- The over-arching executive remuneration framework;
9 | P a g e

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
-
Operation of the incentive plans which apply to executive directors and senior executives, including key performance indicators and performance hurdles;

In accordance with the Company’s Constitution, the Directors may at any time, subject to the Listing Rules, adopt any scheme or plan which they consider to be in the interests of the Company and which is designed to provide superannuation benefits for both present and future Non-Executive Directors, and they may from time to time vary this scheme or plan.
The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is detailed in Table 1 and their contractual arrangements are disclosed in “Section E – Contractual Arrangements”.

-
Fair and responsible rewards to Executives having regard to the performance of the Group, the performance of the Executives and the general pay environment.
The remuneration of Executives is detailed in Table 1 and their contractual arrangements are disclosed in “Section E – Contractual Agreements”.
Executive Remuneration Approvals
The Company aims to reward Executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and aligned with market practice.

Relationship between Remuneration and Company Performance
Given the early stages of product development, the Board did not consider earnings during the current or previous financial year when determining, and in relation to, the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP.
The pay and reward framework for key management personnel may consist of the following areas:
-
a) Fixed Remuneration – base salary;
-
b) Variable Short-Term Incentives; and
-
c) Variable Long-Term Incentives.
The combination of these would comprise the key management personnel’s total remuneration.
a) Fixed Remuneration – Base Salary
The fixed remuneration for each senior executive is influenced by the nature and responsibilities of each role and knowledge, skills and experience required for each position. Fixed remuneration provides a base level of remuneration which is market competitive and comprises a base salary inclusive of statutory superannuation. It is structured as a total employment cost package.
Key management personnel are offered a competitive base salary that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards. External remuneration consultants may provide analysis and advice to ensure base pay is set to reflect the market for a comparable role. No external advice was taken this year. Base salary for key management personnel is reviewed annually to ensure the executives’ pay is competitive with the market. The pay of key management personnel is also reviewed on promotion. There is no guaranteed pay increase included in any key management personnel’s contract.
b) Variable Remuneration – Short Term Incentives (STI)
Discretionary cash bonuses may be paid to senior executives annually, subject to the requisite Board and shareholder approvals where applicable. No bonus payments were made during the financial year.
The Company adopted an Incentive Option Scheme during the year ended 30 June 2016. The Scheme allows eligible participants to be granted Options to acquire Shares in the Company. The Board may grant Options to any Director, full or part time employee, or casual employee or contractor who falls within the definition of an Eligible Participant as defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000. Each Option granted under the Scheme will be granted for nil or nominal consideration. Each Option is exercisable into one Share in the Company and the exercise price and expiry date for Options granted under the Scheme will be determined by the Board prior to the grant of the Options.
The Options granted may be subject to conditions on exercise as may be fixed by the Directors prior to grant of the Options. The Options will not be quoted on ASX.
Other than options disclosed in section D of the Remuneration Report, there have been no other options issued to employees at the date of this financial report.

Transcendence Technologies Limited – Annual Report 2021
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Reporting Entity
Transcendence Technologies Limited (referred to as “TTL” or the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office and principal place of business is disclosed in the Corporate Directory of the Annual Report. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2021 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “consolidated entity” or the “Group”). The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.
(b) Basis of Preparation
Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Transcendence Technologies Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
The financial statements are authorised for issue on 11 August 2021 by the directors of the Company.
Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated.
Going concern
The Consolidated Entity has incurred a net loss after tax of $333,124 (2020: loss of $412,615) and had net cash outflows used in operations of $254,477 (2020: outflows of $451,288) for the year ended 30 June 2021.
The ability of the entity to continue as a going concern is dependent on the successful completion of the Redcastle Gold Project acquisition and capital raising as announced to the market on 29 July 2021.
These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Management believe there are sufficient funds to meet the entity’s working capital requirements and as at the date of this report.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the entity is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business for the following reasons:
-
the Consolidated Entity’s cash flow forecast for the period to August 2022 indicates that the Consolidated Entity will have sufficient cash to assist the Consolidated Entity to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules, to fund future exploration activities and for working capital.
-
subsequent to year end, the Consolidated Entity plans to conduct a raising under a full form prospectus for the issue of 225,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares (on a post-consolidation basis) at an issue price of $0.02 per share to raise a minimum of $4,500,000.
Should the entity not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.
New, revised or amended standards and interpretations adopted by the Group
The Company 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.
22 | P a g e
Transcendence Technologies Limited – Annual Report 2021
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. The Company’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Company, are set out below.
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)
The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards. Where the Company has relied on the existing framework in determining its accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under the Australian Accounting Standards, the Company may need to review such policies under the revised framework.
At this time, the application of the Conceptual Framework is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
Significant Judgements and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity’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 1(f).
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent Transcendence Technologies Limited and all of the subsidiaries (including any structured entities). Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it 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 over the entity.
(c) Principles of Consolidation
The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non-controlling interests”. The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the noncontrolling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, noncontrolling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income.
(e) Functional and Presentation Currency
The financial statements have been presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
(f) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the Company based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Company operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Company unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
(g) Comparatives
Where required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current year.
(h) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision makers have been identified as the Board of Directors.
| NOTE 2 REVENUE Other revenue Interest income |
2021 2020 $ $ |

| 540 5,840 |
Accounting Policy
Revenue is recognised when or as the Group transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount to which the Group expects to be entitled. If the consideration promised includes a variable component, the Group estimates the expected consideration for the estimated impact of the variable component at the point of recognition and re-estimated at every reporting period.
Interest Income
Interest income is recognised when the Company gains controls of the right to receive the interest payment.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax.

NOTE 4 SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The information presented in the financial report is the same information that is viewed by the Directors.
The Group is currently operating in one business segment being an administrative entity in the technology sector and one geographic region being Australia.

The benefit of the above temporary differences and unused tax losses will only be realised if the conditions for deductibility are met as set out in the note below. These amounts have no expiry date.
Based on the failure of the Continuity of Ownership Test (COT) and the Same Business Test (SBT) for the 2015 financial year, tax losses carried forward of $12,798,840 are unable to be offset against any future income.

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current Tax
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 5 INCOME TAX EXPENSE (continued)
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated 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 enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

Accounting Policy
Basic Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit or loss after income tax attributable to members of the Company, 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 year.
Diluted Earnings Per Share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of 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 shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Accounting Policy
Trade Receivables
Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.
Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset of the assets or 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 taxation authority is included as a current asset or liability in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST on investing and financial activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
Other Receivables
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for expected credit loss. Other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. Based on the credit history, it is expected that these other balances will be received when due.

At shareholders meetings, each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.
Accounting Policy
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. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.
If the entity reacquires its own equity instruments, for example, as a result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity.

NOTE 15 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unprofitability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods included sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate and ageing analysis for credit risk.
Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors (‘the Board’) and includes identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the Group and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits.
The carrying values of the Group’s financial instruments are as follows:
| Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Financial Liabilities Trade and other payables |
2021 2020 $ $ |
|---|---|
| 492,489 746,966 14,287 28,025 |

|
| 97,607 32,698 |
|
| 97,607 32,698 |
(a) Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
The Company is not significantly exposed to foreign currency risk fluctuations.
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in the market interest rates on interest bearing financial instruments. The Group’s exposure to this risk relates primarily to the Group’s cash and any cash on deposit. The Group does not use derivatives to mitigate these exposures. The Group manages its exposure to interest rate risk by holding certain amounts of cash in fixed and floating interest rate facilities. At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments was:
| Cash and cash equivalents | 2021 2020 Weighted average interest rate(i) Balance Weighted average interest rate Balance |
|---|---|
| $ $ |

| 0.01% 492,489 0.54% 746,966 |

30 | P a g e
Transcendence Technologies Limited – Annual Report 2021
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 15 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued)
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counterparty, with maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of the financial assets.
The Group’s policy is to trade only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms will be subject to credit verification procedures.
In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group except for cash and cash equivalents.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to its reputation.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves from funds raised in the market and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. The Group does not have any external borrowings.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities:
| 2021 Trade and other payables 2020 Trade and other payables |
6 months 6-12 months 1-5 years > 5 years Total $ $ $ $ $ |
|---|---|
| 97,607 - - - 97,607 |
|
| 32,698 - - - 32,698 |
(d) Sensitivity analysis
Within this analysis, consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates. The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date. The 1% increase and 1% decrease in rates is based on reasonably expected possible changes over a financial year, using the observed range of historical rates for the preceding five-year period.
At 30 June 2021, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post-tax losses and equity would have been affected as follows:
| Profit | /(Loss) | Equity | ||

(e) Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to:
-
Safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and
-
Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the number of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Given the stage of the Group’s development there are no formal targets set for return on capital. There were no changes to the Group’s approach to capital management during the year. The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The net equity of the Group is equivalent to capital. Net capital is obtained through capital raisings on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”).

Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have not identified any key audit matters for Transcendence Technologies Limited.
