Dear 
Shareholders

 GLOBAL CONTEXT / FY2021 has been a 
challenging year globally with the impact of 
the COVID-19 pandemic impacting all our 
lives and the communities where we operate. 
The resilience of humanity to adapt in the face 
of change is cause for hope, and with a vaccine 
rollout globally1, businesses are starting to 
return to pre-pandemic levels. Invictus has 
been able to navigate through an extremely 
turbulent period in the oil and gas sector  
and we have come through the pandemic  
in better shape than when we entered it.  
The Company is set up for an exciting  
period ahead.

Our revised strategy highlighted in last year’s 
report continues to evolve in the current 
climate as we boost our ESG (Environmental, 
Social, and Corporate Governance) credentials 
and enhance our asset base. We believe the 
Cabora Bassa asset is well placed to benefit 
from the transition to natural gas as an 
important less carbon intensive fuel source  
in the energy mix. In addition we are looking 
at options to be carbon neutral within a year  
in line with seeking to play a role with others 
in addressing climate change2. 

(1) As of 15th September 2021, 5.79 Billion Vaccine doses given globally  

with over 30% of the world population fully vaccinated. Ref John Hopkins

(2) The United National Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 
reported that climate change is real, with rise in manmade CO2 being the 
largest contributor. Governments and Companies need to reduce and 
mitigate their emissions and carbon footprint if Climate Change impact  
is to be reduced. 6th Assessment Report August 2021.

INVICTUS ENERGY LIMITED2021 ANNUAL REPORTFollowing the award of the Environmental  
Impact Assessment (EIA Certificate 8000092361) 
in August 2020, the Company commenced 
the next phase of our work program to mature 
the project through to the drilling phase.

 The Cabora Bassa Asset

Invictus has made further significant progress in the past year 
progressing the development of the Cabora Bassa Project  
in Zimbabwe that encompasses the Muzarabani Prospect, 
a multi-TCF conventional gas-condensate target which is 
potentially the largest, undrilled seismically defined structure 
onshore Africa. The prospect was defined by a robust dataset 
acquired by Mobil in the early 1990s that includes seismic, 
gravity, aeromagnetic and geochemical data, much of which 
was reprocessed in 2019/20. 

Following the award of the Environmental Impact Assessment 
(EIA Certificate 8000092361) in August 2020, the Company 
commenced the next phase of our work program to mature the 
project through to the drilling phase. Invictus tendered out the 
planned seismic survey to three bidders and selected Polaris 
Natural Resources Inc. from Canada on the basis of cost, time 
and quality. Polaris have carried out over 1000 seismic projects 
globally since 1996 and over 15 projects in East Africa, including 
introducing the first low impact seismic survey into Africa in 
2008. Polaris will acquire a minimum of 400-line kilometres 2D 
infill seismic of the former Mobil seismic programme to identify 
the best drill location. 

In December 2020, Invictus received a non-binding farm-in 
agreement but after extensive engagement with the other 
parties, that agreement was terminated in June when Invictus 
was unable to satisfactorily complete the required transaction 
due diligence on the counterparty. The Company has made 
significant progress since the farm-in offer was received and 
been able to create additional value through sole funding the 
seismic survey. This places the Company in a stronger position  
as we continue to engage with additional interested parties 
ahead of a high impact basin opening drilling campaign 
scheduled for 1H 2022.

In March 2021, His Excellency President E.D. Mnangagwa signed 
the Petroleum Exploration Development and Production 
Agreement (PEDPA) for the Republic of Zimbabwe. The PEDPA 
provides the licence holder the right to enter into a 25-year 
production licence following the exploration periods and the 
PEDPA also provides for Special Economic Zone Status for the 
Cabora Bassa Project. 

In June 2021, Invictus appointed Aztech as Drilling Project 
Manager. Aztech Well Construction is a well project 
management company headquartered in Perth with an 
extensive track record in both onshore and offshore drilling 
projects. The preliminary Basis of Well Design (BoWD) has  
been completed, which will enable the ordering of long lead 
drilling items (casing and wellheads) for fabrication shortly.  
The BoWD will be further refined and finalised once the seismic 
processing and interpretation has been completed. Aztech are 
concluding the technical evaluation of the rig contractor options 
ahead of shortlisting to participate in a formal process to select  
a rig for the campaign.

Also in June 2021, the SG 4571 tenure renewal was formally 
gazetted for a further 3 years and now expires in June 2024.  
The second period of the work program requires the acquisition 
of a minimum of 300 line kms of 2D seismic and the drilling of 
one exploration well.

