CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Dear Shareholders
Without doubt the past year has been extremely difficult for all stakeholders following the apparent expropriation of the Company’s 50% interest in the Abu Dabbab tantalum-Tin-feldspar project (the Project) in Egypt, by an arm of the Egyptian Government. The effective loss of our key asset required the Board to act decisively and implement tough measures on creditors, shareholders and employees to restructure its significant debt position and then seek to relaunch the Company to acquire a new mineral project.
My fellow directors and I are now looking to the future as we commence the recapitalisation of the Company to raise sufficient funds to complete the debt restructure program and enable the Company to identify, assess and secure a new exploration or mining project. As well, we will pursue our compensation claims against the Government of Egypt for the loss of the Project, but realistically the future of the Company cannot be built around a possibly protracted legal process in offshore jurisdictions that we do not control. This is why it was considered necessary to restructure, recapitalise and refocus the Company on a new business strategy as a means to rebuild shareholder value.
I would like to acknowledge the co-operation, patience and support of my fellow directors, former employees, creditors and shareholders which has enabled the Company to progress through this challenging process. Subject to the completion of the proposed underwritten rights issue we very much look forward to providing what we plan to be positive updates on our quest for a new mining or exploration project.
Yours sincerely,

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
1. EGYPT OPERATIONS
1.1 ABU DABBAB TANTALUM-TIN-FELDSPAR PROJECT (50% INTEREST VIA SHAREHOLDING IN TANTALUM EGYPT JSC)
In late February, 2015, the Company announced a revised Project development strategy (the 400K Plan) and a conditional financing arrangement for the Abu Dabbab Tantalum-Tin-Feldspar Project (the Project), (refer ASX announcement 26 February 2015: “Conditional Financing Agreement for Abu Dabbab”). This was regarded as a “break-through” event by the Company to finally getting the Project into production.
The 400K Plan is a staged development strategy, with first production of tantalum and tin achievable within 12 months of starting capital works by utilising the equipment, infrastructure, labour and service contracts from the alluvial tin operation situated on the Abu Dabbab site which ceased operations in September 2014 (Stage 1). The 400K Plan offers reduced execution risk and was primarily developed to facilitate financing of the Project.
In conjunction with the presentation of the 400K Plan proposal to Egyptian Company for Mineral Resources (ECMR) in March 2015, the Company entered into a conditional financing arrangement, to finance the US$7 million capital expenditure for Stage 1, in return for a 50% interest in the Company’s 100% subsidiary, Tantalum International Pty Ltd (TIPL). TIPL holds the Company’s 50% interest in the Project.
This investment was subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the receipt of confirmation, by way of letters, from each of ECMR, and the Egyptian Ministry of Investment (GAFI), that Tantalum Egypt JSC (TE) was in good standing. GAFI is the regulatory authority for TE, and TE holds the Exploitation Licences at Abu Dabbab.
GAFI had approved TE’s renewal of its work permit for the period 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2015, effectively satisfying the GAFI condition precedent.
As regards the ECMR condition precedent, the Company had received verbal assurances of support from ECMR representatives on the TE Board and from the ECMR Chairman, and anticipated the required support letter from ECMR would follow. Despite these assurances, following a meeting between the Chairman of ECMR and the Chairman of TE (who was also the Company’s representative on the TE Board), the Company became aware, on 26 March 2015, that ECMR was seeking ways to dissolve TE, and to reissue the Exploitation Licences to a third party, although no formal notice to that effect had been received.
ECMR did not respond to the Company’s urgent requests to clarify or resolve any outstanding matters and to date ECMR has still not provided any notifications or responses that illuminate their actions. As a result of ECMR’s unwillingness to engage with the Company, the Company suspended further funding into TE.
The Company considers (and ECMR has refused to deny) that Egypt, through ECMR and the Egyptian Mining and Resources Authority (EMRA), is taking measures to gain full control of TE’s Exploitation Licences and the Project.
These developments were completely unexpected in the context of meetings in Cairo through mid-March 2015 where the Company was able to present the Project as “the closest it has ever come to going into production”. Indeed, whilst there were clearly subsisting frustrations in ECMR concerning the long time-line to development, and the poor performance of the alluvial tin operation, the Company had been complimented by representatives of ECMR for the more consultative and collaborative approach adopted over the previous 12 months in the joint venture relationship.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Without ECMR’s support, the Company is not able to procure the required investment funding. The financier has withdrawn his interest in the Project and ECMR has not demonstrated any preparedness to either discuss, or resolve, the situation.
The Company considers ECMR’s present unwillingness to engage, and, accordingly, the Company’s ability to develop the Project, is the direct result of intense pressure on EMCR from a high sovereign authority in Egypt seeking to gain full control of TE’s Exploitation Licences and the Project. The Company has firsthand information to support this view.
The Company is seeking both international and local Egyptian legal advice regarding the extent to which the Company may be entitled to claim in response to the apparent expropriation actions by the Egyptian Government.
1.2 ALLUVIAL TIN OPERATIONS
The Board of TE unanimously decided to cease all activity at the alluvial tin operations at the Abu Dabbab project site effective 10 September, 2014.
The alluvial tin project has been problematical since its inception in March, 2012. Even with the focus on treating various stockpiles since the cessation of mining in early 2014 the operation remained vulnerable to several technical and productivity issues. Ultimately the final phase was terminated prematurely after it became apparent that the expected head grade of the final 81,000 tonne stockpile was 15-20% lower than planned and that the crushed and screened feed material to the Spiral Plant contained a “fixed” or unrecoverable tin component, resulting in the tin yield to final concentrate per tonne processed being lower than planned.
Given the high fixed cost component of the overall project cost structure, efforts to maintain planned production rates or to increase throughput to generate more recovered tin per shift were significantly hampered by productivity issues. On this basis it was decided that there were no options remaining other than to close the operation as quickly as possible.
A production summary for the alluvial tin operation during FY2015 and since inception is provided in Table 1.

