Perpetual Resources Limited Chairman's Letter to shareholders 30 June 2020

Dear Shareholders,

It is my pleasure to present to you the Annual Report of Perpetual Resources Limited ("Perpetual" or the "Company") for the 2020 financial year.

The past year has been an extremely busy one at Perpetual, as we have continued the rapid development of our flagship Beharra silica sands project in Western Australia. We did this, like all companies, against the challenging backdrop of COVID-19, which continues to affect the world despite some easing of conditions here in Australia. I would like to commend all our team for their resilience and hard work through these challenging times as we maintained operational momentum despite the obvious obstacles.

Our notable achievements this year have come from the advancement of Beharra, which remains the Company's primary operational focus given the known quantity and quality of the sand resource. We are also commencing geological reviews of our other potential progress areas although remain cautious about deploying our resources until we have greater certainty that an economic project is likely.

I would like to highlight to you the following key milestones of the past 12 months:

  • Completion of a maiden air core drilling program at Beharra, which included 40 holes for 506.7m of drilling (which supported the earlier 38-hole augur program in 2019) and which was announced to the market on 22nd July 2020
  • Completion of a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate and an additional Exploration Target at Beharra (prepared by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants Pty Ltd) which was announced to the market on 22nd July 2020
  • Finalisation of a capital raising that was strongly supported by existing shareholders and the Board, providing the Company with adequate balance sheet liquidity to maintain our fast pace of development and a cash runway well into 2021

There remains a lot to do across our portfolio in the coming year, but the foundations now appear laid for strong shareholder value creation.

Some of what we expect to be able to report to shareholders in the coming year at our flagship Beharra project include:

  • Submission of a Mining License Application
  • Completion of a detailed metallurgical program
  • Completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS")
  • Achievement of product marketing validation by way of offtake agreements or LOI's
  • Upon delivery of an acceptable PFS, commencement and completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS")
  • If the DFS outcome warrants, a decision to fund will be rapidly undertaken

We are optimistic about the year ahead for Perpetual, with this optimism grounded in some simple beliefs.

Firstly, we believe our projects are progressing well through the various investment decision "gates" that are required to be passed to prove the economic potential of each project. While no certainty exists, what we have seen to date supports our view that we should have at least one commercial project that we intend to rapidly advance to production.

Perpetual Resources Limited Chairman's Letter to shareholders 30 June 2020

Secondly, we are fortunate to have a very supporting macroeconomic environment for silica sand that is providing a strong tailwind to our efforts. Put simply, sand, the commodity we are looking to sell, is in increasingly short supply. There is a growing chorus of commentary detailing the increasing use of sand for its myriad applications, coinciding with a time when many South-East Asian producing projects are limiting sand mining due to the environmental impacts of the crude mining practices that have been used in the region. This is manifesting itself in rising pricing for the various sand products we will look to sell. A rising commodity price has always been the clearest signal that the supply/demand balance is in favour of raw materials producers.

We firmly believe that Perpetual is developing several projects that could play an important role in servicing the need for this essential commodity that underpins modern life – the humble sand grain.

Thank you for your continuing support as shareholders.

Regards

Julian Babarczy Executive Chairman

31 August 2020

The Directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'consolidated entity') consisting of Perpetual Resources Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'Company' or 'parent entity') and the entity it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2020.

  • Silica sands exploration of the Sargon Construction Sands Project in Western Australia, and
  • Silica sands exploration of the Eneabba Project in Western Australia.

Dividends

There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year.

Review of operations

The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $640,698 (30 June 2019: $183,780).

Financial Position

The net assets of the consolidated entity increased by $2,656,794 to $5,063,169 (30 June 2019: $2,406,375).

The consolidated entity's working capital, being current assets less current liabilities was $1,011,148 at 30 June 2020 (2019: $557,520). During the year the consolidated entity had a negative cash flow from operating activities of $482,840 and $322,299 from exploration and evaluation activities (2019: negative $198,027 from operating activities and negative $72,128 from exploration and evaluation activities). The consolidated entity has recorded a loss of $109,555 (2019: gain of $24,583) from fair value adjustment of unquoted options in Clearvue Technologies Limited (ASX: CPV).

During the financial year, operating expenses increased following an increase in activity. Administrative and corporate expenses were $541,143 (2019: $334,857).

Beharra Silica Sands Project

The Beharra Silica Sands Project is located 300km north of Perth and is 98km south of the port town of Geraldton in Western Australia. Access to the Project from Geraldton (to the north) and Perth (to the South) is via the sealed Brand Highway, with the Mt Adams unsealed road providing access to the centre of the tenure.

