Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2016

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The preliminary financial report is a financial report that has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement aspects of Australian Accounting Standards adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), the Corporations Act 2001 and Appendix 4E of the Australian Securities Exchange listing rules.

It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the 2015 annual report, June 2016 half year report and any public announcements made by Public Holdings (Australia) Limited during the year in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX Listing Rules.

Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.

a) Income Tax

The income tax expense for the year comprises current income tax expense and deferred tax expense. Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable statutory tax rate. Current tax liabilities are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to the relevant taxation authority.

b) Trade and Other Receivables

Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment.

Other receivables arise due to contractual obligations or settlement with third parties.

c) Financial Instruments

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Loans and receivables

Loans are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognised.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.

d) Revenue and Other Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

e) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues (with the exception of interest), expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.

Public Holdings (Australia) Limited

ACN: 000 332 918

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2016

f) Going Concern:

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuation of normal business operations and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Directors have considered and noted the following with regard to the ability at the Company to continue as a going concern:

The Company issued an additional 6,500,000 ordinary shares on 10 June 2016 at an issue price of 6 cents ($0.06) each. This issue was undertaken by a private placement under the Company's power to issue securities under the listing rules of the ASX (specifically, ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A). This placement of shares raised $387,000 after costs and was principally for the purposes of providing working capital to fund the costs associated with implementation of the proposed acquisition of Mobilicom Ltd. As this acquisition did not proceed, part of these funds are still available to the Company.

At 31 December 2016, the financial statements of the Company show a receivable of $450,000 due from Mobilicom Ltd. Of this amount, $150,000 has been received during January 2017 and the balance is due by 28 February 2017. This will increase the cash reserves of the Company.

The Board continues to assess opportunities for the acquisition of a new business and recognises that the implementation of any such transaction will involve costs. If the Company were to pursue a transaction for the acquisition of a new business, it is likely that the Company would seek to raise additional capital to cover the costs associated with its implementation.

The ASX fund raising rules to provide more flexibility for smaller companies to raise additional capital in an easier and potentially less costly manner. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue equity securities (as that term is defined in the ASX Listing Rules) up to 10% of their issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after an Annual General Meeting (10% Placement Facility). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity. The Board considers that ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and, if approved at the next Annual General Meeting, ASX Listing Rule 7.1A) give the Company the capacity to raise capital sufficient to fund the costs associated with implementation of any transaction for the acquisition of a new business.

On the basis of these factors, the Directors believe that the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements is appropriate and the Company will be able to repay its debts as and when they fall due.
