CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
30 JUNE 2013

The ASX Listing Rules require listed companies to include in their Annual Report a statement disclosing the extent to which they 
have complied with the ASX Best Practice Recommendations in the reporting period. These recommendations are guidelines 
designed to produce an efficiency, quality or integrity outcome. The recommendations are not prescriptive so that if a company 
considers that a recommendation is inappropriate having regard to its own circumstances, the company has the flexibility not to 
follow it. Where a company has not followed all the recommendations, the annual report must identify which recommendations have 
not been followed and give reasons for not following them.

A table has been included at the end of this statement which sets out the ASX Best Practice Recommendations and states whether 
the Company has complied with each recommendation in the reporting period. Where the Company considered it was not 
appropriate to comply with a particular recommendation the reasons are set out in the notes referenced in the table. A full copy of 
the Company’s Corporate Governance Charter is available on the Company’s website at www.fertoz.com

Role of the Board
Generally, the powers and obligations of the Board are governed by the Corporations Act 2001  and the general law. Without limiting 
those matters, the Board expressly considers itself responsible for the following:

1. the appointment of the chairperson, company secretary and the composition of the Board;
2. the appointment of the chief executive officer/managing director, senior management team and key staff (if any), the 
determination of the terms of such appointment (including remuneration and termination) and the review of their performance;
3. formulation, review and approval of the Group’s direction, strategies, business objectives and targets;
4. reviewing, approving and monitoring significant business transactions, including capital expenditure, acquisitions, divestments 
and organisational restructures; 
5. monitoring the Group’s financial performance by reviewing and approving budgets, assessing the Group’s performance against 
budgets and monitoring the adequacy and integrity of financial and other reporting procedures;
6. approving annual, half yearly and quarterly accounts;
7. recommending to shareholders the appointment of the external auditor as and when their appointment or re-appointment is 
required to be approved by them;
8. approving the issue of any shares, options or other securities in the Company (subject to compliance with any applicable ASX 
Listing Rules);
9. ensuring that adequate internal control systems, procedures and standards, including risk management systems, codes of 
conduct and legal compliance and ethical standards, are in place and complied with; and
10. ensuring corporate accountability to shareholders primarily through adopting an effective shareholder communications strategy.

Role of Management
The Board has delegated responsibilities and authorities to the Managing Director / Chief Executive Officer to enable them to 
conduct the Company’s day to day activities. Matters which are not covered by these delegations, such as approvals which exceed 
certain limits or do not form part of the approved budget, require Board approval. An evaluation of the performance of senior 
management will be undertaken on a yearly basis. This is considered to be an appropriate process as the Company is in the 
exploration and evaluation stage therefore it is not possible to evaluate performance against revenue or profit targets.

Board Processes
The Board of Fertoz Limited meets on a regular basis. The agenda for these meetings is prepared by the Managing Director and 
Company Secretary and is approved by the Chairman. Relevant information is circulated to Board members in advance of the 
meetings.

Composition of the Board
At the date of this report the Board comprises of the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer and three non-executive Directors, 
one of whom is the Chairman.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
30 JUNE 2013

The Directors are subject to re-election by shareholders. All Directors, apart from the Managing Director, are subject to re-election 
by rotation within every three years. The Company’s Constitution provides that one-third of the Directors retire by rotation each 
Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM). Those Directors who are retiring may submit themselves for re-election by 
shareholders, including any Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or recruited since the date of the last AGM.  

The current Directors have a broad range of qualifications, experience and expertise in managing mineral exploration companies as 
set out in the Directors section of the Directors’ Report.

Independence of Non-Executive Directors
The Board considers an independent director to be a non-executive director who meets the criteria for independence included in the 
ASX Best Practice Recommendations. The Board considers that Mr P Bennetto and Mr A Byass meet these criteria.

Director Access to Independent Professional Advice
The Company acknowledges that Directors require high quality information and advice on which to base their decisions and 
considerations. With the prior approval of the Board, all Directors have the right to seek independent legal and other professional 
advice at the Company’s expense concerning any aspect of the Company's operations or undertakings in order to fulfil their duties 
and responsibilities as directors. If the Chairman is unable or unwilling to give approval, Board approval will be sufficient.  

