Directors’ Report 

Dear Shareholder, 

MANAGING DIRECTORS ADDRESS TO SHAREHOLDERS 

KAISER REEF LIMITED 2022 

I am pleased to report on the Kaiser Reef Limited (Kaiser) first full financial year of exploration, improving operations and gold production. The 
first half of this reporting period (July – December 2021) was very much focused on bedding down the operations at the A1 Mine and restoring 
the mine and processing plant back to reliable and efficient operations.  

The second half of this reporting period (Jan -Jun 2022) was transformational highlighted the potential of the A1 Mine and validated further 
investment directed into the future of our operations (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Quarterly Production Results, Gold Produced 

The 2022 production year delivered a gross profit of $5,868,835 which compares to a gross loss of $1,580,184 over the previous year, largely 
driven by improvements in the latter half of the reporting period. Accounting depreciation of the carrying values of the Processing Plant and 
the A1 Mine resulted in accounting depreciation and amortisation write downs totalling $6,780,474 (which should not be confused with cash 
or operational losses). Running a diamond drilling rig over the whole year and extensive development has however added value to the A1 Mine 
and the substantial investment in the Processing Plant has seen vast improvements at almost every level -so the depreciation and amortisation 
treatment is not indicative of any reduced value in the Boards opinion but is necessary in accordance with accounting standards. 

Looking to the future and leveraging off the production experience, we have cemented a business plan that will target significantly higher 
production, improving margins and deeper and higher-grade lodes of mineralisation into 2023 and beyond.  We are also comforted with the 
ongoing diamond drilling results that are providing evidence of continuous deep mineralisation as well as some outstanding drill intercepts 
such as 4.6m @ 135 g/t gold that are supporting our production with some months of mining delivering ore with grades running higher than 
14 g/t gold. 

As well as the exciting A1 Mine planning and the improvements and investment made at the Maldon Processing Plant, we are also increasingly 
moving  towards  the  groundwork  required  to  bring  on  a  second  operation  at  the  Maldon  goldfield,  the  Union  Hill  Project,  that  historically 
produced 2.1M ounces at 28 g/t of gold. Kaiser also wholly owns this project and work is ongoing to progress this with anticipation. Bringing 
on a second mine is expected to provide unit cost reductions across the businesses and increase Kaisers production substantially.  

On a side note, and more relevant to more recent macro market events, I am also pleased to note that the gold price is holding very well from 
the perspective of Australian gold producers.  Despite the falling US$ Gold price, the AUD$ gold price has held up very well- keeping lock-step 
with falling US:AUD exchange rate. The best illustration can be seen in Figure 2 which shows, on a September 2021 to September 2022 basis, 
that the gold price is actually higher now than it was a year ago.  

Kaiser is proud to be unhedged and debt free and directly exposed to the gold price, as we believe gold producers should be.

Collectively, Kaiser holds an enviable pipeline of development opportunities supported by a dedicated and talented team and a profitable 
operation and a healthy treasury.  

I am deeply proud to be involved in our business and we are grateful for the support shown by our shareholders over these challenging market 
conditions and believe that Kaiser is exceptionally well positioned to survive and thrive! 

Yours sincerely,

Directors’ Report 

Review of operations 

A1 Mine Operations  

Safety  is  a  key  focus  for  the  Group  and  since  the  acquisition  of 
Centennial  Mining  Limited  this  has  continued.  Appointment  of 
new management initiated a series of reviews and improvements 
to safety processes following the period of administration.  

The A1 Mine continued its ramp up plan prepared by the Group 
that is designed to access increased production sources from airleg 
and mechanical mining methods.  

During  the  year  decline  extension  and  lateral  development  has 
reached the Queens Lode, opening new ore headings allowing for 
greater  volumes  of  high  grade  airleg  mining  and  initial  Queens 
Lode ore to be processed. 

In  2022,  the  A1  Mine  produced  8,727  ounces  (2021  under  5 
months  of  Group’s  ownership:  2,178  ounces)  and  sold  8,867 
ounces  (2021  Group’s  ownership  of  5  months:  2,192  ounces)  of 
gold  at  an  average  realised  price  of  $2,570  Australian  dollars 
(2021: $2,320). 

The  Group  has  achieved  a  quarter  on  quarter  production  up  lift 
and  is  pleased  to  commence  the  new  financial  year  on  a  strong 
footing. Continued ramp up to access the potential for the A1 Mine 
to  mine  and  process  high  grade  gold  ore  although  the  mining 
operations  have  been  subject  to  the  impact  from  ongoing  and 
irregular  COVID-19  related  supply  chain  and  very  tight  labour 
market.   

In the final quarter of the year underground drilling recommenced 
at the A1 mine with promising results.  

The first drill hole from the A1 Mine drilling program targeted the 
south of the Queens Lode returned unexpectedly numerous zones 
of  deeper  mineralisation.  This  particular  interval  represents  an 
interpreted extension of the Sovereign Lode.  The drill holes are 
targeting  near  term  and  deeper 
including 
extensions to the recently discovered “Sovereign” Lode which was 
brought  into  production  during  the  quarter  (Figure  1).  The 
Sovereign  Lode  is  currently  providing  high-grade  gold  ore  from 
several  mining  fronts  and  its  discovery  is  the  result  of  Kaiser’s 
aggressive drilling and development into the deeper regions of the 
mine.   

lode  positions, 

As detailed in the June 2022 quarter release, the discovery of the 
high-grade  “Neesham  Reef”  was  announced.  The  discovery  hole 
returned an exceptional drill intercept of 2.4m @ 215 g/t gold. 

Maldon Processing Plant 

There  were  no  reportable  safety  or  environmental  incidents 
recorded  at  the  Maldon  processing  facilities  in  2022.  The  plant 
processed 28,481 tonnes of ore at an average recovery of 94.6% in 
2022 (2021 Group’s ownership of 5 months: 9,841 tonnes of ore at 
an average recovery of 94.3%) 

Mill  tailings  continues  to  be  discharged  into  Tailings  Storage 
Facility (TSF) No 5. Construction of the next lift of the TSF facility 
(TSF Lift 5C) was completed in November 2021.  

During  the  year  the  Group  underwent  a  number  of  community 
projects  to  further  improve  engagement  in  the  region.    These 
projects  include  continuous  noise  monitoring,  water  quality 
monitoring and community site visits to the facilities.  

