DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Remuneration Report (Audited)
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director and other key management personnel.
The Group’s remuneration policy seeks to align director and executive objectives with those of shareholders and business, while at the same time, recognising the early development stage of the Group and the criticality of funds being utilised to achieve development objectives. The board believes the current policy has been appropriate and effective in achieving a balance of these objectives.
The remuneration structure for executives is based on a number of factors, including length of service, particular experience of the individual concerned, and overall performance of the Group.
The Group’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of board members and key executives is set out below.
The executives receive payments provided for under an employment agreement, which may include cash, superannuation, short-term incentives, and equity based performance remuneration.
Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. Individuals may elect to salary sacrifice part of their fees as increased payments towards superannuation. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and is not linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, directors are encouraged to hold equity interests in the Group. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors approved by shareholders is currently $250,000. One-third, by number, of non-executive directors retires by rotation at the Company’s Annual General Meeting. Retiring directors are eligible for reelection by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Company.
The Group’s remuneration policy provides for long-term incentives to be offered through a director and employee share option plan. Options are granted under these plans to align directors’, executives’, employees’ and shareholders’ interests. The Group does not remunerate any key management personnel with securities that are not performance based. No options were granted during the current financial year.
The board of directors is responsible for determining and reviewing the Group’s remuneration policy, remuneration levels and performance of both executive and non-executive directors. Independent external advice will be sought when required. No independent external advice was sought during the current year.
The board is presently reassessing the remuneration policy to ensure it incorporates appropriate elements given the Group’s status and planned activities. Through this review process, the directors aim to provide clearer and more manageable performance criteria for remuneration incentives including the issue of employee and executive options, while also securing greater loyalty from key employees and executives, reducing administration costs and the regulatory burden on the Group.
ELEMENTOS LIMITED ABN 49 138 468 756
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Performance-Based Remuneration
Performance-based remuneration includes both short-term and long-term incentives and is designed to reward key management personnel for reaching or exceeding specific objectives or as recognition for strong individual performance. Short-term incentives are available to eligible staff of the Group and are comprised of cash bonuses, determined on a discretionary basis by the chief executive officer and the board. No short-term incentives were made available during the year.
Long-term incentives are comprised of share options, which are granted from timeto-time to encourage sustained strong performance in the realisation of strategic outcomes and growth in shareholder value.
The exercise price of the options is determined after taking into account the underlying share price performance in the period leading up to the date of grant and if applicable, performance conditions attached to the share options. Subject to specific vesting conditions, each option is convertible into one ordinary share. No options were granted during the current financial year.

Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth, and Director and Executive Remuneration
During the financial year, the Company has generated losses as its principal activity was mineral exploration.
The following table shows the share price of the Company since 2011.
| 30 June 2015 | 30 June 2014 | 30 June 2013 | 30 June 2012 | 30 June 2011 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Share Price atyear end($) | 0.01 | 0.02 | 0.015 | 0.079 | 0.225 |
As the Company is still in the exploration and development stage, the link between remuneration, company performance and shareholder wealth is tenuous. Share prices are subject to the influence of metal prices and market sentiment towards the sector, and as such, increases and decreases might occur independent of executive performance and remuneration.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , Australian Accounting Standards, and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Elementos Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars.
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Elementos Limited and its Controlled Entities. Elementos Limited is a public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical cost modified by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and liabilities. The financial report was authorised for issue on 29 September 2015 by the directors of the Company.
Separate financial statements for Elementos Limited as an individual entity are no longer presented following a change to the Corporations Act 2001. However, financial information required for Elementos Limited as an individual entity is included in Note 25.
Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Group has not generated significant revenues from operations. During the year, the Group has raised $1.54 million from the issue of 128,662,404 shares. The Group’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern assumption will depend upon a number of matters including subsequent successful raising in the future of necessary funding and the successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the Group’s tenements. In the absence of these matters being successful, there exists a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern with the result that the Group may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts different from those stated in the financial statements. No adjustments for such circumstances have been made in the financial statements.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
Acquisition of Rockwell Minerals Ltd and its Controlled Entities
During the previous year, Rockwell Minerals Limited's original shareholders obtained a majority share interest in Elementos Limited after the merger transaction. This transaction did not meet the definition of a business combination in Australian Accounting Standard AASB3 Business Combinations . The transaction has therefore been accounted for in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB2 Share-based Payment and has been accounted for as a continuation of the financial statements of Rockwell Minerals Limited together with a deemed issue of shares, equivalent to the shares held by the former shareholders of Elementos Limited. The deemed issue of shares is, in effect, a share-based payment transaction whereby Rockwell Minerals Limited is deemed to have received the net assets of Elementos Limited, together with the listing status of Elementos Limited. The overall accounting effect is very similar to that of a reverse acquisition in AASB3.
Since the consolidated financial statements represent a continuation of the financial statements of Rockwell Minerals Limited, the principles and guidance on the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements in a reverse acquisition set out in AASB 3 have been applied:
-
fair value adjustments arising at acquisition were made to Elementos Limited assets and liabilities, not those of Rockwell Minerals Limited;
-
the cost of the acquisition and the amount recognised as issued capital to affect the transaction is based on the notional amount of shares that Rockwell Minerals Limited would have needed to issue Elementos Limited shareholders, for them to hold the same shareholding percentage in Rockwell Minerals Limited as they have in the Group post the actual transaction;
-
accumulated losses and other equity balances in the consolidated financial statements at acquisition date are those of Rockwell Minerals Limited;
-
a share-based payment transaction arises whereby Rockwell Minerals Limited is deemed to have issued shares in exchange for the net assets of Elementos Limited (together with the listing status of Elementos Limited). The listing status does not qualify for recognition as an intangible asset and has therefore been expensed in profit or loss as a listing expense;
-
the equity structure in the consolidated financial statements (the number and type of equity instruments issued) at the date of the acquisition reflects the equity structure of Elementos Limited, including the equity instruments issued to effect the acquisition; and
-
the results for the year ended 30 June 2014 comprise the consolidated results for the year of Rockwell Minerals Limited together with the results of Elementos Limited from the acquisition date, being 14 October 2013.

Principles of Consolidation
Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Elementos Limited ("Company" or "parent entity") as at 30 June 2015, and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Elementos Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the Group or the economic entity.
The names of the subsidiaries are contained in Note 23. All subsidiaries have a 30 June financial year end and are accounted for by the parent entity at cost. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group has control over an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has a right to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and has the ability to use its power to affect those returns.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of controlled entities have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Changes in ownership interests
When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in the carrying amount recognised in the profit or loss.
The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture 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 the profit or loss.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
Income Tax
The income tax expense/(income) for the year comprises current income tax expense/(income) and deferred tax expense/(income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at 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 period 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 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.
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 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.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
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.
Restoration Costs
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility 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 structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the exploration and 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 for 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 the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.
The economic entity currently has no obligation for any restoration costs in relation to discontinued operations, nor is it currently liable for any future restoration costs in relation to current areas of interest. Consequently, no provision for restoration has been deemed necessary.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the economic entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible 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.
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.
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.
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 derecognised 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.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a Amortised cost is calculated as:
(a) the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition;
(b) less principal repayments;
(c) plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and
(d) less any reduction for impairment.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
Financial Instruments (cont)
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss.
The economic entity 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.
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.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that are not classified in any of the other categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.
Financial Liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Impairment
At each reporting date, the economic entity assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of availablefor-sale financial instruments, a significant or 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than 3 months.
Issued Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs (net of tax where the deduction can be utilised) arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
Share Based Payments
The economic entity makes equity-settled share based payments to directors, employees and other parties for services provided or the acquisition of exploration assets. Where applicable, the fair value of the equity is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using a binomial lattice pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. Where applicable, the number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
Where the fair value of services rendered by other parties can be reliably determined, this is used to measure the equity-settled payment.
Revenue
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the reporting period are recognised in liabilities in respect of employees' services rendered up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST (or overseas VAT), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable. In these circumstances the GST (or overseas VAT) is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis except for the GST component of investing and financing activities which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Functional and presentation currency:
The functional and presentation currency of Elementos Ltd and its Australian subsidiaries is Australian dollars ($A).

Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances (cont)
Transactions and balances:
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were measured.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the profit or loss, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Group Companies:
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the economic entity’s presentation currency are translated as follows:
-
assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
-
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; - retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period adjusted for any bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the period.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the economic entity.

Key Judgements
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
The economic entity 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.
Exploration and evaluation assets at 30 June 2015 were $4,859,170 (2014: $6,456,348).
Acquisition of Elementos Ltd
During the previous year, Rockwell Minerals Ltd's original shareholders acquired a majority share interest in Elementos Ltd as part of the merger transaction. For the purpose of accounting for this transaction, Elementos Ltd was considered a business as defined in AASB3 Business Combinations. Contributing to this judgement is the fact that at the date of the merger, proven and probable reserves had not yet been established for the Elementos tenements, and significant additional expenditure was required to establish the viability of these tenements.
New and Amended Standards and Interpretations
None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2014 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any period prior and are not likely to affect future periods.
A number of new standards and amendments to the standards are effective for financial reporting periods beginning and after 1 July 2015 and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements when they are first applied.

Fair Values
Fair values may be used for financial asset and liability measurement as well as for sundry disclosures.
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. It is based on the presumption that the transaction takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. The principal or most advantageous market must be accessible to, or by, the Group.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability assuming that market participants act in their best economic interest.
The fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account the market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset at its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset at its highest and best use.
In measuring fair value, the Group uses valuation techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the members of Elementos Limited
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Elementos Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
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. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Elementos Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

Opinion
In our opinion:
-
(a) the financial report of Elementos Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2015 and of its 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 Note 1.
Emphasis of matter
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the future successful raising of necessary funding through equity, successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the consolidated entity’s tenements, and/or sale of non-core assets. These conditions, along with other matters as set out in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that 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.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2015. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Elementos Limited for the year ended 30 June 2015 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
