Operations overview
Corporate Activities
Petratherm Limited (Petratherm / the Company) continues the minimisation of ongoing expenditure whilst the board assess new business opportunities with high growth potential. In December 2015, the Company announced a share placement and a fully underwritten rights issue, at a price of $0.003 per share, to be undertaken by Taylor Collison to raise a total sum of $773,633 before costs. The rights issue was successfully completed in January 2016. The monies raised have been applied to working capital and new projects and/or joint ventures.
In May 2016 the Company announced it had entered into a conditional deal to acquire MSGooroo (Gooroo) Pty Ltd a human resource technology company. In July, post reporting period, the Company announced that the deal had been terminated at the request of Gooroo and that all costs incurred by Petratherm in relation to the deal would be reimbursed by Gooroo.
Paralana Geothermal Project - South Australia (79% Petratherm)
Petratherm's Paralana Geothermal Energy Project (GEL 156) is located 600 kilometres north of the city of Adelaide, South Australia. Petratherm's partner in the project, Beach Energy, holds a 21% interest. The project aims to test for viable engineered geothermal resources for electricity generation. The project has achieved important technical milestones with the drilling of a deep well to 4 km where rock temperature is 190oC, development of a sub-surface heat exchanger to allow circulation of geothermal waters through the hot rock at depth, and has undertaken production flow testing.
The next stage of works aimed to complete a geothermal well doublet and the establishment of a 3.5 MWe power plant. Despite the Company's best efforts, the necessary funding required to continue has not been secured.
In September 2015, surface rehabilitation works at the Paralana 2 drill site was undertaken. The drilling sump and water storage ponds were rehabilitated. The drill casing stockpile, a mobile office and other site equipment associated with the drilling and fracture stimulation works were removed from site.
The JV partners resolved in June 2016 to plugging and abandoning the Paralana 2 geothermal well and completing final surface rehabilitation works before a formal surrender of the geothermal licence will occur.
Kempton Petroleum Licence (EL3/2013) – Tasmania (100% Petratherm)
ABN 17 106 806 884
Directors' Report
30 June 2016
In January 2016, the Company made a partial surrender of the less prospective land on its sole Tasmanian oil and gas tenement. The remaining licence area which was still substantial, 2100 km2 , comprised the area most prospective for hydrocarbon accumulation. Geochemical assessment during the period from drill core samples determined that hydrocarbons have partially migrated from source rocks and therefore there is potential for conventional oil and gas accumulations in addition to unconventional shale oil and gas plays.
The Tasmanian State Governments recent placement of a 5 year moratorium on hydraulic fracturing however created uncertainty with regards to being able to explore for unconventional oil and gas resources and ended any potential JV any interest the Company was seeking to initiate to advance the project further. The Company consequently applied to surrender the licence in June and is this was formally accepted just after the reporting period, in August 2016.
Tenerife Geothermal Project – Spain (93.023% Petratherm)
The Company completed during the year the programmed shutdown of its Spanish Operations. All tenements have been surrendered and in June Petratherm Espana SL was formally liquidated.
Risk management
The Group takes a proactive approach to risk management. The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and the Group's objectives and activities are aligned with the risks and opportunities identified by the Board.
The Group believes that it is crucial for all board members to be a part of this process, and as such the Board has not established a separate risk management committee.
The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that management's objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by the Board. These include the following:
- ! Board approval of a strategic plan, which encompasses the Group's vision, mission and strategy statements, designed to meet stakeholder's needs and manage business risk.
- ! Implementation of Board approved operating plans and budgets and Board monitoring of progress against these budgets, including the establishment and monitoring of performance indicators of both a financial and non-financial nature.
Significant changes in state of affairs
The following significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group occurred during the financial year:
- i) On 29 December 2015, the Company announced it had completed a share placement. 50,000,000 shares were issued at $0.003 per share, raising a total of $150,000.

