Chairman's Report

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to provide this Annual Report of your Company’s performance in FY2019. This year, we have focused and strengthened Prospect Resources, enhanced our capabilities and knowledge, developed a management team with a culture to achieve success and further progressed the world class Arcadia Lithium Project.

Strategy and Progress

At Prospect Resources our purpose is to lead Africa in the battery mineral revolution. We are courageous, driven and ethical in our approach as we identify, prove, develop and operate in Africa to deliver sustainable long term value for our stakeholders. 2019 has been a year where we have continued to focus on securing long term success and sustainability of our business.

In Prospect Resources life as a Company, we have rapidly transitioned from exploration, discovery, completion of feasibility studies and now into financing & development of the Arcadia Lithium Project. It has been less than 3 years from the first drill hole to completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study that validates Arcadia as a world class and globally unique asset, where this rapid progressing of the Company has occurred at a faster rate than our peers.

The great work of the past and the continued focus on Arcadia place the Company in the strongest possible position to attract the right financial partners to join us on this exciting journey as we become Africa’s leading lithium producer.

It is a core belief of Prospect’s Board of Directors that the intrinsic value of a company lies with its people, and ultimately, investors and financiers back people to develop projects. We have built a team of technically capable and dynamic individuals, with a track record of success who are focused on the successful development of Arcadia and delivering value to shareholders. Prospect has not solely focused on developing a team of technically sound and dynamic individuals’, but also sought to be a business that supports diversity in its workforce.

==> picture [149 x 100] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [153 x 106] intentionally omitted <==

Prospect is now in the stages of transitioning into development from exploration. With that has come the need to build out our capabilities to ensure a successful development of Arcadia that is effective, safe and to budget. As the Company passes through funding and into development & production, Prospect is in a strong position to capitalise on the rise of lithium.

In the Company’s plans to develop the world leading Arcadia Lithium Project, we are placing immense value on sustainability. Sustainability means putting health and safety first, being environmentally sustainable and supporting our communities. The wellbeing of our people, the community and environment is considered foremost in everything we do, and we are invested into securing the social license to operate. To enable this, we will build on the quality of our relationships, our operational and environmental performance, our social impacts and the lasting benefits and legacy we create.

Lithium, a long term strategy

In line with our long-term strategy, we see lithium as a robust and sustainable thematic that has and will continue to fundamentally revolutionise the way we live. Lithium’s ability to store, use and transfer energy has already touched the globe through our use of smart phones for global communication, electric grid stability and storage to power our homes, electric vehicles to drive us, induction cooktops that provides heat for us to cook our food and many more uses.

In all markets experiencing rapid growth in demand and long lead times of supply, there are periods of volatility of prices. FY2019 is an example of this, with double digit growth in demand and the first wave of lithium hard rock producers coming online in rapid response. Over the past year the volatility in prices have given rise to the school of thought of oversupply and further compression of prices. In cycles whether they be economic, commodity or other, it is the emotions at the extreme highs and lows that can mask the opportunity. Prospect has a long-term view of the lithium market and see that within the two years, the improvement in battery technology and the cost of electric vehicles reaching parity with internal combustion engine vehicles, will accelerate this growth as they will be the catalyst for large scale adoption.

----- End of picture text -----

Although our strategy is exposed to the rapid growth of the electric vehicle revolution, it is securely underpinned by the mature and dependable glass & ceramics market, which is the second largest market for lithium. Our globally unique position within the lithium market allows us to divert our products to multiple markets and therefore in turn, manage our market and customer risks. Although the focus globally is on the electric vehicle demand to come, the glass & ceramics market offers consistent demand, spread of geo-political risk as there is large demand from Europe and the potential for premium prices for Prospect Resources products. This niche is something we are exploring further and will be a key consideration in our strategy for future projects and acquisitions.

Zimbabwe

In line with our strategic focus in lithium, our geographic focus in Zimbabwe is also key to our long-term success. Throughout 2019, Zimbabwe has undergone further development following the general election in 2018. President Mnangagwa has placed investor attraction as the key marketing focus on Zimbabwe, with its mantra “Zimbabwe is open for business”.

Although we do not participate in or hold a political agenda, we are focused on working with government to deliver positive outcomes for Prospect Resources and all of our stakeholders. 2019 has been a transitional year with the government in February 2019 moving away from a currency that was pegged to the USD, to now a floating currency. This has lead to short term volatility and disruption but is a crucial step in Zimbabwe developing as a nation that will yield long term value and improved fiscal stability.

Prospect is excited to be a part of the Zimbabwe story and will play a critical part in the country’s development over the coming decades.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank you for your valuable contribution and continued support. While we remain vigilant about the short term market outlook, our long term view remains positive and we are well placed to meet demand for the lithium the world needs well into the future. I am confident that Prospect Resources, led by Sam Hosack and his management team, has the right assets and capability, and your Company is well placed to deliver shareholder value and returns.

Thank you for your continued support of Prospect Resources.

Managing Director's Report

Dear Shareholders,

What a year it has been for Prospect Resources. In reflecting on the past year, I am amazed and proud with the achievements of the team. Since my appointment as Managing Director in July 2018, the Company has taken the world class Arcadia Lithium Project (“Arcadia” or “the Project”) through a number of de-risking steps to successfully demonstrate its strong economics and global significance as a key player in the lithium market. In advancing Arcadia, adding a team of talented professionals with regional expertise, securing a tier one offtake partner and devising a clear strategy forward, we have a formula for success and a clear opportunity for shareholders.

In my Managing Director’s statement from August 2018, I stated that “My mandate is to take the Company from being an exciting exploration focused company, through development, to being a successful mining company”. I stand by this statement and have made it central in everything that we do. The first step in this transition was the development and completion of Arcadia’s Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”). The study took the knowledge collected from our Preliminary Feasibility Study, updated market and sales information and rigour to deliver bankability allowing for the swift transition into development.

The outcomes of the 2.4Mtpa DFS highlight Arcadia as a robust project and as a critical asset in the long-term supply of lithium. Following the completion of the DFS, we moved onto the optimisation and value engineering of Arcadia to maximise the potential returns for financiers and shareholders. These initiatives positioned Arcadia in the lowest quartile operating cost, lowest quartile capital intensity, upper quartile for capital returns based on Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) and to generate strong returns for shareholders throughout the market cycle.

