Principal Activities and Significant Changes in Nature of Activities
The Company has been actively assessing the Nutrimix and soil substitute technologies as its principal activity.
Operating Results
The loss for the financial year after providing for income tax amounted to $424,437 (2011: $777,778 loss).
Review of Operations
The Company’s consultants have been trialling raw inputs to ascertain the composting time frame required to produce soil supplements, potting mixes and potentially a low cost organic fertiliser as part of the newly developed range of Nutrimix products.
Some 24 treatments have been established using the organic waste material from several agricultural industries and based on analysis of nutrients, combinations of these wastes form the basis of the materials tested during the trials.
The initial visual changes observed by the testing team appear to be very encouraging as the compost treatments are rolled over to accelerate the breakdown of raw material into a finer component.
The waste materials chosen for these trials are those that are readily available adjacent to all major rural centres around Australia to enable any future manufacturing facility to be established close to source supply thereby minimising freight. This selective and simple approach to logistics will enhance the potential future manufacturing and sale of Nutrimix products and improve the potential franchising/ licensing opportunities in these centres.
During the trials special additives are also being used to augment some treatments to ascertain the changes in nutrient values when developing a product to meet the needs of different soil types.
The Company is also assessing the application of IEM (waste to clean food) waste technologies using alternative sub strait material for Nutrimix and will inform the market further as this progresses.
Dividends Paid or Recommended
No dividends were paid or declared since the start of the financial year.

Future Developments

Environmental Issues
The directors have considered the enacted National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the NGER Act) which introduces a single national reporting framework for the reporting and dissemination of information about the greenhouse gas emissions, greenhouse gas projects, and energy use and production of corporations. At the current stage of development, the directors have determined that the NGER Act will have no effect on the company for the current, nor subsequent, financial year. The directors will reassess this position as and when the need arises.

-
No indemnity has been paid to auditors.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2012,
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards including Australian Accounting Interpretation, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial report covers the Company of Soil Sub Technologies Limited and has been prepared in Australian dollars. Soil Sub Technologies Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the entity in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.
GOING CONCERN
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Company incurred a loss from ordinary activities of $424,437 for the year ended 30 June 2012 (2010: $777,778 loss).
The ability of the Company to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent upon successfully raising sufficient working capital, the successful commercialisation of the soil substitute product, and the continued support of its Board.
Management is currently in the process of raising working capital, however as at the date of this report, these negotiations remain on going, and the ultimate outcome of these negotiations remains uncertain.
Should the Company not be successful in its above initiatives, it may be necessary to sell some of its assets, and reduce expenditure by various methods. Although the Directors believe that they will be successful in these measures, if they are not, the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore may be unable to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
As a result of these matters, a material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, as described above. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.
a. Comparatives
When required by accounting standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2012
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
b. Income Tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated 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 enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
c. Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class or property, plant and equipment is carried at cost of fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in the profit and loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present.
ABN 39 078 388 155 Soil Sub Technologies
13
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2012
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged ot the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership that is transferred to entities in the Company are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.
e. Financial Instruments
Recognition and Initial Measurement
Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
Finance instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2012
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Amortised cost is calculated as:
-
a) the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition;
-
b) less principal repayments;
-
c) plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method ; and
-
d) less any reduction for impairment.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss
Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other loans and receivables are classified as non-current assets).
Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Company’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other investments are classified as current assets).If during the period the Company sold or reclassified more than an insignificant amount of the held-to-maturity investments before maturity, the entire held-to-maturity investments category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.
Available-for-sale financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other financial assets are classified as current assets).

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2012
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Derivative instruments
Derivative instruments are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken to the statement of comprehensive income unless they are designated as hedges.
Fair value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
De-recognition
Financial assets are de-recognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are de-recognised where the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
f. Impairment of Assets
At each the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
g. Intangibles
Patents and Licences
Patents and licences are recognised at cost of acquisition. Patents and licences have a finite life and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Patents and licences are amortised over their useful life ranging from 12 to 20 years.
Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists and in the case of indefinite lived intangibles annually, either individually or at the cash generating unit level. Useful lives are also examined on an annual basis and adjustments, where applicable, are made on a prospective basis.
A summary of the policies applied to the Company’s intangible assets is as follows:
| Patents and trademarks | |
|---|---|
| Useful lives | 12 – 20 years |
| Amortised over the term of the patent and revalued to fair value where deemed appropriate |
|
| Method used | |
| Internally generated /Acquired | Acquired |
| Impairment test / Recoverable amount Testing | Annually and where an indicator of impairment exists |
Research and development
Research costs are expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the consolidated entity is able to use or sell the asset; the consolidated entity has sufficient resources; and talent to complete the development and its costs can be measured reliably. Capitalised development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 10 years.
h. Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee entitlements expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising from wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave which will be settled after one year, have been measured at their nominal amount. Other employee entitlements payable later than one year have also been measured at their nominal amount.
Contributions are made by the Company to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred.
i. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
j. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
k. Revenue and Other Income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
l. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use of sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.
m. Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
n. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company.
Key Judgment – Environmental Issues
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Company’s development and its current environmental impact the directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate.
Key Estimate – Taxation
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, are based on the best estimates of directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Company as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors’ best estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office.

