Above all our other achievements, I am delighted to be able to report the generation of first power from Phase 1A of the MeyGen project and full Ofgem accreditation, the culmination of many years of hard work and perseverance. In June 2016, we connected to the 33kV Ness of Quoys distribution network, which paved the way for us to export our first power to the grid in November 2016. The connection was closely followed by our deal with Lochend Wind Energy Limited to deliver electricity to the grid whenever the MeyGen tidal project is not making full use of the available export capacity. This unprecedented arrangement further demonstrates our pioneering role in the renewables industry, combining wind energy with tidal energy to make more efficient use of existing grid assets. The second half of 2016 was dominated by the installation of subsea equipment and the commencement of generation, with the fourth and final turbine, supplied by the Atlantis turbine and engineering services division, being installed in February 2017 and reaching full power soon afterwards. I was particularly pleased to welcome the First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, to formally unveil the MeyGen project at Nigg Energy Park in Scotland in September 2016, just before the start of the foundation installation campaign. As the year drew to a close, we formalised our decision to proceed with the development for the next stage of the MeyGen project, known as Project Stroma, or Phase 1B. We have been working diligently to further refine the design of the turbines and balance of plant based on the lessons learned from Phase 1A, thus demonstrating progress to lower the cost of energy for tidal stream. This phase of the project will benefit from both €20.3 million of capital grant funding from Europe’s Horizon 2020 programme, as well as ¤16.8 million in revenue support under the NER300 scheme. MeyGen’s success has attracted infrastructure and private finance partners from across Europe, with whom we are working to strengthen our portfolio. In April 2016, we announced our new partnership with Equitix Limited for investment in our UK pipeline, and this was closely followed by an investment by DEME Concessions NV who acquired a 2% shareholding in Tidal Power Scotland Limited, our Scottish portfolio holding company. We also completed the sale of a 6% share in Tidal Power Scotland Limited to ScottishPower Renewables (UK) Limited, in exchange for the transfer of development rights for 110MW of further Scottish projects. Meanwhile, we were heartened by robust support from our Shareholders in a £6.5 million capital raise in April 2016, and a further £4.05 million in May 2017. We are striving harder than ever to drive down costs to ensure that our power is an attractive economic choice in the short term as well as providing a host of social and environmental benefits. We continue to make excellent progress in our ambition to provide sustainable and predictable green energy on a commercial scale, and to do so wherever there is available tidal resource. In April 2017, we signed an agreement with SBS Intl Ltd to develop a 150MW project in Indonesia, and since the end of the year, we have reported our active pursuit of opportunities in France and South Korea. We are also branching out into related energy project opportunities through our new Atlantis Energy division, which allows us to make the most of our experience in developing uniquely complex projects. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have partnered with and supported Atlantis through a very challenging year, including our Shareholders and many key stakeholders, and to thank our people and my fellow directors for their continued dedication as we move into the next exciting period of delivery. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Our Annual General Meeting will be held on 29 June 2017 and the notice of the meeting accompanies this Annual Report. I look forward to this opportunity to meet our Shareholders. John Mitchell Neill Chairman 30 May 2017 4 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIES CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S STATEMENT PROFILE The Group focuses on three core activities: power generation, project development and technology delivery. Our power generation activities are currently focused on MeyGen Phase 1A. Our project development capability has been honed through the origination, development and delivery of the MeyGen tidal stream project, and we continue to apply these skills to new opportunities in house as well as offering our specialist services to third party project owners. By targeting the early part of the project lifecycle, we can maximise our opportunity to create value both for our customers and for ourselves as project owners. Our turbine and engineering services division, meanwhile, ensures we have the means to deliver our projected reductions in the cost of energy. This allows our projects and those of third party developers to remain economically viable and financially attractive to infrastructure investors and governments in the long term, against competition from other