Thankfully, over the past 12 months we have seen a minor resurgence in the market’s appetite for mineral exploration, primarily due to rising gold and lithium commodity pricing. Conducive market conditions and prospective opportunities identified by management have enabled Maximus to successfully raise sufficient capital to fund gold and lithium exploration activities along with the acquisitions of the Spargoville tenement package and the nearby Burbanks Processing Plant. The survival of any junior exploration company is centered upon its shareholders and I thank all those who have participated in the recent capital raisings. During the 2016 financial year, Maximus’ exploration activities primarily focused on the Spargoville tenement package located in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. During this period, Maximus moved to full ownership of the Spargoville project which illustrates the high regard in which these tenements are held and the strong belief that significant gold mining potential exists. Additionally, a significant review of the lithium prospectivity of the Spargoville tenements was undertaken. This resulted in the discovery of substantial lithium bearing pegmatites at the Lefroy prospect. X-Ray diffraction analysis was also undertaken on selected samples of pegmatite sourced during previous exploration programs and confirmed the presence of lithium bearing minerals including spodumene. During the June quarter of 2016, Maximus undertook due diligence on the Burbanks Processing Plant. Maximus was selected as the preferred bidder, and subsequently announced the landmark signing of a binding Share Sale Agreement with ASX-listed Ramelius Resources Limited. Maximus acquired the facility for a total of $2.5 million which includes staged payments over a 24 month period. The facility previously treated ore from Ramelius’ Wattle Dam gold mine located within Maximus’ current Spargoville portfolio and consequently provides Maximus with the ability to easily monetise future exploration success. Maximus has identified numerous parties potentially requiring gold treatment options and will be able to provide toll milling services later in 2016 following refurbishment and recommissioning of the facility. The acquisition provides Maximus with a near-term revenue opportunity and a platform for further growth. Maximus is currently reviewing additional project opportunities and continues to operate on minimal budget overheads in order to preserve capital for exploration whilst meeting an acceptable standard for a listed company. Finally, I thank my fellow Directors and all of our shareholders for your continued support and commitment to Maximus during this past period. The Maximus board and management team will continue to work hard to capitalise on our existing portfolio and other value-accretive opportunities in a bid to create shareholder value in the 2017 financial year. Bob Kennedy CHAIRMAN Maximus Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2016 3 MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT Review of operations Spargoville Maximus acquired an initial 25% interest in the Spargoville tenement package located 70km south of Coolgardie in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia on 5 August 2015, with 3 years to complete exploration expenditure totalling a further $800,000 to results reported high grade intersections at significant widths including 24m @ 3.05g/t from 19m (including 8m @ 4.0 g/t from 35m) in hole MXENRC04, 7m @ 4.0 g/t from 33m (including 1m @ 14.7g/t from 34m) in hole MXENRC05 and 6m @ 1.98g/t from 81m (including 1m @ 5.3g/t from 81m) in hole MXENRC07 (refer to ASX announcement dated 28 January 2016). Further reverse circulation (RC) drilling was completed on the Eagles Nest tenement in March, testing strike and depth extensions of the orebody. Activities have progressed to generating cross-section and ore modelling and producing a JORC 2012 compliant ore resource. It is anticipated that a resource model will be completed secure 90% equity. The initial 25% stake of Tychean Resources in the December quarter 2016. Ltd’s (TYK) interest in the 36 tenements totalling approximately 11,485 hectares was secured for $200,000. In November 2015, Maximus achieved the stage 1 earn-in commitment following exploration expenditure of $200,000 and increased its equity share in the Spargoville tenements to 51%. A significant review of the Lithium prospectivity of the Spargoville tenements was undertaken in the March quarter. This resulted in the discovery of significant lithium bearing pegmatites on the Lefroy prospect in the north eastern region of the tenement package, which lies on the northern portion of the Southern In February 2016, following exploration expenditure totalling a Yilgarn Tantalum-Tin-Lithium Province, in the vicinity of two further $600,000 MXR achieved the Stage 2 earn-in commitment and securing 90% equity in the Spargoville project. In addition, major Lithium Projects; Mt Marion (Neometals) and Lepidolite Hill (Lithium Australia). The Lefroy prospect is located approximately MXR negotiated a second Sale Agreement with TYK securing 20km south of, and along strike of the Mt Marion Lithium project. the remaining 10% equity in the Spargoville project for 25 million The discovery was made during the Company’s first dedicated MXR shares. This final payment extinguishing all remaining TYK Lithium field exploration program designed to test a series of equity in the Spargoville tenement package and cancels the gold targets generated from auger drill results by previous explorers, royalty applicable under the first Sale Agreement. The pace at detailed aerial photography interpretations and geophysical which MXR moved to full ownership of the Spargoville project confirms the high regard in which these tenements are held and the strong belief that significant gold potential still exists at imaging. The discovery identified lithium bearing mica (lepidolite) over a strike length of 200m with results averaging 