Directors Remuneration Report- Audited

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of the Company.

No director since the date of formation of the Company has received any cash remuneration either before or after the Company listed.

Remuneration Policy .

The remuneration policy of Torque has been designed to align Director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual basis in line with market rates. The further tailoring of goals between shareholders and the Directors and executives is achieved through the issue of equity to the directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interest.

The Board of the Company believes the remuneration policy is below accepted industry standards but appropriate and effective while the Company is in the initial phase of being listed on a Stock Exchange.

The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the Directors and executives was developed by the Directors and approved by the Board.

The Board recognises that the remuneration rates are below competitive remuneration rates of local and international trends among comparative companies and industry generally.

The Group is exploration and development focussed, and therefore speculative in terms of performance. The Directors and executives are paid below market rates associated with individuals in similar positions, within the same industry.

Options and performance incentives will be issued in the event that the entity moves from an exploration entity to a producing entity, and key performance indicators such as profits and market value can be used as measurements for assessing Board and executive performance.

All remuneration paid to Directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed or carried forward on the balance sheet for time that is attributable to exploration and evaluation.

The Board policy is to remunerate, where possible, non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Managing Directors, in consultation with independent advisors as necessary, determine payments to the non-executive Directors and review their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for non-executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, remuneration of non-executive directors at this present time are below comparable market expectations.

Employment Contracts of Directors and Senior Executives.

The employment conditions of the Managing Director is formalised in a contract of employment. The contract commenced on 21 August 2018 and may be terminated at any time by the Company giving the Managing Director 6 months’ notice. The contract provided Mr. Finch with a commencement annual salary of $240,000 with an annual review on 1 October upon the Company being admitted to the ASX. The contract has standard termination clauses. In the event of termination, the fixed proportion of remuneration is payable up until the date of the termination. On 11 May 2020 the employment contract was varied by reducing the annual salary to $150,000. After year end, by mutual consent the $150,000 remuneration was deferred and temporarily replaced with a a range between $50,000 to $75,000 a year. Until such time that the Company raises additional capital at which time the difference will be paid

After year end, by mutual consent the remuneration was deferred and temporarily replaced with to a range between $10,000 to $15,000 a year until such time as the Company raised additional capital at which time the difference will be paid.

The employment contracts stipulate a six-month resignation period. The Company may terminate an employment contract without cause by providing six months written notice or making payment in lieu of notice, based on the individual’s annuals alary component. Termination payments are not payable on resignation or under the circumstances of unsatisfactory performance

Principal Activities

Torque Metals Limited was incorporated on 16 August 2017 as an Australian private company for the purpose of being listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”). On 5 January 2018, it was converted to a public unlisted company. The Company lodged a Prospectus with A.S.I.C. on 18 October 2018 but prevailing market circumstances, at that time, resulted in the Prospectus being formally withdrawn 11 December 2018. Since that date the Company has continued its mineral exploration programme awaiting a favourable upturn in the market. On 3 June 2020 Torque lodged a Prospectus with the intention of listing on the Sydney Stock Exchange.

Review of Operations Projects.

The Paris Gold Project.

During the year Torque negotiated an exclusive option to purchase the Paris / HHH gold mining centre from Austral Pacific Py. Ltd. .(Austral). The project, which comprises 9 mining leases and two prospecting leases aggregating ~68km[2] , is located approximately 100Km South Southeast of Kalgooorlie in Western Australia. (“The Paris Project”), The project lies within the highly prospective Parker and Kambalda geological domains which are noted for high grade gold occurrences. The Kambalda Domain is also a world class Nickel Province.

Option Conditions

The exercise of the Option and the ensuing Tenement Sales Agreement is conditional upon Torque being granted listing on an accredited Stock Exchange.

  1. Consideration

The consideration for the sale and purchase of the Tenements is the:

  • a. Payment by Torque to Austral of the Option Fee of $100,000.

