Dear Shareholder, 

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER 

I’m  pleased  to  report  to  you  on  what  has  been  a  successful,  albeit  challenging,  year  for  your 
Company. 

During the 12 months to 30 June 2018, RBR continued to make substantial progress towards its 
goal  of  being  a  leading  provider  of  training,  recruitment  and  labour  hire  services  to  the  LNG 
construction boom about to unfold in Mozambique. 

Around 50,000 workers are expected to be required for the construction of the Mozambican LNG 
projects, which have a total estimated capital cost of US$50 billion. 

Your Company has taken significant steps during the past year to ensure it is well-positioned to take 
full advantage of what we foresee as huge demand for the services we can offer. 

As  part  of  this  strategy,  we  have  established  sound  relationships  with  the  relevant  Mozambican 
Government agencies, international contractors and aid groups. 

At the same time, we have laid the foundations which will ensure we have the core competencies 
and resources needed to maximise our ability to capitalise on the opportunities which are expected 
to flow from construction of the LNG projects. 

RBR already holds a labour broking licence from the Mozambican Government. This is central to 
RBR’s labour supply aspirations.  

During  the  year,  RBR  also  gained  access  to  over  110,000  Mozambican  job-seekers,  giving  it  a 
substantial database from which it can draw potential workers. 

At  the  time  of  writing,  RBR  had  just  completed  an  accreditation  audit  by  the  UK’s  Engineering 
Construction  Industry  Training  Board  (ECITB).  Formal  accreditation  is  still  in  process  however 
expected in the near term. 

Global petroleum giant Anadarko, which owns one of the Mozambican LNG projects, has stipulated 
that  all  workers  contracted  to  its  project  must  hold  internationally-recognised  qualifications,  with 
ECITB qualifications identified as being most suitable for the local workforce.  There is an expectation 
that the other major project proponents, ExxonMobil and Eni, will adopt the same standard.  This 
means  ECITB  accreditation  would  leave  RBR  strongly  positioned  to  capitalise  on  the  significant 
training and labour hire opportunities which will flow from the LNG boom. 

To address the need for capital to fund our anticipated growth RBR has announced that it is seeking 
to raise up to $1.5 million via the issue of Convertible Notes.   

The proceeds of the Convertible Note issue, which is subject to shareholder approval, will be used 
to  purchase  equipment  for  training  activities,  further  enhance  local  capabilities  by  recruiting 
Mozambican staff with key skills and upgrade IT systems. 

Based on publicly available information, RBR expects the first of the two onshore LNG projects to 
secure  a  positive  Final  Investment  Decision  around  March  2019.  We  also  anticipate  that  some 
contracts will be issued in the months leading up to that decision. 

As  you  would  appreciate,  RBR  has  no  influence  in  the  timing  of  these  matters,  despite  the 
Company’s progress ultimately being linked to them.

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER (Continued)  

All we can do is to take all possible measures to ensure we are well-positioned to meet the labour 
and training demands as they emerge. 

Finally,  I  would  like  to  thank  our  staff  and  all  those  who  have  assisted  the  Company  across  our 
operations over  the  past  year.  It  has  been  an exceptional team  effort  in  progressing  RBR  to  this 
stage  and  I  look  forward  to  reporting  to  you  regularly  as  we  continue  our  preparations  for  what 
promises to be a significant opportunity for the Company and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder, 

LETTER FROM THE CEO 

As Chief Executive of your Company, I am pleased to report to you on the strong progress we have 
made over the past year as we seek to capitalise on the opportunities which are expected to stem 
from the emerging LNG industry in Mozambique. 

Our focus in the past financial year has been on building on the capabilities which will enable us to 
deliver our vision – “To be the leading provider of local and expatriate staffing solutions to the 
US$50 billion Mozambique LNG construction boom.  We will recruit, train and supply skilled, 
fit-for-work staff to our clients every day”.   

Mozambique  is  rapidly  shaping  up  as  a  major  LNG  producer  based  on  the  discovery  of  vast 
quantities of high-quality gas in the Rovuma Basin off the northern Cabo Delgado province.  Put into 
context, enough gas has been discovered to supply the USA’s total demand for about seven years. 

Despite this bounty, progress on starting construction has been slower than expected, with only one 
LNG project having reached the Final Investment Decision (FID) stage in the past year or so. This 
delay is due mainly to the various financial, infrastructure and logistical issues in the country. 

The Eni-operated 3.4Mtpa Coral South offshore floating LNG (FLNG) project is the first to achieve 
financial approval.  The US$8.6 billion facility is currently under construction in South Korea.  First 
gas is anticipated in 2022, with BP signing an agreement to purchase the entire production of LNG 
over the next 20 years. Coral South will be the first FLNG facility in Africa and only the third globally. 

Three mega on-shore projects are under development or consideration, with total capital expenditure 
anticipated to exceed US$50 billion and requiring up to 50,000 workers on site at peak construction. 

These projects are: 

  An Anadarko-led, two train onshore LNG plant with total nameplate capacity of 12.88Mtpa.  
This cornerstone project paves the way for significant future expansion of up to 50Mtpa. This 
project will also supply initial volumes of approximately 100 million cubic feet of natural gas 
per day (MMCFD) for domestic use in Mozambique.  Anadarko publications indicate that its 
Mozambique LNG project should create 15,000 direct jobs and 685,000 indirect jobs and that 
the  company  is  working  “to  ensure  revenues  from  the  project  will  be  used  to  generate 
significant benefits for the Government and the nation’s citizens, providing opportunities for 
poverty reduction, infrastructure improvements, and education and training”.  Anadarko’s FID 
is expected around the end of the first quarter in 2019, with first gas pencilled in for 2023/24; 
  The ExxonMobil-led project is even larger than Anadarko’s.   Exxon intends to construct two 
supertrains  of  7.6Mtpa  each,  being  the  world’s  biggest  liquefaction  units  outside 
Qatar.  Exxon and Anadarko will share onshore infrastructure in the Afungi LNG park.  Its 
FID is anticipated around the middle of 2019, with first gas expected in 2024; 

  Shell has completed a feasibility study for a US$5 billion gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant and is in 
the  concept  selection  stage.  Despite  being  the  global  leader  in  this  technology,  its  key 
challenge is securing supply of gas feedstock to the GTL plant. Without access to any in-
house production in Mozambique, Shell will rely on output from one of the other LNG facilities.  
The commencement of these projects and signing the relevant sales-purchase agreements 
will,  in turn, dictate the timing  of  Shell’s  FID.   On the positive  side, many of  the logistical, 
infrastructure  and  skilled  workforce  issues  should  have  been  resolved  by  the  time  Shell 
considers its FID. 

