THE EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
Dear Shareholders
Whilst reporting a loss $8.1m for the 2019/20 financial year, Atlas has made major advancements in a
number of key areas to secure its future as a profitable producer of South Sea Pearls.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the reported financial result with sales of $13.7m
down by $2.5m (15.4%) against 2018/19.
The pandemic presented Atlas with a range of unique challenges that required an immediate and nimble
organisational response. It also confirmed the importance of the operational improvement reforms already
underway and the need to re-align our distribution systems closer to our end-customers.
Achievements over the year include:
OPERATIONS
Seedings for the year were 821,000 – in line with expectations.
Improvements in retention rates (i.e. less mortalities) have
allowed us to settle at a seeding rate of around 800-850,000
animals for the production of 500-550,000 pearls. This has caused
a short-term drag on capital with more “animals in the water” but
ultimately will stabilise at a lower level of capital employed with
associated operational efficiencies.
Through improvements in hatchery processes, we can achieve
these production metrics by selecting larger animals for seeding
thus improving our minimum pearl size.
Our new key technical people are ensuring that all seeding
events are supervised and have introduced disciplined standard
operating procedures to minimise pearl impairment through
technical drift.
We have also taken steps to improve our herd genetics by
introducing larger and stronger breeding stock to address the
small pearl problem (at least to the extent it is not caused by
environmental factors).
By necessity, with the short-term reduction in sales, we have
moved towards a more optimal harvest cycle of 24 months
from seeding with measurable improvements in pearl size and
selling prices already in evidence.
We have also identified and secured a new farming site which
will enable us to consolidate operations to the best performing
farms.
SALES AND DISTRIBUTION
FUNDING
Our traditional distribution channels were challenged over the year
and numbers attending auctions in Kobe at any one time was limited
by social distancing guidelines. A key member of our sales team, a
former Kobe resident, was in the city at the time of the lock-down
and has remained there to oversee auctions and conduct continuous
private sales as loose pearl stocks become available.
With 80-90% of our sales ultimately reaching the Chinese market, this
has caused the Company to question the efficacy of the traditional
auction system and to examine more efficient wholesale paths to
reach our final customers.
Distributor and agency partnerships closer to the end market are
now under consideration as are novel channels for realising better
returns on our lower grade pieces.
The closure of all shop-front retail was completed during the year and
the Company has moved to an on-line model with a disciplined and
limited number of price-pointed pieces to meet a younger market
and show-case the beauty of our product. The same range will be
offered through our farm stores when the tourism industry recovers.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Following announcements by the World Health Organisation (WHO)
declaring the spread of COVID-19 as a Global Pandemic in March
2020, the Australian Government announced relief initiatives to
eligible businesses. As a result of the downturn in sales revenue,
the Company met selected criteria, qualifying for the Government’s
JobKeeper initiative, which has resulted in a direct cash injection
of $45k for the financial year. The Company also received $50k
from the ATO via the ‘Cash Flow Boost’ initiative. COVID-19 relief
measures include a waiver to payroll tax from March to June 2020,
additionally the Office of State Revenue (OSR) announced that the
JobKeeper Payment Scheme would be exempt from payroll tax.
Other commercial savings included a waiver for rent totalling $24k
and a deferral of $24k. From 9 April 2020, Australian and Indonesian
expatriate employees agreed to reduce their base employment
benefits and Directors’ fees by 20% for the period April 2020 to June
2020 and 10% effective July 2020 (ongoing) to assist the Company
manage its expenses.
Although the global pandemic of COVID-19 has had an adverse
impact to the business, key management has adapted and put in
place strategies such as reducing discretionary spending, reducing
the number of permanent positions no longer required and
increasing the focus on alterative distribution channels.
4 / ATLAS PEARLS LTD • ANNUAL REPORT
Reduced sales in 2019/20, the build-up of finished goods and oyster
inventory has increased the immediate requirement for working
capital. We have addressed this by:
1.
2.
3.
Selling the Company’s 50% ownership in the joint venture
Essential Oils of Tasmania realising a cash injection of $1,500,000;
Successful collaboration with a commercial partner allowing
the Company to renegotiate repayments on its short-term trade
loan;
Post year end, securing an additional $2m loan from the
Company’s largest shareholder.
Although Atlas has received an unqualified audit report, I would like
to draw shareholders attention to the Going Concern section of the
Annual Report on page 26 and the emphasis of matter paragraph in
the Auditors report on page 64.
I would like to conclude by acknowledging the extraordinary
contribution of all of our people over the past twelve months. Living
and managing operations in remote locations is challenging at the
best of times. COVID-19 has added to these challenges with regional
travel restrictions in Indonesia impacting both the movement of
employees and farm supplies.
The expressions of commitment from the Atlas team to the need to
make short-term cuts in remuneration was truly heartening and our
priority remains the health and safety of our employees, especially as
many of them are isolated on farm sites.
There are still many uncertainties with the impact of the pandemic
ongoing. We remain positive about the future based on key
achievements this year and are particularly hopeful about the early
indicators of improved harvests.
We would like to thank all shareholders for their support as we
navigate these unprecedented conditions.

