FIND THE ONE... AS UNIQUE AS HER. For personal use only A T L A S P E A R L S A M E S S A G E F R O M BEHIND THE SCENES THE MANAGING DIRECTOR Each pearl is unique, every year is special It is always an interesting exercise to deliver an accurate and balanced 12-month snapshot of a 4 year-long pearling cycle. Each year brings both challenges and rewards, some driven by Mother Nature and others by our global economy. We have come a long way since 2014/15 but have not yet harvested all the fruits, and certainly the pearls, which have been seeded and nurtured to date. Here are a few key team achievements I would like to share with you: A record number of oysters seeded due for harvest in 2018/19; • A significant improvement in hatcheries and juvenile oysters survival; • A sustained post-seeding nuclei retention rate; • A promising quality improvement in pearl skin and lustre; • • A steep productivity increase in grading and value adding; • On-going support from the communities surrounding our farms; • A strong push in the appreciation of Indonesian pearls by the trade with the support of the Japanese, American and Indonesian pearl associations; A solid price recovery at the April and June Atlas private auctions in Kobe, Japan after 6 months of relatively soft prices backed up by an effective currency hedging strategy; An effective debt restructuring and tax management process; A broader connection with customers through a Channel 9 nationwide TV feature, also seen through Netflix, which showcased our farms in Bali and Flores (700,000 viewers, 141 countries, 14 languages); A step forward in pearl education with the launch of the “Pearl as One” program and Atlas’ new video; A carefully crafted collaboration with the West Australian Ballet and partnership with the WA Opera; A successful launch of the Atlas Brand in Singapore and soon to come in Shanghai and Jakarta. • • • • • • Sarah, Chihiro, Emma and Diah, our Ambassadors, have successfully spread the Atlas message and company values this year. They are our ‘pearls’ and together we go forward into the community to reveal our inner beauty, and to celebrate the magic of the Atlas South Sea pearl. Going forward, Atlas will remain focussed on quality and productivity gains, whilst staying close to its customers. This ideal combination fostered by team communication, passion and dedication, will deliver the growth and profitability that will then lead to sustainability. Once again thank you to the Atlas team, staff, clients and shareholders alike, for your continuous support and inspiration. Yours in pearling, Pierre Fallourd Managing Director - Page 1 - - Page 2 - For personal use only SARAH TILLEKE Sarah encompasses the beauty of an Atlas South Sea pearl. As a model, Sarah is known for her versatility and demonstrates both classic and contemporary appeal. Sarah was one of Atlas Pearls’ first models and Ambassadors. Equally, for Sarah, Atlas was the first company to book the then 19-year-old for a campaign. Now at 22, the international model is making a name for herself and not just as a “token beauty”. Sarah is studying Communications and is also a keen adventurer. Recently she was one of the last contestants remaining on the Australian Survivor TV show. Her ability to outwit, outsmart and play the strategic game saw her make it to the final eight. Sarah is a wonderful Ambassador for Atlas and, like a pearl, demonstrates an inner glow and projects beauty from within. “Pearls are a miracle of nature. When I wear pearls I feel beautiful, romantic and special.” Sarah Tilleke “Pearls are a miracle of nature.

Every living pearl is a testimony to its journey.Model, Adventurer & Atlas AmbassadorFor personal use only CHIHIRO NOMURA Ballet dancer Chihiro Nomura is the perfect balance of grace and strength. She can be both a delicate beauty and a fierce athlete. Chihiro was born and studied in Tokyo, Japan. She graduated from the Heinz Bosl Stiftung Ballet Academy in Munich and has danced for the Norwegian National Ballet in roles including the Sugar Plum Fairy in the Nutcracker and Aurora in Sleeping Beauty. Chihiro moved to Perth and joined West Australian Ballet (WAB) in 2015. Just this year she was promoted to principal. Like an elite athlete, Chihiro is in constant training to achieve the fitness and technique demanded of her performances. The same dedication and commitment is required to create an Atlas pearl. Chihiro’s inner shine is only enhanced by the Atlas pearls she wears and loves. “I love Atlas Pearls because they are so classic and feminine and I love wearing my Embraced earrings. At a recent photo shoot with Atlas I was able to model a stunning strand of pearls, so I have been leaving hints with my partner.” Chihiro Nomura “I love Atlas Pearls, they are so classic & feminine.

Emma’s extraordinary gift led her to the respected West Australian Academy of Performing Arts. Emma began her career in London, but has returned to Australia and is now a soprano with West Australian Opera. Emma finds great joy in the ability to move people through the power of music. She loves being a story-teller and being able to take people on a journey. Her performance highlight to date is singing for the late Dame Joan Sutherland’s 80th birthday in her presence. And in another life highlight, Emma recently became a new mum to baby Archer. Just like the journey of a pearl, each woman’s journey is individual and unique. “Pearls are the ultimate statement piece for any woman. Timeless and exquisitely beautiful, wearing pearls will always make you feel elegant. I love that each pearl is unique in colour, shine and shape and it also happens to be my birth stone.” Emma Pettemerides “Pearls are the ultimate statement piece for any woman.

It takes up to four years to create this living gem.For personal use only DIAH RAHAYU As one of the few Indonesian female surfers on the pro-circuit, Diah has rightly been described as a “rare pearl”. Diah started surfing when she was 12. She took up the sport with her father, and then quickly became addicted to surfing. Now at 23 years of age, Diah is a pro-surfer and sponsored by Rip Curl. In the very competitive world of surfing, Diah demonstrates incredible drive, perseverance and strength. She is breaking new ground for many young female surfers and is an incredible role model for Indonesian women. As a lover of the ocean, Diah is a perfect advocate for Atlas Pearls and the Ambassador of the Atlas Pearls “Surfed” Collection. “I feel truly happy when I wear pearls. I wear pearls because they are natural. Pearls remind me of the ocean and that is where I feel at home.” Diah Rahayu “I feel truly happy when I wear pearls. Pearls are natural and remind me of the ocean, where I feel at home.” Photographed on location at Atlas Pearls, Pungu Island farm. - Page 10 - Did you know?To reach their maximum potential, South Sea pearls require the truly pristine environment of remote areas such as the Indonesian Archipelago.

