PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES 3. Minbos Resources Limited is an exploration company focused on the development of phosphate bearing ore within the Cabinda Province of Angola. 5 | P a g e Directors’ Report Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 GROUP OVERVIEW REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 4. (a) Minbos Resources Limited is an ASX-listed exploration and development company with interests in phosphate ore within the Cabinda Province of Angola and Rare Earth Elements in Madagascar. The Company’s strategy is to specifically target the exploration and development of low-cost mineral projects. (b) HIGHLIGHTS & SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS The highlights and significant changes in state of affairs during and subsequent to the end of the financial year include: Drilling Commences at Ambato: Drilling has commenced in early August to test one (1) of the seven (7) known rare earth targets on the license. The objective of the drill program is to test the hypothesis that the Ankazohambo has adequate strike and depth extent of mineralisation at a grade better than 3% TREO to set a viable target for follow-up drilling. Drill Contract Executed: The Company announced that a contract with Orezone Drilling Madagascar SARL (Orezone) has been executed for a diamond drilling program at the Ambato Rare Earths Project (Ambato) in Madagascar. Rare Earths Project: On 29 March 2018 the Company entered into an option with Tana Minerals Ltd (‘Tana’) whereby Minbos can acquire 90% of the shares in MRE Mining (Mauritius) Limited (‘MRE’). MRE’s sole asset is a wholly owned subsidiary in Madagascar which holds two exploration permits in central Madagascar covering 440 square kilometres. Placement: On 10 May 2018 the Company successfully completed a placement to sophisticated and institutional investors and raised $717,550 at $0.002 per share. Non-Renounceable Rights Issue: On 6 June 2018 the Company successfully completed a non-renounceable 1:1 entitlement issue and raised $2,490,934 at $0.001 per share (before costs and expenses of the offer). Non-Renounceable Rights Issue Shortfall: On 18 June 2018 the Company successfully issued the shortfall of the non-renounceable 1:1 entitlement issue and raised $336,347 at $0.001 per share (before costs and expenses of the offer). Merger with JV Partner: During the financial year, Minbos issued a notice of termination for the Share Sale Agreement (‘SSA’) with Petril Phosphate Limited (‘Petril’) and each of the shareholders of Petril, under which Minbos agreed to acquire all the shares of Petril subject to the satisfaction, or waiver, of conditions precedent by the end date of 24 October 2017. The conditions precedent were not satisfied by the end date and were not waived by the parties. The view of the Board in taking this decision was that the value to Minbos shareholders arising from the merger had diminished due to the delay in reaching completion, and as a result it was no longer in the best interests of Minbos shareholders to continue with the merger. Accordingly, Minbos issued a notice of termination to Petril and the merger will no longer proceed. Minbos remains a 50/50 joint venture partner in relation to the Cabinda Project. Under the joint venture agreement Petril is the Operator and will appoint the General Manager responsible for preparing and overseeing the work programs. 6 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Directors’ Report (c) PROJECTS ➢ AMBATO PROJECT Overview The Ambato Project is located within the Fianarantsoa Province in south-central Madagascar, approximately 200 km (“as the crow flies”) south of Madagascar’s capital city, Antananarivo. The Project is accessed via road from Antananarivo along Route Nationale 7 (RN7) for 270 km before turning west near Ivato onto Route Nationale 35 (RN35) for approximately 50 km to the village of Ambatofinandrahana. Figure 1: Location map of the various prospects at the Ambato Project The Ambato Project is covered by two (2) non-contiguous exploration permits (PR10868 and PR12013) encompassing a total area of 440 km2 (Figure 1). The tenement area has never been drilled but has been the subject of studies by universities, geological surveys and multi-lateral organisations. Minbos has entered into an option with Tana Minerals Ltd (Tana) whereby Minbos can acquire 90% of the shares in MRE Mining (Mauritius) Limited (MRE). MRE’s sole asset is a wholly owned subsidiary in Madagascar which holds the exploration permits for the Ambato Project covering 440 square kilometres. The transaction is conditional upon Minbos obtaining all the required regulatory and shareholder approvals, completing due diligence on the project and the renewal of the exploration permits. Renewals of exploration licenses by the Bureau de Cadastre Minier de Madagascar have not received ministerial approval for several years and this is not expected to resolve until after the National Assembly election later this year. 7 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Directors’ Report Geology The Ambato Project, which consists of seven (7) prospects; Marovoalavo, Ankazohambo, Sahafa, Lesada, Vohiniariana, and Sambalahy, is located within the Proterozoic Itremo Group which consists of quartzites, dolomitic marbles, and micaceous schists intruded by rocks of the Neoproterozoic Imorona-Itsindro and Ambalavao Suites including; calc-alkaline granites (+microcline+oligoclase), syenites, gabbros, norites, alkaline granites (+microcline) and calc-alkaline granites of different ages (Figure 2). Figure 2 Regional geology map of the Ambato Project area At Ankazohambo rare earth mineralisation occurs within hydrothermally altered country rock, micro syenite zones, quartz breccias, and stockworks hosted within a syenite intrusive. Bastnaesite mineralisation clearly visible in outcrop and is open to north and, south and east. Bastnaesite mineralisation extends along strike for at least 900 m with historical mapping indicating that bastnaesite occurrences occur 1,500 m along strike from main prospect area (Figure 3). 8 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Directors’ Report Figure 3 Overview of Ankazohambo prospect area based on compiled data showing the location of trenches, shafts, outcrop. and MMI rock chip assay results. NOTE: only samples submitted to ALS laboratories are shown in this figure (i.e. handheld XRF results have been excluded) Drill Program Drilling commenced in early August to test one (1) of the seven (7) known rare earth targets on the license. The drill program will: • Test the orientation strike and depth extent of outcropping bastnaesite mineralisation at the Ankazohambo prospect where surface samples and trenching have returned grades of between 0.14% and 40.8% TREO (refer to ASX Release dated 29 March 2018). • Gain an understanding of the rare earth enrichment mechanisms of the syenite alteration and laterite weathering. • Recover diamond core for logging, assay and metallurgical testwork to develop a flowsheet for production of marketable rare earth oxide concentrate. 9 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Directors’ Report The objective of this drill program is to test the hypothesis that the Ankazohambo has adequate strike and depth extent of mineralisation at a grade better than 3% TREO to set a viable target for follow-up drilling. The next step will be metallurgical test work to determine if the mineralisation can be beneficiated to a concentrate containing not less than 30% TREO. The initial drill program will comprise ten (10) HQ diamond holes (or 1,000m of drilling). Additional drill holes will be drilled if required. Drill holes will be drilled with a man portable drill rig (triple tube) and core will be orientated, and downhole survey measurements will be taken at regular intervals. Whilst previous interpretations model the mineralisation at Ankazohambo to be moderately east dipping, the true orientation of the mineralisation is unknown at this stage. The first few drill holes will be drilled vertical to collect information regarding orebody dip and plunge to determine the optimum drill hole orientation for the remaining drill holes. Renewals of exploration licenses by the Bureau de Cadastre Minier de Madagascar have not received ministerial approval for several years and this is not expected to resolve until after the National Assembly election later this year. Madagascar Madagascar is an island nation located off the east coast of Southern Africa. with an estimated population over 25 million. The climate varies