Modelling of the detailed magnetotelluric (MT) survey  results over the Horse Well  area completed  with final 
3D views delineating the broader “feeder” zone. 

Infill  magnetotelluric  (MT)  survey  completed  over  the  Horse  Well  area  confirmed  presence  of  “conductive 
zone” in the depth range from about 600 – 900 m. 

Detailed review of the 1D inversion results from the magnetotelluric (MT) survey at Horse Well completed to 
produce a 3D inversion model for enhanced target definition prior to deep drilling.  

Exploration Program for Environment Protection and Rehabilitation (PEPR) and Heritage Survey successfully 
completed for final approval of the drilling program at Horse Well and Pernatty C. 

Extensive soil geochemistry survey (>450 samples) completed over the southern part of the Pernatty C area 
to further investigate potential for “Mt Gunson style” mineralisation. 

Assays from Pernatty C soil survey returned multiple anomalous results for copper, lead, zinc, and cobalt. 

Resistivity  and  Induced  Polarisation  (IP)  survey  completed  over  the  southern  part  of  the  Pernatty  C  area 
showed  significant  structural  control  and  potential  for  “Mt  Gunson”  /  “Zambian  Copper  Belt”  style 
mineralisation. 

Mining Proposal and Mine Closure Plan for the Pyramid Lake (WA) gypsum project continued to advance with 
completion of Flora, Fauna and Invertebrate studies, site survey and block modelling. 

All  tenements  within  the  Horse  Well,  Pernatty  C  (Mt  Gunson)  and  Lake  Torrens  areas  maintained  in  good 
standing. 

All  tenements  in  Queensland  (Wee  MacGregor,  Mt  Gordon,  Success  and  Mt  Cobalt)  maintained  in  good 
standing and included a partial relinquishment (14 sub-blocks) of ground at Mt Cobalt. 

Cohiba  Minerals  achieved  milestone  target  in  gaining  51%  of  Olympic  Domain  tenements  under  Farm-In 
Agreement. 

South Australian (Olympic Domain) Tenements 

“Horse Well” Area 
During the  September quarter the Company completed modelling  of the detailed magnetotelluric (MT) survey results over 
the Horse Well area and generated 3-Dimensional images which further delineated the broader “feeder” zone (Figures 1 and 
2).  

In the December quarter the Company engaged Zonge to conduct an infill magnetotelluric (MT) survey within the Horse Well 
area to provide further target delineation over some key areas (Figure 3). The results from the infill magnetotelluric survey 
(Figure 3) further reinforced the previous survey results indicating the presence of a “conductive zone” in the 600  – 900 m 
range, which may reflect the presence of sulphides within an IOCG environment. 

The Company compiled  all of the MT results and the 3D inversion modelling of  the MT data confirmed the presence  of a 
NW-SE trending feature coincident with the previously interpreted “feeder” zone which is associated with Iron Oxide-Copper-
Gold (IOCG) systems. 
A persistent low resistivity feature from approximately 400 metres below the surface, within this NW-SE trending zone, and 
offset from significant gravity and magnetic anomalies provided further drill-ready targets. 

The resistivity maps (plans) in Figures 4 – 7, from 400 m to 750 m below the surface depict the top of the “feeder” zone well 
and  showed  strong  correlation  to  the  previous  MT  survey  work  (Figure  8).  Resistivity  data  collected  with  audio 
magnetotelluric (MT) surveys showed itself to be a potential vector (pointer) to IOCG mineralisation. 

Resistivity profiles (cross-sections) were generated across the upper part of the “feeder” zone area and showed a persistent 
low  resistivity  (high  conductivity)  zone  from  approximately  400  m  below  the  surface  (Figures  9  -  12).  The  3D  inversion 
modelling confirmed the location of the four proposed drill holes at Horse Well, which were selected to test the coincident 
gravity, magnetic and magnetotelluric anomalies.

The  Company  designed  an  exploration  program  to  target  potential  IOCG  mineralisation  associated  with  these  “feeder” 
zones (identified from the MT survey). The exploration drilling program within the Horse Well area comprised four drill holes 
(Figure 13) which were selected to test the coincident gravity, magnetic and magnetotelluric (MT) anomalies. 

In  addition  to  the  Horse  Well  drill  holes  an  additional  two  drill  holes  were  planned  for  the  Pernatty  area  (Figure  14)  to 
investigate coincident geochemical and magnetic anomalies for sediment-hosted base metals (i.e. Mt Gunson style/Zambian 
Copper Belt style mineralisation).

Pernatty “C” Area 
During the March 2020 quarter the Company engaged the services of Fireant Resources Pty Ltd to undertake a Resistivity 
and  Induced  Polarisation  (IP)  survey  over  the  southern  part  of  the  Pernatty  “C”  (EL5970)  area  to  further  investigate  the 
potential for “Mt Gunson style” mineralisation. Fireant Resources also conducted soil and rock chip geochemical sampling at 
the same time to streamline activities and control costs. 