8

  • b. Payment of $650,000, less the Option Fee, within 5 business days of Torque listing on an accredited stock exchange;

  • c. The issue of $1,200,000 in ordinary fully paid shares in Torque within 5 business days of Torque listing on an accredited stock exchange;

2. Milestone / Performance Payments

Torque will pay Austral the following amounts upon successfully reporting an additional resource, in any JORC category:

  • a. The first 50,000 ozs - $100,000 :- 50% in cash and 50% in shares, calculated at the previous 7 day VWAP:

  • b. Total 100,000 ozs - $200,000 :- 50% in cash and 50% in shares, calculated at the previous 7 day VWAP;

  • c. Total 200,000 ozs - $400,000 :- 50% in cash and 50% in shares, calculated at the previous 7 day VWAP;

  • a. The Royalty commences after the first 2,500 ozs of gold produced;

  • b. A 1.75% Net Smelter Royalty on gold and an agreed industry recognized royalty on all valuable minerals if the Net Smelter Royalty is not applicable. In total up to $2.0 million;

  • c. Torque shall have the right at any time to purchase the royalty from Austral.

  • Pro Rata reimbursement of rentals and rates Torque and Austral will agree upon any final adjustment to rentals and rates, if for any reason, the Tenement Sales Agreement is extended beyond its anticipated period.

A February 2019 scoping study (BMGS & Minecomp) confirms potential for ongoing profitable operations. The study used a base case gold price of AUD$1,650. There is a clear opportunity to increase gold inventory via brownfields exploration, around and below the existing Paris and HHH pits as well as from walk up drill targets elsewhere on the leases.

As part of Torque’s due diligence programme, the Company interrogated the large, tier 1 historical database from previous work carried out by Western Mining, Goldfields Ltd. and Austral.

The Bullfinch Project

Torque controls approximately 600 Km2 of highly prospective, contiguous title within the Bullfinch Goldfield, centered 34kms north of the mining town of Southern Cross in Western Australia.

During the year the Company carried out interrogation of its detailed data base with a view to identifying suitable gold targets for a scout drilling programme and a bulk sampling exercise.

An early programme of bulk sampling is planned, in order to better define the grade, attitude and distribution of the wide spread gold mineralization. A possible benefit of such sampling is to create an ongoing income stream from gold sales. Under certain circumstances, a total of up to 50,000 tonnes of material can be extracted for bulk sampling purposes without the necessity for a granted mining lease. There are two, under capacity, processing plants within 80Km of the Bullfinch Project area. A desk top study was undertaken which indicated that significant cash income may be generated as a result of implementing such a programme.

9

Director’s Report 30 June 2020

Torque Metals Limited

A study of applicable, detailed, geophysical techniques, including sub audio magnetics (SAM) was undertaken to ascertain the optimum technique to assist in identifying the location of gold lodes beneath shallow cover. The Company also acquired additional, detailed aeromagnetic / radiometric data which was analysed for the purpose of identifying additional scout drilling targets.

Disucssions with third parties, including drilling and metalurgical contractors, commenced as planning for upcoming field work.

Tribal Mining Tenement Acquisition (Bullfinch)

The Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Tribal to wholly acquire the Tribal Tenement (EL77/2607) in consideration for $50,000 cash and 10% of any gold recovered from the Tribal Tenement during an approved bulk sampling programme.

Jindalee Joint Venture

Torque entered into a Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement on 4 May 2020 with Jindalee Resources Limited.

  1. Key Terms

  2. a) Torque to pay Jindalee $10,000 for past expenditure on the Tenements.

  3. b) Jindalee grants the Company a sole and exclusive right to enter upon the Jindalee Tenements during the farmin period (being 3 years after the date the Company obtains consent from the Minister with respect to the transfer of the Jindalee Tenements from Jindalee) in order to carry out exploration.

  4. c) The Company to earn an 80% interest in the Jindalee Tenements by spending $200,000 on the Jindalee Tenements within three years of execution of the Jindalee JV Agreement, with a minimum of $50,000 to be spent within 12 months of execution of the Jindalee JV Agreement

Risks

There are specific risks associated with the activities of the Company and general risks which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified below, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the future financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Company’s shares.

