FY2022 has been a challenging year in the oil 
and gas industry, which has seen fallout from the 
COVID-19 pandemic create significant disruptions 
to the global supply chain and geopolitical 
tensions exacerbate an ongoing energy crisis.

We believe the Cabora Bassa asset is well placed  
to benefit from the role of natural gas in the 
energy transition as an important less carbon 
intensive fuel source.

A material discovery at  
Cabora Bassa would position 
Invictus to take a leading role  
in providing security to an 
energy starved southern  
African market.

The Cabora 
Bassa asset

Invictus Energy made significant 
progress at the Cabora Bassa project 
in northern Zimbabwe and is on the 
cusp of drilling one of the largest 
conventional oil and gas prospects  
in the world this year.

02

The Mukuyu prospect will target an estimated 20 trillion cubic 
feet (Tcf ) and 845 million barrels of conventional gas condensate 
across seven stacked targets. 

A fresh seismic data acquisition campaign kicked off in 
September 2021, with its completion in November 2021 marking 
the end of the first seismic shoot in Zimbabwe for 30 years.

Polaris were awarded the CB21 Seismic Survey contract due 
to their extensive experience in the region, combined with 
a reputation for delivering high quality results safely and at a 
competitive cost. 

The CB21 Seismic Survey utilised five vibroseis trucks, combined 
with a new generation STRYDE nodal system — the world’s 
smallest and lightest autonomous wireless node recording 
system — to minimise the environmental impact. 

The HSE performance throughout the program was exceptional, 
exceeding 142,000 hours without a Lost Time Injury (LTI) or 
recordable incident and is a testament to the Polaris and  
Invictus teams. 

The CB21 Seismic Survey generated nearly 200 direct jobs during 
the campaign for the local Muzarabani and Mbire communities, as 
well as the procurement of goods and services from local suppliers 
in keeping with the Company’s strong local content policy. 

The Company also implemented a student and lecturer 
attachment program in collaboration with local universities to 
develop and transfer skills to the oil and gas industry.

The CB21 Seismic Survey acquired 840 line-kms of high quality 
2D data, uncovering a substantial new shallow target in the 
Post Dande (Horizon 200) of the Mukuyu prospect, as well as 
identifying new basin margin plays.

Combined with reprocessed data from the 1990 legacy Mobil 
dataset, the CB21 Seismic Survey clearly delineated the Mukuyu 
prospect as a large, robust, four-way dip anticline, confirming 
prospectivity, with extensive seismic anomalies identified at 
multiple levels and additional opportunities along the basin margin. 

INVICTUS ENERGY LIMITED2022 ANNUAL REPORTAn initial heads of agreement was signed in March 2022 and 
ratified in August 2022 with the Sovereign Wealth Fund of 
Zimbabwe for the exploration rights to Exclusive Prospecting 
Orders 1848 and 1849.

This gives Invictus a basin master position, covering a combined 
acreage holding of about 360,000 hectares and encompasses 
the entire conventional oil and gas play fairway in the Cabora 
Bassa Basin.

The acreage expansion includes the newly identified Basin 
Margin play, which we intend to test with the second well of the 
current drilling campaign, Baobab-1.

The new Basin Margin targets display similar structural 
characteristics to the prolific East Africa Rift “String of Pearls” play, 
which resulted in material discoveries in the Lokichar Basin in 
Kenya and Albertine Graben in Uganda.

The new data and supporting interpretation encouraged three 
parties to submit non-binding farm-in offers but, after extensive 
engagement and consideration, the Company elected to sole 
fund the initial stages of the high impact drilling campaign. 

The sole funding path was chosen following the significant 
upgrade in the prospectivity of the project as the result of the 
new seismic data and securing the expanded acreage position. 

This allows Invictus to maintain material ownership of the 
expanded acreage encompassing the new Basin Margin play, 
plus additional prospects and leads, providing shareholders with 
the largest exposure to drilling success. 

The Company remains open to strategic partnering opportunities 
in the future that could add value for shareholders as it continues 
to progress development of the Cabora Bassa project. 