from a warm desert climate in the southwest to an equatorial monsoon climate in the north west. The Ambato Project located in the central highlands enjoys a temperate subtropical climate. The Malagasy ethnic group comprises over 90% of the population and Malagasy is the national language with French recognised as an ‘official language’ and is used for international communication. Madagascar is a semi-presidential representative democratic multi-party republic. A popularly elected president is the head of state and selects a prime minister. The last election was held in 2013 and the next election is due in 2018. The economy relies heavily on agriculture, manufacturing, tourism and extractive industries. The World bank reports a GDP of $10b in 2016 or around $400 per capita but in 2012 counted 70% of the population below the national poverty line. Rare Earths Rare earths are generally defined as the 17 metals, Scandium, Yttrium and the lanthanide series. These so called Rare Earths are frequently found together but are rarely separate. The major applications by volume are permanent magnets, catalysts and metal alloys including metal hydride batteries which account for two thirds of demand, however 80% of the market value is currently attributed to Neodymium (Nd) and Praseodymium (Pr) both critical ingredients for permanent magnets. Rare Earth Permanent Magnets (REPMS) are used in electric motors and generators of all sizes where weight and torque efficiency are important. The fundamentals of permanent magnet demand are already in place and the emergence of electric vehicles will enhance demand. China controls the supply of rare earth minerals suppling 85% of global demand which is recognised as a risk to technology development in the advanced economies, of Asia, Europe and North America. 10 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Directors’ Report ➢ CABINDA PROJECT Overview The Cabinda licence area covers an area of approximately 200,000 ha and all the known and historically explored phosphate Prospects in Cabinda, Angola. In 2015 the Angolan Ministry of Mines and Geology (MGM) issued two new licence for the Cabinda project. The first licence (014/04/09/T.P/ANG.MGM.2015) is for the Cacata deposit and the second licence (015/01/10/T.P/ANG.MGM.2015) for the Chivovo, Chibuete, Ueca, Cambota and Mongo Tando Deposits. Both licences have been issued for a five-year period respectively expiring on 25 September 2020 and 14 October 2020 and are renewable for a further two years. The new licences replace the previous exploration permit (006/06/01/L.P./GOV.ANG.MGM.2010). Resources Minbos has delineated a substantial resource of 391.3Mt @ 9.2% P2O5. Within this resource, two high grade projects have been identified at the Cacata and Chivovo Deposits. A summary of JORC resources is shown in Table 1 below. Table 1: Mineral Resource Estimate as at 30 June 2018 (There has been no change in the financial year) Category Tonnes (Mt) Grade (% P2O5) Cut-Off (% P2O5) Measured Indicated Inferred Indicated Inferred Indicated Inferred 5.0 10.2 11.8 24.8 184.0 6.5 149.0 391.3 23.0 25.3 8.8 11.5 8.0 20.5 8.3 9.2 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 Deposit Cabinda, Angola Cacata Mongo Tando Chivovo Chibuete Total Beneficiation Testwork and Process Design Bulk samples have been tested by two equipment suppliers in the USA for beneficiation by drying and sizing. Another bulk sample was tested by Mintek in South Africa for beneficiation by wet scrubbing and screening. The testwork results for both streams have been very encouraging and initial quotes for major equipment items have been provided to Ausenco Limited (‘Ausenco’) who will prepare a comparison of the beneficiation alternatives for presentation to the JV partners. Dry Beneficiation Testwork Results Both equipment suppliers were provided a high-grade sample grading 34% P2O5 and a medium grade sample with a higher clay content grading 30% P2O5. The equipment suppliers elected to size the material through roll crushers before drying the material and passing it through an air classifier to remove particles below fine dust to meet shipping requirements. Both suppliers were able to beneficiate the samples to 33.5%-34.5% P2O5 which is much better than expected. The flowsheets were particularly successful at upgrading the higher clay samples. The testwork showed that P2O5 recoveries of 90%-95% are achievable and the final number will be determined in conjunction with the mine optimisation study. Major equipment lists and quotes have been provided by the equipment suppliers and costings prepared by Ausenco. 11 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Directors’ Report Transportation Logistics Quotations from local contractors have been sought for the road haulage of rock phosphate product from the mine site to Porto de Caio, a distance of 60km on well-formed bitumen roads. An internal estimate for an owner operator costing has been completed to evaluate the contractor proposals and resulted in a tariff that will be used in the Trade-Off-Study. Figure 1: Transport Route from Cacata High Grade Project to New Loading Site Change Map Port Logistics Evaluation Ausenco has completed its evaluation of Porto de Caio and concluded that a rotating container system offers the most economic and flexible solution for Cacata. Porto de Caio. Geotechnical and Hydrogeology Engineers from Golder Associates have designed geotechnical and hydrogeological drilling for which will be incorporated into the infill drilling program. 12 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Directors’ Report Joint Venture Since terminating the merger of its Angolan phosphate interests with partner Petril Resources in November 2017, Minbos has continued to engage with Petril which is the Operator of the Cabinda Phosphate Project. Minbos remains a 50/50 partner with Petril in the Cabinda Project. Under the shareholders agreement that Minbos and Petril have entered into in relation to project operations, Petril is the operator of the project and has an obligation to appoint the general manager responsible for preparing and overseeing the work programs. Since the termination of the merger, Petril has not appointed a general manager or presented programs and budgets for approval. The Group has determined external factors, including uncertainties over the Company’s Joint Venture in Angola as indicated by the termination of the share sale agreement with Petril as objective evidence of impairment. Therefore, impairment testing was performed on the Associate and the Associates underlying exploration and evaluation expenditure resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $13,591,377 and a loss for associate of $6,025,208 recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income at 30 June 2018. During the financial year, Minbos canvassed Petril's interest to either buy or sell a 50% interest in the Cabinda project for US$2M cash and a royalty of $2 per tonne for the first six million tonnes of Rock Phospate produced. Petril indicated that it is willing to sell but for a substantially higher cash consideration. The Angolan Ministry of Mineral Resources and Petrolum has put the project partners on notice that progress has fallen behind the commitments made when the License was renewed. The impact of falling Rock Phosphate prices and the sliding delivery date of Porto de Caio are acknowledged, however, work programs must soon commence or retention of the licenses are at risk. Minbos maintains a positive view of the potential of the Cabinda Project but does not believe the current ownership structure can realise that potential, and despite a willingness from both parties to transact it is uncertain that ownership of the project can be consolidated on terms satisfactory to both parties which would allow work programs to commence. Competent Person’s Statement Ms Kathleen Body The information in the Annual Report that relates to the Exploration Results and Phosphate Resources, Production Targets and Cost Estimation was extracted from Minbos’ ASX announcements dated 6 June 2012, 16 October 2013 and 5 December 2013 respectively entitled “Minbos announces resource upgrade for the Cabinda licenses in Angola” and “Cabinda Resource Additional Information” and the Minbos Annual Report for the years ended 30 June 2014, 30 June 2015, 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2017 and Half Year Reports for the periods ended 31 December 2014, 31 December 2015, 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2017 which are available to view on the Company’s website.

A Operations Minbos Resources Limited is an exploration and development company with interests in phosphate ore within the Cabinda Province of Angola and Rare Earth Elements in Madagascar. The Group creates value for shareholders, through exploration activities which develop and quantify phosphate assets. Once an asset has been developed and quantified within the framework of the JORC guidelines the Company may elect to move to production, to extract and refine ore which is then sold as a primary product. B Financial Performance & Financial Position The financial results of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2018 are: Financial Performance / Position Cash and cash equivalents Net assets Revenue Net loss after tax Loss per share 30-Jun-18 $ 3,925,570 3,854,146 30,759 (17,624,018) (0.007) 30-Jun-17 $ 2,603,564 17,499,265 59,805 (2,202,012) (0.001) Change % 51% (78%) (49%) (700%) (600%) Financial Performance & Financial Position The financial result for the year ended 30 June 2018 is a net loss after tax of $17,624,018 (2017: $2,202,012). At 30 June 2018, the Group’s net assets had decreased by 78% compared to the previous financial year. This decrease was largely due to the impairment of investment in associate. At 30 June 2018, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents increased by 51% to $3,925,570, largely due to the capital placement which the Company completed in May 2018, raising $717,550 at $0.002 per share and the rights issue and shortfall which raised $2,827,281 at $0.001 per share. The Group is creating value for shareholders by asset development through its exploration expenditure and currently has no revenue generating operations. Revenue is generated from interest income from funds held on deposit. C Business Strategies and Prospects for future financial years The Group is actively evaluating the prospects of the Cabinda project and Ambato project. These updates are announced via the ASX platform for shareholders information. The Group then assesses the continued strategy and further asset development. There are specific risks associated with the activities of the Group and general risks which are largely beyond the control of the Group and the Directors. The risks identified below, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the future financial performance of the Group and the market price of the Company’s shares. The Board reviews the risks of the Group and the action plans to address these risks on a regular basis. a) Operating Risks The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining. In addition, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment. 15 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Directors’ Report b) Environmental Risks The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to the environmental laws and regulations of Angola and Madagascar. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if mine development proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws. c) Economic General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. d) Market conditions Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as: i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. general economic outlook; introduction of tax reform or other new legislation; interest rates and inflation rates; changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors; the demand for, and supply of, capital; and terrorism or other hostilities. The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company. e) Additional requirements for capital The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income, the Company will require further financing. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its development programmes as the case may be. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company. f) Speculative investment Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether invest. The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Company’s shares. 16 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Directors’ Report g) Risks with Operating in Angola and Madagascar The Company operates out of Angola and Madagascar which have been subject to civil unrest in the recent past. The Company believes that although tension has eased, civil and political unrest and an outbreak of hostilities remains a risk in both countries. The effect of unrest and instability on political, social or economic conditions in Angola or Madagascar could result in the impairment of the exploration, development and mining operations of the Company’s projects. There is also a high level of corruption in Angola and Madagascar, especially in the extractive industries. This corruption often influences the awarding of contracts or the granting of licenses. Furthermore, Angola and Madagascar do not have laws that specifically address corruption, bribery and conflict of interest. Other possible sovereign risks include, without limitation: i. ii. iii. iv. v. changes in the terms of the relevant mining statutes and regulations; changes to royalty arrangements; changes to taxation rates and concessions; changes in the ability to enforce legal rights; and expropriation of property rights. Any of these factors may, in the future, adversely affect the financial performance of the Company and the market price of its Shares. No assurance can be given regarding the future stability in Angola, Madagascar or any other country in which the Company may have an interest. h) The Legal Environment in Angola and Madagascar The Company’s projects are located in Angola and Madagascar. Angola and Madagascar are considered to be developing countries and are subject to emerging legal and political systems as compared with the system in place in Australia. This could result in the following risks: i. ii. iii. iv. v. political difficulties in obtaining effective legal redress in the courts whether in respect of a breach of law or regulation or in an ownership dispute; a higher degree of discretion held by various government officials or agencies; the lack of political or administrative guidance on implementing applicable rules and regulations, particularly in relation to taxation and property rights; inconsistencies or conflicts between and within various laws, regulations, decrees, orders and resolutions; or relative inexperience of the judiciary and court in matters affecting the Company. i) Lack of Specific Infrastructure The Company’s projects are located in areas of Angola and Madagascar. Generally, these areas lack specific infrastructure such as: i. ii. sources of third party supplied power; and sources of third party supplied water. The lack of availability of this infrastructure may affect mining feasibility. j) Workforce and Labour risks The skill base of the local labour force in Angola and Madagascar is extremely limited. There is a severe shortage of workers with good managerial or technical skills. HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases represent a serious threat to maintaining a skilled workforce in the mining industry throughout Africa. HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases are a major healthcare challenge faced by the Company’s operations in Angola and Madagascar. There can be no assurance that the Company will not lose members of its workforce, workforce man hours or incur increased medical costs which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations. 17 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Directors’ Report k) Renewal of permits in Madagascar As announced on 29 March 2018, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 90% interest in MRE Mining (Mauritius) Limited who owns two exploration permits in central Madagascar. The agreement is conditional on the renewal of the exploration permits. The renewal of the terms of each exploration permit is at the discretion of the relevant government authority and currently the mining authority in Madagascar is not renewing permits. Renewals could be subject to a number of specific legislative conditions. The inability to meet these conditions could affect the standing of a permit or restrict its ability to be renewed. If a permit is not renewed, the Company may suffer significant damage through the loss of opportunity to develop and discover mineral resources on those permits. l) Joint Venture Risks Angolan properties in which Minbos has an interest are operated through a joint venture with other companies. Any failure of such companies to meet their obligations under the joint venture or to third parties, or any disputes with respect to the parties’ respective rights and obligations, or failure to act in the best interests of the joint venture, could have a material adverse effect on the joint venture or its properties. In addition, Minbos may be unable to exert control over strategic decisions made in respect of such properties. Any or all of the above circumstances may have a materially adverse effect the operations and performance of Minbos. DIVIDENDS 9. No dividend has been paid during the financial year and no dividend is recommended for the financial year. EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR 10. On 12th July 2018 the Company announced that a contract with Orezone has been executed for a diamond drilling program at the Ambato Rare Earths Project in Madagascar. On 7th August 2018 the Company announced that drilling at Ambato had commenced, comprising ten (10) HQ diamond holes (or 1,000m of drilling). Additional drill holes will be drilled if required. The Directors are not aware of any other matters or circumstances at the date of the report, other than those referred to in this report or the financial statements or notes thereto, that have significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations, the results of operations or the state of affairs of the Company in subsequent financial years. 18 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Directors’ Report CORPORATE STRUCTURE 11.

