MANAGING DIRECTOR’S LETTER
Dear Shareholders,
As we reflect on the year gone by, it's clear that Red Sky has navigated another period of significant
challenges and opportunities with resilience and strategic focus. Emerging from the complexities of
the global landscape, including ongoing geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions, our
company has steadfastly progressed in its mission to enhance our asset portfolio.
Our operations at the Innamincka project have marked a year of substantial achievement with the
commencement of inaugural Australian production for the Company. The successful agreement and
construction of the free carried pipeline connection into the Santos grid and the commencement of
gas production from the Yarrow 3 well represent significant milestones in transitioning Red Sky from
exploration to production. A free carried 3D seismic acquisition program was completed successfully
which will in due course provide further drilling opportunities. These accomplishments, coupled with
anticipated further new revenues from the Innamincka project and strategic partnership for gas sales,
underscore our projects' viability and growth potential.
At Killanoola, the revision of the best estimates of petroleum initially in place and the commencement
of production activities at Killanoola DW1, along with a sale agreement with Viva Energy, highlights
our commitment to leveraging our assets for sustainable growth. These developments reflect our
ability and commitment to overcome challenges, including those posed by the crude's viscosity and
the market dynamics, to establish new revenue streams and contribute to our financial strength.
Despite the extreme external pressures on costs and the challenges of the domestic and global
landscape, our focus on strategic acquisitions and prudent financial management has positioned Red
Sky to capitalise on growth opportunities. Our focused active pursuit of leveraged value-accretive
mergers and acquisitions aims to enhance the company's profile and create long-term value for our
stakeholders.
The strategic decisions at Killanoola and completing the seismic acquisition program at Innamincka
and our strategic decisions, including the pipeline construction and the sales agreement with Origin
Energy, testify to our commitment to operational excellence and strategic growth.
The past year's journey has not been without challenges, yet it has been marked by significant
progress and achievements. The forthcoming year promises to be one of continued strategic action,
with our focus on optimising production, expanding our project portfolio, and enhancing shareholder
value.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our board, management, and especially you, our shareholders, for
your unwavering support and belief in our vision. Together, we are poised for a future of sustained
growth and success.
Thank you for your continued support.

Innamincka Dome Projects
Figure 1: Innamincka Dome Projects location map with Yarrow and Napowie highlighted
In early February, the Company advised that the activity by Santos Limited (ASX:STO) (Santos) at Yarrow 3 Well had been completed
with an agreement reached to proceed with the construction of a pipeline of approximately 18km to tie into the grid to the south of the
Yarrow gas field. Red Sky holds 20% working interest in six PRLs (14, 17, 18, 180, 181, 182) at the Innamincka Dome.
This construction activity will allow production from Yarrow 3 with potentially further wells to follow and allow Red Sky to receive
production revenue from first gas subject to reviews and a metering agreement between the parties.
Preliminary analysis of pressure data indicated connected volume >1.7 BCF (EUR 1.3 BCF) with some residual water production. Peak
rate of approximately 5MMscfd through a 36/64’’ choke with tubing head pressure of 780psi.
Memory Production Logging Tool (MPLT) was completed and this confirmed the flow was in line with initial data from the fracc with 85%
from the Patchawarra formation and 15% from the Tirrawarra sandstone. Post receipt of this analysis, Santos’ Cooper Basin based team
recommended proceeding with the 18km pipeline connection in parallel with a proposal to re-enter Yarrow 1 and test the well with the
view to also moving it to production and eventually tie in to the same pipeline.

The joint venture agreed to suspend any drilling at the Flax oil horizontal opportunity as per the Joint Venture farm in agreement and
substitute this commitment with an investment in the Yarrow 3 flowline to the equivalent value of A$5m.
Yarrow 3 was an appraisal gas well targeting the Tirrawarra sandstone as the primary objective and the Patchawarra formation as the
secondary objective. Tested at Yarrow 1, the Tirrawarra sandstone was shown to flow gas to surface. Preliminary wireline evaluation of
the Tirrawarra Sandstone and Patchawarra Formation had been conducted and gas was encountered at both horizons.
Yarrow has been estimated to have a 2C contingent resource of 18BCF. A further 20BCF 2C of associated gas is estimated at the Flax oil
field 8km to the south east of Yarrow (Flax is a shut in oil field with associated gas that has not yet been produced).
In May and June, the Company advised that Santos had provided further updates on the construction of the pipeline. The pipeline was to
be predominantly laid underground with certain points above ground where necessary and that construction was continuing to proceed as
planned. The gathering line was mostly complete and the hydrotest was being set up. Ongoing flowline activities included trenching,
lowering and welding of the spooling.
In late June, the Department for Energy and Mining of South Australia granted to Red Sky and Santos a renewal of the Petroleum
Retention Licence (PRL) 17 and Associated Activities Licence (AAL) 296 located in the South Australian Cooper Basin for a further 5
years until 26 June 2028. The PRL will allow Red Sky and Santos to construct, operate and maintain a flowline.
In August, Red Sky announced that Santos had advised of the completion of construction of the pipeline, tie in to the network to the south
of the Yarrow gas field and the completion of the Yarrow 3 well. First gas production from the Yarrow 3 well and online commissioning
activities had commenced. Production was expected to ramp up gradually as the gas is pressured up into the pipeline network for
transport down to Moomba for processing.
In October, Red Sky advised that it had signed an umbrella bilateral gas sales agreement (MBA) with Origin Energy Limited (ASX:ORG)
(Origin Energy) coinciding with the completion of construction of the pipeline by Santos and successful tie in to the grid to the south of the
Yarrow gas field. The MBA sets out the framework of terms and conditions under which transactions will be entered into between the
parties. The intent is that sales will be for all gas produced until 1 January 2026 with provision for an agreed extension and structured
under a take or pay arrangement. Production from Yarrow 3 translates into first revenues from the project for Red Sky.
Red Sky also announced that agreements had been finalised with the South Australian Cooper Basin Joint Venture (SACBJV) pertaining
to the tie-in, transport and processing of Yarrow gas through the SACBJV network. The tie-in agreement also entails the transfer of the
southern 4km of the Yarrow flowline to the SACBJV, with the reimbursement to be received by Red Sky effectively mitigating a significant
portion of Red Sky’s project farm-in costs. Following this integration, the Yarrow-Flax-Juniper line (YFJ line) will span 14km.
In December, Red Sky confirmed first revenues for the month of November under the MBA with Origin Energy. Sales of ethane, LPG and
condensate proceeds by the operator are expected to follow.
The gas sales volumes for the quarter which commenced part way through November were 19,581gj’s of processed gas which equated to
revenue of $264,344.
Sales income for both gas and liquids due to the Company expected from production to date at the end of the year equated to
approximately $1.05m.
Furthermore, the Company successfully reached agreements for the separate onward sale of ethane, LPG, and condensate. These
accomplishments signify notable advancements for Red Sky, underscoring its dedication to optimising operations at Yarrow.

Yarrow Joint Seismic Acquisition Agreement
In September, Red Sky advised that it had agreed to a Seismic Acquisition program with Santos in conjunction with the adjacent permit
to cover parts of PRL14 including Yarrow and PRL17. The joint acquisition is cost effective and will result in a shared benefit area.
Seismic acquisition is a crucial process in the project's exploration phase. Its primary purpose is to gather precise and dependable
subsurface data, which will aid Red Sky in making well-informed choices regarding drilling locations. This method involves creating
intricate subsurface images by observing how seismic waves move through various layers of rock and other substances. These seismic
waves are intentionally generated using a seismic source that directs energy into the ground. As this energy travels through the
subsurface, it bounces back upon encountering boundaries between distinct rock layers or other geological characteristics. Seismic
acquisition will provide valuable information about the subsurface structure, which is important to Red Sky’s placement of further
development wells and exploration activities.
In October, the Company advised that the planned Seismic Acquisition program had commenced and in December, the Company
announced the successful conclusion of the program. The program was completed and all crews and equipment were demobilised from
the site. Santos is engaged in the technical aspects of the project, and the acquired data will undergo processing and interpretation in the
upcoming months. The results are expected towards the end of 2024 and will be utilised for a full field development plan.

Killanoola Project
Figure 7: Killanoola Oil Field (PRL-13) location map
(Adelaide Energy Pty Ltd is a subsidiary of Beach Energy Ltd (ASX:BPT))
During the first half of the year, Red Sky focused on progressing an offtake agreement for the sale of Killanoola crude. The intention was
to include an additive to provide flow assurance which resolves the viscosity issue and reduces the pour point significantly. Revised
assays on the crude with the additive were performed.
In August, Red Sky announced the signing of an agreement with Viva Energy Australia Pty Ltd (ASX:VEA) (Viva Energy) to purchase all
crude produced from the Killanoola oil field project subject to specifications. All crude produced and sold will be subject to required quality
specifications. Delivery will be made into Viva Energy’s Geelong refinery by road tanker approximately four hours to the southeast of the
Killanoola Project. The crude will be benchmarked against dated Brent for pricing.
In November, the Company advised that it had received approval from the Government of South Australia (SA) Department for Energy
and Mining (DEM) to commence production from the existing pay zone at the DW1 well, within the Killanoola Oil Project located in the
Penola Trough, South Australia.
Background
The Killanoola oil field Independent Competent Person’s Report (CPR) on the discovered Petroleum Initially In Place (PIIP) was updated
following the acquisition of 3D seismic data. In an ASX Announcement on 5 May 2022, it was released to the market that an Independent
Competent Person’s Report on the Discovered Petroleum Initially In Place (PIIP) in the Killanoola Oil Project had been carried out by
Global Resources & Infrastructure Pty Ltd. The newly estimated Discovered PIIP values took into account the additional net pay identified
in the wells Killanoola SE-1 and Killanoola-1 DW-1.
In April 2023, the Company announcement that the analysis of the recently acquired 3D seismic data had led to modifications in the
dimensions of the structural compartments. Following this, an Independent Competent Person's Report was published, which updated the
estimated amount of Discovered Petroleum Initially In Place (PIIP) for Killanoola potentially up to 135.5 mmbbls from its earlier value of
93.0 mmbbls. The details of the Killanoola oil field PIIP can be found in Table 1 provided below.

In December 2021, a successful fluid sampling operation was carried out at Killanoola-1 DW-1. Subsequent laboratory tests indicated that
the Killanoola crude has a maximum pour point of 36 degrees Celsius, which is indicative of a highly waxy crude. To account for the risk of
the presence of high paraffinic content in the reservoir on the oil recovery, Red Sky revised the recovery factor downward from 40% to
30%. A summary of the previous (9 April 2021) and updated (to 31 March 2022) values is given in Table 2 above.
Post receiving approval from the Government of South Australia (SA) Department for Energy and Mining (DEM) and mobilising
contractors to site immediately, works to prepare the well for the extended production test commenced on Tuesday 5 December 2023.
Several days later, Red Sky advised that it had suspended operations at the DW1 well within the Killanoola Oil Project.

Upon completing the piping and instrumentation work at surface, carrying out the pressure tests on the equipment at surface, and going
through all safety checks, the well was opened for flow. An initial rate of 62 bbl/day on an increasing trend, was observed. A down hole
mechanical failure of the existing pump led to the well losing its capacity to lift fluid to surface. After holding meetings with the pump
manufacturer and trying to troubleshoot the problem, a decision was made to halt operations until a new pump could be installed. The
installation of this new pump will require a well intervention and will form part of the 2024 work program.
Red Sky will look to contract a rig that will be used in 2024 for workover and drilling operations. Once this is secured, deploy the rig at
Killanoola to drill two new wells and utilise a crane which is more cost effective for the DW1 workover:

a well some 400 metres south east of Killanoola-1 DW1 identified by the 3D seismic interpretation;
a well some 250 metres to the east of Killanoola-SE1 also identified by the 3D seismic interpretation; and
(iii)
replace the defective pump at Killanoola-1 DW1 with a brand-new pump.

Risks and Uncertainties
The business and operations of Red Sky are subject to numerous risks, many of which are beyond Red Sky’s control. Red Sky considers
the risks set out below to be some of the most significant to the Company, but not all of the risks associated with the Company. If any of
these risks materialise into actual events or circumstances or other possible additional risks and uncertainties of which Red Sky is
currently unaware or which it considers to be material in relation to Red Sky’s business actually occur, the Company’s assets, liabilities,
financial condition, results of operations (including future results of operations), business and business prospects, are likely to be
materially and adversely affected.
(a) Red Sky has limited financial resources and limited operating revenues. To earn and/or maintain its interest in its oil and gas
projects, the Company has contractually agreed or is required to make certain payments and expenditures for and on such
projects. Red Sky’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, Red Sky establishing
commercial quantities of oil and gas reserves on its projects and obtaining the necessary financing and permits to develop and
profitably produce such products or, alternatively, disposing of its interests on a profitable basis, none of which is assured.
(b) Red Sky has only generated losses to date and will require additional funds to further explore its projects. Aside from revenue
being generated from the Innamincka project, the only sources of funds for exploration programs, or if such exploration
programs are successful for the development of economic ore bodies and commencement of commercial production thereon,
presently available to Red Sky are the sale of equity or farming out its oil and gas projects to third party for further exploration
or development. Red Sky’s ability to arrange financing in the future will depend, in part, upon the prevailing capital market
conditions as well as its business performance. There is no assurance such additional funding will be available to Red Sky
when needed on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Additional equity financing may also result in substantial dilution
thereby reducing the marketability of Red Sky’s shares. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in the delay or
indefinite postponement of further exploration and the possible, partial or total loss of the Company’s interest in its projects.
(c) Oil and gas production and exploration is subject to a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge
and careful evaluation may fail to overcome. These risks may be even greater in Red Sky’s case given its formative stage of
development and the fact that its oil and gas projects are still in their early stage. Furthermore, exploration activities are
expensive and seldom result in the discovery of a commercially viable resource. There is no assurance that Red Sky’s
exploration will result in the discovery of an economically viable project.
(d) Red Sky activities are subject to the risks normally encountered in the petroleum production and exploration business. The
economics of exploring, developing and operating resource projects are affected by many factors including the cost of
exploration and development operations, variations of the quality of the oil and gas and the rate of resource extraction and
fluctuations in the price of resources produced, government regulations relating to royalties, taxes and environmental
protection and title defects.
(e) Red Sky’s oil and gas projects may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, interests or land claims and title may be
affected by undetected defects. In addition, the Company’s activities require certain licences and permits from various
governmental authorities. There is no assurance that Red Sky will be successful in obtaining the necessary licences and
permits on a timely basis or at all to undertake its activities in the future or, if granted, that the licences and permits will be on
the basis applied or remain in force as granted.
(f) Red Sky must comply with environmental laws and regulations governing air and water quality and land disturbance and
provide for reclamation and closure costs in addition to securing the necessary permits to advance activities at is oil and gas
projects. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines
and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened degree
of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. Compliance with environmental laws and
regulations may require significant capital outlays on behalf of the Company and may cause material changes or delays in the
Company’s intended activities. Furthermore, environmental hazards may exist on the Company’s projects that are unknown to
the Company at present and that have been caused by the Company or by previous owners or operators of the projects, or
that may have occurred naturally. The Company may be liable for remediating such damages.
(g) Although the Company’s immediate focus will be on the existing projects, as with most exploration entities, it will pursue and
assess other new business opportunities in the resource sector over time which complement its business. These new business
opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of tenements/permits, and/or
direct equity participation. The acquisition of projects (whether completed or not) may require the payment of monies (as a
deposit and/or exclusivity fee) after only limited due diligence or prior to the completion of comprehensive due diligence. There
can be no guarantee that any proposed acquisition will be completed or be successful. If the proposed acquisition is not
completed, monies advanced may not be recoverable, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company. If an
acquisition is completed, the Directors will need to reassess at that time, the funding allocated to current projects and new
projects, which may result in the Company reallocating funds from the projects and/or raising additional capital (if available).
Furthermore, notwithstanding that an acquisition may proceed upon the completion of due diligence, the usual risks associated
with the new project/business activities will remain.

(h) Several of the Permits overlap with certain third-party interests that may limit or impose conditions on the Company's ability to
access the Permits to conduct exploration and production activities or that may cause delays in the Company's activities. In
particular, under South Australia and Commonwealth legislation, the Company may be required to obtain the consent of and/or
pay compensation to the holders of third-party interests, including private land, pastoral leases, petroleum tenure and other
mining tenure which overlay areas within the Permits in respect of any proposed exploration or production activities on the
Permits. The Company is also required to obtain the consent of the relevant Minister in relation to activities on certain areas of
the Permits.
(i) The Company is reliant on a number of key personnel and consultants, including members of the Board. The loss of one or
more of these key contributors could have an adverse impact on the business of the Company. It may be particularly difficult
for the Company to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced people given the current high demand in the industry
and relatively small size of the Company, compared with other industry participants.
(j) Climate change is a risk the Company has considered, particularly related to its operations in the petroleum industry. The
climate change risks particularly attributable to the Company include:
a.
b.
the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated with the transitioning to a lower-carbon economy and
market changes related to climate change mitigation. The Company may be impacted by changes to local or
international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties
for carbon emissions or environmental damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints on
industry that may further impact the Company and its profitability. While the Company will endeavour to manage
these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be impacted
by these occurrences; and
climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company,
including events such as increased severity of weather patterns and incidence of extreme weather events and
longer term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may
significantly change the industry in which the Company operates.
The above list of risks, uncertainties and other factors is not exhaustive.
Environmental Issues
The Group’s operations are subject to various environmental regulations. The majority of the Company’s activities involve low level
disturbance associated with its programs. As at the date of this report the group complies fully with all such regulations.
Health
The Company continued to monitor and comply with the preventive measures and controls authorities require business to apply.
Safety
There were no significant incidents or injuries during the year and at 31 December 2023, the year to date performance for Minor Injuries,
Medical Treatment Injuries and Lost Time Injuries was zero.
Environment
There were no significant incidents or environmental events during the period and the Company continues to collaborate with local
landholders to ensure the Company’s exploration work programs have minimal impact on agri-business activities and rehabilitation is
completed to a high standard.
Community
In preparation for undertaking work activities there has been extensive landholder or landowner consultation and coordination meetings.
During work programs there is regular communication with landholders to ensure company activities have minimal impact on agri-
business activities.

Remuneration Report (audited)
The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporation Act 2001.
This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for Directors and executives of Red Sky Energy Limited. This report has
been set out under the following main headings:
A. Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration

A. Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration
The Board of Directors is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors and Executive Officers.
The Board will assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to
relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high
quality Board and executive team.
The objective of the Group’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the
results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives, and the creation of value for
shareholders, and conforms to market best practice for delivery of reward. The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following
key criteria for good reward governance practices:
➢ Competitiveness and reasonableness
➢ Acceptability to shareholders
➢ Performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation
➢ Transparency
➢ Capital management
The board policy is to remunerate Non-executive Directors at fair market rates for comparable companies for the relevant time,
commitment and responsibilities. The board determines payments to the non-executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually
based on market practice, duties and accountability. The maximum amount of fees that can be paid to Non-executive Directors is subject
to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. The maximum amount approved is $250,000. Fees for non-executive
Directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align Director’s interests with shareholder interests the Directors are
encouraged to hold shares in the Company and may be issued with additional securities as deemed appropriate.
The Board believes that the remuneration policy is appropriate given the stage of development of the Company and the activities which it
undertakes and is appropriate for aligning Director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives. The board will
continually develop new practices which are appropriate to the Company’s size and stage of development.
Executive Officers are those directly accountable for the operational management and strategic direction of the Company and the Group.
All contracts with Directors and executives may be terminated by either party with three months notice.
Fixed remuneration
Fixed remuneration consists of a base remuneration package, which includes Directors’ fees (in the case of Directors), salaries, consulting
fees and employer contributions to superannuation funds.

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only.
Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 25.
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or
Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
(i) Compliance with IFRSs
Australian Accounting Standards include Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRs). Compliance with
AIFRSs ensures that the financial report of the Group complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).
(ii) Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entity's
normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting
period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months
after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held
primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to
defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
(iii) Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AIFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies (refer note 3).
(iv) Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the
recognition and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. As disclosed in the financial statements, the consolidated entity
incurred a loss of $1,559,814 (2022: $1,675,163) and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $695,192 (2022: $1,138,613) for
the year ended 31 December 2023. As at that date the consolidated entity had net current assets of $2,512,563 and net assets of
$6,419,345.
The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and that it is
appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report on the basis that the entity has prepared a cash flow
forecast for the next 12 months which allows for future expenditure to be paid from existing cash reserves.

1. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(b)
Principles of Consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Red Sky Energy Limited (“Company” or
“parent entity”) as at 31 December 2023 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Red Sky Energy Limited and its
subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity.
Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when
the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the
Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Inter-Company transactions, balances and recognised gains on
transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of
the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries are consistent with the policies adopted by the Group.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of Red Sky Energy Limited.
(ii) Joint arrangements
Under AASB 11 Joint Arrangements, investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures
depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor has, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. The Group
has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and concluded that the correct classification is ‘joint operations’.
The proportionate interests in the assets, liabilities, income and expenditure of joint operations have been incorporated in the financial
statements under the appropriate headings.
(c)
Segment reporting
The Group currently operates in the oil and gas industry. Refer to Note 4 for details.
(d)
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably
measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Sale of gas and liquids is recognised at the point of sale (Sales point ex the gate at Moomba for the Innamincka project), which is where
the customer has taken delivery of the goods, the risks and rewards are transferred to the customer and there is a valid sales contract.
Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of sales returns and trade discounts.
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Group
reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest
rate of the instrument and continues unwinding the discount as interest income.
(e)
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group's functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end
exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The
revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate
the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other
comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity. The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when
the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

1. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(f)
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less allowance for doubtful debts.
Trade receivables are due for settlement between thirty (30) and ninety (90) days from the date of recognition.
(g)
Investments and other financial assets
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial
measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised
cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such
assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated
entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or
all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at
fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose
of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where
permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.
(ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the consolidated entity intends to
hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition.
(h)
Impairment of financial assets
The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised
cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the consolidated entity's
assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial
recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.
Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss
allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is
possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has
increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss
recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument
discounted at the original effective interest rate. For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the
loss allowance is recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in profit or loss.
(i)
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is
directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of
property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:
Computer equipment
3 Years
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
(j)
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a 'first in first out' basis. Cost comprises direct materials and delivery
costs, direct labour, import duties and other taxes, and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure based on
normal operating capacity. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts received or receivable.

(k)
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is either written off as incurred or accumulated in respect of each
identifiable area of interest. Costs are 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 which permits reasonable assessment of the
existence of economically recoverable reserves.
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. 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.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to
the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. Restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs necessitated by
exploration and evaluation activities are expensed as incurred and treated as exploration and evaluation expenditure. Proceeds from the
sale of exploration permits or recoupment of exploration costs from farm-in arrangements are credited against exploration costs previously
capitalised. Any excess of the proceeds over costs recouped are accounted for as a gain on disposal.
(l)
Oil and Gas assets
Capitalised oil and gas development costs include expenditures incurred to develop new oil or gas fields or to to expand the capacity of a
field and to maintain production. Development costs also includes costs transferred from exploration and evaluation phase once
production commences in the area of interest.
Amortisation of oil and gas development costs is computed by the units of production basis over the estimated proved and probable
reserves. Proved and probable oil and gas reserves reflect estimated quantities of economically recoverable reserves which can be
recovered in the future from known fields. These reserves are amortised from the date on which production commences. The amortisation
is calculated from recoverable proven and probable reserves.
Restoration costs expected to be incurred are provided for as part of development phase that give rise to the need for restoration.
(m)
Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year, which remain
unpaid at year end. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 60 days of recognition. They are recognised at fair value on
initial recognition and subsequently at amortised cost.
(n)
Contributed Equity
Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on
the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction, net of tax, of the share proceeds received.
(o)
Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing
equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for
bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income
tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary share and the weighted average number of
shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

1. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(p) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of
the reporting period.
(q) Employee benefits
Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave for services
rendered to the reporting date, when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably. The
calculation of employee benefits includes all relevant on-costs and is calculated as follows at the reporting date.
(i) Wages and Salaries, Annual Leave and Long Service Leave
Provisions made in respect of employee benefits are measured based on an assessment of the existing benefits to determine the
appropriate classification under the definition of short term and long term benefits, placing emphasis on when the benefit is expected to be
settled. Short term benefits provisions that are expected to be settled within 12 months are measured at their nominal values using the
remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.
Long term benefits provisions that are not expected to be settled within 12 months, and are measured as the present value of the
estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date. Consideration
is given to the expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future
payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date to estimate the future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money.
Regardless of the expected timing of settlement, provisions made in respect of employee benefits are classified as a current liability
unless there is an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, in which case it
would be classified as a non-current liability. Provisions made for annual leave and unconditional long service leave are classified as a
current liability where the employee has a present entitlement to the benefit. A non-current liability would include long service leave
entitlements accrued for employees with less than 10 years of continuous service who do not yet have a present entitlement.
(ii) Accumulated superannuation contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to accumulated superannuation contribution plans are recognised as an expense as incurred.
(r) Share Based Payments
The Group may at times provide benefits to employees (including directors) and consultants of the Group in the form of share-based
payment transactions, whereby employees and consultants render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled
transactions’). The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees and consultants is measured by reference to the fair value at
the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using the Black & Scholes or Monte-Carlo simulation methods. The cost
of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the year in which the performance
conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which
the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the Group, will ultimately vest. This
opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance
conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. No expense is recognised
for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.
Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified.
In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the
date of modification. Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any
expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and
designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification
of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional
share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

(s) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of
three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net
of outstanding bank overdrafts.
(t) Income Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to
the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by
the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements and are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:
➢ Except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not
a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint
ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the
temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
➢
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax
losses can be utilised:
➢ Except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of
an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the
accounting profit nor the taxable profit or loss; and
In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests and joint
ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in
the foreseeable future extent that it is probable that the temporary differences can be utilised.
➢
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised
or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the income statement.
(u) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except:
➢ Where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authorities, in which case
the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense item as applicable; and
➢ Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the
balance sheet.
Cash flows are included the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and
financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows included in
receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and short-term deposits. The Group manages its
exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Group’s financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to support
the delivery of the Group’s financial targets while protecting future financial security.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group does not
speculate in the trading of derivative instruments. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to
which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rates and assessments of market forecasts for interest rates.
Ageing analysis of and monitoring of receivables are undertaken to manage credit risk, liquidity risk is monitored through the development
of future rolling cash flow forecasts.
The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below. Primary responsibility for identification
and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below,
including for interest rate risk, credit allowances and cash flow forecast projections.
Details of the material accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the
basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset and financial liability are disclosed in note
1 to the financial statements.
Risk Exposures and Responses
Market Risk
Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to risks of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s cash balances. The Group constantly
analyses its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions, alternative
financing positions and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates. As the Group has no interest bearing borrowings its exposure to
interest rate movements is limited to the amount of interest income it can potentially earn on surplus cash deposits.
At reporting date, the Group had the following financial assets exposed to variable interest rates not designated in cash flow hedges:
Security deposits
Cash and cash equivalents (interest-bearing accounts)
Net exposure

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date. At the reporting date, if

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Commodity Price and Foreign Currency Risk
The Group’s exposure to commodity price is minimal at present.
Foreign currency risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a
currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured, monitored and managed using cash flow forecasting. The
consolidated entity does not enter into any hedging contracts. The carrying amount of the consolidated entity’s foreign currency
denominated financials assets and financial liabilities the reporting date was minimal.
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.
Typically the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 60 days,
including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be
predicted, such as natural disasters.
The financial liabilities the Group had at reporting date were trade payables incurred in the normal course of the business. Trade payables
were non-interest bearing and were due within the normal 30-60 days terms of creditor payments.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise deposits with banks, security deposits and trade and other
receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with the maximum exposure equal to
the carrying amount of these instruments. The carrying amount of financial assets included in the consolidated statement of financial
position represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to those assets. The Group does not hold any credit
derivatives to offset its credit exposure.
The Group trades mainly with recognised, credit worthy third parties and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Group’s policy to
securities its trade and other receivables. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group does not
have a significant exposure to bad debts.
There are no other significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group.
Capital Management Risk
Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maximise the return to shareholders and ensure that the Group can fund its
operations and continue as a going concern.
Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in
response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of expenditure, debt levels and share
and option issues.
There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control capital of the Group since the prior year.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal
the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
(i) Estimation of useful lives of assets
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and
equipment and oil and gas assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The
depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete
or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.
(ii) Exploration expenditure
Exploration expenditure that does not form part of the cash generating units assessed for impairment has been carried forward on the
basis that exploration and evaluation activities have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or
otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing. In the event
that significant operations cease and/or economically recoverable reserves are not assessed as being present, this expenditure will be
expensed to the Income Statement.
(iii) Rehabilitation provision
A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs for future rehabilitation of land explored or used in production. The
consolidated entity's production and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the
environment. The consolidated entity recognises management's best estimate for assets retirement obligations and site rehabilitations in
the period in which they are incurred. Actual costs incurred in the future periods could differ materially from the estimates. Additionally,
future changes to environmental laws and regulations, life of field estimates and discount rates could affect the carrying amount of this
provision.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of
future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Members of Red Sky Energy Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Red Sky Energy Limited (‘the Company’) and its subsidiaries (together
‘the Group’), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 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 financial year then ended, and notes to
the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,
including:
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2023 and of its
financial performance for the year then ended; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section
of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements
of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical
Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to
our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given
to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this
auditor's report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit
of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matters (continued)
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed this matter
Carrying value of Exploration and evaluation assets
Refer to Note 13 to the financial statements
As at 31 December 2023, the carrying value of
the Group capitalised Exploration and
evaluation assets amounted to $3,632,035
(approx. 46% of the Group’s total assets). We
assessed this to be a Key Audit Matter
because of the materiality of the balance at the
reporting date and due to the significant
management judgment involved in assessing
the carrying value in accordance with AASB 6
Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral
Resources, including:
• Assessing whether
capitalised
exploration expenditure meets the criteria
of being capitalised in accordance with
AASB 6; and
the
• Assessing whether any
indicators of
impairment are present, and if so, to
quantify any impairment loss.
Revenue Recognition
As at 31 December 2023, the Group had
revenue of $357,903 relating to the sale of gas
and liquid commodities.
We have assessed this to be a Key Audit
Matter given this is the first period in which the
Group have produced saleable output and
recognised income.
•
Inappropriate revenue recognition could lead
to a material misstatement of the revenues and
of the operating results reported by the Group.
In particular, we focused on the risk of potential
failure to correctly apply the cut-off for revenue
transactions for the year.
Our audit procedures in relation to the carrying value of
Exploration and evaluation assets included:
• Reviewing the Group’s accounting policy and criteria

Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Company's annual report for the year ended 31 December 2023; but does not include the
financial report and the auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the 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 financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in
doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the 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 Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the 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 financial report that
gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the 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 have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted
in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and
Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf. This
description forms part of our auditor's report.