The exceptional results delivered through the planning and 
execution of the CB21 Seismic Survey has enabled us to mature 
the project from an early-stage frontier opportunity, identified 
on legacy data, to a material exploration portfolio of scale and 
breadth with multiple drill ready prospects and substantial 
follow-up potential. 

Independent consultancy ERCE incorporated the results of the 
CB21 Seismic Survey and reprocessed 1990 Mobil data set when 
delivering an updated independent resource report in July 2022. 

ERCE estimates the gross mean recoverable conventional potential 
of the Mukuyu prospect at a combined 20 Tcf and 845 million 
barrels of conventional gas condensate, or about 4.3 billion barrels 
of oil equivalent (boe), on a gross mean unrisked basis.

This marks a 2.7-fold increase on the 2019 independent assessment 
by Getech Group plc for Mukuyu, with additional prospective 
resource estimates to follow for the Basin Margin area. 

The combination of both basin centre plays, such as Mukuyu, 
and Basin Margin plays, such as Baobab, gave Invictus impetus to 
lay the groundwork for the potentially basin opening two-well 
drilling campaign to commence in the second half of the 2022 
calendar year. 

In December 2021, Invictus struck a memorandum of 
understanding with Exalo Drilling to secure the Exalo Rig 202 
for the upcoming campaign, with a binding contract signed in 
March 2022. 

Rig mobilisation commenced in June 2022 and, following minor 
maintenance, the rig will be ready to spud the Mukuyu-1 well. 

The necessary casing, wellheads and ancillary long lead items 
for the upcoming drilling campaign were all secured in January 
2022 and US oilfield services giant Baker Hughes was awarded 
the well services contract in February 2022, with the binding 
contract executed in May. 

Another significant milestone has been the expansion of Invictus’ 
exploration footprint in the Cabora Bassa Basin.

Growth and energy security
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 of 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, relationships and 
competitive advantage.

Energy security has become a key topic within the current 
geopolitical backdrop. The Cabora Bassa project, if successful, 
is expected to provide a reliable domestic supply, which 
would bolster Zimbabwe’s self-sufficiency and drive further 
development of its energy related infrastructure. 

The expansion of the acreage to include the more liquid  
prone basin margin opportunities at Baobab, in addition to  
the basin centre gas play at Mukuyu, provides significant  
upside potential. 

This is further complemented by the addition of Invictus’ carbon 
offset project that has scope to offset emissions as Cabora Bassa 
operations scale up and in the event of multiple discoveries. 

Climate initiatives 
Invictus’ approach to sustainability is driven by its purpose to 
build a better future by responsible oil and gas development. 

Invictus has been proactive on this front and evaluated 
several options to mitigate our carbon emissions and ensure 
sustainability is placed at the forefront of our operations.

This led the Company to enter a 30-year contract with  
the Forestry Commission of Zimbabwe (FCZ) following  
an international tender for the development of the  
Ngamo-Gwayi-Sikumi (NGS) REDD+ project.

04

The projects cover a combined 301,565 hectares of indigenous 
forests and are classified under the Reducing Emissions from 
Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) framework. 

The agreement, which is renewable for a further 30 years,  
will see Invictus and FCZ develop the NGS REDD+ project 
to protect indigenous forests by implementing programs to 
mitigate deforestation activities. 

The resulting benefits of these programs are quantified in the 
form of emission reductions, which then generate carbon credits. 

The NGS REDD+ project will enable Invictus to fully offset all 
Scope 1 and 2 emissions generated across the entire lifecycle of 
the Cabora Bassa project, in the event of a discovery. 

This means the Cabora Bassa project has the potential to be one 
of the world’s first cradle to grave carbon neutral oil and gas 
developments, with emissions to be fully offset from exploration 
to decommissioning on a Scope 1 and 2 basis. 

The status as a full lifecycle carbon neutral project will also 
enhance the ability to finance the development of any discovery 
and broaden the range of potential financing options and lenders.

The NGS REDD+ project has the potential to generate more 
than 30 million carbon credits over its initial 30-year life, based 
on comparable REDD+ projects operating in the region. 
One carbon credit is equivalent to saving one tonne of CO2 
equivalent emissions.

