CHAI RMAN’S 
LETTE R   

Dear Shareholder 

Developments in the company’s biotech/medtech 
investments continue.

BPH investee Cortical Dynamics Ltd announced a 
number of significant advances during the period 
which included:-  

Its first European trial with the Hospital Foch in 
Paris, France. The arrangement with Hospital Foch 
was the second installation of the BAR Monitor 
technology internationally and the first for Cortical in 
Europe. Cortical also appointed Reno Wright Smith 
& Partners (“RWS”) to undertake marketing activities 
to assist Cortical to enter the European market. 
RWS, based in Chicago, Illinois, are specialists 
in commercialisation of early stage medical 
technologies. 

Further evaluation trials continue in Melbourne and 
Sydney. Cortical’s BARM has recently been used in 
further successful trials at Strathfield Private Hospital 
in Sydney. Strathfield is part of the Ramsay private 
hospital group.

Cortical advised it had signed its first European 
Distribution agreement covering the BARM for of 
Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. Cortical will 
initially focus on the Total Intravenous Anaesthesia 
(“TIVA”) market within Europe. TIVA provides a 
method of inducing and maintaining general 
anaesthesia intravenously without the use of any 
inhalation agents.

Cortical was also invited by Austrade to attend 
and present at the Austrade Med Tech Innovation 
Showcase held in Korea in September 2016 and 
following this Cortical advised that it had signed 
a distribution agreement in South Korea. Cortical’ 
s Monitor will be now exhibited by its Korean 
distributor GLOBALUCK on 8th to 10th November 

2018 at the Congress of Korean Anaesthesiology  in 
Seoul. Cortical’s CTO will attend this conference and 
will also, with the assistance of Austrade, meet the 
heads of leading teaching and research hospitals in 
Korea. 

Cortical also announced the appointment of Mr 
Gary Todd as Managing Director. His extensive 
international experience has included seven years 
in the Anaesthetic & Critical care division as sales 
and marketing manager for one of the three largest 
Medical device distributors in Australia.

BPH Energy Ltd has also announced it intends 
to pursue a complementary strategy of making 
investments in the medical cannabis sector. The 
medical cannabis sector is showing significant 
growth with current developments boosting the 
sectors viability including the move to legalise 
cannabis in Canada, the announcements by the UK 
Govt. to legalise medical cannabis and the Australian 
Govt.  to legalise the export of medical cannabis 
from Australia.

Further discussions have been held on funding 
proposals for the HLS5 cancer gene with Chinese 
interest fostered by HLS5’s potential in the treatment 
of liver cancer - a major medical challenge in China.
BPH has announced a rights issue to raise up 
to $1,186,237 and Cortical has engaged Enable 
Funding to undertake a pre-IPO capital raising of up 
to $2 million.

These developments offer the capacity for exciting 
growth in the company’s medtech investments.

BPH continues to focus on the priority drilling of a 
well at the Baleen drilling target in PEP11 at the 
earliest possible opportunity given significantly 
reduced rig rates and the availability of rigs to 
achieve this. (PEP11 interest held through Advent 
Energy)

HEALTH  TECHNOLOGY  RESOURCES 

The gas supply crisis on the east coast of Australia 
has created a significant market opportunity to raise 
the funding to drill with the objective of developing 
the PEP11 project and we continue to engage 
with investors who wish to fund this project. Our 
proposals involve funding initiatives for both of 
Advent Energy Limited’s (“Advent”) projects.

On 10 January 2018 MEC announced the 
acceptance by NOPSEMA of the Baleen 2D High 
Resolution Seismic Plan. This approval process took 
approximately 7 months for a seismic program with 
a primary survey area of just 9 sq. km. This project 
had an initial estimated cost of $500,000 and had a 
final cost of $860,000.

In January 2018 MEC Resources Limited (“MEC”) 
(ASX: MMR) announced an extension of the PEP11 
permit had been granted until 2021. The drilling of a 
well in PEP11 is a confirmed year 4 commitment as 
disclosed  in that release  with this to be completed 
by 12 February 2020 prior to a 3D seismic survey of 
500 sq. km.

 On 24 November 2017 the Advent AGM 
presentation “Strategic Summary: Tactics to Success” 
confirmed the strategy of “Complete current 2D 
seismic commitment to deliver shallow hazard 
survey work …to deliver ‘drill ready’ gas prospect 
..and.. actively pursue farm-out ..for early drilling, 
capturing near-term rig availability off Australia’s 
coast.” 

In December 2017 MEC announced a conditional 
farmin with RL Energy Ltd, (“RL Energy”) a company 
controlled by Greg Channon, who until immediately 
prior to the announcement was a director of Advent 
and charged with sourcing and negotiating funding 
for Advent’s projects. 

On 15 February 2018 MEC was placed in a trading 
halt after the ASX had asked a series of questions 
relating to MEC’s December 2017 announcement 
referred to above. MEC confirmed in a letter released 
to ASX on 15 February 2018 in relation to RL Energy 
that “there can be no certainty that the provision 
of funding” for “the … 3D seismic works will be 
finalised”“.

On 19 February 2018 MEC also announced that the 
3D farmin transaction with RL Energy would earn an 
unspecified percentage interest in the PEP11 permit 
by funding the 3D project only up to a maximum of 
$4 million. MEC has previously estimated the cost of 
this 500 sq. km of 3D at least up to $8 million. 

A further announcement on 8 January 2018 
confirmed Advent was planning the plug and 
abandonment of the three Bonaparte Basin wells 
Waggon Creek, Vienta and Weaber in the 2018 
dry season. This did not occur. On 29 March 2018 
an Instrument of Direction was issued to Advent’s 
subsidiary, Onshore Energy Pty ltd, by the WA Govt. 
(DMIRS) for the Waggon Creek and Vienta wells 
in EP386. The Instrument of Direction to plug and 
abandon the wells must be completed by March 
2020. The wet season means this work must be 
completed during 2019.

In the MEC prospectus lodged with ASIC on 16 
May 2018 it was advised that a well management 
plan, environmental plan and safety case must be 
submitted to the DMIRS by 28 September 2018 for 
the decommissioning of Waggon Creek-1 and Vienta 
-1 wells. This also did not occur.

Independent proposals put forward to meet these 
permit commitments have not been accepted by 
Advent, and the Bonaparte assets have been ‘sold’ to 
a company which has not confirmed any funding to 
meet these commitments.

