Petratherm Limited Directors' report 30 June 2019
Principal activities
During the financial year the principal continuing activities of the Group consisted of:
-
2852 km[2] Land holding acquired over the Mabel Creek Ridge which is prospective for Olympic Dam Style Copper and Gold and related Rare-Earth mineralisation
-
A number of semi-coincident magnetic and gravity anomalies have been identified over the licence areas for ground gravity surveying follow-up to determine drill targets.
-
Ground gravity surveying over the Eastern Mabel Creek Project area identified a large-amplitude discrete gravity target comparable in size and magnitude to the Prominent Hill copper-gold deposit gravity response. Drilling of this target and other gravity targets will occur during the next period.
-
Large ground position secured over the highly prospective Bendigo Gold Zone in Victoria
-
To facilitate the rehabilitation of the Paralana 2 geothermal well.
Review of operations
The loss for the Group after providing for income tax amounted to $678,169 (30 June 2018: $552,631). The Company has continued to strategically develop a project portfolio in world-class mineral provinces.
As of September 2019, just after the current reporting period, four tenements (EL 6332, EL 6333, EL6404 & EL 6405) had been granted over the Mabel Creek Ridge totalling 2,852km[2] (Figure 1). The Mabel Creek Ridge is prospective for Olympic Dam Style Copper-Gold (IOCG) mineralised systems but is also considered highly prospective for related, magnetite skarn copper and high value rare-earths. During the period gravity surveying identified several high tenor targets to be drill tested.
In Victoria, the Company secured two tenement holdings prospective for high-grade vein orogenic gold. The Yuengroon Project totals 683 km[2 ] and covers a highly prospective ground position over a portion of the Bendigo Zone, covering the historic northern Wedderburn Goldfield and extends westwards to cover a large strike continuance (32 kilometres) of the Golden Jacket Fault which shows several high-grade historical gold occurrences. A second Victorian gold project, Silver Spoon (EL6951) covers prospective ground close to the Fosterville and Costerfield Gold Mines. The resurgence in interest in Victorian Goldfields, largely stems from the spectacular success of Kirkland Lake Gold’s Fosterville operations, with production forecast to increase to over 500,000 ounces in 2020 (reference: Kirkland Lake Gold Press Release 11/12/2018).
On 31 August 2018, the Group established Oberon Resources US Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary company, in the United States. The Company performed desktop and limited field reconnaissance work in the USA evaluating a number of strategic mineral projects.
Beach Energy (Beach), as Manager of the Paralana Geothermal Energy Project (GEL 156 - 79% Petratherm, 21% Beach) completed the plugging and abandonment of the Paralana 2 geothermal well and other surface rehabilitation of the site. This is the last major works required before formal surrender of the Company’s last legacy geothermal tenement. The Company reduced other lower priority project holdings, with EL5717 (Walparuta) surrendered and the Corunna Project (EL 5497) JV Letter Agreement with Musgrave Minerals, terminated.
A summary of ground activities during the period is presented below

Likely developments and expected results of operations
Mabel Creek Project (EL6332 & EL6333) – Targeting Olympic Dam Style, Copper-Gold
The Mabel Creek Project comprises four granted tenements (EL 6332, EL 6333, EL 6404 and EL 6405) totalling 2852 km[2] (Figure 1). A number of semi-coincident magnetic and gravity anomalies have been identified over the licence areas (refer to PTR ASX releases 05/12/18, 12/12/18 & 21/3/2019 for background). These geophysical features have potential to be due to hydrothermal iron-oxide systems. Mineralised examples of these occur along the eastern margin of the Gawler Craton of South Australia and include Olympic Dam, Carrapateena, Prominent Hill and most recently BHP’s latest discovery at Oak Dam.
The Mabel Creek Ridge is an ENE trending zone of shallow covered basement rock which display high magnetic and gravity relief along the eastern margin of the Gawler Craton. It is prospective for large Olympic Dam Style Copper-Gold (IOCG) mineralised systems but is also considered highly prospective for related, magnetite skarn copper and high value rareearths.
The region has only been lightly explored, however at the Cadi Prospect (Figure 1) which is adjacent to Petratherm’s tenements, limited widely spaced historical drilling intersected mineralised magnetite-amphibole-pyroxene rock containing significant concentrations of copper and rare-earths (refer to PTR ASX release 23/07/19).
Historic drill intercepts include (not true widths):
-
NC9202 - 44m @ 0.10% Cu, 0.5 % La + Ce from 148m
-
99WS003 - 16m @ 0.57% Cu and 0.17% La + Ce from 184 m to end of hole
-
2000Cadi6 – 52m @ 0.43% La + Ce from 100m
These results are characteristic of magnetite skarn alteration/mineralisation found in areas around Prominent Hill and other IOCG systems further to the south and provides evidence that IOCG style alteration/mineralisation is likely to continue through the region of Petrathem’s tenement areas.
Importantly, depth of the overlying cover sediments over the licence areas is minimal. Historical drilling records the top of the prospective basement, between 80 metres and 200 metres over the majority of the tenements.

