DAVENPORT RESOURCES LIMITED
Chairman’s letter
Dear Shareholders,
It gives me great pleasure to address you in this, Davenport Resources’ first annual report as a publicly listed company.
Following much hard work by our executive team and advisers, Davenport Resources began trading on the Australian Securities Exchange on 20 January 2017, having raised $5.11 million through an initial public offering.
This was an achievement worth celebrating. The ultimate goal, however, is developing Davenport into a potash producer of global significance.
The focus for the Company, as you will be aware, is a portfolio of exploration and mining licences covering more than 650km[2] in the South Harz basin in central Germany, a part of the world that is considered the birthplace of potash mining.
The South Harz basin has produced more than 180 million tonnes of potash, as K2O, historically and at one time accounted for a large proportion of global supply of the crop fertiliser.
After the reunification of Germany in the early 1990s, the region suffered considerable retraction and now hosts only one mine. But it remains highly prospective for premium Potash and the provincial government of Thüringen is supportive of efforts by Davenport to reinvigorate what was once a thriving industry.
To properly oversee exploration and development on the South Harz licences, Davenport has established a European-based technical team with a wealth of potash experience. The technical team includes NonExecutive Director Chris Gilchrist, who has run major potash mining operations, managed feasibility studies on potash projects and worked extensively in the potash industry and Project Director, Jason Wilkinson, who has managed exploration and feasibility studies for significant potash projects.
Davenport’s rationale for focusing on potash relates to the role the commodity will play in helping to feed the world’s growing population. Potash’s ability to vastly improve crop yields will be vital as demand for food rises and the amount of arable land available worldwide falls. The combination of these factors is forecast to result in the global potash market growing by as much as 3% per annum. There is an expectation that the supply-side response will ensure potash prices remain soft, at least in the short-term. But this view fails to take into account that many of the world’s potash mines have been operating for decades and capacity will come out of the market over time.
In addition to our main asset, the South Harz Project, we also have a promising Copper/Gold project, Southern Cross Bore, which shows some good early-stage indicators for mineralisation.
In finishing, I would like to thank you, the shareholders, for all your support in Davenport’s early days as a listed company. I urge you to maintain it as we look to begin drilling in the South Harz basin and build a meaningful German potash business.
Yours Sincerely,

Review of activities
Financial year 2017 has been one of significant transformation for Davenport Resources Limited (Davenport or the Company). In September 2016, shareholders approved an Initial Public Offering and ASX listing and at the same time voted in favour of Davenport acquiring East Exploration Pty Ltd and its German subsidiary East Exploration GmbH (EEGmbH) the owner of two large potash Exploration Licences in the German state of Thüringen.
In January 2017, Davenport completed its Initial Public Offering raising $5.1 million, acquired East Exploration Pty Ltd and on 20 January 2017 commenced trading on the ASX.
The German potash licences, Küllstedt and Gräfentonna (Fig 1) cover approximately 450 km[2] within the South Harz potash basin, a region of historic potash production in central Germany.
==> picture [234 x 281] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 1 Location of Davenport projects
Following the IPO, Davenport commenced the process for drilling approval and undertook further evaluation of historic exploration data on the licences.
EE GmbH had previously estimated an Exploration Target of between 4,055 million tonnes and 5,141 million tonnes with a grade ranging between 7.2% K2O and 25% K2O on the Küllstedt licence ( ASX Announcement, 19 January 2017 - Davenport Replacement Prospectus ).
Davenport subsequently announced an Exploration Target of between 2,678 and 3,396 million tonnes with a potash grade ranging between 4.3% and 25% K2O on the Gräfentonna licence. ( ASX Announcement - 22 May 2017- Exploration Evaluation at Gräfentonna ). The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further
exploration will result in the estimation of a mineral resource
Davenport is working towards validating historic exploration information to progress to a JORC 2012 Inferred Resource by twinning selected historic drill holes. Drilling approval has proven to be a complex bureaucratic process that proceeded more slowly than anticipated over the months following the IPO. Davenport has consulted with local authorities and mayors in the licence area, completed an environmental assessment of the proposed drilling program, tendered the drilling and submitted an operating plan for both State approval and Federal Government approval for deep drilling. The Company continues to engage with local land holders.
In April 2017 Davenport submitted an offer to purchase a package of three potash mining licences from Bodenverwertungs-undverwaltungs GMBH (BVVG), a German government agency charged with divesting former German Democratic Republic (GDR) assets. The licences - Mühlhausen-Nohra, Ebeleben
2017 ANNUAL REPORT Page 5
DAVENPORT RESOURCES LIMITED
and Ohmgebirge - adjoin Davenport’s existing Exploration Licences and have extensive historic drilling and potash resources estimated under the system of the GDR.
Following negotiation an offer of € 1.2 million was accepted and the agreement was signed after year end. The agreement is subject to final government approvals relating to the transfer of the licences to EE GmbH.
On signing the agreement EE GmbH acquired ownership of the exploration data on the licences and work has now commenced on analysing the high quality historic exploration data with a view to fast tracking evaluation to a JORC2012 Resource.
Australian Tenements
Davenport owns two exploration tenements EL28045 and EL30090 in Australia’s Northern Territory. Covering an area of approximately 600 km[2] and located in the Arunta region approximately 75km north east of Alice Springs, the area is prospective for copper and contains a known copper prospect – Johnny’s Reward. After year-end Davenport completed a detailed aeromagnetic survey over the tenements and work is ongoing to follow up the results.