The carbon credits generated by the NGS REDD+ project will be 
certified through Verra’s internationally recognised Verified Carbon 
Standard program and sold on the Voluntary Carbon Market.

With the potential for the NGS REDD+ project to generate 
more credits than required to offset the lifecycle emissions of 
the Cabora Bassa project, this presents a potential additional 
revenue stream for the Company. 

Profits generated by the NGS REDD+ project will be shared 
between Invictus, FCZ and the local community to fund further 
protection of forests through investment in positive social, 
economic and environmental projects.

INVICTUS ENERGY LIMITED2022 ANNUAL REPORTCapital discipline
The Company applies capital discipline across all aspects  
of its business, ensuring all expenditure and costs are  
managed responsibly. 

Outlook
Access to energy is a universal need, a core pillar of the  
global economy, and something which benefits the pan  
African population. 

This capital discipline is even more important amid rising global 
inflationary pressures and supply chain issues. 

Our project is aligned with helping host economies achieve 
growth, while also meeting their carbon offset targets. 

Invictus’s business plan is indicative of our commitment to 
being a significant and successful part of helping meet the 
dual challenge of the energy transition in not only lowering 
emissions, but also ensuring energy security, and we are proud 
of our positioning within this dynamic and critical sector. 

We remain ambitious with our plans to expand and build on our 
achievements to date, drilling two basin opening wells, building 
a carbon offset business and continuing to evaluate new 
ventures that fit within our strategy. 

We would also like to thank all our stakeholders, shareholders 
and partners for their continued support as we strive towards 
delivering transformational value in what will be an exciting 
period ahead for the Company as we drill.

Dr Stuart Lake
NON-EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN 

Scott Macmillan 
MANAGING DIRECTOR

We have carefully managed costs and expenditure over the past 
year by using our in-house team to maintain a firm hand on 
costs whilst expediting quality work and delivery.

Prudent management helped Invictus secure long lead  
items and relevant contractors during the market downturn 
created by the COVID-19 pandemic and well in advance of  
the drilling campaign. 

This prudent management has somewhat insulated the 
Company from current market turmoil and inflationary pressures. 

Further bolstering the Company’s financial position is the 
$20 million (plus an additional $25 million subsequent to the 
decision to sole fund the drilling campaign) raised through 
private placements to sophisticated and institutional investors, 
along with a further $3.7 million raised through the conversion 
of options during the financial year. 

The capital raises have been supported by a range of existing 
shareholders and new investors, placing the Company in a 
strong position to self-fund the drilling of the Mukuyu-1 and 
Baobab-1 wells. 

A discovery at Mukuyu-1 or Baobab-1, could be transformational 
for not only Invictus and its shareholders, but Zimbabwe and the 
wider southern Africa energy market. 

In July, Invictus also received Depository Trust Company (DTC) 
approval to allow real time electronic clearing and settlement in 
the United States for its OTCQB quoted ordinary shares through 
the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation.

The approval for DTC eligibility simplifies the process of  
trading for North America-based investors and enhances the 
liquidity of the Company’s shares on the OTCQB by broadening 
the pool of brokerage firms that will allow their clients to trade 
the stock.

Corporate Social Responsibility 
Invictus takes its corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the areas 
it operates seriously and is committed to operating in a safe, 
ethical and responsible manner.

The Company has significantly expanded its CSR program in the 
Muzarabani and Mbire Districts, in line with the progression of 
the exploration campaign. 

Through its CSR program, Invictus has provided extra water 
storage tanks at clinics and converted manual hand well pumps 
with solar pumps, improving water access.

In July 2022, Invictus was recognised for the impact of its CSR 
program, being awarded the Responsible Investment & Social 
Impact Award 2022 for Mashonaland Central Province by the 
CSR Network Zimbabwe.

Under the guidance of recently appointed Country Manger 
Barry Meikle, Invictus will continue to grow and enhance its CSR 
program as part of its shared prosperity approach, which strives 
to ensure all our stakeholders benefit from finding, developing 
and producing natural resources.

