Attached as required by the ASX and ASIC is the Appendix 4E Preliminary Final Report for the year ended 30 June 2014 for the company in pre-transaction form. As shareholders would be aware the entire YPB transaction occurred post 1 July 2014 and therefore the attached report reflects the structure of the AUV Enterprises corporate shell and not the YPB business.

The first reporting period that will include the new business will be for the six months ending 31 December 2014. As previously announced YPB is changing its year end to 31 December 2014.

2. Principal Activities

The principal activity of the Company during the financial period was seeking investments.

3. Operating Results

The consolidated loss of the Consolidated Entity, after providing for income tax, amounted to $924,000 for
the financial period.

4. Significant Changes in State of Affairs

During the year under review the Company lodged all outstanding ASX and ASIC lodgments and held
all outstanding shareholder meetings so that it was then fully compliant with the listing rules and in a
position to undertake a transaction whereby it could finally be re-quoted on the ASX.
During the year the company issued 34,289,267 shares at $0.02 per share to assist in paying the costs
incurred to ensure the Company’s re-compliance.

On 11 February 2014, AUV entered into a Loan Agreement ( Loan Agreement ) with J F Houston Holdings Pty Ltd ( J F Houston ), a company controlled by John Houston. Under the Loan Agreement, J F Houston has applied loan funds of up to $255,000 to AUV to extinguish its debt and for the expenses associated with the Proposed Transaction.

3
Under the terms of the Loan Agreement:
  • 1.1.1 AUV is obliged to apply the proceeds of the loaned amount to repay outstanding creditors of the Company and to pursue the completion of the Proposed Transaction and re-quotation of its Shares.

  • 1.1.2

  • AUV is required to repay all loaned amounts by the later of:

  • 1.1.2.1 180 days after the date of the Loan Agreement; and

  • 1.1.2.2 7 Business days after the date of re-quotation of the AUV Shares on the ASX,

or such other date as the AUV and J F Houston agree in writing. If AUV fails to repay
the loan by this date, or the Directors consider that repayment of the loan amount
would likely result in AUV suffering an insolvency event, then AUV is required to
procure the issue and allotment of up to 22,359,550 fully paid ordinary AUV Shares
(on a pre-consolidation basis) (or such other number of shares equal to 19.9% of the
total number of AUV Shares on issue to JF Houston.
  • 1.1.3 There is no interest payable on the loaned amounts provided that these amounts are repaid by the dates set out above. In the event that the Company has not repaid the full amount of the loan on or prior to the required repayment date, interest will accrue on the amount of the loan from the repayment date at a rate of 8% per annum. Interest will be payable monthly in arrears.

On 20 March 2014, the Company announced that it had entered into a share sale agreement ( Acquisition Agreement ) to acquire 100% of the issued capital in the capital of YPB Limited ( YPB ) ( YPB Acquisition ).

YPB is a private company registered in Hong Kong that has developed and owns proprietary
technologies and products in the field of brand protection and anti-counterfeit authentication. YPB's
primary business focus is in Asia, where the anti-counterfeiting packaging market size is large and
growing rapidly. The Asian market is currently valued at approximately US$14 billion and growing at a
compound annual growth rate of 20%.
The YPB Acquisition resulted in a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company's
activities from a mining investment company to development, manufacture and sale of brand protection
and anti-counterfeit products. Accordingly, the Company required Shareholder approval under ASX
Listing Rules 11.1.2 and 11.1.3 and it must re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.
In this regard the Company proposed to:
  • 1 consolidate the issued capital of the Company on a 1 for 10.9 basis before the YPB Acquisition is completed ( AUV Share Consolidation );

  • 2 complete the YPB Acquisition by acquiring all of the issued capital in the capital of YPB and, as consideration, issue AUV Shares to the security holders of YPB ( YPB Shareholders ), including requesting shareholder approval for the acquisition of a relevant interest by Bimm Corporation Pty Limited (ACN 120 009 798) as trustee for the FJ Fund (Bimm Corporation) (a company controlled by John Houston) in AUV Shares which will result in it having voting power in excess of 20%;

  • 3 appoint John Houston, Su Su (George Su) and Dr Geoff Raby as Directors of the Company effective upon completion of the YPB Acquisition;