Exploration and Development

Mineral exploration and development is a speculative and high-risk undertaking that may be impeded by circumstances and factors beyond the control of the Company. Success in this process involves, among other things:

  • discovery and proving-up, or acquiring, an economically recoverable resource or reserve;

  • access to adequate capital throughout the acquisition/discovery and project development phases;

  • securing and maintaining title to mineral exploration projects;

  • obtaining required development consents and approvals necessary for the acquisition, mineral exploration, development and production phases; and

10

Director’s Report 30 June 2020

Torque Metals Limited

  • accessing the necessary experienced operational staff, the applicable financial management and

  • recruiting skilled contractors, consultants and employees.

There can be no assurance that exploration on the Projects, or any other exploration properties that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic mineral resource. Even if an apparently viable mineral resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.

Grant of Future Authorisation to Explore and Mine

If the Company discovers an economically viable mineral deposit that it then intends to develop, it will, among other things, require various approvals, licences and permits before it will be able to mine the deposit. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain all required approvals, licences and permits. To the extent that required authorisations are not obtained or are delayed, the Company’s operational and financial performance may be materially adversely affected.

Land Access

There is a substantial level of regulation and restriction on the ability of exploration and mining companies to have access to land in Australia. Negotiations with both Native Title and land owners/occupiers are generally required before the Company can access land for exploration or mining activities. Inability to access, or delays experienced in accessing, the land may impact on the Company’s activities.

The effect of present laws in respect of Native Title that apply in Australia is that the Tenements and Tenement applications may be affected by Native Title claims or procedures. This may prevent or delay the granting of exploration and mining tenements, or affect the ability of the Company to explore, develop and commercialise the resources on the Tenements. The Company may incur significant expenses to negotiate and resolve any Native Title issues, including compensation arrangements reached in settling Native Title claims lodged over any of the Tenements held or acquired by the Company.

The Tenements are subject to the provisions of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984 (Cth) and the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA). Accordingly, any destruction or harming of such sites and artefacts may result in the Company incurring significant fines and court injunctions, which may adversely impact on exploration and mining activities.

Environment

The Company’s proposed operations will be subject to State and Commonwealth laws and regulations relating to the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s proposed operations are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. Such impact may give rise to substantial costs for environmental rehabilitation, damage and losses.

The potential environmental impacts of the Company’s proposed operations and any future projects could be expected to require statutory approvals to be obtained by the Company. There is no guarantee that such approvals would be granted and failure to obtain any environmental approvals that may be required from relevant government or regulatory authorities may impede or prevent the Company from undertaking its future operations.

Although it is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including in compliance in all material respects with relevant environmental laws, if such laws are breached, the Company could be required to cease its operations and/or incur significant liabilities.

Director’s Report 30 June 2020

Torque Metals Limited

Resource and Reserve Estimates

Whilst the Company intends to undertake exploration activities with the aim of upgrading existing resources or defining new resources, no assurances can be given that the exploration will result in the determination of a resource. Even if a resource is identified, no assurance can be provided that this can be economically extracted.

Resource and reserve estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when initially calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource and reserve estimates are imprecise and depend, to some extent, on interpretation which may prove to be inaccurate.

Corporate

The Company raised a total of $462,850 via a placement to professional and sophisticated investors of 6,908,209 shares at an issue price of $0.067 per share.

Meeting of Directors

The number of directors' meetings held and conducted during the financial year that each director held office during the financial year and the number of meetings attended by each director is:

Directors Meetings
Director Number Eligible Number Attended
I. D. Finch 10 10
N.W. McKay 10 10
A.L. Lofthouse 1 1
T.H. Chang 9 9

The Company does not have a formally constituted audit and risk committee or remuneration and nomination committee as the Board considers that the Company’s size and type of operation do not warrant the formation of such committees

Likely developments and expected results

Likely developments in the operations of the Company and the expected results of those operations in future financial periods have not been included in this report as the inclusion of such information is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Company.

Environmental Issues

The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulations under a law of the Commonwealth or state or territory of Australia.

Dividends

No amounts have been paid or declared by way of dividend shares since the date of incorporation

Options

No options over issued shares or interests in the Company were granted during the Year.

Indemnification and insurance of directors and officers

The Company has entered into Deeds of Indemnification with the directors and officers of the Company. .

The Company has insurance policies in place for Directors and Officers insurance.

