DIRECTORS’ REPORT

==> picture [125 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

Your Directors present their report on the consolidated entity consisting of Kogi Iron Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2020. Throughout the report the consolidated entity is referred to as the Group.

Principal activities

During the financial year the principal continuing activities of the Group consisted of test work activities and evaluation studies at the Agbaja Cast Steel Project in Kogi state, Federal Republic of Nigeria (“Nigeria”) (“Agbaja Project”).

Review of operations

The loss for the Group after tax amounted to $3,096,480 (30 June 2019: $2,537,274).

The loss for the year ended 30 June 2020 was primarily attributable to the exploration and evaluation expenditure of $633,947 (2019: $893,510). Other net operating costs for the year were $2,462,533 (2019: $1,650,361) associated with the group’s ongoing evaluation studies for the Agbaja Cast Steel Project in Nigeria.

During the year, the Company has incurred net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $2,343,222 (2019: $2,752,816) and as at 30 June 2020, the Company had net assets of $1,387,677 (2019: net liabilities $419,376). On the matter of the Company continuing as a going-concern (refer note 27(a)(i) – “going concern” in the attached accounts for details), at the date of this report the Directors believe that there are currently sufficient funds to meet the Company’s immediate working capital requirements.

Agbaja Project

Facilitation by the Government of Nigeria

Despite COVID-19 restrictions, Kogi Iron and KCM Mining have maintained regular communication with the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development (MMSD), and other relevant Nigerian Government Departments. The Company has received strong, tangible support from the Nigerian Government for its advanced and wholly owned Agbaja Cast Steel Project, Nigeria. A formal letter was received from the Honourable Minister – Arc. Olamilekan Adgebite stating that MMSD is willing to facilitate with other Ministries on behalf of Kogi Iron when necessary. It is clear MMSD is aligned with the Company in its near-term focus on critical path value drivers for the Agbaja Cast Steel Project, especially in obtaining a competitive gas supply contract and market entry policy for replacement of steel imports.

Government facilitation recognises the importance of the Agbaja Steel Project as a “Project of National Significance” and its role to support economic growth in Nigeria. Key Project value drivers to be addressed include cost and availability of natural gas and electricity supply, market entry investment policy, security of people and assets, and potential business synergy to recapitalisation of the nearby ‘mothballed’ Ajaokuta Steel Works.

The Company is focusing communications with MMSD on these near-term value drivers for the Agbaja Steel Project. As part of discussions, David Turvey (Managing Director, Kogi Iron) was an invited panellist at a recent MMSD webinar on downstream processing in the Nigerian mining industry, then as a panellist at the 26th Nigerian Economic Summit Pre-Summit Webinar themed “The “New Normal”– Opportunities for the Nigerian Mining Industry”. The Government’s webinars recognise the Agbaja Steel Project as a key example of a ‘pioneer downstream industry’ to replace costly steel imports and stimulate economic growth.

Based on inputs by energy consultants and advisors, the Company has held discussions and initiated information exchange with the Gas Aggregation Company Nigeria (GACN) as the basis of an application for a gas supply agreement to be sourced from the Ajaokuta – Kaduna – Kano gas pipeline (AKK).

Funding Application to MMSD & World Bank - MinDiver Project (MinDiver)

On MMSD’s request, the Company submitted a preliminary application for MinDiver Project funding to focus on the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) aspects of the Company’s Feasibility Study activities and the Community Development Agreement.

The MinDiver Project team holds six-monthly status reviews of its activities, the impacts of COVID-19 and for planning of future work programs and budgets. Subject to COVID-19 restrictions, virtual meetings were held by the World Bank (Washington DC) and the MinDiver Project Committee to progress the Company’s funding application. Claire Ireland – Australian High Commissioner, Nigeria, has expressed interest to attend meetings in recognition of support and funding by the Australian Government for World Bank activities.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

==> picture [125 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

During August 2020, Mr Alabi Samuel – Country Manager, KCM Mining Limited, visited the Federal capital, (Abuja) to meet with officers of the MMSD – World Bank MinDiver Project. He discussed the Company’s proposal for MinDiver Project funding of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) programs related to iron ore mining and processing on the Agbaja Plateau. The aims and objectives of these MinDiver Project ESG programs reinforce the Company’s commitment to ‘sustainability best practice with zero waste targets’ and support the Community Development Agreement (CDA).

Subsequently, the MinDiver Project team requested the Company provide it with additional detail and a formal application for MinDiver funding to comply with criteria for World Bank support including:

  • a) Environmental and social safeguards, related to current EIS documents and approvals.

