PAPYRUS AUSTRALIARenewable source, sustainable future Letter from
the Chairman
On behalf of the Directors of Papyrus Australia Limited
(Papyrus), I am pleased to present the Annual Report for
the financial year ending 30 June 2022 (FY22).
Papyrus recognises that the sovereignty of Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander peoples over their land was never ceded, and the
impact of this ongoing dispossession continues to this day. Our
diverse team in Australia work in different locations on traditional
lands and we recognise the traditional custodians of these lands. We
pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders
past, present and emerging future leaders.
Environmental asset
In the spirit of embracing the Indigenous respect for the land and
understanding global stewardship, Papyrus has developed a world-
first technology which promotes a circular economy, whereby it
creates valuable products from abundant waste materials that would
otherwise negatively contribute to climate change and a deteriorating
environment.
Rapidly converging global events have caused a year of accelerated
change in thinking around the globe, prompting the prioritisation
of improved practices, new initiatives and innovations, which has
provided an opportunity for Papyrus to demonstrate our uniqueness.
Our patented, zero-waste process enables the development and
distribution of sustainable alternatives to plastic, timber fibre and
chemicals, which is more than just a goal or a vision – it’s our reason for being
and the core element of our present and future operations internationally.
Our emerging technology can contribute to a better tomorrow for diverse
and emerging economies, banana growing communities and agricultural
regions, and will have a significant decarbonising global impact.

Operations
Growth relationships
We work to meet global demands for sustainable,
economic, environmental and social production
expectations. Our technology processes and re-
purposes problematic banana plantation waste,
which is abundant in banana growing areas,
mostly located in developing countries and
often in impoverished communities.
Our Papyrus showcase operational facility in
Sohag, Egypt has proven the success of our
technology and in September 2021 we lodged
the Australian patent application for our banana
fibre production process to produce banana
fibre pulp to be used for moulded food packaging
products.
In November 2021 we leased a fully operational
moulded fibre packaging facility in Sharqiah
Egypt to utilise the Sohag-produced banana
fibre pulp, for the production of food packaging
products. The success at Sharqiah has led to
an agreement with Sohag-based Al Ahram for
Plastic Manufacturing, to enable their transition
from plastic packaging to banana fibre-based
food packaging – the first such transition
worldwide.
Our Australian technology has achieved strategic
growth and attracted significant attention this
year, as the world grapples with the urgency of
climate change. In April 2022, we entered into
an agreement with the Egyptian Government,
via the National Authority for Military Production
(the Ministry), as part of their ‘national waste
retrieval and re-purposing program’.
The Cooperation Protocol and subsequent
Roadmap we signed with the Ministry, will
establish a national industry in Egypt to retrieve,
process and repurpose banana plantation
waste utilising the Papyrus technology and IP.
The key structural elements establish a long-
term relationship as it is estimated there is the
potential for at least 40 banana waste processing
factories in Egypt based on the current banana
plantation areas.
Following that announcement of the Papyrus
agreement with the Egyptian Government,
the European Bank for Reconstruction and
Development (EBRD) in June 2022 agreed to
provide funding support to develop a five-year
business plan for the full commercialisation of
the Papyrus production facilities in Egypt. This
plan will underpin the expansion in Egypt which
5
PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA has an estimated 6.7 million tonnes of banana
plantation waste each year and provides a
model for potential expansion into Africa, which
has an estimated annual 1.5 billion tonnes of
banana and plantain plantation waste that could
be processed using Papyrus’ technology.
Another strategic partnership developed this
year in Egypt is with Al Ahram for Plastics
technology,
Manufacturing. The Papyrus
producing a regular and significant supply
of banana fibre pulp, will enable Al Ahram to
transition from their current plastic-based food
packaging to environmentally friendly banana
fibre packaging. This is the first such transition
worldwide and the beginning of a new era of
sustainable packaging products in Egypt in
which Papyrus will proudly play a part.
Our team
It has been a privilege to work with my Board
colleagues this past year and with our growing
team across the company who each play such
an integral role in our work, and I thank them
for their personal contributions. In November
2021, we welcomed Ms Kerry Chikarovski AM
as Executive Director – Government Relations,
which is an important next step in facilitating
the Company’s strategic objectives
in the
Australian market.
We also strengthened our leadership capabilities
to support our growth strategy in March 2022,
with the appointment of Mr Daniel Schmidt, who
joined the executive team as Chief Operating
Officer to support the next stage of growth-
oriented initiatives and commercialising the
business. Papyrus enjoys a shared culture and
vision of a just and sustainable world across our
diverse and unique team that we are confident
will deliver long-term, profitable growth for our
shareholders.
The outlook
In the coming year, our key focus will be to
deliver on agreements with our new business
partners and deliver operational efficiencies in
our current processes in Sohag and Sharqiah.
We believe the continual development of long-
term growth partnerships align with our goal of
playing a major role in the global economy and
in carbon reduction in the environment and our
current opportunities certainly give us a chance
to test our belief.
introducing the
As Egypt steps into the spotlight in November
2022 to host the United Nations Climate
Conference at COP27, the Papyrus technology
will be showcased as part of the Egyptian
‘Global Waste
Government
Initiative 50 by 2050’ concept to increase
the treatment and recycling rate of banana
plantation and other waste
in Egypt and
Africa. This initiative along with the proposed
formation of a ‘global coalition for global impact’,
could propel the Papyrus technology onto the
world stage and we welcome the Egyptian
Government’s
future global
initiative and
cooperation.

