It goes without saying that FY17 was a momentous year for the Company, and it is with great pleasure we deliver our results to you. We underwent a name change from Tyrian Diagnostics to Contango Asset Management, and a fundamental change in direction into a pre-eminent funds management business. Such changes are never without their challenges and some inevitable teething problems; however, it is testament to the Management Team and my fellow Directors that the business has transitioned seamlessly, and strengthened in the nine months since the change. Wesetambitiousgrowthgoals,andformuchoftheyear,wehavetrackednicely.Attheendofthefinancialyear,the Company was responsible for more than $750 million in Funds Under Management (FUM), an annual increase from $676m. However,recentoutflowsofinstitutionalmanagedmandateshaverequiredarecalibrationofthebusiness.Withastable platformbeneathus,andarobustcostmanagementstrategy,IamconfidentwecanlookforwardtopositivegrowthinFY18. During the year, we have continued to roll-out a diverse product suite. These included our appointment as the Investment Adviser to an innovative new exchange traded product, the Switzer Dividend Growth Fund, in February. This was a great achievement in itself, which foreshadowed a much larger milestone. ContangoGlobalGrowthLimited(CQG),thethirdContango-brandedLIC,wasfirstannouncedtomarketinFebruary and successfully listed on the ASX in June. CQG represented the culmination of months of meticulous planning by management, crowned with the major achievement of a partnership with California based WCM Investment Management as Investment Adviser. Internally, the team continued to grow in a very positive fashion, with a number of highly experienced - and not to mention talented - individuals coming on board, all with instrumental roles to play in the Company’s growth strategy. Focus will remain on growth, incorporating an integrated distribution and marketing program to be rolled out toward to end of 2017 and into early 2018. These developments have been made possible by the unwavering dedication of Mr George Boubouras and his management team, and while there are always going to be those growing pains, to have accomplished all of this in such a short period of time is a great achievement. I’m very much looking forward to what can be realised now that the foundations have been laid. I would like to thank my fellow Directors on the diligent oversight during this major period of transition. Thank you to our shareholders for supporting our vision. Here’s to another successful year for CGA, and many more milestones along the way in FY18. Yours faithfully Roger Amos Chairman Contango Asset Management 4 | LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT George Boubouras Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer Contango Asset Management Limited “Eventful” is a term that readily gets thrown around in AnnualReports,whenwereflectupontheyearthatwas and consider all that we have achieved. However, in the case of FY17 for Contango Asset Management, eventful iswithoutdoubtthemostfittingwordIcoulduseto describe our year. And I mean eventful in the most positive way. We embarked on an ambitious growth journey way back at the beginning of 2015, and by the middle of 2016, having carefully laid the platform, we were ready to really take off. It pleases me no end to be able to report that our bold transition to become one of Australia’s leading investment houses is well on track, punctuated by all that we achieved in the past 12 months, and our operating platform is now set. Firstly, there was the successful Management Buyout (MBO) and internal restructure, which saw an investment in our team that was designed to carefully align with the interests of our clients and shareholders. By doing away with bonuses and incentives as part of the MBO, and encouraging an equity partnership model, every team member has “skin in the game”, so to speak. We are all committed to the same cause, for the same reason, 365 days a year – as our clients, shareholders and stakeholders expect and deserve us to be. WewerealsothrilledtoopenourSydneyofficein2017, givingusgreaterscalabilityandflexibilityinoperating across the two biggest Australian markets. Yet again, this was another fantastic indicator of how far we have come in a short period of time, and indeed the limitless potential we see ahead of us. From an operational point of view, we grew our Funds UnderManagementtomorethan$750millionbyfiscal year end 17, which was a solid achievement in the context of such a busy transitional period. With the platform now set, we look forward to taking further big steps in the year to come. We placed a high importance on diversifying our product offering, underscored by two major launches during the secondhalfofthefinancialyear.Firstly,wewereexcited to be a part of the Switzer Dividend Growth fund, a new active exchange-traded fund that added yet another high calibre fund to the Contango offering. That was followed by the launch and successful listing of Contango Global Growth Limited, in partnership with our Investment Adviser from Laguna Beach California, WCM Investment Management, a very well regarded and proven global growth manager. The new LIC successfully raised $100million, with more than 2,700 shareholders, and with a mandate to invest in the vast global equities market. We are excited by this product’s potential. All this was achieved against the backdrop of a remarkably volatile year for equities markets. Geopolitical instability and uncertainty in a multitude of sectors led to a series of ups and downs that gave many an investor headaches. For some sectors navigating this instability proved difficultandContangowasnotcompletelyimmune. Such is the nature of equities. Yet for the most part, we managed to continue to perform well against our various benchmarks while at the same time successfully establish our operating platform. WithsuchaneventfulyearbehindusI’mconfidentthat we will continue to deliver exceptional results. I think I can safely say that the stage is now set thanks to all we have achieved in FY17. I look forward to what this team can achieve in FY18 and beyond.

