OPERATING REVIEW
During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Company advanced exploration and development activities
across two key West African projects, the Niagara Bauxite Project and the Simandou North Iron Project, both
located in the Republic of Guinea. Efforts were focussed on establishing high-quality mineral resources and
advancing studies necessary for early-stage project development.
Tenement Status
During May 2025, media announcements were made by government spokespersons in Guinea concerning
the potential cancellation of numerous exploration permits. The permits associated with the Niagara Bauxite
(Niagara) and Simandou North Iron (Simandou North) Projects were included in two consecutive media
announcements as pending cancellation or withdrawal.
Despite these reports, as at the date of this report, the Company has not received any formal communication
from the Guinean government regarding changes to the status of its exploration permits. The Company
remains actively engaged with the Ministry of Mines and Geology, as well as other relevant authorities, to seek
clarification on the status of the permits.
The Company’s shares were placed in a trading halt on 19 May 2025, followed by a voluntary suspension on
21 May 2025. The shares remain suspended while the Company continues to seek clarification regarding the
status of the permits in Guinea.
In light of the uncertain regulatory environment, Arrow has prioritised capital preservation by suspending all
project-based activities, reducing corporate costs, and maintaining active engagement with relevant Guinean
stakeholders. While the Company remains confident in the quality of its projects and has undertaken
substantial technical work to support their development, further progress remains dependent on the resolution
of tenement status with the Guinean government.
Niagara Bauxite Project1
On 1 August 2024, the Company announced it had executed an agreement providing an option to acquire the
Niagara Project2. The proximity of Niagara relative to the Trans-Guinean Railway (TGR) provides significant
benefits to the development of the project as a result of future access to multi-user rail and port infrastructure
(Figure 1). Niagara is well serviced by other infrastructure, being located some 70km North East of the city of
Mamou, with the country’s main national highway, the N1, passing approximately 20km South West of the
project (Figure 1).
Arrow commenced fieldwork in October 2024 and completed a drill program of 184 holes over 3 plateaux
(Boussoura North, Boussoura North West, and the main Boussoura plateau) targeting high grade
mineralisation intercepted in historical drilling completed by Vale in 2007. Eleven (11) of Arrow’s holes were
used to assess regional prospectivity on a fourth plateau, Boussoura South West. The drill program was highly
successful and succeeded in its objective of determining geological and assay continuity sufficient to support
the estimation of Mineral Resources to be used as a basis for the Company’s 2025 Scoping Study. The
Company has previously reported results from all drill holes results 3,4,5,6,7,8, the Mineral Resource Estimate
and an updated Exploration Target9, during the December 2024 and March 2025 quarters.
1 Exploration Permit Renewal: As a result of various statements by government spokespersons in Guinea reported in the media, there is
significant uncertainty regarding the status of the Niagara Project exploration permit.
2 Refer to ASX Announcement dated 1 August 2024 titled “Arrow Expands Bulks Presence with Major Bauxite Transaction” The option relating to
the Niagara Bauxite Project is exercisable following the Niagara Bauxite Project exploration permit being renewed for a period of not less than
two years which remains at the discretion of the Guinean mining administration. The Company is yet to exercise the option for the Niagara
Bauxite Project.

Cautionary Statement:
The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient
exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of
a Mineral Resource.
Exploration Permit Renewal
As a result of various statements in May 2025 by government spokespersons in Guinea which were reported
in the media, there is ongoing uncertainty regarding the status of the Niagara Project exploration permit. The
completion and announcement of the results of the Scoping Study for the Niagara Project is subject to the
Company obtaining clarification on the status of the exploration permit, along with redisclosure of the Mineral
Resource and Exploration Target9.
Scoping Study
The Company engaged SRK Consulting (UK) Limited (SRK)10 to complete the majority of the Niagara Scoping
Study.
As at 31 December 2025, all major components of the Scoping Study for the Niagara Project have been
completed.
In line with the Company’s development strategy, the objective of the Scoping Study is to demonstrate the
viability of a typical Guinea bauxite mining operation in terms of production processes at a “starter project”
scale, that has the potential to be expanded once in production. The intent of a smaller-scale starter project is
to reduce capital expenditure and shorten the project execution and approval timeline (by simplifying the
project) to production and maximising near term cash flows.
The study covered all the typical inclusions of a Scoping Study. The main areas of relevance and work for
Niagara was in the areas of:
product transport logistics;
mine infrastructure;
mine planning;
product characterisation; and
financial evaluation.