2. EXPLORATION & MINERAL RESOURCES
The Company formerly held exploration interests in Egypt and Eritrea via various subsidiary holding companies.
Arrowhead Resources Limited Annual Report 2015

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The main projects in Egypt were Abu Dabbab (Tantalum-tin-feldspar), Nuweibi (Tantalum-feldspar) and WadiAllaqi (gold and base metals). Since the apparent expropriation of the Company’s Abu Dabbab and Nuweibi Projects it has effectively lost control of all its Egyptian exploration interests, plant and equipment and Mineral Resources. On this basis the Company no longer includes any Mineral Resources associated with these projects in its current Mineral Resource Inventory and there is no current Mineral Resource Inventory.
In Eritrea the Company held several prospective exploration licences through its 100% owned subsidiary Adobha Resources (Eritrea) Pty Ltd. Minimal work was undertaken during the financial year as the Company focussed on attracting a joint venture partner to carry the projects forward. Over the past twelve months the Company was not able to either joint venture or sell its Eritrean exploration assets. As a result the Eritrean Ministry of Energy and Mines notified the Company that its Adobha and Gerasi South Exploration Licences had been terminated, with no objection from the Company.
3. CORPORATE
During much of the reporting period management was focussed on securing a financing transaction for the Abu Dabbab Project as well as continuing to cut costs and overheads. This culminated in the financing offer for a revised development plan referred to as the 400k Plan by a Taiwan based investor. However, as detailed above the Company was not able to implement that development plan due to the actions of ECMR and the Company in effect lost control of those assets in early April, 2015.
Since that time management has focused on debt restructuring and recapitalising the Company as outlined in detail in these audited financial accounts. The debt and corporate restructuring proposal was approved by shareholders at a General Meeting on 29 September, 2015 and the final phase of recapitalising the Company (a requirement of the Gandel Metals debt restructuring agreement) is currently underway through a proposed underwritten renounceable rights issue planned to open in late October, 2015 to raise approximately $1.4 million before costs.
Following the “imposed” change in the Company’s business focus in early April, 2015 the Company was forced to retrench Mr Geoff Hawkins (Chief Financial Officer) and Mr Brian Talbot (Project Development Manager). Mr Ian Gandel resigned as Chairman in April, 2015 and Mr Rosenstreich took on the added responsibility of Chairman whilst Company Secretary, Mr Rowan Caren assumed the extra role of Executive Director and Chief Financial officer. Subsequent to the end of the financial year, Mr Jon Starink resigned as an Executive Director of the Board. The current Board comprises Mr Mike Rosenstreich, Mr Rowan Caren and Mr John Kenny.
In early April, the Company relocated its head office in Perth to significantly smaller premises and the exploration office in Eritrea was closed.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activities of the entities within the Group during the year were exploration and development of commercially and economically viable mineral resources. There were no significant changes in the nature of the Group's principal activity during the year other than as noted below.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
The consolidated operating loss of the Group after providing for income tax amounted to $12,608,813 (2014: loss of $5,849,058).
Review of Operations
-
The alluvial tin project in Egypt ceased operations in September 2014.
-
The Company announced a revised Project development strategy (the 400K Plan), and a conditional financing arrangement for the Abu Dabbab Project in February 2015. The 400K Plan and financing arrangements were presented to the Egyptian Company for Mineral Resources (ECMR) (Arrowhead’s 50% equity partner in Tantalum Egypt JSC, the joint venture company through which the Project is to be developed) at meetings in Egypt in March 2015. The 400K Plan was a staged development strategy, with first production of tantalum and tin achievable within 12 months of starting capital works. The Company entered into a conditional financing arrangement, to finance the US$7 million capital expenditure for the first development stage. This investment was subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the receipt of confirmation, by way of letters, from each of ECMR, and the Egyptian Ministry of Investment (GAFI), that Tantalum Egypt JSC (TE) was in good standing. GAFI is the regulatory authority for TE, and TE holds the Exploitation Licences at Abu Dabbab. GAFI has approved TE’s renewal of its work permit for the period 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2015, effectively satisfying the GAFI condition precedent. Arrowhead sought clarification from ECMR of its intentions with respect to the Project, as well as certain assurances that ECMR remained supportive of TE and Project development. However, neither that clarification nor those assurances were received and the proposed financier for the Project has reconsidered its investment in the Project.
-
The Company completed a rights issue in March 2015 which raised $1,044,845 (before costs) at an issue price of $0.002 per share.
-
Since late March, 2015, Arrowhead has been prevented from implementing its development and capital raising plans for the Abu Dabbab Project. At that time, the Company received advice from ECMR that they were seeking to dissolve TE and re-tender the Project’s Exploitation Licences. ECMR alleges that Arrowhead has abandoned the Project. Arrowhead rejects ECMR’s allegations in their entirety and denies that it has, at any time, abandoned the Project. In Arrowhead’s view, ECMR’s conduct constitutes expropriation, or measures tantamount to expropriation, of its interests in the Project.
-
As a consequence of ECMR’s actions, the Company is assumed to no longer have control, as defined in Australian Accounting Standards, over its subsidiary TE and has therefore deconsolidated the results of TE from the Group.
-
As a result of ECMR’s unwillingness to engage with the Company, the Company suspended further funding into Egypt, which resulted in the loss of all accounting and administrative staff and functions in Egypt. The Company is assumed to also no longer have control, as defined in Australian Accounting Standards, over its subsidiary Nubian Resources JSC and has therefore deconsolidated the results of Nubian Resources JSC from the Group.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
-
For the year ended 30 June 2015, exploration expenditure in Eritrea in relation to the Group’s current Exploration Licences (Adobha and Gerasi South) of $7,197 (2014: $213,973) was impaired. Due to the reduction of exploration activities in Eritrea, the Group assessed the carrying value of the capitalised exploration expenditure in relation to the Adobha Exploration Licence and Gerasi South Exploration Licence and decided to fully impair the asset. The assessment led to the recognition of an impairment loss of $7,197, which has been recognised in profit or loss.
-
The Group received a letter from the Eritrean Ministry of Energy and Mines on 19 August 2015 stating that the Adobha Exploration Licence and the Gerasi South Exploration Licences had been terminated. This followed the Company’s unsuccessful efforts over the preceding 12 months to joint venture or sell these licences.
Financial Position
The net assets of the Group have decreased by $5,142,131 to a net deficit of $4,067,793 at 30 June 2015 due largely to the following factors:
-
Discontinuation of the Egyptian operations following a loss of control totalling $10,390,171;
-
Impairment of related party loans previously supported by Group assets in Egypt totalling $457,690;
-
Completion of a rights issue which raised $1,044,865 (before costs); and
-
Net funding for operations and working capital provided as loans from Gandel Metals Pty Ltd in the current year totalling $765,000.
As at the Reporting Date the group had a working capital deficit of $4,115,274 (2014: deficit of $3,788,750).
DIVIDENDS
No dividends were declared or paid during the financial year.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS
The following significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company occurred during the financial year:
-
a) The Company ceased operations at its alluvial tin project joint venture in Egypt in September 2014;
-
b) Loan funding received from Gandel Metals Pty Ltd, a company associated with Mr Ian Gandel, during the year totalled $1,317,000, of which $552,000 was offset against Abbotsleigh Pty Limited’s rights issue entitlement. Abbotsleigh Pty Limited is a Company associated with Mr Gandel;
-
c) Completion of a rights issue which raised a total of $1,044,865 (before costs);
-
d) As a consequence of ECMR’s actions, the Company is assumed to no longer have control, as defined in Australian Accounting Standards, over its subsidiary TE and has therefore deconsolidated the results of TE from the Group; and
-
e) As a result of ECMR’s unwillingness to engage with the Company, the Company suspended further funding into Egypt, which resulted in the loss of all accounting and administrative staff and functions in Egypt. The Company is assumed to also no longer have control, as defined in Australian Accounting Standards, over its subsidiary Nubian Resources JSC and has therefore deconsolidated the results of Nubian Resources JSC from the Group.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE
Other than as noted below, no other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.
-
It is highly unlikely that Arrowhead will regain access to the Abu Dabbab Project or its other interests and assets in Egypt. Arrowhead considers that it will likely need to seek recourse under Egyptian and/or international law (including making a significant claim for financial compensation for the damage it has suffered). Arrowhead will, through its legal counsel, exercise its rights and pursue its claims vigorously;
-
The Company entered into agreements with creditors whereby creditors owed a total of $426,540 have been issued 142,500,000 ordinary shares in the Company in satisfaction of all amounts owing. Amounts owing at the balance date have been adjusted to reflect the amount ultimately settled in shares;