The issues at board level in MEC and Advent has 
been adverse to the development of these key 
projects and your company has continued to seek 
resolution of the issues and has only taken such 
steps as has been necessary to protect its position. 
A number of legal actions continue. MEC and its 
subsidiaries have court actions and claims against 
them for amounts in excess of $1.29 million.

Yours Sincerely 
David Breeze 
Chairman

&  DEVELOPMENT
BPH ENERGY LIMITED  

AND IT’S CONTROLLED ENTITIES

BPH Energy’s major investment is in Advent 
Energy Ltd, an unlisted oil and gas exploration and 
development company with onshore and offshore 
exploration and near-term development assets 
around Australia.

ADVENT ENERGY LTD

BPH Energy has a direct interest in Advent Energy of 
24%.  Advents assets include EP386 and RL1 (100%) 
in the onshore Bonaparte Basin in the north of 
Western Australia and Northern territory and PEP11 
(85%) in the offshore Sydney Basin.

PEP 11 OIL AND GAS PERMIT

Advent, through wholly owned subsidiary Asset 
Energy Pty Ltd, holds 85% of Petroleum Exploration 
Permit PEP 11 – an exploration permit prospective 
for natural gas located in the Offshore Sydney Basin. 

PEP 11 is a significant offshore exploration area with 
large scale structuring and potentially multi-Trillion 
cubic feet (Tcf) gas charged Permo-Triassic reservoirs. 
Mapped prospects and leads within the Offshore 
Sydney Basin are generally located less than 50km 
from the Sydney-Wollongong-Newcastle greater 
metropolitan area. 

Advent has previously interpreted significant 
seismically indicated gas features.  Key indicators 
of hydrocarbon accumulation features have been 
interpreted following review of the 2004 seismic data 
(reprocessed in 2010).  The seismic features include 
apparent Hydrocarbon Related Diagenetic Zones 
(HRDZ), Amplitude Versus Offset (AVO) anomalies 
and potential flat spots.  

In addition, a geochemical report has provided 
support for a potential exploration well in PEP11. The 
report reviewed the hydrocarbon analysis performed 
on sediment samples obtained in PEP11 during 
2010. The 2010 geochemical investigation utilised 
a proprietary commercial hydrocarbon adsorption 
and laboratory analysis technique to assess the levels 
of naturally occurring hydrocarbons in the seabed 
sediment samples. 

The report supports that the area surrounding 
the proposed drilling site on the Baleen prospect 
appears best for hydrocarbon influence relative to 
background samples. In addition, the report found 
that the Baleen prospect appears to hold a higher 
probability of success than other prospects. 

Importantly, “a recent review of more than 850 
wildcat wells – all drilled after geochemical surveys – 
finds that 79% of wells drilled in positive anomalies 
resulted in commercial oil and gas discoveries.” 
(Surface geochemical exploration for oil and gas: 
New life for an old technology, D. Schumacher, 2000, 
The Leading Edge)

Advent has demonstrated considerable gas 
generation and migration within PEP11, with the 
mapped prospects and leads highly prospective for 
the discovery of gas.

Advent Energy has conducted a focussed seismic 
campaign around a key drilling prospect in PEP11 at 
Baleen, in the offshore Sydney Basin. 

The high resolution 2D seismic survey covering 
approximately 200 line km was performed to assist 
in the drilling of the Baleen target approximately 
30 km south east of Newcastle, New South Wales. 
A drilling target on the Baleen prospect at a depth 
of 2150 metres subsea has been identified in a 
review of previous seismic data. Intersecting 2D 
lines suggest an extrapolated 6000 acre (24.3 km2) 
seismic amplitude anomaly area at that drilling

target. The report on this drilling target noted 
previous 2D seismic data showed that the Permian 
aged section of the Bowen Basin has producing 
conventional gas fields at a similar time and depth 
to PEP11 at the Triassic/Permian age boundary.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA / NORTHERN 
TERRITORY – ONSHORE BONAPARTE 
BASIN

Advent Energy Ltd (“Advent”), through wholly owned 
subsidiary Onshore Energy Pty Ltd, holds 100% of 
each of EP 386 and RL 1 in the onshore Bonaparte 
Basin in northern Australia.  The Bonaparte Basin 
is a highly prospective petroliferous basin, with 
significant reserves of oil and gas. Most of the basin is 
located offshore, covering 250,000 square kilometres, 
compared to just over 20,000 square kilometres 
onshore.

Within EP386, recoverable resource estimates 
range from 53.3 Bcf (Low) to 1,326.3 Bcf (High) of 
Prospective Resources, with a Best Estimate of 355.9 
Bcf of gas.

In the NT, Advent holds Retention Licence RL1 (166 
square kilometres in area), which covers the Weaber 
Gas Field, originally discovered in 1985. 

Advent has previously advised that the 2C 
Contingent Resources* for the Weaber Gas Field in 
RL1 are 11.5 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas 
following an independent audit by RISC. Significant 
upside 3C Contingent Resources of 45.8 Bcf have 
also been assessed by RISC.

The current rapid development of the Kununurra 
region in northern Western Australia, including the 
Ord River Irrigation Area phase 2, the township of 
Kununurra, and numerous regional resource projects 
provides an exceptional opportunity for Advent to 
potentially develop its nearby gas resources. 

Market studies have identified a current market 
demand of up to 30.8 TJ per day of power 
generation capacity across the Kimberley region that 
could potentially be supplied by Advent Energy’s 
conventional gas projects in EP386 and RL1.

Unconventional Resources within EP 386 and RL1
The prospectivity of the Bonaparte Basin is evident 
from the known oil and gas fields in both the 
offshore and onshore portions of the basin. Advent’s 
onshore EP386 and RL1 contain many large 
structures with conventional reservoir gas discoveries.  

Advent has calculated a Prospective Resource (best 
estimate) of 9.8 TCF for the shale gas areas of the 
Bonaparte permits of EP386 and RL1.

To date, all of the existing EEG based depth of 
anaesthesia monitors operate in the context of a 
number of well documented limitations: (i) Inability 
to monitor the analgesic effects; and (ii) Not all 
hypnotic agents are reliably measured.
The above limitations highlight the inadequacies in 
current EEG based depth of anaesthesia monitors, 
particularly given surgical anaesthesia requires 
both hypnotic and analgesic agents (and muscle 
relaxants).  

