Chairman’s Letter

Dear Fellow Shareholder

The reporting period ended 30 June 2021 has seen another year against the backdrop of global uncertainty of the pandemic and the reinforcement of deglobalisation as a major driving force in the European Union (EU). The economic recovery of the EU’s 27 member states is now unequivocally aligned to a greener future that will be underpinned by the rapid adoption of electric vehicles.

The uptake of electric vehicles in Europe has outpaced all prior projections and automakers have moved aggressively to electrification and to develop their own European lithium-ion battery supply chains. This has focused the attention of the EU and federal governments on the need to ensure supply certainty of the critical ingredient for lithium-ion batteries – lithium chemicals, for battery production capacity that will underpin the ability to move to electrification.

Both Spain and Europe are moving forward to secure supply chains that are essential to a greener future. Unprecedented funding initiatives have been announced including the €4.3 billion PERTE application of COVID recovery and resilience funding by Prime Minister Sanchez to kick start investment in the entire lithium-ion battery value chain.

There have already been significant investment commitments from both automakers and battery makers alike in the EU for battery plants, the next phase of investment in the supply chain of which Infinity is ready to be part of. To be in the best position to do so we have made sure the Company is well capitalised and has attracted high calibre technical and corporate people.

Since becoming involved in the project and earning our current 75% we have had to adapt to several adverse changes in the permitting situation at San José. Infinity remains focused on the development of the strategically essential and world class San José Lithium Project in Spain. In order to ensure San José has the best chance and the benefits flow to the region of Extremadura and the town of Caceres accordingly, Infinity and our Spanish partners are ensuring we work closely with all stakeholders and adjust our proposals as required. We are confident that we present a project which meets the requirements of stakeholders and secures a strong future for the town of Caceres, the region, Spain and the EU as a whole.

Yours faithfully

Review of Operations

Business Activities

San José Lithium Project

Investigation Permit Valdeflórez Cancellation and Appeal

The Company announced a trading halt on 9 April 2021 and was subsequently suspended from official quotation on 13 April 2021. Infinity provided an update on 23 April 2021 which advised that it had received notification from the Junta de Extremadura (the regional government of Extremadura) (‘ Junta ’) which informed the Company of the cancellation of Investigation Permit Valdeflórez (‘ PIV ’) research permit at the San José Lithium Project (‘ San José ’, or ‘ the Project ’). The decision was unexpected and followed the resolution of the Junta which granted the Investigation Permit Ampliación Valdeflórez (‘ PIAV ’), as announced on 23 December 2020.

The Company resumed trading on 17 May 2021 following the release of a detailed ASX announcement on the decision, the Company’s legal position and avenues of recourse. The Company strongly disputes the validity of the decision to cancel the PIV application and following legal advice the Company lodged an administrative appeal of this resolution as filed by the Project Joint Venture (‘ JV ’) entity Tecnología Extremeña Del Lito S.L. (‘ TEL ’), which was subsequently rejected, as announced on 19 July 2021.

Directors’ Report (continued)

The Company considered the Junta’s resolution to cancel the PIV in direct breach of the law and in contradiction of previous rulings by the Junta on the environmental and urban legality and viability of the PIV. Furthermore, Infinity reserved all rights relating to the multiple administrative decisions and errors of the Junta including the legal status of the mining area under the Junta’s original call for tender, and the actions that facilitated the PIV reverting to application status (ASX announcement 5 June 2019). This reversion from granted status to application (which was subsequently rejected by the Junta) resulted directly from the administrative failures by the Junta. The administrative faults saw the omission by the Junta to lodge the Project restoration plan in the public exposure period, and the Junta’s fault in not providing adequate notice in the public exposure period.

The Company has assembled a high calibre and experienced legal team, led by Madrid founded and national leading legal firm Pérez-Llorca, to advise and represent TEL throughout the administrative contentious appeal process which is ongoing.

The Company’s Managing Director, Ryan Parkin, and Executive Director, Remy Welschinger, spent considerable time incountry after the original notification from the Junta, assisting with the Company’s action plan to see the PIV resolved, and to meet with key stakeholders in Spain, and to facilitate the appointment of in-country consultants to assist in these matters. For further details please refer to the ASX announcements on 17 May 2021 and 19 July 2021.

The Project area comprises the PIV and PIAV (refer to Figure 1). The Company announced the granting of the PIAV to TEL on 23 December 2020. The location of the beneficiation plant and downstream lithium chemical conversion facilities have been identified in the PIAV area, utilising feedstock from the lithium mica ore contained within PIV (refer to PFS announcement 22 August 2019). The Company received notice that the PIAV remained granted and in good standing with an appeal by an NGO rejected after the 30 June 2021 year end.

Progression of Test Work

Test work continued during the financial year with the Company’s technical partners Dorfner Anzaplan in Germany under phase one of the Project Agreement. The laboratory-scale (‘ Lab-Scale ’) feasibility level test work progressed to the crystallisation stage after successfully progressing through roast, leach and solution purification stages. Lab-Scale test work was at the kilogram scale, with major process steps highlighted per Figure 2.

Larger-scale feasibility level test work began in the Q1 2021 and progressed to provide sufficient flotation concentrate to undertake upscaled roasting test work. This program of work followed the advancement and successful Lab-Scale work.

Figure 2: Summary of process flow sheet stages and current feasibility test work progress.

Test work remained on schedule and consistent with the schedules previously advised, with first Lab-Scale production of lithium hydroxide forecast no later than the beginning of Q4 2021. The programme continued to be managed by leading German consultancy and engineering company Dorfner Anzaplan in line with project deliverables under the agreement. The Company announced the progression of test work and production of battery grade lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate subsequent to year end.

Offtake MoU signed with LG Energy Solution

In June 2021 the Company announced that it had entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (‘ MoU ’) for the long-term supply of battery grade lithium hydroxide (‘ LiOH ’, or ‘ Product ’) from the Project with major South Korean lithium-ion battery producer LG Energy Solution (‘ LGES ’).

  • The key terms of the MOU are as follows:

  • The MoU referred to the potential supply of LiOH for an initial 5-year period with the potential to continue for a further 5 years;

  • First right to 10,000tpa of Product with additional volumes under the MoU subject to negotiations and agreement between Infinity and LGES; and

  • The purchase price for the Product will be based on the market prices for lithium hydroxide, subject to agreement by the parties and to be finalised under the terms of a binding offtake agreement.

The Company and LGES have agreed to consult in good faith towards finalising the binding offtake agreement within 12 months of signing the MoU. Any formal agreement is likely to be subject to standard conditions precedent for an offtake agreement of this nature, including Infinity successfully entering commercial production and producing a product that meets the product specification requirements of LGES. Any formal agreement with LGES will be subject to Infinity resolving the permitting matters outlined above.

Dividends Paid or Recommended

The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend and no amount has been paid or declared by way of a dividend to the date of this report.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus ( ‘COVID-19 ’) pandemic has had, or may have, on the 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, 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 pandemic.

Events After Reporting Date

On 19 July 2021 the Company announced a further deferral of current payment obligations by the Consolidated Entity to Valoriza Mineria aligned to the resolution of the PIV cancellation (detailed further in Note 14 and the Directors’ Report). The deferred consideration of €600,000 is now payable within thirty (30) calendar days following notification of the resolution that favourably resolves the PIV appeal or, if applicable, from the agreement to restart the processing of the PIV, provided that the PIAV remains granted in its status. However, the Consolidated Entity may make the pending payment at any time prior to the granting of the PIV or the resumption of its processing. Extremadura Mining S.L. (‘ Extremadura Mining ’) maintains 75% project ownership interest in JV entity TEL, the project vehicle that contains the rights to San José. Further details are available in the ASX announcement on 19 July 2021.

In July 2021, the Company announced that the Spanish Government had approved a historical €4.3 billion funding package with the aim of turning Spain into a European electromobility hub and to kick start the production of electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries through an initiative funded predominantly by EU Next Generation recovery and resilience funding.

Rounding of Amounts

The Company is an entity to which ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191 applies and, accordingly, amounts in the financial statements and Directors’ Report have been rounded to the nearest dollar.

– Remuneration Report Audited

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each key management person of Infinity, and for the executives receiving the highest remuneration.

Remuneration Policy

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for key management personnel of the Consolidated Entity is as follows:

  • The Company’s remuneration policy has been designed to align key management personnel objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Consolidated Entity’s financial results. The Board of Infinity believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best key management personnel to run and manage the Consolidated Entity, as well as create goal congruence between Directors, Executives and Shareholders.

  • The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the key management personnel, was developed by the Board.

  • All key management personnel receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation and fringe benefits.

  • The Board reviews key management personnel packages annually by reference to the Consolidated Entity’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors.

The Company is an exploration entity, and therefore speculative in terms of performance. Consistent with attracting and retaining talented executives, Directors and Senior Executives are paid market rates associated with individuals in similar positions, within the same industry.

Options, Performance Rights and Share Appreciation Rights (‘ SARS ’) have previously been issued to Directors to provide a mechanism to participate in the future development of the Company and an incentive for their future involvement with and commitment to the Company.

Further options and performance incentives may be issued, with key performance indicators such as project milestones, profits, share price appreciation and growth used as measurements for assessing Board performance and in determining the award of further performance incentives.

Mr Ryan Parkin, Mr Adrian Byass and Mr Jon Starink receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 10%. All key management personnel do not receive any other retirement benefits.

All remuneration paid to key management personnel is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Shares given to key management personnel are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the key management personnel. Options, Performance Rights and SARS are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.

Directors’ Report (continued)

The Board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the Non-Executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors was approved by shareholders at the 2019 Annual General Meeting. Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Consolidated Entity. However, to align Directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in the employee option plan.

Non-Executive Director fees are set based on fees paid to other Non-Executive Directors of comparable companies. The aggregate cash remuneration for Non-Executive Directors has been set by the Board and approved by Shareholders at an amount not to exceed $400,000 per annum.

Relationship Between Remuneration and Company Performance

The Directors assess performance of the Group with regards to the achievement of both operational and financial targets with a current focus on subscriber numbers, sales revenues and share price. Directors and Executives are issued Options and, in some cases, SARS or Performance Rights, to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests.

Options, Performance Rights and SARS issued to Directors and Executives may be subject to market-based price hurdles and vesting conditions and the exercise price of options is set at a level that encourages the Directors to focus on share price appreciation. The Board believes this policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth. Key management personnel are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements.

On the resignation of Directors and Executives, any vested options, SARS issued as remuneration are retained by the relevant party.

SARS vest on the achievement of operational and financial milestones, providing those Directors and Executives holding SARS an incentive to meet the operational and financial milestones prior to the expiry date of the SARS.

The Board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives such as Options. The policy is designed to reward key management personnel for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder value.

The following table shows the Group’s net profit/(loss) for the last five financial years, as well as the Company’s share prices at the end of the respective financial years.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

Note 1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial report of Infinity for the year ended 30 June 2021 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of Directors on 30 September 2021. The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Infinity and controlled entities (‘ Consolidated Entity ’ or ‘ Group ’).

Infinity is a listed public company, trading on the Australian Securities Exchange, limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

Basis of Preparation

The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all years presented.

Statement of Compliance

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Interpretations) issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘ AASB ’) and the Corporations Act 2001 as appropriate for profit oriented entities. The consolidated financial report of the Group complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘ IFRS ’) and Interpretations as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘ IASB ’).

Basis of Measurement

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and going concern basis, and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement of fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

Going Concern

As at 30 June 2020, the directors assessed that there was a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. This related to the Group’s ability to raise capital as and when required, to continue the exploitation of the Group’s areas of interest.

During the year the Group successfully raised sufficient capital to continue the exploitation of the areas of interest.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Group made a profit of $2,457,082 for the year ended 30 June 2021 (2020: loss of $1,890,149). As at 30 June 2021 the Group had net current assets of $18,025,832 (2020: net current liabilities of $533,826) and continues to incur expenditure on its equity accounted investment comprising of the San José Project, drawing on its cash balances. As at 30 June 2021, the Group had $19,134,704 (2020: $627,953) in cash and cash equivalents.

These financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Consolidated Entity can meet its commitments as and when they fall due and can therefore continue normal business activities, and the realisation of its assets and settlement of its liabilities can occur in the ordinary course of business.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

New, Revised or Amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations Adopted

The Consolidated Entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any material impact on the financial performance or position of the Consolidated Entity.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. These Standards are not expected to significantly impact the Consolidated Entity’s financial statements.

AASB 2020-1: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Noncurrent

AASB 2020-1 amends AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify requirements for the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position as current or non-current.

AASB 2020-1 mandatorily applies to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2023 and will be first applied by the Group in the financial year commencing 1 July 2023.

AASB 2020-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2018 – 2020 and Other Amendments

AASB 2020-3 amends AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards, AASB 3 Business Combinations, AASB 9 Financial Instruments, AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment, AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and AASB 141 Agriculture as a consequence of the recent issuance by IASB of the following IFRS: Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020, Reference to the Conceptual Framework, Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use and Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract.

AASB 2020-3 mandatorily applies to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2022 and will be first applied by the Group in the financial year commencing 1 July 2022.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by Infinity as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then ended. Infinity and its controlled entities together are referred to in this financial report as the Consolidated Entity.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Consolidated Entity has control. The Consolidated Entity controls an entity when the Consolidated Entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Consolidated Entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Consolidated Entity companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Consolidated Entity. All controlled entities have a June

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

financial year with exception being the Company’s Spanish subsidiaries Extremadura Mining S.L., Castilla Mining S.L. and Morille Mining S.L., which have a 31 March year end for local statutory purposes, however the results of these subsidiaries that are consolidated are for the year ended 30 June 2021.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance. Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity.

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.

Rounding of Amounts

The Company is an entity to which ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191 applies and, accordingly, amounts in the financial statements and Directors’ Report have been rounded to the dollar.

Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

Key Estimates, Judgments and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates relating to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from the estimates made. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are disclosed in the relevant notes.

Note 2. Discontinued Operations

On 25 February 2020, the Consolidated Entity announced that it entered into a binding sale agreement to sell 100% of the issued capital of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Equatorial Potash Pty Ltd. The holder of its Gabonese potash assets (Mayumba Potasse) to Meridian Drilling Inc. for a nominal amount of $1, in order to streamline the Consolidated Entity’s activities and focus on the Spanish San José Lithium Project. The sale was completed on 12 March 2020.

The Consolidated Entity’s Morille Tungsten Project is currently in the process of being relinquished, given the decision to focus resources on the San José Lithium Project.

Accounting Policy

Revenue and other revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.

Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.

As at 30 June 2021, the Consolidated Entity had carry forward revenue and capital losses of $17,909,960 (2020: $6,826,468). These losses remain available indefinitely for offset against future taxable profits of the Consolidated Entity provided certain test criteria for their deductibility are met.

Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses and exploration expenditure carried forward have not been brought to account at 30 June 2021 because the Directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the deferred tax assets as probable at this point in time.

These benefits will only be obtained if:

  • the Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the loss and exploration expenditure to be realised; and

  • no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit from the deductions for the loss and exploration expenditure.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

Accounting Policy

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. 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 either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

Tax Consolidation

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have not formed an income tax consolidated group under tax consolidation legislation.

Change in Future Corporate Tax Rate

There has been a legislated change in the corporate tax rate that will apply to future income years. The impact of this reduction in the corporate tax rate has been reflected in the unrecognised deferred tax positions and the prima face income tax reconciliation above.

Key Estimates, Judgments and Assumptions

Judgement is required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position and the deductibility of expenditure incurred within relevant tax jurisdictions. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from temporary differences, are recognised only when it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be utilised.

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the net profit after income tax attributable to members of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

Accounting Policy

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.

The Consolidated Entity applies a simplified approach in calculating expected credit losses. Therefore, the Consolidated Entity does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date. In determining the provision required, the Consolidated Entity utilises its historical credit loss experience, adjusted only where appropriate for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and economic environment.

Current trade and term receivables are non-interest bearing loans and generally on 30-day terms. Non-current trade and term receivables are assessed for recoverability based on the underlying terms of the contract.

There are no balances within trade and other receivables that contain assets that are past due as at 30 June 2021. It is expected these balances will be received when due. In the prior year, the Consolidated Entity recognised an expected credit loss of $95,430 in relation to the costs incurred which were not reimbursed by the purchaser during the Option term for the sale of its Gabonese Potash Project.

Refer to Note 25 Financial Risk Management for further details regarding the Consolidated Entity’s policies for impairment of financial assets and expected credit losses.

During the 2020 financial year, the Company forgave a loan of $1,482,088 owing from Morille Mining S.L. which comprises the majority of the profit for the prior year outlined above.

Key Estimates, Judgments and Assumptions

In determining whether the consolidated group has control over subsidiaries that are not wholly owned, judgement is applied to assess the ability of the consolidated group to control the day to day activities of the partly owned subsidiary and its economic outcomes. In exercising this judgement, the commercial and legal relationships that the consolidated group has with other owners of partly owned subsidiaries are taken into consideration. Whilst the consolidated group is not able to control all activities of a partly owned subsidiary, the partly owned subsidiary is consolidated within the consolidated group where it is determined that the consolidated group controls the day to day activities and economic outcomes of a partly owned subsidiary. Changes in agreements with other owners of partly owned subsidiaries could result in a loss of control and subsequently de-consolidation.

Accounting Policy

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 are measured on a cost basis.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

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 consolidated group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

Depreciation

The carrying amounts of mineral interests, property, plant and equipment are depreciated to their estimated residual value over the estimated economic life of the specific assets to which they relate, or using the straightline method over their estimated useful lives indicated below.

Estimates of residual values and useful lives are reassessed annually and any change in estimate is taken into account in the determination of remaining depreciation charges. Depreciation commences on the date when the asset is available for use.

  • Property, plant and equipment – 5 years straight-line

The Company had an interest in a joint venture held through a 50% interest in TEL which is a special purpose vehicle established for the purpose of holding the San José tenements in Spain. On 13 March 2019 the Consolidated Entity acquired, by way of a Novation to the terms of the JV Agreement, a further 25% interest in TEL, increasing the Consolidated Entity’s aggregate interest to 75%.

During the financial year, the Board considered that the prior factors relating to the impairment recognised no longer existed, following promising test work, funding options and an improving horizon for the Lithium Market and COVID-19 conditions. The Board considered that the fair value of the San José Lithium Project was at least equal to, or above, cost. Accordingly, the Board resolved to reverse the previous impairment amounts recognised.

In April 2021 the Company received notification from the Junta which informed the Company of the cancellation of PIV research permit application at San José. The decision was unexpected and followed the resolution of the Junta which granted the PIAV, as announced on 23 December 2020. The Company strongly disputes the validity of the decision to cancel the PIV application and following legal advice the Company lodged an administrative appeal of this resolution as filed by TEL which was subsequently rejected in July 2021.

Infinity Lithium Corporation Limited | Annual Report

40 | P a g e

==> picture [102 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

The Company considered the Junta’s resolution to cancel the PIV in direct breach of the law and in contradiction of previous rulings by the Junta on the environmental and urban legality and viability of the PIV. Furthermore, Infinity reserved all rights relating to the multiple administrative decisions and errors of the Junta including the legal status of the mining area under the Junta’s original call for tender, and the actions that facilitated the PIV reverting to application status. This reversion from granted status to application (which was subsequently rejected by the Junta) resulted directly from the administrative failures by the Junta. The administrative faults saw the omission by the Junta to lodge the Project restoration plan in the public exposure period, and the Junta’s fault in not providing adequate notice in the public exposure period.

The Company has assembled a high calibre and experienced legal team led by Madrid founded and national leading legal firm Pérez-Llorca to advise and represent TEL throughout the administrative contentious appeal process.

In the event that the above matters are not resolved, there is a material uncertainty that the carrying value of the Consolidated Entity’s interest in the TEL may not be recoverable at the amount stated in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

The Project comprises the PIV and PIAV. The Company announced the granting of the PIAV to TEL on 23 December 2020. The location of the beneficiation plant and downstream lithium chemical conversion facilities have been identified in the PIAV area, utilising feedstock from the lithium mica ore contained within PIV. The Company received notice that the PIAV remained granted and in good standing with an appeal by an NGO rejected after the 30 June 2021 year end. Accordingly, the Board considers that the fair value of the San José Lithium Project remains at least equal to, or above, cost.

Accounting Policy

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

Key Estimates, Judgments and Assumptions

AASB 11 Joint Arrangements requires an investor to have contractually agreed the sharing of control when making decisions about the relevant activities (in other words requiring the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control). However, what these activities are is a matter of judgement.

Joint control exists for all joint arrangements where the Consolidated Entity has purchased its rights, or met its earn-in requirements, with each being classified as joint operations under AASB 11 Joint Arrangements on the basis that the binding arrangements signed between the participants establish a contractually agreed sharing of control with decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

It is the Company’s view that it jointly controls TEL with Valoriza Mineria as at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2021 until such time that the Consolidated Entity make the outstanding deferred consideration payment of €600,000. This is primarily as a result of an 80% (and therefore unanimous) majority required for all company and management body decisions until such time that the €600,000 is paid. This includes decisions over the relevant activities that affect the returns of the joint arrangement.

Commitments

TEL does not have any material financial commitments in relation to the Project.

On 13 March 2019, the Consolidated Entity, through its 100% owned subsidiary, Extremadura Mining, S.L.U, sought to amend the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement and signed the “Novacion Al Contrato De Participacion en lan Investigacion Minera Y Ocuerdo De Valuntad Asociativa Entre Valoriza Mineria, S.L.U., Y Extremadura Mining, S.L.U (‘Novation’), with the following impact:

  • i. The removal of the prior obligation by the Consolidated Entity to spend €2.5 million in TEL;

  • ii. The requirement to pay VM €1 million, with €250,000 upfront, a further €150,000 within three months (paid September 2019) and the remaining €600,000 payable in six equal payments made each month (conditional on the tenement application reverting back to granted status); and

  • iii. Consequently, as a result of i) and ii) above, the immediate transfer of a further 25% of the shares in TEL to give INF a 75% equity interest.

The first instalment of €150,000 was paid on 6 September 2019 following the upfront amount, with €600,000 remaining due and payable as at 30 June 2021. On 28 July 2020 the Consolidated Entity and Valoriza Mineria executed an agreement to extend the payment term of the deferred consideration outstanding. It was agreed that the Consolidated Entity would pay €100,000 on or before 29 July 2021, with a further 5 equal successive and monthly instalments of €100,000 to then be made.

On 19 July 2021 the Company announced a further deferral of current payment obligations by the Consolidated Entity to Valoriza Mineria aligned to the resolution of the PIV cancellation. Refer to Note 27 for further information on the revised terms for payment of the deferred consideration amount.

The Consolidated Entity’s accounting policy for deferred consideration is set out in Note 25 Financial Risk Management.

g) Capital Management

The Directors’ primary objective is to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital to the Company. At reporting date the Company has no external borrowings.

Accounting Policy

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. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options, or for the acquisition of a business, are included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

Key Estimates, Judgments and Assumptions

The Consolidated Entity measures the cost of equity settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of share options is determined by an external valuer using an appropriate valuation model.

Accounting Policy – Share-Based Payments

Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with nonvesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity received the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying the Black-Scholes option valuation model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:

  • During the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period;

  • From the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transaction is the cash paid to settle the liability.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

Accounting Policy - Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Nonmonetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

  • assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;

  • income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and

  • retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the Board makes a decision that such amounts are no longer recoverable.

Note 20. Operating Segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors and Managing Director (chief operating decision makers) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance. Operating segments are identified by Management based on the mineral resource and exploration activities in Australia and Spain. Discrete financial information about each project is reported to the chief operating decision maker on a regular basis.

The reportable segments are based on aggregated operating segments determined by the similarity of the economic characteristics, the nature of the activities and the regulatory environment in which those segments operate. The Consolidated Entity has two reportable segments based on the geographical areas of the mineral resource and exploration activities, Gabon and Spain. Unallocated results, assets and liabilities represent corporate amounts that are not core to the reportable segments.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments

(a) Accounting policies adopted

Unless otherwise stated, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors and Managing Director, being the chief decision makers with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the consolidated group.

(b) Segment assets

Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to that segment that receives the majority asset economic value from that asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.

(c) Segment liabilities

Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of that segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the consolidated group as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables.

(d) Unallocated items

Unallocated results, assets and liabilities represent corporate amounts that are not core to the reportable segments.

Mr Ledoux-Pedailles’ Performance Rights, representing 50% of Performance Rights included in tranche A and tranche B, lapsed 3 months after his resignation on 26 August 2020. All remaining Performance Rights on issue expired on 31 December 2020 and did not vest. As a result, a reversal of $356,615 was recognised within the Statement of Profit or Loss, reflecting that no Performance Rights on issue have vested as the relevant milestones associated with their vesting were not met.

3) Share Appreciation Rights expiring on 13 September 2024

On 11 December 2019, the Company issued 10,000,000 Share Appreciation Rights (‘SARS’) to Mr Ryan Parkin and Mr Vincent Ledoux-Pedailles (5,000,000 each respectively).

Mr Ledoux-Pedailles’ SARS lapsed upon his resignation on 26 August 2020, as a result $47,466 of the previously recognised expense was reversed in the current period.

The SARS vesting profile is as follows:

  • Tranche 1 - 50% (2,500,000 total remaining) vested on 13 September 2020

  • o Tranche 2 - 25% (1,250,000 total remaining) will vest on 13 September 2021 o Tranche 3 - 25% (1,250,000 total remaining) will vest on 13 September 2022

Note 25. Financial Risk Management

The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, local money market instruments, shortterm investments, accounts receivable and payable.

Financial Risk Management Policies

  • a) Treasury Risk Management

  • The Board meets on a regular basis to analyse financial risk exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts. The Board’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Group in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance.

Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the Board on a regular basis. These include the use of credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements.

  • b) Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are foreign currency risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and price risk.

  • i. Foreign currency risk

  • The Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the sale and purchase of goods and services in currencies other than the Group’s measurement currency. The currencies in which these transactions primarily are denominated are AUD and EURO.

The carrying amount of the Consolidated Entity's foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at the reporting date was as follows:

Consolidated
EUR
Assets Assets Liabilities Liabilities
2021 2020 2021 2020
5,878,806
1,884,056
644,994
619,860

The effect of a 10% strengthening of EUR against the AUD at the reporting date on the EURdenominated assets and liabilities carried within the AUD functional currency entity would, all other variables held constant, have resulted in a decrease in post-tax profit for the year and decrease of net assets of A$827,267 (2020: increase in post-tax loss for the year and decrease of net assets of A$209,503).

  • ii. Liquidity risk

  • Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. Typically the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.

iii. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Consolidated Entity if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Consolidated Entity’s receivables from customers and investment securities. The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at reporting date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.

The Consolidated Entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or Consolidated Entity of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Consolidated Entity.

Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions are managed in accordance with approved Board policy. The Consolidated Entity’s current investment policy is aimed at maximising the return on surplus cash, with the aim of outperforming the benchmark within acceptable levels of risk return exposure and to mitigate the credit and liquidity risks that the consolidated group is exposed to through investment activities.

The following table provides information regarding the credit risk relating to cash and money market securities based on Standard and Poor’s counterparty credit ratings.

  • iv. Commodity price risk

The Consolidated Entity is not directly exposed to commodity price risk. However, there is a risk that the changes in prevailing market conditions and commodity prices could affect the viability of the project.

  • v. Interest rate risk exposure analysis

Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. The Consolidated Entity does not use derivatives to mitigate these exposures.

Fair Value

Fair values are those amounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Fair values may be based on information that is estimated or subject to judgement, where changes in assumptions may have a material impact on the amounts estimated. Areas of judgement and the assumptions have been detailed below. Where possible, valuation information used to calculate fair value is extracted from the market, with more reliable information available from markets that are actively traded. In this regard, fair values for listed securities are obtained from quoted market prices. Where securities are unlisted and no market quotes are available, fair value is obtained using discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants.

Infinity Lithium Corporation Limited | Annual Report

62 | P a g e

==> picture [102 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

The following methods and assumptions are used to determine the net fair values of financial assets and liabilities:

  • a) Cash and short-term investments – the carrying amount approximates fair value because of their short term to maturity;

  • b) Trade receivables and trade creditors – the carrying amount approximates fair value; and

  • c) Other assets and liabilities approximate their carrying value.

No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form other than listed investments.

Financial Instruments

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the Consolidated Entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

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

Impairment of financial assets

The Consolidated Entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the consolidated entity's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.

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

Financial liabilities of the group consist of namely of Trade and other payables and are classified and subsequently measured at fair value and deferred consideration which is initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest expense in profit or loss over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return of the financial liability. That is, it is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the instrument to the net carrying amount at initial recognition.

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

Note 26. Capital Commitments

In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements the Consolidated Entity is required to perform minimum exploration work to meet the minimum expenditure requirements specified by various State Governments and overseas government bodies.

The Consolidated Entity ceased exploration activities for the Morille, Banio and Mamana projects in the prior year order to focus on the San José Lithium Project (accounted for as part of equity holding in TEL). As such, the Consolidated Entity does not have any further material financial commitments in relation to these projects.

Note 27. Events After Reporting Date

On 19 July 2021 the Company announced a further deferral of current payment obligations by the Consolidated Entity to Valoriza Mineria aligned to the resolution of the PIV cancellation (detailed further in Note 14 and the Directors’ Report). The deferred consideration of €600,000 is now payable within thirty (30) calendar days following notification of the resolution that favourably resolves the PIV appeal or, if applicable, from the agreement to restart the processing of the PIV, provided that the PIAV remains granted in its status. However, the Consolidated Entity may make the pending payment at any time prior to the granting of the PIV or the resumption of its processing. Extremadura Mining maintains 75% project ownership interest in JV entity TEL, the project vehicle that contains the rights to San José. Further details are available in the ASX announcement on 19 July 2021.

In July 2021 the Company announced that the Spanish Government had approved a historical €4.3 billion funding package with the aim of turning Spain into a European electromobility hub and to kick start the production of electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries through an initiative funded predominantly by EU Next Generation recovery and resilience funding. The government will stimulate private investment aligned to commitments for Strategic Projects for Economic Recovery and Transformation (‘ PERTE’ ) which will include the whole production chain from extracting lithium to assembling battery cells and manufacturing electric vehicles. The EU Next Generation mechanism has been earmarked to enable the mobilisation of another €19 billion in private investment, bringing the total amount to approximately €24 billion between 2021 and 2023. Further details are available in the ASX announcement on 14 July 2021.
