sustainable land management company with ESG leadership focused on 

developing two clearly defined business units: organic farm inputs and 

nature-based carbon credit generation from projects developed and 

managed by Fertoz Carbon. 

Fertoz Carbon started strongly with two drone seeded forestry trials 

completed in British Columbia, Canada and West Virginia, USA and 

the first “carbon-in-soil” protocols successfully registered in Canada.

Fertoz Carbon announced the first partnerships in July 2021 to accelerate 

Fertiliser sales recorded in North America were at record levels including 

the development of this new growth opportunity. MOU’s were signed

with Trimble Inc (NASDAQ: TRMB) to provide software and consulting 

quality ore to the sales mix. Solid sales volumes achieved in the Australia/

assistance to establish carbon protocols focused on carbon in annual 

Asian operation contributed to the result. 

The fertiliser division continues to expand, with the addition of two 

new sales personnel in the USA expanding the geographic reach of our 

sales team. We formed an exciting new partnership with Western Alfalfa 

row crops and soils. These protocols will utilise Trimble’s blockchain for 

secure reporting of all farm acres signed to a range of planned protocols 

designed to provide additional income to farmers and to improve soil 

health wherever the practices are adopted, ultimately globally.

The first protocol was announced in December 2021, a “no-till 

full spectrum organic approved NPKS fertiliser for use in regenerative and 

conservation protocol” allowing Canadian farmers to generate carbon 

sustainable agricultural applications. This is a North American first and

and generated under this protocol are tracked, measured, verified, 

and registered to the Canadian central registry and enter the voluntary 

market with Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) the contracted buyer of these 

nature-based carbon credits managed by Fertoz Carbon.

Protocols in development include:

consulting services in carbon sequestration programs. Brightspot, a 

leading Canadian consultancy, will work closely with Fertoz Carbon 

to develop projects through to verification stage, applying innovative 

solutions that in turn assist in mitigating climate change. DataPLP, a data 

services company, will provide valuable proprietary software used to 

evaluate satellite data across the agricultural and environmental space, 

generating valuable analytics for better project level decision making. 

As Fertoz enters 2022, we are witnessing a volatile start to the year 

in the agricultural sector in all the markets in which the Company 

operates. According to commodity consulting group CRU, prices for 

raw materials that constitute the conventional, synthetic fertilizer 

marketplace - ammonia, nitrogen, phosphates, potash, and sulphates 

- are all up approximately 30% since the start of 2022. Further to this,

Fertoz is capitalising on the fact that North America is heavily reliant 

on the importing of phosphate rock from countries including Morocco, 

South America, Russia and Saudi Arabia. Fertoz supplies the North 

American farm sector from deposits and stockpiles located close to 

the farming customer and is beginning to display this competitive 

advantage, as sales in Q1 2022 are materially higher year-on-year. 

Management remains confident that these trends should see 2022 

exceed the 2021 year with a record volume of fertiliser sales. 

The carbon division has already signed acres under the no-till protocol 

and as such Fertoz Carbon is developing a recurring income stream 

for the Group. The carbon team is working hard to bring additional 

protocols to market in 2022 and also commence commercial carbon

OPERATIONS REVIEW

COMPANY OVERVIEW

GLOBAL TEMPERATURE & CARBON DIOXIDE

Fertoz Limited (ASX: FTZ) is a sustainable land management company. 

Fertoz provides investors with exposure to growth in the organic 

food sector and a direct exposure to the carbon markets as an 

emerging project developer and manager of carbon projects globally. 

Management has focused on developing a significant organic farm 

inputs business and establishing a growing nature-based carbon credit 

portfolio from developed and managed carbon projects.

A key factor driving Fertoz’s entry into global carbon markets and 

project development has been the setting of the “net zero” targets 

by 2050 by governments and companies worldwide. This is no longer 

the domain of scientists or environmental groups. In a bid to limit 

global warming governments, companies and investors are making 

commitments to reach these “net zero” targets staged by 2030 and  

zero by 2050. 

