Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Half Year Ended 31 December 2016
The interim consolidated financial report covers Petratherm Limited and its controlled entities ('the Group'). Petratherm Limited is a for-profit Company limited by shares, 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 financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 13 March 2017.
1 Basis of Preparation
This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the reporting period ending 31 December 2016 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting.
The interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Petratherm Limited and controlled entities (the Group). As such it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half year within the Group. This condensed consolidated financial report does not include all the notes normally included in an annual financial report. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2016, together with any public announcements made during the half year.
The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements.
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.
2 Operating Segments
The Board has considered the requirements of AASB 8 Operating Segments and the internal reports that are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (the Board) in allocating resources and has concluded at this time that there are no separately identifiable segments.

The Company completed a ten for one share consolidation on 14 November 2016. The consolidation involved the conversion of every ten fully paid ordinary shares into one fully paid ordinary share. Where the consolidation resulted in a shareholder having a fractional entitlement to a share, the Company has rounded up the entitlement to the next whole number.
5 Contingencies & Commitments
Group has entered into a bank guarantee with the South Australian State Government, totalling $100,000 at 31 December 2016. This guarantee is designed to act as collateral over the tenement which Petratherm explores on and can be used by the State Government authorities in the event that Petratherm does not sufficiently rehabilitate the land it explores. It is noted that the bank guarantee as at the date of signing this report has not been utilised by the State Government.
Other than disclosed, the Company did not have any other contingencies or commitments at 31 December 2016.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Petratherm Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
