PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES 

The principal activity of the Company was iron ore mineral exploration in Bahia State, Brazil until 18 
October 2016 when the Company signed a binding term sheet for the purchase of 100% of the issued 
share capital in Tapit Media, a revolutionary location based mobile advertising company. The Company 
subsequently terminated the Tapit acquisition on 14 March 2017.  

On  24  April  2017,  the  Company  signed  a  binding  term  sheet  to  acquire  Bowen  Coking  Coal  Pty  Ltd, 
which holds interests in and rights to coking coal exploration and development projects in the Bowen 
Basin in Queensland.  

RESULTS 

The loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2017 was $648,291 (30 June 2016: $49,525). 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

Iron Ore - Brazil 

During the first half of the financial year, the Company conducted, in accordance with the Company’s 
business plan, due diligence on the interests of Cabral Metais Ltda in the Brazilian mining tenements. 
In  the  course  of  its  due  diligence  investigations  the  Company  received  confirmation  from  Brazilian 
counsel  that  the  Preliminary  Assignment  Agreements  were  now  unenforceable  and  as  such,  Cabral 
Metais Ltda does not hold any rights to tenure over the exploration assets.  

Tapit Media 

On 18 October 2016, the Company signed a binding term sheet for the purchase of 100% of the issued 
share capital in Tapit Media, a revolutionary location based mobile advertising company. AirmarketTM 
gives advertisers access to a global network of beacons to deliver personalised, targeted advertising to 
consumers based on their physical location in real time.  

Page 4 

                      
 
 
 
On 14 March 2017, the Company announced termination of the proposed agreement with Tapit Media. 
Under  the  terms  of  the  Agreement,  the  proposed  acquisition  was  subject  to  a  number  of  conditions 
precedent  including  completion  of  due  diligence,  completion  of  a  successful  capital  raising  and  the 
Company’s re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules. Despite the best endeavours of all 
parties associated with the transaction, the Board considered it is unlikely these conditions precedent 
would  be  satisfied  in  a  reasonable  time  frame  and  as  such,  that  it  was  in  the  best  interests  of  the 
Company to terminate the proposed acquisition. 

Bowen Coking Coal Pty Ltd 

The Company announced on 24 April 2017 that it had signed a binding terms sheet (Terms Sheet) with 
Cape Coal Pty Ltd (Cape Coal) for the acquisition of 100% of the issued capital of Bowen Coking Coal 
Pty Ltd (ACN 615 317 907) (BCC) (the Transaction). 

BCC currently is a joint venture participant in, or has the right to acquire, interests in 5 coal exploration 
projects, made up of 5 Exploration Permits for Coal (EPCs), 1 Mining Development Licence (MDL) and 1 
Mining Licence Application (MLA). 

Subsequent to balance date, the Company advised the acquisition of Coking Coal One Pty Ltd (formerly 
Bowen Coking Coal Pty Ltd) which holds interests in the Lilyvale, MacKenzie and Comet Ridge Projects 
was completed.

Company confirmed the issue of 200,434,782 ordinary fully paid shares at an issue price of 2.3 cents 
per share, raising $4,610,000 before costs. 

On 28 September 2017, the Company advised completion of the acquisition of Coking Coal One Pty Ltd 
(formerly Bowen Coking Coal Pty Ltd), issuing 70,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares, 13,000,000 Class 
A  Performance  Shares  and  13,000,000  Class  B  Performance  Shares  as  consideration.  The  Company 
appointed Gerhard Redelinghuys as Managing Director and James Agenbag as Non-Executive Director, 
replacing Greg D’Arcy on 27 September 2017.  

The Company also completed the acquisition of the Comet Ridge Project, issuing 17,391,304 ordinary 
fully paid shares and paying $350,000 in cash as consideration. The Company will update the market 
on the timing of the completion of the acquisition of the Cooroorah and Hillalong Projects and is confident 
that it has satisfied the applicable requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and will 
advise the market when the outstanding conditions of the reinstatement to quotation of its securities 
have been met and a date has been fixed for the resumption of trading. 

There were no other known significant events from the end of the financial year to the date of this report.