Proceedings on behalf of the Company

No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company or intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or any part of those proceedings.

Notes to the financial statements for the Year 30 June 2020

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Torque Metals Limited (the Company or Torque). Torque Metals Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 29 September 2020 by the Directors of the Company.

Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The Company is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

Australian Accounting Standards set out in accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

These financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities

Going Concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company incurred a net loss of $221,734 (2019: $387,787) and experienced net cash outflows from operations of $150,231 (2019: $125,592). The Company has liabilities of $283,770 (2019: $262,698) and cash on hand of $2,056(2019: $24,109).

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of the fundraising under a prospectus yet to be issued. This requirement gives rise to a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore that it will be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amount stated in the financial report.

The directors believe that the Company will continue as a going concern for the following reasons:

  • Refer to Note 20. Events After the Reporting Period and Directors Report Page 13

  • The Company will finalise its current capital raising of up to $900,000 (before costs);

  • The Company plans to undertake a further capital raising of up to $2.2 M (before costs);

  • The significant borrowings that the Company has are unsecured loans with the Directors of the Company and Unsecured Convertible Notes with their associates.

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 ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.

Financial Statements 30 June 2020

Torque Metals Limited

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

(a) Exploration, Evaluation and Development Expenditure

Costs incurred during exploration and evaluations relating to an area of interest are accumulated. Costs are carried forward to the extent they are expected to be recouped through successful development, or by sale, or where exploration and evaluation activities have not yet reached a stage to allow a reasonable assessment regarding the existence of economically recoverable reserves. In these instances the entity must have rights of tenure to the area of interest and must be continuing to undertake exploration operations in the area.

Accumulated costs carried forward in respect of an area of interest that is abandoned are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest will be amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to capitalise costs in relation to that area of interest.

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the project from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been estimated of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis .

(b) Financial Instruments Financial Assets

Initial Recognition and Measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss.

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient, the Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs.

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.

The Company’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term.

27

Financial Statements 30 June 2020

Torque Metals Limited

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

This category includes listed equity investments which the Group had not irrevocably elected to classify at fair value through OCI. Dividends on listed equity investments are also recognised as other income in the statement of profit or loss when the right of payment has been established.

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position) when:

  • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

  • The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and

either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

The Company considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Company may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Company. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows

Financial Liabilities

Initial Recognition and Measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payable and convertible notes. The accounting policy on convertible notes are at (q).

(c) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flow, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short term, high liquid investments with original maturities of three (3) months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and bank overdrafts

(d) Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowances for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is sued when there is objective evidence that the Company will not

28

Financial Statements 30 June 2020

Torque Metals Limited

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter into bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivables is impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The amount of impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within impairment losses – financial assets. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance has been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against impairment losses – financial assets in the statement of comprehensive income.

(e) Revenue and Other Income

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(f) I mpairment of Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other standard.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives

(g) Trade and other payables

Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Company. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an expense on an accrued basis.

(h) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

Financial Statements 30 June 2020

Torque Metals Limited

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

(i) Goods and service tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(j) Income tax

The income tax expense/ (benefit) for the year comprises current income tax expense/ (benefit) and deferred tax expenses/ (benefit). Current and deferred income tax expenses/(benefit) is charge or credited directly to other comprehensive income instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to other comprehensive income.

Current tax

Current income tax expense charge to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date.

Current tax liabilities/ (assets) are therefore at the amounts expected to be paid to/ (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur.

Deferred tax

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax assets and deferred tax liability during the Period as well as unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of asset and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

(k) Share Based Payments

The Company operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the good or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is shown in the option reserve.

The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using a Black–Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

(l) Contributed equity

Ordinary issued share capital is recognised at fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of the ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction in share proceeds received.

(m) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net earnings attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for an bonus element. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net earnings attributable to members, adjusted for costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends; the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that would have been recognised as expenses; and other nondiscretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

(n) Interest in Joint Operations

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control

When the Company undertakes its activities under joint operations, the Company as a joint operator recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation:

  • its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;

  • its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;

  • its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;

  • its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and

  • its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.

