Commentary on Results  

The net assets of the economic entity decreased by $591,852 to $48,197,297 at 30 June 2013. This has 
largely resulted from cash balances decreasing as BPH Energy continued to provide financial support 
to its investee companies MDSystems and Cortical Dynamics Ltd.  

The  consolidated  entity  has  incurred  losses  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2013  of  $594,908  (2012: 
losses  of  $764,478)  and  has  a  net  cash  outflow  from  operating  activities  of  $412,426  (2012: 
$497,739).   

Significant Changes in State Of Affairs 

The major activities throughout the period were: 

  During  the  period  BPH  investee  Cortical  Dynamics  (“Cortical”)  completed  recruitment  of 
patients  in  its  current  clinical  trial.  The  study  employed  the  Brain  Anaesthesia  Response  (BAR) 
monitor  to  detect  varying  levels  of  anaesthetic  agents  in  an  operating  room  environment 
where  the  presence  of  multiple  artifacts  are  known  to  complicate  the  EEG  assessment  of 
anaesthetic action. 

  During the period BPH investee Cortical received confirmation that a key patent relating to its 
BAR  monitor  had  been  granted  in  the  People’s  Republic  of  China.  The  issued  patent  entitled 
“EEG Analysis System” is valid until June 2027.  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  During  the  period  BPH 

investee  Molecular  Discovery  Systems  Ltd  (  “MDS”)  signed  a 
collaboration  agreement  with  the  Peter  MacCallum  Centre.  The  collaborative  research 
program will focus on the discovery and development of new cancer drugs that normalise the 
function of the key tumour suppressor p53. 

  During  the  period  BPH  investee  Advent  Energy  Limited  entered  into  a  data  sharing  and  land 
access agreement with Beach Energy Ltd. The agreement was reached in relation to Beach’s 
intended acquisition of  airborne gravity and aeromagnetic data, and the resultant sharing of 
that data, in the onshore Bonaparte Basin. 

  BPH  investee  Advent  Energy  Ltd  confirmed  the  renewal  of  key  offshore  Sydney  Basin  permit 
Petroleum Exploration Permit 11 for a further 5 year term. The renewal was formally granted on 
13 August 2012.  

  BPH investee Advent Energy re-entered Waggon Creek-1 located within EP386, and 10km from 
Vienta-1, for the purpose of recompletion and production testing in 2011. The well was flowed 
for  6  hours  before  operations  were  suspended  for  the  northern  wet  season.  Advent  Energy 
concluded  the  production  testing  program  on  Waggon  Creek-1  during  2012.  The  testing 
produced  gas  flows  of  up  to  26,370m3  (0.96  MMscf)  per  day  without  production  of  formation 
water.  Comparison  of  gas  compositions  of  samples  obtained  from  the  2011  perforated  zones 
and  the  recent  2012  perforated  zones  indicates  a  potential  single  gas  column  of  over  217 
metres between the top and bottom perforated zones. This provides a significant gas resource 
upside  in  this  stratigraphic  trap  should  Advent  Energy  successfully  identify  areas  within  the 
interpreted  Waggon  Creek  gas  accumulation  of  thicker  reservoir  development.  Further 
investigative work could refine this upside potential. 

 

In September 2012,  Advent Energy advised that, following an extensive review of all available 
data,  it  had  increased  the  volumetric  estimates  of  conventional  prospective  recoverable 
resources  in  EP386  in  the  onshore  Bonaparte  Basin,  northern  Western  Australia.   New 
prospective recoverable resources of between 53.3 Billion Cubic Feet (Bcf) (Low Estimate) and 
1,326.3 Bcf (High Estimate) were assessed for the conventional hydrocarbon prospectivity within 
EP386.  This  is  in  addition  to  the  considerable  unconventional  (shale)  gas  resources  previously 
identified  in  EP386  and  RL1  where  studies  indicate  potential  prospective  shale  gas  resources 
with an estimated (P50) prospective recoverable resources of 9.8 Tcf.

Review of Operations  

Investment in Oil and Gas Exploration Company  

Advent Energy Ltd (“Advent”): 

BPH  Energy  currently  holds  an  interest  of  27.4%  in  unlisted  Australian  exploration  company  Advent 
Energy (“Advent”).   

Advent  has  assembled  a  range  of  hydrocarbon  permits  which  contain  near  term  production 
opportunities with pre-existing infrastructure and exploration upside.  

Advent’s assets include EP 386 and RL 1 (100%) in the onshore Bonaparte Basin in the north of Western 
Australia  and  Northern  Territory,  PEP11  (85%)  in  the  offshore  Sydney  Basin  and  EP325  (8.3%)  in  the 
Exmouth  Sub-basin  of  the  Carnarvon  Basin  near  Exmouth  in  WA.  Advent’s  portfolio  of  assets  has  an 
estimated AUD $156m invested historically on exploration.  

Advent  is  investigating  a  considerable  potential  shale  gas  resource  within  EP386  and  RL1.  Studies 
indicate  significant  potential  upside  in  prospective  shale  gas  resources  with  an  estimated  (P50) 
prospective recoverable resource of 9.8 Tcf.

Directors’ Report  
BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities 

A  mean  contingent  Resource  of  18.4  Bcf  for  the  Weaber  Gas  Field  (RL1)  has  been  assessed  by  an 
independent third party as a component of Advent’s drive to commercialise its 100% owned onshore 
Bonaparte  Basin  assets.    The  current  rapid  development  of  the  Kununurra  region  in  northern  Western 
Australia,  including  the  Ord  Irrigation  Expansion  Project  and  numerous  resource  projects,  provides  an 
exceptional  opportunity  for  Advent  to  potentially  develop  its  nearby  gas  resources  for  the  benefit  of 
the region along with Advent and its shareholders. 

The Sydney Basin is a proven petroleum basin with excellent potential for the discovery of gas and oil. 
The  demonstration  of  an  active  hydrocarbon  system  with  seeps  reported  in  the  offshore  area  and 
sampling  indicated  the  presence  of  thermogenic  hydrocarbon  gas  is  considered  to  occur  in  basins 
actively generating hydrocarbons and /or that contain excellent migration pathways.  Previous drilling 
has shown that the early Permian geological sequence is mature for hydrocarbons.   

Undiscovered  prospective  recoverable  gas  resources  for  structural  targets  within  the  PEP  11  offshore 
permit  have  been  estimated  at  5.7  trillion  cubic  feet  (at  the  P50  level)  or  up  to  22.7  Tcf  on  a 
probabilistic mean calculation.  PEP 11 lies adjacent to the most populous region of Australia and the 
major industrial hub and port of Newcastle. 

Investment in Biotechnology Companies 

BPH Energy’s existing Biotechnology investments include its 3.89% interest in Cortical Dynamics Limited; 
51.82% interest in Diagnostic  Array Systems Pty Ltd and its  20% interest in Molecular Discovery Systems 
Limited.  