The second tranche would be conducted with Shareholder approval following a general meeting of the Company. Subsequently on 31 August 2016, the Company announced it had completed the first tranche placement of 130,000,000 shares.
Except for the above, no other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or could significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.
Future developments and results
The Group is actively identifying for new projects with an emphasis on energy and resource projects. Provision of any further information may result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.
Environmental issues
The Group is aware of its responsibility to impact as little as possible on the environment, and where there is any disturbance, to rehabilitate sites. During the year under review, the majority of work carried out was in South Australia and Tasmania and the Group followed procedures and pursued objectives in line with guidelines published by the South Australian and Tasmanian Governments.
These guidelines are quite detailed and encompass the impact on owners and land users, heritage, health and safety and proper restoration practices. The Group supports this approach and is confident that it properly monitors and adheres to these objectives, and any local conditions applicable wherever it explores.
The Group is committed to minimising environmental impacts during all phases of exploration, development and production through a best practice environmental approach. The Group shares responsibility for protecting the environment for the present and the future. It believes that carefully managed exploration programs should have little or no long-lasting impact on the environment and the Company has formed a best practice policy for the management of its exploration programs. The Group properly monitors and adheres to this approach and there were no environmental incidents to report for the year under review. Furthermore, the Group is in compliance with the state and/or Commonwealth environmental laws for the jurisdictions in which it operates.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2016
This financial report covers the consolidated financial statements and notes of Petratherm Limited ('the Company') as an individual entity and the consolidated Group comprising Petratherm Limited and its Controlled Entities ('the Group'). Petratherm Limited is a listed public Group incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
Each of the entities within the Group prepare their financial statements based on the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity's functional and presentation currency.
The separate financial statements and notes of the parent entity, Petratherm Limited, have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by amendments made to the Corporations Act 2001. Parent entity summary is included in Note 28.
The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 26 September 2016.
Comparatives are consistent with prior years, unless otherwise stated.
1 Basis of Preparation
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
These financial statements and associated notes comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Except for the cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and are consistent with prior reporting periods unless otherwise stated.
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial position and performance of controlled entities from the date on which control is obtained until the date that control is lost.
Intragroup assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cashflows relating to transactions between entities in the consolidated entity have been eliminated in full for the purpose of these financial statements.
Appropriate adjustments have been made to a controlled entity's financial position, performance and cash flows where the accounting policies used by that entity were different from those adopted by the consolidated entity. All controlled entities have a June financial year end.
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 22 to the financial statements.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the parent has control. Control is established when the parent is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity.
ABN 17 106 806 884
Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2016
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(a) Principles of Consolidation (continued)
Joint Arrangements
AASB 11 Joint Arrangements defines a joint arrangement as an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control and classifies these arrangements as either joint ventures or joint operations.
Petratherm Limited has determined that it has only joint operations.
Joint operations:
In relation to its joint venture operations, where the venturer has the rights to the individual assets and obligations arising from the arrangement, Petratherm Limited has recognised:
- ! Its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;
- ! Its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;
- ! Its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;
- ! Its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation;
- ! Its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.
These figures are incorporated into the relevant line item in the primary statements.
The Group has entered into a number of Joint Ventures with various parties to explore certain tenements that the Group has beneficial interest in. A full list of these Joint Ventures, as well as the parties involved, can be found in Note 27.
(b) Revenue and other income
Revenue is recognised when the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and specific criteria relating to the type of revenue as noted below, has been satisfied.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is presented net of returns, discounts and rebates.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
Sale of goods
Revenue is recognised on transfer of goods to the customer as this is deemed to be the point in time when risks and rewards are transferred and there is no longer any ownership or effective control over the goods.
ABN 17 106 806 884
Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2016
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(b) Revenue and other income (continued)
Rendering of services
Revenue in relation to rendering of services is recognised depending on whether the outcome of the services can be estimated reliably. If the outcome can be estimated reliably then the stage of completion of the services is used to determine the appropriate level of revenue to be recognised in the period.
If the outcome cannot be reliably estimated then revenue is recognised to the extent of expenses recognised that are recoverable.
Interest revenue
Interest is recognised using the effective interest method.
(c) Finance costs
Finance costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other finance costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.
(d) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Bank overdrafts also form part of cash equivalents for the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows and are presented within current liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position.
(e) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables, which generaly have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.
An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified.
(f) Financial instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial instruments are recognised initially using trade date accounting, i.e. on the date that the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
On initial recognition, all financial instruments are measured at fair value plus transaction costs (except for instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss where transaction costs are expensed as incurred).