The Company accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the AASBs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

When the Company transacts with a joint operation in which the Company is a joint operator (such as a sale or contribution of assets), the Company is considered to be conducting the transaction with the other parties to the joint operation, and gains and losses resulting from the transactions are recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements only to the extent of other parties' interests in the joint operation.

When the Company transacts with a joint operation in which the Company is a joint operator (such as a purchase of assets), the Company does not recognise its share of the gains and losses until it resells those assets to a third party

(o) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group.

Key Judgements –Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current. These costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at balance sheet date reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves, refer to the accounting policy stated in note 1(a).

Key Judgements -Share based payment transactions

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Key Judgments–Environmental issues

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the company’s development and its current environmental impact the directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate

Key Estimate –Taxation

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, are based on the best estimates of directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the company as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors’ best estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office.

(p) Fair value measurements

The Group measures and recognises the asset, ‘Financial assets held for trading’ at fair value on a

32

recurring basis after initial recognition.

The Group does not subsequently measure any liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. (i) Fair Value Hierarchy

AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Measurements based on quoted
prices (unadjusted) in active
markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the entity can
access at the measurement date
Measurements based on inputs
other than quoted prices
included in Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or
liability, either directly or
indirectly.
Measurements
based
on
unobservable inputs for the asset
or liability.

The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3.

(ii) Valuation techniques

The Company selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation technique selected by the Company is the Market approach whereby valuation techniques use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities. When selecting a valuation technique, the Company gives priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are developed using the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable. The following table provides the fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured and recognised on a recurring basis after initial recognition and their categorisation within the fair value hierarchy:

(q) Convertible Notes

The component parts of convertible loan notes issued by the Company are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. A conversion option that will be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Consolidated Entity’s own equity instruments is an equity instrument. Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible loan notes are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are recognised directly in equity. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component and are amortised over the lives of the convertible loan notes using the effective interest method. If the embedded derivative is separated from its host contract (because it is not closely related to the host), then it must be accounted for as if it were a standalone derivative. The embedded derivative should be recognised in the statement of

financial position at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss as they arise, unless it is designated as an effective hedging instrument in a cash flow or a net investment hedge.

(r) New, revised or amending accounting standards and interpretations adopted .The Company has considered the implications of new or amended Accounting Standards which have become applicable for the current financial reporting period. The Group had to change its accounting policies and make adjustments as a result of adopting the following Standard:

AASB 16: Leases

Changes in Accounting Policies

This note describes the nature and effect of the adoption of AASB 16: Leases on the Group’s financial statements and discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 July 2019, where they are different to those applied in prior periods.

  • a. Leases

The Company as lessee

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses if the contract contains or is a lease. If there is a lease present, a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability are recognised by the Company where the Company is a lessee. However, all contracts that are classified as short-term leases (i.e., a lease with a remaining lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Initially the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments still to be paid at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are as follows:

  • fixed lease payments less any lease incentives;

  • variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;

  • the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

  • the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options;

  • lease payments under extension options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and

  • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease.

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs. The subsequent measurement of the right-of-use assets is at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset, whichever is the shortest.

Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group anticipates to exercise a purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset.

Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group anticipates to exercise a purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset.

The Company as lessor

Upon entering into each contract as a lessor, the Company assesses if the lease is finance or operating lease.

34

Financial Statements 30 June 2020

Torque Metals Limited

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

A contract is classified as a finance lease when the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases not within this definition are classified as operating leases.

Rental income received from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the specific lease.

Initial direct costs incurred in entering into an operating lease (for example, legal cost, costs to set up equipment) are included in the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Rental income due under finance leases are recognised as receivables at the amount of the Group’s net investment in the leases.

When a contract is determined to include lease and non-lease components, the Group applies AASB 15 to allocate the consideration under the contract to each component.

b. Initial Application of AASB 16: Leases

The Company has adopted AASB 16: Leases retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying AASB 16 recognised at 1 July 2019. In accordance with AASB 16 the comparatives for the 2018 reporting period have not been restated.

Based on the assessment by the Group, it was determined there was no impact on the Company. As such, the Company has not recognised a lease liability and right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term and low-value leases) recognised as operating leases under AASB 117: Leases where the Group is the lessee.