  • b) Detailed stakeholder engagement plan and grievance redress mechanism, related to current Community Development Agreement. c) Labour management plan and potential security risks. The Company is preparing this formal application for MinDiver Project funding and are excited by the opportunity to showcase the benefits derived from ‘best practice’ mining to the local community and the Nigerian people.

Environmental, Social & Governance

The KCM Mining team continues to coordinate activities on our Community Development Agreement (CDA). In the second half of the year, the KCM team and the Board provided information to the Community on the status and needs of the Feasibility Study and the planned timetable.

The Agbaja Plateau Communities and the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development (MMSD) officials were briefed on KCM’s planned small-scale trial iron ore mining commencing in April 2020. Briefing on the scope of work reinforced our ongoing commitment, wherever possible, to local education, employment, health & safety, infrastructure and the environment. Contract employment was provided to members of the local communities in security roles of personnel and equipment and in assisting the contractor.

Following the collapse of the initial Irimi–Okpaka water borehole, a new geophysical survey was conducted to define the sub-surface aquifer and a replacement borehole was drilled to 120 metres using a local contractor. Ongoing site works include pump drawdown tests and water quality tests, prior to reconnecting and filling of header tanks to restore availability of clean water for the local community. These works are important tangible evidence of the Company’s commitment to the local community.

Small-Scale Trial Iron Ore Mining

During April, the Company commenced excavation of a small-scale trial iron ore mining pit ~30m x 30m x 5m deep. The mining will provide stockpiles of overburden and iron ore for use in ore characterisation tests to support iron ore reserve estimates, and mining and beneficiation studies required for the Feasibility Study.

Trial iron ore mining was stopped in May until late August due to impacts of frequent, heavy monsoonal rains and the COVID-19 risks of mobilising equipment and workforce. Mining was restarted in September and received the traditional blessing by His Royal Highness, the Maasai of Agbaja Plateau. Completion of mining is scheduled by the end of September at no additional cost to budget, weather permitting.

Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) & Next Steps

As announced earlier in 2020, Kogi Iron estimates the completion of a BFS for the Agbaja Steel Project will require approximately US$8 million in funding. The COVID-19 pandemic and related uncertain equity market conditions globally have made it difficult and delayed the Company’s efforts to raise the full funding for the BFS.

Given continued volatile equity markets, the Company believes that raising funds in the least dilutive manner is best achieved by seeking funding in smaller increments, with initial funding sufficient to commence early work and focus on the key drivers of value creation in the Agbaja Steel Project:

  • a) Technical – steel refining test work for removal of phosphorus A key focus of this work will be confirmation of phosphorous removal from the iron ore in the refining process at an industrial scale, based on the successful preliminary tests undertaken by Tenova / Mintek RSA (refer ASX announcement 25th September 2018).

  • b) Gas / electricity supply

  • Power is estimated to contribute between 40% to 45% of operating costs for the Agbaja Steel Project. The Company will progress discussions with the Nigerian Government to identify and secure the most cost-effective sources of power for the steel plant.

  • c) Market entry. The Company plans to work with international corporate advisory groups and steel market consultants on a domestic market entry strategy, to align with Government objectives for replacement of steel imports to support growth of the the Nigerian economy.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Corporate

During the period, the Company settled amounts owing to one former and one current director of the Company for unpaid director fees of $640,000 by issuing 15,873,016 shares at an agreed issue price of 4.03 cents per share (market value at the date of the issue of the shares was 5.1 cents).

The Company completed a two-phase capital raising $3.21 million to fund progress on key activities required for a Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) on its wholly-owned and advanced Agbaja Plateau iron ore mining and cast steel mill project.

The capital raising comprised:

  • share placements to US-based institutional investor Sorbie Bornholm LP for commitments of $2m, and various Australian professional and sophisticated investors for a further $350,000; and

  • a share purchase plan which closed with $860,000 raised.

Mr Greg Boulton AM was appointed as Chairman of the Board of Directors. This is following the decision made by Mr Don Carroll that with a restructured Board now comprised of Directors with the necessary experience to develop the Company’s Agbaja Project it is appropriate to step down from the role.

Covid-19

Impacts on operations in Nigeria include the lockdown of Abuja (Federal Capital), restrictions to interstate travel and closure of Nigeria’s Mines Department, which has largely limited the Company’s business to within the Kogi State. These restrictions are planned and have started to be carefully lifted by the Government from September onwards. Related financial market uncertainty has delayed the equity fundraising for the Feasibility Study.

However, many operational matters have been progressed despite COVID-19 and a reduced spend, albeit at a slower pace than planned.