On 29 September 2015, the Company’s shareholders approved a consolidation of its share capital on the basis of one new share for every 100 existing shares, a change of constitution and a change of name to Arrowhead Resources Limited.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
It is unlikely that Arrowhead will regain access to the Abu Dabbab Project or its other interests and assets in Egypt. Arrowhead considers that it will likely need to seek recourse under Egyptian and/or international law (including making a significant claim for financial compensation for the damage it has suffered). Arrowhead will, through its legal counsel, exercise its rights and pursue its claims vigorously. This may include seeking the support of a litigation funding group to assist it in doing so.
Subject to successful completion of the recapitalisation strategy, the Company plans to continue with its core business of identifying, exploring and developing mining projects. It is currently formulating a target framework for acquiring new projects in terms of commodity focus, project status and geographic location amongst other determinants.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE
The Group's operations are not currently subject to any significant environmental regulations under Australian, Eritrean or Egyptian legislation. However, the board is committed to achieving a high standard of environmental performance, and regular monitoring of potential environmental exposures is undertaken by management. The board considers that the Group has adequate systems in place for the management of its environmental requirements and is not aware of any breach of those environmental requirements as they apply to the Group.
The Group is required to carry out its activities in accordance with the Mining Laws and regulations in the areas in which it undertakes its exploration activities.
INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE OF OFFICERS
During or since the end of the financial year the Company has given an indemnity or entered into an agreement to indemnify, or paid or agreed to pay an insurance premium as follows:
-
The Company has paid premiums to insure any director or officer of Arrowhead Resources Limited against liabilities for costs and expenses incurred by them in defending any legal proceedings arising out of their conduct while acting in the capacity of director or officer of the Company, other than conduct involving a wilful breach of duty in relation to the Company. The amount of the premium is $10,883 (2014: $12,047).
-
The Company has entered into “Deeds of Indemnity, Access and Insurance” with directors and officers in which the Company agrees to indemnify the directors and officers in respect of certain liabilities incurred by the director or officer while acting in their capacity for the Company and to insure the director or officer against certain risks they are exposed to as a director or officer of the Company.

