ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2017
CANNINDAH RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The Directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'Consolidated Entity') consisting of Cannindah Resources Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'Company', 'Parent Entity' or ‘Cannindah Resources’) and the entities it controlled for the year ended 30 June 2017.
Directors
The following persons were Directors of Cannindah Resources Limited during the whole of the financial year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:
Thomas J Pickett (Executive Chairman) Laurie G Johnson (Independent Non-Executive Director) Geoffrey J Missen (Independent Non-Executive Director) John Hamilton (Non-Executive Director) – resigned 16 June 2017
Principal activities
During the financial year the principal activities of the consolidated entity consisted of mineral exploration, evaluation and progressing development of its various mineral projects. The Company also considered potential diversification opportunities to take advantage of improved market sentiment enjoyed by companies that have exposure to improving Chinese domestic consumer markets. At the date of this report no investments have been undertaken.
Dividends
There were no dividends paid or declared during the current or previous financial year.
Operating and Financial review
The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $797,189 (2016: loss $966,670).
Corporate Strategy
The Company’s goal, like most other small cap exploration companies, is to preserve shareholder wealth and grow the value of the flagship asset with prudent exploration methods. In the 2017 financial year, the Company also considered potential diversification opportunities to take advantage of improved market sentiment enjoyed by companies that have exposure to improving Chinese domestic consumer markets.
Further, in the 2017 financial year the Company increased its exploration portfolio by gaining access to the Piccadilly Gold Mine and also considered potential diversification opportunities.
Operations
The Company expanded its exploration activities during the year ended 30 June 2017 with the announcement in March of an Agreement with Piccadilly Gold Mine Holdings Limited which provided the Company the right to explore and mine the mining lease ML 1442 held by Piccadilly Gold Mine Holdings Limited known as the ‘Piccadilly Mine’.
Significant sampling and evaluation of the Piccadilly Mine ML 1442 was undertaken by the company with early results indicating a gold system made up of high-grade, gold bearing quartz veining of varying widths at surface. Extensions of the targeted area identified new potential for the Piccadilly Project and the gold grades returned from thicker rock units than the quartz veins. This opened up the potential for bulk tonnage opportunities. Sampling also opened the possibility of gold being present across wider lithological units than first considered.
The results from these investigations gave rise to a broader exploration opportunity being identified and subsequent to the year end, the Company announced that it had signed an Earn-In Agreement with Piccadilly Gold Mines Holdings Limited to allow the Company to explore the EPM’s adjacent to the mining lease, and also an Ore Purchase Agreement with Minjar Gold Pty Ltd (Minjar), the owners of the Pajingo Mine, which provided for Minjar to purchase and treat ore stockpiled at the Piccadilly site on a non-exclusive basis.
During the year the Company continued to hold discussions with interested parties from both domestic and international entities regarding the Mt Borium Project and the Mt Cannindah Project and at the date of this report no Agreements have been signed.

A Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
Non-Executive Directors Remuneration
The company’s constitution provides that the Non-Executive Directors may be paid, as remuneration for their services, a sum determined from time to time by the Company’s Shareholders in a general meeting, with that sum to be divided amongst the Directors in such manner as they agree. The aggregate remuneration ceiling for Non-Executive Directors is currently $300,000 per annum. Additionally, Non-Executive Directors are entitled to be reimbursed for properly incurred expenses.
Non-Executive Directors are remunerated through a combination of fees and may also be granted options over the Company’s shares. The Board does not consider it appropriate to include a short term incentive, or cash bonus element in the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors.
Executive Remuneration
The consolidated entity and Company aim to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration based on their position and responsibility, which is both fixed and variable.
The executive remuneration and reward framework has three components:
-
base pay and non-monetary benefits
-
share-based payments and cash bonuses
-
other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave.
The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.
Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Board of Directors, based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the consolidated entity and comparable market remunerations.
Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration
Because the consolidated entity is in exploration and not production, there is no direct relationship between the consolidated entity's financial performance and the level of remuneration paid to key management personnel.
Use of remuneration consultants
The company did not engage remuneration consultants during the financial year ended 30 June 2017.
B Details of remuneration
Amounts of remuneration