3.55% Li20, with a peak value of 4.97% Li20. several sites across the tenement package. In May, X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was undertaken on Following the commencement of the extensive soil sampling selected samples of pegmatite sourced during previous gold program across multiple targets on the Wattle Dam tenements, and nickel exploration programs and confirmed the presence of several high quality targets were identified. Maximus commenced lithium bearing minerals including spodumene. its maiden drilling campaign on Eagles Nest during December 2015 with a total of 8 holes completed for 809 metres. Final assay Narndee The Narndee tenements in Western Australia remain an important asset for the company, but minimal progress was made during 2015/16 due to the exploration priority given to the Spargoville acquisition. Analysis of previous RC drilling assay results confirmed elevated Copper grades in addition to substantial intervals of Copper and Zinc mineralisation and contributes to our confidence that the area has the potential to host a significant Volcanic Massive Sulphide (VMS) style Copper-Gold orebody, similar to other projects in the region. These RC drill results continued to encourage, but we were not able to plot consistent intervals of WA NARNDEE NT QLD Eromanga Basin NORTH GAWLER CRATON mineralisation across adjacent intersections. Yilgarn Craton SPARGOVILLE SA Gawler Craton MILLERS CREEK This analysis of previous RC drilling results confirmed the NSW ADELAIDE HILLS VIC presence of several electromagnetic (EM) conductors on the Narndee homestead tenement. A survey was undertaken in May 2016, with one target evaluated. Unfortunately the survey was terminated due to inclement weather, with plans to complete at a later date when access was re-established. Applications were submitted for 3 additional tenements Figure 1 Location of projects. TAS surrounding the company’s E59/908 tenement to protect the EM anomalies and potential future prospects. 4 Maximus Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2016 MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT (cont) Millers Creek (formerly Billa Kalina) Summary The Millers Creek project is located north-west of Lake Torrens Following the acquisition of the Spargoville tenement package in in the Eromanga Basin within the Woomera Prohibited Area 2015, Maximus was able to maintain an aggressive exploration (WPA) in central South Australia. The company retains 2 granted program on these tenements, despite continued difficult market tenements and 1 application for a total of 1,619 sq km. conditions throughout 2015/16 due to the high calibre of these Maximus continues to search for suitable Joint Venture parties to cooperate on drill testing the remaining targets on the Millers Creek tenements. The project is listed on a web hosted assets. Shareholders and the capital markets agreed with this opinion that these are high quality assets enabling MXR to raise funds to continue our exploration activities. Resources Notice board for Joint Venture or Sale. Significant progress has been made on both gold and lithium potential on the Spargoville tenements and these will remain our focus throughout 2016/17. Work continues on preparing resource models on several smaller gold projects with the view to seeking regulatory approval to commence mining within 18 months. Completing negotiations with TYK to secure 100% of the Spargoville project ensures that Maximus can explore and develop projects as rapidly as possible and be rewarded for our efforts. Success with the Burbanks treatment plant sale process ensures that the company is able to plan and schedule treatment of 100% owned ore through the company owned treatment plant and not be reliant on other third parties to process ore to generate a revenue. Kevin Malaxos MANAGING DIRECTOR Adelaide Hills Maximus retains entitlement to two contingent $1 million payments (totalling $2 million) in accordance with the Bird in Hand Sale Agreement which are dependent on Environmental approval to mine (PEPR) from the Department for State Development (DSD, formerly DMITRE) and the commencement of bullion production from the site. Maximus retains a 0.5% gross royalty on gold produced in excess of 50,000 Oz mined and continues to liaise with Terramin and monitor progress of the project feasibility study and approval process. Maximus retains 2 tenements in the Adelaide Hills region and has completed minimal exploration activities on these tenements during 2015/16. Northern Gawler Craton Maximus retains 1 tenement, the Welbourn Hill tenement located in the Northern Gawler Craton region of SA to follow-up on anomalous copper assay results by the previous tenement holder. MXR completed a review of the dataset followed by an airborne magnetic survey in March 2015 but failed to identify a suitable host for large tonnage copper deposits. Maximus continues to search for a Joint Venture party to conduct further exploration on the remaining tenement. Corporate During the June quarter of 2016, Maximus undertook Due Diligence on the Burbanks Treatment facility owned by ASX listed Ramelius Resources Ltd. The plant was on care & maintenance following processing of the Wattle Dam ore and various smaller parcels from the Spargoville area. The treatment plant has an annual capacity of 180,000 tonnes per annum, and is particularly suited to high grade, coarse gold style mineralisation. Maximus was selected as the preferred bidder for the project, and subsequently agreed on terms and signed a Sale Agreement in August 2016. The total cost of the facility was $2.5 million, with staged payments due over a 2 year period from the date of signing the Sale Agreement. MXR is currently preparing plans and obtaining quotes to refurbish the Burbanks plant and recommence milling operations. The plan is to complete processing on a Toll basis for third parties throughout 2017/18, when it is envisaged that MXR will have projects approved and ready for mining late 2017 or early 2018.

Operating results and financial position The net result of operations of the Company for the financial year was a loss of $681,865 (2015: $97,389). The net assets of the Company have increased by $1,863,667 during the financial year from $3,563,920 at 30 June 2015 to $5,427,587 at 30 June 2016. 2. Review of Operations Spargoville The Spargoville tenements in Western Australia were secured in August 2015 through a Sale and Farm-in Agreement with Tychean Resources Limited (ASX: TYK). Maximus initially purchased a 25% interest in Tychean’s equity of the Spargoville tenements for $200,000 in cash and $200,000 worth of Maximus fully paid ordinary shares which were issued in February 2016 once Maximus’ equity was registered on the Department of Mines and Petroleum records. Maximus immediately commenced on-ground reconnaissance and an orientation soil sampling program to validate sampling techniques undertaken by previous explorers and test targets identified by an independent geophysicist. In excess of 60 targets were identified and infill soil sampling programs were conducted on these targets. In November 2015, Maximus achieved the stage 1 earn-in milestone, securing a further 26% equity in the Spargoville tenement package for a total equity of 50%. During December 2015 the first MXR drill program was undertaken on the Eagles Nest project. A total of 8 holes were drilled for 809 metres along the mapped lode system hosting several shallow shafts. During February 2016 the Company entered into an agreement to secure full ownership of Tychean’s interest in the Spargoville gold project. Consideration for the full ownership was ordinary shares in Maximus Resources Limited to the value of $50,000 that will be satisfied with the issue of 25,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares. The new agreement with Tychean removed all earn-in obligations required under the original farm-in agreement and cancelled the gold royalty to Tychean. An infill drilling program commenced in mid-March to obtain further data to assist in the preparation of a resource calculation for the Eagles Nest project. Drilling was undertaken on the northern tenement boundary to test the strike extension to the mineralisation identified in the maiden drill program in December. Final assay results were received in April which did not repeat the higher grades recorded in the initial drilling program. The results do not diminish the area’s potential for hosting a HG ore source which is demonstrated by the number and size of nuggets found on this tenement over the past 100 years as nuggets continue to be found by prospectors in this area to this day. During the year Tribute Mining activities returned 18.67ozs of gold to the Company, which was subsequently sold to refinery at a realized price of $1,699/oz. During March rock chip samples were collected from the Landor Lithium prospect (M15/1323) to test areas identified by Geological Survey of Western Australia historic mapping as pegmatites. Elevated Lithium oxide assay results were returned from the Landor samples prompting the decision to undertake further mapping and sample analysis on both the Landor prospect and the Lefroy lithium prospect during May 2016. XRD analysis was conducted on a series of samples of pegmatite to determine which lithium mineral was responsible for elevated assay results. The XRD analysis results confirm that spodumene is present in these drillholes, varying in amount from trace, to major. The results indicate that the lithium bearing pegmatites are shallow dipping, and ranging in thickness from 4m to 15m. The Company continues to locate and test pegmatites at the Lefroy Prospect for lithium mineralisation. Narndee The review of past and recent exploration programs on Narndee highlighted Electromagnetic (EM) conductors that warrant on- ground follow-up. Further analysis by an independent geophysicist confirmed a priority target located adjacent to an area previously evaluated by Maximus. The renewed focus on the area and the early identification of a significant anomaly justifies the Company’s persistence on the tenement package. Applications were submitted to the Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) for 3 tenements contiguous with the current MXR tenements in the area to secure all possibilities for the EM target. One tenement was granted however the remaining 2 applications are currently with a Native Title group for determination. Maximus Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2016 9 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (cont) Maximus is continuing to evaluate surrounding tenements to further secure our position, and thus secure future potential in the southern portion of the tenement package (Milgoo project area). The Company also reviewed the northern tenement package located east of Mt Magnet held for its gold potential, where little success has resulted from early exploration efforts. Expenditure commitments on these tenements are increasing, and with the focus moving to the southern portion of the Narndee block, maintaining these northern tenements is difficult to justify. As a result, 4 northern tenements were relinquished during the quarter. The Company completed a Ground Electro-magnetic (GEM) Survey over part of the highly prospective Narndee poly-metallic project located approximately 400 km north east of Perth in the Murchison region of Western Australia. This GEM survey was targeting two high priority targets; MG03 & MG24. MG24 presents as a long slender feature considered similar to the Nova Bolinger anomaly in the Fraser Range area in the south-west of Western Australia. The GEM survey will provide more detailed information regarding the two anomalies and provide valuable data to pinpoint drill collar positions in the planned drill program. The survey was conducted over Target MG03 and consisted of three east-west orientated