Basic earnings per share was a loss of 43.0 cents (2016: 9.0 cents).

GOING CONCERN Theconsolidatedfinancialstatementsandnotes represent those of Contango Asset Management Limited as a Group consisting of Contango Asset Management Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during,theyear.Thefinancialstatementsarepresentedin Australian dollars, which is Contango Asset Management Limited's functional and presentation currency. Contango Asset Management is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The company changed its name from Tyrian Diagnostics Limited to Contango Asset Management Limited (formerly Tyrian Diagnostics Limited) on 29 August 2016. Thefinancialstatementswereauthorisedforissue, in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 29 September 2017. BASIS OF PREPARATION Thesegeneralpurposefinancialstatementshavebeen prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Group isafor-profitentityforfinancialreportingpurposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financialstatementsarepresentedbelowandhavebeen consistently applied unless stated otherwise. Exceptforcashflowinformation,thefinancialstatements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based onhistoricalcosts,modified,whereapplicable,bythe measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financialassetsandfinancialliabilities. NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Thefollowingisasummaryofsignificantaccounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of thefinancialreport.Theaccountingpolicieshavebeen consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. During the year ended 30 June 2017 the Group incurred a loss of $14,148,000 (2016: 300,000). Included in the year ended 30 June 2017 was one-off costs of $986,000 associated with the business combination and a charge toProfitandLossof$10,311,000forimpairmentof intangible assets. The Group also expensed $1,196,000 in share and option based payments. The revenue for the year ended 30 June 2017 included only revenue from the entities acquired as part of the business combination from 29 September 2016 to 30 June 2017. On 21st August 2017, the Company announced and finalisedtheplacementof5,555,556sharesat$0.90 each to cornerstone institutional and other sophisticated investors, raising $5,000,000 in additional capital, of which $750,000 was used to repay the borrowings at 30 June 2017 (Note 13). Having regard to the capital raised in the share placementandcombinedwithforecastedcash-flow from operations, the directors believe that the Group has sufficientcashreservestocontinuethegrowthstrategy commenced in September 2016 for the foreseeable future, and for at least twelve months from the date of thisreport.Thefinancialstatementshavethereforebeen prepared on a going concern basis. B. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION Theconsolidatedfinancialstatementsincorporateallof the assets, liabilities and results of the parent Contango Asset Management Limited and all of the subsidiaries (including any structured entities). Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it 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 over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 24. The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidatedintothefinancialstatementsoftheGroup from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 | 29 CONTANGO ASSET MANAGEMENT LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES (FORMERLY TYRIAN DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED) | ACN: 080 277 998C. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses. A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is obtained, whereby the fair value of theidentifiableassetsacquiredandliabilities(including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions). When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent considerationclassifiedasequityisnotremeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.Contingentconsiderationclassifiedasanasset or liability is remeasured in each reporting period to fairvalue,recognisinganychangetofairvalueinprofit orloss,unlessthechangeinvaluecanbeidentifiedas existing at acquisition date. All transaction costs incurred in relation to business combinations, other than those associated with the issue ofafinancialinstrument,arerecognisedasexpensesin profitorlosswhenincurred. The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. Goodwill Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the sum of: i. the consideration transferred; ii. any non-controlling interest (determined under either the full goodwill or proportionate interest method); and iii. the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest; over the acquisition date fair value of netidentifiableassetsacquired. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separatefinancialstatements. Fair value measurements in any pre-existing equity holdingsarerecognisedinprofitorlossintheperiod in which they arise. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profitorloss. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and is allocated to the Group's cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units, representing the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored and not larger than an operating segment. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the entity disposed of. Changes in the ownership interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions and do not affect the carrying amounts of goodwill. D. TAX CONSOLIDATION Contango Asset Management Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries are consolidated for tax purposes. E. INCOME TAX The income tax expense (income) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income). Currentincometaxexpensechargedtoprofitorloss is the tax payable on taxable income for the current period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferredincometaxexpensereflectsmovementsin deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is chargedorcreditedoutsideprofitorlosswhenthetax relatestoitemsthatarerecognisedoutsideprofitor loss or arising from a business combination. Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profitorloss. 30 | NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and theirmeasurementalsoreflectsthemannerinwhich management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that itisprobablethatfuturetaxableprofitwillbeavailable againstwhichthebenefitsofthedeferredtaxassetcan be utilised. Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: i. a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and ii. the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periodsinwhichsignificantamountsofdeferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. F. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT All classes of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. In the event the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amountandimpairmentlossesarerecognisedinprofitor loss. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present. G. DEPRECIATION Thedepreciableamountsallfixedassetsarecalculated using the diminishing balance method over their estimated useful lives commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The estimated useful life for plant and equipment for the period is 3 years (2016: 3 years). H. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Initial recognition and measurement: Financialassetsandfinancialliabilitiesarerecognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisionstotheinstrument.Forfinancialassets,thisis equivalent to the date that the entity commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted). Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified“atfairvaluethroughprofitorloss”,inwhich casetransactioncostsareexpensedtoprofitorloss immediately. Classification and subsequent measurement: Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest method, or cost. Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financialassetorfinancialliabilityismeasuredatinitial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of thefinancialinstrumenttothenetcarryingamountofthe financialassetorfinancialliability.Revisionstoexpected futurenetcashflowswillnecessitateanadjustmenttothe carrying amount with a consequential recognition of an incomeorexpenseiteminprofitorloss.

Inthecaseoffinancialassetscarriedatamortisedcost, loss events may include: indications that the debtors or agroupofdebtorsareexperiencingsignificantfinancial difficulty,defaultordelinquencyininterestorprincipal payments; indications that they will enter bankruptcy or otherfinancialreorganisation;andchangesinarrearsor economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Forfinancialassetscarriedatamortisedcost(including loans and receivables), a separate allowance account is usedtoreducethecarryingamountoffinancialassets impaired by credit losses. After having taken all possible measures of recovery, if management establishes that the carrying amount cannot be recovered by any means, at that point the written-off amounts are charged to the allowance account or the carrying amountofimpairedfinancialassetsisreduceddirectly if no impairment amount was previously recognised in the allowance account. Whenthetermsoffinancialassetsthatwouldotherwise have been past due or impaired have been renegotiated, theGrouprecognisestheimpairmentforsuchfinancial assets by taking into account the original terms as if the terms have not been renegotiated so that the loss events that have occurred are duly considered. Derecognition: Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rightstoreceiptofcashflowsexpireortheassetis transferred to another party whereby the entity no longerhasanysignificantcontinuinginvolvementinthe risksandbenefitsassociatedwiththeasset.Financial liabilities are derecognised when the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference betweenthecarryingamountofthefinancialliability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non- cashassetsorliabilitiesassumed,isrecognisedinprofit or loss. I. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, and short term deposits with an original maturity of threemonthsorlessheldatcallwithfinancialinstitutions. J. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES Trade receivables, which generally have 30 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value, less an allowance for impairment. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible arewrittenoffwhenidentified.Anallowancefordoubtful debts is raised when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debt. Objectiveevidenceofimpairmentincludesfinancial difficultiesofthedebtor,defaultpaymentsordebtsmore than90daysoverdue.Onconfirmationthatthetrade receivable will not be collectable an estimated loss of the gross carrying value of the asset is written off against the associated provision. K. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES An associate is an entity over which the Group has significantinfluence.Significantinfluenceisthepowerto participateinthefinancialandoperatingpolicydecisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies. A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Theconsiderationsmadeindeterminingsignificant influenceorjointcontrolaresimilartothosenecessary to determine control over subsidiaries. The Group’s investments in its joint venture are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in a joint venture is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment separately. ThestatementofprofitorlossreflectstheGroup’s share of the results of operations of the joint venture. Any change in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) of those investees is presented as part of the Group’s other comprehensive income. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the joint venture. 32 | NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 Thefinancialstatementsoftheassociateorjointventure are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group. After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an impairment loss on its investment in its joint venture. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the joint venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of joint venture and its carrying value, andthenrecognisesthelossinprofitorloss. L. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS Goodwillandotherassetsthathaveanindefinite useful life are not amortised but are tested annually for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 'Impairment of Assets'. The depreciable amount of intangible assets with afinitelifeisamortisedoveritsusefullife.Assetssubject to annual depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances arise that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverableamountofanassetisdefinedasthehigher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiablecashflows(cashgeneratingunits). M. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent it isprobablethattheeconomicbenefitswillflowtothe Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Thefollowingspecificrecognitioncriteriamustalsobe met before revenue is recognised: i. Rendering of services Management fee revenue is recognised upon delivery of the service to the customer. ii. Interest revenue Interest revenue is recognised when it becomes receivable on a proportional basis taking into account theinterestratesapplicabletothefinancialassets. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). N. GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST) Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the AustralianTaxationOffice(ATO).Inthesecircumstances the GST is recognised as part of the acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense. Receivablesandpayablesinthestatementoffinancial position are shown inclusive of GST.

Short-term employee benefit obligations Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annualleave,andanyotheremployeebenefits expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled.

TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES T. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS Trade payables and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the period that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 7– 60 days of recognition. Q. PROVISIONS Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of pastevents,forwhichitisprobablethatanoutflowof economicbenefitswillresultandthatoutflowcanbe reliably measured. R. BORROWINGS All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest method.Borrowingsareclassifiedascurrentliabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the statementoffinancialpositiondate. S. LEASES The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of an arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilmentofthearrangementisdependentontheuseof aspecificassetorassetsandthearrangementconveysa right to use the asset. Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially alltherisksandbenefitsincidentaltoownershipofthe leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease paymentsareapportionedbetweenfinancechargesand reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Financechargesarerecognisedasanexpenseinprofitor loss.Therewerenofinanceleasesduringtheyear. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense inprofitandlossonastraight-linebasisoverthelease term.Leaseincentivesarerecognisedinprofitorlossas an integral part of the total lease expense. Theconsolidatedentityprovidesbenefitstoits employees in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions). The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instrument at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is measured at the market bid price at grant date. The fair value of shares issued where the shares are treated as an option is determined using the Black Scholes valuation model. In respect of share-based payments that are dependent on the satisfaction of performance conditions, the number of shares expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at each reporting date The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditionsarefulfilled(thevestingperiod),endingon the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date). The amount recognised for services received as consideration for theseequityinstrumentsgrantedisadjustedtoreflect the best estimate of the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. U.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporatedintothefinancialstatementsbased 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: 34 | NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 i.

AASB 9 also introduces a new model for hedge accounting that will allow greaterflexibilityintheabilitytohedgerisk,particularly withrespecttohedgesofnon-financialitems.Should the entity elect to change its hedge policies in line with the new hedge accounting requirements of the Standard, the application of such accounting would be largely prospective. The useful life of customer relationships is estimated by management to be the expected period from which the Groupisexpectedtoderivebenefitsfromthisasset.

The Company is an entity to which this legislative instrument applies. Y. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE AT 30 JUNE 2017 Accounting Standards issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group, together with an assessment of the potential impact of such pronouncements on the Group when adopted in future periods, are discussed below: AASB 9: Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the provisions on hedge accounting outlined below) and includesrevisedrequirementsfortheclassificationand measurementoffinancialinstruments,revisedrecognition andderecognitionrequirementsforfinancialinstruments andsimplifiedrequirementsforhedgeaccounting. AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, as deferred by AASB 2015-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective Date of AASB 15). When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to revenue with a single, principles-based model. Except for 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 orservicestocustomersinanamountthatreflectsthe consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve this objective, AASB15providesthefollowingfive-stepprocess: • • 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 obligationsaresatisfied.Thetransitionalprovisionsof this Standard permit an entity to either: NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 | 35 CONTANGO ASSET MANAGEMENT LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES (FORMERLY TYRIAN DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED) | ACN: 080 277 998The transitional provisions of this Standard permit an entity to either: • restate the contracts that existed in each prior period presented per AASB 108: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (subject to certain practical expedients in AASB 15); • or recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application to incomplete contracts on the date of initial application. There are also enhanced disclosure requirements regarding revenue. There are also enhanced disclosure requirements. Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB15mayhaveanimpactontheGroup’sfinancial statements, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact. AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 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 eliminatestherequirementforleasestobeclassifiedas operatingorfinanceleases. The main changes introduced by the new Standard include: • recognition of a right-to-use asset and liability for all leases (excluding short-term leases with less than 12 months of tenure and leases relating to low-value assets); • depreciation of right-to-use assets in line with AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipmentinprofit or loss and unwinding of the liability in principal and interest components; • variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are included in the initial measurement of the lease liability using the index or rate at the commencement date; • by applying a practical expedient, a lessee is permitted to elect not to separate non-lease components and instead account for all components as a lease; and • 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: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors or recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application as an adjustment to opening equity on the date of initial application. Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB16willimpacttheGroup'sfinancialstatements, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact. AASB 2014-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). This Standard amends AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements with regards to a parent losing control over a subsidiarythatisnota“business”asdefinedinAASB3to an associate or joint venture, and requires that: • a gain or loss (including any amounts in other comprehensive income (OCI)) be recognised only to the extent of the unrelated investor’s interest in that associate or joint venture; • the remaining gain or loss be eliminated against the carrying amount of the investment in that associate or joint venture; and • any gain or loss from remeasuring the remaining investment in the former subsidiary at fair value also be recognised only to the extent of the unrelated investor’s interest in the associate or joint venture. The remaining gain or loss should be eliminated against the carrying amount of the remaining investment. The application of AASB 2014-10 will result in a change in accounting policies for transactions of loss of control over subsidiaries (involving an associate or joint venture) that are businesses per AASB 3 for which gains or losses were previously recognised only to the extent of the unrelated investor’s interest. The transitional provisions require that the Standard should be applied prospectively to sales or contributions of subsidiaries to associates or joint ventures occurring on or after 1 January 2018. Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 2014-10 may haveanimpactontheGroup’sfinancialstatements,it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact. AASB 2014-1: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (Part E) (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). Part E of this Standard defers the application date of AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2010) to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. This part also makes consequential amendments to 36 | NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 This standard amends AASB 140: Investment Property to clarify that a change in use of a property is evidenced only by acts indicating actual change in use and not merely due to change in management intentions. This standard also amends AASB 128: Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures to provide that the election to measure investment in an associate or joint venture that is held through venture capital organisations or a mutual fund, unit trust and similar entities including investment linked insurance funds at fair value through profitorloss,shouldbemadeatthetimeofinitial recognition of the investment in associate or joint venture. Similarly, the election by an entity that is not an investment entity to retain fair value measurements used by its investment entity associate or joint venture for its subsidiaries, has to be made at the later of: • the date of initial recognition of the associate or joint venture; • date when the investment entity associate or joint venture becomes a parent; and • date when the associate or joint venture becomes an investment entity. The above amendments are required to be retrospectively applied in accordance with AASB 108: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. This standard isnotexpectedtoimpacttheGroup’sfinancialstatements. hedge accounting disclosures set out in AASB 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures, and to AASB 132: Financial Instruments: Presentation to permit irrevocable designation of “own use contracts” as measured at fair value through profitorlossifthedesignationeliminatesorsignificantly reduces an accounting mismatch. This standard is not expectedtoimpacttheGroup'sfinancialstatements. AASB 2016-1: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses (applicable for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017). Thisstandardclarifiesthatdeferredtaxassetrecognition on unrealised losses arising from assets measured at fair valueinthefinancialstatementsshouldcarriedoutafter taking into account any restrictions imposed under tax lawsonthesourceoftaxableprofitsagainstwhichthe deductible temporary differences can be offset. Further thefuturetaxableprofitsshouldnotincludeanyamounts that are reversal of the deductible temporary differences. AASB 2016-1 is not expected to impact the Group’s financialstatementssincethedirectorsbelievethat the Group’s accounting policy for deferred tax asset in relation to assets measured at fair value is already in compliance with the standard. AASB 2016-5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification and Measurement of Share- based Payment Transactions (applicable from 1st January 2018). This standard provides guidance on treatment of vesting conditions in a cash-settled share based payment arrangement that are similar to what has been prescribed for equity settled share based payment arrangements. Italsoclarifiesthat,subjecttocertainexceptions,share based payment transactions with net-settlement feature on accountofwithholdingtaxobligationsshouldbeclassified in entirety as equity settled share based payment. Since the Group does not have a policy of cash-settled share based awards or net-settlement features in equity settled plans, this standard is not expected to impact the Group’sfinancialstatements. AASB 2017-1: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Transfers of Investment Property, Annual Improvements 2014-2016 Cycle and Other Amendments (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018) For NFPs the date of applicability of this standard is 1 January 2019.

As the ELSP and ESIP have similar features to an option, the appropriate approach is to value the plans using an option pricing model. The key details of the Share Plans are as follows: • Only certain employees of the Group are eligible to participant in the Share Plans, which is for fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company. The Company loans the employee an amount equal to the acquisition price of the shares at zero interest. • The loan amount for shares acquired under the ESIP and is repayable in instalments during the three years after the acquisition of shares. • The loan amount for shares acquired under the Share Plans is repayable within 30 days after the 7th anniversary of the date of acquisition of shares. • 1/3ofthesharesarelockeduntilthefifthanniversaryofthedateofacquisitionoftheshares.Afurther1/3ofthe sharesarelockeduntilthesixthanniversaryofthedateofacquisitionoftheshares.Thefinal1/3oftheSharesare locked until the seventh anniversary of the date of acquisition of the shares. • If an employee who is a participant ceases to be an employee during the relevant loan period or prior to the fifthanniversaryofthedateofacquisitionduetodismissaltheshareswillbecome'LeaverShares'andmaybe purchased by the Company or employee pursuant to the put/call option arrangements.