This is a huge achievement for management and an exciting realisation of Arcadia’s potential value for shareholders.

7.

Annual Report 2019

Leading the way in the battery revolution

Along with validating Arcadia’s potential, we drove hard to secure Special Economic Zone (“SEZ”) status and the raft of benefits that it provisions. In March 2019, we received this SEZ status, which enables Prospect to transact, operate and trade in foreign currency and to retain those funds offshore. This is of huge advantage as it will allow us to operate competitively, attract global talent, demonstrate to our lenders our ability to repay their loans in hard currency and deal with global customers.

In pursuit of greater value from Arcadia, Prospect successfully secured an additional 17% interest in the Project taking our ownership to 87%. The purchase of project equity was via a combination of cash & script that strengthens Prospect’s position in Arcadia and will deliver value to shareholders. While this transaction has not yet closed there are no expected impediments.

As we seek to rapidly move into development it was only natural to commence construction of primary elements such as the contractors camp and on-site shared facilities. The international perception is that operating in Zimbabwe is challenging, while this may be true for domestic based business the reality is export generators such as Prospect Resources that operate within a SEZ will provide the company with significant opportunity. We view the ability to rapidly progress through the development cycle as a key deliverable to delivering returns to all stakeholders. With this in mind, we are targeting commissioning within 18 months post financial close of the financing agreements.

During the year we observed changes in the lithium market, as the supply chain underwent development and new supply coming online. There has been difficulties in the market, particularly with battery producers being unable to keep up with the automakers’ battery requirements, yet there is a market perception that lithium is in oversupply, which highlights the opaqueness of the market.

We see the battery market undergoing reorganisation with upstream and downstream players adapting to prevailing market conditions, with the forecasted near term demand expected to surpass existing production capacity. This coupled with the inability of the potential projects to rapidly capitalise on the change in dynamics, suggests a rapidly changing market environment and growing deficit. Notwithstanding this, the quality and scale of Arcadia continues to attract high quality offtake partners in addition to our cornerstone partner Sinomine Resources.

Although demand is undergoing double digit growth, the Electric Vehicle (“EV”) revolution is still in its infancy. Mass adoption generally occurs through one of two mechanism: policy and/or price. Our model, and that of market experts, sees current global policy structurally shift in the automotive industry through the imposition of charges and fines for not adhering to CO[2] emission targets. In line with automakers rushing to meet their emissions targets, there have been technological advancements in battery technology that by 2022 are expected to make EV’s cost parity with Internal Combustion Engines. We see the reducing upfront cost as a catalyst for mass adoption and an acceleration of EV uptake, leading to acceleration of demand for battery minerals.

Putting the demand for lithium from the battery market to one side, Arcadia’s ability to sell directly into the premium glass & ceramics markets highlights that Prospect is not “just another player” but rather “the key player”. From discussions with potential customers and the validation by leading market consultant Benchmark Minerals, Arcadia’s ultra-low iron petalite is a true game changer and gives Prospect a competitive advantage over its peers (both hard rock and brines). Prospect will be the largest ultra low iron petalite and low iron petalite producer enabling us to capitalise on the 17% of global lithium consumption into this supply-constrained technical market.

Lithium industry brine and hard rock total cost curve - 2025[1]

==> picture [472 x 210] intentionally omitted <==

1 Notes on cost curves:

  • Total cost includes capital repayment and royalty costs

  • Hard rock includes pegmatite, petalite, lepidolite, jadarite and clay resources

  • For operations producing spodumene/petalite, freight costs to processing point are included, as is a conversion margin to lithium carbonate

  • Prospect Resources modelled using Feasibility Study costs of $278/tonne with shipping and conversion charges added

During the past 12 months Prospect has pursued

an extensive fund-raising exercise and engaged in a multitude of discussions with potential funders of the Project. Whilst this process has taken longer than initially envisaged, we are delighted to report that our efforts have yielded a promising shortlist of reputable Development Finance Institutions (“DFI”) that have rigorously evaluated Arcadia and expressed their keen interest to participate in the funding of the Project Costs associated with the development of Arcadia. We have engaged with these DFIs not just as sources of funding, but with a view of securing credible long-term strategic partners and supporters of our corporate mission underpinned by growth and development.

Accordingly the Company has progressed these discussions to a point where we believe that a syndicate of these DFIs will commit to providing sufficient funds via a combination of senior debt facilities and equity subscriptions, and the management team continues to work assiduously to conclude these negotiations and enter into binding agreements, which will soon allow Prospect to announce further relevant details to the market.

This will be the 1st major mining project to come onstream in the post Mugabe Zimbabwe, the significance of this is well recognised by the Government of Zimbabwe. As such we greatly appreciate and applaud the proactive stance taken by the Minister of Mines The Honourable Winston Chitando, officials within his ministry and various branches of Government that we work closely with to secure the approvals and legislative support required to give our potential development partners the comfort to believe in Prospect Resources and Zimbabwe .

Our success is ultimately measured by achieving all of our objectives and we are confident in our ability to achieve this outcome.

Sam Hosack

Managing Director

As Managing Director, I am confident that the Prospect team has the determination, experience and energy to meet my initial goal. This is in delivering Arcadia as a derisked project, getting the Project fully-funded, developed and into production and in doing so, fulfilling our commitment to maximising the returns to all stakeholders. This commitment extends to the immediate community in which we operate, our supportive and patient shareholders, our potential financiers, our business partners and the Zimbabwean population at large as host country to this lucrative project.

Arcadia Lithium Project

Location

The Arcadia Lithium Project is located approximately 35 km east of Harare, Zimbabwe providing convenient access to skilled and semi-skilled labour. A Mining Lease has been granted over an area of more than 10 km2 and Environmental Approvals are in place. The Project is located close to major highways and railheads, with the Beira Port being less than 580 km away by rail/road transport. Grid power access via switchyard is within 4 km of the Project with 20 MVA capacity. There is surplus groundwater available.

