Operations
During 2016 the project vendor undertook hand auger drilling of parts of the interior of Mannar Island adjacent to the known mineral resources* envelope (Figure 3) on a drill hole pattern of 800m line spacing and 50m hole spacing. During 2017 the vendor further advised they had begun infill drilling zones where significant heavy mineral sands concentrations were visually logged in the drill holes. The infill drilling is designed to close the drill hole pattern in areas of heavy mineral sand concentration down to 400m lines and 50m hole separations. Up to June 2017, 502 infill pattern holes had been drilled. Details of the drilling have been reported in the Titanium Sands quarterly reports. Samples from all of this drilling have been collected at 0.5m intervals and will eventually be submitted to specialist heavy mineral sand laboratories for analysis.

8. Dividends

9. Going Concern
For the year ended 30 June 2017 the company recorded a loss of $518,476 (2016: $1,025,993) and experienced net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $96,305 (2016: $236,230). At 30 June 2017, the company had total current liabilities of $894,496 (2016: $377,859) and cash of $3,948 (2016: $8,253).
The ability of the company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the future successful raising of necessary funding through debt or equity and the continued support of its creditors and shareholders.
These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Directors believe that the Company will continue as a going concern and be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the company is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business for the following reasons:
-
The Company successfully raised $300,000 by way of a sophisticated investor placement in July 2017.
-
The Company believe they can raise additional funding through debt or equity which is actively being pursued
-
The majority of creditors have provided confirmation that they will extend payment terms until such time as the Company has the ability to pay.
-
Remaining creditors are in discussion for repayment extensions and expected to be settled upon funding through a debt or equity event.
-
The Company is also currently discussing with the Company’s corporate advisors and largest shareholder in relation to raising additional funding
Should the company not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the company not continue as a going concern.
10. Future developments
The Company is proceeding with its acquisition of Srinel and is working towards finalising its notice of meeting to obtain the required shareholder approvals to complete the acquisition. The Company has been advised by ASX that it is required to recomply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules as if it were applying for admission to the Official List of the ASX.
12. Environment issues
The Company’s operations are not subject to significant environmental regulations under the law of the Commonwealth or of a State, or Territory.

The agreement stipulates that the Company will meet the full amount of any such liabilities, including costs and expenses. No indemnification has been paid with respect to the Company’s auditors.
14. Corporate governance

Where the Company has not followed best practice for any recommendation, explanation is given in the Corporate Governance Statement which is available on the Company’s website at http://titaniumsands.com.au/corporate-governance/.

Titanium Sands Limited (formerly Windimurra Vanadium Limited) Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2017
1. Reporting entity
This annual financial report includes the financial statements and notes of Titanium Sands Limited (formerly Windimurra Vanadium Limited (“the Company”). The Company is a for-profit entity primarily involved in exploration of mineral reserves and is domiciled in Australia. Its registered address is Level 24, 44 St George’s Terrace, Perth, Western Australia.
2. Basis of preparation
(a) Statement of compliance
The annual financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (‘AASBs’) (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001. The annual financial report complies with International financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board. The annual financial report was authorised for issue by the directors on 29 September 2017.
(b) Basis of measurement
The annual financial report has been prepared on the historical cost basis. The methods used to measure fair values are discussed further in note 4.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
(d) Going concern
For the year ended 30 June 2017 the company recorded a loss of $518,476 (2016: $1,025,993) and experienced net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $96,305 (2016: $236,230). At 30 June 2017, the company had total current liabilities of $894,496 (2016: $377,859) and cash of $3,948 (2016: $8,253).
The ability of the company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the future successful raising of necessary funding through debt or equity and the continued support of its creditors and shareholders.
These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Directors believe that the Company will continue as a going concern and be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the company is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business for the following reasons:
-
The Company successfully raised $300,000 by way of a sophisticated investor placement in July 2017.
-
The Company believe they can raise additional funding through debt or equity which is actively being pursued
-
The majority of creditors have provided confirmation that they will extend payment terms until such time as the company has the ability to pay.
-
Remaining creditors are in discussion for repayment extensions and expected to be settled upon funding through a debt or equity event.
-
The Company is also currently discussing with the Company’s corporate advisors and largest shareholder in relation to raising additional funding
Should the company not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the company not continue as a going concern.