In terms of health of our staff we have standard practices in place to minimise the risk of COVID19 contraction or spread: working from home where appropriate, limited travel and physical contact with the Agbaja Plateau Communities, the use of face masks in public (in Nigeria) and ensuring the availability of sanitiser and social distance in the office environment.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the group during the financial year.

Events since the end of the financial year

On 26 August 2020, the Company issued 371,584 ordinary fully paid shares to a service provider for services rendered to the value of $17,799.

On 15 September 2020, the Company announced the appointment of Craig Hart as Non-Executive Director and Deputy Chair.

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has not had a significant impact on the consolidated entity up to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

As at the date of this Directors’ Report, the Directors are not aware of any other matter or circumstance that has arisen that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group subsequent to 30 June 2020.

Likely developments and expected results of operation

The Company is aiming to raise sufficient funds to be able to progress key activities required for a Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”) for the Agbaja Cast Steel Project in Nigeria.

Environmental regulation

The Company holds various exploration licences and mining leases granted under the Nigerian Minerals and Mining Act 2007 , that regulate its exploration activities in Nigeria. These licences include conditions and regulations with respect to the rehabilitation of areas disturbed during the course of the Company’s exploration activities.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

==> picture [125 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

(d) Executive Remuneration policy and framework

The objective of the group's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and conforms to the market best practice for delivery of reward. The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for reward governance practices:

  • Competitiveness and reasonableness

  • Acceptability to shareholders

  • Performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation

  • Transparency.

The Remuneration & Nomination Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives. The performance of the group depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high-quality personnel.

The Board has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the group.

Alignment to shareholders' interests:

  • Has had key milestone achievement as a core component of plan design.

  • Focuses on growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of growth in share price which should follow from the achievement of key milestones, as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value.

  • Attracts and retains high calibre executives.

Alignment to program participants' interests:

  • Rewards capability and experience.

  • Reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth.

  • Provides a clear structure for earning rewards.

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive directors and executive remunerations are separate.

(i) Executive remuneration mix

To ensure that executive remuneration is aligned to company performance, a portion of the executives’ target pay may be “at risk”. There was no executive remuneration that comprised an “at risk” component during the year.

In the prior year, Mr Wood’s remuneration package comprised an “at risk” component relating to the short term and long term incentives described in (iv) below.

(ii) Base pay and benefits

Executives receive their base pay and benefits structured as a total employment cost package which is delivered as cash remuneration.

Base pay is reviewed annually or on promotion. Base pay is benchmarked against market data for comparable roles in the market.

(iii) Superannuation

The Company does not make superannuation contributions that are in addition to executive director’s fixed base remuneration.

(iv) Short Term Incentives and Long Term Incentives

The short term and long term incentive remuneration offered by the Company to Mr Turvey comprised the following:

  • Short Term Incentive – there is no bonus over and above the agreed consulting fees.

  • Long Term Equity Incentive – Mr Turvey was issued 10,000,000 Performance Rights (1,000,000 having since lapsed) as part of the Performance Rights granted to all Directors, as approved by shareholders at the AGM on the 26 November 2019. There are 8 classes of Performance Rights with varying vesting dates and vesting conditions, refer Note 22 of the Annual Financial Statements.

(v) Share Trading Policy

The Kogi Iron Limited securities trading policy applies to all directors and executives and only permits the purchase or sale of Company securities during certain periods provided trading of the securities is not prohibited by any other law.

(e) Relationship between remuneration and Kogi Iron Limited performance

In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the Board have regarded the following key financial indicators:

Increase (Decrease) in share price
(44%)
(60%) 639% 15% (67%)

(f) Non-executive directors’ remuneration policy

On appointment to the Board, all non-executive directors enter into a service agreement with the Company in the form of a letter of appointment. The letter summarises the Board policies and terms, including remuneration, relevant to the office of the director.

Non-executive directors receive a Board fee and historically the non-executive directors have participated in the Company Loan Performance Share Plan, however currently there are no Performance Shares on issue to the directors pursuant to the plan.

Board fees are reviewed from time to time by the Board and the Board may receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The Chairman’s fees are determined independently to the fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. Board fees were last reviewed in 2011.

ASX listing rules require the aggregate non-executive directors’ remuneration be determined periodically by a general meeting of shareholders. The most recent determination was at the annual general meeting held on 30 November 2011, where shareholders approved an aggregate non-executive director remuneration pool of $500,000 per annum.