The Beharra Silica Sands Project comprises a single exploration licence application, E70/5221, covering effective land area of 56.8km2. Silica sands have an extensive range of uses including lower purity applications such as construction sand, proppant sand used in well fracturing as well as foundry sand. With increasing purity (>99.5% SiO2) uses includes glass making applications such as float and plate glass as well as container glass. Uses for purity >99.8% includes semiconductor fillers, LCD screens and optical glass.

High Purity Quartz (>99.95% SiO2) is reserved for solar silicon metal, semiconductors and specialist lamp tubing as well as other high-tech applications. The markets at the high end are small and demand the highest prices ranging from $500/t to $12,000/t depending on the level of purity.

During the year, maiden air core drilling (40 holes, 506.7 metres) was completed at Beharra Silica Sands Project. A maiden JORC resource was announced on 22 July 2020. The resource estimate is 111.3 million tonnes grading 98.6% SiO2 with a further exploration target of 8-13 million tonnes at 97-99% SiO2.

The board is encouraged by these results and further advanced metallurgical work is now underway to further define the upgradability of Beharra silica sands to suit the potential needs of customers.

Sargon Construction Sands Project

Sargon Construction Sands Project is about 40km south of Port Geraldton and covers an area of 48km2. Sargon Construction Sands Project comprises of Sargon tenement (E70/5227) and Sargon North tenement (E70/5376). Maiden auger drilling of 18 holes were completed and samples were submitted for lab testing.

Eneabba Project

Eneabba Project is located directly north of the town Eneabba covers an area of 51km2. Eneabba Project comprises of Eneabba tenement (E70/5220) and Eneabba North tenement (E70/5250).

Significant changes in the state of affairs

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

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while the financial impact to the Company has been minimal up to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is continually evolving 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.

On 22 July 2020, the Company announced Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate of 111.3 million tonnes at 98.6% SiO2 (inferred category) and a further exploration target of 8 to 13 million tonnes at a grade of 97-99% SiO2.

George Karafotias directorship role has changed to non-executive from 1 July 2020.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

The likely developments in the consolidated entity's operations in future years and the expected result from those operations are dependent on exploration success in the various exploration areas in which the consolidated entity currently holds an interest. The ability of the consolidated entity to fund the ongoing operations also remains a key dependency.

Environmental regulation

The consolidated entity holds participating interests in a number of exploration tenements. The various authorities granting such tenements require the tenement holder to comply with the terms of the grant of the tenement and all directions given to it under those terms of the tenement. To the best of the Directors' knowledge, the consolidated entity has adequate systems in place to ensure compliance with the requirements of all environmental legislation described above and are not aware of any breach of those requirements during the financial year and up to the date of the Directors' report.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The objective of the consolidated entity's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered.

  • competitiveness and reasonableness
  • acceptability to shareholders

The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board have considered that it should seek to enhance shareholders' interests by:

  • achievement of exploration program milestones
  • focuses on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value
  • attracts and retains high calibre executives

  • rewards capability and experience
  • reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth
  • provides a clear structure for earning rewards

Non-executive directors remuneration

Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board.

ASX listing rules require the aggregate non-executive directors remuneration be determined periodically by a general meeting. Shareholders approved the maximum amount to be paid to Non-executive Directors to be $150,000, at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders held on 16 November 2018.

Note 1. General information

The financial statements cover Perpetual Resources Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of Perpetual Resources Limited and the entity it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Perpetual Resources Limited and its subsidiary's functional and presentation currency.

Perpetual Resources Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is:

Perpetual Resources Limited Suite 801, Level 8, 84 Pitt Street, Sydney NSW 2000

The Company is a for profit entity.

A description of the nature of the consolidated entity's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is not part of the financial statements.

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 31 August 2020. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period in particular AASB 16. There has not been any impact with the adoption of these new Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

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, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention applying the going concern basis of accounting, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity'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 3.

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 15.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Perpetual Resources Limited ('Company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Perpetual Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity 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 activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

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

Operating segments

Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include 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.

Investments and non-financial assets

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, it's carrying value is written off.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.

Fair value measurement

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

Issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

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

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Performance Shares Reserve

Performance Shares are recorded in the financial statements based on the probability of the performance conditions being achieved during the relevant financial period. Once the performance criteria have been achieved, the amount recorded is transferred to issued capital.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Perpetual Resources Limited, 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 financial year.

Diluted loss per share

Diluted loss per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic loss 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 shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the 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 tax authority is included in other receivables or other 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 tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management 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 discussed below.

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 the nature of exploration and development activities, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Recovery of royalties

Royalties are not recognised in the financial results of the consolidated entity until such time as future probable income is identified and the relevant amount of royalties receivable are known. Given that the consolidated entity has yet to commence any mining operations, this amount cannot be reliably measured.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

Exploration and evaluation costs

Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the consolidated entity 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.

