Uzgen Basin Mineral Resource Statement:

During the year, the Company completed its second drill programme at its Uzgen Basin Coking Coal Project located in central-southern Kyrgyzstan. The Company completed 11 drill holes of follow up drilling with 6 in Kargasha for 2,304 metres and undertook its maiden drill programme of 5 drill holes at Kokkia for 1,747meters. All holes successfully intersected coal seams and these intercepts have been confirmed by laboratory analysis. Based on results from the programme, as well as extensive compilation and validation of historical Soviet drilling, the company announced an updated Inferred JORC (2012) resource of 295Mt.

Table 1: Inferred JORC (2012) Code Resources at Uzgen Basin Coking Coal Project

** Note: For Kokkia 25Mt of the estimated Resource is derived from areas outside the last point of observation but has been included in the Resource Statement because of the strong evidence of geological continuity based on adits, trenching and comprehensive geological mapping.

The Inferred Resource of 235 million tonnes at Kargasha is contained in 11 seams across the tenement and is based on the 13 fully cored drill holes completed by Celsius in 2012 and 2013, 54 Soviet era drill holes (approximately 29,000m) SV001-060 completed 1945-1954 and circa 164 adits developed between 1945-1954.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

==> picture [43 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

The Resource estimate at Kokkia is contained in 17 seams and is based on its first drilling programme of 5 holes and extrapolation of the Kargasha Resource model and circa 16 adits / trenches developed between 1942-1954.

For further details on the Company’s JORC resource please refer to the ASX announcement made on 24[th] March, 2014.

This updated statement compares as follows with that from 2013:

2014 Inferred 2013 Inferred Difference Mt
Project Area Resource Mt Resource Mt
Kargasha 235 230 +5
Kokkia** 60 25 +35
Total 295 255 +40

The Company commenced its 2013 drilling programme in July 2013. This program was more extensive than Celsius’ maiden drill program in 2012 and focused more on work to support a mining license application and subsequent production. 2 larger diameter PQ core holes were drilled to procure samples that were used to more accurately determine certain coking coal specifications, particularly coke strength after reaction (CSR). Additionally, environmental base line and geotechnical data will be collected for mining studies.

As part of the drill programme two drill holes, one each at Kargasha and Kokkia were drilled at PQ diameter to provide bulk samples for coke strength testing (CSR). Preliminary testing has been completed and subject to availability of funding further testing will be undertaken in 2014-15. The results of 3 tests ranged between 4-22 below the Chinese steel producers desired minimum strength of 55-60.

Competent Person’s Statement

The information that relates to resource estimates is based on information compiled by Dr Gavin Springbett, a Competent Person who is a Member of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Dr Springbett is acting as a consultant to Celsius Coal Limited and is an employee of G&S Resources. Dr Springbett has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Dr Springbett consents to the inclusion in this document of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Looking to 2014-15

For 2014-15 Celsius has planned:

  • Further review of coking properties, blending opportunities and other options for the Uzgen Basin Coking Coal Project

  • Assessment of nickel assets and search for complementary assets

Due to under-subscription of the Share Purchase Plan, the Company is currently under funded for this work.

Alai Ranges:

The Company has continued its suspension of mining operations its Sary Mogul mine.

In June of 2013, the Company applied to renew the license held for the Bel Alma coal deposit. The Kyrgyz government did not approve the extension of the license, and as of July 27[th] 2013 the current license for this deposit has expired.

The Company has initiated legal action against the Kyrgyz government regarding extension of the license for Bel Alma, this action is expected to take some time before it is resolved. We will provide an update on progress as information becomes available.

MOU:

In March 2014, the Company announced that it has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with Xinjiang Bayi Iron and Steel Group (“Bayi Steel”) and China Minmetals Group (“China Minmetals”). Both of these tier-one Chinese companies have operations in the Chinese province of Xinjiang neighbouring the Kyrgyz Republic.

Infrastructure:

The Kyrgyz Government announced in December 2013 that Chinese funding of US$400 million was available for the construction of the first phase of new north-south road transport route between the capital Bishkek and Jalal-abad near Osh in the south of the country. The road will ultimately form part of a link between the Kyrgyz Republic, China, Kazakhstan and Russia.

The signed funding agreement for construction of the road from Jalal-abad to Bishkek passes through Kazarman, which was Celsius’ operational base for the 2012 exploration season, and will allow easier access to the Company’s Kokkia and Kargasha deposits in the Uzgen Basin.

This transport corridor will provide other options for the transport of Uzgen Basin coal.

