CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS,

It is with great pride that I write this year’s report. The past 18 months have seen DGR Global continue to build strong foundations under the existing stable of sponsored companies, continuing the focus on value restoration. From a market perspective, whilst this period may at times have seemed counter-productive as our share price failed to reflect underlying and structural value improvements, it is important to remember that with time, consistency and belief in DGR’s ultimate business model, our share price will ultimately mirror our true underlying value.

Having had the benefit of 30 years in the listed public company sector, I must say that I am finding markets increasingly sentimental, often eschewing the long-term accretion of value in a flight to new styles of investment alternatives in the hope of short-term profit. Quite deliberately, DGR Global continues to focus on the long game, banking on the continuing global demands that underpin and fuel the world’s ongoing urban and technological development. The global mega trends of our time point to an increasing population, increasing urbanization, increasing life expectancies, an increase in the middle classes in the BRIC economies, and the ever-increasing demands for energy across the board. All of these trends require the production and consumption of more, not less, natural resources. The generation of projects in globally demanded natural resources will therefore remain at the core of DGR Global’s business model. We strongly believe there is strength in diversity and in our ability to adapt our portfolio to meet changing market conditions and demands.

During the 2018 financial year, we welcomed Ben Cleary on to the DGR Global Board as part of our broader corporate relationship with Tribeca Investment Partners, which also includes a Convertible Note financing facility. We have found both Tribeca and Ben to be an excellent fit with the DGR Global ethos, and we look forward to many productive years working together. As co-author of the August 2018 Tribeca Global Natural Resources Fund Annual Investment Letter, Ben wrote that “while the natural resources sector will always be incredibly volatile thanks to the cyclical nature of demand and the ever-present misallocation of capital from producers, the sector will be much higher in twenty years because the world is generally short in most commodities.”

DGR Global, via its project pipeline and its investments in its sponsored listed entities, currently offers investors exposure to a range of ‘traditional’ resource commodities (copper, gold, iron ore, oil & gas, bauxite) and those commodities that have come to be associated with ‘technological’ developments, particularly in the design and production of batteries (lithium, cobalt, tin, nickel). In the same way, DGR Global offers diversity not only as a mitigation for commodity risk, but also country risk, key personnel risk and financial market risk. However, the Board and management of DGR Global are acutely aware that the investment market does not presently ascribe value to these attributes, and is cognizant of the of the need to continue to review and evolve the Company’s strategy, business plan and market messaging to improve the price at which the Company’s shares are traded.

2018 Annual Report

3

In relation to the gap that currently exists between our market capitalisation and our net asset value, we have observed that businesses that generate above average growth in net assets over a sustained period of time are ultimately able to trade at parity, or above their NTA, where there are some reasonable barriers to entry or a reasonable competitive advantage exists. In this regard I note that DGR’s compound annual growth rate for its market valued NTA over the last 5 year period (after adjusting for capital raised by DGR) approximates 40% whilst the stock market in general has generated a compound annual growth rate of approximately 9% (S&P ASX 200 Accum Index) over the same timeframe. Whilst this is not strictly an “apples for apples” comparison, it does provide some basis for DGR’s belief in its model, and the fruit that it will ultimately bear for shareholders. We believe DGR Global’s competitive advantage to be our sustained ability to generate, manage and finance provincial scale projects from the ground up on the back of our macro views.

In the coming 12-24 months, DGR Global will aim to add not only Auburn Resources and the Ugandan Oil Project to its range of sponsored listed investments, but will also aim to add further projects and investments into the DGR stable. As stated earlier, continuous exploration for new opportunities and large-scale projects is the core of our business model. In looking at other successful diversified resource industry players and investment vehicles, it is clear that the market is prepared to ascribe a higher pricing to those companies that have eight or more portfolio interests, including a number that derive income. Accordingly, at full maturity, the DGR Global business model would have a greater number of portfolio interests or investments, have a number of investments that generate income, be self-funding from a project generation and investment perspective, obviating the need for capital raisings, and operate profitably, lending itself to the payment of dividends.

My fellow Board members and the Company’s management team continue to work on the evolution and maturity of the Company’s business model, and I thank them for their continued efforts in this regard.

Each of us have skin in the game, and we are committed to achieving a pay day for all.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

DGR Global Limited’s (DGR, DGR Global, the Company, the Group) business is resource-project generation and discovery across a range of commodities, including copper, gold, nickel, tin, iron ore, titanium, bauxite, lithium, cobalt, oil and gas. The group focuses on delivering value through discovery of ore bodies by the application of innovative exploration techniques and reassessment strategies of existing pre-development projects and to new greenfields areas. DGR Global is generating and developing several independently funded and managed resource companies in order to progress each of these projects. The company maintains its cornerstone investor position in subsidiaries that move to listing on a recognised stock exchange as illustrated in Figure 1.

A detailed summary of the Company’s corporate and project developments for the year is set out below.