Non-executive and executive directors:

Eddie King: Non-Executive Chairman 

Gregory DÁrcy: Non-Executive Director 

Steve Formica: Non-Executive Director  

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 

The Board determines the remuneration of Executive and Non-Executive Directors from time to time. 

Executive  remuneration  and  other  terms  of  employment  are  reviewed  annually  having  regard  to 
performance, relevant comparative information and independent expert advice. Remuneration packages 
are  set  at  levels  that  are  intended  to  attract  and  retain  Executives  capable  of  managing  the  Group’s 
business activities and operations. Currently, no element of any Director’s remuneration is dependent 
on the satisfaction of a performance condition.   

Fees  and  payments  to  Non-Executive  Directors  reflect  the  demands  which  are  made  on,  and  the 
responsibilities of, the Directors. Non-Executive Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by 
the  Board.  The  Board  has  also  drawn  on  external  sources  of  information  to  ensure  Non-Executive 
Directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in-line with the market for comparable companies for 
time,  commitment  and  responsibilities.  Fees  for  Non-Executive  Directors  are  not  linked  to  the 
performance of the consolidated entity. 

Non-Executive  Directors’  fees  are  determined  within  an  aggregate  Directors’  fee  pool  limit,  which  is 
currently  set  by  the  Constitution  of  the  Company  at  $400,000.  This  maximum  can  be  changed  by 
Company shareholders in general meeting. 

All Directors receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which was 
9.5%  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2017,  and  do  not  receive  any  other  retirement  benefits.  Some 
individuals,  however,  may  choose  to  sacrifice  part  of  their  salary  to  increase  payments  towards 
superannuation  or  elect  to  receive  their  Directors’  fees  by  way  of  consultancy  fees  for  which  no 
superannuation guarantee contribution applies. 

Remuneration paid to all Directors is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. The value of any 
unlisted options granted to Directors is brought to account over the vesting period of the options. 

Independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages is obtained should the Board of 
Directors consider it necessary. Remuneration packages are based on fixed remuneration, performance 
based remuneration and equity based remuneration in the year ended 30 June 2017. 

In  relation  to  any  element  of  the  remuneration  of  key  management  personnel  or  executives  which 
consists of securities, the Board has no policy in relation to those persons limiting their exposure to risk 
in relation to the securities. 

No other element of remuneration for key management personnel or executives was dependent on a 
performance  condition  as  the  Board  determined  that  these  elements  were  fair  and  appropriate 
remuneration. 

Details of Remuneration  

Details  of  the  remuneration  of  the  Directors,  other  key  management  personnel  of  the  Group  and 
specified executives of the Group for the years ended 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2016 respectively are 
set out on the following tables:

NON AUDIT SERVICES 

The Board of Directors is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year is compatible 
with  the  general  standard  of  independence  for  auditors  imposed  by  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  The 
directors  are  satisfied  that  the  services  disclosed  below  did  not  compromise  the  external  auditor’s 
independence for the following reasons: 

- 

- 

all  non-audit  services  are  reviewed  and  approved  by  the  Board  prior  to  commencement  to 
ensure they do not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and 

the  nature  of  the  services  provided  does  not  compromise  the  general  principles  relating  to 
auditor independence in accordance with APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants 
set by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

1. 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The principals accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements 
are  set  out  below.    These  policies  have  been  consistently  applied  to  all  the  years  presented,  unless 
otherwise stated.   

Bowen Coking Coal Limited is a company domiciled in Australia. The financial statements are for the 
Consolidated Entity consisting of Bowen Coking Coal Limited and its subsidiaries. The Consolidated Entity 
is a for-profit entity and is primarily involved in mineral exploration. 

a. 

Basis of Preparation 

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Australian 
Accounting  Standards,  other  authoritative  pronouncements  of  the  Australian  Accounting 
Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001. 

The  financial  report  has  been  prepared  on  an  accrual  basis  and  is  based  on  historical  costs, 
modified,  where  applicable,  by  the  measurement  at  fair  value  of  selected  non-current  assets, 
financial assets and financial liabilities.  

The presentation currency is Australian dollars. 

i. 

Compliance with IFRS 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Bowen  Coking  Coal  Limited  also  comply  with 
International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRS)  as  issued  by  the  International  Accounting 
Standards Board (IASB). 

ii. 