Remuneration report (audited)
The remuneration report, which has been audited, outlines the director and executive remuneration arrangements for the consolidated entity and the company, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.
The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:
-
A Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
-
B Details of remuneration
-
C Service agreements
-
D Share-based compensation
-
E Additional information
A Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
Remuneration philosophy
The performance of the company depends upon the quality of its directors and executive officers. To prosper, the company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled directors and executive officers.
The directors' remuneration is comparable to similar sized companies in the junior mining industry. There is no formal link between the consolidated entity’s performance and the Directors’ remuneration.
Remuneration Committee
Company does not have a separate Remuneration Committee at this stage and the Board as a whole performs the function of this Committee. A separate Remuneration Committee will be constituted when the Company achieves certain milestones in relation to its size and scale of operations.
Incentive Plans
Ultimately the shareholders approve any incentive plans however the Board is to:
-
(a) review and make recommendations concerning long-term incentive compensation plans, including the use of share options and other equity-based plans. Except as otherwise delegated, the Board will administer equitybased and employee benefit plans, and as such will discharge any responsibilities under those plans, including making and authorising issues of equity, in accordance with the terms of those plans;
-
(b) ensure that incentive plans are designed around appropriate and realistic performance targets that measure relative performance and provide rewards when they are achieved; and
-
(c) continually review and if necessary improve any existing benefit programs established for employees.
Authority and Resources
The Board may seek input from individuals on remuneration policies, but no individual should be directly involved in deciding their own remuneration. The Board may, when it considers it necessary or appropriate, obtain advice from external consultants or specialists in relation to remuneration related matters.
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive directors and executive remunerations are separate.
2017 ANNUAL REPORT Page 10
DAVENPORT RESOURCES LIMITED
Directors’ report 30 June 2017
Remuneration report (continued)
Non-executive directors remuneration
The Constitution of the Company provides for a maximum aggregate amount that may be paid to non-executive directors (referred to as a “non-executive director’s remuneration pool”) to be determined by shareholders at a general meeting. ASX requires the non- executive director’s remuneration pool amount to be specified.
A maximum non-executive director’s remuneration pool amount of $500,000 per annum was adopted at the 2016 General Meeting.
The non-executive director’s remuneration pool is a maximum and does not mean that non-executive directors will be paid a total of $500,000 per annum. In the first two years following listing the non-executive directors remuneration pool is limited to no more than $160,000 per annum. The amount of each non-executive director’s remuneration and allocations among non-executive directors within the pool limit are determined by the Board, and the process of determining non-executive director’s remuneration is subject to compliance with corporate governance policies.
Payment to non-executive directors for specific services beyond the ordinary role of a non-executive director, such as consulting or professional services, are excluded from the total pool amount, as is reimbursement of expense.
Any future change to the non-executive director’s remuneration pool will require a further shareholder approval.
Executive remuneration
The company aims to reward its executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the consolidated entity, so as to reward executives for meeting or exceeding targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks; align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; and ensure remuneration is competitive by market standards.
It is the Remuneration Committee's policy that employment contracts must be entered into with the Chief Executive Officer and senior executives. Remuneration presently consists only of fixed remuneration. The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and competitive in the market. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee as part of an assessment on that executive’s performance. Although the Board has access to external independent advice if necessary, no such advice was sought during the year.
Employee Security Ownership Plan
An employee incentive scheme (“the Employee Security Ownership Plan” or “the plan”) was adopted at the 2016 General Meeting. Employee Security Ownership Plan will take effect after Listing. The purpose of Employee Security Ownership Plan is to enable eligible directors, officers and employees (including executive and non-executive directors of the Company or its subsidiaries) to receive shares, options to acquire shares in the Company or other securities or interests such as performance rights.
The objects of the Plan are to:
-
provide participants (eligible persons within the meaning of the Plan) with an additional incentive to work to improve the performance of the company;
-
attracting and retaining eligible persons essential for the continued growth and development of the Company;
-
to promote and foster loyalty and support amongst eligible persons for the benefit of the Company; and
-
to enhance the relationship between the Company and eligible persons for the long term mutual benefit of all parties.
There is no current proposal to issue any shares, options, other securities or interests such as performance rights under the Plan. While the Plan makes provision for participation by directors and their associates (subject always to further shareholder approval) the Plan is only being adopted to enable shares or options to be issued to non-director employees if the Board decided to do so after Listing. No directors or their associates can or will participate in the Plan or receive any shares, options, other securities or interests such as performance rights unless and until further shareholder approval of specific issues to them is obtained.