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(f) Financial instruments (continued)
Initial recognition and measurement (continued)
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial Assets
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through the provision of goods and services to customers but also incorporate other types of contractual monetary assets.
After initial recognition these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Any change in their value is recognised in profit or loss.
The Group's trade and other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.
Significant receivables are considered for impairment on an individual asset basis when they are past due at the reporting date or when objective evidence is received that a specific counterparty will default.
The amount of the impairment is the difference between the net carrying amount and the present value of the future expected cash flows associated with the impaired receivable.
In some circumstances, the Group renegotiates repayment terms with customers which may lead to changes in the timing of the payments, the Group does not necessarily consider the balance to be impaired, however assessment is made on a case-by-case basis.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities 'at fair value through profit or loss' or other financial liabilities depending on the purpose for which the liability was acquired.
The Group's financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables, which are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Impairment of financial assets
At the end of the reporting period the Group assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
ABN 17 106 806 884
Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2016
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(f) Financial instruments (continued)
Financial assets at amortised cost
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate.
Impairment on loans and receivables is reduced through the use of an allowance accounts, all other impairment losses on financial assets at amortised cost are taken directly to the asset.
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in profit or loss.
Available-for-sale financial assets
A significant or prolonged decline in value of an available-for-sale asset below its cost is objective evidence of impairment, in this case, the cumulative loss that has been recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment. Any subsequent increase in the value of the asset is taken directly to other comprehensive income.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the Group no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability, extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed is recognised in profit or loss.
(g) Income Tax
The tax expense recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income comprises of current income tax expense plus deferred tax expense.
Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable (recoverable) in respect of the taxable profit (loss) for the year and is measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences which are determined by comparing the carrying amounts of tax bases of assets and liabilities to the carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements.
ABN 17 106 806 884
Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2016
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(g) Income Tax (continued)
Deferred tax is not provided for the following:
- ! The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).
- ! Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
- ! Temporary differences related to investment in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and losses can be utilised.
Current and deferred tax is recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the period except where the tax arises from a transaction which is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity respectively.
Tax consolidation
Petratherm Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have decided not to implement the tax consolidation legislation.
If the Group were to implement the tax consolidation legislation in the current or future reporting period, the consequence would be that Petratherm Limited, as the head entity in the tax consolidated group, recognises current and deferred tax amounts relating to transactions, events and balances of the wholly owned Australian controlled entity inthe Group as if those transactions, events and balances were its own, in addition to the current and deferred tax amounts arising in relation to its own transactions, events and balances.
Amounts receivable or payable under an accounting tax sharing agreement with the tax consolidated entities are recognised separately as tax related amounts receivable or payable. Expenses and revenues arising under the tax sharing agreement are recognised as a component of income tax expense (revenue). The deferred tax balances recognised by the parent entity in relation to wholly-owned entity joining the tax consolidated group are measured based on their carrying amounts at the level of the tax consolidated group before the implementation of the tax consolidation regime.
There will be no impact of the legislation on the Group's historical carrying amounts of its deferred tax assets, as these have not been recognised in the parent or the Group's financial statements.
ABN 17 106 806 884
Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2016
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(h) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as part of receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows are included on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(i) Plant and Equipment
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment.
Costs include purchase price, other directly attributable costs and the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and restoring the asset, where applicable.
Depreciation
Plant and equipment is depreciated on a reducing balance basis over the assets useful life to the Group, commencing when the asset is ready for use.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are shown below: Fixed asset class Depreciation rate Plant and Equipment 10 - 50%
At the end of each annual reporting period, the depreciation method, useful life and residual value of each asset is reviewed. Any revisions are accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(j) Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period the Group determines whether there is any evidence of impairment for its non-financial assets.
Where this indicator exists and regardless for goodwill, indefinite life intangible assets and intangible assets not yet available for use, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated.
Where assets do not operate independently of other assets, the recoverable amount of the relevant cashgenerating unit (CGU) is estimated.
ABN 17 106 806 884
Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2016
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(j) Impairment of non-financial assets (continued)
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and the value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or cashgenerating unit.
Where the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Reversal indicators are considered in subsequent periods for all assets which have suffered an impairment loss, except for goodwill.
(k) Exploration expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through 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. As the asset is not available for use it is not depreciated or amortised.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in the period in which the decision to abandon that area is made.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. When provisions for closure and rehabilitation are initially recognised, the corresponding cost is capitalised as an asset representing part of the cost of acquiring the future economic benefits of the operation. The capitalised cost of closure and rehabilitation activities is recognised in property, plant and equipment and depreciated accordingly. The value of the provision is progressively increased over time as the effect of discounting unwinds, creating an expense which is recognised in finance costs. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology discounted to their present value.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is an uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.
(l) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
ABN 17 106 806 884
Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2016
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(m) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.
(n) Leases
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all of the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. The lease is not recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.
(o) Employee benefits
Provision is made for the Group's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be wholly settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled.
Employee benefits expected to be settled more than one year after the end of the reporting period have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting requirements. Cashflows are discounted using market yields on high quality corporate bond rates incorporating bonds rated AAA or AA by credit agencies, with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows. Changes in the measurement of the liability are recognised in profit or loss.
Employee benefits are presented as current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position if the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date regardless of the classification of the liability for measurement purposes under AASB 119.
ABN 17 106 806 884
Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2016
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(p) Equity-settled compensation
The Group provides benefits to employees of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees receive options incentives (equity-settled transactions).
There is currently one plan in place to provide these benefits, the Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) which provides benefits to employees.
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they were granted. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, together with a corresponding increase in the share option reserve, when the options are issued. However, where options have vesting terms attached, the cost of the transaction is amortised over the vesting period.
Upon the exercise of options, the balance of share based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to issued capital.
(q) Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options which vest immediately are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
(r) Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share information for its ordinary shares.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
In accordance with AASB 133 'Earnings per Share', as potential ordinary shares may only result in a situation where their conversion results in an increase in loss per share or decrease in profit per share from continuing operations, no dilutive effect has been taken into account in 2016 and 2015.

(s) 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 and presentation currency.
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the spot rate on the date of the transaction.
At the end of the reporting period:
- ! Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate;
- ! Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction; and
- ! Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value are translated using the rate at the date when fair value was determined.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition or in prior reporting periods are recognised through profit or loss, except where they relate to an item of other comprehensive income or whether they are deferred in equity as qualifying hedges.
Group companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group's presentation currency are translated as follows:
- ! assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
- ! income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period where the average rate approximates the rate at the date of the transaction; and
- ! retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group's foreign currency translation reserve in the consolidated statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed.
ABN 17 106 806 884
Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2016
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(s) Foreign currency transactions and balances (continued)
Foreign operations
The translation of foreign operations with different functional currency from Australian dollars is performed as follows:
- ! Assets and liabilities (including goodwill and fair value adjustments on acquisition) for each consolidated statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of the statement;
- ! Income and expenses for each consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at the rate at the date of the transaction (or an average rate if that rate approximates the rate at the date of transaction;
- ! All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange difference related to that foreign operation recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
(t) Research and development tax incentive refund
Refund amounts received or receivable under the Federal Government's Research and Development Tax Incentive are recognised on an accrual basis. The corporate tax rate component is recognised as a tax expense credit. Any additional component, being the incentive component, is recognised as a government grant.
(u) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards
A number of new and revised standards became effective for the first time to annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2015. Information on the more significant standard(s) is presented below.
AASB 2015-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Financial Reporting Requirements for Australian Groups with a Foreign Parent
AASB 2015-4 amends AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures to ensure that its reporting requirements on Australian groups with a foreign parent align with those currently available in AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements for such groups. AASB 128 will now only require the ultimate Australian entity to apply the equity method in accounting for interests in associates and joint ventures, if either the entity or the group is a reporting entity, or both the entity and group are reporting entities.
AASB 2015-4 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2015.
The adoption of this amendment has not had a material impact on the Group.
(v) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations
The AASB has issued new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The Group has decided not to early adopt these Standards. The following table summarises those future requirements, and their impact on the Group where the standard is relevant:

The AASBnoted that IFRSs do not contain applicationparagraphs that identify the entities andfinancial reports to which the Standards (andInterpretations) apply. As a result, theAASB decided to move the applicationparagraphs previously contained in eachAustralian Accounting Standard (orInterpretation), unchanged, into a newStandard AASB 1057 Application ofAustralian Accounting Standards. | When this Standard is firstadopted for the year ending30 June 2017, there will be noimpact on the financialstatements. |

-
the reported equity will reduce as the carrying amount of lease assets will reduce more quickly than the carrying amount of lease liabilities
-
EBIT in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income will be higher as the implicit interest in lease payments for former off balance sheet leases will be presented as part of finance costs rather than being included in operating expenses
-
operating cash outflows will be lower and financing cash flows will be higher in the statement of cash flows as principal repayments on all lease liabilities will now be included in financing activities rather than operating activities. Interest can also be included within financing activities.

3 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The directors make estimates and judgements during the preparation of these financial statements regarding assumptions about current and future events affecting transactions and balances.
These estimates and judgements are based on the best information available at the time of preparing the financial statements, however as additional information is known then the actual results may differ from the estimates.
The significant estimates and judgements made have been described below.
Key estimates - provisions
As described in the accounting policies, provisions are measured at management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period. These estimates are made taking into account a range of possible outcomes and will vary as further information is obtained.
Key judgements - capitalisation of exploration and evaluation expenditure
The Group's policy for exploration and evaluation, as well as rehabilitation provision is discussed in Note 2(k). The application of this policy requires management to make certain assumptions as to future events and circumstances. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure, management concludes that the capitalised expenditure is unlikely to be recovered by future sale or exploration, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off through the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Refer to Note 11 for further details and a reconciliation of the capitalised expenditure written off during the year.
4 Operating Segments
The Board has considered the requirements of AASB 8 Operating Segments and the internal reports that are reviewed by the chief allocating resources and has concluded at this time that there are no separately identifiable segments.

7 Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net loss for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
The following reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

In accordance with AASB 133 'Earnings per Share', as potential ordinary shares may only result in a situation where their conversion results in an increase in loss per share or decrease in profit per share from continuing operations, no dilutive effect has been taken into account in 2016 or 2015.
There have been no other transactions involving ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares between the reporting date and the date of completion of these financial statements.

12 Share-based Payments
(i) Employee Share Option Plan
The Group established the Petratherm Limited Employee Share Option Plan and a summary of the Rules of the Plan are set out below:
- ! All employees (full and part time) will be eligible to participate in the Plan after a qualifying period of 12 months employment by a member of the Group, although the Board may waive this requirement.
- ! Options are granted under the Plan at the discretion of the Board and if permitted by the Board, may be issued to an employee's nominee.
ABN 17 106 806 884
Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2016
12 Share-based Payments (continued)
- ! Each option is to subscribe for one fully paid ordinary share in the Company and will expire 5 years from its date of issue. An option is exercisable at any time from its date of issue. Options will be issued free. The exercise price of options will be determined by the Board, subject to a minimum price equal to the market value of the Company's shares at the time the Board resolves to offer those options. The total number of shares, the subject of options issued under the Plan, when aggregated with issues during the previous 5 years pursuant to the Plan and any other employee share plan, must not exceed 5% of the Company's issued share capital.
- ! If, prior to the expiry date of options, a person ceases to be an employee of the Group for any reason other than retirement at age 60 or more (or such earlier age as the board permits), permanent disability, redundancy or death, the options held by that person (or that person's nominee) automatically lapse on the first to occur of a) the expiry of the period of 6 months from the date of such occurrence, and b) the expiry date. If a person dies, the options held by that person will be exercisable by that person's legal personal representative.
- ! Options cannot be transferred other than to the legal personal representative of a deceased option holder.
- ! The Company will not apply for official quotation of any options issued under the plan.
- ! Shares issued as a result of the exercise of options will rank equally with the Company's previously issued shares.
- ! Option holders may only participate in new issues of securities by first exercising their options.
The Board may amend the Plan Rules subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules.
The expense recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in relation to share-based payments is disclosed in Note 5(b).
The following table illustrates the number (No.) and weighted average exercise prices (WAEP) and movements in share options issued during the year:

Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group.
The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from activities.
The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any company of counterparties having similar characteristics. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, represents the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk.
Market risk
(i) Cash flow interest rate sensitivity
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as it holds some bank deposits at floating rates.
The Group's policy is to minimise interest rate cash flow risk exposures on long-term financing. Longer-term deposits are therefore usually at fixed rates. At the reporting date, the Group is exposed to changes in market interest rates through its bank deposits, which are subject to variable interest rates.
The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the net result for the year and equity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates of +0.50% and -0.50% (2015: +0.50%/-0.50%), with effect from the beginning of the year. These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions.

(ii) Financial instrument composition and maturity analysis
The following table details the Group's expected maturity and remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial assets and liabilities respectively.
The Group's exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instruments value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities, is as follows:
| WeightedAverageEffective InterestRate | Floating InterestRate | Maturing within 1Year | Non-interestBearing | Total | ||||||

| Total Financial Liabilities | - | - | - | - | 63,857 | 41,162 | 63,857 | 41,162 |
The Group is not materially exposed to any effects on changes in interest rates.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the Group's management of working capital and the finance charges and principal repayments on its debt instruments. It is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, whom have built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves.