sources of renewable power production in a range of global markets. UPDATE 2016 was a very significant year for the Group as we saw the realisation of over 10 years of hard work in the energisation of MeyGen Phase 1A. It was a challenging yet rewarding journey, and through tenacity, innovation and entrepreneurship we have continued to lead the tidal power sector on the road to commercial maturity. Initial indications are that the performance of our own turbine generator, the AR1500, will exceed our expectations in terms of power curve performance and we look forward to validating these claims over the coming months. All the Phase 1A turbines are currently undergoing upgrades proposed by the turbine suppliers following an initial period of operation, and are scheduled for reinstallation in mid-2017 when they will undergo their final performance and reliability guarantee tests. The UK’s decision in June 2016 to leave the European Union was followed by the reassuring confirmation that our existing sources of European public funding for UK projects would be unaffected. In particular, we will continue to benefit from the €37 million of capital and revenue support awarded to the next phase of the MeyGen project, known as Project Stroma. This preserves our opportunity to use this project to demonstrate the cost reducing innovations which are essential to the future viability of tidal power as it competes against longer established technologies. The necessity of rapid cost reduction was highlighted by the UK government’s decision to withdraw ring-fenced support for marine energy, but we are nonetheless pleased to have the opportunity to compete in the 2017 allocation round for contracts for difference. This regime replaces the outgoing Renewables Obligation, under which MeyGen Phase 1A has now received full accreditation, ensuring it receives five Renewables Obligation Certificates for each megawatt hour of generation. Whilst tidal stream remains our primary focus, we’ve also announced the creation of a new division, Atlantis Energy, through which we can apply our origination and development expertise to energy projects in related areas. We offer these skills to third party project owners as well as putting them to work to identify opportunities for broadening our own portfolio. We’ve already signed an agreement with Ideol, a leading developer of offshore floating foundation solutions, and we’re working with Natural Energy Wyre to progress the Wyre tidal barrage project on the Lancashire coast in England. 2017 promises to be a year of technological and geographical diversity as we continue to build this part of the business alongside our latest tidal stream opportunities in France and Asia. 5 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIES CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S STATEMENT continued SUMMARY OF RESULTS As a result of the relocation of the Group’s corporate headquarters from Singapore to Edinburgh, the Group’s presentational currency changed from Singapore dollar to Great British pounds (“GBP”), effective 1 January 2016. All comparative figures have been restated and are also presented in GBP. For the year ended 31 December 2016, the Group recorded a post tax loss of £7.3m, a decrease of £9.3m on the prior year profit. The prior year included one-off gains arising from the acquisition of Marine Current Turbines (“MCT”) of £9.2m and the disposal of 50% of our stake in Atlantis Operations Canada Limited (“AOC”) of £0.9m. Revenue from consulting services was £0.2m, down from £1.4m in the previous year as a result of the completion of the final design phase of our contract with Energy Technologies Institute (“ETI”). The completion of this phase of the ETI project also contributed towards lower costs during the year. Total expenses for the year were £9.1m, a reduction on the prior year of £2.9m. Prior year expenses included an impairment charge of £1.9m, primarily on the AR1000 turbine, which was considered to be obsolete. Further cost reductions were realised in Research and Development costs and subcontractor costs, as noted above. Other gains were £2.8m which, when excluding the one-off items noted above relating to MCT and AOC, were down £0.4m on the prior year. The MCT acquisition in 2015 resulted in a bargain purchase gain, mainly in respect of the fair value of turbine technology and seabed options, while the AOC disposal resulted in a re-measurement gain on the remaining 50% held by the Group. The Group’s net assets increased during the year by £8.9m to £66.6m. In April 2016, the Group raised approximately £6.5m through a successful share issue. In return for a 6% stake in the Group’s project development company, Tidal Power Scotland Limited (“TPSL”), we acquired additional seabed options from Scottish Power Renewables worth £6.6m. Further, DEME Group took an additional 2% stake in TPSL in consideration for £2m cash. The Group retains a 92% interest in TPSL. Finally, Scottish Enterprise made a further £1.3m equity injection to MeyGen Holdings Limited (“MGHL”), increasing their shareholding to 16.55%. The Group retains the remaining 83.45% interest in MGHL.