L E T T E R F R O M THE CHAIRMAN Dear Shareholder 2016/17 marked a year of consolidation for Atlas and the laying of the foundations for sustained growth. Our sales revenue did not match the previous year due to softened market conditions between October 2016 and March 2017. Pleasingly, prices firmed during the latter part of the financial year to levels which would have allowed our performance to mirror 2015/16 had they been sustained across the full 12 months. Importantly, we were able to continue our progress towards a material uplift in future revenues from our operational reforms evidenced by improved pearl quality, reduced mortality and a significant increase in the number of shells seeded. On the capital structure front, the company has been fortunate in securing a $3.5m term debt facility from its major shareholder to replace the prior existing bank short term debt facility. The loan, which has been approved by the shareholders, is repayable in a number of instalments through to June 2020. In addition, Atlas has also been successful in tapping the traditional bank lending market for an overdraft of $1million to accommodate the historically slower cash flows in the first part of the year. Reflecting the new certainty around our funding, we no longer have an “Emphasis of matter” paragraph relating to our going concern status in our Audit Report, which I’m sure will be welcomed by all shareholders. Last year I wrote that, as we had listed our 50% interest in Essential Oils of Tasmania (“EOT”) as an asset for sale at the end of the year and, as it had not sold, we were required to take a precautionary write down on the value of that investment. This year, I am pleased to report that the earnings outlook for this business has improved significantly. New trading revenue streams have been developed, new commercial arrangements instituted with growers and new products identified for further market development. Programs for selling cosmetic products based on pearl powder and proteins in North America are also continuing to evolve with a renewed effort scheduled for November 2017. We are now confident that EOT will justify the investment the company made in it and it has the potential to grow into a significant source of diversified earnings for the company. Finally, on behalf of my fellow directors, I want again to acknowledge the contribution of all our employees not only for the achievements of 2016/17 but for putting in place the human and financial resources to underwrite future improvements in performance. The Board is convinced that the production expansion path we are now pursuing will ensure both stability and growth in our future earnings and I am looking forward to sharing with you the fruits of these initiatives in the coming years.

(30 June 2016 – net profit after tax $0.96M). The operating revenue for the year ended 30 June 2017 was $16.4M, compared to the year ended 30 June 2016 - $18.4M. Pearl sales revenue was $15.4M (30 June 2016 - $16.0M), with retail and wholesale sales revenue of $0.9M (30 June 2016 - $1.9M). While pearl quality has remained consistent, market conditions at a trading level became challenging early in this financial year, particularly for the company’s high-end product, before a partial recovery at the company’s April and June Auctions. These market conditions were also felt at a wholesale and retail level, however the company holds a more positive market outlook for 2017/18. The subsequent reduction in revenues was partially off-set by effective, responsible cost controls. Farm operating costs remained in line with the prior year despite upward costs pressures in Indonesia generally, with cost of goods sold values reflect an increase in the number of pearls sold. Administration and Marketing expenses again remained consistent with the prior year on aggregate, and the combination of these cost performance efforts helped ensure the company remained profitable in 2016/17 despite tough market conditions. From a Capital perspective, the company raised $3.5M from its major shareholder during the year to drive the company’s long term strategic plan and assist with the full repayment of the CBA debt ($4M at 1 July 2016). The company has now concluded its relationship with the CBA and is moving forwards with the support of the National Australia Bank. (NAB) 4.2.5 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 4.2.5.1 PEARLING Following on from the efforts in 2015/16, improvements in operational processes at all levels of Oyster management remained a key focus during the year. The return to normal water temperatures at the end of the El Nino season experienced in 2015/16 has allowed the full effects of hatchery evolution and juvenile husbandry to be understood, generating improved spat survival on sea deployment. Juvenile numbers have increased significantly when compared to June 2016, and the company expects to see the benefit of improved juvenile husbandry practices to build on the hatchery results and translate into increased virgin availability in the coming years. In terms of seeding performance, the company has injected a significant number of quality virgin shells sourced from supportive Indonesian oyster producers, allowing the company to increase its seeding numbers in the current year while we wait for the oysters that are the product of the hatchery and juvenile reforms to move through the 2 year growth cycle prior to seeding. The outcome of both improved juvenile survival and increased seeding number is significant increase in the company’s biomass as at June 30 2017. Project capital sourced in January 2017 was used to support the shell purchase program and provide the necessary infrastructure to host the growing number of Oysters that is the company’s future revenue stream. Overall harvest profiles remained in line with those experienced towards the end of 2015/16, however pearl quality is beginning to show the benefits of seeding and husbandry reforms and the company is optimistic that this will continue to evolve and result in a steady flow of high quality goods into the market. 4.2.5.2 PEARLING VALUE ADDED Wholesale and retail pearl markets struggled in 2016/17, reflecting the market changes at a trading level as well as global economic factors impacting discretionary spending in western economies. The company’s traditional pathways to non-trading markets performed poorly and showed only limited appetite for quality product, with most sales generated from mid-range goods at less than premium price points. As a result of these market conditions, more pearls were sold via trading avenues, realising value but returning lower margins. Ongoing refinements in matching our jewellery design offering to international market demands, and value adding non-traditional product categories remains an opportunity in the sector and will be pursued in 2017/18. The company is now well advanced in efforts to both re-open old markets in the USA and Middle East and evolve our wholesale offering by seeking partnerships with high end department stores and jewellery chains internationally. Private sales made available to VIP customers of aligned company’s also remains an area expected to add value. The company remains committed to a strong retail presence, with refined efforts to build the Atlas brand ongoing. 4.2.5.3 NATURAL EXTRACTS Essential Oils of Tasmania (EOT) was retained in the Atlas portfolio last year as a 50% owned subsidiary, and has been subject to a material evolution. The appointment of a new CEO and the re-negotiation of the company’s farming contracts has changed the business model to a more collaborative approach with the Tasmanian growers and is considered much more sustainable in the long term. In a further sign on the company’s evolution, EOT has begun a relationship with a USA based direct marketing company to develop a market pathway for Tasmanian oils separate from the company’s traditional trading markets. This has resulted in significant sales of locally sourced Tasmanian native species Kunzea and Southern Rosalina Oil into US markets and has been instrumental in the company achieving record sales in 2016/17. Of the company’s two major product lines, Peppermint pricing struggled, impacted by strong US seasonal production volumes, while traditional fennel markets remain strong. A broadening of the EOT product offering and ongoing development of alternate market pathways remains the focus for 2017/18. 4.2.5.4 AUDIT OPINION The financial report has been audited independently and received an unmodified opinion. Refer to page 56 for the Independent Auditors Report and Opinion. 4.2.5.5 PERSONNEL Staff numbers at the end of the year were as follows: Expatriates – Indonesia Indonesian nationals –permanent Indonesian nationals – part time Australia Total Personnel 5.

Events Since the End of the Financial Year There have been no material events since the end of the financial year. 7. Likely Developments and Expected Result of Operations The company expects to continue to refine its pearling operations towards industry best practice. The long term strategic plan will continue to drive a growth agenda and both JV and diversification strategies will be assessed in 2017/18. Pearl volumes to the market will be approximately the same as 2016/17 while the increased bio-mass generated in the current year matures. Financial performance will be quality and market dependant. Efforts to evolve the operations in Tasmania will continue. 8. Directors’ Interests The relevant interest of each current Director in the share capital of the Company, as notified by the Directors to the Australian Stock Exchange in accordance with S205G (1) of the Corporations Act 2001, at the date of this report, are detailed in Section 13.5.6 of the Remuneration Report. 9.

The framework provides a mix of fixed and variable pay with short and medium term incentives. As executives gain seniority with the group, the balance of this mix shifts to a higher proportion of ‘at risk’ rewards. An Employee Share Plan (ESP) provides some senior executives with incentive over and above their base salary (refer 13.2 below). The allocation of shares under the Employee Share Plan (ESP) is not subject to performance conditions of the Company. The reasons for establishing the ESP were: • • To align the interests of senior management with shareholders. The ESP provides employees with incentive to strive for long term profitability which is in line with shareholder objectives; and To provide an incentive for employees to extend their employment terms with the company. Pearl farming is a long term business and the experience of long serving senior employees is an important factor in the long term success of the Company.

Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: a) Sales Revenue comprises of revenue earned from the sale of products or services to entities outside the economic entity. Sales revenue is recognised when the goods are provided or when the fee in respect of services provided is receivable. b) Interest Income is recognised as it accrues. 2.

The calculations are considered to be level 3 fair values. The data is taken from internal management reporting and work completed by the executive within the respective field teams to determine the material inputs to the model. The key production inputs are confirmed with the relevant executives and agreed with the Board of Directors every six months. These are listed in below: 8,728,104 5,331,477 3.1 KEY PRODUCTION ASSUMPTIONS 10,471,069 12,118,179 10,471,069 12,118,179 The key assumptions utilised to determine the fair market value of oysters are detailed below: Total Biological Assets 19,199,173 17,449,656 Biological assets recognised as current assets on the Statement of Financial Position represent the estimated value of the pearls to be harvested within the next 12 months. The details of the Biological Assets that are held by the Group as at period end are as follows: Input 2017 2016 Commentary Average selling price ¥12,300 per momme ¥13,000 per momme Obtained by analysing sales prices achieved and the trend analysis of the past 12 months of average sales prices.

Quantity held within the Group operations: - Juvenile and mature oysters which are not seeded 1,035,169 Nucleated oysters 950,588 638,977 764,864 1,985,757 1,403,841 During the year ended 30 June 2017, the Group harvested 374,046 (2016: 351,557) pearls. No significant events occurred which impacted on oyster mortalities during the financial year. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY Agricultural assets include pearl oysters, both seeded and unseeded. Seeded oysters are measured at their fair value less estimated husbandry costs. The fair value of these biological assets is determined by using the present value of expected net cash flows from the oysters, discounted using a pre-tax market determined rate. The fair value of unseeded oysters is determined by reference to market prices for this type of asset in Indonesia. Changes in fair value less estimated husbandry costs of these assets are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period they arise. The Group is exposed to financial risk in respect of its involvement in primary production which consists of the breeding and rearing of oysters for the purpose of producing pearls. The primary financial risk associated with this activity occurs due to the length of time between the expenditure of cash in relation to the operation of the farm and the harvesting of the pearls and realisation of cash receipts from the sales to third parties. The Group ensures that it maintains sufficient working capital to ensure that it can sustain its operation through any delays in cash flow that may be reasonably foreseen. Mortality Historical Historical Based on historical harvest mortality rates Average unseeded oyster value $1.50 $1.61 Based on independent valuation Costs to complete $0.76 $0.80 Based on historical averages of costs to complete and sell pearls per momme. 3.2 SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS - OYSTERS The following tables summarise the potential impact of changes in the key non-production related variables on the oyster valuation: Selling Price (¥/momme) -10% ¥11,182 (Sellable Grade) ¥1,451 (Commercial Grade) No Change ¥12,300 (Sellable Grade) ¥1,596 (Commercial Grade +10% ¥13,530 (Sellable Grade) ¥1,756 (Commercial Grade) Discount rate Profit $ Profit $ Profit $ 22% 20% 18.18% ($2,375,103) ($2,418,057) ($2,458,679) $94,757 - $21,427 $2,811,603 $2,779,722 $2,749,543 Selling Price (¥/momme) -10% ¥11,182 (Sellable Grade) ¥1,451 (Commercial Grade) No Change ¥12,300 (Sellable Grade) ¥1,596 (Commercial Grade) +10% ¥13,530 (Sellable Grade) ¥1,75 (Commercial Grade) Profit $ Profit $ Profit $ ($4,710,638) ($2,418,057) ($2,464,763) - $113,860 $2,842,184 $5,699 $2,779,722 $5,843,342 FX rate ¥94.77 ¥86.15 ¥78.32 3.2 SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS - OYSTERS (CONTINUED...)

Inventories CURRENT Pearls Jewellery Jewellery obsolescence provision Other inventory NON CURRENT Nuclei Total Inventory SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY Pearls: Pearl inventory is held at cost and value assessed based on the cost of oyster stock at time of harvest. At each reporting date, pearl inventory is reviewed to ensure it is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. At 30 June 2017, a write off of pearl stocks of $263,441 has been recorded (30 June 2016- $165,036) to bring the value in line with the assessed net realisable value. Nuclei: Quantities on hand at the period end are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Other: Including jewellery, cosmetics, fuel, mechanical parts and farm spares at the period end are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net Realisable Value: Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. 5.