OPERATING RESULTS
The operating revenue for the year ended 30 June 2020 was $13.7M, a decrease of $2.5M (30 June 2019: $16.2M).
Administration, finance and marketing expense costs of $5.7M were $0.5M below prior year (30 June 2019: $6.2M). Atlas sucessfully established
an economical cost base during the FY2019 year and management responded efficiently to sales challenges faced as a result of COVID-19 by
implementing short-term cost saving measures. The Company continues to collaborate with clients and has negotiated an adjusted repayment
schedule on its short-term trade loan. Refer to note 18.4 for further details on current financing arrangements.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
4.2.5.1.
PEARLING
The Company’s pearling operations includes two hatcheries, where oysters grow from 0-2 years, and four grow out farms, where the seeded
oysters grow pearls from 2-4 years. The extensive farm network ensures that the Company has a diverse biomass across several locations
decreasing the inherent risk of aquaculture.
At the end of 2019/20 the Company was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and responded by making the strategic decision to move the
pearl grow cycle to the industry ideal of 24 months. The Company extended the growing time of all of the seeded oysters and anticipates that
this will increase the overall size and weight of the pearls Atlas produces. Early indications that pearl quality has improved as a result of the
extended grow out are promising.
Oyster survival rate continues to show improvements and has allowed an operational shift to focus on the pre-operation selection of oysters.
Ensuring that only the best oysters are selected for pearl operation.
Atlas is continuing to focus on density management to provide oysters with improved access to nutrients.

4.2.5.2.
PEARLING VALUE ADDED
During the financial year, the retail market continued to show signs of decline and as a result the Company made the decision to close its
Claremont, Western Australia and Seminyak, Bali stores in November 2019. Retail farms store sales remained steady. The retail farm stores give
customers the opportunity to experience an incredible insight into village life and the beauty and diversity of the island, whilst meeting the
people behind our pearls. Atlas remains committed to providing this unique experience to facilitate the education of beautiful south sea pearls.
Trade sales will remain the key focus of the Company’s revenue. By-product sales are proving a positive venture, and the Company will explore
how best to maximise this avenue.
4.2.5.3. NATURAL EXTRACTS
On 30 June 2020, the Company announced the sale of the 50% joint venture, Essential Oils of Tasmania Pty (EOT).
Atlas has been actively reviewing the strategic options around the EOT joint venture. The growing need for additional funding in EOT to produce
the required commercial return has culminated in Atlas’ decision to sell it’s holding. Refer to note 24 for further information.

Events Since the end of the Financial Year
At report date, the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and casts uncertainty over the Company’s ability to realise future
sales. It is not practical to reliably measure any future impact, as the situation continues to rapidly develop and is dependant on measures
imposed by each country’s Government. Travel restrictions, quarantine rules, social distancing regulations and commercial flight availability all
influence the Company’s ability to move pearls and people. Management are closely watching the situation and are proactively responding to
developments to ensure as minimum business disruption as possible.
On 27 August, the Group entered into a new loan agreement with Boneyard Investments Pty Ltd (Boneyard) which replaces its Existing Loan
Agreement and pursuant to which agreement, Boneyard has agreed to make a revolving loan facility available to Atlas. The aggregate of all
loans provided by Boneyard under the Facility will be an amount equal to $4.5M, being the $2.5M loan outstanding under the Existing Loan
Agreement as well as an additional loan in the amount of $2M. Refer note 18.4 for full details.

Likely Developments and Expected Results of Operations
There are still many uncertainties as a result of the pandemic, the risk of further waves and imposed Government restrictions remain unclear. The
Company is making all efforts to protect the health and safety of our employees whilst ensuring sufficient pearl availability to respond to sales
events as and when they become available. Management are actively seeking alternative distribution channels, in the event that the traditional
auction halls are not available but financial performance will be entirely market dependant.
Oyster care and best practices remain at the forefront of farming operations, and oyster volumes will remain consistent with 19/20. The
company expects to increase biomass at the Banybiru pearl farm, purchased in 2018 to maximum capacity.
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 Securities Exchange

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.
Use of remuneration consultants
During the financial year ended 30 June 2020 the Company did not engage any remuneration consultants.
Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2019 Annual General Meeting
Atlas Pearls received 95% of “yes” votes on adoption of the remuneration report for the 2019 financial year. On the resolution to elect Director
Mr Timothy Martin, Atlas Pearls received 99% of “yes” votes. On the resolution to approve the approval of the Employee Share Option Plan, Atlas
Pearls received 91% of “yes” votes. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the Annual General Meeting or throughout the year on
its remuneration.
Relationship between Key Management Personnel Remuneration and Performance

NOTES TO & FORMING PART OF THE
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PART A BASIS OF PREPARATION
1.
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
31 August 2020. 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 (AASB), 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 2019 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 16 Leases (refer note 28 for accounting policy and note 13 for impact of the transition).
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.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic has had, or may have, on the Company
based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of products offered, customers, supply chain and employees. Other
than as addressed in specific notes, there does not appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant
uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Company unfavourably at the reporting date or subsequently as a
result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
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

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.
During the year, the Group recorded a net loss of $8.1M (30 June 2019: $3.6M loss). At 30 June 2020 the Group had a working capital deficit of
($0.6M) (30 June 2019 $3.7M); $5.4M of this balance comprised of current unharvested oysters (30 June 2019: $7.3M).
Based on future cashflow forecasts, the Group will require additional funding within the next 12 months to enable it to continue its normal
business activities to ensure the realisations of assets and extinguish liabilities as and when they fall due. Post year end, an additional $2M loan
was received from the Company’s lender, Boneyard Investments Pty Ltd (Boneyard).
During the year, the Company restructured its current funding. Atlas sold its 50% ownership in the joint venture Essential Oils of Tasmania (EOT)
realising a cash injection of $1.5M Successful collaboration with a commercial partner allowed the Company to renegotiate repayments on its
short-term trade loan. A $250k long term loan was also received from National Australian Bank (NAB) as part of the Australian Government’s SME
COVID-19 loan scheme.
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 showing signs of recovery post COVID-19,
the quality of harvested pearls meeting valuation expectations, and
the Group achieving profitable operations with positive operating cash flows.
On 31 January 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic announced by the World Health Organisation (WHO) is having a negative impact on world stock
markets, currencies, and general business activity. There are still many uncertainties, at report date the impact of the pandemic is still ongoing
and the possibility of further waves and imposed Government restrictions remain unclear making it impractical to reliability measure any future
impact to the Groups financial performance.
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.
Th Directors have reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will continue as a going concern due to the realisation of cash from the sale of
the joint venture, the restructure of short-term loan and additional funds received post year end.
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.

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 2019 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 1 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:

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY
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.
Government Grants
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the loss
they are intended to compensate.
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.

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.
SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENT
Fair value should reflect market participant views and market data at the measurement date under current market conditions. The
valuation of oysters contains both observable and unobservable inputs impacted by COVID-19. Looking ahead, the impact of COVID-19
on the global economy and financial markets is expected to continue to evolve. The Group carefully considered these impacts when
assessing the fair value of oyster stocks. A fair valuation expense of $4,280,249 (2019: $1,741,557 increase) is included in the valuation of
biological assets.
ANNUAL REPORT • ATLAS PEARLS LTD / 31
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT
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.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated after taking into consideration all options and any other securities that were on issue that remain
unconverted at 30 June 2020 as potential ordinary shares which may have a dilutive effect on the profit of the Group.
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 26.1 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 26.1 for further detail.

SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENT
Deferred tax assets
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.
During the year ended 30 June 2019 the Group converted an inter-company 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 reversed $2,239,840 of previously recognised deferred tax assets.
As a result of COVID-19, the Group assessed the carrying value of deferred tax assets relating to carry forward losses. The Group has
determined that it is no longer probable that future tax profits will be available to utilise the carrying balance of tax losses within the next
five years. Therefore a further reversal of previously recognised deferred tax assets of $3,417,396 has been recognised at 30 June 2020.
The losses can be carried forward indefinitely and have no expiry date.

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 2020, a write off of pearl stocks of
$2,423,906 has been recorded (30 June 2019: $2,331,340) to bring the value in line with the assessed 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.

The Group’s customers are required to pay in accordance with agreed payment terms. Depending on the capture of the sales, settlement
terms are either cash on delivery or 30 days from the date of invoice. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consider-
ation that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The Group holds
the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised
costs using the effective interest method. Details about the Group’s impairment policies and the calculation of the loss allowance are
provided in Note 28.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY
Each class of property, plant & equipment is stated at historical cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses. 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%).
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).

