Deed of Company arrangement Execution

At the meeting of creditors held on 20 March 2015 pursuant to Section 439A of the Corporations Act 2001, creditors resolved for the Company to execute a Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA). The DOCA was executed on 16 April 2015 and accordingly Messers Richard Albarran, David Ingram and Cameron Shaw of Hallchadwick were appointed as the Deed Administrators.

The terms of the DOCA were:

  1. Richard Albarran, David Ingram and Cameron Shaw to administer the DOCA/Creditors’ Trust.

  2. A DOCA/Creditors’ Trust fund of $600,000 will be made available to all creditors of the Company. Olivest Pty Ltd (“Olivest") shall make the following payments to the DOCA/Creditors Trust Fund:

  3. (a) One (1) upfront payment of $250,000 upon execution of the DOCA; and

  4. (b) $350,000 to be paid no later than twelve (12) months after the execution of the DOCA; and

  5. The agreement of the holders of all excluded creditors to convert their debt into shares into the Company at the price of five (5) cents per share with the total number of shares being issued 149,740,902. This conversion price is conditional on Olivest being satisfied that it can obtain title to the Moly project. In the event that this cannot be obtained prior to the shareholders meeting to approve this then the conversion price will revert to thirty (30) cents per share; and

  6. 50% of the proceeds of the collection of outstanding amount from the Alluvia Mining loan.

  7. The establishment of a Creditors’ Trust as part of the recapitalisation process.

  8. Olivest to undertake a capital raising of $2,000,000 at a maximum price of $0.005 per share (“Public Raising").

  9. Olivest to convert $600,000 to equity via a share placement at a minimum $0.001 per share.

  10. A meeting of the Company’s shareholders, the Company’s Convertible Note, Bond and Loan holders may vote to accept their claims are converted into shares of the Company.

  11. Interest will be charged on any overdue amounts at the rate of 12% pa.

  12. Control and management of the Company will revert to the Directors of the Company upon effectuation of the DOCA/commencement of the Creditors’ Trust.

  13. The related creditors including the Directors of the Company and any entity associated with the Directors or their relatives (including in-laws) will subrogate their claims against the Company in their entirety, and will not participate in any distribution under the DOCA subject to shareholder

South East Asia Resources Limited – Annual Report 2016

Review of Operations

approval to convert their debts into equity on the same terms and conditions as the excluded creditors.

  1. The Company’s own subsidiaries will retain all assets as agreed in the DOCA, specifically:

  2. (a) Any rights to the Moly Project will be retained by the Company as an asset, with the title to this asset still subject to legal confirmations; and

  3. (b) Any right to the loan to Alluvia Mining loan on the basis that the Company will continue to try and collect this debt and in the event that any collection is made then 50% of that amount will be paid to the Administration under the DOCA.

  4. Subject to point 11, all claims against the Company arising prior to the appointment of the Administrators will be admissible under the DOCA.

  5. There shall be a moratorium on enforcement of pre-Administration creditor claims under the DOCA.

  6. Any distribution paid to creditors/beneficiaries is to be in full and final satisfaction of their claims against the Company.

  7. Upon wholly effectuation of the DOCA, the Company shall be release from all pre-Administration debts owed to creditors participating in the DOCA.

  8. Pursuant to the Act, a Deed Administrator generally has the powers under the prescribed provisions provided under Schedule 8A of the Corporations Regulations, save for 3(c), 10 and 11.

Pursuant to the proposed Creditors’ Trust, the Trustees’ powers would be the powers and rights of a duly appointed Trustee under statute and law. In addition to those powers, the Trustee would have additional powers to enable the proper administration of the trust fund for the purpose of distributing the funds to creditors/beneficiaries. The important powers will be those related to the distribution of the funds, which will be included in the Creditors’ Trust Deed.

  1. The DOCA will commence upon its execution by Olivest and the Deed Administrators.

  2. If Olivest or the Company are unable to comply with any fundamental provisions of the DOCA including payment of monies due pursuant to the DOCA, and/or the Administrators form the view that the Company is unlikely to be able to comply with the terms of the DOCA, then the Administrators are entitled to convene a meeting of the Company’s creditors at which creditors may resolve to:

  3. (a) Vary the DOCA; or

  4. (b) Terminate the DOCA; or

  5. (c) Enforce the terms of the DOCA.

  6. The DOCA/Creditors’ Trust Fund will be distributed as follows;

  7. (a) Administrators fees, expenses and trading liabilities;

  8. (b) Deed Administrators fees and expenses;

  9. (c) Creditors’ Trustee fees and expenses;

  10. d) Priority creditors/beneficiaries;

  11. e) Unsecured creditors/beneficiaries.

Corporate Governance Statement

Corporate Governance Statement

In recognising the need for the highest standards of corporate behaviour and accountability, the Directors of South East Asia Resources Limited (“SXI” or “the Company”) support the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (“Principles and Recommendations”) as issued by the Australian Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Council (CGC).

The Board of Directors of SXI is responsible for the corporate governance of the entity and endorses the need for high standards of corporate governance. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of SXI on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.

The Board has formalised its corporate governance framework which it considers suitable given the size, history and strategy of the Company. The Board will keep its corporate governance practices under review and will ensure that the necessary policies are adopted as required by the Company.

Commensurate with the spirit of the ASX Corporate Governance Recommendations, the Company has followed each ASX Corporate Governance Recommendation where the Board has considered it to be an appropriate benchmark for corporate governance practices, taking into account factors such as the size of the Company and the Board, the resources available and the activities of the Company. Corporate governance policies and practice of the Company are reflective of the Company's current position. As the Company's activities develop in size, nature and scope, the Board will reconsider and review the Company's corporate governance structures.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 4.10.3, SXI is required to disclose the extent to which it has followed the Principles of Best Practice Recommendations during the financial year. Where, after due consideration, SXI’s corporate governance practices depart from a recommendation, this has been identified and an explanation for the departure has been given in compliance with the “if not, why not” regime.

Structure & Role of the Board

The Board operates pursuant to a formal Board charter, which sets out the functions and responsibilities of the Board and management of the Company.

The Board of the Company is responsible for:

  • (a) the overall operation and stewardship of the Company and its subsidiary;

  • (b) charting the direction, strategies and financial objectives for the Company; and

  • (c) monitoring the implementation of those policies, strategies and financial objectives,

They are also committed to protecting and enhancing shareholder values and conducting the Company's business ethically and in accordance with the highest standards of corporate governance.

Each of the Directors, when representing the Company, must act in the best interest of the shareholders of the Company and in the best interests of the Company as a whole.

The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of each Director who is in office at the date of the annual report, including their term of office, are detailed in the Directors' Report.

A Director is considered to be independent where they are a non-executive Director, are not a member of management and are free of any relationship that could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the independent exercise of their judgment. Directors are expected to bring independent views and judgement to the Board's deliberations. The Board Charter recommends that at least the majority of the Directors of SXI will be non-executive (preferably independent) Directors and that the Chair will be a nonexecutive Director. The existence of the following relationships may affect independent status if the Director:

South East Asia Resources Limited – Annual Report 2016

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

  • is a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with a substantial shareholder of SXI;

  • is employed, or has previously been employed in an executive capacity by the Company, and there has not been a period of at least three years between ceasing such employment and serving on the Board;

  • has within the last three years been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the Company, or an employee materially associated with the services provided;

  • is a material supplier or customer of the Company, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer;

  • has a material contractual relationship with the Company other than as a Director.

In the context of Director independence; "materiality" is considered from both the Company and individual Director perspective. The determination of materiality requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements.

In accordance with the definition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds set, the Board reviewed the positions and associations of each of the three Directors in office at the date of this statement and considers that one of the Directors is independent as follows:

Name Position
Gary Williams Executive Director
Wayne Knight Non-Executive Director
Jackob Tsaban Executive Director

The Board will assess the independence of new Directors upon appointment, and the independence of other Directors, as appropriate. To facilitate independent judgment in decision-making, each Director has the right to seek independent professional advice at the expense of the Company, subject to the prior approval from the Chairman, which may not be unreasonably withheld.

The term in office held by each Director in office at the date of this statement is set out in the Directors’ Report.

Dealing in Securities Policy

The Board has an established Dealing in Securities Policy. The policy sets out the rules and regulations that apply to the Directors, Key Management Personnel, their associates and employees of the Company in regards to trading in the securities of the Company. The policy aims to develop a culture of awareness of individual responsibilities in regards to trading in the Company’s securities and having regard to the insider trading provisions.

Code of Conduct

The Company has established a code of conduct. The Code of Conduct applies to all employees, Directors and officers, each of whom must discharge their duties with honesty and integrity, in the best interests of the Company and having regard to the position and the goals and objectives of the Company.

Shareholder Communication Policy

The Board aims to ensure that shareholders are informed of all major developments affecting the Company’s state of affairs. In particular, the Board believes that communicating with shareholders by electronic means, particularly through its website and ASX platform, is an efficient way of distributing information in a timely and convenient manner.

The Company’s website includes a reports section containing copies of annual, half yearly and quarterly reports and reports from stockbroking firms, a news section, containing copies of ASX announcements made

South East Asia Resources Limited – Annual Report 2016

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

by the Company, and details of the Company's projects and activities including presentation material provided to investors or stockbroking analysts, briefing material from any Company site visits and the Company profile and contact details. Copies of the Company’s Corporate Governance Policies are currently not available on the Company’s website. The Company aims to have all its Corporate Governance Policies available on its website shortly.

Diversity

Whilst SXI has not yet formally adopted a Diversity Policy, the Company recognises that a talented and diverse workforce is a key competitive advantage and that success is a reflection of the quality and skills of its people. Diversity assists the business in achieving its objectives and delivering for its stakeholders by enabling it to attract and retain the most qualified and experienced individuals to the workforce.

The Company’s general policy when choosing employees is to recruit and manage on the basis of competence and performance regardless of age, nationality, race, gender, religious beliefs, sexuality, physical ability or cultural background. The Company currently does not have any female board or senior executive members.

Risk Management Policy

The Company is focused on ensuring that there are adequate structures and procedures in place to identify, assess, monitor and manage risk and is taking steps to address the practical implementation of risk management policies.

In accordance with the Company's Risk Management Policy, the Board oversees the establishment, implementation and regular review of the Company's risk management policies. To assist the Board to conduct the regular review, management and key executives are required to report to the Board on any material risks identified, how those risks are being managed, the implementation of any risk management or internal control system, and whether any breaches of the risk management policies have occurred during the preceding period.

PRINCIPLE 1: LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT

Recommendation 1.1: Companies should establish the functions reserved to the board and those delegated to senior executives and disclose those functions.

This recommendation is satisfied.

The Company's Board Charter together with updated financial statements will be given to any new Director, all of which will set out details in respect of:

  • The Company's financial, strategic and operational position;

  • Each Director's rights, duties and responsibilities;

  • The role of the Board and Management.

Recommendation 1.2: Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of senior executives.

This recommendation is satisfied.

Given the size of the Company, there are no executives employed by the Company at this time. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer are contracted by the Company.

The performance target for each executive should be aligned to the business targets of the Company in accordance with the position of the relevant executive.

The Board recognizes the importance of ensuring that the performance of the Board is reviewed regularly against appropriate measures. The Board has previously established an informal procedure for review of the

South East Asia Resources Limited – Annual Report 2016

10

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

Board and individual directors. A performance evaluation of the Board, individual directors and senior executives did not take place during the year.

The Board seeks to identify the expectations of the shareholders, as well as other regulatory and ethical expectations and obligations. In addition, the Board is responsible for identifying areas of significant business risk and ensuring arrangements are in place to adequately manage those risks.

To ensure that the Board is well equipped to discharge its responsibilities it has established guidelines for the nomination and selection of directors and for the operation of the Board. Upon management appointment, the responsibility for the operation and administration of the Company is delegated, by the Board, to the executive management team. The Board ensures that this team is appropriately qualified and experienced to discharge their responsibilities and has in place procedures to assess the performance of the executive management team.

PRINCIPLE 2: STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE

Recommendation 2.1: A majority of the board should be independent directors.

This recommendation is not satisfied. Only 1 of the 3 directors is considered independent.

Recommendation 2.2: The chair should be an independent director.

This recommendation is not satisfied. Gary Williams is not independent.

Recommendation 2.3: The roles of chair and chief executive officer (CEO) should not be exercised by the same individual.

This recommendation is not satisfied. Gary Williams is both Chairman and CEO.

Recommendation 2.4: The board should establish a nomination committee.

This recommendation is not satisfied.

Given the size of the Company and its Board, the Directors consider that any efficiency achieved by the establishment of a nomination committee would be minimal, thereby not making establishment cost effective. For this reason the Board performs the role of the nomination committee.

Recommendation 2.5: Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors.

This recommendation is not satisfied.

The Directors of the Company otherwise consider that due to the size of the Company and its Board a formal review procedure is not appropriate at this point in time and has instead adopted a self-evaluation process to measure its own performance. A system to fairly review and actively encourage enhanced Board and management effectiveness is being considered.

The need for access to supporting equity and skills as required, and a flexible cost structure are greater imperatives for the Company as an exploration company, than the largely mutually exclusive concept of independence, which is much more relevant to larger corporations with substantial workforces.

However, as the Company moves to become a resources producer the concept of independence will become more relevant. Whilst the Company will progressively increase the independence of its Directors over time, compliance with the best practice in this area is not considered a current imperative, due to the additional direct cost of employing such Directors, the view that there would not be an increase in Board skills (only independence), and the risk that inefficiency will occur in the Board decision making process whilst the independent Directors become familiar with the Company’s business.

South East Asia Resources Limited – Annual Report 2016

11

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

All assessments as to whether a Director is independent are to be made by the Board.

The Chairman of the Board is responsible for the leadership of the Board, ensuring that Board activities are organised and efficiently conducted and for setting the agenda for Board meetings. Under the Company’s constitution, the maximum term for a director before they must be re-elected by the members is three years.

The Board has not established separate committees for Audit and Risk Management, Remuneration and Nomination. The Company is not of a sufficient size, nor is the affairs of a complexity sufficient to warrant the existence of separate committees. All matters which could be delegated to such committees are dealt with by the full Board.

PRINCIPLE 3: PROMOTE ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE DECISION-MAKING

Recommendation 3.1: Companies should establish a code of conduct and disclose the code or a summary of the code as to:

  • the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the company’s integrity

  • the practices necessary to take into account their legal obligations and the reasonable expectations of their stakeholders and;

  • the responsibility and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices.

This recommendation is satisfied.

Recommendation 3.2: Companies should establish a policy concerning diversity and disclose the policy or a summary of that policy. The policy should include requirements for the board to establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity for the board to assess annually both the objectives and progress in achieving them.

This recommendation is not satisfied .

Diversity includes, but is not limited to gender, age, ethnicity and cultural background. The Company is committed to diversity and recognises the benefits arising from employee and board diversity and the importance of benefiting from all available talent.

However, given the size of the Company and its Board, the Company’s Corporate Governance Plan does not include a policy specifically addressing diversity. The Board does not consider it necessary to have a diversity policy but will consider implementing one in the future.

Recommendation 3.3: Companies should disclose in each annual report the measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity set by the board in accordance with the diversity policy and progress towards achieving them.

This recommendation is not satisfied.

Refer to recommendation 3.2.

Recommendation 3.4: Companies should disclose in each annual report the proportion of women employees in the whole organization, women in senior executive positions and women on the board.

This recommendation is not satisfied.

At present, given the size of the Company and its operations, it currently does not have any women in senior executive positions or on the board. The Company will continue to monitor this matter as the Company and its operations grow and expand.

Refer to recommendation 3.2.

South East Asia Resources Limited – Annual Report 2016

12

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

PRINCIPLE 4 – SAFEGUARD INTEGRITY IN FINANCIAL REPORTING

Recommendation 4.1: The board should establish an audit committee.

This recommendation is not satisfied.

Given the size of the Company and its Board, it is not of a size to require an audit committee and the duties normally performed by an audit committee are undertaken by the Board as whole. The Company’s Auditors attend the Annual General Meeting, at which time they are available to answer shareholder questions in relation to their audit.

Recommendation 4.2: The audit committee should be structured so that it:

  • consists only of non-executive directors

  • consists of a majority of independent directors

  • is chaired by an independent chair, who is not chair of the board

  • has at least three members.

This recommendation is not satisfied.

Refer to recommendation 4.1.

Recommendation 4.3: The audit committee should have a formal charter.

This recommendation is not satisfied.

Refer to recommendation 4.1.

The integrity of the Company’s financial reporting is a critical aspect of SXI’s corporate governance and structures have been implemented during the reporting period to verify and safeguard the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting.

It is the policy of the Board that the Company’s financial statements be reviewed or audited, at a minimum, each half year. The Company does not have a formalised audit committee; instead all Directors are responsible for the financial statements.

PRINCIPLE 5 – MAKE TIMELY AND BALANCED DISCLOSURE

Recommendation 5.1: Companies should establish written policies designed to ensure compliance with ASX Listing Rule disclosure requirements and to ensure accountability at a senior executive level for that compliance and disclose those policies or a summary of those policies.

This recommendation is satisfied.

The Company has a comprehensive disclosure policy to comply with the ASX Listing Rules regarding the public disclosure of material information. The aim of this policy is to ensure that the Company release pricesensitive information in a timely manner.

The Company will immediately notify the market by announcement to the ASX of any information concerning the business of the Company that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s securities.

Information about the Company is regarded as material if it would, or would be likely to, influence persons who commonly invest in securities in deciding whether or not to buy or sell the Company’s securities.

Officers and employees are encouraged not to rely on their judgment and to consult the Chairman, Board and Company Secretary on whether particular information is considered to be material.

South East Asia Resources Limited – Annual Report 2016

13

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

PRINCIPLE 6 – RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS

Recommendation 6.1: Companies should design a communications policy for promoting effective communication with shareholders and encouraging their participation at general meetings and disclose their policy or a summary of that policy.

This recommendation is satisfied.

The Board respects the rights of all shareholders and, to facilitate the effective exercise of those rights, the Company is committed to effective communication with shareholders. This occurs by electronic ASX releases to the market and via a subscription facility on the Company’s website together with the postage of the Company’s Notice of Shareholder Meetings.

PRINCIPLE 7 – RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK

Recommendation 7.1: Companies should establish policies for the oversight and management of material business risks and disclose a summary of those policies.

This recommendation is satisfied.

Recommendation 7.2: The board should require management to design and implement the risk management and internal control system to manage the company’s material business risks and report to it on whether those risks are being managed effectively. The board should disclose that management has reported to it as to the effectiveness of the company’s management of its material business risks.

This recommendation is satisfied.

Recommendation 7.3: The board should disclose whether it has received assurance from the chief executive officer (or equivalent) and the chief financial officer (or equivalent) that the declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

This recommendation is satisfied.

In all its activities the Company will adopt a structured and consistent approach to risk management.

Risks will be assessed and managed through an overriding policy of identification, assessment, mitigation, monitoring and communication of risks associated with its activities. The overriding policy will be reviewed regularly against the changing activities of the Company.

The level of risk management will be consistent with the Company’s overall business objectives and risk appetite and tolerance.

Risk management and control will be incorporated into property protection, health, safety and environmental audits using either self-assessment or outside auditors as the Company deems appropriate.

The Board is responsible for the identification and management of business risks. The Board has obtained a written confirmation that the statement in relation to principle 4 above is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control.

The Board has obtained a statement confirming that the systems are operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects.

PRINCIPLE 8 – REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY

Recommendation 8.1: The board should establish a remuneration committee.

This recommendation is not satisfied.

14

South East Asia Resources Limited – Annual Report 2016

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

Given its size and stage in development, the Board has decided not to establish or to delegate specific authority to a remuneration committee. Responsibilities which would normally be delegated to such committees are performed by the Board as a whole. The remuneration report of the SXI which includes all Directors is included within the Directors’ Report. All Directors are remunerated by way of fees and the granting of options. However they do not receive bonus payments or retirement benefits. Upon retirement, there is no contractual right to further benefits other than statutory superannuation.

The Board fulfils its responsibilities to shareholders which include:

  • Ensuring that remuneration policies are appropriate;

  • Determining the basis for any incentive schemes for the Company;

  • Reviewing as required, the compensation arrangements for Directors.

Recommendation 8.2: The remuneration committee should be structured so that it:

  • consists of a majority of independent directors

  • is chaired by an independent chair

  • has at least three members

This recommendation is not satisfied.

Refer to recommendation 8.1.

Recommendation 8.3: Companies should clearly distinguish the structure of non-executive directors’ remuneration from that of executive directors and senior executives.

This recommendation is satisfied.

The Board, within the pre-approved shareholder limits, determines fees payable to individual non-executive directors.

The remuneration levels of Executive Directors are determined by the Chairman after taking into consideration those that apply to similar positions in comparable companies in Australia and Directors’ possible participation in any equity based remuneration scheme. The Chairman uses industry-wide data gathered by independent remuneration experts annually as his point of reference.

Options or shares issued to Directors pursuant to any equity-based remuneration scheme require approval by shareholders prior to their issue.

The remuneration levels of senior executives and other employees are determined by the Board of Directors after taking into consideration those levels that apply to similar positions in comparable companies in Australia and employees’ possible participation in any equity based remuneration scheme. If deemed necessary, the Directors will consult recruitment and remuneration experts and will, where such expenditure is not already in an approved Budget seek Board approval prior to finalising the appointment.

Options or shares issued to senior executives and other employees who are not Directors would be proposed by the Chairman and issued only after approval by the Board.

The policy will be implemented by reviewing, not less than annually, all aspects of the remuneration paid to all employees and executives to ensure that it motivates the pursuit of long-term success, a safe working environment and a culture consistent with the Company’s Corporate Governance Policy and is clearly linked to individual and group performance.

The major terms of the variation are outlined below:

  1. Richard Albarran, David Ingram and Cameron Shaw to administer the DOCA/Creditors’ Trust.

  2. The original established Deed Fund of $600,000 (of which $230,000 remains unpaid) be increased to $760,000 (“the Deed Fund") and dealt with in accordance with the DOCA/ Creditors’ Trust. Nelac shall make the following payments to the DOCA/Creditors Trust Fund:

  6. Interest will be charged on any overdue amounts at the rate of 12% per annum.

  7. Control and management of the Company will remain with the Directors until and upon effectuation of the amended DOCA and commencement of the Creditors’ Trust.

The important powers will be those related to the distribution of the funds, which will be included in the Trust Deed.

  17. If Nelac or the Company are unable to comply with any fundamental provisions of the DOCA including payment of monies due pursuant to the DOCA, and/or the Deed Administrators form the view that the Company is unlikely to be able to comply with the terms of the DOCA, then the Deed

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2016

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts

For the Year Ended 30 June 2016

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial report covers the consolidated entity of South East Asia Resources Limited (the “Company”) and controlled entities (the “Group”). South East Asia Resources Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The company is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing financial statements. The financial report was authorised for issue by a resolution of the Board of Directors on 25 August 2017.

Basis of Preparation

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

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

Reporting Basis and Conventions

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. The reporting currency is Australian Dollars.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Interpretations

During the current year, the Group was not required to adopt any new or revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that had an impact on the balances and transactions presented in any periods reported within this financial report.

Accounting Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Effective

There are no upcoming Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that could be seen to affect the balances and transactions within this financial report and to be presented in future periods.

a. Principles of Consolidation

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2016. 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.

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 intragroup asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a

South East Asia Resources Limited – Annual Report 2016

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2016

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.

b. Income Tax

The income tax expense (revenue) 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 the end of the reporting period. 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 the end of the reporting period. 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 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

34

South East Asia Resources Limited – Annual Report 2016

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts (continued)

For the Year Ended 30 June 2016

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. Property, Plant & Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Plant & Equipment

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated entity includes the cost of materials, direct labor, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

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 consolidated 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 profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated entity 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 depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate
Office Furniture 6% - 40%
Office Equipment 12.5% - 40%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

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

d. Leases

A distinction is made between finance leases which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased non-current assets, and operating leases under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits.

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 period.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.

35

South East Asia Resources Limited – Annual Report 2016

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2016

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.

e. 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 and 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.

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 as profit or loss.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement

i. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit and loss when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

ii. 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 using the effective interest rate method.

iii. Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the group’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

iv. Available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets

AFS 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. All AFS financial assets are measured at fair value. Gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income and reported within the AFS

South East Asia Resources Limited – Annual Report 2016

36

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2016

reserve within equity, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange differences on monetary assets, which are recognised in profit or loss. When the asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired the cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from the equity reserve to profit or loss and presented as a reclassification adjustment within other comprehensive income. Interest calculated using the effective interest method and dividends are recognised in profit or loss within ‘finance income’.

v. 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 prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.

vi. Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

f. Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at FVTPL.

All derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value and reported subsequently at fair value in the statement of financial position.

If a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur any related gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is transferred immediately to profit or loss.

g. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

At each reporting date, the Group 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 statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

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.

h. Intangibles

Exploration and evaluation

Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied:

  • i. the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and

  • ii. at least one of the following conditions is also met:

  • a. the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or

37

South East Asia Resources Limited – Annual Report 2016

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2016

  • b. exploration and evaluation 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 is continuing.

Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortised of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.

During the year the Company impaired its exploration and evaluation assets by $12,958,269.

Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development.

i. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary consolidated environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

Transaction 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 determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in profit or loss.

Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

South East Asia Resources Limited – Annual Report 2016

38

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts (continued)

For the Year Ended 30 June 2016

Assets and liabilities are translated at year-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 transferred directly to the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed.

j. Employee Entitlements

Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance 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.

k. Cash

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

l. Revenue

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).

m. 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 expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

n. Trade and Other Creditors

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

o. Contributed Equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

p. Earnings Per Share

  • Basic earnings per share: Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the net loss attributable to equity holders of the Company, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

39

South East Asia Resources Limited – Annual Report 2016

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2016

  • Diluted earnings per share: 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.

q. Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

r. Going Concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of the normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

For the year ended 30 June 2016, the Group incurred an operating profit of $32,106 (2015: $960,588 profit) and an operating cash outflow of $27,500 (2015: $1,111,548). As at 30 June 2016, the Group had a net current and overall net asset deficiency of $9,286,967.

At the meeting of creditors held on 20 March 2015 pursuant to Section 439A of the Corporations Act 2001, creditors resolved for the Company to execute a Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA). The DOCA was executed on 16 April 2015. For further details please refer to Note 25 - Post reporting date events .

The Directors have reviewed the circumstances of the Company and believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Consolidated Entity will be able to continue as going concern, after consideration of the following factors:

  • On 8 December 2016 the shareholders approved conversion of liabilities and loans of the Consolidated Entity totaling $8,854,253 for 177,085,060 fully paid ordinary shares. Of the approved conversion, 16,116,121 shares were issued on 12 December 2016 and 122,119,938 shares were issued on 7 March 2017.

  • The remaining balance of the interest bearing liabilities of $500,000 and amounts to be converted of $1,132,450 was converted on 15 August 2017.

  • As at 31 July 2017, the Company liabilities is of $305,000 (including $210,000 DOCA liability), compared to $10,330,979 as at 30 June 2014.

40

South East Asia Resources Limited – Annual Report 2016

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2016

  • As described in Note 23 ‘Events Subsequent to Reporting Date’:

  • The Company has made payments of $390,000 under the DOCA and the creditors approved variation of the DOCA on 31 May 2017. The Company is expecting to raise $1,000,000 through a rights issuance to existing shareholders to pay the balance of the DOCA commitment and the remaining borrowing amount of $277,500;

  • Subject the above, the Company will effectuate its DOCA and the Company will cease to be in administration.

  • In addition, given the Consolidated Entity’s history of successful raising of capital, the Directors are confident of the Company’s ability to raise additional funds as and when they are required but will not require these funds to continue as a going concern. This is because the Company’s expenditures can be curtailed and are discretionary based on whether these additional capital raises are successful.

Notwithstanding this, there is significant uncertainty whether the Company and the Group will be able to continue as going concerns.

The ability for the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, the group meeting the terms and requirements of the Deed of Company Administration (as amended), the significant requirements are as follows:

  • Complete and lodge audited accounts for 30 June 2017 by 30 September 2017;

  • Convene a meeting of shareholders to seek shareholder approval for the acquisition of exploration licences in Serbia.

  • The remaining claims by shareholders, Convertible note holders and or loan holders convert their claims to shares in the Company, once at the above general meeting approval is obtained to issue the additional shares in accordance with ASX listing requirements

  • Raise by 15 September 2017, $1,000,000 in additional equity. From the proceeds of the equity an amount of $390,000 will be paid to the Creditors Trust on or before the 15 September 2017. The remaining funds from the equity raising will be used to fund the working capital requirements of the Group.

Should the Company and the Group be unable to continue as going concerns, they may be required to realise their assets and extinguish liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company and the Group be unable to continue as going concerns.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2016

s. Comparative Figures

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

t. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical knowledge and experience, best available information and other factors that are considered to be relevant. 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.

The critical accounting estimates and judgements applicable to this financial report are as follows:

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

The Group capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recovered or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. While there are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted, the Directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written off since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded. Such capitalised expenditure is carried at reporting date at nil value.

Share-based payment transactions:

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes model.

The Group measures the cost of cash-settled share-based payments at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes formula, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted.

Recognition of deferred tax assets

The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on an assessment of the probability of the Consolidated Entity’s future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised. In addition, significant judgement is required in assessing the impact of any legal or economic limits or uncertainties in various tax jurisdictions. There are a number of transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Current tax liabilities and assets are recognised at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the taxation authorities.

u. Equity-settled compensation

Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued. Sharebased payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the option reserve. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of

each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

2. Financial Risk Management Policies

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise mainly of deposits with banks, receivables, payables and available for sale investments.

The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks, including interest rate and currency risk in accordance with the Group's financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Group's financial targets whilst protecting future financial security.

Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below.

a. Treasury Risk Management

Due to the size of the Group, responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board of Directors. This includes the use of hedging derivative instruments, credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements. The level of activity during the financial year did not warrant using derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge certain risk exposures.

b. Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The Group’s activities expose it to financial risks, market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The level of activity during the financial year did not warrant using derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge certain risk exposures. Where relevant and appropriate, the Company will avail itself of appropriate hedging instruments in future financial years.

c. Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.

As a result of significant operations in Indonesia a large purchase of services in United States Dollars (a number of Indonesian contractors use United States Dollars), the Group’s statement of financial position can be affected significantly by movements in the US$/A$ exchange rates. The Group also has transaction currency exposure. Such exposure arises from purchases by an operating entity in currencies other than the functional currency.

The Parent has a loan with a controlled entity denominated in US currency. This loan is not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future and as such effectively forms part of the parent entity investment in that controlled entity.

The following sensitivity is based on the foreign currency risk exposures in existence at the reporting date:

Management believes the balance date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in the financial instruments. The movements are reasonable with reference to the historical exchange rate fluctuations.

d. Credit Risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The Group did not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors at balance date.

e. Liquidity Risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash to fund the Group’s activities. The Directors regularly monitor the Company’s cash position and on an on-going basis consider a number of strategic initiatives to ensure that adequate funding continues to be available.

The table below reflects all contractually fixed pay-offs and receivables for settlement, repayments and interest resulting from recognised financial assets and liabilities. The undiscounted cash flows for the

South East Asia Resources Limited – Annual Report 2016

respective upcoming fiscal years are presented. Cash flows for financial assets and liabilities without fixed amount or timing are based on the conditions existing at 30 June 2016.

Maturity analysis of financial assets and liability based on management’s expectation

The risk implied from the values shown in the table below, reflects a balanced view of cash inflows and outflows. Trade payables and other financial liabilities mainly originate from the financing of the day to day operations of the Group. These assets are considered in the Group’s overall liquidity risk.

Cash Flow and Fair Value Interest Rate Risk

Due to the Company’s insignificant holding of cash and cash equivalents, the Group’s income and operating cash flows are not materially exposed to changes in market interest rates.

At balance date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to Australian variable interest rate risk that are not designated in cash flow hedges:

South East Asia Resources Limited – Annual Report 2016

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2016

At 30 June 2015, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit and equity would have been affected as follows:

-
-
AUD/USD - .5% (50 basis points) - -
-
-

The movements in profit are due to higher/lower interest costs from variable rate cash balances. The movements are reasonable with reference to the historical interest rate fluctuations.

f. Price Risk

The Group's exposure to commodity and equity securities price risk is minimal at present.

Equity securities price risk arises from investments in equity securities. The Company has one investment in a listed equity which is publicly traded.

The price risk for both listed and unlisted securities is immaterial in terms of a possible impact on profit and loss or total equity and as such a sensitivity analysis has not been completed.

g. Net Fair Values

The net fair values of:

  • Term receivables, government and fixed interest securities and bonds are determined by discounting the cash flows, at the market interest rates of similar securities, to their present value

  • Listed investments have been valued at the quoted market bid price at balance date, adjusted for transaction costs expected to be incurred. For unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market, the net fair value has been based on a reasonable estimation of the underlying net assets or discounted cash flows of the investment

  • Other loans and amounts due are determined by discounting the cash flows, at market interest rates of similar borrowings, to their present value

  • Other assets and other liabilities approximate their carrying value.

No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form other than listed investments.

Financial assets where the carrying amount exceeds net fair values have not been written down as the consolidated Group intends to hold these assets to maturity.

Aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities at balance date.

Assets and liabilities where the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value, for example, for financial instruments such as short-term trade receivables and payables, have not been adjusted to fair value.

Included within Level 1 of the hierarchy are listed investments. The fair values of these financial assets have been based on the closing quoted bid prices at reporting date, excluding transaction costs.

In valuing unlisted investments, included in Level 2 of the hierarchy, valuation techniques such as those using comparisons to similar investments for which market observable prices are available have been adopted to determine the fair values of these investments.

Derivative instruments are included in Level 2 of the hierarchy with the fair values being determined using valuation techniques incorporating observable market data relevant to the hedged position.

Income tax benefit due to timing differences not brought to account. Deferred tax liability is reduced to nil by benefits attributable to tax losses not brought to account.

The potential tax benefit will only be obtained if:

  • i. The consolidated entity derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised;

  • ii. The consolidated entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation[(a)] ; and

  • iii. No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the consolidated entity in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.

  • (a) The Consolidated Entity’s ability to realise and recognise the deferred tax asset in future periods is dependent on the Entity satisfying the “Continuity of Ownership” or “Same Business” tests. Given the significant changes in share structure, impending re-capitalisation and anticipated change in business direction (as referred to in Note 25), the Consolidated Entity may not be able to retain its carried forward losses.

During the period, the performance share values were re-valued to nil given management’s estimate on the likelihood that the relevant milestones would be met and that the rewards giving original value to the shares would be reaped. The probability of the milestones being met was revised to nil given the circumstances of the Company during the period as outlined throughout this financial report. The performance shareholders still technically hold all of their shares as at 30 June 2016, with the right to be reimbursed monies or convert their holdings to common shares where the performance milestones have not been met. However, this conversion and reimbursement right that is expected to be defaulted once the milestones have not been met is immaterial to the financial report.

Ordinary shares have no par value and participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the parent entity in proportion to the number of shares held. On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote.

Performance shares do not entitle the holder to any dividends and shall participate in the proceeds of surplus profits or assets on winding up of the parent entity only to the extent of $0.0001 per performance share. Performance shares do not entitle the holder to vote on any resolutions proposed at a general meeting of shareholders.

c) Capital management

Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain a good debt to equity ratio, provide the shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

The Group’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.

There are no externally imposed capital requirements.

Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the group’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.

23. Contingent liabilities

The Group’s subsidiary, South East Asia Energy Resources Pte Limited, had amounts owing to creditors of $685,764 as at 30 June 2014. These amounts were subsequently written off by the Group as at 30 June 2015 period. The Group has had no correspondence from creditors since 30 September 2014 and the subsidiary’s operations have ceased and were closed as last communicated by the company secretary of the subsidiary on 23 February 2015. The Singapore subsidiary has previously been funded solely by the Parent, with its ability to operate reliant on the Parent’s support. When the Parent went into administration and considering the Deed of Company Arrangement referred to within this financial report, was concluded that the Singapore subsidiary could no longer viably operate. The creditors of the Singapore subsidiary have not made any communication with the Parent with a claim on amounts owed by the Singapore subsidiary and it has been concluded that these creditors are no longer active.

The Directors have determined that the amount of $685,764 is considered a contingent liability given that there is no present obligation to settle these amounts. However there is a possibility these amounts may arise in future periods at which point a present and measurable obligations would deemed to have occurred and would be recorded as a provision accordingly.

Apart from the above mentioned items, as at 30 June 2016 the Group has no other contingent liabilities nor does it have any contingent assets.

  1. The related creditors including the Directors, Mr Gary Williams, Mr Jackob Tsaban and Mr Wayne Knight and any entity associated with the Directors or their relatives (including in-laws) will subrogate their claims against the Company in their entirety, and will not participate in any distribution under the DOCA and will subject to shareholder approval, convert their debts into equity on the same terms and conditions as approved at the General Meeting held on 8 December 2016.

  4. (b) 50% of the shares held by the Company in Amarant Mining AB as consideration for 50% of Alluvia Mining loan.

  5. Subject to point 9, all claims against the Company arising prior to the appointment of the Administrators will be admissible under the DOCA.

  6. There shall be a moratorium on enforcement of pre-Administration creditor claims under the DOCA.

  7. Any distribution paid to creditors/beneficiaries is to be in full and final satisfaction of their claims against the Company.

  8. Upon wholly effectuation of the DOCA, the Company shall be released from all pre-Administration debts owed to creditors participating in the DOCA.

  9. Pursuant to the Act, a Deed Administrator generally has the powers under the prescribed provisions provided under Schedule 8A of the Corporations Regulations, save for 3(c), 10 and 11. Pursuant to the proposed Creditors’ Trust, the Trustees’ powers would be the powers and rights of a duly appointed Trustee under statute and law. In addition to those powers, the Trustee would have additional powers to enable the proper administration of the trust fund for the purpose of distributing the funds to creditors/beneficiaries. The important powers will be those related to the distribution of the funds, which will be included in the Trust Deed.

  10. If Nelac or the Company are unable to comply with any fundamental provisions of the DOCA including payment of monies due pursuant to the DOCA, and/or the Deed Administrators form the view that the Company is unlikely to be able to comply with the terms of the DOCA, then the Deed Administrators are entitled to terminate the DOCA and or convene a meeting of the Company’s creditors at which creditors may resolve to:

  • Finally, in the order of priority as set out in Section 556 of the Act for payment of the claims of the creditors/beneficiaries, other than excluded creditors/beneficiaries, which are admitted to prove under the terms of the DOCA/Creditors’ Trust by the Deed Administrators, with any reference to the winding up of the company to be read as the company being subject to the DOCA/Creditors’ Trust and the relevant date being the date of appointment of the Administrator.

In payment of the claims of the creditors/beneficiaries, other than excluded creditors/beneficiaries, and to the extent that the funds available are insufficient to pay in full all such claims they will be paid proportionately.
