HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT

For the half-year ended 31 December 2020

1

Directors’ Report

Your directors submit their report for the half-year ended 31 December 2020.

Directors

The names of the Company’s directors in office during the half-year and until the date of this report are as below. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated.

Bryan Hughes (Chairman) Malcolm Day (Managing Director) Hans-Rudolf Moser David Wheeler

Review and Results of Operations

Group revenue from continuing operations for the half-year increased by 3% to $9,080,000. The Group recording a net loss attributable to members of $611,000 from operations after a $1,104,000 write down of its exploration assets, up from a loss of $406,000 in the corresponding prior period.

Wholesale

Sales in the period continued to increase thanks to the acquisition of new premium suppliers.

A focus on providing premium products and a premium service to suppliers and customers along with the improvement in the Australian / US Dollar exchange rate and cost savings were responsible for the increase in the profitability of the segment.

Exploration and Evaluation

The Group’s investments in the Highline Cobalt – Copper project in Nevada, USA, and Sunrise Mineral’s Rex Vanadium-Uranium project in Colorado, were written down during the period as, due to the prevailing low commodity prices, no substantive expenditure or exploration and evaluation of mineral resources in these areas is currently planned.

The Group is watching the relevant commodity prices closely with a view to reassessing these projects development requirements should the commodity value warrant it.

Head Office / Corporate

Head office / corporate expenditure for the half year period decreased from $662,000 to $608,000.

Impact of COVID-19

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has not significantly financially impacted the Group up to 31 December 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after reporting date. The situation continues to evolve 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.

During the COVID-19 pandemic the Group has changed operational aspects of its wholesale business such as moving to remote working, where possible to ensure the safety of employees. During the period the Group received Government subsidies relating to PAYG concessions of $50,000.

Notes to the Half- Year Financial Statements 31 December 2020

1 CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial report of Delecta Limited for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 26 February 2021. Delecta Limited is a company incorporated in Australia and limited by shares, which are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange and German Stock Exchange.

2 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Preparation

This general purpose condensed financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

The half-year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.

It is recommended that the half-year financial report be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and considered together with any public announcements made by Delecta Limited during the half-year ended 31 December 2020 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX listing rules.

Except as disclosed below, the accounting policies and methods of computation are the same as those adopted in the most recent annual financial report.

Except as noted elsewhere in this financial report, the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities are considered to materially approximate their fair values.

(b) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations

Since 1 July 2020, the Group has adopted all the Standards and Interpretations mandatory for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2020. These include:

  • Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting;

  • AASB 2019-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards — References to the Conceptual Framework;

  • AASB 2018-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards — Definition of a Business;

  • AASB 2019-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards — Interest Rate Benchmark Reform; and

  • AASB 2018-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards — Definition of Material

Adoption of these Standards and Interpretations were considered and incorporated into the Group’s policies but they did not have a material effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.

The Group has not elected to early adopt any new standards or interpretations that are not mandatorily effective.

5 OPERATING SEGMENTS

Identification of Reportable Segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on its internal reports and used by the executive team (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The operating segments are identified by management based on the manner in which the product is sold, whether retail or wholesale, and the nature of the services provided. Discrete financial information about each of these operating businesses is reported to the executive management team on a monthly basis.

The reportable segments are based on aggregated operating segments determined by the similarity of the manner in which the products or services are sold or provided as these are the sources of the Group’s major risks and have the most effect on the rates of return.

Types of Products and Services

Wholesale

The wholesale segment divisions are those divisions that sell adult products directly to wholesale customers in Australia and New Zealand.

Exploration and evaluation

The exploration and evaluation segment pursue mining exploration activities in areas where the Group holds the right to tenure.

Accounting Policies and Inter-segment Transactions

The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments are the same as those contained in note 2 to the financial statements and in prior periods except as detailed below:

Corporate Charges

Non-segmental expenses, such as head office expenses and expenses that are not directly attributable to a segment and not considered part of the core operations of any segment, are not allocated to operating segments by way of corporate charges and include:

  • Head office employee expenses and directors fees

  • Head office employee travel and accommodation expenses

  • Company secretarial and listing expenses

  • Group legal fees

The following table presents the revenue and profit information relating to continuing business segments for the half-year periods ended 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019:

The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively the sale of the respective area of interest. The balance of exploration and evaluation assets written off in the current period relates to the Highline Cobalt-Copper project and the Rex Vanadium-Uranium project. As a result of prevailing commodity prices, it is currently not practicable for Delecta to commit to ongoing exploration activities at these projects. Delecta intends to re-commence exploration at the projects should commodity prices recover.

11 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On 20 January 2020, the Company announced that it had executed a mining lease and option to purchase agreement to acquire the Speedway Gold Project in Utah, USA.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since the end of the half-year that has significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity, in subsequent financial years.

Directors’ Declaration

In accordance with a resolution of the directors of Delecta Limited, I state that:

In the opinion of the directors:

  • (a) the financial statements and notes of the consolidated entity are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the financial position as at 31 December 2020 and the performance for the half-year ended on that date of the consolidated entity; and

  • (ii) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: “Interim Financial Reporting” and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and

  • (b) there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.

Report on the half-year financial report to the members of Delecta Limited

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Delecta Ltd (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half-year financial report of the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2020 and of its consolidated financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year 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 half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group’s consolidated financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its consolidated financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of the Group, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