(c) Impact of Adoption
The Group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 ‘Leases’ and for lessees eliminates the classification of
operating and finance leases. Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities
are recognised in the statement of financial position. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition is replaced with a depreciation charge
for the right-of-use assets (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liabilities (included in finance costs).
On transition to AASB 16 the Group has chosen to measure right of use assets as if AASB 16 had been applied since the commencement of the
lease, except that the discount rate used is the incremental borrowing rate on the date of initial application and certain practical expedients are
available (see below for the practical expedients used by the Group). The Group has used this method for all of its leases.
AASB16 was adopted using the modified retrospective approach and as such the comparatives have not been restated. In applying the modified
retrospective approach, the Group has taken advantage of the following practical expedients:
A single discount rate has been applied to portfolios of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.
Leases with a remaining term of 12 months or less from the date of application have been accounted for as short-term leases (i.e. not recognised
on balance sheet) even though the initial term of the leases from lease commencement date may have been more than 12 months.
For the purposes of measuring the right-of-use asset hindsight has been used. Therefore, it has been measured based on prevailing estimates at
the date of initial application and not retrospectively by making estimates and judgements (such as the term of leases) based on circumstances
on or after the lease commencement date.
The weighed average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 6.12%.
The impact of adoption on opening retained earnings as at 1 July 2019 was as follows:
Operating lease commitments as at 1 July 2019 (AASB 117)
Operating lease commitments discount based on the weighted average incremental borrowing rate of 6.12% (AASB 16)
Accumulated depreciation as at 1 July 2019 (AASB 16)
Right-of-use assets (AASB 16)
Lease liabilities (AASB 16)

In determining the leases terms, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise and
extension options, or not exercise termination options. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the
lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).
Extension options on leased offices in Claremont, West Australia and Sanur, Indonesia have not been included in the lease liability because
the Group could replace the assets without significant cost or business disruption.
The lease term is reassessed if an option is actually exercised (or not exercised) or the Group becomes obliged to exercise (or not exercise)
it. The assessment of reasonable certainty is only revised if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs, which affects
this assessment, and that is within the control of the lessee.

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.

PART H FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
18. 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 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.
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.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Trade debtors relates to sales made in JPY. Current borrowings are all held in AUD and JPY. Not shown in the table above is the exposure to
exchange movements on the inter-company 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 2020 was $3,810,433 (30 June 2019: AUD$2,736,848). The inter-company 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, which are repayable by 30 October 2020 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.
18.2. 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.
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit
loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions
include recent sales experience, historical collection rates, the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and forward-looking information
that is available. The allowance for expected credit losses, is calculated based on the information available at the time of preparation. The actual
credit losses in future years may be higher or lower.
Major purchases are invoiced as cash on delivery (COD). Smaller accounts are provided 30 day credit terms and are usually paid by their due date.
On that basis, the loss allowance as at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 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.

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 un-drawn 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.

During the year ended 30 June 2020, 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 2020
no amount had has been drawn down on this facility, (30 June 2019: $1,120,140).
During the year ended 30 June 2020, no repayments were made to the debt financing package from the Martin Family (a related party).
On 27 August, the Group entered into a new loan agreement with Boneyard Investments Pty Ltd (Boneyard) which replaces its Existing
Loan Agreement and pursuant to which agreement, Boneyard has agreed to make a revolving loan facility available to Atlas;
The aggregate of all loans provided by Boneyard under the Facility will be an amount equal to $4.5M, being the $2.5M loan outstanding
under the Existing Loan Agreement as well as an additional loan in the amount of $2M. Refer note 18.4 for full details;
Repayment of any loans outstanding under the Facility as at 31 March 2021 are scheduled equally over four tranches commencing on 31
March 2021, with the last tranche due for repayment on 30 September 2022;
Any amounts repaid by Atlas prior to 31 March 2021 may be re-borrowed under the Facility up to a limit of $4.5M;
Loans provided under the Facility will bear interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum (which is identical to the interest provisions under the
Existing Loan Agreement);
Subject to shareholder approval, all outstanding loans and interest under the New Loan Agreement will be convertible into shares in Atlas
in the event Atlas defaults on its repayment terms, with conversion being at Boneyard’s option In that event, the conversion price per share
will be at a 15% discount to the most recent 30 day VWAP.

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)
(c)
inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (level 2), and
inputs for the asset/liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

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.
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.
(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 2020 or 30 June 2019.

