Centennial Mining Limited (subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) Annual Financial Report 30 June 2019

Year in Review

Through FY 2019 ore was mined from both A1 mine and Union Hill. Mine development and mining A1 Mine saw the 1320 level established with a production grade of around 5.0 gt from the jumbo development ore. Handheld mining continued in various areas with a head grade of around 7gt while some long hole production was sub 4gt. Mining at Union Hill was from long hole open stoping between the 1060 through to 1100 levels. Production grade was circa 3.0 gt however due to the close proximity to the process plant the mine remained in operation while processing capacity was available.

The process plant saw operational issues with throughput capacity in November and December 2018, due to worn mill liners, resulting in higher production costs and a reduction of around 20% of capacity. Union Hill was placed into care and maintenance from November 2018 due to lower head grade, compared to A1 financial stress due to the inability to raise additional working capital and the company entered Voluntary Administration on 21st March 2019.

The Voluntary Administrators which saw production from hand held mining methods at circa 20% of previous production capacity. The forecast saw around a 50% reduction of the A1 Mine workforce and 75% reduction at the process plant. This limited mining strategy continued through the remainder

Prior to the company entering Voluntary Administration, the main decline at A1 Mine was progressively extended from the 1315 level down to the 1300 level, approximately 15 m vertically, enabling production level development on the 1320, 1310 and 1300 mRL levels. Long hole stoping was conducted from the 1360. Headings within these areas were a combination of air-leg mining production and mechanised jumbo headings where access was favourable. Access to historic workings provided opportunities to mine accessible high grade ore in the form of high grade laminar quartz veins.

In addition, a significant proportion of production also came from mining of high grade mineralisation and exploration drives as air-leg intermediate stopes including 1320-830 sub-level, 1310 and 1300. A total of Plant at Maldon in Central Victoria, producing a total of 10,940 ounces of gold.

Further detailed resource definition diamond drilling program was completed underground, targeting the Victory North area resource definition between the 1320RL below the 110m0RL. The results from this drilling program along with historic drilling results informed the updated shape definition and block modelling of the Victory North long hole stope and Queens Exploration Target.

Oldfield DoCA extensions

The Oldfield DoCA was extended three times from the original completion date of 31 March 2020.

The first extension was to 30 June 2020 to allow the Gandel Proceedings to be determined. The second to 30 September 2020 to allow the appeal to the Gandel Proceedings to be determined. The third extension to 31 December 2020 was to allow the appeal to the Gandel Decision to be heard and subsequent decision to be handed down.

Ability to complete

The Deed Administrators had concerns that the Oldfield DoCA would be unable to be effectuated due to a number of factors, including:

  • Secured Creditors (excluding Gandel) stated that they were not supportive of receiving equity in accordance with the Oldfield DoCA and would not release their security over Centennial at effectuation, being a condition to the Oldfield DoCA;

  • the Court decision in the Gandel Proceedings that Gandel holds security over the A1 Mine (the Oldfield DoCA treated Gandel as an unsecured creditor);

  • both Oldfield and Gandel indicating they would appeal to the High Court if they were unsuccessful in relation to the Gandel Decision which would cause further delays and risks to the trading operations; and that the second distribution to creditors (whilst always contingent) would not proceed given the estimated timeline to complete the Oldfield DoCA given that the Gandel Proceedings were appealed.

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations and comply with other requirements of the law.

The financial statements comprise the consolidated statements for the Group. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity.

The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently applied to all of the periods presented unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the Group consisting of Centennial Mining Limited and its subsidiaries.

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. Historical cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. Assets have been valued at the expected net returns on a distressed sale basis.

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars.

The company is an unlisted public company, incorporated in Australia and operating in the state of Victoria. The the mining and development of gold bearing ore and the processing of mined gold ore, within central and eastern Victoria.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Group had a working capital deficiency of $15,192,125 at 30 June 2019 and incurred a loss for the year of $33,360,733, of which $23,919,915 related to an impairment expense. The net cash outflow from operating and investing activities was $1,250,360. At 30 June 2019 the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $1,746,426.

First DoCA

The Voluntary Administrators became the Deed A Deed Administrators

On 7 June 2019, the First DoCA was executed by the Deed Administrators and Avior. A detailed overview of the Report dated 10 May 2019, and a high-level overview is detailed in note 22.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of preparation (continued)

On 8 July 2019 the Deed Administrators received correspondence from Avior advising that it was their opinion that the First DoCA could not be completed due to an inability to raise the capital under the terms of the First DoCA and as such a variation would be required. Avior required an alternate method to raise capital due to unforeseen external economic conditions, including but not limited to:

An introduction of royalties on gold production charged by the Victorian State Government in January 2020. Various high-profile trading issues in the Australia gold sector. Introduction of a new DoCA contributor.

material nature of the variations to the First DoCA, creditor approval was required. Accordingly, the Deed d Administrators remained the Deed Administrators.

The Varied DoCA was executed on 27 September 2019 by the Deed Administrators and Avior. An overview is detailed in note 22. On 21 October 2019, the Deed Administrators received correspondence from Avior advising that it was their opinion that the Varied DoCA was required to be amended further. Avior consequently provided a proposal to amend the Varied DoCA to the Deed Administrators of 28 October 2019.

The Amended Varied DoCA was approved at a meeting of creditors held on 15 November 2019 and the Amended Varied DoCA was subsequently executed on 20 November 2019.

A further extension for the effectuation of the Amended Varied DoCA to 24 January 2020 was approved between Avior and the Deed Administrators on 12 December 2019, to allow for Austar to complete its capital raisings, as Austar raising up to $4.4 million in capital was a condition precedent to the Amended Varied DoCA, and $2.4 million of this capital was to be contributed to the Amended Varied DoCA.

On 11 January 2020, Mining Lending entered into an agreement to assign its debt to Austar.

On 21 January 2020, a DoCA proposal was received from Oldfield Investments Pty Ltd atf Oldfield Family Trust precedents to the Oldfield DoCA proposal was the acceptance by the Deed Administrators of a loan agreement with Oldfield Investments to refinance the Mining Lending facility in full. The Deed Administrators entered into a 22 January 2020 with Oldfield Investments becoming a secured creditor of the Group.

The Oldfield DoCA was approved by creditors at meetings held on 12 February 2020. However, on 26 February -enlivened the proceedings in the Federal Court of Australia vid 688 of 2019 in relation to whether Gandel held security over the Group or its assets

voluntary administration loans to the Group to enable employee entitlements to be paid, which has a statutory priority pursuant to section 560 of the Corporations Act.

On 28 February 2020, the Oldfield DoCA was executed between the Group, Oldfield Investments and the Deed Administrators.

Oldfield Investments, with the consent of the Deed Administrators, sold its debt and the secured debt it bought from Langsung Pty Ltd atf Langsung Superannuation Fund to Golden River Resources Pty Ltd on 23 September Resources Pt GRR

Investments dismissed the injunction hearing and the appeal to the Gandel Proceedings.

On 17 September 2020, GRR submitted a proposed variation to the Oldfield DoCA. The key terms of the GRR DoCA are summarised below:

GRR will make available cash of $13.5 million which will be used to pay the Oldfield Investments, Secured Administrator for their trading costs and fees. The Deed Administrators have received evidence that $13.5 st account;

(a) Basis of preparation (continued)

  • The Deed Administrator creditors approved the GRR DoCA;

    • was discontinued;
  • the Secured Creditors consenting to release their security at settlement; and

  • sunset date of 31 December 2020 or such later date as agreed between the Deed Administrator an GRR.

The Administrators believe that the ability for the Group to continue to remain as a going concern is dependent upon, amongst other factors, the following key assumptions:

  • the DOCA effectuating and the recapitalisation completing on our about 31 December 2020;

  • gold production from the A1 Mine at rates and costs generally consistent with those contained in the 2020 financial report

  • the price received for gold sold by the Group being higher than the prevailing cost of gold production at A1 Mine; and

Based on the above, the Directors have reasonable grounds to believe that the DOCA will effectuate on or about 31 December 2020, that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due, and the Directors consider that the going concern basis of preparation to be appropriate for these financial statements.

as a going concern and therefore, whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.

