FIND THE ONE... AS UNIQUE AS HER. For personal use only MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN For personal use only ATLAS PEARLS LTD 2019 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN Dear Shareholders, 2018/19 was another demanding year for Atlas with the realised increases in pearl numbers not translating into targeted profit outcomes due to ongoing issues with pearl size. Over the past four years Atlas Pearls has implemented operational changes to increase oyster survival, increase harvest quantities and decrease unit production costs. It is pleasing to report that these operational initiatives have been successfully implemented across the Company’s operations. Although the year ended 30 June 2019 yielded promising harvest quantities, the disappointing size of pearls continues to challenge revenue results which, in turn, has unfavourably impacted the Company’s year end profitability. During the year, Atlas successfully established an economical cost base and diverse farm locations to secure the Company’s future through varying environmental and market fluctuations. The Company’s trajectory is now encouraging, having achieved targets on both production and cost base levels with a clear future focus on pearl quality, colour and size. Important positives have materialised during the year including: • • • An understanding of the process drifts that have caused the decreasing pearl value and immediate rectification of those processes, Confirmation of the Company’s ability to harvest increased quantities of pearls whilst decreasing unit production costs, and Continuing strong market demand for high quality South Sea pearls of the right quality and size. The shortfall in expected revenue gave rise to some challenges on the capital structure front. To manage this, the Company delayed a $750,000 scheduled repayment to its major shareholder. The loan was approved at the 2017 AGM and was repayable in instalments through to June 2020 which has now been extended to 30 October 2020. The balance of the shareholder loan at 30 June 2019 is $2.5M. The Company retains an overdraft facility of $1.5M and collaboration with trade partners for short term trade loans. The Company is now looking at strategic options to ensure a path to more profitable operations, which will flow from increased pearl sizing. Atlas Pearls’ 50% joint venture Essential Oils of Tasmania (“EOT”) made progress in expanding the range of services and products offered domestically and internationally. Tasmanian products are continuing to receive international interest which is a strong reflection of the high quality goods produced from the region. The Board continues to explore several prospective paths forward. Although Atlas Pearls has received an unqualified audit report, I would like to draw shareholders attention to the Going Concern section of the Annual Report on page 36 and the emphasis of matter paragraph in the Auditors report on page 71. The Board is confident that the successful implementation of operational changes will provide the Company with a solid foundation to springboard into future profitability. Importantly, we would like to thank all shareholders for their support as we continue to build a turnaround. Geoff Newman Chairman ANNUAL REPORT | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | 5 For personal use only ATLAS PEARLS LTD 2019 CELEBRATING A 25 YEAR LOVE STORY Passionate people from all corners of the world partnered in the early 1990’s to learn the ropes of modern hatchery-based pearling with the same objective: producing the best South Sea Pearls. Aligning a labour-intensive 4-year production cycle is no easy task. Cultural intelligence and sustainability have been at the forefront of the growth of Atlas Pearls since its inception. 1990 1993 THE FIRST PINCTADA MAXIMA HATCHERY FIRST ATLAS PILOT VENTURE IN KUPANG Triggering spawning through temperature shock was proven relatively easy. It is not clear which country or company can claim the set-up of the first commercially viable hatchery. Providing baby oysters with the right plankton cocktail at the right time and interval on the other hand will remain a well guarded secret within the industry for many years. In 1993 Atlas opened its pilot pearling venture in Kupang - East Nusa Tenggara. This coincided with Atlas listing on the Australian Stock Exchange with the visionary objective of becoming an eco- pearling venture. This provided the opportunity to the public to own a piece of a pioneering industry located throughout the pristine and wild waters of Indonesia. The founding principles of the Company are anchored on sustainability, and whilst this lengthens the business cycle from two to four years, hatchery technology reduced greatly the need for wild oysters and the industry became non-extractive. 6 | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | ANNUAL REPORT For personal use only CELEBRATING A 25 YEAR LOVE STORY ATLAS PEARLS LTD 2019 1998 2000 ATLAS OPENS ALYUI PEARL FARM - RAJA AMPAT ATLAS’ FIRST HUB IN BALI The Indonesian archipelago of Raja Ampat lies in the Coral Triangle, and covers an area from the Philippines to Timor to Papua New Guinea. In 2000 Atlas expanded operations to Bali with it’s first hub for breeding and seeding in Penyabagan, North Bali and commenced genetically based selective oyster breeding. Many marine species that thrive here cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Atlas’ Alyui farm launched with just 15 staff sharing tents in the jungle but quickly became a secluded and self-sustaining hatchery-to-harvest pearling hub. Specialised sites enabled the allocation of oysters at specific ages to farm sites offering specific food sources as well as access to qualified personnel at various production stages. Each oyster is handled more than 600 times throughout it’s productive life before producing a pearl at the end of the four years. The challenge of selective breeding has been, and remains, to identify the best parent oysters to provide outstanding qualities that will translate into the most desired pearl virtues (shape, size, shade, surface and shine).