Water  from  the  Union  Hill  underground  mine  was  used  in  the 
processing plant and excess water was  directed  to the  Nuggetty 
Water Management Group for agriculture irrigation.  

KAISER REEF LIMITED 2022 

In the second half of 2022 the processing plant undertook major 
refurbishments  and  upgrade  projects  to  increase  efficiency  and 
longevity of the plant  

The project to refurbish and upgrade the SAG milling circuit in the 
Maldon  Plant  was  progressed.  A  newly  designed  SAG  discharge 
hopper  was  installed  along  with  the  replacement  of  structural 
steel within the mill building and a rolling replacement of parts of 
the  leaching  circuit.  The  upgrade  will  include  the  installation  of 
new  “direct  drive”  agitators.  This  will  improve  the  energy 
efficiency,  decrease  maintenance  cost  and  reduce  the  noise 
footprint  of  the  plant  considerably  for  the  benefit  of  the  local 
community.  

Phase  2  of  the  mill  upgrade  will  include  the  replacement  of  the 
classification  circuit  with  newer  technology  equipment  and  will 
take place in August 2022. Phase 3 will include the replacement of 
the  PLC’s  and  installing  a  fully  digital  SCADA  control  system  to 
replace  the  existing  analogue  items,  including  remote  access  in 
November 2022.  

In addition, the Group will replace all the CIL tanks over the next 2 
years. 

The  upgrade  works  are  expected  to  deliver  a  20%  increase  in 
throughput rates as well as increased gold recovery. Reduction in 
lower  power  consumption  and  efficient 
unit  cost  through 
operation are expected which will have a direct impact of reducing 
operating costs and support any future expanded mining activities. 

Immediately after year end, on 21 July 2022 the Group announced: 

•  A Mineral Resource Estimate of 1.2 Mt at 4.4 g/t gold (Inferred) 

for 186,656 ounces of gold; and  

•  An Exploration Target of 1.75 to 2.7Mt at between 3 g/t gold 
and 4 g/t gold for between 165,000 ounces of gold to 345,000 
ounces of gold. 

Impact of COVID-19 

The Group continues to proactively manage the COVID-19 risk to 
the business.   

in

line  with  relevant 

As restrictions were put in place at the Group’s various operations, 
measures  were 
local 
government advice. These measures  included cancelling all non-
essential travel, encouraging good hygiene practices and physical 
distancing  across  all  workplaces,  working  from  home  where 
practicable, enforcing self-isolation policies when appropriate. The 
company supports the vaccination role out and conducts surveys 
to assess workforce progress relative to government vaccination 
targets.  

The Group’s supply chain was not disrupted with the mining and 
processing  operation  obtaining  many  of  its  resources  within  the 
local communities that it operates.  

The State border restriction added pressure on our labour force. 
Nevertheless, as a result of the Group’s measures, and the efforts 
of staff across sites, the operations were able to continue normal 
activities.

Indemnification and insurance of officers 

The Company’s Constitution provides that, to the extent permitted 
by  law,  the  Company  must  indemnify  any  person  who  is,  or  has 
been, an officer of the Company against any liability incurred by 
that  person  including  any  liability  incurred  as  an  officer  of  the 
Company or a subsidiary of the Company and legal costs incurred 
by that person in defending an action. 

During  the  year  the  Company  paid  an  insurance  premium  for 
Directors’ and Officers’ Liability and Statutory Liability policies. The 
contract  of  insurance  prohibits  disclosure  of  the  amount  of  the 
premium and the nature of the liabilities insured under the policy. 
The Company has agreed to indemnify their external auditors, BDO 
Audit  (WA)  Pty  Ltd,  to  the  extent  permitted  by  law,  against  any 
claim by a third party arising from the Company’s breach of their 
agreement. The indemnity stipulates that the Company will meet 
the  full  amount  of  any  such  liabilities  including  a  reasonable 
amount of legal costs. 

Non-audit services 

The  Group  may  decide  to  employ  the  Auditor  on  assignments 
additional  to  their  statutory  audit  duties  where  the  Auditor’s 
expertise  and  experience  with  the  Company  and/or  Group  are 
important. 

The Board of Directors has considered the position and, is satisfied 
that the provision of non-audit services during the year as set out 
in  Note  18  did  not  compromise  the  auditor  independence 
requirements  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001  for  the  following 
reasons: 

•  All non-audit services were reviewed by the Board to ensure 
they  do  not  impact  the  impartiality  and  objectivity  of  the 
auditor; and 

•  The Executives annually informs the Board of the detail, nature 
and amount of any non-audit services rendered by BDO during 
the financial year, giving an explanation of why the provision 
of these services is compatible with auditor independence.  If 
applicable, the Board take appropriate action to satisfy itself 
of the independence of BDO. 

Future Development, prospect and business strategies 

Further information, other than as disclosed in this report, about 
likely  developments  in  the  operations  of  the  Group  and  the 
expected results of the operations in future periods has not been 
included in this report as disclosure of this information would likely 
result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group. 

Proceedings on behalf of the company 

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

KAISER REEF LIMITED 2022 

No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on behalf of 
the  Company  with  leave  of  the  Court  under  section  237  of  the 
Corporations Act 2001. 

Environmental management  

The  Kaiser  Reef  Group  regards  compliance  with  environmental 
instruments  as  the 
legislation,  regulations  and  regulatory 
minimum  performance standard for its operations.  The  Group’s 
operations in New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria are subject to 
environmental  regulation  under  both  Commonwealth  and  State 
legislation. The Group has environmental bonds lodged with both 
the NSW and Victorian government.  

There  were  no  externally  reportable  environmental  incidents 
during  the  year  ended  30  June  2022  at  any  of  the  Group’s 
operating sites. 

Auditor independence 

A copy of the Auditor’s Independence Declaration required under 
section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on  page 15 
and forms part of this Directors’ Report.   

Events occurring after the end of the financial year 

The  Directors  are  not  aware  of any  matter  or  circumstance  that 
has arisen since the end of the financial year that, in their opinion, 
has significantly affected or may significantly affect in future years 
the  Company’s  or  the  Group’s  operations,  the  results  of  those 
operations or the state of affairs, except as described below. 

On 21 July 2022 Kaiser Reef Limited announced in relation to the 
Maldon exploration projects: 

•  A Mineral Resource Estimate of 1.2 Mt at 4.4 g/t gold (Inferred) 

for 186,656 ounces of gold; and  

•  An Exploration Target of 1.75 to 2.7Mt at between 3 g/t gold 
and 4 g/t gold for between 165,000 ounces of gold to 345,000 
ounces of gold at its wholly owned Maldon site. 

