Chairman’s letter
30 September 2022
Dear Shareholder
The 2021/2022 financial year has been one of considerable change on the macro front. As the world emerged from the Covid pandemic, crop prices rose and with that the demand for fertilizers. This was followed by the Russian invasion of Ukraine in March 2022 propelling food security and the criticality of secure sources of supply of strategic resources into the limelight. As a consequence of these factors and the punitive restrictions on Russia and Belarus c. 30% of global potash supply has been restricted and the European Muriate of Potash (MOP) FOB price rose from $395/ tonne in 2021 ($224 in 2020) to over $900 /tonne earlier this year. These geopolitical changes will have a long lasting effect on the potash supply chain, positioning South Harz Potash very well to provide an alternative source of potash to the key European markets and Brazil.
Your company took the opportunity to consolidate its balance sheet via a small equity top up of A$5.26 million in December 2021 and it also benefitted during the year from the receipt of A$5.20 million of option conversion proceeds. The company finished the financial year with A$6.6 million cash in hand.
In April we established the Süd Harz Kali office in Erfurt, Germany, to accommodate our growing in situ team. This is the first time the company has had a physical presence and it is an important visible local signal of our serious investment intent.
During the year we sank two confirmatory drill holes at the Ohmgebirge project at a total cost of A$ 7.4m. The individual results of these new holes were slightly better than the older holes that they twinned, and the corroboration of this data permitted us to upgrade 89% of the sylvinite at a grade of 13.5% from the JORC inferred to the indicated resource category in the Ohmgebirge area. This in turn allowed us to publish a comprehensive scoping study on the project on 8[th] August 2022. The scoping study demonstrated that based on grounded assumptions an attractive project exists on the Ohmgebirge property. It shows the technical and financial robustness of a vertical shaft access underground mining operation, with a conventional coldwater leach and hot crystallization process, producing approximately 1 Mtpa of premium MOP. For a capital investment of some US$620m the Ohmgebirge Development will produce 1 million tons of potash per annum for an initial 21 years. It will be unit cost competitive at $93 / t net of salt credits and based on the moderate MOP price assumption of US$385/t it produces a solid NPV of around US$1.3 billion, an IRR comfortably above 26%, and a 3.6-year payback following plant ramp up. These results reflect South Harz’s premium location, proximity to European customers, the quality of the Ohmgebirge orebody, and the tried and tested mining and processing approach that has been selected.
We set out to establish the technical and financial robustness of a modern, low-impact mining development to produce premium MOP. We have had excellent support from a formidable team of premium global geological and mining industry consultants in undertaking this Study – some of whom have a long history with, and deep expertise in, the South Harz district as the cradle of potash mining globally. Our scoping study has been completed based on their advice and input, and it indicates that an attractive project exists on the Ohmgebirge property. This is the first hard modern data that has been published on the potential for mining in the south Harz region and it bodes well for the future potential of our other assets.
3 | P a g e
South Harz Potash Limited
The Ohmgebirge scoping study concludes that our first project can be developed at an efficient capital cost of some US$620 million. Given the project’s scale, projected economics, and its strategic location, South Harz is well placed to explore the full range of potential funding pathways available. Funding opportunities will also be positively influenced by the growing global recognition of the importance of Potash, its strategic relevance in the escalating global food security conversation and our strong ESG credentials.
An alternative Ohmgebirge development approach will be prepared in parallel to the 1mtpa case based on an initial 500 ktpa development with a further 500 ktpa capacity being added in later years. This scenario has an overall higher capital expenditure requirement of US$668 million, but a significantly lower peak finance requirement of US$443 million.
The South Harz region and the Ohmgebirge development exhibits world class potential. Being in the heart of Europe we can rely on a sound legal jurisdiction. All types of infrastructure are readily available, and we are in close proximity to both northern European customers and ports. We already have a rich data base of geological information on all our properties with 303 borehole results altogether. The Ohmgebirge development at only 6% of our total 5.3 billion tonne Resource is only the first of four potential projects and with time, I believe we will demonstrate Tier 1 scale, with the broader South Harz region capable of delivering multiple development opportunities.
At South Harz, we have a deep commitment to building a strong social license and to developing Ohmgebirge in a responsible and sustainable fashion. Our local community engagement is already strong and our focus on environmental stewardship is unwavering. Underground operations result in minimal surface disturbance and lower carbon emissions, and we have stated our commitment to low impact mining practises, including zero permanent waste piles on surface and zero industrial water discharges. Our proximity to European markets also delivers low freight-related carbon emissions versus competitors from Canada and eastern Europe.
Looking ahead, we have designed our feasibility work to deliver the right information at the right time into the permitting process so that it dovetails the optimal route to approval. All being well, we anticipate mine construction can commence in mid calendar 2025. Key milestones will be the mine site selection expected by the end of this calendar year, and the completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study by the end of calendar 2023.
During the year we parted company with Dr Chris Gilchrist. We thank him for his contribution. We are at an advanced stage in the process of identifying his successor. In the interim, and at the board’s request, I have assumed the temporary role of Executive Chairman. Dr Babette Winter joined the executive team in February 2022 in the role of Regional Director for Germany. Babette has a background in politics, government and environmental affairs and she takes the lead on social, environmental, and permitting matters.
In conclusion, I would like to thank our team for their tireless efforts in completing the scoping study and our shareholders for their continued support.

