Chairman’s Letter

BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities

Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to be able to advise on a number of positive developments in what has been a challenging year for your company.

In November 2016 investee Cortical Dynamics Ltd (“Cortical”) was announced as the winner of the Australian Technologies Competition (“ATC”) Advanced Manufacturing category, runner up in the Australian Technology Company of the Year, and runner up in the Med Tech and Pharma category. ATC has established itself as Australia's premier technology accelerator. The competition recognizes those companies which are best positioned to become global success stories .Over the last five years the competition has generated over $250 million dollars in investment and project opportunities for Australian SMEs.

Cortical was also invited by Austrade to attend and present at the Austrade Med Tech Innovation Showcase 2016 held in Korea in September 2016. The showcase was for Australia’s key industry experts and innovative Med Tech companies with senior executives from leading Korean pharma and medical device companies.

Discussions were initiated with a Korean medical device distribution company who approached Cortical seeking the Korean distribution rights. Organised by Austrade, with the support of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (“DFAT”) and the Korean Health Innovation Development Institute (“KHIDI”), the showcase provided a platform for Australian medical technology organisations to meet with Korean businesses that are interested in partnering with Australian technology and solutions providers.

In February 2017, the European Patent Office granted Cortical a further patent titled, ‘Brain function monitoring and display system’ for the Brain Anaesthesia Response (“BAR”) monitoring system. Europe has been estimated to hold over one third of the worldwide electroencephalogram (“EEG”) / EMG / brain function monitoring market.

BPH is of the opinion that the current structure of the board of MEC Resources Limited (“MEC”) has been adverse to ongoing developments in Advent Energy Limited (“Advent”). In July 2017 Advent announced it had submitted its Environmental Plan for approval to NOPSEMA prior to commencement of seismic acquisition activities in PEP11. Advent initially expected to commence its 2D seismic program in the third quarter of 2017, pending regulatory approvals, and has recently announced that this may not occur until as late as the first quarter of 2018.

In February 2017, Advent announced it had received conditional regulatory approval for suspension of the permit work commitments and extension of the term of EP386. The approval from the Western Australian Department of Mines & Petroleum (“DMP”) allows the current EP386 work commitments to be completed by 31 March 2018, subject to regulatory approval. This work appears unlikely to be able to be completed by this time given the likely near term onset of the wet season.

BPH has been involved in discussions and proposals to fund the operations of Advent and continues to do so and has attempted to do so despite ongoing legal actions by MEC and has only taken such steps as it considers necessary to protect its position. In particular, its proposals involve funding initiatives for each of Advent’s projects. BPH is focussed on enabling the drilling of a further well at the Baleen drilling target in PEP11 at the earliest possible opportunity with an objective of doing so as early as 2018 given significantly reduced rig rates and the availability of rigs to achieve this.

The gas prices and gas supply crisis in the east coast market have created a significant market opportunity to raise the funding to drill with the objective of developing the PEP11 project to meet the gas supply shortfall. BPH is committed to do so at the earliest opportunity and is prepared to commit that all supplies from the successful development of this project will be committed to meet only the domestic market.

Review of Operations

BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities

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.

The Sydney Basin is a proven petroleum basin with excellent potential for the discovery of gas. 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 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. A high resolution 2D seismic survey is planned to assist in the drilling of the Baleen target approximately 30 km south of Newcastle.

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.

Investment in Biotechnology Companies

BPH Energy’s existing Biotechnology investments include its 3.89% interest in Cortical Dynamics Limited (and its 20% interest in Molecular Discovery Systems Limited. BPH also has a right to convert debt and increase its shareholding in Cortical to approximately 14 % by a conversion of its loan facilities.

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.

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.

Review of Operations

BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities

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

” ” Molecular Discovery Systems Limited ( MDSystems ) - HLS5 Project:

MDSystems has been 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.

It is anticipated that the work of the Perkins Institute researchers will be prepared for publication. The development of this pre-clinical model may enable MDS to pursue research and partnering relationships with a significant new range of collaborators and investors.