The Maldon gold project has extensive existing infrastructure and 
capital, existing mine permitting and a wholly owned processing 
plant within a 3km proximity, that is currently operating profitably 
at well below its production capacity.  

On  the  9  September  2022  Kaiser  Reef  Limited  commenced 
engineering  work  used  for  scoping  and  other  technical/planning 
studies  for  the  potential  development  of  a  second  gold  mining 
operation  at  Union  Hill.  Continued  exploration  and  infill  drilling 
targeting  increasing  the  resource  size  and  confidence  are  also 
proposed and will be initiated following the results obtained from 
the engineering work. 

On 11 August 2022, 250,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.40 
issued to consultants expired.  

On the 07 September 2022, 750,000 unlisted options exercisable 
at  $0.30  and  expiring  05  September  issued  to  consultants  were 
issued  to  Euro  Equity  Group  for  services  relating  to  share 
marketing to the European markets. 

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of Directors. 

For and on behalf of the Board 

Dated at Perth this 30th day of September 2022

1  Acquisition accounting 

Business  Combination  Accounting  –  Centennial  Mining  Limited 
Acquisition 

The acquisition method of accounting used to account for business 
combination  regardless  of  whether  equity  instrument  or  other 
assets are acquired.  

The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair 
values  of  the  assets  transferred,  equity  instruments  issued  or 
liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree 
and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. All 
acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss.  

On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the 
financial  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  for  appropriate 
classification  and  designation  in  accordance  with  the  contractual 
terms, economic conditions, the consolidated entity's operating or 
accounting  policies  and  other  pertinent  conditions  in  existence  at 
the acquisition-date.  

in  stages,  the 
Where  the  business  combination 
consolidated entity remeasures its previously held equity interest in 
the  acquiree  at  the  acquisition-date  fair  value  and  the  difference 
between  the  fair  value  and  the  previous  carrying  amount  is 
recognised in profit or loss. 

is  achieved 

Contingent  consideration  to  be  transferred  by  the  acquirer  is 
recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in 
the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset 
or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration 
classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement 
is accounted for within equity. 

The  difference  between  the  acquisition-date  fair  value  of  assets 
acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the 
acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the 
fair  value  of  any  pre-existing  investment  in  the  acquiree 
is 
recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-
existing fair value is less  than the fair value of the identifiable net 
assets  acquired,  being  a  bargain  purchase  to  the  acquirer,  the 
difference  is  recognised  as  a  gain  directly  in  profit  or  loss  by  the 
acquirer  on  the  acquisition-date,  but  only  after  a  reassessment  of 
the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the 
non-controlling  interest  in  the  acquiree,  if  any,  the  consideration 
transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the 
acquirer. 

Business  combinations  are  initially  accounted  for  on  a  provisional 
basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts 
recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during 
the measurement period, based on new information obtained about 
the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The 
measurement period ends on either the earlier of  

(i) 
(ii) 

12 months from the date of the acquisition or  
when the acquirer receives all the information 
possible to determine fair value. 

Reverse  acquisition  accounting  –  Golden  River  Resources  Pty  Ltd 
Acquisition 

On the 20 January 2021 Kaiser Reef Limited acquired 100% of the

Deemed Consideration 

The consideration in a reverse acquisition is deemed to have been 
incurred  by  the  legal  Subsidiary  (GRR)  in  the  form  of  equity 
instruments issued to the shareholders of the legal parent (KAU).  

The acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred has been 
determined by reference to the fair value of the issued shares of KAU 
immediately  prior  to  the  acquisition.  Hence  the  purchase 
consideration is 33,450,000 (KAU share just prior to acquisition) at 
capital raising price of $0.30 which is $10,035,000. 

Kaiser  Reef  Limited  also  issued  3,115,523  shares  to  brokers  and 
advisors for services provided in relation to the transaction with a 
deemed value of $934,657 based on the share price of $0.30.

1     Acquisition accounting (continued) 

Acquisition accounting – Centennial Mining Limited Acquisition 

On 21 January 2021, the Group, through its subsidiary Golden River 
Resources Pty Ltd, acquired 100% of the issued capital of Centennial 
Mining Limited (“Centennial Mining”), a gold mining, development 
and exploration company with operations in Victoria, Australia.   

The  acquisition  of  Centennial  Mining  achieves  all  of  the  Group’s 
strategic objectives, including: 

•  Valuable  mining  and  exploration  licences  in  the  Victorian  gold 

region, which had in the past high-grade mining areas; 

•  Project the Group from a gold exploration and development to a 

gold mining and producer; and 

•  A processing facility in Victoria which can produce Dore 

The  acquisition  was  completed  through  a  deed  of  company 
arrangement.

(1)  Management has obtained a final independent valuation of the plant, property and equipment acquired and adjusted the provisional amount accordingly.  

(2)  In a mining transaction the residual amount of purchase consideration after all the other assets and liabilities have been identified and re-measured to reflect 
acquisition  date  fair  value  is  typically  allocated  to  mine  properties  (excluding  site  rehabilitation),  due  to  the  complexity  of  the  valuation  process  in  particular 
exploration and evaluation. 

 (3) Following the increase in valuation of the plant, property and equipment acquired, the additional depreciation has been accounted for over a unit of production 
basis from date of acquisition. Upon finalisation of acquisition date information, the amortisation of mine properties has also been adjusted from date of acquisition, 
alongside other minor changes as a result of finalisation of provisional accounting. These have been flowed through the comparative retained earnings accordingly.

Sales revenue  
Revenue from the sale of gold and silver in the course of ordinary 
activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received 
or receivable. The Group recognises revenue at a point in time when 
control  (physical  or  contractual)  is  transferred  to  the  buyer,  the 
amount  of  revenue  can  be  reliably  measured  and  the  associated 
costs  can  be  estimated  reliably,  and  it  is  probable  that  future 
economic benefits will flow to the Group.   

Segment reporting 
The consolidated entity has considered the requirements of AASB 8 
–  Operating  Segments  and  has  identified  its  operating  segments 
based  on  the  internal  reports  that  are  reviewed  and  used  by  the 
board  of  Directors  (chief  operating  decision  makers)  in  assessing 
performance  and  determining  the  allocation  of  resources.  The 
consolidated  entity  operates  predominantly 
in  one  business 
segment  and  in  one  geographical  location.  The  operations  of  the 
consolidated  entity  consist  of  mineral  production  and  exploration, 
within Australia.