CORTICAL DYNAMICS LIMITED 
(BPH Energy has a holding in Cortical of 4.56% 
with a right to increase to aprox. 14%)

BAR Technology 

“Calibrating anaesthetic monitoring to the 
individual rather than the average, results in 
better patient outcomes and is focused on saving 
time, money and lives” 

Cortical is an Australian based medical device 
technology company that has developed an industry 
disruptive brain function monitor independently 
described as “a paradigm busting technology from 
an Australian based device house that really gives a 
significant advantage in this space”. Its competitive 
advantage has been recognised by leading world 
experts in anaesthesia.  Cortical has received 
both TGA approval and the CE mark and has now 
commenced its sales campaign. 

The core product, the Brain Anaesthesia Response 
(BAR) monitor, was developed to better detect 
the effect of anaesthetic agents on brain activity, 
aiding anaesthetists in keeping patients optimally 
anaesthetised.  The product is focused on integrated 
distribution with the leading global brands in 
operation theatre monitoring equipment.

The approach used is fundamentally different from 
all other devices currently available in the market in 
that its underlying algorithm produces EEG indexes 
which are directly related to the physiological state 
of the patient’s brain.  Such monitoring is gaining 
significant use during surgery, however even with the 
use of EEG monitors, it is not uncommon for there 
to be a critical imbalance between the patient’s 
anaesthetic requirements and the anaesthetic drugs 
administered.  While a number of EEG monitors 
are commercially available, one that is reliably able 
to quantify the patient’s anaesthetic state is still 
desperately needed. 

The global brain monitoring market is predicted 
to grow to reach $1.6 billion by 2020.  Around 234 
million major surgical procedures are undertaken 
every year worldwide (Lancet 2008; 372)  The pain 
monitoring market is valued at over $3.0 billion. 

Initial marketing will focus on Total Intravenous 
Anaesthesia (TIVA), a method of inducing and 
maintaining general anaesthesia without the use 
of any inhalation agent. This is becoming more 
widely accepted, particularly in Western Europe.  
Approximately 29 million major general surgery 
general anaesthesias are conducted in the European 
Union each year, of which 55% are balanced 
anaesthesia (using a combination of intravenous 
agents such as propofol and volatile gases) and 20% 
are total intravenous anaesthesia using propofol.    
“The use of EEG-based depth of anaesthesia 
monitors has been recommended in patients 
receiving total intravenous anaesthesia because it 
is cost effective and because it is not possible to 
measure end-tidal anaesthetic concentration in this 
group”  (source: nice.org.uk)

This creates an immediate market opportunity to 
Cortical in Europe alone.
Cortical’s technology has a versatility that goes 
beyond depth of anaesthesia and may be applied to 
other EEG based markets, such as neuro-diagnostic, 
drug discovery, drug evaluation and the emerging 
Brain computer Interface (BCI) market.  There are 
considerable opportunities offered by subsequent 
expansion of the company’s core technology through 
developing the product to carry out additional 
functions including neuro-diagnostics of changes 
in brain and memory functions to provide early 
warning of degenerative diseases, pain response 
and tranquiliser monitoring for trauma patients in 
intensive care units. The BAR monitor is protected 
by five patent families in multiple jurisdictions 
worldwide consisting of 22 granted patents. Cortical 
will continue to drive the development of the BAR 
monitor, maintain its intellectual property and

concentrate on obtaining regulatory approval for the 
BAR monitor. 

Cortical has now commenced preparations for a 
sales program of the device in Europe, Australia, 
New Zealand and further development is also 
underway in Korea and Hong Kong.   A USA based 
distributorship is expected to follow. 

MOLECULAR DISCOVERY SYSTEMS
(BPH has a direct interest in MDS of 20%)

HLS5 Technology 

Molecular Discovery Systems (“MDSystems”) has 
been working with the Molecular Cancer Research 
Group at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical 
Research to validate HLS5 as a novel tumour 
suppressor gene, particularly for liver cancer.

The researchers at the Perkins Institute originally 
identified HLS5 (TRIM35) as a tumour suppressor 
associated with leukemia. However, in a separate 
study conducted in China, low levels of HLS5 

(TRIM35) was found to correlate with human liver 
cancer development, and that reduced HLS5 
(TRIM35) expression could potentially be used as 
prognostic marker for the disease. 

Research undertaken by the Perkins Institute 
team, and laboratories in China, has revealed that 
HLS5 (TRIM35) is capable of slowing the growth of 
tumour cells in culture, including suppression of 
liver cancer cells. 

Liver cancer ranks as the second leading cause of 
cancer-related deaths in developing countries. An 
estimated 782,500 new cases of liver cancer and 
745,500 deaths occurred worldwide in 2012, of 
which China alone accounted for almost 50% of 
cases. While survival rates for many cancers have 
improved over the past two decades, there has been 
no major improvement in liver cancer prognosis. 
Liver cancer also looms as one of Australia’s greatest 
cancer challenges, with new analyses predicting 
increased mortality from the disease in the future. At 
present, limited treatment options exist for patients 
with liver cancer.

INVESTMENT IN OIL AND GAS 
EXPLORATION COMPANY  

Advent Energy Ltd (BPH 24.0% direct)

Advent Energy Ltd (“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 EP386 and RL1 (100%) in the onshore 
Bonaparte Basin in the north of Western Australia 
and Northern Territory and PEP11 (85%) in the 
offshore Sydney Basin. 

The Sydney Basin is a proven petroleum basin 
with excellent potential for the discovery of gas. 
Advent has demonstrated an active hydrocarbon 
system with seeps reported in the offshore area and 
sampling has indicated the presence of thermogenic 
hydrocarbon gas. This 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 gross prospective recoverable gas 
resources for structural targets within the PEP11 
offshore permit have been estimated at 5.7 Tcf (at 
the Best Estimate level). A Low Estimate of 0.3 Tcf 
and High Estimate of 67.8 Tcf has been assessed by 
Pangean Resources in 2010. PEP 11 lies adjacent 
to the most populous region of Australia and the 
major industrial hub and port of Newcastle. A high 
resolution 2D seismic survey has been conducted 
to assist in the drilling of the Baleen target 
approximately 30 km south of Newcastle.  
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 (Best Estimate) 
prospective recoverable resource of 9.8 Tcf (Low 

Estimate is 1.9 Tcf and High Estimate is 25.4 Tcf).
A 2C Contingent Resource of 11.5 Bcf (1C is 0.3 Bcf 
and 3C is 45.8 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 
development of the Kununurra region in northern 
Western Australia, including the Ord Irrigation 
Expansion Project and numerous resource projects, 
provides an l opportunity for Advent to potentially 
develop its nearby gas resources for the benefit of 
the region along with Advent and its shareholders.

ASX listed MEC Resources Limited (“MEC”) has a 50% 
interest in Advent Energy Ltd.