Financial Risk Management The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts and options to hedge certain risk exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or speculative instruments. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. The Group uses sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate and foreign exchange risks and aging analysis for credit risk. Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors and Senior management. The Group holds the following financial instruments: 2017 $ 2016 $ 2,184,968 4,343,407 326,396 156,639 287,642 - 2,668,003 4,631,049 525,009 976,754 3,528,722 4,224,569 - 253,324 4,053,731 5,454,647 FINANCIAL ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Derivative financial instruments FINANCIAL LIABILITIES Trade and other payables Borrowings Derivative financial instruments 6.1 MARKET RISK (i) Foreign exchange risk The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the Japanese Yen, Indonesian Rupiah, US Dollar and Euro. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency and net investments in foreign operations. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting. Management manages their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. Group companies are required to hedge a proportion of their foreign exchange risk exposure arising from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities using forward exchange contracts and options under the guidance of the Board of Directors. The majority of the Group’s cash reserves are held in Australian banks with AAA ratings. 6. Financial Risk Management (continued...) GROUP SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS Sensitivity analysis is based on exchange rates in US Dollars, Japanese Yen and Euro increasing or decreasing by 10% and the effect on profit and equity.

As at 30 June 17 all Yen borrowings have been settled. Current borrowings are all held in AUD. Not shown in the table above, is the exposure to exchange movements on the intercompany loans made to the Indonesian subsidiaries. The loans are held in IDR and revalued to AUD at each year end. At 30 June 2017 this loan stood at AUD$2,463,005. The intercompany loans are eliminated on consolidation.  (ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from its borrowings. All borrowings are currently repayable by 30 June 2020 and are at fixed interest rates. As such the Group considers that any fair value interest rate risk or cash flow risk will be immaterial. (iii) Price risk The Group is exposed to fluctuations in pearl prices. This product is not traded as a commodity on an open market and as such the price risk cannot be hedged. 6.2 CREDIT RISK Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables. The Group considers the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Sales to retail customers are required to be settled in cash or using major credit cards, thus mitigating credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets as summarised on page 35. For retail customers without credit rating the Group generally retains title over the goods sold until payment is received in full. All cash balances held at banks are held at internationally recognised institutions. The Australian Government has guaranteed all deposits held with Australian banks, cash held in Indonesia is not covered by this guarantee. The majority of other receivables held are with related parties and within the Group. Given this the credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due or impaired can be assessed by reference to historical information about default rates. - Page 35 - - Page 36 - For personal use only Atlas Pearls and Perfumes ltd and its subsidiaries Atlas Pearls and Perfumes ltd and its subsidiaries NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 6.

The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Group management aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available. Surplus funds are generally only invested in instruments such as term deposits that are highly liquid. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity reserve (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below) and cash and cash equivalents (Note 5) on the basis of expected cash flows. This is generally carried out by the Senior Management and the Board of Directors on a Group basis. In addition, the Group’s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these and monitoring debt financing plans. 6.4 FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS The Group had access to the following borrowing facilities at the reporting date. • • FIXED RATE Foreign currency loan trade (CBA) Overdraft facility (NAB) 2017 $ 2016 $ - 4,000,000 1,000,000 - 1,000,000 4,000,000 • During the year ended 30 June 2017 the Company’s debt position has been restructured. As at 30 June 2016, the Company had a $4,000,000 facility in place with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA). This was fully drawn down at this date and due for repayment by 30 June 2017. This loan facility was secured by a registered company charge by CBA over the whole of the assets and undertaking including uncalled capital of Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd and its related entities except for the shares and assets of Essential Oils of Tasmania Pty Ltd and World Senses Pty Ltd. • The CBA loan was fully repaid by 30 June 2017 and the security position has been discharged. • The Company secured a new debt financing package of $3,500,000 from Mr. Tim Martin (Non-Executive Director) and the Martin Family, a related party. $1.5m of this facility was drawn down in January 2017, with a further $2m secured in June 17. The loan is repayable over a 3 year period at a 7.5% interest rate, in staged repayments to be completed by 30 June 2020. 6.5 MATURITIES OF FINANCIAL LIABILITIES AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities, net and gross settled derivative financial instruments into relevant maturity groupings based on their remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cashflows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant. Subject to shareholder approval, the loan agreement with the Martin Family will contain a convertibility provision. The outstanding debt and interest will only be convertible into ordinary shares in the event the Company defaults on its repayment terms as noted above, with convertibility being at the lender’s option. In that event, the conversion price will be at a 15% discount to 30 day VWAP, with a minimum conversion price of 1.5c In addition to the financing package noted above, the Company has agreed a new facility with the National Australia Bank (NAB). The NAB has taken over from CBA as the Company’s transactional banker and provided a $1,000,000 working capital overdraft facility. The overdraft facility will be secured by a registered company charge over the Company’s Assets. As at 30 June 2017, no amount has been drawn down on this facility. The Martin facility is currently not secured, but it is the intention of the Company to seek approval from the shareholders for a General Security Deed in relation to the debt, that will rank as a second priority charge over the Company’s assets, behind the NAB facility. A General Meeting has been called for September 2017 to attend to this matter.