survey lines, with station spacing’s of 100m. The second Target, MG24 could not be surveyed due to excessive rain preventing access to the site. This survey will be completed when access is restored during late August 2016, weather permitting. The Company pre-empted the GEM survey results and has submitted a Program of Works (PoW) to the Department for Mines and Petroleum in WA to facilitate drilling of both MG03 and MG24, once the GEM survey on MG24 is completed and the resultant data interpreted. Adelaide Hills A review of the available data on the 4 remaining Adelaide Hills tenements was completed during the year with little scope identified for a significant discovery. The Company attempted to secure JV or sale opportunities for the 4 Adelaide Hills tenements. With little interest shown in the current environment, 2 tenements were relinquished, and 2 tenements remain in the portfolio. Millers Creek The Company completed a review of the geophysical data to determine the presence of any IOCG targets and maintains that the tenement holding remains highly prospective for IOCG mineralisation. However, with the current focus of the Company towards gold projects and base metal projects in Western Australia, the Company listed the tenement package on an online platform to solicit offers for a Joint Venture on the expanded Millers Creek project. Northern Gawler Craton The Northern Gawler Craton Project consists of a single granted tenement, Welbourn Hill (EL 5248) located along the northern margins of the Gawler Craton in the Marla region of South Australia covering an area totalling 439 km². Following the airborne magnetic survey completed during March 2015, the Geophysicist completed some preliminary imagery. This data shows a detailed picture of the magnetics, which suggests that basement rocks are the source of the magnetic anomaly, and the mineralisation is associated with magnetite depletion. The Company continues to promote this project to prospective Joint Venture parties as one with potential to host a significant copper target within the basement structure. Corporate During the 2016 financial year the following securities were issued: • 100,000,000 ordinary shares were issued to sophisticated investors on 27 October 2015 at an issue price of $0.002 per share raising $200,000 before costs. • 138,000,000 ordinary shares were issued to shareholders who participated in the Company’s Share Purchase Plan on 11 December 2015.

A placement to institutional investors for 533,333,333 fully paid ordinary shares raising $1.6 million will be completed in mid- September 2016 following the announcement to the market on 4 August 2016. The placement will also include a free attaching unlisted option resulting in 533,333,333 unlisted options with an exercise price of $0.006 per option being issued. The placement will fund part of the acquisition and refurbishment of the Burbanks Processing Facility and provide working capital. There has been no other transaction or event of a material or unusual nature that has arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report that is likely, in the opinion of the directors, to affect significantly the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in future financial years. 5. Future business developments, prospects and business strategies The Company is poised to progress from a pure explorer to a producer in the very near future, should continued exploration success be achieved. The acquisition of the Spargoville tenements has presented several advanced gold exploration targets in addition to several lithium targets. The Company plans to pursue both the gold and lithium potential of the Spargoville tenements with the aim of identifying economic gold resources and/or a marketable lithium project. In addition to exploration on the Spargoville tenements, the Company shall continue to review potential gold projects and advance exploration targets held by other companies or individuals, within an economic trucking distance to Coolgardie, to build upon the exploration asset base at Spargoville and grow future gold resources. These additional 3rd party targets may be acquired or accessed through joint ventures or other agreements. The Company was fortunate to acquire the Burbanks gold ore processing facility in August 2016. The ultimate plan is to refurbish the treatment facility and process Maximus owned or controlled ore sources. To achieve this outcome, the Company plans to refurbish the facility and Toll treat gold ore from 3rd parties, located within trucking distance to the facility. This process will enable the Company to continue our exploration activities at Spargoville with the aim of generating MXR owned mineable gold ore resources. Once regulatory approval is received for each project, the Company aims to process the ore through the Burbanks processing plant. Refurbishment of the Treatment facility shall only occur once a 3rd party agreement to Toll treat ore is secured, or exploration success leads to a proven reserve being generated on a Maximus owned target. Discussions are ongoing with several parties to achieve a Toll treatment agreement. Exploration will continue on the remaining Narndee project targets with the aim of identifying a gold or large base metal resource. A review of airborne electromagnetic (EM) data and a recent ground EM survey identified several targets warranting follow-up exploration evaluation and testing. We aim to test these targets in the medium term future. 6. Environmental regulation The Company’s operations are subject to significant environmental regulation under both Commonwealth and relevant State legislation in relation to discharge of hazardous waste and materials arising from any exploration or mining activities and development conducted by the Company on any of its tenements. The Company believes it is not in breach of any environmental obligation.

A Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration The Company’s policy for determining the nature and amounts of emoluments of board members and other key management personnel of the Company is as follows: The Company’s Constitution specifies that the total amount of remuneration of non-executive directors shall be fixed from time to time by a general meeting. The current maximum aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors has been set at $300,000 per annum. Directors may apportion any amount up to this maximum amount amongst the non- executive directors as they determine. Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, accommodation and other expenses incurred in performing their duties as directors. The remuneration of the Managing Director is determined by the non-executive directors on the Board as part of the terms and conditions of his employment which are subject to review from time to time. The remuneration of other executive officers and employees is determined by the Managing Director subject to the approval of the Board. Non-executive director remuneration is by way of fees and statutory superannuation contributions. Non-executive directors do not participate in schemes designed for remuneration of executives nor do they receive options or bonus payments and are not provided with retirement benefits other than salary sacrifice and statutory superannuation. The Company’s remuneration structure is based on a number of factors including the particular experience and performance of the individual in meeting key objectives of the Company. The Board is responsible for assessing relevant employment market conditions and achieving the overall, long term objective of maximising shareholder benefits, through the retention of high quality personnel. The Company does not presently emphasise payment for results through the provision of cash bonus schemes or other incentive payments based on key performance indicators of the Company given the nature of the Company’s business as a junior listed mineral exploration entity and the current status of its activities. However, the Board may approve the payment of cash bonuses from time to time in order to reward individual executive performance in achieving key objectives as considered appropriate by the Board. Maximus Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2016 13 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (cont) Remuneration Report - Audited (cont) The Company also has an Employee Incentive Rights Plan approved by shareholders that enables the Board to offer eligible employees rights to acquire ordinary fully paid shares in the Company. Under the terms of the Plan, rights to acquire ordinary fully paid shares at no cost may be offered to the Company’s eligible employees as determined by the Board in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. The objective of the Plan is to align the interests of employees and shareholders by providing employees of the Company with the opportunity to participate in the equity of the Company as a long term incentive to achieve greater success and profitability for the Company and to maximise the long term performance of the Company. The employment conditions of the Managing Director were formalised in a contract of employment. The base salary as set out in the employment contract is reviewed annually. The Managing Director’s contract may be terminated at any time by mutual agreement and in instances of serious misconduct the Company may terminate his agreement without notice. No remuneration consultants were engaged for the year ending 30 June 2016 or 2015.

Maximus Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2016 21 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 June 2016 1 Summary of significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements 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 Maximus Resources Limited and its subsidiaries. a) Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Maximus Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. i) Compliance with IFRS The consolidated financial statements of the Maximus Resources Limited also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Australian Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRSs ensures that the financial statements and notes comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). ii) Historical cost convention These financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis, under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available for sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss and certain classes of property, plant and equipment. iii) Critical accounting estimates The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company. b) Basis of consolidation The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2016. The Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June. All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable. c) Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits are benefits, other than termination benefits, that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve (12) months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. Examples of such benefits include wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Other long-term employee benefits The Group’s liabilities for annual leave and long service leave are included in other long term benefits as they are not expected to be settled wholly within twelve (12) months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. The expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service, and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds (2015: government bonds) that have maturity dates that approximate the timing of the estimated future cash outflows. Any re-measurements arising from experience adjustments and changes in assumptions are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur. The Group presents employee benefit obligations as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve (12) months after the reporting period, irrespective of when the actual settlement is expected to take place. d) 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 has been identified as the Board of Directors. 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 applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred 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 financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also 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 end of the reporting period 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 Company 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 22 Maximus Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2016 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 is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. f) Impairment of non-financial assets Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 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 groups of assets (cash generating units). Non- financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. g) Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, 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 12 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. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position. h) Trade receivables Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date. i) Investments and other financial assets Recognition and derecognition Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When securities classified as available for sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss as gains and losses from investment securities. Measurement At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Loans and receivables and held to maturity investments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Available for sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category are presented in profit or loss within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss as part of revenue from continuing operations when the Company’s right to receive payments is established. Interest income from these financial assets is included in the net gains/(losses). Impairment The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. In the case of equity investments classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered an indicator that the assets are impaired. If there is evidence of impairment for any of the Company’s financial assets carried at amortised cost, the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred. The cash flows are discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. j) Plant and equipment Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Plant and equipment Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets’ employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. Subsequent costs are included in the assets’ carrying amount or recognised as separate assets as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straightline basis over their useful lives to the Company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for plant & equipment are from 12.5 to 40%. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting 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 note 1(g). Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, it is Company policy to transfer any amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings. Maximus Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2016 23 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont) 30 June 2016 k) Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. l) Earnings per share (EPS) i) Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing: ¬ the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares ¬ by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares. ii) Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account: ¬ the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and ¬ the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. m) Exploration and evaluation expenditure Exploration and evaluation costs related to an area of interest are written off as incurred except they may be carried forward as an item in the statement of financial position where the rights of tenure of an area are current and one of the following conditions is met: • the costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; and • exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the end of each reporting period reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. Capitalised costs include costs directly related to exploration and evaluation activities in the relevant area of interest. General and administrative costs are allocated to an exploration or evaluation asset only to the extent that those costs can be related directly to operational activities in the area of interest to which the asset relates. Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is written off where the above conditions are no longer satisfied. All capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment if facts and circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. Exploration and evaluation assets are also tested for impairment once commercial reserves are found, before the assets are transferred to development properties. n) 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 statement of financial position. 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 flows. o) Comparative figures Comparative figures are adjusted to conform to Accounting Standards when required. p) 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. q) Key estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments 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 Group and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below: Impairment The Company assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Company that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value in use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates. Exploration and evaluation The Company’s policy for exploration and evaluation is discussed in Note 1(m). The application of this policy requires management to make certain assumptions as to future events and circumstances. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure, management concludes that the capitalised expenditure is unlikely to be recovered by future sale or exploration, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off through the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. r) New and revised standards that are effective for these financial statements A number of new and revised standards and an interpretation became effective for the first time to annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2015. Information on these new standards is presented below. AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities AASB 2012-3 adds application guidance to AASB 132 to address inconsistencies identified in applying some of the offsetting criteria of AASB 132, including clarifying the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off” and that some gross settlement systems may be considered equivalent to net settlement. AASB 2012-3 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. The adoption of these amendments has not had a material impact on the Group as the amendments merely clarify the existing requirements in AASB 132. AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets 24 Maximus Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2016 These narrow-scope amendments address disclosure of information about the recoverable amount of impaired assets if that amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal. The adoption of these amendments has not had a material impact on the Group as they are largely of the nature of clarification of existing requirements. When developing IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, the IASB decided to amend IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to require disclosures about the recoverable amount of impaired assets. The IASB noticed however that some of the amendments made in introducing those requirements resulted in the requirement being more broadly applicable than the IASB had intended. These amendments to IAS 36 therefore clarify the IASB’s original intention that the scope of those disclosures is limited to the recoverable amount of impaired assets that is based on fair value less costs of disposal. AASB 2013-3 makes the equivalent amendments to AASB 136 Impairment of Assets and is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. The adoption of these amendments has not had a material impact on the Group as they are largely of the nature of clarification of existing requirements. AASB 2013-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Investment Entities The amendments in AASB 2013-5 provide an exception to consolidation to investment entities and require them to measure unconsolidated subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with AASB 9 Financial Instruments (or AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement where AASB 9 has not yet been adopted). The amendments also introduce new disclosure requirements for investment entities that have subsidiaries. These amendments apply to investment entities, whose business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income or both. Examples of entities which might qualify as investment entities would include Australian superannuation entities, listed investment companies, pooled investment trusts and Federal, State and Territory fund management authorities. AASB 2013-5 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. This Standard has not had any impact on the Group as it does not meet the definition of an ‘investment entity’ in order to apply this consolidation exception. AASB 2015-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (Part A: Annual Improvements 2010-2012 and 2011-2013 Cycles) Part A of AASB 2015-1 makes amendments to various Australian Accounting Standards arising from the issuance by the IASB of International Financial Reporting Standards Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle and Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle. Among other improvements, the amendments arising from Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle: • clarify that the definition of a ‘related party’ includes a management entity that provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity (either directly or through a group entity) • amend AASB 8 Operating Segments to explicitly require the disclosure of judgements made by management in applying the aggregation criteria Among other improvements, the amendments arising from Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle clarify that an entity should assess whether an acquired property is an investment property under AASB 140 Investment Property and perform a separate assessment under AASB 3 Business Combinations to determine whether the acquisition of the investment property constitutes a business combination. Part A of AASB 2015-1 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2015. s) Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the group: The accounting standards that have not been early adopted for the year ended 30 June 2016, but will be applicable to the group in future reporting periods, are detailed below. Apart from these standards, other accounting standards that will be applicable in future periods have been reviewed, however they have been considered to be insignificant to the group. At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by the group. Management anticipates that all of the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the group’s accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations that are expected to be relevant to the group’s financial statements is provided below Year ended 30 June 2018: IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers This standard will change the timing and in some cases the quantum of revenue received from customers. IFRS 15 requires an entity to recognise revenue by identifying for each customer contract, the performance obligations in the contract and the transaction price. The transaction price is then allocated against the performance obligations in the contract with revenue recognised when (or as) the entity satisfies each performance obligation. Management are currently assessing the impact of the new standard but it is not expected to have a material impact on the financial performance or financial position of the consolidated entity. Year ended 30 June 2019: AASB 9: Financial Instruments This standard introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 139. The main changes are • 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; and (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 (instead of in profit or loss). • 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. • Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities the change in fair value is to be accounted by presenting changes in credit risk in other comprehensive income (OCI) and the remaining change in the statement of profit or loss. This standard is not expected to result in a material change to the manner in which the Group’s financial result is determined or upon the extent of disclosures included in future financial reports although the Group will quantify the effect of the application of AASB 9 when the final standard, including all phases, is issued. Maximus Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2016 25 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont) 30 June 2016 There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. 2 Financial risk management The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company. Risk management is carried out by management under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Management identifies and evaluates financial risks in close cooperation with the Company’s operating units. The Board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of financial instruments and investment of excess liquidity. The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable, and loans to associated companies. The Company holds the following financial instruments: Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Available-for-sale financial assets Financial liabilities Trade and other payables The Company holds the following financial instruments: Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Available-for-sale financial assets Financial liabilities Trade and other payables 26 Maximus Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Consolidated 30 June 2016 $ Consolidated 30 June 2015 $ 1,443,300 455 - 905,455 4,665 90,214 1,443,755 1,000,334 183,162 183,162 64,652 64,652 Consolidated 30 June 2016 $ Consolidated 30 June 2015 $ 1,443,300 455 - 905,455 4,665 90,214 1,443,755 1,000,334 183,162 183,162 64,652 64,652 a) Market risk i) Price risk Price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from foreign exchange or interest rate risk). The Company is not exposed to any material price risk. ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities. Interest rate risk is managed by the Company with the use of rolling short-term deposits. The Company has no long term financial liabilities upon which it pays interest. As at the end of the reporting period, Maximus Resources Limited had the following variable rate cash and cash equivalent holdings: Cash and cash equivalents Net exposure to cashflow interest rate 30 June 2016 30 June 2016 30 June 2015 30 June 2015 Weighted average interest rate % 1.95% Balance $ 1,443,300 1,443,300 Weighted average interest rate % 2.05% Balance $ 905,455 905,455 Interest rate sensitivity analysis At 30 June 2016, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be as follows: Interest rate risk Increase 2% Decrease 2% 30 June 2016 Financial assets Carrying amount $ Cash and cash equivalents 1,443,300 Total increase/ (decrease) Profit $ 225 225 Equity $ 225 225 Profit $ (225) (225) Increase 2% Decrease 2% Interest rate risk 30 June 2015 Financial assets Carrying amount $ Cash and cash equivalents 905,455 Total increase/ (decrease) Profit $ 582 582 Equity $ 582 582 Profit $ (582) (582) Equity $ (225) (225) Equity $ (582) (582) Maximus Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2016 27 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont) 30 June 2016 b) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of default by borrowers and transactional counterparties as well as the loss of value of assets due to deterioration in credit quality. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘A’ are accepted. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the board. Sales to retail customers are required to be settled in cash or using major credit cards, mitigating credit risk. c) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations. The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring cash flows and ensuring that adequate funds are available to meet cash demands. d) Fair value measurements The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. AASB 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy: a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1) b) inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2),and c) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3) The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015. 30 June 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Available-for-sale financial assets $ - - $ - - $ - - The Company did not hold any available-for-sale financial assets at 30 June 2016. 30 June 2015 Assets Available-for-sale financial assets Tychean Resources Limited 3 Segment information a) Description of segments Level 1 $ 90,214 90,214 Level 2 Level 3 $ - - $ - - $ - - Total $ 90,214 90,214 Identification of reportable segments Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed and used by Managing Director (the chief operating decision maker) are used to make strategic decisions. The Company is managed primarily on the basis of geographical area of interest, since the diversification of the Company operations inherently has notably different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis. Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics and are also similar with respect to the following: • external regulatory requirements • geographical and geological styles Accounting policies developed Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Managing Director as chief decision maker with respect to operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Company. 28 Maximus Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2016 b) Business segments 2016 Millers Creek Spargoville Narndee Other Segment revenue Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) Impairment Segment assets Segment asset movements for the year: Capital expenditure Capital expenditure impaired Total movement for the year Total segment assets Unallocated assets Total assets Total segment liabilities Unallocated liabilities Total liabilities 2015 Segment revenue Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) Impairment Segment assets Segment asset movements for the year: Capital expenditure Capital expenditure impaired Total movement for the year Total segment assets Unallocated assets Total assets Total segment liabilities Unallocated liabilities Total liabilities $ - (30,443) $ 16,845 16,845 (30,443) - $ - - - - 1,368,011 2,839,836 1,368,011 179,215 - - 1,368,011 179,215 30,443 (30,443) - - $ - (40,461) (40,461) 12,795 53,256 (40,461) 12,795 - - - Total $ 16,845 (54,059) (70,904) 4,220,642 1,630,925 (70,904) 1,560,021 4,220,642 1,456,112 5,676,754 - 249,167 249,167 Millers Creek Adelaide Hills Province $ - $ - (326,926) (61,803) (326,926) (61,803) Narndee Other Total $ - - - $ - $ - (148,172) (536,271) (148,172) - (536,271) 2,660,621 - - 2,660,621 165,964 (326,296) (165,964) 10,976 (61,803) (50,827) 440,340 - 440,340 141,800 (148,172) 6,372 - - - - 759,080 (536,270) 222,810 2,660,621 1,014,955 3,675,576 - 111,656 111,656 Maximus Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2016 29 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont) 30 June 2016 ii) Adjusted EBITDA A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to operating profit before income tax is provided as follows: Allocated: Adjusted EBITDA Unallocated: Interest revenue Impairment of financial assets Gain/(loss) on sale of available for sale financial assets Loss on sale of assets Administrative expenses Marketing expenses Profit before income tax from continuing operations Allocated: Segment assets Unallocated: Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Other assets Available for sale financial assets Plant and equipment Consolidated 30 June 2016 Consolidated 30 June 2015 (54,059) (536,271) 11,232 (52,527) (7,281) - (540,411) (5,025) (648,071) 29,121 (89,214) 1,102,500 (424) (598,346) (4,755) (97,389) Consolidated 30 June 2016 Consolidated 30 June 2015 4,220,642 2,660,621 1,443,300 455 9,546 - 2,811 905,455 4,665 11,794 90,214 2,827 Total assets as per the consolidated statements of financial position 5,676,754 3,675,576 (iii) Segment liabilities Reportable segments’ liabilities are reconciled to total liabilities as follows: Allocated: Allocated segment liabilities Unallocated: Trade and other payables Provisions Total liabilities as per the consolidated statements of financial position 4 Other income Interest received Consolidated 30 June 2016 Consolidated 30 June 2015 - - 183,162 66,005 249,167 64,652 47,004 111,656 Consolidated 30 June 2016 Consolidated 30 June 2015 11,232 11,232 29,121 29,121 30 Maximus Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2016 5 Expenses Administration Administration costs Legal fees Marketing Marketing and promotion Exploration expenses General exploration expenditure written off Capitalised exploration expenditure impaired 6 Income Tax Expense a) Income tax expense: Current tax b) Numerical reconciliation of income tax expense to prima facie tax payable Loss from continuing operations before income tax expense Tax at the Australian tax rate of 30% (2015: 30%) Tax effect of amounts which are not deductible (assessable) in calculating taxable income: Temporary differences not brought to account Income tax expense Consolidated 30 June 2016 Consolidated 30 June 2015 103,325 - 103,325 5,025 5,025 12,125 58,779 70,904 188,449 1,574 190,023 4,755 4,755 33,764 502,507 536,271 Consolidated 30 June 2016 Consolidated 30 June 2015 33,794 33,794 (681,865) (204,560) (238,354) 33,794 - - (97,380) (29,217) (29,217) - A deferred tax asset (DTA) has not been recognised in respect of temporary differences as they do not meet the recognition criteria as outlined in Note 1(e) of the financial statements.

These may have a dilutive effect on the weighted average number of ordinary shares. As the Company has reported a loss of $681,865 this financial year (2015: $97,389), the options have not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share. 28 Share-based payments a) Employee option plan No option arrangements existed at 30 June 2016: Fair value of options granted No employee options were granted during the year ended 30 June 2016 (2015: Nil). Therefore no calculation of the fair value of options granted during the year was required to be made using the Black Scholes option pricing model. b) Employee incentive rights plan No incentive rights arrangements existed at 30 June 2016 and 2015. 29 Going concern The financial report has been prepared on the basis of going concern. The cash flow projections of the Company and consolidated entity evidence that there is a material uncertainty that the Company is a going concern and Maximus will require positive cash flows from additional capital for continued operations. The Company incurred a loss of $681,865 (2015 $97,389) with negative operating cashflows of $1,773,893. The operations were funded by the raising of funds through the various equity issues during the year. The Company and consolidated entity’s ability to operate as a going concern is contingent upon obtaining additional capital and generating positive cashflows from operations, in particular operations at the Burbanks Processing Facility. If additional capital is not obtained, the going concern basis of accounting may not be appropriate, as a result that the Company may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities, other than in the ordinary course of business in amounts which could be different from those stated in the financial report. No allowance for such circumstances has been made in the financial report. 38 Maximus Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2016 30 Parent entity Statement of financial position Current assets Non-current assets Total assets Current liabilities Non-current liabilities Total liabilities Net assets Shareholder’s Equity Contributed Equity Retained Losses Capital and reserves attributable to owners Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income Profit for the year Other comprehensive income Total comprehensive income Parent 2016 $ 1,453,827 4,223,454 5,677,281 220,183 28,982 249,165 Parent 2015 $ 1,012,655 2,663,448 3,676,103 94,315 17,340 111,655 5,428,116 3,654,448 37,943,923 (32,515,807) 5,428,116 35,398,391 (31,833,943) 3,564,448 (681,865) - (681,865) (97,389) (405,393) (502,782) Maximus Resources Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2016 39 DIRECTORS’ DECLARATION 30 June 2016 In the directors’ opinion: a) the consolidated financial statements and notes set out on pages 18 to 39 are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: i) complying with Accounting Standards, the Corporations Regulations 2001 and other mandatory professional reporting requirements, and ii) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2016 and of their performance for the financial year ended on that date, and b) there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable, and c) the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as confirmed in note 1(a).