Board fees(per year)
Chairman $100,000
Deputy Chairman(from 15 September 2020) $ 90,000
Other non-executive directors $ 60,000

(g) Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting

The Company received 32.7% of proxy votes against its 2019 remuneration report at the 2019 Annual General Meeting. As this was the second year in succession that greater than 25% of proxy votes had voted against the remuneration report, a ‘spill’ resolution was put to shareholders in the 2019 AGM. If greater than 50% of proxy votes vote in favour of the ‘spill’ resolution then a further shareholder meeting is required to be held within 90 days of the AGM to consider the re-election of all Directors other than the Managing Director. 94.7% of proxy votes voted against the ‘spill’ resolution.

The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the Annual General Meeting or throughout the year on its remuneration practices, however following the 2018 AGM, the Company did take steps to address areas of concern in relation to remuneration such as the establishment of the Remuneration & Nomination Committee, as well as a review of executive remuneration and incentives. Further, in the 2020 year, the Company negotiated the settlement of $640,000 of outstanding Director’s fees, owing to two retired Directors, through the issue of Ordinary Shares in lieu of cash payment.

1 The total opening balance as at 01/07/19 of $544,100 (table above) differs from the closing balance at 30/06/19 of $1,075,601 (table below) due to the exclusion in the above table for the year ended 30 June 2020 of Directors who had resigned prior to 01/07/19 (Messrs Ian Burston $400,000 and Michael Tilley $110,968) and the exclusion of non- key management personnel (Ajakpovi Mena). Both amounts were paid in the year ended 30 June 2020. Mr Ian Burston’s amount owing was settled by issue of 9,920,635 ordinary shares in accordance with a deed of settlement at a deemed issue price of 4.03 cents per share, settlement of the liability by issue of shares resulted in a loss on settlement of $103,952 compared to the market price of the shares of 5.10 cents at the date of issue.

2 $240,000 of Director fees owing to Mr Don Carroll were settled by issue of 5,952,381 ordinary shares in accordance with a deed of settlement at a deemed issue price of 4.03 cents per share, settlement of the liability by issue of shares resulted in a loss on settlement of $63,571 compared to the market price of the shares of 5.10 cents at the date of issue.

3 The balance of $130,467 is included in trade and other payables.

This concludes the remuneration report, which has been audited

On 19 November 2019 and as part of a $2m equity injection by Sorbie Bornholm LP comprising cash of $300,000 and deferred proceeds with a fair value on the date of acquisition of $1,700,000, the Company entered into agreements for the acquisition of 18 equity swaps for total consideration receivable of $1,700,000 ($ 94,444 per equity swap). The transaction closed on 9 February 2020.

The equity swaps settle on a monthly basis over 18 months, and commenced on 10 March 2020, with one swap settling each month. The monthly settlement amount payable to the Company by the counter-party is determined by an independent settlement agent with the amount due calculated via reference to the average of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares as traded on the Australian Securities Exchange for the twenty days preceding the settlement date (“VWAP”), compared to the benchmark price of $0.053. Each one cent difference between the VWAP and the benchmark price results in a $20,964 per month premium or discount to the amount to be received by the Company for the swap at settlement.

For the year ended 30 June 2020

Fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

The fair value of the equity swaps at 30 June 2020 was independently calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model that took into account the Company share price at the valuation date, the expected Company share price volatility over the period of the equity swaps, the expected life of the equity swaps and the expected dividends over the life of the equity swaps as detailed below.

Equity swap valuation model: As the equity swap is linked to the expected share price of the Company’s shares at the time of the swap, a Monte Carol simulation model has been used to determine the expected share price at the time of each swap. The valuation method adopted uses the following inputs which were taken from publicly available information relating to the Company’s share price at the time of the valuation, share price history of the Company and the terms and conditions of the equity swaps. The Monte Carlo Simulation allows for expected future share prices to be calculated and an expected future value of each equity swap to be calculated, to provide a value for the entire agreement that remains outstanding at the valuation date.

Share price at time of valuation: The share price at time of valuation, being 30 June 2020, was $0.038.

Expected life of equity swaps: The expected life of the equity swaps was taken to be the full period of time from grant date to expiry/exercise date. While there may be an adjustment made to take into account any expected early or deferred exercise of the equity swaps or any variation of the expiry date by the Company, there is no past history that either of these factors would warrant an exercise of the equity swaps at dates different to those agreed upon, and there are no other factors which would indicate that this would be a likely occurrence. Therefore, no adjustment to the expected expiry dates of the equity swaps has been made.