ALOR 6. ALYUI BAY Australia 2005 2011 ATLAS HARVESTS 100,000 PEARLS ATLAS EXPANDS, HARVESTS 300,000 PEARLS By 2005 Atlas’ production doubled reaching 100,000 pearls. The North Bali site became fully operational, and the Company to validated it’s specialised technical hub concept. Atlas implemented various reforms geared towards productivity gains and consistency from hatchery until seeding focusing on comparative and competitive gains. In 2008-2009 the pearling industry was strongly disrupted by the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). Pearl prices devalue at trade level triggering an unprecedented consolidation move at production level. Only a handful of passionate and innovative pearling operators survived. Listening and respecting natures’ cycles remains the main driver for successful farmers, however, modern pearling requires mastery at every corner of the process from hatchery-to-harvest while operating at an economic scale. By 2011, Atlas opened a second hub in Lembata – Solor, two farms in Pungu - Flores and Alor and also a dedicated selective breeding and research and development centre in Garogak - North Bali. Atlas further secured its competitive advantage and increased geographical spread to diversify against environmental threats. Pungu Island qualified as another ‘frontier’ in line with Alyui due to it’s location in Labuan Bajo, right at the gate of the world famous Komodo Dragon National Park. 8 | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | ANNUAL REPORT For personal use only ATLAS PEARLS LTD 2019 2018 ATLAS OPENS BANYUBIRU PEARL FARM The pearl industry is now mature, nurturing competitive and comparative advantages are a must within the industry. Atlas opens a farm in Banyu Biru - East Java, the Company’s first site with direct current flow from the Indian Ocean. Global warming is no longer an epiphenomenon but a proven fact triggering unusual and extreme weather occurrences such as super typhoons or freak tides. Our climate and seasons are primarily driven by surface and deep ocean currents which are now more often disrupted by events called El Nino and La Nina. This results in significant changes on plankton supply both in quantity and quality, calling for sites with alternatives food supply. Atlas aims to harvest 500,000 pearls in 2019 with an on going focus on quality. ANNUAL REPORT | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | 9 For personal use only PEOPLE. PLANET. PEARLS. Atlas pearl farm, Pungu Island, Flores. For personal use only For personal use only MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR For personal use only ATLAS PEARLS 2019 MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR It has been 25 years since Atlas opened its pilot farm in Kupang, Indonesia. 28 years since the perfection of hatchery technology applied to Pinctada Maxima oysters allowed the industry to become non-extractive and Atlas to almost double in size every five years. Next financial year will be the last year of Atlas’ five year growth plan, initiated in 15/16. Production increased 61% from 293,257 pearls in 14/15 and 15% compared with last year. Almost 500,000 pearls were harvested between July 2018 and June 2019. Revenue grew 14% from $14.2M in 17/18 to $16.2M. Unfortunately, nacre growth and resulting average pearl size remained disappointing this year, calling for further structural and operational adjustments. Operations delivered a loss before tax of $1.2M against a loss of $2.0M last year. Team driven efficiencies and productivity gains along the value chain allowed the Company to contain operating expenses at the same level as 17/18 in spite of a larger biomass and increased number of pearls to harvest, grade and bring to market. Pearl trading remained stable for white South Sea pearls whilst prices for coloured South Sea pearls have been volatile as a result of the increasing influence of the Chinese market and global trading uncertainties. Trade loans from long standing clients have proven mutually beneficial this year to secure client’s pearl supply and allow Atlas to make necessary adjustments to harvest and sales schedules. Atlas held four private auctions in Kobe, Japan and three complementary private sales events in Hong Kong, both delivered satisfactory prices. All operational efforts have been focused on the base objective of seeding the best oysters, within the ideal windows, utilising the best techniques. Quality reforms have been implemented over the past few years to accompany and support the Company’s growth plan. Current harvest profiles are necessitating for further knowledge and operation consolidations to enable the Company to adjust to ever changing environmental and market conditions. Key achievements for the year are: • • • • Confirmed oyster survival rate now allows a more selective pre-operation process, Sustained post-operation retention allows more efficient use of available resources, Collaboration with trade partners and stable prices reflects the sustained demand for Atlas Pearls’ products, and The Company’s newly opened pearl farm, Banyu Biru, East Java, shows promising shell nacre growth. Going forward, Atlas is committed to increasing collaboration with industry partners to grow the pearl market, to increase knowledge of the global environments and to become more relevant to clients whilst ensuring the safety and continuous development of our people.