Simandou North Iron Project11
The Simandou North project is located immediately north of Simandou, the world’s largest high grade iron ore
development now being commissioned12 (Figure 2). Approximately 40 kilometres of strike of the prospective
Simandou Formation is interpreted to extend into the Company’s Simandou North license (Figure 2) which has
been validated by an extensive field mapping and rock chip sampling campaign.
The Simandou North project comes within 25km of the rail construction corridor (Figure 2) which presents a
unique opportunity for Arrow to gain future access to this rail infrastructure under the government’s mandate
that the rail will be available for third party use.
Figure 2. Simandou North Iron Project and adjacency to the combined Simandou Project and
associated rail infrastructure (Trans-Guinean Railway – TGR) which is currently being commissioned by its
developer.
The Company has previously announced an Exploration Target13 for the Simandou North Iron Project based
on exploration work completed during 2024.
11 Exploration Permit Renewal: As a result of various statements by government spokespersons in Guinea, there is significant uncertainty
regarding the status of the Simandou North Iron Project tenement.

Cautionary Statement:
The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient
exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of
a Mineral Resource.
On 21 October 2024 the Company announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with
Baosteel Resources Holding (shanghai) Co., Ltd. (Baosteel)14, providing a framework for potential mine gate
sales of iron ore from Simandou North to Baosteel15. The MoU is non-binding and remains subject to
clarification of tenure, and subsequently Arrow's resource and reserve estimation, completion of studies on the
project, project development, and negotiation and execution of definitive agreements. This important strategic
partnership will leverage complementary strengths and resources, including future access to the Simandou
port, rail, and markets, to advance the potential development of Arrow’s iron ore and bauxite projects.
Exploration Permit Renewal
As a result of various statements in May 2025 by government spokespersons in Guinea which were reported
in the media, there is ongoing uncertainty regarding the status of the Simandou North Iron Project tenement.
The completion and announcement of the results of the scoping study level estimate of process plant capital
cost and operating cost for the Simandou North Iron Project is subject to the Company obtaining clarification
on the status of its exploration permit, along with redisclosure of the Exploration Target13.
Metallurgical Testwork & Process Plant Scoping Study Work
As at 31 December 2025, the Company completed the next phase of metallurgical testwork for Simandou
North. This testwork is an extension of testwork completed in December 2024 (announced January 202516),
whereby production scale spiral testwork has been completed along with product characterisation work on the
resulting spiral streams, for each of the friable and intact oxide BIF mineralisation types.
The testwork was completed in parallel to a process plant scoping study level package of work completed by
Mineral Technologies. Key deliverables included mass balance, process description, preliminary block flow
diagrams, and Class 5 capital and operating cost estimates made in accordance with the AACE International
Cost Estimate Classification System. The process plant study utilised results from the most recent metallurgical
testwork and that of previous testwork.
As noted above, the announcement of the results of the most recent metallurgical testwork and the outcomes
of the process plant study are subject to the Company obtaining clarification on the status of its exploration
permit.
Exploration
Exploration work for the year ended 31 December 2025 focused on the collection of bulk density data from
drill core, the ongoing interpretation of existing drilling and geochemical data, and the refinement of geological
models for targeting of future drilling.
Community, Safety and Environment
The Company is pleased to report that, during the year, there were no lost-time injuries or material breaches
of safety management systems at either Niagara or Simandou North. The Company maintained its policy of

