Mr Malcolm McComas Ms Susan Thomas Mr Cameron Manifold (appointed 14 April 2021)
Mr Justin Clyne (resigned 14 April 2021)
Principal activities
The principal activities of the consolidated entity are as an oil and gas and mineral investment holding company with a focus on non-operational assets such as royalties, free carried interests and equity investments. The consolidated entity's focus is on a number of areas including but not limited to:
-
The Canning Superbasin in Western Australia;
-
Bass Strait through a 1% interest in the Weeks Royalty;
-
The Gulf of Mexico through the company’s investment in Byron Energy Limited (ASX:BYE);
-
A right to a royalty over several exploration permits known as Blackwater Gold Project located in New Zealand. The royalty is subject to an option to buy back the royalty (in respect of the area which was previously EP 40542) which is exercisable at any time until a decision to mine;
-
A right to a royalty over the Bowden’s Silver Mine in NSW owned by Silver Mines Limited (ASX: SVL); and
-
The UK North Sea through its investment in the unlisted entity Spark Exploration Pty Ltd.
The consolidated entity’s activities are generally passive in nature and its royalty income is currently dependent on the activities and quantum of oil sales by third parties and the receipt of dividends, if any, from its investments.
Dividends
There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year.
Review of operations
The profit for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $83,581 (30 June 2020: loss of $5,830,774).
The most significant activity in the financial year to 30 June 2021, was the successful capital raising conducted in February and March 2021 via an accelerated pro rata 1 for 4 non-renounceable entitlement offer of new shares at $0.12 per share which raised a total of $2,590,902 before costs of the capital raising. Funds raised were used to repay the balance of the company’s loan which was taken out in 2019 to partly fund the acquisition of Royalco Resources Limited, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the company.
During the year, the company also changed auditors to RSM Australia Partners and appointed Mr Cameron Manifold, an experienced oil and gas industry professional with over 35 years’ experience, as an independent non-executive director.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
During the year the company issued 21,590,850 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.12 per share raising a total of $2,590,902 before costs, with the funds raised being used to repay the company’s outstanding borrowings during the year.

Fitzroy River Corporation Ltd Directors' report 30 June 2021
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The principles of the company’s executive strategy and supporting incentive programs and frameworks are to:
-
align rewards to business outcomes that deliver value to shareholders;
-
drive a high performance culture by setting challenging objectives and rewarding high performing individuals; and
-
ensure remuneration is competitive in the relevant employment market place to support the attraction, motivation and retention of executive talent.
The consolidated entity does not have any employees. Non-executive directors are expected to assist with the company’s affairs from time to time on an as required basis, performing extra or special services on discrete matters, and under the overall supervision of the full board of directors. Their appointment letters reflect this.
The remuneration structure that has been adopted by the company involves paying relatively low fees in respect of board fees, with the expectation, that if additional executive work is required from the directors that the board member will be paid fees for additional work. During the year, no bonuses, options or incentives were paid.
The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration on a periodic basis by reference to recent market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board.
From 1 January 2018, fees for non-executive directors are $10,000 per quarter (plus GST) and $15,000 per quarter (plus GST) for the chairman. An aggregate limit of $300,000 in directors’ fees for the purposes of clause 7.5 of the constitution was set by shareholders in 2006. This limit does not include fees for company secretarial services for executive services.
Consolidated entity's performance and link to remuneration
The consolidated entity does not have any employees. Board fees are a fixed annual amount and not linked to the performance of the consolidated entity. Refer to the section 'Additional information' below for details of the earnings and total shareholders' return for the last five years.
Use of remuneration consultants

Voting and comments made at the company's 25 November 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM)

Fitzroy River Corporation Ltd Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
Note 1. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, including financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive Income
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 24.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Fitzroy River Corporation Ltd ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Fitzroy River Corporation Ltd and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

Fitzroy River Corporation Ltd Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Revenue recognition
The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:
Royalty revenue
Royalty income is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement (provided this it is probable the economic benefits will flow to the group and the amount can be reliably measured). Royalties determined on a time basis are recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the agreement. Royalty agreements that are based on production, sales and other measures, are recognised by reference to the underlying agreement.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
-
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.
Fitzroy River Corporation Ltd (the 'head entity') and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the 'separate taxpayer within group' approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.
Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
16
Fitzroy River Corporation Ltd Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Trade and other receivables
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.
Derivatives are classified as current or non-current depending on the expected period of realisation.
Investments and other financial assets
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the company intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition.
Financial assets at amortised cost
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost only if both of the following conditions are met: (i) it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and (ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset represent contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment of financial assets
The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the company’s assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.
17
Fitzroy River Corporation Ltd Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired as part of an asset acquisition, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.
Royalty rights
Royalty rights acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
Trade and other payables
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. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

Fitzroy River Corporation Ltd Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Fitzroy River Corporation Ltd, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
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.
Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
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 tax authority is included in other receivables or other 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 tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2021. The consolidated entity has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.
Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related amortisation charges for its finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.
19
Fitzroy River Corporation Ltd Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the company considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. A net deferred tax asset has not been recognised in the current period because its realisation of the consolidated entity's tax losses has not been deemed probable.
Investment in Spark Exploration Pty Ltd ("Spark")
Spark is a unlisted private company. During the current year the board have determined the fair value of the investment with reference to estimated net present value of future cash flows from each project held by Spark, adjusted by:
1) Spark's holding in each project;
2) an estimate of each project likelihood of geological and commercial success; and
3) the consolidated entity's holding in Spark.
The above fair value approach is categorised as a Level 3 hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement (refer to note 10 and note 19.)
Weeks royalty carrying value
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on oil and gas prices in the prior year, meaning that there were indicators of impairment at 30 June 2020. For this reason, the company engaged external experts to assist with estimating the expected production volumes of the Bass Strait oil and gas fields, as well as future commodity prices. These inputs were used in a discounted cash flow analysis, applying a discount rate of 7% on the forecast future cash flows net of tax, resulting in impairment of $1,639,000 in the prior year. Refer to note 11. The Board reviewed the Weeks royalty asset in the current year and were satisfied that there were no indicators of impairment at 30 June 2021. This assessment has included an assessment of revenue levels, commodity prices and the oil and gas industry generally.
Note 3. Impact of COVID 19 pandemic
The global economy has continued to be affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic during the current-financial year. Many countries have required entities to limit or suspend business operations and have also implemented travel restrictions and quarantine measures. Monetary and fiscal stimulus packages have also been introduced in some countries. As the COVID19 outbreak continues to evolve, the estimated financial impact cannot be fully determined at this time. The impact which COVID 19 has had on the consolidated entity is set out below.
The pandemic has had a significant impact on oil and gas commodity prices which have had a significant impact on the consolidated entity’s financial performance during the current year. In the prior financial year the consolidated entity recognised a significant impairment in relation to its intangible assets, revaluation losses through other comprehensive income in relation to its financial assets and a fair value loss to derivative financial instruments.
During the current financial year the consolidated entity's royalty income has stabilised. The Board have reviewed the carrying values of all intangibles, financial assets and derivative financial instruments. There have been no further impairments, revaluation losses or financial losses incurred that can be attributed to the pandemic.
The impact of COVID-19 on the consolidated entity's corporate operations has not been material due to the scale and nature of operations. The consolidated entity has not received any government support of stimulus.
Note 4. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The consolidated entity is organised into one operating segment: management of resources based royalties and investments. This operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODM) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. As the results are the same as the consolidated entity they have not been repeated.

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

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.

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.