The 2018 MEC half year financial report to 
31 December 2017 released on 27 Feb 2018, 
confirmed that the MEC subsidiary Advent Energy 
had (spending) “commitments” “for its exploration 
permits of $4,497,500 over the next 12 months” to 
maintain tenure. In the 2017 MEC Annual Report an 
amount was confirmed of $2.5m of required permit 
compliance expenditures to retain EP386.

On 21 July 2017 MEC announced the withdrawal of its 
statutory demand against BPH prior to a settlement 
conference between MEC, BPH and GBA to seek a 
global resolution of the respective legal disputes. 

On 1 September 2017 BPH received a writ from 
MEC Resources Ltd for an amount of $270,000 plus 
interest and costs and then received on 2 October 
2017 an application for summary judgement in 
relation to this claim.  The application by MEC for 
summary judgement was heard in December 
2017 in the District Court of Western Australia. 
The summary judgement application decision in 
the claim by MEC Resources Ltd for $270,000 plus 
interest and costs was handed down on 23 February 
2018. The MEC application was dismissed by the 
court. BPH disputes the basis of the claim by MEC 
and its interest claims, and BPH asserts that there 
has not been an Event of Default and that the loan 
is not due and owing. BPH had previously advised 
the market on 4 July 2017 that it has a claim against 
MEC of $388,050 plus interest and costs and has 
advised it will continue to pursue this matter.
On 12 October 2017 MEC announced the 
appointment of a specialist firm to assist in finding 
joint venture partners for 3D seismic for PEP11.

Australia in this matter was lodged on 6 June 2018.
The information in this section contains material 
extracted from MEC Resources Limited, the major 
shareholder in Advent.
PEP 11
(i) 
PEP11, offshore Sydney Basin adjacent to Newcastle-
Sydney offshore New South Wales, is held 85% and 
operated by Asset Energy Pty Ltd (“Asset”), a wholly 
owned subsidiary of Advent.

PEP11 holds significant structural targets potentially 
capable of comprising multi-Tcf natural gas 
resources. The offshore Sydney Basin has been 
lightly explored to date, including a multi-vintage 
2D seismic data coverage and a single exploration 
well, New Seaclem-1 (2010). Its position as the 
only petroleum title offshore New South Wales 
provides a significant opportunity should natural 
gas be discovered in commercial quantities in 
this petroleum title. It lies adjacent to the Sydney-
Newcastle region and the existing natural gas 
network servicing the east coast gas market. 
On 24 November 2017 the Advent AGM presentation 
‘Strategic Summary: Tactics to Success ‘confirmed 
the strategy of “Complete current 2D seismic 
commitment to deliver shallow hazard survey work 
…to deliver ‘drill ready’ gas prospect and actively 
pursue farm-out for early drilling, capturing near-
term rig availability off Australia’s coast.” 

On 10 January 2018 MEC announced the 
acceptance by NOPSEMA of the Baleen 2D High 
Resolution Seismic Plan. This approval process took 
approximately 7 months for a seismic program with 
a primary survey area of just 9 square km.

The proposed PEP11 3D seismic program is for 
an area of 500 sq km (Refer 8th Jan 2018). The 
anticipated operational area for a seismic survey of 
500 sq km is 2500 sq km. The whale migration period 
offshore NSW is between May to November which will 
exclude seismic operations during this time.  

evaluate (amongst other things) shallow geohazard 
indications including shallow gas accumulations that 
can affect future potential drilling operations. On the 
19 April 2018 it was announced that processing of 
this 2D data would take approximately 2 months. 
No announcement about the processing has been 
made to date.

It is a drilling prerequisite that a site survey is made 
prior to drilling at the Baleen location.

EP386 and RL1

(ii) 
EP386 and RL1 are held by Advent’s 100% subsidiary 
Onshore Energy Pty Ltd (“Onshore”). The petroleum 
titles lie in the onshore Bonaparte Basin, one of 
Australia’s most prolific hydrocarbon producing 
basins. The petroleum wells Waggon Creek-1, 
Vienta-1 (EP386) and Weaber-4 (RL1) are cased and 
suspended.

On 29 March 2018 an Instrument of Direction was 
issued by the WA Department of Mines under S.95(1) 
of the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy resources 
Act 1967 to Onshore. The Instrument of Direction 
is available on the WA Govt. website and relates to 
Waggon Creek and Vienta wells in EP386 in the 
onshore Bonaparte Basin in WA. The Instrument of 
Direction to plug and abandon the wells must be 
completed by March 2020. The wet season means 
this work must be completed during mid-year 2019.

On 3 April 2018 MEC announced a two-year 
extension to the EP386 permit to enable this work to 
be completed.

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 patient’s 
electroencephalograph (“EEG”) using a proprietary 
algorithm based on a mathematically and 
physiologically detailed understanding of the brain’s 
rhythmic electrical activity.

Cortical has achieved a major milestone in the 
commercialisation of its Brain Anaesthesia Response 
Monitor (“BAR”). Cortical received notification from 
the Therapeutic Goods Administration (“TGA”) that a 
decision was made to issue a conformity assessment 
certificate to Cortical under section 41EC of the 
Therapeutic Goods Act 1989. In addition to this 
Cortical also received notification that to it would 
be issued MRA EC certificates (“CE Mark”) under the 
Mutual Recognition Agreement (“MRA”) with the 
European Union therefore allowing the CE mark to 
be applied to the BAR monitor. Having achieved 
TGA certification and the CE Mark, Cortical is now 
able to market the BAR monitor within Australia and 
Europe. 

In November 2016 Cortical was announced as the 
winner of the Australian Technologies Competition 
(“ATC”) Advanced Manufacturing category, runner 
up in the Australian Technology Company of the 
Year, and runner up in the Med Tech and Pharma 
category. ATC has established itself as Australia’s 
premier technology accelerator. 

Over 130 of Australia’s best technology companies 
were considered for these awards. Australian and 
international government partners of the ATC 
include the Australian Department of Industry, 
Innovation and Science, Hong Kong Trade & 
Development Council and UK Trade & Investment.

Cortical was also invited by Austrade to attend 
and present at the Austrade Med Tech Innovation 
Showcase 2016 held in Korea in September 2016. 
The showcase was for Australia’s key industry experts 
and innovative Med Tech companies with senior 
executives from leading Korean pharma and medical 
device companies.