Share price volatility: The Company has a long history of share transactions by which to gauge the Company’s share price volatility, and this data provides some indication of the expected future volatility of the Company’s share price. The share price volatility over the prior 14 months was 111.236%. Due to the Company’s historical share price movement, and the relative percentage of each movement against share price, it is expected that this volatility will not change significantly over the life of the equity swaps. Therefore, volatility of 111.236% has been used as expected future share price volatility over the life of the equity swaps.

Expected dividends: Nil.

Risk Free rate: 0.25%

Fair value: The fair value of the remaining equity swaps at 30 June 2020 was estimated as $1,016,647. The difference between that valuation of the remaining equity swaps and the purchase price of the remaining swaps $1,322,222 has been taken to the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income as an unrealised loss for the period ($305,575).

Note: The price of the Company’s shares as traded on the ASX post 30 June 2020 has been less than the $0.038 per share, which was the share price used to determine the fair value of the equity swaps at 30 June 2020. Consequently, whilst the price of the Company’s shares remains at less than $0.038, the amount the Company will receive on a monthly basis upon settlement of the equity swaps will be less than the 30 June 2020 fair value estimate. An estimate of the financial impact cannot be made due to the daily fluctuation of the Company’s share price.

15. Commitments

Future exploration

The Nigerian Minerals and Mining Act (2007) and the Nigerian Minerals and Mining Regulations (2011) do not prescribe minimum annual expenditure obligations for Exploration Licences, rather these obligations are managed by the Mines Inspectorate Department on a case by case basis. The Company expects it will be able to meet any expenditure obligations imposed for any of the Exploration Licences that it holds in the normal course of operations. If any expenditure obligations are not met, then the Company has the ability to request a waiver of these obligations or to negotiate amended obligations for the remaining term of the Exploration Licence or relinquish the Exploration Licence.

Annual licence fees of $189,012 (2019: $207,110) are payable to the government of Nigeria for the Mining and Exploration Licences that the group plans to retain in the next 12 months.

16. Events subsequent to reporting date

On 26 August 2020, the Company issued 371,584 ordinary fully paid shares to a service provider for services rendered to the value of $17,799.

On 15 September 2020, the Company announced the appointment of Craig Hart as Non-Executive Director and Deputy Chair.

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has not had a significant impact on the consolidated entity up to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

Other than the above, no matters or circumstance have arisen since 30 June 2020 that have significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Company's operations, the results of those operations, or the Company's state of affairs in future financial years.

The group holds the following financial instruments:

The group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits.

The main purpose of these financial instruments is to provide working capital for the group and to fund its operations.

The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.

Financial Risk Management

The group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk and foreign currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the group.

Market risk

Foreign currency risk

As a result of the group operating overseas (Nigeria), the group is exposed to foreign exchange risk from commercial transaction and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the group’s functional currency. The carrying amount of the consolidated entities foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at the reporting date is not considered material to the group.

The group also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from purchases by an operating entity in currencies other than the group’s functional currency. The group does not enter into forward foreign exchange contracts or any other form of foreign currency protection instruments and does not have a hedging policy.

Interest rate risk

The group has minimal interest rate risk arising from cash and cash equivalents held. At 30 June 2020, the group have deposits on current accounts held with banks at variable interest rates, exposing the group to immaterial interest rate risk. The group does not consider the interest rate risk to be material to the group and have therefore not undertaken any further analysis of risk exposure.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the group. The group does not have any significant concentrations of credit risk. Credit risk is managed by the Board and arises from cash and cash equivalents as well as credit exposure including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.

All cash balances held at banks are held at internationally recognised institutions. The majority of receivables are immaterial to the group. Given this the credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due or impaired can be assessed by reference to historical information about default rates.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets as summarised at the start of note 17.

Liquidity risk

Vigilant liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash balances and access to equity funding to enable the group to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.

The Board of directors’ monitor the cash levels of the group on an on-going basis against budget and the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities to manage liquidity risk.

As at reporting date the group had sufficient cash reserves to meet its immediate requirements. The group has no access to credit standby facilities or arrangements for further funding or borrowings in place at reporting date, other than the equity swap arrangement detailed further in Note 4. The Company will need to secure additional equity or debt funding to enable it to meet its ongoing requirements.

Maturities of financial liabilities

The following tables detail the group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities at the reporting date. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. Provided the liabilities below are paid in accordance with the specified payments terms no interest is payable, the tables have been constructed on this basis.

The basis of the valuation of cash is fair value, being the amounts for which the cash can expect to be received in the normal course of business.

Fair value measurement

Measured at fair value on recurring basis

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observe ability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The table below summarises financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each level of measurement:

Tax consolidation

Kogi Iron Limited and its Australian domiciled subsidiaries have formed a tax consolidation group.