In the case of the Anadarko-led LNG project in Mozambique, four major “early works” capital projects 
have already been approved to enable construction to start as soon as the FID is made.

LETTER FROM THE CEO (Continued)  

These early works capital projects are: 

1.  The construction of a sealed road between Palma and Afungi;  
2.  The construction of an airstrip in Afungi;  
3.  Delivery of the Anadarko camp. The first containers are at sea; and 
4.  Increasing capacity of housing for construction workers from 400 to 1,150 beds. 

The above capital projects are in addition to resettling the 1,500 families who live in the Afungi area 
where the LNG facilities will be built. This resettlement process started earlier this year.

Major construction work for the onshore projects is expected to start in the first half of next calendar 
year, meaning contracts will be issued in coming months.

LETTER FROM THE CEO (Continued) 

Anadarko  has  recently  issued  several  public  calls  for  “Expression  of  Interest”  for  the  supply  of 
services. These include: global employment services (applications closed on 13 July 2018); marine 
warranty  survey  services  (closed  on  13  August  2018);  global  staffing  services  (closed  on  7 
September  2018);  consultancy  services  for  project  management,  project  engineering,  and 
construction engineering activities for the EPC onshore construction of the Mozambique LNG plant 
and  loading  facility  (closed  on  10  September  2018);  global  human  resource  readiness  support 
(closed  on  14  September  2018);  and  provision  of  Mozambique  standards  certification  program 
(closed on 16 October 2018). 

There  is  an  expectation  that  the  Mozambican  Government  will  mandate  a  local  content  quota  of 
between 10% and 25% of the total capital expenditure, with press articles suggesting a final level of 
around 18% being likely.  Mozambique produces very little in terms of industrial goods, with the bulk 
of local content expenditure likely to be labour-related (training and workers’ wages) and logistics. 

RBR is perfectly positioned to play a key role in training and providing this local labour. 

Anadarko  has  stated  that  it  expects  to  spend  about  US$2.5  billion  with  Mozambican-owned  or 
registered companies in Mozambique over the five-year period of the construction of the plant. The 
Project has already contracted goods and services estimated at US$850 million over the past five 
years. 

In June 2018, Mozambique’s President Nyusi announced that Anadarko would recruit, in the coming 
months,  more  than  five  thousand  workers,  mainly  young  people  from  the  district  of  Palma,  Cabo 
Delgado,  for  construction  of  its  LNG  plant.    According  to  President  Nyusi,  the  US  firm  will  soon 
present  a  corresponding  recruitment  plan  to  the  Government.  “It  was  at  our  request  because  we 
have to know the type of workforce that the company intends to recruit, to train young people who 
can access employment opportunities in the company,” the President said. 

Anadarko has stipulated that all workers contracted to its project must hold internationally-recognised 
qualifications,  with  the  UK’s  Engineering  Construction  Industry  Training  Board’s  (ECITB) 
qualifications identified as being most suitable for the local workforce.  There is an expectation that 
the other major project proponents, ExxonMobil and Eni, will adopt the same standard. 

Since  establishing  operations  in  Mozambique,  RBR  believes  it  has  put  in  place  all  the  elements 
required to achieve its vision “to be the leading provider of local and expatriate staffing solutions to 
the US$50 billion Mozambique LNG construction boom”. 

Executing this vision involves achieving several key objectives. They are: 

 

Identifying  potential  recruits  who  are  willing  and  able  to  work  in  the  targeted  sectors.  
Mozambique has stringent local content requirements which state that up to 19 locals must 
be  employed  for  each  expatriate  and  local  recruitment  must  also  be  prioritised  based  on 
proximity to the workplace, i.e. opportunities must be offered to local communities ahead of 
people  living  in  other  provinces  or  distant  locations.    RBR  has  secured  access  to  over 
110,000 Mozambican job-seekers (with potential to expand this further), arguably the largest 
consolidated database in Mozambique from which to source potential workers; 

  Ensuring  the  local  employees  have  the  skills  required  for  the  job.    Mozambique  has  no 
established qualification framework so the developers of the LNG projects have stipulated 
that all workers must have internationally-recognised qualifications before commencing work.  
RBR’s training entity Futuro Skills is able to assess the competency of individuals against 
international  standards  and,  subject  to  securing  ECITB  accreditation  (which  was  well 
advanced at the time of writing), award a recognised international qualification, as well as 
provide training in the skills which will be in high demand by the project developers; 

5 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
LETTER FROM THE CEO (Continued)  

  Recording  and  maintaining  the  qualifications  and  competencies  of  all  our  workers  in  our 

database; 

  Enabling employers to inspect a candidate’s training and competency assessment records 
at any time.  To this end, RBR developed the innovative FuturoCARDTM portable training 
record; 

  Suppling  skilled  staff  to  our  clients.    This  can  be  done  in  one  of  two  ways:  through  a 
recruitment and placement service, where the client employs the candidate directly and pays 
a recruitment fee, or through a labour hire arrangement where RBR employs the candidate 
and hires them to the client with a margin.  This service can only be offered by companies 
which hold a labour broking licence, as is the case for Futuro People (previously referred to 
as PacMoz); 

  Supplying  the  abovementioned  skilled  staff  in  the  required  numbers  and  with  the  desired 
range  of  skills/experience,  will  require  a  significant  number  of  skilled  expatriates  to  be 
employed,  at  least  until  the  capabilities  of  the  local  workforce  reasonably  matches  the 
expatriate  workforce.    Futuro  People,  with  its  labour  broking  licence  and  visa/immigration 
capabilities,  is  able  to  provide  this  service.    However,  RBR  does  not  have  an  extensive 
database of suitable skilled expatriates of its own, so an alliance has been put in place with 
a leading international recruitment organisation to service this need; 

  All the above needs to take place at multiple locations, with on-the-ground support for the 
workforce.    RBR’s  network  of  offices  and  association  with  leading  Mozambican  logistics 
company, LBH Mozambique, provides a strong geographic footprint from which to grow its 
services.

LETTER FROM THE CEO (Continued) 

During  the  financial  year,  RBR  further  streamlined  the  Mozambican  business  into  two  operating 
units, Futuro People and Futuro Skills. 