OPERATING RESULTS The operating revenue for the year ended 30 June 2019 was $16.2M, an increase of $2.0M (30 June 2018: $14.2M). The increase in harvest quantities provided the Company with additional revenue this year, however the potential of this revenue was challenged as a result of disappointing pearl sizes. Administration, finance and marketing expense costs of $6.2M were consistent with prior year (30 June 2018: $6.3M) as a result of management’s ability to maintain costs achieved during 30 June 2018 in response to the adverse environmental conditions which impacted prior year harvest results. The Company continues to collaborate with clients and has resecured a short term trade loan to manage the transition between seeding and harvest. Refer to note 17.4 for further details on current financing arrangements. 4.2.5. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 4.2.5.1. PEARLING Operational process improvements implemented in 17/18 have been validated, with confirmed oyster survival rate allowing for a more selective pre-operation process. After four years of dedicated growth, the Company has entered a consolidation phase to align processes and optimise current infrastructure. The Company is now focusing on density management to provide oysters with improved access to nutrients. This, combined with better oyster survival, improves Atlas Pearls competitive advantage and partially offsets potential future environmental factors which may affect oyster and pearl cultivation. The Company’s newly opened pearl farm, Banyu Biru, East Java, shows promising shell nacre growth validating reforms implemented. The new site is less than three hours from the North Bali farm and is a cost efficient way of diversifying biomass. Whilst implemented improvements increased oyster survival, nacre growth issues on oysters already seeded has resulted in another demanding year for Atlas and realised increases in pearl numbers did not translate into targeted profit. 18 | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | ANNUAL REPORT For personal use only DIREC TORS’ REPORT 4.2.5.2. PEARLING VALUE ADDED The Company’s revenue stream is split into the following categories; • • • Trade sales, achieved through a mix of auctions and private sales, Australian wholesale sales, and Retail sales. Trade sales represent 90% of the Company’s revenue and will remain a key focus for 19/20 with the mix of sales events adjusted to allow the Company to engage in more face-to-face negotiations to ensure maximum profit margins and increased customer service. Demand has been stable for white South Sea pearls with Atlas Pearls harvests achieving over 97% white and silver pearls in 18/19. The Australian retail market continues to show signs of decline and combined wholesale and retail revenues have decreased by 13% in comparison to the prior year. As a result of the softening markets, an increased effort is being made to improve the Company’s online presence. Efforts towards improving the desirability of the Indonesian South Sea pearl will continue at all levels of the value chain. 4.2.5.3. NATURAL EXTRACTS Essential Oils of Tasmania Pty (EOT), a 50% joint venture of Atlas Pearls, delivered an improved profit of $328k this financial year compared to a profit of $78k last year. EOT has experienced improved crop yields on existing crops, as well as of new extracts from native crop such as Kunzea. Over the past year the joint venture has further integrated downstream processes. Process and marketing efforts have strongly contributed to continuing international interest reflecting the high quality goods produced from the region. 4.2.6 AUDIT OPINION The financial report has been audited independently and received an unmodified opinion. Refer to page 29 for the Independent Auditors Report and Opinion. 4.2.7 PERSONNEL Staff numbers at the end of the year were as follows: INDONESIAN NATIONALS PART TIME INDONESIAN NATIONALS PERMANENT EXPATRIATES INDONESIA AUSTRALIA 2016 444 2017 544 2018 414 2019 248 2016 422 2017 476 2018 486 2019 540 2016 22 2017 21 2018 15 2019 17 2016 19 2017 19 2018 13 2019 13 ANNUAL REPORT | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | 19 For personal use only DIREC TORS’ REPORT 5. Dividends No dividends were declared and paid by the Company during the period ended 30 June 2019 (30 June 2018: nil). 6. Events Since the end of the Financial Year On 3 July 2019, Atlas Pearls received ¥200M (AUD $2.6M) in short term financing from a commercial partner. The loan is repayable by 30 June 2020. There have been no other material events since the end of the financial year. 7. Likely Developments and Expected Results of Operations The Company’s ability to harvest increased quantities of pearls whilst decreasing unit production costs has been validated during the financial year with the focus now on understanding the internal process drifts that have caused the decreased pearl value. Distribution channels remain strong, with increased focus on customer relationships. Global demand remains strong for high quality South Sea pearls. Results from process improvements are expected to come to fruition in the second half of the upcoming financial year.