Multiple resistivity and IP traverses were completed over the southern part of Pernatty “C” during February and March 2020 
and a total of 460 combined soil and rock samples were collected. Numerous calcrete outcrops were observed and mapped. 
Figure 15 shows the location of samples collected and mapped outcrops of calcrete (refer to ASX announcement of 27 April 
2020).  The  electrical  resistivity  and  IP  geophysics  survey  lines  were  conducted  over  areas  of  known  geophysical 
anomalism, including magnetic and gravity highs/lows as well as areas of observable outcrop.

Initially  soil  sampling  was  implemented  on  a  grid-based  system  where  soil  samples  were  taken  at  locations  spaced  in  a 
uniform grid pattern was pre-determined on 30m east-west and 300m north-south spacing. The soil sampling rationale was 
then  changed  to  target  not  only  directly  within  and  adjacent  to  calcrete  outcrops  but  in  a  systematic  approach  traversing 
around the calcrete outcrop zone up to 150 metres away. 

Assay  results  from  soil  sampling  showed  anomalous  values  of  copper-zinc-lead  of  which  were  analogous  to  historic  soil 
sampling within the historic Mt Gunson copper mining district mines and deposits; as well as path-finder elements Ca, Mg, 
Fe, Mn, Cr, Co, Ni, As, Bi, Th, U, Ag and Au. 

Table 1 shows soil sample assay results of Pernatty “C” where Copper => 11ppm Cu  and Zinc => 28ppm Zn and Lead => 
5ppm Pb. 

Multiple follow-up targets were identified within the southern part of Pernatty “C” from soil sampling that showed anomalous 
values for copper, zinc, lead and other path-finder elements including iron, manganese, calcium, nickel and cobalt. Figure 
17 shows a heat map generated from Copper in soils derived from the assay results, initial target zones are shown in white 
circled areas.

Table 1: Assay results of selected surface samples at Pernatty “C”. 

The  geophysics  survey  utilised  the  FlashRES-Universal  96  data  acquisition  system  developed  by  ZZ  Resistivity  Imaging, 
Australia.  Long  survey  lines  of  up  to  630  metres  in  length  (with  10m  electrode  spacing)  provided  a  survey  comprising  61 
channels (64 electrodes); and short survey lines of up to 96 metres in length (with 3m electrode spacing) provided a survey 
comprising 29 channels (32 electrodes). Data  was  acquired  both through conventional arrays  i.e.  Wenner, Schlumberger; 
and ZZ unconventional arrays. The ZZ array is far more advanced that other conventional arrays as it acquires data from a 
continuous  spread  of  electrodes,  avoiding  traditional  acquisition  pattern  limitations.  The  final  result  was  a  true  resistivity 
distribution  map  rather  than  the  traditional  apparent  resistivity  map  or  curve.  This  allows  easier  and  more  accurate 
interpretation. Data Inversion of the survey was processed using ZZ’s 2.5D inversion techniques. 

The results of the geophysical survey are shown in Figure 16a (ZZ Array), Figure 16b (Schlumberger Array), and Figure 16c 
(Wenner Array).

Heritage Survey 

As part of the approval process for exploration drilling at Horse Well and Pernatty C a Heritage Survey was completed with 
the  Kokatha  Aboriginal  Corporation  (KAC),  Australian  Heritage  Surveys  and  Euro  Exploration  Pty  Ltd.  The  survey  was 
preceded by an Exploration Program for Environment Protection and Rehabilitation (E-PEPR) which was submitted to both 
the Department for Energy and Mining (SA) and the KAC prior to the Heritage survey being arranged. The Heritage Survey 
was  conducted  on  July  7  –  10,  2020  and  was  approved  by  the  KAC  and  the  Department  of  Energy  and  Mining,  South 
Australia.

Cohiba Minerals Limited 
Directors' report 
30 June 2020 

The Directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity  (referred to hereafter 
as the 'consolidated entity') consisting of Cohiba Minerals Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'Company' or 'parent entity') 
and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2020. 

Directors 
The following persons were Directors of Cohiba Minerals Limited during the whole of the financial year and up to the date 
of this report, unless otherwise stated: 

Mr Mordechai Benedikt (Executive Director) - appointed Executive Chairman 17 June 2020 
Mr Andrew Graham (Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director) - appointed Chief Executive Officer 24 February 2020, 
appointed Executive Director 17 June 2020 
Mr Nachum Labkowski (Non-Executive Director) 
Mr Avi Kimelman (Non-Executive Chairman) - resigned 17 June 2020 
Dr Robert Beeson (Non-Executive Director) - resigned 28 February 2020 

Principal activities 
The principal activity of the consolidated entity during the year was the exploration for natural resources, including metals, 
precious  metals,  lithium,  cobalt  and  minerals.  There  have  been  no  significant  changes  in  the  nature  of  those  activities 
during the period. 