Going Concern 

This report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of 
normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal 
course of business. 

The Group incurred a net loss for the year ended 30 June 2017 of $648,291 and experienced net 
cash outflows from operating activities of $639,745. At 30 June 2017, cash and cash equivalents 
was $325,153.  

As  disclosed  in  note  20,  on  19  September  2017  the  Company  announced  that  the  minimum 
subscription of $4.6m had been reached and the offer pursuant to the prospectus dated 3 August 
2017 had closed. The Company is now liaising with the ASX in order to complete the acquisition 
and to seek to be re-instated to quotation. 

In considering the above, the Directors have reviewed the Group’s financial position and are of 
the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. 

The  financial  report  does  not  contain  any  adjustments  relating  to  the  recoverability  and 
classification of recorded assets or to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities 
that might be necessary should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern. 

iii. 

Correction of a prior period error  

As previously disclosed, the Brazilian mining tenements held by Cabral Metais Ltda (“Metais”) are 
via a Preliminary Instrument of Future Mining Tenements Assignment with Cabral Mineracao Ltda 

Page 18 

                      
 
 
 
(“Mineracao”). Mineracao is a Company which is no longer under the control of the Company and 
therefore does not form part of the Group.  

The Group has been conducting, in accordance with the Company’s business plan, due diligence 
on the interests of Metais in the Brazilian mining tenements. The Company has in the course of 
this  process  further  considered  the  validity  of  the  obligations  existing  between  Mineracao  and 
Metais  under  contracts  for  the  assignment  of  mining  tenement  agreements  between  those 
companies  (Preliminary  Assignment  Agreements)  pursuant  to  which  Metais’  interests  were 
supposed to arise.  None of the tenements the subject of the Preliminary Assignment Agreements 
have ever been transferred from Mineracao to Metais. 

The Company has discovered that no instrument of assignment of the relevant mining tenements 
has  been  executed  by  the  parties,  contrary  to  the  terms  of  the  Preliminary  Assignment 
Agreements. Execution of an instrument of assignment is a condition precedent for the effecting 
of the transfer of the tenements.  As this condition precedent has not been complied with, and 
the parties had not taken any other steps towards registration of the transfer of the tenements, 
the  contractual  obligations  of  Metais  cannot  now  be  enforced  by  Mineracao.   In  any  case,  the 
obligation to transfer the mining tenements cannot now be carried out because the vast majority 
of the tenements have been cancelled. 

In  the  course  of  its  due  diligence  investigations  the  Company  has  received  confirmation  from 
Brazilian counsel that the Preliminary Assignment Agreements are now unenforceable and as such, 
Metais does not hold any rights to tenure over the exploration assets.  

The  Company  had  previously  treated  exploration  expenditure  undertaken  by  Mineracao  on  the 
tenements  the  subject  of  the  Preliminary  Assignment  Agreements  as  if  it  were  a  non-interest 
bearing loan of BRL 6,940,494 owed by Metais to Mineracao.  Under Brazilian law, a tenement 
holder  is  obliged  to  pay  all  costs  relating  to  obtaining  and  maintaining  exploration 
tenements.   Therefore  this  was  Mineracao’s  obligation  until  such  time  as  an  instrument  of 
assignment was executed and the transfer of tenements to Metais was registered at the National 
Department of Mineral Production (“DNPM”).  As the relevant tenements were never transferred 
to  Metais  (and  cannot  now  be  transferred),  the  Company  considers  that  the  above  should  not 
have been recognised.  

The error has been rectified by restating each of the affected financial statement line items for 
prior periods as follows:

Principals of Consolidation- Subsidiaries 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  comprise  the  financial  statements  of  Bowen  Coking  Coal 
Limited and its subsidiaries at 30 June each year (“the Group”).  Subsidiaries are entities over 
which  the  Group  has  the  power  to  govern  the  financial  and  operational  policies  generally 
accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. Potential voting rights 
that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing control. Consolidated 
financial statements include all subsidiaries from the date that control commences until the date 
that control ceases. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting 
period as the parent, using consistent accounting policies. 

All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intragroup 
transactions have been eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless costs cannot be 
recovered. 

Minority interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and statement of financial position 
respectively. 

Subsidiaries are accounted for in the parent entity at cost. 

c.  

Foreign Currency Translation 

i. 

Functional and Presentation Currency 

Items included in the financial statements of each of 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 
Bowen Coking Coal Limited’s functional and presentation currency. 

ii. 

Transactions and Balances 

Foreign  currency  transactions  are  translated  into  functional  currency  using  the  exchange  rates 
prevailing at the dates of the transactions.  Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the 
settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary 
assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss,  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. 

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income within finance costs.  All other foreign exchange 
gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income 
on a net basis within the other income and other expenses. 

Non-monetary  items  that  are  measured  at  their  fair  value  in  a  foreign  currency  are  translated 
using exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.  Translation differences on 
assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.   

iii.  Group Companies 

The  results  and  financial  positions  of  foreign  operations  (none  of  which  has  the  currency  of  a 
hyperinflationary  economy)  that  have  a  functional  currency  different  from  the  presentation 
currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: 

Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at 
the date of that balance sheet. 

 

Page 20 

                      
 
 
 
 

 

Income and expenses for each income statement and statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive  income  are  translated  at  average  exchange  rates  (unless  this  is  not  a 
reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction 
dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions). 

All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. 

On  consolidation,  exchange  differences  arising  from  the  translation  of  any  net  investment  in 
foreign entities are recognised in other comprehensive income.   

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated 
as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate. 

d. 

Revenue Recognition 

Revenue is recognised at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed 
as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid. The following specific 
recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: 
 

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. The 
effective  interest  method  uses  the  effective  interest  rate  which  is  the  rate  that  exactly 
discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial asset.  

 

Revenue  from  dividends  is  recognised  when  the  Group’s  right  to  receive  payment  is 
established. 

e. 

Income Taxes 

The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income 
based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax 
assets  and  liabilities  attributable  to  temporary  differences  between  the  tax  base  of  assets  and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.  

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all differences, between carrying amounts of assets and 
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases, at the tax rates expected 
to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities settled, based on those tax rates which are 
enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. Deferred tax assets are only recognised 
for deductible temporary  differences and unused tax losses if it is probable that future taxable 
amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

f. 

Impairment of Assets 

At each reporting date the Group assesses whether there is any indication that individual assets 
are  impaired.  Where  impairment  indicators  exist,  the  recoverable  amount  is  determined  and 
impairment  losses  are  recognised  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive 
income where the asset’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is 
the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of assessing 
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-
tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the 
risks specific to the assets. 

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount for an individual asset, recoverable 
amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

Page 21 

                      
 
 
 
 
g. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

For presentation purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash 
on  hand,  deposits  held  at  call  with  financial  institutions,  other  short-term,  highly  liquid 
investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known 
amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 

h. 

Trade Receivables 

Trade receivables are recognised at fair value as the amounts receivable are due for settlement 
no more than 30 days from the date of recognition.  Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on 
an  ongoing  basis.    Debts  which  are  known  to  be  uncollectible  are  written  off  by  reducing  the 
carrying amount directly.  An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) 
is raised where there is some doubt over collection. 

i. 

Investments in Other Financial Assets 

The  Group  classifies  its  investments  in  the  following  categories:  financial  assets  at  fair  value 
through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale 
financial  assets.  The  classification  depends  on  the  purpose  for  which  the  investments  were 
acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and 
re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date. 

i. 

Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss 

A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in 
the short term or if so designated by management. The policy of management is to designate a 
financial asset if there exists the possibility it will be sold in the short term and the asset is subject 
to frequent changes in fair value. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they 
are  either  held  for  trading  or  are  expected  to  be  realised  within  twelve  months  of  the  balance 
sheet date. 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried at fair value. Realised and unrealised 
gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value are included in the statement of profit or 
loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. 

The  fair  value  of  investments  traded  in  active  markets  is  determined  by  reference  to  quoted 
market bid prices at balance date. The fair value of investments not traded in an active market is 
determined  using  valuation  techniques  including  reference  to  recent  arm’s  length  transactions, 
net asset backing and current market value of another similar instrument. 

ii. 