DAVENPORT RESOURCES LIMITED
Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2017
Note 1. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and certain classes of property, plant and equipment.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 2.
Going concern
For the year ended 30 June 2017, the consolidated entity incurred an operating loss of $2,734,788 and incurred negative cash flows from operations of $588,707.
Having carefully assessed the uncertainties relating to the likelihood of securing additional funding and the consolidated entity’s ability to effectively manage its operations and working capital requirements, the directors believe that the consolidated entity will continue to operate as a going concern and that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis which assumes the realisation of assets and the extinguishment of liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the financial statements.
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 23.
2017 ANNUAL REPORT Page 22
DAVENPORT RESOURCES LIMITED
Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2017 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Davenport Resources Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2017 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Davenport Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The effects of potential exercisable voting rights are considered when assessing whether control exists. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Reverse asset acquisition
On 9 January 2017, Davenport Resources Ltd (“Davenport Resources”) completed the acquisition of German exploration licences holder East Exploration Pty Ltd and its subsidiary (together “East Exploration”) (“Acquisition”). The Acquisition has been accounted for using the principles for reverse acquisitions in AASB 3 Business Combinations because, as a result of the Acquisition, the former shareholders of East Exploration obtained accounting control of the Davenport Resources (the legal parent).
The Acquisition did not meet the definition of a business combination in accordance with AASB 3 Business Combinations as the acquiree was deemed not to be a business for accounting purposes and, therefore, the transaction was not a business transaction using the principles of share based payment transactions in AASB 2, and in particular the guidance in AASB 2 that any difference between the fair value of the shares issued by the accounting acquirer (East Exploration) and the fair value of the accounting acquiree’s (Davenport Resources) identifiable net assets represents a service received by East Exploration, including payment for a service of an ASX stock exchange listing which will be expensed through the consolidated entity’s profit and loss statement in the 2017 financial year.
Accordingly, the consolidated financial report of Davenport Resources has been prepared as a continuation of the business and operations of East Exploration. As the deemed accounting acquirer has accounted for the acquisition from 9 January 2017. The comparative information for the 12 months ended 30 June 2016 presented in the financial report is that of East Exploration. The impact of the reverse asset acquisition on each of the primary statements is as follows:
Consolidated statement of comprehensive income:
-
The statement for the period ended 30 June 2017 comprises 12 months of operating results of East Exploration and the operating results of Davenport Resources from 9 January 2017.
-
The statement for the period to 30 June 2016 comprises 12 months of operating results of East Exploration.
Consolidated statement of financial position:
-
The consolidated statement of financial position at 30 June 2017 contains the assets and liabilities of East Exploration and Davenport Resources as at that date.
-
The consolidated statement of financial position at 30 June 2016 represents the assets and liabilities of East Exploration as at that date.
Statement of changes in equity:
- The consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period ended 30 June 2017 comprises the East Exploration balance at 1 July 2016, its loss for the 12 months and transactions with equity holders for 12 months. It also comprises Davenport Resources transactions with equity holders for the period from Acquisition to 30 June 2017 and the equity balances of East Exploration and Davenport Resources at 30 June 2017.