Fertoz is positioning its carbon division to develop and manage both 

farm based and reforestation carbon projects, generating valuable 

nature-based carbon credits. The Fertoz board believe that high 

quality credits will remain an important tool in decarbonisation efforts, 

compounding the favourable supply and demand dynamics of this 

emerging industry. 

ESG FOCUS 

Fertoz’s focus will develop well beyond just developing carbon credits. 

Fertoz carbon projects will improve livelihoods through better land 

management practices and traceable food supply chains, ultimately 

reducing or eliminating the use of chemicals in the farming sector. 

Reforestation will empower local villages and communities with 

employment opportunities and provide for funding streams (from 

carbon credit sales) and community infrastructure benefits. The 

reforestation projects will also have a strong focus on restoring 

biodiversity and animal life, improving soil erosion and improving  

water quality.

Formation of Fertoz  
Carbon to directly  
combat climate change

Fertoz is partnering with farmers and landowners to 
fundamentally change agriculture and land management  
for the better. 

PROSPERITY

Partnership approach ensures 
wealth distribution and  
personal opportunity

Fertoz products improve soil health, increase plant growth 
and thus sequester more carbon in the soil and in the plant, 
whether that soil and those plants are on farms, in forests or 
grazing land for cattle

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES 

1. 

Fertoz has secured the majority of high grade, low impurity rock 

phosphate deposits in North America and has had those deposits 

certified organic at all the key Federal and State Authorities.

2. 

The phosphate deposits/stockpiles contain significant tonnage to 

meet decades of anticipated supply and demand

3.  Our facilities and contracted processing facilities throughout 

western North America are located close to a huge grower base

4. 

Fertoz’s 8+ years running multiple crop and soil trials gives us an 

important understanding and advantage to develop protocols 

for registration with carbon regulators focusing on plant and soil 

sequestration advantages utilising best practice regenerative and 

sustainable farming methods

5. 

Fertoz is rapidly advancing carbon program protocols, contracts 

with our partner Trimble, contracts with fertilizer dealers and 

growers that purchase our rock phosphate products. 

We have an inputs business and years of lab tests, soil tests, trials 
and actual production on farms – we can prove the benefits of 
using our products and we now offer additional services in carbon 
management, carbon credit generation and trading

Our products increase plant growth and thus CO2 sequestration;  
our products  can be blended with synthetic/conventional 
fertilizers to reduce overall CO2 emissions (1t of nitrous oxide from 
conventional nitrogen fertilizers is equivalent to 296t of CO2)

Importantly, our products facilitate discussions in carbon 
emissions reduction – from sequestering more CO2 from plant 
growth, to reforesting unused areas on farms, to improving the 
efficiency of cattle production thus reducing methane emissions 
from herds (1t of methane is equivalent to 25t of CO2)

FERTILISER DIVISION 

North America

Fertoz Limited (ASX: FTZ) is a sustainable land management company. 

Fertoz provides investors with exposure to growth in the organic 

food sector and a direct exposure to the carbon markets as an 

emerging project developer and manager of carbon projects globally. 

Management has focused on developing a significant organic farm 

inputs business and establishing a growing nature-based carbon credit 

portfolio from developed and managed carbon projects. 

Fertoz North America ended 2021 achieving record annual sales in line 

with the budgeted 10,000 tonnes, delivering year-on-year (YoY) growth 

in excess of 240% in tonnes sold in 2021. Sales revenue was a record 

$2.09 million. Included in the $2.09 million is $943,000 of sales income 

that has been offset against capitalised exploration and evaluation 

expenditure, as the sale of this product is part of the bulk sampling 

and evaluation phase for the tenements from which it was taken. This 

accounting treatment is in accordance with Australian accounting 

standards. 