Molecular Discovery Systems Limited (”MDSystems”) 

Drug Discovery: 

MDSystems  has  core  expertise  in  high-content  imaging  and  analysis.   MDSystems  owned  IN  Cell 
Analyser  1000  (GE  Healthcare)  is  a  semi-automated  cellular  imaging  and  analysis  platform  that 
combines  high-resolution  imaging  and  high-content  analysis  and  is  ideally  suited  for  screening 
compounds that  modulate  complex  cellular  responses.  MDSystems  is  currently  utilising  the  IN  Cell 
Analyser 1000 for the discovery and development of new cancer drugs. 

MDSystems  will  continue  to  focus  on  oncology  drug  discovery  and  develop  additional  screening 
methods to identify modulators of key cancer targets. 

HLS5 Project: 

MDSystems is working with the Western Australian Institute for Medical Research (“WAIMR”) to develop 
and  validate  HLS5  as  a  novel  tumour  suppressor  gene.   A  concerted  research  effort  by  leading 
Australian scientists has revealed that HLS5 works through multiple pathways that may target cancer as 
well as a range of other diseases such as Huntington’s, Parkinson’s and HIV infection. 

MDSystems has an extensive patent portfolio encapsulating the tumour suppressor gene HLS5 both as 
a potential therapeutic target and also underpinning its involvement in a variety of disease pathways. 

Cortical Dynamics Limited (“Cortical Dynamics”): 

Cortical  Dynamics  is  working  with  BPH  Energy  and  the  Swinburne  University  of  Technology  (”SUT”)  to 
develop  and  commercialise  a  unique  depth  of  anaesthesia  monitoring  system  for  use  during  major 
surgery.   The  core  technology  is  based  on  real  time  analysis  of  the  patients  electroencephalograph 
(EEG)  using  a  proprietary  algorithm  based  on  a  mathematically  and  physiologically  detailed 
understanding of the brain’s rhythmic electrical activity.

Directors’ Report  
BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities 

The Cortical Dynamics’ team lead by Professor David Liley  had previously analysed a comprehensive 
data  set  obtained  from  Europe  using  the  Brain  Anaesthesia  Response  (“BAR”)  methodology.  The 
detailed 
international  Journal  of 
Anesthesiology,  2010.  The  paper  indicated  the  potential  of  the  BAR’s  methodology  to  separately 
monitor hypnotic and analgesic state.  

the  prestigious  peer-reviewed 

results  were  published 

in 

Cortical  Dynamics  has  now  completed  its  first  clinical  trial  utilising  the  BAR  monitor.  The  trial  is  a 
significant  event  in  the  BAR  monitor’s  development  program  as  it  is  the  first  time  the  complete 
monitoring system has been used in the operating room.   A detailed analysis of the clinical trial data 
indicated  that  the  BAR  monitor’s  Cortical  Input  (CI)  index  can  discriminate  between  two  doses  of 
fentanyl,  a  commonly  used  analgesic  agent.  The  study  also  concluded  that  the  BAR  monitor’s  CS 
index  was  highly  correlated  with  the  BISTM  index,  a  generally  accepted  measure  of  sedation.    The 
trial’s findings in combination with the results of the 2010 publication suggest that the BAR monitor may 
find significant utility in the delivery of optimal and balanced surgical anaesthesia. 

Diagnostic Array Systems (“DAS”) 

DAS is working to develop and commercialise BacTrak™, a diagnostic tool that will enable pathology 
laboratories and the emergency departments of hospitals to provide patients with fast and accurate 
identification  of  disease  causing  bacteria  from  a  single  sputum  sample.   The  test  has  important 
implications  for  the  clinical  management  of  infectious  diseases  by  identifying  the  specific  bacteria 
responsible  for  a  disease.   Utilisation  of  the  novel  test  is  intended  to  provide  more  information,  more 
quickly, than alternative methods.  It has the potential to accelerate therapeutic treatment, lead to a 
reduction in hospitalisations and help reduce the overuse of antibiotics. 

Financial Position  

The net assets of the economic entity  decreased by $591,852 to $48,197,297 at 30 June 2013. This has 
largely resulted from cash balances decreasing as BPH Energy continued to provide financial support 
to its investee companies MDSystems and Cortical Dynamics Ltd.  

The consolidated entity incurred losses for the year ended 30 June 2013 of $594,908 (2012: losses of 
$764,478) and reported a net cash outflow from operating activities of $412,426 (2012: $497,739).   

The directors have reviewed their expenditure and their commitments for the consolidated entity. 
The  directors  as  a  part  of  their  cash  monitoring,  may  voluntarily  suspend  cash  payments  for 
director’s fees to conserve cash.  

The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts that indicate that the consolidated entity will 
have sufficient cash flows for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report.  

Based  on  the  cash  flow  forecasts  and  the  monitoring  of  operational  costs,  the  directors  are 
satisfied  that,  the  going  concern  basis  of  preparation  is  appropriate.  The  financial  report  has 
therefore been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business 
activities  and  the  realisation  of  assets  and  the  settlement  of  liabilities  in  the  ordinary  course  of 
business.

Significant Changes in State Of Affairs 

The major activities throughout the period were: 

  During  the  period  BPH  investee  Cortical  Dynamics  (“Cortical”)  completed  recruitment  of 
patients  in  its  current  clinical  trial.  The  study  employed  the  Brain  Anaesthesia  Response  (BAR) 
monitor  to  detect  varying  levels  of  anaesthetic  agents  in  an  operating  room  environment 
where  the  presence  of  multiple  artifacts  are  known  to  complicate  the  EEG  assessment  of 
anaesthetic action. 

  During the period BPH investee Cortical received confirmation that a key patent relating to its 
BAR  monitor  had  been  granted  in  the  People’s  Republic  of  China.  The  issued  patent  entitled 
“EEG Analysis System” is valid until June 2027.  

  During the period BPH investee Molecular Discovery Systems Ltd (“MDS”) signed a collaboration 
agreement with the Peter MacCallum Centre. The collaborative research program will focus on 
the  discovery  and  development  of  new  cancer  drugs  that  normalise  the  function  of  the  key 
tumour suppressor p53. 

  During  the  period  BPH  investee  Advent  Energy  Limited  entered  into  a  data  sharing  and  land 
access agreement with Beach Energy Ltd. The agreement was reached in relation to Beach’s 
intended acquisition of  airborne gravity and aeromagnetic data, and the resultant sharing of 
that data, in the onshore Bonaparte Basin. 

  BPH  investee  Advent  Energy  Ltd  confirmed  the  renewal  of  key  offshore  Sydney  Basin  permit 
Petroleum Exploration Permit 11 for a further 5 year term. The renewal was formally granted on 
13 August 2012.  

  BPH investee Advent Energy re-entered Waggon Creek-1 located within EP386, and 10km from 
Vienta-1, for the purpose of recompletion and production testing in 2011. The well was flowed 
for  6  hours  before  operations  were  suspended  for  the  northern  wet  season.  Advent  Energy 
concluded  the  production  testing  program  on  Waggon  Creek-1  during  2012.  The  testing 
produced  gas  flows  of  up  to  26,370m3  (0.96  MMscf)  per  day  without  production  of  formation 
water.  Comparison  of  gas  compositions  of  samples  obtained  from  the  2011  perforated  zones 
and  the  recent  2012  perforated  zones  indicates  a  potential  single  gas  column  of  over  217 
metres between the top and bottom perforated zones. This provides a significant gas resource 
upside  in  this  stratigraphic  trap  should  Advent  Energy  successfully  identify  areas  within  the 
interpreted  Waggon  Creek  gas  accumulation  of  thicker  reservoir  development.  Further 
investigative work could refine this upside potential. 