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited)
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of Arrowhead Resources Limited.
Remuneration Policy
The remuneration policy of Arrowhead Resources Limited has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives. The board of Arrowhead Resources Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the Group, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.
The board's policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the Group is as follows:
-
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, is developed and approved by the board after seeking professional advice from independent external consultants as required. In the years presented, no external consultants have been used.
-
All executives receive a base salary or fee (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience).
-
The board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Group's performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors.
The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. In the current year, no advice was sought. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is currently fixed at $250,000 with any change in this amount subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.
No relationship exists between the remuneration policy and the Company’s performance.
At the Company’s most recent Annual General Meeting, the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2014 was passed with a greater than 75% vote in favour.
The table below sets out summary information about the consolidated entity’s earnings and movements in shareholder wealth for the five years to 30 June 2015:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
1 CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial report of Arrowhead Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2015 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 30 September 2015. Arrowhead Resources Limited was formerly called Gippsland Limited until shareholders approved the change of name on 29 September 2015.
Arrowhead Resources Limited which is the ultimate parent company, is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group were exploration and development of mineral resources.
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and applicable Australian Accounting Standards.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for certain properties and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of AASB 117, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in AASB 2 or value in use in AASB 136.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
For the purpose of preparing the financial statements, the consolidated entity is a for-profit entity.
(b) Maintenance of Accounting Records
The directors note that in late March 2015, the Company received advice from Egyptian Company for Mineral Resources (ECMR), its 50% equity partner in its subsidiary Tantalum Egypt JSC (TE) that ECMR was seeking to dissolve TE and retender their exploitation licenses, over the Abu Dabbab deposit. Refer to Note 2(d) for further information on this matter.
At 31 March 2015, ECMR had taken control of TE offices in Egypt, where the accounting and statutory records for Tantalum Egypt JSC and its fellow subsidiary, Nubian Resources JSC, were maintained. The directors have determined that on this date Arrowhead effectively lost control and access to the accounting and statutory records of these entities. Despite their best efforts, the directors have not been able to obtain all accounting and statutory records of these entities in relation to transactions and balances for the 9 months ended 31 March 2015. Therefore, the directors have prepared the financial report based on the unaudited trial balance at 31 March 2015 to the best of their knowledge, based on the limited information available to them at the time of preparation of the financial report and have

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
recognized a loss from discontinued operations on Tantalum Egypt JSC and Nubian Resources JSC totaling $10.390m in the statement of profit or loss in relation to the subsidiaries.
(c) Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The consolidated entity has incurred a net loss after income tax of $12,608,813 (2014: $5,849,058) and experienced net cash outflows from operations of $1,470,482 (2014: $2,387,941) and net cash outflows from investing activities of $1,855,136 (2014: $481,441) for the year ended 30 June 2015. As at 30 June 2015, the consolidated entity had a working capital deficiency of $4,115,274 and had cash and cash equivalents of $8,725.
These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Subsequent to year end, Arrowhead issued 142,500,000 shares on a pre-consolidation basis in satisfaction of existing liabilities totalling $426,000. The company has also entered into a mandate agreement with CPS Capital Group Pty Limited (CPS) whereby CPS will act as lead manager, broker and potential underwriter to Arrowhead’s proposed renounceable rights issue (Proposed Rights Issue) to raise $1,428,436 at 1 cent per share, as part of the recapitalisation outlined below. CPS also provided a loan facility of $100,000 for working capital repayable by 20 November 2015. The loan funds were received on 25 August 2015.
The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the period ending 31 December 2016 which indicates that the current cash resources will not meet expected cash outgoings without additional capital and / or debt funding. The directors anticipate that these requirements will be met through the following recapitalisation process, which was approved by shareholders at the general meeting held on 29 September 2015:
-
(i) Successful completion of the Proposed Rights Issue by November 2015;
-
(ii) Consolidation of the Company’s share capital on the basis of one new share for every one hundred existing shares;
-
(iii) Agreement with Gandel Metals Pty Limited (a related entity of former director, Ian Gandel) to forgive debts totalling $3,437,000 and to accept 18,000,000 shares on a post-consolidation basis in satisfaction of remaining liabilities of $180,000, subject to completion of the Proposed Rights Issue; and
-
(iv) Agreement with Ventureworks JDK Pty Limited (a director related entity of John Kenny) to forgive debts totalling $30,000 and to accept 9,600,000 shares on a post-consolidation basis in satisfaction of remaining liabilities of $96,000, subject to completion of the Proposed Rights Issue.
Further, the company will need to secure a new project for shareholders which will create value and gain further investment support.
The directors are satisfied that they will achieve the matters set out above and therefore the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate.
Should the company and the consolidated entity be unable to achieve the initiatives referred to above, there is a material uncertainty whether the company and the consolidated entity will be able to continue as going concerns and, therefore, whether they will realise their assets and discharge their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
The financial report does not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the company and the consolidated entity not continue as going concerns.
(d) Egypt – Discontinued Operations
Since late March, 2015, Arrowhead has been prevented from implementing its development and capital raising plans for the Abu Dabbab Project. At that time, the Company received advice from ECMR, that ECMR was seeking to dissolve TE and re-tender the Project’s Exploitation Licences.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
The Company announced a revised Project development strategy (the 400K Plan), and a conditional financing arrangement for the Project, on 26 February 2015. At the same time, the Company entered into a conditional financing arrangement, to finance the US$7 million capital expenditure for Stage 1, in return for a 50% interest in the Company’s 100% subsidiary, Tantalum International Pty Ltd (TIPL). TIPL holds the Company’s 50% interest in TE and therefore the Project.
This investment was subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the receipt of confirmation, by way of letters, from each of ECMR, and the Egyptian Ministry of Investment (GAFI), that TE was in good standing. GAFI is the regulatory authority for TE, and TE holds the Exploitation Licences at Abu Dabbab. GAFI has approved TE’s renewal of its work permit for the period 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2015, effectively satisfying the GAFI requirement. As regards obtaining ECMR confirmation, the Company had received verbal assurances of support from ECMR representatives on the TE Board and from the ECMR Chairman, and anticipated the required support letter from ECMR would follow. Despite these assurances, following a meeting between the Chairman of ECMR and the Chairman of TE (who was also the Company’s representative on the TE Board), the Company became aware, on 26 March 2015, that ECMR was seeking ways to dissolve TE, and to reissue the Exploitation Licences to a third party, although no formal notice to that effect has been received. The Company requested urgent clarification of ECMR’s intentions from ECMR. ECMR did not respond to the Company’s request at that time, and has not responded to the Company’s further requests to date.
As a result of ECMR’s unwillingness to engage with the Company, the Company suspended further funding into TE and Egypt. The Company considers (and ECMR has not denied) that Egypt, through ECMR and the Egyptian Mining and Resources Authority (EMRA), is taking measures to gain full control of TE’s Exploitation Licences and the Project. Given the potential consequences of not continuing to fund TE, the Directors requested a suspension of trading of the Company’s shares on the ASX pending some clarity or resolution of the matters threatening the Company’s ongoing interest in the Project.
To the reporting date the Company has focussed on direct and confidential discussions with ECMR, EMRA and relevant Egyptian Government agencies to maximise the prospects of achieving a positive outcome on this dispute with ECMR. Commensurate with this the Company has obtained both international and local Egyptian preliminary legal briefings regarding the extent to which the Company may be entitled to claim in response to ECMR’s actions.
Whilst the legal investigative process is continuing, the Board considers that it has gained sufficient clarity on the situation to make the following observations and conclusions:
-
The Company is unlikely to be able to develop the Project or regain full control of TE’s Exploitation Licences.
-
ECMR has stated that it is unwilling to further consider the 400K Plan.
-
ECMR has accused Arrowhead (and therefore TE) of abandoning the Project.
-
Arrowhead strongly rejects ECMR’s allegations, denies it has abandoned the Project, and has reserved its rights (including the right to seek recourse under both Egyptian and International law).
-
ECMR has yet to respond directly to Arrowhead’s questions or to its invitation to meet and discuss these matters.
-
• ECMR has refused to acknowledge Arrowhead’s appointments to the TE Board; namely Mr Rosenstreich to replace its previous representative as Chairman and the appointment of a new Arrowhead representative to restore its representation to 2 directors on a Board of 4.
The emerging outlook, based on Arrowhead’s legal advice and its own observations, is that it is highly unlikely that Arrowhead will regain access to the Project or its other interests and assets in Egypt. Arrowhead considers that it will likely need to seek recourse under Egyptian and/or international law (including making a significant claim for financial compensation for the damage it has suffered). Arrowhead will, through its legal counsel, exercise its rights and pursue its claims vigorously. This may include seeking the support of a litigation funding group to assist it in doing so.
As a consequence of ECMR’s actions, the Company is assumed to no longer have control, as defined in Australian Accounting Standards, over its subsidiary TE and has therefore deconsolidated the results of TE from the Group.
As a result of ECMR’s unwillingness to engage with the Company, the Company suspended further funding into Egypt, which resulted in the loss of all accounting and administrative staff and functions in Egypt. The Company is assumed to also no longer have control, as defined in Australian Accounting Standards, over its subsidiary Nubian Resources JSC and has therefore deconsolidated the results of Nubian Resources JSC from the Group.