West Australian Nickel Assets

Celsius owns two nickel assets in Western Australia. Celsius (through View Nickel Pty Ltd) owns a 30% joint venture interest in the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture in Western Australia with Mincor Resources NL ( Joint Venture ). Mincor Resources NL ( Mincor , ASX:MCR) is the operator of the Carnilya Hill JV. The tenements covered by the Camilya Hill Joint Venture (JV) include Mining Licences M26/47, M26/48, M26/49 and M26/453. Additionally the Company has a 100% interest in the Abengo Hill Nickel Project to the south and west of Minara Resources’ Murrin Murrin nickel mine. The tenements are located near to Minara Resources’ Murrin Murrin mine and the NiWest operation currently under development by GME Resources Ltd and are believed to have potential for both nickel laterite and nickel sulphide mineralisation.

Celsius has initiated a reassessment of its nickel assets in light of the substantial increase in nickel price since the start of 2014. The Company notes its JV partner Mincor Resources NL is currently undertaking an extensive regional exploration campaign (please refer to Mincor’s March 2014 Quarterly Report for further details) and any relevant results from the Carnilya Hill Project will be released as they are received. While mining operations at Carnilya Hill ceased in the first quarter of 2012 access to the decline and other mine infrastructure was maintained so that the opportunity to recommence mining remains intact. Celsius is also finalizing a data compilation and target generation exercise on its Abengo Hill Project for both laterite and sulphide nickel. Once this is completed the Company will consider options for resuming exploration activity or seeking to monetize its nickel assets.

FINANCIAL POSITION

The net assets of the consolidated entity have decreased to $13,048,732 as at 30 June 2014, a decrease of $7,165,072 from net assets of $20,213,804 at 30 June 2013.

The consolidated entity’s net working capital, being current assets less current liabilities is a deficit of $1,613,801 (2013: surplus $2,466,484).

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

On 2 July 2014, the company made a further drawing under their Convertible Note Facility with the Blumont Group and received $100,000 (USD) with the funds to be utilised for exploration expenses and working capital of the consolidated entity.

On 17 July 2014, the company issued 227,062,500 ordinary shares under the Share Purchase Plan (SPP). The issue price was $0.0008 per share representing a 20% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average price (VWAP), providing the company with $181,650.00 in funds.

On 29 August 2014, the company issued 18,750,000 ordinary shares under the Share Purchase Plan (SPP). The issue price was $0.0008 per share representing a 20% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average price (VWAP), providing the company with $15,000 in funds.

Other than the above, the directors are not aware of any other matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated group in future financial years.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS

The Directors believe, on reasonable grounds, that to include in this report particular information regarding likely developments in the operations of the Company and the expected results of those operations in future financial years would be speculative and likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Company. Accordingly, this information has not been included in this report.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

The Company’s operations are not regulated by any significant environmental regulation under a law of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory. The directors have considered the enacted National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the NGER Act) which introduces a single national reporting framework for the reporting and dissemination of information about the greenhouse gas emissions, greenhouse gas projects, and energy use and production of corporations. At the current stage of development, the directors have determined that the NGER Act will have no effect on the Company for the current or subsequent financial year. The directors will reassess this position as and when the need arises.

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited)

This report details the nature and amount of the remuneration for each key management person of Celsius Coal Limited and for the executives receiving the highest remuneration for 30 June 2014.

The remuneration report is set out under the following headings:

  • A Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

  • B Details of remuneration

  • C Service agreements

  • D Share-based compensation

  • E Option holdings F Shareholdings

  • G Performance rights holdings H Related party disclosures

The information provided under headings A-G includes remuneration disclosures that are required under accounting Standard AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures. These disclosures have been transferred from the financial report and have been audited.

A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

In determining competitive remuneration rates, the Board, acting in its capacity as the remuneration committee, seeks independent advice on local and international trends among comparative companies and industry generally. It examines terms and conditions for employee incentive schemes benefit plans and share plans. Independent advice may be obtained to confirm that executive remuneration is in line with market practice and is reasonable in the context of Australian executive reward practices.

The Board recognises that Celsius Coal Limited operates in a global environment. To prosper in this environment we must attract, motivate and retain key executive staff.

Market Comparisons

Consistent with attracting and retaining talented executives, the board endorses the use of incentive and bonus payments. The board will continue to seek external advice to ensure reasonableness in remuneration scale and structure, and to compare the Company’s position with the external market. The impact and high cost of replacing senior employees and the competition for talented executives requires the committee to reward key employees when they deliver consistently high performance.