  • 4 issue a prospectus to raise a minimum of $3,000,000 and up to $6,000,000 under a public offer ( Public Offer ) to fund the:

  • increase in YPB's sales and marketing activities, with emphasis on the business to business sector;

4
  • ongoing research and development of YPB's brand protection and anti-counterfeit technologies and products, particularly the "app" product(s) suitable for the business to consumer sector;

  • repayment of debt;

  • costs of the Public Offer; and

  • working capital of the YPB business going forward

  • 5 request Shareholder approval for Bimm Corporation to participate in the Public Offer and to increase its relevant interest in voting power in the Company in excess of 20%; and

  • 6 change the name of the Company to YPB Group Limited.

In addition, the Company proposed to make amendments to its constitution to bring it up to date with
the current provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the ASX Listing Rules.
In order to comply with the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and the Company’s constitution,
the proposals outlined above required the approval of AUV Shareholders. The Company’s convened a
General Meeting on 8 May 2014 where all resolutions put to members were passed by the requisite
majority.
The Completion of the YPB Acquisition was conditional upon various conditions precedent, including
the Public Offer.
The YPB Acquisition was successfully completed:
  • the Company will acquired 100% of the shares in the capital of YPB;

  • Peter Dykes and Anthony Damianos have resigned as Directors of the Company;

  • the name of the Company changed from AUV Enterprises Limited to YPB Group Limited (there was also a corresponding change to the Company's ASX code to "YPB") ; and

  • the proceeds from the Public Offer will be used to fund the activities set out in point 4 above which will ultimately allow the Company to expand its presence in Asia and facilitate refinements to its core technology platform.

Subsequent to Balance Date has completed the transaction whereby it acquired all of the issued capital
of YPB Limited and was requoted on the ASX on 7 August 2014.
YPB Group (ASX:YPB) is an anti-counterfeiting technology company. It provides a unique, cost effective,
invisible, indestructible anti-counterfeit solution that allows companies and governments to protect the
value of their brands and minimise loss of earnings from counterfeiting. The Company is initially focused
on the China and greater Asia markets. The YPB business is well established and has a number of
substantial customer contracts in place and a strong new business pipeline.
5

YPB Group’s core products include;

Forensic Tracers – These are hidden, invisible and indestructible particles fused into a product or packaging during or after the manufacture process. The Tracers can be used in all key product manufacturing and packaging industries including plastics, paper, inks, textiles and coatings. They cannot be seen or removed and are impossible to destroy or damage as they are part of the product. They consist of infrared, UV light energy and X-ray sensitive particles detectable by YPB’s scanner technology.

YPB owns two patents over its Tracer products and is the only Company currently licensed in China to
supply invisible tracers. YPB’s Tracers are considerably cheaper than other alternative anti-counterfeit
methods and technologies.

Scanner – YPB’s proprietary scanner detects YPB’s forensic Tracers and confirms the host product’s authenticity. They are low cost and can be used at any point in the supply chain – from manufacture through to point-of-sale. Encryption is used on the scanners and software, and any attempt to reverse engineer triggers a self-destruct software code.

Smartphone App – A revolutionary new application to provide consumers the ability to authenticate a product as real or fake, via their mobile phone handset. Further R&D and development will see YPB’s smartphone App launched in H2, 2014 and will initially target the massive China Smartphone App market. A patent application has been submitted for the Smartphone App and is Patent Pending through the PCT process. In addition to the App technology, YPB will also develop a web based solution in 2015 for China and Global release.

13. Remuneration Report

This section presents the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of the Company, and for
the executives receiving the highest remuneration.

Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy of the Company has been designed to align director and executive objectives
with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and a variable
(at risk) component.  The Board of the Company believes the remuneration policy is appropriate for the
current stage of development of the Company.
The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and senior
executives of the Entity is as follows:
  • The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed by the Board. All executives receive an agreed mix of fixed salary (which is based on factors such as experience and level of responsibilities), superannuation, fringe benefits and an annual cash performance incentive. The Company’s Remuneration Committee will review and make recommendations to the Board in respect of executive packages on an annual basis. Reference will be made to the Entity’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.

  • The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed annually with each executive. Performance criteria include factors relating to the responsibilities of each position as well as company-wide factors such as the forecast growth of the Entity’s profits. All bonuses are linked to predetermined performance criteria. The Board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and can recommend changes to the committee’s recommendations. The policy is designed to attract the highest caliber of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.

