CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Dear Shareholders,
It is my pleasure to deliver Rey’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023. We kept our target to
bring maximum value to shareholders and contribute to the energy development of the Company by
focusing on our energy, oil and gas exploration projects in Canning Basin in WA during this financial year.
During the year, we continued our activities on the engineering and geology evaluation over Lennard Shelf
Project which confirmed the hydrocarbon potential and enlarged the prospective resources. The EP104
renewal has also been approved by the DMIRS in March 2023. The renewal maintains Rey’s interests in
Canning Basin as well as the potential large gas resource assets.
We also proceeded with the exploration works on EP487, the 3D seismic. The project progress is well
advanced with 2 contractor quotations under assessment by Rey. The environmental plan work has also
been started and we expect an onsite inspection in Q3 2023. We also have been in proactive contact with
the traditional owners and landowners for the land access and heritage clearance. The seismic survey is
expected to be conducted before end of 2024.
Rey is also committed to the development of gas discovery in R1 through Point Torment-1 well. The
sidetrack drilling has also been prepared to be completed in Q3 2024. The sidetrack drilling will focus on
the gas bearing zone founded in Point Torment-1. A short-term flow testing will also be proposed after
the drilling.
I would like to thank all our shareholders and stakeholders for their support and understanding through
this year. I also want to thank our staff and management team for their work over the past year and look
forward to another 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
Equity interests in the Fitzroy Blocks (EP457 and EP458) are currently:
Rey (Rey Oil & Gas Pty Ltd)
Buru
40%
60%
(including 6.664% free carried to production)
(Operator)
The Fitzroy Blocks are located in the Canning Basin in the northwest of Western Australia (refer Figure 1

Figure 1: The three major prospective trends relative to Fitzroy Blocks EP457 and EP458 and Derby Block EP487.
1.2 Work program during the year
An Operation Committee Meeting was held between the Joint Venture partners during the report period
to update the understanding of regional geology and present the proposed 3D seismic survey over Rafael
prospect in EP487. After reviewing the work program, Rey chose not to participate in the project in
considering its strategy that focus on a wider development scope over the whole permits. In June 2023,
Rey received a solo risk notice according to terms of JOA from Buru for the proposed Rafael 3D seismic
survey.

2. Canning Basin - the Derby Block (EP487)
2.1 Background
The Derby Block (EP487) is a large petroleum exploration permit of approximately 5,000 km2. 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
(refer to Figure 2 below) 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
Rey is actively planning the committed large scale 3D Seismic survey over Butler prospect during the year.
Basic seismic design has been completed with plans to cover East Yeeda prospect over south-east part of
the permit. The environmental plan works has also been started that aiming to have the onsite survey
before rain season in 2023. Three quotations from seismic contractors have also been received which are
under consideration by the management. Other works include stakeholder contact, heritage survey and
land access discussion will be conducted in the new financial year.

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 (refer Figure 3) petroleum exploration license EP487 and covering a total area of
approximately 1,000 km2 and considered prospective for conventional oil and tight gas. Rey was granted
the R1 term 3 renewal in August 2022 for a 5 years period.
Figure 3: Location of Lennard Shelf Blocks
3.2 Work Program during the year
During the last 12 months, Rey was focused on the proposed sidetrack drilling planning over Point
Torment-1, new well drilling concept and P&A study over R1 area. A third party consultant has been
engaged for all the engineering design work. The target of the sidetract drilling is the gas bearing zone
identified during drilling of Point Torment-1. A short term flow testing will be carried out after the
sidetrack drilling program. This work program needs to be completed before August 2024 and Rey
commits to complete in Q3 2024.
Rey was also granted the renewal of EP104 in April 2023 for a new 5 years term, 50% permit area has
been relinquished as required by the Act. The renewal work program includes new seismic and a well in
the region at last permit year.

4. Surat Gas Project
Surat Gas Project was invested by the Company since Dec 2020 through Southernpec (Australia) Pty Ltd
(“SouthnA”).
In end of June 2022, Rey signed a Share Buy-back Deed with SouthnA pursuant to which SouthnA bought
back all the shares in SouthnA held by Rey for 7.5 million fully paid ordinary shares representing
approximately 9.9% of PZE Limited (“PZE”) as of 30 June 2022. Please refer to the announcement released
by Rey on 4 July 2022. The share buyback by SouthnA and share issue by PZE was completed in August
2022.
Surat Gas Project has good conventional resources potential and good production history, as planned with
Rey, a reproduction work program, new 3D seismic and new well drilling works has been proposed for
further development and appraisal.
During the report period, a resources assessment study was completed which confirms ~120PJ
conventional and CSG 2C resources in the permit. PZE plans to re-access to 2 suspended wells at eastern
part of the permit to explore the conventional gas potential.
COAL
The Duchess Paradise Coal Project (“DP Project”) is a proposed bituminous thermal coal operation of up
to 3 million tonnes per annum in the Canning Basin, north Western Australia. A Definitive Feasibility Study
(“DFS”) of the Project was completed in June 2011 and the first phase update of the DFS has been
completed in 2018.
Since Rey agreed to attend the face-to-face meeting proposed in April/May 2023, Rey received no further
responses from the Native Title holders. Rey will keep following up and communicating with Native Title
holders for the heritage protection agreement negotiation.
CORPORATE
During the year, Mr Yan Zhao and Mr Stanley Fu were appointed Directors of the Company with effect
from 29 November 2022 and 15 May 2023 respectively. Mr Louis Chien resigned as Alternate Director and
Mr Dachun Zhang resigned as Non-executive Director respectively on 1 October 2022 and 29 November
2022. The Board would like to thank Mr Chien and Mr Zhang for their valuable contributions during their

ANNUAL RESERVES AND RESOURCES STATEMENT
Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Comparison
During the report period, Rey continued the review of the JORC resources of Duchess Paradise P1-seam
and expects a minor impact from the surrendered tenement of E04/1386. An updated JORC resources in
accordance with JORC 2012 is expected to be reported to ASX once the assessment work is completed.
Rey also continued the re-estimation of Ore Reserves for Duchess Paradise P1 seam during the report
period.
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, Contingent and Prospective 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 initially provided by independent consultant 3D
GEO in June 2017 and annually reviewed over the following 5 years. 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.

4 MMBOE- million barrels oil equivalent. Calculated using ratio of 6.22 billion cubic feet of gas equivalent
to 1 million barrels of crude oil.
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.
During the report period, Rey reviewed the resources of EP487 in May 2023 with third party consultant,
3D GEO. The results indicated that no adjustment is required to the resources of EP487 initially released
in June 2017.

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.
19
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.
No EIRP was granted during the year.

6. REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (continued)
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 fees payable to each NED were as follows: Ms Yang $2,000 per month payable to her related
entity, Luxe Hill Limited; Mr Baker $2,500 per month payable to his related entity, Gold Star Industry
Ltd; Mr Zhang $1,041.67 per month payable to his related entity, AMI Corporation Pty Ltd; Mr Fu

Rey Resources Limited
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2023
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 2023 comprise the Company
and its subsidiaries (together referred to as “Rey” 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 also 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 27
September 2023.
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 2023 the Group incurred a loss after tax of $2,232,000 and incurred operating
and investing cash outflows of $1,305,000. As at 30 June 2023 the Group had cash of $240,000, standby
loan facilities that are available from ASF Group Limited of $2 million and Wanyan Liu of $4.88 million, a
net working capital deficit of $292,000 and net assets of $20,150,000 as at 30 June 2023. The Group also
has exploration expenditure commitments of $1,610,000 for the next financial year.
The Group has prepared a cashflow forecasts for the period to 30 September 2024. 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 within 12
months from the date of this consolidated financial statements and have provided the undertakings
not call the loans;
• The commercial decision progressing sites to different stages, management can decide to defer or
farm out the Group’s share of certain petroleum interests to meet committed and forecast
expenditures, if additional funding is needed; and

BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)
(b)
Going Concern (Continued)
• Rey will look for alternative funding arrangements in the form of debt and equity, including
discussions with existing shareholders, and with third parties for farmout certain petroleum
interests on an as needs basis.
The Directors believe the above matters will provide sufficient funding to adopt the going concern basis
of accounting as 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 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 will be realised, 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.

Rey Resources Limited
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2023

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 a third party quotation adjusted by discount and
annual inflation rates, 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/wells ceases to produce at economically viable rates, which in turn, will depend
upon future commodity 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.
(v) Investment in Surat Gas Project
As disclosed in Note 11, the Company executed a Share Buy-back Deed with Southernpec (Australia) Pty
Ltd (“SouthnA”) pursuant to which SouthnA bought back all the fully paid ordinary shares in SouthnA held
by the Company for 7.5 million fully paid ordinary shares of PZE Limited (“PZE”) which is proposed to apply
for listing on the ASX. As the Group does not have board representation and hold less than 20% of the
voting power at PZE during the year and at the balance date, the Group concluded we had no significant
influence in PZE and it is not an associate company of the Group.

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. Interests in joint ventures are 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.
Interest in unincorporated mining ventures assets and liabilities
(v)
The Group has interest in unincorporated mining ventures and represents the right to the assets and
obligation to the liabilities of these unincorporated ventures. Such interest is accounted in accordance
with respective accounting policy. The Group's interest is primarily related to exploration and evaluation
assets and is accounted for as per the policy stated in Note 2(e).

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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.
(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.
(ii)
Classification and subsequent measurement
Subsequent measurement of financial assets
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified into the following categories
upon initial recognition:
•
•
financial assets at amortised cost
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)
Classifications are determined by both:
• The entity’s business model for managing the financial asset
• The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented
within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables
which is presented within other expenses.
Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not
designated as FVPL):
•
•
they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its
contractual cash flows
the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Non derivative financial instruments (continued)
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash
equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)
Financial assets that are held within a business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and
sell’ are categorised at fair value through profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model, financial
assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for
at FVPL. All derivative financial instruments fall into this category, except for those designated and
effective as hedging instruments, for which the hedge accounting requirements apply.
Refer Note 21 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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(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.
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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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;
(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 production 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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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.
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.

(h)
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
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.
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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Income tax (continued)
(i)
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.
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 exploration and evaluation expenditure 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.

Tax losses
At 30 June 2023, the Group has tax losses arising in Australia of $91,661,882 (2022: $88,610,770) 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.

Pty Ltd (“SouthnA”) which holds significant interests in 7 conventional gas production licences in Surat Gas
Project located at Surat Basin in Queensland and Southernpec Holdings Pty Ltd, the Company would acquire
up to 75% equity interest in SouthnA in three stages of which 10% for $400,000 under the first stage was
paid in December 2020. The parties further entered into a Supplementary Terms Sheet in May 2021 for the
modification of second stage investment and the subscription of additional 10% equity interest in SouthnA
by the Company for $300,000, which was paid in May 2021.

FINANCIAL ASSETS (Continued)
In June 2022 Rey executed a share buy-back deed with SouthnA pursuant to which SouthnA bought back
all the fully paid ordinary shares in SouthnA held by the Company (including the conversion of $67,000
loan granted by the Company into additional shares in SouthnA) for 7.5 million fully paid ordinary shares
representing approximately 5.8% in the issued capital of PZE Limited (“PZE”) as of 30 June 2023. PZE is a
public company incorporated in Australia. PZE acquired the Surat Gas Project from SouthnA by the issue
of 35.5 million fully paid ordinary shares in PZE at an issue price of $0.10 per share to SouthnA.
As the Group does not have board representation and hold less than 20% of the voting power at PZE
during the year and at the balance date, the Group concluded we had no significant influence in PZE and
it is not an associate company of the Group. As a result, the investment is accounted for as financial assets
measured at fair value, for further information refer to note 21.

EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION EXPENDITURE (Continued)
1. Exploration and evaluation expenditure recognised in Duchess Paradise (coal project) is held solely by the Group.
E04/1519 (one of the tenements within the Duchess Paradise Project) expired on 19 April 2023 and is pending
approval for renewal.
2. Exploration and evaluation expenditure recognised on EP457 and EP458 tenements (Petroleum project) under
joint venture agreement with Buru Energy Limited. This amount includes the Group’s proportionate share of
exploration assets held by the respective joint venture entities. On 21 December 2020, a binding letter of agreement
had been executed between Rey, Buru and Origin pursuant to which both Buru and Rey will farm-out 20% of their
respective participating interest in each of EP457 and EP458 to Origin. On 15 April 2021, a formal farm-in agreement
was executed between the parties and 40% interests in each of the tenements were accordingly transferred to
Origin. On 13 February 2023, Rey announced that Origin has decided to withdraw from the Canning Basin and the
40% interests in each of the tenements previously assigned to Origin under the farm-in agreement will be assigned
back to Buru and Rey equally in accordance with the pre-farmin equities. Accordingly, Buru is now holding a
participating interest of 60% in each of the tenements, with Rey holding the remaining 40%.
3. Acquisition costs and the exploration and evaluation expenditure recognised on EP104, R1 and L15 (Petroleum
projects) which are held solely by the Group. EP104 has been successfully renewed for another 5 years. The expiry
date of the new 5 years term is 4 April 2028.
4. Exploration and evaluation expenditure recognised on EP487 (Petroleum project) which is held solely by the
Group.
Management expects to extend the right of tenure for tenements approaching expiry.

MINING VENTURE INTERESTS (continued)
Rey/Buru/Origin 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.
On 21 December 2020, a binding letter of agreement had been executed between Rey, Buru Fitzroy Pty Ltd
(“Buru”) and Origin Energy West Pty Ltd (“Origin”) pursuant to which both Buru and Rey will farmout 20%
of their respective participating interest in each of EP457 and EP458 to Origin. On 15 April 2021, a formal
farm-in agreement was executed between the parties and 40% interests in each of the tenements were
accordingly transferred to Origin. On 13 February 2023, Rey announced that Origin has decided to withdraw
from the Canning Basin and the 40% interests in each of the tenements previously assigned to Origin under
the farm-in agreement will be assigned back to Buru and Rey equally in accordance with the pre-farmin
equities. Accordingly, Buru is now holding a participating interest of 60% in each of the tenements, with
Rey holding the remaining 40%.
The current interest in the two exploration permits, known as “The Fitzroy Blocks”, are:
Rey Oil and Gas Pty Ltd
Buru Fitzroy Pty Ltd
40%
60%
(of which a 6.66% interest is free carried to production)
(Buru Energy Limited, operator)
As a result of the farm-in agreement, the Group has significant influence over the unincorporated mining
venture interest over the exploration permits. The total amount of the Group’s capitalised exploration
and evaluation expenditure under this joint venture agreement at the reporting date was $5,012,000
(2022: $4,753,000).

Neither past due nor impaired
Financial risk management framework
2023

2022
9
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.
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 2023 and 30 June 2022, 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.

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF REY RESOURCES LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial report of Rey Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries
(the Group) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, 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 report of Rey Resource Limited is 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 2023 and of its financial performance
for the year then ended, and
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 Consolidated 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 report 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 $2,232,000 and had operating and investing cash outflows totalling $1,305,000 for the year ended 30
June 2023. The Group’s current liabilities exceeded current assets by $292,000 as at 30 June 2023. 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 Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not
modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters
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
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Note 12 Exploration and Evaluation
Expenditure
As at 30 June 2023, the Group has $39,161,000
of exploration and evaluation expenditure (E&E
Expenditure) capitalised as assets and
concluded there were no indicators of
impairment for these E&E Expenditure required.
An impairment test of the E&E Expenditure must
be completed 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 is a key audit matter due to:
the size of the balances being 97.5% of the
Group’s total assets, and
the level of judgement required on assessing
the impairment indictors and determining the
assumptions used in the discounted cash
flow model.
Our audit procedures included:
Evaluating management’s assessment of whether there
are any indicator of impairment for the E&E Expenditure
is appropriate
Considering whether the Group’s right to explore in the
relevant exploration areas is valid
Obtaining project and corporate budgets and evaluating
the Group’s ability to fund continued exploration and
evaluation activities and its capacity to secure additional
funding when necessary to continue exploration and
evaluation activity in the relevant exploration area
Testing the mathematical accuracy of the discounted
cash flow model 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 specialist, and
Assessing the adequacy and appropriateness of the
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in
the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023, but does not include the consolidated financial report
and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial report 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 report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial
report, 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 Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial report that gives 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
report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial report, 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 Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial report as a whole is
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 this consolidated
financial report.
Take the lead
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
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 represents 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.