This report for the year ended 30 June 2018 outlines the remuneration arrangements of the Group in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (‘the Act’) and its regulations. This information has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Act. The remuneration report details the remuneration arrangements for key management personnel (‘KMP’) who are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Parent company. For the purposes of this report, the term ‘Executive’ includes the Chief Executive Officer (‘CEO’) and Chief Financial Officer (‘CFO’), whilst the term ‘NED’ refers to Non-Executive Directors only. Individual KMP disclosure Details of KMP of the Group who held office during the year are as follows: Directors Peter Wall Damian Black Domingos Catulichi William Oliver Dganit Baldar Position Non-Executive Chairman Non-Executive Director Non-Executive Director Non-Executive Director Non-Executive Director Other KMP Lindsay Reed Nick Day Position Chief Executive Officer Chief Financial Officer & Company Secretary Appointment 21/02/2014 21/02/2014 20/07/2010 2/09/2013 18/03/2016 Appointment 1/09/2014 4/10/2017 Resignation - - - - - Resignation - - There have been no other changes after the reporting date and up to the date that the financial report was authorised for issue. The Remuneration Report is set out under the following main headings: Remuneration Philosophy Remuneration Governance, Structure and Approvals Remuneration and Performance Contractual Arrangements Share-based Compensation Equity Instruments Issued on Exercise of Remuneration Options A B C D Details of Remuneration E F G H Value of Shares to KMP I J Loans to KMP K Loans from KMP L Other transactions with KMP Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2017 Annual General Meeting Remuneration Philosophy A KMP have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group. KMP of Minbos comprise the Board of Directors, the CEO and the CFO. The performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its KMP. To prosper the Company must attract, motivate and retain appropriately skilled Directors and Executives. The Group’s broad remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the highest quality. No remuneration consultants were employed during the financial year. 20 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Directors’ Report B Remuneration Governance, Structure and Approvals Remuneration of Directors is currently set by the Board of Directors. The Board has not established a separate Remuneration Committee at this point in the Group's development, nor has the Board engaged the services of an external remuneration consultant. It is considered that the size of the Board along with the level of activity of the Group renders this impractical. The Board is primarily responsible for: • The over-arching executive remuneration framework; • Operation of the incentive plans which apply to executive directors and senior executives (the executive team), including key performance indicators and performance hurdles; • Remuneration levels of executives, and • Non-executive director fees. Their objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interests of the Company. ➢ Non-Executive Remuneration Structure The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors consists of Directors’ fees, payable in arrears. The Board, in accordance with the Company’s Constitution and the ASX listing rules specify that the Non-Executive Directors fee pool shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The latest determination was at the 2010 Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’) held on 30 November 2010 when shareholders approved an aggregate fee pool of $300,000 per year (in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Explanatory Statement that accompanied the Notice of Meeting). The Board will not seek any increase for the Non-Executive Director pool at the 2018 AGM. Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is based on fees approved by the Board of Directors and is set at levels to reflect market conditions and encourage the continued services of the Directors. Non-Executive Directors do not receive retirement benefits but are able to participate in share-based incentive programmes in accordance with Company policy. The remuneration of Non-Executives is detailed in Table 1a and Table 1b, and their contractual arrangements are disclosed in “Section E – Contractual Arrangements”. ➢ Non-Executive Remuneration Approvals The Board, in accordance with the Company’s Constitution, sets the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors, subject to shareholder approval. Within this pre-approved aggregate remuneration pool, fees paid to Non-Executive Directors are approved by the Board of Directors in the absence of the Remuneration Committee and is set at levels to reflect market conditions and encourage the continued services of the Directors. Remuneration may also include an invitation to participate in share-based incentive programmes in accordance with Company policy. The nature and amount of remuneration is collectively considered by the Board of Directors with reference to relevant employment conditions and fees commensurate to a company of similar size and level of activity, with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of high performing Directors. 21 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Directors’ Report ➢ Executive Remuneration Structure The nature and amount of remuneration of executives are assessed on a periodic basis with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high performing Executives. The main objectives sought when reviewing executive remuneration is that the Company has: • Coherent remuneration policies and practices to attract and retain Executives; • Executives who will create value for shareholders; • Competitive remuneration offered benchmarked against the external market; and • Fair and responsible rewards to Executives having regard to the performance of the Group, the performance of the Executives and the general pay environment. The remuneration of Executives is detailed in Table 1a and Table 1b, and their contractual arrangements are disclosed in “Section E – Contractual Arrangements”. ➢ Executive Remuneration Approvals The Company aims to reward Executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and aligned with market practice. Executive contracts are reviewed annually by the Board, in the absence of a Remuneration Committee, for their approval. The process consists of a review of company, business unit and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration internally and externally and, where appropriate, external advice independent of management. Executive remuneration and incentive policies and practices must be aligned with the Company’s vision, values and overall business objectives. Executive remuneration and incentive policies and practices must be designed to motivate management to pursue the Company’s long-term growth and success and demonstrate a clear relationship between the Company’s overall performance and the performance of executives. Remuneration & Performance C The following table shows the gross revenue, losses and share price of the Group as at 30 June for the last five financial years: Revenue ($) Net loss after tax ($) Share Price ($) 30-Jun-18 30-Jun-17 30-Jun-16 30-Jun-15 30-Jun-14 30,759 (17,624,018) 0.003 59,805 (2,202,012) 0.005 9,957 (1,654,054) 0.004 3,052 (2,196,652) 0.005 2,333 (2,680,271) 0.002 Relationship between Remuneration and Company Performance Given the current phase of the Company’s development the Board does not consider earnings during the current and previous financial years when determining, and in relation to, the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP. Short Term Incentive Package There were no short-term incentive-based payments made during the financial year (2017: $nil). Long Term Incentive Package Employee Share Plan: There were no Employee Share Plan shares approved or issued during the financial year (2017: nil). 22 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Directors’ Report Options: The Board considers that for each KMP who receive options, their experience in the Mining industry will greatly assist the Company in achieving its strategy and objectives. The Board is of the opinion that the expiry date and exercise price of the options currently on issue to the Directors, other KMP and its Executives is a sufficient, long term incentive to reward Executives in a manner which aligns the element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. Subsequently, the issue of options is not linked to performance conditions because by setting the option price at a level above the current share price at the time the options are granted, provides incentive for management to improve the Group’s performance. During the 2018 and 2017 financial years there were no employee or director options issued or exercised. Details of Remuneration D During the financial year ended 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 KMP received short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, share-based payments and employee benefits expenses.

Sofosa provide support and services on the Cabinda project for a payment of US$15,000 per month, up until 30 November 2017. During the 2018 financial year the Company incurred fees from Sofosa of $96,421 (US$75,000) (2017FY: $238,316 (US$180,000)).

CORPORATE INFORMATION Minbos Resources Limited (referred to as ‘Minbos’ or the ‘Company’ or ‘Parent Entity’) is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office and principal place of business is disclosed in the Corporate Directory of the Annual Report. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2018 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘Consolidated Entity’ or the ‘Group’). The Group is primarily involved in phosphate exploration in Africa and rare earth elements in Madagascar. 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Minbos Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 28 September 2018. (a) Compliance with IFRS The consolidated financial statements of the Consolidated Entity also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’). (b) Basis of measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated. 3. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION (i) Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Minbos Resources Limited (‘Company’ or ‘Parent Entity’) as at 30 June 2018 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Minbos Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the Consolidated Entity. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss & Other Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position respectively. 45 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (ii) Associates Associates are entities over which the consolidated entity has significant influence but not control or joint control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the consolidated entity's share of net assets of the associates. Cost includes equity contribution and loan advances (interest free with no set term of repayment). Dividends received or receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment. When the consolidated entity’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any unsecured long-term receivables, the consolidated entity does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. (iii) Changes in ownership interests The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interest in the subsidiary. Any differences between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Minbos Resources Limited. When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, jointly controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. If the ownership interest in a jointly-controlled entity or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION 4. (i) Functional and presentation currency These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars. The functional and presentation currency of the Company is Australian dollars (AUD). The functional currency of the subsidiaries is United States dollars (USD). (ii) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investments in a foreign operation. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income on a net basis within other income or other expenses. 46 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (iii) Group companies The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: • Assets and liabilities for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing • rate at the date of that Statement of Financial Position, Income and expenses for each Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and • All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale. 5. KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These accounting policies have been consistently applied by each entity in the Group. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in the following notes: (i) Note 15: Net Investment in Associate - The Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that the Net Investment in Associate is impaired by reference to the underlying project held by the Associate in Angola. This project is the Cabinda Project, held by Joint Venture partners Tunan Mining Pty Ltd and Mongo Tando Holdings Limited. Impairment testing and assessment is done in accordance with AABS 6, AASB 136 and AASB139. This assessment requires judgement in analysing possible impacts caused by factors such as commodity prices, operating and capital estimates, ownership relationships and the political risk in which the project operates. The Group has determined external factors, including uncertainties over the Company’s Joint Venture in Angola as indicated by the termination of the share sale agreement with Petril as objective evidence of impairment. Therefore, impairment testing was performed on the Associate and the Associates underlying exploration and evaluation expenditure resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $13,591,377 and a loss for associate of $6,025,208 recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income at 30 June 2018. 47 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements When assessing recoverable amounts, the Company makes estimates and assumptions which are subject to risk and uncertainty. Minbos has assessed the recoverable amount using a fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCD) method, in accordance with AASB 13 Fair Value (level 1 fair value hierarchy under AABS 13). The FVLCD method under AASB 136 Impairment of Assets requires a determination of the fair value, being the price that would be received to sell the project in an orderly transaction between market participants at measurement date. In this context, Minbos considers that the fair value that a willing buyer would place on the Cabinda project includes the commodity risk factors and uncertainties over the Joint Venture in Angola. (ii) Note 16: Exploration and evaluation expenditure - The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation is set out in note 16. If, after having capitalised expenditure under this policy, the Directors conclude that the Group is unlikely to recover the expenditure by future exploitation or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. The Company incurred exploration expenditure on the Cabinda project of $563,609 (2017: $732,421), which was reclassified through the profit or loss due to tenure being held by the associate and not Minbos directly. This exploration expenditure is in addition to what was accounted for through the Joint Venture with Petril (refer note 15 Investment in Associate). 6. OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES Significant and other accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis used and are relevant to an understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout the notes to the financial statements. 7. REVENUE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS Other revenue Interest revenue 30-Jun-18 $ 30-Jun-17 $ 30,759 30,759 59,805 59,805 RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Revenue Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent that is probable that the economic benefits to flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Interest Income Interest income is recognised when the Company gains control of the right to receive the interest payment. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax. 48 | P a g e Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 8.

The Company recognised a loss of $20 at 30 June 2018 as the subsidiary was deconsolidated from the Group. At 30 June 2018 the foreign currency translation reserve carrying value of $392 was transferred to profit and loss. SEGMENT INFORMATION 9. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers. The chief operating decision makers, who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, have been identified as the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer. During the current financial year, the Company entered into an option with Tana whereby Minbos can acquire 90% of the shares in MRE. MRE’s sole asset is a wholly owned subsidiary in Madagascar which holds two exploration permits in central Madagascar covering 440 square kilometres. The transaction however, is conditional upon Minbos completing due diligence on the project and the renewal of the exploration permits. As at 30 June 2018 these conditions had not been satisfied and the Board therefore considers its business operations in phosphate mineral exploration to be its primary reporting function. The Group therefore operates only in one reportable segment being predominately in the area of phosphate mineral exploration in Angola, within Africa. Results are therefore analysed as a whole by the chief operating decision maker, this being the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors. Consequently revenue, profit, net assets and total assets for the operating segment are reflected in this financial report. 49 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 10. INCOME TAX EXPENSE (a) Numerical reconciliation of accounting losses to income tax expense A reconciliation between income tax expense and the accounting loss before income tax multiplied by the entity's applicable income tax rate is as follows: 30-Jun-18 $ 30-Jun-17 $ Accounting loss before income tax (21,559,655) (2,202,012) At the entity's Australian statutory income tax rate of 30% (2017: 30%) At the entity's DRC statutory income tax rate of 30% (2017: 30%) At the entity's South African statutory income tax rate of 28% (2017: 28%) (7,307,465) (745) - (643,507) (9,367) (7,138) Adjusted for tax effect of the following amounts: Non-deductible / taxable items Non-taxable / deductible items Prior year adjustment Income tax benefits not brought to account Income tax expense / (benefit) (b) Recognised deferred tax assets and liabilities Deferred tax liabilities Investment in associate Opening balance Charges / (credited) to income Closing balance 6,976,522 (27,578) - 359,266 - 240,607 468 (44,061) 462,998 - 30-Jun-18 $ 30-Jun-17 $ 3,935,637 (3,935,637) - 3,935,637 - 3,935,637 Total deferred tax liability recognised - 3,935,637 (c) Deferred tax assets and liabilities not brought to account The directors estimate that the potential deferred tax assets and liabilities carried forward but not brought to account at year end at the Australian corporate tax rate of 30% are made up as follows: 30-Jun-18 $ 30-Jun-17 $ On income tax account: Carried forward tax losses Deductible temporary differences Unrecognised deferred tax assets 2,987,262 31,512 3,018,774 2,624,039 18,985 2,643,024 The Group has Australian carried forward tax losses of $9,957,539 (tax effected at 30%, $2,987,262) as at 30 June 2018 (2017: $8,746,797 (tax effected at 30%, $2,624,039)). In view of the Group's trading position, the Directors have not included this tax benefit in the Group's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. A tax benefit will only be recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. The tax benefits of the above deferred tax assets will only be obtained if: (a) The Consolidated Entity derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be utilised; (b) The Consolidated Entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and (c) No changes in income tax legislation adversely affect the Consolidated Entity from utilising the benefits. 50 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Current taxes Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. Deferred taxes Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses. Current and deferred tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurements also reflect the manner in which management expects to recover or settle that carrying amount of the related asset or liability. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Current assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in the future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. 51 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 11. EARNINGS PER SHARE (a) Basic loss per share The calculation of basic loss per share at 30 June 2018 was based on the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of $17,624,018 (2017: $2,202,012) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year ended 30 June 2018 of 2,681,878,266 (2017: 2,289,756,944) calculated as follows: 30-Jun-18 30-Jun-17 Net loss attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the Group ($) Weighted average number of ordinary shares for basis per share (No) (17,624,018) 2,681,878,266 (2,202,012) 2,289,756,944 Continuing operations - Basic loss per share ($) (0.007) (0.001) RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 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 weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for the bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year. (b) Diluted loss per share Potential ordinary shares are not considered dilutive, thus diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share.

TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES Trade receivables Other receivables (i) Indirect taxes receivable Prepayments (ii) Accrued interest Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 30-Jun-18 $ 30-Jun-17 $ 275 4,500 15,652 28,882 1,009 50,318 - 7,500 22,020 12,007 4,076 45,603 (i) Other receivables On 5 December 2012 Minbos signed a binding loan agreement with Robert McCrae (former Chief Executive Officer) to repay his outstanding loan by 31 May 2013 and provide Minbos with security over 1,500,000 of the Company’s shares for the outstanding loan. At 30 June 2018 the loan had not been repaid, the Company therefore made a provision against the unrecoverable portion of the loan. The outstanding balance at 30 June 2018 was $4,500 (2017: $7,500) being the value of the 1,500,000 Minbos shares held as security. (ii) Prepayments Prepayments consists of prepaid insurance (travel, workers compensation, directors & officers’ liability and public liability) expiring 31 October 2018, prepaid geological software and prepaid expenditure in relation to the Africa Down Under Conference. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Trade receivables Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 14 days. Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) Revenue, 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 as a current asset or liability in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows. Other receivables Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment. Other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. Based on the credit history, it is expected that these other balances will be received when due. Impairment of assets 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 impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. 54 | P a g e Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 14.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self- constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a work condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components). Subsequent costs The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as an expense as incurred. 55 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Depreciation Depreciation is charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows: • Computer equipment: • Furniture & Fittings: 3 years 6 to 10 years The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are reviewed at each financial year end and if appropriate, adjusted. 15. NET INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATE As part of the acquisition of Tunan Mining Limited in the 2011 financial year, Minbos acquired a 50% interest in Mongo Tando Limited, a Company incorporated in the British Virgin Isles. By virtue of holding less than 50% of the voting rights the entity has been accounted for as an Investment in an Associate.

The conditions precedent were not satisfied by the end date and were not waived by the parties. Given the material uncertainties with the current Joint Venture as indicated by the termination of the share sale agreement with Petril, management has decided to assess the recoverable amount of the asset as nil and fully impair the asset as at 30 June 2018. The Cabinda project consist of two licences. The first licence (014/04/09/T.P/ANG.MGM.2015) is for the Cacata deposit and the second licence (015/01/10/T.P/ANG.MGM.2015) for the Chivovo, Chibuete, Ueca, Cambota and Mongo Tando Deposits. Both licences have been issued for a five-year period respectively expiring on 25 September 2020 and 14 October 2020 and are renewable for a further two years. The new licences replace the previous exploration permit (006/06/01/L.P./GOV.ANG.MGM.2010). The issue of the licences were preceded by Minbos and its 50% Joint Venture Partner Petril Phosphates Ltd (JV partners) signing 2 Mining Investment Agreements in December 2014 with the Angolan Ministry of Mines and Geology (MGM). A presidential decree was issued on 8 June 2015 confirming that the Cabinda project has been approved and instructing Angolan Ministries to provide all the infrastructure and support that the JV partners requires for the project. Minbos and Petril are in the process of obtaining National Private Investment of Angola (ANIP) approval to transfer the shares to Mongo Tando Limited BVI. Per the shareholders agreement, the Company has the right to explore the Cabinda Project. 56 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements The signed contracts with MGM also covers the mining phase of the Cabinda project. On completion of the Environmental Impact and Economic Viability Study the issue of a mining licence can be requested. The mining licence will be valid for thirty five years, renewable for successive periods of ten years.

Costs incurred before the Consolidated Entity has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and either: (i) the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest; or (ii) activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or other wise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if one or more of the following facts and circumstances exist: (i) the period for which the entity has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future and is not expected to be renewed. (ii) substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned. (iii) exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area. (iv) sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full, from successful development or by sale. For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from intangible assets to mineral property and development assets within plant and equipment. 58 | P a g e Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 17. TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES Trade creditors Accruals Superannuation payable PAYG payable Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 30-Jun-18 $ 30-Jun-17 $ 35,789 46,833 12,335 17,274 112,231 113,116 34,378 16,229 17,495 181,218 RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. For trade and other payables, the fair value is approximate to their carrying value amount, due to their short-term nature. 18. PROVISIONS Provision for annual leave Provision for longer term employee retention bonuses 30-Jun-18 $ 30-Jun-17 $ 45,871 - 45,871 60,312 41,530 101,842 RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Provisions are recognised when: - - - the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event; it is probably that resources will be expended to settle the obligation; and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Employee Benefits Short-term employee benefits Provision is made for the Company’s obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled. A provision is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when the Consolidated Entity has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. 59 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 19.

(v) On 18 June 2018, the company successfully completed the placement of the rights issue shortfall of 336,346,644 fully paid ordinary shares issued at $0.001 per share to raise $336,347. (c) Capital risk management The Group's objectives when managing capital are to: • safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and • maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. Given the stage of the Company’s development there are no formal targets set for return on capital. There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The net equity of the Company is equivalent to capital. Net capital is obtained through capital raisings on the Australian Securities Exchange. 60 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. If the entity reacquires its own equity instruments, for example as a result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity. 20.

Employee share plan reserve The reserve represents the value of shares issued under the Group’s Employee Share Plan that the Consolidated Entity is required to include in the consolidated financial statements. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Consolidated Entity’s own equity instruments. The Company approved remuneration of 37,000,000 shares to Mr Reed during the 2015 financial year at an exercise price of $0.003 subject to certain vesting conditions. During the prior year ended 30 June 2017, the entire employee benefits expense in relation to these shares was recognised by the Company. The vesting conditions in relation to these shares were met during the 2018 financial year.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (a) Fair value of performance rights granted during the year During the 2015 financial year, the Company issued performance rights to Sofosa, a related party consultant that can convert up to a total of 237,829,976 fully paid ordinary shares in Minbos. These performance rights were issued in two tranches, with each Tranche having different performance milestones. Tranche 1: The first class of performance rights can convert to a total of 178,372,482 fully paid ordinary shares (75% of 237,829,976 shares) subject to Sofosa satisfying performance milestones within 24 months from the date of the agreement. Tranche 1 performance rights have the following performance conditions (all conditions must be satisfied): • Grant of the new exploration permits for the Cabinda project (Completed), • Sofosa transferring all of the shares it holds in Mongo Tando Ltda to Minbos or its nominee (Minbos and Petril are in the process of obtaining ANIP approval to transfer the shares to Mongo Tando Limited BVI), • Strategically supporting Minbos and its corporate initiatives. These performance rights expired on the 27 January 2017 without vesting. Tranche 2: The second class of performance rights can convert to a total of 59,457,494 fully paid ordinary shares (25% of 237,829,976 shares) subject to Minbos receiving a licence to Mine on the Cabinda project within 36 months from the date the agreements and pursuant to Sofosa’s assistance. These performance rights expired on 27 January 2018. At 31 December 2017 it was apparent that the milestone would not be achieved, hence an adjustment to reverse the expense was recognised during the period. The performance rights issued during the 2015 financial year are non-market performance rights, with no consideration upon achievement. Accordingly, the fair value of the performance rights is by direct reference to the share price on grant date. The valuation model inputs are shown in the table below: Date of Grant Date of Expiry Underlying Share Price (at date of issue) Number of rights granted Total Fair Value of Rights Tranche 1 (75%) 20/11/2015 27/01/2017 0.002 178,372,482 356,745 Tranche 2 (25%) 20/11/2015 27/01/2018 0.002 59,457,494 118,915 The total share based payment of the performance rights is $475,660, expensed over the vesting period of the performance rights.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risk and assessments of market forecasts for interest rate and foreign exchange prices. Ageing analyses and monitoring of specific credit allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk. Liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future cash flow forecasts. Risk management is carried out by Management and overseen by the Board of Directors with assistance from suitably qualified external advisors. The main risks arising for the Group are foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. The carrying values of the Group’s financial instruments are as follows: Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Net exposure (a) Market Risk (i) Foreign exchange risk 30-Jun-18 $ 30-Jun-17 $ 3,925,570 50,318 3,975,888 2,603,564 45,603 2,649,167 112,231 112,231 181,218 181,218 3,863,657 2,467,949 The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. (ii) Interest rate risk The Group is exposed to interest rate risk due to variable interest being earned on its interest-bearing bank accounts. At the end of the reporting period, the Group had the following interest-bearing financial instruments: 30-Jun-18 30-Jun-17 Weighted average interest rate Balance $ Weighted average interest rate Balance $ Cash and cash equivalents 0.74% 3,925,570 2.14% 2,603,564 64 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Sensitivity Within this analysis, consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates. The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date. The 1% increase and 1% decrease in rates is based on reasonably expected possible changes over a financial year, using the observed range of historical rates for the preceding five-year period. At 30 June 2018, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post-tax losses and equity would have been affected as follows: Post tax profit higher/(lower) Other comprehensive higher/(lower) 30-Jun-18 $ 30-Jun-17 $ 30-Jun-18 $ 30-Jun-17 $ Judgements of reasonably possible movements: + 1.0% (100 basis points) - 1.0% (100 basis points) 27,479 (27,479) 18,225 (18,225) - - - - The other financial instruments of the Group that are not included in the above tables are non-interest bearing and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk. (b) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. During the year credit risk has principally arisen from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with the maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The carrying amount of financial assets included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to those assets. The Group does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure. The Group trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Group’s policy to securitise its trade and other receivables. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group does not have a significant exposure to bad debts. The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group except for the following: • Note 12: Cash and cash equivalents: Cash held with National Australia Bank and Bankwest. (i) Cash The Group’s primary bankers are National Australia Bank and Bankwest. The Board considers the use of these financial institutions, which have a rating of AA- from Standards and Poor’s, respectively, to be sufficient in the management of credit risk with regards to these funds. Cash at bank and short-term bank deposits: Financial institutions - Standard & Poor's rating of AA- Financial institutions - Other 30-Jun-18 $ 30-Jun-17 $ 3,925,498 72 3,925,570 2,600,991 2,573 2,603,564 65 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (ii) Trade Debtors While the Group has policies in place to ensure that transactions with third parties have an appropriate credit history, the management of current and potential credit risk exposures is limited as far as is considered commercially appropriate. Up to the date of this report, the Board has placed no requirement for collateral on existing debtors. The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates. (c) Liquidity risk Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. The Directors and Management monitor the cash outflow of the Group on an on-going basis against budget and the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities to manage its liquidity risk. The financial liabilities the Group had at reporting date were trade payables and employee provisions incurred in the normal course of the business. Trade payables were non-interest bearing and were paid within the normal 30-60 day terms of creditor payments. The table below reflects the respective undiscounted cash flows for financial liabilities existing at 30 June 2018. Contractual maturities of financial liabilities 30-Jun-18 Trade and other payables 30-Jun-17 Trade and other payables <6 months $ >6-12 months $ >12 months $ Total contractual cash flows $ Carrying amount $ 112,231 112,231 181,218 181,218 - - - - - - - - 112,231 112,231 112,231 112,231 181,218 181,218 181,218 181,218 (d) Fair value hierarchy AASB 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy: (i) Level 1 - the instrument has quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; (ii) Level 2 - a valuation technique using inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the financial instrument, either directly (i.e. as prices), or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); or (iii) Level 3 - a valuation technique using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). At 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 the Group did not have financial liabilities measured and recognised at fair value. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amount of the current receivables and payables is assumed to approximate their fair value. The Group does not have any level 2 or 3 assets or liabilities. 66 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Non-derivative financial instruments Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs, except as described below. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below. A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Subsequent measurement Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Impairment The Group 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 assets (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 it considered an indicator that the assets are impaired. Assets carried at amortised cost For loans and receivables, the amount of 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 been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. If a loan or held-to maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate or measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases, and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. 24. COMMITMENTS Ambato Project: During the financial year the Minbos entered into an option agreement with Tana to acquire 90% of the shares in MRE Mining (Mauritius) Ltd. As part of the agreement Minbos agreed to spend a minimum of US$250,000 on exploration expenditure on the tenements or complete a drilling program of at least 600 metres on the tenements (the Drill Program). 67 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 25.

OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The company has adopted all of the new, revised or amended Accounting Standards that are mandatory for the current accounting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the entity. Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. The following table summarises the expected impact of new Accounting Standards that are not yet mandatory and have not been early adopted: Application Date Impact on Initial Application Nature of Change AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (issued December 2014) An entity will recognise 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. This means that revenue will be recognised when control of goods or services is transferred, rather than on transfer of risks and rewards as is currently the case under AASB 118 Revenue. Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Management is currently assessing the effects of applying the new standard on the entity’s revenue recognition policies & resulting effects on its financial statements. Based on the entity’s preliminary assessment noting the Company is yet to be in production and selling product and interest is the principal source of revenue at present, the impact is not expected to be material. income Instruments AASB 9: Financial Instruments (issued July 2014) Includes AASB 9 Financial revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from IAS 39. forward Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Management is currently assessing the effects of applying the new standard on the entity’s financial instruments policies and resulting effects on its financial statements. Based on the entity’s preliminary assessment noting the Company has limited financial instruments with no significant financial assets other than cash and no hedging, the impact is not expected to be material. for lease classifications AASB 16: Leases (issued February 2016) AASB 16 eliminates the operating and lessees finance currently accounted for under AASB 117 Leases. It instead requires an entity to bring most leases into its statement of financial position in a similar way to how existing finance leases are treated under AASB 117. An entity will be required to recognise a lease liability and a right of use asset in its statement of financial position for most leases. Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The entity is yet to undertake a detailed assessment of the impact of AASB 16. However, based on the entity’s preliminary assessment, the Standard is not expected to have a material transactions and balances impact on recognised in the financial statements when it is first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2020. the There are some optional exemptions for leases with a period of 12 months or less and for low value leases. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from AASB 117. 72 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2018 Directors’ Declaration The Directors of the company declare that: 1 The financial statements, comprising the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of cash flows, consolidated statement of changes in equity and accompanying notes, are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001; and (a) comply with Accounting Standards, Corporations Regulations 2001 and other mandatory professional reporting requirements; and (b) give a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its performance for the year ended on that date. 2 In the Directors opinion, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable. 3 The Consolidated Entity has included in the notes to the financial statements an explicit and unreserved statement of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards. 4 The Directors have been given the declarations by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001.
