Annual Report – 30 June 2017

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Chairman’s Letter

I am pleased to present the 2016/17 Annual Report for CI Resources Limited (Company).

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

As reported by our Managing Director, despite a difficult financial year, the Directors are pleased to report a profit after tax of $20.5million. The Managing Director has commented on the negative outlook for pricing on our phosphate products and the steps being put in place to maintain our overall profitability.

DIVIDENDS

Despite this reduced profit, the Board has continued with a policy of making substantial dividend payments to return retained earnings to shareholders before funds are required for other growth investments.

The Board has approved a final fully franked dividend of 7 cents per share. The record date for payment is the 2nd October 2017 with payment to be made on 7 November 2017.

CHRISTMAS ISLAND

The future of our operations on Christmas Island and that of the Christmas Island community are under pressure!

Our future has been jeopardized by a decade of governments, both Labor and Liberal, that have concentrated on the internal politics of the maintenance of power as distinct from the responsible exercise of the powers of office in the development of public policy to ensure maintenance of the economy in the interest of the community as a whole. The national implications of this vacuum has allowed bureaucratic decisions without regard to the social and economic consequences of same.

In the case of Christmas Island this has resulted in the effective delineation of the whole Island as a de-facto National Park.

Christmas Island is an Australian Government territory located in the Indian Ocean at latitude 10˚25’ south and longitude 105˚40’ east and is approximately 2,300km from Perth, Western Australia and approximately 380 km south of Jakarta.

Christmas Island is some 138 square kilometres (13,800 hectares) of a seamount rising with cliff faces from very deep seas to a central plateau.

It has been mined for phosphate since the 1890s and from the end of the Second World War by Australian government controlled entities until 1988 and mining continues as the major economic support for the 1,200 permanent residents.

The Island has unique monsoonal forests, flora and fauna. The Christmas Island National Park was established in 1980 and with extensions in 1986 and 1989 now comprises 8,770 hectares or 63.5% of the Island. We contribute, in addition to our normal taxation obligations, some $2million a year directly to the maintenance and improvement of the National Park to ensure that this environmental heritage is preserved and protected for future generations from its major issues which are the impact of invasive species from crazy ants, wolf snakes and feral cats and rats.

We currently operate under Mining Leases for salvage of stockpiles and secondary in situ recovery over previously mined and cleared ground issued by the Minister under Applied W.A. Legislation which runs until 2034 with access approved to some 1,040 hectares or 7.5% of the Island. That is, despite public perceptions generated by environmental activists, mining itself has minimal observable impact on the total Island land mass and its unique ecology.

Based on our estimation of indicated and inferred resources and best judgements on current commercial parameters it is reasonable to aim to sustain viable operations through to the mid 2020’s although price competition may have severe impacts on our profitability.

Annual Report – 30 June 2017

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Chairman’s Letter

To meet this challenge and extend operational viability the Company has undertaken a review of resources outside the National Park that may, if supported by Executive Government, enable it to access sufficient material to sustain operations into the 2030’s.

In early 2016, the then Minister for Territories authorised the grant of an exploration licence over vacant Crown Land outside the National Park to enable us to undertake check drilling and evaluation to enable us to accurately determine boundaries for a new Mining Lease application.

In accordance with the licence conditions we obtained a Clearing Permit under the Applied Legislation (Environmental Protection Act 1986 ( WA) (CI)) to re-clear 8 hectares of old drill lines.

However, this activity has been stopped by officers of the Commonwealth Environment Department who are insisting that permits are required as well under Commonwealth Regulations even though they acknowledge that the activity itself does not require ministerial approval as it will not have a significant impact on the environment.

The permit regulations are designed to cover random scientific studies of protected species.

Despite extensive input and representations to the Ministers involved and the Department we have not yet received any resolution of this matter and the obvious conflict of laws we have encountered.

When we overcome this impediment and complete our review, we are confident that only some 130 hectares (less than 1% of total Island) would be required for mining and any environmental impacts would be capable of being managed within the framework of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

However, the company believes that no applications for either mining or any other significant alternative commercial development will be supported by the Department of the Environment unless Executive Government issues a policy pronouncement that welcomes and supports the development of land outside the National Park.

A failure of Executive Government to address this issue and to articulate a clear view of the long term development of the Island will mean that there is no post mining future possible for the Island community. Without new commercial activity being approved it is also difficult to see in the current Commonwealth budget context where the funds are going to be derived to ensure continuance of the programmes required to underpin the unique Island ecology.

DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY

The Board has determined to continue pursuing investments in accord with its current "diversified industrial" strategy - in the sectors of phosphate, mining, infrastructure and land development, and agriculture.

Despite the difficulties encountered we will continue to explore post mining alternatives for Christmas Island but are actively pursuing other options for investment elsewhere to protect our shareholders interest.

FUTURE

The Board of the Company is satisfied that the Company continues to have a very sound financial underpinning as reflected in the published balance sheet and will continue to perform positively.

We remain confident that our strong financial base coupled with a vigorous management approach will ensure that we will be able to maintain viability and capture growth opportunities when they arise.

I finally take this opportunity on behalf of the Board to thank our employees, managers and executives for their contributions to a successful outcome in challenging circumstances.

Annual Report – 30 June 2017

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Managing Director’s Report

I am pleased to again have the opportunity to report to you arising from the tabling of the CI Resources Ltd, Annual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2017.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTION OVERVIEW

The Consolidated result was recorded as a profit after tax for FY 2017 of some $20 million with an after tax profit from Phosphate Resources Limited (excluding its subsidiaries) of only some $13 million.

This is a disappointing result arising from reduced output and declining sales prices.

Coupled with external trading the group sales of phosphate products only reached 644,000 tonnes a significant reduction from prior years. Abnormally wet weather particularly in October has disrupted production and led to substantial damage to our infrastructure. We have also suffered major equipment damage and failures of both our own equipment and the loss of the Commonwealth port crane. These problems have significantly increased our costs and reduced our production capacity.

The market price achievable for our products has also suffered a substantial decline impacted by competition from increased production and dumping by largely State owned North African producers from Saudi Arabia to Morocco. Lower oil costs has made shipping from that region into the Asean area far more competitive than in the past.

The impact of increases in the value of the Australian dollar is also having a major effect on our margins. To maintain our profitability it is essential that we improve the efficiency of our operations so that the unit costs of our production is reduced.

To achieve this we have implemented significant organisational changes so that the leaders of our mining and processing groups can respond more rapidly and flexibly to changing market, weather and production issues across the operations. A new more sophisticated mining plan is being implemented to ensure customer grade requirements are met and we maximise the mine life potential of available resources. We have commenced major capital works to ensure our infrastructure is able to safely meet our production needs going forward. We are also committing additional resources to ensure our employees are upskilled so that they can perform their functions safely and comply with all the increasingly onerous legislative recording requirements impacting on operations. A continuing review of work methods and resource allocation is being conducted across all sections of our operations to ensure we are maximising our efficiency in order to stay competitive

However, we still need commitments from the Commonwealth and the Shire to ensure the port infrastructure, public roads and drainage challenges are properly addressed if we are to remain viable.

GROUP DEVELOPMENTS

Both Indian Ocean Oil Company Pty Ltd and CI Maintenance Services Pty Ltd, wholly owned subsidiaries of Phosphate Resources Ltd, who provide services largely to Commonwealth entities on Christmas Island continue to return good profits and make significant contributions to the consolidated results of the Group.

RESOURCES AND PROJECTS

As our Chairman has reported we continue to battle an entrenched and increasingly ideological bureaucracy in our endeavours to obtain access to further resources on Christmas Island on spurious environmental grounds.

We have increased our activity reviewing options for further investment in phosphate, bio-phosphates and other fertilizer options both in Australia and elsewhere with a view to undertake investments to ensure long term viability and ongoing returns for shareholders.

Annual Report – 30 June 2017

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Managing Director’s Report

THE YEAR AHEAD

As I have outlined we face ongoing pressure on our margins going forward and will need all managers and employees to maintain a flexible and dedicated approach to our operations to ensure we can sustain a viable operation for as long as possible.

We will continue to work constructively with the Commonwealth government and the Shire of Christmas Island to improve essential Island infrastructure.

In closing I would thank the Board members and my senior managers and employees for their continued efforts and support.

Directors’ report

Likely developments and expected results

Based on the current commercial and legislative parameters we are confident that there are sufficient indicated and inferred resources available to sustain a viable mining operation for at least a further five years and that the palm oil business will continue to provide reasonable returns for the forseeable future.

The Directors note that current strategies suggest that the 2017 financial year will see the Consolidated Entity remain profitable.

Additional information on likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity and the expected results of those operations have not been included in this report because the Directors believe that it would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Company.

Environmental regulation and performance

The Consolidated Entity’s holds various licenses regulating its mining and exploration activities on Christmas Island and also holds environmental licences from the operation of a palm oil mill issued by Malaysian Government.

Licenses issued by the Commonwealth Government of Australia and Malaysian Government include general environmental conditions, air pollution control conditions and water control conditions.

There have been no significant known breaches of the Consolidated Entity’s licenses.

Directors’ report

Remuneration report (Audited)

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:

  • A Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

  • B Details of remuneration

  • C Service agreements

  • D Share-based compensation

  • E Additional information

The information in this section has been audited as required by section 308(3c) of the Corporations Act 2001.

A Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

In order to maintain and attract directors to facilitate the efficient and effective management of the Consolidated Entity’s operations, the board established a Remuneration and Nominations Committee on 9 March 2015 which reviews the remuneration of directors on an annual basis and makes recommendations to the Board.

Aside from the discretionary bonus disclosed in the remuneration report, no other link exists, at this stage in the Company’s development, between financial performance, shareholder wealth and the remuneration of Directors and Key Management Personnel.

Non-executive directors

Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of the directors. Non-executive directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Remuneration & Nominations Committee and the committee makes recommendations to the Board. The Board also ensures nonexecutive directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market as determined by comparison with companies of a similar size. The Chairman’s fees are determined independently to the fees of non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The Chairman is not present at any discussions relating to determination of his own remuneration.

Directors’ fees

The current base remuneration was last reviewed on 15 June 2017. Directors’ remuneration is inclusive of committee fees.

Non-executive directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The total maximum currently stands at $400,000.

Remuneration packages may contain the following key elements:

  • Director’s fees

  • Consultancy fees

  • Post-employment benefits – superannuation

  • Performance bonuses

  • Other non-cash benefits

Remuneration report (Audited) (continued)

The directors are also remunerated for any additional services they render the Company and such services are carried out under normal commercial terms and conditions. Engagement and payment for such services are approved by the other directors with no interest in the engagement of such services.

Executive remuneration

The objective of the Consolidated Entity’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and conforms with market best practice for delivery of reward. The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

  • competitiveness and reasonableness

  • acceptability to shareholders

  • performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation

  • transparency

  • capital management.

The Consolidated Entity has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complimentary to the reward strategy of the organisation.

Alignment to shareholders’ interests:

  • focuses on exploration success as the creation of shareholder value and returns

  • attracts and retains high calibre executives.

Alignment to program participants’ interests:

  1. rewards capability and experience

  2. reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth

  3. provides a clear structure for earning rewards

  4. provides recognition for contribution.

The executive pay and reward framework has the following components:

  • Fixed remuneration (base salary, superannuation & other non-monetary benefits)

  • Variable Remuneration (incentives through participation in bonus arrangements)

The combination of these components comprises the executive’s total remuneration.

Fixed Remuneration

  • Base salary

Structured as a total employment cost package which may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits at the executives’ discretion.

Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards. Base pay for senior executives is reviewed annually to ensure the executive’s pay is competitive with the market.

  • Non-monetary benefits

Executives may receive benefits including memberships, car allowances and reasonable entertainment.

  • Retirement benefits

  • Directors and employees are permitted to nominate a superannuation fund of their choice to receive superannuation contributions.

Retirement allowances for directors

There is no provision for retirement allowances for non-executive directors.

Corporate Governance Disclosures

CI Resources Limited (CI Resources or the Company) has interests in phosphate assets in Australia and palm oil plantations in Malaysia. The Company is committed to protecting and enhancing shareholder value and adopting best practice governance policies and practices.

The Corporate Governance Statement outlines the main Corporate Governance practices that were in place throughout the financial year, which comply with the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations released by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (third edition).

The following summarizes the eight recommended ASX Principles of Good Governance and the Company’s policies and procedures against each of the principles. Where a recommendation has not been followed, this is clearly stated along with an explanation for the departure.

Principle 1 – Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

The Board currently consists of seven Directors of whom, four are non-independent directors. The Board and the Company act within a statutory framework – principally the Corporations Act and also the Constitution of the Company. Subject to this statutory framework, the Board has the authority and the responsibility to perform the functions, determine the policies and control the affairs of CI Resources Limited in accordance with the Board Charter published on the Company website.

The Directors are aware of their responsibilities and obligations to protect shareholder's funds. Due care is taken to explain both the positive and negative aspects in all reports to highlight the inherent risks involved in the phosphate and palm oil plantations industry. The Board must ensure that the Company acts in accordance with prudent commercial principles and satisfies shareholders – consistent with maximising the Company’s long term value.

The Board of Directors determines the strategic direction of the Company by regularly monitoring and evaluating the performance and status of each of the Company's projects and activities. An evaluation of Board members took place in August 2017.

To assist it in carrying out its responsibilities, the Board had three Board Committees each chaired by an Independent Director as at 30 June 2017:

  • Audit & Risk Management Committee;

  • Remuneration & Nomination Committee; and

  • Investment Committee

The Board has delegated the day to day management of CI Resources and its business to the Managing Director. The Managing Director is supported in this function by Senior Executives with responsibilities as delegated by the Managing Director. Each of the Senior Executive has a formal job description and employment contract which describes their term of office, duties, rights and responsibilities and entitlements on termination. Formal performance evaluation of Senior Executives is conducted annually.

The Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board, through the Chairman, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board.

A copy of the Committees Charters can be found on the CI Resources website (www.ciresources.com.au)

Diversity Policy

CI Resources Limited recognises the value contributed to the organisation by employing people with varying skills, cultural backgrounds, ethnicity and experience. The Company believes its diverse workforce is the key to its continued growth, improved productivity and performance.

We actively value and embrace the diversity of our employees and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone is treated equally and fairly, and where discrimination, harassment and inequity are not tolerated.

Principle 2 – Structure the board to add value

The Board comprises of a Non-executive Independent Chairman, three Executive Directors and three NonExecutive Directors (of whom 2 are Independent).

The Board is satisfied that the current mix of independent and non- independent Directors is in the best interests of the Company and ensures that the Company has available the requisite levels of skill and experience in both the phosphate and palm oil sectors.

Full details of the Company’s Board of Directors and their relevant experience and skills are detailed within the Directors’ Report. The Company’s Constitution requires that one third of the members of the Board retire by rotation each year but they are eligible for re-election.

Any new Director appointed holds office only until the next general meeting and is then eligible for re-election.

The Board will ensure that any such person to be appointed as a Director possesses an appropriate level of qualifications, expertise and experience. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee review the board composition annually to ensure it continues to have the right balance of skills, experience, independence and knowledge to discharge its responsibilities.

Under the Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter, the Committee must have at least three members who are non-executive directors with a majority of whom are independent directors. The Chair of the Board must not be the Chair of the Committee.

Key terms and conditions relating to the appointment of non-executive directors are set out in a formal letter of appointment.

Principle 3 – Act ethically and responsibly

The Board place great emphasis on ethics and integrity in all its business dealings and the Board considers the business practices and ethics exercised by individual board members and key executives to be of the highest standards.

The Board, being committed to the highest standards of ethical business conduct has adopted a formal Code of Conduct to guide executives, management and staff in carrying out their duties and responsibilities. The Code is subject to ongoing review to ensure that the Company’s standards of behaviour and corporate culture reflect best practice in corporate governance. The Code is based on the following key principles:

  • acting with honesty and integrity

The ARC is responsible for the appointment of the external auditors of the Company, and will time to time review the scope, performance and fees of those external auditors. The Company has retained Ernst & Young as its auditors. The Ernst & Young partner managing the external audit will attend the 2017 AGM and be available to respond to shareholder’s questions relating to external audit.

The ARC is responsible for engaging independent audit consultants to carry out an internal audit program across designated operational functions.

Under the Audit & Risk Management Committee Charter, the Committee must have at least three members, who are non-executive directors with a majority of independent directors. The Committee members must have basic knowledge of finance and accounting practices. The Chair of the Board must not be the Chair of the Committee.

A copy of the Audit & Risk Management Charter can be found on the CI Resources website. (www.ciresources.com.au)

Principle 5 – Make timely and balanced disclosure

The Company complied with all disclosure requirements to ensure that it manages the disclosure of price sensitive information effectively and in accordance with the requirements as set out by regulatory bodies. All market disclosures are approved by the Board.

The Chairman and Company Secretaries are authorised to communicate with shareholders and the market in relation to Board approved disclosures. The Chairman and Company Secretaries are responsible for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure to the Australian Securities Exchange, analysts, broker, shareholders, the media and the public.

Principle 6 – Respect the rights of shareholders

The Company has a positive strategy to communicate with shareholders and actively promote shareholder involvement in the Company. It aims to continue to increase and improve the information available to shareholders on its website. All Company announcements, presentations to analysts and other significant briefings are posted on the Company’s website after release to the Australian Securities Exchange. (www.ciresources.com.au)

Please refer to details of the Audit & Risk Management Committee under Principle 4.

The Audit & Risk Management Committee oversees the establishment, implementation and ongoing review of the Company’s risk management and internal control system.

The Christmas Island operations are carried on in an environmentally sensitive area and accordingly operations are carefully monitored to ensure compliance with approved Environmental Management Plans developed in accordance with legislative requirements.

The Company maintains and reviews annually comprehensive Public Liability and “All Risks” insurance policies for all its business and operational activities.

The Board has received assurance from the Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer that, the directors’ declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act , is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

Principle 8 – Remunerate fairly and responsibly

The Board has established the Remuneration & Nomination Committee. The Committee operates under a formal Remuneration & Investment Committee Charter which is published on the Company’s website. The role of the Committee is to review and assist the Board to determine and review compensation arrangements for the Directors, the Managing Director, and Senior Executives. The Directors fees are determined by the Company in general meetings and other consulting services are remunerated at levels agreed by the Board of Directors. Access is available to the Company’s auditors and senior managers, and the ability to consult independent experts when necessary.

In relation to non-executive directors, there are presently no schemes for termination or retirement benefits, other than statutory superannuation.

The Board recognises that the interests of all stakeholders will be best served when the Company, its directors and staff adhere to highest standards of business ethics and comply with the law.

Other than disclosed above, during the Consolidated Entity’s financial period the Company has complied with the ASX Principles and Recommendations.

Annual Report – 30 June 2017

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2017

1. Corporate Information

This financial report of CI Resources Limited (‘Company’) for the year ended 30 June 2017 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (‘Group’). The financial report of CI Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2017 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 30 August 2017.

The separate financial statements of the parent entity, CI Resources Limited, have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.

CI Resources Limited is a for profit company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to the financial year ended 30 June 2017, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritive pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis except for derivatives and biological assets, which have been measured at fair value.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($’000), unless otherwise stated.

The financial report covers the Consolidated Entity of CI Resources Limited and its controlled entities and has been prepared on an accruals basis.

(a) Compliance with IFRS

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

(b) New account ting standards and interpretations

  • (i) Changes in accounting policy

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the year end report are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016, except for the adoption of new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations effective 1 July 2016, including:

  • AASB 2014-3 : Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards –Accounting for Acquisition of Interest in Joint Operations (AASB 1 & AASB 11)

  • AASB 2014-4 : Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation (Amendments to AASB 116 and AASB 138)

  • AASB 2014-6 : Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Agriculture: Bearer plants (AASB 101, AASB 116, AASB 117, AASB 123, AASB 136, AASB 140 & AASB 141)

  • AASB 2014-9: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements

32

Annual Report – 30 June 2017

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2017

  • AASB 2015-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards –Annual Improvements to Australian Accounting Standards 2012-2014 cycle

  • AASB 2015-2 : Amendment to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 101

  • AASB 2015-5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception

  • AASB 2015-9: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Scope and Application Paragraphs [AASB 8, AASB 133 & AASB 1057]

Other than AASB 2014-6, the adoption of the above new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or performance of the Group.

Impact of AASB 2014-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Agriculture: Bearer Plants Effective from 1 July 2016 the Group has adopted AASB 2014-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Agriculture: Bearer Plants, and the consequential amendments to AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment and AASB 141 Agriculture. These amendments distinguish bearer plants (i.e. palm oil trees), from other biological assets (i.e. fresh fruit bunches). The amended standards consider bearer plants, which are solely used to grow produce over their productive lives, to be similar to plant and equipment. Bearer plants are now accounted for under AASB 116. Previously, bearer plants and its agricultural produce were considered to be one asset prior to harvest and were carried at fair value less cost to sell both on initial recognition and subsequently. Agricultural produce growing on bearer plants remains within the scope of AASB 141 and continues to be measured at fair value less costs to sell.

Upon adoption of the amended standards, and in accordance with the transition provisions, the Group has elected to measure bear plants at their fair value at 1 July 2015 and deem this to be cost at that date.

New accounting policy – Property, Plant & Equipment (Bearer Plants)

Bearer plants are measured at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment. Prior to maturity, the costs of bearer plants includes the cost of direct materials, direct labour and other costs directly attributable to the bearer plants reaching maturity. Post maturity, maintenance costs on bearer plants are expensed as incurred.

Mature bearer plants are subject to depreciation on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The useful life of a bearer plant is estimated at 25 years.

The carrying amount of bearer plants is reviewed annually by the Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets

Comparative financial information

Comparative financial information has been restated to reflect the adoption of AASB 2014-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Agriculture: Bearer Plants in accordance with the relevant transitional requirements and AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

The changes reflect:

  • Accounting for the Bearer Plants in accordance with AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment rather than AASB 141 Agriculture – refer to new accounting policy above;

  • Depreciation expense in connection with Bearer Plants – refer to new accounting policy above; and

  • The consequential tax impact of the above changes.

requirements of IFRS 15_Revenue from Contracts with_
_Customers_issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) and developed jointly with the US
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).
AASB 15 specifies the accounting treatment for revenue
arising from contracts with customers (except for contracts
within the scope of other accounting standards such as
leases or financial instruments).The core principle of AASB
15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer
of promised goods or services to customers in an amount
that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to
be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An
entity recognises revenue in accordance with that core
principle by applying the following steps:
(a)
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
(b)
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the
contract
(c)
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
(d)
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the
performance obligations in the contract
(e)
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity
satisfies a performance obligation

The Group has done an
initial assessment of the
impact of adopting
AASB 15.
In relation to the Sales
revenue relating to sale
of goods (Phosphate) the
Group does not expect
that the adoption of
AASB 15 will have a
material impact on the
recognition and
measurement of this
revenue.
In relation to revenue
from rendering of
services, the Group is
still assessing the full
impact of service
revenue linked to
contracts, however
based on the initial
assessment the Group
does not expect that the
adoption of AASB 15
will have a material
impact on the
recognition and
measurement of this
revenue.
AASB 2015-8 amended the AASB 15 effective date so it is
now effective for annual reporting periods commencing on

or after 1 January 2018. Early application is permitted.
AASB 2014-5 incorporates the consequential amendments

to a number Australian Accounting Standards (including

Interpretations) arising from the issuance of AASB 15.
AASB 2016-3_Amendments to Australian Accounting_

provides further practical expedients on transition to AASB

15.
AASB 9 Financial
Instruments
AASB 9 (December 2014) is a new standard which
replaces AASB 139. This new version supersedes AASB 9
issued in December 2009 (as amended) and AASB 9
(issued in December 2010) and includes a model for
classification and measurement, a single, forward-looking
‘expected loss’ impairment model and a substantially-
reformed approach to hedge accounting.
AASB 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2018. However, the Standard is available
for early adoption. The own credit changes can be early
adopted in isolation without otherwise changing the
accounting for financial instruments.
Classification and measurement
AASB 9 includes requirements for a simpler approach for
classification and measurement of financial assets

standard will have an
immaterial impact on the
financial report.

n date for
Group
compared with the requirements of AASB 139. There are
also some changes made in relation to financial liabilities.
The main changes are described below.
Financial assets
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.
Financial liabilities
Changes introduced by AASB 9 in respect of financial
liabilities are limited to the measurement of liabilities
designated at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) using
the fair value option.
Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities,
the change in fair value is to be accounted for as follows:

The change attributable to changes in credit risk
are presented in other comprehensive income
(OCI)

The remaining change is presented in profit or
loss
AASB 9 also removes the volatility in profit or loss that
was caused by changes in the credit risk of liabilities
elected to be measured at fair value. This change in
accounting means that gains or losses attributable to
changes in the entity’s own credit risk would be recognised
in OCI. These amounts recognised in OCI are not recycled
to profit or loss if the liability is ever repurchased at a
discount.
Impairment
The final version of AASB 9 introduces a new expected-
loss impairment model that will require more timely
recognition of expected credit losses. Specifically, the new
Standard requires entities to account for expected credit
losses from when financial instruments are first recognised
and to recognise full lifetime expected losses on a more
timely basis.
Hedge accounting
Amendments to AASB 9 (December 2009 & 2010
editions and AASB 2013-9) issued in December 2013
included the new hedge accounting requirements, including
changes to hedge effectiveness testing, treatment of
hedging costs, risk components that can be hedged and
disclosures.
Consequential amendments were also made to other
standards as a result of AASB 9, introduced by AASB
2009-11 and superseded by AASB 2010-7, AASB 2010-
10 and AASB 2014-1 – Part E.

AASB 2014-7 incorporates the consequential amendments
arising from the issuance of AASB 9 in Dec 2014.
AASB 2014-8 limits the application of the existing versions
of AASB 9 (AASB 9 (December 2009) and AASB 9
(December 2010)) from 1 February 2015 and applies to
annual reporting periods beginning on after 1 January 2015.
AASB 16 Leases The key features of AASB 16 are as follows:
Lessee accounting
Lessees are required to recognise assets and liabilities for
all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the
underlying asset is of low value.
A lessee measures right-of-use assets similarly to other
non-financial assets and lease liabilities similarly to other
financial liabilities.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially
measured on a present value basis. The measurement
includes non-cancellable lease payments (including
inflation-linked payments), and also includes payments to
be made in optional periods if the lessee is reasonably
certain to exercise an option to extend the lease, or not to
exercise an option to terminate the lease.
AASB 16 contains disclosure requirements for lessees.
Lessor accounting
AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor
accounting requirements in AASB 117. Accordingly, a
lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or
finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases
differently.
AASB 16 also requires enhanced disclosures to be provided
by lessors that will improve information disclosed about a
lessor’s risk exposure, particularly to residual value risk.
AASB 16 supersedes:
(a) AASB 117 Leases
(b) Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement
contains a Lease
(c) SIC-15 Operating Leases—Incentives
(d) SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions
Involving the Legal Form of a Lease
The new standard will be effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early application is
permitted, provided the new revenue standard, AASB 15
Revenue from Contracts with Customers, has been applied,
or is applied at the same date as AASB 16.

The full impact on the
Group has not yet been

leases.

AASB 2014-10 amends AASB 10 C_onsolidated Financial_

between the requirements in AASB 10 and those in AASB
128 (August 2011), in dealing with the sale or contribution
of assets between an investor and its associate or joint
venture. The amendments require:
A full gain or loss to be recognised when a transaction
involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or
not)
(a)
A partial gain or loss to be recognised when a
transaction involves assets that do not constitute a
business, even if these assets are housed in a

Annual Report – 30 June 2017

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2017

  • (c) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of CI Resources Limited (“company” or “parent entity”) as at 30 June 2017 and the results of its subsidiaries for the financial year then ended.

CI Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or Consolidated Entity. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has exposed, or has rights to variable return from its involvement in the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those return through its control.

Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has:

  • Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)

  • Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee

  • The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

  • The contractual arrangement(s) with the other vote holders of the investee

  • Rights arising from other contractual arrangements

  • o The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of OCI are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity, while any resultant gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognised at fair value.

Investments in subsidiaries held by CI Resources Limited are accounted for at cost in the separate financial statements of the parent entity less any impairment charges. Dividends received from subsidiaries are recorded as a component of other revenues in the separate income statement of the parent entity, and do not impact the recorded cost of the investment. Upon receipt of dividend payments from subsidiaries, the parent will assess whether any indicators of impairment of the carrying value of the investment in the subsidiary exist. Where such indicators exist, to the extent that the carrying value of the investment exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised.

Annual Report – 30 June 2017

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2017

(d) Income tax

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any nonassessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. 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 is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

  • (e) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of mining stocks includes direct materials, direct labour, transportation costs and variable and fixed overhead costs relating to mining activities. Overheads are applied on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(f) Property, plant and equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

Property

Freehold land and buildings are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation on buildings.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by the directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets (refer to note 2(ah) for accounting policy on recoverable amount).

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the economic entity includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

40

Annual Report – 30 June 2017

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2017

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 income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land are depreciated on a straight line or diminishing balance basis over their useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciation assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate
Leasehold and strata title properties Shorter of the lease
and 2%
Plant and equipment under lease:
- the shorter of the lease term and life span 20 – 30%
Plant and equipment 5 – 40%
Mine properties Life of mine

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement.

(g) Mining tenements and exploration expenditure

Costs incurred during exploration and evaluation activities related to an area of interest are accumulated at cost.

Such costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area of interest, or alternatively its sale, or where activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active operations are continuing.

Accumulated costs in relation to abandoned areas of interest are written off in full in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

  • (h) Mine properties

Costs incurred prior to the startup of operations or mining assets acquired are accumulated at cost. Such costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful exploitation of the known reserves.

Impairment

The carrying amount of mine properties is reviewed annually by the directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of these assets (refer to note 2(ah) for accounting policy on recoverable amount).

41

Annual Report – 30 June 2017

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2017

(i) Decommissioning

Estimated decommissioning expenditure is recognised as a provision when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, the amounts are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

The amortisation or ‘unwinding’ of the discount applied in establishing the net present value of provision is charged to the income statement in each accounting period, and is disclosed as a financing costs.

Other changes in the measurement of an existing decommissioning obligation that result from changes in the estimated timing or amount of future costs, or a change in the discount rate, are recognised as an adjustment to the decommissioning asset.

(j) 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 are transferred to entities in the economic entity 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 their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the economic entity will obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease.

Lease payments of 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 straightline basis over the life of the lease term.

(k) Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are used by the Group to provide an economic hedge of exposures to exchange rates. The consolidated entity does not apply hedge accounting and accordingly all fair value movements on derivative financial instruments are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. Derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

The fair values of forward currency contracts are calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles.

42

Annual Report – 30 June 2017

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2017

  • (l) Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill

At each reporting date, the company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired.

Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Company makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

  • (m) Intangibles

Goodwill

Goodwill is initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business or for an ownership interest in a controlled entity exceeds the fair value attributed to the identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition.

Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed.

Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Research and Development

Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies indicate that the project will deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably.

  • (n) Foreign currency transactions and balances

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the group’s entities is determined by reference to the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the 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. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement.

43

Annual Report – 30 June 2017

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2017

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the income statement.

Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

  • Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date.

  • Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the balance sheet. These differences are recognised in the income statement in the period in which the operation is disposed.

(o) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes 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.

(p) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30 to 90 day terms, are carried at nominal amounts due less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written-off when identified.

Receivables from related parties are recognised and carried at the nominal amount due. An estimate for doubtful debts is considered based on the financial position of the related party.

(q) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

(r) Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start up operations which are yet to earn revenues. Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the board of directors.

Operating segments have been identified based on the information provided to the chief operating decision makers — being the executive management team.

The group aggregates two or more operating segments when they have similar economic characteristics, and

the segments are similar in each of the following respects:

  • Nature of the products and services

44

Annual Report – 30 June 2017

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2017

  • Nature of the production processes

  • Type or class of customer for the products and services

  • Methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and if applicable

  • Nature of the regulatory environment

Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria as prescribed by AASB 8 are reported separately.

However, an operating segment that does not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements.

Information about other business activities and operating segments that are below the quantitative criteria are combined and disclosed in a separate category for unallocated segments.

(s) Business Combination

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred, and included in administrative expenses.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised in accordance with AASB 139 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost (being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests and any previous interest held over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed). If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognised in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount

45

Annual Report – 30 June 2017

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2017

of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

(t) Revenue

Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised when there has been a passing of the significant risks and rewards of ownership, which means the following:

  • The product is in a form suitable for delivery and no further processing is required by or on behalf of the consolidated entity;

  • The quantity and quality of the product can be determined with reasonable accuracy;

  • The product has been despatched to the customer and is no longer under the physical control of the consolidated entity;

  • The selling price can be measured reliably;

  • It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the consolidated entity; and

  • The costs incurred, or expected to be incurred, in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Interest

Revenue is recognised as the Interest accrues using the effective interest rate method (which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset).

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.

Dividends

Revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.

(u) Government grants

Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with.

When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate.

When the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited to a deferred income account and is released to the income statement over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual installments.

(v) Employee benefits

Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees up until balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

46

Annual Report – 30 June 2017

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2017

(w) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the group 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.

(x) 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 or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in income during the period in which they are incurred.

(y) Bearer plants & Plantation development costs

Bearer plants are measured at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment. Prior to maturity, the costs of bearer plants includes the cost of direct materials, direct labour and other costs directly attributable to the bearer plants reaching maturity. Post maturity, maintenance costs on bearer plants are expensed as incurred.

Plantation costs

Costs incurred on land clearing are capitalised as plantation development costs and is amoritsed over the economic useful life of the asset (25 years). Costs on the concession lease with a term of 60 years are capitalised and amortised over the remaining term of lease.

Depreciation

Mature bearer plants are subject to depreciation on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The useful life of a bearer plant is estimated at 25 years.

The carrying amount of bearer plants is reviewed annually by the Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets.

(z) Biological assets

Biological assets consist of agricultural produce growing on bearer plants at reporting date.

Biological assets are measured at their fair value less estimated point of sale costs at the point of harvest. The movement in fair value less estimated point of sale costs of biological assets are included in the statement of comprehensive income in the year they arise.

(aa) Term deposit

Term deposits which have a maturity of less than twelve months are shown in current assets. Term deposits which are held to fund employee benefits stated and demolition costs are shown in non current assets.

(ab) Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office is included with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

47

Annual Report – 30 June 2017

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2017

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the Australian Taxation Office, are presented as operating cash flow.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australia Taxation Office.

(ac) Financial instruments

Recognition

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value, which includes transaction costs, when the contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the consolidated entity provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the statement of financial position date which are classified as non-current assets and carried at amortised cost. Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the statement of financial position.

Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal repayments and amortisation.

Impairment

The Consolidated Entity assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

(ad) Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.

The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries. The Group’s investments in its associate and joint venture are accounted for using the equity method.

Under the equity method, the investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate or joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the associate or joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment separately.

The statement of profit or loss reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of the associate or joint venture. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the Group’s OCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate or joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate or joint venture.

The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of an associate and a joint venture is shown on the face of the statement of profit or loss outside operating profit and represents profit or loss after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the associate or joint venture.

48

Annual Report – 30 June 2017

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2017

After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an impairment loss on its investment in its associate or joint venture. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate or joint venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture and its carrying value, and then recognises the loss as ‘Share of profit of an associate and a joint venture’ in the statement of profit or loss.

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the Group measures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.

(ae) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

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

(af) Comparative figures

Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial year.

(ag) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the consolidated entity, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(ah) Impairment of assets

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows (cash generating units).

3. Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

  • (a) In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Assessment of mine life on Christmas Island

The Financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the resource supports continued operations for at least 5 years on the current market parameters and expectations.

The Group’s estimation of its mineral resources was prepared by or under the supervision of Competent Persons as defined in the Australian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2004 (the ‘JORC code’).

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral resources and assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available.

Changes in the forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates or production costs may change the economic status of resources and may, ultimately, result in the resources being restated. Such changes in resources could impact on depreciation and amortisation rates, asset carrying values and provisions for decommissioning.

  • (b) The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment if there is any indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where a review for impairment is conducted, the recoverable amount is assessed by reference to the higher of ‘value in use’ (being the net present value of expected future cash flows of the relevant cash generating unit) and ‘fair value less costs to sell’.

In determining value in use, future cash flows are based on:

  • Estimates of the quantities of ore reserves and mineral resources;

  • Future production levels;

  • Future commodity prices and foreign exchange rates; and

  • Future cash costs of production and capital expenditure.

Variations to the expected future cash flows, and the timing thereof, could result in significant changes to any impairment losses recognised, if any, which could in turn impact future financial results.

Provisions for decommissioning costs

Decommissioning costs are a normal consequence of mining and the majority of this expenditure is incurred at the end of a mine’s life. In determining an appropriate level of provision consideration is given to the expected future costs to be incurred, the timing of these expected future costs (largely dependent on the life of the mine), the appropriateness of the discount rate and the estimated future level of inflation.

The ultimate cost of decommissioning is uncertain and costs can vary in response to many factors including changes to the relevant legal requirements or the emergence of new decommissioning techniques. The expected timing of expenditure can also change, for example in response to changes in reserves or to production rates.

Changes to any of the estimates could result in significant changes to the level of provisioning required, which would in turn impact future financial results.

Fair value of biological assets

The fair value of biological assets, being the agricultural produce growing on bearer plants at reporting date are measured at their fair value less estimated point of sale costs at the point of harvest. In determining the fair value at reporting date a number of judgements are used in estimating the inputs to the fair value less estimated point of sales costs. Refer note 14 for significant assumptions.

Deferred Tax Asset

The deferred tax asset will only be obtained if:

  • (a) future assessable income is derived of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised;

  • (b) the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation continue to be complied with; and (c) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the consolidation entity in realising the benefit.

The deferred tax assets are considered to be probable of being fully recovered, as it is believed that the entity will have future taxable income to fully utilise the tax benefit. Refer note 5.

These contracts are fair valued by comparing the contracted rate to the market rates for contracts with the same length of maturity. All movements in fair value are recognised in profit or loss in the period they occur. The net fair value gain on foreign currency derivatives during the year were $0.343 million for the Group (2016: loss of $1.010 million). There were no outstanding forward exchange contracts as at 30 June 2016.

The group uses various methods in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument. The methods comprise:

Level 1: the fair value is calculated using quoted price in active markets;

Level 2: the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly (as price) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

  • Level 3 : the fair value is estimated using inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Goodwill acquired through business combination has been allocated to the Palm Oil Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”), which is also a reporting and operating segment for impairment testing. The net carrying amount of Goodwill at 30 June 2017 was $7,158,000 (2016: $7,158,000) which includes an accumulated impairment charge of nil during the year (2016: nil).

The recoverable amount of the Farming CGU has been determined using a value in use calculation using cash flow projections. The post-tax discount rates applied to cash flow projections is 9.5% (2016: 9.5%) and the cash flows are based on the financial budget approved by management for the upcoming year and applying an inflation rate of 2.7% p.a (2016: 2.7%) for the following 4 years and a terminal value.

With regard to the assessments of the value in use of the Farming CGU, management believe that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the unit to materially exceed its recoverable amount.

14. Biological Assets

The Group grows oil palm plants to produce palm oil. The plantation is located in Malaysia. The Group is exposed to risks in respect of agricultural activity. During the year a total of 25,590 metric tonnes of fruit was produced.

The primary risk associated with this activity occurs due to the length of time between expending cash on planting and trees reaching production so that cash can be received from the sale of palm oil to third parties. The Group's strategy to manage this risk is to stage the replanting (20-30 year replanting cycle) to reduce the effect on the cash flow.

Biological assets consist of agricultural produce growing on bearer plants at reporting date.

The fair value of biological assets, being the agricultural produce growing on bearer plants at reporting date are measured at their fair value less estimated point of sale costs at the point of harvest. In determining the fair value at reporting date the following judgements were applied:

2017 2016
CPO Price (RM per tonne) 2,602 2,340
PK Price (RM per tonne) 2,014 2,421

An estimation of the quantum of fruit on trees and oil content was based on actual harvests post reporting date.

With regard to the estimation of the fair value of the biological asset, it has been classified as a level 3 in the fair value hierarchy being based on inputs that are not based on observable data. Management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause a material change in the fair value of the biological asset.

(a) Provision for redundancy

The amounts employees are entitled to receive if made redundant in accordance with their employment agreements are fully provided. The redundancy provision was decreased by a net amount of $1,428,000 during the year ended 30 June 2017 (2016: $606,000).

(b) Provision for decommissioning

Based on the Mining Lease Agreement between the Commonwealth Government and Phosphate Resources Limited a provision for decommissioning has been recognised for costs associated with:

  • Demolition of all improvements specified for the removal of all debris resulting from demolition, removal of plant and equipment and leaving the leased land in a safe, clean and tidy condition at the expiry of the lease.

Estimates of the decommissioning obligations are based on anticipated technology and legal requirements and future costs, which have been discounted to their present value. In determining the decommissioning provision, the entity has assumed no significant changes will occur in the relevant Federal and State legislation in relation to demolition of such mines in the future.

28. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, finance leases, cash and short-term deposits, long-term deposits, interest bearing loans and borrowings, and foreign exchange derivatives.

Market, liquidity and credit risk (including foreign exchange, commodity price and interest rate risk) arise in the normal course of the Group’s business.

The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks, including interest rate, currency and commodity risk in accordance with the Group's risk management procedures. The overall objective of these procedures is to:

  • Ensure that net cash flows are sufficient to meet all financial commitments as and when they fall due.

  • Support the delivery of the Group's financial targets whilst protecting future financial security.

  • Minimise the potential adverse effects resulting from volatility on financial markets.

The Group continually monitors its forecast financial position against these criteria.

It is, and has been throughout the period under review, Group policy that no speculative trading in financial instruments be undertaken

(i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk on cash and short term deposits is not considered to be a material risk due to the short term nature of these financial instruments.

The interest rates for term deposits and borrowings are fixed and there is no material risk for interest bearing assets or liabilities

(ii) Liquidity Risk

The Group’s liquidity position is managed to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet its financial commitments in a timely and cost effective manner.

Management monitors the Group’s liquidity reserve on the basis of expected cash flow. The table below reflects a balanced view of cash inflows and outflows and shows the implied risk based on those values. Trade payables and other financial liabilities originate from the financing of assets used in the Group’s ongoing operations. These assets are considered in the Group's overall liquidity risk.

Management continually reviews the Group liquidity position including cash flow forecasts to determine the forecast liquidity position and maintain appropriate liquidity levels.

(iii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a contracting entity will not complete its obligation under a financial instrument that will result in a financial loss to the Group. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the consolidated entity to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits and receivables. The Group places its cash deposits and derivatives with high creditquality financial institutions. Receivables balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the results that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.

(iv) Derivative instruments and foreign currency risk

The Group’s future revenues are exposed to movements in foreign exchange rates, particularly the US dollar/Australian dollar rate. The Group may from time to time enter into foreign exchange derivative instruments to manage this exposure.

The Group has, as outlined in note 10, forward currency contracts designated as held for trading that are subject to fair value movements through profit or loss as foreign exchange rates move.

66

Annual Report – 30 June 2017

CI RESOURCES LIMITED

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2017

At 30 June 2017, had the Australian Dollar moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit and equity would have been affected as follows:

Judgments of reasonably possible movements: Post tax profit and equity
Higher/(Lower)
2017 2016
$’000s $’000s
Consolidated
AUD/USD + 10% (860) -
AUD/USD - 10% 1,051 -

Management believes the balance date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in the financial instruments.

  • Significant assumptions used in the foreign currency exposure sensitivity analysis include:

  • Reasonably possible movements in foreign exchange rates were determined based on a review of the last two years historical movements.

  • The net exposure at balance date is representative of what the Group was and is expecting to be exposed to in the next twelve months from balance date.

(v) Fair values

The Directors have performed a review of the financial assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2017 and have concluded that the fair value of those assets and liabilities are not materially different to book values. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments were:

  • Cash - The carrying amount is fair value due to the liquid nature of these assets.

  • Receivables/payables - due to the short term nature of these financial rights and obligations, and/or market interest received/paid, their carrying values are estimated to represent their fair values.

  • Derivatives - The fair values of forward currency contracts are calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles.

  • Finance lease liability – The fair value is the present value of minimum lease payments.

  • Bank loan – All the bank loans of the Group are interest bearing with floating interest rates which move in accordance with the market interest rates. Therefore the fair value of the bank loans approximates their carrying value.

  • Term deposits – The carrying values of term deposits represent the fair values.

Capital risk management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide shareholders and stakeholders in the future and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Management are constantly adjusting the capital structure as suitable. As the market is constantly changing, management may change the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.

Management have no current plans to issue further shares on the market.

Independent auditor's report to the members of CI Resources Limited

Report on the audit of the financial report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of CI Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2017 and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Repor t section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial report.

Impairment assessment – goodwill & farming CGU non-current assets

Why significant

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

At 30 June 2017, the Group held net assets of $48.031 million, inclusive of goodwill of $7.158 million recorded on the consolidated statement of financial position in relation to the Farming CGU.

The matter was considered significant to our audit given that the Farming CGU is a material CGU to the Group as disclosed in in Note 30: Segment Reporting.

As outlined in Note 13 Goodwill , the recoverable amount of the Farming CGU has been determined using a value in use (VIU) calculation using cash flow projections, which requires the Group to exercise judgment in determining the key assumptions. These assumptions are based on internal factors (such as the budget and forecast) and external market data (including commodity price and inflation rates).

As described in Note 13, the Group concluded that no impairment existed at 30 June 2017 because the recoverable value of the CGU exceeded the carrying amount.

Our procedures to address the key audit matter included evaluating and assessing the assumptions and methodologies used by the Group in calculation of the recoverable amount of the Farming CGU using the VIU model.

We involved our valuation specialists to evaluate the key assumptions and methodologies used by the Group.

We compared the Group’s assumptions to our own assessments, and externally derived data, for key inputs such as projected growth, commodity price, cost inflation and discount rates. We considered the historical reliability of the Group’s cash flow forecasting process.

We assessed the Group’s sensitivities, which included analysis of their break-even assumptions.

We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures concerning goodwill as described in Note 13 to the Group financial report.

Amendments to AASB 141 Agriculture

Why significant

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

As outlined in note 2, effective from 1 July 2016 the Group was required to adopt AASB 2014-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Agriculture: Bearer Plants, and the consequential amendments to AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment and AASB 141 Agriculture.

This matter is considered significant to our audit given that the application of the amendments results in a change in accounting policy that impacts the classification and valuation of assets (bearer plants and their produce) that are material to the Group and required a restatement of comparative financial information. The amendments require that bearer plants be accounted for as property, plant & equipment at cost in accordance with AASB 116 and their produce be accounted for as a biological asset measured at fair value in accordance with AASB 141.

The net impact of the restatement on the prior year comparative figures was a $0.201m reduction in net profit after tax.

Our procedures to address the key audit matter included evaluating and assessing:

  • the application of the amendments to AASB 141 Agriculture, including evaluating the Group’s determination of the deemed cost of bearer plants and fair value of produce at 1 July 2015, being the opening date of the comparative period disclosed in the financial report.

  • the restatement of comparative financial information.

  • the assumptions and methodologies used by the Group in the calculation of the fair value of produce at reporting date.

We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures relating to the change in accounting policy in Note 2(b)(i) and the disclosures in Note 14 Biological Assets .

The Group has disclosed the impact of the amendments in Note 2(b)(i), including outlining the new accounting policy in relation to bearer plants and the impact on the comparative financial information and included current year disclosures relating to bearer plants and produce in Note 14 Biological Assets .

Recoverability of debtors

Why significant

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

At outlined in Note 8, at 30 June 2017, the Group had trade debtors totaling $42.622 million, including $9.5 million that were past due, but not considered impaired.

The matter is considered significant given that there is a material amount of debtors that are past due, but not considered impaired. This assessment requires a degree of judgement by management in assessing the recoverability of past due debtors.

In performing our procedures to address the key audit matter, we:

  • performed procedures on the existence of debtors, including agreeing a sample of outstanding amounts at balance date to delivery documents.

  • assessed the Group’s evaluation of recoverability of debtors that were past due but not impaired, including consideration of the contractual agreements, past payment practices of those debtors and consideration of the creditworthiness of counterparties and amounts received from these debtors post balance date.

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Group’s internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
