NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of Compliance

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with Australia Accounting Standards ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The half-year financial report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report and any public announcements made during the half year.

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group's annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 except for the application of AASB 16 Leases for the first time for the half year end commencing 1 July 2019. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 31 December 2019

In the period ended 31 December 2019, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effective for the current reporting period. Those which have a material impact on the Group are set out below.

AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 replaces AASB 117 Leases. AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating leases of finance leases-for the lessee – effectively treating all leases as finance leases.

The Group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019.

The Group has applied AASB 16 using a modified retrospective approach with the effect of initially applying this standard recognised at the date of initial application, being 1 July 2019 and has elected not to restate comparative information. Accordingly, the information presented for 30 June 2019 has not been restated.

The impact on the financial performance and position of the Group from the adoption of this Accounting Standards is detailed in note 14.

Other than the above, there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company and therefore, no material change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

The Directors have also reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted for the period ended 31 December 2019. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted on the Group and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

for the half year ended 31 December 2019

NOTE 2: SEGMENT INFORMATION

• Finland exploration activities, which includes exploration and evaluation of mineral tenements in Finland.

NOTE 14. NEW STANDARDS ADOPTED

AASB 16 Leases

Impact on operating leases

AASB 16 Leases supersedes AASB 117 Leases. The Group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019 which has resulted in changes classification, measurement and recognition leases. The changes result in almost all leases where the Company is the lessee being recognised on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and removes the former distinction between 'operating and 'finance leases'. The new standard requires recognition of a right-of-use asset (the leased item) and a financial liability (to pay rentals). The exceptions are short-term, and low value leases.

The Group has adopted AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach under which the reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are recognised in the opening Condensed Statement of Financial Position on 1 July 2019. There is no initial Impact on retained earnings under this approach. The Group has not restated comparatives for the 2019 reporting period.

The Group leases various premises, plant and equipment. As at 30 June 2019, leases were classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

From 1 July 2019, where the Company is a lessee, the Group recognised a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date which the lease asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and the finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a consistent period rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

The lease payments are discounted using an interest rate implicit in the lease, If that rate cannot be determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate the lessee would have to pay to borrow funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

Extension options are included in property leases across the Group. In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option. Extension options are only included In the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended.

for the half year ended 31 December 2019

On initial application right-of-use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised ln the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2019.

There were no onerous lease contracts that required an adjustment to the right-of-use assets of initial application.

On adoption of AASB 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as operating leases under the principles of AASB 117. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 5%.

In the statement of cash flows, the Group has recognised cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability within financing activities, cash payments for the interest portion of the lease liability as interest paid within operating activities and short-term lease payments and payments for lease of lowvalue assets within operating activities.

Extension and termination options are included in property leases across the Group and are an area of judgement. In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included In the lease term if the lease Is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). As at 1 July 2019 the financial effect of revising lease terms to reflect the effect of exercising extension options was an increase in recognised lease liabilities and right-of-use assets of \$110,888.

Right-of-use asset

The recognised right-of-use asset relate to the following types of assets:

	31 December
	2019
	\$
Property leases	258,153
IT Equipment	26,251
	284,404
Lease liability
	31 December
	2019
	\$
Current lease liabilities	92,199
Non-current lease liabilities	196,601
	288,800

Impact

The change in accounting policy resulted in an increase of a right-of-use asset of \$315,901 and a corresponding lease liability of \$317,001 in respect of all these leases, other than short-term leases and leases of low-value assets as at 1 July 2019.

The net impact on retained earnings on 1 July 2019 was \$nil.

for the half year ended 31 December 2019

Practical expedients applied

In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

• The accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 2019 as short-term leases, with no right-of-use asset nor lease liability recognised; and
• The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

Directors' Declaration

The Directors of the Company declare that:

• 1. The interim financial statements and notes set out on pages 6 to 22 are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and other professional reporting requirements including:
• (a) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting; and
• (b) giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity's financial position as at 31 December 2019 and of its performance for the period then ended.
• 1. In the Directors' opinion there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.

This declaration is made in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of S2 Resources Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of S2 Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear then ended, and notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration.

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 the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

• (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2019 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
• (ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

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 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 2019 and its financial 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 the Group, 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. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Group, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.