Cortical Chairman, Mr David Breeze, presented 
Cortical’s Brain Function Monitor and met with 
four of the leading Korean teaching and research 
hospitals, all of whom expressed interest in using the 
technology when it became available in Korea. 
Having achieved Therapeutic Goods Administration 
(“TGA”) certification and the CE Mark, Cortical is now 
able to market the BAR monitor within Australia 
and Europe, one of the worlds’ largest EEG brain 
function monitoring equipment markets. Cortical 
has signed an initial agreement in Australia and is 
now negotiating its first distribution agreement for 
Europe and is receiving distribution enquiries from 
other international centres.

The BAR monitor is designed to assist anaesthetists 
and intensive care staff in ensuring patients do 
not wake unexpectedly, as well as reducing the 
incidence of side effects associated with the 
anaesthetic. 
During the reporting period Cortical issued 2,240,000 
fully paid ordinary at an issue price of $0.10 per share 
to fund its ongoing activities.

BPH investee Cortical announced a number of 
developments during the period which included: -  

•  On 18 October 2017 BPH confirmed a European 

trial with Hôpital Foch in Paris, France. The 
arrangement with Hôpital Foch was the second 
installation of the BAR Monitor technology 
internationally (after New Zealand) and the first for 
Cortical in Europe. 

•  On 14 November 2017 BPH advised of the 

appointment of Reno Wright Smith & Partners 
(“RWS”) to undertake marketing activities to 
assist Cortical to enter the European market 
with the Brain Anaesthesia Response (“BAR”) 
monitor technology. RWS, based in Chicago, 
Illinois, are specialists in commercialisation 
for early stage medical technologies. The RWS 
President, David Smith, has a background in 
medical device marketing & general management 
for 25+ years including with Coopervision, Carl 
Zeiss, Biocompatibles International plc, Cohesion 
Technologies, Tenaxis Medical Inc & Device 
Technologies Australia

•  On 20 November 2017 BPH advised of the 

Molecular Discover Systems Ltd (BPH 20%)

appointment of Dr Bruce Whan as Corporate 
Development Director to assist to further the 
development of Cortical. Bruce Whan has a 
background in industry covering a range of 
research, operations and management positions, 
including the management of innovation and 
commercialisation of R&D, from the public 
research sector. He was Director of Swinburne 
University of Technology’s commercialisation 
unit for 12 years and a member of the 
Commercialisation Australia board. 

•  On 13 December 2017 BPH confirmed the 

European Patent Office had granted a further 
patent titled, ‘EEG Analysis System’.  

•  On 14 December 2017 BPH advised that the 

Cortical BAR Monitor was being used in evaluation 
trials in a further major hospital in Melbourne. 
This is the second installation of the BAR Monitor 
technology in Melbourne, with further units being 
evaluated in Queensland, and internationally in 
New Zealand and Europe. 

•  On 22 December 2017 BPH advised that investee 
Cortical was to be further evaluated in a Sydney 
hospital in 2018. These trials introduce the BAR 
Monitor to several anaesthetists to assess its 
function, which in turns assists Cortical to better 
understand how best to address the needs of the 
market, underpinning its marketing campaign. 

•  On 16 January 2018 BPH advised that the Cortical 
BAR Monitor was being used in a set of evaluation 
trials in a further Melbourne hospital.

•  On 19 April BPH advised that Cortical had 

signed an agreement for the distribution of its 
BAR Monitor in South Korea. The distribution 
agreement arose because of an invitation by 
Austrade to attend and present at the Austrade 
Korean Medtech Innovation Showcase. 

•  On 29 April BPH advised that Cortical had signed 
its first European Distribution agreement covering 
the BARM for the Benelux Countries of Belgium, 
Netherlands and Luxembourg. Cortical will initially 
focus on the Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (“TIVA”) 
market within Europe. TIVA provides a method 
of inducing and maintaining general anaesthesia 
intravenously without the use of any inhalation 
agents.

Molecular Discover Systems Ltd (“MDSystems”) has 
been working with the Molecular Cancer Research 
Group at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical 
Research to validate HLS5 as a novel tumour 
suppressor gene, particularly for liver cancer.
The researchers at the Perkins Institute originally 
identified HLS5 (TRIM35) as a tumour suppressor 
associated with leukemia. However, in a separate 
study conducted in China, low levels of HLS5 
(TRIM35) was found to correlate with human liver 
cancer development, and that reduced HLS5 
(TRIM35) expression could potentially be used as 
prognostic marker for the disease. 

In a significant further phase of this research the 
Perkins Institute researchers have developed 
a pre-clinical model of liver cancer and have 
demonstrated, in this model that removing the 
expression of HLS5 (TRIM35) can accelerate the 
development of liver disease.

Research undertaken by the Perkins Institute team, 
and laboratories in China, has revealed that HLS5 
(TRIM35) is capable of slowing the growth of tumour 
cells in culture, including suppression of liver cancer 
cells. 

Liver cancer ranks as the second leading cause of 
cancer-related deaths in developing countries. An 
estimated 782,500 new cases of liver cancer and 
745,500 deaths occurred worldwide in 2012, of 
which China alone accounted for almost 50% of 
cases. While survival rates for many cancers have 
improved over the past two decades, there has been 
no major improvement in liver cancer prognosis. 

Liver cancer also looms as one of Australia’s greatest 
cancer challenges, with new analyses predicting 
increased mortality from the disease in the future. At 
present, limited treatment options exist for patients 
with liver cancer.

It is anticipated that the work of the Perkins Institute 
researchers will be prepared for publication. The 
development of this pre-clinical model may enable 
MDS to pursue research and partnering relationships 
with a significant new range of collaborators and 
investors.

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 2017 financial accounts 
was not adopted at the Company’s 2017 Annual 
General Meeting. Should at least 25% of the 
votes be cast against the resolution to adopt this 
remuneration report at the Company’s November 
2018 Annual General Meeting a “Spill Resolution” 
will be held at that Annual General Meeting. If put, 
the Spill Resolution will be considered as an ordinary 
resolution. If the Spill Resolution is passed then it 
will be necessary for the Board to convene a further 
general meeting of Shareholders (Spill Meeting) 
within 90 days of this Annual General Meeting in

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive 
directors at market rates for comparable companies 
for time, commitment and responsibilities. The 
maximum pool of non-executive director fees 
approved by shareholders is $250,000. 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 Company. 
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 Directors  
and Senior Executives
The employment conditions of the Managing 
Director, David Breeze, is formalised in a Product 
Development Agreement. The engagement is 
automatically extended for a period of 2 years 
at each anniversary date unless the Managing 
Director or the Company give notice of termination 
prior to the expiry of each term. The agreement 
stipulates the Managing Director may terminate the 
engagement with a six-month notice period. The 
company may terminate the agreement 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 up to twelve 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.

order to consider the composition of the Board. 
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 Company, 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 Company 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 Company’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 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 9.50%, 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 an appropriate 
valuation methodology.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2018
BPH ENERGY LIMITED AND IT’S CONTROLLED ENTITIES

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Corporate Information 

The financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and the notes of BPH Energy Limited and its 
controlled entities (‘consolidated entity’ 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 28 September 2018 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 other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board 
(“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001. BPH Energy Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the 
financial statements.