CANNINDAH RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2017
Note 1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. None of the new standards and amendments to standards affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and are not likely to affect future periods.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, and financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Functional and Presentation Currency
The Company’s functional and presentation currency is Australian dollars.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 2.
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 22.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of subsidiaries of Cannindah Resources Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2017 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Cannindah Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.
A subsidiary is any entity controlled by the Company. Control exists where the parent entity is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries and special purpose entities have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.
Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal as applicable.
15
CANNINDAH RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2017
Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
-
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entity's which intend to settle simultaneously.
Cannindah Resources Limited (the 'head entity') and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the group allocation approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.
16
CANNINDAH RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2017
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.
Research and Development Tax Refunds and refunds receivable are recognised as a tax credit.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.
Joint operations
The consolidated group’s share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint venture operations are included in the appropriate items of the consolidated financial statements.
Investments and other financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.
Impairment of financial assets
The consolidated entity assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Objective evidence includes significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor; a breach of contract such as default or delinquency in payments; the lender granting to a borrower concessions due to economic or legal reasons that the lender would not otherwise do; it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; the disappearance of an active market for the financial asset; or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows.
The amount of the impairment allowance for loans and receivables carried at amortised cost is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. If there is a reversal of impairment, the reversal cannot exceed the amortised cost that would have been had the impairment not been recognised and is reversed to profit or loss.
Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
17
CANNINDAH RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2017
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:
Plant and equipment 20-33%
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.
Leases
Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pretax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
Borrowings
Borrowings are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Finance costs
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the
18
CANNINDAH RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2017
obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Employee benefits
Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in current liabilities in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Non-accumulating sick leave is expensed to profit or loss when incurred.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:
-
during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.
-
from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and
19
CANNINDAH RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2017
any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.
Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Other equity
Convertible notes which are settled for a fixed amount of cash; may only be converted into a fixed number of shares and may not be redeemed for cash or other financial asset, are treated as other equity.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Cannindah Resources Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.
Going Concern
The Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As disclosed in the financial statements, the consolidated entity incurred a loss of $797,189 (after research and development tax refunds received and receivable of $264,181) and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $170,705 for the year ended 30 June 2017.
On 10 March 2015, the Company entered into a secured loan facility with a private investor (the Lender) to fund the company’s ongoing exploration and administration costs. Under the terms of the loan the facility is due for repayment on 10 March 2018. The Company is considering a number of options to meet this requirement including potential asset sales, capital raisings and negotiating further loan extensions with the Lender.
The Directors also expect that additional funds will be required for the Company to operate and conduct exploration activities over the next 12 months. In this regard, on 21 September 2017, the
20
CANNINDAH RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2017
Company announced that it had executed an Ore Purchase Agreement with Minjar Gold Pty Ltd (Minjar) the owners of the Pajingo Mine, which provided for Minjar to purchase and treat ore stockpiled at the Piccadilly site on a non-exclusive basis. In addition, the Company has lodged an application for a tax refund of $86,995 (net of claim preparation fees) under the Federal Government’s Research and Development (“R&D”) Tax Incentive program. As a result, the Directors are confident that based on recent experience, these additional funds can be obtained.
Accordingly, the Directors believe that the going concern basis is the appropriate basis for the preparation of the financial report. If for any reason the consolidated entity is unable to continue as a going concern, it would impact on the consolidated entity’s ability to realise assets at their recognised values and to extinguish liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the consolidated financial statements.
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the consolidated entity does not continue as a going concern.
New Accounting Standards for First Time Application in Subsequent Periods
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2017, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Details of these new standards are set out below. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Note 2 Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events; management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
The consolidated entity makes critical judgements in respect of carrying forward exploration and evaluation assets in the Statement of Financial Position. Exploration and evaluation expenditure may be capitalised in certain circumstances. Recoverability of the carrying amount of any exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective areas of interest.
Note 3 Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The consolidated entity has determined its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by both management and the Board of Directors in assessing performance and allocation of resources. As the consolidated entity is still in the exploration phase, the chief operating decision makers review the operations as a whole and therefore consider one segment to be appropriate.

The loan from Aquis Finance Pty Ltd had an initial facility limit of $2 million and was for an initial term of 12 months commencing 10 March 2015, which could be extended to up to 3 years at the election of the Company. Directors extended the facility for a further year in each of March 2016 and in March 2017. Effective from March 2017 the facility limit was increased to $2.7 million to accommodate loan fees and interest payable until the end of the loan term in March 2018.

Note 15 Contributed Equity (continued)
(a) Fully paid ordinary share capital (continued)
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the company in proportion to the number of shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value. On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one vote.
Capital risk management
The consolidated entity's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and fund its operations. The consolidated entity's capital comprises borrowings, ordinary share capital, reserves and accumulated losses as disclosed in the statement of changes in equity. In common with many other exploration companies, the parent raises finance for the consolidated entity's exploration and appraisal activities in discrete tranches.
Management effectively manages the consolidated entity's capital by assessing the consolidated entity's financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market.
There are no externally imposed capital requirements.
The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2017 Financial Report. The consolidated entity monitors capital on the basis of its working capital position (ie liquidity risk). The net working capital of the consolidated entity at 30 June 2017 was $2,333,023 (negative) (2016: $263,477) as a result of reclassifying the loan from Aquis Finance to a current liability.
(b) Options
The Consolidated Entity had no options on issue during the financial years ended 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2016.