(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.

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:

INVICTUS ENERGY LIMITED2022 ANNUAL REPORT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 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

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

(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.

(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.

22

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsINVICTUS ENERGY LIMITED2022 ANNUAL REPORT1.  Summary of Accounting Policies (CONTINUED)

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.

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.

23

INVICTUS ENERGY LIMITED2022 ANNUAL REPORT1.  Summary of Accounting Policies (CONTINUED)

H. 

Employee benefits (CONTINUED)

(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. 

(iv)  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 2022. 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.

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:

3.  Financial Risk Management (CONTINUED)

(a)  Market risk

Foreign currency risk

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. 

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date, expressed in Australian Dollars, was:

(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 11 for movements in the exploration and evaluation expenditure balance.

(b) 

Share based payment transactions

The group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with Directors, 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.

AASB 8 Operating Segments requires a ‘management approach’, under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that 
used for internal reporting purposes. Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting provided 
to the chief operating decision maker.

(a) 

Description of segments

The Company’s Board of Directors, who are collectively the “Chief Operating Decision Maker”, receives financial information for one

8.  Taxation

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.

8.  Taxation (CONTINUED)

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:

a.  The consolidated entity derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be utilised;

b.  The consolidated entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and

c.  No changes in income tax legislation adversely affect the consolidated entity from utilising the benefits.

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 $3,643,865 
(2021: loss of $1,218,646) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the current financial year of 629,692,632 
(2021: 491,861,703) shares calculated as follows:

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.

11.  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 2022, the carrying value of the capitalised exploration and evaluation properties of the consolidated entity was $28,228,960 
(2021: $8,821,190); the carrying amounts of individual projects are as per the reconciliation of movement in exploration and evaluation 
property below.

INVICTUS ENERGY LIMITED2022 ANNUAL REPORT13.  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.

15.  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 2022 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) 

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.

INVICTUS ENERGY LIMITED2022 ANNUAL REPORTKey audit matters

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

Carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

At 30 June 2022 the carrying value of exploration and

Our procedures included, but were not limited to:

evaluation assets was disclosed in Note 11 of the

financial report.

As the carrying value of these exploration and

evaluation assets represents a significant asset of the

Group, we considered it necessary to assess whether

any facts or circumstances exist to suggest that the

carrying amount of this asset may exceed its

recoverable amount.

Judgement is applied in determining the treatment of

exploration expenditure in accordance with Australian

Accounting Standard AASB 6 Exploration for and

Evaluation of Mineral Resources. In particular:

• Whether the conditions for capitalisation are

satisfied;

• Which elements of exploration and evaluation
expenditures qualify for recognition; and

• Whether facts and circumstances indicate that the
exploration and expenditure assets should be

tested for impairment.

•

•

•

•

•

Obtaining a schedule of the areas of interest held

by the Group and assessing whether the rights to 

tenure of those areas of interest remained 

current at balance date;

Holding discussions with management as to the 

status of ongoing exploration programmes in the

respective areas of interest;

Considering whether any such areas of interest

had reached a stage where a reasonable 

assessment of economically recoverable reserves 

existed;

Considering whether any facts or circumstances 

existed to suggest impairment testing was

required; and

Verifying, on a sample basis, exploration and

evaluation expenditure capitalised during the 

year for compliance with the recognition and 

measurement criteria of AASB 6.

We also assessed the adequacy of the related 

disclosures in Note 11 to the financial statements.

INVICTUS ENERGY LIMITED2022 ANNUAL REPORTIndependent  
Audit Report

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the
information in the Director’s report for the year ended 30 June 2022, but does not include the financial
report and the auditor’s report thereon, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report,
and the Annual report, which is expected to be made available to us after that date.

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 on the other information that we obtained prior to the date
of this auditor’s report, 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.

When we read the Annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are
required to communicate the matter to the directors and will request that it is corrected. If it is not
corrected, we will seek to have the matter appropriately brought to the attention of users for whom
our report is prepared.

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:
