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 Ltd (“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.

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

1

Directors’ Report BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities

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 gross 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”)

MDSystems was established to acquire high content information from large scale sample analysis to create a range of direct and indirect commercial opportunities. Research and development is focused on oncology drug discovery and further validating HLS5 as a novel tumour suppressor gene.

Drug Discovery:

MDSystems has core expertise in high-content imaging and analysis. MDSystems’ owned IN Cell Analyser 1000 (GE Healthcare) is a semi-automated cellular imaging and analysis platform that combines high-resolution imaging and high-content analysis and is ideally suited for screening compounds that modulate complex cellular responses. The IN Cell Analyser 1000 is utilised for the discovery and development of new cancer drugs.

However, in 2014 after careful consideration of general market conditions and available resources, MDSystems made a decision to indefinitely suspend its early stage drug discovery program. This change was made effective from July 2014.

HLS5 Project:

MDSystems is working with the Molecular Cancer Research Group at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research to validate HLS5 as a novel tumour suppressor gene, particularly for liver cancer.

The researchers at the Perkins Institute originally identified HLS5 (TRIM35) as a tumour suppressor associated with leukemia. However, in a separate study conducted in China, low levels of HLS5 (TRIM35) was found to correlate with human liver cancer development, and that reduced HLS5 (TRIM35) expression could potentially be used as prognostic marker for the disease.

In a significant further phase of this research the Perkins Institute researchers have developed a pre-clinical model of liver cancer and have demonstrated, in this model that removing the expression of HLS5 (TRIM35) can accelerate the development of liver disease.

Research undertaken by the Perkins Institute team, and laboratories in China, has revealed that HLS5 (TRIM35) is capable of slowing the growth of tumour cells in culture, including suppression of liver cancer cells.

Liver cancer ranks as the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in developing countries. An estimated 782,500 new cases of liver cancer and 745,500 deaths occurred worldwide in 2012, of which China alone accounted for almost 50% of cases. While survival rates for many cancers have improved over the past two decades, there has been no major improvement in liver cancer prognosis.

Liver cancer also looms as one of Australia’s greatest cancer challenges, with new analyses predicting increased mortality from the disease in the future. At present, limited treatment options exist for patients with liver cancer.

Cortical Dynamics Limited (“Cortical”):

Cortical 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.

During the year Cortical has achieved a major milestone in the commercialisation of its Brain Anaesthesia Response Monitor (BAR). Cortical received notification from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (“TGA”) that a decision was made to issue a conformity assessment certificate to Cortical under section 41EC of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989. In addition to this Cortical also received notification that to it would be issued MRA EC certificates (“CE Mark”) under the Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) with the European Union therefore allowing the CE mark to be applied to the BAR monitor.

Having achieved TGA certification and the CE Mark, Cortical is now able to market the BAR monitor within Australia and Europe.

Further to the above Cortical signed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Device Technologies Australia (“Device”) for the BAR Monitor. Under the LOI Device will have exclusive distribution rights for Australia and New Zealand for the sale of products for a period of six (6) months. Subject to the overall market assessment outcome Device will have the right to continue the exclusive distribution rights for an additional 4 and a half (4.5) years.

Financial Position

The Consolidated Group has incurred a net loss for the year ended 30 June 2016 of $511,446 (2015: loss of $26,490,513) and has a net cash outflow from operating activities of $218,606 (2015: $424,043). The Group has a working capital deficit of $1,988,138 (note 17 b) (2015: $1,546,221).

The net assets of the Consolidated Group decreased by $425,389 to $20,314,026 at 30 June 2016.

Included in trade creditors and payables is director fee accruals of $1,151,613 (2015: $947,380). The directors have reviewed their expenditure and commitments for the Consolidated Group 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.

On 1 June 2016 BPH announced a Share Purchase Plan. Under the SPP eligible shareholders would be entitled to purchase up to a maximum of $15,000 worth of shares at a price of $0.00533 per share. The offer was capped to a maximum of 30% of the Company’s share capital. The plan closed on 5 July 2016 significantly oversubscribed with an amount of approximately $374,000 being raised. Further to the SPP the Company also undertook a placement to professional and sophisticated investors who were existing shareholders of the Company. Under the placement a further $245,000 was raised.

The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts that indicate that the Consolidated Group will have sufficient cash flows for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report.

Directors’ Report BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities

Based on the cash flow forecasts including directors voluntarily suspending cash payments for their director fees 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.

Directors’ Report BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities

Key Management Personnel

The Directors and other key management personnel of the Group during or since the end of the financial year were :

D L Breeze - Executive Chairman and Managing Director

T Fontaine – Non Executive Director

G Gilbert – Non Executive Director (appointed 4 March 2016)

  • B Whan – Non-Executive Director

  • D Ambrosini –Company Secretary

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 2015 financial accounts was adopted at the Company’s 2015 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 Company, 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 Company 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 Company’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 Company. 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.

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 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2016

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 26th August 2016 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 Group has incurred a net loss for the year ended 30 June 2016 of $511,446 (2015: loss of $26,490,513) and has a net cash outflow from operating activities of $218,606 (2015: $424,043). The Group has a working capital deficit of $1,988,138 (note 17 b) (2015: $1,546,221).

The net assets of the Consolidated Group decreased by $425,389 to $20,314,026 at 30 June 2016.

Included in trade creditors and payables is director fee accruals of $1,151,613 (2015: $947,380). The directors have reviewed their expenditure and commitments for the Consolidated Group 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.

On 1 June 2016 BPH announced a Share Purchase Plan. Under the SPP eligible shareholders would be entitled to purchase up to a maximum of $15,000 worth of shares at a price of $0.00533 per share. The offer was capped to a maximum of 30% of the Company’s share capital. The plan closed on 5 July 2016 significantly oversubscribed with an amount of approximately $374,000 being raised. Further to the SPP the Company also undertook a placement to professional and sophisticated investors who were existing shareholders of the Company. Under the placement a further $245,000 was raised.