Loan and Receivables 

Loans  and  receivables  are  non  derivative  financial  assets  with  fixed  or  determinable  payments 
that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or 
services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current 
assets,  except  for  those  with  maturities  greater  than  twelve  months  after  balance  sheet  date 
which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in receivables in 
the statement of financial position. 

Receivables are stated at their cost less impairment losses.  

Page 22 

                      
 
 
 
 
iii.  Held-to-Maturity Investments  

Held-to-maturity  investments  are  non  derivative  financial  assets  with  fixed  or  determinable 
payments and fixed maturities that the Group’s management has the positive intention and ability 
to hold to maturity. 

iv.  Available for Sale Financial Assets 

Available  for  sale  financial  assets,  comprising  principally  marketable  equity  securities,  are  non 
derivatives  that  are  either  designated  in  this  category  or  not  classified  in  any  of  the  other 
categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the 
investment within twelve months. 

Available-for-sale  financial  assets  are  carried  at  fair  value.  Unrealised  gains  and  losses  arising 
from  changes  in  fair  value  are  recognised  in  equity.  When  sold  the  accumulated  fair  value 
adjustments are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as 
gains and losses from investment securities. 

j. 

Intangible Assets 

i. 

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure 

Expenditure on acquisition, exploration and evaluation relating to an area of interest is carried 
forward where rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and: 

 

 

It  is  expected  that  expenditure  will  be  recouped  through  successful  development  and 
exploitation of the area of interest or alternatively by its sale; and/or 

Exploration  and  evaluation  activities  are  continuing  in  an  area  of  interest  but  at  balance 
date have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence 
or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. 

Where the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource have been 
demonstrated  then  any  capitalised  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  is  reclassified  as 
capitalised “mine properties in development”. Prior to reclassification, capitalised exploration and 
evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment. 

If facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of any recognised exploration and 
evaluation assets may be impaired, the entity must perform impairment tests on those assets in 
accordance  with  AASB  136  “Impairment  of  Assets’.  Impairment  of  exploration  and  evaluation 
assets is to be assessed at a cash generating unit or group of cash generating units level provided 
this is no larger than an area of interest. Any impairment loss is to be recognised as an expense 
in accordance with AASB 136. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off 
to  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income  in  the  period  in  which  the 
decision to abandon the area is made.

Earnings per Share 

i. 

Basic Earnings per Share 

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the net result attributable to members of the 
Company  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares outstanding  during  the  financial 
year. 

ii. 

Diluted Earnings per Share 

Diluted  earnings  per  share  adjusts  the  figures  used  in  the  determination  of  basic  earnings  per 
share  to  take  into  account  the  after  income  tax  effect  of  interest  and  other  financing  costs 
associated  with  dilutive  potential  ordinary  shares  and  the  weighted  average  number  of  shares 
assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Short-Term Obligations 

Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave represent present 
obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to reporting date and are calculated at 
undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the consolidated entity 
expects  to  pay  as  at  reporting  date  including  related  on-costs,  such  as  workers  compensation 
insurance and payroll tax. 

ii. 

Share Based Payment Benefits 

Share based compensation benefits are provided to Directors and employees via share or option 
plans in place from time to time.  

The fair value of options granted under the Plans is recognised as an employee benefit expense 
with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised 
over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. 

The fair value at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes 
into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at 
grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and 
the risk free interest rate for the term of the option. 

The  fair  value  of  the  options  is  adjusted  to  reflect  market  vesting  conditions,  but  excludes  the 
impact  of  any  non-market  vesting  conditions  (e.g.  profitability  or  transaction  specific  targets). 
Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are 
expected to become exercisable. At each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimate of the 
number  of  options  that  are  expected  to  become  exercisable.  The  employee  benefit  expense 
recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. The impact of the revision 
to  original  estimates,  if  any,  is  recognised  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to equity. 

m. 

Lease Payments 

Leases  where  the  lessor retains  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  of  the  net 
asset  are  classified  as  operating  leases.  Payments  under  operating  leases  (net  of  incentives 
received from the lessor) are charges to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

n. 

Trade and other Payables 

Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior 
to year-end and which are unpaid. These amounts are unsecured and have 30 to 60 day payment 
terms. 

o. 

Goods and Services Tax 

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), 
except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these 
circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of 
the expense. 