During the financial year, the consolidated entity did not recognise any impairment of exploration and evaluation assets (2019: impairment of $0) following a review of the recoverable amount in future periods.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

As at 30 June 2020, the consolidated entity holds 1,500,000 options in Clearvue Technologies Limited (ASX: CPV). These options have a strike price of 25 cents and expire on 21 June 2021.

The significant judgments made by the consolidated entity in recording these options as financial assets held at fair value through the profit or loss include the following, as used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

· A spot price of 14.5 cents as at 30 June 2020, as referable to the traded share price of Clearvue Technologies Limited; · A volatility of 109%;

· A risk-free rate of 0.258%;

· An expected exercise date coinciding with the maturity of the options (as the options were out-of-the-money as at 30 June 2020); and a marketability discount of 10%.

Options issued

The Company issued 2,500,000 options with a strike price of 2 cents expiring 8 April 2022 to agents as incentive of capital raising work.

The significant judgments made by the consolidated entity in recording these options as expense at fair value through the profit or loss include the following, as used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

  • · A spot price of 2 cents as at 9 April 2020, as referable to the traded share price of the Company;
  • · A volatility of 89%;
  • · A risk-free rate of 0.213%;
  • · An expected exercise date coinciding with the maturity of the options and a marketability discount of 10%;
  • · Fair value of the options issued is $20,000.

Performance Shares Reserve

The Company issued Performance Shares to the Vendors of the Beherra Sands project in 2019 financial year. The Performance Shares were issued in 3 classes being Class A, B and C. The performance obligations for both Class A and B Performance Shares were achieved last financial year and the value of these shares were recorded against issued capital. The Directors have assessed the probability of the Class C Performance Shares performance criteria being achieved as 100%. The value of the Performance Shares has been recorded in a Performance Shares Reserve in the current financial and will be recognised over the period of the vesting condition. The total value of the Class C Performance Shares is $2,300,000 and $1,530,546 (2019: $246,727) has been accounted for during the period to 30 June 2020.

The Company has also issued Director's Performance Shares during the year. Approval of Director's Performance Shares were done through EGM held on 26 May 2020. The Performance Shares were issued in 4 classes being Class A, B, C and D. The Performance Shares are considered non-vesting and the entire fair value of $264,000 (2019: $0) has been accounted for during the period to 30 June 2020.

Note 4. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

The consolidated entity does not have any reportable operating segments as it solely operates in one segment, being the exploration of resources within the Oceania region. The internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM') in assessing performance and in determining allocation of resources are prepared on the consolidated entity as a whole.

Note 5. Income tax expense

Tax losses have not been brought to account as utilisation of these losses is not probable. Income tax losses can only be recovered by the Company deriving future assessable income, conditions for deductibility imposed by law being complied with and no charged in tax legislation adversely affecting the realisation of the benefit from the deductions. Therefore, carry forward losses may not be available to offset future assessable income.

As at 30 June 2020 the consolidated entity had accumulated losses of $8,053,449 (2019: $7,412,751), as set out in the statement of financial position that may be applied in its calculation of carry-forward tax losses that may be potentially be offset against future assessable income. It is noted that not all amounts in accumulated losses would be included in carryforward tax losses which may or may not be available to offset against assessable income which may arise in the future.

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one vote.

Capital risk management

The consolidated entity's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. For the year ended 30 June 2020 this was focused on attracting sufficient funds, in order to fund appropriate levels of working capital necessary for ongoing operations. The consolidated entity has an ASX-imposed restriction of 15% of total share capital p.a. on the amount of share capital it can issue under a placement, which may be increased by a further 10% under a special resolution put to shareholders at its general meetings.

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

Performance shares reserve

On 2 May 2019, the Company issued 160,000,000 Performance Shares (in 3 classes) to Vendors of Beharra Sands project

  • 22,500,000 Class A Performance Shares to vest and convert of the date on which the Tenement is granted, expiring 8 months from the issue date
  • 37,500,000 Class B Performance Shares to vest and convert upon the date on which the Company derives a minimum of for two-metre composite samples (with a maximum sample interval of one metre), with each sample reporting a minimum of 99%SiO2 (on a length weighted average basis), from the drilling of a minimum of four vertical drill holes on the Tenement, expiring 12 months from the issue date;
  • 100,000,000 Class C Performance Shares to vest and convert on the Company announcing a JORC inferred resource of 50 mt of white sands (minimum 99%SiO2) on the Tenement or first shipment of a minimum of 20,000t of white sands (minimum 99% SiO2), expiring 24 months from the issue date.

The value of the Performance Shares is effectively equal to the share price at grant date (2 May 2019, $0.023) because the vesting conditions are non-market based. Class A and Class B Performance Shares were vested on 17 June 2019.

The Directors have assessed the probability of the Class C Performance Shares performance criteria being achieved as 100%. The value of the Performance Shares has been recorded in a Performance Shares Reserve in the current financial and will be recognised over the period of the vesting condition. The total value of the Class C Performance Shares is $2,300,000 and $1,530,546 has been accounted for during the period to 30 June 2020.