Board Remuneration

Shareholders approve the maximum aggregate remuneration for non-executive directors, which currently stands at $300,000 per annum, as approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 21 November 2006. The Board determines actual payments to directors and reviews their remuneration annually based on independent external advice with regard to market practice, relativities, and the duties and accountabilities of directors. A review of directors’ remuneration is conducted annually to benchmark overall remuneration including retirement benefits.

Performance-based Remuneration

The Company has established a Performance Rights Plan (PRP) to provide ongoing incentives to Directors, Executives and Employees of the company.

13

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

==> picture [43 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

The objective of the PRP is to provide the Company with a remuneration mechanism, through the issue of securities in the capital of the Company, to motivate and reward the performance of the Directors and employees in achieving specified performance milestones within a specified performance period. The Board will ensure that the performance milestones attached to the securities issued pursuant to the PRP are aligned with the successful growth of the Company’s business activities.

The Directors and employees of the Company have been, and will continue to be, instrumental in the growth of the Company. The Directors consider that the PRP is an appropriate method to:

  • (a) reward Directors and employees for their past performance;

  • (b) provide long term incentives for participation in the Company’s future growth;

  • (c) motivate Directors and generate loyalty from senior employees; and

  • (d) assist to retain the services of valuable Directors and employees.

Group Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Directors and Executives Remuneration

The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase the direct positive relationship between shareholders investment objectives and director’s and executive’s performance. Currently, directors and executives are encouraged to hold shares in the Company to ensure the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Group provides performance based remuneration via their Performance Rights Plan. Currently 25,000,000 Class A Performance Rights under this plan have been issued to Alexander Molyneux in February 2013, which were converted to 16,494,850 ordinary shares in December 2013. A further 25,000,000 Class B Performance Shares under this plan have been issued to Alexander Molyneux in December 2013.

The following summarises the performance of the Group over the last 5 financial years:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2014

==> picture [44 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Celsius Coal Limited and its controlled entities (the “consolidated entity” or “group”). The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Celsius Coal Limited have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 30[th] September 2014 by the directors of the company.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The consolidated entity is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. Except for cash flow information, these financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

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 the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As disclosed in the financial statements, the company and consolidated entity incurred net losses of $3,944,192 and $7,637,002 respectively and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $6,206,358 for the year ended 30 June 2014. As at that date, the company and the consolidated entity had net current liabilities of $729,511 and $1,613,801 respectively.

The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the company and consolidated entity will continue as going concerns, after consideration of the following factors:

  • In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , as occurred subsequent to 30 June 2014 when the Company raised $196,650 under a share purchase plan, the Company has plans to raise further working capital through the issue of equity during the financial year 2015;

  • Subsequent to year end, the Company made a drawing under its Convertible Note Facility with Blumont Group and received US$100,000 and subject to on-going negotiations with the financier, there remains an unutilised amount of AUD$1.18 million available for future use; and

  • The consolidated entity plans to scale down its operations, including corporate overheads, in order to reduce costs for the financial year 2015.

Accordingly, the Directors believe that the company and consolidated entity will be able to continue as going concerns and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report.

The company’s and consolidated entity’s ability to continue as going concerns is mainly dependent on the following factors:

  • obtaining additional working capital through the issue of equity as and when required; and

  • further draw down(s) of the remaining convertible note facility with the Blumont Group.

Should the directors not achieve the matters set out above, there is significant uncertainty whether the company and consolidated entity will continue as going concerns and therefore whether they will realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. 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 company and consolidated entity are not be able to continue as going concerns.

a) Comparatives

  • When required by accounting standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

b) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by Celsius Coal Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Celsius Coal has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities. Control will generally exist where the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated entity have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.

Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, are shown separately within the Equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income. The non-controlling interests in the net assets comprise their interests at the date of the original business combination and their share of changes in equity since that date.

c) Business Combinations

Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses and results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities. A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The acquisition method requires that for each business combination one of the combining entities must be identified as the acquirer (i.e. parent entity). The business combination will be accounted for as at the acquisition date, which is the date that control over the acquiree is obtained by the parent entity. At this date, the parent shall recognise, in the consolidated financial statements, and subject to certain limited exceptions, the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In addition, contingent liabilities of the acquiree will be recognised where a present obligation has been incurred and its fair value can be reliably measured.

The acquisition may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The method adopted for the measurement of goodwill will impact on the measurement of any non-controlling interest to be recognised in the acquiree where less than 100% ownership interest is held in the acquiree.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements. Consideration may comprise the sum of the assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer.

Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the statement of comprehensive income. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.

Included in the measurement of consideration transferred is any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Any obligation incurred relating to contingent consideration is classified as either a financial liability or equity instrument, depending upon the nature of the arrangement. Rights to refunds of consideration previously paid are recognised as a receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value through the statement of comprehensive income unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.

All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement of comprehensive income.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

d) Income tax

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).

Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. 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 assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

Tax consolidation

Celsius Coal Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the Group recognises its own current and deferred tax liabilities, except for any deferred tax liabilities resulting from unused tax losses and tax credits, which are immediately assumed by the parent entity. The group notified the Australian Tax Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 12 August 2003. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax sharing agreement whereby each company in the group contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated group.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

e) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and Presentation Currency

The functional currency of each of the entities in the consolidated entity is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and Balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Nonmonetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised directly in the statement of comprehensive income except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in statement of comprehensive income.

Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency are translated as follows:

  • assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;

  • income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and

  • retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with functional currencies other than Australian dollars are recognised in other comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed.

f) Trade receivables

All trade debtors are recognised at the amounts receivable as they are due for settlement no more than 120 days from the date of recognition.

Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for doubtful debts is raised when some doubt as to collection exists and in any event when the debt is more than 60 days overdue.

g) Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits and financial assets that are carried at fair value and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.

h) 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 asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

30

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2014 (continued)

==> picture [44 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

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 comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

The depreciable amount of all plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The expected useful lives are as follows:

 Plant and equipment 3-5 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

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 comprehensive income.

i) Impairment of assets

At the end of each reporting period, the consolidated entity assesses whether there is any indication that an asset is impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of preacquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in the profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other standard.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the consolidated entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

j) Investments in Associates

Associate companies are companies in which the consolidated entity has significant influence through holding, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the voting power of the company. Investments in associates are accounted for in the financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting whereby the investment is initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the consolidated entity’s share of net assets of the associate company. In addition the consolidated entity’s share of the profit or loss of the associate company is included in the consolidated entity’s profit or loss.

The carrying amount of the investment includes goodwill relating to the associate. Any excess of the consolidated entity’s share of the net fair value of the associate's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investment is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in the determination of the investor's share of the associate's profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the consolidated entity and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the relation to the consolidated entity’s investment in the associate.

31

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2014 (continued)

==> picture [44 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

When the consolidated entity’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the consolidated entity discontinues recognising its share of further losses unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. When the associate subsequently makes profits, the consolidated entity will resume the recognition of its share of those profits once its share of the profits equals the share of the losses not recognised.

k) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the consolidated entity during the reporting period which remains unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amount being normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

l) Borrowings

Loans and debentures are carried at their principal amounts which represent the present value of future cash flows associated with servicing the debt. Interest is accrued over the period it becomes due and is recorded as part of other creditors.

On issue of convertible notes, the fair value of the liability component, being the obligation to make future payments of principal and interest to noteholders, is calculated using a market interest rate for an equivalent nonconvertible note. The residual amount, representing the fair value of the conversion option, is included in equity as other equity securities with no recognition of any change in the value of the option in subsequent periods. The liability is included in borrowings and carried on an amortised cost basis with interest on the notes recognised as borrowing costs on an effective yield basis until the liability is extinguished on conversion or maturity of the notes.

m) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditures are written off as incurred, except when such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation, or sale, of an area of interest. In addition, exploration assets recognised on acquisition of an entity are carried forward provided that exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.

The expenditure carried forward when recovery is expected represents an accumulation of direct net exploration and evaluation costs incurred by or on behalf of the consolidated entity and applicable indirect costs, in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current.

The successful commercial exploitation of all exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent upon the Company raising adequate debt and equity funding, which is dependent upon continued investor support.

If it is established subsequently that economically recoverable reserves exist in a particular area of interest, resulting in the decision to develop a commercial mining operation, then in that year the accumulated expenditure attributable to that area, to the extent that it does not exceed the recoverable amount for the area concerned, will be transferred to mine development. As such it will be subsequently amortised against production from that area. Any excess of accumulated expenditure over recoverable amounts will be written off to the statement of comprehensive income.

n) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with short periods to maturity and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

32

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2014 (continued)

==> picture [44 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

o) Revenue and Other Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument.

p) Employee benefits

Provision is made for the consolidated entity’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the reporting date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wages increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting requirements. Those cash outflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows.

Equity-settled compensation

The consolidated entity operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account.

Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the good or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is shown in the option reserve.

The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using an appropriate valuation model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

q) Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (“ATO”). 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 statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

r) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit after income tax attributable to members of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

33

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2014 (continued)

==> picture [44 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(ii) 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.

s) Segment reporting

A business segment is identified for a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different to those of other business segments. A geographical segment is identified when products or services are provided within a particular economic environment subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

t) 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.

Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.

u) Financial instruments

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Finance instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost.

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 option pricing models.

Amortised cost is calculated as:

  • a. the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition;

  • b. less principal repayments;

  • c. plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method ; and

  • d. less any reduction for impairment.

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss.

The consolidated entity does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.

34

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2014 (continued)

==> picture [44 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

  • i. 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.

  • Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period (All other loans and receivables are classified as non-current assets).

  • ii. Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the consolidated entity assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired.

Financial guarantees

Where material, financial guarantees issued, which require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due, are recognised as a financial liability at fair value on initial recognition.

The guarantee is subsequently measured at the higher of the best estimate of the obligation and the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation in accordance with AASB 118: Revenue. Where the entity gives guarantees in exchange for a fee, revenue is recognised under AASB 118.

The fair value of financial guarantee contracts has been assessed using a probability weighted discounted cash flow approach. The probability has been based on:

  • the likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting in a year period;

  • the proportion of the exposure that is not expected to be recovered due to the guaranteed party defaulting; and

  • the maximum loss exposed if the guaranteed party were to default.

De-recognition

Financial assets are de-recognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are de-recognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. 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.

w) Critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements 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 consolidated entity.

There have been no judgements, apart from those involving estimation, in applying accounting policies that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in these financial statements.

Following is a summary of the key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation at reporting date that have not been disclosed elsewhere in these financial statements.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

The Board of Directors determines when an area of interest should be abandoned. When a decision is made that an area of interest is not commercially viable, all costs that have been capitalised in respect of that area of interest are written off. The Directors’ decision is made after considering the likelihood of finding commercially viable reserves.

The Board of Directors regularly review each project, which includes an assessment of possible impairment, taking into consideration economic viability of operations and validity of licences and permits.

Environmental Issues

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the company’s development and its current environmental impact the directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate.

Taxation

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, are based on the best estimates of directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Company as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors’ understanding thereof.

No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors’ best estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office.

Share based payment transactions

The company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using an appropriate valuation model.

Impairment

The consolidated entity assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific to the consolidated entity that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Validity of licences and permits, economic viability of current operations and economic viability for future operations are all elements that are considered. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.

c) Capital Management

The objectives of management when managing capital is to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that the Group may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Group to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Group’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.

The fair value of the Performance Rights granted during the financial year was $133,132 (2013: $222,850) and was recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Performance Rights granted during the year were valued using a binomial option pricing model. The expected life used in the model has been based on management’s best estimate for the effects of the vesting conditions and the probability of meeting the vesting conditions. The fair value has been discounted by 50% to reflect the probability of not meeting the vesting conditions.

The weighted average fair value of performance rights granted during the year was $0.013 (2013: 0.013). These values were calculated using a binomial option pricing model applying the following inputs:

Weighted average exercise price: $Nil
Expected vesting period for the performance rights to Up to 1 year
vest:
Expected share price volatility: 100%
Risk-free interest rate: 2.67%
Dividend yield: 0%

Under the equity package of Mr Alex Molyneux, the maximum number of performance rights to be issued is up to 75 million over 36 months. The Performance Rights will be split into 3 equal tranches of 25 million Performance Rights, with 25 million Performance Rights being issued immediately following approval by the Company’s shareholders in a general meeting on 23 January 2013 and thereafter 25 million Performance Rights being issued on the next two anniversaries of Mr Molyneux’s employment. Upon achievement of the vesting criteria, the Performance Rights will automatically convert into fully paid ordinary shares in the Company.

The Performance Rights will be issued for nil consideration and no consideration will be payable upon the vesting of the Performance Rights on achievement of the performance milestones. Accordingly, no loans will be made in relation to, and no funds will be raised from, the issue or vesting of the Performance Rights. The vesting conditions entail different criteria for various lots of Performance Rights within the 25 million issued, including achieving share price targets, share price performance relative to other comparable companies, raising capital above certain share price targets, business and safety targets.

During the financial year, the first tranche of Performance Rights (Class A) have been issued and 16,494,850 were converted to ordinary shares and the remaining 8,505,150 were cancelled. For the 8,505,150 Class A Performance Rights that were cancelled, as the vesting conditions were not met, the fair value previously recognised of $41,407 was reversed in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. At the same time, the second tranche (Class B) were issued, which will be subject to performance assessment during the 2014/2015 financial year at Mr Molyneux’s second anniversary.

Each category of performance shares have differing milestones to be achieved before vesting as follows:

  • varying levels of JORC resource targets of coking and thermal coal;

  • Celsius Coal Limited solely funding a 30,000 metre drilling program or spend a minimum of $15 million in the first three years; and

  • Celsius Coal Limited solely funding a further 30,000 metre drilling program or spend a minimum of $15 million within two and a half years after the first 30,000 metre drilling program is complete.

The performance shares would also vest if the vendors of Kokkia Coal exercise a put option requiring the performance shares to vest.

No performance shares vested during the year ended 30 June 2014 and no amounts have been recognised in the statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2014 or statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014.

25. Financial Risk Management

The consolidated entity’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits. The consolidated entity has various other financial assets and liabilities such as other receivables and payables, which arise directly from its operations.

The consolidated entity’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including, credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign exchange rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The company is not exposed to price risk.

Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors, who evaluates and agree upon risk management and objectives.

(a) Market Risk

Interest rate risk

The consolidated entity’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and financial liabilities comprises:

The consolidated entity policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to six months to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. Cash at bank and in hand earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates. The consolidated entity does not have any receivables or payables that may be affected by interest rate risk.

Sensitivity analysis

At 30 June 2014, if interest rates had changed by -/+100 basis points from the weighted average rate for the year with all other variables held constant, post-tax loss for both the consolidated entity and the parent entity would have been $1,172 (2013: $23,399) lower/higher as a result of lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents. Management have deemed a movement of 100 basis points to be an appropriate measure for this sensitivity analysis.

(b) Credit risk

The consolidated entity does not have any significant concentrations of credit risk. Credit risk is managed by the Board and arises from cash and cash equivalents as well as credit exposure including outstanding receivables.

All cash balances held in Australia are held at internationally recognised institutions. It is the consolidated entity’s policy to maintain the minimum required cash balances in the Kyrgyz Republic to minimise credit risk associated with those banks.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets disclosed within the financial report.

The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about default rates.

(c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash balances and access to equity funding.

The consolidated entity’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relate primarily to cash assets.

The directors monitor the cash-burn rate of the consolidated on an on-going basis against budget and the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities to manage its liquidity risk.

The financial liabilities the consolidated entity had at reporting date were other payables incurred in the normal course of the business. These were non interest bearing and were due within the normal 30-60 days terms of creditor payments.

Maturity analysis for financial liabilities

Financial liabilities of the consolidated entity comprise trade and other payables. As at 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013 all financial liabilities are contractually matured within 60 days.

(d) Foreign currency risk

Foreign exchange risks arise when future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.

The consolidated entity is primarily exposed to the fluctuations in the US dollar and the Kyrgyz Som, as the consolidated entity up holds US dollar bank deposits and much of the consolidated entity’s exploration costs and contracts are denominated in US dollars and Kyrgyz Som.

The consolidated entity aims to reduce and manage its foreign exchange risk by holding the majority of its funds in its US dollar account so that the exchange rate is crystallised early and future fluctuations in rates for settlement of USD denominated payables are avoided. As the consolidated entity’s operations develop and expand, the consolidated entity will develop and implement a more sophisticated foreign exchange risk strategy, which will include the use of forward exchange contracts and sophisticated treasury products.

25. Financial Risk Management (continued)

(e) Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. All financial assets and financial liabilities of the consolidated entity at the reporting date are recorded at amounts approximating their carrying amount.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the consolidated entity is the current bid price. At reporting date the consolidated entity had no such financial assets.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CELSIUS COAL LIMITED

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Celsius Coal Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s Responsibility

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

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

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

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Celsius Coal Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report .

Opinion

In our opinion:

  • (a) the financial report of Celsius Coal Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2014 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and

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

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that the company and consolidated entity incurred net losses of $3,944,192 and $7,637,002 respectively and the consolidated entity had net cash outflows from operating activities of $6,206,358 for the year ended 30 June 2014. As of that date, the company and consolidated entity had net current liabilities of $729,511 and $1,613,801 respectively. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company’s and consolidated entity’s ability to continue as going concerns and therefore, the company and consolidated entity may be unable to realise their assets and discharge their liabilities in the normal course of business.

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included within the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2014. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Celsius Coal Limited for the year ended 30 June 2014 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