Polaris started their operations in country in July 2021, the first 
seismic operation in country for 30 years having mobilized from 
Tanzania, with 5 vibroseis trucks and the STRYDE nodal system, 
the world’s smallest and lightest autonomous wireless node 
recording system to minimize the environmental impact. 

The recruitment of over 100 local employees involved in the 
seismic campaign have all been filled from the local community 
in line with the Company’s strong commitment to local content 
and employment. The Company will continue to focus on 
supporting the local communities in which we work.

We also launched the next phase of our CSR program in the 
Muzarabani and Mbire Districts focusing on the provision of 
water to the community as part of our ESG commitments under 
our exploration program. This is especially important for women 
and children in the community who will be freed up from 
pumping water and provide them with more time for education 
and other positive activities.

Invictus Energy is the only oil and gas operator in country at 
present, thus is in a unique position to leverage its basin master 
position in the Cabora Bassa Basin.

INVICTUS ENERGY LIMITED2021 ANNUAL REPORT

Growth is our focus

Relationships and Values

Reported discoveries in similar aged basins in nearby Namibia 
and South Africa have again highlighted the possible potential 
in these Karoo aged plays. 

Invictus Energy continues to actively screen the market for value 
accretive assets that offer a chance to broaden its risk profile 
and reduce the effect to external influences by introducing 
cash flow from production or low risk, near term development 
opportunities. In particular, Invictus Energy aims to leverage its 
sub Saharan knowledge of the wider East African Rift System and 
Karoo aged rifts in which we have built a significant knowledge 
base and competitive advantage. Despite many positive 
conversations restrictions from COVID-19 pandemic made full 
negotiations challenging. Looking ahead we see the global 
situation improving we see those negotiations continuing with 
face-to-face discussions. 

Capital Discipline 

We strongly apply capital discipline to all aspects of our business. 
Invictus has operated safely and managed costs and expenditure 
over the past year, particularly during the tumultuous first part 
of the year when the pandemic was at its peak. Throughout 
the recent challenges to the business environment, we have 
used our in-house team to maintain a firm hand on costs whilst 
expediting quality work and delivery. We responded rapidly 
to COVID-19 by reducing our cost base. 2020/21 has been 
a transformational year for Invictus. Product prices are now 
recovering in a post pandemic world both in oil and gas and  
our share value has increased over 486% in the past year,  
a testament to our achievements to date.

The Company completed a heavily oversubscribed capital raise 
of $8 million by way of a private placement to sophisticated 
and institutional investors in March 2021 which was lead by 
PAC Partners. The capital raise was supported by a number of 
existing shareholders as well as new investors which has put the 
Company in a strong position to self-fund the work program this 
year which will create additional shareholder value.

Invictus Energy has built a reputation for attracting quality 
industry partners such as Sable Chemicals and Tatanga Energy. 
Both MOU’s represent fewer than 15% of the likely gas volumes 
in the Invictus Energy acreage but demonstrate that there is a 
clear market for companies like Invictus Energy with less carbon 
intensive sources like gas and supportive ESG credentials. 

Mr Eric de Mori retired from the board aafter 3 years of service 
following the AGM in November 2020. Eric had made a 
significant contribution to Invictus including managing the 
acquisition in 2018 and the Company wishes Mr de Mori all the 
very best with his other business interests. 

Eric was replaced by the appointment of respected Zimbabwean 
businessperson Mr Joe Mutizwa as a Non-Executive Director 
and Deputy Chairman of the Company. Joe as Chairman of 
Mangwana Capital, is a major shareholder of the Company and 
is a director of the Company’s 100% owned local subsidiary 
Invictus Energy Resources Zimbabwe Pty Ltd. Joe has been able 
to represent the company’s interests in country and support 
on-going engagements with in-country stakeholders and we are 
delighted to have someone of Joe’s calibre join the Board.

Lastly, we record our appreciation to all of our team and to 
our partner One-Gas Resources for their resilience during very 
challenging times and for their work and support which has 
enabled us to advance the project. We would also like to thank 
all our stakeholders and shareholders for their continued support 
as we strive towards delivering transformational value in what 
will be an exciting period ahead for the Company as we move 
towards a basin opening drilling campaign over the next year.

(b) 

Non-Executive Director remuneration policy

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 base remuneration of Non-executive Directors is set at A$60,000 per annum.