Income tax 

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax.  Current tax 
and  deferred  tax  are  recognised  in  the  consolidated  income 
statement,  except  to  the  extent  that  it  relates  to  a  business 
combination,  or  items  recognised  directly  in  equity  or  in  other 
comprehensive income. 

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable 
profit for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted 
at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect 
of previous years.   

Tax exposure 

In determining the amount of current and deferred tax the Group 
takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether 
additional taxes and interest may be due.  This assessment relies on 
estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements 
about future events.  New information may become available that 
causes the Group to change its judgement regarding the adequacy 
of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities  may impact 
tax expense in the period that such a determination is made. 

Tax consolidation 

Entities  in  the  Australian  tax  consolidated  group  at  30  June  2022 
included:  Golden River Resources Pty Ltd (head entity), Centennial 
Mining Limited and Maldon Resources Pty Ltd.  Current and deferred 
tax  amounts  are  allocated  using  the  “separate  taxpayer  within 
group” method.   

A tax sharing and funding agreement has been established between 
the entities in the tax consolidated group.  The Company recognises 
deferred  tax  assets  arising  from  the  unused  tax  losses  of  the  tax 
consolidated  group  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  future 
taxable profits of the tax consolidated group will be available against 
which the asset can be utilised. At 30 June 2022, the Australian tax 
consolidated group did not have any unused tax losses. 

- 

- 

Current tax liability 

As at 30 June 2022, the Company had a nil current tax liability. 

Accounting judgements and estimates 
Deferred  tax  assets  relating  to  the  acquiree  which  have  been 
brought to account to the extent of offsetting deferred tax liabilities 
relating to the acquisition of Centennial Mining Limited are expected 
to be available for use by the Group in accordance with AASB 112 
and IFRIC 23. 
At  30  June  2022,  tax  losses  not  recognised  relating  to  entities 
associated  of  $360,711  (tax  effected)  were  not  booked  (30  June 
2021: $885,329).

KAISER REEF LIMITED 2022 

Deferred tax 

Deferred  tax  is  recognised  in  respect  of  temporary  differences 
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial 
reporting  purposes  and  the  amounts  used  for  taxation  purposes.  
Deferred tax is not recognised for: 

•  Temporary  differences  on  the  initial  recognition  of  assets  or 
liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and 
that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; 

•  Temporary  differences  related  to  investments  in  subsidiaries 
and  jointly  controlled  entities  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable 
that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and 

•  Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition 

of goodwill. 

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to  be 
applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the 
laws  that  have  been  enacted  or  substantively  enacted  by  the 
reporting date. 

A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits 
and  deductible  temporary  differences,  to  the  extent  that  it  is 
probable that future taxable profits will be available against which 
they  can  be  utilised.    Deferred  tax  assets  are  reviewed  at  each 
reporting  date  and  are  reduced  to  the  extent  that  it  is  no  longer 
probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. 

Tax  benefits  acquired  as  part  of  a  business  combination,  but  not 
satisfying  the  criteria  for  separate  recognition  at  that  date,  are 
recognised  subsequently  if  new  information  about  facts  and 
circumstances change. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  if  there  is  a  legally 
enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they 
relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same 
taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle 
current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and 
liabilities will be realised simultaneously. 

Accounting judgements and estimates 
At each reporting date, the Group performs a review of the probable 
future taxable profit in each jurisdiction. The assessments are based 
on the latest life of mine plans relevant to each jurisdiction and the 
application of appropriate economic assumptions such as gold price 
and operating costs. Any resulting recognition of deferred tax assets 
is categorised by type (e.g. tax losses or temporary differences) and 
recognised based on which would be utilised first according to that 
particular jurisdiction’s legislation.

Basic earnings/(losses) per share 

Basic earnings/(losses) per share is calculated by dividing the profit 
or loss 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 reporting 
period. 

Diluted earnings/(losses) per share 

in  the 
Diluted  earnings  per  share  adjusts  the  figures  used 
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. 

Performance  rights  and  options  granted  to  employees  under  the 
Kaiser  Performance  Rights  Plan  are  considered  to  be  potential 
ordinary  shares  and  are  included  in  the  determination  of  diluted 
earnings  per  share  to  the  extent  to  which  they  are  dilutive.    The 
rights  and  options  are  not  included  in  the  determination  of  basic 
earnings per share until the performance conditions are met.   

Weighted average of number of shares 

The calculation of the weighted average number of shares is based 
on  the  number  of  ordinary  shares  and  performance  shares  during 
the period.

Subsequent  costs  are  included  in  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  or 
recognised  as  a  separate  asset,  as  appropriate,  only  when  it  is 
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will 
flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. 
All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated 
income  statement  during  the  financial  period  in  which  they  are 
incurred. 

Depreciation of assets is calculated using the straight line method to 
allocate the cost or revalued amounts, net of residual values, over 
their estimated useful lives. Where the carrying value of an asset is 
less  than  its  estimated  residual  value,  no  depreciation  is  charged.  
Residual  values  and  useful  lives  are  reviewed,  and  adjusted  if 
appropriate, at each balance sheet date. 

An  asset’s  carrying  amount  is  written  down  immediately  to  its 
recoverable amount, if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than 
its estimated recoverable amount. 

Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds 
with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the 
consolidated income statement when realised. 

The Group’s leasing activities  
The  Group  leases  offices,  warehouses,  equipment  and  vehicles  as 
part of its operational requirements.  Contracts are typically made 
for  fixed  periods  of  6  months  to  5  years,  but  may  have  extension 
options as described below. 

Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components.  The 
group  allocates  the  consideration  in  the  contract  to  the  lease  and 
non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone value. As 
a Lessee the Group will individually access single lease components.  

Lease terms are negotiated on individual operational requirements 
and  contain  a  wide  range  of  different  terms  and  conditions.    The 
lease  agreements  do  not  impose  any  covenants  other  than  the 
security  interests  in  the  leased  assets  that  are  held  by  the  lessor.  
Leased assets are not used as security for borrowing purposes.  

