UNITY METALS LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2024
Note 1. Material accounting policy information
The accounting policies that are material to the Company are set out below.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Company 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.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards - Simplified Disclosures issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities.
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 Company’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
The�company’s financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
At�31 December 2024, the�Company�had a cash position of $9,962, recorded a loss of $47,456 and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $41,270. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to raise capital through its planned initial public offering (IPO). As a result, there a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt over the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Directors believe their plans are achievable and it is appropriate to prepare the financial report on a going concern basis for the following reasons:
-
ability to scale back operating expenses
-
financial support through a borrowings facility with a related party
-
ability to raise funds through the planned IPO
Based on these factors, the directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare the�31 December 2024 financial statements on a going concern basis. The Directors are satisfied the�Company can pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.
In the event that the�Company is not able to successfully complete any one or more of the aforementioned activities, it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the�Company not continue as a going concern.
10
UNITY METALS LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2024
Note 1. Material accounting policy information (continued)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and 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.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
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.
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.
Income tax
The Company is subject to income taxes in Australia. 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 Company recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the members of Unity Metals Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Unity Metals Limited (the Company), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the period then ended, and notes to the financial report, including material accounting policy information, the consolidated entity disclosure statement and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of Unity Metals Limited, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
i) Giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2024 and of its financial performance for the period ended on that date; and
-
ii) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (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 entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
BDO Audit Pty Ltd ABN 33 134 022 870 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of A.C.N. 050 110 275 Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor’s report is information included in the director’s report, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information 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.
Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of:
-
a) the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and
-
b) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, and
for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:
-
i) the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
-
ii) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability 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 Company 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.