Developments in the Company’s investments include:

Cortical Dynamics Ltd (BPH 4.56% with a right to move to approximately 14%)

In November 2016 Cortical Dynamics Ltd (“Cortical”) was announced as the winner of the Australian Technologies Competition (“ATC”) Advanced Manufacturing category, runner up in the Australian Technology Company of the Year, and runner up in the Med Tech and Pharma category. ATC has established itself as Australia's premier technology accelerator.

Over 130 of Australia’s best technology companies were considered for these awards. Australian and international government partners of the ATC include the Australian Department of Industry, Innovation and Science, Hong Kong Trade & Development Council and UK Trade & Investment.

Cortical Chairman, Mr David Breeze, presented Cortical’s Brain Function Monitor and met with four of the leading Korean teaching and research hospitals, all of whom expressed interest in using the technology when it became available in Korea.

Having achieved Therapeutic Goods Administration (“TGA”) certification and the CE Mark, Cortical is now able to market the BAR monitor within Australia and Europe, one of the worlds’ largest EEG brain function monitoring

equipment markets. Cortical has signed an initial agreement in Australia and is now negotiating its first distribution agreement for Europe and is receiving distribution enquiries from other international centres.

The BAR monitor is designed to assist anaesthetists and intensive care staff in ensuring patients do not wake unexpectedly, as well as reducing the incidence of side effects associated with the anaesthetic.

During the reporting period Cortical issued 5,400,000 fully paid ordinary shares (including 650,000 issued in July 2017) at an issue price of $0.10 per share to fund its ongoing activities.

Advent Energy Ltd (BPH 27.04%)

The information in this section has been extracted from the ASX announcements of MEC Resources Limited (ASX: MMR), the major shareholder in Advent Energy Ltd.

(i) PEP 11

PEP11 , offshore Sydney Basin adjacent to Newcastle-Sydney offshore New South Wales, is held 85% and operated by Asset Energy Pty Ltd (“Asset”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Advent Energy Ltd (“Advent”).

Gas prices on the east coast have risen to extreme levels in the last year as cold weather and rising demand from the Queensland LNG projects has resulted in short-term wholesale gas prices in Sydney up to nearly $29 per gigajoule (GJ). This price spike means that industrial gas buyers relying on the spot market for gas supplies will be paying more than three times as much as Japan is paying for importing LNG. With the NSW onshore gas industry in turmoil and the declining reserves in the Bass Strait and Cooper Basin, Advent Energy is pushing ahead with a focussed seismic campaign around a key potential drilling prospect in PEP11 in the offshore Sydney Basin.

PEP11 holds significant structural targets potentially capable of comprising multi-Tcf natural gas resources. The offshore Sydney Basin has been lightly explored to date, including a multi-vintage 2D seismic data coverage and a single exploration well, New Seaclem-1 (2010). Its position as the only petroleum title offshore New South Wales provides a significant opportunity should natural gas be discovered in commercial quantities in this petroleum title. It lies adjacent to the Sydney-Newcastle region and the existing natural gas network servicing the east coast gas market.

Advent’s two core prospects in PEP11 have previously been calculated via external assessment to have the potential for un-risked (P50) prospective gas resources of 472 and 2,131 billion cubic feet (“BCF”) respectively, with multi-trillion cubic feet upside (“multi-TCF”, Pmean). This resource assessment was originally comprised within the independent expert report disclosed to the ASX on 22 December 2010 and has not materially changed since that date.

In July 2017 Advent submitted its Environmental Plan (“EP”) for approval to the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environment Management Authority (“NOPSEMA”) prior to commencement of seismic acquisition activities in PEP11. Advent expects to commence its 2D seismic program in the third quarter of 2017 or early 2018, pending regulatory approvals. The survey will acquire high resolution 2D seismic data over the Baleen prospect, and will evaluate (amongst other things) shallow geohazard indications including shallow gas accumulations that can affect future potential drilling operations.

(ii) EP386 and RL1

EP386 and RL1 are held by Advent’s 100% subsidiary Onshore Energy Pty Ltd. The petroleum titles lie in the onshore Bonaparte Basin, one of Australia’s most prolific hydrocarbon producing basins. This field lies immediately adjacent to the Project Sea Dragon aquaculture project proposed by the Seafarms Group which is planned to potentially grow to a 100,000 tonne export project. This project has Major Project Status across multiple jurisdictions, and Advent Energy has previously signed a letter of intent for the potential supply of natural gas to Project Sea Dragon. . The petroleum wells Waggon Creek-1, Vienta-1 (EP386) and Weaber-4 (RL1) are cased and suspended as future producers.

In February 2017 Advent received conditional regulatory approval for suspension of the permit work commitments and extension of the term of EP386. Advent has submitted a preliminary proposed well intervention program to the designated authority for consideration. .

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 2016 financial accounts was adopted at the Company’s 2016 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 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.

Directors’ Report BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities

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. The maximum pool of non-executive director fees approved by shareholders is $250,000. 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.

Employment Contracts of Directors and Senior Executives

The employment conditions of the Managing Director, David Breeze, is formalised in a Product Development Agreement. The engagement is automatically extended for a period of 2 years at each anniversary date unless the Managing Director or the Company give notice of termination prior to the expiry of each term. The agreement stipulates the Managing Director may terminate the engagement with a six month notice period. The company may terminate the agreement 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 up to twelve 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 lapse.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2017

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 entity’ 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 29 September 2017 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.

Financial Position

The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts, including potential capital raisings, which indicate that the consolidated entity should 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 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.

The consolidated entity is involved in a legal dispute with MEC Resources Ltd. Should the consolidated entity not be successful in raising additional funds through the issue of new equity, should the need arise, or should there be an unfavourable outcome in the legal dispute with MEC Resources Ltd, this may cast doubt as to whether or not the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore, whether it will realise its assets and discharge its liabilities as and when they fall due and in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relative to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or, to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2017

BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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).

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.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2017

BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(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.

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.

(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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2017

BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Property, Plant & Equipment (continued)

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.

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.

BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(d) Financial Instruments (continued)

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.

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.

(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.

The consolidated entity discontinues the use of the equity method from the date when the investment ceases to be an associate or a joint venture, or when the investment is classified as held for sale. When the a consolidated entity retains an interest in the former associate or joint venture and the retained interest is a financial asset, the consolidated entity measures the retained interest at fair value at that date and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition in accordance with AASB 139. The difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture at the date the equity method was discontinued, and the fair value of any retained interest and any proceeds from disposing of a part interest in the associate or joint venture is included in the determination of the gains or loss on disposal of the associate or joint venture. In addition, the consolidated entity accounts for all amounts previously recognised other comprehensive income in relation to that associate or joint venture on the same basis as would be required if that associate or joint venture had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income by that associate or joint venture would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the consolidated entity reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) when the equity method is discontinued.

(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.

(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

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.

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(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 entity. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 45 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.

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 27).

(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 loan receivables

Included in the accounts of the consolidated entity are secured and unsecured loan receivables of $2,071,467 (2016: $2,337,984). The Company raised a provision against its unsecured loans of $551,167 in the reporting period (2016: $Nil). This provision can be reversed upon payment of the loans.

Key judgements —Impairment of intangible assets

An impairment charge of $72,454 has been recognised by a subsidiary in respect of intangible assets (2016: $Nil). The carrying value of intangibles at 30 June 2017 was $Nil (2016: $72,454).

Key judgements — Investment in Advent Energy Ltd (“Advent”)

As of 1 January 2017 a judgement was made that, despite owning 27% of Advent, the Company no longer exercised significant influence over Advent and it ceased to be treated as an associate entity from that date. In particular, the Company was not involved in the operational decision making of Advent and did not have access to its operational and financial records.

The discontinuation of equity accounting for this associate triggered a re-assessment of the fair value of the investment in Advent resulting in an expense of $1,308,563 (2016: $Nil).- refer to Note 13.

Key estimates - Investment in Molecular Discovery Systems

The recoverable amount of the investment in Molecular Discovery Systems Limited is considered greater than the carrying amount of the investment and hence no impairment loss was recognised – refer to Note 13.

Key estimates - Investment in Cortical

The recoverable amount of the investment in Cortical was considered greater than the carrying amount of the investment and hence no impairment loss was recognised – refer to Note 10.

(r) Application of New and Revised Accounting Standards

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 30 June 2017

In the year ended 30 June 2017, 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

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been publishes that are not mandatory for 30 June 2017 reporting periods. Those which may have a significant to the Group are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments (2014)

AASB 9 (2014), published in December 2014, replaces the existing guidance AASB 9 (2009), AASB 9 (2010) and AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted.

The new standard results in changes to accounting policies for financial assets and liabilities covering classification and measurement, hedge accounting and impairment. The Group has assessed these changes and determined that based on the current financial assets and liabilities held at reporting date, the Group will need to reconsider its accounting policies surrounding impairment recognition. The new impairment requirements for financial assets are based on a forward looking 'expected loss model' (rather than the current 'incurred loss model').

The Group does not expect a significant effect on the financial statements resulting from the change of this standard however the Group is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new financial instrument standard. The changes in the Group's accounting policies from the adoption of AASB 9 will be applied from 1 July 2018 onwards.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

AASB 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised, including in respect of multiple element arrangements. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue and AASB 1004 Contributions. AASB 15 is effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted.

The core principle of AASB 15 is that it requires identification of discrete performance obligations within a transaction and associated transaction price allocation to these obligations. Revenue is recognised upon satisfaction of these performance obligations, which occur when control of goods or services is transferred, rather than on transfer of risks and rewards. Revenue received for a contract that includes a variable amount is subject to revised conditions for recognition, whereby it must be highly probable that no significant reversal of the variable component may occur when the uncertainties around its measurement are removed.

The Group's current income is interest income, therefore AASB 15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Group. This however may change depending on the income streams in place when the AASB15 is effective in the financial year beginning 1 July 2018.

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(r) Application of New and Revised Accounting Standards (continued)

AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 replaces the current AASB 17 Leases standard. AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases- for the lessee - effectively treating all leases as finance leases. Most leases will be capitalised on the balance sheet by recognising a Vight-of-use' asset and a lease liability for the present value obligation. This will result in an increase in the recognised assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position as well as a change in expense recognition, with interest and deprecation replacing operating lease expense.

Lessor accounting remains similar to current practice, i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance and operating leases.

AASB 16 is effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, with early adoption permitted for entities that also adopt AASB 15.

This standard will primarily affect the accounting for the operating leases. As at 30 June 2017, the Group did not have any non-cancellable operating lease commitments, however the potential impact will be dependent on the lease arrangements in place when the new standard is effective. The Group has commenced the process of evaluating the impact of the new lease standard.

No other new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are expected to affect the Group's consolidated financial statements.

(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 the Company has the right to conversion to satisfy the debt on or before the termination date.

The Company has a convertible loan agreement with MDS at an interest rate of 7.69% per annum. The loan is for a maximum amount of $500,000 and is to be used for short term working capital requirements. Subject to MDS being admitted to the Official List of ASX (“Official List”), BPH Energy has a right of conversion to satisfy the debt on or before the termination date, being 26 November 2018. As at reporting date the loan had been drawn down by an amount of $547,167, including capitalised interest (2016: $502,000). Interest charged on the loan for the period was $45,166 (2016: $28,341). During the reporting period the Company recognised a loan provision of $551,167 resulting in the loan being fully provided for at period end.

The Company has two convertible loan agreements with Cortical. One loan is for a maximum amount of $500,000 at an interest rate of 8.16% per annum 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, being 19 November 2018. As at reporting date the loan had been drawn down by an amount of $584,411, including capitalised interest (2016: $533,561). Interest charged on the loan for the period was $50,850.

(a) Secured loans (continued)

On 28th February 2012 BPH Energy entered into a second convertible loan agreement with Cortical. The facility is for an amount of $1,000,000 at an interest rate of 9.4% per annum 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. BPH Energy has a right of conversion to satisfy the debt on or before the termination date, being 28 February 2019. As at reporting date the loan had been drawn down by an amount of $1,322,078, including capitalised interest (2016: $1,204,878). Interest charged on the loan for the period was $117,201.