Accounting judgements and estimates 
Estimation of useful lives of assets 
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and 
related depreciation charges for its property, plant and equipment. 
The  useful  lives  could  change  significantly  as  a  result  of  technical 
innovations  or  some  other  event.  The  depreciation  charge  will 
increase  where  the  useful  lives  are  less  than  previously  estimated 
lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been 
abandoned or sold will be written off or written down. 

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other 
indefinite life intangible assets 
The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-financial assets 
other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each 
reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated 
entity and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an 
impairment  trigger  exists,  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  asset  is 
determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-
use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and 
assumptions.

Mine properties 
Mine  development  expenditure  represents  the  acquisition  cost 
and/or  accumulated  exploration,  evaluation  and  development 
expenditure  in  respect  of  areas  of  interest  in  which  mining  has 
commenced. 

When further development expenditure is incurred in respect of a 
mine, after the commencement of production, such expenditure is 
carried  forward  as  part  of  the  mine  development  only  when 
substantial future economic benefits are established, otherwise such 
expenditure  is  classified  as  part  of  production  and  expensed  as 
incurred. 

Mine development costs are deferred until commercial production 
commences,  at  which  time  they  are  amortised  on  a  unit-of-
production  basis  over  mineable  reserves.  The  calculation  of 
amortisation takes into account future costs which will be incurred 
to develop all the mineable reserves.  Changes to mineable reserves 
are  applied  from  the  beginning  of  the  reporting  period  and  the 
amortisation charge is adjusted prospectively from the beginning of 
the period. 

Accounting judgements and estimates 
The Group applies the units of production method for amortisation 
of  its  life  of  mine  specific  assets,  which  results  in  an  amortisation 
charge  proportional  to  the  depletion  of  the  anticipated  remaining 
life of mine production. Amortisation has been based on indicated 
resource estimates. These calculations require the use of estimates 
and  assumptions  in  relation  to  reserves,  metallurgy  and  the 
complexity of future capital development requirements; changes to 
these  estimates  and  assumptions  will  impact  the  amortisation 
charge  in  the  consolidated  income  statement  and  asset  carrying 
values. 

Impairment of assets 
All  asset  values  are  reviewed  at  each  reporting  date  to  determine 
whether there is objective evidence that there have been events or 
changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying value may 
not  be  recoverable.    Where  an  indicator  of  impairment  exists,  a 
formal estimate of the recoverable amount is made.  An impairment 
loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of 
an asset or a cash generating unit (‘CGU’) exceeds the recoverable 
amount.    Impairment  losses  are  recognised  in  the  consolidated 
income statement.   

The Group assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date 
by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular 
assets that may lead to impairment.   

The identified CGU of the Group is:  Centennial Mining.  The carrying 
value of all CGUs are assessed when an indicator of impairment is 
identified  using  fair  value  less  costs  of  disposal  (‘Fair  Value’)  to 
calculate the recoverable amount.   

When  required  by  an  indicator  of  impairment,  fair  Value  is 
determined  as  the  net  present  value  of  the  estimated  future  cash 
flows.    Future  cash  flows  are  based  on  life-of-mine  plans  using 
market based commodity price quantities of ore reserves, operating  

KAISER REEF LIMITED 2022 

costs  and  future  capital  expenditure.    Costs  to  dispose  have  been 
estimated by management.  

Accounting judgements and estimates - Impairment 
Significant  judgements  and  assumptions  are  required  in  making 
estimates of Fair Value. The CGU valuations are subject to variability 
in  key  assumptions  including,  but  not  limited  to:  long-term  gold 
prices,  currency  exchange  rates,  discount  rates,  production, 
operating  costs,  future  capital  expenditure  and  permitting  of  new 
mines.  An adverse change in one or more of the assumptions used 
to  estimate  Fair  Value  could  result  in  a  reduction  in  a  CGU’s 
recoverable value.  This could lead to the recognition of impairment 
losses in the future.   

At  30  June  2022,  the  Group  determined  that  there  were  no 
indicators of impairment for the Centennial Mining cash generating 
unit due to strong spot gold and consensus forecast prices at 30 June 
2022, existing long life mining at A1 mine and further development 
of  resources,  together  with  the  relatively  low  carrying  value  to 
recover. 

Ore Reserves 
The  Group  determines  and  reports  Ore  Reserves  under  the  2012 
edition  of  the  Australian  Code  for  Reporting  of  Mineral  Resources 
and Ore Reserves, known as the JORC Code.  The JORC Code requires 
the use of reasonable investment assumptions to calculate reserves. 
Due  to  the  fact  that  economic  assumptions  used  to  estimate 
reserves  change  from  period  to  period,  and  geological  data  is 
generated  during  the  course  of  operations,  estimates  of  reserves 
may change from period to period. 

Accounting judgements and estimates– Ore Reserves 
Reserves are estimates of the amount of gold product that can be 
economically  extracted  from  the  Group’s  properties.  In  order  to 
calculate reserves, estimates and assumptions are required about a 
range  of  geological,  technical  and  economic  factors,  including 
quantities,  grades,  production 
rates, 
production costs, future capital requirements, short and long term 
commodity prices and exchange rates. 

techniques, 

recovery 

Estimating the quantity and/or grade of reserves requires the size, 
shape  and  depth  of  ore  bodies  to  be  determined  by  analysing 
geological  data.  This  process  may  require  complex  and  difficult 
geological judgements and calculations to interpret the data. 

Changes in reported reserves may affect the Group’s financial results 
and financial position in a number of ways, including: 

•  Asset  carrying  values  may  be  impacted  due  to  changes  in 

estimated future cash flows. 

•  The recognition of deferred tax assets. 

•  Depreciation  and  amortisation  charged  in  the  consolidated 
income  statement  may  change  where  such  charges  are 
calculated using the units of production basis. 

•  Capital development deferred in the balance sheet or charged in 
the  consolidated  income  statement  may  change  due  to  a 
revision in the development amortisation rates. 

•  Decommissioning, site restoration and environmental provisions 
in  estimated  reserves  affect 

may  change  where  changes

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in 
respect  of  each  identifiable  area  of  interest.  These  costs  are  only 
carried forward to the extent that the Group holds current rights to 
tenure  and  the  costs  are  expected  to  be  recouped  through  the 
successful development of the area or where activities in the area 
have not yet reach a stage that  permits reasonable assessment  of 
the existence of economically recoverable reserves. 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure consists of an accumulation 
of  acquisition  costs  and  direct  exploration  and  evaluation  costs 
incurred,  together  with  an  allocation  of  directly  related  overhead 
expenditure. 

