U.S. MASTERS HOLDINGS LIMITED Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2015 Expressed in Australian Dollars
The directors present their report together with the financial statements of U.S. Masters Holdings Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) for the 12 months ended 30 June 2015.
Principal Activity
The principal activity of the Group during the financial period was investment, no significant change in the nature of that activity has occurred during the year.
Review and results of operations
During the period the Group continued to conduct its investment activities while continuing to explore other opportunities that Directors believe may result in an increase in shareholder value. Global equity markets experienced significant volatility over the year to 30 June 2015.
In the 12 months to 30 June 2015 the Group's investments were not traded generating $1,000 in unrealized gains (2014: $4,000 losses). This investment result was combined with income of $1,000 from interest income (2014: $8,000). At 30 June 2015 the Group’s equity portfolio had a market value of $3,000. The Group has restricted its investments in equities and has utilised cash balances.
The operating loss of the Group after income tax for the year was $359,000 (2014: $456,000).
The net liability value of U.S. Masters Holdings Limited was $221,000 as at 30 June 2015 compared with net assets of $125,000 at 30 June 2014.
The Company did not issue any shares to directors in lieu of paying directors fees for the financial year (2014: 293,333 shares each issued to 3 directors, a total of 879,999 shares, at an issue price of $0.15 per share. The 4th director waived any entitlement to the issue of shares in lieu of paying directors fees).
On 21 August 2014 a facility was put in place whereby the Company can draw down up to $500,000. $250,000 was drawn by 30 June 2015. Under International Financial Reporting Standards this amount is classified as a liability until such time as the option to convert to repay the facility with equity is exercised and the number of shares to repay this facility can be determined.
The performance of specific investments and of the stock market in general and the expenses associated with operating the Group continued to be the most significant features contributing to the operating performance. The expenses of the Group for the year relate primarily to investigating potential long term investments for the Group and maintaining the Company as a listed entity on the ASX.
The financial reports have been compiled in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Significant Changes in State of Affairs
Other than set out in this Report there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group.

Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2015
Expressed in thousands of Australian Dollars
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
U.S. Masters Holdings Limited was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on 14 May 1990 under the International Business Companies Act (Cap. 291). The liability of the members is limited by shares. The Company maintains its Registered Office in the British Virgin Islands.
The financial statements are presented in thousands of Australian Dollars (June 2014: Australian Dollars).
The Group has determined that its functional currency is Australian dollars (June 2014: Australian Dollars).
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Group’s financial statements are set out below:
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements of U.S. Masters Holdings Limited comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). They have been prepared under the historical cost accounting convention.
The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Group and are consistent with those of the previous year. Standards issued and effective for the period ending 30 June 2015 have been adopted and do not have a significant effect on the Group’s financial statements.
For the year ended 30 June 2015, the Group reported a net loss of $373,000 (2014: $456,000) and net operating cash outflows of $316,000 (2014: $302,000). The operating cash outflows and investment activities have been funded by cash at bank and $250,000 of the available $500,000 facility (Note 6).
The balance of cash at bank of $53,000 (2014 $119,000) and the remaining $250,000 loan facility may not be sufficient to meet the Group’s operating and administrative expenditure, for the next 12 months. To continue as a going concern, the Group may require additional funding to be secured from sources including but not limited to:
-
a further equity capital raising; and/or
-
the provision of additional funding arrangements from related parties
Having carefully assessed the uncertainties relating to the likelihood of securing additional funding, the Group’s ability to effectively manage their expenditures and cash flows from operations, the Directors believe that the Group will continue to operate as a going concern for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements (continued) for the year ended 30 June 2015
Expressed in thousands of Australian Dollars
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(a) Basis of preparation (continued)
In the event that the assumptions underpinning the basis of preparation do not occur as anticipated, there is uncertainty whether the Group will continue to operate as a going concern. If the Group is unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. No adjustments have been made to the financial report relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.
The following standards and interpretations have been issued by the IASB but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Group for the period ending 30 June 2015:
IFRS 9 Financial instruments addresses classification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets and liabilities. This standard will be effective 1 July 2015.
The Company does not expect this or any other standards that have been issued but are not yet effective to have a significant effect on the Group’s financial statements
(b) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and balances with banks and brokers with maturities of three months or less.
(c) Investments
Investments are carried at fair value. Any increases or decreases in carrying values are recognised in the financial statements as an unrealized gain or loss.
Investments in securities traded on a securities exchange are valued at the last reported bid price on the day of valuation or, if there has been no sale on such exchange on the date on which the valuation is being made, then at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices on such exchange on such date.
Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last bid price if the security is reported or, if not reported, at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Restricted securities and other securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value.
(e) Investment transactions and income recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date on which the order to buy or sell is executed). Gains or losses arising from the sale of investments are determined using the cost basis. Income from investments is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is recorded as earned and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(f) Foreign currency
The Group has determined that its functional currency is Australian dollars (June 2014: Australian Dollars).
Transactions in currencies other than the Group’s functional currency are converted at the rate of exchange ruling at the transaction date. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the spot rate at the reporting date. Resulting exchange differences are recognised in the result for the period.
Foreign exchange differences arising from translation of transactions in the functional currency into the reporting currency are reported in the foreign currency translation reserve.
(g) Facility
Facility draw downs are treated as a financial liability for accounting purposes since they are repayable in cash or for a variable number of shares. They are recognised when notice is given to Michael Davies and recorded at proceeds received, which represents fair value of the financial liability at that date. Refer to Note 6 for more details.
(h) Prepayments
Prepayments are carried at amortised cost less any provision for impairment. These are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after balance date, which are classified as non-current.
(i) Trade payables and accrued expenses
Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and due to their short-term nature they are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(j) Income tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the current period's taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:
► When the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. ► When the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
► When the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
When the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(j) Income tax (continued)
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
(k) Share-based payment transactions
The Group provides benefits to its employees (including key management personnel) in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date).
The charge to the statement of comprehensive income for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding entry to equity.
(l) Share Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

The Company invests in listed investments as part of the normal course of business.
Fair value
The Company has available to it various methods in estimating the fair value of listed investments. The methods comprise:
Level 1 the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.
Level 2 the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quotes prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). Level 3 the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The fair value of the listed investments was calculated using the level 1 method.
The carrying values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximates their respective net fair values, determined in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in note 2 to the annual financial statements.

On 21 August 2014 a facility was put in place whereby the Company can draw down up to $500,000. $250,000 was drawn by 30 June 2015. This facility was provided my Michael Davies a Director and related party to the Company. Under International Financial Reporting Standards this amount is classified as a liability until such time as the option to convert to repay the facility with equity is exercised and the number of shares to repay this facility can be determined.
The facility is repayable at the Company's option by either repayment of the amount drawn with an uplift of 10% per annum from the draw down date to the repayment date on amounts drawn, or by issue of shares in the Company. The number of ordinary shares to be issued is calculated by dividing the total amount drawn down by the issue price of the last issue of fully paid ordinary shares to non related parties in the Company after the date of the agreement, uplifted by 25%. If the facility was converted to shares on 30 June 2015, the uplift would be $12,000.
The carrying value of the drawn down facility approximates fair value.

10. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
As approved by shareholders in General Meeting on 19 December 2012 4,600,000 ordinary shares were issued to the U.S. Masters Executive Share Plan Trust on behalf of personnel to be held in conformity with the Share Plan Rules, satisfied by the issue of treasury shares held by the Company. Included in this issue was the issue of 1,000,000 ordinary shares to the U.S. Masters Executive Share Plan Trust on behalf of each director. The shares are subject to detailed Share Plan Rules which include:
Each tranche of Shares will not be able to be released from the Share Plan unless and until the following performance hurdles have been achieved:
(i) tranche one = When the U.S. Masters Holdings Ltd's share price (as traded on the ASX) has exceeded $0.40 per share;
(ii) tranche two = When the U.S. Masters Holdings Ltd's share price (as traded on the ASX) has exceeded $0.60 per share;
(iii) tranche three = When the U.S. Masters Holdings Ltd's share price (as traded on the ASX) has exceeded $0.80 per share; and
(iv) tranche four = When the U.S. Masters Holdings Ltd's share price (as traded on the ASX) has exceeded $1.00 per share.
The assessed fair value of shares at grant date was calculated using a binomial option pricing model. The model takes into account a number of factors including the exercise price, the term of the shares, the vesting and performance criteria, the non tradeable nature of the shares, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the shares.
The grant date for the shares was 3 January 2014. The shares have no set expiry date. The fair value of the shares has been calculated on an assumed term of 3 years and the fair value calculated is being expensed over 3 years. The risk free rate in calculating the fair value of the shares was assumed to be 2.5%. The estimated volatility in calculating the fair value of the shares was assumed to be 25%. The fair values calculated were:
-
tranche 1: 3.01cents per share;
-
tranche 2: 0.34 cents per share;
-
tranche 3: 0.005 cents per share;
-
tranche 4: 0.001 cents per share.
An amount of $13,000 was recorded as an expense of share based payments (2014: $13,000).

-
(a) The Group paid rent of $20,691 (2014: $20,691) and administration fees of $26,400 (2014: $26,400) to Taurus SM Holdings Pty Ltd, a company of which Michael Davies and Gordon Galt are directors.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial assets of the Group include cash and cash equivalents, investments and interest, prepayments and dividends receivable. Financial liabilities comprise accrued expenses. Accounting policies for financial assets and liabilities are set out in note 2.
(a) Fair values
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, interest, prepayments and dividends receivable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of these instruments. Investments are carried at fair value.
The Group classifies fair value measurement using the hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Investments held by the Group are fair valued using Level 1 measurements within the hierarchy. The fair value of the investments held by the Group is estimated by using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The basis for determining fair values is disclosed in note 2.
There are no off-balance sheet financial assets or liabilities at yearend.
(b)
Credit risk
The Group purchases equities through the ASX or direct from the investee or its broker as part of a placement. The credit risk is through settlement risk with the ASX, the investee company or its broker.
At the yearend there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset. The Group believes that there has been no impairment required on any of the financial assets.
(c)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the Group’s management of working capital. It is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due.
The Group’s policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash plus a cash buffer to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due. To achieve this aim, it seeks to maintain cash balances to meet expected requirements.
The Board receives information regarding cash balances. At the balance sheet date it is indicated that the Group expected to have sufficient liquid resources to meet its obligations under reasonably expected circumstances.

(d) Foreign exchange currency risk
The Group’s year end statement of financial position exposure to foreign currency risk was as follows, based on notional amounts. The following are financial assets and liabilities in currencies other than the functional currencies of the entity in which they are recorded:
| Cash and cash equivalents Prepayments and Debtors Total statement of financial position exposure Income statement gains/(losses) of 10% weakening of Australian dollar against USD, AUD Income statement gains/(losses) of 10% strengthening of Australian dollar against USD, AUD |

|
| 2 1 |
|
| (2) (1) |

*This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.
(e) Interest risk
At balance date, the Group was not exposed to floating weighted average interest rates on short term deposits (2014: deposits at call 2.65% on $105,000). All other financial assets and liabilities are noninterest bearing.
At balance date, the Group has no significant exposure to changes in interest rates.

Independent auditor's report to the members of US Masters Holdings Limited
Report on the financial report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of US Masters Holdings Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration.
Directors' responsibility for the financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with International Accounting Standards and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity's preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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 entity's internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion the financial report of US Masters Holdings Limited is in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, including giving a true and fair view of the company's financial position as at 30 June 2015 and of its performance for the year ended on that date.

Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2(a) in the financial report which describes the principal conditions that raise doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. As a result of these matters, there is material uncertainty whether the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern, and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