Dividends 
There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year. 

Review of operations 
The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $1,288,926 (30 June 2019: $1,096,712). 

Financial performance 

In the current year, operating expenses increased by $192,320 to $1,311,275 (2019: $1,118,955), driven by the following: 

● 
● 

 Write down of investments recognised during the year of $291,418 (2019: nil); and 
 Higher employment expenses from share based payment expenses in the current year of $190,750 (2019: nil). 

It  is  noted  that  the  above  movements  were  offset  by  an  overall  reduction  of  corporate  and  administration  expenditure  of 
$261,536. 

Financial position 

Net  assets  of  the  consolidated  entity  slightly  decreased  from  $4,014,704  to  $3,956,176,  mainly  attributable  to  the  write 
down  of  investments  and  decrease  in  cash  balances.  This  decrease  was  offset  by  a  20%  increase  in  exploration  and 
evaluation assets. 

Cash flow 
The Company successfully raised a net amount of $1,047,915 during the year from capital raising activities to accelerate 
exploration activities. This included issuing a total of  226,088,019 fully paid ordinary shares through a Rights Issue and a 
total of 142,552,674 unlisted options through an offer during the year. 

Refer to the detailed review of operations preceding this report for further information on the consolidated entity’s activities. 

Significant changes in the state of affairs

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect 
the  consolidated  entity's  operations,  the  results  of  those  operations,  or  the  consolidated  entity's  state  of  affairs  in  future 
financial years. 

Likely developments and expected results of operations 
During the previous financial years, the Company has entered into agreements to acquire new projects and project rights 
and the success of the Company will depend on exploration activities proposed to be carried out  on the current projects 
areas of interest which have been acquired or granted to the consolidated entity.  

The Company continues to review potential new opportunities, if the Directors are successful in acquiring new projects or 
entering into a joint venture, it is expected that part of the funding held by the Company may be directed to the purchase of 
that project and to the exploration and development plan for that project. It may be that additional cash will be required to 
fund any of these events should they eventuate. In that case the Directors will be required to review the funding options 
available to the Company.   

Environmental regulation 
The consolidated entity holds participating interests in a number of exploration tenements. The various authorities granting 
such tenements require the tenement holder to comply with the terms of the grant of the tenement and all directions given 
to it under those terms of the tenement. To the best of the Directors' knowledge, the Group has adequate systems in place 
to  ensure  compliance  with  the  requirements  of  all  environmental  legislation  described  above  and  are  not  aware  of  any 
breach of those requirements during the financial year and up to the date of the Directors' report.

Directors' report 
30 June 2020 

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the 
activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors. 

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings: 
●

 Share-based compensation

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 
The objective of the consolidated entity's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive 
and  appropriate  for  the  results  delivered.  The  framework  aligns  executive  reward  with  the  achievement  of  strategic 
objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and  it  is considered to conform to the market best practice for the 
delivery of reward. The Board of Directors ('the Board') ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for 
good reward governance practices: 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 competitiveness and reasonableness 
 acceptability to shareholders 
 performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation 
 transparency 

The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives. The 
performance  of  the  company  depends  on  the  quality  of  its  directors  and  executives.  The  remuneration  philosophy  is  to 
attract, motivate and retain high performance and high quality personnel.  

The  Board  has  structured  an  executive  remuneration  framework  that  is  market  competitive  and  complementary  to  the 
reward strategy of the company.  

The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board have considered that it 
should seek to enhance shareholders' interests by: 
● 
● 

 having economic profit as a core component of plan design 
 focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth and growth in  share price and delivering constant or increasing 
return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value 

In  accordance  with  best  practice  corporate  governance,  the  structure  of  non-executive  director  and  executive  director 
remuneration is separate. 

Non-executive directors remuneration 
Fees  and  payments  to  non-executive  directors  reflect  the  demands  and  responsibilities  of  their  role.  Non-executive 
directors'  fees  and  payments  are  reviewed  annually  by  the  Board  as  a  whole.  The  chairman's  fees  are  determined 
independently  to  the  fees  of  other  non-executive  directors  based  on  comparative  roles  in  the  external  market.  The 
chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration.  

ASX  listing  rules  require  the  aggregate  non-executive  directors  remuneration  be  determined  periodically  by  a  general 
meeting. The most recent determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 16 May 2012, where the shareholders 
approved an aggregate remuneration of $250,000. 

Executive remuneration 
The company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration  based on their position and responsibility, 
which has both fixed and variable components. 

The executive remuneration and reward framework generally has two components: 
● 
● 

 base pay and non-monetary benefits 
 share-based payments 

The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration. 

