Results Review for Financial Year 2021

Full Year ended 30 June	2021	2020	Variance
	A$000	A$000	%
Sales Revenue	342	290	18%
Reported Operating Profit / (Loss)	(6,285)	(5,366)	(17%)
Underlying Operating Profit / (Loss) (Reported Operating Loss, less Non-Recurring/One-off Costs)	(5,066)	(5,366)	6%
Non-Recurring / One-off Costs*	(1,219)	-	(0%)

*Costs represented as a negative number

First Graphene Limited has a reported operating loss of AUD 6,3m before non-recurring/one off items for the Financial Year ended 30 June 2021.

Excluding these non-recurring / one-off items related to restructuring of the business, valued at AUD 1.2m, the underlying operating result is a loss of AUD 5.0m , which is a 6% improvement (AUD 0.3m) over Financial Year 2020. The primary drivers for this improved result include:

Improved sales in Q4 of FY 2021, setting a sound base for FY 2022
Cost reduction initiatives:
a. Change in ERP system, reducing cost by 50%
b. Reduced spend on consultants
c. Headcount reduction

The One-off costs incurred in FY 2021 are primarily as result of a business restructure, which (amongst others) includes contractual payments to retiring directors (AUD 0.9m) , recruitment costs for new leadership and commercial team (AUD 0.1m) and non-cash writeoff of redundant intangible assets (AUD 0.25m) .

First Graphene’s refocused strategy is committed to rapidly growing its sales portfolio, whilst keeping its cost base under strict control and commensurate to its growth.

Likely Developments and expected results of operations

The Directors have excluded from this report any further information on the likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of those operations in future financial years, other than as mentioned in the Chairman’s Statement and Review of Operations, as the Directors have reasonable grounds to believe the nascent nature of the graphene market makes it impractical to forecast future profitability and other material financial events.

Remuneration report (audited)

The information provided in this Remuneration Report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.

This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for Directors of First Graphene Limited and Executives of the Group.

Key Management Personnel (‘KMP’) disclosed in this report:

Mr Warwick Grigor Dr Andy Goodwin (Appointed 1 July 2020) Mr Michael Bell (Appointed 11 January 2021) Mr Aditya Asthana (Appointed 22 March 2021) Mr Michael Quinert (Appointed 1 March 2021) Mr Craig McGuckin (Retired 8 January 2021) Mr Peter Youd (Retired 28 April 2021)

Remuneration Policy

Emoluments of Directors and Senior Executives are set by reference to payments made by other companies of similar size and industry, and by reference to the skills and experience of the Directors and Executives. Details of the nature and amounts of emoluments of each Director of the Company are disclosed annually in the Company's annual report.

Directors and Senior Executives are prohibited from entering into transactions or arrangements which limit the economic risk of participating in unvested entitlements.

There has been no direct relationship between the Group’s financial performance and remuneration of key management personnel over the previous 5 years.

Executive Director Remuneration

Executive pay and reward consist of a base fee and short-term performance incentives. Long term performance incentives may include options granted at the discretion of the Board and subject to obtaining the relevant approvals. The grant of options is designed to recognise and reward efforts as well as to provide additional incentive and may be subject to the successful completion of performance hurdles.

Executives are offered a competitive level of base pay at market rates (for comparable companies) and are reviewed annually to ensure market competitiveness.

The remuneration policy is designed to encourage superior performance and long-term commitment to First Graphene. At this stage of the Company’s development there is no contractual performance-based remuneration.

Executive Directors do not receive any fees for being Directors of First Graphene or for attending Board meetings.

All Executive Directors, Non-Executive Directors and responsible executives of First Graphene are entitled to an Indemnity and Access Agreement under which, inter alia, they are indemnified as far as possible under the law for their actions as Directors and officers of First Graphene.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration

The Company's policy is to remunerate non-executive Directors at a fixed fee for time, commitment and responsibilities. Remuneration for Non-Executive Directors is not linked to individual performance. Given the Company is at its early stage of development and the

10 | P a g e

financial restrictions placed on it, the Company may consider it appropriate to issue unlisted options to Non-Executive Directors, subject to obtaining the relevant approvals. This Policy is subject to annual review. All of the Directors' option holdings are fully disclosed. From time to time the Company may grant options to non-executive Directors. The grant of options is designed to recognise and reward efforts as well as to provide Non-Executive Directors with additional incentive to continue those efforts for the benefit of the Company.