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.

Financial Position 

The consolidated entity has reported a net loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2018 of $1,506,758 (2017: 
loss of $2,544,301) and has a net cash outflow from operating activities of $488,222 (2017: outflow of $517,680). 
The net assets of the consolidated entity decreased by $824,514 to $3,561,815 at 30 June 2018. The consolidated 
entity has a working capital deficit of $1,101,201 as at 30 June 2018 (30 June 2017: deficit of $1,084,626) which 
includes cash assets of $447,214 (30 June 2017: $613,658) and trade creditors and other payables of $1,323,541 
(30 June 2017: $1,284,910). 

Included in trade creditors and payables is director fee accruals of $765,027. The directors have reviewed their 
expenditure and commitments for the consolidated entity and have implemented methods of costs reduction. 
The directors as a part of their cash monitoring, have voluntarily suspended cash payments for their directors’ 
fees to conserve cash resources.  

The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts, including potential capital raisings, which indicate that the 
consolidated entity should have sufficient cash flows for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this 
report. Based on the cash flow forecasts including directors voluntarily suspending cash payments for their 
director fees 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2018
BPH ENERGY LIMITED AND IT’S CONTROLLED ENTITIES

The consolidated entity is involved in a legal dispute with MEC Resources Ltd. Should the consolidated entity 
not be successful in raising additional funds through the issue of new equity, should the need arise, or should 
there be an unfavourable outcome in the legal dispute with MEC Resources Ltd, there is a material uncertainty 
that may cast significant doubt as to whether or not the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going 
concern and therefore, whether it will realise its assets and discharge its liabilities as and when they fall due and 
in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relative to the recoverability and classification of 
recorded asset amounts or, to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the 
entity not continue as a going concern.

Compliance with IFRS 

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

controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement 
with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the 
entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. 
They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 18 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. The acquisition method of accounting is used to 
account for business combinations by the Group.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies 
are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an 
impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where 
necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the 
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in 
equity and statement of financial position respectively.

BPH Energy  I  Annual Report 2018

(ii) Changes in ownership interests

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.

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 profit or loss and other 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.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets 
and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and 
tax liabilities are offset where the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle 
on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

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 Company will 
derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of 
deductibility imposed by the law.

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 Company includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing 
costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

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 statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income 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 
Plant and equipment 

Depreciation Rate
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 statement of profit or loss. 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 Company 
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.

2828

BPH Energy  I  Annual Report 2018
BPH Energy  I  Annual Report 2018

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 Company 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 
profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for cash flow 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 (“AFS”) 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BPH ENERGY LIMITED AND IT’S CONTROLLED ENTITIES

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 valuation models using non-market inputs prepared by independent 
experts. 

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 statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

Assets carried at amortised cost
For loans and receivables, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying 
amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been 
incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is 
reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has 
a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate 
determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an 
instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related 
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s 
credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Assets classified as available-for-sale
If there is objective evidence of impairment for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured 
as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that 
financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment losses on equity instruments that were recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or 
loss in a subsequent period.

If the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases in a subsequent period and the 
increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or 
loss, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.

(e) 

Impairment of Assets

The Group reviews non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date 
to determine whether there is any indication of impairment.  If any such indication exists, then the asset’s 
recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill, and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are 
not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value 
less costs to sell.  In 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 

3030

BPH Energy  I  Annual Report 2018
BPH Energy  I  Annual Report 2018

risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are 
Grouped together into the smallest Group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are 
largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or Groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit” or “CGU”). 
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable 
amount.  Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.  Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs 
are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units, and then to reduce the 
carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit (Group of units) on a pro rata basis. 

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.  In respect of other assets, impairment losses 
recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or 
no longer exists.  An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine 
the recoverable amount.  An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does 
not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no 
impairment loss had been recognised.

(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.
The consolidated entity discontinues the use of the equity method from the date when the investment ceases to 
be an associate or a joint venture, or when the investment is classified as held for sale. When the a consolidated 
entity retains an interest in the former associate or joint venture and the retained interest is a financial asset, the 
consolidated entity measures the retained interest at fair value at that date and the fair value is regarded as its 
fair value on initial recognition in accordance with AASB 139. The difference between the carrying amount of 
the associate or joint venture at the date the equity method was discontinued, and the fair value of any retained 
interest and any proceeds from disposing of a part interest in the associate or joint venture is included in the 
determination of the gains or loss on disposal of the associate or joint venture. In addition, the consolidated

entity accounts for all amounts previously recognised other comprehensive income in relation to that associate 
or joint venture on the same basis as would be required if that associate or joint venture had directly disposed 
of the related assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income by that 
associate or joint venture would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, 
the consolidated entity reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) 
when the equity method is discontinued.

(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 using the corporate bond rate.

 (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”).

3232

BPH Energy  I  Annual Report 2018
BPH Energy  I  Annual Report 2018

(l) 

Goods and Services Tax 

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 recognised 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 45 days.  

 (n) 

Share based payments

The fair value of options granted under the Company’s Employee Option Plan is recognised 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 an appropriate 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 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) 

Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief 
operating decision maker, the directors (see Note 26).

Earnings per share

 (p) 
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.

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 loan receivables 

Included in the accounts of the consolidated entity are secured and unsecured loan receivables of $2,295,029 
(2017: $2,071,467). The Company raised a provision against its unsecured loans of $77,155 in the reporting 
period (2017: $551,167). This provision can be reversed upon payment of the loans. 

Key judgements — Investment in Advent Energy Ltd (“Advent”)

As of 1 January 2017 a judgement was made that, despite owning 27% of Advent, the Company no longer 
exercised significant influence over Advent and it ceased to be treated as an associate entity from that date. In 
particular, the Company was not involved in the operational decision making of Advent and did not have access 
to its operational and financial records. The Company currently has a 24% direct interest in Advent.