Fixed  remuneration,  consisting  of  base  salary,  and  non-monetary  benefits,  are  reviewed  annually  by  the  Board, 
predominantly non-executive Director, based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the 
consolidated entity and comparable market remunerations.

The  remuneration  of  directors  and  executives  are  not  linked  to  the  performance,  share  price  or  earnings  of  the 
consolidated entity.

Cohiba Minerals Limited 
Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2020 

Note 1. General information 

The financial statements cover Cohiba Minerals Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of Cohiba Minerals Limited and 
the  entities  it  controlled  at  the  end  of,  or  during,  the  year.  The  financial  statements  are  presented  in  Australian  dollars, 
which is Cohiba Minerals Limited's functional and presentation currency. 

Cohiba  Minerals  Limited  is  a  listed  public  Company  limited  by  shares,  incorporated  and  domiciled  in  Australia.  Its 
registered office and principal place of business is: 

Level 21, 459 Collins Street 
Melbourne, VIC 3000 
Ph: (03) 8630 3321  

A description of the nature of the  consolidated entity's operations and its principal activities are included in the Directors' 
report, which is not part of the financial statements. 

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on  30 September 2020. 
The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. 

Note 2. Significant accounting policies 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out either in the respective 
notes or below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations  
The  consolidated  entity  has  adopted  all  of  the  new  or  amended  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. 

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. 

The  adoption  of  these  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  did  not  have  any  significant  impact  on  the  financial 
performance or position of the consolidated entity. 

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity: 

AASB 16 Leases 
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees 
eliminates the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value 
assets,  right-of-use  assets  and  corresponding  lease  liabilities  are  recognised  in  the  statement  of  financial  position. 
Straightline operating lease expense recognition is replaced with a depreciation charge for the right-of-use assets (included 
in  operating  costs)  and  an  interest  expense  on  the  recognised  lease  liabilities  (included  in  finance  costs).  In  the  earlier 
periods  of  the  lease,  the  expenses  associated  with  the  lease  under  AASB  16  will  be  higher  when  compared  to  lease 
expenses  under  AASB  117.  However,  EBITDA  (Earnings  Before  Interest,  Tax,  Depreciation  and  Amortisation)  results 
improve as the operating expense is now replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss. For classification 
within  the statement of cash flows, the  interest portion is  disclosed  in  operating  activities and the principal  portion  of the 
lease payments are separately disclosed in financing activities. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially 
change how a lessor accounts for leases.  

In applying AASB 16, there was no impact on the financial statements. As the consolidated entity is not party to any leasing 
arrangements, there were no right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities recognised in the statement of financial 
position. 

Basis of preparation 
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  ('AASB')  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  as 
appropriate  for  for-profit  oriented  entities.  These  financial  statements  also  comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting 
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). 

Historical cost convention 
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the following:

Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2020 

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

● 

 Investments in preference shares, which are measured at fair value. 

Critical accounting estimates 
The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical  accounting  estimates.  It  also  requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas 
involving  a  higher  degree  of  judgement  or  complexity,  or  areas  where  assumptions  and  estimates  are  significant  to  the 
financial statements, are disclosed in note 3. 

Parent entity information 
In  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  these  financial  statements  present  the  results  of  the  consolidated  entity 
only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 20. 

Principles of consolidation 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of  Cohiba  Minerals  Limited 
('Company'  or  'parent  entity')  as  at  30  June  2020  and  the  results  of  all  subsidiaries  for  the  year  then  ended.  Cohiba 
Minerals Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'. 

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity 
when the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control 
ceases. 

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

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, 
without  the  loss  of  control,  is  accounted  for  as  an  equity  transaction,  where  the  difference  between  the  consideration 
transferred  and  the  book  value  of  the  share  of  the  non-controlling  interest  acquired  is  recognised  directly  in  equity 
attributable to the parent. 

Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and 
non-controlling  interest  in  the  subsidiary  together  with  any  cumulative  translation  differences  recognised  in  equity.  The 
consolidated  entity  recognises  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  received  and  the  fair  value  of  any  investment  retained 
together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. 

Foreign currency translation 
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Cohiba Minerals Limited's functional and presentation 
currency. 

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

Interest 
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method.  

Accounting policy for Government grants 
Government grants  are recognised  where there  is reasonable  assurance  that the grant will be received  and all attached 
conditions will be complied with.  When the grant relates to an expense  item, it  is recognised  as income on a systematic 
basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates 
to an asset, it is recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.

Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2020 

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Other revenue 
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. 

Current and non-current classification 
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. 

An  asset  is  classified  as  current  when:  it  is  either  expected  to  be  realised  or  intended  to  be  sold  or  consumed  in  the 
consolidated  entity's  normal  operating  cycle;  it  is  held  primarily  for  the  purpose  of  trading;  it  is  expected  to  be  realised 
within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged 
or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. 