3. Significant accounting policies
- The accounting policies of the Company are consistent with prior period. New standards applicable from 1 July 2016 have had no material effect on the Company.
(a) Financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments comprise, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables. Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.
A financial instrument is recognised if the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Company’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Company’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Accounting for finance income and expense is discussed in note 3(f).
Other non-derivative financial instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses
Share capital
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the Company, on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at reporting date.
(b) Operating lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in the income statement as an integral part of the total lease expense and spread over the lease term.
(c) Exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation costs, comprising net direct costs (including the costs of acquiring licences) and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure directly attributable to the exploration property, relating to current areas of interest are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss and comprehensive income.
Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and either:
-
(i) the exploration and evaluation costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest; or
-
(ii) activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or other wise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
20
Titanium Sands Limited (formerly Windimurra Vanadium Limited) Notes to the financial statements (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2017
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (c) Exploration and evaluation assets (continued)
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if one or more of the following facts and circumstances arise:
-
(i) the period for which the entity has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed;
-
(ii) substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned;
-
(iii) exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; and
-
(iv) sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.
In any such case, or similar cases, the entity shall perform an impairment test in accordance with AASB 136. Any impairment loss is recognised as an expense in accordance with AASB 136.
For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from intangible assets to mining property and development assets.
In the event that an area of interest is abandoned, accumulated costs carried forward are written off to the income statement in the year in which that assessment is made. Expenditure is not carried forward in respect of any area of interest, unless the Company’s right of tenure to that area of interest is current.
(d) Impairment
Financial assets
A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.
Financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis.
All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost the reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that are largely independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
21
Titanium Sands Limited (formerly Windimurra Vanadium Limited) Notes to the financial statements (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2017
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
(d) Impairment (continued)
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. 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.
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
(e)
Provisions
A provision is recognised in the statement of financial position when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. 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.
(f) Finance income and expenses
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested, gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and foreign currency gains that are recognised in profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method.
Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions, foreign currency losses, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and impairment losses recognised on financial assets, that are recognised in profit or loss. All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.
(g) Income tax
Income tax on the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is provided using the Statement of Financial Position liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
(h) Segment reporting
A segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged either in providing products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.
(i)
Goods and services tax
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.
(j) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
There has been no new and amended accounting standards adopted by the Company for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2016 or any prior periods.
AASB 2014-10 - Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture
This amending standard requires a full gain or loss to be recognised when a transaction involves a business (even if the business is not housed in a subsidiary), and a partial gain or loss to be recognised when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business (even if those assets are housed in a subsidiary).
Application date - Financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018
Expected Impact - No expected impact
AASB 2016-1 - Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Tax Losses
Clarifies four issues with respect to recognising deferred tax assets (DTAs) for unrealised tax losses:
-
If all other recognition criteria are met, DTAs must be recognised for the deductible temporary difference between the fair value and tax base on fixed rate debt instruments that are not deemed to be impaired.
-
Deductible temporary differences must be compared to taxable profits of the same type (e.g. capital or revenue profits) to determine whether there are sufficient taxable profits against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
When comparing deductible temporary differences against the amount of future taxable profits, the calculation of future taxable profits must exclude tax deductions resulting from the reversal of those deductible temporary differences.
AASB 2016-1 - Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Tax Losses (continued)
-
The estimate of future taxable profits can include recovery of certain assets at amounts more than their carrying amount if there is enough evidence that it is probable that the entity will recover the asset for more than its carrying amount. Examples would include:
-
Property measured using cost model for which an external valuation has been conducted
-
oFixed rate debt instruments held to maturity.

AASB 16 – Leases
AASB 16 eliminates the operating and finance lease classifications for lessees currently accounted for under AASB 117 Leases. It instead requires an entity to bring most leases onto its Statement of Financial Position in a similar way to how existing finance leases are treated under AASB 117. An entity will be required to recognise a lease liability and a right of use asset in its Statement of Financial Position for most leases.
There are some optional exemptions for leases with a period of 12 months or less and for low value leases.
Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from AASB 117.

(k) Comparative Figures
When received by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
4. Critical accounting estimates and judgement
- Recoverability of Cuprum Loan
The Directors have made an assessment of the recoverability of the loan and believe it to be recoverable on the basis that the Srinel Acquisition will proceed in the near future. Further consideration is also taken into account to determine whether there is objective evidence that the amount is impaired by assessing the underlying assets held by Srinel being the Mannar Island tenements. Based on the progress of the project and the positive commodity prices of Mineral Sands, the Directors are of the opinion that the loan receivable is recoverable at balance date. In the event the acquisition does not proceed and the loan becomes repayable, the Company would seek repayment of the loan in accordance with the Loan Agreement. In the event that the loan becomes payable, the Company has the right in its absolute discretion to require Cuprum to grant security in favour of TSL (see further details of the loan under note 10).
- Recoverability of Other Asset- Srinel Option
The Srinel Option is carried at cost of $599,149 as at 30 June 2017. Srinel option relates to consideration paid to purchase 100% shares in Srinel (see details in note 6). On completion of the acquisition the purchase will be accounted for as an asset acquisition whereby the company is essentially acquiring the Exploration asset being the Mannar Island tenements. Management has made an assessment of the recoverability of the Srinel option which is based on the progress and completion of the acquisition of Srinel Holdings Limited. The Directors expect to complete the acquisition in the next 12 months. Other factors are also considered to determine whether there are other objective evidence to suggest that the Manner Island tenements are impaired. Given the progress of the Mannar Island project to date and the positive commodity prices of Mineral Sands, the Directors are of the opinion that the Srinel Option is recoverable at balance date.

For the year ended 30 June 2017
5. Financial risk management Overview
The Company has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:
-
credit risk
-
liquidity risk
-
market risk.
This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, its objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout this annual financial report. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework.
Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers as cash and cash equivalent.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company holds cash and cash equivalents with reputable Australian banks.
Trade and other receivables
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
The Company continually monitors its cash flow requirements. Typically the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 90 days, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, affect the Company’s financial performance or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises as a result of the fluctuations in variable interest rates.
Capital management
Capital is defined as the share capital of the Company. The Board ’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to Directors and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in interest rates.
At reporting date, if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s net revenue would increase by $20 and decrease by $20 respectively (2016: $41).

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the members of Titanium Sands Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Titanium Sands Limited (the Company), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of Titanium Sands Limited, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 2(d) in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