Inventory mined and held over to the 2022 season was a record 16,000 

tonnes, ensuring adequate fertilizer for Q1/Q2 2022. The granulator 

currently being installed at the Centennial site in Butte, Montana will 

commence granulation of rock phosphate for sale from May 2022 

Fertoz continues to develop various product blends to suit different 

customer demands, soil conditions and regional applications. 

Fertoz now markets 15 blends in North America from various sized rock 

phosphate, granulated rock phosphate, finemesh powder for fertigation 

applications and the recently launched organic NPKS range of blends. 

Launching in 2022 will be a range of Humi (K) phosphate blends aimed 

at improving soil health, increasing soil microbiology and activity 

including increasing carbon in the soil. 

Fertoz has increased 2022 pricing across the range of blends by 

approximately 20%, recognising increased processing and transport 

costs and challenges in supply chain logistics. Fertoz is investigating 

more cost-effective solutions including rail to ease cost pressures on 

farmers. This will result in savings delivered to buyers and make Fertoz 

more widely available to large dealer networks and partner distributors 

for organic fertilisers. 

Fertoz will continue to expand its market share of organic acres in 

North America and increasingly push into regenerative and sustainable 

fertiliser solutions targeting conventional farming operations and 

offering a superior environmental solution to farmers substituting the 

use of chemically developed synthetic fertilisers.

2. 

Removal credits that actively capture GHG emissions 

(reforestation/ afforestation) 

Research already highlights the success of removal credits (with forestry 

and renewables driving these removals of CO2), however, together with 

that approach, Fertoz Carbon sees a significant opportunity in reducing 

or avoiding GHG emissions (agricultural focused) by developing and 

having approved practical and measurable protocols that farmers 

and those in the agricultural industry can adapt and manage for the 

reduction and/or removal of GHG emissions from farm based activities.

In December 2021, Fertoz Carbon together with its partner Trimble 

Inc (NASDAQ: TRMB), successfully registered a “no-till conservation 

cropping” protocol with the Canadian Registry. A shift from conventional 

farming to conservation cropping increases carbon sequestered in 

the soil. Fertoz Carbon expects first acres contracted and first carbon 

income in 1H 2022 under this protocol. 

Trimble Inc has contracted Microsoft Corporation to purchase all 

carbon credits under the “no-till” protocol program. Fertoz Carbon, 

together with Trimble Inc, is finalising for approval in Canada a Nitrous 

Oxide Emission Reduction protocol. This will focus on a new protocol 

that better manages nitrogen practices and applications on Canadian 

farms. The focus of the protocol is developing farm rules that result in 

more efficient use of nitrogen, less run off and leaching and therefore 

improved environmental impacts. The Company’s research indicates 

that utilising Fertoz-developed “NPKS Nutrient Vigour Plus” fertiliser 

offers the potential to enhance carbon credit availability under the 

protocol, and could materially improve the environmental impacts 

versus synthetic fertilisers. 

Fertoz Carbon is actively researching and developing further carbon 

protocols in house. Studies are underway using rock phosphate to lower 

Scope 3 emissions from fertiliser production. The manufacturing of rock 

phosphate omits materially less CO2 than those emissions generated 

from the production of chemical fertilisers. 

In October 2021, Fertoz Carbon engaged Strongfield Environmental 

to drone seed and fertilise (rock phosphate) two trial sites: BC Canada 

and West Virginia, USA. The trial was utilised to access the data on 

the effectiveness of drone seeding reforestation projects, determining 

initial seedling yields and potentially substantially lowering the cost of 

establishing reforestation projects in North America. 

Fertoz Carbon continues to access suitable land, partners, local villages 

and communities and project economics on carbon forestry projects 

targeting North America, South America, and Asia. Fertoz Carbon 

expects to announce the first commercial forestry projects in  

calendar 2022. 

SAFETY

There were no lost time injuries or environmental incidents recorded 

during the 12 months ending 31 December 2021. 

