Results for Announcement to the Market
BRIEF EXPLANATION OF RESULTS AND COMMENTARY ON RESULTS AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION
Keybridge’s principal activities during the year were management of its portfolio of listed and unlisted investments/loan assets.
Keybridge generated an overall net gain of $1.737 million from the sale of the Totana Solar Plant assets after the repayment/discharge of various loans owed to Keybridge by the corporate entities which held Totana and the consolidation of the corporate ownership structure vis a vis Totana (as announced on 30 April 2018[59] ):
-
(a) The discharge of the loans led to a reversal of previous years’ impairment of the loans and generated a gain of $932,881 for Keybridge; and
-
(b) The consolidation of Bridge Infrastructure Capital Pty Limited ( BIC ) generated a gain of $804,156 for Keybridge – this was due to Keybridge recognising BIC’s net assets on consolidation which was in excess of the consideration paid by Keybridge to acquire the balance of the 50% interest in BIC that it did not previously own.
Keybridge’s $6.806 million net loss position for the year was caused principally by:
-
a $5.912 million provision for impairment in respect of its 49.7 million shareholding in Molopo Energy Limited (ASX:MPO) (suspended from ASX since 25 July 2017). The Directors have reduced the carrying value of MPO from 14.5 cents to 2.6 cents per share during the year following disclosures made by Molopo on 8 May 2018[16,17,18] and the findings of the Takeovers Panel in the matter of Molopo Energy Limited 10 & 11[31,34,36] , further details of which are outlined in the Directors’ Report;
-
a $0.761 million loss attributable to its 30.98% interest in Associate entity, HHY Fund (ASX:HHY), primarily due to the adverse share price performance of Yowie Group Ltd (ASX:YOW);
-
a $0.659 million net unrealised loss on other (non-MPO) investments; and
-
the $0.308 million interest distributions paid to Convertible Redeemable Promissory Note (CRPN) holders, which is recognised as an expense.
Keybridge generated a total net realised and unrealised loss of $5.132 million (pre- and post-tax) for the year from its securities investment and trading activities, comprising:
-
(a) Realised gains of $1.003 million (from cost), which includes:
-
(i) $1.154 million realised gain on the sale of shares in PTB Group Limited (ASX:PTB); and
-
(ii) $0.153 million realised loss on the sale of shares in SIV Asset Management Limited (ASX:SAM);
-
(b) Unrealised loss of $5.2 million, which includes:
-
(i) $0.529 million unrealised gain attributable to Metgasco Limited (ASX:MEL);
-
(ii) $0.185 million unrealised gain attributable to Pershing Square Holdings Ltd (PSH);
-
(iii) $5.476 million unrealised loss attributable to its 46 million shareholding in Molopo Energy Limited (ASX:MPO); and
-
(iv) $0.354 million unrealised loss attributable to Yowie Group Ltd (ASX:YOW);
-
(c) The accounting reversal of prior year unrealised gain/loss on investments sold during the year of $0.958 million (which is offset against the unrealised loss of $5.2 million (in (b) above) to arrive at the $6.135 million unrealised loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss shown in the Operating Results).
Please refer to the Directors’ Report and financial statements and notes thereto for further information on a review of Keybridge’s operations and financial position and performance for the year ended 30 June 2018.

Dividend Policy
On 8 November 2017[2] , Keybridge announced a new Dividend Policy, as follows:
It is the objective of Keybridge to provide a regular and stable distribution to shareholders after the announcement of its 30 June year end operating results. These results are normally announced at the end of August each year and Keybridge will endeavour to announce its proposed dividend at this time. Dividends will be funded from Keybridge’s Profits Reserve account, which comprises appropriations from the Company’s net profits earned during relevant periods from time to time.
Keybridge intends to make annual distributions to shareholders of at least 0.5 cent per share, to the extent permitted by law and subject to prudent business practice. It is envisaged that shareholder distributions will be made once per year to limit costs and administration. Dividends will be franked to the extent that available franking credits permit.
Keybridge also holds a number of legacy assets (primarily loan receivables). As and when such assets are realised into cash or liquid securities by the Board in the ordinary course of business, Keybridge may also undertake further distributions of fully-franked dividends and or capital returns to shareholders. Proposed capital returns will be subject to prior shareholder approval.

CONTROLLED ENTITIES and ASSOCIATES and JOINT VENTURE ENTITIES
Keybridge has accounted for the following investment as an Associate entity (on an equity accounting basis):
- 30.89% interest (25,146,973 units) in HHY Fund (ASX:HHY) (30 June 2017: 26.46%; 22,646,973 shares).
In addition, on 27 April 2018, Keybridge acquired the balance of the 50% interest in Bridge Infrastructure Capital Pty Limited ( BIC ) that it did not previously own. Keybridge also gained BIC’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Bridge Infrastructure Capital (Midlum) Pty Limited and BIC Europe Limited, as controlled entities. BIC was previously regarded as a jointly controlled company and had been accounted under the equity method (with the investment having been impaired to a nil carrying value in previous years). BIC was the ultimate owner of the Totana Solar Park asset in Spain, which development was funded by debt finance provided by Keybridge. Keybridge had determined to consolidate the corporate ownership structure contemporaneously with the completion of the sale of Totana and the repayment of related loans on 27 April 2018.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (AGM)
Pursuant to the ASX Listing Rules, Keybridge gives notice that its 2018 AGM is expected to be held on 22 November 2018.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Dividend Policy
On 8 November 2017[2] , Keybridge announced a new Dividend Policy, as follows:
It is the objective of Keybridge to provide a regular and stable distribution to shareholders after the announcement of its 30 June year end operating results. These results are normally announced at the end of August each year and Keybridge will endeavour to announce its proposed dividend at this time.
Dividends will be funded from Keybridge’s Profits Reserve account, which comprises appropriations from the Company’s net profits earned during relevant periods from time to time.
Keybridge intends to make annual distributions to shareholders of at least 0.5 cent per share, to the extent permitted by law and subject to prudent business practice.

As and when such assets are realised into cash or liquid securities by the Board in the ordinary course of business, Keybridge may also undertake further distributions of fully-franked dividends and or capital returns to shareholders. Proposed capital returns will be subject to prior shareholder approval.
Keybridge adopted this Dividend Policy due to the Board reaching the view that the Company has a reasonable level of Profits Reserve to fund regular dividend distributions, at least in the next 2-3 years, which means Keybridge is not reliant on funding dividends only from net profits generated in respect of the prevailing/current half year or full year period. The Board also considered that having a formal Dividend Policy is a prudent initiative to focus the Company’s activities to achieve results that justify the payment of dividends consistent with the policy and hence enhancing shareholder value.
CRPN DISTRIBUTIONS
During the financial year, the Company paid interest distributions to holders of its Convertible Redeemable Promissory Notes (ASX:KBCPA) ( CRPN ) as follows:
| Distribution Rate | Record Date | Payment Date | Franking3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.75 cent per note | 12 June 2018 | 20 June 2018 | 100% franked |

Investment in Molopo Energy Limited (ASX:MPO)
As at Balance Date, Keybridge is the second largest shareholder in Molopo with 46,017,543 shares (18.48%[10] ) (30 June 2017: 49,683,828 shares and 19.95%), which were acquired at an average cost of $0.15 per share.
Molopo shares have been suspended from trading on ASX since 27 July 2017 as at the previous (30 June 2017) balance date, Keybridge adopted a carrying value based on a closing (last bid) price of $0.145 as at 26 May 2017 (the day prior to its suspension on 29 May 2017). Molopo shares resumed trading on ASX on 4 July but was suspended again on 25 July 2017 with a closing price of $0.14 as at 21 July 2017, the date of the last trade on the ASX prior to its suspension.
At Balance Date, Keybridge has adopted a carrying value of $0.026 per Molopo share, resulting in a provision for impairment expense of $5.912 million being recognised for the financial year.
This impairment has occurred as a consequence of the conduct of the previous Molopo Board having entered into a series of transactions (the Orient and Drawbridge Transactions) which have caused a reduction of US$35 million (or nearly A$50 million) in Molopo’s cash reserves in circumstances where such conduct have been the subject of:
-
A declaration of ‘unacceptable circumstances’ by the Takeovers Panel in the matter of Molopo Energy Limited 10 & 11[31,34,36] ; and
-
The ASX issuing a ‘Breaches Letter’ to Molopo on 11 May 2018 where ASX advised that it considers that MPO has committed serious breaches of the ASX Listing Rules and may also have breached the Corporations Act for making misleading disclosures to ASX and as such, ASX has referred their findings to ASIC for further investigation[30] .

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The $0.026 per share carrying value for Molopo was based on the Keybridge Board’s judgement of Molopo’s estimated net asset backing having regard to the following matters:
-
(a) Molopo’s gross cash position of A$15.021 million as at 30 June 2018[11] ;
-
(b) Molopo’s C$8.4 million (A$8.631 million[12] ) provision in respect of Canadian litigation matters[16] ;
-
(c) No value has been ascribed to Molopo’s 30% shareholding in Drawbridge Energy Holdings Ltd ( Drawbridge ), which was reported to have gross cash of US$14.07 million, investment and other assets of US$4.42 million, current liabilities of US$0.29 million and net assets of US$18.2 million (A$24.57 million[13] ), as at 31 March 2018[18] ; and
-
(d) Drawbridge’s cash outflows for the 6 month period between April and September 2018 have not been taken into account – this was estimated to be US$6.61 million (gross) or US$1.1 million (A$1.49 million[13] ) per month[18] .
Keybridge will re-assess the carrying value of its investment in Molopo based on further information about Molopo’s financial position, as released on ASX by Molopo.
Further details concerning Molopo and the circumstances revealed in May 2018[16,17,18,30] concerning the conduct of the former Directors of Molopo – Messrs Baljit Singh Johal (former Chairman and Managing Director), Richard Matthews (former Finance Director and Company Secretary) and Matthew Edward Cudmore (former Non-Executive Director) (together, Former Directors ), who were all removed as Directors at Molopo’s AGM held on 31 May 2018[14] - are set out below.
Keybridge notes that these circumstances are being reviewed by the new MPO Board - Messrs Roger Corbett AO, Anthony Hartnell AM, Ralph Curton and William Johnson (being also a Director of Keybridge), who were elected at Molopo’s AGM on 31 May 2018[15] - who are “now vigorously pursuing multiple avenues to recover” Molopo’s funds[17] . Keybridge supports the efforts of the new MPO Board to attempt to restore value to MPO which was lost by the Orient and Drawbridge Transactions and the conduct of former Molopo Directors in the circumstances described below.

Molopo’s market announcements may also be viewed from the ASX website (www.asx.com.au) under ASX code “MPO”.

KEYBRIDGE CAPITAL LIMITED A.B.N. 16 088 267 190
30 JUNE 2018
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
1. The Orient Transaction – US$11.5 Million
-
1.1. On or about 25 July 2017, Molopo paid Gil Feiler US$7 million to acquire 50% of Orient FRC Ltd ( Orient ) (which was announced a month later on 22 August 2017[19] – the Orient Announcement ).
-
1.2. Orient’s 50% earn-in interest in an oil and gas prospect located in Florida, USA with Kerogen Florida Energy LP ( Kerogen ) (with the primary asset being the Indigo Lease) was secured by Kerogen (from the landholder) for an 8-year lease term expiring on 26 May 2019) and Orient had an obligation to drill and spud a first commitment well by 1 May 2018[20] (the Orient Project ).
-
1.3. Orient was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands ( BVI ) on 8 September 2014 with no apparent oil and gas exploration and development track record nor any physical operations (ie. office and staff) and Israeli-resident Gil Feiler has no oil and gas credentials – Molopo has not disclosed how, when and upon what terms Gil Feiler had secured the prospects from Kerogen before on-selling a 50% interest in Orient at a valuation for Orient of US$14 million.
-
1.4. Keybridge had initiated Victorian Supreme Court proceedings[39,40] against Molopo to, inter alia, find out information about the Orient Transaction and as part of those proceedings, had commissioned an independent expert report (prepared by RISC Advisory) which has concluded, inter alia, that Orient’s interest in the Florida prospects is valued at between US$0 and US$395,000.
-
1.5. On 11 December 2017, Molopo loaned US$4.5 million to Orient[21] (as announced on 11 December 2017 – the Orient Funding Announcement ); this advance occurred on the day Molopo’s longstanding Company Secretary was suddenly terminated for no apparent reason[22] .
-
1.6. Gil Feiler (being the other 50% shareholder of Orient) was also required to advance a US$4.5 million loan to Orient as confirmed by Molopo in the Orient Funding Announcement. On 23 April 2018[23] , in response to a query from the ASX, Molopo advised that “ Dr Feiler has not to date executed any shareholder loan agreement with Orient ” and “ To date, Dr Feiler has not contributed a shareholder loan ” – Molopo failed to mentioned that Gil Feiler had ceased to be an Orient shareholder some 3 months earlier on 30 January 2018, having been bought-out of his remaining 50% interest for a further US$7 million.
2. The Orient Transaction – ‘Stage 2’ – US$23.5 Million
-
2.1. During the January to March 2018 quarter[17,18] , Molopo invested a further US$23.5 million into Orient, which funds were applied as outlined below.
-
2.2. On 30 January 2018, Orient spent US$7 million to buy-back Gil Feiler’s 50% shareholding (held via Gil Feiler’s ‘special purpose vehicle’, ESGM Investments Limited[24] ) – this was funded from Molopo’s loans to Orient as announced on 8 May 2018[16,17,18] .
-
2.3. Thus, in a little over 6 months, Gil Feiler received US$14 million of Molopo’s money to sell out of Orient which Molopo had previously announced had no other assets except the right to drill exploration wells on the Florida prospect, the value of which an Independent Expert has assessed at between US$0 - US$395,000. Gil Feiler’s exit from Orient occurred even though he had not yet provided his share of funding (US$4.5 million) into Orient, as Molopo advised he was required to do (as announced in the Orient Funding Announcement), when Molopo contributed its US$4.5 million).
-
2.4. At some stage on or before 7 March 2018, Molopo advanced a further US$16.5 million to Orient - this was in addition to the US$4.5 million loaned to Orient on 11 December 2017[21] and the US$7 million loaned to fund Gil Feiler’s buy-back on 30 January 2018[18] ).
-
2.5. Orient, in turn, provided a US$21 million intercompany loan to a wholly-owned subsidiary, Orient FRC (US) LLC ( Orient US )[18] .
-
2.6. Orient US was registered in Texas, USA on 22 February 2016 and changed its name from Palisades Energy LLC on 14 December 2017 – this company was previously associated with Chris Burkard, who is associated with the Drawbridge Group[18] ; Chris Burkard was also the former VP – Operations of ‘Kerogen Exploration LLC’.[25]

Molopo’s Breaches of ASX Listing Rules and ASIC Investigations
On 11 May 2018, MPO released an ASX Announcement (MPO Breaches of ASX Listing Rules[30] ) containing a letter from the ASX to MPO ( ASX Breaches Letter ) about the conduct of Molopo and its Directors which sets out, amongst others, the following matters:
-
Molopo has committed serious breaches of the Listing Rules;
-
Molopo may have breached the Corporations Act for making misleading disclosures to ASX;
-
ASX has referred its findings to ASIC for potential action against Molopo;
-
ASX requires the Orient and Drawbridge Transactions be put to Molopo shareholders for approval;
-
Molopo will remain suspended from ASX until ASIC has completed its investigations;
-
Molopo must re-comply with the admission requirements of Listing Rules to be re-admitted to the ASX;
-
ASX may exercise their discretion to deny re-admission given Molopo’s conduct and breaches of the Listing Rules; and
-
ASX may rule that the Former Directors (Messrs Johal, Matthews and Cudmore) fail the ‘good fame and character test’ (due to their involvement in Molopo’s breaches), which is one of the conditions for re-admission to ASX.
It is clear from Molopo’s interactions with ASX and Molopo’s ASX announcements that the Former Directors of Molopo omitted to disclose material matters both to ASX and its own shareholders, including completed aspects of the Orient and Drawbridge Transactions.
Further details concerning the ASX Breaches Letter are in Keybridge’s Media Release dated 23 May 2018: Further Letter to Molopo Shareholders for AGM – Orient and Drawbridge Transactions and Breaches of ASX Listing Rules, which is available on the Keybridge website (www.keybridge.com.au).
Takeover Bids for Molopo
(a) Aurora Funds Management Limited
On 27 July 2017, the unlisted Aurora Fortitude Absolute Return Fund ( AFARF ) announced an intention to make an off-market takeover bid for Molopo for 100% of the shares of Molopo at $0.18 per share, to be satisfied by cash (capped at $5 million in total) and or the equivalent value in AFARF units, which may be redeemed off-market at the prevailing net asset value based redemption price in accordance with AFARF’s constitution and fund updates. The bid consideration had been subsequently amended by AFARF to $0.135 and potentially to $0.153 (subject to conditions) per MPO share.
The proposed AFARF bid was subject to a range of ‘defeating conditions’, which were summarised in ABW’s ASX announcement dated 27 July 2017: Aurora Fortitude Absolute Return Fund (AFARF) announces cash and/or scrip takeover bid for Molopo Energy Limited (ASX:MPO).
Aurora Absolute Return Fund (ASX:ABW) is fully invested in AFARF and Aurora Funds Management Limited ( AFML ) is the Responsible Entity of both ABW and AFARF.
AFARF’s bid expired on 20 August 2018 on account of the ‘defeating conditions’ not being freed by AFML.
Further details concerning AFARF’s bid are in ABW's and Molopo’s ASX announcements, as follows:

Takeovers Panel Proceedings - Molopo Energy Limited 10 & 11 and 12R
On 30 July 2018, the Takeovers Panel published its Final Reasons in the matter of Molopo Energy Limited 10 & 11[31] , a summary of which is as follows:
-
The Panel found that Molopo’s failure to disclose certain transactions and events in accordance with its disclosure obligations meant that the acquisition of control over voting shares in Molopo has not taken place in an efficient, competitive and informed market. In addition, by virtue of Molopo taking those actions, Aurora’s bid may be withdrawn or lapse in circumstances where Molopo shareholders were not offered a choice between those actions and Aurora’s bid. The Panel made compensation and costs orders in favour of Aurora.
-
The Panel was “ very troubled by the serious disclosure failures of Molopo over an extended period of time and during a takeover period when greater care is required in a target’s communications with shareholders ”.
-
In the Panel’s view, “ there has been a blatant disregard of Molopo’s disclosure obligations by the Former Directors ” (being Messrs Baljit Johal, Matthew Cudmore and Richard Matthews who were all removed as Directors at Molopo’s AGM held on 31 May 2018[14] ).
-
The Panel identified an extensive list of concerns and questions regarding the conduct of Molopo and its former directors in relation to the Orient and Drawbridge Transactions including:
-
(a) “ the reasons why Molopo’s board repeatedly chose not to disclose material transactions and events to Molopo shareholders ”;
-
(b) the then Molopo Board’s approval of the Orient Transaction announced in July 2017 and subsequent loan transactions (including the intended purpose and actual use of the loan funds);
-
(c) the limited due diligence undertaken by Molopo on the Orient / Drawbridge Transactions, including counterparty due diligence and Molopo’s limited access to information on Drawbridge before and after the Drawbridge Transaction;
-
(d) the decision of the Former Directors not to obtain any independent valuations regarding the Drawbridge Transaction;
-
(e) the reasons why Gil Feiler did not match Molopo’s US$4.5 million loan to Orient and why this outstanding contribution was not factored into the US$7 million paid to Gil Feiler’s special purpose vehicle to buy back his 50% interest in Orient; and
-
(f) “ the reasons why Molopo considered it appropriate to make a total payment of US$14 million for Orient in circumstances where the total consideration payable by Orient for its co-investment in the Orient Project with Kerogen had only been US$2 million (of which US$1 million was payable in two installments [sic] due on 1 July 2017 and 1 September 2017) ”.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
-
The Panel proposes to “ make a referral to ASIC to consider potential breaches of directors duties by the Former Directors, as well as other matters, including the genuineness of the transactions ”.
-
The Panel also identified “ concerns regarding Molopo’s requests for withholding information from parties and the redaction of information in documents received under subpoena in this proceeding (before the Directors Replacement) and Molopo Energy Limited 09[[32]] ” and the Panel proposes to “make a referral to ASIC to investigate whether one or more of the Former Directors breached section 199(1) or 200(1)(a) of the Australian Securities and Investment Commission Act 2001 (Cth) in relation to this proceeding and/or Molopo Energy Limited 09, including whether any written submissions given to the Panel (and ASIC) gave information or evidence that “is false or misleading in a material particular” ”.
On 20 July 2018, Molopo applied for a review of the Panel’s decision on final orders in Molopo Energy Limited 10 & 11[33] (which Keybridge supports).
By way of background:
-
(a) On 8 June 2018, the Panel announced that it had made a declaration of unacceptable circumstances in relation to the affairs of Molopo arising out of, inter alia, the Orient[19] and Drawbridge[17,18] Transactions including that[34] :
-
(i) Molopo shareholders have not been given enough information to enable them to assess the merits of AFARF’s takeover bid[35] and have not had a reasonable and equal opportunity to participate in any benefits accruing under the bid; and
-
(ii) The Former Directors by their action, including such action which may contribute to AFARF’s bid not proceeding, have not given Molopo shareholders a reasonable and equal opportunity to participate in any benefits accruing under the bid.
-
(b) On 18 July 2018, the Panel announced its final orders requiring Molopo to pay Aurora compensation in relation to certain of Aurora’s bid costs and Aurora’s costs in relation to the Panel proceedings (totalling $70,581.66).[36]

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Victorian Supreme Court Litigation
On 18 July 2018, in relation to Keybridge’s proceeding against Molopo and Messrs Baljit Johal, Richard Matthews and Matthew Cudmore[37] (being former Molopo Directors who were all removed as Directors at Molopo’s AGM held on 31 May 2018), vis a vis, amongst other matters, oppression of Molopo shareholders and false and misleading conduct, the Court ordered by minutes of consent orders (agreed by all parties to the proceedings) that:
-
Molopo replace Keybridge as a Plaintiff to the proceeding[38] ;
-
Molopo file and serve an amended originating process and statement of claim against the Defendants (Messrs Johal, Matthews and Cudmore) by 10 August 2018;
-
The Defendants file and serve their defences by 7 September 2018; and
-
The matter be next considered at a directions hearing on 14 September 2018.
By way of background, on 30 May 2018, Keybridge commenced legal action seeking a number of declarations and orders against Molopo and Messrs Johal, Matthews and Cudmore on the basis of, amongst other matters, oppression by Molopo of its shareholders, false and misleading conduct by Molopo and Messrs Johal, Matthews and Cudmore, and breaches by Molopo of the ASX Listing Rules.[37]
On 19 July 2018, in relation to Keybridge’s proceeding against Molopo[39] to seek further information vis a vis the Orient Transaction, the matter was dismissed by minutes of consent orders (agreed with Molopo) with no order as to costs.
On 24 August 2018, in relation to Keybridge’s proceeding against Molopo and former Molopo Director, Ronnen Rosengart,[40] vis a vis, amongst other matters, oppression of Molopo shareholders, the Court ordered that the proceeding be dismissed with the parties’ costs reserved to the Trial Judge in the matter of Molopo against Messrs Johal, Matthews and Cudmore[38] .
By way of background, Keybridge commenced legal action in September 2017 against Molopo in what it believes to be in the interests of all Molopo shareholders seeking, amongst other matters:
-
Further information in relation to a number of matters including the Orient Transaction, the financial status and technical capacity of Orient and the conduct of the Molopo Board in the management and administration of Molopo – refer Keybridge ASX announcement dated 11 September 2017: Commencement of Legal Action Against Molopo Energy Limited to Access Information; and
-
A number of orders against Molopo and a then Molopo Director (Ronnen Rosengart, who has since resigned) on the basis of oppression by Molopo of its shareholders and breaches by Molopo of the ASX Listing Rules – refer Keybridge ASX announcement dated 15 September 2017: Commencement of Further Legal Proceedings Against MPO and Ronnen Rosengart.
Keybridge’s involvement in the Victorian Supreme Court litigation is therefore now at an end.
Keybridge and Molopo have also agreed that in relation to the proceeding[38,41] where Molopo has replaced Keybridge as Plaintiff, Keybridge’s costs (to be agreed by the parties or as determined by a cost assessor) will be paid out of any funds recovered by Molopo from any source.
In this regard, Keybridge notes that:
-
$692,788 of Keybridge’s Corporate expenses (totalling $1,658,826) was attributable to Molopo related matters incurred during the financial year;
-
$616,227 of these expenses were in turn, attributable to legal costs; and
-
Approximately $400k of costs were attributable to the Supreme Court proceeding, which are potentially recoverable from Molopo, as outlined above.

Takeovers Panel Matter: Molopo Energy Limited 03R, 04R & 05R
(a) Vested Molopo Shares
On 7 July 2017, 3,666,285 shares in MPO were vested in the Commonwealth (on trust for Keybridge) under the declaration and orders of the Panel in the matter of Molopo Energy Limited 03R, 04R & 05R.[42,] These shares will be sold by ASIC with the proceeds of sale accounted to Keybridge (net of the costs, fees and expenses of the sale and any costs, fees and expenses incurred by ASIC and the Commonwealth (if any)). Keybridge remains the second largest shareholder in MPO with 46,017,543 shares (18.478%)[43] .
As these vested 3.67 million MPO shares are held on trust for Keybridge pending sale by ASIC, Keybridge continues to recognise the shares as company assets at the same carrying value per share as its holding of 46 million MPO shares (i.e. 2.6 cents per share as at 30 June 2018), less an estimate (provisionally 2.5%) in respect of selling costs. This has resulted in a provision for impairment expense of $0.369 million being recognised in respect of this 3.67 million parcel of MPO shares for the financial year.
(b) Judicial Review
AFML has applied for a judicial review[44] of the Panel’s decision in Molopo Energy Limited 03R, 04R & 05R. Keybridge has entered a submitting appearance in respect of this proceeding such that Keybridge will submit to any order that the Court may make in the proceeding. This matter is scheduled to be heard in the Federal Court of Australia in Sydney on 22 and 23 October 2018.