(b) As of 1 January 2017 a judgement was made that, despite owning 27% of Advent, the Company no longer exercised significant influence over Advent and it ceased to be treated as an associate entity from that date. In particular, the Company was not involved in the operational decision making of Advent and did not have access to its operational and financial records. The discontinuation of equity accounting for this associate triggered a re-assessment of the fair value of the investment in Advent as required by accounting standards resulting in a fair value loss expense of $1,308,563 (2016: $Nil). Advent’s carrying value of its exploration assets in its 30 June 2017 audited financial statements was over $28 million.

Advent and its subsidiaries have reported current commitments for its exploration permits of $20,522,500 over the next 12 months. To assist in meeting these commitments, both MEC and Advent have stated they are continually seeking and reviewing potential sources of both equity and debt funding. Advent has stated it is currently in negotiations with a number of parties on the terms of investment and its 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 Advent’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. This application and those made by Advents for EP386 may not be approved. 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 2018 for EP 386.

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. Other projects may impact the ability of Advent to raise funds.

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 Asset Energy from NOPTA. The above conditions indicate the uncertainty that may affect the ability of the Group to realise the carrying value of its investment in Advent in the ordinary course of business. The valuation is dependent on approvals for variations and extension to work programs being approved by government.

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.

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.

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.

Equity price risk

The Group is exposed to equity price risk through its shareholdings in publicly listed entities. Material investments are managed on an individual basis.

Foreign currency risk

The Group is not exposed to any material risks in relation to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

b) Financial Instruments

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 with floating rates, based on contractual maturities, is as follows:

2017 Consolidated Weighted Effective Interest Rate %	Floating Interest Rate $	Fixed Interest Rate 1 Year or less Fixed Interest Rate 1 to 5 Years Non- Interest Bearing $ Total $

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.

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 variable interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be as follows:

	Consolidated	Consolidated
	2017	2016
	$	$
Change in loss
— Increase in interest rate 1%	5,341	621
— Decrease in interest rate by 0.5%	(267)	(310)

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 consolidated financial liabilities.

22. Financial Risk Management (continued)

The following table provides an analysis of consolidated 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of BPH Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of BPH Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the consolidated entity”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the consolidated entity is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the consolidated entity in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“the Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern , we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report .

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Valuation of financial assets

Note 10 in the financial report

The consolidated entity has financial assets of loan receivables totalling $2,071,467, financial assets and available for sale financial assets at fair value of $3,157,950 at balance date. The consolidated entity recorded a provision against its loan receivables of $551,167.

We considered this to be a key audit matter as it is important to users’ understanding of the financial statements as a whole and involves judgement in relation to the determination of fair value.

Our procedures included but were not limited to the following:

We considered the ability of the other party to repay its loan with the consolidated entity to determine if any additional provisions were required.
- We assessed the consolidated entity's valuation of individual investment holdings. Where readily observable data was available, we sourced that independently.
For investments where there was less or little observable market data, including level 2 and 3 holdings as disclosed in note 22, we obtained and assessed other relevant valuation data.
We assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures included in the relevant notes to the financial report.

Loss of significant influence in Advent Energy

Notes 3 and 10 in the financial report

During the year the consolidated entity lost significant influence over Advent Energy Limited and it ceased to be treated as an associate. The discontinuation of equity accounting for this associate triggered a re-assessment of the fair value of the investment in Advent as required by accounting standards resulting in a fair value loss on reclassification of $1,308,563 after accounting for the extinguishment of the related asset revaluation reserve

This was considered a significant event for the consolidated entity. Accounting for this reclassification is complex and involves judgement in relation to the determination of fair value.

Our procedures included but were not limited to the following:

We examined the available facts to determine if the consolidated entity still had significant influence over Advent Energy Limited.
We examined the accounting for the reclassification from associate to available for sale financial assets with regards to the relevant accounting standards.
We considered the estimation of the fair value in relation level 2 and 3 inputs as disclosed in note 22 and we considered and assessed other relevant valuation data.
We assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures included in the relevant notes to the financial report.

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the consolidated entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

==> picture [176 x 61] intentionally omitted <==

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the directors 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 preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the consolidated entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 consolidated entity’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the consolidated entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

==> picture [176 x 61] intentionally omitted <==

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