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA Our Purpose
Our Environmental Impact
The Papyrus technology alleviates three key
environmental and sustainability issues.
1.
2.
3.
Reducing
greenhouse gas
emissions
Global banana farm practices
leave cut down trunks, stalks
and leaves to rot on the land
which emit considerable
methane gases as they
decompose.
Papyrus processes the banana
waste so that they no longer
rot or decompose.
Replacing
Plastics used in
food packaging
Plastic food packaging causes
serious environmental and
health issues. Many fibre
mould manufacturers use
natural stock such as bagasse
or wood which are expensive
and energy intensive. Papyrus
pulp replaces plastics,
bagasse and wood pulp in
many food packaging uses.
Replacing
synthetic
fertiliser
Synthetic fertilisers made
from chemicals and non-
organic material leach into
groundwater causing water
pollution as well as having
detrimental long-term impacts
on soil and ecosystem health.
Papyrus’ organic extracted
fertiliser from banana waste
replaces synthetic fertiliser.

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA Principle 1:
Lay solid foundations for management and oversight
The relationship between the Board and senior
management is critical to the Group’s long-term
success. The Directors are responsible to the
shareholders for the performance of the group
in both the short and the longer term and seek to
balance objectives in the best interests of the group
as a whole. Their focus is to enhance the interests
of shareholders and other key stakeholders and to
ensure the Group is properly managed.
The responsibilities of the Board include:
• providing strategic guidance to the Group
including contributing to the development of
and approving the corporate strategy;
•
reviewing and approving business plans, the
annual budget and financial plans including
available resources and major capital
expenditure initiatives;
• overseeing and monitoring the
organisational performance and the
achievement of the Group’s strategic goals
and objectives;
• monitoring financial performance including
approval of the annual and half-year financial
reports and liaison with the Company’s
auditors;
• appointment and performance assessment
of the Managing Director (MD);
•
ratifying the appointment and/or removal
and contributing to the performance
assessment for the members of the senior
management team, including the Company
Secretary;
• ensuring there are effective management
processes in place and approving major
corporate initiatives;
• enhancing and protecting the reputation of
the organisation;
1 2
• overseeing the operation of the Group’s system
for compliance and risk management reporting
to shareholders; and
• ensuring appropriate resources are available
to senior management.
Due to the size of the Group, the day to day
management of the Group’s affairs and the
implementation of the corporate strategy and
policy initiatives are managed by the Board.
The Board has not publicly disclosed a statement
of matters reserved for the Board, or the Board
charter. Given the size of the Company at this
time, the Board does not consider the formation
of a Board charter necessary.
The Board is presently responsible for evaluating
Board candidates and recommending individuals
for appointment to the Board. The Board
evaluates prospective candidates against a
range of criteria including the skills, experience,
expertise and diversity that will best complement
Board effectiveness at the time. The Board
and
undertakes
screening checks prior to nominating a director
for election by shareholders, and provides to
shareholders all material
its
possession concerning the director standing for
election or re-election in the explanatory notes
accompanying the notice of meeting.
background
appropriate
information
in
A written agreement has not been executed
with each director setting out the terms of their
appointment; therefore the Group does not
comply with recommendation 1.3 of the Corporate
Governance Principles and Recommendations. The
Company believes that due to their size and nature
of operations that this is acceptable, however will
ensure written agreements are executed with
future directors and senior executives.
PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA The Company Secretary is accountable directly
to the Board, through the Chair, on all matters to
do with the proper functioning of the Board. The
Company Secretary is responsible for maintaining
the information systems and processes that
are appropriate for the Board to fulfill its role
and to achieve the objective of the Company.
The Company Secretary is also responsible for
ensuring that the Board procedures are complied
with and advising the Board on governance
matters. All Directors and Committees have
access to the Company Secretary for advice
and services. Independent advisory services
are retained by the Company Secretary at the
request of the Board or Committees.

However the Board continually assesses the
composition of the Board. The Company believes
this to be appropriate at this time, but notes it

Due to the size of the Company and its number

it appropriate, at this time, to formally set
measurable objectives for gender diversity.
The Board will at
least annually evaluate
its performance and the performance of
its committees and individual directors to
determine whether or not it is functioning
effectively by reference to the current best
practices. The Board continually evaluates
the composition of the Board, however a
formal evaluation of its performance and the
performance of its committees and individual
directors is yet to be conducted. Due to the
size of the Company, the Board has determined
that this is appropriate at Company’s stage to
date, however it does recognise that ongoing
performance evaluation is important to ensure
that the Board, committees and individual
director’s remain relevant and committed
to the Company’s business operations and
changing business requirements. At the date
of this report, the Company has not complied
with recommendation 1.6(b) of the Corporate
Governance Principles and Recommendations.
The Group currently has three senior executives
and has no formal process for evaluating the
performance of its senior executives.
Principle 2: Structure the
board to add value
The Board has not established a nomination
committee, and thus not complied with
recommendation 2.1(a) of
the Corporate
Governance Principles and Recommendations.
The Directors takes ultimate responsibility in
addressing board succession issues and to
ensure the Board has the appropriate balance
of skills, knowledge, experience, independence
and diversity to enable it to discharge its
duties and responsibilities effectively. The
Board closely assesses diversity criteria when
considering Board candidates.
The Group’s desired mix of skills and competence
is listed below. The Board considers its current
composition adequately meets these required
competencies.