27. Summary of Significant accounting policies

This note provides a list of all significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the group consisting of Kogi Iron limited and its subsidiaries.

(a) Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001 . Kogi Iron Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

These financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors of Kogi Iron Limited on 30 September 2020.

(i) Going Concern This report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuation of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional funding. For the year ended 30 June 2020, the group has recorded a loss from continuing operations of $3,096,480, had net cash outflows from operations of $2,335,378 and net assets of $1,387,677. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Directors believe that sufficient funds will be available to meet the Group’s working capital requirements. However, the Directors recognise that the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Group being able to secure additional funding through either the issue of further shares and or options or convertible notes or a combination thereof as required to fund ongoing exploration and evaluation studies and for working capital.

The Directors have reviewed the Group’s financial position and forecast cash flows and have assessed that the Group will be required to raise additional funds by way of issuing equity to continue its exploration and evaluation program as forecast or alternatively reduce its discretionary expenditure. The Company has an equity swap agreement with Sorbie Bornholm LP with 14 monthly settlements remaining as of 30 June 2020. Each equity swap settlement is for an amount of $94,444, with the amount payable to the Company calculated via reference to the average of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares as traded on the Australian

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2020

==> picture [125 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

Securities Exchange on the settlement date, and the twenty preceding days (“VWAP”), and to the benchmark price of $0.053. At 30 June 2020, the total fair value of these remaining settlements is estimated at $1,016,646 (refer Note 4 for further detail). This arrangement provides part of the additional funds required by the Group to continue its exploration and evaluation program. The Directors reasonably expect that the Group will be able to raise further additional funds as required to meet future costs associated with its operating and exploration activities for at least the next 12 months but is able to curtail expenditure if required. The directors are therefore of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis is appropriate in the circumstances.

Should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

(ii) Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated financial statements of the Kogi Iron Limited group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)

(iii) Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared on an historical cost basis, except for the following:

  • available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) – measured at fair value (refer Note 4).

(iv) Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Board to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the group'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, are disclosed in note 28

(v) New and amended standards adopted by the group

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except where new standards have been adopted

In the year ended 30 June 2020, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are relevant to the Group and effective for the current annual reporting period.

(i) AASB 16: Leases

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except where new standards have been adopted.

AASB16 Leases became applicable to the current reporting period. AASB16 Leases replaced AASB117 Leases, IFRIC 4 ‘Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease’, SIC 15 ‘Operating Leases-Incentives’ and SIC 27 ‘Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease’.

The new Standard has been applied using the modified retrospective approach, with any cumulative effect of adopting AASB 16 being recognised in equity as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated losses for the current period. Prior periods have not been restated and the application of these standards did not have a material impact on the financial report.

At the date of initial application, the Group has elected to apply AASB16 to contracts that were previously identified as leases under the definition of a lease from AASB117 and IFRIC 4 and has not applied AASB 16 to arrangements that were previously not identified as leases under AASB117 and IFRIC 4.

The Group has elected not to include initial direct costs in the measurement of the right-of-use asset for operating leases in existence at the date of initial application of AASB 16, being 1 July 2019. At this date, the Group has also elected to measure the right-of-use assets at an amount equal to the lease liability adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments that existed at the date of transition. Instead of performing an impairment review on the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application, the Group has relied on its historic assessment as to whether leases were onerous immediately before the date of initial application of AASB 16.

On transition, for leases previously accounted for as operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months and for leases of low-value assets the Group has applied the optional exemptions to not recognise right-of-use assets but to account for the lease expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.

For those leases previously classified as finance leases, the right-of-use asset and lease liability are measured at the date of initial application at the same amounts as under AASB117 immediately before the date of initial application.

Where applicable on transition to AASB16 the weighted average incremental borrowing rate is applied to lease liabilities recognised under AASB16.

The Group currently only has leases with a remaining term of less than 12 months and leases for low-value assets. As the Group has applied exemptions, there is no impact on the opening balance of accumulated losses for the current period.

The Group as a lessee

For any new contracts entered into on or after 1 July 2019, the Group considers whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A lease is defined as ‘a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration’. To apply this definition the Group assesses whether the contract meets three key evaluations which are whether:

  • the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified by being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Group

  • the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of the contract

  • the Group has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use.

The Group assess whether it has the right to direct ‘how and for what purpose’ the asset is used throughout the period of use.

Measurement and recognition of leases as a lessee

At lease commencement date, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is made up of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any initial direct costs incurred by the Group, an estimate of any costs to dismantle and remove the asset at the end of the lease, and any lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date (net of any incentives received).

The Group depreciates the right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-ofuse asset or the end of the lease term. The Group also assesses the right-of-use asset for impairment when such indicators exist.

At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments unpaid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily available or the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are made up of fixed payments (including in substance fixed), variable payments based on an index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and payments arising from options reasonably certain to be exercised.

Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and increased for interest. It is remeasured to reflect any reassessment or modification, or if there are changes in in-substance fixed payments.

When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment is reflected in the right-of-use asset, or profit and loss if the right-of-use asset is already reduced to zero.

The Group has elected to account for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets using the practical expedients. Instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

On the statement of financial position, right-of-use assets have been included in property, plant and equipment (except those meeting the definition of investment property) and lease liabilities have been included in trade and other payables.

The Group as a lessee - Finance leases

Management applies judgment in considering the substance of a lease agreement and whether it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset. Key factors considered include the length of the lease term in relation to the economic life of the asset, the present value of the minimum lease payments in relation to the asset’s fair value, and whether the Group obtains ownership of the asset at the end of the lease term.

For leases of land and buildings, the minimum lease payments are first allocated to each component based on the relative fair values of the respective lease interests. Each component is then evaluated separately for possible treatment as a finance lease, taking into consideration the fact that land normally has an indefinite economic life.

The group depreciates assets held under finance leases on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the asset. The interest element of lease payments is charged to profit or loss, as finance costs over the period of the lease.

Operating leases

All other leases are treated as operating leases. Where the Group is a lessee, payments on operating lease agreements are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, such as maintenance and insurance, are expensed as incurred.

(ii) Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

This Interpretation clarifies how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements in AASB 112 when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. In such a circumstance, an entity shall recognise and measure its current or deferred tax asset or liability applying the requirements in AASB 112 based on taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates determined applying this Interpretation.

(vi) New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Company for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020. Based on current operations, the Company has assessed no material impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

(b) Principles of consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group 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 relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the group.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively.

(ii) Associates Associates are all entities over which the group has significant influence but not control or joint control. This is generally the case where the group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting (see (iii) below), after initially being recognised at cost.

37

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020

==> picture [125 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

(iii) Equity method

Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.

When the group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

The group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Kogi Iron Limited.

(iv) Changes in ownership interests

When the group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

(c) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Board of Kogi Iron Limited assesses the financial performance and position of the group, and makes strategic decisions.

(d) Foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Kogi Iron Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss. They are deferred in equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a net basis within other income or other expenses.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on nonmonetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income.

(iii) Group companies

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:

  • 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

  • income and expenses for each 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

  • 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. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

(e) Revenue from contracts with customers

To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Group follows a 5-step process:

  1. Identifying the contract with a customer

  2. Identifying the performance obligations

  3. Determining the transaction price

  4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations

  5. Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.

The revenue and profits recognised in any period are based on the delivery of performance obligations and an assessment of when control is transferred to the customer.

38

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020

==> picture [125 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

(f)Interest income

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that assets’ net carrying amount on initial recognition.

(g) Income tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. The Board periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. The deferred tax liabilities in relation to investment property that is measured at fair value is determined assuming the property will be recovered entirely through sale. 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.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the Company 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.

Kogi Iron Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

(h) Leases

From 1 July 2019

The Group applies the new accounting requirements of AASB 16 Leases (refer note 27(a)(v) ).

For the comparative period ending 30 June 2019

The Group applied thee previous accounting requirements of AASB 117: Leases and related Interpretations as follows>

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short-term and long-term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the asset’s useful life or over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the group as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Lease income from operating leases where the group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The respective leased assets are included in the statement of financial position based on their nature.

(i) Impairment of assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cashgenerating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

(j) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

(k) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less expected credit loss. See note 7 for further information about the group’s accounting for trade receivables.

39

(l) Financial instruments

Investment and other financial assets

Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

  • those measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI, or through profit or loss), and

  • those measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

Measurement

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.

Debt instruments :

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are two measurement categories into which the Group classifies its debt instruments:

  • Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses), together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.

  • FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises.

Equity instruments: The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company’s/Group’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Company’s/Group’s right to receive payments is established. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other gains/(losses) in the statement of profit or loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

Impairment

From 1 July 2018, the Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

(m) Trade and other payables

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

(n) Employee benefits

(i) Short-term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for accumulating sick leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.

(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations

The liabilities for long service leave and annual leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period of government bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Re-measurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

(iii) Share-based payments

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Kogi Iron Limited Loan Share Plan and an employee share scheme. Information relating to these schemes is set out in note 22.

The fair value of Loan Performance Shares granted under the Kogi Iron Limited Loan Performance Share Plan is recognised as an employee benefits expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the Loan Shares held which includes the probability of achieving any vesting conditions and the impact of any non-vesting conditions.

The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. In the case of directors of the Company, the vesting period and the expensing of this remuneration will only start from the date shareholders approve the issue of securities to that director. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of Loan Shares that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The Loan Share Plan is administered by

40

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2020

==> picture [125 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

the Kogi Iron Limited Board of directors and was approved by shareholders in general meeting on 30 November 2012. When the Loan Shares vest and the loan provided for the shares is repaid, the proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited directly to equity.

(vi) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the group before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The group recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of AASB 137 and involves the payment of terminations benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.

(n) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or Loan Shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Where any group Company purchases the Company’s equity instruments, for example as the result of a share buy-back or a share-based payment plan, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the owners of Kogi Iron Limited as treasury shares until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the owners of Kogi Iron Limited.

(o) Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

(p) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

  • the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares

  • by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding Loan Shares.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

  • the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and

  • the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(q) 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 asset or as 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 statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components 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.

(r) Parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity, Kogi Iron Limited, disclosed in note 26 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.

(i) Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Kogi Iron Limited. Dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s profit or loss when its right to receive the dividend is established.

(ii) Tax consolidation legislation

Kogi Iron Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. The head entity, Kogi Iron Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group 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, Kogi Iron Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.

The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate Kogi Iron Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by Kogi Iron Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Kogi Iron Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the whollyowned entities’ financial statements.

The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year. The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments. Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as current amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the group.

41

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 30 June 2020

==> picture [125 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.

(iii) Financial guarantees

Where the parent entity has provided financial guarantees in relation to loans and payables of subsidiaries for no compensation, the fair values of these guarantees are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment.

28. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires the Board to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. The Board continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. The Board bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, the Board believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are detailed below.

Share-based payment transactions

The group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and service providers by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled Loan Performance Share Plan would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

Recovery of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the group considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Financial asset at fair value through profit or loss

The Company entered into a subscription agreement on 19 November 2019 for the issue of 56,818,182 ordinary shares at the subscription price of $2,000,000. The subscription price was settled with an initial lumpsum payment of $300,000 and an equity swap agreement (receivable) for 18 equity swaps totalling $1,700,000.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to government regulations, supply chain, staffing in the geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, at this stage there does not appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID19) pandemic.

At initial recognition, the Company has measured the fair value. Fair value at initial recognition is normally the transaction price (i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or received). The Directors believe that the subscription price of $2,000,000 represents fair value based on an arms-length transaction between two parties.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the financial asset is recognised at its fair value at the reporting date based on an independent expert valuation with any revaluation increment or decrement recognised through profit and loss (refer note 4 for further details).

Furthermore, the shares issued as consideration for the above subscription agreement have been deemed to be classified as equity as the Company has issued a fixed number of shares and extinguished its obligation under the subscription agreement.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of Kogi Iron Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Kogi Iron Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; 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 are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

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.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to Note 27 (a)(i) in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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 of 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. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Accounting for sharing transaction with Sorbie Capital LP

Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

How the matter was addressed in our audit Our procedures included, but were not limited to:

During the financial year ended 30 June 2020, the Company entered into a sharing agreement with Sorbie Capital LP (‘Sorbie’) to secure the cash flows from 37,735,849 Sorbie Subscription shares arising from cash flows over the 18 month period of the Agreement. The accounting of this sharing transaction with Sorbie is considered to be a key audit matter due to the following:

  • Reviewing the relevant agreements for the sharing transaction with Sorbie;

  • Enquiring with management to understand the accounting for the sharing transaction;

  • Assessing whether management’s assessment of the classification of the financial instrument is in accordance with the accounting standards;

  • Judgements required by management in the selection of a suitable valuation methodology;

  • Reviewing management’s calculation carried out in respect of the accounting for financial instruments;

  • The accounting treatment for inputs used and valuation method applied; and

  • Assessing the competence, independence and methodology applied by the management expert used to determine the fair value of the financial instrument; and

  • The complexity of the accounting policy adopted by management.

Refer to Note 4, Note 27 (l) and Note 28 of the financial report for a description of the account ing policy and significant estimates and judge ments applied to these transactions.

  • Assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures in notes 4, 27 (l) and 28 to the financial report.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

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

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.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:
