Hogans Resources Pty Ltd Concise Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2016
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) General information
Hogans Resources Pty Ltd (the Company) is a company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia, and which was incorporated on the 10[th] day of June 2015.
The financial period covers the period from 10 June 2015 to 30 June 2016, a period longer than one year. In the 20 day period from incorporation (10 June 2015) to 30 June 2015 the Company was inactive.
The nature of the operations and principal activity of the Company is to acquire interests (directly and indirectly) and manage mineral exploration projects.
(b) Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The Group is a for-profit, private sector entity which is not publicly accountable. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements for the Group are tier 2 general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements (AASB – RDRs) .
The general purpose financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 29 August 2016.
Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis under the historical cost convention. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Adoption of new and revised standards
In the period ended 30 June 2016, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group’s operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. It has been determined by the Directors that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group’s business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.
The Directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the period ended 30 June 2016. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group.
Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the commercial realisation of the future potential of the Company’s assets and discharge of its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Although, the Company recorded a loss of $14,724 for the period and had a net current asset deficiency of $3,686, the Directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis for the following reasons:
-
(i) The Company is advanced with a corporate transaction (as explained in Note 8) which will see it acquired 100% by US Masters Holdings Limited, and which will result in the Company being appropriately funded for at least the next 12-18 months.
-
(ii) Although, the Company has annual exploration commitments (as explained in Note 7) it also has contractual arrangements in place for active prospecting to be undertaken on its tenements which will substantially meet those commitments.
-
(iii) In the event that (i) does not eventuate, the Company is confident in its capacity to raise additional equity funds.
12
Hogans Resources Pty Ltd Concise Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2016
Should the company be unable to raise capital, there is a material uncertainty whether the company will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore, whether it will be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial report does not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the company not continue as a going concern.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and that management exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements is in relation to the accounting for exploration expenditures.
(c) Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied:
-
(i) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and
-
(ii) at least one of the following conditions is also met:
-
(a) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or
-
(b) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortisation of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.
(d) Revenue
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.
(i) Rendering of consulting services - revenue arising from consulting services transactions are recognised by the Group on an accruals basis as and when services have been provided. Provision is (where applicable) made for uncollectible debts arising from such services.
(e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash reserves in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand.
13
Hogans Resources Pty Ltd Concise Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2016
(f) Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the net asset or part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, net of transaction costs except for those financial assets
(g) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are carried at cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
(h) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified.
(i) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares and options are classified as contributed 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.
2. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Independent auditor's report to the members of Hogans Resources Pty Ltd
Report on the financial report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Hogans Resources Pty Ltd, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the period 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 Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Corporations Act 2001 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.
Independence
In conducting our audit we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the directors’ report.

Opinion
In our opinion the financial report of Hogans Resources Pty Ltd is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the financial position of Hogans Resources Pty Ltd at 30 June 2016 and of its performance for the period ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1(b) 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.