Note 18 Financial Instruments
Financial risk management objectives
Risk management is carried out under policies set by the Board of Directors. The Board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas.
The Board monitors and manages the financial risk relating to the operations of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk), price risk and interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The consolidated entity may undertake certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and may become exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.
Price risk
The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant price risk.
Interest rate risk
The economic entity’s exposure to interest rate risk is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.
As at the reporting date, the consolidated entity had the following variable rate investments:
| Weighted | Average Cash | |
|---|---|---|
| Average | Balance | |
| Interest | $ | |
| Rate | ||
| 2017 | ||
| Cash and cash equivalents | 0.67% | 180,979 |
| 2016 | ||
| Cashand cashequivalents | 0.37% | 223,342 |
Sensitivity Analysis
At 30 June 2017, if interest rates had increased/decreased by 200 basis points from the year end rates with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit and total equity for the year would have been $4,825 lower / higher (2016 changes of 200 bps: $4,467 lower/higher), mainly as a result of higher/lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the consolidated entity. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The consolidated entity does not hold any collateral.
The consolidated entity does not have any significant exposure to credit risk from trade receivables. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
27
CANNINDAH RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2017
Note 18 Financial Instruments (continued)
Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.
The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

a Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
b Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001
Basis for Opinion

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 section, 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 |
|---|---|
| Exploration and Evaluation Assets – valuation Note 1 and 11 |
|
| At 30 June 2017 the carrying value of Exploration and Evaluation Assets was $4,158,351. In accordance with AASB 6_Exploration for and_ Evaluation of Mineral Resources, the company is required to assess at each reporting date if there are any triggers for impairment which may suggest the carrying value is in excess of the recoverable value. The process undertaken by management to assess whether there are any impairment triggers in each area of interest involves an element of management judgement. This area is a key audit matter due to the element of estimation and management judgment involved. |
Our procedures included, amongst others: •Obtaining the management prepared reconciliation of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure and agreeing to the general ledger; •Reviewing management’s area of interest considerations against AASB 6; •Conducting a detailed review of management’s assessment of trigger events prepared in accordance with AASB 6 including; - Tracing projects to statutory registers and exploration licenses to determine whether a right of tenure existed - Enquiring of management regarding their intentions to carry out exploration and evaluation activity in the relevant exploration area, including review of managements’ budgeted expenditure; - Understanding whether any data exists to suggest that the carrying value of these exploration and evaluation assets are unlikely to be recovered through development or sale; •Reviewing the appropriateness of the related disclosures within the financial statements. |
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 Group’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 we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
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.

In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability 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 Group 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 the 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.

-
Board Charter;
-
Corporate Code of Conduct;
-
Securities Trading Policy;
-
Ethics and Disclosure Policy;
-
Diversity Policy; and
-
Risk Management Policy
Further information on the Company’s corporate governance policies and practices can be found on the website at www.cannindah.com.au.
Principle 1 – Lay Solid Foundations for Management and Oversight
Role and Responsibilities of the Board and Management
The Board’s primary responsibility is to oversee the company’s business activities and management for the benefit of shareholders which it accomplishes by:
-
establishing corporate governance, and ethical, business standards;
-
setting and monitoring objectives, goals and strategic direction with a view to maximising shareholder value;
-
approving and monitoring budgets and financial performance;
-
ensuring adequate internal controls exist and are appropriately monitored for compliance;
-
ensuring significant business risks are identified and appropriately managed;
-
approving of financial and other reporting, and announcements prior to lodgement with the ASX and release to shareholders;
-
ensuring the composition of the Board is appropriate, selecting directors for appointment to the Board and reviewing the performance of the Board and the contributions of individual directors; and
-
setting remuneration policy;
The Board has delegated responsibilities and authorities to management to enable management to conduct the company’s day to day activities. Matters which are not covered by these delegations, such as approvals which exceed certain limits or do not form part of the approved budget, require Board approval.
.The responsibility for the operation and administration of the Company is delegated by the Board to the Executive Chairman. The Board ensures that the Executive Chairman is appropriately qualified and experienced to discharge his responsibilities and has in place procedures to monitor performance.

CANNINDAH RESOURCES LIMITED CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
Directors, Company Secretary and Executives
In considering the appointment of new Directors, the Board, will conduct appropriate background checks, including education, character, criminal record and bankruptcy checks before the Company appoints a person, or puts forward a new candidate for election as a director.
Each of the Directors and Executives has a written agreement with the company setting out the terms of their appointment.
The Company Secretary is accountable to the Board through the Chairman on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board. All Directors have access to the Company Secretary.
Diversity Policy
The Company recognises that a diverse workforce, senior management and Board can enhance business performance and productivity and has implemented a diversity policy in support of these aims. The Company is committed to promoting an environment which is conducive to the appointment and development of well qualified employees, senior management and Board candidates and to the extent that it is consistent with the current size, nature and complexity of the organisation, to embracing diversity when determining the composition of employees, senior management and the Board. While embracing the concept of diversity, the Board is of the view that at this time and as the Company has a small Board and no other employees, it is inappropriate to establish measurable diversity objectives or targets and to tie diversity objectives to the Key Performance Indicators for the Board.
Performance Evaluation
Due to the size and makeup of the Board, Directors considered that there is significant feedback provided by Board members on the performance of the Board. Accordingly, no performance evaluation was performed during the 2017 financial year.
The Board reviews the performance of the Executive Chairman on an annual basis and will be putting in place a set of key performance indicators which are being established with reference to the Company’s strategy and the Executive Chairman’s individual responsibilities. As the Executive Chairman receives significant feedback on his performance progressively during the period, no formal performance review was conducted during the 2017 financial year. The Executive Chairman is responsible for the review and monitoring of the performance of senior executives where such are engaged.
Principle 2 – Structure the Board to Add Value
At the date of this report, the majority of the Directors of the Company are Independent as defined in the Guidelines.
The names of the members of the Board as at the date of this report and the length of service (in completed years) of each Director are as follows:
-
Thomas J Pickett (Executive Chairman) (3 years)
-
Laurie G Johnson (Independent Non-Executive Director) (3 years)
-
Geoffrey J Missen (Independent Non-Executive Director) (1 year)
When determining whether a non-executive Director is independent the Director must not fail any of the tests included in the Guidelines. The Board have considered the position of the Directors and consider that Messrs Johnson and Missen are “independent” as defined by the Guidelines. Mr Pickett is a substantial shareholder and Executive Chairman of the Company. The Board considers that the appointment of an Executive Chairman is appropriate given the current size of the Company and the nature of its operations.
The skills and qualifications of each of the Directors are set out in the Directors’ Report which accompanies the financial statements. All Directors have considerable experience with backgrounds in mineral exploration, law, finance and business. The Board believes that the level of skill and experience possessed by individual Directors is appropriate for the company’s size and present stage of development.
38
CANNINDAH RESOURCES LIMITED CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
New Directors undergo an induction process in which they are given a full briefing on the Company and its operations. Where possible, this includes meetings with key staff, tours of premises and projects, provision of a due diligence package and presentations from Management.
In order to achieve continuing improvement in Board performance, all Directors are encouraged to undergo continual professional development.
Committees
As at the date of this report, the Company does not have a Nomination or Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors. The full Board of Directors undertakes the role of this Committee. Given the composition of the Board and the size of the company, it is felt that individual nomination and remuneration committees are not yet warranted, however it is expected that as the Company’s operations expand that each of these committees will be established.
The Company has an Audit and Risk Committee the members of which are as follows:
-
Geoffrey J Missen (Independent Non-Executive Director)
-
Laurie G Johnson (Independent Non-Executive Director)
-
John Hamilton (Non-Executive Director) – resigned 16 June 2017
The Committee did not meet during the year referring all matters which might otherwise be delegated to the committee to the full Board. The Board Charter sets out the procedures adopted by the Board to satisfy itself of the matters which may otherwise be dealt with by Committees. The Board Charter may be viewed at the Company’s website at www.cannindah.com.au in the Corporate Governance section.
Independent Professional Advice and Access to Information
Each Director has the right of access to all relevant information in the Company in addition to access to the Company’s executives. Each Director also has the right to seek independent professional advice subject to prior consultation with, and approval from, the chairman. This advice will be provided at the Company’s expense and will be made available to all members of the Board.
Insurance
The Company has in place a Directors and Officers liability insurance policy providing a specified level of cover for current and former Directors and executive Officers of the Company against liabilities incurred whilst acting in their respective capacity.
Principle 3: Promote Ethical and Responsible Decision Making
Code of Conduct
As part of the Board’s commitment to the highest standard of conduct, the Company adopts a code of conduct to guide executives, management and employees in carrying out their duties and responsibilities. The code of conduct covers such matters as:

-
relations with customers and suppliers;

ethical responsibilities;
-
employment practices; and

responsibility to the environment and the community.
