REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The Golden Deeps Ltd ('Golden Deeps' or 'the Company') primary focus is high-grade copper and vanadium (with lead, zinc and silver) projects in the World-Class Otavi-Mountain-Land (OML) copper district, northeast Namibia, Africa (see Figure 1). The Company also holds highgrade gold and copper-gold projects at Tuckers Hill and Havilah in central NSW, Australia (Figure 7) and cobalt-silver projects at Professor and Waldman in Ontario, Canada (Figure 9).

Appendix 1 includes a tabulation of current tenements and details.

Key projects in Namibia include the Abenab high-grade vanadium (lead, zinc) project (Abenab), the Nosib Block high-grade vanadium, copper, lead, silver project (Nosib) and the Khusib Springs high-grade copper-silver Project, all within 20km of each other (Figure 2).

The Company completed a mining study5 on the Abenab Project that established that there is potential for a viable underground mining operation focused on the higher-grade portions of the current Abenab Mineral Resource at a targeted production rate of 14,500 tonnes per month (tpm) or 174,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of high-grade Vanadium ore with lead and zinc by-products.

Processing studies are in progress5, focused on leaching high-grade vanadium concentrate to produce a saleable, high-value, vanadium product (intermediate or vanadium pentoxide - V2Os).

Figure 1: Key Projects in Namibia, location

Drilling at Nosib Project, 20km along strike to the southwest of Abenab (Figure 2), intersected high-grade vanadium, copper, lead and silver mineralisation from surface including, in NSBRC0102: 29m @ 1.54% Cu, 4.49% Pb, 1.19% V2O5, 6.97 g/f Ag from 2m incl. 9m @ 3.66% Cu, 11.91% Pb, 3.62% V2O5, 7.70 g/t Ag2. A deeper zone of stratabound copper-silver mineralisation up to 45m thick was also intersected and remains open at depth. Further drilling is planned to commence shortly to define and extend both the shallow high-grade copper. lead, vanadium zone and the deeper copper-silver mineralisation.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Drilling also tested shallow projections of the Khusib Springs deposit that previously produced 300,000t at 10% Cu and 584 g/t Ag4 to only 300m depth. Deeper drilling is planned to target a repeat of this very-high-grade copper-silver shoot at depth.

On the Lachlan fold Belt (LFB) projects in NSW, drilling is planned to test for high-grade gold shoots at Tuckers Hill once access agreements for Crown Land are finalised with the Native title claimant, and soil sampling is planned for the Havilah copper-gold project, in the vicinity of historical high-grade copper mines.

Exploration is also planned for the Professor and Waldman cobalt-silver projects in Ontario, where previous rockchip sample grades up to 1.01% Co, 200 g/t Ag and 0.6 g/t Au15 have been produced.

EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT STUDIES - NAMIBIA

The Company holds an 80% interest in five Exclusive Prospecting Licences (EPL's) over 433.72 km2. The two key tenements, EPL 3543 and EPL 5496, include the historically important and high-grade Abenab vanadium mine, the very-high-grade Khusib Springs copper-silver mine and the Nosib Block prospect (Figure 2).

The Companies Projects are located in the Otavi Mountain Land (OML), northeast Namibia (Figure 1), which is a globally significant base metal province with production coming from several mines, including the now closed Tsumeb, Kombat, and Berg Aukas mines as well as Abenab and Khusib Springs.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Nosib Block High-Grade Copper-Vanadium-Lead-Silver Drilling Intersections:

Nosib Block was a high-grade copper-vanadium mine that is located at the western end of EPL3543, 16km west of Khusib Springs and 20km along strike from the Company's Abenab highgrade Vanadium Project (Figure 2). Copper mineralisation was discovered at Nosib in 1915 with mine access development work between 1917 to 1920. The historic No 2 shaft was developed on three levels to a depth of 120m but not mined. Golden Deeps' geologists accessed the three levels of the mine and took underground channel samples from the walls of the drives. Best channel results include NOUG0001: 6m at 9.3% Cu, 4.72% Pb. 7.92g/t Ag4.

The high-grade copper-silver-vanadium-lead mineralisation dips moderately to the north and is hosted by conglomerate and sandstone (mine sequence) in contact with dolomite to the north and basement granite to the south. The mineralisation shows good continuity and remains in-situ because the areas between the development drives were not mined.

The drilling at Nosib tested between the previously developed levels, targeting extensions to the high-grade copper-lead-silver-vanadium ore that was channel sampled. A total of 15 reverse circulation (RC) for 958m were completed at Nosib Block. Copper mineralisation was intersected in all 15 holes, with the majority of the holes producing significant copper, lead and high-grade vanadium intersections, as well as increasing silver assays with depth.

Two key zones have been identified at Nosib Block, including:

The shallow high-grade, copper-lead-vanadium zone that is open along trike to the î1. southwest and northeast, that includes the following key intersections:

NSBRC007': 24m @ 1.33% Cu, 4.77% Pb, 1.37% V2Os, 3.67g/t Ag from 3m
incl. 6m @ 3.67% Cu, 14.9% Pb, 4.40% V2Os, 12.16g/t Ag from 6m
NSBRC0102: 29m @ 1.54% Cu, 4.49% Pb, 1.19% V2Os, 6.97g/t Ag from 2m
incl. 9m @ 3.66% Cu, 11.91% Pb, 3.62% V2Os, 7.70g/f Ag from 3m

The deeper thick, stratabound, copper-silver zone, that is developed across the entire ii) ~45m thickness of the arenite/conglomerate host unit, that includes the following key intersections:

NSBRC0092: 45m @ 0.64% Cu, 4.19g/t Ag from 38m
incl. 5m @ 2.58% Cu, 18.75g/t Ag from 61m, and,
Incl. 3m @ 1.18% Cu, 7.03 g/t Ag from 74m
$\alpha$ . NSBRC0031 44m @ 0.74% Cu, 0.17% Pb, 4.37 g/t Ag from 46m
incl. 4m @ 2.28% Cu, 1.10% Pb, 6.17 g/t Ag from 51m, and,
incl. 4m @ 1.67% Cu, 17.0 g/t Ag from 68m, and,
incl. 1m @ 3.46% Cu, 18.9 g/t Ag from 75m

Further drilling is now planned to define the resource potential and test strike extensions of the shallow high-grade copper-lead-vanadium zone as well as test the down plunge potential of the stratabound, copper-silver zone (see Figure 3, cross section, below).

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Figure 3: Nosib Cross section 801,015mE with high-grade copper-Lead-Vanadium-Silver intersections

Khusib Springs High-Grade Copper-Silver Project:

The Khusib Springs copper-silver mine is also located on EPL3543, approximately 10km west of Nosib Block but on a separate, parallel, corridor (Figure 2). The mine previously produced a very high-grade 300,000t at 10% Cu and 584g/t Ag4, to only 300m depth, with drilling down dip having intersected further copper-silver mineralisation, that is open at depth (see Figure 4, below).

A targeting study on Khusib Springs was completed by South African based geological consultancy, Shango Solutions, in January 20218, and indicated potential for remnant zones of copper-silver mineralisation on the margins of the mined stopes, as well as significant potential for a repeat of the very-high grade Khusib Springs copper-silver orebody at depth (Figure 4).

A shallow RC drilling program totalling 10 holes for 331m tested for shallow, high-grade, coppersilver mineralisation adjacent to the historical stopes and up-plunge from orebodies mined underground, producing significant copper-silver intersections that include:

  • KHRC0043: 6m @ 1.07% Cu, 86.03 g/t Ag from 13m incl. 2m @ 2.59% Cu, 179 g/t Ag
  • KHRC0053: 3m @ 0.77% Cu, 113.92 g/f Ag from 32m incl. 1m @ 1.28% Cu, 144 g/f Ag

Several holes intersected previous stoping/mining that extends above the modelled openings. The intersections above verify that a proportion of the remnant shallow copper-silver mineralisation remains un-mined and further interpretation and modelling will be carried out to determine open pit resource potential.

Potential for a deeper repeat of the very-high-grade Khusib Springs copper-silver orebody highlighted by the Shango study, is currently the focus of further interpretation, modelling and targeting. Deeper diamond drilling will be planned to further test the highly prospective zone on the northern side of an apparent normal-fault, where mineralisation has already been intersected by previous drilling (Figure 4). The discovery of a repeat of Khusib Springs would be a 'game-changer' for Golden Deeps and will be a key focus of the 2021-22 program.

Abenab Vanadium Project Mining Study Completed and Processing Study in progress:

The historical Abenab Mine was a major open pit and underground vanadium and base metal mining operation in the Otavi Mountain Land, with reported historical ore production of ~1.8Mt @ 1.05% V2Os for approximately 102,000t of concentrate grading 18% V2Os, 13% Zn and 42% Pb. Historical exploration and more recent drilling indicates that there is potential for extensions of the mineralisation at depth and laterally. Potential exists to re-open the Abenab Mine and to process the high-grade V-Zn-Pb mineralisation using simple, low-cost processing methods.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

In January 2019, Golden Deeps reported an upgrade in the resource following detailed geological reviews and creation of a new geological model. The Inferred Mineral Resource reported is 2.8Mt at 0.66% V2Os, 2.35% Pb and 0.94% In at a cut-off grade of 0.2% V2Os?.

Abenab Mining Study:

During the reporting year the company completed a mining study on the Abenab high-grade vanadium-lead-zinc project (the Mining Study5).

The Mining Study was carried out by Bara Consulting, based in South Africa, with the aim of providing an understanding of likely mining scenarios, costs and cut-off arades to quide further development and processing studies and aid decision making during the current and ongoing exploration programs.

The study has established that there is potential for a viable underground mining operation focused on the higher-grade portions of the current Mineral Resource® at a targeted production rate of 14,500 tonnes per month (tpm) or 174,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of highgrade Vanadium ore.

Mining costs based on mechanised cut and fill methodology are estimated to be in the order of US\$44/t at the above production rate and, with high-level processing cost assumptions, leads to an effective Run of Mine (ROM) break-even cut-off grade of 1% V2Os equivalents (approximately 0.7% V2O5).

The Mineral Resource available to mine at the above ROM cut-off grade is 873,000 tonnes at an average grade of 1.6% EqV10. Mining recovery assuming planned ore-loss in the production cycle is in the order of 724,000 tonnes at 1.5% EqV (approximately 1% V2Os).

Access was modelled based on extending the existing shaft for different production rates as well as establishing a new decline from surface (and maintaining the existing shaft for ventilation). The difference in cost and timeframe to refurbish and extend the shaft for a 14,500 tpm production rate versus establishing a new decline is not substantial, and the decline option is favoured due to flexibility of production rate should additional ore-sources be brought into production.

The available resource for mining is based on a grade - tonnage versus cut-off grade calculation at the assumed production rate and mining and processing cost inputs5. There is a significant opportunity to increase the mineable resource as a sub-set of what is currently defined through reducing input cost assumptions and increasing recovery. If this is achieved the tonnage increases exponentially below a cut-off grade of 0.5% EqV5 (approximately 0.35% V2O5), as the large volume of lower grade resource becomes accessible and bulk-tonnage mining methods can be introduced - increasing the mining rate and reducing costs.

Further exploration success, delineating additional resources (targeted at depth, Figure 5). would increase the mineable resource inventory and extend mine-life as well as provide an opportunity for increased mining volumes if tonnes per vertical metre at the shallower levels is improved.

Abenab Processing Study:

In addition, a processing study has been initiated through metallurgical consultants and processing engineers, Core Resources ("Core"), in Brisbane, for Phase 2, downstream processing testwork to develop flow-sheet options for the generation of high-value Vanadium

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Pentoxide (V2O5) as well as lead and zinc (and potentially Copper) products from initial gravity concentrate.

Previous testwork on the high-grade underground resource material by Avonlea Minerals Ltd in 201211, using gravity separation, produced a high concentrate grade of 21% V2Os, 14% Zn and 53% Pb. Further, Phase 1, testwork by Golden Deeps on the Abenab mineralisation by specialist metalluraical testwork company, Mintek, in South Africa, was completed on remnant low-grade mineralised material from historic surface stockpiles (much lower grade than the This work confirmed that low-grade high-grade underground resource material). mineralisation could also be substantially concentrated through simple gravity separation methods from material grading 0.30% V2O5, 1.29% Pb and 1.14% In to an approximate 30 times upgrade of 8.9 % V2O5, 30.5% Pb, 8.95% Zn12.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Figure S: Cross section through Abenab breccia showing high-grade mineralisation and potential at depth

Concentrate from the Mintek testwork was provided to Core to carry out the, Phase 2, downstream processing testwork. Preliminary results have demonstrated favourable leach recoveries of >90% for Vanadium and Zinc with the majority of the Lead reporting to the residue.

Ongoing work will examine differential precipitation of V2Os and recovery of Zinc from the leach solution, as well as extraction of Lead from the leach residue. Continued testwork is also examining options for reducing acid-consumption and minimising operating costs.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

The outcomes of this testwork will auide development of an optimal processing flow-sheet, with the upside opportunity of establishing stand-alone mining and processing operations at Abenab to produce vanadium, zinc, lead and possibly copper.

Based on the positive outcomes of the Mining Study and initial processing testwork the Company is currently re-evaluating and modelling the potential to locate extensions to the high-grade Vanadium and base metal sulphide mineralisation both within the vicinity of the current resources and at depth (Figure 5).

Other EPLs in the Otavi Mountain Land:

Golden Deeps holds three Exclusive Prospecting Licences, EPL's 5232, 5233 and 5234, between the towns of Kombat and Otavi near the Deblin Copper Mine (Figure 6). Soil sampling programs have been conducted at the Hohentweil and Kombat South prospects on EPL5232 and EPL5233.

Figure 6: Location plan EPL's 5232, 5233 and 5234 SW of Khusib Springs, Nosib Block and Abenab

At the Hohentweil prospect on EPL5232, 205 soil samples were collected and analysed. The peak value was 279ppm Cu in a background of less than 50ppm Cu16. The copper anomaly is over 1km long by 400m wide and coincides with a low hill surrounded by sandy transported soil that is geochemically inert (Figure 7). Copper mineralisation was mapped at the surface at the contact between a carbonate rock and metavolcanics that trends to the southwest.

The Hohentwell prospect is located approximately 5km along strike to the west of the Deblin Copper Mine that is held by Votorantim Metals. The Deblin Mine mineralised trend shows good continuity and is likely to continue under cover to the west of Hohentweil where it has not been tested with drilling.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

At the Kombat South prospect on EPL5233, 330 soil samples were collected and analysed with a peak value of 365ppm Cu in a background of less than 50ppm Cu14. Two anomalies were identified on low hills aligned in an approximate east-west direction parallel to bedding. The larger anomaly is 500m long by 200m wide and is surrounded by transported sandy soil that has shielded the bedrock geochemical response.

Shallow reconnaissance drilling is planned to test the copper anomalies at the Kombat South and Hohentweil prospects. Drilling will test the mineralised Deblin trend and extend the coverage into areas with shallow cover where the soil sampling was not effective.

Additional soil sampling is planned at other priority targets on EPL5232, 5233 and 5234 to generate targets for drilling.

AUSTRALIAN GOLD AND COPPER-GOLD PROJECTS:

The Company holds a 100% interest in two granted exploration licences, EL9014, Tuckers Hill and EL8936, Havilah, located near Mudgee in the Lachlan Fold Belt of NSW (see Figure 8).

The projects are located in the east LFB, a high-profile mining and exploration region that contains several major gold, copper-gold and silver deposits. These include Newcrest Mining Ltd's Cadia-Ridgeway Mine, Evolution Mining Ltd's Lake Cowal Mine, China Molybdedum Co. Ltd's North Parkes Mine, Alkane Resources Ltd's Tomingley mine, and Silver Mines Ltd's Bowdens deposit.

Tuckers Hill Gold Project (EL9014)

The Tuckers Hill Gold Project is located near the town of Hargraves in New South Wales at the northern end of the Hill End Goldfield (Figure 8). Peak Minerals Ltd has reported a total Mineral Resource of 4.68Ml @ 3.3g/t Au13 for Hill End.

Diamond drilling is planned to test gold mineralised veins in the east limb of the Tuckers Hill anticline below previous underground mining. The holes are planned from the crest of the hill and will target high-grade gold in saddle reefs and leg structures at the apex of the anticline.

The drill sites are located on Crown Land Lots that have varying status that require land access agreements and Heritage agreements with the Native Title claimants. Golden Deeps continues its engagement with the various stakeholders and the Native Title claimants to gain access approvals for drilling. Rangott Exploration, based in Orange, NSW is assisting with land access approvals.

Figure 9: Aeromagnetic image (TMI-1VD ENE shade) of Tuckers Hill Project showing the five gold mineralised trends.

Havilah Project (EL8936)

Havilah EL8936 is a granted Exploration Licence located 20km east of Tuckers Hill near Mudgee in NSW. The Project is located within the East Lachlan Fold Belt (LFB) close to Peak Minerals Pty Ltd's Hill End Gold Project and Silver Mines Limited's Bowdens Silver Project that has a Mineral Resource of 128Mt at 40g/t Ag, 0.38% Zn, 0.26% Pb14 (Figure 10).

The priority target at Havilah is a belt of Ordovician age volcanic rocks that form part of the Macquarie Arc that hosts the Cadia, North Parkes and Lake Cowal deposits. Historical workings at the Milfor Prospect and Cheshire Mine are hosted by Ordovician aged volcanic rocks that contain pyrite and chalcopyrite, that occur close to the northern margin of the Mt Pleasant "porphyry" intrusion - evident in magnetic imagery.

A soil sampling program is planned to cover the area between the Cheshire copper mine and the Milfor prospect (Figure 10) to generate targets for drilling. A land access agreement has been signed with the local landholder and, subject to final planning, the soil sampling program will commence shortly.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

ONTARIO COBALT PROJECTS

Golden Deeps acquired 70% of the Professor and Waldman cobalt-silver projects in December 2017. The projects are located in the historic Cobalt Mining Camp, approximately 5 kilometres and 3 kilometres (respectively) southeast of the town of Cobalt, Ontario (Figure 11). The projects exhibit similar geology to other past operating and producing cobalt and silver mines in the region.

Figure 11: Location of Professor & Waldman projects, Ontario, Canada showing historic/producing mines in region

The Professor Co-Ag Project is located in the north-eastern portion of Gillies Limit Township, approximately 5 km southeast of the town of Cobalt (Figure 16). The Professor Project consists of a contiguous landholding of 15 patent and leasehold claims for a total of 123 hectares and includes historical working known as the Professor Adit, 3 Oxford Shafts and the Cummins Pits.

The historic 280 metre-long Professor Adit, with approximately 590 metres of lateral workings. was mined on the property in the early 1960's. The adit, which is still accessible, exposed four vein systems containing disseminated to semi-massive cobalt-silver mineralisation.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Very little work and limited drilling has been completed on the project area since the mid-1960's and it is considered to be under-explored. In January 2018, rock chip sampling of calcite veins in the Professor Mine adit, carried out by Golden Deeps, returned grades of up to 0.623 g/t Au, 200 g/t Ag and 1.01% Co15. The veins also contained high levels of lead which is typical of the Cobalt area.

The Waldman Ag-Co project is located about 3 km south of Cobalt (Figure 16) and consists of a contiguous landholding of 19 Crown Claims, for a total of 188.0 hectares. The claim block includes the past producing Waldman Mine located on the eastern side of the claim block that was operated periodically from 1910 to 1930. A total of 58 tons (52.6 metric tonnes) of ore was taken from Waldman Mine, from which a total of 33,525 ounces of silver and 2,066 pounds of cobalt was produced.

Grab samples assayed in the vicinity of the Waldman Mine in 2004 returned values as high as 1,9% Co. 2.2% Ni. 1.4% Pb and 3.1% Zn17.

Exploration targets are narrow, high-grade mineralised veins (such as those historically exploited underground) and for broader zones of vein or disseminated mineralisation that may be potentially amenable to open-pit or larger-scale underground mining operations.

In light of the recent resurgence in both the cobalt and the silver price the Company is reviewing the potential of the Professor and Waldman Co-Ag projects with further exploration to be planned. Work should include compilation of previous exploration data and target generation prior to planned fieldwork.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES $\overline{2}$

(a) Basis of Preparation

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, Australian Accounting Interpretations and complies with other requirements of the law, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. The financial report has also been prepared on an accruals basis and on a historical cost basis. except for financial assets and liabilities, which have been measured at fair value.

The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.

(b) New or Amended Accounting Standards and interpretations adopted

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

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.

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)

The consolidated entity has adopted the revised Conceptual Framework from 1 July 2020. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards, but it has not had a material impact on the consolidated entity's financial statements.

(c) Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

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.

(d) Basis of consolidation

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2021. The Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June.

All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation. including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.

Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary's profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests.

The Group applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations. The consideration transferred by the Group to obtain control of a subsidiary is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group, which includes the fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

The Group recognises identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. regardless of whether they have been previously recognised in the acquiree's financial statements prior to the acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally measured at their acquisition-date fair values.

Goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable intangible assets. It is calculated as the excess of the sum of (a) fair value of consideration transferred, (b) the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquire, and (c) acquisition-date fair value of any existing equity interest in the acquiree, over the acquisition-date fair values of identifiable net assets. If the fair values of identifiable net assets exceed the sum calculated above, the excess amount (i.e. gain on a bargain purchase) is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

$(d)$ Basis of consolidation (continued)

Associates are those entities over which the Group is able to exert significant influence but which are not subsidiaries.

(e) Foreign currency translation

Both the functional and presentation currency of Golden Deeps Limited, Cerep Pty Ltd, Glendale Asset Pty Ltd, Jewell Corporation Pty Ltd, Extract Minerals Pty Ltd and Tuckers Gold Pty Ltd is the Australian dollar (A\$), and the functional and presentation currency for Huab Energy (Pty) Ltd and Oshivela Mining (Pty) Ltd is the Namibian Dollar (N\$).

Cash remittances from the parent entity to the Namibian subsidiaries are sent in Australian Dollars. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of any overseas subsidiaries were translated into the presentation currency of Golden Deeps Limited at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date and the statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Incomes are translated at the average exchange rates for the period.

The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to Other Comprehensive Income.

On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in Other Comprehensive Income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the statement of Profit or Loss.

(f) Recoverable amount of assets

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

(g) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.

(h) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

(i) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(i) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

(k) Share-based payment transactions

(i) Equity settled transactions:

The Group provides benefits to Directors, management personnel and consultants in the form of share-based payments whereby personnel render services in exchange for options to purchase shares.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions was measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date on which they were granted. The fair value was determined using the Black Scholes formula.

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Golden Deeps Limited (market conditions). The cost of equity-settled transactions was recognised, together with the corresponding increase in equity, on the date of grant of the options. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

(I) Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

(i) Interest

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (confinued)

(m) 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.

Golden Deeps Limited (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.

(n) Other taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
  • receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(o) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

(p) Contributed equity

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.

(q) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit/(loss) attributable to members of the parent, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit/(loss) attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:

  • the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
  • * other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

(r) Comparatives

Certain comparatives have been reclassified where necessary to be consistent with the current vear's disclosures.

(s) Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and noncurrent classification.

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 noncurrent.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

(t) 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.

(u) Joint ventures

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the joint venture is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in joint ventures are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the consolidated entity's share of net assets of the joint venture. Goodwill relating to the joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Income earned from joint venture entities reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

(v) Joint operations

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The consolidated entity has recognised its share of jointly held assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations. These have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate classifications.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (confinued)

(w) 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 consolidated entity 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, it's carrying value is written off.

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.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the consolidated entity intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition.

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 consolidated entity'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.

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in profit or loss.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (confinued)

(x) 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.

The component of the convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position, net of transaction costs.

On the issue of the convertible notes the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond and this amount is carried as a non-current liability on the amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The increase in the liability due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in shareholders equity as a convertible note reserve, net of transaction costs. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in the subsequent years. The corresponding interest on convertible notes is expensed to profit or loss.

(y) Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

(z) 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

3. Significant Accounting Judgments, 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.

Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management in the preparation of these financial statements are outlined below:

  • Significant accounting judgments include: $(i)$
  • (a) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

The Group determines whether exploration and evaluation expenditure is impaired on at least an annual basis based on historical information and best available current information. This requires an estimation of the various technical factors of future costs which may be incurred in rehabilitating exploration sites.

(b) Share Based Payments

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

(d) 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 products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Group operates. 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 Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

(b) Credit Risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets, net of any provision for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and notes to the financial report.

The consolidated entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by the consolidated entity.

16. Financial Instruments (continued)

(c) Net Fair Values

The carrving amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements represent their respective net fair values determined in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements.

Financial Risk Management $(d)$

The Group's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with recognised banks, accounts receivable and accounts payable. Liquidity is managed, when sufficient funds are available, by holding sufficient funds in a current account to service current obligations and surplus funds invested in bank higher interest bank accounts. The Directors analyse interest rate exposure and evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts. The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are the depository banking institution itself, holding the funds, and interest rates. The Group has no exposure to foreign currency risks. The Group's credit risk is minimal, as being an exploration company, no goods are sold, or services provided, for which consideration is claimed. Risk management on the Group's investments is achieved by maintaining a close watch on market conditions as they apply to the investee companies.

Liquidity Risk $(e)$

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 manages the risk through the following mechanisms:

  • preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities:
  • maintaining a reputable credit profile;
  • managing credit risk related to financial assets:
  • only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets.

The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.

Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management's expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates.

$(1)$ Sensitivity Analysis

Interest Rate Risk, Foreian Currency Risk and Price Risk

The group has performed sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk at reporting date. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

At 30 June 2021, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate. with all other variables remaining constant would be minimal:

Consolidated
2021
\$000
2020
\$000
Change in profit
Increase in interest rate by 2%
36 11
Decrease in interest rate by 2% (36) (11)
Change in Equity
Increase in interest rate by 2% 36 11
Decrease in interest rate by 2% (36)

Foreign Currency Risk Sensitivity Analysis

There is minimal foreign currency risk as insignificant balances of foreign currency are held.

Price risk

Price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices largely due to demand and supply factors for commodities.

The Group is also exposed to securities price risk on investments held for trading or for medium to longer terms. Such risk is managed through diversification of investments across industries and geographical locations.

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.

Key Audit Matter

How we addressed the Key Audit Matter

Consideration of impairment of capitalised mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure

The carrying amount of capitalised mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure was a significant component of the Group's total assets at \$4,259,145 at 30 June 2021.

Judgement was required by the Group to assess whether there were indicators of impairment of the capitalised exploration and evaluation assets due to the need to make estimates about future events and circumstances, such as whether the mineral resources may be economically viable to mine in the future.

This was a key audit matter because of the size of the balance and the risk of impairment should the Group dispose of or relinquish certain exploration or mining licences as it continues to assess future viability.

We performed the following procedures, amongst others:

  • Evaluated the Group's assessment that there had been no indicators of impairment for its capitalised exploration and evaluation assets, including inquiries with management and the directors to develop an understanding of the current status and future intentions for the Group's projects.
  • For a sample of licences, tested whether the Group retained right of tenure for its exploration licence areas by obtaining licence status records maintained by the relevant government authorities in Namibia and Australia.
  • Considered the consistency of information provided with external reports prepared in relation to exploration licence areas that could suggest that the carrying value is unlikely to be recovered through development or sale and management's assessment of the future likely prospectivity of material licence areas.
  • Considered the consistency of information provided with other available information. such as ASX releases made by the Company about the results of the exploration drilling programs and other project development activities.
  • Obtained plans for future expenditure and where applicable compared these to contractual minimum licence expenditure requirements.
  • Reviewing the appropriateness of the related financial statement disclosures.

Information Other than the Financial Report and the Audit's Report Thereon

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's 2021 Annual Report for the period ended 30 June 2021 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 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 upon the work we have performed, we conclude that there is material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

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 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 the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have 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 Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material mis-statement when it exists. Mis-statements 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 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 ٠ 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 the directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained whether a material uncertainty exists related to events and 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. 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 statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the group financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for the audit opinion.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may be reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