The Board considers this to be an appropriate
composition given the size and development of
the Group at the present time and continually
assesses the composition of the Board to ensure
its membership maintains a combination of
skills and experience that ensure the Board has
the expertise to meet both its responsibilities
to stakeholders and its strategic objectives.
The names of directors including details of their
qualifications and experience are set out in
the Directors’ Report of the Annual Report and
also available on the Company’s website: www.
papyrusaustralia.com.au
Independence
The Board
is conscious of the need for
independence and ensures that where a conflict
of interest may arise, the relevant Director(s)
leave the meeting to ensure a full and frank
discussion of the matter(s) under consideration
by the rest of the Board. Those Directors
who have interests in specific transactions
or potential transactions do not receive
Board papers related to those transactions or
potential transactions, do not participate in any
part of a Directors’ meeting which considers
those transactions or potential transactions,
are not involved in the decision making process
in respect of those transactions or potential
transactions, and are asked not to discuss
those transactions or potential transactions
with other Directors.
Directors of the Company are considered to
be independent when they are independent
of management and free from any business
or other relationship that could materially
interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived
to materially interfere with, the exercise of their
unfettered and independent judgment.
The Board has accepted the following definition
of an independent Director:
An independent director is a director who is not
a member of management, is a Non-Executive
Director and who:
•
•
•
is not, or has not been, employed in an
executive capacity by the Group and there
has been a period of at least three years
between ceasing such employment and
serving on the Board;
is not, or has not within the last three years
been, a partner, director or senior employee
of a provider of material professional
services to the Group;
is not, or has not within the last three years
been, in a material business relationship (e.g.
as a supplier or customer) with the Group, or
an officer or, or otherwise associated with,
someone with such a relationship;
1 4
PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA •
is not a substantial security holder of
the entity or an officer of, or otherwise
associated with, a substantial security
holder of the entity;
• does not have a material contractual
relationship with the Group other than as a
director; or
• has not been a director of the entity for such
a period that his or her independence may
have been compromised.
Mr David Attias and Mr Vincent Rigano are Non-
Executive Directors and have no other material
relationships with the Group other than their
directorship. Mr Rigano has some shareholding
in the Group, he is not a substantial security
holder. As such, the Group assesses that it has
two independent directors during the year as
those relationships are defined.
The Board considers its current structure to
be an appropriate composition of the required
skills and experience, given the experience
of the individual Directors and the size and
development of the Company at the present
time. Each individual member of the Board
is satisfied that whilst the Company may not
comply with Recommendation 2.4, all Directors
bring an independent judgment to bear on Board
decisions.
The Company’s Chairman, Mr Edward Byrt
is not an independent director, due to his
shareholding, but he does not fulfil the role of
CEO. The Company therefore has not complied
with recommendation 2.5 of the Corporate
Governance Principles and Recommendations.
The Company believes this to be appropriate
at this time given the size and nature of the
Company’s operations, but will continue to
consider the composition of the board in the
future.
The Company does not maintain a formal
program for inducting new Directors, however
the Company Secretary ensures all new
directors receive adequate information and
documentation on appointment. The Company
also ensures that appropriate professional
development opportunities are provided to
directors to ensure they develop and maintain
the skills and knowledge needed to perform
their role as directors effectively.
Principle 3: Act lawfully,
ethically and responsibly
The Company has developed a Code of conduct
(the Code) which has been fully endorsed by the
Board and applies to all directors and employees.
The Code is regularly reviewed and updated
as necessary to ensure it reflects the highest
standards of behaviour and professionalism and
the practices necessary to maintain confidence
in the group’s integrity and to take into account
legal obligations and reasonable expectations
of the Company’s stakeholders.
In summary, the Code requires that at all times
all Company personnel act with the utmost
integrity, objectivity and in compliance with
the letter and the spirit of the law and company
policies.
Principle 4:
Safeguard integrity in
corporate reporting
Audit Committee (the Committee)
The Committee consists of the
following directors:
Mr Vincent Rigano (Committee Chair) (Non-
Executive Director), Mr Edward Byrt (Non-
Executive Chairman), Mr David Attias (Non-
Executive Director) and Mr Ramy Azer (Managing
Director)
Mr Vincent Rigano is an independent member
as discussed above in Principle 4 and the Chair
of the Committee. The chair of the Committee
is not the chair of the Board; however, the
independent members do not comprise the
majority of the Committee, therefore the Group
does not comply with recommendation 4.1(a)
(1) of the Corporate Governance Principles and
Recommendations. As three out of six Directors
are members of the audit committee, and given

are requested as deemed appropriate, taking
into consideration assessment of performance,