  • The executive directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government and do not receive any other retirement benefits.

  • All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. There are no share or options schemes as part of directors’ or executive remuneration.

  • The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The remuneration committee determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability.

9
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to
approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are
not linked to the performance of the Entity. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder
interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.
Where non-executive directors provide additional services to the Company, this must be approved
in advance by the remuneration committee chair.

Performance Based Remuneration

As part of each executive director and executive’s remuneration package there is a performance-based
component, which is paid on achievement of key performance indicators (“KPIs”). The program seeks
to align goals of directors and executives with that of the Company and its shareholders. The KPIs are
reviewed annually by the Board in consultation with executives.
The measures are tailored to the areas each executive has a level of control over. The KPIs target areas
the Board believes hold greater potential for group expansion and profit, covering financial and non-
financial as well as short- and long-term goals. The level set for each KPI is based on budgeted figures
for the group and respective industry standards.
Performance in relation to the KPIs is assessed annually, with bonuses being awarded depending on
the number and deemed difficulty of the KPIs achieved. Following the assessment, the KPIs are
reviewed by the remuneration committee in light of the desired and actual outcomes, and their efficiency
is assessed in relation to the group’s goals and shareholder wealth, before the KPIs are set for the
following year.

Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Directors’ and Executives’ Remuneration

There were no KPIs set for the 2014 year and as a result no performance payments were paid or are
payable.

Details of Remuneration for the Year Ended 30 June 2014

The remuneration for each director and each of the executive officers of the Consolidated Entity receiving
the highest remuneration during the year is set out in the tables below.

14. Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Auditor

Pursuant to Article 103 of its Constitution, the Company insures and indemnifies its current and former
directors and officers, against liabilities to another person (other than the Company or a related body
corporate) that may arise from their position as directors and officers of the Company and its controlled
entities, except where the liability arises out of conduct involving lack of good faith.
Each Director and Secretary named in the Directors and Secretary section of this report and any past
director or secretary, has entered into a Deed of Indemnity with the Company on these terms.  No
indemnity has been provided to the Company’s auditor.

15. Insurance Premiums

During or since the financial year the Company has paid an insurance premium in respect of a contract
insuring against liability of Directors and Officers in accordance with the Company’s Constitution and the
Corporations Act 2001.
The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the amount of the premium and the nature of the liability
insured against.  Each director of the Company has paid the insurance premium in respect of cover
which may apply in relation to liabilities of the type referred to in Section 199B of the Corporations Act
2001.

16. Non-audit Services

The Board is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year is compatible with the
general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The directors are
satisfied that the services disclosed below did not compromise the external auditor’s independence for
the following reasons:
  • all non-audit services are reviewed and approved by the Board prior to commencement to ensure they do not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

  • the nature of the services provided do not compromise the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and CPA Australia’s Professional Statement F1: Professional Independence.

17. Auditor’s Independence Declaration

The auditor’s independence declaration for the year ended 30 June 2014 will be included on page 10 of
this Annual Report.

the Company or intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking
responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or any part of those proceedings.
11

19. Rounding of Amounts

The Company is an entity to which ASIC Class Order 98/100 applies and, accordingly, amounts in the
financial statements and directors’ report have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.

AUV Enterprises Ltd (“AUV”) is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
Its registered office and principal place of business is Level 29, 66 Goulburn Street, Sydney NSW 2000.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Background

The Board of Directors of AUV are responsible for the Corporate Governance of AUV and its controlled
entities.  The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of the group on behalf of the
shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.
The AUV Corporate Governance Statement on the governance practices adopted by the Company is
structured with reference to the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles and Recommendations.
The practice are summarised below.
The Board is committed to improving its corporate governance practices and embracing the principles
put out by the ASX Corporate Governance Council, however the Board is of a view that the adoption of
the practices and principles should be in line with the growth in size, changes in the nature and increase
in complexity of the Company’s business.
The Board aims to achieve all of the Best Practice Recommendations in stages as the Company grows
and its circumstances change over time. As reported in the current years’ and previous years’ annual
report, the Company has been concentrating on its efforts to restore the financial position of the
Company and does not have sufficient resources to adopt and improve its corporate governance
practices at present.
It is the new Board’s intention to apply all principals previously adopted on the resumption of quotation
on the ASX and achieve all of the Best Practice Recommendations in stages as the Company grows
and its circumstances change over time.

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight .

On resumption of quotation of AUV’s securities on the ASX, it is Board’s intention to ensure the Company
is structured such that there are clearly defined roles, segregation of duties and responsibilities and
approved levels of authority between the management and the governance of the Company. The Board
will set the overall corporate governance policy for the Company including determining the strategic
direction, establishing policies and goals for management and monitoring the achievement of them. The
Board will delegate responsibility for the day to day management of the Company to the Chief Executive
Officer and the senior executive team.
The key responsibilities of the Board will include:
  • setting the long-term strategy and annual business plan including objectives and milestones to be achieved;

  • evaluating capital, cash and operating risk budgets and making appropriate recommendations on an annual basis;

  • reviewing and approving the Company’s financial, strategic and operational goals and assessing key business developments as formulated by management in line with the objectives and goals set by the Board;

  • monitoring the performance of the Company against the financial objectives and operational goals set by the Board and reviewing the implementation of Board approved strategies;

  • assessing the appropriateness of the skill sets and the levels of experience of the members of the Board, individually and as a whole and selecting new members to join the Board when a vacancy exists;

13
  • appointing, removing and determining the terms of engagement of the Directors, Chief Executive Officer and Company Secretary;

  • overseeing the delegation of authority for the day to day management of the Company;

  • ensuring that the risk management systems, financial reporting and information systems, personnel, policies and procedures are all operating efficiently and effectively by establishing a framework of internal controls and compliance;

  • reviewing major contracts, goods or services on credit terms, acceptance of counter-party risks and issuing guarantees on behalf of the Company;

  • approving the capital structure and major funding requirements of the Company;

  • making recommendations as to the terms of engagement, independence and the appointment and removal of the external auditors;

  • setting the Code of Conduct for the Company and ensuring that appropriate standards of corporate governance and ethics are effectively communicated throughout the Company and complied with;

  • reviewing the adherence by each director to the Directors’ Code of Ethics;

  • establishing policies to ensure that the Company complies with the ASX Continuous Disclosure Policy;

  • approving the Company’s half year and full year reports to the shareholders, ASX and ASIC; and

  • ensuring that recruitment, retention, termination, remuneration, performance review and succession planning policies and procedures are in place and complied with.

Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value

The Board is presently structured to maximise value to the Company and the shareholders. The Board
is of a size and composition that is conducive to making decisions expediently, with the benefit of a
variety of perspectives, experiences and skills.

Board composition

The Board subsequent to 1 August 2014 is composed of four directors. The skills, experience and
expertise relevant to the position of Director held of each Director in office at the date of the annual report
are included in the Directors Report.
It is noted that the Company’s board composition may not be in keeping with the commentary and
guidance to Best Practice Recommendations 2.1. The Board is of the opinion that the current stage of
uncertainty in relation to the future operations of the Company requires the Company to have a board,
which has more of a hands-on and technical experience in order to stabilise the Company.  However,
the board is committed to follow the guidance to Best Practice Recommendations 2.1 by appointing
independent directors to the Board once the future direction of the Company is resolved.
The Board has determined that there are sufficient appropriate alternative governance measures in place
to ensure that non compliance with the recommendations does not give rise to undue risk or other
material concerns relating to the management and oversight of the Company.

Term of office

The members of the Board are elected by the shareholders to ensure that the Board has the appropriate
mix of expertise and experience.
14
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, if a person is appointed as Director during the year, the
Company must confirm appointment by resolution at the Company’s next Annual General Meeting.
One-third of the Board retires and make themselves available for re-election at the following AGM, with
the exception of the Chief Executive Officer. No Director, with the exception of the Chief Executive
Officer, is allowed to retain office for more than 3 years without submitting himself or herself for re-
election.
When a vacancy exists on the Board, the Board appoints the most suitable candidate from a panel of
candidates, who then must stand for election at the next Annual General Meeting if he or she wishes to
continue as a member of the Board in the following year.