There has been no significant change from prior year treatment for leases where the Company is a lessor.

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, where applicable. The Company's incremental borrowing rate as at 1 July 2019 was used to discount the lease payments.

The right-of-use assets, where applicable for the remaining leases have been measured and recognised in the statement of financial position as at 1 July 2019 by taking into consideration the lease liability and the prepaid and accrued lease payments previously recognised as at 1 July 2019 (that are related to the lease).

15 Financial Risk Management

The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, and cash

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the oversight and management of the Company’s exposure to a variety of financial risks (including fair value interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk).

The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company.

Interest rate risks

The Company’s exposure to market interest rates relates to cash deposits held at variable rates. The Board constantly analyses its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions

Credit risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is the carrying amount (net of provision of doubtful debts) of those assets as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and notes to the financial statements. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.

Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the board. The Financial Risk Management (Cont’d)

board’s policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with counterparties with a Standard & Poor’s rating of at least A+.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income 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

Notes to the financial statements for the Year 30 June 2019

1. General Information

The financial statements and notes thereto represent those of Torque Metals Limited (“Torque” or “the Company”) for the Year ended 30 June 2019 (“the Year”). .

Torque Metals Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Torque Metals Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing financial statements under the Australian Accounting Standards.

2. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

The directors have prepared the financial statements on the basis that Torque Metals Limited (“Torque” or “the Company”) is a non-reporting entity (as at balance sheet date) because there are no users dependent on a general purpose financial report. The financial report is therefore a special purpose financial report that has been prepared for the purpose of the preparation of an Independent Accountant’s Report for inclusion in a Prospectus and in order to meet the needs of The Corporations Act 2001.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements by the Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations and the disclosure requirements on AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows , AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and AASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures .

2.1 Basis of preparation

These special purpose financial statements, except for the cash flow information, have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected noncurrent assets and financial liabilities. The amounts presented in the financial statements have been rounded off to the nearest dollar unless stated otherwise.

2.2 Going Concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company incurred a net loss of $387,787 (2018: $39,301) and experienced net cash outflows from operations of $125,592 ($21,327 for the period ended 30 June 2018). The Company has liabilities of $262,698 (2018: $162,431) and cash on hand of $24,109(2018 $299,790).

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of the fundraising under a prospectus yet to be issued. This requirement gives rise to a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore that it will be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amount stated in the financial report.

17

Financial Statements 30 June 2019

Torque Metals Limited

The directors believe that the Company will continue as a going concern for the following reasons:

  • The Company plans to undertake a capital raise under a prospectus to raise $5.5M (before costs);

  • The significant borrowings that the Company has are unsecured loans with the Directors of the Company and Unsecured Convertible Notes with their associates.

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 ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.

2.3 New and amended standards adopted by the Company

The Company has adopted all the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.

New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current year that are relevant to the Company include:

  • AASB 9 Financial Instruments and related amending Standards;

  • AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and related amending

  • Standards; and AASB 2016-5

Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments and related amending Standards

In the current year, the Company has applied AASB 9 Financial Instruments (as amended) and the related consequential amendments to other Accounting Standards that are effective for an annual period that begins on or after 1 January 2018. The transition provisions of AASB 9 allow an entity not to restate comparatives however there was no material impact on adoption of the standard.

Additionally, the Company adopted consequential amendments to AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

In summary AASB 9 introduced new requirements for:

• The classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities;

  • Impairment of financial assets; and General hedge accounting.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and related amending Standards

18

Financial Statements 30 June 2019

Torque Metals Limited

In the current year, the Company has applied AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (as amended) which is effective for an annual period that begins on or after 1 January 2018. AASB 15 introduced a 5-step approach to revenue recognition. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in AASB 15 to deal with specific scenarios.

There was no material impact on adoption of the standard and no adjustment made to current or prior period amounts.

2.4 Significant accounting polices Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements.

Income tax

The income tax expense/ (benefit) for the Period comprises current income tax expense/ (benefit) and deferred tax expenses/ (benefit). Current and deferred income tax expenses/(benefit) is charge or credited directly to other comprehensive income instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to other comprehensive income.

Current tax

Current income tax expense charge to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date.

Current tax liabilities/ (assets) are therefore at the amounts expected to be paid to/ (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur.

Deferred tax

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax assets and deferred tax liability during the Period as well as unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of asset and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at reporting date. Their

19

Financial Statements 30 June 2019

Torque Metals Limited

measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flow, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short term, high liquid investments with original maturities of three (3) months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and bank overdrafts

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowances for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is sued when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter into bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivables is impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The amount of impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within impairment losses – financial assets. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance has been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against impairment losses – financial assets in the statement of comprehensive income.

20

Financial Statements 30 June 2019

Torque Metals Limited

Trade and other payables

Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Company. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an expense on an accrued basis.

Goods and service tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

Contributed equity

Ordinary issued share capital is recognised at fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of the ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction in share proceeds received.

2.5 Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure costs are accumulated in respect of each separate area of interest.

Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where:

  • the right of tenure of the area of interest is current and they are expected to be recouped through sale or successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or

  • where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations, in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortisation of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.

These assets are considered for impairment on a six monthly basis, depending on the existence of impairment indicators including:

  • the period for which the Company 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;

21

Financial Statements 30 June 2019

Torque Metals Limited

  • substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned;

  • 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 company has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; and

  • sufficient data exists 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.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit/(loss) in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is then tested for impairment and the balance is then transferred to development.

Notes to the financial statements for the half year 31 December 2020

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

a) General Information

The financial statements and notes thereto represent those of Torque Metals Limited (“Torque” or “the Company”) for the Half Year ended 31 December 2020 (“the Half Year”).

Torque Metals Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Torque Metals Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing financial statements under the Australian Accounting Standards. Its shares are publicly traded on the Sydney Stock Exchange.

b) Statement of compliance

The interim consolidated financial statements are a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001and Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards IAS34: Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the group as in the full financial report. It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by Torque during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001and the SSX Listing Rules.

c) Basis of preparation

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period except for the impact of the standards and interpretations below in note 1(e). These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards. The financial statements are for the entity Torque Metals Limited The financial report has also been prepared on an historical cost basis, The financial report is presented in Australian Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency

d) Accounting standards that are mandatorily effective for the current reporting period

The Company has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for an annual accounting period that begins on or after 1 July 2020 .New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current year that are relevant to the Group include:

e) Significant accounting judgements and key estimates

The preparation of interim financial reports requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing this half-year report, the significant judgements made by

10

Financial Statements 31 December 2020

Torque Metals Limited

management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020.

Capitalised exploration costs carried forward

The future recoverability of capitalised exploration costs carried forward has been reviewed by the directors. They are dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Company decides to exploit the related lease/licence itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale. Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, sovereign risk, future technological changes, availability of funds, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised exploration expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, results and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.

In addition, exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised if activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable resources. To the extent it is determined in the future that this capitalised expenditure should be written off, results and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.

f) Going Concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company incurred a net loss of $305,640 (31 December 2019 $69,176) and experienced net cash inflows from operations of $429,303 (31 December 2019 inflow of $1,312). The Company has liabilities of $493,214 (30 June 2020 $283,770) and cash on hand of $431,359 (30 June 2020 $2,056).

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of the fundraising under a prospectus yet to be issued. This requirement gives rise to a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore that it will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amount stated in the financial report.

The directors believe that the Company will continue as a going concern for the following reasons:

The Company plans to undertake a capital raise on ASX under a prospectus to raise a minimum of $5 million with over acceptances of an additional $2 million (before costs).

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 ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report

To the Members of Torque Metals Limited

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Torque Metals Limited (“the Company”) which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other selected explanatory notes, and the directors’ declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Torque Metals Limited does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • a. Giving a true and fair view of the Torque Metals Limited financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of 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 that are relevant to our audit of the annual 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 review report.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report To the Members of Torque Metals Limited (Continued)

==> picture [73 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1(f) in the financial report, which indicates that the Entity incurred a net loss of $305,640 during the half year ended 31 December 2020. As stated in Note 1(f) , these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(f), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Torque Metals Limited are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