Key Estimate – Intangibles
Licences and Patents
The Company has recorded intangible assets related to Licences and Patents with a carrying value of $200,000 which relates to the Company’s Nutrimix products which can be used as a soil substitute. The reasonableness of the carrying value of intangibles is intrinsically linked to the continued operation of the Company into the future and primarily dependent on the economic benefits associated with these assets being realised. Should the Company be able to successfully commercialise this product and derive a sufficient level of income, then the carrying value of the asset may be supported.
Development
The Company has recorded intangible assets related to Capitalised Development with a carrying value of $432,906. Development expenditure is recognised at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Where commercial production in an area of interest has commenced, the associated costs are amortised over the estimated economic life of the project.
The financial report was authorised for issue on the 30th of August 2012 by the board of directors.

Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses carried forward have not been brought to account at 30 June 2012 because the directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the deferred tax assets as probable at this point in time. These benefits will only be obtained if:
-
i. the company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the loss to be realised;
-
ii. the company continues to comply with conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and
-
iii. no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the company in realising the benefit from the deductions for the loss.

At the shareholders’ meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.
(b) Capital Management:
The Directors’ objectives when managing capital are to ensure that the Company can fund its operations and continue as a going concern, so that they may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, the Company does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Company’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Company to meet business development and corporate overheads. The Company’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.
The working capital position of the Company at 30 June 2011 and 30 June 2012 are as follows:

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments
(a) Accounting policies adopted
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Company.
(b) Segment assets
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to that segment that receives majority economic value from that asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.
(c) Segment liabilities
Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings.

NOTE 22. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a) Financial Risk Management
The company’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks and accounts payable.
The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for company operations.
The company does not have any derivative instruments at 30 June 2012.
i. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the company might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities.
The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Company. Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, the Company does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. The Board of Directors constantly monitor the state of equity markets in conjunction with the Company’s current and future funding requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. Any surplus funds are invested with major financial institutions.
The financial liabilities of the Company are confined to trade and other payables as disclosed in the Statement of financial position. All trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 12 months of the reporting date.
ii. Market Risk
The Board meets on a regular basis to analyse currency and interest rate exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts.

Interest rate risk is not material to the company as no debt arrangements have been entered into.
Foreign exchange risk
The company is not exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies.
Price risk
The Company is not exposed to any material commodity price risk.
iii. Credit Risk

NOTE 25. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODS
The AASB has issued new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods and which the company has decided not to early adopt. A discussion of those future requirements and their impact on the company is as follows:
- AASB 2011-9: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income [AASB 101] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 30 June 2013). This standard requires entities to group items presented in other comprehensive income on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently (reclassification adjustments).
ABN 39 078 388 155 Soil Sub Technologies
29
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2012
NOTE25. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODS
- AASB 2011-4: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements [AASB 124] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 30 June 2014).
This standard makes amendments to remove individual key management personnel disclosure requirements from AASB 124
- AASB 9: Financial instruments (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 31 December 2013).
AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. It was further amended by AASB 2010-7 to reflect amendments to the accounting for financial liabilities.
These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 139. The main changes are described below.
-
(a) Financial assets that are debt instruments will be classified based on (1) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; (2) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows.
-
(b) Allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument.
-
(c) Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases.
-
(d) Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities the change in fair value is to be accounted for as follows:
==> picture [8 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [8 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
- The change attributable to changes in credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income (OCI)
The remaining change is presented in profit or loss
If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in the profit or loss, the effect of the changes in credit risk are also presented in profit or loss.
Consequential amendments were also made to other standards as a result of AASB 9, introduced by AASB 200911
- AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 31 December 2013).
AASB 10 establishes a new control model that applies to all entities. It replaces parts of AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements dealing with the accounting for consolidated financial statements and UIG-112 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities.
The new control model broadens the situations when an entity is considered to be controlled by another entity and includes new guidance for applying the model to specific situations, including when acting as a manager may give control, the impact of potential voting rights and when holding less than a majority voting rights may give control. This is likely to lead to more entities being consolidated into the group.
Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-7 and amendments to AASB 127.
-
AASB 11: Joint Arrangements (applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 31 December 2013).
AASB 11 replaces AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures and UIG- 113 Jointly- controlled Entities – Non-monetary Contributions by Ventures. AASB 11 uses the principle of control in AASB 10 to define joint control, and therefore the determination of whether joint control exists may change. In addition it removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, accounting for a joint arrangement is dependent on the nature of the rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Joint operations that give the venturers a right to the underlying assets and obligations themselves is accounted for by recognising the share of those assets and obligations. Joint ventures that give the venturers a right to the net assets is accounted for using the equity method. This may result in a change in the accounting for the joint arrangements held by the group. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-7 and amendments to AASB128.
- AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 31 December 2013).

