CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Dear Shareholders,
Over the course of the past 12 months, and often as a result of indirect global factors, the international junior mining sector has experienced more than its fair share of headwinds. It is during these times that the quality of a company’s management, projects and / or strategy come under the greatest internal and external pressures. In this regard, I remind shareholders that DGR Global continues to focus on the long game, banking on the continuing fundamental global demands that underpin and fuel the world’s ongoing urban and technological development. The global mega trends of our time point to increasing population and living standards, increasing urbanization and infrastructure requirements, increasing life expectancies and ageing populations, shifting economic power towards Asia, and the ever-increasing demands for energy across the board. All of these trends require the production and consumption of more, not less, resources. The generation of projects in globally demanded resources will therefore remain at the core of DGR Global’s business model.
Touching on some of the major developments within the broader DGR Group over the year, I note the following:
-
In relation to Armour Energy, DGR Global reinvested the majority of its proceeds from the redemption of Armour’s Convertible Notes into Armour’s corporate bond issue. DGR continues to believe in the fundamental supply opportunity for the Australian domestic gas market, and the longer-term outlook for gas as an energy supply source even under published international climate change scenarios.
-
SolGold published its upgraded Mineral Resource Estimate and its Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Alpala Deposit within its flagship Cascabel Copper-Gold Porphyry Project in northern Ecuador. SolGold is now proceeding with work for a further Mineral Resource Estimate and a Pre-Feasibility Study for Alpala, as well as progressing the exploration of its regional package of 72 tenements across Ecuador.
-
In early 2019, IronRidge Resources announced the acquisition of the 400km[2] Zaranou Gold Project, a potential company-making opportunity in Cote d’Ivoire. Work on this project has been prioritized for Q4, 2019 given the opportunity to discover a significant high-grade gold deposit. IronRidge now boasts an impressive inventory of gold and lithium projects across Africa, which it will continue to progress over the next 12 months.
-
DGR Global has continued to progress the Armour Uganda Oil Project, by funding and managing the first-phase exploration program and tenement renewal process. Work is continuing at the time of writing, with results to be announced from the seismic program once available.
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.
Recently, DGR Global’s long-standing General Manager, Greg Runge, retired from his full-time role with the Group. Greg was a DGR Global Group employee for 13 years and over that time handled a number of challenging operational and corporate issues with professionalism. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Greg for his dedication and many years of service, and I am pleased that he has agreed to remain a Director of Auburn Resources for the time being.
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. As always, DGR Global CEO Nick Mather has travelled tirelessly and extensively this year both raising funds and promoting the broader Group in various markets around the world. Nick’s efforts across the broader DGR Group are often under appreciated, and he deserves our sincere thanks.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS, MINERAL RESOURCES, AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Introduction
DGR Global’s 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 new project generation and value creation, 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 the following Figure 1.

Exploration and Development of Unlisted Subsidiaries and Projects
During the year the group was strongly focused on advancing exploration projects within the parent and subsidiary companies. Field reconnaissance programs including mapping, soil, stream and rock sampling and diamond drilling were undertaken.
Significant activities which occurred during the year included:
Auburn Resources Limited (44.98%)
-
Continuation of development and consolidation as a nickel-copper-cobalt, gold and zinc company exploring in QLD and NT, with highly prospective areas in the NT covered by granted MEL applications[43] .
-
Key Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) and lead-zinc targets identified and secured in the Tanumbirini district of the Northern Territory[43] .
-
Potential for world class copper gold discoveries at Mt Abbott, Calgoa and Marodian Projects and large sulphide nickel-cobalt-copper discoveries near Hawkwood[44] .
-
Exploration targets defined for the Ban Ban Zinc Project.

Figure 2: The Tanumbirini Project Area – traversed by the sealed Carpentaria Highway and the gas pipeline to the McArthur River Mine
Tennant Creek and Mt Isa are the preeminent mineral resource hubs for the Northern Territory and Queensland. The region between these two hubs is a vast prospective frontier covered by a thin veneer of sediments.
Geoscience Australia (GA), as part of the Federal Government’s “ Exploring for the Future” program, undertook an extensive soil sampling survey in collaboration with the Northern Territory Geological Survey and the Geological Survey of Queensland. Catchment outlet sediment samples were collected at 776 sites (including duplicates) and analyzed for elemental composition using three different analytical techniques[1] . The black dots in Figure 3 show all the sample points. Subsequently, GA undertook a wide spaced airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey over the entire area to primarily define sulphide mineralization targets.
In mid-2018 GA started the public release of the Northern Australian Geochemical Survey. DGR Global Ltd (DGR) geoscientists started to interrogate the released data sets. DGR focused on the total lead assays rather than other base metals such as copper and nickel as lead is relatively insoluble thus not moving far from its point of origin. Figure 3 shows the result of this data search.
The total lead footprint at Tanumbirini is larger in area than that at Mt Isa to the east, and comparable in magnitude given that Tanumbirini is all under cover and Mt Isa is exposed and has been mined for approximately a century. Lead high values to 46.2 ppm characterize Mt Isa and 34 ppm characterizes the Tanumbirini area.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS, MINERAL RESOURCES, AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS (CONTINUED)
More detailed investigation of the Northern Australia Geochemical Survey (NAGS) data sets further confirmed a large area of base metal anomalism at Tanumbirini. Examining the data sets for lead and copper by Mobile Metal Ion™ (partial leach) (MMI[TM] ) geochemistry indicated an even larger anomalous footprint at Tanumbirini, with a significant indication of copper on the western section of the project area (see Figures 4 and 5). The highest copper in the unpolluted Tanumbirini area is 4310 ppb by MMI™. Excluding polluted exceptions, this compares to the Mt Isa area high of 2970 ppb and 2,000–3,000 ppb in the Mt Oxide Gunpowder copper district.
IOCG Targets
Coincident with DGR’s research, Greatland Gold plc announced its Havieron IOCG discovery at the Paterson Ranges about 40 kms east of Telfer. Greatland had previously announced that anomalous rare earths in soils were an exploration tool for IOCG deposits, so DGR revisited the NAGS data sets to search for rare earths. As shown in Figure 5 (below), rare earths point to a massive IOCG target zone on the western section at Tanumbirini (yet to be supported by gravity and magnetic data).
==> picture [454 x 310] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5: Copper, gold, uranium, rare earths and molybdenum association at Tanumbirini– indicative of large IOCG (Iron Oxide Copper Gold) targets under relatively shallow cover
DGR considers that in the Tanumbirini Project Area, Auburn Resources has secured two new potential mineral fields:
-
A pyritic dolomitic shale sub basin of the broader McArthur Basin prospective for lead zinc deposits at Tanumbirini East; and
-
An iron oxide copper gold target area at Tanumbirini West.
Figure 6 below is a composite diagram incorporating mapped fault structures and EM supported geology on a magnetic image, indicating the interpretation of a fault bounded pyritic dolomitic shale sub basin prospective for lead zinc deposits on the east, and iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) targets on the west. The standout feature through Tanumbirini is an 80 km long magnetic terrane boundary (shaded in purple), and which DGR considers is the source of the copper-gold-uranium-molybdenum-rare earth anomalism. The soil geochemistry and EM data from the Geoscience Australia surveys adds to an already extensive knowledge of surface geology and faults in the area, as well as available detailed magnetic data and a general understanding of the local stratigraphy.

Pinnacle Gold Pty Ltd (94.34%)
Pinnacle Gold holds substantial gold exploration tenements south of Charters Towers, Qld. Most of the area is soil covered, with previous exploration efforts by earlier explorers largely confined to areas of outcrop and focused on mapping and sampling known workings. Only two areas have been drilled.
To date there has been no wide ranging systematic geochemical survey undertaken, yet the area clearly lies on potentially mineralising structures (Charters Towers – Black Jack – Mt Leyshon). Previous explorers appear to have been distracted by small high-grade gold bearing quartz veins with no size potential. Significant stream sediment anomalisms (see Figure 10 below) may not all be due to the proximate small veins.
After further interrogation of historical exploration programs, Pinnacle reconsidered the exploration strategy for this mostly soil covered area. Looking for large targets, Pinnacle has undertaken a field program of low gold detection limit soil lines on a grid pattern with infill gridding of any elevated results. Initial shallow RC drilling on 2 of the EPMs were undertaken in late 2018 with mixed results, warranting further exploration and drilling to better define drill targets.

Hartz Rare Earths Pty Ltd (100%)
Hartz Rare Earths (HRE) have applications for two exploration licenses in the Northern Territory. The project area is located approximately 855km south of Darwin and 420km north-west of Alice Springs.
The target is a uranium copper molybdenum anomalous area highlighted in the recent Geoscience Australia survey. The geology and metal association indicate the potential for roll front uranium deposits within dry stream channels on the margin of the Tanami Desert.
On grant of the exploration licenses, HRE is proposing to investigate this previously large unexplored target specifically for uranium, copper, molybdenum and vanadium using a denser geochemical survey. Initially this will involve further MMI[TM ] and conventional sampling, followed by traverses of shallow drilling.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
Position at 30 June 2019 and Position at the Date of this Report
Financial position
The net assets of the Group have increased by $15,853,524 to $119,248,190 as at 30 June 2019 from $103,394,666 as at 30 June 2018. This increase has largely resulted from:
-
Increase in value of SolGold plc investment accounted for as assets at fair value through other comprehensive income;
-
Increase in exploration and evaluation assets primarily due to the exploration work carried out in Uganda; offset by
-
Increase in other financial liabilities resulting from the draw down of the remaining $2 million under the convertible note funding facility with Tribeca Investment Partners (“Tribeca”).
During the past year the Group has continued investing in its mineral exploration tenements.

At 30 June 2019 the cash balance of the Group was $1,671,891.

OPERATING RESULTS
For the year ended 30 June 2019, the Group loss after income tax was $4,432,875 (2018: $74,792). The loss for the year has been largely driven by:

-
Fair value adjustments on convertible notes; and
-

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. 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 Non-Executive 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 2019 is detailed in this Remuneration Report.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued)
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 2019 there were no discretionary bonuses paid (2018: $nil). 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 2019 is detailed in this Remuneration Report.
Relationship between remuneration and Company performance
The Company and its subsidiaries’ principal activity is the generation of projects, and the provision of services and support provided to sponsored listed companies, within the mineral resources industry and accordingly only generates revenues for services and support provided and historically has generated losses.
The Company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange 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:
| 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Share price at year end | $0.036 | $0.025 | $0.135 | $0.09 | $0.105 |
| Dividend declared | $0.0025 | - | - | - | - |
| Earnings(loss) per share(centsper share) | 1.6 | 0.1 | 0.5 | (0.0) | (0.7) |
During the year ended 30 June 2019 the market price of the Company’s ordinary shares ranged from a low of $0.083 to a high of $0.165.
As the Company is still in the generation of projects and exploration 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounting Policies
(a) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as follows:
The Company has adopted the following new and amended Australian Accounting Standards and AASB Interpretations as of 1 July 2018:
| Reference | Title | Application | Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| date of | date for the | ||
| standard | Group | ||
| AASB 15 | Revenue from Contracts with Customers | 1 January 2018 | 1 July 2018 |

| AASB 2017-1 | Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Transfers of Investment Property. Annual improvements 2014-2016 Cycle and Other Amendments |
1 January 2018 | 1 July 2018 |
| AASB 2017-3 | Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Clarifications to AASB 4 |
1 January 2018 | 1 July 2018 |
The group has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 July 2018 which did not have any impact on the 30 June 2018 comparative results. In the previous years, the group derived its revenue from providing management services to its affiliated entities. Revenue from providing management services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.
The adoption of the other above standards and interpretations did not have any material impact on the current or any prior period and is not likely to materially affect future periods.
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have been recently issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Company for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2019. The Consolidated Entity is yet to evaluate the impact of those standards and interpretations on the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(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 ).
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.
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.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
(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.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounting Policies (continued)
(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.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
-
(i) 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. The business model of these financial assets is to hold to collect contractual cash flows and their contractual cash flows comprise of solely principal and interest. Financial assets at amortised cost include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, corporate bonds issued by Armour Energy Limited, cash on deposit and security bonds.
-
(ii) 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 principal 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.
(iii) 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.
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.
(iii) 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounting Policies (continued)
(g) Financial Instruments (continued)
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 (see 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.
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 or loss.
Impairment of financial assets
An assessment is made at each reporting 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.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounting Policies (continued)
(h) Property, Plant & Equipment (continued)
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.
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.
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.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounting Policies (continued)
(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.
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.
Employee benefits
(i) 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 non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.
(ii) 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.

Accounting Policies (continued)
(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.
(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 ( equity-settled 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
The Goup generates revenue from the provision of management serveces to related entities. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the services is transferred to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entiteled to receive in exchange for those services.
Services
The Group’s performance obligation on management fees charged to related entities are fulfilled over time as the Group provides those management services. Revenues are recognised over time, which are invoiced monthly based on contractual terms.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognized as interest accrues using the effective interest rate method in accordance with AASB 9. 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 reporting 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. The Company 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.

(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.
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 reporting 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 principal 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 Judgments
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.
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 reporting date.
The Directors have assessed that for the exploration and evaluation assets recognised at 30 June 2019, 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 2019 were $9,292,821 (2018: $6,572,307).
Key judgements – 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2019
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounting Policies (continued)
(x) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments (continued)
Key judgements – Convertible note payable
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.
The notes are convertible into ordinary shares of the parent entity, at the option of the holder, or repayable in October 2020. 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. The fair value at each reporting date has been determined using a binomial tree model. The key assumptions used and sensitivity of those assumpions in the binomial tree model has been disclosed in Note 31.
Key judgements – convertible note receivable
The Armour Energy convertible notes in the prior year were measured at fair value through profit or loss for financial reporting purposes. As the Armour Energy convertible notes were not traded in an active market, its fair value was 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 was 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 was reflected on the profit or loss. Management estimates that the market interest rate on similar borrowings without the conversion feature was approximately 22% and 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.
Key judgments – Corporate Bonds
The Armour Energy corporate bonds are debt instruments measured at amortised cost for financial reporting purposes. The Group’s intention is to hold these corporate bonds to collect the contractual cash flows. The characteristics of the contractual cash flows are that of soley the principal and interest. On intial recognition these are carried at fair value and there after they have been carried at amortised cost in accordance with AASB 9.
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.

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.
(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
-
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.

(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, shares in listed corporations, investements in convertible notes and corporate bonds.
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, related party debtors, investments in convertible notes and corporate bonds.

Note 30. Financial Risk Management (continued)
(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 decreased from a surplus of $2,903,390 in 2018 to a surplus of $1,040,732 in 2019.

(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:

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
