Overview
During the year the Company ceased conducting research and development activities dedicated to creating leading edge lithium-ion battery technology. The Company entered into agreements to acquire the share capital of two exploration companies and the acquisitions were completed post-year end. During the year the Company was mainly engaged in the completion of these transactions, raising capital via a public offer and re-complying with the ASX Listing Rules.
Business performance
During the year the Company announced that Blitz Motors had ceased all testing on the Company’s batteries due to technical issues. Consequently, the Company ceased its operations in researching and developing lithium-ion batteries. Losses from discontinued operations amounted to $202,518 (2019: $5,104,313), before a write back of foreign exchange gains of $411,123.

These signalled the Company’s diversification into resource exploration and evaluation. Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the Company raised A$5M in capital to explore and evaluate the projects acquired with a new Board of Directors and management.
Corporate
The Company issued 50 million ordinary shares during the year, raising $100,770 (A$150,000), of which $67,180 (A$100,000) was received in the last financial year. The Company changed its management team and Board of Directors as it moved away from lithium-ion battery research and development, transitioning to resource exploration and evaluation in Western Australia. This was completed with the raising of A$5 million before costs post year end in July 2020 and the re-compliance with ASX Listing Rules following the completion of the acquisitions of Watershed and Mt Marshall. In addition, the Company changed its name from Ultracharge Limited to Suvo Strategic Mineral Limited

Review of operations
COVID‐19 Pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID‐19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes in this report, 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 consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID‐19) pandemic.
Business performance
During the year the Company announced that Blitz Motors had ceased all testing on the Company’s batteries due to technical issues. Consequently, the Company ceased its operations in researching and developing lithium‐ion batteries. Gain from discontinued operations amounted to $208,605 (2019: Loss of $5,104,313), before a write back of foreign exchange gains of $411,123.
The Company restructured its management and entered into an agreement to acquire the share capital of Watershed Enterprise Solutions Pty Ltd (“Watershed”), holder of exploration licence E70/5001, and the share capital of Mt Marshall Kaolin Pty Ltd (“Mt Marshall”), holder of exploration licence E70/5039. These signalled the Company’s diversification into resource exploration and evaluation. Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the Company raised A$5M in capital to explore and evaluate the projects acquired with a new Board of Directors and management.
Corporate
The Company issued 50 million ordinary shares during the year, raising $100,770 (A$150,000), of which $67,180 (A$100,000) was received in the last financial year. The Company changed its management team and Board of Directors as it moved away from lithium‐ion battery research and development, transitioning to resource exploration and evaluation in Western Australia. This was completed with the raising of approximately A$5M post year end in July 2020 and the re‐compliance with ASX Listing Rules following the completion of the acquisitions of Watershed and Mt Marshall. The Company also changed its name from Ultracharge Limited to Suvo Strategic Minerals Limited.
Risk management
The Directors identify and manage risk and consider the business of exploration and evaluation, and previously research and development, by their nature, contain elements of risk, with no guarantee of success. The success of exploration and evaluation activities is, amongst other things, dependent upon the discovery of economically viable mineral deposits that are capable of being mined, process and sold. In turn, this will be dependant upon:
-
Access to adequate capital;
-
Regulatory approval of mining and processing operations;
-
Securing buyers of end products; and
-
Access to appropriately qualified and experienced management, contractors and other personnel.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
Significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company during the financial year are detailed under Review of Operations.
The Company ceased research and development activities associated with lithium‐ion batteries and entered into

The Company’s re‐listing was gained as a results of a A$5M capital raising via a public offer and the completion of the acquisitions of Mt Marshall and Watershed.
Under the public offer the Company issued 250,000,000 ordinary shares at A$0.02 each, raising A$5 million before costs.

Audited Remuneration Report
Audited Remuneration Re ort p
The Remuneration Report sets out information relating to the remuneration of the Company’s key management personnel.
Other than the short‐term and long‐term performance incentives, remuneration is not linked to the performance of the Company.
The Remuneration Report is set out under the following main headings:
-
A. Remuneration policies
-
B. Details of Directors and Company Executives (Key Management Personnel)
-
C. Options and rights over equity instruments granted as compensation
All remuneration is presented in Australian dollars (unless otherwise stated).
A. Remuneration policies
The Board has adopted a framework for corporate governance, including policies dealing with Board and Executive remuneration. Policies adopted by the Board reflect the relative stage of development of the Company, having regard for the size and structure of the organisation.
Remuneration levels are competitively set to attract and retain appropriately qualified and experienced Directors and Senior Executives. The remuneration packages of Executive Directors provide for a fixed level of remuneration. Other than as noted below Executive remuneration packages do not have guaranteed equity based components or performance based components.
Fixed remuneration
Fixed remuneration consists of base remuneration (salary or consulting fees) including any FBT charges as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds, where applicable.
Remuneration levels are reviewed annually by the Board of Directors.
Performance linked remuneration
Long‐term incentives can be provided as ordinary shares and options over ordinary shares of the Company. As determined, shareholders in general meeting will be asked to approve specific grants of shares and options to Non‐ Executive and Executive Directors as a form of remuneration.
Assessing performance and claw‐back of remuneration
The Board is responsible for assessing performance against KPIs and determining the STI and LTI to be paid. To assist in this assessment, the Board receives detailed reports on performance from management which are based on independently verifiably data such as financial measures, market share and data from independently run surveys.
In the event of serious misconduct or a material misstatement in the Group’s financial statements, the Board can cancel or defer performance‐based remuneration and may also claw back performance‐based remuneration paid in previous financial years.
Consequences of performance on shareholders wealth
In view of the relatively early stage of development of the Company's business, current remuneration policies are not directly linked to company performance.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020
Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
The financial report covers the consolidated entity of Suvo Strategic Minerals Limited (formerly Ultracharge Limited) (“the legal Parent”) and its subsidiary (“the Group”). Suvo Strategic Minerals Limited (ASX: SUV) is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
Reporting basis and conventions
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The Company is a for‐profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
In the year ended 30 June 2020, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effective for the current annual reporting period. Those which have a material impact on the Group are set out below.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs.
All amounts presented are in US dollars. The Group’s functional currency was historically US dollars. All assets at 30 June 2020 are held in Australia and in subsequent reports performance will be reported in Australian dollars.
The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 31 August 2020.
Basis of Preparation
Accounting policies
- a. Adoption of new and revised accounting standards
A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period and the Group had to change its accounting policies as a result of the adoption of the following standards:
AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 replaces AASB 117 Leases . AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating leases of finance leases‐for the lessee – effectively treating all leases as finance leases.
The Company has no leases that are impacted by the adoption of AASB 16 and therefore there is no impact on the financial report.
Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
This Interpretation clarifies how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements in AASB 112 when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. In such a circumstance, an entity shall recognise and measure its current or deferred tax asset or liability applying the requirements in AASB 112 based on taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates determined applying this Interpretation.
There are no income tax matters of an uncertain nature that impact the financial statements of the Company.

- a. Adoption of new and revised accounting standards
AASB 2019‐1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards:
Annual Improvements 2015‐2018 Cycle [AASB 3, AASB 11, AASB 112 & AASB 123]
The following improvements were finalised in December 2018:
-
AASB 3 ‐ clarified that obtaining control of a business that is a joint operation is a business combination achieved in stages.
-
AASB 11 ‐ clarified that the party obtaining joint control of a business that is a joint operation should not remeasure its previously held interest in the joint operation.
-
AASB 112 ‐ clarified that the income tax consequences of dividends on financial instruments classified as equity should be recognised according to where the past transactions or events that generated distributable profits were recognised.
-
AASB 123 ‐ clarified that if a specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related qualifying asset is ready for its intended use or sale, it becomes part of general borrowings.
The amendments to these Accounting Standards have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted
The Directors have also reviewed all Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted for the year ended 30 June 2020. Those which may have a material impact on the Group are set out below.
b. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2020. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
-
Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
-
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
-
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
-
The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
-
Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
-
The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.
The Group re‐assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non‐controlling interests, even if this results in the non‐controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra‐group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Suvo Strategic Minerals Limited ABN 97 140 316 463
Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
A change in ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
-
De‐recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary
-
De‐recognises the carrying amount of any non‐controlling interests
-
De‐recognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity
-
Recognises the fair value of the consideration received
-
Recognises the fair value of any investments retained
-
Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit and loss
Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
c. Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Interest income is brought to account on an accruals basis using the effective interest rate method and, if not received at the end of the reporting period, is reflected in the statement of financial position as a receivable
- d. Foreign Currency Translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The functional and presentation currency of Suvo Strategic Minerals Limited is United States dollars.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year‐end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Group entities
The results and financial position of all the Company entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;
-
income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and
-
all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities are taken to foreign currency translation reserve.
When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange differences are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.

f.
Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
- e. Income tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized where the timing of the reversal of temporary differences can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set‐off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set‐off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
Other taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
-
when 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, which 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.

- g. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include deposits held at call with banks with original maturities of three months or less.
- h. Financial Instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
(i) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non‐derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other loans and receivables are classified as non‐current assets.)
(ii) 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.
(iii) Financial liabilities
Non‐derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in the Statement of profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.
Derivative instruments
The Group does not trade or hold derivatives.
Financial guarantees
The Group has no material financial guarantees.
Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset has been impaired. An impairment exists if one or more events that has occurred since the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtor or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

Suvo Strategic Minerals Limited ABN 97 140 316 463
Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flow expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset.
Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non‐cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
i. Impairment of non‐financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash‐generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
j.
Intangible Assets
Separately acquired intangible assets are measured on initial recognition at cost including directly attributable costs. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured on initial recognition at fair value at the acquisition date.
Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized over their useful life and reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset are reviewed at least at each year end.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not systematically amortized and are tested for impairment annually or whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The useful life of these assets is reviewed annually to determine whether their indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If the events and circumstances do not continue to support the assessment, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate and on that date the asset is tested for impairment. As of 30 June 2020, the Group has recorded intangible assets amounting to $Nil.

- k. Property, plant and equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is measured on the cost basis.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a reducing balance basis over their useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets for 2020 and 2019 are:
| Class of Fixed Asset | Depreciation Rate |
|---|---|
| Plant and equipment 5‐10% |
The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
l.
Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.
Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown as a deduction from the equity proceeds, net of any income tax benefit.
m.
Share based payments
Share‐based payments
Employees (including senior executives) of the Group received remuneration in the form of share‐based payments, whereby employees receive equity instruments as consideration for services rendered (equity‐ settled transactions).
Equity‐settled transactions
The cost of equity‐settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model. That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in
other capital reserves in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognised for equity‐settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
The statement of profit or loss expense or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognised in employee benefits expense.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for equity‐settled transactions for which vesting is conditional upon a market or non‐vesting condition. These are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market or non‐vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

n. Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the consolidated entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co‐ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
o. Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The Directors make estimates and judgments in preparing the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
Key estimates:
Impairment
In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash‐generating unit based on the fair value less cost of disposal. The company reviews intangible assets for impairment once a year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is impairment. An impairment loss is recognised if the recoverable amount of the cash‐generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is lower than the carrying value of the cash generating unit.
The Directors make estimates and judgments in preparing the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
Share based payments
Share‐based payments are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The fair value of options is determined using the Black‐Scholes pricing model. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
n. Critical accounting estimates and judgments (continued)
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
Deferred tax assets have not been recognised because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can utilise the benefits therefrom.
Judgements:
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made a number of judgements. However, other than in the application of estimates noted above, no judgements are critical to the carryting value of any assets or liabilities at 30 June 2020 or the results for the year.
p. Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of Suvo Strategic Minerals Limited.

- q. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to members of Suvo Strategic Minerals Limited, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Earnings used to calculate diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the basic earnings by the after‐ tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares. The weighted average number of shares used is adjusted for the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

Note 19: Financial instruments
Financial risk management
The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, investments and accounts payable.
The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments is interest rate risk and credit risk.
a) Interest rate risk
From time to time the Group has significant interest bearing assets, but they are as a result of the timing of equity raising and capital expenditure rather than a reliance on interest income. The interest rate risk arises on the rise and fall of interest rates. The Group’s income and operating cash flows are not expected to be materially exposed to changes in market interest rates in the future and the exposure to interest rates is limited to the cash and cash equivalents balances.
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities, is below:

b) Interest rate sensitivity
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Group’s consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables constant.
| Change in Basis Points | Effect on | Post Tax Loss |
|---|---|---|
| ($) | ||
| Increase/(Decrease) | ||
| 2020 | 2019 | |
| Increase 100 basis points | 2,040 | 14,117 |
| Decrease 100 basis points | (2,040) | (14,117) |
A sensitivity of 100 basis points has been used as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both short term and long term Australian Dollar interest rates. This would represent two to four movements by the Reserve Bank of Australia.
c) Foreign currency risk
The currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to change in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Company’s functional currency. The company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to the US Dollar (the functional currency), the New Israeli Shekel, the Australian Dollar and the Singapore Dollar.

d) Foreign currency sensitivity
The sensitivity analyses below detail the Group’s sensitivity to an increase/decrease in New Israeli Shekels and the Australian dollar against the United States dollar. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items, including external loans as well as loans to foreign operations within the Group where the denomination of the loan is in a currency other than the currency of the lender or the borrower and adjusts their translation balance date for a 100 basis point change in foreign currency rates.
At balance date, if foreign exchange rates had been 100 basis point higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s:

| Decrease 100 basis points | (577) | (14,117) |
The Group’s sensitivity to foreign exchange has reduced from the prior year
e) Credit risk
The most significant concentration of credit risk is in relation to cash and cash equivalents, with the maximum exposure being the carrying value per the consolidated statement of financial position.
The group minimises its credit risk by using financial institutions with a credit rating of AAA.
f) Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate cash reserves are maintained.
Trade and other payables are payable within 30 days.
g) Price risk
The Group is not exposed to any material commodity price risk .
h) Capital management
The Group’s policy is to maintain a strong and flexible capital base to provide investor, creditor and market confidence to sustain future development of the business. The Group monitors the statement of financial position strength and flexibility using cash flow forecast analysis and detailed budgeting processes.
There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year. Risk management policies and procedures are established with regular monitoring and reporting.
Neither the Group nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
i) Fair value
Due to the short term nature of financial assets and liabilities their carrying amounts approximate fair value.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the members of Suvo Strategic Minerals Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Suvo Strategic Minerals Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
==> picture [238 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [232 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to:
As disclosed in Note 7 to the financial report, during the year the Group discontinued its Israel technology operations by deregistering its whollyowned Israel subsidiary, Ultracharge Ltd, and subsequent to year-end this subsidiary was liquidated.
- Evaluating the client’s conclusions on the classification of the subsidiary as a discontinued operation and the results of the subsidiary as discontinued operations;
Australian Accounting Standards require the gain or loss on the discontinued operation to be determined and discontinued operations to be disclosed separately from continuing operations.
-
Verifying the company status to the Israel registrar of companies;
-
Agreeing the carrying value of assets and liabilities of the discontinued operation to financial information of the subsidiary;
Due to the allocation between continued and discontinued operations and the significance of the transaction to the Group’s financial position and performance during the year, we have identified this as a key audit matter.
-
Re-performing the calculation of the gain / loss on discontinued operations;
-
Assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures in Note 7 to the financial report.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the financial report and the 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 on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
