Bruno Ruggiero - Chairman and Independent Non-Executive Director Sal Catalano - Executive Director and Company Secretary Steven Chadwick - Executive Director Robert Osmetti - Independent Non-Executive Director David Trimboli - Independent Non-Executive Director
Review of Operations and Financial Results
The first half of the 2019 Financial Year was a significant turning point for the company - it completed its restructure and recapitalisation; its securities were reinstated to official quotation and it commenced work on the definitive feasibility study (DFS) to expand its Uley Mine production to world scale levels.
Restructure and Recapitalisation
On 14 August 2018 the Company announced that the Interlocking DOCAs had been fully implemented with all conditions satisfied including the recapitalisation of the Company and the issue of all securities. Accordingly:
-
(a) the Deed Administrators, Mr Laurence Fitzgerald and Mr Michael Humphris, resigned and notified ASIC that the Interlocking DOCAs had been fully effectuated;
-
(b) the Group exited external administration; and
-
(c) the Group, following the restructure, comprised Quantum Graphite Limited and Quantum Graphite Operations Pty Ltd.
Following shareholder approvals obtained at the 2017 AGM, the Company issued the following securities pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1:
-
(a) On 21 July 2018, 6,197,638,425 shares at $0.0252 per share to the Secured Creditor Beneficiaries;
-
(b) On 21 July 2018, 1,000,000,000 options to acquire ordinary shares, exercise price $0.00, expiry date 20 July 2023;
-
(c) On 28 August 2018, 177,243,000 shares at $0.0252 per share to the Secured Creditor Beneficiaries in accordance with the Interlocking DOCAs; and
-
(d) On 28 August 2018, 108,000,000 shares at $0.001 per share to the directors in lieu of their quarterly director fees as follows:

Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS)
The DFS, being undertaken by Lycopodium Minerals, is critical to the company’s plans to build the framework for a long-term substantial increase in the production capacity at its flagship Uley Mine. The DFS will include:
-
(a) the preparation of a revised mine plan for Uley 2 together with the completion of any necessary metallurgical test work and drilling;
-
(b) the review and probable extension of the company’s existing Mineral Resources;
-
(c) the design of a larger and modern processing facility to maximise product potential from the Uley Mine ore body.
1
QUANTUM GRAPHITE LIMITED ABN: 41 008 101 979
Directors’ Report (Continued)
As at the date of this report, metallurgical test work remains ongoing. The decision to expand the scope of the test work to include the resource encompassed within the Extensional Drilling Campaign (Uley 2 Extension) added approximately 4 weeks to the testing program. The Board considers the advantages gained from including the Uley 2 Extension far outweighed the delay. The further data obtained from this test work together with the additional geological modelling of the Uley 2 Extension, should produce a far superior mine plan with greater versatility especially in relation to future expansion.
The company’s financial performance is broadly in line with plan and subject to the final amount raised under the Rights Offering (see below), the company does not expect to require further capital until the completion of the DFS.
Other matters
Corporate Actions
On 10 December 2018 the company announced an Unmarketable Share Sale Facility to deal with the significant increase in the number of shareholders holding unmarketable parcels following completion of its reconstruction. The facility will remove the prohibitive costs to shareholders selling small holdings and assist the company reduce costs associated with maintaining this large number of small holdings.
On the same date, the company also announced an offer (Rights Offering) of shares to eligible shareholders in the form of a non-renounceable rights issue of 1 new share for every 10 existing shares at an offer price of 0.3 cents per share to raise up to a maximum of A$3.25 million. The Rights Offering was made under an Offer Information Statement (OIS). The Rights Offering was not underwritten and the offer closed on 11 March 2019.
Mining Titles
On 24 December 2018, the company was notified of the renewal of EL6224 to 12 October 2020. EL6224 extends for approximately 76 square kilometres and includes the highly prospective Mikkira graphite deposit.
Events Arising Since the End of The Reporting Period
The Company has been advised by its share registry that it has received Rights Offering proceeds of approximately $226,900. Pursuant to the OIS and ASX Listing Rule 7.2, the Directors reserved the right to place the shortfall, notified to the Company by the share registry, of the amount of 1,005,373,002 fully paid ordinary shares.
There were no other events that have arisen since the end of the financial period which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the company, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the company in subsequent financial years.
A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under s307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is included on page 3 of this financial report and forms part of this Directors’ Report.
Signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors.

QUANTUM GRAPHITE LIMITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2018
Notes to the financial statements For the period ended 31 December 2018
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Nature of operations
Quantum Graphite Limited principal activity is the manufacture of high grade flake graphite products and the mining of and exploration for graphite deposits in South Australia.
b) General information and basis of preparation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the interim financial statements) of the Group are for the six months ended 31 December 2018 and are presented in Australian Dollars, which is the functional currency of the Parent Company. These general purpose interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting . They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2018 and any public announcements made by the Group during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules and Corporations Act 2001.
These interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The 30 June 2018 financial statements were previously prepared on the realisation basis. The comparative figures have been reclassified, where appropriate, to the going concern basis of reporting.
The interim financial statements have been approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 15 March 2019.
c) Changes in accounting policies
Going concern basis of accounting
The financial report has been prepared on the basis of a going concern. This is a significant change from the 30 June 2018 annual report which used the realisation basis of preparation due to the significant uncertainty of the Company’s ability to meet its ongoing operating and financing commitments into the foreseeable future. On 14 August 2018 the Group completed the terms of the interlocking Deeds of Company Arrangements (“Interlocking DOCAs”) and was reinstated on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) on 27 September 2018.
The consolidated entity incurred a net loss after tax from continuing operations of $1,222,392 for the six months ended 31 December 2018, and had a net cash outflow of $1,378,391 from operating and investing activities. The consolidated entity is reliant upon completion of capital raising for continued operations and the provision of working capital. If additional capital is not obtained, the going concern basis may not be appropriate, with the result that the Group may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities, other than in the ordinary course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report. No allowance for such circumstances has been made in the financial report.
New standards adopted as at 1 July 2018
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and AASB 9 Financial Instruments (2014) became effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Accordingly, the Group applied AASB 15 and AASB 9 for the first time to the interim period ended 30 June 2018. Changes to the Group’s accounting policies arising from these standards are summarised below:
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.

QUANTUM GRAPHITE LIMITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2018
Notes to the financial statements
For the period ended 31 December 2018
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 the Group’s financial assets
Financial assets are classified according to their business model and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following four categories:
-
Financial assets at amortised cost
-
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
-
Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
-
Equity instruments at FVTOCI
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group’s financial assets are subject to AASB 9’s new three-stage expected credit loss model. The Group considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.
In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:
-
Financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Stage 1’) and
-
Financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’).
‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.
‘12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category.
Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.
For trade receivables and contract assets under AASB 15 the Group applies a simplified approach of recognising lifetime expected credit losses as these items do not have a significant financing component.
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.

d) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends of economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
Key estimates
Impairment
The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined.
Decommissioning provision
Estimates and assumptions of the appropriate discount rate at which to discount the liability, the timing of cash flows, the application of relevant environmental legislation and the future expected costs of decommissioning are all used in determining the carrying value of the decommissioning provision.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report To the Members of Quantum Graphite Limited
Report on the half year financial report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half year financial report of Quantum Graphite Limited (the Company) and its subsidiary (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half year ended on that date, a description of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half year financial report of Quantum Graphite Limited does not give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2018, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the half year ended on that date, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting .
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1(c) in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of $1,222,392 and a net cash outflow from operating and investing activities of $1,378,391 during the half year ended 31 December 2018. As stated in Note 1(c), these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(c), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half Year Financial Report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half year 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 half year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and its performance for the half year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Quantum Graphite Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
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 have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