INTERNAL CONTROLS AND RISK MANAGEMENT The Board has overall responsibility for the Group’s system of internal control and for reviewing its effectiveness. It approves all aspects of the overall risk management framework, including the strategic direction of the business, annual budgets and business plans, the risk management policy and delegations of authority. There is an agreed risk tolerance which is reflected in the Group’s strategy and risk management activities are geared towards achieving business plans whilst safeguarding the Group’s assets. This system is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives and can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement, loss and the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Group’s system of internal control includes an ongoing process of identifying, monitoring and managing risks by executive management, who ensure that adequate systems, processes and controls are in place. Reports are provided by management to the Audit Committee on internal control and risk management policies, and the Board monitors risk exposures, risk management activities and the effectiveness of controls. In particular, Health and Safety (“H&S”) has been identified as a key area of risk to the business. The executive management team has constituted a CEO Safety Committee to monitor the systems used by the Company to manage H&S across all aspects of the business, as well as promoting strategic health, safety and environment issues throughout the Company. In addition, the Board carries out a robust assessment of the principal risks facing the Company. BOARD AND COMMITTEE EVALUATION An evaluation of the effectiveness and performance of the Board and its Committees will be carried out. SHAREHOLDER ENGAGEMENT The Company is committed to ensuring that there is effective communication with Shareholders on matters such as governance and strategy so that the Board understands the views of large Shareholders on these issues and Shareholders receive a balanced and consistent view of the Company’s performance. Communication is primarily through the AGM which provides an opportunity for Shareholders to meet and ask questions of Directors and management. The Company has an ongoing dialogue with investors by periodical public correspondence between the management and the Shareholders via the use of social media. A range of corporate information is also available to Shareholders, investors and the public on the Company’s website www.atlantisresourcesltd.com. All Shareholders will receive a copy of the audited financial statements. The interim reports are made available on the Company’s website. MAJOR SHAREHOLDER AND SHAREHOLDER ARRANGEMENT In February 2014, the Company, N+1 Singer and Morgan Stanley Renewables Development 1 (Cayman) Limited (“Morgan Stanley Renewables”), which on admission held 42.4% of the Company’s share capital, entered into a relationship agreement, the principal purpose of which is to ensure that the Company is capable at all times of carrying on its business independently of Morgan Stanley Renewables and its connected persons and to ensure all transactions and relationships between them and the Group are conducted at arm’s length and on normal commercial terms. The terms of the relationship agreement remain unchanged from the AIM admission document. 14 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT The Board has delegated responsibility to the Audit Committee to oversee the financial reporting of the Company, including the finance function, internal control and risk management and the effectiveness of the audit process. The Audit Committee provides independent oversight of both the senior management team and the external auditors. It regulatory reports to the Board on the execution of its duties and responsibilities. The Audit Committee comprises three non-executive Directors (the “Members”), appointed by the Board, one of whom should have recent and relevant financial experience. Mr Duncan Black was appointed as a member of the Audit Committee on 26 May 2016, notwithstanding that he was considered non-independent in accordance with the QCA Code. The Nomination Committee and Board supported the recommendation in respect of Mr Black’s appointment as it was felt that his financial experience and knowledge was of great benefit to the Company. Further details on the Audit Committee’s membership and attendance records can be found in the Corporate Governance Report on pages 12 and 13. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer may attend meetings by invitation and other members of the senior management team attend as required. The audit partner and audit manager from the Company’s external Auditors are invited to attend meetings on a regular basis. The principal duties of the Audit Committee, which reports its findings to the Board, are to: • monitor the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting and significant financial accounting policies and judgements; • review the content of the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements where requested by the Board, and advise on whether it is fair, balanced, understandable and provides the information necessary for Shareholders to assess the Company’s position and performance, business model and strategy; • monitor the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls and risk management framework; • • • • consider annually whether the Company should establish an internal audit function and make a recommendation to the Board accordingly; consider and make recommendations to the Board, to be put to Shareholders for approval at the Company’s AGM, in relation the appointment, re-appointment and removal of the Company’s external auditor; advise the Board on the appointment, terms of engagement and remuneration of the external auditor and monitor their independence; and review the effectiveness of the Company’s systems for the detection of fraud and the prevention of bribery. The