PART I UNRECOGNISED ITEMS
19. Events occurring after the reporting period
At report date, the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and casts uncertainty over the Company’s ability to realise
future sales. It is not practical to reliably measure any future impact, as the situation continues to rapidly develop and is dependant on measures
imposed by each Countries Government. Travel restrictions, quarantine rules, social distancing regulations and commercial flight availability
all influence the Company’s ability to move pearls and people. Management continue to observe the developing situation and are responding
proactively, ensuring minimum business disruption where possible.
On 27 August, the Group entered into a new loan agreement with Boneyard Investments Pty Ltd (Boneyard) which replaces its Existing Loan
Agreement and pursuant to which agreement, Boneyard has agreed to make a revolving loan facility available to Atlas. The aggregate of all
loans provided by Boneyard under the Facility will be an amount equal to $4.5M, being the $2.5M loan outstanding under the Existing Loan
Agreement as well as an additional loan in the amount of $2M. Refer note 18.4 for full details.
20. Commitments
Atlas Pearls had a bank guarantee with the National Bank of Australia for AUD$100,000 at 30 June 2020 (30 June 2019: $100,000).
This guarantee has been taken out to secure the rental of the Atlas Pearls corporate offices in Claremont, Western Australia.
21. Contingencies
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.

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 2020, there is a net loan balance of $698,212 owing from World Senses Pty Ltd to Atlas (30 June 2019: $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 (EOT) 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. On 30 June 2020, the Company announced the sale of the joint venture (refer to note 24).

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY
The financial information for the parent entity, Atlas Pearls, 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 reviewed at each reporting period for
impairment indicators.
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.
26. Share Based Payments and Options
26.1. 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.
54 / ATLAS PEARLS LTD • ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT
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.
II.
The expiry of the option period;
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
If an eligible Person’s employment or engagement with the Company ceases because of a controllable event, the last day
iii.
of any period specified in clause 25(b), subject to clause 25(a).
26.2. 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 independantly 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

as an expense in relation to these options.

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

employee becomes unconditionally entitled to the shares.

28. Accounting policies
28.1. NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards
Board (“AASB”) that are mandatory for the reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Group:
AASB 16 – Leases
The Group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 ‘Leases’ and for lessees eliminates the classification of
operating and finance leases. Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities
are recognised in the statement of financial position. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition is replaced with a depreciation charge
for the right-of-use assets (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liabilities (included in finance costs).
In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under
AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results improve as the operating expense is now
replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss.
For classification within the statement of cash flows, the interest portion is disclosed in operating activities and the principal portion of the lease
payments are separately disclosed in financing activities.
The impact on the financial performance from the adoption of this Accounting Standard is detailed in Note 13.
AASB 2018-6 Amendments to the Australia Accounting Standards – Definition of a business
This standard amends AASB 3 Business Combinations’ (“AASB 3”) definition of a business. To be considered a business, an acquisition would have
to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contributes to the ability to create outputs. The new guidance provides
a framework to evaluate when an input and a substantive process are present. The revisions to AASB 3 also introduced an optional concentration
test. If the concentration test is met, the set of activities and assets acquired is determined not to be a business combination and asset acquisition
accounting is applied. The concentration test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single
identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The Group’s assessment of the impact of this new amendment is that it is not expected
to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods.
28.2. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Atlas Pearls as at 30 June 2020 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 de-
consolidated 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.
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.

28.3.
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.
28.4.
COMPARATIVE FIGURES
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current
financial period.
28.5.
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.
28.6.
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 26.
58 / ATLAS PEARLS LTD • ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT
28.7.
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.
28.8. 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.
28.9.
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’).
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 2020 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.
28.10.
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
ANNUAL REPORT • ATLAS PEARLS LTD / 59
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT
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.
28.11
LEASES LIABILITIES
The Group leases offices in Claremont, West Australia and Sanur, Indonesia. As the leases are of real estate, the Group has elected not to separate
the lease and non-lease components and instead accounts for these as a single lease component. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual
basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants other that the security
interests in the leased assets that are held by the lessor. Leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease
payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily
determined, the consolidated entity’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives
receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise
price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable
lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change
in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase
option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit
or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.
Until the period ending 30 June 2019, leases of property, plant and equipment were classified as either finance leases or operating leases. From 1 July
2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability as the date at which the leases asset is available for use by the Group.
28.12 RIGHT OF USE ASSETS
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial
amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease
incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be
incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset,
whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the
depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months
or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. Low value assets comprise IT
equipment and vehicles.
Leases relating to the farms in Indonesia have been recognised as right of use assets and are amortised over the life of the lease. There is no lease
liability as the leases have all been prepaid on inception of the agreements.