Pty Ltd (‘BDO’) was appointed as the external
auditor at the Company’s AGM in 2021. It is BDO’s
policy to rotate audit engagement partners
on listed companies in accordance with the
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001,
which is generally after five years, subject to
certain exceptions.
The amount of fees paid to the external auditors
is provided in a note to the financial statements.
It is the policy of the external auditors to provide
an annual declaration of their independence to
the Committee.
The external auditor will attend the Annual
General Meeting and be available to answer

are financially literate and have an appropriate
understanding of the industries in which the
group operates.
The number of times the Committee met
throughout the period and the
individual
attendance of the members at those meetings
are outlined within the Annual Report.
The Audit Committee does not have a formal
charter and has therefore not complied with
the Corporate
recommendation 4.1(3) of
Governance Principles and Recommendations.
The Board believes this is appropriate given the
size of the Company and the composition of the
Committee.
The Audit Committee has authority, within
the scope of its responsibilities, to seek any
information it requires from any employee or
external party.
The Managing Director and Company Secretary
have certified to the Board that the financial
statements are founded on a sound system
of risk management and
internal control
and that the system is operating efficiently
and effectively in all material respects. This
declaration is provided to the Board before it
approves the Company’s financial statements
for a financial period, and declares that in
their opinion, the financial records of the
Company have been properly maintained and
that the financial statements comply with the
appropriate accounting standards and give and
true and fair view of the financial position and
performance of the entity.
External auditors
The Company and Board Policy, is to appoint
external auditors who clearly demonstrate

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA Principle 5: Make timely
and balanced disclosure
Continuous disclosure
The Company has a policy that all the Company
Shareholders and investors have equal access to
the Company’s information. The Board will ensure
that all price sensitive information is disclosed
to the ASX in accordance with the continuous
disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act
and the ASX Listing Rules.
The Board strives to ensure that security holders
are provided with sufficient
information to
assess the performance of the Group and its
Directors and to made well-informed investment
decisions. The Company provides all information
about itself and its corporate governance via its
website at: www.papyrusaustralia.com.a10u
Principle 6: Respect the
rights of security holders
Investor relations and member
participation
The Company does not have a
formal
shareholder communication policy which is not
in compliance with recommendation
6.2 of the Corporate Governance
Principles and Recommendations.
Shareholders are encouraged to participate at
all Annual General Meetings and other General
Meetings of the Company. Upon the dispatch
of any notice of meeting to Shareholders, the
Company Secretary shall send out material
with that notice of meeting stating that all
Shareholders are encouraged to participate
at the meeting. The meetings shall also be
conducted to allow questions and feedback to
the Board and management of the Company.
The Company aims to promote effective
communication to and from shareholders. At
this time Members of the Company cannot
register to receive email notifications when an
announcement is made by the Company to the
ASX, which is a departure from recommendation
6.3 of the Corporate Governance Principles
and Recommendations; however Members are
encouraged to contact the company via their
website or directly to the registered office.
Members are also encouraged to register with
the Company’s share register to communicate
electronically.
Principle 7: Recognise
and manage risk
The Board has identified the significant areas of
potential business and legal risk of the Company.
The
identification, monitoring and, where
appropriate, the reduction of significant risk to
the Company is the responsibility of the Board.
The Board has also established an Audit, Risk
and Compliance Committee which addresses
the risks to the Company.
The Board will review and monitor the
parameters under which such risks will be
managed. Management accounts will be
prepared and reviewed at Board meetings.
Budgets will be prepared and compared against
actual results.
The Board is responsible for satisfying itself
annually, or more frequently as required, that
management has developed and implemented a
sound system of risk management and internal
control, a review took place during the reporting
period.
The Company does not have an internal audit
function due to the size and nature of the
Group, however the Audit, Business Risk
and Compliance Committee
is responsible
for ensuring there are adequate policies in
relation to risk management, compliance and
internal control systems. They monitor the
Company’s risk management by overseeing
management’s actions
the evaluation,
management, monitoring and reporting of
material operational, financial, compliance and

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA • Developing the business commercialisation

