REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Exploration and Evaluation BYRO BASE METALS PROJECT Milly Milly Intrusion (Cu/Ni/PGE) Potential structural flow dynamics within the Milly Milly intrusion warrant an infill gravity survey planned to further define the anomaly. Gaps in ground EM data have also been highlighted warranting further moving loop EM data acquisition. Review of diamond drill hole AHDH0007 drilled outside the interpreted intrusion boundary targeting a gravity anomaly. The hole remained in ultramafic to end of hole and showed variable geochemistry including sections of primitive ultramafic with signs of metal depletion towards the end of hole. Moonborough Intrusion (Cu/Ni/PGE) Recent appraisal of the central Byro, Moonborough Intrusion demonstrates compelling exploration potential. The project is at a greenfield stage hosting a significant gravity anomaly coincident with 10-year-old VTEM anomalies and drilling which intersected an ultramafic. Geophysical Review of Electromagnetic Anomalism Athena Resources Limited has completed assessment of the Byro Base Metal Project. Assessment included a detailed review of Electromagnetic Anomalism within the Byro tenements in cooperation with Southern Geoscience Consultants, announced on the ASX Platform on 23/03/2021. The Review covered all historic exploration results and electromagnetic surveys including a ground GeoFerret fixed loop, time domain electromagnetic survey, (FLTEM); an airborne versatile time domain electromagnetic survey, (VTEM); ground moving loop, time domain electromagnetic surveys, (MLTEM); and down hole electromagnetic surveys, (DHEM). Athena Resources Limited Page 4 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) The review highlighted that the historical high priority areas covered had clear inherent problems, notably: ➢ FLTEM and MLTEM ground surveys had severe IP/SPM effects in the inloop responses. The FLTEM data also only surveyed single loop locations and as such, some potential conductors’ geometries would have been poorly coupled and likely undetectable if present. ➢ VTEM was deemed partly ineffective in places due to noise from conductive regolith, Induced Polarization (IP) and superparamagnetic effects (SPM), masking late time responses. ➢ Follow up ground EM was not completed on recognised VTEM anomalies. ➢ Drilling to date has not effectively tested the anomalies Results from the review have confirmed six base metal target areas with anomalous, moderate to strong, mid and late time responses. It was recommended by Southern Geoscience Consultants to use a high power ~100-200A, low base frequency, HT SQUID Bfield sensor and optimal slingram sensor offset to overcome any IP/SPM issues in the near surface and provide low noise surveying over all six target areas. Work on all aspects of exploration to date support the prospective potential of the six ineffectively or untested EM anomalies so far identified. HP MLTEM Surveys as specified by Southern Geoscience Consultants commenced during June and were completed in August. BYRO INDUSTRIAL MAGNETITE PROJECT During the period under review Athena has undertaken additional test work defining the magnetic characteristic of the Byro Industrial Magnetite. The results of this confirm the suitability for retrieval and re-use in multiple industrial processing applications. Further work has been conducted to confirm suitability for dense media separation for the coal washing industry. The product is well within international specifications. The test work to date confirms the Athena product is suited to relatively high value markets as opposed to steel making, which sets it apart from other typical Mid-West deposits. A small amount of by product may be sent to steel mills for blending with lower grade ore. Market research on uses for high purity magnetite indicates that there is a significant offtake opportunity for the Athena product in a number of industries. During the current season Athena intends to conduct further drilling at Byro to upgrade the 2004 JORC compliant Inferred Resource to Indicated both in tonnage and to the revised 2012 JORC Code. Athena Resources Limited Page 5 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) Corporate The Company’s Shares have been suspended from trading since 13 August 2019.

Athena Resources Limited Page 20 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Statement of Compliance The financial statements are general purpose financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations and complies with other requirements of the law. The financial statements have also been prepared on a historical cost basis. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity. The financial report is presented in whole Australian dollars. The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the commercial realisation of the Group’s assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently applied to all of the years presented unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the Group consisting of Athena Resources and its subsidiaries. Basis of Preparation This report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The Company is domiciled in Australia and all amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. Reporting Basis and Conventions (Going Concern) The financial report has been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the commercial realisation of the future potential of Athena’s assets and the discharge of its liabilities in the normal course of business. On 15 July 2021 a Prospectus was lodged with ASX and ASIC which contains an offer for a non- renounceable entitlement issue of one (1) Share for every one (1) Share held by those Shareholders registered at the Record Date at an issue price of $0.008 per Share to raise up to $2,888,270. The Company entered an underwriting agreement with CPS Capital dated 23 June 2021 for CPS Capital to fully underwrite the Offer. Upon completion of the rights issue offer on 10 August 2021 together with the $304,000 raised on 25 June 2021, the Company has raised a total of $3,192,270 (before costs). Significant accounting judgements and key estimates 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. Athena Resources Limited Page 21 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 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 amount Mineral exploration and evaluation (Note 8) within the next financial year are discussed below. Exploration and evaluation costs Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the consolidated entity will commence commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the mineral resources. 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. Adoption of New and Revised Standards In the year ended 30 June 2021, the directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group’s operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2020. It has been determined by the directors that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised standards and interpretations on the Group’s business and therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies. The directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2021. As a result of this review the directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group’s business and, therefore, no change necessary to Group accounting policies. Segment Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board of Athena Resources Limited. Accounting Policies (a) Principles of Consolidation A controlled entity is any entity controlled by Athena Resources Limited. Control exists where Athena Resources Limited has the capacity to dominate the decision making in relation to the financial and operating policies of another entity so that the other entity operates with Athena Resources Limited to achieve the objectives of Athena Resources Limited. All controlled entities have a 30 June financial year-end. All intercompany balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated entity, including any unrealised profit or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of Athena Resources Limited Page 22 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity. Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, their operating results have been included from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased. (b) Income Tax The charge for current income tax expenses is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowable items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the balance date. Deferred tax is accounted for in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised, or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the statement of comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. (c) Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future consolidated benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred. (d) Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including capitalised lease assets, but excluding computers, is depreciated on a reducing balance commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Computers are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Athena Resources Limited Page 23 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 Class of Fixed Asset Plant and Equipment Depreciation Rate 15 – 50% The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to accumulated losses. (e) Mineral Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is either written off as incurred or accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. Tenement acquisition costs are initially capitalised. Costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the areas, sale of the respective areas of interest or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage, which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full in the year in which the decision to abandon the areas is made. When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs necessitated by exploration and evaluation activities are expensed as incurred and treated as exploration and evaluation expenditure. (f) Impairment of Assets At each reporting date, the Directors review the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the assets, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. (g) Provisions Provisions are recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result, and that outflow can be reliably measured. Athena Resources Limited Page 24 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 (h) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. (i) Revenue Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and service tax (GST). (j) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expenses. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. (k) Issued Capital Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received. (l) Comparative Figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

The Board’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the group in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. The Group has developed a framework for a risk management policy and internal compliance and control systems that covers the organisational, financial and operational aspects of the Group’s affairs. The Chairman is responsible for ensuring the maintenance of, and compliance with, appropriate systems. Financial Risk Exposures and Management The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk and liquidity risk. Athena Resources Limited Page 35 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 Interest Rate Risk The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of change in the market, interest rate and the effective weighted average interest rate on these financial assets, is as follows: Financial Assets - Cash at bank - Trade debtors Total Financial Assets Financial Liabilities - Trade Creditors - Accruals - Deferred Creditors - Related Party Loans Total Financial Liabilities Non-Interest Bearing Floating Interest Rate 2021 $ 130,031 70,810 200,841 2020 $ - 34,737 34,737 214,023 98,494 - 40,000 352,517 84,801 - 981,800 100,000 1,166,601 2021 $ - - - - - - - - 2020 $ 17,192 - 17,192 230,000 - - - 230,000 Weighted Average Effective Interest Rate is 0.1% (2020: 1.0%) Liquidity Risk The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows. Credit Risk The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date, is the carrying amount net of any allowance for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes forming part of the financial statements. In the case of cash deposited, credit risk is minimised by depositing with recognised financial intermediaries such as banks, subject to Australian Prudential Regulation Authority supervision. The Group does not have any material risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by it. Capital Management Risk Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maximise the return to shareholders and ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. Management effectively manages the consolidated entity’s capital by assessing the Group’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of expenditure and debt levels and share and option issues. There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control capital of the Group since the prior year. Athena Resources Limited Page 36 NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 Financial Instruments Net Fair Values For financial assets and liabilities, the net fair value approximates their carrying value. The Group has no financial assets or liabilities that are readily traded on organised markets at balance date and has no financial assets where the carrying amount exceeds net fair values at balance date. The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the statement of financial position and in the notes to and forming part of the financial statements.

Athena Resources Limited Page 38 DIRECTORS’ DECLARATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 1. In the opinion of the directors of Athena Resources Limited (the ‘Company’): a) the accompanying financial statements and notes are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: (i) (ii) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its performance for the year then ended; and complying with Australian Accounting Standards, the Corporations Regulations 2001, professional reporting requirements and other mandatory requirements. b) there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable. c) the financial statements and notes thereto are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. 2. This declaration has been made after receiving the declarations required to be made to the directors in accordance with Section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001 for the financial year ended 30 June 2021. _______________________________ E W Edwards Executive Director Dated at Perth this 17th day of August 2021 Athena Resources Limited Page 40 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the members of Athena Resources Limited Report on the Audit of the Financial Report Opinion We have audited the financial report of Athena Resources Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, 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 30 June 2021 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 (“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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. Page 41 Key Audit Matter Minerals exploration and evaluation Refer to Note 8 How our audit addressed the key audit matter The Group has a capitalised mineral exploration and evaluation balance of $9,247,238 as at 30 June 2021. Our procedures included but were not limited to: In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, the Group capitalises exploration and evaluation expenditure as incurred. We planned our work to address the audit risk that the capitalised expenditure might no longer meet the recognition criteria of the standard. Our audit focussed on the Group’s assessment of the carrying amount of the capitalised exploration and evaluation asset. We considered it necessary to assess whether facts and circumstances existed to suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. We considered this to be a key audit matter due to its size and importance to the users’ understanding of the financial statements. Going concern Refer to Note 1 At 30 June 2021 the Group has a working capital deficit of $102,150 and had recorded a net cash outflow from operating and investing activities of $916,961. Based on the above factors, we considered the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation for the financial statements. The going concern basis of accounting was a key audit matter as it is fundamental to the financial report overall. • Substantiating a sample of exploration and evaluation expenditure; • Obtaining evidence that the Group has current rights to tenure of its areas of interest; • Considering the Directors’ assessment of potential indicators of impairment under AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources; • Examining the exploration budget for the year ending 30 June 2022 and discussing with management the nature of planned ongoing activities; and • Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures included in the relevant notes to the financial report. Our procedures included but were not limited to: • Considering the appropriateness of the going concern basis of accounting by evaluating and testing the cash flow projections for the relevant period as prepared by management; • Vouching entitlement funds received subsequent to balance date to supporting documentation; issue • Assessing the reasonableness of forecast expenditure and the degree to which any is discretionary; forecast expenditure • Performing sensitivities on the cashflow forecast provided by management. Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon 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 30 June 2021, 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. Page 42 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. 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 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 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. Page 43 - 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, related safeguards. 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.