KEYBRIDGE CAPITAL LIMITED A.B.N. 16 088 267 190
30 JUNE 2018
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Keybridge generated an overall net gain of $1.737 million from the sale of the Totana Solar Plant assets, the repayment/discharge of various loans owed to Keybridge by the corporate entities which held Totana and the consolidation of the corporate ownership structure vis a vis Totana.
During the year (to completion of the Totana sale on 27 April 2018), Keybridge also received €0.675 million (~A$1.034 million) in cash loan repayments.
Contemporaneously with the completion of the sale of Totana and the repayment of the loans, the Company has also consolidated the corporate ownership structure (referred to above). The Totana assets were owned by BIC Europe Limited ( BIC Europe ). BIC Europe was jointly owned by Keybridge and Global Capital Finance LLC ( GCF ). Upon the completion of the Totana transaction, GCF has agreed to exit its position and BIC Europe is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Keybridge.
By way of background:
-
In 2007/2008, Keybridge financed the development and construction of the Totana ~1.05MWp Solar Photovoltaic Park in the Murcia region in southern Spain.
-
The development was part of a plan by Keybridge to develop a portfolio of European energy infrastructure assets, taking advantage of the attractive (at that time) regulatory environment in Spain for such assets. However, soon after the Totana Solar Plant was completed, the Spanish Government changed the regulation applicable to solar plants and because of this, that plan was no longer regarded as feasible and no further energy infrastructure investments were made by Keybridge in Europe.
-
Whilst the Totana Solar Plant had consistently generated positive cashflows for Keybridge since it was commissioned, the Keybridge Board decided in 2017 that maintaining a single, relatively small solar plant in Europe was not a strategic investment for the Company and so determined to sell the plant. Several interested parties were identified and invited to participate in a competitive bidding process, which was ultimately secured by Eliantus Energy.
-
The Totana Solar Plant assets are held in Spanish corporate entities ( SPVs ), which are, in turn, owned by BIC Europe.
-
BIC Europe was regarded as a jointly controlled entity owned 50:50 by Keybridge’s Australian subsidiary, BIC Infrastructure Capital Pty Limited ( BIC Australia ), and GCF. BIC Europe had been accounted for by Keybridge under the equity method but the investment had been previously impaired to a nil carrying value.
-
Historically, finance was provided by Keybridge to BIC Australia to BIC Europe to the SPVs via a series of loans to fund the development of the project.
-
On 23 April 2018, BIC Europe (the Seller ) entered into a Share Purchase and Assignment of Intragroup Loans Agreement ( SPA ) with Eliantus Energy PV II, S.L ( Buyer ) and Eliantus Energy, S.L ( Guarantor ) pursuant to which, inter alia:
-
(a) The Seller transferred 100% of its shareholding in the SPVs to the Buyer;
-
(b) The Seller assigned 100% of the loan agreements with the SPVs to the Buyer ( Intragroup Loans );
-
(c) The Buyer paid the Seller a Purchase Price of €5.2m with €27,054 allocated towards the price in respect of the shares in the SPVs and the balance of €5,172,946 allocated towards the principal and accrued interest due under the Intragroup Loans;
-
(d) The Buyer paid the Seller €5m upon execution of the SPA – these funds have been repatriated to Keybridge as repayment/discharge of the loans owed by BIC Europe to BIC Australia/Keybridge;
-
(e) A Deferred Payment of €200k is payable by the Buyer 18 months after the execution date – this has been recognised by Keybridge as a consideration receivable asset; and
-
(f) Security for the Deferred Payment is a Guarantee provided by the Guarantor, which is the parent company of the Buyer.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Loan Receivables and Equity – Insurance
In September 2014, Keybridge invested NZ$3.8 million (A$3.4 million) (via NZ$0.109 million (10.13%) equity and NZ$3.691 million notes) into Foundation Life to finance Foundation’s acquisition of Tower Limited’s life insurance business in New Zealand.
Interest of 9% pa is payable under the note, which is redeemable by noteholders in 50 years (May 2064) (which was amended from 10 years (May 2024) in September 2017 at the request of Foundation) or by Foundation (from time to time).
Keybridge received a NZ$0.109 million equity (A$0.105 million) return of capital distribution in March 2015, which (for accounting purposes) reduced the carrying value of this 10.13% equity component to nil. With effect as at the previous (30 June 2017) balance date, the Directors have revalued this equity investment at cost of NZ$0.109 million equity (A$0.103 million), which is supported by the underlying value of Foundation Life.
During the year, Keybridge earned NZ$0.306 million (A$0.282 million) interest income and received cash distributions of NZ$0.301 million (A$0.277 million) from Foundation.
As at 30 June 2018, the loan balance was NZ$3.418m (A$3.135m) (30 June 2017: NZ$3.412 million and A$3.250 million) and Keybridge retains its 10.13% equity interest in Foundation Life valued at A$0.103 million.
Loan Receivables - Private Equity
Keybridge holds a US$4.3 million limited recourse promissory note ( Note ) issued by RPE I Investor LLC ( RPE Investor ) (a subsidiary of Republic Financial Corporation ( RPC )), a US private investment company) secured (via collateral pledged) over RPE Investor’s ~50% Limited Partners’ (contributed capital) interest in the Republic Private Equity I Limited Liability Limited Partnership, a private equity fund (managed by a related party to RPC) with investments in US-based manufacturing/distribution businesses ( RPE Fund ).
By way of background, the Note arose out of a restructure in April 2013 where, as part of arrangements to exit legacy aviation investments[62] , Keybridge restructured its participation in a US closed-end private equity fund which was managed by RPC, which also managed the aviation investment.[63]
Under the April 2013 restructure:
-
Keybridge received US$29.7 million cash from the sale of the Company’s remaining aircraft investments; and
-
Keybridge sold its private equity asset to RPC for US$4.3 million fully funded by a Keybridge loan with recourse only to the asset sold (ie. the Note) - no cash was derived from this transaction.
Keybridge notes that none of the current Board members were involved in the above RPC related restructure.
The principal and accrued interest (at 14.5% pa) under the Note was repayable on maturity on 29 December 2017 (which is capable of extension/re-finance by mutual agreement of the parties).
On 24 August 2017, Keybridge received notice from an RPC Executive ( Republic ) advising that it was ‘highly unlikely that the Note would be satisfied on or before its scheduled maturity’ (on 29 December 2017) and proposing a 3-year extension of the Note term or a ‘buy-out’ (retirement) of the Note for US$0.394 million.
In light of these matters, the Board reduced the carrying value of the Note (receivable) to US$0.394 million (A$0.511 million) as at 30 June 2017, with this value maintained at (30 June 2018) Balance Date and currently. This impairment was advised in KBC’s ASX announcement dated 25 August 2017: Update – Private Equity Loan Receivable.

30 JUNE 2018
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Since August 2017, Keybridge has also received alternative proposals from Republic to settle the Note liability. As at the date of this report, Keybridge has not accepted Republic’s proposals and the parties are in on-going discussions in relation to a mutually acceptable resolution of this matter. Additionally, Keybridge is also reviewing its rights under the Note to call upon the collateral pledged as security (ie. RPE Investor's interest in the RPE Fund).
Loan Receivables – Property
In September 2014, Keybridge took direct control of loans that were held in a fund (where Keybridge was the remaining sole lender) which invested in first ranking mortgage loans over commercial properties.
Keybridge has registered mortgages over strata title lots comprising Conference Facilities at a Hotel located in Manly, Sydney as security for the loans, which are owed by private companies (which are in liquidation).
As at 30 June 2018, the loan was carried at Directors’ valuation (net of impairments) of $0.885 million (30 June 2017: $0.885 million) – this was based on an independent valuation received in respect of the lots in May 2016.
The liquidator’s costs are being funded from income generated from the Conference Facilities.
Other Loans and Receivables
Keybridge has a number of legacy loan receivables due from various Australian and overseas entities (some of which are in liquidation or another form administration). These loans have previously been impaired to nil and are not generally reflected in the Loans and Receivables table (above) or in Note 9 (Loans and Receivables) of the accompanying financial statements.
As such, Keybridge has not historically commented on these Loans and Receivables unless there has been a material development such as the receipt of a material distribution/repayment or a settlement of a dispute with relevant parties.
Keybridge continues to manage and monitor these Loans and Receivables as potential ‘assets’ in this regard.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of Keybridge that occurred during the financial year not otherwise disclosed in this Directors’ Report or the financial statements.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Keybridge intends to continue its investment activities in future years. The results of these investment activities depend upon the performance of the underlying investee entities/loan counterparties and securities in which Keybridge invests. The investments’ performances depend on many economic factors and also industry and investee/counterparty-specific issues. In the opinion of the Directors, it is not possible or appropriate to make a prediction on the future course of markets, the performance of Keybridge’s investments or forecast the likely results of Keybridge’s activities.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
Keybridge is not subject to any particular or significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State legislation.

REMUNERATION REPORT
Post-Employment Benefits: The Company does not presently provide retirement benefits to Key Management Personnel. Other than early termination benefits disclosed in ‘Employment Agreement’ below, Key Management Personnel also have no right to termination payments save for payment of accrued unused annual and long service leave (where applicable) (these accrued employee entitlements are not applicable in respect of Non-Executive Directors). The Company notes that shareholder approval is required where a Company proposes to make a “termination payment” (for example, a payment in lieu of notice, a payment for a post-employment restraint and payments made as a result of the automatic or accelerated vesting of share based payments) in excess of one year’s “base salary” (defined as the average base salary over the previous 3 years) to a director or any person who holds a managerial or executive office.
Performance-Related Benefits and Financial Performance of Company: The current remuneration of Key Management Personnel is fixed, is not dependent on the satisfaction of a performance condition and is unrelated to the Company’s performance.
In considering the Company's performance and its effects on shareholder wealth, Directors have had regard to the data set out below for the latest financial year and the previous four financial years:

(4) Executive Share Plan (ESP)
The Company has an ESP which was approved by shareholders at the 2014 Annual General Meeting ( AGM ) held on 28 November 2014[68] . The ESP was developed to serve as the Company’s principal vehicle to grant long term incentive awards and form a key element of the Company’s total remuneration strategy for directors and selected senior management.
The primary objectives of the ESP are to:
-
(a) assist with the attraction, motivation and retention of directors and senior management and more closely align the interest of directors and senior management with shareholders by matching rewards with the long-term performance of the Company, and accordingly drive the Company’s improved performance;
-
(b) align the incentives provided to participants with current market practice; and
-
(c) provide the Company with flexibility to accommodate changes in the Company’s circumstances and shifts in regulatory and market practice from time to time.
The ESP involves the Company providing interest-bearing limited-recourse loans to eligible participants to purchase ordinary shares in the capital of the Company. As part of the loan arrangements, the Company will take security over those ordinary shares to secure repayment of the loans. Interest will be charged on the loans at a fixed rate of 6.45% per annum for the term of the loans, capitalised monthly. The term of the loans will be 3 years and 3 months. The interest will be recourse to the participant. The loans may be repaid early in certain circumstances, however participants in the ESP remain liable for the entire amount of interest applicable over the loan term.
Further details about the ESP are set out in the Company’s Notice of AGM and Explanatory Statement dated 29 October 2014.
The Company has issued shares to and entered into loan arrangements with previous Key Management Personnel pursuant to the ESP. Further details are set out in:
-
Keybridge’s ASX Announcement dated 19 December 2014: Appendix 3B and Further Detail Regarding Issuance of Loan Funded Shares);
-
Keybridge’s ASX Announcement dated 28 April 2015: Appendix 3B; and
-
Note 14 (Share-Based Payments) in the accompanying financial statements.
The Company has not issued shares to and entered into loan arrangements with Key Management Personnel pursuant to the ESP during the financial year.
No Key Management Personnel are involved in the ESP vis a vis holding or being issued ESP shares.

(9) Voting and Comments on the Remuneration Report at the 2017 AGM
At the Company’s most recent (2017) AGM, a resolution to adopt the prior year (2017) Remuneration Report was put to a vote on a poll and was carried by a majority of votes cast, however, more than 25% of votes cast were against the adoption.[66]
This constituted a "second strike" under the executive remuneration related provisions of the Corporations Act.[69] A “Board Spill Resolution” was put to shareholders at the 2017 AGM and was not carried by a majority of votes cast.
Comments made on the Remuneration Report were addressed by the Chairman at the AGM.
This concludes the audited Remuneration Report.
69 The Corporations Act was amended in June 2011 to introduce the so-called "two-strikes" rule - if at least 25% of the votes cast on the adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive AGM's are against adopting the remuneration report, shareholders will have the opportunity to immediately vote on a "Board Spill Resolution" at the second AGM, as required by section 250V of the Corporations Act. If the Board Spill Resolution is approved, a further meeting of shareholders must be held within 90 days (the Board Re-election Meeting). The directors (save for a managing director, where applicable) of a company will cease to hold office prior to the Board Re-election Meeting but are eligible to stand for re-election at the same. Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties” are restricted from voting on the adoption of the remuneration report or the Board Spill Resolution but are not restricted from voting at the Board Re-election Meeting

Details of the amount of the premium paid in respect of the insurance policies are not disclosed as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.
DIRECTORS’ AND OFFICERS’ DEEDS
In addition to the rights of indemnity provided under the Company’s Constitution (to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ), the Company has also entered into a deed with each of the Directors and the Company Secretary ( Officer ) to regulate certain matters between the Company and each Officer, both during the time the Officer holds office and after the Officer ceases to be an officer of the Company, including the following matters:

During the 2016/2017 financial year, the Company agreed to advance up to $400,000 as loan funds in respect of former Managing Director’s (Nicholas Bolton[70] ) legal costs incurred in circumstances where Mr Bolton’s Director’s Deed with the Company provided a procedure for the advancement of monies in this regard. The Company agreed to increase the advance arrangement by $40,000 to $440,000 during the financial year. As at 30 June 2018, $440,000 (2017: $335,608) has been advanced via payments made to Mr Bolton’s lawyers.
The Board had agreed to advance these funds in accordance with the relevant provision of Mr Bolton’s Director’s Deed and subject also to various terms and conditions agreed with Mr Bolton, including a monetary cap (initially $400,000 and increased to $440,000 at the discretion of the Board), that advances would be provided only as payment of bills rendered by Mr Bolton’s lawyers in relation to the relevant proceedings, that the Company needed to be satisfied that the amount of each legal bill was reasonable, that the Company would have access to Mr Bolton’s lawyers to ensure that it was promptly informed of any material developments in relation to the proceedings and otherwise to enable the Company to assess the likely outcome of those proceedings, that Mr Bolton would be obliged to repay any amounts advanced in various circumstances specified in his Director’s Deed including in any situation in which Mr Bolton is not entitled to be indemnified or advanced those costs, and a provision for review of the position once the outcome of the relevant proceeding is known, including the repayment of all or a portion of the advance (as appropriate).
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF COMPANY
No person has applied for leave of a court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company or intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or any part of such proceedings.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2018
1.2 Basis of Preparation
1.6 Impairment of Assets
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board ( AASB ), Australia Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) . The Company is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements .
Keybridge is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financials/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 dated 24 March 2016. Where financial information presented in Australian Dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand, it is in accordance with Corporations Instrument 2016/191 .
Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
The consolidated financial statements of the Consolidated Entity comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ( IASB ).
Reporting Basis and Financial Statement Presentation
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
1.3 Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of the Company as at 30 June 2018 and the results of its subsidiaries for the year then ended. The Company and its subsidiaries are referred to in this financial report as Keybridge or the Consolidated Entity.
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the Consolidated Entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation.
At each reporting date, the Consolidated Entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets (where applicable) to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets (where applicable) with indefinite lives. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Consolidated Entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
1.7 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 AASB that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not mandatory have not been early adopted.
1.8 Restatement of Comparatives
Upon a review of the internal records of the Consolidated Entity and the presentation in the 30 June 2017 financial report, the Company has determined to change the presentation of certain aspects of the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income to better align with industry practice and the Accounting Standards. The comparative information has been restated to reflect these changes. No additional balance sheet in the Statement of Financial Position is required as the restatement relates only to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and has no impact on the Statement of Financial Position. There is no change to profit before tax, other comprehensive income or earnings/(loss) per share as a result of these presentational changes.
1.4 Comparative Figures
Where required by the Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial period. Refer to Note 1.8 for details of changes made.
1.5 Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

1.9 Summary of Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
The Company has reviewed the new Accounting Standards and Interpretations which have been released but are not yet effective and assessed their impact as follows:
-
AASB 9 will have an impact as the Consolidated Entity has loan and receivable assets. Based on the Company’s initial assessment, the loans and receivables are likely to be measured at fair value through profit or loss under AASB 9. This will require the disclosure of the fair value hierarchy of these loans and receivables in Note 11 (Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments) when AASB 9 is adopted. This anticipated disclosure impact is not considered to be material as the carrying value of loans and receivables approximates their fair values.
-
AASB 15 is not likely to have a material impact on the financial statements as the recognition of Fees revenue is not likely to change under the new standard.
-
AASB 16 is not likely to have a material impact as the Consolidated Entity currently has no operating leases.
All other standards summarised in the table below are not considered to have a material impact on the Consolidated Entity’s results as they are not relevant to the Consolidated Entity’s current activities or transactions.

Except for certain trade receivables, an entity initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not |
beginning on or after 1 January 2018 |
|
| at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. | |||
| Debt instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit | |||
| or loss (FVTPL), amortised cost, or fair value through other | |||
| comprehensive income (FVOCI), on the basis of their contractual cash | |||
| flows and the business model under which the debt instruments are | |||
| held. | |||
| There is a fair value option (FVO) that allows financial assets on initial | |||
| recognition to be designated as FVTPL if that eliminates or significantly | |||
| reduces an accounting mismatch. | |||
| Equity instruments are generally measured at FVTPL. However, | |||
| entities have an irrevocable option on an instrument-by-instrument | |||
| basis to present changes in the fair value of non-trading instruments in | |||
| other comprehensive income (OCI) without subsequent reclassification | |||
| to profit or loss. | |||
| For financial liabilities designated as FVTPL using the FVO, the amount | |||
| of change in the fair value of such financial liabilities that is attributable | |||
| to changes in credit risk must be presented in OCI. The remainder of | |||
| the change in fair value is presented in profit or loss, unless | |||
| presentation in OCI of the fair value change in respect of the liability’s | |||
| credit risk would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or | |||
| loss. | |||
| All other AASB 139 classification and measurement requirements for | |||
| financial liabilities have been carried forward into AASB 9, including the | |||
| embedded derivative separation rules and the criteria for using the | |||
| FVO. | |||
| The incurred credit loss model in AASB 139 has been replaced with an | |||
| expected credit loss model in AASB 9. | |||
| The requirements for hedge accounting have been amended to more | |||

| amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be | |||

| AASB 16 | Leases | AASB 16 requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on- | Annual |

| Leases. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees | periods | ||
| – leases of ’low-value’ assets (eg. personal computers) and short-term | beginning on | ||
| leases (ie. leases with a lease term of 12 months or less). At the | or after 1 | ||
| commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognise a liability to | January 2019 | ||
| make lease payments (ie. the lease liability) and an asset representing | |||
| the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (ie. the right- | |||
| of-use asset). | |||
| Lessees will be required to separately recognise the interest expense | |||
| on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use | |||
| asset. | |||
| Lessees will be required to remeasure the lease liability upon the | |||
| occurrence of certain events (eg. a change in the lease term, a change | |||
| in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate | |||
| used to determine those payments). The lessee will generally recognise | |||

Excess of net assets over cost on acquisition
The Consolidated Entity acquired the balance of the 50% interest in BIC Europe Limited ( BICE ) it did not own on 27 April 2018 (after the sale of the Total Solar Plant and the repayment/discharge of related loans - refer Note 9(a)). The net assets of BICE as at the date of acquisition (as to 50%) was in excess of the consideration paid by the Company and accordingly, the excess of $804,156 has been recognised as revenue. Refer to Note 19.
Accounting policy
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. All revenue is stated net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax ( GST ) except where the amount of GST incurred is not payable to the Australian Tax Office. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
(a) Sale of financial assets, goods and other assets
Revenue from the sale of financial assets, goods or other assets is recognised when the Consolidated Entity has passed control of the financial assets, goods or other assets to the buyer.