In August after the reporting period the Company completed a gravity survey over an eastern portion of its Mabel Creek Project tenement holdings (Figure 1). In total 1,124 gravity readings were taken to infill 7 areas which had some previous evidence of gravity and/or magnetic anomalism. Preliminary findings of the raw data have identified several anomalies which will undergo 3D modelling analysis to help rank and define targets for potential drill testing. One of these targets, Area 3, is a discrete high tenor gravity anomaly which is comparable in size and magnitude to the gravity response from the Prominent Hill Copper-Gold Deposit (refer to PTR ASX release 14/08/19). Descriptions of two of the initial defined targets are presented below.
The Area 3 target is a discrete NNW trending gravity anomaly, approximately 2.5 kilometres in length and approximately 3 milligals in magnitude (Figure 2). The target has a comparable size and magnitude of gravity to the Prominent Hill coppergold deposit and initial depth modelling estimates suggest the top of the body may start at about 250 metres depth. 3D Inversion modelling work is yet to be completed and this will be reported at a later date.

The Area 2 target is a gravity anomaly of approximately 3 milligals within a broader zone of regional higher gravity. Figure 3 depicts a gradient gravity image highlighting the target area along with a reduced to pole magnetic image of the same area. The aeromagnetic image contains a discrete highly magnetic body however the gravity body appears to have a larger extent. Initial depth to basement estimates suggests the target may start at about 150 metres.

The Company has been working with Native Title Holders to complete Mining Access Agreements to allow geophysical surveying over the remainder of the tenement package and to allow drilling activities in the near term. This work is advanced, and it anticipated agreements will be finalised in October 2019.
Yuengroon Project (ELA006897) - Victoria Gold Position Secured
The Yuengroon Project Tenement Application was formally accepted by the Victoria State Government Authority in January 2019 and given the highest ranking over the area shown in Figure 4. The area secured, totalling 683 km2, covers a highly prospective ground position over a portion of the Bendigo Zone, covering the historic northern Wedderburn Goldfield and extends westwards to cover a large strike continuance (32 kilometres) of the Golden Jacket Fault which shows several important historical gold occurrences. The western area has only been lightly explored and is mostly under shallow cover.
9
Petratherm Limited Directors' report 30 June 2019
Recorded historical gold production from the Wedderburn field is 140,000 Oz. These finds came mainly from alluvial workings but also included some shallow reef mining down to the water table which occurs at approximately 20 metres depth. Very little modern drilling has occurred to test for depth extensions of the reef systems below the water table.
There are two notable recorded historic mine occurrences along the Golden Jack Fault. The Golden Jacket Mine (Figure 4) comprises a shallow small-scale shaft reef mine worked to just 46 metres depth. Total recorded production was 171.7 tonnes of ore which produced 1,385 Oz of gold. Whilst only a small historic working the grade is exceptional, running at an average of 250.1 g/t Au. The Nine Mile Reef (Figure 4) is a larger historical mine, which was worked down to 131 metres depth and mined 43,571 tonnes of ore producing 16,236 Oz of gold (average grade 11.6 g/t Au) (Source: Victorian State Government GeoVic database).
Much of the recent upturn in gold exploration in Victoria has come from explorers gaining a better understanding of the structural controls of the reef systems hosting the gold shoots, and the importance of major faults localising mineralisation. In many cases, very little serious modern exploration has occurred, testing the extents and depth of these historic gold reef systems.
During the period land access negotiations were undertaken over the Yuengroon Tenement area as the tenement application is well advanced and it is anticipated this licence will be granted in October 2019. Talks with landholders have gone well and two broad corridors of land currently totalling 150 km[2 ] along favourable geological structures have been opened up for future ground exploration activities. Once the licence has been granted, initial exploration works will comprise sampling of outcropping and sub-cropping quartz reefs and regional soil sampling to define gold indicator zones ready for later drill testing.

Silver Spoon Project (ELA06951) - Close to Fosterville Gold Mine
In March the Company secured a prospective ground position close to the operating Fosterville and Costerfield Gold Mines (Figure 5). The area contains several historic gold and other mineral prospects in areas of outcrop. Younger cover sediment however masks much of the prospective host rock and these regions have only been very lightly explored.
In recent years the utilisation of modern detailed gravity surveying to locate prospective faults under shallow cover sediment has been paramount in identifying potential gold bearing zones for later drill testing. ASX listed Catalyst Metals’ has demonstrated the success of this methodology with the both the Four Eagles and Tandarra Prospect gold discoveries under shallow cover sediment north of Bendigo (reference Catalyst ASX: CYL, 08/08/2018 ASX release). Petratherm is reviewing previous exploration results and processing geological and geophysical data in readiness to commence field work once the tenement is granted.