proactive engagement and consultation with host communities and ensured that all affected communities were
promptly notified of the curtailment of activities pending clarification regarding tenure.
Following the curtailment, for the second half of the year, the Company continued to employ seven personnel,
all of whom are Guinean nationals. This underscores the Company’s ongoing commitment to providing
employment opportunities for Guineans wherever possible.
Corporate
As previously stated, preserving cash is of utmost importance, and the Company has already implemented
broad cost cutting and restructuring measures. These measures included non-executive directors deferring
the payment of their total fixed remuneration and the Managing Director deferring half his total fixed
remuneration. Remaining executives and employees have also contributed to significant reductions in salary.
Other corporate overheads have all been reviewed and reduced where possible. All project specific
employment was terminated effective 30 June 2025, pending clarification of tenure. As a result, the Company
has not retained any field personnel in Guinea (other than the aforementioned seven) as part of these tough
but necessary decisions.
Equity
On 2 January 2025, Shareholders of the Company approved the consolidation of issued capital on the basis
of every 20 shares consolidated into 1 share. The 31 December 2024 comparative has been adjusted to reflect
the consolidated share capital.
On 29 January 2025, a two tranche placement was announced and resulted in the issue of 190,276,318 fully
paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.038.
On 7 February 2025, 2,500,000 zero priced options were exercised.
On 30 June 2025, the Company settled the $500,000 deferred consideration by the issue of 23,809,524 fully
paid ordinary shares to the vendors of the Simandou North Project.
Material Business Risks
The Board of Directors review the key risks associated with conducting exploration and evaluation activities
and steps to manage those risks. The key materials risks faced by the Group include:
Tenure, Access and Grant of Applications
Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. The renewal of the term of granted
tenements is subject to compliance with the applicable mining legislation and regulations and the discretion of
the relevant mining authority. Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments
or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to
meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the
Company.
The Company considers the potential for foreign tenure forfeiture as a material risk in its ongoing operations
and incorporates this assessment into its strategic planning and risk management framework. Management
evaluates political, legal and regulatory conditions in the relevant jurisdictions, together with the Company’s
ability to comply with local tenure requirements.
The Operating Review provides detailed commentary on the specific risks presently affecting the Company’s
operations in Guinea.
Resource Estimation
Mineral resource estimates represent professional judgements based on geological knowledge, experience,
and industry‑standard practices. Resource estimates that were considered reliable when originally reported
may change materially as new information, improved modelling techniques or shifts in commodity prices arise.
8
By their nature, mineral resource estimates are imprecise and rely on geological interpretations that may
ultimately prove inaccurate. Although the Company applies industry‑standard estimation methodologies,
including adherence to the JORC Code, these measures cannot eliminate estimation uncertainty.
As additional fieldwork, drilling, sampling, and analysis are undertaken, mineral resource estimates may be
revised. Such revisions may require changes to mine plans, development strategies or economic
assessments, which could negatively impact the Company’s operations.
The Company intends to continue exploration and development activities aimed at expanding current mineral
resources and converting them to ore reserves; however, there is no assurance that these objectives will be
achieved.
Furthermore, the identification of mineral resources does not guarantee that the resources can be economically
extracted. Failure to convert mineral resources to ore reserves, or to maintain or improve current resource
estimates, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, operating
performance and future prospects.
Commodity Price
Commodity prices are inherently volatile and are influenced by factors outside the Company’s control, including
global supply and demand dynamics, technological developments in alternative energy sources, geopolitical
events in producing or consuming regions, macroeconomic conditions, and currency fluctuations. Competition
from substitute minerals, as well as public perceptions relating to environmental or safety considerations, may
also reduce demand. There is no assurance that a sustained or profitable market will exist for the commodity
products produced from the Company’s assets.
Future Funding
Continued exploration and evaluation are dependent on the Company being able to secure future funding from
equity markets. The Company will need to undertake equity/debt raisings for continued exploration and
evaluation. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all at the
relevant time. Any inability to obtain sufficient financing for the Group’s activities and future projects may result
in the delay or cancellation of certain activities or projects, which would likely adversely affect the potential
growth of the Group.
Exploration
The mineral exploration licences are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should
understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings.
There can be no assurance that future exploration of these licences, or any other mineral licences that may
be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic resource. Even if an apparently viable
resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological
conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns or adverse weather conditions,
unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and
equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect
extraction costs, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages and
increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant, equipment and staff, native title process, land
access, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.
The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company being able to maintain title to the mineral
exploration licences and obtaining all required approvals for their contemplated activities. If exploration
programs prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of the Projects, a reduction in
the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of one or more of the mineral exploration
licences comprising the Projects.
9
Unforeseen Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditures and development expenditures may increase significantly above
existing projected costs. Although the Group is not currently aware of any such additional expenditure
requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may adversely affect the expenditure
proposals of the Group and its proposed business plans.
Environmental, Weather and Climate Change
The highest priority climate related risks include reduced water availability, extreme weather events, changes
to legislation and regulation, reputational risk, and technological and market changes. Mining and exploration
activities have inherent risks and liabilities associated with safety and damage to the environment, including
the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production, giving rise to
potentially substantial costs for environmental rehabilitation, damage control and losses. Delays in obtaining
approval for any additional remediation costs could affect profitable development of resources.
Cyber Security and IT
The Group relies on IT infrastructure and systems and the efficient and uninterrupted operation of core
technologies. Systems and operations could be exposed to damage or interruption from system failures,
computer viruses, cyber-attacks, power or telecommunication provider’s failure or human error.
10
MINERAL RESOURCE AND RESERVE STATEMENT
The Company's Mineral Resources are reported under the 2012 edition of the "Australasian Code for Reporting
of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves" (JORC Code).
Due to the uncertainty regarding the status of the Niagara Bauxite Project tenement, the Company is not
reporting a Mineral Resource for the Niagara Project until the status of the permits is resolved. The Company
remains actively engaged with the Ministry of Mines and Geology in Guinea, as well as other relevant
authorities, to seek clarification on the status of the permits and will reassess if there are any material changes
in circumstances.
Comparison with Previous Year
There was no Mineral Resource estimate (MRE) estimated for Niagara in the previous year in accordance with
the JORC Code.
Governance of Resources
The Company engages employees, external consultants and competent persons (as determined pursuant to
the JORC Code) to assist with the preparation and calculation of estimates for its mineral resources.
Management and the Board review these estimates and underlying assumptions for reasonableness and
accuracy. The results of the MRE are then reported in accordance with the requirements of the JORC Code
and other applicable rules (including ASX Listing Rules). Where material changes occur during the year to a
project, including the project’s size, title, exploration results or other technical information, previous MRE and
market disclosures are reviewed for completeness. The Company reviews its MRE annually each year, for
inclusion in the Company’s Annual Report. If a material change has occurred in the assumptions or data used
in previously reported mineral resources, where possible a revised MRE will be prepared as part of the annual
review process. However, there are circumstances where this may not be possible (e.g. an ongoing drilling
programme), in which case a revised MRE will be prepared and reported as soon as practicable.

the current year.
15
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
Subsequent to year end, in February 2026, the Directors resolved to settle the after-tax portion of their deferred
remuneration in shares, with the actual number of shares to be issued based on the after‑tax amount (subject to
shareholder approval) (refer to the Remuneration Report for further details). The number of shares to be issued will
be determined based on an issue price relative to market once trading of the Company’s shares resumes.
No other matters or circumstances have occurred subsequent to balance date that have or may significantly affect
the operations or state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS
The Group’s activities during the year were focused on managing its existing projects in West Africa and engaging
with relevant authorities in the Republic of Guinea in relation to the status of its mineral tenure, as outlined in the
Operating Review. During the year, Arrow also reviewed a number of potential exploration opportunities in additional
jurisdictions.

REMUNERATION PHILOSOPHY
The performance of the Company depends on the qualifications of the directors and executives. The philosophy of
the Company in determining remuneration levels is to set competitive remuneration packages to attract and retain high
calibre employees and to link a significant component of executive rewards to shareholder value creation. The size,
nature and financial strength of the Company are also taken into account when setting remuneration levels so as to
ensure that the operations of the Company remain sustainable.
REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
The Board performs the role of the Remuneration Committee and is responsible for determining and reviewing
compensation arrangements for the directors, the Managing Director and any executives.
REMUNERATION STRUCTURE
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive and executive remuneration is
separate and distinct.
Non-executive Director Remuneration
The Board recognises the importance of attracting and retaining talented non-executive directors and aims to
remunerate these directors in line with fees paid to directors of companies of a similar size and complexity in the mining
and exploration industry. The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with
the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.
The Company’s Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate fees to be paid to non-executive
directors for their role as a director are to be approved by shareholders at a general meeting. The latest determination
was at the 2025 AGM, whereby Shareholders approved an aggregate amount of up to $500,000 per year (including
17
superannuation). The amount of total compensation apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually and the
Board considers external advice as well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when
undertaking the annual review process.
The remuneration of non-executive directors consists of directors’ fees. Each director receives a fee for being a director
of the Company. The non-executive directors are not entitled to receive retirement benefits and, at the discretion of
the Board, may participate in the Employee Securities Incentive Scheme (“Scheme”), subject to the usual approvals
required by shareholders.
The Board considers it may be appropriate to issue options to non-executive directors given the current nature and
size of the Company as, until profits are generated, conservation of cash reserves remains a high priority. Any options
issued to directors will require separate shareholder approval.
Principles of Executive Remuneration
The Company’s executive remuneration strategy is designed to attract, motivate and retain high performance
individuals and align the interests of executives and shareholders. Remuneration consists of fixed remuneration and
variable remuneration (comprising short-term and long-term incentive schemes).
Fixed Remuneration
Fixed remuneration is reviewed as required by the Board by a process which consists of a review of relevant
comparative remuneration in the market and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices.
Variable Remuneration
2026 Short Term Incentive Scheme
As at the date of this report, no short‑term incentives have been issued in respect of the year ended 31 December
2026.

iii) Advance a Niagara Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) in accordance with Board approved

When is it paid?
The STI award is typically determined after the end of the year, following an assessment of all
the objectives. However, if the Board has all the necessary information to make an informed
assessment earlier, it has the discretion to approve and award one or more KPI’s ahead of year
end.
What happens if

Where a Participant becomes a Leaver, all unvested awards will automatically be forfeited by
the Participant unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some of all of
the awards to vest.

Link Between Performance and Executive Remuneration
Executive remuneration is aimed at aligning the strategic and business objectives with the creation of shareholder
wealth. The table below shows measures of the Group’s financial performance over the last five years as required by
the Act. However, these are not necessarily consistent with the measures used in determining the variable amounts
of remuneration to be awarded to KMP. As a consequence, there may not always be a direct correlation between the
statutory key performance measures and the variable remuneration awarded.

1The total value of performance rights lapsed was $20,300.
There is no value included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income associated with the Performance Rights issued
to Key Management Personnel as the probability that these will vest is considered less than 50%.
Performance milestones are as follows:
T1 – Financial Investment Decision (FID) on a Company Project by 31 December 2027.
T2 – First commercial sale of a Company product by 31 December 2027.
Performance rights issued allow the holder the right to one fully paid ordinary share. Any performance right not
exercised before the expiry date will lapse on the expiry date. Performance rights granted carry no dividend or voting
rights.
There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the performance rights and the holders will not be entitled
to participate in new issues of capital offered to shareholders during the currency of the performance rights. All shares
allotted upon the exercise of the performance rights will rank pari passu in all respect with other shares.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Corporate Information & Basis of Preparation
1.
CORPORATE INFORMATION
The Financial report of Arrow Minerals Limited (the Company or Arrow) consists of the financial statements, notes
to the financial statements and the directors’ declaration.
Arrow Minerals Limited is a company incorporated and domiciled in Australia, limited by shares, and is a for profit
entity whose shares are publicly traded on the ASX. The Company’s registered office and principal place of
business is Unit 4, 38 Colin Street, West Perth WA 6005. The Company is principally engaged in exploration in
West Africa.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the attached Directors’ Report.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the consolidated
financial report and by all entities in the Group.
These are for-profit general purpose financial statements and have been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board,
Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.
2.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial report was authorised for issue in accordance with a Resolution of the Directors on 8 March 2026.
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. Comparatives have been reclassified as required for consistency with the current year’s presentation.
(a)
Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards
The financial statements of the Company also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards
as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
(b)
Historical Cost Convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and on an accrual’s
basis (except for certain financial assets and liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has
been applied).
(c)
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates – the functional currency. The financial statements are presented
in Australian dollars, which is Arrow’s functional and presentation currency.
(d)
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain estimates, judgements and
assumptions that affect the application of the Company’s accounting policies. Actual results may differ
from these estimates and application of different assumptions and estimates may have a significant
impact on the Company’s net assets and financial results.
Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on the latest available
information at each reporting date. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in
which the estimate is revised. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas
where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are found in the following
notes:
i)
Note 16 Income tax expense
The future recoverability of the carried forward tax losses are dependent upon the Group’s ability
to generate taxable profits in the future in the same tax jurisdiction in which the losses arise. This
Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
31
is also subject to determinations and assessments made by the taxation authorities. The
recognition of a deferred tax asset on carried forward tax losses (in excess of taxable temporary
differences) is dependent on management’s assessment of these two factors. The ultimate
recoupment and the benefit of these tax losses could differ materially from management’s
assessment.
ii)
Note 8 Acquired exploration and evaluation
The application of the exploration and evaluation accounting policy necessarily requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances.
Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after
having capitalised expenditure under the policy, it is concluded that the expenditures are unlikely
to be recovered by future exploitation or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written
off to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
iii)
Note 18 Share-based payments
The fair values of Options and Performance Rights are determined using option pricing models
that consider the exercise price, the term of the option or right, the impact of dilution, the share
price at valuation date, expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend
yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. Judgement has been exercised on
the probability and timing of achieving the performance metrics related to the Options and
Performance Rights.
(e)
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group
will continue its normal business activities, realise its assets, and meet its obligations as and when they
fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this report.
The Group has incurred a net loss after tax for the year ended 31 December 2025 of $11,805,424 (31
December 2024: $23,756,930) and a net cash outflow from operating and investing activities of
$6,296,633 (31 December 2024: net outflow $15,946,249). Net assets of the Group as at 31 December
2025 were $1,782,529 (31 December 2024: $5,717,132). Cash and cash equivalents as at 31 December
2025 were $2,589,918 (31 December 2024: $2,207,307).
With no operating revenue, the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern beyond the next twelve
months is dependent on securing additional funding to support its exploration activities and meet ongoing
operational and corporate expenditure.
As at the date of this report, the Company’s shares remain suspended from quotation on the ASX due to
uncertainty surrounding the status of its project exploration permits in Guinea. This suspension
significantly limits the Group’s ability to raise capital or secure debt funding. The going concern
assumption is therefore contingent upon the successful reinstatement of the Company's securities to
quotation on the ASX, which would enable the Group to access additional sources of funding.
In response to this uncertainty, the Group has implemented a range of cost-reduction measures aimed at
preserving cash and extending its financial runway. These include the suspension of all on-ground
exploration activities in Guinea, significant reductions in corporate overheads, the deferral of director
salaries, reductions in key management salaries, and the renegotiation or termination of non-essential
supplier contracts.
The Directors are actively engaging with the Guinean authorities to seek clarity regarding the status of
the permits. While the outcome remains uncertain, they are focused on ensuring that the Group is well-
positioned to meet the necessary conditions for reinstatement.
Subject to a successful resolution, the Directors believe the Group will be able to secure adequate funding
to support its planned activities beyond the next twelve months.
However, these events and conditions give rise to a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt
on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern beyond twelve months from the date of this report.
Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
32
Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of asset amounts, or the amounts and classification of liabilities, that might be necessary
should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.
Should the Group be unable to raise further debt or capital beyond the next twelve months, a material
uncertainty would exist as to whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern, and it may
be required to realise assets and extinguish liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, with
amounts realised potentially differing from those stated in the financial statements.
3.
SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based payments with employees and others providing similar services are measured
at the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. Fair value of shares is measured by reference
to the quoted market price. Fair value of options is measured by use of valuation techniques. The
expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects
of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually
vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its
estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original
estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised
estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity settled employee benefits reserve.
(b)
Earnings per share
Basic earnings/loss per share – is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to equity holders of
the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary
shares issued during the period.
Diluted Earnings/Loss per Share – adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings/loss
per share to consider 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.
(c)
Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income
based on the notional income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted for by changes in deferred tax assets
and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.
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 which are enacted
or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative
amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability.
An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a
liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they
arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect
either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.
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.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying
amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the
timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse
Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
33
in the foreseeable future.
Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also
recognised directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax
assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the taxation authority
and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
For the purposes of income tax legislation, the Company and its 100% controlled Australian entities have
elected to form a tax consolidated group. Therefore, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the
deferred tax assets and liability of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements.
(d)
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Assets acquired
Exploration and evaluation assets acquired are capitalised and typically comprise the fair value of mineral
rights acquired at the acquisition date. As the assets are not yet ready for use, they are not depreciated.
Expenditure incurred
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is expensed in respect of each identifiable area of interest
until such a time where a JORC 2012 compliant resource is announced in relation to the identifiable area
of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped
through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have yet reached a stage
which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Transfer of capitalised exploration and evaluation to mine development
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the assets are demonstrable, exploration and
evaluation assets are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mine properties as development
assets. The value of the Company’s interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon:
the continuance of the Company’s rights to tenure of the areas of interest;
the result of future exploration; and
the recoupment of cost through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest,
or alternatively, by their sale.
(e)
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for
impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation 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.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the
purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately
identifiable cash inflows (cash generating units).
(f)
Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability
or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial Liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except where the
instrument is classified as fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), in which case transaction costs are
immediately recognised as expenses in profit or loss.
Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025
34
Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities classified as held-for-trading, contingent consideration payable by the group for the
acquisition of a business, and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at fair
value. All other financial liabilities recognised by the group are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s
functional currency and the presentation currency of the Group.
Translation of foreign operations:
As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into the presentation
currency at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date and the statement of comprehensive income,
statement of cash flows and statement of changes in equity are translated at the average exchange rates
for the year. The exchange differences arising on the retranslation are recognised in other comprehensive
income and accumulated balances are carried forward as a separate component of equity. On disposal
of a foreign operation, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular
foreign operation is recognised in the income statement.
Translation of foreign loans:
Loans from the parent entity to its Burkina Faso foreign operations are denominated in Central African
Francs (XOF). They are initially recognised in the parent entity Statement of Financial Position at the spot
rate on the date of transaction. Loan balances are translated into the presentation currency at the
exchange rate ruling at each reporting date, and exchange differences arising on the translation of
intercompany loans is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Cash preservation remains a strategic priority for the Company as it navigates current market conditions. In
response, a broad suite of cost reduction and restructuring initiatives were implemented at the beginning of
September 2025 quarter. These include the full deferral of fixed remuneration by non-executive directors and a
50% deferral by the Managing Director. Senior executives and staff have also agreed to meaningful salary
reductions. Corporate overheads have been systematically reviewed and scaled back wherever feasible.
Furthermore, all project-specific roles were concluded as of 30 June 2025, pending clarity on future project
timelines. As part of these prudent measures, the Company has not retained any field personnel in Guinea other
than security at the Kérouané compound.

Impairment of Acquired Exploration and Evaluation
During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Company became aware of media announcements by Guinean
government spokespersons regarding the cancellation of numerous exploration permits. The permits relating to
the Niagara Bauxite and Simandou North Iron (Simandou North) Projects were included in two separate media
announcements as pending cancellation or withdrawal. The Company continues to investigate these reports
and is actively seeking formal clarification from the relevant authorities.
As a result of the uncertainty over tenure, the Company has made the decision to scale down all exploration
activities in Guinea. This includes a substantial reduction in associated exploration overheads. Consequently,
no substantive expenditure on further exploration for mineral resources is neither budgeted nor planned.
The acquired exploration and evaluation asset relates to the Simandou North project. Due to the uncertainty
over tenure and the absence of planned substantive exploration activities, the carrying value has been assess
for impairment. As a result, a full impairment has been recognised, reducing the carrying value of the asset to
$nil.
Acquisition of Amalgamated Minerals
On 26 March 2024, the Group acquired the remaining 66.7% of the shares and voting rights in Amalgamated
Minerals Pte Ltd, taking its interest to 100%. The consideration for this acquisition was $2,500,000, of which
$2,000,000 was paid in cash, and $500,000 paid in shares.
These financial statements include the results of Amalgamated Minerals Pte Ltd for the period from the date of
acquisition of control (26 March 2024).

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Overview
The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:
credit risk
liquidity risk
market risk
This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, its objectives, policies
and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. The Board has overall
responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Management monitors
and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through regular reviews of the risks.
(a)
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to
meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from receivables from customers and cash and cash
equivalents.
Substantial cash balances are held with recognised institutions with credit rating A-3 or above as a way of limiting
the exposure to credit risk. There are no formal credit approval processes in place, however the Company deals
only with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group’s
maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:
31 Dec 2025
$
31 Dec 2024
$
Cash and cash equivalents

2,207,307
Trade and other receivables
28,064
161,186
2,617,982
2,368,493
Financial assets are neither past due nor impaired.
(b)
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 have 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.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and by continuously monitoring forecast
and actual cash flows.
Typically, the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for
a period of 60 days, including the servicing of financial obligations.
The Group has no access to credit standby facilities or arrangements for further funding or borrowings in place.
The maturity profiles of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities are:

Minerals Pte. Ltd. This was settled by the issue of 23,809,524 fully paid ordinary shares on 30 June 2025.
2 Subsequent to year end, the Company raised approximately $7.0 million via a placement in early January
2025.
The maturity profile disclosed are the contractual undiscounted cashflows.
(c)
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of
financial instruments.
Foreign currency risk:
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk through funding of exploration activities in West Africa in Guinea
Francs (GNF), Central African Francs (XOF) (pegged to the EUR), and USD denominated payments. The
exposure is not considered material.
Interest rate risk:
The Group’s maximum exposure to interest rates at the reporting date was:

The Group holds the majority of its cash and cash equivalents within a current account attracting a weighted
interest rate of 2.35% pa (2024: 3.00% pa).
Movement of 100 basis points on interest rate (considered a reasonably possible change) would not have a
material impact on the Group’s loss or equity.
(d)
Capital management policy
The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence
and to sustain future development of the business.
There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the period. Neither the Company
nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The Group defines capital as
cash and cash equivalents plus equity. The Board monitors its capital base continually. No formal targets are
in place for return on capital or gearing ratios as the Group has not derived any income from their mineral
exploration.

CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Contingent Assets
The Group retains a 1% Net Smelter Royalty in lithium, tantalum and caesium minerals on Exploration Licence
E47/3476.
Contingent Liabilities
Simandou North Iron Project
On 26 March 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 66.7% interest in Amalgamated (held
beneficially), with the vendors retaining a US$1/t royalty on tonnes mined and sold from its subsidiary’s tenement.
Niagara Bauxite Project
On 1 August 2024, the Company announced it had entered into a Share Purchase Option Agreement, whereby
the Vendor granted a 12-month option to acquire the Niagara Bauxite Project.
The initial option fee consisted of $200,000 in cash and 3,333,333 fully paid ordinary shares. This initial option
fee is payable to the Vendor following the renewal of the Mining Permit associated with this project, for at least 2
years. The 12-month option period commences upon payment of the Option fee.
Within the 12-month option period, the Company may elect to exercise the option to purchase the outstanding
share capital from the Vendor by completing the following:
1.
Payment of $2,000,000 in cash, which the Company can elect to settled partially or fully in shares, with the
issue of 33,333,333 fully paid ordinary shares, at an issue price of $0.060 per share. Any shares issued will
require shareholder approval and contain voluntary escrow arrangements.
2.
The grant of a 1% gross sales royalty on bauxite produced from the permit area.
Further, the Company has agreed to pay the Vendor up to $4,000,000 in two equal payments upon the satisfaction
of the following:
1.
$2,000,000 in cash payable upon the Company announcing a JORC Mineral Resource estimate of at least
150Mt of bauxite at an average grade of at least 42% AI2O3 from the project (Milestone 1); and
2.
$2,000,000 in cash payable upon the Company announcing a JORC Mineral Resource estimate of at least
300Mt of bauxite at an average grade of at least 42% AI2O3 from the project (Milestone 2).
On 25 March 2025, the Company declared a JORC Mineral Resource estimate exceeding the threshold specified
in Milestone 1, thereby triggering the associated payment obligation. However, on 21 July 2025, the Company
entered into an agreement with the vendor under which the payment becomes due only upon renewal of the
relevant permit. As at the date of this report, the status of the tenure remains uncertain.
The Group had no other contingent assets or liabilities at reporting date.

COMMITMENTS
Given the uncertain status of the Group’s exploration permits, the Group has no exploration and evaluation
commitments to disclose.
23.
NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS
The Group has adopted all the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the
Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are relevant to its operations and effective for an accounting
period that begins on or after 1 January 2026.
Set out below are the new and revised Standards and amendments thereof effective for future years that are
relevant for the Group.
Pronouncement
Impact
Presentation and
Disclosure in Financial
Statements (AASB 118)
Effective 1 January 2027
AASB 118 replaces AASB 11 and introduces new categories and subtotals in the
statement of profit or loss. It also requires disclosure of management defined
performance measures and includes new requirements for the location,
aggregation and disaggregation of financial information.
The application of this standard is not expected to have a material
impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
AASB 2024-2
Amendments to the
Classification and
Measurement of Financial
Instruments
Effective 1 January 2026
This amending standard amends AASB 9 Financial Instruments and AASB 7
Financial Instruments: Disclosures to clarify how the contractual cash flows from
financial assets should be assessed when determining their classification. The
amendment also clarifies the derecognition requirements of financial liabilities that
are settled through electronic payment systems.
The application of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the
Group’s consolidated financial statements.
AASB 2024-3
Amendments to
Australian Accounting
Standards – Annual
Impairments Volume 11
Effective 1 January 2026
The annual improvements process deals with non-urgent, but necessary,
clarifications and amendments to accounting standards.
The application of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the
Group’s consolidated financial statements.
AASB 2025-2
Amendments to
Australian Accounting
Standards – Classification
and Measurement of
Financial Instruments:
Tier 2 Disclosures
Effective 1 January 2026
This amending standard requires a Tier 2 entity to disclose information about
financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic
lending risk and costs so that financial statement users can better understand the
effect of contractual terms that could change the amount of contractual cash flows.
The application of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the
Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Subsidiaries without
Public Accountability:
Disclosures (AASB 119)
Effective 1 January 2027
AASB 119 allows eligible entities to elect to apply reduced disclosure
requirements while still applying the recognition, measurement and presentation
requirements in other AASB accounting standards.
The application of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the
Group’s consolidated financial statements.
24.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to year end, in February 2026, the Directors resolved to settle the after-tax portion of their deferred
remuneration in shares (refer to Remuneration Report for further details), with the actual number of shares to be
issued based on the after‑tax amount (subject to shareholder approval). The number of shares to be issued will
be determined based on an issue price relative to market once trading of the Company’s shares resumes.
No other matters or circumstances have occurred subsequent to balance date that have or may significantly affect
the operations or state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years.

CONSOLIDATED ENTITY DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
Arrow Minerals Limited (the ‘head entity’) and its wholly owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income
tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime.
Key Assumptions and Judgements: Determination of Tax Residency
Section 295(3A) Corporations Act requires that the tax residency of each entity, which is included in the
Consolidated Entity Disclosure (CEDS) be disclosed. In the context of an entity which was an Australian resident,
‘Australian resident’ has the meaning provided in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth). The determination
of tax residency involves judgement as the termination of tax residency is highly fact dependent and there are
currently several different interpretations that could be adopted, and which could give rise to a different conclusion
on residency.
In determining tax residency, the Group has applied the following interpretations:
Australian tax residency
The Group has applied current legislation and judicial precedent, including having regard to the Commissioner of
Taxation’s public guidance in Tax Ruling TR2018/5.
Foreign tax residency
The Group has applied current legislation and where available judicial precedent in the determination of foreign
tax residency. Where necessary, the Group has used tax advisers with affiliated offices in foreign jurisdictions to
assist in its determination of tax residency to ensure applicable foreign tax legislation has been complied with.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Members of Arrow Minerals Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Arrow Minerals Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities
(“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025,
the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of
changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial
statements, including material accounting policy information, the consolidated entity disclosure statement
and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act
2001, including:
(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2025 and of its financial
performance for the year then ended; and
(b) 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 Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements
of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical
Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence
Standards) (“the Code”) that are relevant to audits of the financial report of public interest entities in Australia.
We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 2(e) in the financial report, which indicates that a material uncertainty exists that
may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. 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.
54
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.
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the key audit
matter
Carrying Value of Acquired exploration and evaluation assets
In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and
Evaluation of Mineral Resources, the Group capitalises
acquisition costs and expenses further exploration and
evaluation expenditure as incurred. These capitalised
balances are carried at cost and are subject to
impairment when facts and circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount may exceed the recoverable
amount.
During the year, the Group recognised an impairment
charge of $5,376,737 against its exploration and
evaluation assets bring the total down to $Nil. This
impairment was recognised following management’s
assessment of indicators including suspension of
tenements.
Our audit focussed on the Group’s assessment of the
carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation
assets, including whether indicators of impairment
existed and whether the impairment recognised was
appropriate. The impairment recognised is significant in
size and has a direct impact on the users’ understanding
of the financial position and performance of the Group,
including the recoverability of exploration assets and the
prospects of those projects. Given the judgement
involved and the importance of this impairment to users,
we considered this to be a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included but were not
limited to the following:
-
We obtained an understanding of the key
processes
associated
with
management’s review of the carrying
value of acquired exploration and
evaluation assets;
-
We
considered
the
Directors’
assessment of potential indicators of
impairment in addition to making our own
assessment;
-
We obtained evidence that the Group
does not have current rights to tenure of
its areas of interest;
-
We considered the nature and extent of
planned ongoing activities; and
-
For the impairment recognised, we
assessed the reasonableness of the
basis for recognition, including the key
facts and circumstances that led to the
impairment.
-
We assessed the appropriateness of the
disclosures in the financial report.
-
We evaluated whether the impairment
and
related
judgements
were
appropriately disclosed in the financial
report in accordance with AASB 6 and
AASB 136.
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2025, 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, 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.
55
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of:
(a) the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) 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:
(a) the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair
view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
(b) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct 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 have 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 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement
and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
−
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
−
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
−
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
−
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we
56
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to
the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
−
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures,
and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats
or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about
the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected
to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