 

In September 2012,  Advent Energy advised that, following an extensive review of all available 
data,  it  had  increased  the  volumetric  estimates  of  conventional  prospective  recoverable 
resources  in  EP386  in  the  onshore  Bonaparte  Basin,  northern  Western  Australia.   New 
prospective recoverable resources of between 53.3 Billion Cubic Feet (Bcf) (Low Estimate) and 
1,326.3 Bcf (High Estimate) were assessed for the conventional hydrocarbon prospectivity within 
EP386.  This  is  in  addition  to  the  considerable  unconventional  (shale)  gas  resources  previously 
identified  in  EP386  and  RL1  where  studies  indicate  potential  prospective  shale  gas  resources 
with an estimated (P50) prospective recoverable resources of 9.8 Tcf.  

After Balance Date Events  

There  have  not  been  any  matters  or  circumstances  that  have  arisen  since  the  end  of  the  financial 
year, that have significantly affected, or may significantly  affect, the operations of the company, the 
results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the company in future financial years.

Remuneration Report (Audited) 

This  report  details  the  nature  and  amount  of  remuneration  for  key  management  personnel  of  BPH 
Energy.  

D L Breeze   -   Executive Chairman and Managing Director 
H Goh – Non Executive Director  
G Gilbert – Non Executive Director 
D Ambrosini – Executive Director and Company Secretary  

All the parties have held their current position for the whole of the financial year and since the end of 
the financial year. 

Remuneration Policy 

The  remuneration  policy  of  BPH  Energy  Limited  has  been  designed  to  align  director  and  executive 
objectives  with  shareholder  and  business  objectives  by  providing  a  fixed  remuneration  component 
and  offering  specific  long-term  incentives  as  determined  by  the  board  and/or  shareholders.  The 
remuneration report as contained in the 2012 financial accounts was adopted at the Company’s 2012 
annual general meeting. The board believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective 
in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the economic 
entity, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders. 

The  board’s  policy  for  determining  the  nature  and  amount  of  remuneration  for  board  members  and 
senior executives of the economic entity is as follows: 

 

The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other 
senior executives, was developed and approved by the board.  

  All  executives  receive  a  base  salary  (which  is  based  on  factors  such  as  length  of  service  and 

experience), superannuation, fringe benefits and options. 

 

The  board  reviews  executive  packages  annually  by  reference  to  the  economic  entity’s 
performance,  executive  performance  and  comparable  information  from  industry  sectors  and 
other listed companies in similar industries. 

The  performance  of  executives  is  measured  against  criteria  agreed  biannually  with  each  executive 
and is based predominantly on the amount of their workloads and responsibilities for the company. The 
board  may,  however,  exercise  its  discretion  in  relation to  approving  incentives,  bonuses  and  options, 
and  can  recommend  changes  to  recommendations.  Any  changes  must  be  justified  by  reference  to 
measurable  performance  criteria.  The  policy  is  designed  to  attract  the  highest  calibre  of  executives 
and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth. 

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements. 

The  executive  directors  and  executives  which  receive  salaries  receive  a  superannuation  guarantee 
contribution  required  by  the  government,  which  is  currently  9.25%,  and  do  not  receive  any  other 
retirement benefits.  

Shares  given  to  directors  and  executives  are  valued  as  the  difference  between  the  market  price  of 
those  shares  and  the  amount  paid  by  the  director  or  executive.  Options  are  valued  using  the  Black-
Scholes methodology.

Directors’ Report  
BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities 

The board policy is to remunerate non executive directors at market rates for comparable companies 
for  time,  commitment  and  responsibilities.  Payments  to  non-executive  directors  are  based  on  market 
practice,  duties  and  accountability.  Independent  external  advice  is  sought  when  required  on 
payments  to  non-executive  directors.  The  maximum  aggregate  amount  of  fees  that  can  be  paid  to 
non executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for 
non executive directors are not linked to the performance of the economic entity. However, to align 
directors’  interests  with  shareholder  interests,  the  directors  are  encouraged  to  hold  shares  in  the 
company and are able to participate in the employee option plan. 

The board does not have a policy in relation to the limiting of risk to directors and executives in relation 
to the shares and options provided. 

Employment contracts of key management personnel 

The  employment  conditions  of  the  managing  director,  all  of  the  key  management  personnel  are 
formalised  in  contracts  of  employment.  The  employment  contracts  stipulate  a  six  month  resignation 
period.  The company may terminate an employment contract without cause by providing six months 
written notice or making payment in lieu of notice, based on the individual’s annual salary component 
together  with  a  redundancy  payment  of  six  months  of  the  individual’s  fixed  salary  component. 
Termination payments are generally not payable on resignation or dismissal for serious misconduct. In 
the instance of serious misconduct the company can terminate employment at any time. Any options 
not exercised before or on the date of termination will not lapse. 

The remaining directors are consultants to BPH Energy and each party can terminate their services by 
written notice.

entity,  as  well  as  the  share  price  at  the  end  of  the  respective  financial  years.  Analysis  of  the  actual 
figures shows a slight decrease in the revenue from the previous year accompanied by a decrease in 
the loss in the current year which can be attributed to the tax credit calculated for the current year.

Corporate Governance 
BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities 

The Board of Directors of BPH Energy Limited (“BPH Energy” or “the Company”) (“Group”) is responsible 
for the corporate governance of the economic entity. The Board guides and monitors the business and 
affairs  of  the  Company  on  behalf  of  the  shareholders  by  whom  they  are  elected  and to  whom  they 
are accountable. 

To ensure that the Board is well equipped to discharge its responsibilities, it has established guidelines 
and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance.   

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURES 

BPH  Energy  Limited  and  the  board  are  committed  to  achieving  and  demonstrating  the  highest 
standards  of  corporate  governance.  The  board  continues  to  review  the  framework  and  practices  to 
ensure  they  meet  the  interests  of  shareholders.  The  company  and  its  controlled  entities  together  are 
referred to as the Group in this statement. 

COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD 

The  composition  of  the  Board  is  determined  in  accordance  with  the  following  principles  and 
guidelines: 

 

 

 

the  Board  should  comprise  a  majority  or  at  least  50%  of  the  Board  will  be  independent  non-
executive directors; 

the  Board  should  have  at  least  one  director  with  an  appropriate  range  of  qualifications  and 
expertise; and 

the  Board  shall  meet  at  regular  intervals  and  follow  meeting  guidelines  set  down  to  ensure  all 
directors  are  made  aware  of,  and  have  available  all  necessary  information,  to  participate  in  an 
informed discussion of all agenda items. 

When  a  vacancy  exists,  through  whatever  cause,  or  where  it  is  considered  that  the  Board  would 
benefit from the service of a new director with particular skills, the Board selects a candidate or panel 
of candidates with the appropriate expertise. 

The Board then appoints the most suitable candidate, who must stand for election at the next general 
meeting of shareholders. The Company does not have a formal Nomination Committee. 

REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEES 

The Company does not have a formal Remuneration or Nomination Committee. The full Board attends 
to  the  matters  normally  attended  to  by  a  Remuneration  Committee  and  a  Nomination  committee. 
Remuneration levels are set by the Company in accordance with industry standards to attract suitably 
qualified and experienced Directors and senior executives. 

AUDIT COMMITTEE 

The Company does not have a formal Audit Committee. The full Board carried out the functions of an 
Audit  Committee.  Due  to  the  status  of  the  Company  and  the  relatively  straight  forward  accounts  of 
the Company anticipated in the financial year, the Directors believe that there presently would be no 
additional benefits obtained by establishing such a committee. The Board follows the Audit Committee 
Charter, a copy of which is available on request.

BOARD RESPONSIBILITIES 

As  the  Board  acts  on  behalf  of  and  is  accountable  to  the  shareholders,  it  seeks  to  identify  the 
expectations of the shareholders, as well as other regulatory and ethical expectations and obligations. 
In  addition,  the  Board  is  responsible  for  identifying  areas  of  significant  business  risk  and  ensuring 
arrangements  are  in  place  to  adequately  manage  those  risks.  The  Board  seeks  to  discharge  these 
responsibilities in a number of ways. 

The  responsibility  for  the  operation  and  administration  of  the  economic  entity  is  delegated  by  the 
Board  to  the  Managing  Director.  The  Board  ensures  that  the  Managing  Director  is  appropriately 
qualified and experienced to discharge his responsibilities, and has in place procedures to assess the 
performance for the Company’s officers, employees, contractors and consultants. 

The Board is responsible for ensuring that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the 
expectations and risks identified by the Board. It has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure this is 
achieved, including the following: 

  Board  approval  of  a  strategic  plan,  designed  to  meet  shareholder  needs  and  manage  business 

risk; 

 

Implementation of operating plans and budgets by management and Board monitoring progress 
against budget; and 

  Procedures  to  allow  directors,  in  the  furtherance of  their  duties,  to  seek  independent  professional 

advice at the Company’s expense. 

MONITORING OF THE BOARD’S PERFORMANCE  

In order to ensure that the Board continues to discharge its responsibilities in an appropriate manner, 
the  performance  of  all  directors  is  to  be  reviewed  annually  by  the  chairperson.  Directors  whose 
performance is unsatisfactory are asked to retire. 

BEST PRACTICE RECOMMENDATION    

Outlined  below  are  the  8  Essential  Corporate  Governance  Principles  as  outlined  by  the  ASX  and  the 
Corporate  Governance  Council.    The  Company  has  complied  with  the  Corporate  Governance  Best 
Practice Recommendations except as identified below.  

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight  

Action taken and reasons  
if not adopted 

The relationship between the board and senior management is critical to the Group’s long-term 
success. The directors are responsible to the shareholders for the performance of the Group in both the 
short and the longer term and seek to balance sometimes competing objectives in the best interests of 
the Group as a whole. Their focus is to enhance the interests of shareholders and other key 
stakeholders and to ensure the Group is properly managed. 

 The responsibilities of the board include: 

• providing strategic guidance to the Group including contributing to the development of and 
approving the corporate strategy; 

• reviewing and approving business plans, and financial plans including major capital expenditure

Corporate Governance 
BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities 

initiatives; 

• overseeing and monitoring: 

Action taken and reasons  
if not adopted 

• organisational performance and the achievement of the Group’s strategic goals and 
objectives; and  

• progress of major capital expenditures and other significant corporate projects including any 
acquisitions or divestments; 

• monitoring financial performance including approval of the annual and half-year financial reports; 

• appointment, performance assessment and, if necessary, removal of the Managing Director; 

• ratifying the appointment and/or removal and contributing to the performance assessment for the 
members of the senior management team including the CFO and the Company Secretary (Deborah 
Ambrosini); 

• ensuring there are effective management processes in place and approving major corporate 
initiatives; 

• enhancing and protecting the reputation of the organization; and 

• overseeing the operation of the Group’s system for compliance and risk management reporting to 
shareholders. 

Day to day management of the Group’s affairs and the implementation of the corporate strategy and 
policy initiatives are formally delegated by the board to the Managing Director and senior executives.  

Principle 2: Structure the board to add value  

The board operates in accordance with the broad principles set out in its charter. The charter details 
the board’s composition and responsibilities. 

The board seeks to ensure that : 

  at any point in time, its membership represents an appropriate balance between directors 

with experience and knowledge of the Group and directors with an external or fresh 
perspective; and  
the size of the board is conducive to effective discussion and efficient decision-making.  

 

Directors’ independence 
The board has adopted specific principles in relation to directors’ independence. These state that 
when determining independence, a director must be a non-executive and the board should consider 
whether the director: 

• is a substantial shareholder of the company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a 
substantial shareholder of the company; 

• is or has been employed in an executive capacity by the company or any other Group member 
within three years before commencing to serve on the board; 

• within the last three years has been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material 
consultant to the company or any other Group member, or an employee materially associated with

Corporate Governance 
BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities 

the service provided;  

Action taken and reasons  
if not adopted 

• has a material contractual relationship with the company or a controlled entity other than as a 
director of the Group; and 

• is free from any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, 
materially interfere with the director’s independent exercise of their judgement. 

Materiality for these purposes is determined on both quantitative and qualitative bases. A transaction 
of any amount or a relationship is deemed material if knowledge of it may impact the shareholders’ 
understanding of the director’s performance. 

The board assesses independence each year. To enable this process, the directors must provide all 
information that may be relevant to the assessment. 

Board members 
Details of the members of the board, their experience, expertise, qualifications, term of office, 
relationships affecting their independence and their independent status are set out in the directors’ 
report under the heading ''Information on directors''. At the date of signing the directors’ report, there 
are two non-executive directors and two executive directors, three of whom have no relationships 
adversely affecting independence and so are deemed independent under the principles set out 
above. 
• Mr Breeze has business dealings with the Group as disclosed in note 25 to the financial report.  

Term of office 
The company’s Constitution specifies that all non-executive directors must retire from office no later 
than the third annual general meeting (AGM) following their last election. Where eligible, a director 
may stand for re-election, subject to the following limitations:  
• on attaining the age of 72 years a director will retire, by agreement, at the next AGM and will 
not seek re-election. 

Chair and Managing Director  
The Chair is responsible for leading the board, ensuring directors are properly briefed in all matters 
relevant to their role and responsibilities, facilitating board discussions and managing the board’s 
relationship with the company’s senior executives. In accepting the position, the Chair has 
acknowledged that it will require a significant time commitment and has confirmed that other 
positions will not hinder his effective performance in the role of Chair. 
The Managing Director is responsible for implementing Group strategies and policies.  
The Chairman does not satisfy the Independence test as the role of the Chairman and the Managing 
Director is exercised by the same person. The board is of the opinion that the Chairman’s role as 
Chairman of the Board is appropriate given his experience and knowledge of the business. 

Committees 
The number of meetings of the company’s board of directors and of each board committee held 
during the year ended 30 June 2013, and the number of meetings attended by each director is 
disclosed on page 10. 