  Futuro  People  delivers  all  aspects  of  RBR’s  labour  services  and  associated  business 
support.    The  core  activities  include  recruitment,  placement  and  labour  hire,  visas  and 
immigration services, HR support and payroll administration.  Futuro People holds the labour 
broking licence; 

  Futuro  Skills  manages  everything  relating  to  skills  and  competencies in  the  workforce.  It 
holds  a  training  licence  and  recently  completed  an  accreditation  audit  by  the  UK’s 
Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) to become an approved provider 
of its internationally-recognised qualifications.  Futuro Skills offers a comprehensive portfolio 
of  training  courses,  with  a  focus  on  workplace  health  and  safety,  and  technical  trades 
including  scaffolding,  rigging,  non-critical  welding,  pipe-fitting  and  steel erecting.    We  also 
provide  trainer  training  at  multiple  levels  and  various  soft  skills  essential  to  workplace 
productivity such as communication, leadership, mentoring and time management. 

RBR  has  built  an  enviable  reputation  in  Mozambique  for  the  quality  of  its  services,  securing 
contractual work with top-tier international companies such as: South32’s Mozal aluminium smelter; 
Grindrod’s Terminal De Carvão da Matola (TCM) which operates the coal terminal in Maputo; Hytec, 
a  subsidiary  of  Bosch  Rexroth,  the  world-leading  hydraulic,  pneumatic  and  automation  products, 
repairs  and  services  supplier;  MPDC,  the  operator  of  the  Port  of  Maputo;  and  Swisscontact,  the 
business-oriented  foundation  for  international  development  cooperation  which  operates  in  36 
countries.  

The  Port  of  Mocimboa  da  Praia,  situated  80km  from  Afungi  (where  the  LNG  projects  are  being 
developed),  received  its  first  project-related  vessel  on  13  June  2018,  transporting  a  crane  and 
container in preparation for handling the first cargoes of cement arriving for the LNG projects.

LETTER FROM THE CEO (Continued)  

In  anticipation  of  this  vessel  at  Mocimboa  da  Praia,  RBR  completed  safety  and  risk  awareness 
training for 36 stevedores and general workers under a contract with Zona Norte, which operates 
the port. The logistics agents for the cargoes, LBH Mozambique, appointed RBR as a single-source 
supplier  and  the  stevedores  have  now  completed  unloading  of  the  second  large  barge  of  cranes 
being  imported  for  the  site.  The  third  barge  for  the  site  will  deliver  housing  units  and  a  shipping 
schedule for cement and housing is confirmed for the next five months. RBR-trained stevedores will 
be handling all these cargos but it importantly signifies a significant ramp up of commercial activity 
and  major  stakeholders  beginning  to 
take key construction equipment to site. 

A  potential  camp  and  training  centre 
facility for RBR has now been identified 
in  Palma,  within  5  kilometres  of  the 
Afungi site. 

Above: Mocimboa da Praia – Second 
cargo delivery  

to  our 
business  strategy,  we  have  extended  our  reach  into  Guinea  in  West  Africa,  which  is  another 
emerging resources-driven market with significant needs in terms of skilled local labour. 

While  Mozambique 

is  central 

RBR has established a joint venture entity with Guinean labour services firm SEPIS Sarl (SEPIS) to 
provide holistic labour services to support the requirements of industry in the country. The JV entity 
is named Futuro Skills Guinea (FSG) and owned 60% by RBR and 40% by SEPIS. 

An  MoU  has  been  signed  with  the  Office  National  de  Formation  et  de  Perfectionnement 
Professionnels  (ONFPP),  the  government  department  responsible  for  training  and  professional 
development in Guinea, recognising FSG and stating that, where possible, the joint venture entity 
will work with ONFPP to develop nationally accredited training programs and standards. 

Under Guinean legislation, companies employing 10 or more staff are required to pay an amount 
equal to 1.5% of their gross payroll into a national fund to be used for skills training. This fund is 
administered by the ONFPP. 

The ONFPP has also given an undertaking to promote FSG amongst companies seeking training 
services in Guinea. At an introductory meeting with the President of the Guinea Chamber of Mines, 
the need for skills development proposed under the FSG venture was confirmed.

LETTER FROM THE CEO (Continued) 

THE WAY FORWARD 

The strong progress made by RBR during the past financial year has left it well-placed to supply the 
major  LNG  projects  planned  for  Mozambique.  We  have  strengthened  our  team  and  significantly 
improved our facilities and technology. 

These Mozambique onshore LNG projects could create employment opportunities collectively worth 
more than US$1 billion a year in salaries. 

RBR’s capabilities in Mozambique give the Company a significant point of difference. Other labour 
providers focus on recruiting “work-ready” candidates but do not have RBR’s capacity to develop 
their own workforce with internationally-recognised qualifications. 

While maintaining our focus on Mozambique, we will continue to target other emerging markets with 
similarly  strict  local  content  laws  and  lower  levels  of  education,  primarily  in  Africa.  The  recent 
recovery  in  commodity  prices  should  help  to  drive  resource  development  activity  –  and  therefore 
demand for our services – in markets of this kind.  

The key risks to RBR remain unchanged, and are: 

  Recruiting and retaining staff of a calibre required to deliver our vision as the business grows; 
  Growing  RBR’s  capacity  at  the  required  pace  and  extending  its  network  of  facilities  in 

Mozambique to meet future demand; 

  Securing future business, including the timing and value of these contracts.  The LNG Project 

schedules are out of RBR’s control. 

To support this strong growth potential, the Company intends to issue unsecured Convertible Notes 
to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors to raise up to A$1.5 million. 

The net proceeds of the issue of the Convertible Notes will be used to: 

  Purchase equipment for training activities; 
  Enter into lease/rental agreements on training facilities in the north of the country near the 

LNG construction sites; 

  Further enhance local capabilities by recruiting Mozambican staff with key skills; 
  Upgrade IT systems ahead of business growth; 
  General working capital purposes. 

I believe RBR has an outstanding future and will increasingly unlock the value of what it has created 
as the Mozambican LNG industry gathers pace. 

Thank you very much for your support.

AUSTRALIAN JOINT VENTURE INTERESTS  

Yindarlgooda Area 

RBR retains interests in the Peters Dam Joint Venture and the Yindarlgooda Joint Venture at the 
Yindarlgooda Area located east of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. 

The  Yindarlgooda  Area  comprises  approximately  190km2  of  granted  and  tenure  and  76km2  in 
applications  centred  55km  east  of  Kalgoorlie.  The  region  contains  gold,  base  metal  and  iron 
occurrences.  

The  projects  are  held  under  two  joint  ventures;  the  Peters  Dam  Joint  Venture  with  Silver  Lake 
Resources  Limited  (“Silver  Lake”)  as  managers,  and  Yindarlgooda  Joint  Venture  with  Newmont 
Exploration Limited (“Newmont”), also managers. 

Peters Dam Joint Venture (Silver Lake Resources Limited 71% (RBR diluting)) 

In July 2009, RBR entered into the Peters Dam joint venture with Integra Mining Ltd (later to become 
Silver  Lake),  covering  20km2  of  RBR  tenements  at  the  southern  end  of  the  Yindarlgooda  area 
adjacent to Sliver Lake’s Salt Creek gold deposit. Silver Lake has expended $2.1 million exploring 
the project area and earned a 70% equity. 

No  drilling  or  sampling  work  was  conducted  by  Silver  Lake  during  the  reporting  period  due  to  a 
reduction in its exploration budget. 

Yindarlgooda  Joint  Venture

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES 

The principal activities of the Consolidated Entity during the financial year focused on Mozambique. The group operates 
via subsidiaries Pac Moz, Lda (“PacMoz”), Futuro Skills Mozambique, Lda (“Futuro Skills”) and Futuro Business Services, 
Lda in the provision of labour, training and professional services in Mozambique. The Australian business maintains its 
mineral exploration and development assets, primarily in Western Australia (refer to the review of operations and activities 
below), and owns a Registered Training Organisation. 

DIVIDENDS 

No dividend has been paid since the end of the previous financial year and no dividend is recommended for the current 
year. 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITIES 

RBR’s  strategy  remains  unchanged  and  is  focused  on:  the  further  growth  of  its  business  base;  establishing  itself  as  a 
leading service provider to the resources, construction and oil & gas sectors; and leveraging its position with a watching 
brief on mineral resource opportunities.  As the mining sector recovers globally, the company is optimistic regarding the 
business opportunities before it. 

To achieve its financial objectives, RBR has the following key strategic priorities:   

Growing RBR’s position and capabilities in Mozambique 

RBR  prepares  to  capitalise  on  the  impending  US$50  billion  LNG  construction  boom  in  Mozambique.    The  giant  LNG 
projects, one of which will be built by the Anadarko-led consortium and the other by the ExxonMobil-led consortium, are 
expected to present their respective decision makers with their FID in 2019.  These projects will be amongst the largest 
investments ever in Africa, and certainly the largest investment in Mozambique.  RBR, through its local subsidiaries, is 
perfectly positioned for the labour element. 

Futuro Skills has continued to grow revenues through securing both new and repeat contracts with tier-one companies in-
country, strengthening its position as the premier provider of training in Mozambique. 

RBR  has  expanded  its  network  of  potential  Mozambican  job  seekers  by  more  than  100,000  people  through  database 
agreements with local companies.  The databases now accessible to RBR comprise job seekers with a range of education 
standards, training and work experience. 

Growing the business in Africa 

The need for training of indigenous people for participation in the labour market is not confined to Mozambique.  RBR’s 
goal is to secure similar contracts in other African countries to grow the business and reduce portfolio risk by diversifying 
its revenue streams by commodity and country. 

RBR has commenced its African expansion in Guinea, West Africa with the establishment of a Joint Venture company with 
Guinean labour services firm SEPIS, named Futuro Skills Guinea (FSG).  FSG is now licensed as a training provider, and 
is seeking to create a “Mining Centre of Excellence” in the bauxite-rich Boké region. 

The  strategy  in  Guinea  is  to  replicate  RBR’s  successful  Mozambique  model,  establishing  a  pool  of  work-ready,  skilled 
locals and creating a skills database managed by FSG. The JV company would then be the primary provider of employees 
to the mining industry via placement or labour broking services, which would attract a fee.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued) 

Maintaining RBR’s position in Australia 

RBR's has maintained its exploration portfolio interests in Australia via joint ventures with tier-one and mid-tier gold sector 
companies.    Our  major  project  is  the  Yindarlgooda  gold  project  located  east  of  Kalgoorlie.    The  company  executed  a 
Farm-in Agreement with Newmont Exploration Pty Ltd (Newmont) in 2017 pursuant to which Newmont is required, under 
a multi-phase program to invest up to approximately A$2 million to earn a 75% equity stake in the project.  The Farm-in 
Agreement allows RBR to retain exposure to exploration success whilst retaining focus and capital for the development 
and growth of its services sector.  

Corporate and Financial Position 

As at 30 June 2018 the Consolidated Entity had cash reserves of $341,920 (2017: $339,084).  The net loss for the year 
was $1,423,464 (2017: $1,078,031) including a non-cash impairment charge of $150,000 (2017: $124,618). 

Risk Management 

The  Board  is  responsible  for  the  oversight  of  the  Consolidated  Entity’s  risk  management  and  control  framework. 
Responsibility  for  control  and  risk  management  is  delegated  to  the  appropriate  level  of  management  with  the  Chief 
Executive Officer having ultimate responsibility to the Board for the risk management and control framework. 

Areas of significant business risk to the Consolidated Entity are presented to the Board by the Chief Executive Officer each 
year.   

Arrangements put in place by the Board to monitor risk management include monthly reporting to the Board in respect of 
operations and the financial position of the Consolidated Entity.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS 

RBR transitioned the ASX listing classification of the Company from a "mining exploration entity" to a standard industrial 
listing, effective from the 30 September 2017. The reclassification, which reflects the evolution in RBR’s business focus 
from  mineral  exploration  to  labour  services,  will  provide  greater  clarity  for  existing  shareholders  and  investors  on  the 
Company’s operating activities, and better align periodic reporting requirements with underlying operations. 

In the opinion of the Directors there were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Consolidated Entity that 
occurred during the financial year under review.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued) 

REMUNERATION REPORT 

the  ASX  Corporate  Governance  Council’s  Corporate  Governance  Principles  and 
Recommendation  8.1  of 
Recommendations (2nd edition) states that the Board should establish a Remuneration Committee.  The Board has formed 
the view that given the number of Directors on the Board, this function could be performed just as effectively with full Board 
participation.    Accordingly,  it  was  resolved  that  there  would  be  no  separate  Board  sub-committee  for  remuneration 
purposes. 

This report details the amount and nature of remuneration of each Director of the Consolidated Entity and executive officers 
of the Consolidated Entity during the year. 

Overview of Remuneration Policy 

The Board of Directors is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors and the 
executive  team.    The  broad  remuneration  policy  is  to  ensure  that  remuneration  properly  reflects  the  relevant  person’s 
duties and responsibilities, and that the remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the 
highest quality.  The Board believes that the best way to achieve this objective is to provide the Managing Director (or 
equivalent)  and  the  Executive  Team  with  a  remuneration  package  consisting  of  a  fixed  and  variable  component  that 
together  reflects  the  person’s  responsibilities,  duties  and  personal  performance.    An  equity  based  remuneration 
arrangement for the Board and the Executive Team is in place.  The remuneration policy is to provide a fixed remuneration 
component  and  a  specific  equity  related  component,  with  no  performance  conditions.  The  Board  believes  that  this 
remuneration policy is appropriate given the stage of development of the Consolidated Entity and the activities which it 
undertakes and is appropriate in aligning Director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives. 

The remuneration policy in regard to setting the terms and conditions for the Chief Executive Officer has been developed 
by  the  Board  taking  into  account  market  conditions  and  comparable  salary  levels  for  companies  of  a  similar  size  and 
operating in similar sectors. 

Directors receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.5% per annum 
and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, can choose to sacrifice part or all of their 
salary to increase payments towards superannuation. 

All remuneration paid to Directors is valued at cost to the Consolidated Entity and expensed.  Options are valued using 
either the Black-Scholes methodology or the Binomial model.  In accordance with current accounting policy the value of 
these options is expensed over the relevant vesting period. 

Non-Executive Directors 

The  Board  policy  is  to  remunerate  Non-Executive  Directors  at  market  rates  for  comparable  companies  for  time, 
commitment  and  responsibilities.  The  Board  determines  payments  to  the  Non-Executive  Directors  and  reviews  their 
remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability.  Independent external advice is sought when 
required.  The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject to approval by 
shareholders at a General Meeting.  The annual aggregate amount of remuneration paid to Non-Executive Directors was 
approved by shareholders on 7 November 2006 and is not to exceed $200,000 per annum.  Actual remuneration paid to 
the Consolidated Entity’s Non-Executive Directors is disclosed below notwithstanding the approved maximum of $200,000 
and the policy of fair remuneration, Non-Executive Directors have accepted significantly reduced remuneration fees in light 
of  the  restricted  working  capital  position  of  the  company  as  it  builds  its  business  units.    Remuneration  fees  for  Non-
Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Consolidated Entity.  However, to align Directors’ interests 
with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Consolidated Entity. 

Senior Executives and Management 

The  Consolidated  Entity  aims  to  reward  executives  with  a  level  of  remuneration  commensurate  with  their  position  and 
responsibilities within the Consolidated Entity so as to: 

 

 
 

Reward  executives  of  the  Consolidated  Entity  and  individual  performance  against  targets  set  by  reference  to 
appropriate benchmarks; 
Reward executives in line with the strategic goals and performance of the Consolidated Entity; and 
Ensure that total remuneration is competitive by market standards. 

Structure 

Remuneration consists of the following key elements: 

 
 

Fixed remuneration; and 
Issuance of performance rights.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued) 

Fixed Remuneration 

Fixed  remuneration  consists  of  base  remuneration  (which  is  calculated  on  a  total  cost  basis  including  any  employee 
benefits e.g. motor vehicles) as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds. 

The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position 
and is competitive in the market. 

Remuneration  packages  for  the  staff  who  report  directly  to  the  Managing  Director  (or  equivalent)  are  based  on  the 
recommendation of the Managing Director (or equivalent), subject to the approval of the Board in the annual budget setting 
process.

Mr Richard Carcenac was appointed Chief Executive Officer and an Executive Director on 16 June 2015.  A summary of 
his employment contract is as follows:

The principal accounting policies adopted in preparing the financial report of the Company, RBR Group Limited and 
its controlled entities (“RBR” or “Consolidated Entity”), are stated to assist in a general understanding of the financial 
report.  These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise indicated.   

RBR  Group  Limited  is  a  Company  limited  by  shares  incorporated  and  domiciled  in  Australia  whose  shares  are 
publicly traded on the official list of the Australian Securities Exchange.  The financial statements are presented in 
Australian dollars which is the Consolidated Entity’s functional currency. 

(a) 

Basis of Preparation 

This  general  purpose  financial  report  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting 
Standards (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and 
the Corporations Act 2001. 

RBR Group Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. 

The  financial  report  has  been  prepared  on  the  basis  of  historical  costs  and  does  not  take  into  account 
changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets. 

The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors. 

Going Concern 

The Consolidated Entity incurred a loss for the year of $1,423,464 (2017: $1,078,031) including a non-cash 
impairment charge of $150,000 (2017: $124,618). 

At 30 June 2018 the Consolidated Entity had cash assets of $341,920 (2017: $339,084) and working capital 
of $315,800 (2017: $490,802).  During the financial year the Company raised $1,092,014 before costs. 

Although the above is indicative of a material uncertainty, the Company maintains the ongoing support of its 
major  shareholders  and  capital  markets  advisers  in  ensuring  continuing  access  to  equity  funds.  The 
Company completed capital raises in September 2017, January 2018 and June 2018 that included the issue 
of 28,850,002 unquoted placement options exercisable at 1.8 cents and expiring on 31 July 2019.  The latest 
raise was structured with the aim of raising an additional $519,300 from exercise of options on or before 
31 July 2019. In the event these options are not exercised, the Company is confident that it will be able to 
access  additional  funds  through  the  equity  markets  during  the  year  to  allow  for  operating  activities  to 
continue,  if  required.    Based  on  this  information,  the  Directors  consider  it  appropriate  that  the  financial 
statements be prepared on a going concern basis. 

(b) 

Use of Estimates and Judgements 

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  judgements,  estimates  and 
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 
income  and  expenses.    Actual  results  may  differ  from  these  estimates.    Estimates  and  underlying 
assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.  Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the 
period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.  None of the balances reported 
have been derived from estimates. 

(c) 

Basis of Consolidation  

Controlled Entity 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  comprise  the  financial  statements  of  RBR  Group  Limited  and  its 
subsidiaries as at 30 June each year. 

The  financial  statements  of  the  subsidiaries  are  prepared  for  the  same  reporting  period  as  the  parent 
company, using consistent accounting policies. 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and 
expenses  and  profit  and  losses  resulting  from  intra-group  transactions  have  been  eliminated  in  full.  The 
subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity 
and ceases to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the consolidated entity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 
For the year ended 30 June 2018 

The acquisition of the subsidiaries has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The 
purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of 
the  assets  acquired  and  the  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  assumed  at  the  date  of  acquisition. 
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the results of the subsidiaries for the period from 
their acquisition. 

Joint Ventures 

Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities the consolidated entity has joint control, established 
by contractual agreement. 

In the consolidated entity’s financial statements, investments in joint ventures are carried at cost.  Details of 
these interests are shown in Note 27. 

(d) 

Income Tax 

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income 
based  on  the  income  tax  rate  adjusted  by  changes  in  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  attributable  to 
temporary  differences  between  the  tax  bases  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  their  carrying  amounts  in  the 
financial statements, and to unused tax losses. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply 
when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted.  The 
relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to 
measure the deferred tax asset or liability.  An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising 
from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability.  No deferred asset or liability is recognised in relation to 
those temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the 
time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is 
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

Current and future tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised 
directly in equity.   

(e) 

Foreign Currency Translation 

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is RBR Group Limited’s functional and 
presentation currency. 

Foreign currency transactions 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars 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 financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. 

Foreign operations 

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates 
at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars 
using  the  average  exchange  rates,  which  approximate  the  rates  at  the  dates  of  the  transactions,  for  the 
period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through 
the foreign currency reserve in equity. 

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is 
disposed of. 

(f) 

Revenue Recognition 

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Consolidated 
Entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met 
before revenue is recognised.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 
For the year ended 30 June 2018 

Interest income 

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on 
the financial asset.   

(g) 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and 
short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. 

For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash 
and cash equivalents as defined above, which are readily convertible to cash on hand and which are used 
in the cash management function on a day-to-day basis. 

(h) 

Employee Entitlements 

Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  annual  leave  and  other  current  employee  entitlements  expected  to  be 
settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ 
services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities 
are settled.  Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured 
at the rates paid or payable. 

Contributions to employee superannuation plans are charged as an expense as the contributions are paid 
or become payable. 

(i) 

Plant and Equipment and Motor Vehicles 

Each class of plant and equipment and motor vehicles is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, 
any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

Plant and equipment and motor vehicles 

Plant  and  equipment  and  motor  vehicles  are  stated  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  any 
impairment in value. 

The carrying values of plant and equipment and motor vehicles are reviewed for impairment when events or 
changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. 

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined 
for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

If any such indication exists where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets 
or cash generating units are written down to their recoverable amount. 

Depreciation 

Depreciable non-current assets are depreciated over their expected economic life using either the straight 
line or the diminishing value method.  Profits and losses on disposal of non-current assets are taken into 
account in determining the operating loss for the year. The depreciation rate used for each class of assets 
is as follows: 

 

Plant & equipment 

20 - 33% 

(j) 

Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

Revenues, 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”).  In these 
circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of 
the expense. 

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.  GST incurred is claimed from the 
ATO when a valid tax invoice is provided.    The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the 
ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 
For the year ended 30 June 2018 

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis.  The GST components of cash 
flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are 
classified as operating cash flows. 

(k) 

Payables 

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the 
end of the financial year and which are unpaid.  The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 
days of recognition. 

(l) 

Contributed Equity 

Issued capital is recognised as the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. 

Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction 
of the share proceeds received. 

(m)  Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure 

Mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area 
of interest and is subject to impairment testing.  These costs are carried forward only if they relate to an area 
of interest for which rights of tenure are current and in respect of which: 

 

 

such costs are expected to be recouped through the successful development and exploitation of the 
area of interest, or alternatively by its sale; or 
exploration  and/or  evaluation  activities  in  the  area  have  not  reached  a  stage  which  permits  a 
reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active 
or significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. 

In the event that an area of interest is abandoned or if the Directors consider the expenditure to be of reduced 
value, accumulated costs carried forward are written off in the year in which that assessment is made.  A 
regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry 
forward costs in relation to that area of interest. 

Where  a  mineral  resource  has  been  identified  and  where  it  is  expected  that  future  expenditures  will  be 
recovered by future exploitation or sale, the impairment of the exploration and evaluation is written back and 
transferred  to  development  costs.    Once  production  commences,  the  accumulated  costs  for  the  relevant 
area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically 
recoverable reserves. 

Costs  of  site  restoration  and  rehabilitation  are  recognised  when  the  Consolidated  Entity  has  a  present 
obligation,  the  future  sacrifice  of  economic  benefits  is  probable  and  the  amount  of  the  provision  can  be 
reliably estimated. 

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present 
obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. 
Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying 
amount is the present value of those cash flows. 

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if: 

(i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and 
(ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. 

For the purpose 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  re-classified  from  intangible  assets  to  mining  property  and  development 
assets within property, plant and equipment.

(n) 

Earnings per Share 

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are calculated based upon the net profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders 
of the parent divided by the weighted average number of shares.  Diluted EPS are calculated as the net 
profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders of the parent divided by the weighted average number of shares 
and dilutive potential shares. 

(o) 

Leases 

Leases  are  classified  at  their  inception  as  either  operating  or  finance  leases  based  on  the  economic 
substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership. 

The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the 
risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis 
over the term of the lease. 

(p) 

Share-based payment transactions 

The  Company  provides  benefits  to  employees  (including  Directors  and  Consultants)  of  the  Consolidated 
Entity in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange 
for shares or rights over shares (“Equity–settled transactions”). 

There is currently one plan in place to provide these benefits being an Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”) 
which provides benefits to Directors, Consultants and Senior Executives. 

The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to fair value at the date at which they 
are  granted.    The  fair  value  is  determined  by  an  external  valuer  using  the  either  the  Black-Scholes  or 
Binomial model. 

In  valuing  equity-settled  transactions,  no  account  is  taken  of  any  performance  conditions,  other  than 
conditions linked to the price of the shares of RBR Group Limited (“market conditions”). 

The cost of equity settled securities is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the 
period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees 
become fully entitled to the award (“vesting date”). 

Where the Consolidated Entity acquires some form of interest in an exploration tenement or an exploration 
area of interest and the consideration comprises share-based payment transactions, the fair value of the 
equity  instruments  granted  is  measured  at  grant  date.   The  cost  of  equity  securities is  recognised  within 
capitalised mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure, together with a corresponding increase in equity.  

(q) 

Comparative Figures 

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in 
presentation for the current financial year.  

(r) 

Financial risk management 

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management 
framework, to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Consolidated Entity.  These risks include credit 
risk, liquidity risk and market risk from the use of financial instruments.  The Consolidated Entity has only 
limited use of financial instruments through its cash holdings being invested in short term interest bearing 
securities.  The primary goal of this strategy is to maximise returns while minimising risk through the use of 
accredited Banks with a minimum credit rating of A1 from Standard & Poors.  The Consolidated Entity has 
no debt, and working capital is maintained at its highest level possible and regularly reviewed by the full 
board. 

(s) 

Changes in accounting policies and disclosures 

In the current year, the Consolidated Entity has adopted all new and revised Standards and Interpretations 
that have been issued and are effective for the accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2015. The 
adoption  of  the  new  and  revised  Standards  and  Interpretations  has  not  resulted  in  any  changes  to  the 
Group’s accounting policies.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(t) 

Standards issued but not yet effective 

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not 
yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Consolidated Entity for the annual reporting period ended 
30 June 2018. The Consolidated Entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Consolidated Entity, are set out below. 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable to annual reporting periods 
beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2018).    The  Standard  will  be  applicable  retrospectively  (subject  to  the 
provisions on hedge accounting outlined below) and includes revised requirements for the classification and 
measurement  of  financial  instruments,  revised  recognition  and  derecognition  requirements  for  financial 
instruments and simplified requirements for hedge accounting. 

The  key  changes  that  may  affect  the  Group  on  initial  application  include  certain  simplifications  to  the 
classification  of  financial  assets,  simplifications  to  the  accounting  of  embedded  derivatives,  upfront 
accounting  for  expected  credit  loss,  and  the  irrevocable  election  to  recognise  gains  and  losses  on 
investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income.  AASB 9 also 
introduces a new model for hedge accounting that  will allow  greater flexibility in the ability to hedge risk, 
particularly with respect to hedges of non-financial items.  Should the entity elect to change its hedge policies 
in  line  with  the  new  hedge  accounting  requirements  of  the  Standard,  the  application  of  such  accounting 
would be largely prospective. 

Although the Directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 may have an impact on the Group’s financial 
instruments, including hedging activity, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of 
such impact. 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or 
after  1  January  2018,  as  deferred  by  AASB  2015-8:  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  – 
Effective Date of AASB 15). 

When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to revenue with a 
single, principles-based model. Except for a limited number of exceptions, including leases, the new revenue 
model in AASB 15 will apply to all contracts with customers as well as non-monetary exchanges between 
entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers and potential customers. 

The core principle of the Standard is that 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 the goods or services. To achieve this objective, AASB 15 provides the following 
five-step process: 

identify the contract(s) with a customer; 
identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); 

- 
- 
-  determine the transaction price; 
-  allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and 
- 

recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied. 

The transitional provisions of this Standard permit an entity to either: restate the contracts that existed in 
each  prior  period  presented  per  AASB  108:  Accounting  Policies,  Changes  in  Accounting  Estimates  and 
Errors  (subject  to  certain  practical  expedients  in  AASB  15);  or  recognise  the  cumulative  effect  of 
retrospective application to incomplete contracts on the date of initial application. There are also enhanced 
disclosure requirements regarding revenue. 

Although the Directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 15 may have an impact on the Group’s financial 
statements, they are in the process of negotiating revenue contracts and therefore it is impracticable at this 
stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact. 

AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). 
When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB 
117:  Leases  and  related  Interpretations.  AASB  16  introduces  a  single  lessee  accounting  model  that 
eliminates the requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases. 

The main changes introduced by the new Standard include: 
- 

recognition of a right-to-use asset and liability for all leases (excluding short-term leases with less than 
12 months of tenure and leases relating to low-value assets); 

30 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
31 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 
For the year ended 30 June 2018 

-  depreciation of right-to-use assets in line with AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment in profit or loss 

and unwinding of the liability in principal and interest components; 

-  variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are included in the initial measurement of the 

lease liability using the index or rate at the commencement date; 

-  by applying a practical expedient, a lessee is permitted to elect not to separate non-lease components 

and instead account for all components as a lease; and 

-  additional disclosure requirements. 

The  transitional  provisions  of  AASB  16  allow  a  lessee  to  either  retrospectively  apply  the  Standard  to 
comparatives in line with AASB 108 or recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application as an 
adjustment to opening equity on the date of initial application. 

The  Directors  anticipate  that  the  adoption  of  AASB  16  will  impact  the  Group's  financial  statements  and 
estimate that the impact to be similar to the operating lease commitments of $193,747, detailed in note 18. 
AASB 2014-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests 
in Joint Operations (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016). 

This Standard amends AASB 11: Joint Arrangements to require the acquirer of an interest (both initial and 
additional) in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business, as defined in AASB 3: Business 
Combinations,  to  apply  all  of  the  principles  on  business  combinations  accounting  in  AASB  3  and  other 
Australian Accounting Standards except for those principles that conflict with the guidance in AASB 11; and 
disclose  the  information  required  by  AASB  3  and  other  Australian  Accounting  Standards  for  business 
combinations. 

The  application  of  AASB  2014-3  will  result  in  a  change  in  accounting  policies  for  the  above  described 
transactions,  which  were  previously  accounted  for  as  acquisitions  of  assets  rather  than  applying  the 
acquisition method per AASB 3. 

The  transitional  provisions  require  that  the  Standard  should  be  applied  prospectively  to  acquisitions  of 
interests in joint operations occurring on or after 1 January 2016. As at 30 June 2016, management is not 
aware of the existence of any such arrangements that would impact the financial statements of the entity 
going forward and as such is not capable of providing a reasonable estimate at this stage of the impact on 
initial application of AASB 2014-3. 

AASB 2014-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Sale or Contribution of Assets between 
an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 
1 January 2018, as deferred by AASB 2015-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective 
Date of Amendments to AASB 10 and AASB 128). 

This Standard amends AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements with regards to a parent losing control 
over a subsidiary that is not a “business” as defined in AASB 3 to an associate or joint venture, and requires 
that: 

-  a gain or loss (including any amounts in other comprehensive income (OCI)) be recognised only to the 

- 

extent of the unrelated investor’s interest in that associate or joint venture; 
the remaining gain or loss be eliminated against the carrying amount of the investment in that associate 
or joint venture; and 

-  any gain or loss from remeasuring the remaining investment in the former subsidiary at fair value also 
be recognised only to the extent of the unrelated investor’s interest in the associate or joint venture. The 
remaining gain or loss should be eliminated against the carrying amount of the remaining investment. 

The application of AASB 2014-10  will result in a change in accounting policies for transactions of loss of 
control over subsidiaries (involving an associate or joint venture) that are businesses per AASB 3 for which 
gains or losses were previously recognised only to the extent of the unrelated investor’s interest. 

The transitional provisions require that the Standard should be applied prospectively to sales or contributions 
of subsidiaries to associates or joint ventures occurring on or after 1 January 2018. Although the directors 
anticipate that the adoption of AASB 2014-10 may have an impact on the Group’s financial statements, it is 
impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.

INCOME TAX  

(a) 

Income tax expense

The carrying value of the goodwill for PacMoz was subject to impairment testing in accordance with the accounting 
standards.    A  valuation  was  undertaken  using  a  discounted  cashflow  model  based  on  current  cashflows  plus 
expected revenues and a discount rate of 12% and the Board approved an impairment of $150,000.  The carrying 
value of the intangible is expected to be indefinite and will be evaluated on a six-month basis in the future. 

The Directors reviewed the carrying value of Freelance Support Pty Ltd against current revenues and income in 
that entity and formed a view that the carrying value is recoverable.

Capital Risk Management 

Due to the nature of the Consolidated Entity’s activities, the Consolidated Entity does not have ready access to 
credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings.  Therefore, the focus of the Consolidated 
Entity’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements to meet the costs 
of development of the group’s business units and corporate overheads.  The Consolidated Entity’s strategy is to 
ensure  appropriate  liquidity  is  maintained  to  meet  anticipated  operating  requirements,  with  a  view  to  initiating 
appropriate capital raisings as required.  The working capital position of the Consolidated Entity is as follows:

22.   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

The  Consolidated  Entity's  activities  expose  it  to  a  variety  of  financial  risks  and  market  risks.    The  Consolidated 
Entity's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise 
potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Consolidated Entity. 

(a) 

Interest Rate Risk 

The  Consolidated  Entity’s  exposure  to  interest  rate  risk,  which  is  the  risk  that  a  financial  instrument’s  value  will 
fluctuate as a result of changes in market, interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on those 
financial assets, is as follows:

Foreign currency exchange risk 

The Consolidated Entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies, hence exposures to 
exchange rate fluctuations arise. The carrying amount of the Consolidated Entity’s foreign currency denominated 
monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting date is as follows: 

Assets – Mozambique Metical 

Liabilities – Mozambique Metical 

Assets – Guinean Franc 

Liabilities – Guinean Franc

The Consolidated Entity is exposed to Mozambique Metical (MZN) and Guinea Franc (GNF) currency fluctuations.  

The following table details the Consolidated Entity’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the Australian 
Dollar (AUD) against the relevant currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk 
internally  to  key  management  personnel  and  represents  management’s  assessment  of  the  possible  change  in 
foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary 
items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. 

The sensitivity analysis includes cash balances held in MZN/GNF and trade creditors and other payables held in 
MZN/GNF. A positive number indicates an increase in profit and other equity where the AUD weakens against the 
relevant currency. For a strengthening Australian Dollar against the relevant currency there would be an equal and 
opposite impact on the profit and other equity and the balances would be negative.

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date, is the 
carrying amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the balance sheet and in the notes to the 
financial statements. 

The Consolidated Entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors, 
under financial instruments entered into by it.  As at the end of the year the Consolidated Entity had trade receivables 
of $199,654 (2017: $295,539) as detailed in Note 6.  Included in the trade receivables of $200,471 at 30 June 2018, 
$164,079 were due in less than 6 months, $17,682 were due between 6-12 months and $17,893 were due between 
1-5 years. 

(d) 

Liquidity Risk 

The liquidity position of the Consolidated Entity is managed to ensure sufficient liquid funds are available to meet 
financial obligations as they fall due. The contractual maturities of the financial liabilities referred to in Note 12 at 
the reporting date are less than 12 months. 

(e) 

Net Fair Values 

For assets and other liabilities, the net fair value approximates their carrying value.  No financial assets and financial 
liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form.  The Consolidated Entity has no financial 
assets where the carrying amount exceeds net fair values at balance date. 

The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the 
statement of financial position and in the notes to the financial statements. 

23. 

EMPLOYEE ENTITLEMENTS AND SUPERANNUATION COMMITMENTS 

Employee Entitlements 

The aggregate employee entitlement liability is disclosed in Note 13. 

Directors, Officers, Employees and Other Permitted Persons Option Plan 

Details of the Consolidated Entity’s Directors, Officers, Employees and Other Permitted Persons Option Plan are 
disclosed in Note 17. 

Superannuation Commitments 

The Consolidated Entity contributes to individual employee accumulation superannuation plans at the statutory rate 
of the employees’ wages and salaries, in accordance with statutory requirements, to provide benefits to employees 
on retirement, death or disability. 

Accordingly, no actuarial assessments of the plans are required. 

Funds are available for the purposes of the plans to satisfy all benefits that would have been vested under the plans 
in the event of: 

 
 
 

termination of the plans; 
voluntary termination by all employees of their employment; and 
compulsory termination by the employer of the employment of each employee. 

During the year employer contributions (including salary sacrifice amounts) to superannuation plans totaled $38,851 
(2017: $38,439).

24. 

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES 

There were no material contingent liabilities not provided for in the financial statements of the Consolidated Entity 
as at 30 June 2018 other than: 

Native Title and Aboriginal Heritage  

Native title claims have been made with respect to areas which include tenements in which the Consolidated Entity 
has an interest.  The Consolidated Entity is unable to determine the prospects for success or otherwise of the claims 
and, in any event, whether or not and to what extent the claims may significantly affect the Consolidated Entity or 
its projects.  Agreement is being or has been reached with various native title claimants in relation to Aboriginal 
Heritage issues regarding certain areas in which the Consolidated Entity has an interest. 

PacMoz loans from Vendors 

As  part  of  the  purchase  of  a  60%  interest  in  PacMoz  Lda,  an  amount  of  $200,000  of  vendor  loans  which  were 
created against internally generated goodwill were reversed on consolidation.  The Vendors of PacMoz have agreed 
in the purchase agreement to write-off the loans upon completion of the transaction including the exercise of the 
option to purchase the balance of 40% of PacMoz and the conversion of the Performance Shares by the end of two 
years.  The loans will not be called in PacMoz during this time and no interest is payable.  In the event that the 
option is not exercised the board believes that it will be due to the expected growth of PacMoz not being achieved 
and in this event, it is unlikely that the investment in PacMoz will be maintained, and the Consolidated Entity will 
never be liable for the loans.  

PacMoz Minority Acquisition 

During the year, the Company acquired the 40% minority stake in PacMoz from the PacMoz Director and General 
Manager Ms Hanlie Lloyd. The purchase consideration for the acquisition included a contingent liability for the issue 
of  5,000,000  shares  subject  to  Ms  Lloyd  successfully  completing  the  re-organisation  of  the  entity  over  the 
subsequent twelve month period.  As at the date of this report no shares had been issued to Ms Lloyd. 

25. 

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE REPORTING DATE 

There has not arisen since the end of the financial year any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual 
nature likely, in the opinion of the Directors of the Consolidated Entity to affect substantially the operations of the 
Consolidated Entity, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Consolidated Entity in subsequent 
financial years except for the following: 

  On 23 July 2018, the Company announced that it had expanded its network of potential Mozambican job seekers 

by more than 100,000 people through database agreements with local companies.