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2012
NOTE 25. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODS (Continued)
AASB 12 includes all disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structures entities. New disclosures have been introduced about the judgements made by management to determine whether control exists, and to require summarised information about joint arrangements, associates and structured entities and subsidiaries with non-controlling interests.
- AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement (applies to periods beginning on or after 31 December 2013).
AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance under AASB for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value when fair value is required or permitted. Application of this definition may result in different fair values being determined for the relevant assets.
AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes information about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined.

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Soil Sub Technologies Limited (“the Company”), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2012, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration.
==> picture [237 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report 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 is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standards AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards .
==> picture [116 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

As disclosed in Note 9 to the financial statements, the Company has recorded intangible assets related to Licences and Patents with a carrying value of $200,000 and Capitalised Development costs with a carrying value of $432,906 which relates to the Company’s Nutrimix products which can be used as a soil substitute. The reasonableness of the carrying value of intangibles is intrinsically linked to the continued operation of the Company into the future and primarily dependent on the economic benefits associated with these assets being realised. Should the Company be able to successfully commercialise this product and derive a sufficient level of income, then the carrying value of the asset may be supported. However, at the date of this report the eventual outcome of these events remains uncertain. As such, we have not been able to obtain sufficient evidence to support the Company’s assessment of the carrying value of these assets.
==> picture [78 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
As disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Company incurred a loss from ordinary activities of $424,437 for the year ended 30 June 2012 (2010: $777,778 loss).
The ability of the Company to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent upon successfully raising sufficient working capital, the successful commercialisation of the soil substitute product, and the continued support of its Board.
Management is currently in the process of raising working capital, however as at the date of this report, these negotiations remain on going, and the ultimate outcome of these negotiations remains uncertain.
Should the Company be unsuccessful in its above initiatives, it may be necessary to sell some of its assets, and reduce expenditure by various methods. Although the Directors believe that they will be successful in these measures, if they are not, the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore may be unable to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
As a result of these matters, a material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, as described above. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.

Corporate Governance Statement
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of the Company on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.
The Company’s Corporate Governance Policies are structured with reference to the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s principles and recommendations, which are as follows:
Principle 1 – Lay solid foundations for the management and oversight
Principle 2 – Structure the board to add value
Principle 3 – Promote ethical and responsible decision making
Principle 4 – Safeguard integrity in financial reporting
Principle 5 – Make timely and balanced disclosure
Principle 6 – Respect the rights of shareholders
Principle 7 – Recognise and manage risk
Principle 8 – Remunerate fairly and responsibly
The Company’s corporate governance policies were in place by the year ended 30 June 2010 and were mainly consistent with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s best practice recommendations.
Any director may nominate a person to be considered for appointment as a director of the Company, either as an additional director or as a replacement for a retiring director. Criteria for Board membership rests on Board’s assessment of the capacity of a nominee to contribute to the Company. Membership of the Board of Directors is reviewed on an on-going basis by the Chairman of the Board.
The terms and conditions relating to the appointment and retirement of directors are determined by the Board on an individual basis at the time of appointment of the director and are reviewed by the Chairman on an on-going basis.
Each director of the Company or a controlled entity has the right to seek independent professional advice at the expense of the Company, however prior approval of the Chairman is required which will not be unreasonably withheld.
The remuneration of executive directors and non-executive directors is reviewed by the Board of directors with the exclusion of the director concerned. The remuneration of other senior executives (of the Company) is approved by the Chairman. Directors are not remunerated in accordance with the performance of the Company.
The nomination of external auditors and the review of the adequacy of external audit arrangements is the responsibility of the Board of Directors as a whole.
The Board has established the following standing Committee to assist the Board in the execution of its responsibilities:
The Audit Committee.
Other committees may from time to time be established by the Board in accordance with the Constitution or to deal with matters of special importance.
ABN 39 078 388 155 Soil Sub Technologies

Corporate Governance Statement
In particular the Board also recognises the important function traditionally fulfilled by a Nomination Committee and a Remuneration Committee. To this end, although due to the Company’s size and operational base, a separately constituted committee of the Board is perceived not to be warranted, nevertheless the Board commits that from time to time (and as necessary) to discretely address the function traditionally addressed by a Nomination Committee and a Remuneration Committee.
Responsibility for establishing and maintaining effective risk management strategies rests with senior management, accountable to the Executive Chairman and the Audit and Risk Management Committee of the Board.
All directors, executives and staff of the Company and of all controlled entities, if any, are required to abide by the legal requirements, the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange and the highest standards of ethical conduct as recognised in each relevant jurisdiction in which the Company operates and with regard to their personal trading in the securities of the Company including the use of trading windows.