ANNUAL REPORT | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | 21 For personal use only DIREC TORS’ REPORT 13.1. REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE 13.1.1. ROLE OF THE BOARD IN REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE Remuneration governance is the responsibility of the full the Board as per a resolution passed on 27 February 2017. Primary responsibilities include recommendations including; • • • • Non-Executive Director fees, Remuneration levels of Executive Directors and other Key Management Personnel, The overarchiving Executive remuneration framework and the operation of incentive plans, and Key performance indicators (“KPI’s”) and performance hurdles for the Executive team. The objective is to ensure that Remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long term interest of the Company. Assessing performance and claw-back of remuneration The Board is responsible for assessing performance against KPIs and determining the short-term incentives (“STI”) and long-term incentives (“LTI”) to be paid. To assist in this assessment, the Board receives detailed reports on performance from management which are based on independently verifiably data such as financial measures, market share and data from independently run surveys. In the event of serious misconduct or a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements, the Board may cancel or defer performance based remuneration and may also claw back performance-based remuneration paid in previous financial years. 13.1.2. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION POLICY Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the Directors. Non-Executive Directors’ fees are reviewed annually by the Board. Consideration is given to the remuneration of comparable companies when setting fee levels. The Non-Executive Directors’ aggregate annual remuneration may not exceed $350,000 which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. This limit was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 30 May 2007. In the period ending 30 June 2019, the total Non-Executive Directors’ fees including retirement benefit contributions were $178,114 (30 June 2018: $148,947). The following fees have applied: • • Base fees for Non-Executive Directors is $50,000 per annum. The Independent Non-Executive Chairman’s fee is $78,000 per annum. 13.1.3. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION POLICY AND FRAMEWORK In determining Executive remuneration, the Board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are: • • • • Competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent Aligned to the Company’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder value Transparent, and Acceptable to shareholders. Executive remuneration framework has three components; • • • Base pay and benefits, including superannuation Short-term performance incentives (refer section 13.3 for individual detail), and Long-term incentives through participation in the Atlas South Sea Pearl Limited Employee Share Plan and Employee Option Plan. Employment contracts are in place between the Company (or its subsidiaries) and all Key Management Personnel. Under these contracts, Key Management Personnel are paid a base salary (which may be provided in the form of cash or non-financial benefits) in accordance with their skills and experience, as well as entitlements including superannuation and accrued annual leave and long service leave. Executive salaries are reviewed annually and are adjusted to take into consideration the individuals’ responsibilities and skills compared to others within the Company and the industry. There are no guaranteed base pay increases in any of the Executives’ contracts. There were no short or medium-term cash incentives provided to any Executives of the Company during the last financial year except where noted in section 13.2 of this report. Short or medium-term cash incentives are incorporated into some Executives’ salary packages at the time of this report. 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 section 13.2). 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 Executives 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 an important factor in the long-term success of the Company. 22 | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | ANNUAL REPORT For personal use only DIREC TORS’ REPORT Use of remuneration consultants During the financial year ended 30 June 2019 the Company did not engage any remuneration consultants.

Basis of Preparation 1.1. BASIS OF PREPARATION The financial statements cover the consolidated entity of Atlas Pearls Ltd and its subsidiaries. Atlas Pearls 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 30 August 2018. The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. 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 is a for- profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss and biological assets and inventories at fair value less cost to sell. The accounting policies are consistent with those disclosed in the 2018 financial statements, except for the impact of all new or amended standards and interpretations. The following new standards and interpretations have been adopted by the Group: • • AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (refer note 3 for accounting policy) AASB 9 Financial Instruments (refer note 27 for accounting policy) The adoptions of these standards and interpretations did not result in any material changes to the Group’s accounting policies. 1.2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment 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) (b) (c) (d) (e) Determination of market value of biological assets – see note 4 Write off of inventories – see note 9 Recoverability of deferred tax asset - see note 7 Property, plant and equipment depreciation rates - see note 12 Impairment of joint venture receivables – see note 22 ANNUAL REPORT | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | 35 For personal use only NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT 1.3. GOING CONCERN The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of the business. The net loss after tax for the Group for the year ended 30 June 2019 amounts to a loss of $3.6M (30 June 2018: $2.0M loss). At 30 June 2019 the Group had a working capital balance of $3.7M (30 June 2018: $7.3M); $7.3M (30 June 2018: $9.2M) of this balance comprised of unharvested oysters due for harvest during the next 12 months. At 30 June 2019, the Group had a net asset position of $21.9M (30 June 2018: $23.9M); $17.0M (30 June 2018: $17.3M) of this balance comprised of unharvested oysters. During the year, the Company delayed a $750,000 scheduled repayment to its major shareholder. The loan was approved at the 2017 AGM and was repayable in instalments through to June 2020 which has now been extended to 30 October 2020. The Group’s long-term strategic plan remains on course, with higher seeding targets and increased oyster stock. Oyster stocks on hand (seeded and unseeded) at 30 June 2019 is 2.7M shells (30 June 2018: 2.3M shells). The Group, however, has not met its revenue forecasts for the year. Whilst the number of pieces expected to be harvested, as well as selling prices achieved at market, have been on target the proportion of goods harvested at a sellable grade and the overall weight of the harvests have been lower than expected. This had an impact on the revenue result and oyster valuation for the year, as well as on cash flow receipts. Consequently, cash flow funding will be required to bridge working capital requirements until the benefits of the growth strategy can be realised. The Company has secured short term funding of ¥200M (AUD $2.6M) in July 2019, which is repayable by 30 June 2020. The Group’s core debt facility remains in place. The balance of the debt owing to the Martin Family is $2.5M at 30 June 2019. A payment of $250k was made in February 2019 and $500k in April 2019. The remainder of the loan is to be repaid in staggered payments by October 2020. The ability of the Group to both meet its debt repayments and continue to fund its working capital requirements are dependent upon: • • • • the international market for wholesale loose white South Sea pearls maintaining existing demand levels and pricing, the Group meeting its auction forecasts, the quality of harvested pearls meeting valuation expectations, and the Group achieving profitable operations with positive operating cash flows. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its’ liabilities in the normal course of business. Management have reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will continue as a going concern. Short term funding has been obtained and will enable the Company to effectively manage its harvest schedule. Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. This financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities and appropriate disclosure that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern. 36 | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | ANNUAL REPORT For personal use only NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT PART B FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 2. 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 consistent with the 2018 Financial Statements. DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE The Group derives revenue from the transfer of goods at a point in time in major product lines and geographical regions as shown below. The operating segments are identified by management based on the manner in which the product is sold, whether wholesale or retail. 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 on a cost-plus arrangement as per the Advance Pricing Agreement (APA) effective 01 July 2017 through to 30 June 2020. The transfer price terms per the APA are between 11.8% and 16.47%. 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. Segment revenue reconciles to total revenue from contracts with customers in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as follows: Total Segment Revenue Inter-segment eliminations Other revenues Total revenue from contracts with customers (Note 3) 3,490,673 698,782 3,721,662 763,888 2019 $ 2018 $ 31,056,073 26,841,664 (14,853,766) (12,681,580) 38,418 88 16,240,725 14,162,190 2019 Australia Japan Other Countries 2018 Australia Japan Other Countries 12,051,270 9,676,640 Major customers by country ANNUAL REPORT | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | 37 For personal use only NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2.1.

AASB 15 requires an entity to recognise revenue in a manner that represents the transfer of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled. This means that revenue will be recognised when control of goods and/or services is transferred, rather than on transfer of risks and rewards. The Directors have reviewed and assessed the Group’s recognition and measurement of revenue from 1 July 2018 based on the facts and circumstances that existed from this date and concluded that the application of AASB 15 has had no material impact on the recognition or measurement of the revenue for the Group in the current reporting period. Revenue from contracts with customers Revenue is recognised when the Group transfers control of products to a customer at the amount to which the Group expects to be entitled. Revenue shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The amount of revenue arising on a transaction is usually determined by an agreement between the Group and the customer. Sale of Goods - Wholesale The Group produces and sells pearls in the wholesale market. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at a point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which is typically on delivery. Sale of Goods - Retail The Group operates a chain of retail stores selling pearl jewellery. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the Group transfers control of the product to the customer, which is typically at the point of sale. 40 | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | ANNUAL REPORT For personal use only NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT 4.

The details of the Biological Assets that are held by the Group as at period end are as follows: QUANTITY HELD WITHIN THE GROUP NUMBER OF PEARLS JUVENILE AND MATURE OYSTERS 2017 1,592,684 NUCLEATED OYSTERS 1,153,250 2017 2018 2017 2018 2019 2019 2018 2019 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. Level 3 analysis: The finance and operations departments undertake the valuation of the oysters. 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 note 4.1.

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 25.1 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 in- come 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.

The deferred tax assets include an amount of $3,709,198 which relates to carried forward tax losses. During the year ended 30 June 2019 the Group converted an intercompany quasi-equity loan to equity, crystallising tax losses relating to foreign exchange movements. As a result of this transaction the Group has concluded that the total value of the tax losses available to the Group will not be fully utilised within the next five years and have reversed $2,239,840 of previously recognised deferred tax assets. The losses can be carried forward indefinitely and have no expiry date. 46 | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | ANNUAL REPORT For personal use only NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT PART D CASH FLOW INFORMATION 8.

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%). The estimations of useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods require significant management judgements and are regularly reviewed. If they need to be modified, the depreciation and amortisation expense is accounted for prospectively from the date of the assessment until the end of the revised useful life (for both the current and future years).

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, canceled 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.

ANNUAL REPORT | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | 53 For personal use only NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT PART H FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 17. 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 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: FINANCIAL ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Derivative financial instruments TOTAL FINANCIAL ASSETS FINANCIAL LIABILITIES Trade and other payables Borrowings TOTAL FINANCIAL LIABILITIES 17.1. MARKET RISK (I) FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK 2019 $ 2018 $ 1,017,220 1,278,873 310,502 20,405 361,707 6,465 1,348,127 1,647,045 824,821 3,620,140 4,444,961 426,668 4,060,482 4,487,150 The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the Japanese Yen (“JPY”) , Indonesian Rupiah (“IDR”) and US Dollars (“USD”). 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. 54 | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | ANNUAL REPORT For personal use only NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT GROUP SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS Sensitivity analysis is based on exchange rates in US Dollars and Japanese Yen increasing or decreasing by 10% and the effect on profit and equity.

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. The loan balance as at 30 June 2019 was $2,736,848 (30 June 2018: AUD$2,606,814). 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. Current borrowings are repayable by 30 June 2020 and non-current borrowings are repayable by 30 October 2020, both 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. 17.2. 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 below. 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. Impairment of financial assets The Group hold trade receivables that are subject to the expected credit loss model. While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of AASB 9, the identified impairment loss was immaterial. Trade receivables The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring the expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. ANNUAL REPORT | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | 55 For personal use only NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 36 months before 30 June 2019 or 1 July 2018 respectively and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. On that basis, the loss allowance as at 30 June 2019 and 1 July 2018 (on adoption of AASB 9) was determined to be nil. Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the group and failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due. Impairment losses on trade receivables are presented as net impairment losses within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item. TRADE RECEIVABLES Wholesale customers – existing customers with no previous defaults Derivative financial assets 17.3. LIQUIDITY RISK 2019 $ 2018 $ 288,798 20,405 312,055 6,465 Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. 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 8) 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. 17.4. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS The Group had access to the following fixed rate borrowing facilities at the reporting date. Foreign currency trade loans Overdraft facility (NAB) 2019 $ - 1,500,000 1,500,000 2018 $ 810,482 1,500,000 2,310,482 • • • • • • During the year ended 30 June 2019, the Company maintained the existing $1,500,000 working capital overdraft facility with the National Australia Bank (NAB). The overdraft facility will be secured by a registered company charge over the Company’s Assets. As at 30 June 2019, $1,120,140 (30 June 2018: Nil) has been drawn down on this facility. During the year ended 30 June 2019, repayments of $750,000 have been made to the debt financing package from Mr. Martin (Non- Executive Director) and the Martin Family (a related party). $250,000 in February 2018 and $500,000 in April 2019 in accordance with the loan contract. During the year ended 30 June 2019 the Company agreed to extend the debt financing package with the Martin Family (related party) by deferring the $750,000 principal payment due in June 2019 to October 2020. The loan originally commenced in January 2017 and was repayable over a three year period at a 7.5% interest rate, in staged repayments to be completed by 30 June 2020. Due to the deferral of the 30 June 2019 repayment to 30 October 2020 the initial loan term has been extended from 3 years to 3 years and 4 months. There are no other variations to the “Varied Loan Agreement” that was approved by shareholders on 13 September 2017. Mr. Martin (Non-Executive Director) has been discharged from the loan and the outstanding loan balance at 30 June 2019 of $2,500,000 is repayable to the Martin Family (a related party) at a 7.5% interest rate, in staged repayments to be completed by 30 October 2020. During the year ended 30 June 2018, the Company agreed to two unsecured short term loans of US$600,000 and ¥100,000,000 provided by two commercial partners. The ¥100,000,000 loan commenced in February 2018 and was repaid in full on 25 June 2018. The US$600,000 was drawn down in May 2018 and was repaid in full on 30 April 2019. On 1 July 2018, the Company agreed to an unsecured short term loan of ¥165,000,000. The loan was repaid in full on 17 June 2019. On 9 April 2019, the Company agreed to an unsecured short term loan of ¥200,000,000. The loan is to be repaid in full on or before 30 June 2020. 56 | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | ANNUAL REPORT For personal use only NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT 17.5.

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 2019 there are no level 3 related instruments in place. 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. The Group is exposed to financial risk in respect of its involvement in primary production which consists of 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 expenditure of cash in relation to the operation of the farm and the harvesting if the pearls and realisation of cash receipts from 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. Level 3 analysis: The finance and operations departments undertake the valuation of the oysters. The calculations are considered to be level 3 fair values. The data is taken from internal management reporting work and work completed by the executive within the respective field teams to determine the material inputs in the model. The key production inputs are confirmed with the relevant executives and agree with the Board of Directors every six. These are listed in point (C) below.

Related party transactions (A) SUBSIDIARIES Interests in subsidiaries are set out in note 21. (B) JOINT VENTURES World Senses Pty Ltd was formed on 29 November 2012 as a joint venture between Nomad Two Worlds Global Trading Pte Ltd and Atlas Pearls Ltd. At 30 June 2019, there is a net loan balance of $698,212 owing from World Senses Pty Ltd to Atlas (30 June 2018: $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 Atlas from World Senses Pty Ltd 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 was acquired in January 2013 as a 100% subsidiary. On 20 April 2015 50% of the investment in the entity was sold to Westwood Properties Pty Ltd. Post this sale Essential Oils of Tasmania Pty Ltd has been deemed a joint venture and accounted for using the equity method.

The Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. In relation to the $2,180,879 loan receivable from EOT, the Group have determined that there was an increase in SICR since initial recognition, therefore they were required to recognise the lifetime expected credit loss and recognise interest on a gross basis. The probability of default estimated by management was 15%, therefore the calculated allowance for credit loss is not material and has not been brought to account. 60 | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | ANNUAL REPORT For personal use only NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT (C) KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL COMPENSATION Detailed remuneration disclosures are provided in section 13.2 of the remuneration report.

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.

EMPLOYEE SALARY SACRIFICE SHARE PLAN At the Annual General Meeting on 20 November 2018 it was resolved by the shareholders to approve the Atlas Pearls Ltd Employee Option Plan (“Plan”). The Board adopted the 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 valued Directors, Executives, employees, consultants and contractors. The Plan will be used as part of the remuneration planning for Directors, Executives, employees, consultants and contractors. Under the Plan, participants are granted options which can only vest if share price increases 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 receive any guaranteed benefits. The Corporate Governance Council Guidelines recommend that remuneration packages involve a balance between fixed and incentive pay reflecting shirt and long-term performance objectives appropriate to the Company’s circumstance 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. An option which has not vested will immediately lapse upon the first to occur of: I. The expiry of the option period; II. If an eligible person’s employment or engagement with the Company ceases because of an uncontrollable event, the last day of any period specified in clause 25(b); and iii. If an eligible Person’s employment or engagement with the Company ceases because of a controllable event, the last day of any period specified in clause 25(b), subject to clause 25(a). 25.2. OPTIONS ON ISSUE On 20 November 2018 21,269,928 options exercisable at $0.027 each, on or before 30 June 2021 (expiry date), were issued to employees of the Company on the terms and conditions set out in the Explanatory Memorandum ratified at the Annual General Meeting held on 20 November 2018. 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 the options is based on 142.8% of the volume weighted average share price at which the Company’s shares are traded on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) during the 30 trading days prior to the date of the grant.

FAIR VALUE OF OPTIONS GRANTED The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted during the year ended 30 June 2019 was $0.00984 (21,269,928 options). This valuation imputes a total value of approximately $209,296 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 Hoadley Trading & Investment valuation model which 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 2019 are detailed below: I. II. III. IV. V. VI. VII. VIII. and three-year trading periods. Options are granted for no consideration; Vesting dates - Tranche one will vest immediately, Tranche two will vest on 01 July 2019 and Tranche 3 will vest on 01 July 2020; Exercise price - $0.0270, Grant date - 20 November 2018, Share price at grant date - $0.019, Expected price volatility of the Company’s shares - 100%, Expected dividend yield - 0%, and Risk-free Interest rate - 2.13%.The expected price volatility is based on the historical weekly volatility of the Company over two Where options are issued to employees of subsidiaries within the Group, the subsidiaries compensate Atlas Pearls for the amount recognised as an expense in relation to these options. 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: Option expense Option release for forfeited options TOTAL SHARE-BASED PAYMENT EXPENSE 2019 $ 134,080 - 134,080 2018 $ 20,518 (20,518) - 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 Share Based Payments: 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.

NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP 2019 $ 2018 $ 101,148 93,279 46,786 30,781 147,934 124,060 2,328 2,328 5,100 5,100 150,262 129,160 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 2019 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 AMENDMENT AFFECTED STANDARD(S) NATURE OF CHANGE TO ACCOUNTING POLICY APPLICATION DATE OF STANDARD APPLICATION DATE FOR GROUP AASB 16 eliminates the operating and finance lease classifi- cations 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. 1 Jan 19 1 July 19 AASB 16 Leases IMPACT ON INITIAL APPLICATION: 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 Pearls has identified the following lease where this standard change will have an impact: • Claremont office lease held by the parent entity. 27.2. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Atlas Pearls as at 30 June 2019 and the results of its subsidiaries for the period then ended. Atlas Pearls 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. 66 | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | ANNUAL REPORT For personal use only NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT 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. 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. 27.3. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION (A) FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY 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 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.

COMPARATIVE FIGURES When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial period. 27.5. 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. 27.6. 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, long service leave and superannuation Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date. Employee entitlements expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising from wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave which will be settled after one year have been measured at their nominal amount. Other employee entitlements payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those entitlements. Liabilities due to be paid within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables. The liability for long service is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. 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 Employee Share Plan Pty Ltd. Information relating to this scheme is set out in note 25. 27.7. 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. 27.8. 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. 27.9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces the provisions of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, de-recognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. The adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments from 1 July 2018 did not give rise to any material transitional adjustments. In accordance with the transitional provisions in AASB 9 (7.2.15) and (7.2.26), comparative figures have not been restated. Classification and measurement Except for certain trade receivables the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Under AASB 9 financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), amortised cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The classification is based on two criteria: The Group’s business model for managing the assets; and whether the instruments’ contractual cash flows represent ‘solely payments of principal and interest’ on the principal amount outstanding (the ‘SPPI criterion’). 68 | ATLAS PEARLS LTD | ANNUAL REPORT For personal use only NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT The new classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets are, as follows: Debt instruments at amortised cost, for financial assets that are held within a business model with the objective to hold the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that meet the ‘SPPI criterion’. This category includes the Group’s trade and other receivables and long-term loan receivable. On transition to AASB 9 the assessment of the Group’s business models was made as of the date of initial application, 1 July 2018. The assessment of whether contractual cash flows on debt instruments are solely comprised of principal and interest was made based on the facts and circumstances as at the initial recognition of the assets. Impairment From 1 July 2018 the Group assesses, on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses (ECLs) associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive. The shortfall is then discounted at an approximation to the asset’s original effective interest rate. For trade receivables, the Group has applied the standard’s simplified approach and has calculated ECLs based on lifetime expected credit losses. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. The loss allowance calculated for 30 June 2019 is $nil due to past history with Customers who have never previously defaulted on amounts due. For other debt financial assets including long term loan receivables, the ECL is based on either the 12-month or lifetime ECL. The 12-month ECL is the portion of lifetime ECLs that results from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. When there has been a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the allowance will be based on the lifetime ECL. In all cases, the Group considers that there has been a significant increase in credit risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due. The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payment are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. 27.10. INCOME TAX The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the 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 assets and liabilities have been bought to account after considering the level of tax losses carried forward and available to the Group against future taxable profits and the probability within the future that taxable profits will be available against which the benefits of the deductible temporary difference can be claimed.