The Technology
• Developing key customer relationships
for early adoption of the technologies and
development of the banana plantation waste
processing industry
As the world confronts the growing threat of
climate change, there is an increasing demand
for innovations to reduce our global impact,
which continues to drive Papyrus Australia.
This has built a platform for the future growth
plans for Papyrus and delivered the following
key results in financial year 2021/2022.
Key Highlights:
•
Initial selection of two key end products to
support the drive for commercialisation:
1. Banana plantation waste fibre for
moulded food packaging
2. Liquid fertiliser (Musa)
• Refining the technology, process and
equipment to manufacture the two key end
products identified at the Papyrus Egypt
factory in Sohag and leased factory in
Sharqiah Egypt.
• Development of the business model with two
main operating and revenue pillars:
1. Equipment manufacturing, sales and
licencing
2. Products trading to connect producers
to users
• Secured Grant funding from the European
Bank for Reconstruction and Development
to develop the commercialisation plan and
five-year business plan
• Secured two cornerstone business partners
and customers for the initial adoption of the
technology outside our demonstration plant:
1. Egyptian Government
2. Al Ahram for Plastics Manufacturing (Al
Ahram)
Papyrus’ world-first, patented technologies
displace plastic packaging by providing
alternatives from banana fibre. This is done via
a zero-waste process that is fully sustainable,
does not consume any chemicals or water
during manufacture and does not contribute to
the destruction of the environment, addressing
growing environmental uncertainty. The global
impact of this technology on banana producing
countries has the potential to address economic
and social disadvantage and significantly
reduce the environmental degradation from
banana plantation waste.
lodged
In September 2021, Papyrus
the
Australian patent application for banana fibre
production process for moulded food packaging.
This Australian patent was an important first
step in the Company acquiring broad-ranging
international patent protection for this state-
of-the-art zero waste, dewatering and fibre
production process.
Dewatering process
The market success of the Papyrus fertiliser
product ‘MUSA’, led to the registration of this
trademark product in Egypt and as ‘MUZA’ in
Australia. With continued high demand, trials to
increase Musa production from the dewatering
plant demonstrated positive results with the
capability of doubling its output.
Fibre production process
The significant commercial value of this process
was proven in a series of trials undertaken
this year, in which the Company successfully
produced commercial quantities of high-quality
biodegradable moulded food packaging using
off-the-shelf moulding machines.
Future market opportunity also exists from the
valuation of emissions reduction from banana
tree waste stockpiles.
2 3
PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA Engineering Development
In the second half of the financial year, on the
back of selecting two end products to focus
on, Papyrus has been able to refine the process
design to five key stages of production:
1. Shredding
2. Crushing and dewatering
3. Liquid fertiliser production
4. Refining
5. Moulding
Upon completing the process design the team
has also completed the proposed plant layout
and equipment design for the process. Papyrus
has completed the prefeasibility estimate for
the sale of processing equipment from the
Equipment Manufacturing arm of its business.
This will form the foundation for initial equipment
sales to prospective customers. Papyrus has
developed the initial equipment supply chain
model and commenced engagement of key
suppliers for each of key components.
Papyrus
Egypt Joint Venture
Fiber Production Demonstration
Plant (Sohag, Egypt)
An increase in demand for Papyrus products
in Egypt earlier this year led to the upscale of
the production capacity in our operations in
Sohag. The upscaling along with the mechanical
improvements in the dewatering of the fibre
resulted in more Musa and other agri-products
being produced and
in the
quality of the fibre and pulp produced. These

revenues.
improvements
Fiber Moulding Plant
(Sharqiah, Egypt)
Increased production enabled the Papyrus’
joint venture company, Papyrus Egypt to lease
2 4
a fully operational moulded fibre packaging
facility in Sharqiah Egypt from November 2021.
This enabled the Company to fast-track testing
and production of products such as the world
first 100% banana fibre burger clam shell. The
plant is producing at scale and selling moulded
egg trays utilising fibre produced at the Sohag
factory.
It is also important to note that Papyrus Australia
has increased its equity in the Egyptian Banana
Fibre Company to 39.22% which gives it a direct
and indirect interest in Papyrus Egypt of 69.61%.
Business Development
Al Ahram for Plastics Manufacturing
The success at the Sharqiah facility led to the
signing of a partnering agreement with the
long established and successful Sohag based
Egyptian corporation Al Ahram, to enable their
transition from plastic packaging to banana
fibre-based food packaging. This first such
transition worldwide, marks the beginning of a
new era of sustainable and compostable 100%
banana fibre packaging products in Egypt that
will propel the Papyrus technology onto the
world stage.
Egyptian Government
Of significant note to showcase our philosophy
and technology is the Co-operation Protocol
and Roadmap Agreement that Papyrus has
signed with the Egyptian Government via the
National Authority for Military Production (The
Ministry). This agreement is to establish a
national industry in Egypt to process banana
plantation waste, as part of the national waste
retrieval and repurposing program.

•

IP,
the
In the licence agreement with the Egyptian
Government, Papyrus will supply technology
and
integrated control systems,
specialised components and technical support.
The Ministry will operate the facility under
commercial agreement and Papyrus will be the
sole distributor of the output of the factories.
It is estimated there is the potential for up to
40 banana waste processing factories in Egypt
based on the current area of banana plantations.
This project will substantially benefit Papyrus’
Egyptian business and help propel this innovative
Australian technology onto the world stage, as
it promotes a circular economy and produces
valuable product from waste material with a
process that has no negative environmental
impact.
Grant funding from the European
Bank for Reconstruction and
Development
A substantial opportunity for Papyrus arose at
the end of the financial year, when the European
Bank for Reconstruction and Development
(EBRD) agreed to provide funding support
for the development of a five-year business
plan. This business plan will address the full
commercialisation of the Papyrus production
facility in Sohag, Egypt and the anticipated
expansion of Papyrus in Egypt.
The EBRD funded business plan which will
look at key factors including growth over the
next five years, the profitable utilisation of
production facilities
in Egypt, employment
in local communities and the reduction of
agricultural waste and its negative impact on
the surrounding environment.
This plan will underpin the Company’s expansion
in Egypt which produces an estimated 6.7
2 5
million tonnes of banana plantation waste each
year. It also provides a model for expansion into
Africa, which has an estimated annual 1.5 billion
tonnes of banana plantation* waste that could
be processed using the Papyrus technology.