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; 
it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no 
unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities 
are classified as non-current. 

Joint operations 
A joint  operation is a joint  arrangement whereby the  parties that have joint control of the arrangement  have rights to the 
assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The  consolidated entity has recognised its share of 
jointly  held  assets,  liabilities,  revenues  and  expenses  of  joint  operations.  These  have  been  incorporated  in  the  financial 
statements under the appropriate classifications. 

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes 
Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  associated  GST,  unless  the  GST  incurred  is  not 
recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part 
of the expense. 

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  inclusive  of  the  amount  of  GST  receivable  or  payable.  The  net  amount  of  GST 
recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  tax  authority  is  included  in  other  receivables  or  other  payables  in  the  statement  of 
financial position. 

Cash  flows  are  presented  on  a  gross  basis.  The  GST  components  of  cash  flows  arising  from  investing  or  financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. 

Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  that  have  recently  been  issued  or  amended  but  are  not  yet 
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the  consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020. 
The  consolidated  entity  has  not  yet  assessed  the  impact  of  these  new  or  amended  Accounting  Standards  and 
Interpretations. 

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  that 
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in 
relation  to  assets,  liabilities,  contingent  liabilities,  revenue  and  expenses.  Management  bases  its  judgements,  estimates 
and  assumptions  on  historical  experience  and  on  other  various  factors,  including  expectations  of  future  events, 
management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will 
seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing 
a  material  adjustment  to  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  (refer  to  the  respective  notes)  within  the  next 
financial year are discussed below. 

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic 
Judgement  has  been  exercised  in  considering  the  impacts  that  the  Coronavirus  (COVID-19)  pandemic  has  had,  or  may 
have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and 
services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other 
than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial 
statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions  which may impact the  consolidated entity 
unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2020 

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued) 

Share-based payment transactions 
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees, consultants and suppliers by reference to 
the  fair  value  of  the  equity  instruments  at  the  date  at  which  they  are  granted.  The  fair  value  is  determined  by  using  the 
Black Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. A significant 
judgement  comes  from  the  expected  price  volatility  of  the  underlying  share.  The  accounting  estimates  and  assumptions 
relating  to  equity-settled  share-based  payments  would  have  no  impact  on  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities 
within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.  

Allowance for expected credit losses 
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the 
lifetime  expected  credit  loss,  grouped  based  on  days  overdue,  and  makes  assumptions  to  allocate  an  overall  expected 
credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include historical collection rates. 

Fair valuation assessment of preference shares investment 
In  the  previous  financial  year,  the  consolidated  entity  invested  in  preference  shares  in  a  US-based  financial  corporation. 
Details  of  the  rights  and  terms  of  these  preference  shares  are  disclosed  in  note  8.  At  initial  recognition,  the  preference 
shares were accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value taken to the profit or loss.  

As at 30 June 2020, the Directors considered the fair value of this investment, which was classified as a Level 3 investment 
consistent  with  the  prior  year  due  to  the  limited  market  data  available  to  value  the  investment  (2019:  Level  3).  In 
considering the fair valuation,  the Directors considered the  ability of the  investee to continue to accrue  and distribute an 
annual 8% dividend return under the terms of the investment.  

Given a delay in receiving the prior year's distribution, and from an analysis of the financial performance and position of the 
investee, based upon unaudited financial information provided by the investee, coupled with more broader macroeconomic 
factors impacting the investee's financial performance, including the impact of the COVID pandemic, it was determined the 
recoverable amount of the investment was zero. As a consequence the investment was fully written down during the year. 

Recovery of deferred tax assets 
Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  deductible  temporary  differences  only  if  the  consolidated  entity  considers  it  is 
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

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

Impairment of exploration and evaluation costs 
The  consolidated  entity  assesses  impairment  of  exploration  and  evaluation  costs  at  each  reporting  date  by  evaluating 
conditions  specific  to  Cohiba  Minerals  and  to  the  particular  asset  that  may  lead  to  impairment.  If  an  impairment  trigger 
exists, the recoverable  amount of the  asset  is determined. This  involves  fair value  less costs of disposal or value-in-use 
calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.

Note 4. Operating segments 

Identification of reportable operating segments 
The consolidated entity has identified its operating segments based on the investment decisions of the board and used by 
the  chief  operating  decision  makers  in  assessing  performance  and  in  determining  the  allocation  of  resources.  The 
consolidated entity operates in one segment being the evaluation and exploration of resources in the Oceania region. 

Accounting policy for operating segments 
Operating  segments  are  presented  using  the  'management  approach',  where  the  information  presented  is  on  the  same 
basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the 
allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

Accounting policy for other receivables 
Other receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. 

Impairment 
Allowances for impairment are recognised using an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model. Impairment is measured using a 
12- month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in 
which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted.

During the prior year the consolidated entity invested in unlisted preference shares, at USD $1 per share, in a US based 
corporation. Holders are entitled an annual 8% dividend. Holders do not have any voting rights. 

As at 30 June 2020, the Directors considered the fair value of this investment, which was classified as a Level 3 investment 
consistent  with  the  prior  year  due  to  the  limited  market  data  available  to  value  the  investment  (2019:  Level  3).  In

factors impacting the investee's financial performance, including the impact of the COVID pandemic, it was determined the

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
Financial  assets  not  measured  at  amortised  cost  or  at  fair  value  through  other  comprehensive  income  are  classified  as 
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where 
they  are  acquired  for  the  purpose  of  selling  in  the  short-term  with  an  intention  of  making  a  profit,  or  a  derivative;  or  (ii) 
designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted.  
Fair value movements and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.

Olympic Domain Farm-in Agreement 

On  7  March  2018  the  Company  entered  into  a  Farm-in  Agreement  with  Olympic  Domain  Pty  Ltd  (Arrangement)  for  a 
proposed  joint  venture  in  respect  of  seven  distinct  exploration  tenements  located  in  South  Australia.  Under  the  present 
conditions  of  the  Arrangement,  the  Company  will  be  entitled  to  form  a  joint  venture  upon  achievement  of  a  number  of 
Stages in the Arrangement. 

● 

● 

● 

 Stage  1  requires  minimum  expenditure  of  $500,000  (Minimum  Expenditure)  within  one  year  of  the  execution  of  the 
Farm-in  Agreement  and  a  maximum  of  $100,000  as  reimbursement  to  Olympic  Domain  in  connection  with  the 
previous development of the tenements. Following completion of the Stage 1 expenditure the Company will acquire a 
30% interest in the tenements; 
 Stage  2  requires  minimum  expenditure  of  $1,000,000  within  two  years  of  the  execution  of  the  Farm-in  Agreement, 
and a maximum of $100,000 as reimbursement to Olympic Domain in connection with the previous development of 
the tenements. Following completion of the Stage 2 expenditure the Company will acquire a further 21% interest in 
the tenements; and 
 Stage 3 requires minimum expenditure of $1,500,000 within three years of the execution of the Farm-in Agreement. 
Following completion of the Stage 3 expenditure the Company will acquire a further 29% interest in the tenements. 

Stage  1  was  completed  in  the  previous  the  year,  and  on  5  May  2020  the  Company  announced  that  it  had  received 
confirmation  from  Olympic  Domain  that  Stage  2  had  been  achieved.  On  2  July  2020  the  Company  announced  that  the 
Deputy Executive Director, Mineral Resources SA had informed the Company of the approval and subsequent transfer of 
51% ownership of the Olympic Domain tenements to Cohiba Minerals Ltd. 

On 16 September 2020, the Company announced that it had notified Olympic Domain Pty Ltd that it has exceeded the $1.5 
million expenditure requirement to secure an 80% ownership in the Olympic Domain tenements in South Australia and is 
awaiting final acknowledgement from Olympic Domain. 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure made for the purposes of the Arrangement, has been assessed as being able to be 
capitalised under the consolidated entity’s accounting policy for such expenditure.

Accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets 
Exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  in  relation  to  separate  areas  of  interest  for  which  rights  of  tenure  are  current  is 
carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered 
through the successful development  and exploitation  of an area  of  interest or its sale.  Alternatively,  exploration activities 
are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or 
otherwise  of  economically  recoverable  reserves.  Where  a  project  or  an  area  of  interest  has  been  abandoned,  the 
expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.

Ordinary shares 
Ordinary  shares  entitle  the  holder  to  participate  in  dividends  and  the  proceeds  on  the  winding  up  of  the  Company  in 
proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the 
Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. 

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each 
share shall have one vote. 

Share buy-back 
There is no current on-market share buy-back. 

Capital risk management 
The consolidated  entity's objectives when  managing  capital  is to safeguard  its  ability to continue as  a  going concern, so 
that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure 
to reduce the cost of capital. 

In  order  to  maintain  or  adjust  the  capital  structure,  the  consolidated  entity  may  adjust  the  amount  of  dividends  paid  to 
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. 

The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as 
value  adding  relative  to  the  current  Company's  share  price  at  the  time  of  the  investment.  The  consolidated  entity  is  not 
actively pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its  existing businesses in 
order to maximise synergies. 

The Company seeks to ratify its placement capacity at each Annual General Meeting and General Meeting.  

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from previous financial years.

Note 12. Equity - issued capital (continued) 

Accounting policy for issued capital 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net  of tax, 
from the proceeds. 

Note 13. Equity - dividends 

There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year. 

Note 14. Financial instruments 

Financial risk management objectives 
The consolidated entity's activities expose it to financial risks such as market risk (foreign currency risk and price risk) and 
liquidity  risk.  The  consolidated  entity's  overall  risk  management  program  focuses  on  the  unpredictability  of  financial 
markets  and  seeks  to  minimise  potential  adverse  effects  on  the  financial  performance  of  the  consolidated  entity.  The 
consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include 
maturity analysis in the case of liquidity risk. 

Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of 
the risk exposure of the consolidated entity and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits.  

Market risk 

Foreign currency risk 
The  consolidated  entity  undertakes  certain  transactions  denominated  in  foreign  currency  and  is  exposed  to  foreign 
currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations. 

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial  transactions and recognised financial assets and financial  liabilities 
denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and 
cash flow forecasting. 

The  carrying  amount  of  the  consolidated  entity's  foreign  currency  denominated  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  at 
the reporting date were as follows:

The  assumed  movement  in  basis  points  for  the  price  sensitivity  analysis  is  based  on  the  currently  observable  market 
environment. 

Credit risk 
Credit  risk  refers  to  the  risk  that  a  counterparty  will  default  on  its  contractual  obligations  resulting  in  financial  loss  to  the 
consolidated  entity.  The  consolidated  entity  has  a  strict  code  of  credit,  including  obtaining  agency  credit  information, 
confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits. The  consolidated entity obtains guarantees where appropriate 
to  mitigate  credit  risk.  The  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  at  the  reporting  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. The consolidated entity does not hold any collateral. 

The  consolidated  entity  has  adopted  a  lifetime  expected  loss  allowance  in  estimating  expected  credit  losses  to  trade 
receivables.

 The current expected credit loss rate is zero, with no expected credit loss to be recorded. 

Liquidity risk 
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, who have built an appropriate liquidity 
risk  management  framework  for  the  management  of  the  consolidated  entity’s  short,  medium  and  long-term  funding  and 
liquidity  management  requirements.  The  consolidated  entity  manages  liquidity  risk  through  capital  raising  activities,  and 
continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. 
The  consolidated  entity  did  not  have  any  undrawn  facilities  at  its  disposal  as  at  reporting  date.  Vigilant  liquidity  risk 
management requires the  consolidated  entity to maintain sufficient  liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) and 
available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable. 

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by 
continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. 

Fair value of financial instruments 
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value.

Note 15. Fair value measurement 

Fair value hierarchy 
The following tables detail the consolidated entity's assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three 
level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: 
Level  1:  Quoted  prices  (unadjusted)  in  active  markets  for  identical  assets  or  liabilities  that  the  entity  can  access  at  the 
measurement date 
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 
or indirectly 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

There were no transfers between levels during the financial year. 

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 3 
The  fair  value  of  financial  instruments  that  are  not  traded  in  an  active  market  is  determined  using  valuation  techniques. 
These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible 
on entity-specific estimates. If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument 
is included in Level 3. 

Valuations  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Directors  of  the  consolidated  entity  and  may  use  the  services  of  independent 
valuers to determine appropriateness of valuation of unlisted investments. The Directors review the valuation policies of the 
consolidated entity on an annual basis, to ensure adherence to industry best practices.  

The  Directors  have  made  valuation  judgements  to  determine  that  the  fair  value  of  the  unlisted  preference  shares  at 
reporting date is its cost. The Directors concluded that the carrying amount of the shares reflects its fair value.

Accounting policy for fair value measurement 
Assets  and  liabilities  measured  at  fair  value  are  classified  into  three  levels,  using  a  fair  value  hierarchy  that  reflects  the 
significance  of  the  inputs  used  in  making  the  measurements.  Classifications  are  reviewed  at  each  reporting  date  and 
transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair 
value measurement.

Note 15. Fair value measurement (continued) 

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either 
not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge 
and  reputation.  Where  there  is  a  significant  change  in  fair  value  of  an  asset  or  liability  from  one  period  to  another,  an 
analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, 
where applicable, with external sources of data.

No options or performance rights have been included in the weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes 
of calculating diluted EPS as they do not meet the requirements for inclusion in AASB 133 “Earnings per Share”. The rights 
to options are non-dilutive as the consolidated entity is loss generating.  

Accounting policy for earnings per share 

Basic loss per share 
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Cohiba Minerals Limited, excluding any 
costs  of  servicing  equity  other  than  ordinary  shares,  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares  outstanding 
during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year. 

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

Accounting policy for share-based payments 
Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees, consultants and suppliers. 

Equity-settled  transactions  are  awards  of  shares,  performance  rights  or  options  over  shares,  that  are  provided  to 
employees  in  exchange  for  the  rendering  of  services.  Cash-settled  transactions  are  awards  of  cash  for  the  exchange  of 
services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is determined using the Black 
Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the 
share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free 
interest  rate  for  the  term  of  the  option,  together  with  non-vesting  conditions  that  do  not  determine  whether  the  company 
receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

Cohiba Minerals Limited 
Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2020 

Note 25. Share-based payments (continued) 

The cost of equity-settled transactions are usually recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over 
the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the 
best  estimate  of  the  number  of  awards  that  are  likely  to  vest  and  the  expired  portion  of  the  vesting  period.  The  amount 
recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already 
recognised in previous periods. 

The  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  can  also  be  recognised  as  capital  raising  costs  recorded  against  equity,  with  the 
same recognition approach as above. 

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions 
are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are 
satisfied.

Independent auditor’s report to members  

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 
We have audited the financial report of Cohiba Minerals Limited (the Company) and its 
controlled entities (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial 
position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 
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 other explanatory 
information, and the directors’ declaration. 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the 
Corporations Act 2001, including:  
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its 
financial performance for the year then ended; and  
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 
2001.  

Basis for Opinion  
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our 
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s 
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are 
independent of the Group 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 
(including Independence Standards) (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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to 
provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters  

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

CARRYING VALUE AND CAPITALISATION OF EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS 

Area of focus 

How our audit addressed it 

The Group has incurred exploration and evaluation 
costs for exploration projects in Australia over a 
number of years.  

The Group holds the right to explore and evaluate 
those projects through either a direct ownership of 
the underlying area of interest or through Farm-in 
Arrangements with third parties (who hold the 
underlying right to the area of interest).  

There is a risk that the Group may lose or relinquish 
its rights to further explore and evaluate those 
areas of interest and therefore amounts capitalized 
to the statement of financial position from the 
current and historical periods be no longer 
recoverable. 

During the year the Group impaired $78,544 on 
projects where the underlying tenement was 
expected to be relinquished. 

In order to meet this risk, our audit procedures 
included the following: 

—  Understanding and vouching the underlying 
contractual entitlement to explore and 
evaluate each area of interest, be this 
through Farm-in Arrangement and/or directly 
through to the underlying tenement, 
including an evaluation of the requirement to 
renew that tenement at its expiry; 

—  Examining project spend per each area of 

interest and comparing this spend to the 
minimum expenditure requirements set out 
in the underlying tenement expenditure plan; 

—  Examining project spend to each area of 

interest to ensure that it is directly 
attributable to that area of interest; and 

—  From an overall perspective, comparing the 
market capitalisation of the Group to the net 
carrying value of its assets on the statement 
of financial position to identify any other 
additional indicators of impairment. 

We also assessed the adequacy of the Group’s 
disclosures in respect of capitalised exploration 
costs and the planned expenditures under either 
direct tenement agreements or as applicable 
under Farm-in Arrangements.

VALUATION OF  INVESTMENT IN PREFERENCE SHARES  
Area of focus 

How our audit addressed it 

In order to meet this risk, our audit procedures 
included the following: 

—  Confirmation procedures were conducted; 

and 

—  Discussions with management were 

conducted to assess the investee’s ability to 
pay out the dividend entitlement for current 
and future dividend and the impact of the 
current economic environment on the 
valuation of the investment.  

We also assessed the adequacy of the 
disclosures relating to the investment in 
accordance with the applicable accounting 
standards, including re-confirming that the 
investment is with a third party, unconnected 
directly or indirectly to the Group. 

The Group holds preference shares in an unlisted 
US-based investment it made in the 2019 financial 
year. The investment is with a third party and was 
made on arms-length terms. These preference 
shares have entitlement to 8% annual dividends, no 
voting rights but have wind-up rights that rank 
above ordinary shareholders of the investee. At 
initial recognition, the investment has been 
classified as a fair value investment, with changes 
in its fair value taken to the profit or loss.  

Since its initial recognition through to 30 June 2020 
the investment has been classified as level 3 fair 
valuation, principally on the basis that the 
preference shares are not quoted, together with the 
limited availability of market data supporting the 
investment valuation.  

In assessing the fair valuation of the investment as 
at 30 June 2020, the directors considered the 
following key assumptions: 

—  The right to dividends and the likelihood of 
payout of those accrued dividends as at 30 
June 2020; 

—  The underlying financial performance and 

position of the investee, including its solvency, 
future prospects and the strength of its 
available working capital in order to maintain 
the 8% per annum dividend entitlement; and 

—  Broader macroeconomic factors impacting the 
investee's financial performance, including the 
impact of the COVID pandemic 

It was determined the recoverable amount of the 
investment was zero. As a result, the investment 
was fully written down during the year. 

Other Information  
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information 
included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the financial 
report and the auditor’s report thereon. 

For personal use only 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 Group 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 Group 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 Group or to cease 
operations, or has 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 the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it 
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the 
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the 
basis of this financial report. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these financial statements is located at the 
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