Non-audit services
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor are outlined in note 22 to the financial statements.
The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
-
none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

Petratherm Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2019
Note 1. General information
The consolidated financial statements cover Petratherm Limited as a Group consisting of Petratherm Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Petratherm Limited's functional and presentation currency.
Petratherm Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is:
C/- HLB Mann Judd (SA) Pty Ltd 169 Fullarton Road DULWICH SA 5065
A description of the nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are included in the Directors' report, which is not part of the financial statements.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 30 September 2019.
Note 2. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out either in the respective notes or below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and AASB 9 Financial Instruments became effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Accordingly, the Group applied AASB 15 and AASB 9 for the first time for the period ending 30 June 2019. Changes to the Group’s accounting policies arising from these standards are summarised below:
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement requirements. It 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. When adopting AASB 9, the Group has applied transitional relief and elected not to restate prior periods. The adoption of AASB 9 has mostly impacted the following areas:
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
As the accounting for financial liabilities remains largely unchanged from AASB 139, the Group’s financial liabilities were not impacted by the adoption of AASB 9.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
AASB 15 replaces AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction Contracts and several revenue-related Interpretations. The new Standard has been applied as at 1 January 2018. There is no impact to the Group’s historical financial results given the company is not currently in production.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.
22
Petratherm Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2019
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 25.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Petratherm Limited ('Company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2019 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Petratherm Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group'.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group 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 activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
Revenue recognition
The Group recognises revenue as follows:
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Joint operations
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The Group has recognised its share of jointly held assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations. These have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate classifications.
Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

Petratherm Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2019
Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Share-based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or BlackScholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
Research and Development Incentive
Research and development tax incentive income is recognised at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the income will be received. Income from R&D tax incentive is recognised as other income through the statement of profit and loss. The expected future R&D tax incentive, for qualifying R&D expenditure for the current financial year, has been accrued and is also recognised as other income in the statement of profit and loss. It has been established that the conditions of this future R&D incentive have been met and that the expected amount of the incentive can be reliably measured.
Rehabilitation provision
A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs for future rehabilitation of land explored or mined. The Group's mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. The Group recognises management's best estimate for assets retirement obligations and site rehabilitation in the period in which they are incurred. Actual costs incurred in the future periods could differ materially from the estimates. Additionally, future changes to environmental laws and regulations, life of mine estimates and discount rates could affect the carrying amount of this provision. Refer to Note 13 for details of the provision for environmental rehabilitation in relation to the Paralana project.
Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the Group will commence commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the mineral resources. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made.
Note 4. Restatement of comparatives
Reclassification
The Research and Development Incentive has been reclassified and is now treated as other income in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income. In previous periods this receipt was treated as an income tax refund.
Statement of financial position at the beginning of the earliest comparative period
When there is a restatement of comparatives, it is mandatory to provide a third statement of financial position at the beginning of the earliest comparative period, being 1 July 2017. However, as there were no adjustments made as at 1 July 2017, the Group has elected not to show the 1 July 2017 statement of financial position.

The Group has tax losses arising in Australia of $31,569,827 (2018: $31,027,588) that may be available and may be offset against future taxable profits of the companies in which the losses arose. In addition, these tax losses can only be utilised in the future if the continuity of ownership test is passed, or failing that, the same business test is passed.
No deferred tax asset has been recognised because it is not likely future assessable income is derived of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised.
Accounting policy for income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
-
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred 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 losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure has been carried forward 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 recovered reserves. Management assessment of carried forward expenditure resulted in impairment charges of $229,972 (2018: Nil).
Accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.

Accounting policy for trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Environmental rehabilitation
The provision represents the present value of estimated costs of the remediation work at the Paralana Project that will be required to comply with environmental and legal obligations.
During the year, the provision was transferred to trade payables based on an invoice received by Petratherm totaling $247,451.72 (excl. GST) to settle the remediation work relating to the Paralana joint venture project.
The remediation work was completed in August 2019. The under-accrual of $26,452 required to complete the remediation work has been charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Accounting policy for provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Capital risk management
The Group's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
Proceeds from share issues are used to maintain and expand the Group’s exploration activities and fund operating costs. There are no externally imposed capital requirements.
The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 2018 Annual Report.
Accounting policy for issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Note 20. Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain risk exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk and beta analysis in respect of investment portfolios to determine market risk.
Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the Group and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the Group's operating units.
Market risk
Price risk
The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk.
Interest rate risk
The Group is not exposed to any significant interest rate risk.
31
Petratherm Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2019
Note 20. Financial instruments (continued)
Credit risk
The Group has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of the Group based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forwardlooking information that is available.
Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year.
Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to the financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the Group to incur a financial loss. The Group's maximum credit exposure is the carrying amounts on the statement of financial position. The Group holds financial instruments with credit worthy third parties. The credit risk for liquid funds and � other short term financial assets is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings. The Group has no past due or impaired debtors as at 30 June 2019.
Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Fair value of financial instruments
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value.

In accordance with AASB 133 Earnings per Share, potential ordinary shares are antidilutive when their conversion to ordinary shares would increase earnings per share or decrease loss per share from continuing operations. The calculation of diluted earnings/(losses) per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or other issue of potential ordinary shares that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings/(losses) per share.
Accounting policy for earnings/(losses) per share
Basic earnings/(losses) per share
Basic earnings/(losses) per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to the Owners of Petratherm Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings/(losses) per share
Diluted earnings/(losses) per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings/(losses) per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Note 31. Share-based payments
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.
-
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.

Accounting policy for share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.
37
Petratherm Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2019
Note 31. Share-based payments (continued)
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the 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 conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors’ for the financial report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