Non-Executive Directors are remunerated for their services from the maximum aggregate amount (currently $300,000 per annum) approved by shareholders for this purpose. They receive a base fee which is currently set at $25,000 per annum per non-executive Director and $30,000 per annum for the non-executive Chairman. There are no termination payments to non-executive Directors on their retirement from office.

The Company’s policy for determining the nature and amounts of emoluments of Board members and Senior Executives of the Company is set out below:

Setting Remuneration Arrangements

The Company does not have a separate Remuneration Committee. Given the current size and composition of the Board, the Board believes there would be no efficiencies gained by establishing a separate Remuneration Committee. Accordingly, the Board performs the role of the Remuneration Committee. When the Board convenes as the Remuneration Committee it carries out those functions which are delegated to it in the Company’s Remuneration Committee Charter.

Executive Officer Remuneration, including Executive Directors

The remuneration structure for Executive Officers, including Executive Directors, is based on a number of factors, including length of service, the particular experience of the individual concerned, and the overall performance of the Company. The contracts for service between the Company and specified Directors and Executives are on a continuing basis, the terms of which are not expected to change in the immediate future. Upon retirement Executive Directors and Executives are paid employee benefit entitlements accrued to the date of retirement.

As an incentive, the Company has adopted an employee share option plan. The purpose of the plan is to give employees, directors and officers of the Company an opportunity, in the form of options, to subscribe for shares. The Directors consider the plan will enable the Company to retain and attract skilled and experienced employees, board members and officers, and provide them with the motivation to make the Company more successful.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Preparation

First Graphene Limited (“First Graphene” or the “Company”) is a for-profit company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia, whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. Its registered office and principal place of business is:

First Graphene Limited 1 Sepia Close Henderson WA 6166

A description of the nature of operations and principal activities of FGR and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) is included in the Chief Executive Officer’s Report, which is not part of these financial statements.

The financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 30 August 2021.

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report which:

has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB);
has been prepared on a historical cost basis except for assets and liabilities and sharebased payments which are required to be measured at fair value. The basis of measurement is discussed further in the individual notes;
is presented in Australian dollars;

Accounting policies

New standards, interpretation and amendments adopted by the Group

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020, except for the adoption of new accounting standards and interpretations effective for annual periods beginning 1 July 2020. The effect of the adoption of these new accounting standards and interpretations did not have a material impact on the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group, the nature and effect of which is discussed below.

The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

24 | P a g e

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Going Concern

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared on a going concern basis and in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, the Corporations Act 2001 and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.

Statement of compliance

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The following Standards and Interpretations have been issued by the AASB, are relevant to the Group, but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Group for the period ending 30 June 2021. Unless otherwise stated, the Group has yet to fully assess the impact of these Standards and Interpretations when applied in future periods.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of First Graphene Limited and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2021 (the Group ).

Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:

Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

The contractual arrangement with the other voting holders of the investee
Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:

25 | P a g e

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

De-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary
De-recognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests
De-recognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity
Recognises the fair value of the consideration received
Recognises the fair value of any investment retained’
Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss
Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities

Foreign currency translation

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is First Graphene Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rate at the date of the transaction, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant and other accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis used and are relevant to an understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout the notes to the financial statements. Where possible, wording has been simplified to provide clearer commentary on the financial report of the Group. Accounting policies determined non-significant are not included in the financial statements. There have been no changes to the Group’s accounting policies that are no longer disclosed in the financial statements.

The Notes To The Financial Statements

The notes include information which is required to understand the financial statements and is material and relevant to the operations and the financial position and performance of the Group. Information is considered relevant and material if, for example:

the amount is significant due to its size or nature;
the amount is important for understanding the results of the Group;
it helps to explain the impact of significant changes in the Group’s business; or
it relates to an aspect of the Group’s operations that is important to its future performance.

The notes are organised into the following sections:

26 | P a g e

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Performance for the year;
Operating assets and liabilities;
Capital structure and risk;
Other disclosures.

A brief explanation is included under each section.

Performance For the Year

This section focuses on the results and performance of the Group. This covers both profitability and the resultant return to shareholders via earnings per share combined with cash generation.

KEY ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made a number of judgements and applied estimates of future events. Judgements and estimates which are material to the financial report are found in the following notes.

COVID Impact

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the Company based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain and staffing. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Company unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID19) pandemic.

Share Based Payments Estimates

Judgement has been exercised in calculating the value of share based payments. The closing price of share sales on the day of the award of the share based payment is used for calculating the fair value of the payment.

Convertible notes carried at fair value

On initial recognition, the value of the convertible notes was calculated based on the proceeds received. At the reporting date, the fair value of the conversion options within the convertible loan has been assessed to be nil and credit risk has not changed from inception of the loan.

Inventories

Net realisable value tests are performed at each reporting date and represent the estimated future sales price of the product based on prevailing spot metals process at the reporting date, less estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. Inventory held at 30 June 2021 relates to raw material, work in progress and finished goods and is held at net realisable value.

The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of any provision is assessed by considering recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories, damaged, obsolete, slow moving inventories and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

2. Segment reporting

Identification of reportable segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports which are reviewed and used by the Board (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The existing operating segments are identified by management based on the way the Group’s operations were carried out during the financial year. Discrete financial information about each of these operating businesses is reported to the Board on a monthly basis.

The reportable segments are based on aggregated operating segments determined by the similarity of the asset base and revenue or income streams, as these are the sources of the Group’s major risks and have the most effect on the rates of return. The Group’s segment information for the current reporting period is reported based on the following segments:

Graphene production

As the Company expands its graphene production and inventory, the Board monitors the Company based on actual verses budgeted expenditure incurred.

Research and development

As the Company expands its research inhouse and in conjunction with third parties, the Board monitors the Company based on actual verses budgeted expenditure incurred.

Corporate services

This segment reflects the overheads associated with maintaining the ASX listed FGR corporate structure, identification of new assets and general management of an ASX listed entity.

Mining Asset Maintenance

Although the Company has suspended its mineral exploration and development in Sri Lanka the Board monitors the Company based on actual verses budgeted expenditure incurred.

The Group recognises revenue under IFRS 15, using the point in time criteria. This is because the customer obtains control of a promised asset and the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Considerations include, but are not limited to:

The entity has a present right to payment for the asset
The customer has legal title to the asset
The entity has transferred physical possession of the asset to the customer
The customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset
The customer has accepted the asset.

3. Revenue from contracts with customers

Accounting Policy

The Group accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of the consideration is probable.

Revenues from product sales are recognised when an identified performance obligation is satisfied, and the customer obtains and accepts control of the Company’s product. Sales of product generally occur at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the customer.

Taxes collected from customers relating to product and service sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred because the expected amortisation period of the asset that the Company would have recognised is one year or less.

4. Operating expenses and other income

Accounting Policy

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

Other revenue includes R&D credits received from the Australian tax government.

Government Grants

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group satisfies all attached conditions.

When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate.

When the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited against the asset and is released to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments.

Where a grant is received in relation to the tax benefit of research and development costs, the grant shall be credited to other income in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the year of receipt.

This includes JobKeeper income received due to COVID-19 during the year which has been presented as other income

7. Loss per share

Accounting Policy

Loss per share (“LPS”) is the amount of post-tax profit attributable to each share. The group presents basic and diluted LPS data for ordinary shares. Basic LPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted LPS takes into account the dilutive effect of all potential ordinary shares, being unlisted employee share options on issue.

OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

This section shows the assets used to generate the Group’s trading performance and the liabilities incurred as a result. Liabilities relating to the Group’s financing activities are addressed in the capital structure and finance costs section on page 41.

9. Inventories

Accounting Policy

Raw material, work in progress, finished goods and consumables are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Inventories expected to be sold (or consumed in the case of stores) within 12 months after the Statement of financial position date are classified as current assets, all other inventories are classified as non-current.

11. Property, plant and equipment

Accounting Policy

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure which is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:

Plant and equipment 3-7 years

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

Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to the profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.

Key estimates and assumptions

USEFUL LIFE OF ASSETS

The estimation of useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods require significant management judgements and are regularly reviewed. If they need to be modified, the depreciation and amortisation expense is accounted for prospectively from the date of the assessment until the end of the revised useful life (for both the current and future years).

12. Right of use assets and liabilities

Accounting Policy

The Company, as a lessee, will assess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease under AASB 16. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. If the contract is assessed to be, or contains, a lease, the Company will recognise a right-of-use asset (Note 1(r)) and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Company is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognised right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.

14. Financial liabilities

Accounting Policy

Convertible notes were issued by the Group which include embedded derivatives. Convertible notes are initially recognised as financial liabilities at fair value.

On initial recognition the fair value of the convertible notes equated to the proceeds received and subsequently the convertible note is measured at fair value. The movements are recognised in profit and loss as finance costs except to the extent the movement is attributed to changes in the group’s own credit risk status in which case, it is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.

Terms and Conditions

The Company entered into a Share Placement Agreement with Specialty Materials Investments, LLC (the Investor) on the 27[th] of May 2021.

Total AUD amount that can be drawn down: $8,000,000
Initial deposit shares issued: 2,800,000 shares at $0.235 per share
Fee paid: 1,021,276 shares at $0.235 per share
Final AUD value of shares to be issued: $8,480,000 (“subscription amount”)
Other Terms:
The final number of shares to be issued by the Company will be determined by applying the Purchase Price (as set out below) to the subscription amount. The Purchase Price will initially be equal to $0.30 per share and will reset after 10 August 2021 to the average of the five daily volume-weighted average prices selected by the Investor during the 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Investor’s notice to issue shares, rounded down to the next half a cent if the share price is at below 50 cents and whole cent if the share price is at above 50 cents, with no discount applicable to this formula. To the extent that Placement Shares are issued after six months, or 12 months, the Investor will receive a discount of, respectively, 3% or 6% to the foregoing Purchase Price formula.
The Purchase Price will be the subject of a Floor Price of $0.16. If the Purchase Price formula were to result in a purchase price that is less than the Floor Price, the Company may refuse to issue shares and instead opt to repay the relevant subscription amount in cash (with a 5% premium), subject to the Investor’s right to receive Placement Shares at the Floor Price in lieu of such cash repayment. The Purchase Price will not be the subject of a cap.

40 | P a g e

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company will issue the Placement Shares in relation to all or part of each of the above investments on the Investor’s request, during the period ending 24 months after the date of the investment.
The Company has retained the right (but has no obligation) to repay the subscription amount in cash in lieu of issuing shares by way of a repayment of the subscription amount together with the difference between the market price of the shares and the Purchase Price (if any) in relation to the shares that would otherwise have been issued.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE, FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK

This section outlines how the Group manages its capital, related financing costs and its exposure to various financial risks. It explains how these risks affect the Group’s financial position and performance and what the Group does to manage these risks.

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an efficient capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The Board’s policy in relation to capital management is to regularly and consistently monitor future cash flows against expected expenditures for a rolling period of up to 12 months in advance. The Board determines the Group’s need for additional funding by way of either share issues or loan funds depending on market conditions at the time. The Board defines working capital in such circumstances as its excess liquid funds over liabilities, and defines capital as being the ordinary share capital of the Company, plus retained earnings, reserves and net debt. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Board may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or reduce debt.

There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirement.

15. Financial Risk Management

(a) Financial risk management

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (currency risk and interest rate risk). The Group’s principal financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to raise finance for the Group’s operations. The Group has various financial assets such as trade and other receivables, deposits with banks, local money market instruments and short-term investments. The accounting policy with respect to these financial instruments is described in note 1.

Financial risk management structure:

Board of Directors

The Board is ultimately responsible for ensuring there are adequate policies in relation to risk oversight and management and internal control systems. The Group’s policies are designed to ensure financial risks are identified, assessed, addressed and monitored to enable achievement of the Group’s business objectives.

(b) Financial risks

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk a counterparty will default on its contractual obligation resulting in financial loss to the Group. Credit risk is managed on a group basis and structures the levels of credit risk it accepts by placing limits on its exposure to a single counterparty or group of counterparties. The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk.

receivables sold and payables for securities purchased which have been contracted for but not yet settled on the reporting date, respectively. The majority of these transactions are carried out on a delivery versus payment basis, which results in securities and cash being exchanged within a very close timeframe. Settlement balances outside standard terms are monitored on a daily basis.

Exposure to credit risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at the reporting date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provision for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and the notes to the financial statements. The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Group.

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of any collateral or other credit enhancements at the reporting date was $7,076,580 (2020: $8,053,134).

The Company banks with Westpac Banking Corporation (Westpac). Westpac’s long term credit ratings are A+ (Fitch Ratings), Aa3 (Moody's Investors Service) and AA(Standard & Poor's).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Impairment of financial assets

The group holds trade receivables that are subject to the expected credit loss model. While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of AASB 9, the identified impairment loss was immaterial.

Trade receivables

The group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring the expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 36 months before 30 June 2021 and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward- looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.

On that basis, the loss allowance as at 30 June 2021 was determined to be nil.

Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the group and failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due.

Impairment losses on trade receivables are presented as net impairment losses within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.

For the purposes of the Group’s disclosures regarding credit quality, its financial assets have been analysed as follows:

	Neither Past Due nor individually impaired $ Past due but not individually impaired $ Individually impaired $ Total $ Impairment allowance $ Total carrying amount $
Consolidated 30 June 2021 Trade receivables Consolidated 30 June 2020 Trade receivables	86,015 - - 86,015 - 86,015

	55,388 - - 55,388 - 55,388
	55,388 - - 55,388 - 55,388

Financial assets past due but not individually impaired

For the purpose of this analysis an asset is considered past due when any payment due under the contractual terms is received one day past the contractual due date. The majority of these transactions are carried out on a delivery versus payment basis, which results in securities and cash being exchanged within a very close timeframe. Settlement balances outside standard terms are monitored on a daily basis. Credit risk is also mitigated as securities held for the counterparty by the Group can ultimately be sold should the counterparty default. There were no renegotiated financial assets during the year.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Collateral pledged or held

There is no collateral held as security by the Group or its controlled entities.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash requirements and cash flows.

The primary objective of the Group is to manage short-term liquidity requirements in such a way as to minimise financial risk. The Group maintains sufficient cash resources to meet its obligations, cash deposits are repayable on demand.

The tables below present the cash flows receivable and payable by the Group under financial assets and liabilities by remaining contractual maturities at the reporting date. The amounts disclosed are the contractual, undiscounted cash flows.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk the fair value of future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market variables such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices.

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The consolidated entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and are exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange fluctuations.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency which is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.

The Group’s profitability can be significantly affected by movements in the $US/$A exchange rates, and to a lesser degree, though movements in the Sri Lankan Rupee verses the Australian dollar. Through reference to industry standard practices, and open market foreign currency trading patterns within the past 12 months, the group set the level of acceptable foreign exchange risk.

The Group seeks to manage this risk by holding foreign currency in $US GBP£ and Sri Lankan Rupee.

Sensitivity analysis

The following table does not include intra group financial assets and liabilities. It summaries the sensitivity of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities to external parties at 30 June 2021 to foreign exchange risk, based on foreign exchange rates as at 30 June 2021 and sensitivity of +/-5%:

(ii) Interest rate risk

Group

The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s cash position. A change of 10 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would result in a change of profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes all other factors remain constant.

Profile

At reporting date the interest rate profile of the Group’s financial instruments was:

Fair value versus carrying amount

Fair value of financial instruments

Set out below is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Group’s financial instruments which are carried in the financial statements.

Methodologies and assumptions

For financial assets and liabilities which are liquid or have short term maturities it is assumed the carrying amounts approximate to their fair value.

	30 June 2021 30 June 2020

	6,256,178 6,256,178 1,569,670 1,569,670

Fair value hierarchy

The Group classified the fair value of the financial instruments in the table below according to the fair value hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instruments:

Level 1 – values based on unadjusted quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2 – values based on inputs, including quoted prices, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace. Prices in Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3 – values based on prices or valuation techniques that are not based on observable market data.

	Fair value measurement using:

17. Share based payments

Accounting Policy

The value of options granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the option (the vesting date).

At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the statement of comprehensive income is the product of:

The grant date fair value of the option;
The current best estimate of the number of options that will vest, taking into account such factors as the likelihood of employee turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood of non-market performance conditions being met; and
The expired portion of the vesting period.

Until an option has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer awards vest than were originally anticipated to do so.

Share based payment expense

The Group recognised total share-based payment expenses as follows:

	2021 $ 2020 $
Shares issued to employees Option issued to employees Performance rights issued to employees Shares issued to Advisors Options issued to directors Total	67,375 52,500 216,555 63,707 6,900 - 128,500 - - 649,056

Shares Issued to Employees

On 23 December 2020, the Company issued 275,000 shares at a nominal value of $0.245 per share to various employees. The total of $67,375 has been expensed.

Share Option Plan

The Company provides directors, certain employees and advisors with share options. The options are exercisable at set prices and the vesting and exercisable terms varied to suit each grant of options.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information contained in annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the annual report, which is expected to be made available to us after that date.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and will request that it is corrected. If it is not corrected, we will seek to have the matter appropriately brought to the attention of users for whom our report is prepared.

Responsibilities of the directors 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 preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:
