AASB 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’ and AASB 2011-7 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards’
AASB 10 replaces the parts of AASB 127 ‘Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements’ that deal with consolidated financial statements and Interpretation 112 ‘Consolidation –Special Purpose Entities’. AASB 10 changes the definition of control such that an investor controls an investee when a) it has power over an investee, b) it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and c) has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. All three of these criteria must be met for an investor to have control over an investee. Previously, control was defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Additional guidance has been included in AASB 10 to explain when an investor has control over an investee. Some guidance included in AASB 10 that deals with whether or not an investor that owns less than 50 per cent of the voting rights in an investee has control over the investee is relevant to the Group.
Specifically, the Group's 46 per cent ownership interest in Central European Geothermal Energy Private Company Limited (“CEGE”), which was incorporated in Hungary. The Group’s 46 per cent ownership interest in CEGE gives the Group the same percentage of the voting rights in CEGE. The Group’s 46 per cent ownership interest in CEGE reduced by 1% during the year. A sole shareholder holds the remaining 54 per cent of the ordinary shares of CEGE.
The directors of the Company made an assessment as the date of the initial application of AASB 10 (i.e. 1 July 2013) as to whether or not the Group has control over CEGE in accordance with the new definition of control and the related guidance set out in AASB 10. The directors concluded that it does not have control over CEGE on the basis of the Group’s absolute size of holding in CEGE and the relative size of and other shareholding owned by the sole shareholder. Therefore, CEGE continues to be treated as an associate of the Group and accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
AASB 11 ‘Joint Arrangements’ and AASB 2011-7 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards’
AASB 11 replaces AASB 131 ‘Interests in Joint Ventures’, and the guidance contained in a related interpretation, Interpretation 113 ‘Jointly Controlled Entities – Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers’, has been incorporated in AASB 128 (as revised in 2011). AASB 11 deals with how a joint arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control should be classified and accounted for. Under AASB 11, there are only two types of joint arrangements – joint operations and joint ventures. The classification of joint arrangements under AASB 11 is determined based on the rights and obligations of parties to the joint arrangements by considering the structure, the legal form of the arrangements, the contractual terms agreed by the parties to the arrangement, and, when relevant, other facts and circumstances. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint operators) have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint venturers) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Previously, AASB 131 contemplated three types of joint arrangements – jointly controlled entities, jointly controlled operations and jointly controlled assets. The classification of joint arrangements under AASB 131 was primarily determined based on the legal form of the arrangement (e.g. a joint arrangement that was established through a separate entity was accounted for as a jointly controlled entity).
The initial and subsequent accounting of joint ventures and joint operations is different. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (proportionate consolidation is no longer allowed). Investments in joint operations are accounted for such that each joint operator recognises its assets (including its share of any assets jointly held), its liabilities (including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly), its revenue (including its share of revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation) and its expenses (including its share of any expenses incurred jointly).

1 APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (continued)
New and revised Standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures (continued)
Each joint operator accounts for the assets and liabilities, as well as revenues and expenses, relating to its interest in the joint operation in accordance with the applicable Standards.
As the Group does not have any Joint Arrangements, the application of the amendments does not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
AASB 12 ‘Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities’ and AASB 2011-7 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards’
AASB 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the application of AASB 12 has resulted in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
AASB 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ and AASB 2011-8 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13’
The Group has applied AASB 13 for the first time in the current year. AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of AASB 13 is broad; the fair value measurement requirements of AASB 13 apply to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other AASBs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except for share- based payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB 2 ‘Share-based Payment’, leasing transactions that are within the scope of AASB 117 ‘ Leases’, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value (e.g. net realisable value for the purposes of measuring inventories or value in use for impairment assessment purposes).
AASB 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair value under AASB 13 is an exit price regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Also, AASB 13 includes extensive disclosure requirements.
AASB 13 requires prospective application from 1 July 2013. In addition, specific transitional provisions were given to entities such that they need not apply the disclosure requirements set out in the Standard in comparative information provided for periods before the initial application of the Standard. In accordance with these transitional provisions, the Group has not made any new disclosures required by AASB 13 for the 2013 comparative period. Other than the additional disclosures, the application of AASB 13 does not have any material impact on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
AASB 2012-10 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Transition Guidance and Other Amendments’
This standard amends AASB 10 and various Australian Accounting Standards to revise the transition guidance on the initial application of those Standards. This standard also clarifies the circumstances in which adjustments to an entity’s previous accounting for its involvement with other entities are required and the timing of such adjustments. The adoption of this amending standard does not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
AASB 119 ‘Employee Benefits’ (2011) and AASB 2011-10 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (2011)’
AASB 119 (as revised in 2011) changes the accounting for defined benefit plans and termination benefits. The most significant change relates to the accounting for changes in defined benefit obligations and plan assets. The amendments require the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in the fair value of plan assets when they occur, and hence eliminate the ‘corridor approach’ permitted under the previous version of AASB 119 and accelerate the recognition of past service costs. All actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately through other comprehensive income in order for the net pension asset or liability recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position to reflect the full value of the plan deficit or surplus. Furthermore, the interest cost and expected return on plan assets used in the previous version of AASB 119 are replaced with a ‘net interest’ amount under AASB 119 (as revised in 2011), which is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The adoption of this amending standard does not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Statement of compliance
These financial statements are general-purpose financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with other requirements of the law.
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.
Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of the company and the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 30 September 2014.
Green Rock Energy Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the official list of the Australian Securities Exchange.
2.2 Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The consolidated entity has incurred net losses after taxes of $2,428,562 (30 June 2013: $5,970,061) and experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of $687,112 (30 June 2013: $725,254) and net cash outflows from exploration and evaluation expenditure of $547,771 (30 June 2013: $438,334) for the year ended 30 June 2014.
The consolidated entity is currently in transition from being a geothermal & hydrocarbon focused company to a graphite exploration company (refer subsequent events note 30). As a result, the consolidated entity has surrendered its geothermal permits, which are currently subject to processing by relevant Government bodies for relinquishment. The exploration commitment by the relevant statutory bodies over the geothermal permits prior to relinquishment was estimated to be approximately $143m. As a result of the relinquishment, the consolidated entity is of the strong opinion that all previous un-spent exploration commitments associated with these surrendered permits will not be required to be funded by the consolidated entity.
On 28 July 2014, the Company completed a placement via the issue of a further 213,000,000 fully paid shares at $0.003 to raise $639,000 to fund ongoing working capital activities. As part of the aforementioned placement, 66,000,000 unlisted options are to be issued at a later date following shareholder approval. The options will have an exercise price of $0.01.
On 10 July 2014 and 22 August 2014, the Company announced to the ASX that it had entered into agreements to acquire 4 Graphite projects in Tanzania. As part of these agreements, the company will incur minimum exploration expenditure commitments totalling $1 million to be spent over the first 12 months post settlement of the agreements. The option agreements are subject to the satisfaction of various conditions precedent, including, the company obtaining all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals under the ASX Listing Rules, Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) or any other law to allow completion of the transaction.
As part of the conditions precedent, the Company will be required to re-comply with ASX Listing Rules Chapters 1 and 2, which will require the Company to issues a prospectus to raise a minimum of $4.0 million before costs. On 30 September 2014 the Company announced that it had entered into a Capital Raising mandate with Foster Stockbroking Pty Ltd to raise up to $5m with a minimum of $4m. The capital raising is not underwritten. It is expected that the $5m prospectus raising will be concluded in November 2014. The directors remain confident that the minimum raising of $4m will be achieved.
During this transitional period to a graphite resources company and within a 12 month period, the Company is expected to realise the early redemption of its Sunbird Energy Loan of $400,000 plus accrued interest and the possibility of the divestment of its hydrocarbon asset.
The above conditions indicate some uncertainty and doubt about the company’s and the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as going concerns.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.2 Going Concern (continued)
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the period ending 30 September 2015, which indicates the consolidated entity is intending to raise at least $4 million of new capital within the next 3 months in order to meet the conditions precedent associated with re-compliance under ASX Listing Rules Chapters 1 and 2 and to meet the costs associated with the Graphite purchase agreements.
This new capital will go towards meeting its minimum working capital requirements and commitment of approximately $1.3m arising from its Tanzanian graphite projects through to 30 September 2015. The Directors have excluded commitments specific to the Western Australian geothermal and petroleum permits which, as disclosed in Note 26, have already been surrendered or are in the process of being relinquished, or farmed out.
The directors are satisfied that they will achieve the matters set out above and therefore the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. The financial report has therefore been prepared on the going concern basis.
Should the company and the consolidated entity be unable to obtain funding through capital raising and to confirm the surrender or farm out of work commitments on permits, there is a material uncertainty whether the company and the consolidated entity will be able to continue as going concerns and therefore, whether they will realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities as and when they fall due.
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the company and the consolidated entity not continue as going concerns.
2.3 Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for certain properties and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of AASB 117, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in AASB 2 or value in use in AASB 136.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
2.4 Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:
-
has power over the investee;
-
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
-
• has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.4 Basis of consolidation (continued)
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company's voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:
-
the size of the Company's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;
-
potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;
-
rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
-
any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders meetings.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
2.4.1 Changes in the Group's ownership interests in existing subsidiaries
Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group's interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non- controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by applicable AASBs). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under AASB 139, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.5 Investments in associates and joint ventures
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The results and assets and liabilities of associates or joint ventures are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment, or a portion thereof, is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with AASB 5. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate or joint venture. When the Group's share of losses of an associate or a joint venture exceeds the Group's interest in that associate or joint venture (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate or joint venture), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.
An investment in an associate or a joint venture is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the investee becomes an associate or a joint venture. On acquisition of the investment in an associate or a joint venture, any excess of the cost of the investment over the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.
The requirements of AASB 139 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s investment in an associate or a joint venture. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount, Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with AASB 136 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date when the investment ceases to be an associate or a joint venture, or when the investment is classified as held for sale. When the Group retains an interest in the former associate or joint venture and the retained interest is a financial asset, the Group measures the retained interest at fair value at that date and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition in accordance with AASB 139. The difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture at the date the equity method was discontinued, and the fair value of any retained interest and any proceeds from disposing of a part interest in the associate or joint venture is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate or joint venture. In addition, the Group accounts for all amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate or joint venture on the same basis as would be required if that associate or joint venture had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income by that associate or joint venture would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) when the equity method is discontinued.
The Group continues to use the equity method when an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate. There is no re-measurement to fair value upon such changes in ownership interests.
When the Group reduces its ownership interest in an associate or a joint venture but the Group continues to use the equity method, the Group reclassifies to profit or loss the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest if that gain or loss would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities.
When a group entity transacts with an associate or a joint venture of the Group, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate or joint venture are recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate or joint venture that are not related to the Group.

When a group entity transacts with an associate or a joint venture of the Group, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate or joint venture are recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate or joint venture that are not related to the Group.
2.6 Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
2.6.1 Interest income
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
2.7 Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
2.7.1 The Group as lessee
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Group’s general policy on borrowing costs. Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

2.8 Foreign currency translation
The individual financial statements of each group entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each group entity are expressed in Australian dollars (‘$’), which is the functional currency of the Company and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements.
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non- monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:
-
exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings;
-
exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks; and
-
exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on repayment of the monetary items.
For the purpose of presenting these consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (and attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).
On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group's entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a partial disposal of an interest in a joint arrangement or an associate that includes a foreign operation of which the retained interest becomes a financial asset), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.
In addition, in relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation that does not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to noncontrolling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. partial disposals of associates or joint arrangements that do not result in the Group losing significant influence or joint control), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed through acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising are recognised in other comprehensive income.

2.9 Government Grants
Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognised as deferred revenue in the statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.
2.10 Provisions for Employee Entitlements
Liabilities for wages and salaries, annual leave and other current employee entitlements 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. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.
Liabilities for long service leave and other noncurrent employee entitlements expected to be settled in more than 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other noncurrent 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.
Contributions to employee superannuation plans are charged as an expense as the contributions are paid or become payable.
2.11 Share-based payment transactions
The Company provides benefits to employees and others (i.e. consultants) of the Company in the form of share- based payment transactions, whereby employees and others render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (“Equity– settled transactions”).
There is currently one plan in place to provide these benefits being an Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”), which provides benefits to Directors, senior executives and staff.
The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to fair value at the date at which they are granted. An external valuer using the Black-Scholes model determines the fair value.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Green Rock Energy Limited (“market conditions”).
The cost of equity settled securities is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (“vesting date”).

2.12 Taxation
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the income tax rate 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 by reporting date. 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 asset or a liability is recognised in relation to those 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.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.
Green Rock Energy Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation.
The head entity, Green Rock Energy Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax-consolidated group continues to be a stand-alone taxpayer in its own right.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Green Rock Energy Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax-consolidated group.

2.13 Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs.
If any such indication exists where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.
Depreciation
Depreciable non-current assets are depreciated over their expected economic life using the straight-line method. Profits and losses on disposal of non-current assets are taken into account in determining the operating loss for the year. The depreciation rate used for each class of assets is as follows:
Plant and equipment: 7.5% - 40%

2.14 Exploration 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, otherwise costs are expensed.
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 permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on a discounted 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 have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.
2.15 Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.16 Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
2.16.1 Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL.
2.16.2 Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:
-
it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
-
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
-
it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
-
A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
-
such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
-
the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group's documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or
-
it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and AASB 139 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the ‘other gains and losses’ line item.
2.16.3 Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date, which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in other financial assets (note 11) in the statement of financial position.
2.16.4 Held-to-maturity investments
Bills of exchange and debentures with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity dates that the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity investments. At reporting date, the consolidated entity did not hold any held-to-maturity investments.
2.16.4 Available-for-sale financial assets
Listed shares held by the Group that are traded in an active market are classified as AFS and are stated at fair value. At reporting date, the consolidated entity did not hold any listed shares. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve, with the exception of impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method, and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which are recognised in profit or loss.

2.16 Financial Instruments (continued)
2.16.5 Available-for-sale financial assets (continued)
Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
Dividends on AFS equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established.
The fair value of AFS monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. The foreign exchange gains and losses that are recognised in profit or loss are determined based on the amortised cost of the monetary asset. Other foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income.
2.16.6 Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety (e.g. when the Group retains an option to repurchase part of a transferred asset), the Group allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognise under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognised and the sum of the consideration received for the part no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts.
2.16.7 Subsequent measurement
Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category are presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit and loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as part of revenue from continuing operations when the consolidated entity’s right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign currency and classified as available-for- sale are analyzed between translation differences resulting from changes in amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. The translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in equity. Changes in the fair value of other monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity.

2.16 Financial Instruments (continued)
2.16.8 Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
For financial assets that are carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
When an AFS financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
In respect of AFS equity securities, impairment losses previously recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of investments revaluation reserve. In respect of AFS debt securities, impairment losses are subsequently reversed through profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss are not reversed through the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
2.17 Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (“GST”), except:
-
i. where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.
-
ii. For receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables.
Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified within operating cash flows.
2.18 Segment information
Operating segments have been identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board of Directors of the Company.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.19 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits 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.
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, which are readily convertible to cash on hand and which are used in the cash management function on a day-to-day basis.
2.20 Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 14 days.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written-off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.
The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written-off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously writtenoff are credited against other expenses in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
2.21 Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of financial year, which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
2.22 Contributed Equity
Issued capital is recognised as the fair value of the consideration received by the Company.
Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received
2.23 Earnings per share
2.23.1 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, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
2.23.2 Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

3 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the directors of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
3.1 Critical judgements in applying accounting policies
The following are the critical judgements that the directors have made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
3.1.1 Classification of Central European Geothermal Energy Private Company Limited as an associate
Note 13 describes that Central European Geothermal Energy Private Company Limited (CEGE) is an associated entity of the Group as the Company is not party to any contractual arrangements that would indicate control over CEGE nor does the Company have significant influence over CEGE. Accordingly, CEGE is defined as an associate of the Group and reported under the equity accounting method.
3.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
3.2.1 Impairment
The consolidated entities assess impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entities that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. The Group’s policy on the capitalization of exploration and evaluation expenditure is detailed in note 2.14.
3.2.2 Share based payments
The consolidated entities measure the cost of equity settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using the Black Scholes model. One of the inputs into the option valuation model is volatility of the underlying share price which is estimated on the one year history of the share price and has been estimated as approximately 110% to 122%.
3.2.3 Doubtful debts/recovery of provision
The Directors believe that the recovery of the intercompany loan from the head Company to the consolidated entities is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploration or, alternatively, the sale of the exploration assets held by the controlled entity.

The ultimate recoupment of capitalised exploration expenditure is dependent upon the successful development and/or commercial exploitation or, alternatively through the sale of the respective underlying licences. During the year the Group’s partner, AWE, decided not to progress with locations selected for geothermal wells. As a result of this withdrawal and despite the Group’s continued works into obtaining funding agencies approvals for a change of location, the Board agreed to relinquish its interest in its Geothermal projects and have impaired the value of $873,482 relating to the operations to nil at reporting date. The remaining balance at reporting date of $334,454 represents the carrying value of its Oil & Gas asset - Ocean Hill.

19 ISSUED CAPITAL
Changes to the then Corporations Law abolished the authorised capital and par value concept in relation to share capital from 1 July 1998. Therefore, the company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital and issued shares do not have a par value.
The Company’s shares are limited whereby the liability of its members is limited to the amount (if any) unpaid on the shares respectively held by them.
Ordinary shares have the right to receive dividends as declared and in the event of the winding-up of the Company, to participate in the proceeds from the sale of all surplus assets in proportion to the number of shares held.
Ordinary shares, which have no par value, entitle their holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at a meeting of the Company.

22 SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
(a) Employee Share Incentive Scheme
The establishment of the Green Rock Energy Limited Employee Share Incentive Option Plan (“the Plan”) was initially approved by special resolution at a General Meeting of shareholders of the Company held on 21 November 2006 and approval renewed by shareholders on 18 November 2009 and 28 November 2013. All eligible Directors, executive officers and employees of Green Rock Energy Limited are eligible to participate in the Plan.
The Plan allows the Company to issue free options to eligible persons. The options can be granted free of charge and are exercisable at a fixed price calculated in accordance with the Plan.
The fair value of the equity-settled share options granted is estimated as at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted.
The share based payment arrangements that were in existence during current and prior-reporting periods is detailed in note 19.2. During the year, the shared based payment expense recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss totaled $1,978.
The following factors and assumptions were used in determining the fair value of options granted in the prior year:

26 EXPENDITURE COMMITMENTS
26.1 Exploration
The Company is currently in transition from being Geothermal & Hydrocarbon focused to a Graphite Resources company (refer subsequent event note in directors report and note 30). As a result, the Company has relinquished all of its Geothermal Assets in Western Australia and South Australia. The Company has confirmed via the Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) and The South Australian Department for Manufacturing, Innovation, Trade, Resources and Energy that the Company’s surrender notices are being processed and it is very unlikely that the work programmes and minimum exploration work attached to the surrendered permits will be required to be met.
In the prior year, Green Rock has made applications to the DMP to vary the work requirements of certain permits and in one case to amalgamate the work programs of 7 contiguous permits and amend the minimum work program, which would have significantly reduced its Geothermal exploration commitments. The previous commitment on all 7 Geothermal exploration licences when considered separately and when not taking into account the relinquishment process, totals $143m. The Company has received assurances that the commitment to the Geothermal exploration licence commitment will fall away as part of the relinquishment process currently underway.
With regards to the Company’s South Australian Geothermal Permits now in the process of being relinquished, there may be a requirement for the Company to undertake remedial work on a previously drilled geothermal well. This exposure is covered by way of a cash backed bond ($105,300) that the South Australian Department for Manufacturing, Innovation, Trade, Resources and Energy. The Company estimates that the remedial work will total approximately $60,000.
Both the DMP and South Australian Department for Manufacturing, Innovation, Trade, Resources and Energy have acknowledged that the Geothermal sector in general has been unable to obtain and attract a substantial amount of investment at a time when funding for and investment interest in geothermal energy became progressively harder to obtain. Therefore as a result both State Governments have worked co-operatively with the Company on a nil relinquishment commitment.

26 EXPENDITURE COMMITMENTS (Continued)
26.1 Exploration (Continued)
In April 2013 Green Rock announced its notification by the DMP as the preferred applicant for petroleum release area L12-7 covering approximately 300 sq. km in the North Perth Basin. Subject to successful Native Title negotiations Green Rock will be awarded a new Exploration Permit with a work program that includes a substantial 3D seismic program followed by a well. The start date for this work program is uncertain and depends on the time required to complete Native Title negotiations and to obtain environmental and other approvals to conduct the work program activity. The indicative cost for this work program at the time of making application was $13 million. It is the Directors’ expectation that the Company’s efforts to farm out part of its interests in the Exploration Permit will be successful and will result in the large majority of the work program cost being covered by the farminee partner.
Subsequent Commitments entered into after 30 June 2014
On 10 July 2014 and 22 August 2014, the Company announced to the ASX that it had entered into agreements to acquire 4 Graphite projects in Tanzania. As part of these agreements, the company has agreed to minimum exploration expenditure commitments totaling $1m to be acquitted over the first 12 months post settlement of option agreements. The option agreements are subject to the satisfaction of various conditions precedent, including, Green Rock obtaining all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals under the ASX Listing Rules, Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) or any other law to allow completion of the transactions.
26.2 Capital Commitments
The Group has no capital commitments (2013: NIL).
26.3 Operating Lease Commitments
As at 30 June 2014 and at the date of this report, there are no operating lease commitments (2013: Nil).

28 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks and market risks. The Company'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 Company. The Company does not hold any complex financial instruments. The financial instruments of the Company are all disclosed on an amortised cost basis.
28.1 Capital Management
The main focus of the Group’s capital management policy is to ensure adequate working capital to fund the exploration and development activities of its various geothermal projects. This is done through the close monitoring of cash flow projections.
The Group’s working capital as at balance date was:
| Cash and bank balances Trade and other receivables Other financial assets Trade and other payables |
For the year ended 30/06/2014 For the year ended 30/06/2013 |

| $ $ 801,258 1,178,576 24,896 1,133,604 400,000 - (81,171) (174,393) |
|
| 1,144,983 2,137,787 |
28.2 Financial risk management
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments.
Risk management is the responsibility of the Board of Directors.
28.3 Market risk
28.3.1 Foreign exchange risk
The Group has a minority interest in a Geothermal operation in Hungary and is exposed to foreign exchange currency movements arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the Euro and the Hungarian Forint.
Foreign exchange risk arises from recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency and net investments in foreign operations.
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date was as follows:
Group sensitivity
The parent entity advances funds to the Hungarian subsidiary in Australian Dollars. In practical terms the Australian Dollar is converted to the Euro and the Hungarian Forint (“HUF”). The foreign exchange risk is recognized by the Hungarian subsidiary. The consolidated entity’s pre-tax profit for the year would have been $3,895 higher/$3,895 lower (2013: $13,751 higher/ $13,751 lower) had the Australian dollar strengthened/weakened by 10% against the Hungarian Forint.

28 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
28.3 Market risk (continued)
i. Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk through cash and cash equivalents $801,258 (2013: $1,178,576).
At 30 June 2014, if the interest rates had weakened/strengthened by 100 basis points from the year-end rates with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been $1,920 lower/higher (2013: $11,247 lower/higher) mainly as a result of interest income deceases/increases.
b. Credit risk
Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.
Cash and cash equivalents are held with recognisable banking and financial institutions. The maximum exposure to credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is the carrying value.
Other receivables are due from third parties considered credit worthy. The maximum exposure to credit risk for other receivables at the reporting date is the carrying amount as summarised at note 10. The ageing analysis of receivables is as follows:
| Debtor | < 30 days |
|---|---|
| Trade receivable | 24,896 |
| > 30 days | |
| Other financial asset | 400,000 |
The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates.
c. Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash to ensure that the Group’s liabilities can be settled as and when they become due.
i. Maturities of financial liabilities
The tables below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.
| Creditor | <1 month |
|---|---|
| Trade payables | 81,171 |
d. Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Green Rock Energy Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows and the statement of changes in equity for the year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity, comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year as set out on pages 19 to 67.21 to 69.
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 2.1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the consolidated 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 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.
Auditor’s Independence Declaration
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 Green Rock Energy Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

Opinion
In our opinion:
-
(a) the financial report of Green Rock Energy Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2014 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and
-
(b) the consolidated financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 2.1.
Material Uncertainty Regarding Continuation as a Going Concern
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2.2 in the financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity has incurred net losses of $2,428,562 (30 June 2013: $5,970,061) and experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of $687,112 (30 June 2013: $725,254) and net cash outflows from exploration and evaluation expenditure of $547,771 (30 June 2013: $438,334) for the year ended 30 June 2014. These conditions, along with other matters set out in Note 2.2, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company’s and the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as going concerns and therefore, whether they will realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 13 to 17 11 to 15 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2014. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Opinion
In our opinion the Remuneration Report of Green Rock Energy Limited for the year ended 30 June 2014, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
