Financial position
The net assets of the Group at 30 June 2015 were $2,127,144 (2014: $2,549,519).
Review of operations
During the 2014/2015 financial year the Company continued its strategic review of existing operations. In addition to this, and as previously announced, the company is assessing a number of other opportunities outside the resources sector that have the potential to add significant value to the company. Negotiations with respect to a number of new opportunities are currently underway. Further information on the progress or outcome of these negotiations will be given to the market once it is appropriate to do so.
Exploration
Jaurdi Hills Project

These include possible, joint ventures, earn in deals or sale of historic gold bearing surface stockpiles and/or the in-situ gold resource at Panther as well as the adjoining extensive and promising exploration tenement portfolio.
Spa Go West Project– Nickel-Sulphide Exploration
On 17 June 2014, PML announced it had secured the exclusive right to farm into and earn an 80% interest in the Spa Go West Project comprising Exploration License Application E15/1410 located in the highly prospective Kambalda/ Widgiemooltha nickel province of Western Australia.

Review of operations (Continued)
Corporate Activities
Commercial Negotiations On Jaurdi Hills Gold Project
The company continues to evaluate potential commercial opportunities on its gold assets at the Jaurdi Hills Project. These include possible, joint ventures, earn in deals or sale of historic gold bearing surface stockpiles and/or the in-situ gold resource at Panther as well as the adjoining extensive and promising exploration tenement portfolio.
New Opportunities
In response to difficult market conditions for small cap mineral resource companies PML continued its strategic review of its operations and as previously announced includes the assessment of a number of non-resource related opportunities. Negotiations with respect to these new opportunities are currently underway. Further information on the progress or outcome of these negotiations will be given to the market once it is appropriate to do so.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
Between 19 of December 2014 and 7 January 2015, Parmelia drill tested the Southern High Priority nickel-sulphide exploration target at the Dunnsvilled Nickel Prospect. The results were disappointing and no visual nickel-sulphide was identified. Further nickel-sulphide testing was not recommended. This does not change the potential of the highly prospective gold assets that have been identified at Jaurdi Hills.
Dividends paid or recommended
No dividends were declared or paid during the year and the Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend.
Significant events after the reporting date
There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any other item, transaction, or event of a material and unusual nature not otherwise dealt with in the financial statements, likely in the opinion of the Directors of the Group, to affect significantly the operations of the Group, the results of the operations or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.
Likely development
As announced to the market on 27 August 2014 Parmelia Resources Limited will broaden its current focus from nickel to include other base metal commodities which are expected to have positive future supply demand fundamentals.
Environmental regulations
The mining leases granted to the Company pursuant to Mining Acts are granted subject to various conditions, which include standard environmental requirements. The Company adheres to these conditions and the Directors are not aware of any contraventions of these requirements.
The Directors have considered compliance with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 which requires entities to report annual greenhouse gas emissions and energy use. For the first measurement period the directors have assessed that there are no current reporting requirements, but may be required to do so in the future.

ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2015
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
The Directors are pleased to present the remuneration report which sets out the remuneration information for Parmelia Resources Limited’s non-executive Directors, executive Directors and other Key Management Personnel.
A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
Key Management Personnel (KMP) have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group. Key Management Personnel comprise the Directors of the Company.
Remuneration levels for Key Management Personnel are competitively set to attract and retain appropriately qualified and experienced Directors and executives. The Board may seek independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages, given trends in comparative companies both locally and internationally and the objectives of the Group’s remuneration strategy.
The remuneration structures are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the achievement of strategic objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of creation of value for shareholders. Remuneration packages include a mix of fixed compensation, equity-based compensation, as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds.
Options may only be issued to Directors subject to approval by shareholders in a general meeting.
The Board has no established retirement or redundancy schemes.
The remuneration structure that has been adopted by the Group consists of the following components:
-
Fixed remuneration being base fees as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds; and
-
Short term incentives, being employee share schemes and bonuses.
Compensation levels are reviewed annually by the Board through a process that considers individual and overall performance of the Group. In addition, external consultants provide analysis and advice to ensure the Directors’ and senior executives’ compensation is competitive in the market place. During the period no such remuneration consultant was used and no senior executives other than Directors were employed.
Results of the 2014 remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting
A total of 80.6% of the proxies received for the Annual General Meeting voted yes on the 2014 remuneration report.
Performance Based Remuneration
Short-term and long-term incentive structure
Given the current size, nature and opportunities of the Group, the Board has given more significance to service criteria instead of market related criteria in setting the Group’s incentive schemes. Accordingly, at this stage the Board does not consider the Group’s earnings or earnings related measures to be an appropriate Key Performance Indicator (KPI). In considering the relationship between the Group’s remuneration policy and the consequences for the Company’s shareholder wealth, changes in share price are analysed as well as measures such as successful completion of exploration activities (e.g. completion of exploration programs within budgeted timeframes and costs), development activities (e.g. completion of scoping and/or feasibilities studies), corporate activities (e.g. recruitment of key personnel/contractors) and business development activities (e.g. project acquisitions and capital raisings).
Short-term incentives
No short-term incentives in the form of cash bonuses were granted during the year.
Long-term incentives
The Board has a policy of granting incentive options to executives with exercise prices above market share price. As such, incentive options granted to executives will generally only be of benefit if the executives perform to the level whereby the value of the Group increases sufficiently to warrant exercising the incentive options granted.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
NOTE 1: REPORTING ENTITY
These consolidated financial statements and notes of Parmelia Resources Limited (‘the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Consolidated Group” or ‘the Group”). Parmelia Resources Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office is Suite 12, Level 1/ 11 Ventnor Avenue, West Perth, Western Australia 6005.
NOTE 2: BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of compliance
The consolidated general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (“AASBs”) (including Australian interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standard Board (“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001. Parmelia Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purposes of preparing the financial report. The consolidated financial statements of the Group also complies with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 29 September 2015.
Basis of measurement
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Going concern
The consolidated group has incurred a net loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2015 of $1,694,143 (2014: $533,403 loss) and incurred net cash outflows from operations of $498,955 (2014: $375,403 net cash outflow). As at 30 June 2015, the consolidated group had cash and cash equivalents of $237,090 (30 June 2014: $157,343) and net assets of $2,127,144 (30 June 2014: $2,549,519).
In the forthcoming 12 months from the date of these financial statements, the Company and the consolidated group will be required to meet various commitments, which require funds that are above and beyond the working capital of the consolidated group at 30 June 2015. These commitments include evaluating a number of properties both existing properties and new proposals.
The financial report has been prepared on the basis that the Company and consolidated group will continue to meet their commitments and can therefore continue normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. In arriving at this position, the Directors are reviewing various funding alternatives to meet these commitments. These funding alternatives include future raising through various equity issues, sale of assets and scaling back of corporate costs if required.
The Directors have concluded that the combination of these circumstances represent a material uncertainty that casts doubt upon the Company’s and consolidated group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Nevertheless after making enquiries, and considering the uncertainties described above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and consolidated group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For these reasons, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the yearly report and accounts.
Should the Company and consolidated group not achieve the matters set out above, there is significant uncertainty whether the Company and consolidated group will continue as a going concern and therefore whether they will realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
The financial report does not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts nor the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company and consolidated group not be able to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2: BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONTINUED)
(b) Functional and presentation currency
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional currency.
(c) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Share-based payment transactions:
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a Black and Scholes model.
Impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure:
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.
Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.
To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.
Refer to Note 12, for details of Impairments against capitalised exploration.
NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in this financial report.
(a) Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2015. The Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June 2015.
All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.
Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests.
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 23 to the financial statements.

NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Business combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses and results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities.
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The acquisition method requires that for each business combination one of the combining entities must be identified as the acquirer (ie parent entity). The business combination will be accounted for as at the acquisition date, which is the date that control over the acquiree is obtained by the parent entity. At this date, the parent shall recognise, in the consolidated accounts, and subject to certain limited exceptions, the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In addition, contingent liabilities of the acquiree will be recognised where a present obligation has been incurred and its fair value can be reliably measured.
The acquisition may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The method adopted for the measurement of goodwill will impact on the measurement of any non-controlling interest to be recognised in the acquiree where less than 100% ownership interest is held in the acquiree.
The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements. Consideration may comprise the sum of the assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer.
Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the Other Comprehensive Income. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.
Included in the measurement of consideration transferred is any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Any obligation incurred relating to contingent consideration is classified as either a financial liability or equity instrument, depending upon the nature of the arrangement. Rights to refunds of consideration previously paid are recognised as a receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value through the profit or loss unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.
All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the profit or loss.
(b) Income tax
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(b) Income tax (continued)
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
(c) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs, including costs of acquiring licenses, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs of acquiring licences which are pending the approval of the Department of Mines and Petroleum, as at the date of reporting are capitalised as exploration and evaluation cost if in the opinion of the Directors it is virtually certain the Company will be granted the licences.
Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of tenure to the area of interest are current and either:
-
i) The expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or
-
ii) Activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when:
-
i) Sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and
-
ii) Facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount (see impairment accounting policy in Note 3(e). For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from intangible assets to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment.
(d) Financial instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.
The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.

NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(d) Financial instruments (Continued)
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other loans and receivables are classified as non-current assets).
Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Fair value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
Impairment
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for sale financial instruments, a significant and prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to cash flow 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 derecognised where the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
(e) Impairment
Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit” or “CGU”).
Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment is tested reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The Company’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows. If there is an indication that a corporate asset may be impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the corporate asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(e) Impairment (Continued)
Non-financial assets
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
Financial assets (including receivables)
A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets (including equity securities) are impaired can include default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is objective evidence of impairment.
The Company considers evidence of impairment for receivables at a specific asset level. All receivables are individually assessed for specific impairment.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised through the unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
(f) Employee benefits
Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.
Equity-settled compensation
The Group operates an Incentive Option Scheme share-based compensation plan. The bonus element over the exercise price of the employee services rendered in exchange for the grant of shares and options is recognised as an expense in the profit or loss. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares of the options granted.
(g) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will results and that outflow can be reliably measured.
(h) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(i) Revenue and other income
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(j) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Group during the reporting period which remains unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amount being normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
(k) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
(l) Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of financing and investing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flow.
(m) Earnings per share
i. Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of service equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
ii. Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figure used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financial costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(n) Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Company 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 Company’s other components. All operating segments’ results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s Directors to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
(o) Government grants
An unconditional government grant is recognised in profit or loss as other income when the grant becomes receivable. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss as other income on a systematic basis in the same period in which the expenses are recognised.

Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument. c) Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases. Financial liabilities Changes introduced by AASB 9 in respect of financial liabilities are limited to the measurement of liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) using the fair value option. Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities, the change in fair value is to be accounted for as follows: � The change attributable to changes in credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income (OCI) � The remaining change ispresentedinprofitor loss AASB 9 also removes the volatility in profit or loss that was caused by changes in the credit risk of liabilities elected to be measured at fair value. This change in accounting means that gains or losses attributable to changes in the entity’s own credit risk would be recognised in OCI. These amounts recognised in OCI are not recycled to profit or loss if the liability is ever repurchased at a discount. |

NOTE 4: DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.
Trade and other receivables
The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. This fair value is determined for disclosure purposes.
Share-based payment transactions
Share-based payment arrangements in which the Group receives goods or services as consideration for its own equity instruments are accounted for as equity-settled share-based payment transactions, regardless of how the equity instruments are obtained by the Group, based on the value of goods and services provided, unless the value of the goods and services cannot be determined an options price model is used to determine value.

Tax Consolidation
Parmelia Resources Limited and its wholly owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the Tax Consolidation Regime. Each entity in the group recognises its own current and deferred tax liabilities, except for any deferred tax liabilities resulting from unused tax losses and tax credits, which are immediately assumed by the parent entity. The current tax liability of each group entity is then subsequently assumed by the parent entity. The Group nominated to become consolidated for taxation purposes on 28 October 2010.

NOTE 6: INCOME TAX (CONTINUED)
All unused tax losses were incurred in Australia.
Potential deferred tax assets net of deferred tax liabilities attributable to tax losses have not been brought to account because the Directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the future income tax benefits as probable as at the date of this report.
The benefits of these tax losses will only be obtained if:
-
(i) Future assessable income is derived of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised;
-
(ii) The conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation continue to be complied with; and
-
(iii) No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit.

The Directors’ assessment of the carrying amount for the Group’s exploration properties was after consideration of prevailing market conditions; previous expenditure for exploration work carried out on the tenements; and the potential for mineralisation based on the Group’s independent geological reports.
The ultimate value of these assets is dependent upon recoupment by commercial development or the sale of the whole or part of the Group’s interests in these exploration properties for an amount at least equal to the carrying value. There may exist on the Group’s exploration properties, areas subject to claim under Native Title or containing sacred sites or sites of significance to Aboriginal people.
As a result, the Group’s exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration and mining restrictions. Items written off during the period are in accordance with the Groups accounting policy 3(c).

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risk the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk consisting of interest rate, foreign currency risk and equity price risk.
a) Credit risk
Credit risk exposures
Credit exposure represents the extent of credit related losses that the Group may be subject to on amounts to be received from financial assets. Credit risk arises principally from trade and other receivables including related party loans. The objective of the Group is to minimise the risk of loss from credit risk. Although revenue from operations is minimal, the Group trades only with creditworthy third parties. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is insignificant. The Company’s maximum credit risk exposure is limited to the carrying value of its financial assets as indicated on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Trade and other receivables are expected to be settled within 30 days.
Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the Group in accordance with approved Board policy. Such policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with counterparties with a Standard and Poor’s rating of at least AA-. The following table provides information regarding the credit risk relating to cash and money market securities based on Standard and Poor’s counterparty credit ratings.

|---|---|---|---|
| Note | $ | $ | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | |||
| - AA Rated | 10 | 237,090 | 157,343 |
b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities.
The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Group. Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings.

with the Group’s current and future funding requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. Any surplus funds are invested with major financial institutions.
The financial liabilities of the Group are confined to trade and other payables as disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. All trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 12 months of the reporting date.
c) Market risk
The Board meets on a regular basis to analyse currency and interest rate exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts.
Interest rate risk
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. The Group is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments.
Interest rate risk is managed by closely monitoring the interest rates at various financial institutions. The Company has no debt and as such the interest rate risk is limited to the Company’s investments in term deposits and other interest bearing investments.
Sensitivity Analysis
The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group’s exposures to changes in interest rates. The table indicates the impact on how profit and equity values reported at reporting date would have been affected by changes in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible. These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables.
| Profit | Equity | |
|---|---|---|
| Year ended 30 June 2015 | $ | $ |
| +/-1% in interest rates | +/- 4,060 | +/- 4,060 |
| Period ended 30 June 2014 | ||
| +/-1% in interest rates | +/- 3,974 | +/- 3,974 |
Fair Values
Fair value estimation
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the following table and can be compared to their carrying values as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Fair value is 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.
Other assets and other liabilities approximate their carrying value.

Acquisition of St Nicholas Pty Ltd
On 19 March 2014, the Company acquired St Nicholas Mines Pty Ltd (“St Nicholas”). St Nicholas holds equity in Mongolian incorporated entity Niquaero LLC. Niquaero LLC holds various granted mining tenements located in Mongolia. The consideration consisted of 5,500,000 ordinary shares at $0.029 per share. This acquisition has not been accounted for as a business combination under AASB 3: “Business Combinations” as the assets of St Nicholas were considered not to constitute a business. Accordingly, the St Nicholas acquisition has been accounted for as an acquisition of assets, at cost based on the fair value of shares issued on the transaction date.
The purchase price has been allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities of St Nicholas as of the date of acquisition as follows:

NOTE 25: 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. The information presented in the financial report is the same information that is reviewed by the Directors. The Group impaired all exploration and evaluation expenditure capitalised within its Mongolian Exploration segment after relinquishing all rights to tenement licenses.
The Group is currently operative in Australia (predominately corporate and Exploration Related) (2014: Australia and Mongolia).
Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments
Accounting policies adopted
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief 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 .
Inter-segment transactions
Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received or 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.
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.
Segment liabilities
Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables.
Unallocated items
The following items of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment:
-
Income tax expense
-
Deferred tax assets and liabilities
-
Depreciation expense

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Auditor’s opinion
In our opinion:
-
a the financial report of Parmelia Resources Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-
i giving a true and fair view of the Company’s and consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2015 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
ii complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and
-
b the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Emphasis of matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1(a) in the financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $1,694,143 during the year ended 30 June 2015 and cash outflows of $498,955 from operating activities. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(a), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