Auburn Resources Limited is focused on the discovery and development of copper, gold nickel, cobalt and zinc deposits in Eastern Queensland. The company holds a portfolio of 4 very prospective exploration project areas (including early stage resources) with huge upside potential. The four project areas (refer Figure 2 over the page) contain at least 16 prospects, with several drill ready targets.

As announced by DGR to the ASX on 3 July 2017[23] , Auburn has delineated substantial nickel-copper-cobalt soil anomalies interpreted to be the tops of large sulphide deposits on several prospects in the north western section of the Hawkwood Project Area (refer Figure 3 over the page). The central axis of the northernmost anomalies are up to 4,200 parts per million (ppm) nickel – 50 times background, with cobalt up to 1130 ppm and copper up to 1380 ppm (refer Figure 4 over the page). The Ni-Cu-Co has coincident gold, platinum and palladium typical of sulphide deposits (and not a characteristic of enrichment of silicates due to weathering processes). The prospects are zoned laterally with respect of these metals – typical of sulphides, and they do not have evidence of nickel silicates such as serpentinite.

The prospects occur within a previously unexplored gabbro complex similar to Norilsk, Nova and Voiseys Bay (though of different geological age to Nova and Voiseys Bay), rather than in an ultrabasic complex rich in background nickel silicates. The iron rich laterites here are lower in nickel, copper and cobalt than the adjacent soils.

EXPLORATION/DEVELOPMENT OF UNLISTED SUBSIDIARIES/PROJECTS (CONT.) AUBURN RESOURCES (CONT.)

Auburn currently has ten (10) copper gold prospects within the four project areas, including Main Top, Titi Creek and Nerangy Porphyry within the Hawkwood Project area. Figures 5 and 6 show just 2 of these prospects.

Auburn and DGR geoscientists have reviewed all the historical drill data for the Ban Ban Zinc Deposit held on MDL 409. The tenement has an orebody that has historically been deemed too small to be economic. For the first time, the historical drilling data has been digitised and modelled in modern powerful 3D software. As shown in Figure 7, this reappraisal work has led to the identification of a drill ready exploration target at Ban Ban of approximately 2 million tonnes to approximately 5 million tonnes, grading approximately 7% zinc to approximately 10% zinc, and approximately 8 g/t silver to approximately 10 g/t of silver. It should be noted that the potential grade and tonnage is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource, and that it is uncertain if future exploration will result in the estimation of an economic Mineral Resource. The Company is planning an exploration program to prove up the target in the next 12 months.

EXPLORATION/DEVELOPMENT OF UNLISTED SUBSIDIARIES/PROJECTS (CONT.) PINNACLE GOLD (94% OWNED BY DGR)

Pinnacle Gold has now secured substantial and extensive gold exploration tenements south of Charters Towers in Queensland (refer Figure 8). Most of the area is soil covered, with previous exploration efforts by earlier explorers largely confined to areas of outcrop and focussed on mapping and sampling known workings. Only two areas have been drilled. No one has ever done a systematic geochemical survey yet the area clearly lies on potentially mineralising structures (Charters Towers – Black Jack – Mt Leyshon). It would appear that earlier explorers have been distracted by small high grade gold bearing quartz veins with no size potential. Significant stream anomalism may not all be due to “noise” from small veins (refer Figure 9).

==> picture [351 x 488] intentionally omitted <==

After reviewing the historical exploration programs Pinnacle considers it is time to re-think how to explore this mostly soil covered area. Looking for large targets, Pinnacle has commenced a field program of low gold detection limit soil lines on a grid pattern with infill gridding of any elevated results. Also, further investigation will be undertaken of some identified areas of high gold stream sediment geochemistry that have had limited follow up.

EXPLORATION/DEVELOPMENT OF UNLISTED SUBSIDIARIES/PROJECTS (CONT.) COOLGARRA MINERALS (100% OWNED BY DGR)

Coolgarra Minerals holds 3 granted EPMs and 1 EPM application south of Greenvale in Queensland, and one EPM west of Theodore in Central Queensland as shown in Figure 10.

As announced to the ASX on 9 February 2017[21] , Coolgarra has identified several strong gold and cobalt targets during recent field work. The initial exploration program was focused around several historical small scale mining areas, in particular Wally’s Hope and Janelle’s Hope Prospects in the southern section of EPM 19270, and what is recorded as a long (several kilometres) stratabound gold occurrence in the northern section now referred to as Wade’s Prospect.

Figure 11 is a satellite image of the southern section of EPM 19270 showing the soil grid lines, where each red diamond indicates a soil sample taken and assayed. A macro overview of the soil gold concentrations is

==> picture [352 x 424] intentionally omitted <==

evident by plotting the soil gold contours at >25 ppb (parts per billion), >50 ppb, and >100 ppb.

A highlight was a one metre wide surface exposure of non-veined sediments on the western side of the Wally’s Hope Prospect assaying 40.3 g/t gold (refer Figure 12). The Wally’s Hope Prospect clearly presents several walk up gold drill targets which are accessible from existing tracks on the EPM. As evident from the underlying geology, the gold would seem to occur mainly as disseminations in calcareous sediments, and over several kilometres. The potential therefore exists for a large scale gold discovery.

EXPLORATION/DEVELOPMENT OF UNLISTED SUBSIDIARIES/PROJECTS (CONT.) COOLGARRA MINERALS (CONT.)

Figure 13 shows an overview of the northern section of EPM 19270 on magnetic imagery. Again, the red diamonds indicate a soil sample taken and assayed. Stream sediments were also taken for cobalt, and several rock chip samples are shown by the blue dots. Coolgarra Minerals has an uncontested application for an exploration permit over the northern extension of the Wade’s Prospect where historical data suggests the gold mineralization continues stratabound for several kilometres beyond the recent exploration.

As revealed at the Wally’s Hope Prospect much further south, the soil sampling indicates that the gold occurs as disseminations within calcareous sediments. The highest gold in soil recorded was 1.1 ppm, or 1.1 g/t. The company considers this to indicate “Carlin” style potential. Quartz veins did not return gold values over 0.3 g/t. Wade’s Prospect has equally demonstrated that it is highly prospective for cobalt. The soil sampling revealed extensive cobalt mineralization, with a maximum soil result of 0.13% Co. To the north of the cobalt mineralized area revealed by the soil sampling, rock chip sampling of asbolite float assayed 1.1% Co, 0.13% Cu and 0.54% Ni.

Wade’s Prospect Soil Sample Grid on northern section of EPM 19270

As with the Wally’s Hope Prospect further south on EPM 19270, Wade’s Prospect clearly presents several walk up drill targets for gold and cobalt. DGR Global will now consider the forward exploration program and options for funding an initial drill campaign later in the year.

MINERAL RESOURCES

As announced to the ASX on 4 August 2014[22] , following a drilling program, the Shamrock Tailings Dam contains a JORC 2012 compliant Mineral Resource of:

– indicated: 770,000 tonnes @ 0.58 g/t Au for 450,000 grams (14,000 ounces) gold; and

  • inferred: 770,000 tonnes @ 11 g/t Ag for 8,242,400 grams (265,000 ounces) silver.

There has been no change to this Mineral Resource since that time.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

DGR Global aims to hold its key positions in the listed resource companies that it has created as they mature and develop. This review has outlined several unlisted subsidiaries that may progress to listing within the next 12-18 months, depending on market conditions.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONT.)

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONT.)

POSITION AT 30 JUNE 2018 AND POSITION AT THE DATE OF THIS REPORT

FINANCIAL POSITION

The net assets of the Group have decreased by $31,483,657 to $103,364,666 as at 30 June 2018 from

  • $134,848,323 as at 30 June 2017. This decrease has largely resulted from:

  • decrease in value of SolGold plc investment accounted for as assets at fair value through other other comprehensive income.

During the past year the Group has continued investing in its mineral exploration tenements.

TREASURY POLICY

The Group does not have a formally established treasury function. The Board is responsible for managing the Group’s currency risks and finance facilities. The Group does not currently undertake hedging of any kind.

LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING

On 22 August 2017, the Group reached an agreement with Tribeca Investment Partners for up to $10 million in convertible note funding. The agreement provides for an initial $8 million subscription of notes, maturing in 2 years time at 20 cents per note, and convertible at 20 cents per DGR share. On 26 September 2018, DGR Global Ltd requested to draw down of the remaining $2 million under the facility. At 30 June 2018 the cash balance of the Group was $2,841,511. Together the Group’s cash, the Tribeca funding, and the Group’s ability to sell interests in its listed investments will provide the Group with sufficient funding for a minimum of 12 months from the date of this report.

OPERATING RESULTS

For the year ended 30 June 2018, the Group loss after income tax was $74,792 (2017 profit of $2,652,740). The loss for the year has been largely driven by:

  • fair value adjustments on convertible notes;

  • interest income on convertible notes;

  • gain recognised on loss of significant influence of Dark Horse Resources Limited;

  • management fee income;

  • reversal of impairment on equity accounted investments; and

  • recognition of share of associate losses.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

In the opinion of the Directors there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group that occurred during the financial year under review not otherwise disclosed in this report or the financial statements of the Group for the financial year.

2018 Annual Report

25

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER REPORTING DATE

On 23 July 2018, the shareholders of Auburn Resources Limited approved a 3 to 1 share consolidation. Subsequently, Auburn Resources Limited raised $1,150,000 by the issue of shares at 10 cents each comprising of the conversion of $850,000 of debt to equity by DGR Global, a drilling contractor and key executives and 1:1 rights issue to raise $300,000.

On 26 September 2018, DGR Global Limited announced that it had reached agreement with Tribeca Investment Partners (Tribeca) for a series of amendments to the terms of the $10 million convertible note funding arrangements originally announced to the market on 22 August 2017. The material terms of the amendments agreed are as follows:

  1. additional $2m in funding provided (ie. $10m now drawn);

  2. the convertible note facility is now secured;

  3. the entire $10m convertible note facility now matures in 2 years time, representing an effective 12 month extension for the initial $8m in funding drawn in 2017;

  4. coupon rate remains at 12% per annum, but payable in cash; and

  5. conversion price remains unchanged at 20 cents per note, for all notes issued.

The Directors are not aware of any other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group or events after the reporting date that would have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

FUTURE LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES

Likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of those operations in subsequent financial years have been discussed where appropriate in the Annual Report under Review of Operations and Future Developments.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE

The Group is subject to environmental regulation in relation to its exploration activities. The Group has conducted an extensive review of the environmental status of the Mining Leases and has estimated the potential costs for future rehabilitation and restoration to be $1,217,380. There are no matters that have arisen in relation to environmental issues up to the date of this report.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

REMUNERATION POLICY

The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and Executives.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors and the Executive team.

DGR Global Limited and controlled entities

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONT.)

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONT.) REMUNERATION POLICY (CONT.)

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and Executive team. Such officers are given the opportunity to receive their base remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits. It is intended that the manner of payments chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company. Further details on the remuneration of Directors and Executives are set out in this Remuneration Report.

The Company aims to reward the Executive Director and Senior Management with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company. The Board’s policy is to align Director and Executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering long-term incentives. During the year the Group did not engage the services of Remuneration consultants. In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive Director and Executive Director and Senior Management remuneration is separate and distinct.

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. The Company’s specific policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of Board members of the Company is as follows.

The Constitution of the Company provides that the Non-Executive Directors are entitled to remuneration as determined by the Company in general meeting to be apportioned among them in such manner as the Directors agree and, in default of agreement, equally. The aggregate remuneration currently determined by the Company is $350,000 per annum. Additionally, Non-Executive Directors are entitled to be reimbursed for properly incurred expenses.

If a Non-Executive Director performs extra services, which in the opinion of the Directors are outside the scope of the ordinary duties of the Director, the Company may remunerate that Director by payment of a fixed sum determined by the Directors in addition to or instead of the remuneration referred to above. However, no payment can be made if the effect would be to exceed the maximum aggregate amount payable to NonExecutive Directors. A Non-Executive Director is entitled to be paid travelling and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending Director’s or general meetings of the Company or otherwise in connection with the business of the Company. All Directors have the opportunity to qualify for participation in the Directors’ and Executive Officers’ option plan, subject to the approval of shareholders. The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the year ended 30 June 2018 is detailed in this Remuneration Report.

2018 Annual Report

27

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT REMUNERATION

The Company aims to reward the Executive Director and Senior Management with a level and mix of

remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and so as to:

  • reward Executives for company and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks;

  • align the interests of Executives with those of shareholders;

  • link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and

  • ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

The remuneration of the Executive Director and Senior Management may from time to time be fixed by the Board. The remuneration will comprise a fixed remuneration component and also may include offering specific short and long-term incentives, in the form of:

  • performance based salary increases and/or bonuses; and/or

  • the issue of options.

During 2018 there were no discretionary bonuses paid (2017: $100,000). There were no performace based salary increases or options issued that were performance related. All Directors and Executives have the opportunity to qualify for participation in the Directors’ and Executive Officers’ Option Plan, subject to the approval of shareholders. All employees have the opportunity to qualify for participation in the DGR Global Employee Share Option Plan. The remuneration of the Executive Director and Senior Management for the year ended 30 June 2018 is detailed in this Remuneration Report.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REMUNERATION AND COMPANY PERFORMANCE

The Company and its subsidiaries’ principal activity is mineral exploration and accordingly does not generate any revenues from operations and historically has generated losses. The Company listed on the ASX on 21 August 2003. The following table shows the share price at the end of the financial year for the Company for the last five (5) years.

2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
Share price at year end $0.03 $0.036 $0.025 $0.135 $0.09
Dividend declared - $0.0025 - - -
Earnings(loss) per share(cents) (1.5) 1.6 0.1 0.5 (0.0)

During the year ended 30 June 2018 the market price of the Company’s ordinary shares ranged from a low of $0.084 to a high of $0.14.

As the Company is still in the exploration and development stage, the link between remuneration, company performance and shareholder wealth is tenuous. Share prices are subject to the influence of metals prices and market sentiment toward the sector, and as such increases or decreases may occur quite independent of Executive performance or remuneration.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONT.)

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONT.) EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS

It is the Board’s policy that employment agreements are entered into with all Executive Directors, Executives and employees.

Rather the amount of compensation is determined by the Board in accordance with the remuneration policy set out above.

The current employment agreement with the Managing Director has a notice period of three (3) months. All other Executive employment agreements have between 1 and 3 months notice periods. No current employment contracts contain early termination clauses. The terms of appointment for Non-Executive Directors are set out in letters of appointment.

PERFORMANCE INCOME AS A PROPORTION OF TOTAL REMUNERATION

Performance-based bonuses are paid on set monetary figures, rather than proportions of salaries. The remuneration committee has set these bonuses to encourage achievement of specific goals that have been given a high level of importance in relation to the future growth of the consolidated Group.

The remuneration committee will review the performance bonuses to gauge their effectiveness against achievement of the set goals, and adjust future years’ incentives as they see fit, to ensure the most cost effective and efficient methods.

There were no discretionary bonus payments made during the year ended 30 June 2018 (2017: $100,000).

SHARES AND OPTIONS ISSUED IN DGR GLOBAL AS PART OF REMUNERATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

Shares and options are not issued based on performance criteria, as the Board does not consider this appropriate for a junior exploration company. Options are issued to the majority of key management personnel and executives to align comparative shareholder return and reward for Directors and executives.

The terms and conditions of the grant of options over ordinary shares affecting remuneration of directors and other key management personnel during the financial year ended 30 June 2018 or future reporting years are as follows.

FINANCIAL REPORT (CONT.)

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CORPORATE INFORMATION

The consolidated financial report of DGR Global Limited for the year ended 30 June 2018 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 28 September 2018.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

This financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

The financial report covers the Group comprising of DGR Global Limited and its subsidiaries and is presented in Australian dollars.

COMPLIANCE WITH IFRS

Australian Accounting Standards include Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial statements and notes of DGR Global Limited comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations.

HISTORICAL COST CONVENTION

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:

  • financial assets carried at fair value through other comprehensive income – measured at fair value;

  • – convertible notes payable at fair value through profit or loss – measured at fair value.

FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollar ($) which is DGR Global Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

GOING CONCERN

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

2018 Annual Report

51

For the year ended 30 June 2018 the Group generated a consolidated loss after tax of $74,792 and incurred operating cash outflows of $3,798,812. As at 30 June 2018 the Group had $2,841,511 in cash and cash equivalents, net current assets of $2,908,491 and net assets of $103,394,666.

On 22 August 2017, the Group reached an agreement with Tribeca Investment Partners for up to $10 million in convertible note funding. The agreement provides for an initial $8 million subscription of notes, maturing in 2 years time at 20 cents per note, and convertible at 20 cents per DGR share. On 26 September 2018, DGR Global Limited requested to draw down of the remaining $2 million under the facility.

Together with the Tribeca convertible note funding and DGR’s ability to sell down investments in listed entities, the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

(B) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of DGR Global Limited and its subsidiaries as at and for the period ended 30 June each year (the “Group”).

(B) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION / SUBSIDIARIES

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances, transactions, unrealized gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends have been eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

Investments in subsidiaries held by DGR Global Limited are accounted for at cost in the separate financial statements of the parent entity less any impairment charges. Dividends received from subsidiaries are recorded as a component of other revenues by the parent entity, and do not impact the recorded cost of the investment. Upon receipt of dividend payments from subsidiaries, the parent will assess whether any indicators of impairment of the carrying value of the investment in the subsidiary exist. Where such indicators exist, to the extent that the carrying value of the investment exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting involves recognising at acquisition date, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are measured at their acquisition date fair values.

The difference between the above items and the fair value of consideration (including the fair value of any preexisting investment in the acquiree) is goodwill or discount on acquisition.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

DGR Global Limited and controlled entities

54

FINANCIAL REPORT (CONT.)

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

(B) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION / SUBSIDIARIES (CONT.)

Where goodwill forms part of a cash generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash generating unit retained.

Non-controlling interests are allocated their share of net profit after tax in the statement of comprehensive income and presented within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent.

Losses are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance.

(B) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION / ASSOCIATES

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition.

The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income where applicable. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

When the Group’s share of losses in an associate is equal to or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

2018 Annual Report

55

(B) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION / JOINT ARRANGEMENTS / JOINT OPERATIONS

The proportionate interests in the assets, liabilities and expenses of a joint operation activity have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate headings.

(B) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION / JOINT ARRANGEMENTS / JOINT VENTURES

Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the joint venture is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in joint ventures are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the consolidated entity’s share of net assets of the joint venture. Goodwill relating to the joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Dividends receivable from joint venture entities reduces the carrying amount of the investment.

(B) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION / CHANGES IN OWNERSHIP INTERESTS

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of DGR Global Limited.

When the Group ceases to have control, or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

(C) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity issued by the acquirer, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

FINANCIAL REPORT (CONT.)

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

(C) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (CONT.)

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value through profit and loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised in accordance with AASB 139 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured.

(D) OPERATING SEGMENTS

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This may include start-up operations which are yet to earn revenues.

Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria as prescribed by AASB 8 are reported separately. However, an operating segment that does not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements. Information about other operating segments that are below the quantitative criteria are combined and disclosed in a separate category for “all other segments”.

(E) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

2018 Annual Report

57

(F) TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

Receivables generally have 30-60 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for impairment. The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

(G) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS / RECOGNITION AND INITIAL MEASUREMENT

Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.

(G) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS / CLASSIFICATION AND SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT / FINANCIAL ASSETS AT AMORTISED COST

Financial assets at amortised cost are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(G) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS / CLASSIFICATION AND SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT / FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets. These assets are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in the profit or loss.

Convertible note receivables are held at fair value through profit or loss as the convertible feature does not meet the requirements of being held to collect soley payment of principle and interest and therefore cannot be carried at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. The coupon rate received periodically over the term of the notes is classified as part of the fair value gain or loss in other income.

(G) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS / CLASSIFICATION AND SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT / FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Equity investments are classified as being at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income. After initial recognition at fair value (being cost), the Company has elected to present in Other Comprehensive Income changes in the fair value of equity instrument investments.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

(G) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS / CLASSIFICATION AND SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT / FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (CONT.)

Unrealised gains and losses on investments are recognised in the financial assets revaluation reserve until the investment is sold or otherwise disposed of, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is transferred to retained earnings.

The Company derecognises an investment when it is sold or it transfers the investment and the transfer qualifies for derecognition in accordance with AASB 9. Upon derecognition, unrealised gains/losses net of tax relating to the investment are transferred from the financial assets revaluation reserve to profits appropriation reserve.

  • (G) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS / CLASSIFICATION AND SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT / FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, except for convertible notes which are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.

(G) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS / FAIR VALUE

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities, where appropriate, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other revenue when the Company’s right to receive payments is established (refer note 11) and as long as they represent a return on investment.

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in other income or other expenses in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as applicable. Interest income from these financial assets is included in the net gains/(losses). Dividend income is presented as other revenue.

Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in note 31.

2018 Annual Report

59

(G) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS / DERECOGNITION

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognized where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit of loss.

(G) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS / IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

An assessment is made at each balance date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a specific financial asset or a group of financial assets may be impaired. If such evidence exists, the estimated recoverable amount of that asset is determined from available information such as quoted market prices or by calculating the net present value of future anticipated cash flows. In estimating these cash flows, management makes judgments about a counter-party’s financial situation and the net realisable value of any underlying collateral. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss.

Impairment losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method are calculated by comparing the carrying value of the asset with the present value of estimated future cash flows at the original effective interest rate.

(H) PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT

Property, plant & equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of property, plant & equipment constructed within the Group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable costs. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss during the financial year in which they are incurred.

DGR Global Limited and controlled entities

FINANCIAL REPORT (CONT.)

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

(H) PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT / DEPRECIATION

The depreciable amount of all property, plant & equipment is depreciated over their useful life to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. 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 assets are:

Class of property, plant & equipment Depreciation Freehold building 2.5% straight line Plant and equipment 10-35% straight line Computers and office equipment 33.3% straight line Furniture and fittings 20% straight line Motor vehicles 25% straight line

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss.

(H) PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT / DERECOGNITION

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.

(I) EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. Such expenditures comprise net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure but do not include overheads or administration expenditure not having a specific nexus with a particular area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves and active or significant operations in relation to the area are continuing. A regular review has been undertaken on each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

A provision is raised against exploration and evaluation assets where the Directors are of the opinion that the carried forward net cost may not be recoverable or the right of tenure in the area lapses. The increase in the provision is charged against the results for the year. 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.

2018 Annual Report

61

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.

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the area from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structure, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. 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 restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.

(J) IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the profit or loss.

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

(K) TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES

Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and due to their short term nature they are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30-60 days of recognition.

(L) PROVISIONS AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS / PROVISIONS

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in profit or loss net of any reimbursement.

DGR Global Limited and controlled entities

62

FINANCIAL REPORT (CONT.)

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

(L) PROVISIONS AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS / PROVISIONS (CONT.)

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised in finance costs.

(L) PROVISIONS AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS / EMPLOYEE BENEFITS / WAGES, SALARIES AND ANNUAL LEAVE

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Expenses for nonaccumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.

(L) PROVISIONS AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS / EMPLOYEE BENEFITS / LONG SERVICE LEAVE

The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wages and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on Australian Corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(M) LEASES

Leases of property, plant & equipment where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to the Group are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the year.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the Group will obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease. Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses on a straight line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2018 Annual Report

63

(N) SHARE CAPITAL

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown as a deduction from the equity proceeds, net of any income tax benefit.

(O) SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

The Group may provide benefits to Directors, employees or consultants in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby services may be undertaken in exchange for shares or options over shares (“equitysettled transactions”).

The fair value of options granted to Directors, employees and consultants is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity (share-based payments reserve). The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the recipients become unconditionally entitled to the options. Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. An expense is still recognised for options that do not ultimately vest because a market condition was not met.

Where the terms of options are modified, the expense continues to be recognised from grant date to vesting date as if the terms had never been changed. In addition, at the date of the modification, a further expense is recognised for any increase in fair value of the transaction as a result of the change.

Where options are cancelled, they are treated as if vesting occurred on cancellation and any unrecognised expenses are taken immediately to the profit or loss. If new options are substituted for the cancelled options and designated as a replacement, the combined impact of the cancellation and replacement options are treated as if they were a modification.

(P) REVENUE

Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised.

(P) REVENUE / SERVICES

Management fees are recognised as services are provided.

(P) REVENUE / INTEREST

Interest revenue is recognized as interest accrues using the effective interest rate method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(Q) INCOME TAX

The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.

The 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 recongised 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 is 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 expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss except where it relates to items that may be recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case the deferred tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly against equity respectively. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilised.

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.

DGR Global Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. DGR Global Limited is responsible for recognising the current tax assets and liabilities and deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses for the tax consolidation group. The tax consolidated group have entered a tax funding agreement whereby each company in the tax consolidation group contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidation group.

2018 Annual Report

65

(R) GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST except where GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(S) BORROWINGS

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of consideration received net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.

(T) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit (loss) attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into

account:

  • the after tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares; and

  • the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(U) FOREIGN CURRENCIES

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group entities are measured using the currency of

the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the ‘functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

(U) FOREIGN CURRENCIES (CONT.)

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency 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 translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve at the balance date.

(V) COMPARATIVES

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

(W) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principle market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interest. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

(X) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

(X) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS / KEY JUDGMENTS / EXPLORATION & EVALUATION ASSETS

The Group performs regular reviews on each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. These reviews are based on detailed surveys and analysis of drilling results performed to balance date.

The Directors have assessed that for the exploration and evaluation assets recognised at 30 June 2018, the facts and circumstances do not suggest that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount. In considering this the Directors have had regard to the facts and circumstances that indicate a need for an impairment as noted in Accounting Standard AASB 6 “ Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources ”.

Exploration and evaluation assets at 30 June 2018 were $6,572,307 (2017: $4,428,211).

(X) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS / KEY JUDGMENTS / SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE OVER ASSOCIATES

The Group currently holds between 20% and 50% of the issued ordinary shares of certain companies and management considered whether the Group had control over these companies and accordingly whether these companies should be consolidated into the Group. Several factors including but not limited to the relative proportion of other large shareholders, composition of the Board and the ability to direct decisions arrived at during Board meetings were considered. Based on the factors considered, it was concluded that the Group does not control these companies but rather has the ability to exert significant influence. Accordingly, the Group’s investments in these companies have been accounted for under the equity accounting method.

(X) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS / KEY JUDGMENTS / CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLES

The Group’s convertible notes have been treated as a financial liability, in accordance with the principles set out in AASB 132. The key criterion for liability classification is whether there is an unconditional right to avoid delivery of cash for another financial asset to settle the contractual obligation. The terms and conditions applicable to the convertible notes require the Group to settle the obligation in either cash, or in the Company’s own shares.

FINANCIAL REPORT (CONT.)

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

(X) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS / KEY JUDGMENTS / CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLES (CONT.)

The notes are convertible into ordinary shares of the parent entity, at the option of the holder, or repayable in October 2019. The conversion rate is based on a variable formula subject to adjustments for share price movement. Management determined that these terms give rise to a derivative financial liability. The initial consideration received for the note was deemed to be fair value of the liability at the issue date. The liability will subsequently be recognised on a fair value basis at each reporting period.

(X) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS / KEY JUDGMENTS / CONVERTIBLE NOTE RECEIVABLES

The Armour Energy convertible notes are measured at fair value through profit or loss for financial reporting purposes. As the Armour Energy convertible notes are not traded in an active market, its fair value is estimated by discounting the stream of future interest and principal payments at the rate of interest prevailing at the reporting date for instruments of similar term and risk (the market interest rate), and adding this value to the value of the convertibility feature which is estimated using a Black-Scholes model based on assumptions including risk free interest rate, expected dividend yield, expected volatility and expected remaining life of the Armour Energy convertible notes receivable. Any resulting change in fair value is reflected on the profit or loss under the classification Other Income (as disclosed in note 2 of the Financial Report). Management estimates that the market interest rate on similar borrowings without the conversion feature was approximately 22% and has used an implied volatility of 55.81% volatility in valuing the convertibility feature.

Refer to Note 31 which summarises the quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in level 3 fair value measurements.

(X) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS / KEY JUDGMENTS / SHARE BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS

The Group 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 the BlackScholes 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 the profit or loss and equity.

In order to recoup carried forward losses in future periods, either the Continuity of Ownership Test (COT) or Same Business Test must be passed. The majority of losses are carried forward at 30 June 2018 under COT.

Deferred tax assets which have not been recognised as an asset, will only be obtained if:

  1. the Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the losses to be realised;

  2. the Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and

  3. no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the losses.

LOAN WITH ARMOUR ENERGY LIMITED

On 30 September 2015, DGR Global Limited executed an unsecured loan agreement with Armour Energy Limited for the provision of $15 million. The original term of the facility was through to 31 March 2016. Provision was made in the agreement for Armour to seek up to a 12 month extension, only on the basis it is able to provide the following:

  • a first ranking security and mortgage over unsecured Surat Basin Assets and a fixed and floating charge over the assets of Armour and subsidiaries and the assets of those subsidiaries;

  • the grant of a 0.5 per cent gross sales royalty over production from the Surat Basin Assets;

  • the grant of 50,000,000 options; and

  • a right to convert no more than 50% of any part of the drawn part of the facility to share equity in Armour at any time, at 90% of the preceding 10 day volume weighted average in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the ASX Listing Rules but subject to Armour having a right if conversion is requested to repay the funding early.

On 28 October 2015, the amount of the facility was increased from $15 million to $19 million and all other material terms remained the same.

The interest rate on the facility is 22 per cent per annum on an unsecured basis, but in the event the funding becomes secured the rate reduces to 15 per cent per annum. On 18 January 2016, the bridging loan facility offered by DGR Global to Armour Energy was secured under documents executed between the parties. Accordingly, the interest rate was reduced from 22% to 15% per annum.

NOTE 27: OPERATING SEGMENTS SEGMENT INFORMATION

IDENTIFICATION OF REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING FOR PURPOSES OF REPORTING BY OPERATING SEGMENTS

(A) ACCOUNTING POLICIES ADOPTED

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief operating decision maker with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.

(B) INTER-SEGMENT TRANSACTIONS

Corporate charges are allocated to segments based on the segments’ overall proportion of overhead expenditure within the Group. The Board of Directors believes this is representative of likely consumption of head office expenditure that should be used in assessing segment performance and cost recoveries.

Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to be received net of transaction costs. If inter-segment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. This policy represents a departure from that applied to the statutory financial statements.

(C) SEGMENT ASSETS

Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to that segment that receives majority economic value from that asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.

FINANCIAL REPORT (CONT.)

NOTE 27: OPERATING SEGMENTS (CONT.)

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING FOR PURPOSES OF REPORTING BY OPERATING SEGMENTS (CONT.)

(D) UNALLOCATED ITEMS

The following items of revenue, expenses and assets are not allocated to operating segments as they are not

considered part of the core operations of any segment:

  • impairment of assets and other non-recurring items of revenue or expense;

  • income tax expense; and

  • current and deferred tax.

SEGMENT REPORTING

The Group reports information to the Board of Directors along company lines. That is, the financial position of DGR and each of its subsidiary companies is reported discreetly, together with an aggregated Group total. Accordingly, each company within the Group that meets or exceeds the relevant threshold tests is separately disclosed below. The financial information of the subsidiaries that do not exceed the relevant thresholds outlined above, and are therefore not reported separately, is aggregated and disclosed as Others.

All segment asset additions occur in Australia.

(A) GENERAL OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND PROCESSES

In common with all other businesses, the Group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.

There have been no substantive changes in the Group’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note. The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, receivables and payables, and shares in listed corporations.

NOTE 30: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT.)

(A) GENERAL OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND PROCESSES (CONT.)

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group’s risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group’s finance function. The Group’s risk management policies and objectives are designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the results of the Group where such impacts may be material.

The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these matters are set out below:

(B) CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that the other party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge their obligation resulting in the Group incurring a financial loss. This usually occurs when counterparties fail to settle their obligations owing to the Group. The Group’s objective is to minimise the risk of loss from credit risk exposure.

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, in the event other parties fail to discharge their obligations under financial instruments in relation to each class of financial asset at reporting date is the carrying amount in the statement of financial position which, for the relevant assets, is summarised in the table above.

Credit risk is reviewed regularly by the Board and the audit committee. It primarily arises from exposure to receivables as well as through deposits with financial institutions. There is no collateral held as security.

The Group’s material credit risk exposure is to loans with related parties. Other than the loans with related parties, the Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by the Group.

(C) LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties raising funds to meet financial obligations as they fall due. The objective of managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that the Group will always have sufficient liquidity to meets its liabilities when they fall due, under both normal and stressed conditions.

Liquidity risk is reviewed regularly by the Board and the audit committee.

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and liquidity ratios such as working capital. The Group’s working capital, being current assets less current liabilities, has increased from a surplus of $857,809 in 2017 to a surplus of $2,903,390 in 2018.

(D) MARKET RISK

Market risk arises from the use of interest bearing, tradable and foreign currency financial instruments. It is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes interest rates (interest rate risk), foreign exchange rates (currency risk) or other market factors (other price risk). The Group does not have any material exposure to market risk other than interest rate risk and other equity securities price risk.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The objective of interest rate risk management is to manage and control interest rate risk exposures with acceptable parameters while optimising the return. Interest rate risk is managed with a mixture of fixed and floating rate instruments. For further details on interest rate risk refer to the tables below.