Directors performance shares reserve

On 28 May 2020, the Company issued 22,000,000 director's Performance Shares (in 4 classes) approved at EGM held on the 26 May 2020. The Performance Shares will expire 24 months from shareholder approval.

  • 5,500,000 Class A Performance Shares will vest and convert Company announcing a JORC Inferred Resource of at least 50mt of white sands (minimum 99%SiO2) at Beharra, independently verified by industry expert.
  • 5,500,000 Class B Performance Shares will vest and convert on the Board successfully completing a formal study on the Beharra Project at either a Scoping Study or Pre-Feasibility Study level or higher (the "Study"). The Study must have an assessed internal rate of return (IRR) of at least 12% for the Class B Shares to vest.
  • 5,500,000 Class C Performance Shares will vest and convert on the Company receiving a Mining License approval on any project within the Company's current or future portfolio.
  • 5,500,000 Class D Performance Shares will vest and convert on first trial shipment of silica sand from any project within the Company's current or future portfolio.

The value of the Performance Shares is effectively equal to the share price at approval date (EGM 26 May 2020, $0.024). The directors have determined the probability of meeting the conditions of Performance Shares is 50% for each class.

The Performance Shares are considered to be non-vesting as directors will still be entitled to the Performance Shares within a year of resignation. When condition is met after one year of resignation by current directors and before expiry date of the Performance Shares, the then board will make a decision on whether the resigned director(s) should be entitled to the Performance Shares. As a result of no-service condition of the Performance Shares, the entire fair value of $264,000 is brought to account in year ended 30 June 2020.

Note 10. Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives

The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks with the only significant risk it is exposed to being liquidity risk. The consolidated entity's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the consolidated entity.

Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors ('the Board') who are responsible for monitoring and managing financial risk exposures.

Credit risk

The consolidated entity has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of the consolidated entity based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available.

Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year.

Liquidity risk

Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) and available convertible note facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and managing repayments of convertible notes by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Remaining contractual maturities

The following tables detail the consolidated entity's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. 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. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

Fair value of financial instruments

Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value.

Note 11. Fair value measurement

Fair value hierarchy

The following tables detail the consolidated entity's assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

Perpetual Resources Limited

Independent auditor's report to members Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Perpetual Resources Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities (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 statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, 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 then ended; 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 auditor independence requirements of 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 (including Independence Standards) (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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

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. The matter was 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 the matter. We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.

ACQUISITION OF EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
Area of focusRefer also to Notes 2, 6, 8 and 9 How our audit addressed it
The Group has incurred exploration andevaluation costs for exploration projects inAustralia over a number of years.There is a risk that the Group may lose orrelinquish its rights to explore and evaluatethose areas of interest and therefore amountscapitalised to the statement of financialposition from the current and historical periodsbe no longer recoverable.During the year no impairment charge wasrecognised in relation to explorationexpenditure. Our audit procedures included the following:—Understanding and vouching the underlyingcontractual entitlement to explore and evaluateeach area of interest, including an evaluation ofthe Group's renewal in that area of interest at itsexpiry;—Examining project spend per each area ofinterest and comparing this spend to theminimum expenditure requirements set out in theunderlying exploration expenditure plan;—Examining project spend to each area of interestto ensure that it is directly attributable to that areaof interest;—Verifying the vesting charge capitalised inrespect of performance shares issued to theBeharra Sands Vendors; and—From an overall perspective, comparing themarket capitalisation of the Group to the netcarrying value of its assets on the statement offinancial position to identify any other additionalindicators of impairment.We also assessed the adequacy of the Group'sdisclosures in the financial report.
ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE SHARES TO KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL
Area of focusRefer also to Notes 2, 9, 12 and the Remuneration Report How our audit addressed it
During the year the Group has issuedperformance shares to the Directors. Our audit procedures included:
These performance shares include a number ofnon- vesting conditions tied to a variety ofexploration and evaluation and mining activity —Agreeing the material terms and conditions ofeach share-based payment arrangement toplan documentation;
milestones.The valuation of such performance sharesrequires significant judgement and expertise,particularly in determining the likelihood of thenon-vesting conditions occurring. —Examining the share-based paymentarrangements to determine theappropriateness of identifying each sharebased payment arrangement and agreeingthe grant date;
—Assessing the inputs in the calculation ofshare-based payment arrangements;
—Assessing the reasonableness of non-vestingconditions, including achieving the explorationand evaluation and mining targets; and
—Reviewing the appropriateness of thedisclosure impact of the share-based paymentarrangements, particularly for their impact inthe Remuneration Report for plan recipientswhich form part of key managementpersonnel.
We also assessed the adequacy of the Group'sdisclosures in the financial report.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included 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 accordingly 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 these financial statements is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