Non-executive Directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate Directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for 
approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at A$300,000 per annum and was approved by shareholders at the general 
meeting on 12 October 2011.

(c) 

Executive remuneration policy and framework

In determining executive remuneration, the board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are:

• 

• 

• 

• 

competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent;

aligned to the Company’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder value;

transparent; and

acceptable to shareholders.

The executive remuneration framework has two components:

• 

• 

base pay and benefits, including superannuation; and

long-term incentives through the issue of options and performance shares.

Base pay and benefits

Base pay is structured as a total employment cost package which may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial 
benefits at the board’s discretion.

Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards. Base pay for executives is reviewed 
annually to ensure the executive’s pay is competitive with the market.

There are no guaranteed base pay increases included in executives’ contracts. There are no short-term cash bonuses included in the 
figures contained in the Remuneration Report.

Superannuation

Retirement benefits are limited to superannuation contributions as required under the Australian superannuation guarantee legislation.

Long-term incentives

Long-term incentives are provided to Directors and executives as incentives to deliver long-term shareholder returns. Some of the issued 
options and performance shares are granted only if certain performance conditions are met and the Directors and executives are still 
employed by the Company at the end of the vesting period. 

Share trading policy

The Company has a share trading policy in place. The Board of Directors ratified and approved the share trading policy previously adopted 
without change, on 15 September 2019.

INVICTUS ENERGY LIMITED2021 ANNUAL REPORT2.  REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited) - CONTINUED

(d) 

Link of remuneration to Company performance and shareholders’ wealth

The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders and Directors and executives. Currently, 
this is facilitated through the issue of options and performance shares to Directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal 
and shareholder interests. There are currently various financial and other targets set for the performance related remuneration, and 
therefore, remuneration is linked to Company performance or shareholder wealth.

In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the Board have regard to the following indices in respect of 
the current financial year and the previous four (4) financial years:

Notes to the 
Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  Summary of Accounting Policies

A. 

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. Invictus Energy Limited (formerly Interpose 
Holdings Limited) is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

(i)  Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated financial statements of the Invictus Energy Limited (formerly Interpose Holdings Limited) Group also comply with 
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB).

Where necessary, comparatives have been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with the current year disclosures.

The Group has not elected to early adopt any new Standards or Interpretations.

All new and amended accounting standards mandatory as at 1 July 2021 have not had an impact on the financials. Refer to note 2  
for further details.

(ii)  Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the 
realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. 

The Group has incurred net losses of $1,255,646 (30 June 2020: $1,773,456) and experienced net cash outflows from operating 
activities of $767,676 (30 June 2020: $1,608,824) and net cash outflows from investing activities of $1,344,905 (30 June 2020: $806,904) 
for the year ended 30 June 2021.

During the financial year the Group deployed its working capital into advancing its Cabora Bassa project located in Zimbabwe.  
The Group has also commenced a Seismic programme in country. At the date of this report the Group has a commitment of 
US$20,000 that must be paid to maintain tenure over the project area. It is anticipated that any further exploration activities, including 
drilling programmes, are to be funded via a joint venture partner investment which would result in the group divesting its ownership 
interest in the Caborra Bassa Project. The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast reflecting the Group’s key objectives, which 
indicates the Group does not need to raise additional capital to fund the Company’s stated strategic objectives for at least a period of 
12 months from the date of this report. 

The cash flow forecast for the period ending 30 September 2022 indicates that the Group is not required to raise additional capital in 
order to continue its exploration and evaluation activities in Zimbabwe and to fund working capital. This assumes no slowing down or 
deferment of costs.

The Directors believe that the going concern basis of preparation is therefore appropriate.

(iii)  Basis of consolidation

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries. The Parent controls a subsidiary if it 
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through 
its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June.

All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses 
on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the 
underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries 
have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the 
effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.

B. 

Foreign currency translation

(i)  Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary  
economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The functional currency of Invictus Energy Limited 
(formerly Interpose Holdings Limited) is Australian dollars (“A$”).

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s presentation currency. 

(ii)  Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the 
transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to Australian dollars 
at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the statement of 
comprehensive income. 

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the 
exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at 
fair value are translated to A$ at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined.

B. 

Foreign currency translation - CONTINUED

(iii)  Financial statements of foreign operations

The revenues and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to 
Australian dollars at rates approximating to the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised directly in the foreign currency translation reserve (“FCTR”),  
as a separate component of equity. When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the FCTR is 
transferred to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.

C. 

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be  
reliably measured.

Net financial income

Net financial income comprises interest payable on borrowings calculated using the effective interest method, interest receivable on 
funds invested, dividend income and foreign exchange gains and losses. 

Interest income is recognised in the profit and loss as it accrues, using the effective interest method.

Management fees are recognised in the profit and loss as the right to a fee accrues, in accordance with contractual rights.

D. 

Impairment of assets

The carrying amounts of the Company’s assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of 
impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever 
the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the 
statement of comprehensive income.

The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and its value in use. In assessing value in use, estimated future cash 
flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of 
money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is 
determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount and it is reversed 
only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of 
depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss has been recognised. The reversal is recognised in the income statement.

E. 

Financial instruments

(i)  Non-derivative financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, 
any directly attributable transaction costs, except as described below. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial 
instruments are measured as described below.

A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are 
derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial 
asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Purchases and sales of financial 
assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e. the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are 
derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

(ii)  Subsequent measurement

Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in note 3.

(iii)  Impairment

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or Group of financial assets  
is impaired.

Notes to the 
Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  Summary of Accounting Policies - CONTINUED

F. 

Goods and Services Tax / Value Added Tax

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (“GST”) or Value Added Tax (“VAT”), except 
where the amount of GST/VAT incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST/VAT is recognised 
as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST/VAT included. The net amount of GST/VAT recoverable from, or payable to, 
the relevant tax authority is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST/VAT components of cash flows arising from investing and 
financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the relevant tax authority are classified as operating cash flows.

G. 

Dividends

Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared.

H. 

Employee benefits

(i)  Short-term employee benefits

Wages, salaries, bonuses and other salary related expenses are recognised as expenses in the year in which the associated services  
are rendered by employees of the Company. Short-term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are 
recognised when services rendered by employees, that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences, occur.  
Short-term accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when absences occur.

(ii)  Defined contribution plans

Employee benefits include statutory social insurance payments to the State Social Insurance Scheme. Contributions to this defined 
contribution plan are recognised as an expense as incurred.

(iii)  Share-based payments

The Company provides benefits to employees (including Directors) of the Company in the form of share-based payment transactions, 
whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or options over shares (“equity-settled transactions”).

The fair value of options is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity (share-based payments reserve).  
The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the holder become unconditionally entitled 
to the options. Fair value is determined using an appropriate valuation method. In determining fair value, no account is taken of any 
performance conditions other than those related to the share price of Invictus Energy Limited (“market conditions”). The cumulative 
expense recognised between grant date and vesting date is adjusted to reflect the Directors best estimate of the number of options 
that will ultimately vest because of internal conditions of the options, such as the employees having to remain with the Company 
until the vesting date, or such that employees are required to meet internal performance targets. 

I. 

Leases 

Leases are recognised as a right-of-use and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the 
Company. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the Consolidated 
Statement of Financial Performance over the lease period as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance  
of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is amortised over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a  
straight-line basis.

Assets and liabilities from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. The lease liability includes the present value of the fixed 
payments (with a 3.25% set increase each year), and variable payments for outgoings (reconciled and adjusted for actual cost each year). 
The lease payments are discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate of 10.0%.

The right-of-use asset is measured at cost comprising of the initial measurement of the lease liability.

2.  New and Amended Standards not yet Adopted by the Group

The Directors have also reviewed all Standards and Interpretations on issue not yet adopted for the year ended 30 June 2021. As a result 
of this review, the directors have determined that there is no material impact of the Standards and Interpretation on issue not yet adopted 
on the Group and, therefore, no change is necessary to the Group’s accounting policies

24

INVICTUS ENERGY LIMITED2021 ANNUAL REPORT3.  Financial Risk Management

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk 
and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise 
potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk 
to which it is exposed. 

Risk management is carried out by the management under policies approved by the board of Directors. Group management identifies, 
evaluates and hedges financial risks by holding cash in interest earning deposits.

The Group holds the following financial instruments:

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is 
not the entity’s functional currency and net investments in foreign operations. The consolidated entity has the Australian dollar (A$) as its 
functional currency, which is also the currency for the Group’s transactions. Some exposure to foreign exchange risk exists in respect to its 
Cabora Bassa project which has transactions denominated in US Dollars and Zim Dollars. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and 
cash flow forecasting.

Foreign exchange volatility was chosen to reflect expected short-term fluctuations in the US Dollar.

(b) 

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an 
adequate amount of committed credit facilities, the ability to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the 
dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the management aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit 
lines available with a variety of counterparties. Surplus funds are only invested in instruments that are tradeable in highly liquid markets.

The tables below analyse the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings. The amounts disclosed in the table are the 
contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying amounts as the impact of discounting is  
not significant.

The Group’s sensitivity to movement in interest rates is not significant to the group.

(c) 

Credit risk

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables (excluding prepayments) represent the Group’s 
maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets.

Cash and short-term liquid investments are placed with reputable banks, so no significant credit risk is expected. None of the financial 
assets are either past due or impaired.

(d) 

Fair value measurements

The carrying values less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their 
short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows 
at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

4.  Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations  
of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and judgements may differ 
from the related actual results and may have a significant effect on the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial 
year and on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a 
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(a) 

Impairment of deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current. These costs are carried forward 
in respect of an area that has not at balance date reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically 
recoverable reserves. The Board and Management have assessed the carrying value of the Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure to be 
impaired. Refer to the accounting policy stated in note 12 for movements in the exploration and evaluation expenditure balance.

(b) 

Share based payment transactions

The group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and consultants by reference to the fair value of the equity 
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques.

(c) 

Tax in foreign jurisdictions

The consolidated entity operates in overseas jurisdictions and accordingly is required to comply with the taxation requirements of those 
relevant countries. This results in the consolidated entity making estimates in relation to taxes including but not limited to income tax, 
goods and services tax, withholding tax and employee income tax. The consolidated entity estimates its tax liabilities based on the 
consolidated entity’s understanding of the tax law. Where the final outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were 
initially recorded, such differences will impact profit or loss in the period in which they are settled.

5.  Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

The consolidated entity is organised into one operating segment, being mining and exploration operations. 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.

The CODM reviews EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). The accounting policies adopted for internal 
reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements.

The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis.

The income tax expense for the period presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the statement of profit 
or loss and other comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is 
recognised in equity.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting 
period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically 
evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation.  
It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and 
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset 
can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised, or to 
the extent that the Group has deferred tax liabilities with the same taxation authority.

The Group is subject to income taxes in Australia and jurisdictions where it has foreign operations. Significant judgement is required 
in determining the provision for income taxes across the Group. There are certain transactions and calculations undertaken during the 
ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The group estimates its tax liabilities based on the 
Group’s understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially 
recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination 
is made.

The tax losses do not expire under current legislation. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these items because it is 
not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Company can utilise the benefits. The tax benefits of the above 
deferred tax assets will only be obtained if:

INVICTUS ENERGY LIMITED2021 ANNUAL REPORT 
9.  Gain/(Loss) per Share

Basic earnings per share

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

The calculation of basic gain per share at the reporting date was based on the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of $1,218,646 
(2020: loss of $1,729,212) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the current financial year of 491,861,703 
(2020: 426,639,936) shares calculated as follows:

Diluted gain/(loss) per share

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

Potential ordinary shares are not considered dilutive, thus diluted gain/(loss) per share is the same as basic gain/(loss) per share.

10.  Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, short-term bills and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and 
form an integral part of the consolidated entity’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the 
purpose of the statement of cash flows.

Notes to the 
Consolidated Financial Statements

12.  Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs are allocated separately to specific areas of interest. Each area of interest is limited to a size related 
to a known and probable Mineral Resource capable of supporting a mining operation. Such costs comprise net direct costs and an 
appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure directly related to activities in the area of interest.

Exploration and evaluation costs incurred in the normal course of operations are capitalised.

Exploration and evaluation costs are capitalised where they are the result of an acquisition from a third party. These capitalised costs are only 
carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in 
the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

When a decision to proceed to development is made the exploration and evaluation costs capitalised to that area are transferred to 
mine development within property, plant and equipment. All costs subsequently incurred to develop a mine prior to the start of mining 
operations within the area of interest are capitalised. These costs include expenditure to develop new ore bodies within the area of 
interest, to define further mineralisation in existing areas of interest, to expand the capacity of a mine and to maintain production.

The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether 
the Company decides to exploit the related lease itself, or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation 
asset through sale.

Factors that could impact future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, cost of drilling 
and production, production rates, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to 
commodity prices.

As at 30 June 2021, the carrying value of the capitalised exploration and evaluation properties of the consolidated entity was $8,821,190 
(2020: $8,021,198); the carrying amounts of individual projects are as per the reconciliation of movement in exploration and evaluation 
property below.

INVICTUS ENERGY LIMITED2021 ANNUAL REPORT14.  Share Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the 
proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in 
the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

If the entity reacquires its own equity instruments, for example as a result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted from equity 
and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly 
attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity. 

The Group’s capital is comprised of ordinary shares and options over ordinary shares of the Company.

Notes to the 
Consolidated Financial Statements

16.  Interests in Other Entities

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Invictus Energy Limited (“the Company” 
or “the parent entity”) as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Invictus Energy Limited and its 
subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the 
consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect 
those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is 
transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances 
and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated 
unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been 
changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.

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

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by 
the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of comprehensive income, 
statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity.

(a) 

Subsidiaries

The consolidated entity’s principal subsidiaries at 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020 are set out below. Unless otherwise stated, they have 
share capital consisting solely of ordinary shares that are held directly by the consolidated entity, and the proportion of ownership 
interests held equals the voting rights held by the consolidated entity. The country of incorporation or registration is also their principal 
place of business. Principal activity of all subsidiaries is gas exploration and development.

20.  Share-Based Payments

(a) 

Employee options over ordinary shares

Decisions to grant options are made by the Board and are based on aligning the long-term interests of key management personnel, 
employees, consultants and strategic external parties with those of the Company’s shareholders. 

The exercise price of options is based on the weighted average price at which the Company’s shares are traded on the Australian 
Securities Exchange (ASX) on or about the date of grant.

Each option is convertible into one ordinary share.

The fair value of an option is measured using an appropriate valuation method. Measurement inputs include share price on measurement 
date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due 
to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option 
holder behaviour), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and non-market performance 
conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value.

Share options granted 

30 June 2021

No share options were granted to employees or consultants for services rendered during the financial year.

30 June 2020

On 31 July 2019 the company announced the appointment of Dr Stuart Lake as Non-Executive Chairman of the Company,

Note 1:  The black-scholes pricing model was used to value these options. Inputs into the valuation model were as stated in the table above, and as follows:

•  Spot price: The spot price of the Company’s shares was $0.04 per share at the close of trade on 25 July 2019, the closing price immediately prior to Valuation Date. 
•  Expected future volatility: The share price volatility of the Company at 85% for the securities, was calculated and based on assessing historical volatility over recent 

trading periods. 

•  Risk free rate: Determined based on volatility yields of Commonwealth bonds using a three-year bond, the period which most closely corresponds to the maximum life 
of the Options. The interest rates were measured as the closing rate on the day prior to the Valuation Date. A three-year bond yielded 0.83% on 25 July 2019 as disclosed 
by the Reserve Bank of Australia.

The fair value of the 9,000,000 Director options granted during the June 2020 financial year was $132,501, with $121,247 recognised in 
Consolidated Statement of Financial Performance for the year ended 30 June 2020.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion.  Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists.  Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:

Cautionary Statement: The estimated quantities of petroleum that may be potentially recovered by the application of a future development 
project relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further 
exploration, appraisal and evaluation are required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially movable hydrocarbons. 
Prospective Resource assessments in this release were estimated using probabilistic methods in accordance with SPE-PRMS standards.

Hydrocarbon Resource Estimates – The Prospective Resource estimates for Invictus’ SG 4571 permit presented in this report are 
prepared as at 26 June 2019. The estimates have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the definitions and guidelines set 
forth in the Petroleum Resources Management System, 2018, approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers and have been prepared 
using probabilistic methods. The Prospective Resource estimates are unrisked and have not been adjusted for both an associated chance 
of discovery and a chance of development.

No New Information or Change in Assumptions – Since the date of completion of this hydrocarbon resource study (26 June 2019), 
the Company is not aware of any new information and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning prospective 
resource estimate continue to apply and have not materially changed

Competent Person Statement Information – In this report information relating to hydrocarbon resource estimates has been compiled 
by Getech Group plc. under the supervision of Mr Scott Macmillan, the Invictus Energy Ltd Managing Director. Mr Macmillan has over 
13 years’ experience in the oil and gas industry in exploration, field development planning, reserves and resources assessment, reservoir 
simulation, commercial valuations and business development and is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers. Mr Macmillan 
consents to the inclusion of the information in this report relating to hydrocarbon Prospective Resources in the form and context in which 
it appears.