It is the company’s practice to allow its executive directors to accept appointments outside the 
company. No appointments of this nature were accepted during the year ended 30 June 2013. 

The Company is not of  a size at the moment that justifies having a separate Nomination Committee.

Corporate Governance 
BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities 

Action taken and reasons  
if not adopted 

However, matters typically dealt with by such a committee are dealt with by the Board of Directors. 

Notices of meetings for the election of directors comply with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s 
best practice recommendations.  

Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision making  

The company has developed a statement of values which has been fully endorsed by the board and 
applies to all directors and employees. The Statement is regularly reviewed and updated as necessary 
to  ensure  it  reflects  the  highest  standards  of  behaviour  and  professionalism  and  the  practices 
necessary to maintain confidence in the Group’s integrity and to take into account legal obligations 
and reasonable expectations of the company’s stakeholders. 

The Statement requires that at all times all company personnel act with the utmost integrity, objectivity 
and in compliance with the letter and the spirit of the law and company policies. 

The Company’s share trading policy is set out on the Company’s website. 
The purchase and sale of company securities by directors and employees is monitored by the Board. 

The Company’s policy regarding diversity is set out on the Company’s website.  

The Company’s diversity policy does not include measurable objectives as the Board believes that the 
Company will not be able to successfully meet these given the size and stage of development of the 
Company.  If  the  Company’s  activities  increase  in  size,  nature  and  scope  in  the  future,  the  suitable 
measurable objectives will be agreed and put into place.  

The  company  is  committed  to  Diversity  and  Equal  Opportunity  within  its  workforce  placing  particular 
focus  on  the  level  of  gender  diversity  at  senior  levels  of  the  organisation.  The  company  ensure  this  is 
achieved by : 

  ensuring recruitment and selection practices enable the availability of a diverse candidate pool for 

appointments at senior levels; 

  development of high potential women; 
 
implementation of flexible working arrangements; and  
  ensuring remuneration practices are free from gender bias.  

Given the size of the Company the Directors do not consider it appropriate to set and include 
measurable objectives in relation to diversity within the annual report. Notwithstanding this, the 
Company strives to provide the best possible opportunities for current and prospective employees of 
all backgrounds in such a manner that best adds to overall shareholder value and which reflects the 
values, principles and spirit of the Company’s Diversity Policy.  

At conclusion of the reporting year, one of BPH Energy’s four directors is female.  

Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting 

Adopted except as follows:- 

The Company does not have a separate Audit Committee. The full Board carries out the functions of 
an  Audit  Committee.  The  Board  has  the  authority,  within  the  scope  of  its  responsibilities,  to  seek  any 
information it requires from any employee or external party.

Corporate Governance 
BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities 

Action taken and reasons  
if not adopted 

Due to the status of the Company and the relatively straight forward accounts of the Company, the 
Directors  at  the  moment  can  see  no  additional  benefits  to  be  obtained  by  establishing  such  a 
committee.  

The Board follows the Audit Committee Charter, a copy of which is available on request. 

External auditors 

The Board’s policy is to appoint external auditors who clearly demonstrate quality and independence. 
The performance of the  external auditor is reviewed annually and applications for tender of external 
audit  services  are  requested  as  deemed  appropriate,  taking  into  consideration  assessment  of 
performance, existing value and tender costs. Nexia was appointed as the external auditor in 2012. It is 
the Corporation Act’s policy to rotate audit engagement partners on listed companies at least every 
five  years.  A  partner  should  not  be  re-assigned  to  a  listed  entity  audit  engagement  if  this  equates  to 
the partner serving in this role for more than 5 out of 7 successive years. 

An analysis of fees paid to the external auditors, including a break-down of fees for non-audit services, 
is  provided  in  the  directors’  report  and  in  note  5  to  the  financial  statements.  It  is  the  policy  of  the 
external auditors to provide an annual declaration of their independence to the Board. 

The external auditor will attend the annual general meeting and be available to answer shareholder 
questions  about  the  conduct  of  the  audit  and  the  preparation  and  content  of  the  audit  report.  The 
Company is not of a size at the moment that justifies having a internal audit division.   

Principle 5&6: Make timely and balanced disclosures and respect the rights of shareholders  
Continuous disclosure and shareholder communication  

The company has policies and procedures on information disclosure that focus on continuous 
disclosure of any information concerning the Group that a reasonable person would expect to have a 
material  effect  on  the  price  of  the  company’s  securities.  These  policies  and  procedures  also  include 
the  arrangements  the  company  has  in  place  to  promote  communication  with  shareholders  and 
encourage effective participation at general meetings.  

The Company Secretary has been nominated as the person responsible for communications with the 
ASX.  This  role 
includes  responsibility  for  ensuring  compliance  with  the  continuous  disclosure 
requirements  in  the  ASX  Listing  Rules  and  overseeing  and  co-ordinating  information  disclosure  to  the 
ASX, analysts, brokers, shareholders, the media and the public. 

All information disclosed to the ASX is posted on the company’s website as soon as it is disclosed to the 
ASX. When analysts are briefed on aspects of the Group’s operations, the material used in the 
presentation  is  released  to  the  ASX  and  posted  on  the  company’s  web  site.  Procedures  have  also 
been  established  for  reviewing  whether  any  price  sensitive  information  has  been  inadvertently 
disclosed and, if so, this information is also immediately released to the market. 

All shareholders receive a copy of the company’s annual (full or concise) and half-yearly reports. In 
addition,  the  company  seeks  to  provide  opportunities  for  shareholders  to  participate  through 
electronic  means.  Recent  initiatives  to  facilitate  this  include  making  all  company  announcements, 
media  briefings,  details  of  company  meetings,  and  financial  reports  available  on  the  company’s 
website.

Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk 

Action taken and reasons  
if not adopted 

The board and senior executives are responsible for ensuring there are adequate policies in relation to 
risk  management,  compliance  and  internal  control  systems.  In  summary,  the  company  policies  are 
designed  to  ensure  strategic,  operational,  legal,  reputational  and  financial  risks  are  identified, 
assessed, effectively and efficiently managed and monitored to enable achievement of the Group’s 
business objectives. 

Considerable  importance  is  placed  on  maintaining  a  strong  control  environment.  There  is  an 
organisation structure with clearly drawn lines of accountability and delegation of authority. The board 
actively promotes a culture of quality and integrity. 

The  responsibility  for  the  operation  and  administration  of  the  economic  entity  is  delegated  by  the 
board  to  the  Managing  Director.  The  board  ensures  that  the  Managing  Director  is  appropriately 
qualified and experienced to discharge his responsibilities, and has in place procedures to assess the 
performance for the Company’s officers, employees, contractors and consultants. The board receives 
monthly  updates  as  to  the  effectiveness  of  the  company's  management  of  material  risks  that  may 
impede meeting business objectives. 

The board is responsible for ensuring that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the 
expectations and risks identified by the Board. It has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure this is 
achieved, including the following: 

  Board  approval  of  a  strategic  plan,  designed  to  meet  shareholder  needs  and  manage  business 

risk; 

 

Implementation of operating plans and budgets by management and  board monitoring progress 
against budget; and 

  Procedures  to  allow  directors,  in  the  furtherance of  their  duties,  to  seek  independent  professional 

advice at the Company’s expense. 

Control procedures cover management accounting, financial reporting, project appraisal, IT security, 
compliance  and  other  risk  management  issues.  The  Managing  Director  is  required  to  ensure  that 
appropriate  controls  are  in  place  to  effectively  manage  the  identified  risks.  This  is  monitored  by  the 
board on a monthly basis. 

The environment 
Information on compliance with significant environmental regulations is set out in the directors’ report. 

Corporate reporting  
The Managing Director and CFO have made the following certifications to the board: 

• that the company’s financial reports are complete and present a true and fair view, in all 
material respects, of the financial condition and operational results of the company and Group 
and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards; 

• that the above statement is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal 
compliance and control which implements the policies adopted by the board; and  
•  that  the  company’s  risk  management  and  internal  compliance  and  control  is  operating 
efficiently and effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly 

Action taken and reasons  
if not adopted 

The Company is not of a size at the moment that justifies having a separate Remuneration Committee.  
However, matters typically dealt with by such a committee are dealt with by the board. 

The  board  makes  specific  recommendations  on  remuneration  packages  and  other  terms  of 
employment  for  executive  directors,  other  senior  executives  and  non-executive  directors.  The  board 
also reviews gender pay equity on an annual basis to ensure equality.  

Each member of the senior executive team signs a formal employment contract at the time of their 
appointment covering a range of matters including their duties, rights, responsibilities and any 
entitlements on termination. The standard contract refers to a specific formal job description.  

Further information on directors’ and executives’ remuneration, including principles used to determine 
remuneration,  is  set  out  in  the  directors’  report  under  the  heading  ''Remuneration  report''.  In 
accordance with Group policy, participants in equity-based remuneration plans are not permitted to 
enter into any transactions that would limit the economic risk of options or other unvested entitlements.  

The  board  with  the  Managing  Director  also  assumes  responsibility  for  overseeing  management 
succession  planning, 
implementation  of  appropriate  executive  development 
programmes and ensuring adequate arrangements are in place, so that appropriate candidates are 
recruited for later promotion to senior positions.

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies 

Corporate Information  

The  financial  report  includes  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  the  notes  of  BPH  Energy 
Limited and controlled entities (‘Consolidated Group’ or ‘Group’).  

BPH  Energy  Limited  is  a  company  incorporated  and  domiciled  in  Australia  and  listed  on  the 
Australian Securities Exchange.  

The financial report was authorised for issue on 26th August 2013 by the board of directors. 

Basis of Preparation   

The  financial  report  is  a  general  purpose  financial  report  that  has  been  prepared  in  accordance 
with  Australian  Accounting  Standards,  Australian  Accounting  Interpretations,  other  authoritative 
pronouncements  of  the  Australian  Accounting Standards Board  (“AASB”)and  the Corporations  Act 
2001. 

Australian  Accounting  Standards  set  out  accounting  policies  that  the  AASB  has  concluded  would 
result  in  a  financial  report  containing  relevant  and  reliable  information  about  transactions,  events 
and conditions to which they apply. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this 
financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. 

The  financial  report  has  been  prepared  on  an  accruals  basis  and  is  based  on  historical  costs, 
modified, where stated below. 

Compliance with IFRS  

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  BPH  Energy  Limited  group  comply  with  International 
Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRS)  as  issued  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board 
(IASB). 

Financial Position  

The consolidated entity has incurred losses for the year ended 30 June 2013 of $594,908 (2012: losses of 
$764,478) and has a net cash outflow from operating activities of $412,426 (2012: $497,739).   

The directors have reviewed their expenditure and  their commitments for the consolidated entity. The 
directors  as  a  part  of  cash  management  may  voluntarily  suspend  cash  payments  for  their  director’s 
fees.  

The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts that indicate that the consolidated entity will have 
sufficient cash flows for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report.  

Based  on  the  cash  flow  forecasts  and  the  monitoring  of  operational  costs,  the  directors  are  satisfied 
that,  the  going  concern  basis  of  preparation  is  appropriate.  The  financial  report  has  therefore  been 
prepared  on  a  going  concern  basis,  which  assumes  continuity  of  normal  business  activities  and  the 
realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities 

Accounting Policies 

(a)  Principles of Consolidation 

  A  controlled  entity  is  any  entity  BPH  Energy  Limited  has  the  power  to  control  the  financial  and 

operating policies of so as to obtain benefits from its activities. 

  A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 20 to the financial statements. All controlled entities 

have a June financial year-end. 

  As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into 

the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended.  

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition 
and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. 

All  inter-company  balances and  transactions between  entities in  the  economic  entity,  including 
any  unrealised  profits  or  losses,  have  been  eliminated  on  consolidation.  Accounting  policies  of 
subsidiaries  have  been  changed  where  necessary  to  ensure  consistencies  with  those  policies 
applied by the parent entity. 

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. 

Changes in the Group’s interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted 
for  as  equity  transactions.  The carrying  amounts  of  the  Group’s interests  and  the non-controlling 
interests  are  adjusted  to  reflect  the  changes  in  their  relative  interests  in  the  subsidiaries.  Any 
difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair 
value  of  the  consideration  paid  or  received  is  recognised  directly  in  equity  and  attributed  to 
owners of the Company. 

When  the  Group  loses  control  of  a  subsidiary,  the  profit  or  loss  on  disposal  is  calculated  as  the 
difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair 
value  of  any  retained  interest  and  (ii)  the  previous  carrying  amount  of  the  assets  (including 
goodwill),  and  liabilities  of  the  subsidiary  and  any  non-controlling  interests.  Amounts  previously 
recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income  in  relation  to  the  subsidiary  are  accounted  for  (i.e. 
reclassified  to  profit  or  loss  or  transferred  directly  to  retained  earnings)  in  the  same  manner  as 
would  be  required  if  the  relevant  assets  or  liabilities  were  disposed  of.  The  fair  value  of  any 
investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair 
value  on  initial  recognition  for  subsequent  accounting  under  AASB  139  Financial  Instruments: 
Recognition  and  Measurement  or,  when  applicable,  the  cost  on  initial  recognition  of  an 
investment in an associate or jointly controlled entity. 

(b) 

Income Tax 

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any 
non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or 
are substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2013 
BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities 

Deferred tax is accounted for using the statement of financial position liability method in respect 
of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying 
amounts  in  the  financial  statements.  No  deferred  income  tax  will  be recognised from  the  initial 
recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on 
accounting or taxable profit or loss. 

Deferred  tax  is  calculated  at  the  tax  rates  that  are  expected  to  apply  to  the  period  when  the 
asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive 
income except where it relates to items that may be recognised directly to equity, in which case 
the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. 

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits 
will  be  available  against  which  deductible  temporary  differences  or  unused  tax  losses  and  tax 
credits can be utilised. 

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based  on 
the  assumption  that  no  adverse  change  will  occur  in  income  taxation  legislation  and  the 
anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the 
benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. 

BPH  Energy  Limited  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian  subsidiaries  have  formed  an  income  tax 
consolidated  group  under  the  tax  consolidation  regime.  The  group  notified  the  Australian 
Taxation Office on 30 June 2006 that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply 
from 30 June 2006. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax  funding agreement whereby 
each  company  in  the  group  contributes  to  the  income  tax  payable  in  proportion  to  their 
contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated group. 

Tax incentives 
The  company  may  be  entitled  to  claim  special  tax  deductions  in  relation  to  qualifying 
expenditure.  As  the  company  is not  in  a position  to  recognise  current  income  tax  payable or 
current tax expense, a refundable tax offset will be received in cash and recognised as rebate 
revenue in the period the underlying expenses have been incurred. 

(c)   Property, Plant & Equipment 

Each  class  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  is  carried  at  cost  less,  where  applicable,  any 
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

Plant and equipment 

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. 

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not 
in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on 
the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and 
subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values 
in determining recoverable amounts. 

The  cost  of  fixed  assets  constructed  within  the  economic  entity  includes  the  cost  of  materials, 
direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2013 
BPH Energy Limited and its controlled entities 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, 
as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item 
will flow  to  the Group and  the  cost  of  the  item can  be measured  reliably.  All  other  repairs and 
maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are 
incurred. 

Depreciation 
The  depreciable  amount  of  fixed  assets  is  depreciated  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  their  useful 
lives. 

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: 

Class of Fixed Asset 

Depreciation Rate 

Plant and equipment 

15 - 33 % 

The  assets'  residual  values  and  useful  lives  are  reviewed,  and  adjusted  if  appropriate,  at  each 
statement of financial position date. 

An  asset's  carrying  amount  is written  down immediately  to  its  recoverable  amount  if  the asset's 
carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. 
These  gains  and  losses  are  included  in  the  income  statement.  When  revalued  assets  are  sold, 
amounts  included  in  the  revaluation  reserve  relating  to  that  asset  are  transferred  to  retained 
earnings. 

(d) 

Financial Instruments 

Recognition and Initial Measurement 
Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when 
the  entity  becomes  a  party  to  the  contractual  provisions  of  the  instrument.  Trade  date 
accounting  is  adopted  for  financial  assets  that  are  delivered  within  timeframes  established  by 
marketplace convention. 

Financial  instruments  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value  plus  transactions  costs  where  the 
instrument  is  not  classified  as  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss.  Transaction  costs  related  to 
instruments  classified  as  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  are  expensed  to  profit  or  loss 
immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.  

Derecognition 
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or 
the  asset  is  transferred  to  another  party  whereby  the  entity  is  no  longer  has  any  significant 
continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are 
derecognised  where  the  related  obligations  are  either  discharged,  cancelled  or  expire.  The 
difference  between  the  carrying  value  of  the  financial  liability  extinguished  or  transferred  to 
another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets 
or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement 
(i)  Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 

Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for 
the purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, 
or designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation 
where  a  group  of  financial  assets  is  managed  by  key  management  personnel  on  a  fair  value 
basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and 
unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in  profit or loss in the 
period in which they arise.  

(ii)  Loans and receivables  

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that 
are  not  quoted  in  an  active  market  and  are  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the 
effective interest rate method. 

(iii)  Available-for-sale financial assets  

Available-for-sale  financial  assets  are  non-derivative  financial  assets  that  are  either  designated  as 
such or that are not classified in any of the other categories. 

Listed shares held by the Group that are traded in an active market are classified as AFS and are 
stated  at  fair  value.  The  Group  also  has  investments  in  unlisted  shares  that  are  not  traded  in  an 
active market but that are also classified as AFS financial assets and stated at fair value (because 
the  directors  consider  that  fair  value  can  be  reliably  measured).  Gains  and  losses  arising  from 
changes  in  fair  value  are  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income  and  accumulated  in  the 
investments  revaluation  reserve,  with  the  exception  of  impairment  losses,  interest  calculated  using 
the  effective  interest  method,  and  foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  on  monetary  assets,  which 
are recognised in profit or loss.  

(iv) 

Financial Liabilities 
Non-derivative financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest rate method. 

Fair value  
Fair  value  is  determined  based  on  current  bid  prices  for  all  quoted  investments.  Valuation 
techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s 
length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.  

Impairment  
At  each  reporting  date,  the  group  assesses  whether  there  is  objective  evidence  that  a  financial 
instrument  has  been  impaired.  In  the  case  of  available-for-sale  equity  financial  instruments,  a 
significant or prolonged decline in the value of the instrument below cost is considered to determine 
whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss.  

(e) 

Impairment of Assets 

At  each  reporting  date,  the  group  reviews  the  carrying  values  of  its  tangible  and  intangible 
assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such 
an  indication  exists,  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  asset,  being  the  higher  of  the  asset's  fair 
value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of 
the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the profit or loss.

(f) 

Investments in Associates 

Associates  are all  entities  over which  the  group  has  significant  influence  but  not  control or  joint 
control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. 
Investments  in  associates  are  accounted  for  in  the  parent  entity  financial  statements  using  the 
cost  method  and  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  using  the  equity  method  of 
accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The equity method of accounting recognises 
the group’s share of post-acquisition reserves of its associates. 

The  group’s  share  of its  associates’  post-acquisition  profits  or losses  is  recognised  in  the  profit  or 
loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in other comprehensive 
income.  The cumulative  post-acquisition movements  are  adjusted  against  the  carrying  amount 
of the investment. 

Dividends receivable from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s profit or loss, while in 
the consolidated financial statements they reduce the carrying amount of the investment. 

When the group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the  associate, 
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 associate. 

Unrealised  gains  on  transactions  between  the  group  and  its  associates  are  eliminated  to  the 
extent  of  the  group’s  interest  in  the  associates.  Unrealised  losses  are  also  eliminated  unless  the 
transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of 
associates  have  been  changed  where  necessary  to  ensure  consistency  with  the  policies 
adopted by the group. 

Where  an  investment  is  classified  as  a  financial  asset  in  accordance  with  AASB  139,  at  the  date 
significant  influence  is  achieved,  the  fair  value  of  the  investment  needs  to  be  assessed.  Any  fair 
value gains are recognised in accordance with the  treatment the classification the financial asset 
as required by AASB 139. 

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable 
assets,  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  of  the  associate  recognised  at  the  date  of  acquisition  is 
recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess 
of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities 
over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss. 

(g) 

Intangibles 

Research  

Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred.  

Patents and Trademarks  

Patents  and  trademarks  are  recognised  at  cost  of  acquisition.  Patents  and  trademarks  have  a 
finite life and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. 
Patents and trademarks are amortised over their useful life of 10 years.

(h) 

Employee Benefits  

Provision is made for the company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered 
by  employees  to  balance  date.  Short  term  employee  benefits  have  been  measured  at  the 
amounts  expected  to  be  paid  when  the  liability  is  settled,  plus  related  on-costs.  Long  term 
employee  benefits  have  been  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the  estimated  future  cash 
outflows to be made for those benefits. 

(i) 

Provisions  

Provisions  are  recognised  when  the  group  has  a  legal  or  constructive  obligation,  as  a  result  of 
past  events,  for  which  it  is  probable  that  an  outflow  of  economic  benefits  will  result  and  that 
outflow can be reliably measured. 

(j)  Cash and Cash Equivalents 

  Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-
term highly liquid investments, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term 
borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. 

(k)  Revenue and Other Income 

Interest  revenue  is  recognised  when  it  is  probable  that  the  economic  benefits  will  flow  to  the 
Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.  Interest revenue is accrued on a 
timely  basis,  by  reference  to  the  principal  outstanding  and  at  the  effective  interest  rate 
applicable 

Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.  

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised by reference to the stage of completion 
of the contract.  

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). 

(l)  Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  GST,  except  where  the 
amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances 
the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the 
expense.  

Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. 

Cash  flows  are  presented  in  the  cash  flow  statement  on  a  gross  basis,  except  for  the  GST 
component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. 

(m)  Trade and other payables  

Liabilities  are  recognized  for  amounts  to  be  paid  in  the  future  for  goods  or  services  received, 
whether or not billed to the consolidated entity. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid 
within 30 days.

(n) 

Share based payments 

The fair value of options granted under the Company’s Employee Option Plan is recognized as 
an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured 
at  grant  date  and  recognized  over  the  period  during  which  the  employees  become 
unconditionally entitled to the options.  

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

The fair value of the options granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions 
(for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included 
in  assumptions  about  the  number  of  options  that  are  expected  to  vest.  At  each  statement  of 
financial position date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected 
to  vest.  The  employee  benefit  expense  recognised  each  period  takes  into  account  the  most 
recent estimate. Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share-based payments reserve 
relating to those options is transferred to share capital.  

(o)  Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members, adjusted to 
exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided 
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.  

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 
additional  ordinary  shares  that  would  have  been  outstanding  assuming  the  conversion  of  all 
dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

(p)  Critical accounting estimates and judgments 

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments 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. 

Key judgements — Provision for Impairment of Loans Receivables 
Included  in  the  accounts  of  Consolidated  entity  are  amounts  from  current  loan  receivables  of 
$1,637,691 (2012: $1,707,203) and non-current loan receivable of $ 941,679 (2012: $289,424). The 
directors believe that the full amount of the debt will be recoverable from each entity and that 
no provision for impairment of receivables has been made at 30 June 2013.  

Key Judgments —Impairment of Intangible Assets 
No impairment has been recognised in respect of intangible assets for the year ended 30 June 
2013  (2012:  $nil).   The  directors  believe  that  the  carrying  value  of  all  intangibles  is  appropriate 
after  reviewing  the  status  of  each  entity’s  developments.  The  directors  are  confident  that  the 
products will provide the necessary returns to the Company.

Key Judgments —Fair Value of Financial Assets 
The fair value of listed shares has been determined by reference to published price quotations in 
an  active  market.  The  fair  values  of  unlisted  securities  not  traded  in  an  active  market  are 
measured at fair value, using the barrel of oil equivalent and expected monetary value methods.

Financial Risk Management 

a) 

Financial Risk Management 

The  group’s  financial  instruments  consist  mainly  of  deposits  with  banks,  short-term  investments, 
accounts  receivable  and  payable,  and  loans  to  and  from  subsidiaries.    The  main  purpose  of  non-
derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for group operations policies. 

i. Financial Risk Exposures and Management 
The main risks the group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk, 
credit risk and equity price risk.  

Interest rate risk 
Interest rate risk is managed with a mixture of fixed and floating rate debt. 

Liquidity risk 
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, by continuously monitoring 
forecast and actual cash flows.  

Credit risk 
The  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk,  excluding  the  value  of  any  collateral  or  other  security,  at 
balance  date  to  recognised  financial  assets,  is  the  carrying  amount,  net  of  any  provisions  for 
impairment  of  those  assets,  as  disclosed  in  the  statement  of  financial  position  and  notes  to  the 
financial statements. 

Credit risk for derivative financial instruments arises from the potential failure by counter-parties to the 
contract to meet their obligations. 

The  economic  entity  does  not  have  any  material  credit  risk  exposure  to  any  single  receivable  or 
group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the economic entity. 

Foreign currency risk 

The Group is not exposed to any material risks in relation to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.  

b) 

Financial Instruments 

i. Interest rate risk 
The economic entity’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value 
will  fluctuate  as  a  result  of  changes  in  market  interest  rates  and  the  effective  weighted  average 
interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities, is as follows:

   ii. Fair Values 

The fair values of: 

 

Term receivables are determined by discounting the cash flows, at the market interest rates 
of similar securities, to their present value. 

  Other  loans  and  amounts  due  are  determined  by  discounting  the  cash  flows,  at  market 

 

interest rates of similar borrowings to their present value. 
For unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market, the fair value has been 
based on a reasonable  estimation of the  underlying net assets  or discounted cash flows of 
the investment. 

  Other assets and liabilities approximate their carrying value. 

No  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  readily  traded  on  organised  markets  in 
standardised form other than listed investments.

        iii. Sensitivity Analysis  

Interest Rate Risk 

The group has performed sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk at balance date.  
This sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result 
from a change in these risks. 

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis 
The effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all 
other variables remaining constant would be as follows: 

Change in profit 

—  Increase in interest rate 

1% 

—  Decrease in interest rate 

by 0.5%

iv. Liquidity risk 

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve 
borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the 
maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. 

Liquidity is the risk that the company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with 
its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. 

The following are the contractual maturities at the end of the reporting period of financial liabilities.

30.    Application of New and Revised Accounting Standards  

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods 
beginning  after  1  July  2012,  and  have  not  been  applied  in  preparing  these  consolidated  financial 
statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt 
these standards early. 

 AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements 

AASB 10 introduces a single control model to determine whether an investee should be consolidated. As a 
result, the Group will need to change its consolidation conclusion in respect of its investees, which may  lead 
to changes in the current accounting for these investees.  

 AASB 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities (2011) 

AASB  12  brings  together  into  a  single  standard  all  the  disclosure  requirements  about  an  entity’s  interests  in 
subsidiaries,  joint  arrangements,  associates  and  unconsolidated  structured  entities.  The  Group  is  currently 
assessing the disclosure requirements for interests in subsidiaries, interests in joint arrangements and associates 
and  unconsolidated  structured  entities  in  comparison  with  the  existing  disclosures.  AASB  12  requires  the 
disclosure of information about the nature, risks and financial effects of these interests. 

AASB  9  Financial  Instruments  (2010),  AASB  9  Financial  Instruments  (2009)AASB  9  (2009)  introduces  new 
requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. Under AASB 9 (2009), financial assets 
are classified and measured based on the business model in which they are held and the characteristics of 
their  contractual  cash  flows.  AASB  9  (2010)  introduces  additions  relating  to  financial  liabilities.  The  IASB 
currently has an active project that may result in limited amendments to the classification and measurement 
requirements of AASB 9 and add new requirements to address the impairment of financial assets and hedge 
accounting.  AASB 9  (2010 and 2009) are  effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January  2015 
with  early  adoption  permitted.  The  adoption  of  AASB  9  (2010)  is  not  expected  to  have  an  impact  on  the 
Group’s financial assets and liabilities.