the
Company’s strategic objectives in the Australian
market. As a former MP and leader of the
New South Wales Liberal Party from 1999 to
2002, Ms Chikarovski brings highly valuable
firsthand government knowledge and extensive
community and stakeholder relations expertise
to the Company.
In January 2022 Daniel Schmidt joined the
Papyrus executive team to support the next
stage of commercialising the business. Daniel
brings over 15 years’ experience in senior roles
in the mining and metals industry, specifically
focused on the management of processing
operations, supply chains and procurement.
In his role as Chief Operating Officer, Daniel
will draw upon his experience

Outlook
The selection of two key end products and
securing the Egyptian Government and Al
Ahram as initial adopters of the technology
has tightened the focus for the business
going forward and established a framework to
commence the initial commercialisation in line
with the business model. The proposed sale of
fibre processing equipment and implementing
the business model with
the Egyptian
Government provides a critical platform and
launchpad for sales of the fibre processing
technology in the region and more significantly,
into the African market, where 60% of the
global banana and plantain plantations* exist.
The establishment of a dedicated banana waste
fibre moulding line with Al Ahram producing
finished moulded food packaging will also be a
significant step to realising commercialisation
PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA of the technology. The successful establishment
of these factories with our partners this coming
year is the final step in realising the value of the
technology at a commercial scale.
technology in response to market demand. We
are continuing to invest in growth to achieve
greater outcomes for economies, communities,
and our environment.
Papyrus continues to receive strong interest in its
technology from many banana growing regions
around the world including Australia, Philippines,
Thailand, Indonesia, Africa and South America.
With approximately 10 million hectares of banana
plantation worldwide producing an estimated
2.2 billion tonnes of agri-waste annually that is
mostly unutilised and readily accessible, there
is a significant future potential to license and
sell the Papyrus technology to growing regions
throughout the world.
In November 2021, Ms Kerry Chikarovski
was appointed as an Executive Director –
Government Relations.
The Non-Executive Directors continued to
forego their remuneration during the year.
The Annual General Meeting of the Company was
held on 26 November 2021, where the Chairman and
Managing Director gave a comprehensive review
of Company’s operations and strategic activities
including the introduction of UPE director Siew
Hong Koh and the team from L39 Capital.
In summary, Papyrus has achieved a significant
shift in capability, capacity, and operational
performance this year and with a strong
and energetic commitment to purpose,

The Board currently determines the nature and
amount of remuneration for key management

key management personnel objectives with
shareholder and business objectives by
providing a fixed remuneration component and
offering specific long-term incentives.

is currently 10.5%, and do not receive any other
retirement benefits. Some individuals, however,
may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to
increase payments towards superannuation.
All remuneration paid to key management
personnel is expensed as incurred. Executives
are also entitled to participate in the Group
share option scheme. Options are valued using
the Black-Scholes methodology.
The Board policy
is to remunerate non-
executive Directors at market rates based on
comparable companies for time, commitment
and responsibilities. The Board determines
payments to non-executive directors and
reviews their remuneration annually, based on
PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA market practice, duties and accountability.