Fair value hierarchy AASB 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy: (a.) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1) (b.) inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (level 2), and (c.) inputs for the asset/liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3). The following table presents the group’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2016 on a recurring basis: 30 JUNE 2017 Assets Forward foreign exchange contracts Total Assets Liabilities Total Liabilities 30 JUNE 2016 Assets Total Assets Liabilities Forward foreign exchange contracts Total Liabilities LEVEL 1 $ LEVEL 2 $ LEVEL 3 $ TOTAL $ LEVEL 1 $ - - - - - - - - LEVEL 2 $ 156,639 156,639 - - - - (253,325) (253,325) LEVEL 3 $ - - - - - - - - TOTAL $ - - - - - - (253,325) (253,325) - Page 37 - - Page 38 - For personal use only Atlas Pearls and Perfumes ltd and its subsidiaries Atlas Pearls and Perfumes ltd and its subsidiaries NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 8. Trade and Other Receivables 9. Tax 6. Financial Risk Management (continued...) MATURITIES OF FINANCIAL LIABILITIES AND 6.5 DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED...) (b.) Valuation techniques used to derive level 2 and level 3 fair values The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over–the–counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities. As at 30 June 2017 there are no level 3 related instruments in place. (i) Transfers between levels 2 and 3 and changes in valuation techniques There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy in the period ended 30 June 2017. There were also no changes made to any of the valuation techniques applied as of 30 June 2016. Fair values of other financial instruments (c.) The group also has a number of financial instruments which are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. These had the following fair values as at 30 June 2017: CURRENT Trade receivables Provision for impairment Net trade receivables Sundry debtors & prepayments Total trade & other receivables 2017 $ 2016 $ 349,331 (43,090) 306,241 550,141 856,382 245,218 - 245,218 481,775 726,993 (a.) Impaired trade receivables At 30 June 2017, an impairment of $43,090 has been booked in relation to trade receivables. This relates to debts owing from two wholesale customers that are past due by more than 3 months and which management have deemed are at risk of not being collected. Management are actively pursuing recovery of the debt. (b.) Past due but not impaired As at 30 June 2017, trade receivables of $52,726 (2016: $134,491) were past due but not impaired in the Group. Within the Group these relate to a small number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default. Given the past history with these customers no impairment has been recognised in the financial period. The ageing analysis of these trade receivables is as follows: NON-CURRENT BORROWINGS Debt Financing Other bank loan 2017 $ Carrying amount 2017 $ Fair value 2016 $ Carrying amount 2016 $ Fair value 3,250,000 3,250,000 - - 3,250,000 3,250,000 - 33,553 33,553 - 33,553 33,553 Up to one month 2-3 months 3 months and above (c.) Risk exposure 2017 $ 2016 $ 53,546 3,180 - 74,795 37,536 22,160 56,726 134,491 Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts of the current receivables, current payables and current borrowings are assumed to approximate their fair value. 7. Trade and Other Payables The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of each class of receivables mentioned above. Refer to note 6 for more information on the risk management policy of the Group and the credit quality of the entity’s trade receivables. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY 2017 $ 2016 $ Trade receivables are recognised at fair value less provision for impairment. All trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30-60 days. CURRENT Trade payables ESSP accrual Other payables and accrued expenses Total trade and other payables 520,963 - 325,930 160,147 2,091,977 2,042,608 2,612,940 2,528,685 Other payables include accruals for annual leave and employee benefits of $1,647,565, and $1,614,554 in the consolidated entity for 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2016 respectively. The entire obligation is presented as current, since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY Trade Payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the group prior to the end of the financial period which are unpaid. These amounts are unsecured and are usually settled within 30 days of recognition. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account – provision for impairment of trade receivables, is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, financial reorganisation, and default and delinquency in payments, more than 30 days overdue, are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The Group also considers the long-term history of the debtor. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 9.1 INCOME TAX EXPENSE 9.2 TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (a.)

Tax (continued...) 11. Derivative Financial Instruments 12. Earnings Profit /(Loss) per share (continued...) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 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 tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 10. Borrowings CURRENT Bank loan Other loans Lease liabilities Total current borrowings NON CURRENT Other loans Total non-current borrowings Total borrowings 2017 $ 2016 $ - 4,075,722 278,722 - 110,122 5,172 278,722 4,191,016 3,250,000 3,250,000 3,528,722 33,553 33,553 4,224,569 Refer to Note 6.4 for disclosures on financing arrangements currently in place. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds and the redemption amount is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest rate method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not an incremental cost relating to the actual draw down of the facility, are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. 2017 $ 2016 $ Derivative financial assets Forward foreign exchange contracts 156,639 - Derivative financial liabilities Forward foreign exchange contracts - 253,324 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY Derivative instruments are initially measured at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The Group is party to derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business in order to hedge a proportion of the exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates in accordance with the Groups financial risk policies (refer note 6). Derivative financial assets and liabilities comprise forward exchange contracts. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of foreign exchange hedging contracts are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. The Groups operating expenses mainly consist of materials and services purchased in Indonesian Rupiah. During the period ended 30 June 2017 the Group did not enter into any forward exchange contracts to purchase Indonesian Rupiah. The sale of pearls is denominated in Japanese Yen and so the Group has entered into forward exchange contracts and options to sell Japanese Yen and receive Australian Dollars. 12.

Ordinary shares issued to employees under the Employee Share Plan are considered to be potential ordinary shares and have been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share to the extent that they are dilutive. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit after income tax attributable to members 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. Refer to Note 12.1 for further detail. Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figure used in determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financial 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. Refer to Note 12.1 for further detail. 13. Dividends Dividend Franking Account 2017 $ 2016 $ Franking credits available to shareholders of the Company for subsequent financial years based on a tax rate of 30%. 1,278,704 1,278,704 The above amounts represent the balance of the franking account as at the end of the financial period adjusted for: (i) Franking credits that will arise from the payment of the amount of the provision for income tax; (ii) Franking debits that will arise from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at the reporting date; and (iii) Franking credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as receivables at the reporting date. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY A Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the period but not distributed at reporting date. No dividends have been paid or declared in respect of the 2017 financial year or the period ended 30 June 2016. - Page 41 - - Page 42 - For personal use only Atlas Pearls and Perfumes ltd and its subsidiaries Atlas Pearls and Perfumes ltd and its subsidiaries NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 14.

