CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE 

Dear Shareholders, 

It is my pleasure to deliver Rey’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2020. We continually focus on 
maximising the value of our coal and oil and  gas exploration projects in the Canning Basin in Western 
Australia during the year. 

During the first  half of  the financial year ended 30 June  2020, we  were  positively  seeking appropriate 
method to achieve reproduction in a low production costs from West Kora-1 in L15 as well as reviewing 
its commercial value especially after termination of the farmout agreement with Doriemus in Feb 2020 
due to its failing to spend agreed expenditure in the project. We also completed most of the site cleaning 
work for West Kora except for one tank with oil and oily water. All other development works planned for 
EP487 and R1 were also in progress. 

However, due to COVID-19 Rey slowed down the progress of all planned works since early 2020 aiming at 
keeping all staff in good healthy standing and to help stopping community spreading of the virus.  

During the year, as a strategical consideration of maintaining good relationships with traditional owners 
and focusing on current proposed mining area development, we surrendered one tenement of Duchess 
Paradise Project which is not included in the current Mining Lease Application. The surrender will have no 
effect to the completed stage 1 Definitive Feasibility Study update. 

I  would  like  to  thank  all  shareholders  for  their  support  and  understanding.  I  also  thank  our  staff  and 
management team for their work over the past year and look forward to the next exciting year. 

Min Yang 
Non-executive Chairman

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK 

OIL & GAS 

1. Canning Basin – the Fitzroy Blocks (EP457 and EP458) 

1.1 Background

F

Equity interests in the Fitzroy Blocks (EP457 and EP458) are currently: 

Rey (Rey Oil & Gas Pty Ltd) 
Buru 

40% 
60% 

(including 6.66% free carried to production) 
(Operator) 

Rey holds a total 40% participating interest in the two blocks, but only has a 33.336% funding obligation 
until commercial production. This is due to a Funding Agreement whereby Buru Energy Ltd free carries 
6.664% of Rey's 40% participating interest. 

The Fitzroy Blocks (comprising a combined area in excess of 5,000 kilometres
the southern flank of the Fitzroy Graben. The Fitzroy Blocks straddle three major trends: 

2
) are located over parts of 

• 
• 
• 

the Ungani conventional oil trend (“Ungani Trend”); 
the Laurel Basin-Centred Gas Accumulation, conventional and unconventional gas; and 
the Goldwyer oil and gas unconventional shale. 

The  Ungani  Trend  includes  identified  leads  and  prospects  in  an  area  of  prospectivity  of  at  least  120 
kilometres by  40 kilometres (over one million acres or 4,800 kilometre2). This extends diagonally, north-
west to south-east, across the Fitzroy Blocks.  The conventional dolomite reservoir oil discovery by Buru in 
2011 at Ungani (located 15 kilometres north-west of  EP457) on  the  trend  running  through  the  Fitzroy 
Blocks is a significant regional discovery event. Commercial production was established by Buru at Ungani 
in mid-2015. 

Although  Prospective  (recoverable)  Resources  of  the  Laurel  Formation  within  the  Fitzroy  Blocks  have 
not  been assessed by drilling to date, the formation extends across part of the Fitzroy Blocks. A wet gas 
accumulation  has  been  identified  immediately  east  of  the  Fitzroy  Blocks  which  has  the  characteristics 
of  a  Basin-Centred Gas Accumulation. 

The  Goldwyer  Shale  Formation  is  characterised  as  a  thick,  regionally  extensive  organic  rich  “Bakken” 
shale  analogue. The play type is regarded as highly prospective and clearly extends across part of the 
Fitzroy Blocks,  although is believed to be at considerable depth. 

1.2 Work program during the year 

After  the  left  of  Frack  Ban,  the  government  announced  in  July  2019  that  the  implementation  of 
Government’s response to the Independent Scientific Panel Inquiry into Hydraulic Fracture Stimulation in 
Western Australia has commenced and is continuing and will have decisions be made by end of 2020. The 
operator, Buru Energy, lodged the  12 months suspension and extension application to  Department  of 
Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (“DMIRS”) on 17 March 2020 for EP457 and EP458 in consideration 
of the uncertainty of implementation in future. The application was approved on 19 April 2020. 

During  the  year,  Buru  discussed  a  new  budget  with  Rey  to  cover  the  proposed  500km  2D  seismic 
reprocessing and general geology studies. The new budget has been approved by Rey. 

Rey also build a new strategic relationship with Buru for the farmout of future drilling and seismic work in 
Fitzroy Block. However, the farmout progress was delayed due to the current health crisis.

2. Canning Basin - the Derby Block (EP487) 

2.1 Background 

The Derby Block (EP487) is a large petroleum exploration permit of approximately 5,000 kilometre2. It 
occurs  to  the  north-west  of  Rey’s  interests  in  the  Fitzroy  Blocks.  The  Derby  Block  is  considered  to  be 
predominantly a Wet Laurel Basin Centred Gas play (“BCG”) which is regionally extensive throughout the 
Canning  Basin  and  has  been  the  subject of exploration  in  the  Canning  Basin  by  other  parties  in 2015, 
resulting in encouraging flow tests by Buru Energy at Valhalla and Asgard (please refer various BRU ASX 
releases including releases dated 20 January 2016 and 18 April 2016). 

Rey is holding 100% of the equity interest in the Derby Block through the following subsidiaries: 

Rey Lennard Shelf Pty Ltd 

Rey Derby Block Pty Ltd 

50% 

50% 

2.2 Work program during the year 

Following the letter  received from DMIRS about  suggestion  of EP487 commitment work changes on 9 
August 2019, a formal 12-month suspension and extension application was lodged to DMIRS in September 
2019 to reflect the suggestions. On 13 November 2019, an approval letter was received to suspend and 
extend the current permit year to December 2020. 

During the financial year, Rey is preparing the pre-drilling work for the commitment well. However, due 
to the travel ban caused by COVID-19, the preparation was delayed and Rey expects the drilling work will 
not be completed before the due date. Therefore, a notice letter regarding COVID-19 impact on drilling 
has  been  prepared  in  July  2020  and  submitted  to  DMIRS.  The  impact  should  meet  the  force  majeure 
ground for permit suspension and extension and Rey prepares to lodge a formal application in September 
2020. 

3. Lennard Shelf Blocks – EP104, R1 and L15 

3.1 Background 

Rey holds 100% interest in the Lennard Shelf Blocks which comprises EP104, a Retention Lease (R1) and 
one Production License (L15). The Lennard Shelf Blocks are situated north of Rey’s existing interests in the 
Canning Basin petroleum exploration license EP487 and covering a total area of approximately 1,145 km2 
and considered prospective for conventional oil and tight gas. 

3.2 Work Program during the year 

In  February  2020,  Rey terminated  the  Farmout  Agreement with Doriemus  for L15  due  to  its  failing  to 
spend the agreed expenditure in West Kora-1. Rey is positively seeking appropriate method to achieve 
the reproduction from West Kora-1 with low production costs. However, this has been delayed due to the 
current pandemic issue. 

In  October  2019,  a  work  variation  and  suspension  application  was  lodged  with  DMIRS  to  change  the 
committed geochemical survey from cover the whole area with large distance of each sampling point to 
reasonable density that focus on the identified Anderson trap. The application was approved by DMIRS 
on 23 June 2020. The work was completed on 22 August 2020. The sampling will be delivered to laboratory 
for analysis soon. Rey also completed a geotechnical study and engineering study for the Point Tornment-
1 in R1. A simulation and commercial study is planned to be carried out very soon to value the contingency 
gas resources in Point Tornment-1 before due date in October 2020.

Rey lodged a formal suspension and extension letter to DMIRS for EP104 to reflect their commitment 
work revision suggestions on 9 August 2019. The application was approved on 13 November 2019 that no 
works is required in permit year 3 and year 5.

The Duchess Paradise Coal Project (“Duchess Paradise Project”) is a proposed bituminous thermal coal 
operation  of  up  to  2.5  million  tonnes  per  annum  in  the  Canning  Basin,  north  Western  Australia.    A 
Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) of the Project was completed in June 2011. 

After  about  one  year  negotiation,  Rey  entered  into  an  Access  Deed  with  Hancock  Prospecting  on  8 
November 2019 for the Mining Licence Application. With the execution of the Access Deed, all objectors 
of the Mining Lease Application have been removed. An official notice letter has been sent to Warden’s 
Court and this is under assessment by Karratha Mining Registrar for recommendation. Rey also have been 
contacted by DMIRS in February 2020 to follow up the negotiation with Native Tile. By the date of this 
annual report, Rey has re-started the negotiation process with Nyikina Mangala people. 

During the reporting period, Rey surrendered one tenement, E04/1386, of Duchess Paradise Project in 
June 2020. The surrender will provide Rey more flexibility to negotiate a heritage protection agreement 
with Native title as well as allow Rey to focus more on the development within Mining Licence Application 
area. E04/1386 located at south east corner of M04/453 application with total area of 16.27km2. Minor 
of current inferred resources of Duchess Paradise Project extended in to this tenement. 

CORPORATE 

On 17 July 2019, the Company entered into a third loan agreement with Wanyan Liu (“Liu”), pursuant to 
which a further loan facility of up to $3 million (“Third Liu Loan) has been granted by Liu. The Third Liu 
Loan will mature on 31 December 2021 with interest accruing at the rate of 12% per annum. 

On 31 December 2019, the Company agreed with ASF Group Limited (“ASF”) to reduce the facility amount 
for the $3.8 million loan facility (“ASF Loan”) to $2 million and to extend the maturity date of the ASF Loan 
to 31 March 2020. The maturity date of the ASF Loan was further extended to 31 October 2021 prior to 
the end of the financial year. 

The Company also announced on 25 June 2020 that Liu agreed to increase the second loan facility granted 
in April 2019 from $3 million to $5 million (“Second Liu Loan”) and to extend the maturity date of the 
Second Liu Loan from 31 December 2020 to 31 October 2021. 

As at the balance sheet date, the Company had a total of $3.74 million remaining loan facilities available 
for draw down, which represents $3.28 million available under Second Liu Loan and Third Liu Loan and 
$0.46 million available under ASF Loan. 

Subsequent after the financial year end on 8 July 2020, the Company announced the extension of the on-
market buyback program for a further 12 months from 23 July 2020. During the year ended 30 June 2020, 
a total of 28,000 shares were bought back at a cost of $7,880.

ANNUAL RESERVES AND RESOURCES STATEMENT 

Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Comparison 
The Company reviews its coal Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves at least annually in accordance with ASX 
Listing Rule 5.21.  The date of reporting is 30 June each year to coincide with the release of the Company’s Annual 
Report.  If there are any material changes to its coal Mineral Resources and/or Ore Reserves over the course 
of the year, the Company is required to promptly report these changes as they occur. 

Rey surrendered the tenement of E04/1386 during the reporting period which may affect the inferred 
JORC resources of Duchess Paradise P1-seam that was first reported to ASX on 28 October 2014 (at which 
time the Mineral Resources were updated in accordance with JORC 2012 and found not to have materially 
changed since reported in accordance with JORC 2004 on 6 April 2011 and 6 June 2011 respectively). The 
Company  is  reviewing  the  effects  on  surrendered  tenement  to  JORC  resources  with  a  third  party.  An 
updated  JORC  resources  in  accordance  with  JORC  2012  is  expected  to  be  reported  to  ASX  once  the 
assessment work is completed.  

As announced on 20 September 2017, the Company withdrew its Ore Reserves for the Duchess Paradise 
P1-seam, as first reported in 2011. During the year the Company continued to progress a review with a 
focus on updating the economic and financial model as well as consider the effects on the surrendered 
tenement.  

As a result, the Company is not in a position to report the outcome of its annual review of Ore Resources 
and Reserves in this Annual Report.   

Oil and Gas Resources and Reserves 
The Company reviews its Oil and Gas Reserves and Contingent Resources at least annually in accordance with 
ASX Listing Rule 5.39 and 5.40.  The date of reporting is 30 June each year to coincide with the release of its Annual 
Report.  If there are any material changes to its Oil and Gas Reserves and Contingent Resources over the course 
of the year, the Company is required to promptly report these changes as they occur.  

EP487 (Derby Block) 
An estimate of the gross Prospective Potential Recoverable Resource estimate (Tcf gas recoverable) of 
the BCG play in the Derby Block (onshore portion) was provided by independent consultant 3D Geo in 
June 2017. The Company’s 100% interest in these Prospective Potential Recoverable Resources (unrisked, 
probabilistic estimate) of the Derby Block BCG play is provided in Table 2 below.

Prospective Resources are the estimated quantities of petroleum that may be potentially recovered by the 
application of a future development project and relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates 
have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration, appraisal and 
evaluation  is  required  to  determine  the  existence  of  a  significant  quantity  of  potentially  moveable 
hydrocarbons. 

In August 2020, Rey reviewed the resources of EP487 with a third party consultant, 3D Geo. The results 
showed that no adjustment is required to the resources of EP487 initially released in June 2017. 

L15 
A  review  of  Rey’s  oil  Reserves  and  contingent  Resources  for  the  West  Kora  Oilfield  in  L15  and  Point 
Torment Gas Discovery in R1 was conducted by Rey in August 2020. The review showed no changes are 
required. Detailed Resources of R1 and Reserves of West Kora Oilfield in L15 and and Point Torment Gas 
Discovery in R1 are listed in Table 3 below:

6.    REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (continued) 

6.1 Principles of compensation (continued) 
Remuneration policy 
The successful performance of the Company is dependent on the quality and performance of Directors 
and  executives,  so  the  focus  of  the  remuneration  policy  is  to  attract,  retain  and  motivate  highly 
competent people to these roles. 

Four broad principles govern the remuneration strategy of the Company:   

1.  To  set  demanding  levels  of  performance  for  KMP  and  to  align  their  remuneration  with  the 

achievement of clearly defined targets. 

2.  To provide market competitive remuneration and conditions in the current market for high quality 

Directors and executives. 

3.  To align remuneration with the creation of shareholder value and the achievement of Company 

strategy, objectives and performance. 

4.  To  be  able  to  differentiate  reward  based  on  performance,  in  particular  acknowledging  the 

contribution of outstanding performers. 

The  Company  seeks  to  provide  fixed  remuneration  at  the  median  level  of  the  markets  in  which  it 
competes for talent, and to provide the opportunity for a higher than median level of variable reward 
for those individuals who make an outstanding contribution to the success of the business. 

The Board is responsible for matters relating to the remuneration of the Directors, senior executives 
and employees of the Company, including making recommendations in relation to the remuneration 
framework of the Company and the fees and remuneration paid to Directors and executives. 

The Board seeks independent remuneration advice from time to time, and refers to relevant market 
survey data for the purposes of external comparison. Further details have been included in  section 
6.5. 

Hedging policy 
The  Company’s  Securities  Trading  Policy  prohibits  all  Directors  and  employees  from  entering  into 
arrangements to protect the value of unvested Long Term Incentive (“LTI”) awards.  The prohibition 
includes entering into contracts to hedge their exposure to unvested share rights and options awarded 
as part of their remuneration package.

6.  REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (continued) 

6.1 Principles of compensation (continued) 
Executive remuneration components  
Executive  remuneration  is  structured  so  that  it  supports  the  key  remuneration  principles  outlined 
above,  and  is  intended  to  motivate  executives  towards  achievement  of  the  annual  objectives  and 
longer term success of the Company.  A Total Fixed Remuneration (“TFR”) is paid which considers 
external  market  comparisons  and  individual  performance.    Performance  linked  compensation  is 
available through the short term and long term incentive plans outlined below. 

Fixed remuneration 
Executives receive an annualised TFR from which they must have deducted statutory superannuation.  
They may elect to salary sacrifice further superannuation contributions and other benefits such as a 
motor vehicle.  Accommodation assistance and medical insurance may be  provided for employees 
from overseas or interstate where it is necessary to be able to attract key talent.  A review of TFR is 
undertaken each year and reflects market movements and individual performance. 

Short term incentive 
The objective of the short term incentive (“STI”) plan is to align the achievement of the Company’s 
annual targets with the performance of those executives who have key responsibility for achieving 
those targets.  

Long term incentive 
Executives  are  eligible  to  participate  in  the  Rey  Resources  Limited  Executive  Incentive  Rights  Plan 
(“EIRP”),  which  was  first  adopted  by  shareholders  on  23  November  2011  and  most  recently  re-
approved  at  the  Company’s  2018  Annual  General  Meeting.  The  EIRP  aligns  the  reward  of  the 
participants with the long term creation of shareholder value. 

The  EIRP  enables  participants  to  be  granted  rights  to  acquire  shares  subject  to  the  satisfaction  of 
certain  vesting  conditions  which  will  be  determined  by  the  Board  from  time  to  time.  Subject  to 
adjustments for any bonus issues of shares and capital reorganisations, one share will be issued on 
the exercise of each right which vests or becomes exercisable.  No amount is payable by employees in 
respect of the grant or exercise of rights.   

The EIRP has been designed to deliver benefits based on the value of shares when performance and 
service conditions are satisfied. The benefits may be provided in cash or a combination of cash and 
shares.

6.1 Principles of compensation (continued) 
Relationship between Company performance and remuneration 
The objective of the Company’s remuneration structure is to reward and incentivise the executives so 
as to ensure alignment with the interests of the shareholders. The remuneration structure also seeks 
to reward executives for their contribution in a manner that is appropriate for a company at this stage 
of its development. As outlined elsewhere in this Report, the  remuneration structure incorporates 
fixed, annual at risk and long term incentive components.   

For shareholders, the key measure of value is Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”).  Other than general 
market  conditions,  the  key  drivers  of  value  for  the  Company  and  a  summary  of  performance  are 
provided in the table following. 

At this stage in the  development of the Company, successful execution of the below drivers is the 
mechanism through which shareholder wealth will be created. 

The  only  relevant  financial  measure  at  this  point  is  the  Rey  share  price  for  which  the  history  is 
presented below. Absolute TSR performance is the basis for long term incentive awards under the 
EIRP.

Non-Executive Director fees 
The policy on Non-Executive Director (“NED”) fees is to apply a remuneration framework in order to 
attract and retain highly capable NEDs and also in accordance with governance best practice.  A fixed 
annual fee is paid in cash.   

An aggregate fee limit for NED fees of $400,000 was approved at the 2010 Annual General Meeting 
and no change is currently proposed. 

NED fees comprise a fixed annual fee, with no participation in any performance rights plan. 

The  original  annual  cash  fees  payable  to  each  NED  were  as  follows:  Ms  Yang  $48,000  per  annum 
payable to her related entity, Luxe Hill Limited; Mr Baker $60,000 per annum payable to his related 
entity,  Gold  Star  Industry  Ltd;  Mr  Zhang  $25,000  per  annum  payable  to  his  related  entity,  AMI 
Corporation Pty Ltd. From April 2020, fees paid to each NED were reduced by 50% of the original fees.

permit  EP104,  retention  licence  R1  and  production  licence  L15.    Rey  also  holds  100%  interests  in 
Duchess Paradise Coal Project. 

8.  RESULTS FOR THE YEAR AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

During the year, Rey Resources continued its strategy of exploring and developing energy resources 
in Western Australia’s Canning Basin, with particular focus on its oil and gas assets.  

Oil and Gas 

Fitzroy Blocks (EP457 & EP458) 

After  the  left  of  Frack  Ban,  the  government  announced  in  July  2019  that  the  implementation  of 
Government’s  response  to  the  Independent  Scientific  Panel  Inquiry  into  Hydraulic  Fracture 
Stimulation in Western Australia has commenced and is continuing and will have decisions be made 
by  end  of  2020.  The  operator,  Buru  Energy,  lodged  the  12  months  suspension  and  extension 
application to DMIRS on 17 March 2020 for EP457 and EP458 in consideration of the uncertainty of 
implementation in future. The application was approved on 19 April 2020. 

During  the  year,  Buru  discussed  a  new  budget  with  Rey  to  cover  the  proposed  500km  2D  seismic 
reprocessing and general geology studies. The new budget has been approved by Rey. 

Rey is also building a new strategic relationship with Buru for the farmout of future drilling and seismic 
work in the Fitzroy Block. However, the farmout progress was delayed due to the current pandemic 
crisis. 

Derby Block (EP487) 

Following the letter received from DMIRS about suggestion of EP487 commitment work changes on 9 
August  2019,  a  formal  12-month  suspension  and  extension  application  was  lodged  to  DMIRS  in 
September 2019 to reflect the suggestions. On 13 November 2019, an approval letter was received to 
suspend and extend the current permit year to December 2020. 

During the financial year, Rey is preparing the pre-drilling work for the commitment well. However, 
due to the travel ban caused by COVID-19, the preparation was delayed and Rey expects the drilling 
work will not be completed before the due date. Therefore, a notice letter regarding COVID-19 impact 
on drilling has been prepared in July 2020 and submitted to DMIRS. The impact should meet the force 
majeure ground for permit suspension and extension and Rey prepares to lodge a formal application 
in September 2020.

8.  RESULTS FOR THE YEAR AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued) 

Lennard Shelf Blocks (EP104, R1, L15) 

In February 2020, Rey terminated the Farmout Agreement with Doriemus for L15 due to its failing to 
spend the agreed expenditure in West Kora-1. Rey is positively seeking appropriate method to achieve 
the reproduction from West Kora-1 with low production costs. However, this has been delayed due to 
the current pandemic issue. 

In October 2019, a work variation and suspension application was lodged with DMIRS to change the 
committed geochemical survey from cover the whole area with large distance of each sampling point 
to reasonable density that focus on the identified Anderson trap. The application was approved by 
DMIRS on 23 June 2020. The work was completed on 22 August 2020. The sampling will be delivered 
to laboratory for analysis soon. Rey also completed a geotechnical study and engineering study for the 
Point Tornment-1 in R1. A simulation and commercial study is planned to be carried out very soon to 
value the contingency gas resources in Point Tornment-1 before due date in October 2020.  

Rey lodged a formal suspension and extension letter to DMIRS for EP104 to reflect their commitment 
work revision suggestions on 9 August 2019. The application was approved on 13 November 2019 that 
no works is required in permit year 3 and year 5. 

Coal 

Duchess Paradise Project 

After about one year of negotiations, Rey entered into an Access Deed with Hancock Prospecting on 
8  November  2019  for  the  Mining  Licence  Application.  With  the  execution  of  the  Access  Deed,  all 
objectors of the Mining Lease Application have been removed. An official notice letter has been sent 
to Warden’s Court and this is under assessment by Karratha Mining Registrar for recommendation. 
Rey also have been contacted by DMIRS in February 2020 to follow up the negotiation with Native 
Tile. By the date of this annual report, Rey has re-started the negotiation process with Nyikina Mangala 
people. 

During the reporting period, Rey surrendered one tenement, E04/1386, of Duchess Paradise Project 
in June 2020. The surrender provides Rey more flexibility to negotiate a heritage protection agreement 
with  native  title  as  well  as  allow  Rey  to  focus  more  on  the  development  within  Mining  Licence 
Application area. E04/1386 located at  south east corner of M04/453 application with total area of 
16.27km2. Minor of inferred resources of Duchess Paradise Project extended in to this tenement. 

Corporate 

On 17 July 2019, the Company entered into a third loan agreement with Wanyan Liu (“Liu”), pursuant 
to which a further loan facility of up to $3 million (“Third Liu Loan) has been granted by Liu. The Third 
Liu Loan will mature on 31 December 2021 with interest accruing at the rate of 12% per annum. 

On 31 December 2019, the Company agreed with ASF Group Limited (“ASF”) to reduce the facility 
amount for the $3.8 million loan facility (“ASF Loan”) to $2 million and to extend the maturity date of 
the ASF Loan to 31 March 2020. The maturity date of the ASF Loan was further extended to 31 October 
2021 prior to the end of the financial year.

8.  RESULTS FOR THE YEAR AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued) 

The Company also announced on 25 June 2020 that Liu agreed to increase the second loan facility 
granted in April 2019 from $3 million to $5 million (“Second Liu Loan”) and to extend the maturity 
date of the Second Liu Loan from 31 December 2020 to 31 October 2021. 

As  at  the  balance  sheet  date,  the  Company  had  a  total  of  $3.74  million  remaining  loan  facilities 
available for draw down, which represents $3.28 million available under Second Liu Loan and Third 
Liu Loan and $0.46 million available under ASF Loan. 

Subsequent after the financial year end on 8 July 2020, the Company announced the extension of the 
on-market buyback program for a further 12 months from 23 July 2020. During the year ended 30 
June 2020, a total of 28,000 shares were bought back at a cost of $7,880.

entities it controlled (the “Group”) after income tax for the year ended 30 June 2020 was $1,880,000, 
a decrease of approximately 79% compared with the loss of $8,923,000 for the last year.

and Liu. 

• 
•

assessments, exploration rehabilitation and use of ground water. In particular, some operations are 
required to be licensed to conduct certain activities under the environmental protection legislation in 
the state in which they operate and such licences include requirements specific to the subject site.

Notes to the consolidated financial report 
For the year ended 30 June 2020 

1. 

REPORTING ENTITY 

Rey  Resources  Limited  (the  “Company”)  is  a  company  domiciled  in  Australia.  The  address  of  the 
Company’s registered office is Suite 2, 3B Macquarie Street, Sydney NSW 2000. The consolidated financial 
statements of the Company as at and for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 comprise the Company 
and its subsidiaries (together referred to as “Rey Resources” or the “Group”). The Group is a for-profit 
entity and is primarily involved in mineral and oil and gas exploration and project evaluation. 

2. 

BASIS OF PREPARATION 

Statement of compliance 

(a) 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  are  general  purpose  financial  statements  which  have  been 
prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Interpretations) 
adopted  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  (“AASB”),  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  The 
consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and 
interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The accounting policies 
detailed below have been consistently applied to all of the years presented unless otherwise stated. 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  were  authorised  for  issue  by  the  Board  of  Directors  on  28 
September 2020.  

The outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was declared as a ‘Global Pandemic’ by the World 
Health Organisation on 11 March 2020, developments throughout 2020 has caused great uncertainty for 
the oil, gas and coal industry and the global and Australian economy. This uncertainty has created risks and 
conditions that the Group has not encountered before. As a result, there has been a continual assessment 
of the impacts of COVID-19 on the financial statements arising from this major global risk. 

Going concern 

(b) 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates 
the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities 
in the ordinary course of business.  

For the year ended 30 June 2020 the Group incurred a loss after tax of $1,880,000 and incurred operating 
and investing cash outflows of $1,305,000. As at 30 June 2020 the Group had cash of $175,000, available 
standby loan facilities from ASF Group Limited of $460,000 and Wanyan Liu of $3,280,000, a net working 
capital deficiency of $646,000 and net assets of $25,586,000 as at 30 June 2020. 

The Group has prepared a cashflow forecast for the period to 30 September 2021. The cashflow forecast 
reflects: 

•  The need to raise additional funding during the forecast period;  
•  That ASF Group Limited and Wanyan Liu will not call their loans owing from the Group in advance 

of the loan maturity date; and 

•  The need to defer or farm out the Group’s share of certain petroleum interests to meet committed 

and forecast expenditures.

Rey Resources Limited 

Notes to the consolidated financial report 
For the year ended 30 June 2020 

2. 

BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued) 

Rey is pursuing funding alternatives in the form of debt and equity, including discussions with existing 
shareholders, and with third parties for farmout certain petroleum interests. 

The Directors believe that sufficient funding will be sourced, the repayment of loans extended, the loans 
will not be recalled and farm out parties will be sourced in the timeframes required and therefore the 
adoption of the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. The requirement to raise the necessary 
funding  to  meet  its  commitments  and  secure  farm  out  parties,  or  defer  expenditure,  is  a  material 
uncertainty that may cast significant doubt as to whether the Group will be able to continue as a going 
concern. 

These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on 
the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and to be able to pay its debts as and when they fall 
due, and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the 
normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the consolidated financial statements.  

Basis of measurement 

(c) 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. 

Functional and presentation currency 

(d) 
These  consolidated  financial  statements  are  presented  in  Australian  dollars,  which  is  the  Company’s 
functional currency. 

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191 dated 10 July 1998 and 
in accordance with that Class Order,  all financial information presented in Australian dollars has been 
rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise stated. 

Critical accounting estimates and judgements 

(e) 
The  Directors  evaluate  estimates  and  judgements  incorporated  into  these  consolidated  financial 
statements based on historical knowledge  and best available current information. Estimates assume a 
reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained 
both externally and within the Group. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal 
the related actual results. 

Following is a summary of the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation 
and  accounting  judgements  at  the  reporting  date  that  have  not  been  disclosed  elsewhere  in  these 
consolidated financial statements. 

(i) Exploration and evaluation expenditure 
The  application  of  the  Group's  accounting  policy  for  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  requires 
judgement in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits are likely, which may be based 
on  assumptions  about  future  events or  circumstances.  Estimates  and  assumptions may change  if  new 
information  becomes  available.  If  after  expenditure  is  capitalised  information  becomes  available 
suggesting that the recovery of expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalised is written off in the profit 
and loss in the period when the new information becomes available.

BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued) 

(ii) Impairment of assets 
The  determination  of  fair  value  and  value  in  use  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and 
assumptions about expected production and sales volumes, coal prices (considering current and historical 
prices, price trends and related factors), foreign exchange rates, coal resources and reserves, operating 
costs, closure and rehabilitation costs and future capital expenditure. These estimates and assumptions 
are subject to risk and uncertainty; hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter 
these projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of the assets. In such circumstances, some 
or all of the carrying amount of the assets may be further impaired or the impairment charge reduced 
with the impact recorded in the statement of profit or loss. 

(iii) Rehabilitation 
The  rehabilitation  provision  has  been  created  based  on  managements'  internal  estimates  and 
assumptions relating to the current economic environment, which management believes is a reasonable 
basis upon which to estimate the future liability. 

These estimates are reviewed regularly to take into account any material changes to the assumptions, 
however actual rehabilitation costs will ultimately depend upon the future market prices for the necessary 
decommissioning works and the timing of when the rehabilitation costs are incurred. Timing is dependent 
upon when the mines ceases to produce at economically viable rates, which in turn, will depend upon 
future oil and gas prices, which are inherently uncertain. 

(iv) Income taxes 
The Group is subject to income taxes in Australia. Significant judgement is required in determining the 
provision for income taxes. There are transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course 
of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group estimates its tax liabilities 
based  on  the  Group's  understanding  of  the  tax  law.  Where  the  final  tax  outcome  of  these  matters  is 
different  from  the  amounts  that  were  initially  recorded,  such  differences  will  impact  the  current  and 
deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Basis of consolidation 

(a) 
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Rey Resources Limited and its 
subsidiaries. 

Subsidiaries 

(i) 
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it 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 over  the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the 
consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which 
control ceases.  

Transactions eliminated on consolidation 

(ii) 
Intercompany  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised  gains  and  expenses  on  transactions  between 
companies of the Group are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. 

Loss of control 

(iii) 
On  the  loss  of  control,  the  Group  de-recognises  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  subsidiary,  any  non-
controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit 
arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous 
subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently that 
retained interest is accounted for as an equity accounted investee or as a financial asset depending on 
the level of influence retained. 

Joint arrangements 

(iv) 
Joint arrangements are defined as the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which 
exists  only  when  decisions  about  relevant  activities  require  unanimous  consent  of  the  parties  sharing 
control. These arrangements may be accounted for as a joint venture or a joint operation.  

A joint venture, which is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control, whereby the Group has 
rights  to  the  net  assets  of  the  arrangement,  rather  than  the  rights  to  its  assets  and  obligation  for  its 
liabilities. Interest in joint ventures is accounted for using the equity method.  

A joint operation is an arrangement in which the parties with joint control have rights to the assets and 
obligations for the liabilities relating to that arrangement. In respect of its interest in a joint operation, a 
joint operator the Group recognises its relative share of its assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. 

Foreign currency 

(b) 
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Australian dollars being the functional currencies of 
Group  entities  at  exchange  rates  at  the  dates  of  the  transactions.  Monetary  assets  and  liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the 
exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in 
profit or loss.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

(c)  Non derivative financial instruments 

Recognition and initial measurement 

(i) 
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial 
liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the 
instrument.  A  trade  receivable  without  a  significant  financing  component  is  initially  measured  at  the 
transaction price. 

Classification and subsequent measurement  

(ii) 
The Group has two types of financial assets: amortised cost and Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (“FVTPL”) 
in accordance with AASB 9. Refer Note 22 for summary of the classification of the Group’s financial assets 
and financial liabilities. 

Derecognition 

(iii) 
Financial assets 
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial 
asset  expire,  or  it  transfers  the  rights  to  receive  the  contractual  cash  flows  in  a  transaction  in  which 
substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which 
the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does 
not retain control of the financial asset. 

The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised in its statement of financial 
position, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In 
these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognised. 

Financial liabilities 
The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, 
or expire. The Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows 
of the modified liability are  substantially different,  in which case  a new financial liability based on the 
modified terms is recognised at fair value. 

Share capital 

(iv) 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary 
shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.   

(d) 

Property, plant and equipment 

Recognition and measurement 

(i) 
Items  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  measured  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and 
accumulated impairment losses.  

Cost  includes  expenditure that  is  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition of  the  asset.  The  cost  of  self-
constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable 
to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing 
the items and restoring the site on which they are located and capitalised borrowing costs. Purchased 
software  that  is  integral  to  the  functionality  of  the  related  equipment  is  capitalised  as  part  of  that 
equipment.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted 
for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. 

The  gains  and  losses  on  disposal  of  an  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  determined  by 
comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and 
are recognised net within other income/other expenses in profit or loss.  

Subsequent costs 

(ii) 
The  cost  of  replacing  a  component  of  an  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  is  recognised  in  the 
carrying  amount  of  the  item  if  it  is  probable  that  the  future  economic  benefits  embodied  within  the 
component  will flow to the  Group, and its cost  can be  measured reliably. The carrying amount of the 
replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are 
recognised in profit or loss as incurred. 

(iii)        Depreciation 
Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual 
assets are assessed and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, 
that component is depreciated separately. 

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each 
component of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter 
of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership 
by the end of the lease term.  

The estimated depreciation rates for the current and comparative years are as follows: 

Class of Fixed Asset 
Equipment 

Depreciation Rate 

   8% - 33% 

Depreciation  methods,  useful  lives  and  residual  values  are  reviewed  at  each  financial  year-end  and 
adjusted if appropriate.  

Exploration and development assets 

(e) 
Exploration,  evaluation  and  development  expenditure  incurred  is  accumulated  in  respect  of  each 
identifiable area of interest.  

At the end of each reporting period, the capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed 
for  impairment.  This  expenditure  is  only  carried  forward  to  the  extent  that  they  are  expected  to  be 
recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet 
reached  a  stage  that  permits  reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence  of  economically  recoverable 
reserves.  

An  exploration  and  evaluation  asset  is  recognised  in  relation  to  an  area  of  interest  if  the  following 
conditions are satisfied: 

(a)  The rights to tenure of the area of interest are current;

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

(b)  At least one of the following conditions is also met: 

(i) 

the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful 
development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; and  

(ii)  exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the end of the reporting 
period reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of 
economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the 
area of interest are continuing. 

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.  

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in 
which the decision to abandon the area is made.  

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of 
interest are demonstrable, the exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are 
first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining tenements or mine development assets. Then 
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 the site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences 
and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of 
plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with 
clauses of the mining permits. Such costs are determined using estimates of future costs, current legal 
requirements  and  technology  on  an  undiscounted  basis.  Any  changes  in  the  estimates  for  costs  are 
accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there may be uncertainty 
regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation.  

Impairment of assets 

(f) 
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are 
tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they 
might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised immediately 
in profit or loss for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The 
recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 

For  the  purposes  of  assessing  impairment,  assets  are  grouped  at  the  lowest  levels  for  which  there  are 
separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or 
groups of assets (cash generating units, "CGUs"). For the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, CGUs to 
which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment is tested reflects 
the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. The goodwill acquired in a 
business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to CGUs that are expected to 
benefit from the synergies of the combination.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal 
of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. 

Non-derivative financial assets 

(i) 
In assessing collective impairment the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, timing of 
recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgement as to whether current 
economic  and  credit  conditions  are  such  that  the  actual  losses  are  likely  to  be  greater  or  less  than 
suggested by historical trends.  

An  impairment  loss  in  respect  of  a  financial  asset  measured  at  amortised  cost  is  calculated  as  the 
difference  between  its  carrying  amount  and  the  present  value  of  the  estimated  future  cash  flows 
discounted  at  the  asset’s  original  effective  interest  rate.  Losses  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  and 
reflected  in  an  allowance  account  against  receivables.  Interest  on  the  impaired  asset  continues  to  be 
recognised  through  the  unwinding  of  the  discount.  When  a  subsequent  event  causes  the  amount  of 
impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.  

Employee benefits 

(g) 
Provision  is  made  for  the  Group’s  liability  for  employee  benefits  arising  from  services  rendered  by 
employees to balance sheet date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have 
been measured at the  amounts expected to be  paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-cost. 
Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated 
future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. 

Short-term employee benefits 

(i) 
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the 
related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term 
cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this 
amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. 

Share-based payment transactions 

(ii) 
The  grant  date  fair  value  of  share-based  payment  awards  granted  to  employees  is  recognised  as  an 
employee  expense,  with  a  corresponding  increase  in  equity,  over  the  period  that  the  employees 
unconditionally  become  entitled  to the  awards.   The  amount  recognised as  an  expense  is adjusted to 
reflect  the  number  of  awards  for  which  the  related  service  and  non-market  vesting  conditions  are 
expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number 
of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.  For 
share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based 
payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected 
and actual outcomes. 

Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

(h) 
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of 
GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances 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 
in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component 
of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.  

Income tax 

(i) 
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax.  Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit 
or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity 
or in other comprehensive income. 

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax 
rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect 
of  previous  years.  Current  tax  payable  also  includes  any  tax  liability  arising  from  the  declaration  of 
dividends. 

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax 
is not recognised for: 

• 

• 

temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a 
business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. 
temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and associates and jointly controlled 
entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future taxable 
temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. 

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when 
they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  if there  is  a  legally  enforceable  right  to  offset  current  tax 
liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable 
entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis 
or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. 

A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, 
to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be 
utilised.  Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is 
no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. 

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated group. As a 
consequence,  all members of the  tax-consolidated group are taxed as a single entity. The  head entity 
within  the  tax-consolidated  group  is  Rey  Resources  Limited.  Current  income  tax  expense  /  benefit, 
deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the 
tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax-
consolidated group using the ‘separate taxpayer within the group’ approach by reference to the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values 
applying under tax consolidation.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

Earnings per share 

(j)  
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares.  Basic earnings per 
share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by 
the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares 
held.  Diluted earnings per share  is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary 
shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares 
held,  for  the  effects  of  all  dilutive  potential  ordinary  shares,  which  comprise  share  options  and  share 
performance rights granted to employees. 

Segment reporting 

(k) 
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may 
earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any 
of  the  Group’s  other  components.  All  operating  results  are  reviewed  regularly  by  the  Group’s  Chief 
Operating Decision maker (CODM). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing 
performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors. 

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and 
equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill. 

Provisions 

(l) 
A  provision  is  recognised  if,  as  a  result of  a  past  event,  the  Group  has  a  present  legal or  constructive 
obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be 
required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows 
at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific 
to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. 

Other income 

(m) 
Other income primarily relates to sundry deposits and recognised on receipt in the bank account or when 
the right to receive payment is established. 

Finance income and finance costs 

(n) 
Borrowing  costs  that  are  not  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition,  construction  or  production  of  a 
qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.   

Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance cost 
depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position. 

Determination of fair values 

(o) 
Share-based payment transactions 
The fair value of the Directors’ performance rights is measured using Monte Carlo Sampling. The fair value 
of the executive rights is measured with reference to the share price at grant date. The fair value of the 
employee  share  options  are  measured  using  the  Black-Scholes  formula.    Measurement  inputs  include 
share  price  on  measurement  date,  exercise  price  of  the  instrument,  expected  volatility  (based  on 
weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), 
weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience  and general option 
holder  behaviour),  expected  dividends,  and  the  risk-free  interest  rate  (based  on  government  bonds).  
Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account 
in determining fair value.

Changes in significant accounting policies 

(p) 
(i) New and amended standards adopted by the Group 

The new standards and interpretations that are applicable for the first time for the year ended 30 June 
2020 are: 

• AASB 16 Leases 
• AASB 2017-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Long-term Interests in Associates and 
Joint Ventures; 
• Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments; and 
• AASB 2018-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Annual Improvements 2015-2017 Cycle. 

These standards, amendments and interpretations did not affect any of the amounts recognised in these 
consolidated financial statements. 

(ii) Early adoption of standards 

No  new  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  that  have  been  issued  but  are  not  yet 
effective have been applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. Such standards 
are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements on initial application. 

(iii) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 
June 2020 reporting years and have not been early adopted by the Group. 

There are no standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on 
the Group’s consolidated financial statements in the current or future reporting years and on foreseeable 
future transactions.

At 30 June 2020, the Group has tax losses arising in Australia of $83,721,067 (2019: $81,407,675) that are 
available for offset against future taxable income. The Group has not recognised a deferred tax asset in 
relation to these tax losses (other than an offset to the deferred tax liability) as realisation of the benefit 
is not regarded as probable. Additionally, the ability of the Group to utilise these tax losses will depend 
on whether the Group is determined to pass the Australian Tax Office rules of continuity of ownership 
test, or failing that, the same business test.  

Tax consolidation 

Rey  Resources  Limited  and  its  100%  owned  Australian  resident  subsidiaries  formed  a  tax-consolidated 
Group with effect from 1 July 2009. The first consolidated income tax return for the Group was filed for the 
tax year ended 30 June 2010. Rey Resources Limited is the head entity of the tax-consolidated group.

EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION EXPENDITURE (Continued) 

2.  Exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  recognised  on  EP457  and  EP458  tenements  under  joint  venture        
agreement with Buru Energy Limited. This amount includes the Group’s proportionate share of exploration assets

of  the  EP457  &  EP458  permits  from  25%  to  40%  for  a  total  cash  consideration  of  $480,000.  An  impairment  of 
$7,450,000 was made as a result of revaluation of EP457 & EP458 to their fair value. The Group utilized a third party 
valuation expert who applied the VALMIN code to determine the fair value of EP457 and EP458. 

3. Acquisition costs and the exploration and evaluation expenditure recognised on EP104, R1 and L15 which are held 
solely by the Group.

The restoration provision relates to the West Kora 1 well and disused production facilities in Production 
License L15, which was estimated based upon converting the well to a water well following confirmation 
from  the  pastoral  lease  owner  and  removing  the  tank  farm  and  restoring  the  site  back  to  its  original 
condition. 

The provision has been calculated on an assumption that management expects that the cash out flow will 
not be incurred until approximately 2029.

Joint venture agreements have been entered into with third parties. Details of joint venture agreements 
are disclosed below. These are accounted for as joint operations. 

Assets employed by these joint ventures and the Group’s expenditure in respect of them is brought to 
account  initially  as  capitalised  exploration  expenditure  (refer  note  13)  and  disclosed  distinctly  from 
capitalised exploration costs incurred on the Group’s 100% owned projects. 

Rey/Buru Joint Venture 

On  18  March  2013,  the  Company  entered  into  an  agreement  with  Buru  Energy  Limited  (“Buru”)  and 
Mitsubishi Corporation pursuant to which the Company acquired an additional 15% interest in exploration 
permits EP457 and EP458 in the Canning Basin, Western Australia. 

On 10 December 2018, the Company announced that, pursuant to a transaction entered into between 
Buru  and Diamond Resources (Barbwire) Pty Limited (“DRB”) whereby Buru will increase its interests in 
these permits from 37.5% to 60%, Rey (via its wholly owned subsidiary Rey Oil and Gas Pty Limited) has 
exercised its pre-emptive rights under the permit joint operating agreements and entered into a parallel 
agreement with DRB to increase its current interests in each of the EP457 and EP458 permits from 25% 
to 40% for a total cash consideration of $480,000. 

The current interest in the two exploration permits, known as “The Fitzroy Blocks”, are: 

Rey Oil and Gas Pty Limited 
Buru Fitzroy Pty Limited 

40%  
60%  

(of which a 6.66% interest is free carried to production) 
(Buru Energy Limited, operator) 

The  total  amount  of  the  Group’s  capitalised  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  under  this  joint 
venture agreement at the reporting date was $4,370,000 (2019: $4,134,000).

The  Board  of  Directors  has  overall  responsibility  for  the  establishment  and  oversight  of  the  risk 
management framework.   

The Group does not use any form of derivatives for speculative purposes. The Group is not at a level of 
exposure that requires the use of derivatives to hedge its exposure. 

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are liquidity risk and market risk 
which includes interest rate risk.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) 

Credit risk 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument 
fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s cash and cash equivalents, 
and trade and other receivables. 

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.  

The Group limits its exposure to credit risk in respect of cash and cash equivalents and other deposits with 
banks by only dealing with reputable banks with high credit ratings. 

In respect of trade and other receivables, the Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with 
respect to any single counter party or group of counter parties. The Group is not exposed to any significant 
credit risk as there were no trading operations during the year. 

At 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019, there was no impairment loss allowance and there were no receivables 
past due but not impaired.  

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. 
The  Group’s  approach  to  managing  liquidity  is  to  ensure,  as  far  as  possible,  that  it  will  always  have 
sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without 
incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. 

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves from funds raised in the market, 
by  continuously  monitoring  forecast  and  actual  cash  flows  and  ensuring  that  adequate  uncommitted 
funding is available and maintained.  

The following are the expected maturities of financial assets and the contractual maturities of financial 
liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements:

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) 

Currency risk 

The Group is not exposed to currency risk at the reporting date  because the Group holds no financial 
assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currency. 

Interest rate risk 

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk which is the risk that a financial instrument’s fair value or future 
cash  flows  will  fluctuate  as  a  result  of  changes  in  market  interest  rates  on  interest-bearing  financial 
instruments. 

At the reporting date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets exposed to interest rate risk.

Variable rate instruments 
Cash and cash equivalents

2019

At the reporting date, the Group had a total of $10.5 million term loan facilities from shareholders. Due 
to the fixed interest rate of the loans, the Group is not exposed to interest rate fluctuations.  

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments 
A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased or decreased 
profit or loss by $0 (2019: $374). 

Fair values 

The Group's share investment measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period on a recurring 
basis and categorised into Level 1 fair value hierarchy as defined in AASB 13 Fair value measurement. The 
fair value of the share investment is measured using unadjusted quote price on the Australian Securities 
Exchange.  

During the year ended 30 June  2019  and 20, there were no transfers  between Level 1 and Level 2 or 
transfer into or out of Level 3.  

Except for the share investment, the carrying amounts of other financial assets and financial liabilities are 
assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

TO THE MEMBERS OF REY RESOURCES LIMITED 

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Opinion 

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Rey Resources Limited (the “Company”) and its 
subsidiaries (the “Group”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, 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 consolidated 
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.  

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group are in accordance with the 
Corporations Act 2001, including:  

(a)  giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance 

for the year then ended; and  

l

(b)  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 auditor independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & 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 consolidated financial statements in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical 
responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.  

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern 

We draw attention to Note 2(b) in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Group incurred a 
net loss of $1,880,000 and had operating and investing cash outflows totalling $1,305,000 for the year ended 30 
June 2020. The Group’s current liabilities exceeded current assets by $646,000 as at 30 June 2020. As stated in 
Note 2(b), these conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2(b), indicate that a material uncertainty 
exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not 
modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters  

Take the lead 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of 
the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our 
audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not 
provide a separate opinion on these matters.  

Key Audit Matter 

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure  
(Note 13) 

As at 30 June 2020, the Group has $36 million 
exploration and evaluation expenditure (E&E 
Expenditure) capitalised as assets.  

The E&E Expenditure must be assessed for 
impairment when facts and circumstances suggest 
that the carrying amount of an exploration and 
evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable 
amount in accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for 
and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. 

E&E Expenditure was a key audit matter due to the 
size of the balances, being 99% of the Group’s total 
assets. And the level of judgement required to be 
applied to prepare the impairment assessment.

How the matter was addressed during the audit 

Our audit procedures included: 

  Evaluating the Group’s accounting policy to 

recognise E&E Expenditure using the criteria in the 
accounting standard AASB 6 Exploration for and 
Evaluation of Mineral Resources; 

  Reviewing the positon paper, prepared by 

management, to identify if any impairment indicators 
have been identified for the E&E Expenditure and 
whether the carrying value is appropriate; 
  Assessing independently if there are facts, 

circumstances or impairment indicators which 
suggest that the carrying amount of the Group’s E&E 
Expenditure may exceed its recoverable amount in 
accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and 
Evaluation of Mineral Resources; 

  Considering whether the Group’s right to explore in 
the relevant exploration areas is valid. This included 
obtaining and assessing relevant documentation 
such as contracts and legal documents on the 
Group’s rights to explore; 

  Considering the Group’s intention to continue to 

carry out exploration and evaluation activity in the 
relevant exploration area which included assessment 
of the Group’s cash-flow forecasts and the strategy 
of the Group; 

  We obtained project and corporate budgets and 

evaluate the Group’s ability to fund continued E&E 
activities and its capacity to secure additional funding 
when necessary; 

  We tested the Group’s additions to E&E Expenditure 
for the year by evaluating a statistical sample of 
recorded expenditure for consistency to underlying 
records, the capitalisation requirements of the 
accounting standard; 

  Testing the mathematical accuracy of the cash flow 

models used in the impairment test; 

  Assessing the discount rates, commodity prices and 
other key assumptions to internal and external data, 
with involvement from our valuation specialists; and  
  Evaluating the adequacy of the related disclosures in 
the financial statements including those made with 
respect to judgements and estimates.

the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the consolidated financial 
statements and our auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and accordingly we do 
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other 
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated 
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other 
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.  

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Consolidated Financial Statements  

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give 
a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for 
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial 
statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the 
Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, 
or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole 
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our 
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 
accordance with 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 the consolidated 
financial statements.  

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and 
maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to 
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is 
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement 
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, 
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are 

Take the lead 

appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 
Group’s internal control.  

  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and 

related disclosures made by the directors.  

  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on 
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast 
significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material 
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the 
consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our 
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future 
events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.  

  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the 
disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and 
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.  

  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business 

activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible 
for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit 
opinion.  

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and 
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.  

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding 
independence, and to communicate with them, all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought 
to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.  

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in 
the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We 
describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter 
or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report 
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest 
benefits of such communication.