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement 
of financial position. 

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of 
cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable 
to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows. 

p. 

Contributed Equity 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs attributable to the issue of new shares or options 
are shown as a deduction from the equity proceeds, net of any income tax benefit. Costs directly 
attributable to the issue of new shares or options associated with the acquisition of a business are 
included as part of the purchase consideration. 

q. 

Fair Value 

Fair  values  may  be  used  for  financial  asset  and  liability  measurement  as  well  as  for  sundry 
disclosures. Fair values for quoted financial instruments traded in active markets are based on 
quoted market prices at the date of the statement of financial position. The quoted market price 
for financial assets is the current bid price. 

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to 
approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities 
for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current 
market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. 

r. 

Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale 

Non-current assets and assets of disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying 
amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continued use. 
They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs of disposal. For 
non-current  assets  or  assets  of  disposal  groups  to  be  classified  as  held  for  sale,  the  must  be 
available for immediate sale in their present condition and their sale must be highly probable. 

An  impairment  loss  is  recognised  for  any  initial  or  subsequent  write  down  on  the  non-current 
assets and assets of disposal groups to fair value less cost of disposal. A gain is recognised for 
any subsequent increase in fair value less costs of disposal of non-current assets and assets of 
disposal groups, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. 

Page 25 

                      
 
 
 
 
 
Non-current  assets  are  not  depreciated  or  amortised  while  they  are  classified  as  held  for  sale. 
Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of the assets held for sale continue to 
be recognised. 

Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of disposal groups classified as held 
for  sale  are  presented  separately  on  the  face  of  the  statement  of  financial  position,  in  current 
assets. The liabilities of disposal groups classified as held for sale are presented separately on the 
face of the statement of financial position, in current liabilities.

Changes in accounting policies and disclosure 

In the year ended 30 June 2017, the Group has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards 
and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the 
current annual reporting period. It has been determined by the Group that there is no impact, 
material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, 
therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies. 

t. 

New Standards and Interpretations not yet Adopted 

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended 
but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual 
reporting period ended 30 June 2017. The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these 
new  or  amended  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations,  most  relevant  to  the  consolidated 
entity, are set out below. 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments 

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The 
standard replaces all previous versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39 
'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. AASB 9 introduces new classification and 
measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost, 
if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual 
cash  flows,  which  arise  on  specified  dates  and  solely  principal  and  interest.  All  other  financial 
instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the 
entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity 
instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income ('OCI'). For financial 
liabilities, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's 
own  credit  risk  to  be  presented  in  OCI  (unless  it  would  create  an  accounting  mismatch).  New 
simpler  hedge  accounting  requirements  are  intended  to  more  closely  align  the  accounting 
treatment with the risk management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements will 
use an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance. 

Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial 
instrument  has  increased  significantly  since  initial  recognition  in  which  case  the  lifetime  ECL 
method is adopted. The standard introduces additional new disclosures. The consolidated entity 
will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by 
the consolidated entity. 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The 
standard provides a single standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is 
that  an  entity  will  recognise  revenue  to  depict  the  transfer  of  promised  goods  or  services  to 

Page 26 

                      
 
 
 
 
 
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled 
in exchange for those goods or services.  

The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) to be identified, together 
with the separate performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, 
adjusted for the time value of money excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to 
the  separate  performance  obligations  on  a  basis  of  relative  stand-alone  selling  price  of  each 
distinct  good  or  service,  or  estimation  approach  if  no  distinct  observable  prices  exist;  and 
recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit risk will be presented 
separately as an expense rather than adjusted to revenue.  

For goods, the performance obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of 
the  goods.  For  services,  the  performance  obligation  is  satisfied  when  the  service  has  been 
provided,  typically  for  promises  to  transfer  services  to  customers.  For  performance  obligations 
satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine how 
much  revenue  should  be  recognised  as  the  performance  obligation  is  satisfied.  Contracts  with 
customers will be presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability, a 
contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance 
and  the  customer's  payment.  Sufficient  quantitative  and  qualitative  disclosure  is  required  to 
enable  users  to  understand  the  contracts  with  customers;  the  significant  judgments  made  in 
applying the guidance to those contracts; and any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or 
fulfil a contract with a customer. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 
but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated entity. 

AASB 16 Leases 

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The 
standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating 
leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the 
statement  of  financial  position,  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the  unavoidable  future  lease 
payments  to  be  made  over  the  lease  term.  The  exceptions  relate  to  short-term  leases  of  12 
months  or  less  and  leases  of  low-value  assets  (such  as  personal  computers  and  small  office 
furniture)  where  an  accounting  policy  choice  exists  whereby  either  a  'right-of-use'  asset  is 
recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding 
to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives 
received,  initial  direct  costs  incurred  and  an  estimate  of  any  future  restoration,  removal  or 
dismantling  costs.  Straight-line  operating  lease  expense  recognition  will  be  replaced  with  a 
depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on 
the recognised lease liability (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 will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense 
and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash 
flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest 
(either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not 
substantially  change  how  a  lessor  accounts  for  leases.  The  consolidated  entity  will  adopt  this 
standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated 
entity.

u. 

Use of Estimates and Judgements 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical 
accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of 
applying the Company’s accounting policies.  

i. 

Exploration and evaluation costs 

Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the Consolidated Entity 
will commence commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised 
in proportion to the depletion of the mineral resource. Key judgements are applied in considering 
costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities 
and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are 
only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale 
of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production at the 
mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes which could impact 
the  cost  of  mining,  future  legal  changes  and  changes  in  commodity  prices.  To  the  extent  that 
capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the 
period in which this determination is made.

The Company is of the opinion that tax and capital losses from prior periods will continue to be available 
to the group. These losses have not been recognised as a deferred tax asset as there is uncertainty 
that future taxable profits will be available against which the losses can be utilised. The future income 
tax benefit will only be obtained if: 

a)  future assessable income is derived of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit 

to be realised; 

b)  the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation continue to be applied with; and 

c)  no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit.

Adjusted EBITDA 

The measurement of adjusted EBITDA excludes the non-recurring expenditure from the operating 
segment  such  as  restructuring  costs,  legal  expenses  and  goodwill  impairments  when  the 
impairment is the result of an isolated, non-recurring event.  Furthermore the measure excludes 
the  effects  of  equity-settled  share-based  payments  and  unrealised  gains/(losses)  on  financial 
instruments.    Interest  income  and  expenditure  are  not  allocated  to  segments,  as  this  type  of 
activity is driven by a central treasury function in managing the cash position of the Group. 

A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to operating loss is provided as follows:

On 19 September 2017, the Company announced that the minimum subscription had been reached and 
the  offer  pursuant  to  the  prospectus  dated  3  August  2017  had  closed.  On  28  September  2017,  the 
Company confirmed the issue of 200,434,782 ordinary fully paid shares at an issue price of 2.3 cents 
per share, raising $4,610,000 before costs. 

On 28 September 2017, the Company advised completion of the acquisition of Coking Coal One Pty Ltd 
(formerly Bowen Coking Coal Pty Ltd), issuing 70,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares, 13,000,000 Class 
A  Performance  Shares  and  13,000,000  Class  B  Performance  Shares  as  consideration.  The  Company 
appointed Gerhard Redelinghuys as Managing Director and James Agenbag as Non-Executive Director, 
replacing Greg D’Arcy on 27 September 2017.  

The Company also completed the acquisition of the Comet Ridge Project, issuing 17,391,304 ordinary 
fully paid shares and paying $350,000 in cash as consideration. The Company will update the market 
on the timing of the completion of the acquisition of the Cooroorah and Hillalong Projects and is confident 
that it has satisfied the applicable requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and will 
advise the market when the outstanding conditions of the reinstatement to quotation of its securities 
have been met and a date has been fixed for the resumption of trading. 

There were no other known significant events from the end of the financial year to the date of this report. 

21.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

21.1  Financial Risk Management 

The  Group’s  financial  instruments  consist  of  deposits  with  banks,  trade  receivable  and  payables, 
investments  at  fair  value  and  loans  to  and  from  subsidiaries  and  associates.  Derivative  financial 
instruments are not currently used by the Group.  

Senior executives meet regularly to analyse and monitor the financial risk associated with the financial 
instruments used by the Group. The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer reports regularly to 

Page 39 

                      
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
the Board which appraises the adequacy of the risk management strategies and also creates policies for 
risk management.  

The Group’s activities expose it to market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), 
credit risk and liquidity risk. 

Market Risk 

a. 

Foreign Exchange Risk 

The Group has no material exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period. 

b. 

Interest Rate Risk 

The Group does not have any exposure to interest rate risk as there were no external borrowings at 30 
June 2017 (2016: nil).  Any borrowings were intercompany related and unsecured and interest free and 
therefore there is no exposure to interest rate risk associated with these amounts.   Interest bearing 
assets are all short term liquid assets and the only interest rate risk is the effect on interest income by 
movements in the interest rate. There is no other material interest rate risk. 

c. 

Liquidity Risk 

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining cash reserves, placing funds on fixed term deposits 
with reputable financial institutions, having limited borrowings or debt and having, to the extent possible, 
the investments in instruments that are tradeable in highly liquid markets. All trade and other payables 
are expected to be paid within one year of balance date. 

The Group’s credit risk primarily arises from cash and deposits with Australian ADIs.  The credit risk of 
financial assets of the Group which have been recognised on the statement of financial position, other 
than investments in shares, is generally the carrying amount, net of any provision for doubtful debts. 
There is no collateral or security held for those assets at balance date. There are no financial assets that 
are past due or impaired. 

21.2  Net Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities  

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities in the financial statements 
approximates their fair values as at balance date.

DIRECTORS’ DECLARATION 

In the directors' opinion: 

1.  the financial statements and accompanying notes set out on pages 13 to 39 are in accordance with

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Bowen Coking Coal Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Bowen Coking Coal Limited (the Company and its subsidiaries (the 
Group)), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, the 
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of 
changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the 
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration. 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 
2001, including: 

i)  giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its financial 

performance for the year then ended; and 

ii)  complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for opinion  

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those 
standards are further described in the ‘auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report’ section 
of our report. We are independent of the entity in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the 
ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics 
for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. 
We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been 
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time 
of this auditor’s report.  

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our 
opinion. 

Key audit matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our 
audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit 
of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate 
opinion on these matters.  

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Correction of prior period error 

Refer to note 1a.iii. 

The Brazilian mining tenements recognised by 
Cabral Metais Ltda (“Metais”) were via a 
Preliminary Instrument of Future Mining 
Tenements Assignment with Cabral Mineracao 
Ltda (“Mineracao”).  

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

  We read the Preliminary Instrument of Future 
Mining Tenements Assignment agreement and 
obtained an understanding of the key terms and 
conditions; 

  We read the legal advice provided to the Group 
to understand the key determination of the legal 

Page 42 

                      
 
Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

The Group determined that no instrument of 
assignment of the relevant mining tenements 
has been executed by the parties. The 
contractual obligations of Metais cannot now be 
enforced by Mineracao. 

The Group considers that these events give rise 
to a prior period error  in accordance with AASB 
108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting 
Estimates and Errors  and has adjusted the 
comparative information to derecognise the 
liability of $2,882,991 owing to Mineracao. This 
is considered a key audit matter due to the 
material size and complexity of the transaction. 

Other information 

opinion; 

  We assessed the validity of arguments within the 
legal advice and the legal interpretation of the 
Preliminary Instrument of Future Mining 
Tenements Assignment; 

  We assessed the competence, experience and 

qualifications of the legal expert; 

  We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in 

accordance with AASB 108. 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in 
Bowen Coking Coal Limited’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017, but does not include the 
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of 
assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, 
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or 
our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the other 
information we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true 
and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for 
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial 
report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error.  

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the entity’s ability to continue 
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern 
basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the entity or to cease operations, or have 
no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s responsibility for the audit of the financial report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes 
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit 
conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement 
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in 
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at The Australian 
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf. 
This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements 
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may 
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 8 to 11 of the directors’ Report for the year 
ended 30 June 2017.  

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Bowen Coking Coal Limited for the year ended 30 June 2017, 
complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  

Responsibilities  

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration 
Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an 
opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing 
Standards.