Company Materiality Threshold
The Board acknowledges that assessment on materiality and subsequent appropriate thresholds are subjective and open to 
change. 

The Board has considered quantitative, qualitative and cumulative factors when determining the materiality of a specific relationship 
of directors. 

Ethical Standards
As part of the Board’s commitment to the highest standard of conduct, the Company adopts a code of conduct to guide the Board, 
executives, management and employees in carrying out their duties and responsibilities. The code of conduct covers such matters 
as:
• responsibilities to shareholders;
• compliance with laws and regulations;
• conflicts of interest;
• ethical responsibilities;
• Occupational health and safety; and
• responsibility to the environment and the community.

Board Committees 
As at the date of this report, the Company does not have an Audit & Risk Management Committee, Remuneration Committee, or 
Nomination Committee of the Board of Directors. The full Board of Directors undertake the role of the Committees. Given the 
composition of the Board and the size of the Company, it is felt that separate Committees are not yet warranted, however it is 
expected that as the Company’s operations expand the needs in this regard will be monitored.  However, the Company does have 
an Audit and Risk Committee Charter, Remuneration Committee Charter and Nomination Committee Charter which the Board has 
adopted.

Continuous Disclosure and Shareholder Communication
The Board is committed to the promotion of investor confidence by ensuring that trading in the Company’s securities takes place in 
an efficient, competitive and informed market. In accordance with continuous disclosure requirements under the ASX Listing Rules, 
the Company has procedures in place to ensure that all price sensitive information is identified, reviewed by management and 
disclosed to the ASX in a timely manner. All information disclosed to the ASX is posted on the Company’s website www.fertoz.com.

Shareholders are forwarded documents, according to their communication preferences as notified to the Share Registrar, including 
Notices to each Annual General Meeting or General Meeting held during each year, the Annual Report of the Company, Notice of 
Meetings and Explanatory Memorandum and Proxy Forms, and are invited to attend each shareholder meeting. The Company’s 
External Auditor is also invited and is present at Annual General Meetings to answer any queries shareholders may have with regard 
to the audit and preparation and content of the Audit Report.

The Company actively encourages shareholders to provide their email contact details so that they can receive all ASX releases as 
they are released to the market.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
30 JUNE 2013

Managing Business Risk
The Board, in line with the Audit & Risk Management Committee Charter, constantly monitors the operational and financial aspects 
of the Company’s activities and has delegated to the Managing Director the responsibility for designing and implementing a risk 
management system for the ongoing review of business risks that could affect the Company.  
Arrangements put in place by the Board to monitor risk management include:
(i) monthly reporting by senior management to the Board in respect of operations and the financial position and performance of the 
Group;
(ii) preparation of quarterly rolling forecasts by senior management for the Board; 
(iii) circulation to the Board of minutes of each Committee meeting and reports (at least once a year) of each Committee’s 
chairperson; and
(iv) the development of a risk register which provides a framework for systematically understanding, identifying and analysing the 
types of business risks to the Group (as a whole or to specific business activities) and forming an action plan in respect of those 
risks.

The Managing Director and senior management team are accountable for strategic risk management within areas under their 
control, including assigning risk management duties to operational managers.  Collectively, the senior management team is 
responsible for:
(i) formal identification of strategic risks that impact the Group’s business;
(ii) development of strategic risk management plans; 
(iii) allocation of priorities of risk management tasks; 
(iv) review of risk management tasks against plans; and
(v) reporting quarterly to the Board on the progress of risk management tasks.

The Board will continue to review on a yearly basis the appropriateness of the risk management framework to ensure the Company 
adequately monitors its risks given the size and nature of the activities the Company is undertaking.  In accordance with section 
259A of the Corporations Act 2001 , the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer have provided a declaration to the Board 
that:
• In their view information provided in the Company’s financial report is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal 
compliance and control which implements the financial policies adopted by the Board; and 
• The Company’s risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating effectively in all material respects.

It is noted that the assurance from the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer can only be reasonable and not absolute due 
to the level of judgement required, the limitations of sampling and the difficulty in designing systems to detect all weaknesses in 
internal control procedures.

Board Performance Evaluations
An evaluation of the Board’s performance is undertaken annually by the Board. This is an internal process and does not involve 
external review of the Board or its performance. 

Trading Policy
In addition to the prohibition on insider trading under the Corporations Act 2001  (Cth), all directors and employees must observe 
and comply with the Company’s Securities Trading Policy. 

ASX Best Practice Recommendations
The table below summarises the Company’s compliance with the ASX Best Practice Recommendations at the date of this report.  
Where the Company has complied with a recommendation during the reporting period, this is indicated with a “Yes” in the 
appropriate column and the policy is contained in the Company’s Corporate Governance Charter available on the Company’s 
website at www.fertoz.com. Where the Company considered it was not appropriate to comply with a particular recommendation, this 
is indicated with a “No” and the Company’s reasons.

Notes
1. The Company has compiled relevant corporate governance documentation, such as charters, codes of conduct, and policies, 
which have been placed on the Company’s website at www.fertoz.com under the heading “Corporate Governance”.  Due to the 
Company listing on the 2nd September 2013 no formal performance evaluation of senior executives has taken place to date. Future 
annual reports will disclose whether such a performance has taken place in the relevant reporting period and whether it was in 
accordance with the process disclosed.
2. As at the date of this report, the Company does not have a majority of independent directors or an Independent director as 
Chairman.  The Board considers the Company is not currently of a size, or its affairs of such complexity, to justify the establishment 
of these two requirements 
3. As at the date of this report, the Company does not have an a Nomination Committee of the Board of Directors The Board as a 
whole undertakes the process of reviewing the skill base and experience of existing Directors to enable identification or attributes 
required in new Directors. Where appropriate, independent consultants will be engaged to identify possible new candidates for the 
Board. 
4. The disclosure has not yet been made as the first year as a listed company has not been completed. Future annual reports will 
disclose the proportion of women employees in the whole organisation, women in senior executive positions and women on the 
Board.
5. The Board considers the Company is not currently of a size, or its financial affairs of such complexity, to justify the establishment 
of an audit committee. The Board as a whole is responsible for the selection and proper application of accounting policies, the 
integrity of financial reporting, the identification and management of risk and review of operation of the internal control systems.  
Whilst the Board is not structured in the manner set out in the Principles and Recommendations, the Board is of the view that the 
experience and professionalism of the persons on the Board is sufficient to ensure that all significant matters are appropriately 
addressed and actioned. Further the Board does not consider that the Company is of sufficient size to justify the appointment of 
additional Directors for the sole purpose of satisfying the Recommendations as it would be cost prohibitive. As the operations of the 
Company develop the Board will reassess the formation of the Audit Committee.
6. The Company’s Corporate Governance Plan includes a risk management policy. The Board will require the chief executive officer 
to provide a report at the relevant time.
7. The Board considers the Company is not currently of a size, or its financial affairs of such complexity, to justify the establishment 
of a remuneration committee. The Board as a whole is responsible for the remuneration arrangements for the Directors and 
executives of the Company and considers it more appropriate to set aside time at Board meetings each year to specifically address 
matters that would ordinarily fall to a Remuneration Committee.
Remuneration to the executive directors and senior management is by way of salary and performance options and to the non-
executive directors by way of director fees and performance options, with the level of salary, fees or options as the context requires, 
having been set by the Board to an amount it considers to be commensurate for a company of its size and level of activity.
The Company will assess the relationship between performance and remuneration, once the Company commences operations. 
Further there are no schemes for retirement benefits in existence.

ACN 145 951 622

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 
'consolidated entity') consisting of Fertoz Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it 
controlled for the year ended 30 June 2013.

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

Mr James Chisholm 
Mr Leslie Szonyi
Mr Peter Bennetto
Mr Adrian Byass (appointed on 4 September 2012)

Principal activities
During the financial year the principal activity of the consolidated entity consisted of phosphate exploration, on its 100% owned 
assets in Canada and Australia. There were no significant changes in the principal activities of the consolidated entity.

The Company’s aim is to become a fertilizer producer initially supplying Canadian / USA markets. The
Company’s strategy is:

a)

b)

 to undertake the evaluation of its exploration tenements at Wapiti, Barnes Lake and Crows Nest in Canada in order to 
identify any potential Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) projects which are capable of generating early cash flow with relatively low 
capital cost;

to pursue the joint venture or sale of its early stage exploration projects so that the Company can focus on its Canadian 
projects;

c)

to evaluate and identify low capital cost production strategies that would differentiate it from other phosphate companies.

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 and non-controlling interest amounted to $1,867,270 (2012: 
$906,553).

The consolidated entity made significant progress during the financial year in progressing its phosphate exploration projects and 
reshaping its exploration portfolio in preparation for an initial public offer on the Australian Securities Exchange. 

Fertoz completed a field programing on its flagship Wapiti East Project during the financial year consisting of reconnaissance 
rock sampling followed up by a small diamond drilling program. The surface sampling program and subsequent core drilling in 
October 2012 was able to produce encouraging results. Grab samples assayed up to 35.5% P₂O₅ and a section in Hole WF-12-
03 returned a weighted average of 20.03 % P₂O₅ over a width of 1.45 metres at a depth of 12.66 metres.

Consistent with the Company’s strategy of focusing on its North American assets Fertoz relinquished a number of tenements in 
the Northern Territory and sold to FSL Corporation Pty Ltd the Winnecke and some of the Barkley tenements for $250,000 (GST 
exclusive), which was settled on 24 May 2013. 

Significant changes in the state of affairs
Significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year were as follows:

Issued capital increased by $1,663,979 (from $3,265,416 to $4,929,395) as the result of various share issues. Details of the 
changes in issued capital are disclosed in note 10 to the financial statements.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year.

FERTOZ LIMITED 
ACN 145 951 622

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
The Company raised $4,000,000 (before costs) and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange on the 2nd September 2013 
resulting in the issue of 20,000,000 ordinary shares taking the total issued capital of the Company to 45,009,595 Ordinary 
Shares.

Apart from the matter discussed above, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2013 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
The Company is focused on the exploration of Wapiti, Crows Nest and Barnes Lake deposits in British Columbia Canada.  The 
Company commenced exploration in September 2013 and intends to announce the results of that exploration as it progresses. 
The company will also seek to joint venture or sell its Australian assets to allow the company to focus its available  funds on 
exploration and development activities in Canada.

Environmental regulation
The consolidated entity is subject to environmental regulations under laws of Queensland, Australia, Northern Territory, Australia 
and British Columbia, Canada where it holds mineral exploration tenements. During the financial year the consolidated entity’s 
activities recorded no non-compliance issues.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Remuneration report (audited)
The remuneration report, which has been audited, outlines the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the 
consolidated entity, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.

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

A  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
B  Details of remuneration
C  Service agreements
D  Share-based compensation
E  Additional information

A     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 conforms to the market best practice for 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 undertakes the responsibilities of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and is responsible for determining and 
reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives. The performance of the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity.

Alignment to shareholders' interests:
●  a focus on sustained growth in share price and key non-financial drivers of value
●  attracts and retains high calibre executives

Alignment to program participants' interests:
●  rewards capability and experience
●  reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth
●  provides a clear structure for earning rewards

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive directors and executive remunerations are 
separate.

Non-executive directors remuneration
Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of the directors. 
Non-executive directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Board may, from time to time, receive 
advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in 
line with the market. 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 determination of his own 
remuneration. Non-executive directors receive share options to ensure alignment with the Boards responsibility of creating 
shareholder wealth. The remuneration for the non-executive directors including the Chairman has been set at $36,000 per year.

ASX listing rules require the aggregate non-executive director’s remuneration be determined periodically by a general meeting. 
The most recent determination was at the General Meeting held on 29 May 2012, where the shareholders approved an aggregate 
remuneration of $250,000.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Remuneration report (audited) (continued)
Executive remuneration
The consolidated entity aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration based on their position and responsibility, 
which is both fixed and variable.

The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components:
●  base pay and non-monetary benefits
●  short-term performance incentives
●  share-based payments
●  other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave

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

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

Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) 
where it does not create any additional costs to the consolidated entity and provides additional value to the executive. 

The Company does not have short-term incentives ('STI') at this time.

Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration
Because the consolidated entity is in exploration and not production, there is no direct relationship between the consolidated 
entity’s financial performance and the level of remuneration paid to key management personnel.

The link between remuneration, company performance and shareholder wealth generation is tenuous, particularly in the 
exploration and development stage of a minerals company. Share prices are subject to the influence of international phosphate 
prices and market sentiment towards the sector and increases or decreases may occur independently of executive performance 
or remuneration. 

Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration (continued)
The company may issue options to provide an incentive for key management personnel which, it is believed, is in line with industry 
standards and practice and is also believed to align the interests of key management personnel with those of the company’s 
shareholders.

Use of remuneration consultants
The company did not engage remuneration consultants during the financial year ended 30 June 2013.

Voting and comments made at the company's 2012 Annual General Meeting ('AGM')
The consolidated entity was not listed on the Australian Securities Exchange at the time of the 2012 AGM, hence the  
remuneration report was not required to be presented to shareholders at that time.  This remuneration report will be presented to 
shareholders at the 2013 AGM.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Proceedings on behalf of the company
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001  for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of 
the company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf 
of the company for all or part of those proceedings.

Non-audit services
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor are 
outlined in note 3 to the financial statements.

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another person or 
firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations 
Act 2001 .

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 3 to the financial statements do not compromise the external 
auditor’s independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 

● all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the 
auditor, and
● none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics 
for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing 
the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the company, acting as advocate for the company 
or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Note 1 - Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have 
been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated:

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

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

Any significant impact on the accounting policies of the consolidated entity from the adoption of these Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations are disclosed below. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant 
impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.

General information
The financial report covers Fertoz Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of Fertoz Limited and the entities it controlled. The 
financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is Fertoz Limited's functional and presentation currency.

The financial report consists of the financial statements, notes to the financial statements and the directors' declaration.

Fertoz Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

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 report.

The financial report was authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 30 September 2013. The directors 
have the power to amend and reissue the financial report.

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 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.

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 as a separate policy.

Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business 
activities and the realisation of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business.

As disclosed in the financial statements, the Group recorded a operating loss of $1,867,270 and the net cash outflows from 
operating activities of $422,409 for the year ended 30 June 2013.

The Group has a working capital surplus at 30 June 2013 of $1,127,926 and expenditure commitments for the next 12 months of 
$200,000 as detailed in note 19. 

Subsequent to the year end, the company raised $4,000,000 before costs as a result of issuing 20,000,000 ordinary shares and a 
listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Note 1 - Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Basis of consolidation
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.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Fertoz Limited ('company' or 
'parent entity') as at 30 June 2013 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Fertoz 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 the power to govern the financial and operating policies, 
generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The effects of potential exercisable voting 
rights are considered when assessing whether control exists. 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.

Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make 
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, 
liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including 
expectation of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and that are believed to be reasonable under the 
circumstances.  The estimates and judgements that have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts 
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

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 by its sale; or 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.

Revenue
Revenue is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and recognised when the service is provided, 
or ownership of the product has passed to the customer.

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Note 1 - Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income Tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable 
income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary 
differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are 
recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

●  When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a 
transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable 
profits; or

●  When the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, 
and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable 
future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future 
taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed each reporting date. Deferred tax assets 
recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying 
amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there 
are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against 
current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either 
the same taxable entity or different taxable entity's which intend to settle simultaneously.

Impairment 
Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount 
may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its 
recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present 
value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating 
unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating 
unit.

Financial assets
Financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for 
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value 
depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on the purpose of the acquisition and subsequent 
reclassification to other categories is restricted. 

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been 
transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are 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 ii) designated as such upon initial recognition, where they are managed on 
a fair value basis or to eliminate or significantly reduce an accounting mismatch. Except for effective hedging instruments, 
derivatives are also categorised as fair value through profit or loss. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Note 1 - Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Financial assets (continued)
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets, principally equity securities, that are either designated as 
available-for-sale or not classified as any other category. After initial recognition, fair value movements are recognised in other 
comprehensive income through the available-for-sale reserve in equity. Cumulative gain or loss previously reported in the 
available-for-sale reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.

Impairment of financial assets
The consolidated entity assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial 
asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Objective evidence includes significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor; a 
breach of contract such as default or delinquency in payments; the lender granting to a borrower concessions due to economic or 
legal reasons that the lender would not otherwise do; it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other 
financial reorganisation; the disappearance of an active market for the financial asset; or observable data indicating that there is a 
measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows. 

The amount of the impairment allowance for financial assets carried at cost is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount 
and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for similar financial assets.

Available-for-sale financial assets are considered impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in value below 
initial cost. Subsequent increments in value are recognised in other comprehensive income through the available-for-sale 
reserve.

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

Trade and other receivables
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.

Property, Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost, including costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and 
condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, less depreciation and any 
impairments. 

Depreciation on assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life, as follows:

- Furniture, fittings and equipment                   3 - 8 years

Trade and Other Payables

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

Borrowings
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently 
measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is 
recognised in profit or loss over the period of the loans and borrowings using the effective interest method.

All borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for 
at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Note 1 - Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Issued Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options 
are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)
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.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

Share based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, 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 independently determined using 
either the Binomial or 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 
consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting 
conditions.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are 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 cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the 
Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was 
granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:

●  during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired 
portion of the vesting period.
●  from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting 
date.

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle 
the liability.

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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Note 1 - Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Share based payments (continued)
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An 
additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the 
share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated 
as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the 
vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is 
forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is 
recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is 
treated as if they were a modification.

Comparatives
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current financial period.

Foreign currency translation
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is Fertoz Limited's functional and presentational 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.

Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting 
date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, 
which approximate the rate at the date of the transaction, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised 
in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

Note 2 - Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The consolidated entity was organised into one operating segment, primarily being phosphate exploration in Australia. This 
operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as 
the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

More recently, the consolidated entity has shifted the focus of its exploration activities to areas of interest in Canada.

The consolidated entity's geographical information is as follows:

The Board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework which is 
summarised below:

Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised 
financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets, net of any provision for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the statement of 
financial position and notes to the financial statements. The Group's cash at bank is deposited with the Commonwealth Bank of 
Australia. Other than this the Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors 
under financial instruments entered into by the Group.

Note 12 - Financial instruments (continued)
Liquidity risk
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

The carrying value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximate their respective net 
fair values.

Note 13 - Capital risk management

The Board's policy is to maintain a strong base so to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future 
development of the business. As an emerging explorer, the Group does not establish a return on capital. Capital management 
requires the maintenance of strong cash balance to support on going exploration.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of share options outstanding at 30 June 2013 was 4.2 years (2012: 5.2 years).

The weighted average fair value of options granted during year ended 30 June 2013 prior to the share consolidation on 4 April 
2013 was 4.0 cents (2012: 4.1 cents). The fair value at grant date was determined by the Company using a Black-Scholes option 
pricing model that takes into account the share price at grant date, exercise price, expected volatility, option life, the risk free rate, 
and the fact that the options are not tradeable. The inputs used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options granted 
during the year ended 30 June 2013 prior to the share consolidation on 4 April 2013 were as follows:

- Grant date
- Expiry date
- Market price at grant date
- Exercise price
- Expected volatility
- Dividend yield

At 30 June 2013, 10,615,284 (2012: 16,000,000 pre consolidation) options were outstanding which could potentially dilute basic 
earnings per share in the future. Because there is a loss from continuing operations, these would have an anti-dilutive effect and 
therefore diluted earnings per share is the same as the basic earnings per share.

Note 22 - Events subsequent to reporting date

On 2 September 2013, Fertoz Limited listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), resulting in the issue of 20,000,000 
ordinary shares for $4,000,000 before costs.

No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year that will significantly affect, or may significantly 
affect the group’s operations, the results of those operations or the group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

To the members of Fertoz Ltd 

Report on the Financial Report 

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Fertoz Ltd, which comprises the consolidated 
statement of financial position as at 30 June 2013, 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, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting 
policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity 
comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the 
financial year.  

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report 

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a 
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to 
fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 
Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International 
Financial Reporting Standards.  

Auditor’s Responsibility  

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our 
audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with 
relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.   

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in 
the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the 
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. 
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s 
preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures 
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the 
effectiveness of the company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness 
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as 
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.   

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