The carrying value of property, plant and equipment and their useful lives are reviewed annually by management to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of these assets which is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employed and subsequent disposal. The cost of fixed assets constructed within the economic entity includes the cost of materials and direct labour. Repairs and maintenance carried out on the assets are expensed unless there is a future economic benefit that will flow to the Group which can be reliably measured, in which case the value of the asset is increased. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis so as to write off the cost or valuation of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are unchanged: Freehold Land (5-10%), Leasehold land & buildings improvements (5-10%), Vessels (10%), and Plant and Equipment (10-50%). 15. Segment reporting The Group has identified its operating segments based on internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of Directors and management team (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The operating segments are identified by management based on the manner in which the product is sold, whether retail or wholesale. Management also considers the business from a geographical perspective and has identified four reportable segments. Discrete financial information about each of these operating businesses is reported to the board of Directors and management team on at least a monthly basis. The wholesale business is a producer and supplier of pearls within the wholesale market. The retail business is the manufacture and sale of pearl jewellery and related products within the retail market. The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments are the same as those detailed throughout the financial statements and in the prior period except as detailed below: Inter-entity sales Inter-entity sales are recognised based on an internally set transfer price. These transactions are eliminated within the internal reports. The revenue from external parties reported to the chief operating decision maker is measured in a manner consistent with that in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. It is the Group’s policy that if items of revenue and expense are not allocated to operating segments then any associated assets and liabilities are also not allocated to segments. This is to avoid asymmetrical allocations within segments which management believe would be inconsistent. (a.) Segment information provided to the Board of Directors and management team (i) The segment information provided to the Board of Directors and management team for the reportable segments for the period ended 30 June 2017 is as follows: 30 June 2017 Wholesale Loose Pearl Jewellery Australia $ Indonesia $ Australia $ Indonesia $ Total $ 15,343,728 12,141,560 370,470 351,104 28,206,862 - (11,905,271) - -(11,905,271) 15,343,728 236,289 370,470 351,104 16,301,591 (288,056) 1,843,201 (394,221) (145,670) 1,015,254 (938,190) 1,719,381 (433,026) (161,670) 186,495 309,420 106,455 38,125 16,030 470,030 (ii) The segment information provided to the Board of Directors and management team for the reportable segments for the year ended 30 June 2016 is as follows: 30 June 2016 Wholesale Loose Pearl Jewellery Total Australia Indonesia Australia Indonesia $ $ $ $ $ Total segment revenue Inter-segment revenue Revenue from external customers Normalised EBITDA Adjusted net operating profit/ (loss) before income tax Depreciation and amortisation Revaluation of Biological Assets Totals segment assets Total assets include: Additions to non – current assets (other than financial assets or deferred tax) Total segment liabilities 16,783,473 12,568,397 490,503 412,516 30,254,889 - (12,212,715) - - (12,212,715) 16,783,473 355,682 490,503 412,516 18,042,174 1,418,525 2,560,972 (232,410) 14,441 3,761,528 1,440,441 1,460,736 (279,796) (10,123) 2,611,258 274,418 61,157 45,346 17,654 398,575 - (1,827,483) - - (1,827,483) 6,700,678 22,587,105 759,263 708,839 30,755,885 13,386 432,952 4,020 1,144 451,502 (984,754) (1,728,711) (30,846) (11,827) (2,756,138) - 57,074 - - 57,074 (b.)

Segment reporting (continued...) Major customers A Japanese wholesaler accounted for 10% of external revenue in the period ended 30 June 2017 (2016 - 19%). The top three Japanese customers accounted for 27% of revenue in the current period. These revenues are attributable to the Australian wholesale loose pearl segment. The entity is domiciled in Australia. The result of its revenue from third party customers in Australia is $599,528 (2016: $653,152) in relation to wholesale loose pearl sales. Revenue for wholesale loose pearls from third party customers based in other countries during the period ended 30 June 2017 was $14,748,723 (2016: $15,389,416). 89% of the total loose pearl sales revenue during the period ended 30 June 2017 (2016: 86%) were to Japanese based customers. In relation to retail jewellery sales the above segment reporting is based on the location of the sale, whether in Australia or Indonesia as the nature of the retail business relies on one off sales transactions with customers from a variety of locations. (ii) Adjusted net operating profit Segment net operating profit/(loss) before income tax reconciliation to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The Board of Directors and the management team review on a monthly basis the performance of each segment by analysing the segment’s net operating profit before tax. A segment’s net operating profit before tax excludes non-operating income and expense such as interest paid and received, foreign exchange gains and losses whether realised or unrealised, fair value gains and losses and impairment charges. A reconciliation of adjusted net operating profit/(loss) before income tax is provided as follows: Net operating profit before tax Intersegment eliminations Changes in fair value of biological and agricultural assets JV Impairment expense Foreign exchange gains Foreign exchange losses Other 2017 $ 186,495 - (206,367) - 1,331,955 (733,814) 226,218 2016 $ 2,611,258 - 1,827,483 (918,724) 105,780 (855,872) 17,220 Profit/(loss) before income tax from continuing operations 804,487 2,787,145 (iii) Segment assets Assets are allocated based on the operations of the segment and the physical location of the asset.

