Commentary on Results
The consolidated entity has incurred a net loss for the year ended 30 June 2015 of $26,490,513 after a non-cash impairment loss of $27,959,823 was recorded against the group’s investment in Advent Energy Ltd (2014: loss of $1,266,079) and has a net cash outflow from operating activities of $424,043 (2014: $400,388). The Group has a working capital deficit of $1,546,221 (note 18 b) (2014: $1,177,793).
The net assets of the consolidated entity decreased by $26,207,880 to $20,739,418 at 30 June 2015. This decrease has largely resulted from the write down of the group’s investment in associated entities. The impairment loss has been recorded in the statement of profit and loss. In 2011 the Group, made a fair value adjustment of $21,450,000 ($15,015,000 net of tax) to the investment in Advent Energy Limited, as a result of the move from an available for sale investment to equity accounting. Under Australian Accounting Standards, the impairment loss cannot be recognised against the reserve and must be recognised in the profit and loss. Following the decline in energy stocks during the period the fair value of Advent, in line with other companies decreased. As a result management recorded an impairment loss of $27,959,823. Under the Australian Accounting Standards the loss cannot be written off against the reserve and hence has been recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Significant Changes in State Of Affairs
The major activities throughout the period were:
Cortical Dynamics Ltd
- Cortical is progressing the BAR monitor toward regulatory approval in Australia and Europe. In 2013 Cortical lodged an application for Conformity Assessment Certification with the Australian therapeutics and goods administration (TGA), a review which comprises of an on-site audit of a company’s manufacturing facility in addition to the examination of the device’s clinical evidence.
Appendix 4E - Preliminary Final Report BPH ENERGY LIMITED and its controlled subsidiaries For the year ended 30 June 2015
The on-site audit showed Cortical to satisfactorily comply with the manufacturing standard established under the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 . Satisfactorily complying with the TGA on-site audit validates Cortical’s Quality Management System to a standard that is recognised for the design, development and manufacturing of safe medical devices.
Late 2014 Cortical Dynamics Ltd voluntarily withdrew its Conformity Assessment application after receiving feedback from the TGA. Cortical subsequently refined its application to better reflect the Essential Principles of the TGA and submitted an amended application in February 2015. TGA certification will allow Cortical to market the BAR monitor within Australia.
- During period Cortical re-located its manufacturing and research facility to the STC incubator in Scoresby Victoria. The re-location to the STC - a facility designed to promote commercialisation and entrepreneurship around next-generation innovation - will provide the network and support to further advance the development and commercialisation of the BAR monitor.
Molecular Discover Systems Ltd
- The team at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research has been examining the liver sections of aged HLS5 knockout mice for the presence or absence of cancer. This experiment is a precursor to a larger, long-term experiment which will further define HLS5’s role in liver cancer progression and development.
Advent Energy Ltd
-
During the period, Advent Energy’s wholly owned subsidiary, Asset Energy Pty Ltd ( Asset ), received a 12 month suspension of its PEP11 permit year 2 work program of a 200 km 2D seismic survey and geotechnical studies.
-
Asset commenced preparation of an Environment Plan for approval by National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority prior to undertaking the seismic acquisition in the PEP11 permit, offshore NSW.
-
Advent Energy continued with commercial discussions, planning and engineering evaluation for development of its conventional gas resources in EP386 and RL1, onshore Bonaparte Basin. This includes discussions with potential third party infrastructure providers to contribute expertise and resources to the conceptual commercialisation of a virtual pipeline gas delivery methodology in the east Kimberley region. This commercialisation strategy is aided by the completion of key road infrastructure constructed by the State and Federal Governments as part of the East Kimberley Development Package portions of which are within the boundaries of EP386.
-
Advent Energy’s wholly owned subsidiary, Onshore Energy Pty Ltd, received a 12 month suspension of its EP386 permit year 2 work program of one exploration well.
-
During the period, Advent Energy, along with its Joint Venturers, lodged an application to the Western Australian Department of Mines & Petroleum to surrender EP325 in the Exmouth Sub-basin of the Carnarvon Basin.

Review of Operations
Investment in Oil and Gas Exploration Company
Advent Energy Ltd (“Advent”):
BPH Energy currently holds an interest of 27% in unlisted Australian exploration company Advent Energy (“Advent”).
Advent has assembled a range of hydrocarbon permits which contain near term production opportunities with pre-existing infrastructure and exploration upside.
Advent’s assets include EP386 and RL1 (100%) in the onshore Bonaparte Basin in the north of Western Australia and Northern Territory and PEP11 (85%) in the offshore Sydney Basin.
Advent is investigating a considerable potential shale gas resource within EP386 and RL1. Studies indicate significant potential upside in prospective shale gas resources with an estimated (Best Estimate) prospective recoverable resource of 9.8 Tcf (Low Estimate is 1.9 Tcf and High Estimate is 25.4 Tcf).
A 2C Contingent Resource of 11.5 Bcf (1C is 0.3 Bcf and 3C is 45.8 Bcf) for the Weaber Gas Field (RL1) has been assessed by an independent third party as a component of Advent’s drive to commercialise its 100% owned onshore Bonaparte Basin assets. The rapid development of the Kununurra region in northern Western Australia, including the Ord Irrigation Expansion Project and numerous resource projects, provides an exceptional opportunity for Advent to potentially develop its nearby gas resources for the benefit of the region along with Advent and its shareholders.

Directors’ Report BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities
The Sydney Basin is a proven petroleum basin with excellent potential for the discovery of gas and oil. Advent has demonstrated an active hydrocarbon system with seeps reported in the offshore area and sampling has indicated the presence of thermogenic hydrocarbon gas. This is considered to occur in basins actively generating hydrocarbons and/or that contain excellent migration pathways. Previous drilling has shown that the early Permian geological sequence is mature for hydrocarbons.
Undiscovered prospective recoverable gas resources for structural targets within the PEP11 offshore permit have been estimated at 5.7 Tcf (at the Best Estimate level). A Low Estimate of 0.3 Tcf and High Estimate of 67.8 Tcf has been assessed by Pangean Resources in 2010. PEP 11 lies adjacent to the most populous region of Australia and the major industrial hub and port of Newcastle.
Investment in Biotechnology Companies
BPH Energy’s existing Biotechnology investments include its 3.89% interest in Cortical Dynamics Limited; 51.82% interest in Diagnostic Array Systems Pty Ltd and its 20% interest in Molecular Discovery Systems Limited.
Molecular Discovery Systems Limited (”MDSystems”)
Drug Discovery:
To date, utilising the automated high resolution imaging platform, In-Cell analyzer, MDSystems has developed a number of high content drug screens. These screens have led to the identification of several compounds which have been shown to interfere with a number of cancer associated cell signalling pathways.
However, in 2014 after careful consideration of general market conditions and available resources, MDSystems made a decision to suspend its early stage drug discovery program. This change was made effective from July 2014.
HLs5 Project:
MDSystems will continue working with the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research (formerly Western Australian Institute of Medical Research) (“Perkins Institute”) to develop and validate HLs5 as a novel tumour suppressor gene. A concerted research effort by leading Australian scientists has revealed that HLs5 works through multiple pathways that may target cancer as well as a range of other diseases such as Huntington’s, Parkinson’s and HIV infection.
MDSystems has an extensive patent portfolio encapsulating the tumour suppressor gene HLs5 both as a potential therapeutic target and also underpinning its involvement in a variety of disease pathways.
Cortical Dynamics Limited (“Cortical Dynamics”):
Cortical Dynamics is working with BPH Energy and the Swinburne University of Technology (”SUT”) to develop and commercialise a unique depth of anaesthesia monitoring system for use during major surgery. The core technology is based on real time analysis of the patients electroencephalograph (EEG) using a proprietary algorithm based on a mathematically and physiologically detailed understanding of the brain’s rhythmic electrical activity.
The Cortical Dynamics’ team lead by Professor David Liley had previously analysed a comprehensive data set obtained from Europe using the Brain Anaesthesia Response (“BAR”) methodology. The detailed results were published in the prestigious peer-reviewed international Journal of Anesthesiology, 2010. The paper indicated the potential of the BAR’s methodology to separately monitor hypnotic and analgesic state.
Cortical Dynamics has completed an important clinical trial utilising the BAR monitor. The trial is a significant event in the BAR monitor’s development program as it is the first time the complete monitoring system has been used in the operating room. A detailed analysis of the clinical trial data indicated that the BAR monitor’s Cortical Input (CI) index can discriminate between two doses of fentanyl, a commonly used analgesic agent. The study also concluded that the BAR monitor’s CS index was highly correlated with the Bispectral Index (BIS[TM] ), a generally accepted measure of sedation. The trial’s findings in combination with the results of the 2010 publication suggest that the BAR monitor may find significant utility in the delivery of optimal and balanced surgical anaesthesia.

Directors’ Report BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities
Diagnostic Array Systems (“DAS”)
DAS is working to commercialise BacTrak™, a diagnostic tool that will enable pathology laboratories and the emergency departments of hospitals to provide patients with fast and accurate identification of disease causing bacteria from a single sputum sample. The test has important implications for the clinical management of infectious diseases by identifying the specific bacteria responsible for a disease. Utilisation of the novel test is intended to provide more information, more quickly, than alternative methods. It has the potential to accelerate therapeutic treatment, lead to a reduction in hospitalisations and help reduce the overuse of antibiotics.
Financial Position
The consolidated entity has incurred a net loss for the year ended 30 June 2015 of $26,490,513 after a non cash impairment loss of $27,959,823 was recorded against the group’s investment in Advent Energy Ltd (2014: loss of $1,266,079) and has a net cash outflow from operating activities of $424,043 (2014: $400,388). The Group has a working capital deficit of $1,546,221 (note 18 b) (2014: $1,177,793).
The net assets of the consolidated entity decreased by $26,207,880 to $20,739,418 at 30 June 2015. This decrease has largely resulted from the write down of the group’s investment in associated entities. The impairment loss has been recorded in the statement of profit and loss. In 2011 the Group, made a fair value adjustment of $21,450,000 ($15,015,000 net of tax) to the investment in Advent Energy Limited, as a result of the move from an available for sale investment to equity accounting. Under Australian Accounting Standards, the impairment loss cannot be recognised against the reserve and must be recognised in the profit and loss. Following the decline in energy stocks during the period the fair value of Advent, in line with other companies decreased. As a result management recorded an impairment loss of $27,959,823. Under the Australian Accounting Standards the loss cannot be written off against the reserve and hence has been recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Included in trade creditors and payables is director fee accruals of $947,380 (30 June 2014: $806,902). The directors have reviewed their expenditure and commitments for the consolidated entity and have implemented methods of costs reduction. The directors as a part of their cash monitoring, have voluntarily suspended cash payments for their directors’ fees to conserve cash resources. Directors past and present have agreed to suspend payment of fees until the company is financially independent.
On the 14[th] November 2014 the group entered into a convertible loan facility for a maximum amount of $200,000. On the 18[th] August 2015 the facility was further extended to a maximum draw down amount of $295,000. As at 30 June 2015 the group has used $114,859 giving them access to a further $180,141.
The group has current financial liabilities of $733,220. The Group has received confirmation from the lender that the current financial liabilities of $618,361 (2014: $561,836) will not be called for a period of 12 months from the date of this financial report or until such time as the Group it’s financially independent. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts that indicate that the consolidated entity will have sufficient cash flows via debt and equity funding for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report.
Based on the cash flow forecasts including the extended loan facility, director’s voluntarily suspending cash payments for their director fees and deferral of current financial liabilities the directors are satisfied that, the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. The financial report has therefore been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
Significant Changes in State Of Affairs
The major activities throughout the period were:
- On 10 February 2015 BPH Energy announced a Share Purchase Plan. The plan was open to existing shareholders who were able to purchase up to $15,000 worth of stock at a 20% discount to the average market price of the Company’s shares calculated over the five days prior to and including the record date. The plan was closed on 6 March 2015 oversubscribed and successfully raised in excess of $203,000.

Directors’ Report BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities
B Whan – Non-Executive Director (appointed 2 February 2015)
All the parties have held their current position for the whole of the financial year and since the end of the financial year unless otherwise stated.
Remuneration Policy
The remuneration policy of BPH Energy Limited has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives as determined by the board and/or shareholders. The remuneration report as contained in the 2014 financial accounts was adopted at the Company’s 2014 annual general meeting. The board believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the economic entity, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.
The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the economic entity is as follows:
-
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed and approved by the board.
-
All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits and options.
-
The board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the economic entity’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.
The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed biannually with each executive and is based predominantly on the amount of their workloads and responsibilities for the company. The board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options, and can recommend changes to recommendations. Any changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.
Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements.
The executive directors and executives which receive salaries receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.50%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits.
Shares given to directors and executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive. Options are valued using an appropriate valuation methodology.
The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. Payments to non-executive directors are based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required on payments to non-executive directors. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the economic entity. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company and are able to participate in the employee option plan.
The board does not have a policy in relation to the limiting of risk to directors and executives in relation to the shares and options provided.
Employment contracts of key management personnel
The employment conditions of the managing director and all of the key management personnel are formalised in contracts of employment. The employment contracts stipulate a six month resignation period. The Company may terminate an employment contract without cause by providing six months written notice or making payment in lieu of notice, based on the individual’s annual salary component together with a redundancy payment of six
7
Directors’ Report BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities
months of the individual’s fixed salary component. Termination payments are generally not payable on resignation or dismissal for serious misconduct. In the instance of serious misconduct the company can terminate employment at any time. Any options not exercised before or on the date of termination will not lapse.
The remaining directors are consultants to BPH Energy and each party can terminate their services by written notice.

Company performance, shareholder wealth and director and executive remuneration
The following table shows the gross revenue and the operating result for the last 5 years for the listed entity, as well as the share price at the end of the respective financial years. Analysis of the actual figures shows a notable increase in the loss in the current year which can be attributed to the write down of the group’s investment in associated entities. The impairment loss has been recorded in the statement of profit and loss. In 2011 the Group, made a fair value adjustment of $21,450,000 ($15,015,000 net of tax) to the investment in Advent Energy Limited, as a result of the move from an available for sale to equity accounting. Under Australian Accounting Standards, the impairment loss cannot be recognised against the reserve and must be recognised in the profit and loss. Following the decline of the price of oil and oil equivalents during the period the fair value of Advent, in line with other companies decreased. As a result management recorded an impairment loss of $27,959,823. Under the Australian Accounting Standards the loss cannot be written off against the reserve and hence has been recognised in statement of profit and loss.

Corporate Governance
BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities
The Board of Directors of BPH Energy Limited (“BPH Energy” or “the Company”) (“Group”) is responsible for the corporate governance of the economic entity. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of the Company on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.
To ensure that the Board is well equipped to discharge its responsibilities, it has established guidelines and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURES
BPH Energy Limited and the board are committed to achieving and demonstrating the highest standards of corporate governance. The board continues to review the framework and practices to ensure they meet the interests of shareholders. The company and its controlled entities together are referred to as the Group in this statement.
COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD
The composition of the Board is determined in accordance with the following principles and guidelines:
-
the Board should have at least one independent non-executive director;
-
the Board should have at least one director with an appropriate range of qualifications and expertise; and
-
the Board shall meet at regular intervals and follow meeting guidelines set down to ensure all directors are made aware of, and have available all necessary information, to participate in an informed discussion of all agenda items.
When a vacancy exists, through whatever cause, or where it is considered that the Board would benefit from the service of a new director with particular skills, the Board selects a candidate or panel of candidates with the appropriate expertise.
The Board then appoints the most suitable candidate, who must stand for election at the next general meeting of shareholders. The Company does not have a formal Nomination Committee.
REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEES
The Company does not have a formal Remuneration or Nomination Committee. The full Board attends to the matters normally attended to by a Remuneration Committee and a Nomination committee. Remuneration levels are set by the Company in accordance with industry standards to attract suitably qualified and experienced Directors and senior executives.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Company does not have a formal Audit Committee. The full Board carries out the functions of an Audit Committee. Due to the status of the Company and the relatively straight forward accounts of the Company anticipated in the financial year, the Directors believe that there presently would be no additional benefits obtained by establishing such a committee. The Board follows the Audit Committee Charter, a copy of which is available on request.

Corporate Governance BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities
BOARD RESPONSIBILITIES
As the Board acts on behalf of and is accountable to the shareholders, it seeks to identify the expectations of the shareholders, as well as other regulatory and ethical expectations and obligations. In addition, the Board is responsible for identifying areas of significant business risk and ensuring arrangements are in place to adequately manage those risks. The Board seeks to discharge these responsibilities in a number of ways.
The responsibility for the operation and administration of the economic entity is delegated by the Board to the Managing Director. The Board ensures that the Managing Director is appropriately qualified and experienced to discharge his responsibilities, and has in place procedures to assess the performance for the Company’s officers, employees, contractors and consultants.
The Board is responsible for ensuring that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the expectations and risks identified by the Board. It has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure this is achieved, including the following:
-
Board approval of a strategic plan, designed to meet shareholder needs and manage business risk;
-
Implementation of operating plans and budgets by management and Board monitoring progress against budget; and
-
Procedures to allow directors, in the furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense.
MONITORING OF THE BOARD’S PERFORMANCE
In order to ensure that the Board continues to discharge its responsibilities in an appropriate manner, the performance of all directors is to be reviewed annually by the chairperson. Directors whose performance is unsatisfactory are asked to retire.
BEST PRACTICE RECOMMENDATION
Outlined below are the 8 Essential Corporate Governance Principles as outlined by the ASX and the Corporate Governance Council. The Company has complied with the Corporate Governance Best Practice Recommendations except as identified below.
Action taken and reasons if not adopted
Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight
The relationship between the board and senior management is critical to the Group’s long-term success. The directors are responsible to the shareholders for the performance of the Group in both the short and the longer term and seek to balance sometimes competing objectives in the best interests of the Group as a whole. Their focus is to enhance the interests of shareholders and other key stakeholders and to ensure the Group is properly managed.
The responsibilities of the board include:
• providing strategic guidance to the Group including contributing to the development of and approving the corporate strategy;
-
reviewing and approving business plans, and financial plans including major capital expenditure initiatives;
-
overseeing and monitoring:
-
organisational performance and the achievement of the Group’s strategic goals and objectives; and
-
progress of major capital expenditures and other significant corporate projects including any acquisitions or divestments;
14
Corporate Governance BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities
Action taken and reasons if not adopted
-
monitoring financial performance including approval of the annual and half-year financial reports;
-
appointment, performance assessment and, if necessary, removal of the Managing Director;
• ratifying the appointment and/or removal and contributing to the performance assessment for the members of the senior management team including the CFO and the Company Secretary (Deborah Ambrosini);
-
ensuring there are effective management processes in place and approving major corporate initiatives;
-
enhancing and protecting the reputation of the organization; and
• overseeing the operation of the Group’s system for compliance and risk management reporting to shareholders.
Day to day management of the Group’s affairs and the implementation of the corporate strategy and policy initiatives are formally delegated by the board to the Managing Director and senior executives.
Principle 2: Structure the board to add value
The board operates in accordance with the broad principles set out in its charter. The charter details the board’s composition and responsibilities.
The board seeks to ensure that :
-
at any point in time, its membership represents an appropriate balance between directors with experience and knowledge of the Group and directors with an external or fresh perspective; and
-
the size of the board is conducive to effective discussion and efficient decision-making.
Directors’ independence
The board has adopted specific principles in relation to directors’ independence. These state that when determining independence, a director must be a non-executive and the board should consider whether the director:
• is a substantial shareholder of the company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the company;
-
is or has been employed in an executive capacity by the company or any other Group member within three years before commencing to serve on the board;
-
within the last three years has been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the company or any other Group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided;
-
has a material contractual relationship with the company or a controlled entity other than as a director of the Group; and
• is free from any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director’s independent exercise of their judgement.
Materiality for these purposes is determined on both quantitative and qualitative bases. A transaction of any amount or a relationship is deemed material if knowledge of it may impact the shareholders’ understanding of the director’s performance.
The board assesses independence each year. To enable this process, the directors must provide all information that may be relevant to the assessment.
15
Corporate Governance BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities
Action taken and reasons if not adopted
Board members
Details of the members of the board, their experience, expertise, qualifications, term of office, relationships affecting their independence and their independent status are set out in the directors’ report under the heading ''Information on directors''. At the date of signing the directors’ report, there is one non-executive director and two executive directors, two of whom have no relationships adversely affecting independence and so are deemed independent under the principles set out above.
• Mr Breeze has business dealings with the Group as disclosed in note 25 to the financial report.
Term of office
The company’s Constitution specifies that all non-executive directors must retire from office no later than the third annual general meeting (AGM) following their last election. Where eligible, a director may stand for reelection, subject to the following limitations:
• on attaining the age of 72 years a director will retire, by agreement, at the next AGM and will not seek reelection.
Chair and Managing Director
The Chair is responsible for leading the board, ensuring directors are properly briefed in all matters relevant to their role and responsibilities, facilitating board discussions and managing the board’s relationship with the company’s senior executives. In accepting the position, the Chair has acknowledged that it will require a significant time commitment and has confirmed that other positions will not hinder his effective performance in the role of Chair.
The Managing Director is responsible for implementing Group strategies and policies.
The Chairman does not satisfy the Independence test as the role of the Chairman and the Managing Director is exercised by the same person. The board is of the opinion that the Chairman’s role as Chairman of the Board is appropriate given his experience and knowledge of the business.
Committees
The number of meetings of the company’s board of directors and of each board committee held during the year ended 30 June 2015, and the number of meetings attended by each director is disclosed on page 10.
It is the company’s practice to allow its executive directors to accept appointments outside the company. No appointments of this nature were accepted during the year ended 30 June 2015.
The Company is not of a size at the moment that justifies having a separate Nomination Committee. However, matters typically dealt with by such a committee are dealt with by the Board of Directors.
Notices of meetings for the election of directors comply with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s best practice recommendations.
Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision making
The company has developed a statement of values which has been fully endorsed by the board and applies to all directors and employees. The Statement is regularly reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure it reflects the highest standards of behaviour and professionalism and the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Group’s integrity and to take into account legal obligations and reasonable expectations of the company’s stakeholders.
The Statement requires that at all times all company personnel act with the utmost integrity, objectivity and in compliance with the letter and the spirit of the law and company policies.
The Company’s share trading policy is set out on the Company’s website.
The purchase and sale of company securities by directors and employees is monitored by the Board.
The Company’s policy regarding diversity is set out on the Company’s website.
16
Corporate Governance BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities
Action taken and reasons if not adopted
The Company’s diversity policy does not include measurable objectives as the Board believes that the Company will not be able to successfully meet these given the size and stage of development of the Company. If the Company’s activities increase in size, nature and scope in the future, the suitable measurable objectives will be agreed and put into place. Notwithstanding this, the Company strives to provide the best possible opportunities for current and prospective employees of all backgrounds in such a manner that best adds to overall shareholder value and which reflects the values, principles and spirit of the Company’s Diversity Policy.
The company is committed to Diversity and Equal Opportunity within its workforce placing particular focus on the level of gender diversity at senior levels of the organisation. The company ensures this is achieved by :
-
ensuring recruitment and selection practices enable the availability of a diverse candidate pool for appointments at senior levels;
-
development of high potential women;
-
implementation of flexible working arrangements; and
-
ensuring remuneration practices are free from gender bias.
At conclusion of the reporting year, BPH Energy’s did not have any female directors.
Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting
Adopted except as follows:-
The Company does not have a separate Audit Committee. The full Board carries out the functions of an Audit Committee. The Board has the authority, within the scope of its responsibilities, to seek any information it requires from any employee or external party.
Due to the status of the Company and the relatively straight forward accounts of the Company, the Directors at the moment can see no additional benefits to be obtained by establishing such a committee. The Board follows the Audit Committee Charter, a copy of which is available on request.
External auditors
The Board’s policy is to appoint external auditors who clearly demonstrate quality and independence. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed annually and applications for tender of external audit services are requested as deemed appropriate, taking into consideration assessment of performance, existing value and tender costs. Nexia was appointed as the external auditor in 2012. It is the Corporation Act’s policy to rotate audit engagement partners on listed companies at least every five years. A partner should not be re-assigned to a listed entity audit engagement if this equates to the partner serving in this role for more than 5 out of 7 successive years.
An analysis of fees paid to the external auditors, including a break-down of fees for non-audit services, is provided in the directors’ report and in note 5 to the financial statements. It is the policy of the external auditors to provide an annual declaration of their independence to the Board.
The external auditor will attend the annual general meeting and be available to answer shareholders’ questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report. The Company is not of a size at the moment that justifies having an internal audit division.
Principle 5&6: Make timely and balanced disclosures and respect the rights of shareholders Continuous disclosure and shareholder communication
The company has policies and procedures on information disclosure that focus on continuous disclosure of any information concerning the Group that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price of the company’s securities. These policies and procedures also include the arrangements the company has in place to promote communication with shareholders and encourage effective participation at general meetings.
17
Corporate Governance
BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities
Action taken and reasons if not adopted
The Company Secretary has been nominated as the person responsible for communications with the ASX. This role includes responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements in the ASX Listing Rules and overseeing and co-ordinating information disclosure to the ASX, analysts, brokers, shareholders, the media and the public.
All information disclosed to the ASX is posted on the company’s website as soon as it is disclosed to the ASX. When analysts are briefed on aspects of the Group’s operations, the material used in the presentation is released to the ASX and posted on the company’s web site. Procedures have also been established for reviewing whether any price sensitive information has been inadvertently disclosed and, if so, this information is also immediately released to the market.
All shareholders receive a copy of the company’s annual and half-yearly reports. In addition, the company seeks to provide opportunities for shareholders to participate through electronic means. Recent initiatives to facilitate this include making all company announcements, media briefings, details of company meetings, and financial reports available on the company’s website.
Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk
The board and senior executives are responsible for ensuring there are adequate policies in relation to risk management, compliance and internal control systems. In summary, the company policies are designed to ensure strategic, operational, legal, reputational and financial risks are identified, assessed, effectively and efficiently managed and monitored to enable achievement of the Group’s business objectives.
Considerable importance is placed on maintaining a strong control environment. There is an organisation structure with clearly drawn lines of accountability and delegation of authority. The board actively promotes a culture of quality and integrity.
The responsibility for the operation and administration of the economic entity is delegated by the board to the Managing Director. The board ensures that the Managing Director is appropriately qualified and experienced to discharge his responsibilities, and has in place procedures to assess the performance for the Company’s officers, employees, contractors and consultants. The board receives monthly updates as to the effectiveness of the company's management of material risks that may impede meeting business objectives.
The board is responsible for ensuring that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the expectations and risks identified by the Board. It has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure this is achieved, including the following:
-
Board approval of a strategic plan, designed to meet shareholder needs and manage business risk;
-
Implementation of operating plans and budgets by management and board monitoring progress against budget; and
-
Procedures to allow directors, in the furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense.
Control procedures cover management accounting, financial reporting, project appraisal, IT security, compliance and other risk management issues. The Managing Director is required to ensure that appropriate controls are in place to effectively manage the identified risks. This is monitored by the board on a monthly basis.
The environment
Information on compliance with significant environmental regulations is set out in the directors’ report.
18
Corporate Governance BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities
Action taken and reasons if not adopted
Corporate reporting
The Managing Director and CFO have made the following certifications to the board:
• that the company’s financial reports are complete and present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the financial condition and operational results of the company and Group and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards;
• that the above statement is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the policies adopted by the board; and
• that the company’s risk management and internal compliance and control is operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.
Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly
The Company is not of a size at the moment that justifies having a separate Remuneration Committee. However, matters typically dealt with by such a committee are dealt with by the board.
The board makes specific recommendations on remuneration packages and other terms of employment for executive directors, other senior executives and non-executive directors. The board also reviews gender pay equity on an annual basis to ensure equality.
Each member of the senior executive team signs a formal employment contract at the time of their appointment covering a range of matters including their duties, rights, responsibilities and any entitlements on termination. The standard contract refers to a specific formal job description.
Further information on directors’ and executives’ remuneration, including principles used to determine remuneration, is set out in the directors’ report under the heading ''Remuneration report''. In accordance with Group policy, participants in equity-based remuneration plans are not permitted to enter into any transactions that would limit the economic risk of options or other unvested entitlements.
The board with the Managing Director also assumes responsibility for overseeing management succession planning, including the implementation of appropriate executive development programmes and ensuring adequate arrangements are in place, so that appropriate candidates are recruited for later promotion to senior positions.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2015
BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
Corporate Information
The financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and the notes of BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities (‘Consolidated Group’ or ‘Group’).
BPH Energy Limited is a company incorporated and domiciled in Australia and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The financial report was authorised for issue on 27th August 2015 by the board of directors.
Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001 . BPH Energy Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where stated below.
Compliance with IFRS
The consolidated financial statements of BPH Energy Limited Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Financial Position
The consolidated entity has incurred losses for the year ended 30 June 2015 of $26,490,513 after a non cash impairment loss of $27,959,823 was recorded against the group’s investment in Advent Energy Ltd (2014: losses of $1,266,079) and has a net cash outflow from operating activities of $424,043 (2014: $400,388). The Group has a working capital deficit of $1,546,221 (See note 18 b) (2014: $1,177,793).
The net assets of the consolidated entity decreased by $26,207,880 to $20,739,418 at 30 June 2015. This decrease has largely resulted from the write down of the group’s investment in associated entities. The impairment loss has been recorded in the statement of profit and loss. In 2011 the Group, made a fair value adjustment of $21,450,000 ($15,015,000 net of tax) to the investment in Advent Energy Limited, as a result of the move from an available for sale to equity accounting. Under Australian Accounting Standards, the impairment loss cannot be recognised against the reserve and must be recognised in the profit and loss. Following the decline in energy stocks during the period the fair value of Advent, in line with other companies decreased. As a result management recorded an impairment loss of $27,959,823. Under the Australian Accounting Standards the loss cannot be written off against the reserve and hence has been recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Included in trade creditors and payables is director fee accruals of $947,380 (30 June 2014: $806,902). The directors have reviewed their expenditure and commitments for the consolidated entity and have implemented methods of costs reduction. The directors as a part of their cash monitoring, have voluntarily suspended cash payments for their directors’ fees to conserve cash resources. Directors past and present have agreed to suspend payment of fees until the company is financially independent.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
On the 14[th] November 2014 the group entered into a convertible loan facility for a maximum amount of $200,000. On the 18[th] August the facility was further extended to a maximum draw down amount of $295,000. As at 30 June 2015 the group has used $114,859 giving them access to a further $181,141.
The group has current financial liabilities of $733,220 The Group has received confirmation from the lender that the current financial liabilities of $618,361 (2014: $561,836) will not be called for a period of 12 months from the date of this financial report or until such time as the Group it’s financially independent. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts that indicate that the consolidated entity will have sufficient cash flows via debt and equity funding for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report.
Based on the cash flow forecasts including the extended loan facility, directors voluntarily suspending cash payments for their director fees and deferral of current financial liabilities the directors are satisfied that, the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. The financial report has therefore been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
Accounting Policies
(a) Principles of Consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 20 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end.
As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet respectively.
(ii) Changes in ownership interests
Changes in the Group’s interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control 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.
25
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(a) Principles of Consolidation (continued)
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal 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. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted for (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings) in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. 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 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or jointly controlled entity.
(b) Income Tax
The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the statement of financial position liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be recognised directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilised.
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.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
BPH Energy Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated Group under the tax consolidation regime. The Group notified the Australian Taxation Office on 30 June 2006 that it had formed an income tax consolidated Group to apply from 30 June 2006. The tax consolidated Group has entered a tax funding agreement whereby each company in the Group contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated Group.
Tax incentives
The company may be entitled to claim special tax deductions in relation to qualifying expenditure. As the company is not in a position to recognise current income tax payable or current tax expense, a refundable tax offset will be received in cash and recognised as rebate revenue in the period the underlying expenses have been incurred.

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(c) Property, Plant & Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the economic entity includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate Plant and equipment 15 - 33 %
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.
(d) Financial Instruments
Recognition and Initial Measurement
Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2015
BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Financial Instruments (continued)
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity is no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
- (i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for the purpose of profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for cash flow hedging purposes, or designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
- (ii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
- (iii) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that are not classified in any of the other categories.
Listed shares held by the Group that are traded in an active market are classified as AFS and are stated at fair value. The Group also has investments in unlisted shares that are not traded in an active market but that are also classified as AFS financial assets and stated at fair value (because the directors consider that fair value can be reliably measured). 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.
- (iv) Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and valuation models using non-market inputs prepared by independent experts.
Impairment
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale equity financial instruments, a significant or prolonged decline in the value of the instrument below cost is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
28
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Financial Instruments (continued)
Assets carried at amortised cost
For loans and receivables, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.
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 (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Assets classified as available-for-sale
If there is objective evidence of impairment for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment losses on equity instruments that were recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss in a subsequent period.
If the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases in a subsequent period and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
(e) Impairment of Assets
The group reviews non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill, and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. 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 the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit” or “CGU”). An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(f) Investments in Associates
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for in the parent entity financial statements using the cost method and in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The equity method of accounting recognises the Group’s share of post-acquisition reserves of its associates.
The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment.
Dividends receivable from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s profit or loss, while in the consolidated financial statements they reduce the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured longterm receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Where an investment is classified as a financial asset in accordance with AASB 139, at the date significant influence is achieved, the fair value of the investment needs to be assessed. Any fair value gains are recognised in accordance with the treatment the classification the financial asset as required by AASB 139.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition 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, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
(g) Intangibles
Research
Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred.
Patents and Trademarks
Patents and trademarks are recognised at cost of acquisition. Patents and trademarks have a finite life and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Patents and trademarks are amortised over their useful life of 10 years.
(h) Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Short term employee benefits have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Long term employee benefits have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits using the corporate bond rate.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2015
BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(i) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
(j) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
(k) Revenue and Other Income
Interest revenue 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 revenue is accrued on a timely basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.
Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.
Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(l) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.
Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(m) Trade and other payables
Liabilities are recognized for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to the consolidated entity. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days.
(n) Share based payments
The fair value of options granted under the Company’s Employee Option Plan is recognized as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognized over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options.
The fair value at grant date is independently determined using an appropriate option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(n) Share based payments (continued)
The fair value of the options granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. At each statement of financial position date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to vest. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the sharebased payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to share capital.
(o) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker, the directors (see Note 23).
(p) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
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.
(q) Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information.
Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
Key judgements — Provision for Impairment of Loans Receivables
Included in the accounts of the Consolidated entity are amounts from current loan receivables of $97,625 (2014: $97,625) and non-current loan receivables of $2,108,025 (2014: $2,995,145). During the period the Company raised a provision against its unsecured loans with Cortical Dynamics Ltd and Molecular Discovery Systems Ltd resulting in a non-cash expense of $1,084,370. This provision can be reversed upon payment of the loans.
Key Judgments —Impairment of Intangible Assets
No impairment has been recognised in respect of intangible assets for the year ended 30 June 2015 (2014: $nil). The directors believe that the carrying value of all intangibles is appropriate after reviewing the status of each entity’s developments. The directors are confident that the products will provide the necessary returns to the Company.
Key Judgments —Provision for impairment of Investments in Associates
The directors have obtained an independent expert’s valuation report at year end which supports the recoverable amount of the investments in associates of $20,077,753 (2014: $48,640,707).
Investment in Molecular Discovery Systems
The recoverable amount of the investment in Molecular Discovery Systems Limited was greater than the carrying amount of the investment and hence no impairment loss was recognised (2014: $736,965) – refer to note 13.

(r) Application of New and Revised Accounting Standards
New and amended standards adopted in the current year
The group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing 1 July 2014:
-
AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial
-
Assets
-
AASB 2013-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Novation of Derivatives and
-
Continuation of Hedge Accounting
-
Interpretation 21 Accounting for Levies
-
AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards
The adoption of these standards did not have any impact on the current period or any prior period and is not likely to affect future periods.
New standards not yet adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2015 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the group. The group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities and introduces new rules for hedge accounting. In December 2014, the AASB made further changes to the classification and measurement rules and also introduced a new impairment model. These latest amendments now complete the new financial instruments standard.
AASB 9 must be applied for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. Based on the transitional provisions in the completed IFRS 9, early adoption in phases was only permitted for annual reporting periods beginning before 1 February 2015. After that date, the new rules must be adopted in their entirety.
The standard is not expected to have a material impact on the group’s financial instruments.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
AASB has issued a new standard for the recognition of revenue. This will replace AASB 118 which covers contracts for goods and services and AASB 111 which covers construction contracts. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer – so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards.
The standard permits a modified retrospective approach for the adoption. Under this approach entities will recognise transitional adjustments in retained earnings on the date of initial application (eg 1 July 2017), i.e. without restating the comparative period. They will only need to apply the new rules to contracts that are not completed as of the date of initial application.
AASB 15 is mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2017. Management is currently assessing the impact of the new rules. At this stage, the group is not able to estimate the impact of the new rules on the group’s financial statements. The group will make more detailed assessments of the impact over the next twelve months.

The impairment loss has been recorded in the statement of profit and loss. In 2011 the Group, made a fair value adjustment of $21,450,000 ($15,015,000 net of tax) to the investment in Advent Energy Limited, as a result of the move from an available for sale to equity accounting. Under Australian Accounting Standards, the impairment loss cannot be recognised against the reserve and must be recognised in the profit and loss. Following the decline of the price of oil and oil equivalents during the period the fair value of Advent, in line with other companies. As a result management recorded an impairment loss of $27,959,823. Under the Australian Accounting Standards the loss cannot be written off against the reserve and hence has been recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Based on a valuation prepared by an independent expert and recent commercial discussions, management have made an assessment and believe that there is a material change in the fair value of their investments at reporting date.

Valuation processes
The directors informally assess the fair value of its investments biannually. A formal assessment is performed as necessary by obtaining an external independent valuation report. The fair value of the Group’s investment in Advent Energy Ltd as at 30 June 2015 has been supported by a valuation report prepared at 30 June 2015 by an independent expert valuer. The expert holds appropriate qualifications and recent experience in the valuation of investments of this nature. The fair value was determined using the expected monetary value and enterprise value valuation methods; valuation estimations have been undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the Valmin Code (2005) for the technical assessment and valuation of mineral and petroleum assets.
Valuation inputs and relationships to fair value
The following table summaries the quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in level 3 fair value measurements. See above for the valuation techniques adopted.

The consolidated group’s associate Advent Energy Ltd has current commitments for its exploration permits of $4,647,500 over the next 12 months. To assist in meeting these commitments, the group is continually seeking and reviewing potential sources of both equity and debt funding. Advent is currently in negotiations with a number of parties on the terms of investment and management has confidence that a suitable outcome will be achieved however there is no certainty at this stage that those discussions will result in further funding being made available.
To manage the exploration commitments (which include Asset Energy completing 200km of 2D seismic within the PEP 11 area by 12 August 2015) and in connection with the ongoing commercial negotiations, Advent Energy’s wholly owned subsidiary, Asset Energy, lodged an application in respect of Petroleum Exploration Permit 11 (“PEP11”) with the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator (“NOPTA”) prior to 30 June 2015 to vary a condition of PEP11, suspend the years 2 and 3 work commitments and request a subsequent extension of the PEP11 permit term. NOPTA is currently assessing the application.
Asset Energy has invested over $25 million in the PEP11 title in recent history, and, along with its JV partner Bounty Oil and Gas NL, is committed to continuing to explore for and ultimately exploit any petroleum accumulations which may be identified in this title area.

13. Investments accounted for using the equity method (continued)
In addition to the 2D seismic commitment, Advent Energy is committed to drill an exploration well by the end of March 2016 for EP 386. These 2 commitments comprise the significant balance of $4,647,500.
The application to vary a condition of the title and suspend the years 2 and 3 work commitments was prepared following discussions with NOPTA, however a decision has not been received by the Company from NOPTA.
The above conditions indicate the uncertainty that may affect the ability of the group to realise the carrying value of the Groups’ investment in Advent Energy Limited n the ordinary course of business.

22. Financial Risk Management
a) Financial Risk Management
The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, investments, accounts receivable and payable, and loans to and from subsidiaries. The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for Group operations policies.
i. Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and equity price risk.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is managed with a mixture of fixed and floating rate financial assets. The group’s financial liabilities are currently not exposed to interest rate risk as the group has no interest bearing financial liabilities.

22. Financial Risk Management (continued)
a) Financial Risk Management (continued)
i. Financial Risk Exposures and Management (continued)
Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.
Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The directors obtained an independent expert’s valuation report at year end which supports the recoverable amount of loan receivables. The recoverable amount exceeded the carrying value of the loans and hence no impairment loss was recognised.
Foreign currency risk
The Group is not exposed to any material risks in relation to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
b) Financial Instruments
i. Interest rate risk
The economic entity’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities, based on contractual maturities, is as follows:
Consolidated Group

ii. Fair Values
The fair values of:
-
Term receivables are determined by discounting the cash flows, at the market interest rates of similar securities, to their present value.
-
Other loans and amounts due are determined by discounting the cash flows, at market interest rates of similar borrowings to their present value.
-
For unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market, the fair value has been based on valuation techniques incorporating non-market data prepared by independent valuers.
No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form.

iii. Sensitivity Analysis
Interest Rate Risk
The Group has performed sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk at balance date. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks.
The effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be as follows:
| constant would be as follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Consolidated | Group | |
| 2015 | 2014 | |
| Change in profit | ||
| — Increase in interest rate 1% | 986 | 9,005 |
| — Decrease in interest rate by 0.5% | (483) | (4,503) |
iv. Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Liquidity is the risk that the company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.
The following are the contractual maturities at the end of the reporting period of financial liabilities.

(c) Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.
-
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
-
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
There were no transfers between and of the levels for recurring fair value measurements during the year.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
- For unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market, the fair value has been based on valuation techniques incorporating non-market data prepared by independent valuers.

Based on valuations prepared by independent experts, management have made an assessment and believe that there is no material change in the fair value of their investments at reporting date
The fair value of the Group’s investment in Cortical Dynamics as at 30 June 2015 has been arrived at on the basis of a valuation performed on 30 June 2014 by an independent expert valuer to the company. The valuer holds the appropriate qualifications and recent experience in the valuation of investments of this nature. The fair value was determined using the relative valuation methodology. The approach considers the value of broadly
comparable listed entities which are at a similar stage of biotechnology product life cycle to Cortical Dynamics. The valuation supported the carrying value of BPH’s AFS investment in the company.
23. Operating Segment
Operating segments have been identified on the basis of internal reports of the Company that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of BPH Energy Limited
Report on the financial report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of BPH Energy Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ responsibility for the financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 . This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 1, the directors also state that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
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, we consider internal controls relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report 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 entity’s internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of BPH Energy Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

(b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.