To support this view, a comprehensive mine forecast and cashflow model shows that, subject to continued positive resource definition drilling and any unforeseen events, it is expected that continued mining, processing and sale of gold will be successful and will enable the Group to continue as a going concern.

Should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

(b) Adoption of new and revised standards

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 30 June 2019

In the year ended 30 June 2019, the directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. The Group has adopted all of the new and revised standards and interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current reporting period.

The adoption of new and revised standards and interpretations has had no effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior periods.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces the requirements of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and is effective for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.

AASB 9 replaces the provisions of AASB 139 that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers replaces the requirements of AASB 118 Revenue , AASB 111 Construction contracts and related interpretations and is effective for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.

AASB 15 establishes a new revenue recognition framework for determining how much revenue is to be recognized and when, requiring entities to recognize revenue arising from contracts with customers when control of the goods or services transfers to the customer. Control of goods or services refers to the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the goods or services.

In determining revenue recognition, a contract-based five-step analysis of transactions is to be applied before revenue can be recognized: identify contracts with customers, identify the separate performance obligations, determine the transaction price of the contract, allocate the transaction price to each of the separate performance obligations, and recognize the revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied, either at a point in time or over time, when (or as) the Group satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to customers.

Impact of AASB 15 on the Group

Revenue is currently recognized by the Group at the point of physical deliver, which is also when title passes to the customer, therefore there is no change in the timing of revenue recognition on the settlement date.

AASB 15 requires entities to apportion the transaction price into distinct performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis, for example, onward freight services to the customer following the transfer of control of the product. Where material, revenue from these freight services is to be deferred and recognised over time as the to transfer product to the customer.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(b) Adoption of new and revised standards (continued)

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

The directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2019. The directors are in the process of assessing the impact of AASB16 (Leases).

(c) Statement of compliance

The financial report was authorised for issue on 4 December 2020.

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

(d) Significant accounting estimates and judgements

The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions 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 Group 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 Black and Scholes model, using the assumptions detailed in Note 17.

Exploration and evaluation costs carried forward

The Group capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. While there are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted, the directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written off, since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet been concluded.

Mine Properties

The recoverability of the carrying amount of mine development expenditure carried forward has been reviewed by the directors. In conducting the review, the recoverable amount has been assessed by reference to the higher of

  • Estimates of ore reserves and mineral resources for which there is a high degree of confidence of economic extraction;

  • Estimated production and sales levels;

  • Estimated future commodity prices;

  • Future costs of production;

  • Future capital expenditure; and/or

  • Future exchange rates

Mine properties represent the accumulation of all exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred in respect of areas of interest in which mining has commenced or in the process of commencing. When further development expenditure is incurred in respect of mine property after the commencement of production, such expenditure is carried forward as part of the mine property only when substantial future economic benefits are thereby established, otherwise such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of production.

Amortisation is provided on a unit of production basis (other than restoration and rehabilitation expenditure detailed below) which results in a write off of the cost proportional to the depletion of the proven and probable mineral reserves.

Centennial Mining Limited (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) Annual Financial Report 30 June 2019

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(d) Significant accounting estimates and judgements (continued)

The net carrying value of each area of interest is reviewed regularly and to the extent to which this value exceeds its recoverable amount, the excess is either fully provided against or written off in the financial year in which this is determined.

The Group provides for environmental restoration and rehabilitation at site which includes any costs to dismantle and remove certain items of plant and equipment. The cost of an item includes the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which an entity incurs when an item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during that period. This asset is depreciated on the basis of the current estimate of the useful life of the asset.

In accordance with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets an entity is also required to recognise as a provision the best estimate of the present value of expenditure required to settle the obligation. The present value of estimated future cash flows is measured using a current market discount rate.

Units-of-production depreciation

Estimated recoverable reserves are used in determining the depreciation and/or amortisation of mineral specific assets. This results in a depreciation/amortisation charge proportional to the depletion of the anticipated remaining and to present assessments of economically recoverable reserves of the mine property at which the asset is located. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions, including the volume of recoverable reserves and estimates of future capital expenditure.

Variations to expected future cash flows, and timing thereof, could result in significant changes to the impairment test results, which in turn could impact future financial results.

In conducting their impairment assessment, the directors considered impairment indicators were present, due to ongoing operating losses. Accordingly, an impairment assessment has been conducted. Further details of on the impairment assessment and material assumptions are set out in note 11.

Inventories

Costs incurred in, or benefits, of the productive process are accumulated as stockpiles, gold in process and product inventory. Net realisable value tests are performed at least annually and represent the estimated future sales price of the product, based on prevailing spot metal prices at the reporting date, less estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale.

Stockpiles are measured by estimating the number of tonnes added and removed from the stockpile, the number of contained gold ounces based on assay data, and the estimated recovery percentage based on the expected processing method. Stockpile tonnages are verified by periodic surveys.

The metallurgic balancing process is constantly monitored and the recovery estimates are refined based on reconciliations with actual results.

Rehabilitation provision

A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs for future rehabilitation of land explored or mined. The consolidated entity's mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. The consolidated entity recognises management's best estimate for assets retirement obligations and site rehabilitations in the period in which they are incurred. Actual costs incurred in the future periods could differ materially from the estimates. Additionally, future changes to environmental laws and regulations, life of mine estimates and discount rates could affect the carrying amount of this provision.

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 company 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 company 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 company unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Allowance for expected credit losses

The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience, historical collection rates, the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and forward-looking information that is available. The allowance for expected credit losses, as disclosed in note 1(r), is calculated based on the information available at the time of preparation. The actual credit losses in future years may be higher or lower.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(d) Significant accounting estimates and judgements (continued)

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets

The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.

(e) Provision for restoration and rehabilitation

ject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. The Group recognises managements best estimate for asset retirement obligations in the period in which they are incurred. Actual costs incurred in the future periods could differ materially from the estimates. Additionally, future changes to environmental laws and regulations, life of mine estimates and discount rates could affect the carrying amount of the provision.

A provision for restoration and rehabilitation is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of activities undertaken, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably. The estimated future obligations include the costs of abandoning sites, removing facilities and restoring the affected areas.

The provision for future restoration costs is the best estimate of the present value of the expenditure required to settle the restoration obligation at the balance date. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the restoration provision at each balance date.

The initial estimate of the restoration and rehabilitation provision is capitalised into the cost of the related asset and amortised on the same basis as the related asset, unless the present obligation arises from the production of inventory in the period, in which case the amount is included in the cost of production for the period. Changes in the estimate of the provision for restoration and rehabilitation are treated in the same manner, except that the unwinding of the effect of discounting on the provision is recognised as a finance cost rather than being capitalised into the cost of the related asset.

(f) Exploration and evaluation

Exploration 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 exploration 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 balance 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.

Exploration 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. General 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.

Exploration 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). Where 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.

Where 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.

(g) Ore Reserve and Resource estimate

The group estimates its ore reserves and mineral resources based on information compiled by a Competent Persons (as defined in the 2012 edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves [the JORC Code]). Resources determined in this way are taken into account in the calculation of depreciation, amortisation, impairment, rehabilitation and environmental expenditure.

In estimating the remaining life of the mine for the purposes of amortisation and depreciation calculations, due regard is given to limitations which could arise from the potential for changes in technology, demand, and other issues which are inherently difficult to estimate over a lengthy time frame.

(h) Development expenditure

Development expenditure is recognised at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Exploration and evaluation expenditure is reclassified to development expenditure once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the related mineral resource is demonstrable. Where commercial production in an area of interest has commenced, the associated costs together with any forecast future capital expenditure necessary to develop proved and probable reserves are amortised over the estimated economic life of the mine on a units-of-production basis.

Changes in factors such as estimates of proved and probable reserves that affect unit-of-production calculations are dealt with on a prospective basis.

(i) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Centennial Mining the Company owns 100% of the share capital of all its subsidiaries it has full control of each entity.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, 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.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary. Investments in subsidiaries held by Centennial Mining Limited are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of the parent entity less any impairment charges.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting involves recognising at acquisition date, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquired. The identifiable assets and the liabilities assumed are measured at their acquisition date fair values.