Share Based Payments and Options 18.1 EMPLOYEE SALARY SACRIFICE SHARE PLAN On 30 May 2012, the Atlas Employee Salary Sacrifice Share Plan was established. The Group has formed a trust to administer the Group’s employee share scheme. The trust is consolidated, as the substance of the relationship is that the trust is controlled by the Group. Shares held by Atlas South Sea Pearl Limited Employee Share Trust are disclosed as treasury shares and deducted from contributed equity. Shares held by the trust and not yet issued to employees at the end of the reporting period are shown as treasury shares in the financial statements. The shares rank equally with other fully paid ordinary shares. To participate in the Salary Sacrifice Plan, Eligible Employees are required to salary sacrifice a minimum of 10% of their annual base salary into Shares. There is no maximum percentage or value cap to the amount that each Eligible Employee can sacrifice. The issue price for Shares under the Salary Sacrifice Plan will be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors (in their discretion). - Page 45 - - Page 46 - For personal use only Atlas Pearls and Perfumes ltd and its subsidiaries Atlas Pearls and Perfumes ltd and its subsidiaries NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 18. Share Based Payments and Options (continued...) 18.1 EMPLOYEE SALARY SACRIFICE SHARE PLAN (CONTINUED...) The Employee Share Plan is open to Eligible Participants being any Eligible Employee; or conditional upon the company obtaining any necessary ASIC relief to extend the operation of ASIC Class Order 03/184 (or similar class order) to them: any Eligible Contractor; or i. Eligible Casual Employee, ii. Who is declared by the Board to be an Eligible Participant for the purposes of the Plan. An Eligible Employee means: a full time or part time employee (including an executive director) of a Group Company. An Eligible Contractor means: (a.) An individual that has: i. Performed work for a Group Company, for more than 12 months; and ii. Received 80% of more of their income in the preceding year from a Group Company; or (b.) A company where each of the following are satisfied in relation to the company: i. Throughout the previous 12 months the company has had a contract in place with a Group Company, for the provision of the services of an individual (contracting individual) to a Group Company; ii. The contracting individual has performed work for a Group Company, for more than 12 months; iii. The contracting individual has been the only member for the company for more than 12 months; and; iv. More than 80% of the aggregate income of the company and the contracting individual from all sources (other than from each other) in the preceding 12 months was received form a Group Company. The Board may determine the terms and conditions of the Salary Sacrifice arrangement for which Shares are offered in lieu of that Remuneration. The number of Shares to be issues, transferred or allocated to the Trustee to be held on behalf of a Participant will be the dollar amount of the Salary Sacrifice divided by the issue price per Share outlined in the Invitation. In the case of fractional entitlements, the number of Shares to be issue, transferred or allocated to the Trustee to be held on behalf of a Participant will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share, unless otherwise determined by the Board from time to time. Refer to Note 16 for disclosures on the movement in Employee and Non-Executive share plans, under treasury shares. 18.3 ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD EMPLOYEE OPTION PLAN At the EGM on 13 May 2014 it was resolved by the shareholders to approve the Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd Employee Option Plan. On 24 February 2014, the Board adopted the Atlas pearls and Perfumes Ltd Employee Option Plan (Plan) under which eligible participants may be granted Options to acquire Shares in the Company. The Directors consider that the plan is an appropriate method to: (a.) Reward Directors, executives, employees, consultants and contractors for their past performance; (b.) Provide long term incentives for participation in the Company’s future growth; (c.) Motivate Directors, executives, employees, consultants and contractors and general loyalty; and (d.) Assist to retain the services of valuation Directors, executives, employees, consultants and contractors. The Plan will be used as part of the remuneration planning for Directors, executives, employees and contractors. Under the plan, participants are granted options which only vest if certain performance standards are met. Participation in the plan is at the board’s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits. The Corporate Governance Council Guidelines recommend that remuneration packages involve a balance between fixed and incentive pay reflecting short and long-term performance objectives appropriate to the Company’s circumstances and goals. The Board considers that the Plan will assist the Company in structuring the remuneration packages of its executives in accordance with the Guidelines. The amount of options that will vest depends on the individual’s Key Performance Indicators. An option which has vested but has not been exercised will immediately lapse upon the first to occur of: (i) (ii) Close of business on the Expiry Date; The transfer or supported transfer of the Option in breach of Clause 7(a) of the plan; Termination of the Participant’s employment or engagement with the Company or an Associate Body Corporate on the basis that the Participant acted fraudulently, dishonestly, in breach of the Participant’s obligations or otherwise for cause; and (iii) (iv) The day which is six months after an event which gives rise to a vesting under clauses 4(a) to 4(d) of the plan. 18.2 NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FEE SACRIFICE SHARE PLAN Options on Issue The Non-Executive Director Salary Sacrifice Share Plan is open to Eligible Participants, being any Non-Executive Director who is declared by the Board to be an Eligible Participant for the purpose of the Plan. The Company’s Non-Executive Directors will receive a portion of their Director’s fee in the form of Shares. The Company agrees to issue or procure the transfer of Shares to eligible Non-Executive Directors, in lieu of the amount of Directors’ fees that each eligible Non-Executive Director has agreed to sacrifice from their monthly Directors’ fees each financial year. The issue price for Shares under the Salary Sacrifice Plan will be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors (in their discretion). On the 30th of June 2015 5,500,000 options exercisable at $0.059 each, on or before 31 December 2018 (expiry date), were issued to employees of the Company on the terms and conditions set out in the Explanatory Memorandum ratified at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on the 13th of May 2014. Options are granted under the plan for no consideration. Options granted under the plan carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share. The exercise price of options is based on 143% (June 2016: 143%) of the volume weighted average share price at which the company’s shares are traded on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) during the week up to and including the date of the grant. Expenses arising from share-based payment transactions Total expenses arising from share-based payment transactions and option related valuation expenses recognised during the period as part of employee benefit expense were as follows: 0.066 5,500,000 Shares issued under the employee share plan Option expense 2017 $ 2016 $ - 24,582 24,582 - 32,265 32,265 The share based payment expenses arising from the salary sacrifice share plan is nil as the plan does not give additional benefit to the employees as shares are issued in lieu of cash salary and cash bonus. The value of the shares originally issued to the trust is at the value sacrificed by the employee under the plan. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY The fair value of shares granted under the Employee Share Plan is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at the date that the employee enters into the plan and is recognised over the period during which the employee becomes unconditionally entitled to the shares. 19.

This valuation imputes a total value of approximately $90,215 for the proposed Options. The value may go up or down as it will depend in part on the future price of a Share. The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Black- Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option. The model inputs for options granted during the year ended 30 June 2015 are detailed below. The Black & Scholes methodology has been used, together with the following assumptions: (i) Options are granted for no consideration and vest based on the individual’s Key Performance Indicators. Vested options are exercisable for a period of six months after vesting or the earlier of 31 December 2018. (ii) Exercise price - $0.0590; (iii) Grant date – 30 June 2015; (iv) Share price at grant date: $0.044 (v) Expected price volatility of the company’s shares: 60%; (vi) Expected dividend yield: 0%; (vii) Risk-free interest rate: 3.06% The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility (based on the remaining life of the options), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information. Where options are issued to employees of subsidiaries within the group, the subsidiaries compensate Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd for the amount recognised as expense in relation to these options. - Page 47 - - Page 48 - For personal use only Atlas Pearls and Perfumes ltd and its subsidiaries Atlas Pearls and Perfumes ltd and its subsidiaries NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 20.

Joint ventures World Senses Pty Ltd (World Senses) was formed on the 29th November 2012 as a joint venture between Nomad Two Worlds Global Trading Pte Ltd and Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd. At 30 June 2017, there is a net loan balance of $698,212 owing from World Senses to Atlas (30 June 2016 - $698,212). This balance consists of salary and administration recharges and accounting charges, offset by pearl cosmetic products, pearl jewellery and pearl protein extraction assets transferred to Atlas. The net loan receivable balance for the Atlas group from World Senses of $698,212 has been fully impaired due to the net liability position of the World Senses Pty Ltd accounts. Essential Oils of Tasmania Pty Ltd (EOT) was acquired in January 2013 as a 100% subsidiary. On 20th April 2015 50% of the investment in the entity was sold to Westwood Properties Pty Ltd. Post this sale Essential Oils of Tasmania has been deemed a joint venture and has been equity accounted for. As at 30 June 2017, there is a loan balance of $2,042,450 (30 June 2016: $1,832,284) owing from Essential Oils of Tasmania Pty Ltd to Atlas. This balance consists of admin and expense recharges, and funding advances. A provision for impairment of $816,028 was booked against the loan for the year ending 30 June 2016 as a result of a review conducted on the recoverability of the intercompany receivable. The provision represents a write-down to the director’s best estimate of the recoverable value and is deemed a prudent assessment. The parent entity has a 50% interest in Brookfield Tasmania Pty Ltd. At 30 June 2017, there is a loan balance of $449 (30 June 2016: $200) owing from Brookfield Tasmania Pty Ltd.

Parent Entity Financial Information 25. Contingencies 27.2 HISTORICAL COST CONVENTION • SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY The financial information for the parent entity, Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd, has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below: Investments in subsidiaries Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd. Share-based payments The grant by the company of ordinary shares to the employees of subsidiary undertakings in the group is treated as a capital contribution to that subsidiary undertaking. The fair value of employee services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognised over the vesting period as an increase to investment in subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity. The company’s historical tax affairs are regularly subject to audit by the Indonesian Tax Office and this process remains ongoing. There is a possibility that this review programme may result in future tax liabilities in relation to prior year tax returns. All assessments received to date have been brought to account. Currently there are no periods under review. 26. Remuneration of auditors During the period, the following fees were paid or payable for services provided by the auditor of the parent entity, its related practices and non-related audit firms: 24.

On renewal the terms of the leases are renegotiated. There are no capital commitments in place in relation to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment. Fixed assets are replaced in the normal course of business operations and the company does not anticipate any material capital outlay for such replacement costs in the coming year. Other commitments/guarantees Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd had a bank guarantee with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia for AUD$100,000 at 30 June 2017 (30 June 2016: $100,000). This guarantee has been taken out to secure the rental of the Atlas Pearls and Perfumes corporate offices in Claremont, Western Australia. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risk and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. 27. Accounting Policies 27.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, IFRS and the Corporations Act 2001. Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. The financial statements cover the consolidated entity of Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd and its subsidiaries. Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. A description of the nature of the consolidated entity’s operations and its principal activities is included in the review of operations and activities in the directors’ report which is not part of these financial statements. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 28 August 2017. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of available for sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss and biological assets at fair value less cost to sell. 27.3 NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2017 unless disclosed separately. The Group’s and the parent entity’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below. AASB 16 - To the extent that the Company, as lessee, has significant operating leases outstanding at the date of initial application, 1 July 2019, right-of-use assets will be recognised for the amount of the unamortised portion of the useful life, and lease liabilities will be recognised at the present value of the outstanding lease payments. Thereafter EBITDA will increase as a result of operating lease expenses currently included in EBITDA which will be recognised instead as amortisation of the right-of-use asset, and interest expense on the lease liability. However, there will be an overall reduction in net profit before tax in the early years of a lease because the amortisation and interest charges will exceed the current straight-line expense incurred under AASB 117 Leases. This trend will reverse in the later years. Atlas has identified the following lease where this standard change will have an impact: • Claremont office lease held by the parent entity AASB Amendment Affected Standard(s) Nature of Change to Accounting Policy Application Date of Standard* Application Date for Group Any other amendments are not applicable to the Group and therefore have no impact. 1 Jan 18 1 July 18 27.4 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION 1 Jan 17 1 July 17 1 Jan 19 1 July 19 AASB 9 Financial Instruments AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers AASB 16 Leases Changes to classification and measurement requirements of financial instruments. Revenue will be recognised when control of the goods or services is transferred, rather than on transfer of risks and rewards as is currently the case under IAS 18 Revenue. AASB 16 eliminates the operating and finance lease classifications for lessees currently accounted for under AASB 117 Leases. Leases with terms greater than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is immaterial, will be recognised as a lease liability and a right of use asset in the statement of financial position. Impact on initial application: • • AASB 9 - The Company enters into forward hedge contracts to manage foreign currency risk but it currently does not apply hedge accounting. These derivative instruments are fair valued at each reporting date and gain or loss recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. It is expected that the application of the new amendments will not have an impact on the entity’s financial statements. AASB 15 – The Company does not currently enter into revenue contracts that will be affected by changes to this standard. It is expected that the application of the new amendments will not have an impact on the entity’s financial statements. The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd (“Company” or “parent entity”) as at 30 June 2017 and the results of its subsidiaries for the period then ended. Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial statement as the consolidated entity. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of business combinations by the Group. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively. - Page 51 - - Page 52 - For personal use only Atlas Pearls and Perfumes ltd and its subsidiaries Atlas Pearls and Perfumes ltd and its subsidiaries NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 27. Accounting Policies (continued...) 27.6 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION 27.7 COMPARATIVE FIGURES 27.4 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION (CONTINUED...) (a.) Functional and presentation currency The interest in a joint venture entity is accounted for using the equity method after initially being recognised at cost in the consolidated statement of financial position. Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. When the group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity. Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. The group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to the owners. 27.5 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are detailed below: (a.) Determination of market value of biological assets – see note 3 (b.) Write off of inventories – see note 4 (c.) Impairment of debtors – see note 8 (d.) Impairment of joint venture receivables – see note 22 Items included in the financial statements of each of the subsidiaries within the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd’s functional and presentation currency. (b.) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as available for sale financial assets are included in the fair value reserve in equity. All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income within other income or other expenses unless they relate to financial instruments. (c.) Group Companies The results and financial position of all group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflation economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: • Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position; Income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates; and all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity. • • On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders’ equity. When a foreign operation is sold or borrowings are repaid, a proportional share of such exchange differences are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as part of the gain or loss on sale. When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial period. 27.8 IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS Other assets are tested 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 assets 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. Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. 27.9 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Short Term Obligation Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for accumulating sick leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables. Wages and salaries, annual leave, sick leave and long service leave Contributions are made by the Group to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred. Share-based payments Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd Employee Share Plan. Information relating to this scheme is set out in note 18. 27.10 PROVISIONS Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognised when the group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. 27.11 BORROWING COSTS Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed. 28. Events occuring after the reporting period There have been no material events since the end of the financial year. - Page 53 - - Page 54 - For personal use only Atlas Pearls and Perfumes ltd and its subsidiaries DIRECTORS’ DECLARATION Atlas Pearls and Perfumes ltd and its subsidiaries AUDITORS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 The Directors of the Company declare that: (a.) the financial statements comprising the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position, statement of cash flows, statement of changes in equity and accompanying notes are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and: (i) (ii) give a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of the performance for the period ended on that date; and comply with Accounting Standards, and the Corporations Regulations 2001 and other mandatory professional reporting requirements. the Company has included in the notes to the financial statements an explicit and unreserved statement of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards. the Directors have been given the declarations by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by section 295A. in the Directors opinion there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable. the remuneration disclosures included in the Directors’ Report (as part of audited remuneration report) for the period ended 30 June 2017 comply with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