The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts that indicate that the Consolidated Group will have sufficient cash flows for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report.

Based on the cash flow forecasts including directors voluntarily suspending cash payments for their director fees the directors are satisfied that, the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. The financial report has

18

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2016 BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Financial Position

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 19 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 statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position 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.

19

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2016

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 profit or loss and other 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income 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 statement of profit or loss. 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 Company 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.

(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 Company 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.

22

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2016 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 2016 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.

24

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2016

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 recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to the Consolidated Group. 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 recognised 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.

25

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2016 BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities

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 22).

(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 Group are amounts from receivables of $97,625 (2015: $97,625) and non-current loan receivables of $2,289,308 (2015: $2,108,025). In 30 June 2015 financial year 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 2016 (2015: $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 30 June 2015 which supports the recoverable amount of the investments in associates of $19,915,966 (2015: $20,077,753).

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 (2015: nil) – refer to note 13.

(r) Application of New and Revised Accounting Standards

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 30 June 2016

In the year ended 30 June 2016, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the current annual reporting period.

As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company and, therefore, no material change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

The Directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2016. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material impact, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

10. Financial Assets (continued)

(a) Secured loans

These loans are secured by a charge over all of the assets and undertakings of each entity and interest bearing. Subject to the conditions of the agreement BPH Energy has the right to conversion to satisfy the debt on or before the termination date.

The company has a convertible loan agreement with MDSystems. The loan is for a maximum amount of $500,000 and is to be used for short term working capital requirements. Subject to MDSystems being admitted to the Official list, BPH Energy has a right of conversion to satisfy the debt on or before the termination date. As at reporting date the loan had been drawn down by an amount of $502,000 (2015: $473,659).

The company has two convertible loan agreements with Cortical Dynamics. One loan is for a maximum amount of $500,000 and is to be used for short term working capital requirements. Subject to Cortical being admitted to the Official list, BPH Energy has a right of conversion to satisfy the debt on or before the termination date. As at reporting date the loan had been drawn down by an amount of $533,560 (2015: $490,326).

On 28th February 2012 BPH Energy entered into a second convertible loan agreement with Cortical Dynamics. The facility is for an amount of $1,000,000 and has an annual interest rate of 9.40%. The loan will be used for short term working capital requirements and funding further development of the BAR monitor. The loan is convertible at BPH’s election if Cortical is unsuccessful in its application for admission to the Official List. As at reporting date the loan had been drawn down by an amount of $1,205,286 (2015: $1,095,091) which includes the fully drawn down facility and accrued interest.

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. The fair value of the Group’s investment in MDS has been supported by a recent capital raising completed in MDS in January 2016. MDS successfully completed the capital raising at $0.02 per share.

Advent and its subsidiaries have current commitments for its exploration permits of $5,150,000 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.

In relation to the Group’s exploration commitments (which include Asset Energy Pty Ltd completing 200km of 2D seismic and geotechnical studies within the PEP 11 area by 12 August 2016 Advent’s wholly owned subsidiary, Asset Energy Pty Ltd, lodged an application in respect of Petroleum Exploration Permit 11 (“PEP11”) with the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator (“NOPTA”) prior to 30 June 2016 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 Pty Ltd 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.

In addition to the 2D seismic commitment, Advent is committed to drill an exploration well and perform a seismic survey by the end of March 2017 for EP 386. These 2 commitments comprise the significant balance of $4,797,500.

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 exploration assets in the ordinary course of business.

21. 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.

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

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
2016 2015
Change in profit
— Increase in interest rate 1% 621 986
— Decrease in interest rate by 0.5% (310) (483)

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 as at 30 June 2016 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.

22. 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. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board of Directors. On a regular basis, the board receives financial information on the consolidated entity on a basis similar to the financial statements presented in the financial report, to manage and allocate their resources.

The consolidated entity’s only operating segment is investments. The consolidated entity holds investments in two principal industries and these are biotechnology, and oil and gas exploration and development, as disclosed in Note 13.

23. Events after the Statement of financial position Date

On 1 June 2016 BPH announced a Share Purchase Plan. Under the SPP eligible shareholders would be entitled to purchase up to a maximum of $15,000 worth of shares at a price of $0.00533 per share. The offer was capped to a maximum of 30% of the Company’s share capital. The plan closed on 5 July 2016 significantly oversubscribed with an amount of approximately $374,000 being raised. Further to the SPP the Company also undertook a placement to professional and sophisticated investors who were existing shareholders of the Company. Under the placement a further $245,000 was raised.

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 (“the company”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flow for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration, of the Group 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 of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements , the consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Group’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s and its controlled entities’ internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or management.

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 .

Deborah Ambrosini

1 Under Listing Rule 4.7.3, an entity must lodge with ASX a completed Appendix 4G at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. Listing Rule 4.10.3 requires an entity that is included in the official list as an ASX Listing to include in its annual report either a corporate governance statement that meets the requirements of that rule or the URL of the page on its website where such a statement is located. The corporate governance statement must disclose the extent to which the entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during the reporting period. If the entity has not followed a recommendation for any part of the reporting period, its corporate governance statement must separately identify that recommendation and the period during which it was not followed and state its reasons for not following the recommendation and what (if any) alternative governance practices it adopted in lieu of the recommendation during that period. Under Listing Rule 4.7.4, if an entity chooses to include its corporate governance statement on its website rather than in its annual report, it must lodge a copy of the corporate governance statement with ASX at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The corporate governance statement must be current as at the effective date specified in that statement for the purposes of rule 4.10.3.