(g) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Arrowhead Limited and entities (including special purpose entities) controlled by Arrowhead Limited (its subsidiaries).
Control is achieved when the Company:
-
has power over the investee;
-
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
-
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist. All inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless costs cannot be recovered.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Specifically income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between:
-
The aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest; and
-
The previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any noncontrolling interests.
Refer to Note 2(d) and Note 31 for deconsolidation.
All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit and loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by the applicable AASBs). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under AASB 139, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.
(h) Interests in joint operations
The Group's interest in its joint operations is accounted for by recognising the Group's assets and liabilities from the joint operation, as well as expenses incurred by the Group and the Group's share of income earned from the joint operation, in the consolidated financial statements.
(i) Foreign currency translation
Both the functional and presentation currency of Arrowhead Limited and its Australian subsidiaries is Australian dollars ($AU). Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date.
All differences in the consolidated financial report are taken to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income with the exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. These are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those borrowings are also recognised in equity.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
The functional currency of the overseas subsidiaries Tantalum Egypt JSC, Nubian Resources JSC and Nubian Resources PLC is Egyptian pounds (EGP). Tantalum Egypt JSC and Nubian Resources JSC have been discontinued as of 31 March 2015, as disclosed in Note 2(d).
As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of overseas subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of Arrowhead Limited at the rate of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. The exchange differences arising on the retranslation are taken directly to a separate component of equity.
On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(j) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
(k) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables, which generally have 30 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount which represents fair value at that date less an allowance for any doubtful debts. An allowance of doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified.
(l) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of inventories are determined on a first-infirst-out basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Categories of inventory include spare parts and stores.
(m) Other financial assets
Other financial assets in the parent company represent investments in subsidiaries held at cost less any impairment.
(n) Property, plant and equipment
Leasehold improvements, buildings and plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses recognised.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:
Leasehold Improvements - over 2 to 5 years Buildings – over 20 years Plant and equipment - over 3 to 10 years
Impairment
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued used of the asset.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period the item is derecognised.
(o) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is recognised as exploration and evaluation assets, measured on the cost basis. The expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only 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 recoverable reserves.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
The Group assesses the stage of each mine under construction to determine when a mine moves into the pre-production stage. The criteria used to assess the start date are determined based on the unique nature of each mine construction project, such as the complexity of a plant and its location. The Group considers various relevant criteria to assess when the mine and the processing plant is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. At this time, any costs capitalised to ‘exploration and evaluation’ are reclassified to ‘mine properties’. Some of the criteria will include, but are not limited, to the following:
-
Availability of the plant;
-
Completion of a reasonable period of testing of the mine plant and equipment;
-
Ability to produce metal in saleable form (within specifications); and
-
Ability to sustain ongoing production of metal at commercial rates of production.
(p) Mine properties
When a mine construction project moves into the pre-production stage, any costs capitalised to ‘exploration and evaluation’ are reclassified to ‘mine properties’. During this pre-production stage, certain mine construction and commissioning costs continue to be capitalised to mine properties and offset any incidental revenue earned until such time as the project is operating in line with management’s expectation.
When a mine construction project moves into the production stage, the capitalisation of certain mine construction costs ceases and costs are either regarded as inventory or expensed, except for costs that qualify for capitalisation relating to mine asset additions or improvements, mine development or mineable reserve development. It is also at this point that depreciation / amortisation commences.
Mine properties are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortisation and any impairment losses. Amortisation is over the units of production of the economically recoverable reserves (that is, tonnes of ore).
(q) Recoverable amount of assets
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

33
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
(r) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and due to their short term nature they are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(s) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
(t) Loans and borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received.
After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs and any discount or premium on settlement.
(u) Contributed equity
Ordinary share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.
(v) Share-based payment transactions
The Group provides remuneration to employees (including directors) of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares ('equity-settled transactions').
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Arrowhead Limited ('market conditions').