Personal interests & conflicts

Directors must not take advantage of their position as Directors and must not allow their personal
interests, or the interests of any associated person to interfere or exert undue influence on their conduct
or decisions as a Director.
Directors also have a duty to avoid conflicts of interest between the best interests of the Company and
their own personal or commercial interests. Conflicts of interest can be either actual or potential. If a
conflict of interest arises, Directors must disclose their interests to the Board immediately. The Directors
concerned must not be present at the meeting while the matter is being considered and must not be
allowed to vote on the matter either.

Independent professional advice

There are procedures in place, agreed by the Board, to enable directors in furtherance of their duties to
seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense.

Board Standing Committees

Due to the size of the Company and present uncertainties the Board has decided not to formally establish
a Nomination Committee.
Although the board established an Audit and Risk Management Committee, at the date of this report,
the Company has not appointed any member to the Committee and as such, the responsibilities and
duties of this Committee were taken up by the Board during the year. The small size and the hands on
approach of the Board enable it to handle particular issues relevant to verifying and safeguarding the
integrity of the Company’s financial reporting with the same efficiency as an Audit and Risk Management
Committee.
Consequently, the Company does not comply with Best Practice Recommendations. However the Board
will keep this position under review.

Summary

In summary, the Company does meet the requirements of Principle 2 of the Corporate Governance
Guidelines in that:
(i) The Board does comprise a majority of independent Directors;
(ii) The Chairperson is an independent Director;
As explained throughout this section, the Board feels that at the present time each of the
recommendations is not cost effective for adoption in a small public company such as AUV Enterprises
Ltd. However the Board will constantly monitor and review the situation.
15

Principle 3 and 10: Promote ethical and responsible decision-making and recognise the legitimate interests of stakeholders

Code of Conduct & Ethics

The Company had a Code of Conduct, which sets the standards in accordance with which each director,
manager and employee of the Company is expected to act. The code is communicated to all levels of
the Company and deals with areas such as professional conduct, customers/consumers, suppliers,
advisers/regulators, competitors, the community and the employees.
In addition to the Code of Conduct, the Company also had a Directors’ Code of Ethics, which sets out
particular issues relevant to directors’ obligations to the Company.

Share trading policy

The constitution permits directors, senior executives and other officers of the Company to trade in
Company shares as long as they comply with the Company’s Share Trading Policy. The Share Trading
Policy is a code that is designed to minimise the potential for insider trading.
Directors must notify the Chairman of the Board, before they buy or sell shares in the Company. If the
Chairman of the Board intends to trade in the Company shares, the Chairman of the Board must give
prior notice to the Chairman of the Audit & Risk Management Committee or the whole Board if there is
no Audit & Risk Management Committee. The details of the share trading must be given to the Company
Secretary who must lodge such details of such changes in with the ASX.
Senior executives must give prior notice to the Chief Executive Officer, while other officers must notify
the Company Secretary, before trading in the Company shares and details of all such transactions must
be given, in writing, to the Company Secretary within 7 business days.
Any changes in substantial shareholding of the Directors, senior executives or other officers must be
reported to the ASX within 2 business days of such trading. The policy also recommends that trading in
the Company shares only occur in the following trading windows:
  • 30 days after the announcement of the Company’s half year results; and

  • 30 days after the announcement of the Company’s full year results.

It is the Board’s responsibility to ensure an effective internal control framework exists within the entity.
This includes internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of significant business
processes, the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records and the reliability
of financial information as well as non financial considerations such as benchmarking of operational key
performance indicators.

Executive Certification

Historically the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) are required to and
have provided assurance to the Board stating that the financial statements and reports of the Company:
  • Present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the operating results and financial condition in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001;

  • Are founded on a system of risk management and internal compliance and control, and these are operating efficiently and effectively in all material aspects.

16
It is the Board’s intention to apply all principles previously adopted on the resumption of quotation on the
ASX including the requirement to obtain assurances from the CEO and the CFO in relation to the
financial statements, systems of risk management and internal controls - in stages as the Company
grows and its circumstances change over time.

Audit & Risk Management Committee – audit responsibilities

The Company currently does not have an audit committee. Historically the board believes a separate
audit committee in a company of this size with the absence of independent Directors would be of little
value. The small size of the company and the hands on approach of the Board enable it to handle
particular issues relevant to verifying and safeguarding the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting
with the same efficiency as an audit committee.
The board is committed to following the Best Practice Recommendation 4.3, and will establish an
independent Audit & Risk Management Committee once independent Directors are appointed and the
Company increases in size.

Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure

Historically, the Company’s market disclosure policy is to ensure that shareholders and the market are
fully informed of the Company’s strategy, performance and details of any information or events that could
be material to the value of the Company’s securities. The Company is committed to ensuring that all
information that may have a material impact on the Company’s share value is disclosed to the market in
a timely and balanced manner.
The Chief Executive Officer and the Company Secretary, in consultation with the Board, are responsible,
for the review, authorisation and disclosure of information to the ASX and for overseeing and
coordinating information disclosures to the ASX, shareholders, brokers, analysts, the media and the
public.
The Company ensures that it also complies with the requirements of the Listing Rules of the Australian
Stock Exchange (“ASX”) and the Corporations Act in providing information to shareholders through:
  • The half-yearly report to the ASX;

  • The annual Report which is distributed to the ASX and to shareholders prior to the AGM;

  • The AGM and other meetings called to obtain approval from shareholders where appropriate;

  • Ad-hoc releases to the ASX as required under the ASX Listing Rules.

It is the Board’s intention to apply all principles previously adopted in a timely manner on the resumption
of quotation on the ASX and achieve all of the Best Practice Recommendations in stages as the
Company grows and its circumstances change over time.

Principle 6: Respect the rights of shareholders

Communication to shareholders

The Company recognises the rights of its shareholders and other interested stakeholders to have easy
access to balanced, understandable and timely information concerning the operations of the Group. The
Chief Executive Officer and the Company Secretary are primarily responsible of ensuring
communications with shareholders are delivered in accordance with this strategy and with our policy of
continuous disclosure.
The Company strives to communicate with shareholders and other stakeholders in a regular manner as
outlined in Principle 5 of this statement.
17
The Board encourages participation of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting or any other
shareholder meetings to ensure a high level of accountability and identification with the Company’s
strategy and goals. Shareholders are requested to vote on the appointment and aggregate remuneration
of Directors, the granting of options and shares to Directors, issue of shares and changes to the
constitution.

Annual General Meeting

Historically, the Board encourages full participation of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to
ensure a high level of accountability and identification with the Company’s strategy and goals.
The Board has also requested representatives from Colin Bloomfield & Associates, the Company’s
external auditor, to be present at the Annual General Meeting to answer questions that shareholders
might have about the scope and conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the auditor’s report,
the accounting policies adopted by the Company and the independence of the auditor.
It is the Boards intention to apply all principles previously adopted on the resumption of quotation on the
ASX and implement all of the Best Practice Recommendations in stages as the Company grows and its
circumstances change.

Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk

Risk management responsibilities

The Company’s risk management framework is designed to identify, assess, monitor and manage
material business risks, both financial and non financial, to minimise their impact on the achievement of
organisational goals.
As no member has been appointed to the Audit & Risk Management Committee, the Board is responsible
for reviewing and ratifying the system of risk management, internal compliance and control, codes of
conduct and legal compliance.
Historically, the Board delegates to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer the
responsibilities for the establishment, implementation and maintenance of the system of risk
management including measures of its effectiveness.
It is the Boards intention to apply all principles previously adopted on the resumption of quotation on the
ASX and achieve all of the Best Practice Recommendations in stages as the Company grows and its
circumstances change over time.

Principle 8: Encourage enhanced performance

Performance evaluation

The Board has responsibility with respect to the following functions:
  • develop policies and procedures to identify, assess and enhance the skills, expertise and competencies of the Directors individually and the Board as a whole; and

  • develop a process and establish the criteria for evaluating the performance of the Directors and the Board as a whole.

Monthly financial results

Historically, the Chief Financial Officer distributes the monthly financial results of the Company to
members of the Board before each monthly Board meeting. This ensures the Board is kept up to date
with all the necessary information to effectively discharge their duties in its discussions and deliberations.
18
The Board is also free to meet and question individual members of management to clarify issues on any
matter pertaining to the Company.
It is the Board’s intention to apply all principles previously adopted – including distribution of monthly
results before each board meeting - on the resumption of quotation on the ASX and implement all of the
Best Practice Recommendations in stages as the Company grows and its circumstances change.

Director induction and training

New Directors will be provided with an induction program to introduce them to the Company structure,
culture and business operations.
Directors are also encouraged to undertake continuous professional development, at the Company’s
expense, to keep their skills up to date.

Principle 9: Remunerate fairly and responsibly

Remuneration responsibilities

The Company’s remuneration policy is disclosed in the Directors’ Report. The policy has been set out to
ensure that the performance of Directors, key executives and staff reflect each person’s accountabilities,
duties and their level of performance, and to ensure that remuneration is competitive in attracting,
motivating and retaining staff of the highest quality. A program of regular performance appraisals and
objective setting for key executives and staff is in place. These annual reviews take into account
individual and company performance, market movements and expert advice.
The Board determines any changes to the remuneration of key executives on an annual basis.
The Board determines and reviews compensation arrangements for the Directors and the executive
team.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended 30 June 2014

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 .

The financial report covers AUV Enterprises Limited and controlled entities (the Consolidated Entity ), and AUV Enterprises Limited as an individual parent entity (the Company or Parent Entity ). The Company is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The financial report of the Consolidated Entity and the Parent Entity comply with all Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ( AIFRS ) in their entirety.

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Consolidated Entity in the
preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless
otherwise stated.

Basis of Preparation

Reporting Basis and Conventions

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs and does
not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current
assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Accounting Policies

  • (a) Going Concern Basis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis notwithstanding that the
company incurred an operating loss after income tax of $924,000 and deficiency in net assets
of $(228,000) as at 30 June 2014 and that the company incurred significant losses and
generated negative cash flows from operations and subsequent over a number of years.
The company is currently in the final process of recapitalizing its operations. Accordingly, the
Directors’ are of the opinion that the company will be able to meets its current trade and other
payables, as well as repay its debts as and when they fall due.  Therefore, the Directors are of
the opinion that the financial statements be prepared on a going concern basis.
In the event that the company is unable to realize its object of obtaining profitable opportunities
or complete any further capital raisings, it will be required to realize its assets and extinguish its
liabilities in a manner other than in the normal course of business such as voluntary
administration.  The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or classification of liabilities that might
be necessary should the company not be able to continue as a going concern.
25

(b) Principles of consolidation

A controlled entity is any entity controlled by the Company.  Control exists where the Company
has the capacity to dominate the decision-making in relation to the financial and operating
policies of another entity so that the other entity operates with the Company to achieve the
objectives of the Company.  Details of the controlled entities are contained in Note 13.
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the Consolidated Entity,
including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation.
Where a controlled entity has entered (or left) the Consolidated Entity during the year its
operating results have been included (or excluded) from the date control was obtained or until
the date control ceased.

(c) Income tax

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any
non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted
or are substantially enacted by the balance date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet method in respect of temporary
differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in
the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition
of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting
or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset
is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it
relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted
directly against equity.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits
will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on
the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation, and the
anticipation that the Consolidated Entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable
the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
AUV Enterprises Limited and its wholly owned subsidiary, Australis Mining Operations Qld Pty
Limited, have been consolidated for tax purposes under the Tax Consolidation System from 6
April 2004.  AUV Enterprises Limited is responsible for recognising the current and deferred tax
assets and liabilities for the consolidated group.  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 taxable profit of the tax consolidated group.

(d) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.  Cost comprises direct
materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead
expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity.
26
  • (e) Property, plant and equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where
applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Property

Freehold land and buildings are shown at their fair value, being the amount for which an asset
could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.  It is
the policy of the Consolidated Entity to have an independent valuation every three years, with
annual appraisals being made by the directors.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on a fair value basis, except for office equipment, which is
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 those assets.  The recoverable amount is assessed
on the basis of the expected net cash flows, which will be received from the assets employment
and subsequent disposal.  The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to present
values in determining the recoverable amount.  An annual appraisal of the fair value is made by
the directors.
The cost of plant constructed by the consolidated entity includes the cost of all materials used
in construction, direct labour on the project and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed
overhead expenditure.  Output produced during commissioning of plant has been valued at cost
and deducted from the costs of construction.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised leased assets, but
excluding freehold land, are depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the
Company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.  Properties held for
investment purposes are not subject to a depreciation charge.  Leasehold improvements are
depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful
lives of the improvements.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are:
Class of fixed asset Depreciation rate
Buildings 25%
Plant and equipment 10% - 25%
  • (f) Leases
Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership
of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to the entities within the Consolidated
Entity, are classified as finance leases.  Finance leases are capitalised, recording an asset and
a liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed
residual values.  Leased assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated
useful lives where it is likely that the Consolidated Entity will obtain ownership of the asset or
over the term of the lease.  Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease
liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with
the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.  Lease incentives
received under operating leases are recognised as a liability.
27

(g) Investments

Non-current investments are recognised at cost.  The carrying amount of investments is
reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of these
investments.  The recoverable amount is assessed from the underlying net assets for non-listed
companies.  The expected net cash flows from investments have been discounted to their
present value in determining the recoverable amounts.
  • (h) Mine Development & Exploration

Exploration Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of
interest.  The expenditure is carried forward in the financial statements, in respect of areas of
interest for which the rights of tenure are current and where:
  • such costs are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or, alternatively, its sale; or

  • where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the
year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

Mine Development Expenditure

Mine development expenditure represents the acquisition costs and/or accumulation of
exploration, evaluation and development expenditure in respect of areas of interest in which
mining has commenced.  When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant
area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the
economically recoverable reserves.
When further development expenditure is incurred in respect of a mine property after the
commencement of production, such expenditure is carried forward as part of Development
Expenditure only when substantial future economic benefits are thereby established, otherwise
such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of production.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of
continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

Provision for rehabilitation

Rehabilitation, restoration and decommissioning obligations associated with the retirement or
disposal of mine site assets to be recognised when the disturbance and obligation occurs.
The provision is measured at the present value of the future expenditure and a corresponding
asset is also recognised.  The capitalised cost is amortised over the life of the project and a
provision is increased as further disturbance occurs which creates a further obligation to
rehabilitate.  Associated discounting of the liability unwinds throughout the life of the provision;
with this unwind being recognised as an interest expense.
In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent
of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs
have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of
abandoning the site.
  • (i) Foreign currency transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions during the year are converted to Australian currency at the rates
of exchange applicable at the dates of the transactions.  Amounts receivable and payable in
foreign currencies at balance date are converted at the rates of exchange ruling at that date.
28

(j) Employee benefits

Provisions are made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services
rendered by employees to balance date.  Employee benefits expected to be settled within one
year together with benefits arising from wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave which
will be settled after one year, have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when
the liability is settled plus related on-costs.  Other 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.
Contributions are made by the Consolidated Entity to an employee superannuation fund and are
charged as expenses when incurred.

(k) Revenue

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers.
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates
applicable to the financial assets.
Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.
Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the
customers.

(l) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the
amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office.  In these
circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of
an item of the expense.  Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are
shown inclusive of GST.
  • (m) Rounding of Amounts
The parent entity has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Class Order 98/100 and,
accordingly, amounts in the financial report and directors’ report have been rounded off to the
nearest $1,000.

(n) Comparative Figures

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

(d) Compensation Practices

The Company’s policy for determining the nature and amount of compensation of key management
personnel of the Company is as follows:
The compensation structure for key management personnel, is based on a number of factors, including
length of service, particular experience of the individual concerned, and overall performance of the
Company.  The contracts for service between the Company and key management personnel are on a
continuing basis the terms of which are not expected to change in the immediate future.  Upon
retirement key management personnel are paid employee benefit entitlements accrued to date of
retirement.
The Company may terminate the contracts without cause by providing 1 month written notice or
making payment in lieu of notice based on the individual’s annual salary component together with any
applicable redundancy payment as recommended by State-based legislation.  Termination payments
are generally not payable on resignation or dismissal for serious misconduct.  In the instance of serious
misconduct the Company can terminate employment at any time.
The group seeks to emphasize payment for results through a cash bonus scheme.  The scheme provides
for payment of a cash bonus upon achievement of key performance indicators (“KPIs”) such as return
on equity.  Bonuses were not paid or provided for in the 2006 financial year as the KPIs were not met.
The objective of the reward schemes is to both reinforce the short and long-term goals of the Company
and to provide a common interest between management and shareholders.