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine 
the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward cost in relation 
to that area of interest. 

When an area of interest is abandoned, or the Directors determine 
it is not commercially viable to pursue, accumulated costs in respect 
of that area are written off in the period the decision is made. 

Impairment expense* 

On  the  10  May  2022,  the  Group  announced  the  divestment 
discussion of its NSW Stuart town tenements to Checkmate Minerals 
Limited  for  $25,000  deposit,  5,000,000  shares  in  the  capital  of 
Checkmate Minerals Limited with a deemed issue price of $0.20 and 
Deferred Consideration: On the first anniversary of the Company’s 
admission to ASX, buyer is to: 

Issue  to  KAU  a  total  $500,000  in  shares  (deemed  issue  price  per 
share  based  on  market  price)  OR  Make  a  cash  payment  in  the 
amount of $500,000 by way of electronic funds prior to such date.  

Given the information arising as part of the divestment discussions, 
it  was  determined  that  under  AASB  6  section  20(d)  the  carrying 
amount of the exploration and evaluation asset was unlikely to be 
recovered 
in  full  from  successful  development  or  by  sale. 
Accordingly,  the  asset  was  subject  to  impairment  of  $311,288  to 
reflect its evaluated value of $1,694,444. 

Accounting judgements and estimates 
Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis 
that the consolidated entity will commence commercial production 
in  the  future,  from  which  time  the  costs  will  be  amortised  in 
proportion  to  the  depletion  of  the  mineral  resources.  Key 
judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which 
includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities 
and  allocating  overheads  between  those  that  are  expensed  and 
capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected 
to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the 
relevant  mining  interest.  Factors  that  could  impact  the  future 
commercial production at the mine include the level of reserves and 
resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost 
of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To 
the  extent  that  capitalised  costs  are  determined  not  to  be 
recoverable  in  the  future,  they  will  be  written  off  in  the  period  in 
which this determination is made.

Provisions,  including  those  for  legal  claims  and  rehabilitation  and 
restoration costs, are recognised when the Group has a present legal 
or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is more likely 
than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the 
obligation, and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions 
are not recognised for future operating losses. 

The  Group  has  obligations  to  dismantle,  remove,  restore  and 
rehabilitate  certain  items  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  and 
areas of disturbance during mining operations. 

A  provision  is  made  for  the  estimated  cost  of  rehabilitation  and 
restoration  of  areas  disturbed  during  mining  operations  up  to 
reporting date but not yet rehabilitated.  The provision also includes 
estimated  costs  of  dismantling  and  removing  the  assets  and 
restoring the site on which they are located.  The provision is based 
on current estimates of costs to rehabilitate such areas, discounted 
to  their  present  value  based  on  expected  future  cash  flows.    The 
estimated  cost  of  rehabilitation  includes  the  current  cost  of 
contouring,  topsoiling  and  revegetation  to  meet 
legislative 
requirements.  Changes in estimates are dealt with on a prospective 
basis as they arise. 

There  is  some  uncertainty  as  to  the  extent  of  rehabilitation 
obligations  that  will  be  incurred  due  to  the  impact  of  potential 
changes  in  environmental  legislation  and  many  other  factors 
(including  future  developments,  changes  in  technology  and  price 
increases).  The  rehabilitation 
is  remeasured  at  each 
reporting date in line with changes in the timing and /or amounts of 
the costs to be incurred and discount rates.  The liability is adjusted 
for changes in estimates.  Adjustments to the estimated amount and 
timing  of  future  rehabilitation  and  restoration  cash  flows  are  a 
normal  occurrence  in  light  of  the  significant  judgments  and 
estimates involved.  

liability 

As the value of the provision represents the discounted value of the 
present  obligation  to  restore,  dismantle  and  rehabilitate,  the 
increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as 
a borrowing cost.  A large proportion of the outflows are expected 
to occur at the time the respective mines are closed. 

Accounting judgements and estimates 
Mine  rehabilitation  provision  requires  significant  estimates  and 
assumptions as there are many transactions and other factors that 
will  ultimately  affect  the  liability  to  rehabilitate  the  mine  sites. 
Factors that will affect this liability include changes in regulations, 
prices fluctuations, changes in technology, changes in timing of cash 
flows which are based on life of mine plans and changes to discount 
rates. When these factors change or are known in the future, such 
differences  will  impact  the  mine  rehabilitation  provision  in  the 
period in which it becomes known.

Trade  receivables  are  recognised 
initially  at  fair  value  and 
subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost,  less  provision  for 
doubtful debts. Trade receivables are usually due for settlement no 
more  than  30  days  from  the  date  of  recognition.    Cash  placed  on 
deposit with a financial institution to secure bank guarantee facilities 
and  restricted  from  use  (‘restricted  cash’)  within  the  business  is 
disclosed as part of trade and other receivables. 

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. 
Debts  which  are  known  to  be  uncollectible  are  written  off.  The 
amount  of  the  provision  for  doubtful  receivables  is  the  difference 
between  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  and  the  present  value  of 
estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate.  

The Group does not have material trade receivables for which there 
is an expected credit loss though the consolidated income statement. 
It only sells to reputable banks, refiners and commodity traders. 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any 
allowance for expected credit losses.

Raw materials and consumables, ore stockpiles,  gold-in-circuit and 
bullion on  hand are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable 
value.  

Cost  comprises  direct  materials,  direct  labour  and  an  appropriate 
proportion  of  variable  and  fixed  overhead  expenditure  relating  to 
mining activities, the latter  being allocated on the basis of normal 
operating  capacity.  Costs  are  assigned  to  individual  items  of 
inventory  on  the  basis  of  weighted  average  costs.  Net  realisable 
value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, 
less  the  estimated  costs  of  completion  and  the  estimated  costs 
necessary to make the sale. 

Accounting judgements and estimates 
The calculation of net realisable value (NRV) for ore stockpiles, gold 
in  circuit  and  bullion  on  hand  involves  significant  judgement  and 
estimation in relation to timing and cost of processing, future gold 
prices, exchange rates and processing recoveries. A change in any of 
these assumptions will alter the estimated NRV and may therefore 
impact the carrying value of inventories. 

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided 
to  the  Group  prior  to  the  end  of  the  financial  year,  which  remain 
unpaid  as  at  reporting  date.  The  amounts  are  unsecured  and  are 
usually paid within 30 days from the end of the month of recognition.

Notes to the Financial Report 
11  Financial risk management 
Financial risk management 

The Group’s management of financial risk is aimed at ensuring net 
cash flows are sufficient to withstand significant changes in cash flow 
under certain risk scenarios and still meet all financial commitments 
as and when they fall due.  The Group continually monitors and tests 
its  forecast  financial  position  and  has  a  detailed  planning  process 
that forms the basis of all cash flow forecasting. 

The  Group's  normal  business  activities  expose  it  to  a  variety  of 
financial  risk,  being:  market  risk  (especially  gold  price  and  foreign 
currency  risk),  credit  risk  and  liquidity  risk.    The  Group  may  use 
derivative  instruments  as  appropriate  to  manage  certain  risk 
exposures. 

Risk  management  in  relation  to  financial  risk  is  carried  out  by  a 
centralised  executive function in accordance with Board approved 
directives  that  underpin  policies  and  processes.      The  Executive 
Leadership  Team  (and  when  required  external  consultants)  assist 
the  Board 
in  relation  to 
forecasted  risk  profiles,  risk  issues,  risk  mitigation  strategies  and 
compliance  with  company  policy.    The  executive  team  regularly 
reports the findings to the Board. 

in  discharging  their  responsibilities 

(a)  Market risk 

Market  risk  is  the  risk  that  changes  in  market  prices,  such  as 
commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity 
prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of 
financial instruments, cash flows and financial position.  The Group 
may enter into derivatives, and also incur financial liabilities, in order 
to manage market risks.  All such transactions are carried out within 
directives and policies approved by the Board. 

(b)  Currency risk 

The currencies in which transactions primarily are denominated are 
Australian Dollars. The Group is exposed to currency risk only to the 
extent of currency fluctuation effects on gold sales and purchases of 
import inventories.  

(c) 

Interest rate exposures 

The  Board  manages  the  interest  rate  exposures.    Any  decision  to 
hedge interest rate risk is assessed in relation to the overall Group 
exposure,  the  prevailing  interest  rate  market,  and  any  funding 
counterparty requirements.   

(d)  Capital management 

The Group’s total capital is defined as total shareholders’ funds plus 
net debt.  The Group aims to maintain an optimal capital structure 
to reduce the cost of capital and maximise shareholder returns.  The 

KAISER REEF LIMITED 2022 

Group has a capital management plan that is reviewed by the Board 
on a regular basis. 

The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements 
other than normal banking requirements. 

(e) 

Credit risk 

Credit  risk  is  the  risk  that  a  counter  party  does  not  meet  its 
obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, with 
a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of the financial 
assets  as  recorded  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements.    The 
Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily 
customer  receivables)  and  from  its  financing  activities,  including 
deposits with banks and financial institutions. 

Credit risks related to receivables 

Based  on  historic  rates  of  default,  the  Group  believes  that  no 
impairment  has  occurred  with  respect  to  trade  receivables,  and 
none of the trade receivables at 30 June 2022 were past due. 

(f) 

Fair value estimation 

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and non-interest bearing 
monetary  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  of  the  Group 
approximates  carrying  value.    The  fair  value  of  other  monetary 
financial assets and financial liabilities is based upon market prices. 

The  fair  value  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  must  be 
estimated  for  recognition  and  measurement,  or  for  disclosure 
purposes. 

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such 
as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and securities) is based on 
quoted market prices at the balance sheet date.  The quoted market 
price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid 
price; the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is 
the current ask price. 

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active 
market  (for  example,  over  the  counter  derivatives)  is  determined 
using  generally  accepted  valuation  techniques.    The  Group  uses  a 
variety  of  methods  and  makes  assumptions  that  are  based  on 
market conditions existing at each balance date.   

The  nominal  value  less  estimated  credit  adjustments  of  trade 
receivables  and  payables  are  assumed  to  approximate  their  fair 
values.  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.

Liquidity risk 

KAISER REEF LIMITED 2022 

Prudent liquidity risk management requires maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate 
amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions.  

The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and matching maturity profiles of financial assets 
and liabilities.  The Group undertakes sensitivity analysis to stress test the operational cash flows, which are matched with capital commitments 
to assess liquidity requirements.  The capital management plan provides the analysis and actions required in detail for the next twelve months 
and longer term.

cost.  Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) 
and  the  redemption  amount  is  recognised  in  the  consolidated 
income  statement  over  the  period  of  the  borrowings  using  the 
effective interest method.  Fees paid on the establishment of loan 
facilities, which are not incremental costs relating to the actual draw 
down of the facility, are recognised as prepayments and amortised 
on a straight line basis over the term of the facility. 

Loans to Directors and their related parties 

No loans have been made  to any Directors or any of their related

KAISER REEF LIMITED 2022 

Wages and salaries, and annual leave 

Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits 
and  annual  leave  expected  to  be  paid  within  12  months  of  the 
reporting  date,  are  recognised  in  other  payables  in  respect  of 
employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at 
the amounts expected to be paid, including expected on-costs, when 
the liabilities are settled.  

Retirement benefit obligations 

Contributions  to  defined  contribution  funds  are  recognised  as  an 
expense as  they are  due and become payable.  The Group has no 
obligations in respect of defined benefit funds. 

Equity settled share-based payments 

Performance  rights  issued  to  employees  are  recognised  as  an 
expense by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at 
the  date  at  which  they  are  granted.    Refer  to  Note  16  for  further 
information. 

Executive incentives 

Senior executives may be eligible for short term incentive payments 
(“STI”)  subject  to  achievement  of  key  performance  indicators, 
approved by the Board of Directors. The Group recognises a liability 
and  an  expense  for  STIs  in  the  reporting  period  during  which  the 
service is provided by the employee. 

Disclosures relating to Directors and key management personnel are 
included within the Remuneration Report, with the exception of the 
table opposite. 

Employee  related  and  other  provisions  are  recognised  when  the 
Group  has  a  present  legal  or  constructive  obligation  as  a  result  of 
past events, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources 
will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount has been 
reliably estimated.   

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that 
an  outflow  will  be  required  in  settlement  is  determined  by 
considering  the  class  of  obligations  as  a  whole.  A  provision  is 
recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any 
one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. 

Long service leave 

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for 
employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected 
future payments to be made, plus expected on-costs, in respect of 
services  provided  by  employees  up  to  the  reporting  date. 
Consideration is given to the expected future wage and salary levels, 
experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected 
future payments are discounted with reference to market yields on 
corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as 
closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

The Group provides benefits to KMP of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for 
shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions). The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference 
to  the  fair  value  of  the  equity  instruments  at  the  date  at  which  they  are  granted.  Accounting  standards  preclude  the  reversal  through  the 
consolidated income statement of amounts which have been booked in the share based payments reserve for performance rights, and which 
satisfy service conditions but do not vest due to market conditions.

Equity-settled  share-based  compensation  benefits  are  provided  to 
employees.  Equity-settled  transactions  are  awards  of  shares,  or 
options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for 
the rendering of services.  

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on 
grant  date.  Fair  value  is  determined  using  either  the  Trinomial  or 
Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model  that  takes  into  account  the 
exercise  price,  the  term  of  the  option,  the  impact  of  dilution,  the 
share  price  at  grant  date  and  expected  price  volatility  of  the 
underlying  share,  the  expected  dividend  yield  and  the  risk  free 
interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting 
conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity 
receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. 
No account is taken of any other vesting conditions. 

 The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense 
with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The 
cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant 
date  fair  value  of  the  award,  the  best  estimate  of  the  number  of 
awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting 
period.  

The  amount  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  for  the  period  is  the 
cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts 
already recognised in previous periods. 

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair 
value.  Therefore  any  awards  subject  to  market  conditions  are 
considered  to  vest  irrespective  of  whether  or  not  that  market 
condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied. 

KAISER REEF LIMITED 2022 

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

 If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated 
entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as 
a  cancellation.    If  the  condition  is  not  within  the  control  of  the 
consolidated  entity  or  employee  and  is  not  satisfied  during  the 
vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised 
over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited. If 
equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested 
on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised 
immediately.  If  a  new  replacement  award  is  substituted  for  the 
cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they 
were a modification. 

Other Share Based Payments 

During  the  year  6,000,000  and  2,000,000  options  were  issued  to 
brokers and advisors for services provided in conjunction with the 
capital raising. These options were valued at $774,575 and $225,217 
respectively, based on the Black Scholes options pricing model and 
recognised as a reduction of equity as a cost of raising capital.

Stewart Howe, subject to shareholder approval. These shares were 
valued at $36,000 based on the closing share price at 13 May 2022 
of $0.18.   

Accounting judgements and estimates 
Share-based payment transactions 

The  consolidated  entity  measures  the  cost  of  equity-settled 
transactions  with  employees  by  reference  to  the  fair  value  of  the 
equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair 
value  is  determined  by  using  either  a  Black-Scholes  model  or 
Trinomial  Pricing  Model,  taking  into  account  the  terms  and 
conditions  upon  which  the 
instruments  were  granted.  The 
accounting  estimates  and  assumptions  relating  to  equity-settled 
share-based  payments  would  have  no  impact  on  the  carrying 
amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  within  the  next  annual  reporting 
period but may impact profit or loss and equity. 

Where  performance  rights  are  subject  to  vesting  conditions, 
Management has formed judgments around the likelihood of vesting 
conditions being met.

Notes to the Financial Report 
21  Contingencies 

The Directors are not aware of any contingencies for the year ending 
30 June 2022. 

22   Basis of preparation 
Basis of measurement 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  the 
historical cost basis, except for the following material items: 

• Share based payment arrangements are measured at fair value. 

Principles of consolidation - Subsidiaries 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets  and 
liabilities of all subsidiaries of Kaiser Reef Limited as at 30 June 2022 
(comparatives: 30 June 2021) and the results of all subsidiaries for 
the year ending 30 June 2022 (comparatives: period from 28 August 
2020 to 30 June 2021) as disclosed in Note 1. 

Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) 
over  which  the  Group  has  the  power  to  govern  the  financial  and 
operating  policies,  and  as  a  result  has  an  exposure  or  rights  to 
variable  returns,  generally  accompanying  a  shareholding  of  more 
than  one-half  of  the  voting  rights.  The  existence  and  effect  of 
potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible 
are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another 
entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control 
commences until the date control ceases.  

Intercompany  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised  gains  on 
transactions between Group companies 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 Group. 

Critical accounting judgement and estimates 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity 
with  AASB  and  IFRS  requires  management  to  make  judgements, 
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting 
policies and the  reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and 
expenses.  Actual  results  may  differ  from  these  estimates.  The 
estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing 
basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period 
in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.  

Going Concern 

This report is prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the 
continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets 
and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.  

For  the  year  ended  30  June  2022  the  Group  recorded  a  loss  of 
$2,262,840  (2021:    a  loss  of  $11,806,825),  net  cash  inflows  from 
operating  activities  of  $5,645,520  (2021:  net  cash  outflows  from 
operating  activities  of  $2,476,152)  and  a  closing  cash  balance  of 
$6,581,919 (2021: closing cash balance of $4,787,279). 

The  Group  has  forecasted  positive  cash  flow  from  operating 
activities  in  the  next  12  months.  The  Directors  have  assessed  the 
cash flow requirements for the  12 month period from the date  of 
approval of the financial statements and its impact on the Group and 
believe there will be sufficient funds to meet the Group’s working 
capital requirements. 

KAISER REEF LIMITED 2022 

23  Accounting standards 

New Standards adopted 
The accounting policies applied  by the Group in this 30 June 2022 
consolidated  financial  report  are  consistent  with  Australian 
Accounting Standards. All new and amended Australian Accounting 
Standards  and  interpretations  mandatory  as  at  1  July  2021  to  the 
group have been adopted and have not had a material impact upon 
recognition. 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets  and 
liabilities of all subsidiaries of Kaiser Reef Limited as at 30 June 2022 
(comparatives: 30 June 2021) and the results of all subsidiaries for 
the year ending 30 June 2022 (comparatives: period from 28 August 
2020 to 30 June 2021) as disclosed in Note 1. 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory 
or early adopted 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  that  have 
recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have 
not  been  early  adopted  by  the  consolidated  entity  for  the  annual 
reporting period ended 30 June  2022. The consolidated  entity  has 
not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations. 

Critical accounting judgement and estimates 

The  preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements  requires 
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that 
affect  the  application  of  accounting  policies  and  the  reported 
amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities,  income  and  expenses.  Actual 
results may differ from these estimates.