==> picture [223 x 143] intentionally omitted <==

Geology

The Arcadia Lithium deposit is hosted within a series of 14 stacked, sub parallel petalite-spodumene bearing pegmatites that intrude the local Archaean age Harare Greenstone Belt. Dimensions of the pegmatites defined by drilling to date are 4.5 km along strike (SW-NE), with an average thickness of 15 m and dipping 15 degrees to the NW. The Main Pegmatite is exposed in the historical pit, and the deposit is open along strike to the southwest. The deposit is cut by the NNE-SSW trending Mashonganyika Fault zone, as well as a regional SW-NE trending dolerite dyke that appears to truncate the pegmatite to the NW.

A total of 194 RC and 111 diamond drill holes have been drilled on the project (26,682m).

JORC Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Estimates

The Ore Reserve hosts ~ 868,000 t contained lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) and supports a 12 year mine life.

Special Economy Zone

The Group has received Special Economic Zone (“SEZ”) status. SEZ status at Arcadia provides Prospect with an extensive list of benefits that includes; tax relief and exemptions and the ability to hold and operate foreign currency accounts, as well as exemptions and reductions of costs & trade barriers associated with the import of raw materials and capital goods through to the exportation of concentrates. The incentives and benefits to be received from the SEZ status, reinforces the financial outcomes of the Project outlined in the DFS.

Arcadia Pilot Plant

The Group produced >99.5% lithium carbonate during the year in its Kwekwe laboratory using Arcadia petalite. The results from the laboratory scale lithium carbonate have been fed through to the pilot plant design. The pilot plant provides the Group and potential offtakers valuable knowledge on how to optimise the lithium carbonate process from the Arcadia petalite concentrates.

The establishment of a lithium chemical plant at Arcadia would make the Arcadia Project one of the few vertically integrated lithium projects in the world and certainly a first for Africa. Arcadia has the added benefit of its proximal location to key infrastructure such as electricity, by-product consumers and transport resources, as well as regional access to major consumables such as coal and sulphuric acid that are required for the conversion process.

Other Projects

Penhalonga – Gold

Zimbawe

The Penhalonga Gold Project consists of a number of shear and vein hosted gold deposits along the southern side of the Penhalonga Valley covering an area of approximately 1.8km[2] , including the historic Battersea Gold Mine and the dormant Penhalonga Gold Mine, 5km north of Mutare. It is situated in the Mutare Greenstone Belt which extends eastward into Mozambique. In terms of gold production per unit area, the Mutare Greenstone Belt at 122kg Au/km[2] is one of the richest belts within Zimbabwe. Historical production from the Penhalonga valley between 1897 and 1937 amounted to: Gold 1.3m oz, Silver 1.6m oz, Lead 7,258 tonnes and Copper 5.2 tonnes. Prospect also owns a number of lead tenements within the Mutare Greenstone Belt.

Gwanda East - Gold

Zimbawe

The Group continues to evaluate the gold potential of the greater Farvic gold camp through accessing and developing existing historical infrastructure, surface and underground diamond drilling as well as focused surface geochemical surveys.

Democratic Republic of Congo

Following on decision to scale back exploration activities, and to focus on and further advance the Arcadia Lithium Project, Prospect Resources sold its exploration business in the Democratic Republic of Congo to New Energy Metals Limited.

Chishanya – Phosphate

Zimbawe

The Chishanya Phosphate Project is one of 5 known phosphate bearing carbonatites in Zimbabwe. The deposit has been explored by a number of companies since the 1950s including Anglo American and Rhodesia Chrome Mines Ltd. The deposit is a series of un-exploited phosphate bearing, apatite-magnetite lenses in carbonatite located near Birchenough Bridge, Manicaland. The potential for Rare Earth Elements (REEs) has also never previously been assessed.

Directors' Report

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

The Remuneration Report is set out under the following main headings:

  • 1). Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration;

  • 2). Details of remuneration;

  • 3). Service agreements; and

  • 4). Share-based compensation.

The information provided in this Remuneration Report has been audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director and executive of Prospect Resources Limited. The information provided in the remuneration report includes remuneration disclosures that are audited as required by the Corporations Act 2001 and its regulations.

For the purposes of this report, Key Management Personnel of the Group are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent company.

For the purposes of this report, the term ‘executive’ includes those key management personnel who are not directors of the parent company.

1) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

It is the Group’s objective to provide maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executives by remunerating directors and executives fairly and appropriately with reference to relevant employment market conditions. To assist in achieving the objective, the Board links the nature and amount of executive director’s emoluments to the Group’s financial and operational performance. The intended outcomes of this remuneration structure are:

  • Retention and motivation of directors

  • Performance rewards to allow directors to share the rewards of the success of the Group.

The maximum remuneration of non-executive directors is the subject of shareholder resolution in accordance with the Group’s Constitution, and the Corporations Act 2001 as applicable and is set at $500,000. The appointment of non-executive director remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regards to the inputs and value to the Group of the respective contributions by each non-executive director.

The Board may award additional remuneration to nonexecutive directors called upon to perform extra services or make special exertions on behalf of the Group. There is no scheme to provide retirement benefits, other than statutory superannuation, to non-executive directors. All equity based remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.

Performance Based Remuneration

The Board may pay bonuses to directors and executives at its discretion.

The issue of options to directors and executives is to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder returns. The intention of this program is to align the objectives of directors/executives with that of the business and shareholders. In addition, all directors and executives are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.

Group Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Key Management Personnel Remuneration

The Group is currently undertaking new acquisitions, exploration and development activities, and does not expect to be undertaking profitable operations (other than by way of material asset sales, none of which is currently planned) until sometime after the successful commercialisation, production and sales of commodities from one or more of its projects. Accordingly, the Board does not consider earnings during the current and previous four financial years when determining, and in relation to, the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP.

The remuneration policy has been tailored to maximise the commonality of goals between shareholders, directors and executives. The method applied in achieving this aim to date being the issue of options to directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Group believes this policy will be the most effective in increasing shareholder wealth.

The remuneration of an executive director will be decided by the Board. In determining competitive remuneration rates the Board reviews local and international trends among comparative companies and the industry generally. It also examines terms and conditions for any options issued.

During the year, external consultants were not used for determining remuneration.

Annual Report 2019

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 30 June 2019

Note 1: Corporate Information

The financial report of Prospect Resources Limited (“the Company”) for the year ended 30 June 2019 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on XX September 2019.

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

The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together the “Consolidated Entity” or “Group”). For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements the Company is a for-profit entity.

The principal activity of the Group is exploration, evaluation and development of mineral resources.

Note 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 years presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of preparation

This general purpose Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with other requirements of law, unless stated otherwise.

Accounting Standards include Australian Standards, compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of the Company and Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).

It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the public announcements made by Prospect Resources Limited during the year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001.

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention modified, where applicable, for financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of AASB 117, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in AASB 102 or value in use in AASB 136.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AIFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. Where these are areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, these are disclosed in Note 2(aa).

Comparative figures

When required by accounting standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current year. When the Group applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period will be disclosed.

(b) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:

  • has power over the investee;

  • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

  • has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Company reassesses 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 listed above.

==> picture [315 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

38.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 30 June 2019

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company's voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:

  • the size of the Company's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;

  • potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;

  • rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

  • any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders' meetings.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies.

To support the activities outlined in the Directors’ Report, the Group will be required to raise additional funds. The Group has previously been successful in raising cash through equity raisings, as and when required.

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019 have been prepared on a going concern basis, as in the opinion of Directors, the Group will be in a position to meet its operating costs and pay its debts as and when they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of this report.

However, the Directors acknowledge that material uncertainty remains over the Group’s ability to meet its funding requirements, as future funding is uncertain until secured. If for any reason the Group is unable to continue as a going concern, then this could impact the Group’s ability to realise assets at their recognised values and to extinguish liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the consolidated interim financial statements.

(d) Application of new and revised Accounting Standards

The Group has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and AASB 9 Financial Instruments which became effective for financial reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018.

AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with customers

AASB 15 replaces AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction Contracts and several revenue-related Interpretations. AASB 15 establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires that revenue to be recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

The Group has applied the new Standard effective from 1 July 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. Under this method, the cumulative effect of initial application is recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at 1 July 2018 and comparatives are not restated.

(c) Going Concern

For the year ended 30 June 2019, the Group recorded a loss of $6,969,000 (2018: loss $5,640,000) and had net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $18,029,000 (2018: $11,216,000). As at reporting date, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $5,474,000. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s and the Company’s ability to continue as going concerns.

The Company has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 July 2018 which resulted in a changes in accounting policies. This change in policy is relatively consistent with previous policy and has therefore not had a material impact. The Company has applied the modified retrospective application approach in which only the initial period of application applies AASB 15. No adjustments were made as a result of adopting AASB 15.

The Group’s principal objective is to develop the Arcadia Project and as such, it does not presently have a source of operating income sufficient to fund its operations, rather it is reliant on equity raisings or funds from other external sources to fund its activities.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2019

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(d) Application of new and revised Accounting Standards (continued)

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, bringing together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting.

As a result of adopting AASB 9 Financial Instruments, the Group has amended its financial instruments accounting policies to align with AASB 9. AASB 9 makes major changes to the previous guidance on the classification and measurement of financial assets and introduces an ‘expected credit loss’ model for impairment of financial assets.

There were no financial instruments which the Group designated at fair value through profit or loss under AASB 139 that were subject to reclassification. The Board assessed the Group’s financial assets and determined the application of AASB 9 does not result in a change in the classification of the Group’s financial instruments.

The adoption of AASB 9 does not have a significant impact on the financial report.

(e) New and Revised Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods

  • AASB 16: Leases applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

This Standard supersedes AASB 117 Leases, Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, AASB interpretation 115 Operating Leases-Incentives and AASB interpretation 127 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of Lease. AASB 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under AASB 117.

The key features of AASB 16 are as follows:

  • 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 the 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 to lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease.

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.

During the year, the Group had 2 leases which could be cancelled on 2 - 3 months notice with the total obligation being $15,000. The adoption of AASB 16 does not have a significant impact on the financial report.

Other standards not yet applicable

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

(f) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

Sale of Goods

Revenue from sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is brought to account when delivered to the customer and selling prices are known or can be reasonably estimated. For spodumene and petalite concentrate sales, the above conditions are generally satisfied when title passes to the customer, typically on the bill of lading date when the concentrate is delivered to the vessel. For gold, this is generally when the gold is credited to the metal account of the customer.

Farming Income

Revenue from the sale of farming goods is brought to account when delivered to the customer and selling prices are known or can be reasonably estimated.

Interest Income

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis using the effective interest method.

(g) Cash and Cash Equivalents

For statement of cash flow presentation purposes, 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.

(h) Income Tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on a current period’s taxable income based on the income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 30 June 2019

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Deferred tax is accounted for using the 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 for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and tax losses.

(i) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The Group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Details about the Group’s impairment policies and the calculation of the loss allowance are provided in Note 2(s).

Other receivables

Other receivables are recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for impairment.

(j) Inventories

Product inventories comprise ore in stockpiles, work-inprogress and finished goods and are physically measured or estimated and valued at the lower of average cost or net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated future sales price of the product the entity expects to realise when the product is processed and sold, less estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. Where the time value of money is material, these future prices and costs to complete are discounted.

Cost is determined by using the weighted-average method and comprises direct purchase costs and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable overhead costs, including depreciation and amortisation, incurred in converting materials into finished goods, based on the normal production capacity. The cost of production is allocated to joint products using a ratio of spot prices by volume at each month end. Separately identifiable costs of conversion of each mineral are specifically allocated.

Materials and supplies are measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value. The cost is determined using the firstin, first-out principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories. Any provision for obsolescence is determined by reference to specific items of stock. A regular review is undertaken to determine the extent of any provision for obsolescence.

(k) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Depreciation rates and methods shall be reviewed at least annually and, where changed, shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. During the current year, the directors determined that the useful lives of each class of asset are:




Buildings
Plant and equipment
Offce equipment and furniture
and fttings
Vehicles
20 to 40 years
5 to 15 years
3 to 5 years
5 years

Where depreciation rates or methods are changed, the net written down value of the asset is depreciated from the date of the change in accordance with the new depreciation rate or method. Depreciation recognised in prior financial years shall not be changed, that is, the change in depreciation rate or method shall be accounted for on a ‘prospective’ basis.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

(l) Exploration expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred on granted exploration licences is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are carried forward where the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Accumulated costs in relation to any abandoned area will be written off in full against profit in the period in which the decision to abandon the area is made. When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest will be amortised over the life of the area of interest according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. A regular review will be undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

(m) Mine properties

Mines under construction

Expenditure is transferred from ’Exploration and evaluation assets’ to ’Mines under construction’ which is a subcategory of ’Mine properties’ once the work completed to date supports the future development of the property and such development receives appropriate approvals.

After transfer of the exploration and evaluation assets, all subsequent expenditure on the construction, installation or completion of infrastructure facilities is capitalised in ’Mines under construction’. Development expenditure is net of proceeds from the sale of ore extracted during the development phase to the extent that it is considered integral to the development of the mine. Any costs incurred in testing the assets to determine if they are functioning as intended, are capitalised, net of any proceeds received from selling any product produced while testing. Where these proceeds exceed the cost of testing, any excess is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. After production starts, all assets included in ‘Mines under construction’ are then transferred to ’Producing mines’ which is also a sub-category of ’Mine properties’.

Mine properties and property, plant and equipment

(i) Initial recognition

Upon completion of the mine construction phase, the assets are transferred into “Property, plant and equipment” or “Mine properties”. Items of property, plant and equipment and producing mine are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The initial cost of an asset comprises its purchase price or construction cost, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into operation, the initial estimate of the rehabilitation obligation, and, for qualifying assets (where relevant), borrowing costs. The purchase price or construction cost is the aggregate amount paid and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset. The capitalised value of a finance lease is also included in property, plant and equipment.

Mine properties also consist of the fair value attributable to mineral reserves and the portion of mineral resources considered to be probable of economic extraction at the time of an acquisition. When a mine construction project moves into the production phase, the capitalisation of certain mine construction costs ceases, and costs are either regarded as part of the cost of inventory or expensed, except for costs which qualify for capitalisation relating to mining asset additions, improvements or new developments, mine development or mineable reserve development.

(ii) Depreciation/amortisation

Accumulated mine development costs are depreciated/ amortised on a Unit Of Production (UOP) basis over the economically recoverable reserves of the mine concerned, except in the case of assets whose useful life is shorter than the life of the mine, in which case, the straight-line method is applied. The unit of account for run-of-mine (ROM) costs is tonnes of ore, whereas the unit of account for post-ROM costs are recoverable tonnes of Li2O. Rights and concessions are depleted on the UOP basis over the economically recoverable reserves of the relevant area. The UOP rate calculation for the depreciation/amortisation of mine development costs takes into account expenditures incurred to date, together with sanctioned future development expenditure. Economically recoverable reserves include proven and probable reserves. The estimated fair value attributable to the mineral reserves and the portion of mineral resources considered to be probable of economic extraction at the time of the acquisition is amortised on a UOP basis whereby the denominator is the proven and probable reserves, and for some mines, a portion of mineral resources which are expected to be extracted economically. These other mineral resources may be included in depreciation calculations in limited circumstances and where there is a high degree of confidence in their economic extraction. This would be the case when the other mineral resources do not yet have the status of reserves merely because the necessary detailed evaluation work has not yet been performed and the responsible technical personnel agree that inclusion of a proportion of measured and indicated resources is appropriate based on historic reserve conversion rates.

The estimated fair value of the mineral resources that are not considered to be probable of economic extraction at the time of the acquisition is not subject to amortisation, until the resource becomes probable of economic extraction in the future and is recognised in exploration and evaluation assets.

The premium paid in excess of the intrinsic value of land to gain access is amortised over the life of the mine.

Other plant and equipment, such as mobile mine equipment, is generally depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Buildings 20 to 40 years
Plant and equipment 5 to 15 years
Offce equipment and furniture
and fttings 3 to 5 years
Vehicles 5 years

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when the asset is derecognised.

The asset’s residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation/amortisation are reviewed at each reporting period and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Stripping (waste removal) costs

As part of its mining operations, the Group incurs stripping (waste removal) costs both during the development phase and production phase of its operations. Stripping costs incurred in the development phase of a mine, before the production phase commences (development stripping), are capitalised as part of the cost of constructing the mine and subsequently amortised over its useful life using a UOP method. The capitalisation of development stripping costs ceases when the mine/component is commissioned and ready for use as intended by management.

Stripping activities undertaken during the production phase of a surface mine (production stripping) are accounted for as set out below. After the commencement of production, further development of the mine may require a phase of unusually high stripping that is similar in nature to development phase stripping. The cost of such stripping is accounted for in the same way as development stripping (as outlined above).

Production stripping is generally considered to create two benefits, being either the production of inventory or improved access to the ore to be mined in the future. Where the benefits are realised in the form of inventory produced in the period, the production stripping costs are accounted for as part of the cost of producing those inventories. Where the benefits are realised in the form of improved access to ore to be mined in the future, the costs are recognised as a non-current asset, referred to as a ‘stripping activity asset’, if the following criteria are met:

  • a) Future economic benefits (being improved access to the ore body) are probable

  • b) The component of the ore body for which access will be improved can be accurately identified

  • c) The costs associated with the improved access can be reliably measured

If any of the criteria are not met, the production stripping costs are charged to profit or loss as operating costs as they are incurred. In identifying components of the ore body, the Group works closely with the mining operations personnel for each mining operation to analyse each of the mine plans. Generally, a component will be a subset of the total ore body, and a mine may have several components. The mine plans, and therefore the identification of components, can vary between mines for a number of reasons. These include, but are not limited to: the type of commodity, the geological characteristics of the ore body, the geographical location, and/or financial considerations. Given the nature of the Group’s operations, components are generally either major pushbacks or phases and they generally form part of a larger investment decision which requires board approval.

The stripping activity asset is initially measured at cost, which is the accumulation of costs directly incurred to perform the stripping activity that improves access to the identified component of ore, plus an allocation of directly attributable overhead costs. If incidental operations are occurring at the same time as the production stripping activity, but are not necessary for the production stripping activity to continue as planned, these costs are not included in the cost of the stripping activity asset.

If the costs of the inventory produced and the stripping activity asset are not separately identifiable, a relevant production measure is used to allocate the production stripping costs between the inventory produced and the stripping activity asset. This production measure is calculated for the identified component of the ore body and is used as a benchmark to identify the extent to which the additional activity of creating a future benefit has taken place. The Group uses the expected volume of waste extracted compared with the actual volume for a given volume of ore production of each component.

The stripping activity asset is accounted for as an addition to, or an enhancement of, an existing asset, being the mine asset, and is presented as part of ’Mine properties’ in the statement of financial position. This forms part of the total investment in the relevant cash generating unit(s), which is reviewed for impairment if events or changes of circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The stripping activity asset is subsequently depreciated using the UOP method over the life of the identified component of the ore body that became more accessible as a result of the stripping activity. Economically recoverable reserves, which comprise proven and probable reserves, are used to determine the expected useful life of the identified component of the ore body. The stripping activity asset is then carried at cost less depreciation and any impairment losses.

Major maintenance and repairs

Expenditure on major maintenance refits or repairs comprises the cost of replacement assets or parts of assets and overhaul costs. Where an asset, or part of an asset, that was separately depreciated and is now written off is replaced, and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group through an extended life, the expenditure is capitalised.

Where part of the asset was not separately considered as a component and therefore not depreciated separately, the replacement value is used to estimate the carrying amount of the replaced asset(s) which is immediately written off. All other day-to-day maintenance and repairs costs are expensed as incurred.

(m) Mine properties (continued)

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale (a qualifying asset) are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective asset. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Where funds are borrowed specifically to finance a project, the amount capitalised represents the actual borrowing costs incurred. Where surplus funds are available for a short term from funds borrowed specifically to finance a project, the income generated from the temporary investment of such amounts is also capitalised and deducted from the total capitalised borrowing cost. Where the funds used to finance a project form part of general borrowings, the amount capitalised is calculated using a weighted average of rates applicable to relevant general borrowings of the Group during the period.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred.

(n) Intangible Assets

Software

Costs associated with maintaining software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. The cost of purchasing software, and development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group are recognised as intangible assets where the following criteria are met:

  • it is technically feasible to complete the software so that it will be available for use

  • management intends to complete the software and use or sell it

  • there is an ability to use or sell the software

  • it can be demonstrated how the software will generate probable future economic benefits

  • adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software are available, and

  • the expenditure attributable to the software during its development can be reliably measured

Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the software include employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the asset is ready for use.

(o) 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 entity but is not control or joint control those policies. Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting, whereby the investment is initially recognised at cost (including transaction costs) and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate. In addition, the Group’s share of the profit or loss of the associate is included in the Group’s profit or loss.

The carrying amount of the investment includes, when applicable, goodwill relating to the associate. Any discount on acquisition, whereby the Group’s share of the net fair value of the associate exceeds the cost of investment, is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associate.

When the Group’s share of losses in the associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group discontinues recognising its share of losses unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. When the associate subsequently makes profits, the Group will resume recognising its share of those profits once its share of the profits equals the share of the losses not recognised.

(p) Interests in Joint Arrangements

Joint arrangements represent the contractual sharing of control between parties in a business venture where unanimous decisions about relevant activities are required.

Separate joint venture entities providing joint venturers with an interest to net assets are classified as a joint venture and accounted for using the equity method. Refer to Note 2(o) for a description of the equity method of accounting.

Joint operations represent arrangements whereby joint operators maintain direct interests in each asset and exposure to each liability of the arrangement. The Group’s interest in the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint operations are included in the respective line items of the consolidated financial statements.

Gains and losses resulting from sales to a joint operation are recognised to the extent of the other parties’ interests. When the Group makes purchases from a joint operation, it does not recognise its share of the gains and losses from the joint arrangement until it resells those goods/assets to a third party.

The Group amortises intangible assets with a limited useful life, using the straight-line method over the following periods:

IT development and software - 12 years

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(q) Provision

Provisions are recognised 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.

Provision for site restoration and rehabilitation

In accordance with the Group’s environmental policy and applicable legal requirements, a provision for site restoration and rehabilitation in respect of disturbed land is recognised when the land is disturbed.

The provision is the best estimate of the present value of the expenditure required to settle the restoration and rehabilitation obligation at the reporting date, based on current legal requirements and technology. Future restoration and rehabilitation costs are reviewed annually and any changes are reflected in the present value of the restoration and rehabilitation provision at the end of the reporting period. The unwinding of the effect of discounting on the provision is recognised as a finance cost.

(r) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(s) Financial Instruments

Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial instruments (except for trade receivables) are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transaction costs, except for those carried at ‘fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine the fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.

Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price if the receivables do not contain a significant financing component in accordance with AASB 15.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expired.

Classification and measurement

Financial assets

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:

  • amortised cost;

  • fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI); and

  • fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).

Classifications are determined by both:

  • the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets; and

  • the Group’s business model for managing the financial asset.

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet with the following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL);

  • they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows; and

  • the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

The Group measures debt instruments at fair value through OCI if both of the following conditions are met:

  • the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding; and

  • the financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling the financial asset.

For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortised cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in OCI.

Upon initial recognition, the Group can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading.

45.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2019

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(s) Financial Instruments (continued)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term.

Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.

Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss.

All interest-related charges and, if applicable, gains and losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment

From 1 July 2018, the Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

Comparative information

The Group applied AASB 9 prospectively, with an initial application date of 1 January 2018. The Group has not restated the comparative information, which continues to be reported under AASB 139. As the Company does not have significant financial instruments that would be classified differently under AASB 9, the adoption of AASB 9 does not have a material effect on the information disclosed in prior year.

Classification

Until 30 June 2018, the Group classified its financial assets in the following categories:

  • financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;

  • loans and receivables;

  • held-to-maturity investments; and

  • available for sale financial assets.

The classification depended on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determined the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluated this designation at the end of each reporting period.

==> picture [80 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

(t) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional currency. The functional currency of all subsidiaries other than Thornvlei is US Dollars. Thornvlei’s functional currency is Zimbabwe Dollars.

Transaction 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. Nonmonetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non- monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity when the exchange difference arises on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation).

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

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 exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period;

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

  • Retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with functional currencies other than the Australian dollar are recognised in other comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. The cumulative amount of these differences is reclassified into profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed of.

(u) 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 from the proceeds.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 30 June 2019

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(v) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the result attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS adjusts the figures used in the calculation of basic EPS 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 or known to have been issued in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(w) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flow on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(x) Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the Company, on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at balance date.

(y) Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of profit or loss.

Impairment testing is performed annually for intangible assets with indefinite lives.

(z) Share based payment transactions

Equity settled transactions

The Company provides benefits to its employees (including key management personnel) in the form of share based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity settled transactions).

The cost of these equity settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The charge to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is taken when the options are granted. There is a corresponding entry to equity.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

(aa) Critical Accounting Judgement and Key Sources of Uncertainty

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies which are described above in Note 2(a), the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affect only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods of the revision affects both current and future periods.

Key Estimates

Ore reserves

Economically recoverable ore reserves represent the estimated quantity of product in an area of interest that can be expected to be profitably extracted, processed and sold under current and foreseeable economic conditions. The Group determines and reports ore reserves under the standards incorporated in the Australasian Code for Reporting Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, 2012 Edition (the JORC Code).

The determination of ore reserves includes estimates and assumptions about a range of geological, technical and economic factors, including: quantities, grades, productions techniques, recovery rates, production costs, transport costs, commodity demand, commodity prices and exchange rates. Changes in ore reserves impact the assessment of recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets, property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount of assets depreciated on a units of production basis, provision for site restoration and the recognition of deferred tax assets, including tax losses.

Exploration an evaluation expenditure

The application of the Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgement to determine whether future economic benefits are likely, from either future exploitation or sale, or whether activities have not reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves.

In addition to applying judgement to determine whether future economic benefits are likely to arise from the Group’s Exploration & Evaluation assets or whether activities have not reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves, the Group has to apply a number of estimates and assumptions. The estimates directly impact when the Group defers exploration and evaluation expenditure. The deferral policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions about future events and circumstances, particularly, whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2019

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after expenditure is capitalised, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of expenditure is unlikely, the relevant capitalised amount is written off in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period when the new information becomes available.

Mine Properties

Estimated economically recoverable reserves are used in determining the depreciation and/or amortisation of minespecific assets. This results in a depreciation/amortisation charge proportional to the depletion of the anticipated remaining life-of-mine production. The life of each item, which is assessed at least annually, has regard to both its physical life limitations and present assessments of economically recoverable reserves of the mine property at which the asset is located. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions, including the amount of recoverable reserves and estimates of future capital expenditure. The calculation of the UOP rate of depreciation/amortisation could be impacted to the extent that actual production in the future is different from current forecast production based on economically recoverable reserves, or if future capital expenditure estimates change.

Changes to economically recoverable reserves could arise due to changes in the factors or assumptions used in estimating reserves, including:

  • The effect on economically recoverable reserves of differences between actual commodity prices and commodity price assumptions

Share based payments

The fair value of employee share options and share appreciation rights is measured using Black Scholes. Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends, the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds) and probability applied to the non-vesting conditions (based on management’s judgement formed in consideration of all the available facts and circumstances).

Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value. Any different estimates and assumptions affecting the measurement inputs would have resulted in different grant date fair values, which would have changed equity settled share-based payments expense. Subsequent changes to this estimate could have a significant effect on share based payment expense and the associated equity-settled payments reserve. The fair value calculation and inputs to the Black Scholes model are shown at Note 17(a).

Impairment

The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related permit itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.

  • Unforeseen operational issues

Deferred tax assets

Changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.

Rehabilitation Provision

The ultimate rehabilitation costs are uncertain, and cost estimates can vary in response to many factors, including estimates of the extent and costs of rehabilitation activities, technological changes, and regulatory changes. These uncertainties may result in future actual expenditure differing from the amounts currently provided. Therefore, significant estimates and assumptions are made in determining the provision for mine rehabilitation. As a result, there could be significant adjustments to the provisions established which would affect future financial result. The provision at reporting date represents management’s best estimate of the present value of the future rehabilitation costs required.

Management have made a judgement for the non recognition of deferred tax asset as the recovery of tax losses and other deferred tax assets is not considered probable at this stage.

(bb) Rounding of Amounts

The Group has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191. Accordingly, the amounts in the financial statements and directors’ report have been rounded to the nearest $1,000.

Note 3. Financial Risk Management

Risk management is the role and responsibility of the Board. The Group's current activities expose it to minimal risk. However, as activities increase there may be exposure to interest rate, market, credit, and liquidity risks.

(a) Market Risk

(i) Interest Rate Risk

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities, is as follows:

The Group has interest bearing assets and therefore income and operating cash flows are subject to changes in the market rates. However, market changes in interest rates will not have a material impact on the profitability or operating cash flows of the Group. A movement in interest rates of +/- 100 basis points will result in less than a +/- $47,000 (2018: $111,000) impact on the Group’s income and operating cash flows. At this time, no detailed sensitivity analysis is undertaken by the Group.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2019

Note 3. Financial Risk Management (continued)

(ii) Price Risk

The Group is not exposed to equity securities price risk as it holds no investments in securities classified on the balance sheet as either fair value through profit or loss or at fair value through other comprehensive income .

The Group is not currently exposed to significant commodity price risk as it still operates in the exploration & development phase. However, future operational cash flows will be affected by fluctuations in the lithium price and gold price. The Group will develop strategies to mitigate this risk when it moves from the exploration & development phase into the production phase.

(iii) Currency risk

Currency risk arises from investments and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities.

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk in the form of financial instruments held in US Dollars (USD) and Zimbabwe Dollars (ZWL). The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in Australian dollars, was as follows:

==> picture [489 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

2019 2018
$’000 $’000
----- End of picture text -----

Cash and cash equivalents - USD 662 3,858
Cash and cash equivalents - ZWL 50 -
Trade and other payables - USD (462) (612)
Trade and other payables - ZWL (22) -
Total Exposure 228 3,246

Assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% strengthening of the Australian dollar at 30 June 2019 against the USD and ZWL would have resulted in an increased loss of $20,000 (2018: $325,000) and $3,000 (2018: $Nil) respectively. A 10% weakening of the AUD would have resulted in a decreased loss of $20,000 (2018:$ 325,000) against the USD and $3,000 (2018: $Nil) against the ZWL, assuming all other variables remain constant. The Group does not currently hedge against currency risk.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash on hand and demand deposits. The Group limits its credit risk by holding cash balances and demand deposits with reputable counterparties with acceptable credit ratings.

(c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash to meet commitments as and when they fall due. The Group manages liquidity risk by preparing forecasts and monitoring actual cash flows and requirements for future capital raisings. The Group does not have committed credit lines available, which is appropriate given the nature of its operations. Surplus funds are invested in a cash management account with Westpac Banking Corporation which is available as required.

The material liquidity risk for the Group is the ability to raise equity in the future.

(d) Effective interest rate and repricing analysis

Cash and cash equivalents are the only interest bearing financial instruments of the Group.

(e) Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.

Note 4. Segment Information

Identification of reportable segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

In the current year the Group engaged in exploration for minerals in Zimbabwe. The operations were located in Australia, Singapore and Zimbabwe with the head office being in Australia and Singapore balances included with Zimbabwe.

(1) During the year, the Zimbabwe Government introduced a domestic currency called the Zimbabwe Dollar (ZWL). The Group is required to lodge its tax returns in Zimbabwe in local ZWL, with all carried forward tax losses being restated from USD to ZWL at 1:1. The closing exchange rate between the AUD/ZWL at 30 June 2019 was $4.74:1. This has resulted carried forward losses being devalued by 4.74:1.

Tax losses have not been recognised as a deferred tax asset as recoupment is dependent on, amongst other matters, sufficient future assessable income being earned. That is not considered certain in the foreseeable future and accordingly there is uncertainty that the losses can be utilised. The deferred tax liabilities of the Group relate to capitalised exploration costs. The Group’s Arcadia Project has obtained Special Economic Zone status which results in a 0% tax rate for the 5 years, then 15% thereafter. The deferred tax liabilities of the Group are estimated as $Nil (2018: $2,790,000).

Note 27. Discontinued Operations

(a) Disposal of Prospect Cobalt Pte Ltd and its subsidiaries

On 16 May 2019, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement to sell 100% of its investment in Prospect Cobalt Pte Ltd (‘Prospect Cobalt’) to New Energy Metals Limited (“NRG”). The sale completed on 28 June 2019. Prospect Cobalt owns a 100% interest in an exploration business in Democratic Republic of Congo. The consideration for the disposal was:

At completion

  • A$1,000 and costs of transferring ownership

Additional contingent consideration

  • A$50,000 of new shares in NRG’s proposed seed capital placing

  • A$100,000 of new shares in NRG’s proposed IPO placing

  • A$1,000,000 on delineation of a JORC Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of greater the 5Mt at an average grade of greater than 2% copper and greater then 0.5% cobalt on existing or future projects generated by NRG and its subsidiaries in the DRC; and

  • A net smelter royalty (NSR) of 1% on any copper and cobalt products produced from existing or future projects generated by NRG and its subsidiaries in the DRC.

As the contingent consideration is uncertain, no amounts have been recognised at 30 June 2019.

(b) Analysis of loss for the year from discontinued operations

The results of the discontinued operations (ie exploration in DRC business) included in the loss for the year are set out below. The DRC operations were created during the financial year, thus comparatives are $Nil.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Prospect Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.

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

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

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

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (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.

Material Uncertainty Relating to Going Concern

Without modifying our audit opinion expressed above, attention is drawn to the following matter.

As referred to in Note 2 (c) to the financial statements, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. At 30 June 2019, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $5,474,000, incurred net cash outflows from operating activities totalling $7,818,000 and incurred a loss after income tax of $6,969,000.

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and meet its planned mine development, administration and other commitments is dependent upon the Group raising further working capital and/or successfully exploiting its mineral assets. In the event that the Group is not successful in recapitalising the Group and/or raising further equity or successfully exploiting its mineral assets, the Group may not be able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due and the realisable value of the Group’s current and non-current assets may be significantly less than book values.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matters How the matter was addressed in the audit

Carrying Value of Mine Properties

As at 30 June 2019, Capitalised Value of Mine Properties totals $21,084,000 (refer to Note 11 of the financial report).

The carrying value of Capitalised Mine Properties is a key audit matter due to:

  • The significance of the total balance (72% of total assets);

  • The determination by the Board of the completion of the exploration stage at the Arcadia Lithium Project and the subsequent reclassification of the Project to development and therefore, transfer of the capitalised exploration and evaluation costs to Development Costs;

  • The necessity to assess management’s application of the requirements of the accounting standard Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (“AASB 6”), in relation to capitalised exploration and evaluation costs (which were subsequently reclassified to development costs) and the application of the requirements of the accounting standard AASB 116, Property, Plant and Equipment (AASB 116) in light of any indicators of impairment that may be present; and

  • The assessment of significant judgements made by management in relation to the Capitalised Mine Properties.

Inter alia, our audit procedures included the following:

  • i. Assessing the Group’s right to tenure over the Arcadia Lithium Project by corroborating the ownership of the mining lease title to government registries and relevant third-party documentation;

  • ii. Reviewed ASX announcements, minutes and held discussions with the Management to confirm the date of completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) and their intention to develop the Arcadia Lithium Project. Corroborated with the subsidiary auditor to ensure the correct cut-off and classification of costs incurred after determination to reclassify exploration and evaluation expenditure to development costs;

  • iii. Evaluation of the directors’ assessment and classification of the carrying value of the Mine Properties, ensuring the veracity of the data presented and that management have considered the effect of potential impairment indicators, commodity prices and the stage of the Group’s projects also against the requirements of AASB 116 and AASB 136 Impairment of Assets;

  • iv. Evaluation of the NPV Model relating to the Arcadia Lithium Project by corroborating the accuracy and relevance of the input data used in the model. Assessed the appropriateness of cash flows projections in the calculation of the net present value, challenging the reasonableness of key assumptions based on our knowledge of the business and announcements made by the Company and published market and industry data;

v. Consideration of the requirements of accounting standard AASB 116 and reviewed the financial statements to ensure appropriate disclosures are made.

~~Other Information~~

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, 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 opinion 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

Independent Auditor's Report

==> picture [109 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

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

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

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

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

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

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

As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report.

The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control.

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.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We 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.

We 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.

We 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 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.

Annual Report 2019

Independent Auditor's Report

==> picture [112 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

The Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements. 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 with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore 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.

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 24 to 30 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2019. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards

Opinion on the Remuneration Report
