Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of Compliance
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. 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.
Basis of Preparation
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. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
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.
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 for the year of $996,620 (2013: $486,680) and net cash outflows from operating activities of $648,071 (2013: $404,821) for the year ended 30 June 2014, and as at that date had a working capital deficiency of $343,381 (2013: $48,375).
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon successfully raising sufficient working capital. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Company will have sufficient cash flows to meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the 12 month period from the date of signing this financial report. Included in this cash flow forecast is a capital raising of $200,000 in October 2014. RM Corporate Finance Pty Ltd (a company associated with Mr Guy Le Page) has signed a letter of financial support, confirming that it will provide financial support to the Company to enable it to pay its debts as and when they fall due until such time as the Company can successfully raise sufficient funds.
Based on the cash flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. In particular, given the Company’s history of raising capital from existing shareholders.
Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or to the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.

a. Comparatives
When required by accounting standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
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.

for the year ended 30 June 2014 (Continued)
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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 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.
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 to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
d. Leases
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.

for the year ended 30 June 2014 (Continued)
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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.
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.
The Company does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.
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 valuation where a Company of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in the carrying value being included in profit or loss.

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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 subsequently measured at amortised cost. 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).
Financial Liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities, including borrowings and trade and other payables, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The company derecognises financial liabilities when and only when the company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable 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.
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. The useful lives of these intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite.
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 |
| Method used | Amortised over the term of the patent and revalued to fair value where deemed appropriate |
| Internally generated /Acquired | Acquired |
| Impairment test / Recoverable amount Testing | Annually and where an indicator of impairment exists |

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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. Foreign currencies
Functional and presentation currency
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the company’s functional currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Nonmonetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in profit or loss.
j. 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.

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
k. 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.
l. 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).
m. 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.
n. 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.
o. 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 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 Companies 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 $147,500 and development costs with carrying value of $346,324, which relate 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.
Share based payment transactions
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the assumptions detailed in note 16.
For equity transactions with consultants and other employees, the fair value reflects the value attributable to services where applicable. Where there is no quantifiable value of services the value of options is calculated using the Black and Scholes option pricing model, or the quoted bid price where applicable.
p. New accounting standards for application in the current period
In the current year, the Company has applied a number of new and revised AASB’s issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are mandatorily effective from an accounting period on or after 1 January 2013.
The Group has applied AASB 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ for the first time in the current year. AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of AASB 13 is broad; the fair value measurement requirements of AASB 13 apply to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items.
AASB 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair value under AASB 13 is an exit price regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Also, AASB 13 includes extensive disclosure requirements.
In addition, standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures were adopted. The impact of the application of these standards is not material.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 (Continued)
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
q. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard.
Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (ie unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date.
As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data.
To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (i.e. the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (ie the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).
For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant's ability to use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The fair value of liabilities and the entity's own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements.
Valuation techniques
In the absence of an active market for an identical asset or liability, the Group selects and uses one or more valuation techniques to measure the fair value of the asset or liability, The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the Group are consistent with one or more of the following valuation approaches:
Market approach: valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
Income approach: valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single discounted present value.
Cost approach: valuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity.
ABN 39 078 388 155 24 Soil Sub Technologies
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2014 (Continued)
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique, the Group gives priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are developed using the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable.
Fair value hierarchy
AASB 13 requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows:
Level 1
Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2
Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
Level 3
Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3.
The Group would change the categorisation within the fair value hierarchy only in the following circumstances:
-
(i) if a market that was previously considered active (Level 1) became inactive (Level 2 or Level 3) or vice versa; or
-
(ii) if significant inputs that were previously unobservable (Level 3) became observable (Level 2) or vice versa.
When a change in the categorisation occurs, the Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy (i.e. transfers into and out of each level of the fair value hierarchy) on the date the event or change in circumstances occurred.
r. Interests in joint operations
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
ABN 39 078 388 155 25 Soil Sub Technologies
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 (Continued)
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
When a group entity undertakes its activities under joint operations, the Group as a joint operator recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation:
-
its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;
-
its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;
-
its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;
-
its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and
-
its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.
The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the AASBs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
When a group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a group entity is a joint operator (such as a sale or contribution of assets), the Group is considered to be conducting the transaction with the other parties to the joint operation, and gains and losses resulting from the transactions are recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements only to the extent of other parties' interests in the joint operation.
When a group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a group entity is a joint operator (such as a purchase of assets), the Group does not recognise its share of the gains and losses until it resells those assets to a third party.
- s. New accounting standards for application in future periods
At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Standards and Interpretations listed below were in issue but not yet effective.
The Group does not anticipate that there will be a material effect on the financial statements from the adoption of these standards.

Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses carried forward have not been brought to account at 30 June 2014 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 to the tax legislation adversely affect the company in realizing the benefit from the deductions for the loss.

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.

(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 2014.
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
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. The company is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments.
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

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 2014, and the statement of profit or loss and other 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 information and the directors’ declaration.
==> picture [238 x 13] 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 [117 x 13] 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 company’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 company’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.

In conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.

As disclosed in Note 10 to the financial statements, the Company has recorded intangible assets related to Licenses and Patents with a carrying value of $147,500 and Capitalised Development costs with a carrying value of $346,324 which relates to the Company’s Nutrimix products. 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 remain uncertain. As such, we have not been able to obtain sufficient evidence to support the carrying value of these assets.

As disclosed in Note 9 to the financial statements, the Company has recorded a loan receivable with a carrying value of $1,505,067 which relates to funds lent to Platinum JV Development Sdn Bhd. We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on the financial position as at 30 June 2014 and financial performance for the year ended 30 June 2014 of Platinum JV Development Sdn Bhd to assess the recoverability of the loan receivable as at 30 June 2014. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these amounts were necessary.

In our opinion except for the effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraphs:
-
a. The financial report of Soil Sub Technologies Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
i. giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 30 June 2014 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
ii. complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and
-
b. The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.
==> picture [76 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
Without further qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of $996,620 during the year ended 30 June 2014. This condition, along with other matters as set forth in note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

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 ongoing 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.

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.