OUTLOOK

North America

As we have demonstrated, Fertoz has worked to build a sustainability-

based product supply company. The Company’s 2021 achievements 

indicate the growth, focus, execution and cash positive direction. While 

we are the top rock phos products provider in North America, we have 

added the Fertoz Carbon programs that look to deliver growth, acres, 

tonnes and carbon trading revenues. 2022 is well underway, but our 

focus is:

1. Capitalize on the disrupted global supply of phosphate and supply 

chains.  We can offer quality products and blends at a far better price 

per pound of nutrient and freight.  

2. Mining - Extract from our Wapiti mine. Supply eastern central BC 

and western, central Alberta. Extract from Fernie BC, and our leases 

in western Alberta, to supply southern AB and Saskatchewan, as well 

as the Pacific Northwest. Expand and extend our supply contract in 

Deerlodge, Montana. Our Monterrey, Mexico mine is expanding and we 

are requesting larger volumes.

3. Processing - Focusing on reducing costs and working in close 

coordination with our facilities in western AB, southern AB, Montana, 

Idaho, Utah and Mexico.     

4. Transportation - as noted extensively above, supply chain disruptions, 

globally and in North America, will persist for several years. We will 

continue to expand our use of rail and ensure that we have a chain of 

contract processing facilities in our major sales regions.

5. Sales - In 2021, we picked up a number of new customers. Even in the 

first few months of 2022, we have added 5-10 new, large customers.  All 

have noted that they are trying Fertoz products due to the high costs of 

conventional synthetic fertilizer, or non-competitive freight rates. 

We think this growth trend will continue.

As we look at 1-2-3-year projections and sales, we plan to:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

increase and develop our rock supplies

improve processing locations and costs

greatly expand our carbon programs, acres, tonnes, and revenues

add staff to provide excellent coverage and customer service

improve our accounting, supply chain and tracking systems to 

double and triple our current volumes

costs. Sales are expected to exceed 2022 budget figures but have been 

affected by extensive flooding in NSW and Queensland.

Several opportunities in Australia and Asia are being investigated to 

generate carbon income through the sale of carbon dioxide equivalent 

tonnes. It is expected these will be generated from improvements in 

agriculture and planting trees.

Cover cropping, no-till practices and reforestation can all increase the 

amount of carbon credits available to farmers. Production of Fertoz 

products is low carbon intensity, allowing farmers to secure more 

carbon credits for their crops. Fertoz products enhance growth leading 

to more sequestration of carbon.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) 
The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the consolidated entity, in 
accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.

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 the delivery of reward. The Board of 
Directors (“the Board”) ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices: 

● 
● 
● 
● 

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

The Board 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.  

● 
● 

The framework seeks to align performance to shareholders' interests by: 
having economic profit as a core component of plan design 
focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers 
of value 
attracting and retaining high calibre executives  

● 

and aligns the program participants' interests by: 
rewarding capability and experience 
reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth 
providing 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 and responsibilities of their role. 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.  

Non-executive directors receive share options to ensure alignment with the Boards responsibility of creating shareholder 
wealth. The remuneration for the non-executive directors has been set at $36,000 per annum.  

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 Annual General Meeting held on 29 May 2012, where the shareholders approved an 
aggregate remuneration of $250,000 per annum.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

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 has both fixed and variable components. 

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 payable to eligible employees 

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

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Board, 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 consolidated entity does not have short-term incentives ('STI') at this time 

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. 

Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration 
The consolidated entity’s remuneration framework is designed to attract, retain and motivate those people who can drive 
Fertoz’ culture and deliver its business strategy and supports alignment to long term overall company performance and 
creation of shareholder value. Remuneration packages are structured that rewards meeting individual, business unit and the 
entity’s targets and objectives, including maximising returns for shareholders. 

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. 

The earnings of the consolidated entity for the year ended 30 June 2018, six months ended 31 December 2018 and years ended 
31 December 2019, 2020 and 2021 are summarised below:

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

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 
Amounts paid or payable to BDO Services Pty Ltd, a related company of the auditor, for non-audit services provided during the 
year ended 31 December 2021 by the auditor related to preparation of the tax return and taxation advice of $8,100 (2020: 
$9,457). 

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 20 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. 

Officers of the company who are former partners of BDO Audit Pty Ltd 
There are no officers of the company who are former partners of BDO Audit Pty Ltd.

Leases 
Right-of-use assets 
A right-of-use asset is recognized at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which 
comprises  the  initial  amount  of  the  lease  liability,  adjusted  for,  as  applicable,  any  lease  payments  made  at  or  before  the 
commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the 
cost  of  inventories,  an  estimate  of  costs  expected  to  be  incurred  for  dismantling  and  removing  the  underlying  asset,  and 
restoring the site or asset. 
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life 
of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the 
end  of  the  lease  term,  the  depreciation  is  over  its  estimated  useful  life.  Right-of  use  assets  are  subject  to  impairment  or 
adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. 
The group has elected not to recognize a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms 
of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. 

Lease liabilities 
A lease liability is recognized at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognized at the present value 
of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that 
rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed 
payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected 
to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably 
certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a 
rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if 
there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; 
lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is 
made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written 
down.

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued) 

Going Concern (continued) 

These conditions give rise to material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Group’s ability to continue as a 

going concern. 

• 

• 

• 

The directors believe that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate due to the following reasons:  

The group has a cash balance of $5,196,846 

proven ability of the Group to raise the necessary funding or settle debts via the issuance of shares; and 

the  group  is  operating  an  expanding  rock  phosphate  and  organic  fertilizer  business  and  plans  to  continue  to 

expand this business in the coming year. 

Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities 

other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial report. This financial 

report  does  not  include  any  adjustments  relating  to  the  recoverability  and  classification  of  recorded  asset  amounts  or  the 

amounts or classification of liabilities and appropriate disclosures that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue 

as a going concern. 

Short term lease 

The Group has a short-term office lease arrangement that is a month-to-month lease. The lease arrangement is such that, 

either party to the contract can give notice to terminate the arrangement or the contract does not oblige either party to make 

a payment on termination. As a result, the Group has assessed the lease arrangement to be non- enforceable, therefore 

continues to recognise any lease payments as an expense through the profit or loss.  

Note 3. Operating segments 

Identification of reportable operating segments 

The consolidated entity is organised into two operating segments based on geographical location being Australian and 

Canadian operations, reflected by the subsidiaries in the Group. These operating segments are 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. 

The CODM reviews earnings before and after tax. The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are 

consistent with those adopted in the financial statements. 

Where applicable, corporate costs, finance costs, interest revenue, tax and foreign currency gains and losses are not allocated 

to segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of the segments and are managed on a consolidated entity 

basis thus disclosed under unallocated category

Price risk 

The policy of the consolidated entity is to sell phosphate-based fertilizer at the spot price and it has not entered into any 

hedging contracts. The consolidated entity's revenues were exposed to fluctuation in the price of this commodity. If the 

average selling price for the financial year had increased/decreased by 10% the change in the profit before income tax for the 

consolidated group would have been an increase /decrease of $316,525 (2020: $203,512). If there was a 10% increase or 

decrease in market price of inventory, the net realizable value of inventory on hand would increase/(decrease) by $44,407 

(2020: $22,103). As the phosphate-based fertilizer on hand are held at cost there would be no impact on profit or loss. 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the 

consolidated entity. The consolidated entity has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, 

confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits. The consolidated entity obtains guarantees where appropriate to 

mitigate credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying 

amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to 

the financial statements. The consolidated entity does not hold any collateral. 

The Company has bank deposits with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Toronto Dominion Bank which both have a 

Standard and Poors short term credit rating of A-1+. 

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.

Material uncertainty related to going concern 

We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which 

give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s

ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and 

discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this

Material uncertainty related to going concern 

We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which 
give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s 
ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and 
discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this
