DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Remuneration report (continued)
������������ ���������
In accordance with best practice Corporate Governance, the structure of Non-Executive Director and Executive remuneration is separate and distinct.
������������� �������� ������������
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.
The ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The latest determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 31 August 2010 when shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of up to �250,000 per year.
The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst Directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers advice from external shareholders as well as the fees paid to Non-Executive Directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.
Each Director (other than an Alternate Director) is entitle to receive a fee for being a Director of the Company, however the Company’s Chairman, Mr Tommy Cheng, has waived his entitlement to receive a Directors fee.
The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the year ended 31 March 2017 is detailed in the Remuneration of Directors and named Executives in Table 1 of this report.
������ ������� ��� ��������� �������� ������������
Remuneration consists of fixed remuneration and Company options (as determined from time to time). In addition to the Company employees and Directors, the Company engages key consultants on a contractual basis. These contracts stipulate the remuneration to be paid to the consultants.
����� ������������
Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the full Board (assuming the role of the Remuneration Committee and in accordance with the Remuneration Committee charter). The process consists of a review of relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. The Committee has access to external, independent advice where necessary.
Fixed remuneration is paid in the form of cash payments.
The fixed remuneration component of Key Management Personnel is detailed in Table 1.
�������� ������������
Executives (including Executive Directors) are eligible to participate in the Company’s Short Term Incentive (bonus) schemes, as well as Long Term Incentives arrangements in the form of the grant of share options or participation in the Company Employee Share Scheme (“ESS”). During the year ended 31 March 2016, 77,000,000 options exercisable at 1.5 cent per share on or before 31 August 2018 were granted to Directors and Executives pursuant to Shareholder approval granted at the Company’s AGM on 28 August 2015. During the year ended 31 March 2017, 90,000,000 options exercisable at 1.5 cent per share on or before 31 August 2019 were granter to Directors and Executives pursuant to Shareholder approval granted at the Company’s AGM on 30 August 2016. 70,000,000 of which were issued to key management personnel. The fair value of options granted was �0.005 per option. The options were subject to vesting criteria (refer Note 16 of the financial report). As of the date of this report it was considered unlikely that the vesting criteria would be met, and, as such, no expense has been recognised.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2017
NOTE 1� STATEMENT OF SI�NIFICANT ACCO�NTIN� POLICIES
(a) �asis of preparation
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations �ct 2001, �ccounting �tandards and Interpretations and comply with other requirements of the law.
The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (the �roup). For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity.
The financial statements have also been prepared on a historical cost basis. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The financial statements are presented in �ustralian dollars.
The Company is a listed public company, domiciled in �ustralia and operating in �ustralia (with subsidiaries operating internationally). The principal activity of the �roup is the exploration for natural resources.
Going Concern
For the year ended 31 �arch 2017 the �roup recorded a net loss of �1,728,207 and a net operating cash outflow of �1,329,161.
Notwithstanding the above, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business and on the assumption of sufficient funds continuing to be available for the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The �oard considers that the Company is a going concern and recognises that additional funding is required to ensure that the Company can continue to fund the consolidated entity�s operations and further develop its pro�ects during the twelve month period from the date of this financial report. The �irectors expect that the Company will be able to continue to raise the funds required to meets its obligations as and when they fall due, noting the ongoing support of its largest shareholder, the ����P group in assisting the Company in accessing new investors and also in directly providing bridging finance.
In the event that the Company is unsuccessful in deriving sufficient additional funding for its operations there would exist a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the �roup�s ability to continue as a going concern and realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
(�) Adoption of new and revised standards
Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards
In the year ended 31 �arch 2017, the �irectors have reviewed all of the new and revised �tandards and Interpretations issued by the ���� that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.
It has been determined by the �irectors that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised �tandards and Interpretations on the �roup�s business and, therefore, no change is necessary to �roup accounting policies.
The �irectors have also reviewed all new �tandards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 31 �arch 2017. �s a result of this review the �irectors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised �tandards and Interpretations on the �roup�s business and, therefore, no change necessary to �roup accounting policies.
(c) Statement of compliance
The financial statements were authorised for issue on 30 �une 2017.
The financial statements comply with �ustralian �ccounting �tandards, which include �ustralian equivalents to International Financial �eporting �tandards (�IF��). Compliance with �IF�� ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial �eporting �tandards (IF��).
(d) �asis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Triple �nergy �td (�the Company�) as at 31 �arch 2017 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Triple �nergy �td and its subsidiaries are referred to in this financial report as the group or the consolidated entity
TRIPLE ENERGY LIMITED
TRIPLE ENERGY LIMITED
20
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2017
(d) �asis of consolidation (continued)
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full.
�ubsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the �roup and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the �roup. Control exists where the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing when the �roup controls another entity.
�nrealised gains or transactions between the �roup and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the �roup�s interests in the associates. �nrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. �ccounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the �roup.
Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets in subsidiaries not held by the �roup and are presented separately in the statement of comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position. �osses are attributed to the non-controlling interests even if that results in a deficit balance.
The �roup treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the �roup. � change in ownership interest results in an ad�ustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. �ny difference between the amount of the ad�ustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised within equity attributable to owners of the Company.
�hen the �roup loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. �hen assets of the subsidiary are carried at revalued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the �roup had directly disposed of the relevant assets (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings as specified by applicable �tandards). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under ���� 139 �Financial Instruments� �ecognition and �easurement� or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or �ointly controlled entity.
(e) Critical accounting �udgements and �ey sources of estimation uncertainty
The application of accounting policies requires the use of �udgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. �ctual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. �evisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Share-based payment transactions:
The �roup 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 using a �lac� and �choles model. The �roup measures the cost of share-based payments at fair value at the grant date using the �lac� and �choles formula ta�ing into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted, as discussed in Note 16.
Valuation of Performance Shares:
�uring the prior year the �roup issued 595.3 million drilling performance shares to the ��P group in consideration for the procurement of drilling services. The accounting value of the Performance �hares was determined using the mar�et value of the Company�s shares as at the date of issue of the performance shares and with an assessment carried out at balance date as to the value of the drilling services performed and thereby the number of performance shares deemed li�ely to have vested at that date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2017
(f) Revenue Recognition
�evenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the �roup and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised�
�i� �nterest income
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that ta�es into account the effective yield on the financial asset.
(g) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash at ban� and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to �nown amounts of cash and which are sub�ect to an insignificant ris� of changes in value.
(h) Trade and other receiva�les
Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within periods ranging from 15 days to 30 days.
Impairment of trade receivables is continually reviewed and those that are considered to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. �n allowance account is used when there is ob�ective evidence that the �roup will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms. Factors considered by the �roup in ma�ing this determination include �nown significant financial difficulties of the debtor, review of financial information and significant delinquency in ma�ing contractual payments to the �roup.
The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within other expenses. �hen a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. �ubsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.
(i) Property� plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. �uch cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. �imilarly, when each ma�or inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation.
�and and buildings are measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation on buildings and less any impairment losses recognised after the date of the revaluation.
�epreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows�
- �easehold Improvements – lease term
Plant and equipment – over 5 to 15 years
The assets� residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and ad�usted if appropriate, at each financial year end.
�i� �mpairment
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each balance date, with recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current mar�et assessments of the time value of money and the ris�s specific to the asset.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset�s value in use can be estimated to approximate fair value.
�n impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating units exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount.
For plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the cost of sales line item.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2017
(i) Property� plant and equipment (continued)
�iii� �ereco�nition and disposal
�n item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
�ny gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
(�) Derecognition of financial assets and financial lia�ilities
�i� �inancial assets
� financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a �roup of similar financial assets) is derecognised when�
-
the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired�
-
the �roup retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a �pass-through� arrangement� or
-
the �roup has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either�
-
(a) has transferred substantially all the ris�s and rewards of the asset, or
-
(b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the ris�s and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
�hen continuing involvement ta�es the form of a written and/or purchased option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on the transferred asset, the extent of the �roup�s continuing involvement is the amount of the transferred asset that the �roup may repurchase, except that in the case of a written put option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on an asset measured at fair value, the extent of the �roup�s continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price.
�ii� �inancial liabilities
� financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
�hen an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
(�) Foreign currency translation
The functional and presentation currency of Triple �nergy �imited is �ustralian dollars. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. �onetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance 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.
(l)
Income ta�
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date.
�eferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
-
�eferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except�
-
when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of 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 profit nor taxable profit or loss� or
WWW.TRIPLEENERGY.NET
2017 ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2017
(l) Income ta� (continued)
- when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in �oint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
�eferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except�
-
when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss�
-
or
-
when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in �oint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
�nrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
�eferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.
�eferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
(m) Other ta�es
-
�evenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of ��T except�
-
when the ��T incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the ��T 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 ��T included.
-
The net amount of ��T 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 �tatement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the ��T 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 ��T recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(n) Impairment of assets
The �roup assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the �roup ma�es an estimate of the asset�s recoverable amount. �n asset�s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset�s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cashgenerating unit to which it belongs. �hen the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2017
(n)
Impairment of assets (continued)
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 mar�et assessments of the time value of money and the ris�s specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).
�n assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. � previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset�s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. �uch reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. �fter such a reversal the depreciation charge is ad�usted in future periods to allocate the asset�s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
(o) Trade and other paya�les
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the �roup prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the �roup becomes obliged to ma�e future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
(p) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the �roup 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.
�hen the �roup 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 discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the ris�s specific to the liability.
�hen discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.
(q) Share��ased payment transactions
The �roup provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the �roup in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is ta�en of any performance conditions, other than conditions lin�ed to the price of the shares of Triple �nergy �imited (mar�et conditions) if applicable.
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the �roup�s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No ad�ustment is made for the li�elihood of mar�et performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The income or expense for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a mar�et condition.
If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.
If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. �owever, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

(r) Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(s)
Earnings per share
�asic earnings per share is calculated as net profit / loss attributable to members of the parent, ad�usted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, ad�usted for any bonus element.
-
�iluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit / loss attributable to members of the parent, ad�usted 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, ad�usted for any bonus element.
(t)
E�ploration and evaluation
-
�xploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied�
-
(i) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current� and
-
(ii) at least one of the following conditions is also met�
-
(a) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale� or
-
(b) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
�xploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortised of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. �eneral and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.
�xploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). �here an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.
�here a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development.
(u) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision ma�er. The chief operating decision ma�er, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the �oard of �irectors of Triple �nergy �imited.

�i� �rillin� Performance Shares

�uring the year to 31 �arch 2016, the Company issued 595.3 million drilling performance shares to ��P as part of the �hareholder-approved ��P Transaction. �nder the terms of the ��P Transaction, the �olong �oint �enture (80� profit interest to TNP), entered into a drilling contract with �ei�ing �iu�un �nergy Technology Co �td ( �iu�un Energy ) for the drilling and technical services for the two wells in the �egang area of �eilong�iang Province in China.
Full responsibility for payment for the �iu�un �nergy drilling services was assumed by ��P in consideration for the drilling performance shares issued to them by Triple. The terms of these performance shares allow for their conversion to ordinary shares on a 1�1 basis upon satisfactory completion of the specified drilling services by an agreed milestone date.
�s at 31 �ecember 2015 (the originally scheduled milestone completion date) the 2 wells had been drilled and cored as announced by the Company to ��� previously, however certain other specified components of the drilling services were not able to be met through no fault of Triple or ��P. The independent �irectors of Triple (being, in this instance the �irectors not nominated by or associated with ��P) resolved to ta�e such remedial action as may be necessary to enable the commercial substance and practical intent of the drilling services arrangements with ��P to be honoured. � general meeting of the Company was convened and held on 28 �une 2016 to enable the drilling performance shares to be reissued on revised terms. �hareholders voted overwhelmingly in favour of reissuing the shares, which was completed immediately following the meeting. �ubsequently, the Company and ��P determined a pro-rata vesting of the reissued shares based on the value of drilling services performed up to that date and 318 million new fully paid ordinary shares were issued to ��P, while the balance of 277 million of the reissued drilling performance shares were agreed to have lapsed automatically in accordance with their terms.
The drilling performance shares were valued based on the mar�et price at the time of their original issue (being 24 �pril 2015) and sub�ect to an assessment as at balance date of the number of performance shares li�ely to have vested as at that date.

NOTE 1�: SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
At 31 March 2017, the Group has the following share-based payment arrangements affecting remuneration in the current or prior year.
Share Options granted to Directors and Consultants
During the year ended 31 March 2017, 90,000,000 options exercisable at 1.5 cent per share on or before 31 August 2019 were grantor to Directors and Executives pursuant to Shareholder approval granted at the Company’s AGM on 30 August 2016. 70,000,000 of which were issued to key management personnel. The fair value of options granted was $0.005 per option.
Option will vest upon satisfaction of both of the following conditions ( Vesting Conditions ):
(i) The Company, with the assistance of the holder, having executed binding documentation for the acquisition of a material new energy project consistent with the Company’s strategy and on terms acceptable to the Board on or before 31 August 2017� and
(ii) The Company, with the assistance of the holder, having raised not less than A$3,000,000 in new equity at a share price of not less than 1.5 cents per share, on or before 31 August 2017.
As of the date of this report it was considered unlikely that the vesting criteria would be met, and, as such, no value has been attributed to these options.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2017
NOTE 1�: SHARE BASED PAYMENTS (continued)
The fair value of the equity-settled share options granted under both the option and the loan plans is estimated as at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted.
| granted. | |
|---|---|
| 90,000,000 options | |
| Dividend yield (%) | 0.00% |
| Expected volatility (%) | 75% |
| �isk-free interest rate (%) | 1.�16% |
| Expected life of option (years) | 3 years |
| Exercise price (cents) | $0.015 |
| Grant date share price | $0.012 |
The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. �o other features of options granted were incorporated into the measurement of fair value.
Triple Energy Ltd Employee Share Plan
The Triple Energy Ltd Employee Share �lan was approved by shareholders at the General Meeting of 19 December 2012. �articipation of the plan is at the Board’s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits.
There was nothing granted under the Employee Share �lan in either the current or prior year.
NOTE 17: FINANCIAL RIS� MANAGEMENT OB�ECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:
-
Credit risk
-
Interest rate risk
-
• Liquidity risk • Market risk
This note presents the information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.
The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below.
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short term deposits. The main purpose of the financial instruments is to earn the maximum amount of interest at a low risk to the Group. The Group also has other financial instruments such as trade debtors and creditors which arise directly from its operations. For the year ended 31 March 2017, it has been the Group’s policy not to trade in financial instruments.
(a) Credit ris� management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter-party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group only transacts with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade and above. This information is supplied by independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the Group uses publicly available financial information and its own trading record to rate its major customers. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the risk management committee annually.
TRIPLE ENERGY LIMITED
TRIPLE ENERGY LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2017
NOTE 17: FINANCIAL RIS� MANAGEMENT OB�ECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued)
The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowance for losses, represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained.
(b) Li�uidity ris� management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, who have built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The Group did not have any undrawn facilities at its disposal as at balance date.
(c) Interest rate ris� management
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as the Group deposits the bulk of the Group’s cash reserves in Term Deposits. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between short term and medium-term Deposits. The Group’s exposures to interest rate on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.
(d) Mar�et ris�
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or value of the holdings of financial instruments. The Group is exposed to movements in 42market interest rates on short term deposit, and foreign currency movements on the trade receivables. The policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to 120 days to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. The Group does not have short or long term debt, and therefore this risk is minimal. The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by only investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have acceptable credit ratings.
NOTE 1�: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees
Triple Energy Limited had in place a deposit-banked bank guarantee for an amount of $15,308 (2016: $15,308).

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the members of Triple Energy Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Triple Energy Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2017, the consolidated statement of 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 statements, 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:
-
a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 March 2017 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
-
b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
46
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 auditor independence requirements of 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty regarding going concern
We draw attention to Note 1(a) in the financial report, which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
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. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report .
WWW.TRIPLEENERGY.NET
2017 ANNUAL REPORT
47
==> picture [173 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
Carrying amount of exploration and How our audit addressed the key audit matter evaluation asset
In accordance with AASB � E�ploration for and E�aluation of Mineral Resources , the Group fully capitalises expenditure incurred as an exploration and evaluation asset. The cost model is applied after recognition.
Our audit focussed on the Group’s assessment of the carrying amount of the capitalised exploration and evaluation asset, because this is one of the significant assets of the Group. There is a risk that the capitalised expenditure no longer meets the recognition criteria of the standard. In addition, we considered it necessary to assess whether facts and circumstances existed to suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount.
The group has one area of interest at balance date, the Aolong �� Project, located in the People’s �epublic of China.
-
Our procedures included but were not limited to:
-
We obtained an understanding of the key processes associated with management’s review of the exploration and evaluation asset carrying values;
-
We considered the �irector’s assessment of potential indicators of impairment;
-
We obtained evidence that the Group has current rights to tenure of its area of interest;
-
We examined the exploration budget for 2017 and discussed with management the nature of planned ongoing activities;
-
We enquired with management, reviewed AS� announcements and minutes of �irectors’ meetings to ensure that the Group had not decided to discontinue exploration and evaluation at its area of interest: and
-
We examined the disclosures made in the financial report.
�nformation other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2017, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
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 have no realistic alternative but to do so.
TRIPLE ENERGY LIMITED
TRIPLE ENERGY LIMITED
==> picture [182 x 57] intentionally omitted <==
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. �easonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by 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 or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. �owever, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
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 reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
�rom the matters communicated with 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 not 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.

The Board has adopted a policy in relation to workplace diversity that recognises the benefits arising from employee and Board diversity, including a broader pool of high quality employees, improving employee retention, accessing different perspectives and ideas and benefiting from all available talent. Diversity includes, but is not limited to, gender, age, ethnicity and cultural background. Terms of the policy are available on the Company’s website www.tripleenergy.net. The Board has not yet established and reported against measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity as per ASX Best Practice Recommendation 1.5. Rather than establishing measurable objectives with regard to diversity, the Company is committed to employment of the highest quality of staff regardless of gender, age, ethnicity or cultural background. The Group currently employs 1.5 full time equivalent women, approximately 15% of total staff levels. There are currently no women occupying key management personnel or Board positions. |
The Board Charter and Performance Evaluation policy details the process of evaluating the Board, its Committee and individual directors on an annual basis as appropriate. The Performance Evaluation policy is available within the Corporate Governance Plan on the Company’s website. Due to the timing of changes to the Board and the Company’s operations, it was not deemed necessary to undertake a performance evaluation in the reporting period. |
The Board has a policy of evaluating the performance of its senior executives on an annual basis or as appropriate at the discretion of the Board. Arrangements for monitoring the performance of executives include a review of the Company’s financial performance and achievement against non-financial milestones; and appraisal meetings or discussions incorporating analysis of performance with each individual. A formal performance review was conducted for some, but not all executives during the reporting period, having regard to organisational changes. It is expected that further reviews will take place in 2017/2018 reporting period. |

The Board has established an Audit Committee and adopted a charter that sets out the Audit Committee's purpose, composition, duties and responsibilities. The role of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in monitoring and reviewing any matters of significance affecting financial reporting and compliance. A copy of the charter of the Audit Committee is available in the governance section of the Company's website. The Company's Audit Committee for the period ended 31 March 2017 comprised the full board with Mr Garry Ralston as chair. Separate meetings of the Audit Committee did not take place during the year, with relevant business instead being considered by the Board, having reference to the appropriate charter. The composition of the Audit Committee during the reporting period did not meet the requirements of Recommendation 4.1, as the composition of the Board did not allow for it. The qualifications, experience and attendance of the members of the Audit Committee are detailed in the Directors’ Report of the 2017 Annual Report. |
The Company has complied in part with the recommendation. The appropriate declarations are made prior to approval of full and half- year accounts, however the Company had not yet implemented the process for all quarterly cash flow statements within the reporting period, with the Board considering that provision of the assurance for the half-yearly and annual financial statements is sufficient given the size and nature of the Company’s operations. |
The Audit and Risk Committee Charter deals with the requirement to ensure that the external auditor attends the Company’s AGM and is available to answer questions from the security holders. A representative of the Company’s auditor was present at its 2016 AGM and was available to answer questions from shareholders relevant to the audit and financial statements. |