Principles of consolidation (continued)
Statement of changes in equity (continued):
- The consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period to 30 June 2016 comprises 12 months of East Exploration’s change in equity.
Statement of cash flows:
-
The consolidated cash flow statement for the period ended 30 June 2017 comprises the cash balance of East Exploration, as at 1 July 2016, the cash transactions for the 12 months (12 months for East Exploration and the period from Acquisition to 30 June 2017 for Davenport Resources and the cash balances of East Exploration and Davenport Resources at 30 June 2017)
-
The consolidated cash flow statement for the period ended 30 June 2016 comprises 12 months of East Exploration cash transactions.
References throughout the financial statements to “reverse acquisition” or “reverse takeover” are in reference to the above mentioned Acquisition and the accounting treatment described above.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Refer to the 'business combinations' accounting policy for further details. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
Foreign Currency Translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period.
All exchange differences in the consolidated financial report are taken to profit or loss with the exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. These are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
The functional currencies of the Group are European Dollars (EURO) and Australian Dollars (AUD). The presentation currency is Australian Dollars (AUD).
As at reporting date the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of Davenport Resources at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period and income and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the year.
2017 ANNUAL REPORT Page 24
DAVENPORT RESOURCES LIMITED
Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2017 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Foreign Currency Translation (continued)
The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to a separate component of equity, being recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve.
On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss.
Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
-
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entity's which intend to settle simultaneously.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2017
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision 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 uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence that the consolidated entity 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 bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable may be 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.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.
Investments and other financial assets
Investments and other financial assets are measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on the purpose of the acquisition and subsequent reclassification to other categories is restricted.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.
Impairment of financial assets
The company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Objective evidence includes significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor; a breach of contract such as default or delinquency in payments; the lender granting to a borrower concessions due to economic or legal reasons that the lender would not otherwise do; it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; the disappearance of an active market for the financial asset; or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows.
The amount of the impairment allowance for loans and receivables carried at amortised cost 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. If there is a reversal of impairment, the reversal cannot exceed the amortised cost that would have been had the impairment not been recognised and is reversed to profit or loss.
Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a diminishing value basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:
| Plant and equipment | 3 - 5 years |
|---|---|
| Leasehold improvements | 10 years |
Residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.

DAVENPORT RESOURCES LIMITED
Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2017
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Leases
Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.
Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Employee benefits
Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in current liabilities in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Non-accumulating sick leave is expensed to profit or loss when incurred.
Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Issued Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired.
The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss.
On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the consolidated entity's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.
Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated entity remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.
Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer.
Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value.

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Davenport Resources Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Comparative figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been restated to conform to changes in presentation for the current period.
Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. Any significant impact on the accounting policies of the consolidated entity from the adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations are disclosed below. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted by the Consolidated Entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2017. The Consolidated Entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Consolidated Entity, are set out below.

Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2017

AASB 9 Financial Instruments
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces all previous versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, which arise on specified dates and solely principal and interest. All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income ('OCI'). For financial liabilities, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements will use an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance. Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. The standard introduces additional new disclosures. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018. The impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed in detail by the consolidated entity but is not expected to have material impact on the consolidated entity.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard provides a single standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) to be identified, together with the separate performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, adjusted for the time value of money excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on a basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no distinct observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit risk will be presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted to revenue. For goods, the performance obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the performance obligation is satisfied when the service has been provided, typically for promises to transfer services to customers. For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine how much revenue should be recognised as the performance obligation is satisfied. Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and the customer's payment. Sufficient quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to understand the contracts with customers; the significant judgements made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018. The impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed in detail by the consolidated entity but is not expected to have material impact on the consolidated entity.
AASB 16 Leases
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
This standard:
-
replaces AASB 117 Leases and some lease-related Interpretations;
-
requires all leases to be accounted for ‘on-balance sheet’ by lessees, other than short-term and low value asset leases;
-
provides new guidance on the application of the definition of lease and on sale and lease back accounting;
-
largely retains the existing lessor accounting requirements in AASB 117;
-
requires new and different disclosures about leases.
The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019. The entity is yet to undertake a detailed assessment of the impact of AASB 16. However, based on the entity’s preliminary assessment, the likely impact on the first time adoption of the Standard for the half year ending 31 December 2019 includes:
-
there will be a significant increase in lease assets and financial liabilities recognised on the balance sheet;
-
the reported equity will reduce as the carrying amount of lease assets will reduce more quickly than the carrying amount of lease liabilities;
2017 ANNUAL REPORT Page 30
DAVENPORT RESOURCES LIMITED
Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2017
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
-
EBIT in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income will be higher as the implicit interest in lease payments for former off balance sheet leases will be presented as part of finance costs rather than being included in operating expenses; and
-
Operating cash outflows will be lower and financing cash flows will be higher in the statement of cash flows as principal repayments on all lease liabilities will now be included in financing activities rather than operating activities.
Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Provision for impairment of receivables
The provision for impairment of receivables assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and specific knowledge of the individual debtors financial position.
Income tax
The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The consolidated entity recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the consolidated entity’s current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the consolidated entity considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Lease make good provision
A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs for future restoration of leased premises. The provision includes future cost estimates associated with closure of the premises. The calculation of this provision requires assumptions such as application of closure dates and cost estimates. The provision recognised for each site is periodically reviewed and updated based on the facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes to the estimated future costs for sites are recognised in the statement of financial position by adjusting the asset and the provision. Reductions in the provision that exceed the carrying amount of the asset will be recognised in profit or loss.
Exploration and evaluation assets
The consolidated entity has recognised an asset for exploration and evaluation work conducted on projects in Germany and the Northern Territory. The directors have determined that the activities of the projects have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. The expenditure incurred has therefore been carried forward as an asset in accordance with the consolidated entity's accounting policy.