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2022
This financial report covers the consolidated financial statements and notes of Papyrus Australia
Ltd (‘the Company’) as an Individual entity and the consolidated Group comprising Papyrus
Australia Ltd and its Controlled Entities (‘the Group’). Papyrus Australia Ltd is a for- profit Group
limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia, whose shares are publicly traded on
the Australian Securities Exchange. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the
Board of Directors on 26 September 2022.
Each of the entities within the Group prepare their financial statements based on the currency
of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). The
consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s
functional and presentation currency.
The separate financial statements and notes of the parent entity, Papyrus Australia Ltd, have
not been presented within this financial report as permitted by amendments made to the
Corporations Act 2001.
1. Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Preparation
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations,
other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the
Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under
Australian Accounting Standards.
These financial statements and notes comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation and presentation of these
financial statements are provided below and are consistent with prior reporting periods
unless otherwise stated.
Except for the cash flow information, the financial statements are prepared on an accruals
basis and are based on historical costs, except for the measurement at fair value of selected
non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
(b) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial position and performance of
controlled entities from the date on which control is obtained until the date that control is lost.
Intragroup assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions
between entities in the consolidated entity have been eliminated in full for the purpose of
these financial statements.
3 9
PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA Appropriate adjustments have been made to a controlled entity’s financial position,
performance and cash flows where the accounting policies used by that entity were different
from those adopted by the consolidated entity. All controlled entities have a June financial
year end.
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 16 to the financial statements.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the parent has control.
Control is established when the parent 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 relevant activities of the entity.
(c) Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations
regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as
the fair value of the assets given, shares issued, or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date
of exchange. Costs directly attributable to the combination are expensed as incurred. Where
equity instruments are issued in a business combination, the fair value of the instruments is
their published market price as at the date of exchange unless, in rare circumstances, it can
be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator
of fair value, and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure
of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised
directly in equity.
Except for non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale (which are
measured at fair value less costs to sell), all identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and
contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair
values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess
of the cost of the business combination over the net fair value of the Group’s share of the
identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less
than the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary, the
difference is recognised as a gain in the income statement, but only after a reassessment of
the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.
(d) Revenue and other income
Revenue is recognised when the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably, it is
probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and
specific criteria relating to the type of revenue has been satisfied.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is
presented net of returns, discounts and rebates.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
4 0
PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA Interest revenue
Interest is recognised using the effective interest method.
Grant revenue
Government grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the
grant will be received, and all grant conditions will be met. Grants relating to expense items
are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant to the costs they
are compensating. Grants relating to assets are credited to deferred income at fair value
and are credited to income over the expected useful life of the asset on a straight- line basis.
(e) Finance costs
Finance costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets
that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale,
are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready
for their intended use or sale.
All other finance costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.
(f) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits and short- term
investments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject
to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Bank overdrafts also form part of cash equivalents for the purpose of the consolidated
statement of cash flows and are presented within current liabilities on the consolidated
statement of financial position.
(g) Trade and other receivables
For trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating Expected Credit
Losses (‘ECLs’) as allowed in accordance with AASB 9 Financial Instruments.
Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss
allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.
(h) Income Tax
The tax expense recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income relates to current income tax expense plus deferred tax expense (being
the movement in deferred tax assets and liabilities and unused tax losses during the year).
Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable (recoverable) in respect of the taxable
profit (tax loss) for the year and is measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered
from) the taxation authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
4 1
PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences which are determined by comparing
the carrying amounts of tax bases of assets and liabilities to the carrying amounts in the
financial statements.
Deferred tax is not provided for the following:
The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination
and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).
Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Temporary differences related to investment in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled
entities to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the
temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured 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 (and tax
laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax consequences relating to a non- monetary asset carried at fair value are
determined using the assumption that the carrying amount of the asset will be recovered
through sale.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax
losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the
deductible temporary differences and losses can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date
and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be
available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed a each reporting date and are
recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the
deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to set
off the recognised amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis or to
realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legal right to set off current
tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax
liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same
taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities
and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously
in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are
expected to be settled or recovered.
Current and deferred tax is recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss
for the period except where the tax arises from a transaction which is recognised in other
4 2
PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA comprehensive income or equity, in which case the tax is recognised in other comprehensive
income or equity respectively.
Tax consolidation legislation
Papyrus Australia Ltd and its wholly owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income
tax consolidated group.
Each entity in the tax consolidated group accounts for their own current and deferred tax
amounts. These tax amounts are measured using the ‘stand-alone taxpayer’ approach to
allocation.
Current tax liabilities (assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax
credits in the subsidiaries are immediately transferred to the parent entity.
(i) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services
tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian
Taxation Office (ATO).
Receivables and payable are stated inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as part of
receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows are included on a gross basis and
the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from,
or payable to, the taxation authority.
(j) Plant and Equipment
Each class of plant and equipment are measured using the cost model as specified below.
Where the cost model is used, the asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation
and any impairment losses. Costs include purchase price, other directly attributable costs
and the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and restoring the asset, where applicable.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight- line and
diminishing value basis from the date that management determine that the asset is available
for use.
Assets held under a finance lease and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the
shorter of the term of the lease and the assets useful life.

comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss.
(i) Financial assets
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics
and the Group’s business model for managing them.
Initial recognition and measurement
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to
cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is
referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at
amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value
through profit or loss.
The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash
flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial
assets, or both.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s
contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention
in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell
the asset.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value
through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and

the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.
The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its
financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether
cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets,
or both.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame
established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are
recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell
the asset.
30
Subsequent measurement of financial assets at amortised cost
The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions
are met:
4 4
PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA
• The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial
assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
• The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows
that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective
interest method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit
or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar
financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated
statement of financial position) when:
• The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
• The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has
assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a
third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither
transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has
transferred control of the asset
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has
entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has
retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor
retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control
of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its
continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability.
The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects
the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is
measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum
amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt
instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference
between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash
flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original
effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of
collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been
4 5
PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for
credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months
(a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant
increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit
losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the
default (a lifetime ECL).
The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days
past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to
be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely
to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any
credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no
reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
(ii) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for
transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through
profit or loss. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated
at FVTPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised
in profit or loss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and
effective as hedging instruments).
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged
or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from
the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are
substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition
of the original liability and the recognition of the new liability. The difference in the
respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
(l) Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group determines whether there is an evidence of
an impairment indicator for non-financial assets.
Where this indicator exists and regardless for goodwill, indefinite life intangible assets and
intangible assets not yet available for use, the recoverable amount of the assets is estimated.
Where assets do not operate independently of other assets, the recoverable amount of the
relevant cash- generating unit (CGU) is estimated.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the higher of the fair value less costs of
disposal and the
value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived
from an asset or cash- generating unit.
Where the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is
4 6
PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA recognised in profit or loss.
Reversal indicators are considered in subsequent periods for all assets which have suffered
an impairment loss, except for goodwill.
(m) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods
and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and
arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase
of these goods and services.
(n) Interest bearing loans and borrowings
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received
less directly attributable transaction costs.
After initial recognition, interest- bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured
at amortised cost.
(o) Equity settled compensation
Group provides benefits to employees of the Group in the form of share- based payments,
whereby employees receive options incentives (equity- settled transactions).
There is currently one plan in place to provide these benefits, the Employee Share Option
Plan (ESOP) which provides benefits to employees.
The cost of these equity- settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to
the fair value at the date at which they were granted. The fair value is determined using the
Black- Scholes option pricing model.
The cost of equity- settled transactions is recognised as an expense in the consolidated
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, together with a corresponding
increase in the share option reserve, when the options are issued. However, where options
have vesting terms attached, the cost of the transaction is amortised over the vesting
period.
Upon the exercise of options, the balance of share-based payments reserve relating to
those options is transferred to issued capital.
(p) Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue
of ordinary shares and share options which vest immediately are recognised as a deduction
from equity, net of any tax effects.
(q) Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share information for its ordinary shares.
4 7
PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to members of the
Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the basic earnings per share to take into account the after
income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential
ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would
have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
In accordance with AASB 133 ‘Earnings per Share’, as potential ordinary shares may only result
in a situation where their conversion results in an increase in loss per share or decrease in
profit per share from continuing operations, no dilutive effect has been taken into account
in 2021 and 2022.
(r) Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial reports requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Except as described below, in preparing this report, the significant judgements made by
management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation
uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial report for the year
ended 30 June 2022.
Key estimates Impairment of assets
The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to
the Group that may lead to an impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the
recoverable amount of the asset is determined.
4 8
PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA (s) Investment in associate and joint venture
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence
is the power to participate in the financial and operational policy decisions of the investee,
but is not control or joint control over those policies.
A joint venture is a type of joint agreement whereby the parties that have joint control
of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the
contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions
about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar
to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries. The Group’s investment in its
associate and joint venture are accounted for using the equity method.
Under the equity method, the investment in an associate or joint venture is initially
recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes
in the Group’s share of the net assets of the associate or joint venture since the acquisition
date. Goodwill relating to the associate or joint venture is included in the carrying amount of
the investment and is not tested for impairment separately.
The Statement of profit or loss reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of
the associate or joint venture. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part
of the Group’s OCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the
equity of the associate or joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when
applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains or losses resulting from
transactions between the Group and associate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent
of the interest in the associate or joint venture.
The aggregate of the Group’s share of the profit or loss of an associate and a joint venture is
shown on the face of the statement of profit or loss outside operating profit and represents
profit or loss after tax and non-controlling interest in the subsidiaries of the associate or
joint venture.
The financial statements of the associate or joint venture are prepared for the same
reporting period as the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring to account
policies in line with those of the Group.
(t) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations
New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
And Not Been Adopted Early By The Group
There are a number of standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations which have
been issued by the IASB that are effective in future accounting periods that the group has
decided not to adopt early. The Group has reviewed and assessed that none of these new
accounting standards, used but not yet effective, are expected to have material impact on
the group.

Financial Risk Management (Continued)
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations
resulting in a financial loss to the Group.
The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means
of mitigating the risk of financial loss from activities.
The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty
or any Group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The credit risk on liquid
funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by
international credit-rating agencies.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any
allowances for losses, represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk.
Market risk
(i) Cash flow interest rate sensitivity
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as it holds some bank deposits at floating rates.
The Group’s policy is to minimise interest rate cash flow risk exposures on long-term
financing. Longer-term deposits are therefore usually at fixed rates. At the reporting
date, the Group is exposed to changes in market interest rates through its short term bank
deposits, which are subject to variable interest rates.
(ii) Financial instrument composition and maturity analysis
The Group is not materially exposed to any effects on changes in interest rates. The Group
has no borrowings outstanding as at the reporting date 30 June 2022 (2021: nil). Trade
payables are often settled within 30 day credit term and classified as current liabilities.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the Group’s management of working capital and the finance
charges and principal repayments on its debt instruments. It is the risk that the Group will
encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, whom
have built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the
Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The
Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF PAPYRUS AUSTRALIA LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Papyrus Australia Limited(the Company) and its subsidiaries
(the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes
to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’
declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:
(i)
Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
(ii)
Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code)
that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the
time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters.

in the assessment of whether the Group has
control over Papyrus Egypt and the
consequential accounting implications.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that

audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
