Cameroon Cobalt Pty Ltd – Financial Report 31 December 2020
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cameroon Cobalt Pty Ltd, the Group’s parent company, is limited by shares, was incorporated on 15 September 2020 and is domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is 32 Oakover Street, East Fremantle WA 6159 Australia.
The consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2020 were approved and authorised for issue by the Director at the date of the Director’s report.
These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (“AASBs”) (including Australian interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standard Board (“AASB”).
The financial statements and notes of the Group comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“AIFRS”). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial statements and notes comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The following specific accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:
a) Basis of preparation of the financial report
Historical Cost Convention
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. Monetary amounts are expressed in Australian Dollars (“AUD”).
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 1(k).
b) Basis of consolidation
The Group’s consolidated financial statements incorporate those of the Company and its subsidiary as at 31 December 2020.
All transactions and balances between the Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group companies.
c) Going Concern
The consolidated financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position shows that the Group had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $nil and a net current liability position of $51,000 as at 31 December 2020.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In arriving at this position the Director has had regard to the fact that based on the matters noted below the Group has, or in the Director’s opinion, will have access to, sufficient cash to fund administrative and other committed expenditure for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing this consolidated financial report. In forming this view the Director has taken into consideration the following:
As announced on the ASX platform on the 2 March 2021, the Group is in the final stages of completing a transaction (Messok East Agreement) with Ookami Limited (“Ookami”) to sell 100% of the issued share capital of the Company for 2.5 million fully paid ordinary shares in Ookami. As part of the Messok East Agreement, Ookami is required to complete a capital raise of approximately $5,700,000 (the “Capital Raise”). The Group has received confirmation from Ookami that should the transaction with Ookami be completed and the Capital Raise be successful, Ookami will fund the Group’s administrative and other committed expenditure for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing this consolidated financial report. It should be noted that should the Capital Raise be unsuccessful, Ookami is currently unable to fund the Group’s administrative and other committed expenditure for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing this consolidated financial report.
In addition, subsequent to period ended 31 December 2020, the Group successfully raised approximately $70,000 in Cameroon Cobalt to various sophisticated and professional investors.

Cameroon Cobalt Pty Ltd – Financial Report 31 December 2020
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Should the Group not achieve the matters set out above there is a material uncertainty whether the Group will continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.
d) Adoption of New and Amended Accounting Standards
The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretation issued by the AASB that are mandatory for the reporting period.
Any new, revised, or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
e) Revenue and Other Income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Interest revenue is brought to account on an accruals basis using the effective interest rate method and, if not received at the end of the reporting period, is reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a receivable.
f) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits available on demand with banks with original maturity of three months or less.
g) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Recognition and measurement
Exploration and evaluation expenditure, including costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Cost incurred before the Group obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in profit and loss.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure are recognised as an asset if the right of the area of interest is current and either:
-
The expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest; or
-
Activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
Subsequent measurement
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if:
-
Sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability; and
-
Facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
For the purpose of the impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash-generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from exploration and evaluation assets to mine properties within property, plant and equipment.
The value of the Group’s interest in exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent upon:
-
The continuance of the Group’s right to tenure of the areas of interest;
-
The result of future exploration; and
-
The recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
h) Equity
Share capital represents the fair value of shares that have been issued. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share capital, net of any related income tax benefits. The option reserve records the value of share-based payments.
i) Foreign currency translations and balances
Functional and presentation of currency
The functional currency of each entity within the Group is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in AUD.
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Foreign currency translations are translated into presentation currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when the fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in profit or loss.
j) Financial instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified as fair value through profit or loss, in which case transaction costs are immediately recognised as expenses in profit or loss.
Classification of financial assets
Financial assets recognised by the Group are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value. The Group currently has no financial assets other than cash and cash equivalents.
Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities classified as held for trading, contingent consideration payable by the Group for the acquisition of a business, and financial liabilities designated at Fair value through profit or loss, are subsequently measured at fair value.
All other financial liabilities recognised by the Group are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables and borrowings.
k) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The Director evaluates estimates and judgements incorporated into the consolidated financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
Key Judgement
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Key judgements are applied in considering exploration and evaluation expenditure to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Group operates. There were no significant impact upon the consolidated financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may have impact the Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
NOTE 2: KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL (“KMP”) COMPENSATION
There have been no payments made to the Director and KMP of the Group for the financial period ended 31 December 2020.
Loans from/to KMP and their related parties
During the period, the Group received a zero-interest loan of $466 from the Director, Mr Gallagher, to cover the incorporation expenses incurred by the Group. As at 31 December 2020 the loan was fully forgiven and hence the Group has recognised an amount of $466 as income for the period ended 31 December 2020.
Other transactions and balances with KMP and their related parties
There were no other transactions and balances with KMP and their related parties during the financial period.

NOTE 7: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Risk Management Policies
The Group’s financial instruments consist of trade payables.
Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risk the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments is liquidity risk.
(a) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.

CAMEROON COBALT PTY LTD ACN 644 348 818
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CAMEROON COBALT PTY LTD
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Cameroon Cobalt Pty Ltd (the “Company”) and it’s controlled entity (the “Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the period then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2020, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the period then ended in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.
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 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 c) to the consolidated financial report which indicates that as at 31 December 2020, the Group had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $nil and a net current liability of $51,000. As at the date of this report there is a material uncertainty that the Group can meet its administrative and other committed expenditure for the next 12 months. This condition, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1 c) to the financial statements, indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon
Those charged with governance are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the period ended 31 December 2020, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly 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 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, 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CAMEROON COBALT PTY LTD
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Report
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group’s or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
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 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 the financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CAMEROON COBALT PTY LTD