(j) Segment reporting

Since incorporation the Company has been engaged in the minerals industry at one location in Victoria and

(k) Revenue recognition

Sales revenue is recognised when:

  • Control of the goods has been transferred to the customer, which occurs when physical goods are delivered to the customer;

  • The customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership through the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the goods;

  • Payment is due from the customer.

The amount of revenue recognised reflects the consideration to which the Group is, or expects to be, entitled in exchange for the goods. Revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under a sales contract.

Gold bullion and silver sales

Revenue from gold bullion and silver sales is recognised at the time of physical delivery on the settlement date, when control of the physical goods passes to the customer, satisfying the sole performance obligation to deliver gold bullion and silver. For gold bullion and silver sales, the transfer of control is generally at the point in time when the gold bullion and silver is credited to the metal account of the customer on the settlement date.

(l) Leases operating

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(m) Income Tax

ed

on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary difference and to unused tax losses. 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.

Deferred 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.

Deferred 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

  • when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, 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.

  • Deferred 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.

  • When the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries 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.

Unrecognised 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.

Tax consolidation legislation

Centennial Mining Limited its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. Current and deferred tax amounts are accounted for in each individual entity as if each entity continued to act as a taxpayer on its own. Centennial Mining Limited recognises its own current and deferred tax amounts and those current tax liabilities, current tax assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax credits and unused tax losses which it has assumed from its controlled entities within the tax consolidated Group. Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts payable or receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. Any difference between the amounts

receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) controlled entities in the tax consolidated Group.

(n) Deferred tax

Deferred 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. Deferred 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.

(o) Other taxes

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

  • when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

  • receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position

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

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(p) Impairment of assets

The Group assesses at each balance 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 Group makes an estimate of 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 cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When 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.

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

An assessment is also made at each balance 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. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates unt 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. Such 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. After such a reversal the depreciation systematic basis over its remaining useful life. Due to the company entering administration and assessments by a number of knowledgeable independent parties, the board decided to value the assets based on a distressed sale scenario, which resulted in significant impairment costs.

(q) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(r) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold in the ordinary course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The Group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. To measure expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 36 months before 30 June 2019 and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. As at balance date, the amount due from customers was considered to be immaterial to justify calculation of an expected credit loss provision to be put in place.

(s) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary of selling the final product.

(t) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major 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.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(t) Plant and equipment (continued)

With the exception of the Maldon Mill, depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:

  • Motor vehicles over 8 years

  • Office equipment over 3 to 10 years

Plant & equipment over 5 to 20 years

Exploration, evaluation and development assets are amortised on a units of production basis being based on tonnes mined relevant to the estimated total indicated and inferred resource of the A1 mine and Union Hill mines.

Maldon Mill is depreciated on a units of production basis being based on tonnes processed relative to the estimated total indicated and inferred resource of the A1 mine and Union Hill mine.

The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

(u) Financial assets

Classification and measurement of financial assets are based on the business model in which they are managed and their contractual cash flow characteristics. On initial recognition, financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified as measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

(i) Financial assets at amortised cost

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • its contractual terms give rise to cash flows on specified dates that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

For financial assets subsequently measured at amortised cost, any interest income, impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest, or are not classified as measured at amortised cost of FVOCI, are measure at FVTPL. Derivative financial assets are measured at FVTPL. For financial assets subsequently measured at FVTPL, net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group assess, on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with debt instruments measured at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards of ownership are transferred. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.

(v) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost of FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as measured at FVTPL if it is classified as held for trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition

Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expire. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.

(w) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(x) Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

The fair value of the liability portion of a convertible note is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible note. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the note. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

(y) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.

When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest expense.

(z) Employee entitlements

Annual leave

Liabilities accruing to employees in respect of annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Liabilities accruing to employees in respect of annual leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date are recognised in nonto the balance date. They are measured as the present value of the estimated future outflow to be made by the Group.

Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the balance date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and period of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the balance date on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(aa) Share-based payment transactions

Equity settled transactions:

The Group provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Group 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. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes model, further details of which are given in Note 17. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Centennial Mining Limited (market conditions) if applicable.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant persons become fully entitled to the award.

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each balance date until vesting date reflects

instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The

statement of comprehensive income charge or credit 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 market condition.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings/loss per share (see Note 4).

Where the company acquires some form of interest in an exploration tenement or an exploration area of interest and the consideration comprises share based payment transactions, the fair value of the equity instruments granted is measured at the grant date. The cost of equity securities is recognised within capitalised mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure, together with a corresponding increase in equity.

(ab) 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.

(ac) Earnings/loss per share

Basic earnings/loss per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

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

costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;

the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and

  • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

During the year, the property, plant and equipment held by the Group were professionally valued. The valuation presented to the Group noted a fair market value for continued use of assets that detailed a considerable impairment to the written down values at period end. As a result, a large amount of property, plant and equipment has been impaired at year end.

The recoupment of costs carried forward in relation to areas of interest in the exploration and evaluation phases is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective areas.

Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets

During the year the recoverable amounts for the Nuggetty Reef, Pearl Croydon and Specimen Reef tenements were assessed to be less than the carrying amounts of these assets, which resulted in the assets being written down to their recoverable amounts. These three tenements were valued at $600,000 cumulatively.

In the normal course of business mine properties and associated plant and equipment will be recouped through the successful production and sale of gold from the respective properties. Due to ongoing operating losses and the Company being entered into administration during the year, a valuation was undertaken by RPM Global of the estimated value range of the development and exploration assets. RPM noted that the distressed nature of the assets has accounted for the likelihood of a discount expected on the value by any prospective buyer of the assets which has driven the value down. The valuation performed resulted in significant impairment costs ($18,996,640) to development assets captured in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

  • i) The provision for employee benefits represents accrued annual and long service leave.

  • ii) The provision for restorative obligations relates to the estimated cost of rehabilitation work to be carried out in relation to the removal of facilities, closure of sites and restoring the affected areas. The provision represents the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the restoration obligation at the reporting date. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the restoration provision at each reporting date.

  • iii) Provision for Duties

On 19 September 2017, the Directors were notified by the State Revenue Office in Victoria of a potential duty liability under the landholder duty provisions of the acquisition of Maldon Resources Pty Limited. As such, the Board has taken the conservative view to raise a provision of $111,677 in the financial statements to allow for any potential duties which may be payable. An amount of $20,499 has to date been paid on the estimated liability. The Board is not convinced that the company is liable for these duties and the matter has been referred to subject matter experts for review and advice. To date the Company has not been formally assessed in this matter.

i) Credit Risk

Credit Risk refers to the risk that a counterparty 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 as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

The credit risk of liquid funds is limited because the counterparty is a bank with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies. Apart from credit risk on liquid funds the Group does not have any significant risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics.

Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the balance date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period.

At balance date, if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher and all othe net loss would increase by $25,872 (2018: decrease $4,883). There would be a corresponding effect on equity.

Market risk

The Group s activities expose it to the financial risks of changes in commodity prices. A 5% change in the gold price would have changed the result for the year by $1,111,902 (2018: $1,302,832) and changed the value of inventory by $21,290 (2018: $66,634).

Varied DoCA

On 8 July 2019 the Deed Administrators received correspondence from Avior advising that it was their opinion that the First DoCA could not be completed due to an inability to raise the capital under the terms of the First DoCA and as such a variation would be required. Avior required an alternate method to raise capital due to unforeseen external economic conditions, including but not limited to:

  • An introduction of royalties on gold production charged by the Victorian State Government in January 2020;

  • Various high-profile trading issues in the Australian gold sector; and

Amended Varied DoCA

On 21 October 2019, the Deed Administrators received correspondence from Avior advising that it was their opinion that the Varied DoCA was required to be amended further due to:

  • The reduction in gold revenue produced in the period 1 August 2019 to 23 September 2019;

  • further $0.50 million to allow the Deed Administrators to continue operations;

A further extension for the effectuation of the Amended Varied DoCA to 24 January 2020 was approved between Avior and the Deed Administrators on 12 December 2019, to allow for Austar to complete its capital raisings, as Austar raising up to $4.4 million in capital was a condition precedent to the Amended Varied DoCA, and $2.4 million of this capital was to be contributed to the Amended Varied DoCA.

Execution

On 21 January 2020, a DoCA proposal was received from Oldfield Investments Pty Ltd atf Oldfield Family Trust No 3 Oldfield DoCA proposal was the acceptance by the Deed Administrators of a loan agreement with Oldfield Investments to refinance the Mining Lending facility in full. The Deed Administrators entered into a loan agreement on 20 January 2020 becoming a secured creditor of the Group.

The Oldfield DoCA was approved by creditors at meetings held on 12 February 2020. However, on 26 February 2020 -enlivened the proceedings in the Federal Court of Australia vid 688 of 2019 in relation t the Group to enable employee entitlements to be paid, which has a statutory priority pursuant to section 560 of the Act.

On 28 February 2020, the Oldfield DoCA was executed between the Group, Oldfield Investments and the Deed Administrators.

Overview

A detailed overview of dated 28 January 2020. A high-level overview of the provisions of the Oldfield DoCA is as follows:

  • $2.01 million on effectuation of the Oldfield DoCA. This contribution was increased to $2.36 million after it was determined to honour the section 560 loans provided by Gandel to the Group;

  • $0.94 million by 31 December 2021 sub June 2021 (i.e. conditional distribution); and

  • June 2022 (i.e. conditional distribution)

  • The following Centennial secured creditors:

  • Montlodge Pty Ltd atf Stanley Family Trust;

  • Bendan Superannuation Pty Ltd atf Crooks Superannuation Fund; and

  • Oldfield Investments receiving 90% of the issued shares in Centennial pursuant to a section 444GA Court application and section 606 consent from ASIC;

  • Gandel being treated as an unsecured creditor; and

  • Creditors being dealt with in separate classes.

Oldfield DoCA extensions

The Oldfield DoCA was extended three times from the original completion date of 31 March 2020.

The first extension was to 30 June 2020 to allow the Gandel Proceedings to be determined. The second to 30 September 2020 to allow the appeal to the Gandel Proceedings to be determined. The third extension to 31 December 2020 was to allow the appeal to the Gandel Decision to be heard and subsequent decision to be handed down.

Ability to complete

The Deed Administrators had concerns that the Oldfield DoCA would be unable to be effectuated due to a number of factors, including:

  • Secured Creditors (excluding Gandel) stated that they were not supportive of receiving equity in accordance with the Oldfield DoCA and would not release their security over Centennial at effectuation, being a condition to the Oldfield DoCA;

  • the Court decision in the Gandel Proceedings that Gandel holds security over the A1 Mine (the Oldfield DoCA treated Gandel as an unsecured creditor);

  • both Oldfield and Gandel indicating they would appeal to the High Court if they were unsuccessful in relation to the Gandel Decision which would cause further delays and risks to the trading operations; and

  • that the second distribution to creditors (whilst always contingent) would not proceed given the estimated timeline to complete the Oldfield DoCA given that the Gandel Proceedings were appealed.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of Centennial Mining Limited (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement)

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Disclaimer of opinion

We were engaged to audit the financial report of Centennial Mining Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the Administrators’ declaration.

We do not express an opinion on the accompanying financial report of the Group. Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for disclaimer of opinion section of our report, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on this financial report.

Basis for disclaimer of opinion

We were appointed as auditors of the Company on 27 November 2020. On 21 March 2019, Centennial Mining Limited was placed into Administration (subject to a Deed of Company Arrangement). As set out in note 1(a) to the financial report, the Deed Administrators were unable to access financial records to enable the finalisation of the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2019. This prevented them from being able to state that the financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 . Consequently, they were unable to state that the financial report gives a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of the financial performance for the year ended on that date.

As a result of the matter described above we were unable to form an opinion on the financial report taken as a whole for the year ended 30 June 2019.

Responsibilities of the Administrators for the Financial Report

The Administrators 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 Administrators are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

Our responsibility is to conduct an audit of the financial report in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and to issue an auditor’s report. However, because of the matter described in the Basis for disclaimer of opinion section of our report, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on the financial report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (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.