2. REVENUE AND INCOME (continued)
Accounting policy (continued)
(b) Fees and interest revenue
Interest revenue is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts the estimated future cash payments and receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the carrying amount of the financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Consolidated Entity estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument, but not future credit losses. Where there are uncertainties in relation to the collectability of interest income, the Consolidated Entity will determine whether income is probable. Where it is not probable, the interest is accordingly not accrued. The Consolidated Entity may receive fees for such services as loan extensions or debt facility management. Fees that are integrated into the effective yield of financial assets are included in the measurement of the effective interest rate.
(c) Dividend revenue
Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. The Consolidated Entity brings dividend revenue to account on the applicable ex-dividend entitlement date.
(d) Other revenues
Other revenues are recognised on an accruals basis.

Accounting policy
The Consolidated Entity operates principally in the Australian geographical area. An operating segment is a component of the Consolidated Entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Consolidated Entity’s other components. All operating segments’ operating results for which discrete financial information is available are regularly reviewed by the Company's Investment Committee (being the 'chief operating decision-maker' under ASAB 8 (Operating Segments)) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance.
Segment results that are reported to the Investment Committee include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.
The Consolidated Entity has two strategic business segments as described below:
- (a) Equity Investments comprise investments in listed and unlisted equities with exposure to various sectors from time to time;

Critical accounting judgement and estimate
The Consolidated Entity is subject to income taxes (and other similar taxes) in Australia. Judgement is required in determining the Consolidated Entity's provision for income taxes.
Deferred tax assets have not been recognised as, in the Directors' opinion, it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Consolidated Entity can utilise the benefits. The utilisation of revenue and capital tax losses are subject to compliance with taxation legislation.
Tax Consolidation
The head entity, Keybridge Capital Limited, and its then Australian controlled entities have formed a tax consolidated group with effect from June 2013. The members of the tax consolidation group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand-alone taxpayer in its own right.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the Company also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets (as appropriate) arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits pertaining to controlled entities within the tax consolidated group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements within the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Consolidated Entity.
Accounting policy
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the income tax rate for each taxing jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses (if applicable).
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each taxing jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. The amount of deferred tax assets 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 Consolidated Entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2018
5. INCOME TAX (continued)
Accounting policy (continued)
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the Consolidated Entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

|---|---|
The Company has 9 million (2017: 15 million) unlisted Executive Share Plan shares and 4,401,047 (2017: 4,401,047) listed Convertible Redeemable Promissory Notes (ASX:KBCPA) which have not been included in the calculation of the weighted average number of ordinary shares as they are considered to be antidilutive pursuant to AASB 133 (Earnings per Share). Potential ordinary shares are considered antidilutive when their conversion to ordinary shares would increase earnings per share or decrease loss per share from continuing operations. The calculation of diluted earnings/loss per share (above) does not assume conversion, exercise, or other issue of potential ordinary shares that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings/(loss) per share.
Accounting policy
Basic earnings/loss per share is determined by dividing the operating result after income tax by the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the financial period.
Diluted earnings/loss per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings/loss per share resulting from the assumption that convertible instruments are converted, that options or warrants are exercised, or that ordinary shares are issued upon the satisfaction of specified conditions.

8. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS (continued)
Convertible redeemable promissory notes (CRPN)
The listed CRPN's (ASX:KBCPA) are measured and recognised as a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. The CRPN's were issued on 30 June 2015 on the following terms:
-
face value of $1.00 each with maturity on 31 July 2020;
-
fixed interest rate of 7% per annum generally payable in arrears on 20 March, 20 June, 20 September and 20 December each year;
-
regarded as an 'equity interest' under Australian tax law with interest payments regarded as a 'nonshare dividends';
-
interest payments are fully franked (where possible) or grossed up with additional cash payments to compensate for any unfranked component and 'qualified' Australian resident holders will have access to franking credits in this regard;
-
ranks ahead of ordinary shares with preferential right to payment of distributions and capital on winding up;
-
at maturity, a holder has the ability to request a conversion of their CRPN to ordinary shares at a 2.5% discount to the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) of the Company's listed shares (ASX:KBC) at the time. The Company may respond to the holder's request by either converting the CRPN into ordinary shares or redeeming the CRPN for cash at face value; and
-
the Company may also elect to convert the CRPN to ordinary shares at a 5% discount to VWAP at maturity or redeem the CRPN for cash on the occurrence of certain trigger events.
For further details, refer to the CRPN Prospectus (dated 17 June 2015) and ATO Class Ruling CR 2015/54.
Critical accounting judgement and estimate
Judgements have been made in the determination of the carrying value and fair value of financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss. In making these judgements, the Consolidated Entity may give additional consideration to adopting the most recent bid price (prior to the balance date) of listed investments suspended from trading on a securities exchange as at balance date and the underlying value of unlisted investments.
Investment in Molopo Energy Limited (ASX:MPO) (suspended from ASX since 25 July 2017)
As at the previous (30 June 2017) balance date, Keybridge adopted a carrying value of $0.145 per share in respect of its 46,017,543 (30 June 2017: 49,683,828) MPO shareholding, which was the closing (last bid) price on ASX as at 26 May 2017 (the day prior to MPO’s suspension on 29 May 2017). MPO shares resumed trading on ASX on 4 July 2017 but were suspended again on 25 July 2017 with a closing price of $0.14 as at 21 July 2017, the date of the last trade on the ASX prior to its suspension. As at the (30 June 2018) balance date, Keybridge has adopted a carrying value of $0.026 per MPO share – which has resulted in a $5.912 million provision for impairment expense being recognised for the financial year.
The revised $0.026 per share carrying value for MPO was based on the Keybridge Board’s judgement of MPO’s estimated net asset backing having regard to the following matters:
-
(a) MPO’s gross cash position of A$15.021 million as at 30 June 2018 (per MPO’s Quarterly Report for the quarter ending 30 June 2018 dated 31 July 2018 and released on ASX on 1 August 2018);
-
(b) MPO’s C$8.4 million (A$8.597 million, at an exchange rate of A$1.00 : C$0.9771 as at 30 June 2018) provision in respect of Canadian litigation matters (per MPO’s Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2017 released on ASX on 8 May 2018);

No value has been ascribed to MPO's 30% shareholding in Drawbridge Energy Holdings Ltd ( Drawbridge ), which was reported to have gross cash of US$14.07 million, investment and other assets of US$4.41 million, current liabilities of US$0.29 million and net assets of US$18.2 million (A$24.62 million, at an exchange rate of A$1.00 : US$0.7391 as at 30 June 2018), as at 31 March 2018 (per MPO’s ASX announcement dated 8 May 2018: Molopo De-Risks By Diversifying its Oil and Gas Exploration Portfolio).
Drawbridge’s cash outflows for the 6 month period between April and September 2018 have not been taken into account - this is estimated to be US$6.61 million (gross) or US$1.1 million (A$1.49 million, at an exchange rate of A$1.00 : US$0.7391 as at 30 June 2018) per month (per MPO's 8 May 2018 ASX announcement).
Keybridge will re-assess the carrying value of its investment in MPO based on further information about MPO’s financial position, as released on ASX by MPO. Further details are in the Directors' Report.
Accounting policy
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on the trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets are valued at fair value through profit and loss where they are acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management and within the requirements of AASB 139: (Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments) will any realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these assets being recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which they arise.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date which is the current bid price. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques, including but not limited to recent arm's length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. A variety of methods and assumptions may be utilised based on market conditions existing at each Balance Date. The Consolidated Entity’s investment portfolio is accounted for as a “financial assets at fair value through profit and loss” and is carried at fair value.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
The Consolidated Entity initially recognises other financial liabilities on the date that they are originated, which is the date the Consolidated Entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Consolidated Entity derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.
The Consolidated Entity classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category. Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. CRPNs are measured at fair value.

- (a) Loan Receivables – Infrastructure : In 2007/2008, Keybridge financed the development and construction of the Totana 1.05MWp Solar Photovoltaic Park in the Murcia region in southern Spain.
On 27 April 2018, the Totana Solar Plant assets in Spain was sold to Eliantus Energy for total consideration of $8.32 million (€5.2 million), with A$8 million (€5 million) paid upfront and A$0.32 million (€0.2 million) payable in 18 months (which has been recognised as a loan receivable at balance date). The initial A$8 million proceeds of sale has been repatriated to Keybridge (in Australia) as part of the repayment/discharge of various loans owed to Keybridge (with a carrying value of A$6.312 million as at 26 April 2018) by the corporate entities (originally set up by Keybridge for this purpose) which held the Totana Solar Plant assets. Refer also Keybridge’s ASX announcement dated 30 April 2018: Sale of Totana Solar Plant Assets.
During the financial year to 27 April 2018 (prior to the sale), Keybridge also received cash loan repayments totalling €0.675 million (A$1.034 million).
- (b) Loan Receivables - Private Equity: Keybridge advanced ~US$4.3m to RPE I Investor LLC ( RPE Investor ) (a subsidiary of Republic Financial Corporation ( RPC ), a US private investment company) under a limited recourse promissory note ( Note ) secured (via collateral pledged) over RPE Investor’s interest in the Republic Private Equity I Limited Liability Limited Partnership, a private equity fund (managed by a related party to RPC) with investments in US based manufacturing/distribution businesses ( RPE Fund ). The principal and accrued interest (at 14.5% pa) under the note was repayable on maturity on 29 December 2017 (the parties are in discussions in relation to a mutually acceptable resolution of this matter). The Note arose out of a restructure in April 2013 where, as part of arrangements to exit legacy aviation investments (made whilst Keybridge was known as Mariner Bridge Investments Limited in 2006/2007) for US$29.7 million cash, Keybridge sold its interest in the RPE Fund for US$4.3 million fully funded by a Keybridge loan with recourse only to that asset sold (i.e. the Note)
On 24 August 2017, Keybridge received notice from an RPC Executive (Republic) advising that it was ‘highly unlikely that the Note would be satisfied on or before its scheduled maturity’ (on 29 December 2017) and proposing a 3-year extension of the Note term or a ‘buy-out’ (retirement) of the Note for US$0.394 million.

9. LOANS AND RECEIVABLES (continued)
- (b) Loan Receivables - Private Equity (continued): In light of these matters, the Board reduced the carrying value of the Note (receivable) to US$0.394 million (A$0.511 million) as at 30 June 2017. This was advised in Keybridge’s ASX announcement dated 25 August 2017: Update – Private Equity Loan Receivable.
Since August 2017, Keybridge has also received alternative proposals from Republic to settle the Note liability. As at the date of this report, Keybridge has not accepted Republic’s proposals and the parties are in on-going discussions in relation to a mutually acceptable resolution of this matter. Additionally, Keybridge is also reviewing its rights under the Note to call upon the collateral pledged as security (ie. RPE Investor's interest in the RPE Fund).
The Board has maintained the carrying value of the Note (receivable) at US$0.394 million (A$0.532 million) as at balance date as it believes that the Note is recoverable on the basis that discussions with Republic are on-going and the Board believes that a value of at least the current carrying value will be recouped.
-
(c) Loan Receivables – Property: Keybridge has registered mortgages over strata title lots comprising Conference Facilities at a Hotel located in Manly, Sydney as security for loans to private companies (which are in liquidation). As at balance date, the loan was carried at $0.985m (2017: $0.885m) (based on the Directors’ judgement) – by reference to an independent valuation received in respect of the lots in May 2016.
-
(d) Loan Receivables – Insurance: Keybridge has invested NZ$3.8m (A$3.4m) (via NZ$0.109m equity and NZ$3.691m notes) into Foundation Life, to finance Foundation’s acquisition of Tower Limited’s life insurance business in New Zealand in 2014. Interest of 9% pa is payable under the note, which is redeemable by noteholders in 50 years (May 2064) (amended in September 2017 from 10 years) or by Foundation (from time to time). During the financial year , Keybridge received NZ$0.301m (A$0.277m) distributions from Foundation. As at balance date, the loan balance is NZ$3.418m (A$3.135m) (2017: NZ$3.41m and A$3.25m).
(e) Loan Receivables - Other : Includes
-
(i) $0.315m (€0.2m) deferred consideration receivable in August 2019, being 18 months after the sale of the Totana Solar Plant asset which was completed on 27 April 2018;
-
(ii) $0.93m (2017: Nil) attributable to 3,666,285 shares in Molopo Energy Limited (ASX:MPO) that were vested in the Commonwealth (on trust for Keybridge) on 7 July 2017 under the declaration and orders of the Takeovers Panel in the matter of Molopo Energy Limited 03R, 04R & 05R. These vested shares will be sold by ASIC with the proceeds of sale accounted to the Company (net of the costs, fees and expenses of the sale and any costs, fees and expenses incurred by ASIC and the Commonwealth (if any)). As these vested MPO shares are held on trust for Keybridge pending sale by ASIC, Keybridge continues to recognise the shares as company assets (as a loan receivable) at the same carrying value per share as its holding of 46 million MPO shares (2.6 cents per share - further details are in Note 8). This has resulted in a provision for impairment expense of $0.436 million being recognised in respect of this 3.67 million parcel of MPO shares for the financial year;
-
(iii) $0.44m (2017: $0.336m) loan advance to a former Director (Nicholas Bolton) - further details are in Note 21(d)(ii).

9. LOANS AND RECEIVABLES (continued)
Critical accounting judgement and estimate
Judgements have been made in the determination of the carrying value, fair value and recoverability of various loans and receivables. In making these judgements, the Consolidated Entity has given additional consideration to loans and receivables that have not been making interest and or principal repayments during the year as discussed below.
Accounting policy
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition Loans and Receivables are measured using the 'effective interest method', less any impairment losses.
The collectability of debts is assessed at reporting date and where required, specific provision is made for any doubtful debts or on a collective basis for a portfolio of loans considered collectively impaired.
Loans (and the related impairment allowance accounts) are normally written off, either partially or in full, when there is no realistic prospect of recovery of these amounts and, for collateralised loans, when the proceeds from the realisation of security have been received.
10. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Consolidated Entity seeks to minimise the effects of financial risks arising in the normal course of the Consolidated Entity’s business.
Financial risk management is undertaken by Management/the Investment Committee ( IC ) under policies approved by the Board. During the year, Management/the IC continued to monitor the Consolidated Entity’s policies and sought Board approval for any necessary changes to manage financial risks. The IC members are Directors, John Patton and William Johnson.
The Board is responsible for overseeing the implementation of, and ensuring there are adequate policies in relation to the Consolidated Entity’s risk management, compliance and control systems. These systems require Management/the IC to be responsible for identifying and managing the Consolidated Entity’s risks in this regard.
The Board has an Audit, Finance and Risk Committee ( AFRC ). The AFRC’s responsibilities include assisting the Board to achieve the Board’s oversight requirements in relation to financial risk management, internal control and risk management.
The Consolidated Entity’s principal financial assets comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, loans and loan receivables, debt instruments/securities and investments in listed and unlisted securities. The Consolidated Entity’s principal financial liabilities comprise the listed CRPN (which were issued as an in-specie return of capital effected in June 2015) and trade and other payables. The Consolidated Entity’s activities expose it to a variety of direct and indirect financial risks comprising market risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and foreign currency risk.

10. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
(a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, equities and property prices will affect the Consolidated Entity’s profitability. The objective of market risk management is to seek to manage and control risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising expected returns.
(i) Price risk
The Consolidated Entity is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the Consolidated Entity and classified in the Statement of Financial Position at fair value through profit or loss. The Consolidated Entity may also be indirectly exposed to commodity price risk in respect of its underlying investments.
The value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual instrument, its issuer or factors affecting all instruments in the market. The Consolidated Entity will always be subject to market risk as it invests its capital in securities that are not risk free. This is reflected in the market price of these securities which can and will fluctuate. The Consolidated Entity may endeavour to manage this risk through entering into derivative contracts, futures, options or swaps (as applicable).
Equity price risk is also managed by ensuring that investment activities are undertaken in accordance with Board established mandate limits and investment strategies.
Sensitivity analysis
The Consolidated Entity has performed a sensitivity analysis on its exposure to equity securities price risk for its listed financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks. The ASX/S&P 200 Accumulation Index was utilised as the benchmark for the investment portfolio.

| Profit | or loss | Equity | ||

| 5% decrease | (357,770) | (586,637) | (357,770) | (586,637) |
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Consolidated Entity is exposed to interest rate risk primarily in cash held in interest bearing instruments. The weighted average interest rate of the cash deposits for the year is 1.65%.
The Consolidated Entity’s Loans and Receivables are generally at fixed rates and where applicable, asset-specific debt may be 'term matched' with fixed interest rates to endeavour to hedge those specific cash flows. The Consolidated Entity’s policy is to ensure that, where appropriate, all material interest rates in relation to non-recourse financing within an investment are fixed for the term of the non-recourse financing.
The Consolidated Entity may be entitled to receive a fixed rate of interest in relation to its financial assets. Interest income received as cash or, where there is a reasonable probability of receipt, accrued as income, are recognised in the profit and loss statements.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments
A change of 100 basis points in interest rates throughout the reporting period would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates remain constant. As at 30 June 2018 the Consolidated Entity is exposed to cash-on-hand deposit interest rates. Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments are as follows:
| Profit or loss | Profit or loss | Equity | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 2017 | 2018 | 2017 | |

| Cash flow sensitivity (net) | (50,080) | (14,145) | - | - |
(b) Credit risk
The Consolidated Entity is exposed to credit risk in the event that a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations in relation to the Consolidated Entity’s investments or deposits with banks and other financial institutions.
The Consolidated Entity manages ongoing credit risk by monitoring the performance of investments, the cyclical impact of the underlying asset class, and financial health of counterparties, banks and other financial institutions.
Trade receivables
The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount of assets, net of any provision for doubtful debts of those assets, as disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The Consolidated Entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single trade debtor.
Cash and cash equivalents
Credit risk for cash deposits is managed by holding cash with reputable financial institutions (predominantly Australian banks).
The carrying amount of the Consolidated Entity’s financial assets represents its maximum credit exposure. The Consolidated Entity’s credit risk exposure relates mainly to the following assets at the reporting date:
| Cash and cash equivalents Loans and receivables Trade and other receivables |
2018 2017 $ $ 5,007,980 1,414,476 5,400,908 11,835,100 106,038 406,847 |

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2018
10. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
The Consolidated Entity’s most significant counterparty exposure relates to non-current Loans and Receivables totaling $5.401 million as at 30 June 2018 (2017: $11.835 million).
Within Private Equity, the Consolidated Entity has granted a loan which is secured by interests held in a private equity fund (which hold investments in US-domiciled manufacturing/distribution businesses). Investments made by the fund may have senior debt at the investment level and as such, the loan investment is indirectly impacted by changes in credit markets that may affect investments held by the fund.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Entity may encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Consolidated Entity has CRPNs on issue and otherwise has no borrowings. The Consolidated Entity's non-cash investments can be realised to meet payables arising in the normal course of business and to meet the quarterly interest payments to CRPN holders. The Company may elect to convert the CRPN into ordinary shares (at any time and at maturity). Refer Note 8 for further details in relation to the CRPN.
The current financial liabilities (ie. payables) have a maturity obligation of not more than 30 days. The non-current financial liabilities (ie. CRPN, inclusive of assumed accrued interest) have maturity obligations as follows:
| CRPN - expected cash outflow Not more than 1 year Longer than 1 year but not longer than 4 years |
2018 2017 $ $ 308,073 308,073 4,709,120 5,017,194 |
|---|---|
| 5,017,193 5,325,267 |
(d) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk arises from assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency that is not the Consolidated Entity’s functional currency, being Australian dollars (AUD ). The Consolidated Entity has a significant loan receivable denominated in New Zealand dollars ( NZD ) (Insurance) (refer Note 9), material investments denominated in US dollars ( USD ) and minor investments denominated in other currencies. The Consolidated Entity also holds cash reserves denominated in foreign currencies from time to time, with a material exposure to Euros ( EUR ) at balance date. The Consolidated Entity does not hedge its assets denominated in foreign currencies and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange ( FX ) movements when the value of such assets are translated into Australian dollars. Any loss or gain arising on translation is recorded in the profit or loss statement. The Consolidated Entity’s exposure to foreign currency risk at balance date was as follows:
| AUD equivalents 2018 Cash and cash equivalent Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Loans and Receivables Total asset exposure |

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value hierarchy
The following tables present the Consolidated Entity’s financial assets and liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at balance date categorised by the following levels:
-
(i) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
(ii) Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and
-
(iii) Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The investment in Molopo Energy Limited (ASX:MPO) has transferred from category Level 2 to Level 3 due to MPO's suspension from ASX during the year (since 25 July 2017) and the adoption of a carrying value as at balance date based on the Directors' judgment (refer Note 8 and Note(9)(e)(iii)).
Level 3 fair value measurements
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

Accounting policy
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at balance date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Consolidated Entity is the current bid price; the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-thecounter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques including but not limited to recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. The Consolidated Entity may use a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance date. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for other financial instruments.
The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Consolidated Entity for similar financial instruments.
The Consolidated Entity’s “financial assets at fair value through profit and loss” and “financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss” is carried at fair value based on the quoted last bid prices at the reporting date (refer Note 8).

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Valuation techniques
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques such as the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.
The difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the Loans and Receivables is as a result of discounting the estimated future cash flows of the loan and receivable using prevailing market rates i.e. if the Consolidated Entity were to provide new loans and advances or acquire new borrowing facilities as at balance date instead of the original effective interest rate.

This comprises the portion of the fair value of the Employee Share Plan shares recognised as an expense.
Foreign currency translation reserve
Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entities are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve as described in the accounting policy note below and accumulate in a separate reserve within equity. The cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss when the net investment is disposed of.
Accounting policy
Profit reserve
An increase in the Profits Reserve will arise when the Company generates a net profit (after tax) for a relevant financial period (eg. half year or full year) which the Board determines to credit to the Company’s Profits Reserve. Dividends may be paid out of (and debited from) the Company’s Profits Reserve, from time to time.

Accounting policy (continued)
Foreign currency translation reserve
The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
(i) assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;
-
(ii) income and expenses for Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and
(iii) all resulting exchange differences are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.

On 28 November 2014, shareholders approved the Company's Executive Share Plan ( ESP ). For accounting purposes (under AASB 2 (Share-based Payment)), the ESP shares were treated as options over shares in the Company with the 'option' expiry date being the maturity date in respect of the ESP loans granted to holders to fund the cost of the ESP shares issued.
The ESP involved the Company providing interest-bearing limited-recourse loans to fund the cost of fully paid ordinary shares issued to eligible executives and employees, typically with vesting conditions. Under the ESP loan arrangements, the Company took security over the relevant ESP shares, which are unlisted and held in escrow until repayment of the relevant loans. The applicable interest rate was 6.45% per annum, capitalised monthly. The loans were repayable on 31 December 2017 (with a facility for earlier payment in accordance with the terms of the ESP loan arrangements, including in the event the executive/employee ceased employment with the Company). The principal amount of the ESP loan is with limited-recourse against the ESP shares issued and the accrued interest component is full-recourse.

14. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS (continued)
As the ESP loans were created in respect of newly issued ESP shares (as opposed to being advanced to acquire existing shares on-market), shareholders were not exposed to any cash loss risk arising from nonrepayment of any such loans. Further details about the ESP are contained in the Company's ASX announcement dated 19 December 2014 (Appendix 3B and Further Detail Regarding Issuance of Loan Funded Shares) and in the Company's Notice of AGM released on ASX on 19 October 2014.
Accounting policy
Shared-based compensation benefits were provided to relevant Executive Directors (after receipt of shareholder approval) and other executives/employees under the Company's Executive Share Plan ( ESP ) (approved by shareholders on 28 November 2014). Shares issued under the ESP were treated as options over shares in the Company, in accordance with AASB 2 (Share-based Payment).
The fair value of performance rights granted were recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount expensed were determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, which included any market performance conditions and the impact of any nonvesting conditions but excluded the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions.
Non-market vesting conditions were included in assumptions about the number of options that were expected to vest. Total expense was recognised over the vesting period, which was the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions were to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revised its estimates of the number of options that were expected to vest based on applicable non-marketing vesting conditions. The Company recognised the impact of any revisions to the original estimates in profit or loss with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Accounting policy
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Consolidated Entity has control. The Consolidated Entity controls an entity when it 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 assumed by the Consolidated Entity and are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Consolidated Entity.
Australian controlled entities have a June financial year-end. Foreign controlled entities have a December financial year-end. All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the Consolidated Entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation.

On 27 April 2018, the Company acquired the balance of the 50% interest in Bridge Infrastructure Capital Pty Limited ( BICPL ) in consideration of $1,101. The following companies are the wholly-owned subsidiaries of BICPL:
-
(i) Bridge Infrastructure Capital (Midlum) Pty Limited ( BICM ); and

There was no goodwill arising from acquisition as the net assets of BICE, which was in excess of the consideration paid by the Company to the extent of $804,156, has been recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
Accounting policy
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Consolidated Entity, liabilities incurred by the Consolidated Entity to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Consolidated Entity in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred. At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

Accounting policy
Associate entities are entities over which the Consolidated Entity has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanied by a holding of between approximately 20% and 50% of the voting rights in the same. An investment in an Associate entity in the consolidated financial statements is accounted for under the 'equity method' under AASB 128 (Investments in Associates). On initial recognition, an investment in an Associate entity is recognised at cost - for an investment which was classified as fair value through profit or loss, any gains or losses previously recognised are reversed through profit or loss. Under this method, the Consolidated Entity’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of an Associate entity is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment.
Dividends or trust distributions from an Associate entity are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and in the Statement of Financial Position, they reduce the carrying amount of the investment. When the Consolidated Entity’s share of losses in an Associate entity equals or exceeds its interest in the Associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Consolidated Entity does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the Associate.
Where applicable, unrealised gains on transactions between the Consolidated Entity and an Associate entity is eliminated to the extent of the Consolidated Entity’s interest in the Associate entity. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. The accounting policies of Associates are aligned to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Consolidated Entity, where practicable.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Consolidated Entity is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report.

We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| Key Audit Matter | How the scope of our audit responded to the Key Audit Matter |
|---|---|
| Loans and receivables As at 30 June 2018 the carrying value of loans and receivables were $5.40m, net of allowances for impairment losses of $10.68m as disclosed in Note 9. The assessment of the recoverable value of these loans and receivables requires significant judgement in respect of assumptions such as making estimates of interest and principal repayments and the recoverability of loans, on a specific basis. |
Our procedures included, but were not limited to: • Evaluating the key controls management have in place in relation to the estimate of the recoverable value of loans; • Challenging the assumptions and methodology used to determine the specific allowances; • Evaluating recoverability of loans based on expected future cash inflows, such as estimate of interest and principal repayments from loans; and • Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures in Note 9 to the financial statements. |
| Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss As at 30 June 2018, financial assets designated as fair value through profit or loss were valued at $7.28m, as disclosed in Note 8. Included within this balance is an investment in Molopo Energy Limited (“MPO”) valued at $1.19m. Significant judgement is involved in estimating the fair value of this instrument. |
In conjunction with our internal valuations experts, our procedures included, but were not limited to: • Assessing management’s estimations and judgements adopted; • Ensuring that the accounting treatment was in compliance with the applicable accounting standards; • Reviewing legal correspondence and regulatory announcements on MPO related matters and considering the impact on the management assumptions used in calculating MPO’s fair value; and • Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures in Notes 8 and 11 to the financial statements. |

The directors of the Consolidated Entity are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Consolidated Entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Consolidated Entity’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors of the Entity.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Consolidated Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Consolidated Entity to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Consolidated Entity’s audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
