MONT ROYAL RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Wapatik Gold-Copper Project
On 22 September 2020, the Company announced that it had entered into a binding JV option agreement (“Agreement”) with Azimut Exploration Inc. ("Azimut") (TSXV: AZM), to earn-in up to 70% of the Wapatik Gold-Copper Project (“Project”), located in James Bay area, of Quebec, Canada.
The Wapatik Gold Copper Project consists of 220 claims totalling 115sq/km in continuous tenure. The Project is located in the James Bay-Eeyou Istchee region, in the lower Eastmain Greenstone belt, part of the La Grande Subprovince of the Archean Superior Province, which has been subject to significant exploration activity.
The region is host to the Éléonore gold mine (Newmont Corporation NEM.US) and recent Patwon discovery/Elmer property (Azimut Exploration AZM.TSX) ("Azimut"). Azimut consolidated the tenure following the Patwon discovery located 13km west of Wapatik.

Transaction Structure
The 70% earn-in is comprised of two earn-in options as described below (together, the "Transaction").
First option: Mont Royal has an exclusive option to earn a 50% interest (the “First Option”): by making cash payments to Azimut aggregating C$80,000; and by funding not less than C$4,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the Project (the “First Option Earn-In Expenditures”), of which the first C$600,000 ("Initial Commitment") constitutes a firm commitment of Mont Royal. Subsequent to the Initial Commitment, Mont Royal has the right not to proceed with the First Option. The First Option is set out below:
| First Option. The First Option is set out below: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Period | Minimum First Option Earn-In Expenditures |
Cash Payments |
| At the latest on the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date |

MONT ROYAL RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Second Option: Mont Royal has an exclusive option to earn up to an additional 20% earned interest, for an aggregate of up to 70% earned interest (the “Second Option”), subject to Mont Royal:
-
(a) providing Azimut with a preliminary economic assessment with respect to the Project (the “PEA”) at the latest on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Second Option Election Notice (the “Second Option Period”) (subject to a potential 3-year extension);
-
(b) making cash payments to Azimut aggregating C$120,000; and
-
(c) by funding not less than $3,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the Project (the “Second Option Earn-In Expenditures”) in accordance with the following schedule:
| Period | Minimum Second Option Earn-In Expenditures |
Cash Payments |
|---|---|---|
| At the latest on the first (1st) anniversary of the Second Option Election Notice |
C$1,000,000 | C$40,000 |
| At the latest on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Second Option Election Notice |
C$1,000,000 | C$40,000 |
| At the latest on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Second Option Election Notice |
C$1,000,000 | C$40,000 |
| Total | C$3,000,000 | C$120,000 |
If Mont Royal decides not to exercise this additional option, it must pay Azimut $50,000 in cash as final payment in respect of the First Option.
The period within which Mont Royal must provide Azimut with the PEA may be extended for three (3) subsequent consecutive periods of one (1) year each upon Mont Royal paying Azimut the sum of C$100,000 per each such extension year and funding Second Option Earn-In Expenditures of at least C$1,000,000 per each such extension year.
First Option Earn-In Expenditures exceeding the aggregate amounts of C$4,000,000 in the First Option Period shall be credited to the Second Option Period and accounted as Second Option Earn-In Expenditures. Any claim renewal costs incurred by Azimut with respect to the Project during the Second Option Period will be accounted as Second Option Earn-In Expenditures.
Following the exercise and completion of the Second Option, Mont Royal will hold an aggregate of 70% earned interest in the Project. During the Second Option Period, transfers of all or part of its interest in the Project by Azimut shall be subject to a 30 days right of first refusal in favour of Mont Royal.
Shareholder approval for the transaction was obtained on 9 November 2020 at the Company’s Annual General Meeting.
The exploration program in 2021 consists of:
-
A very high-resolution heliborne magnetic survey totalling 5,116 line-kilometre on 25-metre spaced lines, covering the entire Project, which is now complete;
-
A structural study supported by the results of the magnetic survey and remote sensing data, which is nearly finished;
-
Systematic till sampling survey to start as soon as field conditions allow; and
-
Focused prospecting to assess target zones during the Canadian summer.
During the period, a very high-resolution magnetic survey was successfully completed across the entire 115sq/km in continuous tenure at the Project without incident. The results from the survey exhibit an outstanding resolution of the magnetic anomalies on the property. The data has undergone detailed interpretation by the technical team at Azimut and final results have provided a better geological understanding to highlight prospective areas for ongoing fieldwork programs.
A lithostructural interpretation was completed based on the high-resolution magnetic survey which has provided a lithostructural synthesis map covering the entire study area to optimize the exploration approach by:
-
Defining the probable structural architecture of the study area from the interpretation of remote sensing data, geophysical data and available field data.
-
Interpreting the probable lithological assemblages of an intrusive or extrusive nature and of felsic or mafic composition, exhumed by the interpreted fault systems.
4
MONT ROYAL RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES DIRECTORS’ REPORT
==> picture [433 x 330] intentionally omitted <==
The study area is marked by Archean rocks that have undergone multiple phases of deformation. Shear zones define an important East-West corridor on Wapatik that apparently contains felsic and mafic assemblages.
Potential orogenic gold mineralization may be associated with a transpression episode and the associated dextral shears. The shear-bounded E-W corridor mentioned above is to be preferentially investigated as well as the edges of interpreted intrusions.
Note: Transpression is caused by oblique convergence of rock masses and is characterized by strike-slip deformation and vertical thickening in the crust. It is observed at regional scales along plate boundaries and more locally as restraining bends in strike-slip fault zones. Transpressional regimes are widespread in orogenic belts and give rise to complex strain patterns (1)
This new higher fidelity lithostructural map will now serve to plan the upcoming follow-up field activities.
In June 2021, a systematic till sampling survey and focussed prospecting to assess target zones commenced.
Significant Changes in the State of Affairs
On 7 January 2021, 186,440 fully paid ordinary shares were issued to consultants for services rendered.
On 7 May 2021, 4,665,845 fully paid ordinary shares and 4,000,000 director options were released from escrow.
Other than stated above, no significant changes in the consolidated group’s state of affairs occurred during the year.
Events Subsequent to the End of the Reporting Period
No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the entity's state of affairs in future financial years.
Likely Developments and Expected Results of Operations

MONT ROYAL RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES DIRECTORS’ REPORT REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for directors and executives of the Company.
Remuneration Policy
The remuneration policy of the Company has been designed in order to ensure that the Company is able to attract and retain executives and Directors who will create value for shareholders, having regard to the amount considered to be commensurate for an entity of the Company’s size and level of activity as well as the relevant directors’ time, commitment and responsibility.
The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and other senior executives of the Group is as follows:
The remuneration policy setting out the terms and conditions of any executive director was developed by the Board.
All senior executives will be subject to an annual performance evaluation against an established set of performance targets which are aligned to overall business goals and the Company’s requirement of the position. Performance pay components of executives’ packages are dependent on the outcome of the evaluation.
Remuneration packages for executive directors and other senior executives include an appropriate balance of fixed remuneration and performance-based remuneration. Fixed remuneration takes into account the Company’s obligations at law and labour market conditions, and is relative to the scale of the Company’s business.
Non-executive directors are remunerated by way of cash fees, superannuation contributions and non-cash benefits in lieu of fees (such as salary sacrifice into superannuation or equity). Levels of fixed remuneration for non-executive directors reflect the time commitment and responsibilities of the role. Non-executive directors do not receive performance-based remuneration as it may lead to bias in their decision-making and compromise their objectivity.
Remuneration and other terms of employment for the executive director and other senior executives have been formalised in service agreements as follows:

MONT ROYAL RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Mont Royal Resources Limited is a public company limited by shares incorporated on 26 March 2018 and domiciled in Australia.
These consolidated financial statements and notes represent Mont Royal Resources Limited and its controlled entities Mont Royal Exploration Australia Pty Ltd and Mont Royal Resources Canada Inc. (together ‘Consolidated Group’, ‘Group’).
The Group is principally engaged in the business of mineral exploration in Canada. The registered office and principal place of business of the Company is, Level 8, 2 Bligh Street, Sydney NSW 2000.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2021 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 26 July 2021.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.
The financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting including the historical cost convention and the going concern assumption.
Both the functional and presentation currency of the Company is in Australian dollars.
(b) Statement of compliance
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial statements and notes comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
(c) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Mont Royal Resources Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Mont Royal Resources Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the group during the period, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the period that they were controlled. Details of controlled entities are contained in Note 6.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group have been eliminated in full on consolidation.
(d) New accounting standards and interpretations
The Group has adopted all new accounting standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning 1 July 2020. The adoption of these new and revised standards and interpretations did not have any effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.
Accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective
Certain Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Group for the reporting year ended 30 June 2021. The Directors have not early adopted any of these new or amended standards or interpretations. The Directors have not yet fully assessed the impact of these new or amended standards (to the extent relevant to the Group) and interpretations.
(e) Revenue recognition
Interest
Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial assets.
(f) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of
16
MONT ROYAL RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above.
(g) Other receivables
Other receivables are recognised and carried at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
(h) Income tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry- forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
(i) Other taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
-
when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
-
receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(j) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the period in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
17
MONT ROYAL RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
(k) Share based payments
Equity settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees (directors). The costs of equitysettled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradable nature of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and risk free interest rate for the term of the option.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to these options is transferred to share capital.
The market value of shares issued to employees for no cash consideration under the employee share scheme is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity when the employees become entitled to the shares.
(l) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and due to their short term nature they are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial period that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(m) Employee leave benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
(n) Loans and borrowings
All loans are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(o) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency. All figures presented in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest dollar.
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Nonmonetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the
18
MONT ROYAL RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Controlled entities
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:
-
Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date.
-
Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period.
-
Retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed. The functional currency of the subsidiary incorporated in the Canada (refer Note 6) is the Canadian Dollar (CAD).
(p) Contributed equity
- Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(q) Earnings/(Loss) per share
(i) Basic Earnings/(Loss) per share
Basic earnings/(loss) per share is determined by dividing the operating profit/(loss) after income tax attributable to members of Mont Royal Resources Limited by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.
- (ii) Diluted Earnings/(Loss) per share
Diluted earnings/(loss) per share adjusts the amounts used in the determination of basic earnings/(loss) per share by taking into account unpaid amounts on ordinary shares and any reduction in earnings per share that will probably arise from the exercise of options outstanding during the financial year.
(r) Asset acquisition
Where an acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of an asset comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. Acquisition-related costs with regards to the acquisition are capitalised. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition are measured at their fair value at the acquisition date.
(s) Critical accounting judgements and estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting judgements and estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. There are no areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements except for the following:
Key estimate: Share-based payments
The Company initially measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and condition of the grant.
This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.
Key judgement: Capitalised Exploration Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the Group will commence commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the mineral resources. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made.
Upon approval for the commercial development of an area of interest, accumulated expenditure for the area of interest is transferred to mining assets.
19
MONT ROYAL RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Key judgement: 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 company based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the company operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently 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 company unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

16. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s financial instruments consistent mainly of deposits with banks, and accounts receivable and payables.
The main purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as other receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments is cash flow interest rate risk and liquidity risk. Other minor risks are either summarised below or disclosed at Note 9 in the case of capital risk management. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks.
(a) Cash flow interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to the risks of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s short-term deposits with a floating interest rate. These financial assets with variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. All other financial assets and liabilities in the form of receivables and payables are non-interest bearing. The Group does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage interest rate risk.
The Group has not entered into any hedging activities to cover interest rate risk. In regard to its interest rate risk, the Group does not have a formal policy in place to mitigate such risks.
The following table sets out the carrying amount by maturity of the Group’s exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of these financial instruments. There were no fixed interest rate financial assets or liabilities held by the Group.

Interest rate sensitivity
At 30 June 2021, if interest rates had changed by 10% during the entire year with all other variables held constant, profit/(loss) for the year and equity would have been $877 lower/higher, mainly as a result of lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents.
A sensitivity of 10% has been selected as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both short term and long term Australian dollar interest rates. A 10% decrease sensitivity would move short term interest rates at 30 June 2021 from around 0.35% to 0.32% (10% increase: 0.38%) representing a 3 basis points shift. This would represent one decrease which is reasonably possible in the current environment with the bias coming from the Reserve Bank of Australia and confirmed by market expectations that interest rates in Australia are more likely to move down than up in the coming period.
Based on the sensitivity analysis, only interest revenue from variable rate deposits and cash balances are impacted resulting in a decrease or increase in overall income.
(b) Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash reserves and through the continuous monitoring of budgeted and actual cash flows.
| Contracted maturities of liabilities at 30 June Payables - less than 30 days |
2021 2020 $ $ 867 49,700 |
|---|---|
(c) Net fair values
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amount of financial instruments reflect their fair value.
(d) Credit Risk
Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties fail to perform as contracted. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of financial asset is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the statement of financial position. The majority of cash and cash equivalents is held with one Australian Bank which has an AA- long-term credit rating from Standard and Poor’s.
Wherever possible, the Group trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group. Since the Group trades only with recognised third parties, there is no requirement for collateral.
