CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

==> picture [74 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

Dear Shareholders,

It is my pleasure to present Celsius Resources Limited’s Annual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2021, in which the Company substantially transformed its operations with the acquisition of Anleck Limited, a private UKbased company owning a suite of Philippine copper-gold projects held through local subsidiaries.

Philippines Focus

The strategic decision to deepen the Company’s focus on copper-gold assets in the Philippines reflects not only our desire to leverage favourable macro-economic conditions, but also the sheer quality of these special mineral assets, which have the capacity to drive substantial shareholder value.

MCB in particular has been proven to contain a significant copper-gold deposit and in January this year we delivered a maiden JORC (2012) Mineral Resource Estimate of 313.8 million tonnes @ 0.48% copper and 0.15g/t gold, for 1.5 million tonnes of contained copper and 1.47 million ounces of contained gold. Exploration has continued at MCB and we are confident that this sizable resource will continue to grow. We are concurrently carrying out a comprehensive Scoping Study on the development of MCB.

At Sagay, the project appears to contain very large-scale porphyry copper mineralisation that remains open at depth. Our view is that Sagay represents an excellent target for further exploration and Celsius will look to accelerate its activities to gain a greater understanding of the size and scope of the deposit.

Both the MCB and Sagay projects were owned by Freeport-McMoRan, one of the world’s largest copper-gold producers, before being opportunistically acquired by Anleck and subsequently vended into Celsius’s suite of projects.

Having spent a considerable portion of my forty-plus year career developing copper-gold assets in the Philippines, which included the development from feasibility to production of one of the country’s most successful copper mines, I can attest to the quality of Celsius’ assets.

Team

The development of mining projects in the Philippines requires detailed knowledge of domestic laws and regulations, labour codes and local community relations. In addition, strict adherence to Responsible Mining and Environmental practices are a pre-requisite to successful mining operations.

Apart from my own experience, we are supported by the in-country presence of Philippines Operations Manager Peter Hume and Community Relations Manager Ms Attilenore Austria, who have both spent decades working with and developing mining projects both overseas and within the Philippines.

We also welcomed Blair Sergeant as Executive Director in March this year, bringing a wealth of knowledge both in project development but also financial and corporate affairs, further supporting our Philippines activities.

With significant in-country experience, a genuine commitment to sustainable development, as well as constructive relationships with the local communities at both MCB and Sagay. I firmly believe Celsius is well positioned to realise these substantial opportunities and evolve into a successful mine developer and operator with a focus on responsible mining while supporting the development of sustainable communities in which we work.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank former CLA Directors Brendan Borg, Ashley Hood and Pine Van Wyk who transitioned from the Board following the transaction with Anleck. Brendan, Ashley and Pine were all highly supportive of the acquisition and understand its potential to build substantial shareholder value. I am particularly pleased that Pine is able to continue his association with the Company as our Country Operations Director in Namibia, overseeing development at the Opuwo cobalt-copper project.

Outlook

Celsius is entering into an exciting phase in FY2022, with a series of very important milestones upcoming.

Further confirmatory drill results are expected shortly from the MCB project and the finalisation of the Scoping Study continues to progress. In addition, definition drilling is set to take off at Sagay with the results to feed into a maiden JORC Resource Estimate.

These activities will see the Company continue to demonstrate that its Philippine assets are amongst the world’s best undeveloped copper-gold opportunities and clearly warrant further development.

I would like to thank all our loyal shareholders who have joined us on this exciting journey to date and look forward to providing more positive news as we improve our position in the Philippines and at our other prospective projects.

Yours faithfully,

Martin Buckingham Non-Executive Chairman

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Corporate

On 4 February 2021, the consolidated entity completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued capital of Anleck Limited (“Anleck”), a private UK company that owns, through various subsidiaries, a suite of copper–gold projects in the Philippines. Consideration of the acquisition consisted of 100,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares to the shareholders of Anleck (50,000,000 of these will be subject to a buy-back cancellation right in favour of Celsius) and 100,000,000 deferred consideration shares, in two equal tranches subject to the following:

  • 50,000,000 shares upon securing and entering into a financial and technical assistance agreement or a mineral production sharing agreement with the Philippines Government in relation to the project, provided this occurs within 36 months of settlement; and

  • 50,000,000 shares upon Celsius announcing to ASX that it has completed an economically viable Definitive Feasibility Study (DFA) in relation to the project provided this occurs within 36 months of settlement.

Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog Copper Gold Project, Philippines (Celsius - 100%)

Following the renewal of its Exploration Permit on 26 November 2020 for the Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog (“MCB”) CopperGold Project, Makilala Mining Company, Inc. (“MMCI”), being a wholly owned Philippine subsidiary of Celsius, commenced ground activities to fast-track the implementation of its Exploration Work Program within the two-year period in the Cordillera Administrative Region in the Philippines.

These included engaging a drilling contractor, mobilizing the ground team, securing landowner permits, and drill site preparations in conjunction with the implementation of activities for its Environmental and Community Development Programs.

Exploration Work

Drilling started in late February 2021. The first hole (MCB-033) was completed in May with a final drill hole bottom depth of 730.6 meters and installed with vibrating wire piezometers to gather data as part of the ongoing hydrological study. By the end of June, drilling depth for the second hole (MCB-034) was at 646.55 meters while land preparations were ongoing for the third drill hole.

Core logging, sampling, photographing of core samples and other relevant measurements were carried out in accordance with the Company’s procedures and protocols in compliance with JORC resource requirements. A total of 365 drill core samples for MCB-033 and 215 from MCB-034 were collected and sent to Intertek laboratory for multielement assaying.

Core samples for Metallurgical Testing (comminution, floatation, and crushing test work) were collected, vacuum-sealed, and dispatched to Perth, Australia.

Scoping Study

A Scoping Study is also being undertaken in parallel with the drilling operations, laboratory works, and mine planning. The study aims to utilise the existing ore block model based on a JORC (2012) resource statement which was released in December 2020. This Block Model will be utilised in the development of an underground mine plan/design, a mineral processing flowchart and plant design, an infrastructure layout, and an overall financial cost model.

The study was 60% complete by the end of June pending the finalisation of the remaining works which include, but not limited to:

  • Finalisation of mining trade-off studies and report

  • Refinement of surface infrastructure layouts

  • Completion of metallurgical testing and floatation test works

  • Development of mineral processing flowchart and plant design

  • Development of high-level cost analysis and project schedule

  • Finalisation of the Scoping Study based on JORC (2012) Code.

Approach to Stakeholder Engagement

Central to the approach of the Company in implementing its Environmental and Community Development Work Programs is to engage relevant stakeholders throughout the life cycle of the project. This is essential in fostering trust, building relationship, and strengthen support for the Company’s key initiatives.

Consultation meetings are regularly held with local government units, the community, and other relevant stakeholders to understand their needs and priorities. Along with this, local development plans were also consulted to ensure that the company’s development interventions remain relevant and consistent with the local development goals while ensuring sustainable outcomes.

Community Development Program

To date, the following community development initiatives implemented include:

  • 1) Capacity-building and hands-on training for the Tribal Council of Elders in Planning, decision-making and conflict resolution;

  • 2) Provision of equipment and materials to support the online learning system of local secondary and elementary school students and supporting the continued online advanced learning of teachers in the midst of the pandemic;

  • 3) Assistance to the local health unit through the provision of medicines and other health paraphernalia to support the fight against COVID-19; and

  • 4) Financial and material donations in support of the communities’ cultural values and traditions.

Environmental Work Program

The Company has endeavored to minimize and mitigate the impacts of its operations on the environment and contribute to the maintenance of its viability and diversity. While the drilling activity is not expected to have considerable impact to the environment, careful planning and conscious implementation efforts have been made to minimise land disturbance during site preparations, transport of drill rig and other equipment, and drilling operations. Precautions are also in place in storing drilling fluids to avoid accidental spills and soil contamination.

Solid waste management is strictly being practiced to reduce wastes arising from drilling operations and prevent pollution.

Progressive rehabilitation of the completed drill hole is ongoing which included removal of temporary structures, backfilling of excavations, and planting of endemic plant species to restore and revegetate the area.

Baseline Studies

MMCI has partnered with a local state university to provide technical expertise in the conduct of baseline social, economic, and environmental studies. The studies aimed to provide initial information for evaluating anticipated project impacts, determining appropriate mitigation measures and assessing alternative options as part of further studies to develop the project into an operating mine. Preliminary activities implemented by the end of the period included the development of research designs and questionnaires, mobilization of community field enumerators, and procurement of study equipment to commence data gathering.

Regulatory Compliance

MMCI has affirmed its commitment to comply with regulatory laws through on-time submission of regulatory reportorial requirements on time and well within MGB standards. The company also continues to cultivate and maintain good relationships with Mining regulatory bodies through constant engagement seeking guidance where necessary.

– Lachlan Fold Belt Projects, Australia (Celsius 100%)

During the prior financial year, the Company acquired 100% of the Cullarin West and Yass Gold Projects (comprising EL5928) located in the highly sought-after Lachlan Fold Belt region of NSW, Australia.

The Cullarin West prospect is located adjacent to and along strike of Sky Metals’ (ASX:SKY) Cullarin discovery (93 m at 4.24 g/t gold from 56 m, refer ASX.SKY Announcement 10 February 2020). The Yass project overlies the historic historical Gooda Creek and Daltons Goldfields and lies adjacent to Sky Metals’ (ASX.SKY) Caledonian Project, where high grade gold intersections were reported earlier in 2021 (refer ASX.SKY Announcement 31 March 2021).

As announced during the year desktop review of publically available geological and geophysical information has identified seven targets at the Cullarin West Project and ten at the Yass Project. The Company anticipates that a significant program of low detection limit geochemical sampling will be required to refine these targets to generate targets for future drill testing. The Company looks forward to the commencement of on ground activities at the project in coming months following the lifting of restrictions on movement and establishment of access with relevant landowners and stakeholders.

- – Opuwo Cobalt Copper Project, Namibia (Celsius 95%)

Celsius is aiming to define a long life, reliable source of cobalt at Opuwo. The Company considers the Project to have the following advantages:

  • Large scale;

  • Favourable mineralogy: cobalt and copper sulphide minerals;

  • Low in deleterious elements: notably arsenic, cadmium and uranium;

  • Mining friendly, politically stable and safe location with excellent infrastructure; and

  • Cobalt: best exposure to lithium ion battery demand.

Work on the Opuwo Cobalt Project has been limited during the period due to the low current and short term forecast cobalt price. The Company has continued with work programs aimed at keeping the core Opuwo Project in good standing, in terms of in country expenditure and reporting, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs, and community and government consultation regarding the current status of the Project.

The Opuwo Cobalt Project is located in northwestern Namibia, approximately 800 km by road from the capital, Windhoek, and approximately 750 km from the port at Walvis Bay. The Project has excellent infrastructure, with the regional capital of Opuwo approximately 30 km to the south, where services such as accommodation, fuel, supplies, and an airport and hospital are available. Good quality bitumen roads connect Opuwo to Windhoek and Walvis Bay. The Ruacana hydro power station (320 MW), which supplies the majority of Namibia’s power, is located nearby, and a 66 kV transmission line passes through the eastern boundary of the Project.

The Opuwo Project consists of three Exclusive Prospecting Licences covering approximately 1,001 km2. (Figure 1)

Figure 1: Opuwo Licences on heli-EM

The Company continues to carry out stakeholder engagement at the Opuwo Project as per its commitments under the independent Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) completed for the Scoping Study, save for period where travel within Namibia has been restricted due to COVID-19. The Company is awaiting feedback from the Ministry of Environment and Tourism on the EIA Scoping Report submitted (along with any public submissions). Once the Scoping Report is approved specialist environmental and social studies would be able to commence, readying the Project to ramp up the PFS to meet forthcoming demand for cobalt and copper.

Independent 3rd party review was done relating to metallurgical test work and process design, specifically the roasting process, leaching process and flotation optimisation test work. A number of areas where further test work would be beneficial have been identified from this third party review of all work completed to date on the Opuwo Cobalt Project. During the next period the Company will finalize the next phase of optimisation test work after engaging and obtaining proposals from various metallurgical testing laboratories. This will include potential drilling of fresh metallurgical core samples to be used for test work.

Exploration activities at the Opuwo Cobalt Project were desktop focused involving review of data from the Company’s SkyTEM aerial survey and downhole EM surveys, geochemical data as well as statutory reporting.

The updated Mineral Resource Estimate is based on all drilling completed by Celsius at Opuwo. It covers a zone of approximately 13.5 km length, with mineralisation remaining open in northerly, westerly and easterly directions, and includes the large anticlinal structure of the NW Extension.

The updated Mineral Resource Estimate comprises 225.5 Mt at a grade of 0.12% cobalt, 0.43% copper, and 0.54% zinc. The Mineral Resource Estimate represents contained cobalt of 259,000 t and consists of:

  • 45.3 Mt at a grade of 0.11% cobalt, 0.44% copper and 0.51% zinc in the Indicated category, and

  • 180.2 Mt at a grade of 0.12% cobalt, 0.43% copper and 0.55% zinc in the Inferred category.

Western Australian Nickel Assets

Celsius (through View Nickel Pty Ltd) has a 100% interest in the Abednegno Hill Nickel Project to the west of Minara Resources’ Murrin Murrin nickel mine and the NiWest operation currently under development by GME Resources Ltd. Only desktop work was completed during the year due to restrictions on travel in Western Australia.

Formerly the Company held a 30% joint venture interest in the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture (Joint Venture) in Western Australia, with 70% held by Mincor Resources NL (Mincor), the operator of the Joint Venture. During the year the Company completed an agreement with Mincor which converted the Company’s 30% joint venture interest into payments from future production above 10,000 tonnes of nickel (in concentrate) from the CHJV tenements, thereby removing the CHJV liabilities and costs from the Company (through its subsidiary View Nickel Pty Ltd).

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

The consolidated entity completed the acquisition of Anleck Limited, which 100% owns a suite of Philippine tenements. The consolidated entity continued its activities of mineral exploration and mineral extraction in Namibia and Australia and since the acquisition, also commenced mineral exploration activities in the Philippines.

The Directors are not aware of any other significant change in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity that occurred during the financial year other than as reported elsewhere in the Annual Report.

FINANCIAL POSITION

The net assets of the consolidated entity has increased to $28,253,107 as at 30 June 2021, an increase of $8,606,593 from net assets of $19,646,514 at 30 June 2020.

The consolidated entity’s net working capital, being current assets less current liabilities is net current assets of $5,263,801 (2020: $5,542,179).

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

On 12 August 2021, it was announced that the Philippine Mines and Geosciences Bureau (“MGB”) confirmed a two year extension of the Sagay Exploration Permit (EP) (No.000003VI) in support of the National Government’s economic recovery program.

On 31 August 2021, it was announced that Non-Executive Director Attilenore Austria will resign from the Company, effective 30 September 2021.

Whilst exploration activities have been able to continue, the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing. It is not practical to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is continually developing and is dependent on measures imposed by Australian, Philippine and Namibian Governments, and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and economic stimulus that may be provided.

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 entity the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity 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.

There were three Directors meetings held during the financial year, however many board matters were dealt with via circular resolutions. The company does not have a formally constituted audit committee or remuneration committee as the board considers that the company’s size and type of operation do not warrant such committees.

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited)

This report details the nature and amount of the remuneration for each key management person of Celsius Resources Limited for 30 June 2021.

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 - H 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 Resources 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. 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 shareholder’s 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 company provides performance based remuneration via their Performance Rights Plan. No Performance Rights are currently on issue.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2021

==> picture [74 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Celsius Resources Limited and its controlled entities (the “consolidated entity” or “Group”).

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 30 September 2021 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 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.

a) Comparatives

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

b) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by Celsius Resources Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Celsius Resources Limited 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 consolidated entity 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 profit or loss and other 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) Parent entity

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 24.

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.

30

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2021 (continued)

==> picture [75 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

d) Income tax (continued)

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 Resources Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated group.

e) 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 allowances for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 120 days.

The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

f) 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.

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 3-10 years
Motor vehicles 5 years
Furniture’s and fixtures 5- 10 years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

f) Plant and equipment (continued)

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. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.

g) 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 accounting standard. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other accounting 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.

h) Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

i) 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.

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 profit or loss.

j) 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 amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

k) 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.

l) 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.

m) Other income

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 interest 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.

n) Employee benefits

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.

o) Goods and services tax (“GST”)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the 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.

p) 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.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

p) Earnings per share (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.

q) Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Celsius Resources Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the transaction at the financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

r) 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 obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability.

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) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group’s statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

At each reporting date, the financial assets are assessed for impairment.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

u) 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.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised.

Share based payment transactions

The consolidated entity 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 using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Company unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

v) New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these did not have a material impact on the Group. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

  • (1) On 4 February 2021, the consolidated entity completed its 100% acquisition of Anleck Limited by issuing 100,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares, whereby 50,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares escrowed to 4 February 2022. Management has determined that the acquisition of 100% interest in Anleck Limited does not meet the definition of a business within AASB 3 Business Combinations. This transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition.

  • (2) During the prior year, the consolidated entity acquired the Cullarin West and Yass Gold Projects (comprising ELA5928) located in Lachlan Fold Belt region of NSW, Australia. The consolidated entity issued 23,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares as consideration for the project. Management determined that the acquisition did not meet the definition of a business within AASB 3 Business Combinations, and that the transaction was to be accounted for as an asset acquisition.

  • (3) The purchase price consists of the following:

  • (i) 100,000,000 Consideration shares at $0.013. As 50% of the Consideration Shares (i.e. 50,000,000 shares) are subject escrow, Celsius has assessed the likelihood of completing the economically viable Scoping Study on Makilala EP-003-CAR2006 before 4 February 2022 is 100% likely. Consideration recognised at date of acquisition is $1,300,000. (ii) 100,000,000 Deferred consideration shares are split into two tranches. Tranche 1, 50,000,000 shares within 10 business days of the Group announcing to the ASX that they have secured and entered into a financial and technical assistance agreement or a mineral production sharing agreement with the Philippine Government in relation to the Project, provided it occurs within 36 months. Tranche 2, 50,000,000 shares within 10 business days of the Group announcing to the ASX that they have completed an economically viable definitive feasibility study in relation to the project, provided that this occurs within 36 months of settlement. Consideration recognised for both tranches at date of acquisition is $nil, on the basis that future amounts payable are not capitalised on initial recognition, but capitalised as they are incurred over time.

The transaction costs consist of the following:

(i) 50,000,000 unlisted options issued to advisors as compensation for services provided in relation to the acquisition of Anleck Limited. The options have been valued and disclosed in Note 15. Consideration recognised at date of acquisition is $1,845,000.

(i) The consolidated entity, through its wholly owned subsidiary, View Nickel Pty Ltd, had 30% joint venture interest in the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture. The Carnilya Hill Joint Venture is subject to potential cost in respect to the rehabilitation of the mine. Accordingly, through its joint venture interest, the consolidated entity had provided for its share of the estimated amount of the total rehabilitation. The rehabilitation provision is triggered either when the JV decides to complete the full rehabilitation, when the Department of Mines and Petroleum mandates the JV must complete the full rehabilitation or when the tenements are relinquished. On 12 February 2021, the consolidated entity entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Mincor Resources NL to sell its 30% Joint Venture interest , resulting in a recognised gain on disposal of the asset.

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held.

On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll, each share is entitled to one vote.

b) Capital management

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

Due to the nature of the consolidated entity’s activities, being mineral exploration, the consolidated entity does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the consolidated entity’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the consolidated entity to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The consolidated entity’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 working capital position of the consolidated entity at 30 June 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

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 2021, 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 $39,948 (2020: $60,281) 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2021 (continued)

==> picture [75 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

25. Financial risk management (continued)

(b) Credit risk

The consolidated entity does not have any significant concentrations of credit risk. Credit risk is managed by the Board of Directors 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.

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.

Financial assets that are neither past due and not impaired are as follows:

Financial assets - counterparties without external credit rating
Financial assets with no defaults in the past
Cash and cash equivalents
‘AA’ S&P rating

2020
$

198,948
50,669
6,484,053
5,674,226

(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 2021 and 30 June 2020 all financial liabilities are contractually maturing 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.

As at 30 June 2021, the consolidated entity holds minimal funds in foreign currency bank accounts so the foreign currency risk is minimal.

(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 RESOURCES LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Celsius Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.

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

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

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

Basis for Opinion

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

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report.

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

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed this matter
Acquisition of Anleck Limited and its controlled entities
Refer to Note 9 in the financial statements
On 4 February 2021, the Group completed its 100%
acquisition of the issued capital of Anleck Limited
and its controlled entities for a total consideration of
$3,158,183.
Accounting for this acquisition is a key audit matter
as
it
involves
management
judgements
in
determining the acquisition date, the acquisition
accounting treatment, the fair value of net assets
acquired and the fair value of the purchase
consideration.
Our audit procedures included:

Reviewing
the
acquisition
agreements
to
understand the transaction, acquisition date and the
related accounting considerations;

Evaluating management’s determination that the
acquisition did not meet the definition of a business
within AASB 3_Business Combinations_and
therefore was an asset acquisition as opposed to a
business combination;

Assessing management’s determination of the
acquisition date, fair value of consideration paid and
the fair value of the net assets acquired; and

Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures in
the financial report.
Deferred Exploration Expenditure
Refer to Note 9 in the financial statements
The
Group
has
capitalised
exploration
and
evaluation expenditure, with a carrying value of
$24,324,124 as at 30 June 2021.
We determined this to be a key audit matter due to
the significant management judgments involved in
assessing the carrying value of the asset including:
Determination of whether expenditure can be
associated
with
finding
specific
mineral
resources and the basis on which that
expenditure is allocated to an area of interest;
Determination of whether exploration activities
have progressed to the stage at which the
existence of an economically recoverable
mineral reserve may be assessed; and
Assessing whether any indicators of impairment
are present and, if so, judgments applied to
determine and quantify any impairment loss.
Our audit procedures included:

Obtaining evidence that the Group has valid rights
to explore in the specific area of interest;

Agreeing a sample of additions to capitalised
deferred exploration expenditure to supporting
documentation and ensuring that the amounts were
capital in nature and relate to the area of interest;

Assessing
and
evaluating
management’s
assessment of whether indicators of impairment
existed at the reporting date;

Assessing
management’s
determination
that
exploration and evaluation activities have not yet
reached a stage where the existence or otherwise
of economically recoverable reserves may be
reasonably determined;

Enquiring with management and reviewing budgets
and other documentation as evidence that active
and significant operations in, or relation to, the area
of interest will be continued in the future; and

Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures in
the financial report.

Other Information

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 2021, but does not include the financial report and the auditor's report thereon.

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

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

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

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group 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.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