Note 3. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The consolidated entity is organised into one operating segment being exploration operations. This operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The steps for calculating the acquisition account items reflect the following rationale:
-
East Exploration Pty Ltd (“East Exploration”) is deemed to make a share-based payment to acquire the existing shareholders’ interest in the net assets of Davenport Resources Ltd (“Davenport Resources”) following the Acquisition;
-
The total consideration deemed to be paid by East Exploration at the Acquisition (by way of the share-based payment) is calculated as follows:
-
Nature of deemed consideration – shares in East Exploration;
-
Value of East Exploration shares – cannot be determined as no active market for East Exploration shares at time of acquisition;
-
Therefore assess value of East Exploration shares deemed to be issued by reference to the fair value of Davenport Resources assets acquired;
-
Fair value of Davenport Resources assets acquired (number of Davenport Resources shares on issue prior to Acquisition being 12,000,262 multiplied by the fair value of each Davenport Resources immediately prior to Acquisition being $0.20) (20 cents).
As the shares of Davenport Resources were not being traded at the time of the Acquisition there was no active market for those shares. Accordingly the fair values of the shares was determined as 20 cents per share, this being the price at which Davenport Resources shares had been issued pursuant to the Replacement Prospectus dated 24 October 2016 (as amended by the first and second supplementary prospectus), which was the last transaction for Davenport Resources shares immediately prior to the Acquisition.
The total consideration deemed to be paid by East Exploration was then compared to the net assets of Davenport Resources at the Acquisition, as calculated below. The excess of the consideration paid over the value of the net assets of Davenport Resources is expensed as a listing fee in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Share buy-back
There is no current on-market share buy-back.
Capital risk management
The consolidated entity's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current parent entity's share price at the time of the investment. The consolidated entity is not actively pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses to maximise synergies.

Note 17. Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives
The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity'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 consolidated entity. Derivatives are not used as trading or other speculative instruments. The consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate and other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk.
Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the consolidated entity and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity has a strict code of credit. The consolidated entity obtains guarantees where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The consolidated entity does not hold any collateral.
An impairment charge of $22,867 has been recognised in relation to trade receivables for the current financial year (2016: $nil).
Fair value of financial instruments
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value. The carrying amounts of trade receivables and trade payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

East Exploration holds two exploration licences in Germany, referred to as the South Harz Project, through a wholly owned and controlled German subsidiary.
The acquisition of East Exploration (the legal subsidiary) by the Company (the legal parent) is deemed to be a reverse acquisition, since the substance of the transaction is such that the former shareholders of East Exploration have obtained substantial control of the Company.
Note 28. Earnings per share
In accordance with the principles of reverse acquisition accounting, the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period ended 30 June 2017 has been calculated as the weighted average number of ordinary shares of Davenport Resources Limited outstanding during the period before acquisition multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the acquisition accounting, and the actual number of ordinary shares of Davenport Resources Limited outstanding during the period after acquisition.