South Harz Potash Limited
Review of activities
South Harz Potash Limited (ASX: SHP) has had an active and successful year advancing our portfolio of potash projects in the South Harz region of Germany. The South Harz portfolio hosts a globally large-scale potash JORC (2012) Mineral Resource estimate of 258 Mt at 13.5% K2O of Indicated Resources and 5.0 Bt at 10.6% K2O of Inferred Resources across four 100%-owned project areas located favourably within central Europe.[1]
The South Harz projects are contained within a well-defined potash basin which has been mined locally for fertiliser salts for more than 100 years. SHP holds three perpetual mining licences, Ohmgebirge, Mühlhausen-Nohra and Ebeleben as well as two exploration licences Küllstedt and Gräfentonna (Figure 1) and has identified at least four standalone projects within its portfolio at this stage.

During the period, SHP continued to evaluate its extensive suite of potential potash projects held under license in the central German state of Thüringia. The Company selected the Ohmgebirge Mining Licence as the Company’s initial focus for development, owing to its relative shallowness (from 650m below surface), tonnage, grade (290Mt grading 13.47% K2O)[1] , the license area’s proximity to infrastructure including abandoned mines for future tailings disposal and to derelict industrial land from adjacent former potash mines.

Ohmgebirge
Confirmatory drilling and assay program completed
Drilling and assay of two confirmatory drillholes within the Ohmgebirge Mining Licence area of the South Harz Potash Project was successfully completed in early June.
Drillhole OHM-01
Drillhole OHM-01 was designed to twin and confirm the results of the historic drillhole, Kal Ktf 5/83 , which was drilled in 1983. This historic drillhole recorded potash within the Staßfurt Potash Horizon from a depth of 785.20m to 788.20m (3.0m thickness) with a historic reported grade of 12.4% K2O ( ASX announcement dated 23 December 2019[1] ).
Drilling of OHM-01, located 100m west of the historic drillhole was completed to a final depth of 778m, in order to fully penetrate the known Staßfurt Potash Horizon. OHM-01 intercepted the top of the Staßfurt Potash Horizon at 775.05m and returned an intercept grade of 16.9% K2O over a length of 3.75m from 775.05m (see ASX release dated 8 June 2022).
Drillhole OHM-02
Drillhole OHM-02 was completed to a depth of 721.32m and was designed to twin and validate the results of the historic drillhole Kal Wr 6 Liese , which was drilled in 1906. The historic drillhole recorded potash within the Staßfurt Potash Horizon from a depth of 651.70m to 657.20m (5.5m thick) with an historic reported grade of 15.72% K2O. ( ASX announcement 23[rd] December 2019[[][1]] ).
Drilling of OHM-02, located 148m west of the historic drillhole, intercepted the top of the potash horizon from 651.53m down to a depth of 662.51m, a total apparent thickness of 10.98m and an interpreted true (vertical) thickness of 7.51m. The assay results from OHM-02 are outlined in Table 2 ( ASX announcement 29 April 2022 ).

Mineral Resource Estimate update completed
The confirmatory drillhole program was targeted to allow South Harz Potash Ltd to upgrade a substantial proportion of the Ohmgebirge Mineral Resource estimate to the Indicated category.
An update to the Ohmgebirge Mineral Resource estimate was completed in July ( ASX announcement 12 July 2022 ). The updated Mineral Resource is 338 Mt at 12.9% potassium oxide (K2O) for approximately 44 Mt of contained K2O (see Table 2). This estimate comprises 290 Mt of Sylvinite (key focus seam for development) grading 13.5% K2O (split approximately 89% Indicated and 11% Inferred categories) and 48 Mt of Carnallite at 9.8% K2O (100% Inferred).

Ohmgebirge Scoping Study completed
The Scoping Study for the Ohmgebirge Project was completed in early August 2022 ( ASX announcement 8[th] August 2022 ). The study has demonstrated the technical and financial robustness of a vertical shaft access, underground mining operation at Ohmgebirge with a conventional cold-water leach - hot crystallization process producing approximately 1 Mtpa of premium Muriate of Potash ( MOP ) product for sale predominantly into proximate European fertilizer markets.
The Scoping Study utilises a weighted average FOB Hamburg equivalent MOP price of US$385/t. This includes an assumed price of US$370/t for Standard European MOP product which compares with an average price for this product of approx. US$340/t (real basis, FOB NW Europe) over the past decade, and a spot price which reached over US$900/t (FOB NW Europe). Conservative salt price and sales volumes assumptions have also been adopted for the Ohmgebirge Development. Clear potential upside to both inputs delivers the prospect of considerably greater revenue realisation from both MOP and salt sales at Ohmgebirge than currently incorporated.
8 | P a g e
South Harz Potash Limited
The Ohmgebirge development focuses on the mining, processing and sale of MOP from solely the Ohmgebirge Sylvinite deposit (290 Mt resource). Key highlights of the project are:
-
Outstanding, first world jurisdiction in a region rich with infrastructure and potash mining history.
-
Relatively shallow, thick potash deposit of simple and well understood mineralogy.
-
Adopted mining and processing mechanics are long established and extensively proven in the district.
-
Low-impact development based on self-imposed commitment to zero permanent waste piles on surface.
-
Equal commitment to zero water discharges, which have historically been a defining feature of the industry.
-
Expected utilisation of grid power, which in Germany is already approximately 50% from renewable sources.
-
Delivered operating costs projected to be in the bottom half of the global unit cost curve.
-
Capital intensity of development forecast to be comfortably below average for equivalent scale operations.
-
Proximity to European market offers huge cost and carbon footprint advantages versus other suppliers.
-
Asset domicile increasingly valuable given heightened geopolitical tensions and supply chain challenges.
-
Clear strategic opportunity for South Harz Potash Ltd to become a new supplier of choice for potash in Europe.
-
Tier 1 scale with broader South Harz Project resources delivering potential for multiple developments.
-
Range of potential funding pathways available given scale, projected economics and strategic location.

Future work
The South Harz Board has approved progression to a Pre-Feasibility Study ( PFS ) on the Ohmgebirge Development, which is scheduled for completion in Q4 2023. The PFS is set to focus on a 1 Mtpa MOP operation. A two-phase alternative (500 + 500 ktpa) with a lower peak financing requirement is also planned to be progressed alongside. Requisite environmental and social impact assessment and permitting requirements are well understood and set to parallel the next phases of technical feasibility work to progress the Ohmgebirge Development as expeditiously as possible.
We will also be drilling one confirmatory hole at Kuhlstedt which has an Inferred resource of 1.5 billion tonnes.

ESG and risk
SHP aims to establish world-class ESG credentials and has published an ESG policy to this effect. Progress has subsequently been made in identifying an experienced consultancy to assist the Company in its initial construction of an ESG management system.
SHP is at an early stage in the development of its significant potash resources in Thuringen state. Therefore, at this stage our focus in terms of environmental and social impact of our operations has been to engage with the local communities to give assurances on the potential impact of our operations. A full independent assessment will be carried out as part of our Defined Feasibility study due to commence in the next calendar year. This will also address health and safety issues, labour standards and environmental legislation compliance considerations, as well as confirm our carbon footprint and climate change review. Management and Directors will be attending an ESG workshop at the end of this year in order to further strengthen our ESG policies and our ESG performance which the Board keeps in strong focus to drive improvements where necessary. The Board’s focus will therefore be on our local communities, the safety of our staff, the protection of our environment, and good governance to protect our shareholders and our business going forward.
In terms of governance, we have recently reviewed and updated our Corporate Governance procedures and policies in line with the latest ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations – 4th Edition. All members of the Board believe strongly in the importance of good corporate governance to assist in achieving objectives and in accountability to stakeholders. The Board meets every two months and has the following sub committees: Remuneration, Nominations, Audit and Technical. The Chair has developed a board skills matrix, which is reviewed by the Nominations Committee, in order to help assess its key competencies and any skills gaps that may exist so as to determine ways of dealing with those. The Chair also undertakes annual assessments of individual Board members in order to evaluate overall Board performance. We have also developed a Risk Register which is reviewed regularly by the Board and Audit Committee and will be an interactive tool to recognise, mitigate and manage key risks.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Remuneration of auditors
During the financial year the following fees were paid or payable for services provided by the BDO:
Audit & Review Fee – BDO Non-Assurance fee – BDO Remuneration consulting |
Consolidated 2022 2021 $ $ 49,000 27,000 8,500 15,000 |
|---|---|
| 57,500 42,000 |
The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.
The directors are of the opinion that the services disclosed above do not compromise the external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
-
All non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
-
None of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the company, acting as an advocate for the company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.
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 Board aligns the compensation structure of the company closely to the strategy of the company, its shareholders’ interests and existing market practice. It offers a structured short-term incentive plan and long-term retention plan for senior and key executive team members and allocate long-term options to non-executive Board members.
The short-term executive incentive plan consists of performance related bonus payments, based on the achievement of pre-agreed targets directly derived from the company's strategy, as communicated to the shareholders and the market in general. The long-term executive incentives plan consists of multiyear, high premium options with an initial vesting period.
These compensation packages are reassessed annually, based on packages offered by comparable companies in Australia and around the world. While the compensation cycle historically follows the calendar year, the Board has now aligned this with the company’s financial year.
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

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
A Principle 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.
Remuneration Committee Responsibilities
The Board’s Remuneration Committee (“the Committee”) assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of directors and senior executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions, with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high-quality Board and executive team.
Incentive Plans
Ultimately the shareholders approve any incentive plans, however the Remuneration committee’s objective is to: (a) review and make recommendations concerning short-term and long-term incentive and retention compensation plans, including the use of share options and other equity-based plans. Except as otherwise delegated, the Committee will administer equity-based 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, either at an individual or company level, 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 Committee may seek input from individuals on remuneration policies, but no individual should be directly involved in deciding their own remuneration. The Committee 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. The Committee engaged an external consultant during the year.
BDO has been engaged during the year to assess Director’s remuneration. BDO provided benchmarking data which the remuneration committee used to make its decision on short-term incentive plan and long-term retention plan for senior and key executive team members and allocate long-term options to non-executive Board members. A fee of $8,500 (2021: $15,000) was paid to BDO for these services. All decisions by the Remuneration Committee are based on BDO benchmarking and no individual is present or party to discussion regarding their personal remuneration during their deliberations. Therefore, based on this the Board is satisfied that there can be no undue influence from Key Management Personnel whose remuneration is being determined.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
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 nonexecutive directors will be paid a total of $500,000 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 Committee, 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 nonexecutive 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.
Non-executive directors are eligible to participate in the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan, upon obtaining shareholder approval. During the financial year, non-executive directors were granted as detailed in the table following page.
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 Company’s remuneration policy that employment contracts must be entered into with the Chief Executive Officer and senior executives. 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 Committee as part of an assessment on that executive’s performance. The Committee has access to external independent advice during the year.
Employee Share Option Plan
An employee incentive scheme (“the Employee Share Option Plan” or “the plan”) was adopted at the 4 May 2021 General Meeting. The purpose of the Employee Share Option Plan is to enable eligible directors, officers and employees (including executive and non-executive directors of the Company or its subsidiaries) to receive options to acquire shares in the Company.
The objective of the Employee Share Option Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and the Company considers that the adoption of the Employee Share Option Plan and the future issue of Options under the Employee Share Option Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company. The employee share options plan and performance rights plan are Equity settled share-based payments.
No Directors or their associates can or will participate in the Employee Share Option Plan or receive any options unless and until further shareholder approval of specific issues to them is obtained. All the options issued to directors and others in a position of influence were approved by shareholders ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
The options granted under the Employee Share Option Plan are detailed below.

Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2022
Note 1. Significant accounting policies
The financial report covers South Harz Potash Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of South Harz Potash Limited and the entities it controlled. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is South Harz Potash Limited's functional and presentation currency.
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. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors, on 30th September 2022.
Change in accounting policy
The Group’s policy has been to capitalise all the exploration and evaluation costs in line with the requirements of AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources . A decision has been taken to change this accounting policy and charge the exploration and evaluation expenses to the statement of profit or loss. Costs incurred in the acquisition of tenements rights will be continue to be capitalised. The Company is of the opinion that the above treatment results in more reliable and relevant information to users of the financial information since the historic costs previously capitalised related to the company’s compilation of geological data covering all of its mining and exploration licenses and were not able to be properly assessed with reference to commercial and financial analysis specific to a viable project.
However, following the publication of a Scoping Study, the Company is planning to prepare a detailed feasibility study (DFS), following a Pre-feasibility study (PFS), on the future prospects and commercial development of its first exploration project at Ohmgebirge. It is the Company’s intention to then capitalise exploration costs into its development projects as appropriate once a DFS has been completed which will enable it to perform an informed review of the commercial value of those costs going forward for the purpose of impairment testing.
Since this is a change in accounting policy, retrospective adjustment to the opening retained earnings as at 1 July 2020 and December 2020 comparative statement of profit or loss has been done. A summary of the impact on the financial statements is given below:

Exploration and evaluation assets-revised
It is the Group’s policy to capitalise the cost of acquiring rights to explore areas of interest. All other exploration and evaluation expenditure is charged against earnings as incurred and included as part of cash flows from operating activities.
The costs of acquisition are carried forward as an asset provided one of the following conditions is met:
-
a. Such costs are expected to be recouped through the successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or
-
b. Exploration activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing. When the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource have been demonstrated then any capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is reclassified as capitalised mine development. Prior to reclassification, capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment.
Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources is the search for mineral resources after the entity has obtained legal rights to explore in a specific area, as well as the determination of the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource.
Accounting for exploration and evaluation expenditures is assessed separately for each ‘area of interest’ to determine whether expenditure is expensed as incurred or capitalised as an asset. An ‘area of interest’ is an individual geological area which is considered to constitute a favourable environment for the presence of a mineral deposit or has been proved to contain such a deposit.
Pre-production costs are deferred as development costs until such time as the asset is capable of being operated in a manner intended by management. Capitalised expenses then become an active asset and are depreciated. Postproduction costs are recognised as a cost of production.
Capitalisation of development expenditure ceases once the mining property is capable of commercial production, at which point it is transferred into a separate mining asset.
Any development expenditure incurred once a mine property is in production is immediately expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income except where it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity, in which case it is capitalized as property, plant and equipment.
Information used in the review process is rigorously tested to externally available information as appropriate.

Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2022
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Impairment
The carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment at the cash generating unit level whenever facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may exceed its recoverable amount.
An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Any impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:

The consolidated entity has adopted the revised Conceptual Framework from 1 July 2021. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards, but it has not had a material impact on the consolidated entity's financial statements.
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 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 financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
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.

Material uncertainty related to going concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going-concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Consolidated Entity incurred an operating loss of $11,859,581 (FY2021: loss $2,346,822) and incurred negative cash flows from operations of $11,428,845 (FY2021: 1,993,684).
The ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon the ability of the Company to secure funds by raising capital from equity markets and managing cash flow in line with available funds. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern.
Based on the cash-flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate, given the following.
-
The Consolidated entity has the ability to defer discretionary costs as and when required.
-
The Directors are exploring a variety of options to raise funds. Given the Company’s history of raising capital to date, the directors are confident of the Company’s ability to raise additional funds as and when they are required.
Should the Consolidated entity be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or to the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.
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 19.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of South Harz Potash Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2022 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. South Harz Potash 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 control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
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. 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.
34 | P a g e
South Harz Potash Limited
Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2022
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is South Harz Potash Limited's functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.
Income recognition
The consolidated entity recognises income as follows:
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
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 the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, 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 be applied 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 liabilit a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accoun nor taxable profits; or
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, the timing of the reversal can be controlled, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in foreseeable future.
35 | P a g e
South Harz Potash Limited
Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2022
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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 at 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 entities which intend to settle simultaneously.
South Harz Potash Limited (the 'head entity') and its wholly owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the 'separate taxpayer within group' approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.
Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2022
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include 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. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
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 allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
Investments and other financial assets
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the consolidated entity intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition.
Impairment of financial assets
Receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional. The Group holds trade receivables with the objective to collect contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Any impairment or expected loss allowance is recorded in a separate account and any write off is offset against this account in the future.
37 | P a g e
South Harz Potash Limited
Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2022
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.
For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In all other cases, the loss allowance reduces the asset's carrying value with a corresponding expense through profit or loss.
Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are 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:
Leasehold improvements 10 years Plant and equipment 3-5 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.
Mining assets
Capitalised mining development costs include expenditures incurred to develop new ore bodies to define further mineralisation in existing ore bodies, to expand the capacity of a mine and to maintain production. Mining development also includes costs transferred from exploration and evaluation phase once production commences in the area of interest.
Amortisation of mining development is computed by the units of production basis over the estimated proved and probable reserves. Proved and probable mineral reserves reflect estimated quantities of economically recoverable reserves which can be recovered in the future from known mineral deposits. These reserves are amortised from the date on which production commences. The amortisation is calculated from recoverable proven and probable reserves and a predetermined percentage of the recoverable measured, indicated and inferred resource. This percentage is reviewed annually.
Restoration costs expected to be incurred are provided for as part of development phase that give rise to the need for restoration.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
38 | P a g e
South Harz Potash Limited
Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2022
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
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.
Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Finance costs
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
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
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Other long-term employee benefits
The liability for annual leave and long service leaves not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services.
39 | P a g e
South Harz Potash Limited
Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2022
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore, any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.
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.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
40 | P a g e
South Harz Potash Limited
Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2022
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.
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.
Dividends
Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the company.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of South Harz Potash 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.
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 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 2022. The consolidated entity has not yet assessed the impact of these not yet mandatory new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

South Harz Potash Limited
Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2022
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 (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Share-based payment transactions
The consolidated entity 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 using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity. Refer to note 13 for further details.
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.

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation costs will only be capitalised after a defined feasibilty study has been completed on a project and the key permits have been obtained at which point the commercial viability of the project can be assessed. The costs will then be amortised based on the life of mine estimate. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made.
Note 3. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The consolidated entity is organised into one operating segment, being mining and 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.

Note 14. Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives
The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: foreign currency 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.
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.
Foreign currency risk
Exposure to foreign currency risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the consolidated entity holds financial instruments which are other than the AUD functional currency of the Group. The consolidated entity is not subject to foreign currency risk as they have foreign currency account. We do not expect significant impact to the consolidated entity.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves, or from funds raised in the market, or by debt and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. The liquidity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities are disclosed in the relevant notes below.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information contained in directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2022, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the annual report, which is expected to be made available to us after that date.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and will request that it is corrected. If it is not corrected, we will seek to have the matter appropriately brought to the attention of users for whom our report is prepared.
Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:
