REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Joshua Copper Project - Chile
Highlights
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Manhattan enters into an agreement to acquire up to an 80% interest in the Joshua Copper Porphyry Project in
Chile with Helix Resources Limited (Helix).
On 8 June 2018 the Company agreed to terminate its proposed acquisition by way of a merger and RTO of New
Zealand iron and heavy mineral sands development company, TTR, and immediately entered into the agreement
with Helix to fund the drilling at the Joshua Copper Project
The project, located 350km north of Santiago in the Coastal Belt at low altitude, is close to infrastructure with a
6.5km by 2km alteration system and coincident chargeable induced polarisation geophysical anomaly
Hydrothermal alteration is similar to the world class Andacollo copper gold deposit 45km to NNW (400Mt at
0.34%Cu) mined by Teck Resources Limited
Initial drill testing of less than 5% of the alteration system intersected multiple intersections of copper (plus
molybdenum and gold) mineralisation including 400m at 0.25%Cu, 352m at 0.27%Cu and 240m at 0.22%Cu
Manhattan can acquire 80% equity in the Joshua copper gold porphyry project by completing 8,000m of drilling
and a Bankable Feasibility Study
The first stage commitment to sole fund $1,000,000 of exploration and complete 3,000m of drilling will be funded
by a $3,000,000 capital raise approved by shareholders on 25 July 2018
The Joshua Copper Project gives Manhattan exposure to the significant upside of a potential new copper
porphyry discovery in Chile, a world class mining destination.
On 8 June 2018 Manhattan Corporation Limited (Manhattan) entered into a binding heads of agreement (Joshua
Agreement) with Helix Resources Limited (ASX:HLX”) (Helix) to drill test the Joshua Copper Porphyry Project in Chile,
South America (Joshua Project).
Manhattan will have the right to earn up to an 80% equity in the Joshua Project by carrying out 8,000m of diamond drilling
and completing a Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) over three stages.
The first stage and minimum commitment is an option where Manhattan must sole fund expenditure of AUD$1,000,000
with the aim of completing 3,000m of diamond drilling (Figures 1 & 2).
The agreement gives Manhattan exposure to the significant upside of a potential new copper porphyry discovery in a
world class mining destination:
•
•
•
•
Discovered (2011) and 100% owned by Helix;
Located 350km north of Santiago in the Coastal Belt, at low altitude and close to infrastructure;
Large porphyry related alteration system - 6.5km by 2km;
Coincident with large Induced Polarisation (IP) chargeable response;
Manhattan Corporation Limited

Annual Report to Shareholders
Directors Report
•
Alteration response similar to the Andacollo Cu-Au deposit (45km to NNW, 400mt @0.34% Cu) mined and
operated by Teck;
• Only Central Zone Stockwork has been drill tested so far - confirms porphyry provenance;
•
Drilling to date (16 RC-diamond holes) has tested less than 5% of the alteration system and less than 10%
of the +15 mV/V IP chargeability anomaly; and
Significant multiple intersections of copper mineralisation (+ Mo, Au) from the Joshua Central Zone
Stockwork including:
•
•
•
•
400m @ 0.25%Cu;
352m @ 0.27%Cu; and
240m @ 0.22%Cu
A recent technical review of the Joshua Copper Porphyry project by the Company has identified new and exciting drill
targets with potential for higher grade mineralisation (>0.5%Cu) in the Joshua system which, if discovered, could
potentially lead to a significant economic copper porphyry deposit discovery. Significantly, 90% of the +15mV/V response,
which surrounds the central stockwork, is yet to be drill tested.
Helix’s well established in-country exploration team have been retained to manage the initial proposed 3,000m diamond
drill program, currently planned to commence in the third quarter of 2018.
Subsequent to year end, Manhattan raised AUD$2,900,000 at $0.005 per share. Shareholder approval to the capital raising
was obtained on 25 July 2018.
Key Terms of the Joshua Agreement
A summary of the material terms of the Joshua Agreement are:
•
Stage 1:
Helix has granted an option to Manhattan under which Manhattan must sole fund expenditure of $1,000,000
on the Project within 9 months of the commencement date, such expenditure to be expended on a proposed
3,000m diamond drilling programme (Option);
If Manhattan exercise the Option, then Manhattan shall have the right but not the obligation to earn up to an 80% JV
Interest as follows:
•
•
Stage 2:
Manhattan may earn a 51% JV Interest in the Project by sole funding the expenditure necessary to complete
a further 5,000m of drilling within 18 months of the commencement date; and
Stage 3:
At the completion of Stage 2, Manhattan may elect to earn a further 29% (giving it a total 80%) JV Interest by
sole funding expenditure up to the completion of a BFS in respect of the Project;
At Stage 2, Helix will be entitled to a royalty equal to 1% of the net smelter return derived from of material removed from
the Project; and
Helix will be the Manager of Stage 1. During Stage 2 and Stage 3, Manhattan will be the manager unless Helix and
Manhattan mutually agree that Helix is to be retained as manager.
The Joshua Agreement
The Joshua Agreement is conditional on receipt of any regulatory approvals required under all applicable laws and
regulations in relation to the entry into the Joshua Agreement and grant of the option within 3 months of the date of the
Joshua Agreement; and

FIGURE 1: JOSHUA COPPER PROJECT CHILE
Geophysical Anomaly Backs Up Large System Concept
An IP chargeability anomaly is coincident with the alteration system and significantly 90% of the +15mV/V response, which
surrounds the central stockwork is yet to be drill tested. This IP response is important, because it encompasses the ore
and ore-related alteration phases of many porphyry-related mineral systems around the world.

Exploration Status
Only the Central Zone (Silica cap)) has been drilled previously (2011, 2012, 2015) – 16 RC/diamond holes within an area
of only 700m by 500m, representing less than 5% of the total alteration footprint. From that “proof-of-concept” drilling,
significant multiple thick intersections of copper mineralisation (+ Mo-Au) were returned, including 400m @ 0.25% Cu,
352m @ 0.27% Cu, 240m @ 0.22% Cu were returned.
Immediate Exploration Program commenced September 2018
Manhattan is currently drilling the defined +15mV/V IP chargeability anomaly on notional 400m centres, targeting
>0.5%Cu zones.

PONTON URANIUM PROJECT
Western Australia
The Company is currently reviewing the importance of its Uranium portfolio to the Company and has pragmatically
decided to write off all exploration expenditure on these assets.
On 23 January 2017 Manhattan reported an upgraded JORC Code 2012 Inferred Resource for the Double 8 uranium
deposit at Ponton in WA of 26 million tonnes (Mt), for 17.2 million pounds (Mlb) grading 300ppm uranium oxide (U3O8)
at a 200ppm cutoff.
FIGURE 5: PONTON URANIUM PROJECT
The Inferred Resource estimate reported for Ponton project is:
•
Double 8 uranium deposit of 17.2Mlb U3O8 at 200ppm cutoff.
Exploration Results at Ponton, reported on 7 February 2014, have also identified four wide spaced drilled Exploration
Targets with tonnage ranges of 4 to 45Mt, grade ranges of 250 to 450ppm U3O8 totalling 33 to 67Mlb U3O8 at the 200ppm
U3O8 cutoff. In accordance with clause 17 of the JORC Code 2012, the potential quantity and grade reported as Exploration
Targets in this Report must be considered conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient exploration and drilling to
define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration and drilling will result in the determination of a Mineral
Resource.
The four Exploration Targets reported for the Ponton project are:
•
•
•
•
Double 8 of between 2.5 and 5.5Mlb U3O8;
Stallion South of between 8 and 16Mlb U3O8;
Highway South of between 8 and 16Mlb U3O8; and
Ponton of between 15 and 30Mlb U3O8
The Double 8 Inferred Resource estimate and the Double 8, Stallion South, Highway South and Ponton Exploration Targets
reported here were prepared by the Company’s independent resource consultants H&S Consultants (H&SC).

2. Remuneration Governance
The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors. The Board
assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of such officers on a periodic basis by reference
to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the
retention of a high quality board and executive team. Currently the Group does not link the nature and amount of the
emoluments of such officers to the Group’s financial or operational performance. The expected outcome of this
remuneration structure is to retain and motivate Directors.
As part of its Corporate Governance Policies and Procedures, the Board has adopted a formal Remuneration Committee
Charter. Due to the current size of the Group and number of Directors, the Board has elected not to create a separate
Remuneration Committee but has instead decided to undertake the function of the Committee as a full Board under the
guidance of the formal charter.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
________________________________________________________________________________
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2018
1.
CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial report of Manhattan Corporation Limited (“Manhattan Corporation” or “the Company”) and its
controlled entities (“the Group”) for the year ended 30 June 2018 was authorised for issue in accordance with a
resolution of the Directors on 14 September 2018.
Manhattan Corporation Limited is a for profit company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares
are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The nature of the operations and the principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Financial Report are set out below. These
policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
The Financial Statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Manhattan Corporation Limited and its
subsidiary. The Financial Statements are presented in the Australian currency. Manhattan Corporation Limited is
a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The financial statements were authorised
for issue by the Directors on 14 September 2018. The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial
statements.
(a)
Basis of Preparation
This general purpose Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian
Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.
Compliance with IFRS
The Financial Statements of Manhattan Corporation Limited also complies with International Financial
Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Historical Cost Convention
These Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AIFRS requires the use of certain critical
accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the
Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas
where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Financial Statements are disclosed in Note 2.
Going Concern
The Company incurred a loss for the year of $3,597,940 (2017: $2,799,651) and a net cash inflow from
operating activities of $58,718 (2017: outflow: $129,234).
At 30 June 2018 the Group had cash assets of $40,799 (2017: $187,493) and working capital deficiency of
$620,700 (2017: working capital $121,266).
Manhattan Corporation Limited
22
Annual Report to Shareholders
The Company has raised $2,900,000 subsequent to 30 June 2018 see Note 19 ‘Subsequent Events at End of
Financial Year’. Based on this fact, the Directors consider it appropriate that the finance report be prepared
on a going concern basis.
(b)
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated Financial Statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of the Company’s wholly owned
subsidiary Manhattan Resources Pty Ltd as at 30 June 2018 and the results of the subsidiary for the year
then ended.
Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power
to govern the financial and operating policies, so as to obtain benefits from its activities, 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.
The Financial Statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Parent Entity,
using consistent accounting policies. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where
necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-
consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions and balances, income and expenses and profits and losses between Group
companies, are eliminated.
Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group's
equity therein. Minority interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original
business combination and the minority's share of changes in equity since the date of the combination.
Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority's interest in the subsidiary's equity are allocated
against the interests of the Group except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able
to make an additional investment to cover the losses.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the Statement of Financial Position of the Company.
(c)
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief
operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources
and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the full Board of Directors.
(d)
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as
revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that
future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s
activities as described below. The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measurable until all
contingencies relating to the sale have been resolved. The Group bases its estimates on historical results,
taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each
arrangement.
(e)
Income Tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income
based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and
liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
Manhattan Corporation Limited
23
Annual Report to Shareholders
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or
liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither
accounting, nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that
have been enacted or substantially enacted by the year ending 30 June and are expected to apply when the
related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying
amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the
timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse
in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax
assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax
assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends
either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Current and
deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in
equity.
(f)
Impairment of Assets
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are
separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or
company of assets (cash generating units). Non financial assets other than goodwill that suffered
impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
(g)
Acquisition of Assets
Assets including exploration interests acquired are initially recorded at their cost of acquisition on the date
of acquisition, being the fair value of the consideration provided plus incidental costs directly attributable
to the acquisition.
When equity instruments are issued as consideration, their market price at the end of acquisition is used as
fair value, except where the notional price at which they could be placed in the market is a better indication
of fair value.
(h)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits
held at call with financial institutions, other short term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.
(i)
Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each
identifiable area of interest. These 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.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which
the decision to abandon the area is made.
Manhattan Corporation Limited
24
Annual Report to Shareholders
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over
the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to
carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
(j)
Trade and Other Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of
Financial Year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of
recognition.
(k)
Contributed Equity
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.
(l)
Investments and Other Financial Assets
Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are
classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loan and receivables, or available for
sale investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially they are measured at fair
value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable
transaction costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and,
when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year end.
Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss
This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading, and those designated at fair value
through profit or loss on initial recognition. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired
principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management. The policy of
management is to designate a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss if there exists the possibility
it will be sold in the short term and the asset is subject to frequent changes in value. Derivatives are also
categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified
as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realised within twelve months of
the year ending 30 June.
Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not
quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a
debtor with no intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with
maturities greater than twelve months after the year ending 30 June which are classified as non current
assets. Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the year ending 30 June.
Available for Sale Financial Assets
Available for sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives
that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included
in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within twelve months of
the year ending 30 June.
Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade date being the date on which the Group
commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs
for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognised when
Manhattan Corporation Limited
25
Annual Report to Shareholders
the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the
Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Available for sale financial assets and financial assets designated through profit or loss are subsequently
carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held to maturity investments are carried at amortised cost
using the effective interest rate method. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in
the fair value of the “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” category are included in the income
statement in the period in which they arise. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair
value of non-monetary securities classified as available for sale are recognised in equity in the net unrealised
gains reserve. When securities classified as available for sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair
value adjustments previously reported in equity are included in the income statement as gains and losses
on disposal of investment securities.
The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group
of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or
prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered in determining whether the
security is impaired. If any such evidence exists for available for sale financial assets, the cumulative loss,
measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment
loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit and loss is transferred from equity to the income
statement. Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments classified as held
for sale are not reversed through the income statement.
(m) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred
is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition
of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount
of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables
in the year ending 30 June.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or
financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as
operating cash flow.
(n)
Employee Benefit Provisions
Wages and Salaries, Annual Leave and Sick Leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave
expected to be settled within 12 months of the year ending 30 June are recognised in respect of employees'
services rendered up to the year ending 30 June and measured at amounts expected to be paid when the
liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non accumulating sick leave are recognised when leave is taken and
measured at the actual rates paid or payable. Liabilities for wages and salaries, and annual leave are
included as part of Other Payables.
Long Service Leave
Liabilities for long service leave are recognised as part of the provision for employee benefits and measured
as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees
to the year ending 30 June using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future
salaries and wages levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future
payments are discounted using national government bond rates at the year ending 30 June with terms to
maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Manhattan Corporation Limited
26
Annual Report to Shareholders
Share Based Payments
The Group provides benefits to employees (including Directors) 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 granted is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding
increase in equity (share option reserve). The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the
period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. Fair value is determined
by an independent valuator using a Black and Scholes option pricing model. In determining fair value, no
account is taken of any performance conditions other than those related to the share price of Manhattan
("Market Conditions").
(o)
Earnings Per Share
Basic Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders of the Group,
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 bonus elements in ordinary shares
issued during the year.
Diluted Earnings Per Share
Diluted earnings per share adjust 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 additional ordinary shares that would have
been outstanding assuming the conversions of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(p)
New Accounting Standards and UIG Interpretations
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30
June 2018 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the
impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below. New standards and interpretations not
mentioned are considered unlikely to impact on the financial reporting of the Group.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January
2018).
AASB 9 (December 2014) is a new Principal standard which replaces AASB 139. This new Principal version
supersedes AASB 9 issued in December 2009 (as amended) and AASB 9 (issued in December 2010) and
includes a model for classification and measurement, a single, forward-looking ‘expected loss’ impairment
model and a substantially-reformed approach to hedge accounting.
AASB 9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. However, the
Standard is available for early adoption. The own credit changes can be early applied in isolation without
otherwise changing the accounting for financial instruments.
The final version of AASB 9 introduces a new expected-loss impairment model that will require more timely
recognition of expected credit losses. Specifically, the new Standard requires entities to account for
expected credit losses from when financial instruments are first recognised and to recognise full lifetime
expected losses on a timelier basis.
Amendments to AASB 9 (December 2009 & 2010 editions) (AASB 2013-9) issued in December 2013 included
the new hedge accounting requirements, including changes to hedge effectiveness testing, treatment of
hedging costs, risk components that can be hedged and disclosures.
AASB 9 includes requirements for a simpler approach for classification and measurement of financial assets
Manhattan Corporation Limited
27
Annual Report to Shareholders
compared with the requirements of AASB 139.
The main changes are described below.
(a)
(b)
(c)
Financial assets that are debt instruments will be classified based on (1) the objective of the entity’s
business model for managing the financial assets; (2) the characteristics of the contractual cash
flows.
Allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in
equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect
of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is
no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument.
Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial
recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition
inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses
on them, on different bases.
(d) Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities the change in fair value is to be accounted
for as follows:
•
•
The change attributable to changes in credit risk are presented in other comprehensive
income (OCI); and
The remaining change is presented in profit or loss.
AASB 9 also removes the volatility in profit or loss that was caused by changes in the credit risk of liabilities
elected to be measured at fair value. This change in accounting means that gains caused by the
deterioration of an entity’s own credit risk on such liabilities are no longer recognised in profit or loss.
Consequential amendments were also made to other standards as a result of AASB 9, introduced by AASB
2009-11 and superseded by AASB 2010-7, AASB 2010-10 and AASB 2014-1 – Part E.
AASB 2014-7 incorporates the consequential amendments arising from the issuance of AASB 9 in December
2014.
AASB 2014-8 limits the application of the existing versions of AASB 9 (AASB 9 (December 2009) and AASB 9
(December 2010)) from 1 February 2015 and applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1
January 2015.
Based on the financial assets and liabilities currently held, the Group does not anticipate any impact on the
Financial Statements upon adoption of this standard. The Group does not presently engage in hedge
accounting.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing
on or after 1 January 2017).
In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which replaces IAS 11
Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue and related interpretations (IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes,
IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers and
SIC-31 Revenue-Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services). The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an
entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount
that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or
services. An entity recognises revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following
steps:
a)
b)
c)
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Manhattan Corporation Limited
28
Annual Report to Shareholders
d)
e)
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Early application of this standard is permitted. AASB 2014-5 incorporates the consequential amendments
to a number of Australian Accounting Standards (including Interpretations) arising from the issuance of
AASB 15.
There will be no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.
AASB 16 Leases (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019).
The key features of AASB 16 are as follows:
Lessee accounting:
•
•
•
Lessees are required to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12
months, unless the underlying asset is of low value.
A lessee measures right-of-use assets similarly to other non-financial assets and lease liabilities
similarly to other financial liabilities.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. The
measurement includes non-cancellable lease payments (including inflation-linked payments), and
also includes payments to be made in optional periods if the lessee is reasonable certain to exercise
an option to extend the lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease.
•
IFRS 16 contains disclosure requirements for lessees.
Lessor accounting:
•
•
AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in AASB 117. Accordingly,
a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those
two types of leases differently.
AASB 16 also requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors that will improve information
disclosed about a lessor’s risk exposure, particularly to residual value risk.
The new standard will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early adoption
is permitted, provided the new revenue standard, AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, has
been applied, or is applied at the same date as AASB 16.
The effect of this amendment on the Group’s Financial Statements has yet to be determined.
3. 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.
Key Estimates: Impairment of Exploration and Exploration Expenditure
The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may
lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is
determined by Value in use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts and incorporate a number
of key estimates. The Group has made an impairment charge for the year which has been recognised in the Income
Statement.
Manhattan Corporation Limited
29
Annual Report to Shareholders
Share Based Payment Transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity settled share based payments at fair value at the grant date using the Black
and Scholes model taking into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share
price at the grant date, the expected volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and risk free
interest rate for the term of the option.
4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group operates in one segment, being mineral resource exploration and assessment of mineral projects in
Chile.
5. 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 the financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial
performance of the Group. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments, however the Group uses
different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity
analysis in the case of interest rate and other price risks and aging analysis for credit risk.
Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors with assistance from suitably qualified external and
internal advisors. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management and further policies will evolve
commensurate with the evolution and growth of the Group.
(a) Market Risk
(i)
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Group does not currently operate internationally and therefore its exposure to foreign exchange
risk arising from currency exposures is limited.
(ii)
Price Risk
The Group does not currently hold any equity investments so it is not exposed to equity securities
price risk. The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk as the Group is still carrying out
exploration.
(iii)
Cash Flow and Fair Value Interest Rate Risk
The Group’s only interest rate risk arises from cash and cash equivalents. Term deposits and current
accounts held with variable interest rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group
does not consider this to be material to the Group and have therefore not undertaken any further
analysis of risk exposure.
(b)
Credit Risk
Credit risk is managed by the Board for the Group. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents as well
as credit exposure including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. All cash balances held at
banks are held at internationally recognised institutions, with minimum independently rated rates of ‘A’.
The majority of receivables are immaterial to the Group. Given this the credit quality of financial assets that
are neither past due or impaired can be assessed by reference to historical information about default rates.
The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount of the financial assets of cash and trade and
other receivables to the value of $50,648 (2017: $198,373).
The following financial assets of the Group are neither past due or impaired:

50,648
198,373
Prudent liquidity risk management implies 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 the maturity profits of financial assets and liabilities. As at reporting date the Group
had sufficient cash reserves to meet its requirements. The Group therefore had no credit standby facilities
or arrangements for further funding in place.
The financial liabilities of the Group at reporting date were trade payables incurred in the normal course of
the business of $671,796 (2017: $77,107). These were non-interest bearing and were due within the normal
30 to 60 days terms of creditor payments. The Group had no borrowings during the year and has therefore
not undertaken any further analysis of risk exposure.
(d)
Fair Value Estimation
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for
disclosure purposes.
The carrying value less any required impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed
to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

There is no impact from 16,000,000 options outstanding at 30 June 2018 (2017: 16,000,000 options) on the loss
per share calculation because they are anti-dilutive. These options could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future.
On 1 August 2018, 580,000,000 ordinary shares and 100,000,000 share options were issued that would have
significantly changed or potentially changed the number of ordinary shares at the end of the period if those
transactions had have occurred before the end of the reporting period.