An impairment charge of $1,003,001 has been recognised against this investment in respect of the current 
reporting period based on Advent’s most recent capital raising at $0.05 per share. The discontinuation of equity 
accounting for this associate triggered a re-assessment of the fair value of the investment in Advent resulting in 
an impairment charge of $1,308,563 in the prior year. 

Key estimates - Investment in Molecular Discovery Systems

The recoverable amount of the investment in Molecular Discovery Systems Limited is considered greater than 
the carrying amount of the investment and hence no impairment loss was recognised, refer to Note 12. 

Key estimates - Investment in Cortical 

The recoverable amount of the investment in Cortical was considered greater than the carrying amount of the 
investment and hence no impairment loss was recognised, refer to Note 10.

Application of New and Revised Accounting Standards 

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 30 June 2018 

In the year ended 30 June 2018, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the current annual 
reporting period.  As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the 
new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company and, therefore, no material change is necessary 
to Group accounting policies. 

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been publishes that are not mandatory for 30 June 
2018 reporting periods. Those which may have a significant to the Group are set out below. The Group does not 
plan to adopt these standards early.
AASB 9: Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable to annual reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2018).   
AASB 9 (2014), published in December 2014, replaces the existing guidance AASB 9 (2009), AASB 9 (2010) and 
AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and is effective for annual reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted.

The new standard results in changes to accounting policies for financial assets and liabilities covering 
classification and measurement, hedge accounting and impairment. The standard eliminates the existing 
139 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. The Group has financial assets 
in relation to available-for-sale equity investments of $2,154,949. Under AASB 9, the Group is able to elect to 
continue classify these investments as at fair value through other comprehensive income. Accordingly, the Group 
does not expect any impact to the classification and measurement of these financial assets. However, gains or 
losses realised on the sale of the financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income will no longer 
be transferred to profit or loss but instead be reclassified below the line from the fair value reserve to retained 
earnings.  During the current financial year such gains of $Nil were recognised in profit or loss in relation to the 
disposal of available-for-sale financial assets.   

The impairment requirements of the new standard for financial assets are based on a forward looking 
‘expected credit loss’ (ECL) model either on a 12-month or lifetime basis rather than the current ‘incurred loss’ 
model. The new impairment model will apply to financial assets at amortised cost or fair value through other 
comprehensive income, except for investments in equity instruments, and to contract assets. The Group has 
assessed these changes and determined that based on the current financial assets held at reporting date, the 
Group will apply the simplified approach and record impairment based on lifetime expected losses. 

The changes in the Group’s accounting policies from the adoption of AASB 9 will be applied retrospectively from 
1 July 2018 onwards, with the practical expedients permitted under the standard and the comparatives will not 
be restated. 

The directors do not anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 will have a material impact on the Group’s financial 
instruments.  

AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 
1 July 2018, as deferred by AASB 2015-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective Date of 
AASB 15).

HEALTH  TECHNOLOGY  RESOURCES 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2018
BPH ENERGY LIMITED AND IT’S CONTROLLED ENTITIES

AASB 15 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from 
contracts with customers.    When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements 
applicable to revenue with a single, principles-based model. Apart from a limited number of exceptions, 
including leases, the new revenue model in AASB 15 will apply to all contracts with customers as well as non-
monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers and potential 
customers.   The core principle of the Standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer 
of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity 
expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve this objective, AASB 15 provides the 
following five-step process: 
•  identify the contract(s) with a customer;   
•  identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); 
•  determine the transaction price;   
•  allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and   
•  recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied.  
Based on a preliminary assessment performed, the effects of AASB 15 are not expected to have a material effect 
on the Group.  

AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2019).   
When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB 117: 
Leases and related Interpretations. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that eliminates the 
requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases.   The main changes introduced by the new 
Standard are as follows: 

•  recognition of a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases (excluding short-term leases with a lease term 

12 months or less of tenure and leases relating to low-value assets);   

•  depreciation of right-of-use assets in line with AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment in profit or loss and 

unwinding of the liability in principal and interest components;   

•  inclusion of variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate in the initial measurement of the lease 

liability using the index or rate at the commencement date;  

•  application of a practical expedient to permit a lessee to elect not to separate non-lease components and 

instead account for all components as a lease; and   

•  inclusion of additional disclosure requirements.   

The transitional provisions of AASB 16 allow a lessee to either retrospectively apply the Standard to comparatives 
in line with AASB 108 or recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application as an adjustment to 
opening equity on the date of initial application.   The directors do not anticipate that the adoption of AASB 16 
will have a material effect on the Group.

No other new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are expected to affect the Group’s 
consolidated financial statements.

The Company has two convertible loan agreements with Cortical. One loan is for a maximum amount 
of $500,000 at an interest rate of 8.16% per annum and is to be used for short term working capital 
requirements. Subject to Cortical being admitted to the Official List BPH Energy has a right of conversion to 
satisfy the debt on or before the termination date, being 19 November 2019. As at reporting date the loan 
had been drawn down by an amount of $639,751, including capitalised interest (2017: $584,411). Interest 
charged on the loan for the period was $55,340 (2017: $50,850).

On 28th February 2012 BPH Energy entered into a second convertible loan agreement with Cortical. The 
facility is for an amount of $1,000,000 at an interest rate of 9.4% per annum and has an annual interest

amount of $1,450,707, including capitalised interest (2017: $1,322,078). Interest charged on the loan for the

estimated research and development grant tax refund for the year ended 30 June 2018.

(b)  As of 1 January 2017 a judgement was made that, despite owning 27% of Advent, the Company no longer 

exercised significant influence over Advent and it ceased to be treated as an associate entity from that date. 
In particular, the Company was not involved in the operational decision making of Advent and did not have 
access to its operational and financial records. The Company currently has a 24% direct interest in Advent. 
The discontinuation of equity accounting for this associate triggered a re-assessment of the fair value of the 
investment in Advent resulting in an impairment charge of $1,308,563 in the prior year. An impairment 
charge of $1,003,001 has been recognised against this investment in respect of the current reporting 
period based on Advent’s most recent capital raising at $0.05 per share (refer Note 21(c)).

Advent and its subsidiaries have reported no minimum work commitments for its exploration permits over 
the next 12 months from its reporting date under the terms of its petroleum titles in order to maintain 
tenure. It has reported work program commitments of $18,225,000 for its exploration permits in a period 
greater than one year and less than five years. To assist in meeting these commitments, both MEC and 
Advent have stated they are continually seeking and reviewing potential sources of both equity and debt 
funding. Advent has stated it is now embarking on a campaign to attract new investors and /or joint 
venture partners. Its management has confidence that a suitable outcome will be achieved however there 
is no certainty at that this  will result in further funding being made available.

In relation to the Group’s exploration commitments in the PEP 11 area Advent’s wholly owned subsidiary, 
Asset Energy Pty Ltd has a commitment to drill an exploration well by 12 Feb 2020. Advent have reported a 
conditional farm-in agreement with RL Energy for 3D which requires a change in the permit commitment 
and which is subject to both funding and regulatory approval by the National Offshore Petroleum Titles 
Administrator (“NOPTA”).

On 29 March 2018 an Instrument of Direction was issued by the WA Department of Mines under S.95 (1) 
of the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy resources Act 1967 to Onshore. The Instrument of Direction is 
available on the WA Govt. website and relates to Waggon Creek and Vienta wells in EP386 in the onshore 
Bonaparte Basin in WA. The Instrument of Direction to plug and abandon the wells must be completed by 
March 2020. Advent has commitments to provide a well management plan, environmental plan and safety 
case for the decommissioning of Waggon Creek and Vienta by 28 September 2018. 

The RL Energy application in PEP11 and those made by Advent for EP386 may not be approved. In addition, 
Advent is committed to drill an exploration well and perform a seismic survey by the end of March 2020 for 
EP 386. Asset Energy Pty Ltd has invested over $25 million in the PEP11 title in recent history, and, along with 
its JV partner Bounty Oil and Gas NL, is committed to continuing to explore for and ultimately exploit any

Advent to raise funds. The above conditions indicate the uncertainty that may affect the ability of the Group 
to realise the carrying value of its investment in Advent in the ordinary course of business. The valuation is 
dependent on approvals for variations and extension to work programs being approved by government.

Valuation processes

The directors informally assess the fair value of its investments annually. A formal assessment is performed as 
necessary by obtaining an external independent valuation report. 

The fair value of the Group’s investment in MDS is supported by a capital raising completed in MDS in January 
2016 at $0.02 per share, together with on-going operational activities of that entity.

 20. Subsequent Events 

There are no matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year other than disclosed 
elsewhere in this report 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.

21. Financial Risk Management

a) Financial Risk Management

The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, 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.

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 financial assets. The Group’s financial 
liabilities are currently not exposed to interest rate risk as the Group has no interest bearing financial liabilities. 

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. 

Equity price risk 

The Group is exposed to equity price risk through its shareholdings in publicly listed entities. Material 
investments are managed on an individual basis.

Foreign currency risk

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

b) Financial Instruments

Interest rate risk

The Group’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 with floating rates, based on contractual maturities, is as follows:

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 

valuation techniques incorporating non-market data prepared by independent valuers.

No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form.

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

Change in loss

Increase in interest rate 1%

Decrease in interest rate by 0.5%

Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and 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.

(c) Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position

The following table provides an analysis of consolidated financial instruments that are measured subsequent to 
initial recognition at fair value, grouped into levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.
•  Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for 

identical assets or liabilities.

•  Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 
1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
•  Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset 

or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

There were no transfers between the levels for recurring fair value measurements during the year.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
•  For unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market, the fair value has been based on 

valuation techniques incorporating non-market data prepared by independent valuers.

Independent Auditor’s Report  
To the Members of BPH Energy Limited 

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT 

Opinion  

We have audited the financial report of BPH Energy Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities 
(“the consolidated entity”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at  30 
June 2018, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income, the consolidated 
statement of changes in equity and the 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 consolidated entity is in accordance with the 
Corporations Act 2001, including:  

a)  giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of 

its financial performance for the year then ended; and  

b)  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  consolidated  entity  in  accordance  with  the 
auditor independence requirements of 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.  

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern 

We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that a material uncertainty exists 
that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is 
not modified in respect of this matter. 

Material Uncertainty Related to Carrying Value of Investment in Advent Energy Limited 

We also draw attention to Note 10 in the financial report which indicates a material uncertainty in relation 
to the consolidated entity’s ability to realise the carrying value of its investment in Advent Energy Limited 
in the ordinary course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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.  In  addition  to  the  matter  described  in  the  Material  Uncertainty 
Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit 
matters to be communicated in our report.  

Key Audit Matter 

How  our  audit  addressed  the  key  audit 
matter 

Valuation of financial assets

receivables  with  a 

The  consolidated  entity  had  financial  assets  of 
loan 
value 
$2,295,029. The consolidated entity had financial 
assets of available for sale financial assets at fair 
value  of  $2,154,949  at  balance  date.  The 
consolidated  entity  recorded  an 
impairment 
expense  of  $1,003,001  on  its  investment  in 
Advent Energy Limited that is accounted for as an 
available for sale financial asset at fair value. 

We considered this to be a key audit matter as it is 
important to users’ understanding of the financial 
statements as a whole and involves judgement in 
relation to the determination of fair value. 

Our  procedures  included  but  were  not  limited  to

we obtained and assessed other relevant 
valuation data. 

-  We  assessed  the  appropriateness  of  the 
disclosures included in the relevant notes 
to the financial report. 

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information 
included in the consolidated entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include 
the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.  

Our  opinion  on  the  financial  report  does  not  cover  the  other  information  and  accordingly  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 this 
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors 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  ability  of  the 
consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s Responsibilities 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 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 the basis of this financial report.  

As  part  of  an  audit  in  accordance  with  the  Australian  Auditing  Standards,  we  exercise  professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud 
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence 
that  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  opinion.  The  risk  of  not  detecting  a 
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may 
involve  collusion,  forgery,  intentional  omissions,  misrepresentations,  or  the  override  of  internal 
control.  

  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures 
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the 
effectiveness of the Consolidated entity’s internal control.  

  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  

  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting 
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events 
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the  consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a 
going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention 
in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are 
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up 
to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the consolidated 
entity to cease to continue as a going concern.  

  Evaluate  the  overall  presentation,  structure  and  content  of  the  financial  report,  including  the 
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in 
a manner that achieves fair presentation.  

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of 
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we 
identify during our audit.  

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.

From  the  matters  communicated  with  the  directors,  we  determine  those  matters  that  were  of  most 
significance  in  the  audit  of  the  financial  report  of  the  current  period  and  are  therefore  the  key  audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law  or  regulation  precludes public 
disclosure  about  the  matter  or  when,  in  extremely  rare  circumstances,  we  determine  that  a  matter 
should  not  be  communicated  in  our  report  because  the  adverse  consequences  of  doing  so  would 
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication