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award ('vesting date').
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects - (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired, and
- (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the Group, will ultimately vest.
This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.
Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of modification.
Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share (see note 5).
(w) Leases
Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. All other leases are classified as finance leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
(x) Revenue
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue from the sale of alluvial tin is recognised when the goods are delivered and title has passed, at which time the following conditions are satisfied:
- the Group has received the provisional advance payment from the buyer for the goods; and
• the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods. Interest revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
(y) Income tax
In principle, deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the statement of financial position date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for the financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
-
except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
-
in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised:
-
except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
-
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(z) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ (FVTPL), ‘held-to-maturity’ investments, ‘available-for-sale’ (AFS) financial assets and ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:
- it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
-
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
-
it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
-
A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
-
such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
-
the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group's documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or
-
it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and AASB 139 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the ‘other gains and losses’ line item in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Fair value is determined in the manner described in note 29.
Loans and receivables
Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period of 60 days, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
When an AFS financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
In respect of AFS equity securities, impairment losses previously recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of investments revaluation reserve.
(aa) Other taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
-
where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
-
receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the Cash Flow statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(bb)Employee entitlements
Provision is made for the Company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees at balance date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year, together with entitlements arising from wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave, which will be settled within one year, have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Contributions are made by the entity to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred.
(cc) Derecognition of financial instruments
The derecognition of a financial instrument takes place when the Group no longer controls the contractual rights that comprise the financial instrument, which is normally the case when the instrument is sold, or all the cash flows attributable to the instrument are passed through to an independent third party.
(dd)Segment information
Operating segments have been identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the board of directors of the Company.
(ee) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of Australian Accounting Standards management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year, or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years.
Judgments made by management that have significant effects on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustments in the next year are disclosed, these relate to impairment of inter-company loans and exploration and evaluation expenditure.
The criteria used by management in determining the impairment is as follows:
-
Inter-company loans are impaired by the lending company to the extent that there is uncertainty about the future recoverability of such loans from the borrowing company. Reversal of all or part of prior period impairment losses may be approved by management once a borrowing company has a capacity to repay all or part of such intercompany loans, and
-
The ultimate recoupment of exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent upon successful development and commercial exploitation or alternatively the sale of the respective areas of interest at an amount at least equal to book value. Therefore exploration and evaluation expenditure is impaired until such time as the aforementioned can be determined, normally by way of a Feasibility Study or some other event. Reversal of prior period impairment losses may be approved by management once the capacity to exploit or sell has been positively determined.
-
The impairment of financial assets is accounted for by revaluing the financial asset to market value at the reporting date.
-
The Group assesses the stage of each mine under construction to determine when a mine moves into the preproduction stage. The criteria used to assess the start date are determined based on the unique nature of each mine construction project, such as the complexity of a plant and its location. The Group considers various relevant criteria to assess when the mine and the processing plant is substantially complete, ready for its intended use and operating in the manner intended by management. When a mine construction project moves into the preproduction stage, any costs capitalised to ‘exploration and evaluation’ are reclassified to ‘mine properties’.
-
The value of financial assets requires the directors to estimate future cash flows expected to arise and assess the going concern position of the Company.
Mine properties are amortised over the units of production of the economically recoverable reserves.
Control over subsidiaries – refer to note 2(d) re deconsolidation of subsidiaries.
Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events is reported.
(ff) Financial risk management policy
Details of the Group's financial risk management policy are set out in Note 29.
(gg) Compound financial instruments
The Group evaluates the terms of any financial instrument to determine whether it contains both a liability and an equity component. The separate components of a financial instrument that create a financial liability and grant an option to the holder of the instrument to convert it into an equity instrument are recognised separately on the statement of financial position.
(hh)Comparative figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year, including for the presentation of discontinued operations.

The ultimate recoupment of exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent upon successful development and commercial exploitation or alternatively the sale of the respective areas of interest at an amount at least equal to book value.
For the year ended 30 June 2015, evaluation expenditure on the Abu Dabbab project was capitalised at cost, until such time production commences and costs are transferred to ‘mine properties’. As at 31 March 2015, the Group recognised a loss of control over TE and therefore treated the subsidiary as a discontinued operation from 31 March 2015 (refer to Note 2(d)).
For the year ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014, there was no exploration expenditure on the Wadi Allaqi project.
For the year ended 30 June 2015, exploration expenditure in Eritrea in relation to the Group’s current Exploration Licences (Adobha and Gerasi South) of $7,197 (2014: $213,973) was impaired. Due to the reduction of exploration activities in Eritrea, the Group assessed the carrying value of the capitalised exploration expenditure in relation to the Adobha Exploration Licence and Gerasi South Exploration Licence and decided to fully impair the asset. The assessment led to the recognition of an impairment loss of $7,197, which has been recognised in profit or loss.
The Group received a letter from the Eritrean Ministry of Energy and Mines on 19 August 2015 stating that the Adobha Exploration Licence and the Gerasi South Exploration Licences had been terminated. This followed the Company’s unsuccessful efforts over the preceding 12 months to joint venture or sell these licences.

During the year, $Nil (2014: $745,421) of the net capitalised costs in relation to the Alluvial Tin Project were amortised based on production.
In 2014, the Group carried out a review of the recoverable amount of the Alluvial Tin Project and determined that based on the Group’s forecasts, the recoverable amount of the Alluvial Tin Project was significantly less than its carrying value. The Directors decided to fully impair the remaining balance of net capitalised costs of $969,711, which was recognised as an impairment expense in profit or loss. The Alluvial Tin Project ceased operations in September 2014 and forms part of discontinued operations as disclosed in Note 31.

As set out in Note 2(d) and 31, Arrowhead no longer controls either Tantalum Egypt JSC or Nubian Resources JSC.
20 INTERESTS IN JOINT OPERATIONS AND BUSINESS UNDERTAKINGS
At 30 June 2015, the Group is no longer a participant in any joint operations. At 30 June 2014, the Group was a participant in the following joint operations:

|---|---|
| - 50 - 50 - 50 - 50 - 50 - 50 - 50 - 50 - 50 |
The joint operations are not separate legal entities. They are contractual arrangements between the participants and are of the type where initially one party contributes tenements with the other party earning a specified percentage by funding exploration activities. The joint operations do not hold any assets and accordingly the Company's share of exploration expenditure is accounted for in accordance with the policy set out in Note 2.
The tenements are granted subject to an agreement with the Egyptian Government (EMRA) dated 21 June 2004 however the status of these tenements is in dispute with EMRA. Given the Group’s loss of control in Egypt the Company no longer intends to seek a resolution of the dispute with EMRA over the joint operations. No expenditure has been incurred or undertaken on the disputed tenements.

23 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS
Contingent Liabilities
The Group did not have any contingent liabilities as at Balance Date, other than as noted below;
(a) Former Director – J Starink
-
On 20 July 2015, the Company advised a Director, Mr Jon Starink, that the Board had formed the preliminary view that his employment should be summarily terminated.
-
Mr Starink was required to address a number of matters that informed the Board’s preliminary view and to show cause as to why his employment should not be summarily terminated.
-
Mr Starink did not respond to the show cause letter before he resigned. Instead he resigned as a director of the Company on 31 July 2015. He also claimed that non-payment of his salary for the months of May and June constituted a repudiation of his employment agreement, which repudiation he accepted. The Company denies having repudiated his employment agreement.
-
Mr Starink has threatened to commence legal action in respect of contractual and statutory entitlements and damages for breach of his employment agreement, wrongful dismissal and/or a breach of the general protection provisions under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) arising from the repudiation of his Employment Agreement. However, to date no proceedings have been issued.
-
The Company will vigorously defend any action brought by Mr Starink and may also seek to counter-claim against Mr Starink on the basis of matters raised by the Company on 20 July 2015 in its show cause letter to Mr Starink.
(b) Egyptian Entities
- Due to the facts and circumstances detailed in note 2(d) the Company does not have any reason to believe that there are any future liabilities arising from its interests in TE and NR.
(c) Eritrean Tenements
- Under Eritrean mining law, expenditure commitments entered into by a tenement holder with respect to a tenement are mandatory. Failure to expend funds in accordance with a commitment may result in a liability to the Eritrean government to the extent of the unexpended portion of the expenditure commitment, or forfeiture of the tenement/s. The Group has received a letter from the Eritrean Ministry of Energy and Mines (Mines Ministry) on 19 August 2015 stating that the Adobha Exploration Licence and the Gerasi South Exploration Licences have been terminated. The Company has been advised that the Eritrean Ministry of Energy and Mines will waive the unexpended portion of the expenditure commitments and there is no remaining liability in relation to the unexpended portion of the expenditure commitments. The directors are of the view that the Consolidated Entity has no further obligations in relation to these licences. The Group has lodged the required documents with the Mines Ministry and expects confirmation to follow. As at 30 June 2015, the Eritrean exploration licences were fully impaired.
Contingent Assets
During 2012, the Company executed a sale and purchase agreement with Stellar Resources Ltd whereby Stellar Resources Ltd acquired the Company’s 40% interest in the Heemskirk Tin Project for 43,528,743 shares in Stellar Resources Ltd and a royalty. The 43,528,743 shares in Stellar Resources Ltd were sold during 2013. Under the Minerals Royalty Deed dated 30 January 2012, the royalty receivable by the Company will be calculated as follows:
Net Realised Price (Tin Price) per tonne Royalty Percentage
Less than $25,000 Nil $25,000 - $30,000 1% plus 0.0002% for every $1 the Net Realised Price is over $25,000 $30,000 or more 2%
The Group did not have any other contingent assets as at Balance Date.

24 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Other than as noted below, no other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.
-
It is highly unlikely that Arrowhead will regain access to the Abu Dabbab Project or its other interests and assets in Egypt. Arrowhead considers that it will likely need to seek recourse under Egyptian and/or international law (including making a significant claim for financial compensation for the damage it has suffered). Arrowhead will, through its legal counsel, exercise its rights and pursue its claims vigorously.
-
The Company entered into agreements with creditors whereby creditors owed a total of $426,540 have been issued 142,500,000 ordinary shares in the Company in satisfaction of all amounts owing. Amounts owing at the balance date have been adjusted to reflect the amount ultimately settled in shares.
-
The Company entered into an agreement with Gandel Metals Pty Limited, an entity associated with Ian Gandel, whereby Gandel Metals Pty Limited will be issued 18,000,000 post consolidation ordinary shares in full satisfaction of an amount outstanding of $180,000 and will forgive all other amounts owing, which at 30 June 2015 totalled $3,437,291. This agreement was subject to shareholder approval, which was gained on 29 September 2015, and the raising of not less than $1.2 million in new equity. The repayment date of the loans from Gandel Metals Pty Limited was extended to 30 November 2015 to facilitate satisfaction of the conditions.
-
The Company entered into an agreement with Ventureworks JDK Pty Limited, an entity associated with John Kenny, whereby Ventureworks JDK will be issued 9,600,000 post consolidation ordinary shares in full satisfaction of an amount outstanding of $96,000 and will forgive all other amounts owing, which at 30 June 2015 totalled $30,000. This agreement was subject to shareholder approval, which was gained on 29 September 2015, and the raising of not less than $1.2 million in new equity.
-
The Company entered into a consultancy agreement with Mr Ayman Ayyash for the provision of consultancy services to facilitate and assist with future claims and pursuits in relation to the ECMR dispute.
-
Arrowhead entered into a mandate agreement with CPS Capital Group Pty Limited (CPS) whereby CPS will act as lead manager, broker and potential underwriter to Arrowhead’s proposed renounceable rights issue (Proposed Rights Issue) to raise $1,428,436 (before costs) at 1 cent per share. CPS also provided a loan facility of $100,000 for working capital. The loan funds were received on 25 August 2015.
-
The Group received a letter from the Eritrean Ministry of Energy and Mines on 19 August 2015 stating that the Adobha Exploration Licence and the Gerasi South Exploration Licences have been terminated. This follows unsuccessful efforts by the Company over the preceding 12 months to joint venture or sell the licences.
-
The Company’s shareholders approved a consolidation of its share capital on the basis of one new share for every 100 existing shares, a change of constitution and a change of name to Arrowhead Resources Limited on 29 September 2015.

29 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a) Financial risk management policy
-
The Group's management of financial risk is aimed at ensuring net cash flows are sufficient to:
-
meet all financial commitments as and when they fall due, and
-
maintain the capacity to fund its forecast project development and exploration strategies.
The Group continually monitors and tests its forecast financial position against these criteria.
The Group's principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Group's policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken.
The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments presently are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk, security risk and liquidity risk.
The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risk and assessments of market forecasts for interest rate, foreign exchange and commodity prices. Ageing analyses and monitoring of specific credit allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk. Liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts.
(b) Interest rate risk
The following table sets out the carrying amount of the financial instruments exposed to interest rate risk:

(d) 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 counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.
The Group does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure.
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.
(e) Liquidity risk
The Group's liquidity position is managed to ensure sufficient funds are available to meet our financial commitments in a timely and cost-effective manner.
As referred to in the Going Concern note (Note 2(c)), the Group’s liquidity position will depend on several factors, including, but not limited to the ability of the company to complete the Proposed Rights Issue to fund the search for new projects and to provide additional working capital.
The Company continually reviews its liquidity position including cash flow forecast to determine the forecast liquidity position and maintain appropriate liquidity levels.
In addition to commitment disclosure in Note 21, the table below reflects the contractual maturity of financial instruments as at 30 June. Cash flows for financial instruments are presented on an undiscounted basis.

(f) Capital management policy
The Board's policy is to preserve its capital base as much as possible so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Short-term funding for the Group has been obtained via loan funding from Gandel Metals Pty Limited (a related entity of former director, Ian Gandel) to fund operations and commitments.
As referred to in the Going Concern note (Note 2(c)), a further capital raising of $1,428,000, before costs, is proposed to be completed by November 2015 to fund the Group’s operations.
There were no changes in the Group's approach to capital management during the year, other than the financing previously available from Gandel Metals Pty Limited is no longer available. The Group relied upon equity to finance its capital management.
Neither the Company nor any of its controlled entities are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
(g) Foreign Exchange Risk
As a result of the discontinuance of operations in Egypt, the Group's statement of financial position is no longer significantly affected by movements in the EGP/AUD exchange rates. The Group also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from sales or purchases by an operating entity in currencies other than the functional currency. At 30 June 2015, the Group had the following exposure to foreign currency:

The following sensitivity is based on the most significant foreign currency risk exposures in existence at the statement of financial position date, which is the Australian Dollar moving against the US Dollar (USD). Previously the Group reported sensitivity to its exposure to movements in the exchange rate between the Australian Dollar and the Egyptian Pound, however as the Egyptian operations were discontinued effective 31 March 2015, this exposure no longer exists.
At 30 June 2015, had the Australian Dollar moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit and equity would have been affected as follows:

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Arrowhead Resources Limited (formerly Gippsland Limited)
Tel: +61 8 9365 7000 Fax: +61 8 9365 7001 www.deloitte.com.au
Report on the Financial Report
We have been engaged to audit the accompanying financial report of Arrowhead Resources Limited (formerly Gippsland Limited), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows and the statement of changes in equity for the year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity, comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year as set out on pages 13 to 52.
Directors’ Responsibility 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 Note 2(e), the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on conducting the audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Because of the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph, however, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.
Auditor’s Independence Declaration
In conducting our audit, 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 Arrowhead Resources Limited (formerly Gippsland Limited), would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion
As disclosed in Note 2(b) to the financial report, the directors have not been able to obtain all accounting and statutory records of its Egyptian subsidiaries (Tantalum Egypt JSC and Nubian Resources JSC), in relation to transactions and balances for the period commencing 1 July 2014 through to the 31 March 2015. Therefore, the directors have prepared the financial report to the best of their knowledge based on the limited information available to them at the time of preparation of the financial report. As the available accounting and statutory records are not adequate to permit the application of necessary audit procedures, we are unable to obtain all information and explanations to form an opinion on the composition of the loss from discontinued operations recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the cash inflows and outflows relating to these subsidiaries reflected in the statement of cash flows for the year ended 30 June 2015.

Disclaimer of Opinion
Because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on whether the financial report of Arrowhead Resources Limited (formerly Gippsland Limited):
-
(a) is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2015 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and
-
(b) the consolidated financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 2(e).
Material Uncertainty Regarding Continuation as a Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 2(c) in the financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity has incurred net losses of $12,608,813 (2014: $5,849,058) and experienced net cash outflows from operations of $1,470,482 (2014: $2,387,941) and net cash outflows from investing activities of $1,855,136 (2014: $481,441) for the year ended 30 June 2015. These conditions, along with other matters set out in Note 2(c), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the company and the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as going concerns and therefore, whether they will realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
Due to the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph, we have not been given all information and explanations necessary for the conduct of the audit; and we are unable to determine whether the Company has kept:
-
(a) financial records sufficient to enable the financial report to be prepared and audited; and
-
(b) other records and registers as required by the Corporations Act 2001.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 6 to 10 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2015. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Opinion
In our opinion the Remuneration Report of Arrowhead Resources Limited (formerly Gippsland Limited) for the year ended 30 June 2015, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