Audit Committee works closely with the Chief Financial Officer and senior management to ensure that the Committee is provided with the necessary information it requires to discharge its duties. The Audit Committee’s meeting agendas are based on annual reporting requirements and other ad-hoc issues which arise during the course of the year. During 2016, the Audit Committee met on three occasions, at which a number of matters were considered including: • • • • • • • • • • Internal controls and risk management; Finance function overview; Financial statements and key assumptions; Review of financial statements for key subsidiaries; Review of the audit plan and fees; Review of external audit services; External auditor’s report to the Committee; The effectiveness of the audit process; External auditor re-appointment; and Assessment of the need for an internal audit function. INSIGHTS INTO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE’S ACTIVITIES DURING THE YEAR During the course of the year, the Audit Committee monitored the impact of the Company’s relocation of its headquarters from Singapore to Scotland and subsequent change of its functional currency to GBP. There are no concerns to report in respect of this financial year. 15 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT continued The Audit Committee has reviewed, analysed and challenged the significant assumptions within the audited financial statements with an independent mindset. It has considered the application of materiality, the auditor’s assessment of risks of material misstatements and how management has been responsive to the audit. No significant accounting issues have been identified during the reporting period. The Audit Committee considers the two most significant judgement areas within the 2016 financial statements to be the carrying value of the MeyGen project and intangible assets, and the going concern assumptions. The Audit Committee debated the asset carrying values, and in particular the assumptions used in value-in-use models which supported them, and has satisfied itself that the assumptions fall within an acceptable range. In relation to going concern, the Audit Committee has considered the financial forecasts prepared for the period of more than one year subsequent to the date of signing of the financial statements. The Group must operate within its available cash resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due. As set out in note 2.1 on page 35, the Group’s financial forecasts show that this can be achieved. These financial forecasts are subject to certain key assumptions around the rescheduling of debt repayments totalling £3.2 million, the timing of receipt of further grant awards and the ability to take mitigating actions to reduce costs should the need arise. The Audit Committee debated these cash flow forecasts including the key assumptions and sensitivities, and has satisfied itself that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. The Audit Committee also conducts a review of the Company’s subsidiaries’ key financial performance and processes. At the request of the Audit Committee, the Chief Financial Officer conducted an internal review of the Company’s internal controls and risk and concluded that these sufficiently address the Company’s risks. Following this internal review, PricewaterhouseCoopers (“PwC”) were appointed to conduct a review of the design and operating effectiveness of the key financial controls of the Company. The Audit Committee considered and reviewed the findings of the PwC report, of which none were deemed critical or high risk by PwC, in addition to senior management’s response to the PwC findings. The Audit Committee continues to monitor management’s action plan to remediate the medium and low risk issues identified from the PwC review. The Audit Committee considered the need for an internal audit function and has determined that there is no need for an internal audit function given the limited size of the Company and the robustness of the internal controls, a view that was supported by the third party review during the year. It has been agreed that the Audit Committee will consider the need for an internal audit function on an annual basis and will consider using a third party provider to undertake internal audit reviews. The Audit Committee monitors and reviews the effectiveness of the external audit process, it undertakes a review of the audit plan and the audit results report. It also met with the external auditor without the presence of the management team during the year. The Audit Committee makes recommendations to the Board on the re-appointment, remuneration and terms of engagement of the Auditor. Any concerns with the effectiveness of the external audit process would be reported to the Board. The Audit Committee assessed the performance of the auditor in respect of the Annual Report. No concerns were raised in respect of the year ended 31 December 2016. The Audit Committee has satisfied itself that safeguards were in place to protect the objectivity and independence of the auditor. Generally, it is the approach of the Audit Committee not to use the auditor for non-audit work. Following consideration of the performance of the Auditor, the service provided during the year and a review of their independence and objectivity, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board the continued appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s external independent auditor. Following the consideration of the above matters and its detailed review, the Audit Committee was of the opinion that the Annual Report, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary for Shareholders to assess the Company’s position and performance, business model and strategy. 16 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT continued TERMS OF REFERENCE The Audit Committee keeps its terms of reference under review and makes recommendations for changes to the Board.

Shareholders will be asked to approve the Remuneration Report at the forthcoming AGM. REMUNERATION COMMITTEE The members of the Remuneration Committee and the Remuneration Committee’s role are set out on page 13. REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK The overall aim of the Company’s remuneration framework is to provide appropriate incentives that reflect the Company’s performance, culture and values. The Company also attempts to ensure that the remuneration guidelines and culture are sustainable, transparent and appropriate. The Company’s framework aims to attract and retain high-performing employees and reward both short-term and long-term contributions to the Company. The Remuneration Committee is satisfied that this framework successfully aligns the interests of executive Directors, senior managers and other employees with the Shareholders’ long-term interests, by ensuring that an appropriate proportion of remuneration is directly linked to overall performance, in both the long and short term. In determining the practicalities of the approach, the Remuneration Committee considers a range of internal and external factors and appropriate market comparisons against other companies of a similar size and nature. ARRANGEMENTS TO ENABLE DIRECTORS TO ACQUIRE SHARES During and at the end of the financial year, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries was a party to any arrangement whose purpose was to enable the Directors to acquire benefits by acquiring shares in, or debentures of, the Company or any other body corporate, except as disclosed in this report.

LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (“LTIP”) On 11 December 2013, it was agreed, contingent on admission of the Company’s shares to trading on Alternative Investment Market (“AIM”), that the Company offered certain senior management and Directors options over shares through an LTIP. In 2015, the rules of the LTIP were amended to allow the Board to determine the date on which awards granted under the LTIP can vest. As at the date of this report, other than the options granted to Timothy James Cornelius, there has been no change to vesting dates. 19 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIES REMUNERATION REPORT continued The options granted to Directors are shown below: Name Date of grant Ordinary shares Nature of award Exercise price per share Vesting period Timothy James Cornelius(1) 30 September 2016 1,000,000 Option £0.50 1/3 on 11 Dec 2016, 1/3 on 11 Dec 2017 and 1/3 on 11 Dec 2018 Duncan Stuart Black 11 December 2013 851,064 Option £0.94 1/3 on each of first, second and third anniversary of grant John Mitchell Neill 11 December 2013 1,063,830 Option £0.94 1/3 on each of first, second and third anniversary of grant Michael Robert Lloyd 11 December 2013 106,383 Option £0.94 1/3 on each of first, second and third anniversary of grant Ian Anthony Macdonald 11 December 2013 265,958 Option £0.94 1/3 on each of first, second and third anniversary of grant (1) During the year, the 1,063,830 share options with an exercise price of £0.94 per share were modified and replaced with 1,000,000 share options at an exercise price of £0.50 per share and vested for three years from 11 December 2015.

In our opinion: (a) the financial statements set out on pages 29 to 83 are drawn up so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position and changes in equity of the Group and of the Company as at 31 December 2016 and the financial performance and cash flows of the Group for the year ended on that date in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50 and International Financial Reporting Standards; and (b) at the date of this statement, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due. The Board of Directors has, on the date of this statement, authorised these Financial Statements for issue.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group and the statement of financial position of the Company are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50 (the “Act”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) so as to give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group and the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2016 and of the consolidated financial performance, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group and of the changes in equity of the Company for the year ended on that date. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing (SSAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants and Accounting Entities (ACRA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Singapore, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ACRA Code. 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 statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Going concern basis of accounting (Refer to Note 2.1 to the financial statements) The key audit matter The Group incurred a net loss of £7.3 million during the year ended 31 December 2016. As at 31 December 2016, its current liabilities exceed its current assets by £201,000 and it had loans and borrowings of £32.4 million, of which £2.8m is due within 12 months from 31 December 2016. At the date of approval of these financial statements, the Group had recently raised £4.05 million before expense following a share placement (Note 32) which will give it sufficient available cash resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due in the next 12 months. However management is forecasting continued net cash outflows over the next 12 months which indicate that in certain periods, cash and cash equivalents available for use will be limited. In order to assess its ability to continue as a going concern management has prepared cash flow forecasts, including sensitivity to changes in underlying assumptions with lower funds raised from share placement and non-receipt of certain grant funding and project income, for the period of more than one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. These forecasts indicate that it can continue to operate within its available facilities, taking mitigating actions if necessary, and meet its liabilities as they fall due. These forecasts are dependent upon a number of key assumptions including the re-scheduling of debt repayments of £3.2 million, receipt of grant funding, recovery of cash placed as collateral and the ability to take mitigating action to reduce costs should this be required. 24 KPMG LLP (Registration No. T08LL1267L), an accounting limited liability partnership registered in Singapore under the Limited Liability Partnership Act (Chapter 163A) and a member �irm of the KPMG network of independent member �irms af�iliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity.

ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIES INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITED continued As this assessment involves consideration of uncertain future events, there is a risk that the judgement is inappropriate and the required disclosures in the financial statements is inadequate. How the matter was addressed in our audit We assessed the principles and integrity of the financial forecast using our own internal specialists who are experienced in this area. We critically assessed management’s assertions surrounding rescheduling repayment of loans due to be settled in this year by evaluating correspondence with the counterparty and challenging those assertions based upon our knowledge of that party and discussions with them. We challenged the assertions made by management in relation to mitigating actions it could take to reduce costs if necessary based on our knowledge of the client and the industry in which it operates. Additionally through discussions with management we assessed their intent to take these mitigating actions should the need arise. We challenged management’s assumptions concerning the timing of receipt of future grant payments by inspecting relevant correspondence and considering the likelihood that the relevant conditions for receipt will be met. We performed a sensitivity analysis on the financial forecasts by removing forecast receipts of revenue which are uncertain and delaying the forecast receipt of amounts which are subject to timing risk and assessing the impact on anticipated headroom. We considered the adequacy of the required disclosures in Note 2.1 to the financial statements with reference to relevant accounting standards and Financial Reporting Council guidance. Our findings The Group has prepared cash flow forecasts with appropriate sensitivities which demonstrate that it can meet its liabilities as they fall due for the period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, taking certain mitigating actions if necessary. The cash flow forecasts use supportable assumptions and the mitigating actions which can be taken are within the control of the Group, however at certain periods within the next 12 months the cash headroom is forecast to be tight. Overall the results of our evaluation indicate that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis and the disclosures setting out the risks are adequate. Impairment assessment of Intangible Assets and Property, Plant and Equipment (“PPE”) (Refer to Notes 11 and 12 to the financial statements: £99.018m) The key audit matter Intangible assets and PPE form 86% of the Group’s total assets. They consist of the costs associated with the current project under development (MeyGen) together with acquired turbine technology assets and sea bed options. The assets are categorised into cash generating units (“CGUs”). In assessing the recoverable amount of these CGUs the Group has used discounted cash flow models to calculate their value in use. Due to the stage of development of the Group’s assets, there is significant judgement and estimation involved in preparing the cash flow models. There is a risk of impairment should the value in use is assessed to be lower than the carrying value of the assets. How the matter was addressed in our audit Our procedures included: • • • • comparing the Group’s process for identifying and reviewing the CGUs subject to impairment testing against the requirements of relevant accounting standards; utilising our valuation specialists to evaluate the basis and methodology adopted to calculate the value in use of the CGUs; challenging with the support of our internal experts the assumptions used in the cash flow projections based on our knowledge of the client and experience of the industry in which it operates; and performing sensitivity analysis to assess the effect of changes in assumptions in the cash flow models on the calculated value in use. 25 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIES INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITED continued Our findings The Group has a process for identifying and reviewing the appropriate CGUs for impairment testing which complies with relevant accounting standards. The value in use cash flow models utilise supportable assumptions, albeit the discount rates for certain seabed options are at the optimistic end of the acceptable range. Overall, based on the results of our evaluation, we concur with management that no impairment allowance is required for intangible assets and PPE. Other Information Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Chairman’s Statement, Chief Executive Officer’s Statement, Corporate Governance Report, Board of Directors, Directors’ Statement, Audit Committee Report, Remuneration Report, and Company Information (the Reports) in the Annual Report but does not include the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditors’ report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditors’ report, 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. When we read the Reports, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take appropriate actions in accordance with SSAs. Responsibilities of management and directors for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the Act and IFRS, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair financial statements and to maintain accountability of assets. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The directors’ responsibilities include overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process. Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ 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 SSAs 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 these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with SSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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. 26 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIES INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITED continued • • • • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s 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 auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the 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 auditors’ 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ 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. REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by those subsidiary corporations incorporated in Singapore of which we are the auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act. The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report is Ang Fung Fung.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 30 May 2017. 1. DOMICILE AND ACTIVITIES Atlantis Resources Limited (the “Company”) is a company incorporated in Singapore. The address of the Company’s registered office is 80 Raffles Place, Level 36, Singapore 048624. The principal activity of the Group is that of pioneering the development of tidal current power as a reliable, economic and secure form of renewable energy. The Company is an inventor, developer, owner, marketer and licensor of technology, intellectual property, trademarks, products and services and an investment holding company. The principal activities of the subsidiaries are disclosed in Note 13 to the financial statements. The financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2016 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” and individually as “Group entities”) and the Group’s interest in equity- accounted investee. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2.1. Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost basis, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below, and are drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Changes in functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). In prior years, the Company regarded Singapore dollar (“SGD”) as its functional currency. However, as a result of the relocation of the Group’s corporate headquarters from Singapore to Edinburgh, Great British Pounds (“GBP”) became the currency which mainly influences the Company’s expenses. Management concluded that SGD is no longer its functional currency and, effective from 1 January 2016, the Company and two of its subsidiaries, Atlantis Projects Pte. Ltd and Atlantis Turbines Pte Limited changed their functional currencies from SGD to GBP. GBP has also been adopted as the presentational currency of the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The change in functional currency of the Company was applied prospectively from the date of change in accordance with IAS 21 The Effect of Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange Rate. On the date of the change of functional currency, all assets, liabilities, issued capital and other components of equity and profit and loss account items were translated into GBP at the exchange rate on that date. The change in presentation currency of the Group has been applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, and the comparative figures as at 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2015 and for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 have also been restated to GBP accordingly. The changes in functional and presentation currencies have no significant impact on the financial positions of the Group as at 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2015, or the results and cash flow of the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2015. The financial statements are presented in GBP (£), rounded to the nearest thousand. Going concern Cash flow forecasts have been prepared for the period beyond 31 May 2018, including sensitivity analyses. Since the year end, the Group has, as detailed in Note 32 raised £4.05 million, before expenses, from a share placement which gives the Group available cash resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due during the forecast period. The Group is negotiating the rescheduling of repayment of certain of its debts and in this regard is in regular dialogue with the counterparty, whom it considers to be supportive. In addition, the Group expects to receive further grant payments under the terms of its Horizon 2020 grant funding. The Group is projected to operate within its available cash facilities for the forecast period, although mitigating action may be required to be taken in advance of periods when cash and cash equivalents available for use is forecast to be limited. 35 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIES 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued While the directors cannot envisage all possible circumstances that may impact the Group in the future, the directors believe that, taking account of the forecasts, sensitised forecasts, future plans and available cash resources, the Group has sufficient resources to meet all its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, after making reasonable enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Adoption of IFRS and revised standards The adoption of the new and revised International Accounting Standards (“IASs”) for the financial year beginning 1 January 2016 does not have a significant effect on the financial statements. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements. 2.2. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conjunction with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by other members of the Group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity (Capital reserve) and attributed to the owners of the Company. When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted for (i.e., reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings) in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or jointly controlled entity. In the Company’s financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less any impairment in net recoverable value that has been recognised in profit or loss. 2.3. Business combination The acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the acquisition date fair values of assets given, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree, and equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Where applicable, the consideration for the acquisition includes any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, measured at its acquisition date fair value. Subsequent changes in such fair values are adjusted against the cost of acquisition where they qualify as measurement period adjustments (see below). The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, or IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. 36 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held interests in the acquired entity are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date the Group attains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under the IFRS are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that: • • • deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively; liabilities or equity instruments related to the replacement by the Group of an acquiree’s share-based payment awards are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment; and assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard. If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see below), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date. The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the Group obtains complete information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and is subject to a maximum of one year from acquisition date. Goodwill The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as: • • • the consideration transferred; plus the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the pre-existing equity interest in the acquiree, over the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. On disposal of a subsidiary or the relevant cash generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal. Investment in joint venture (equity-accounted investee) A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control, whereby the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. They are recognised initially at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity-accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. 37 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity-accounted investee, the carrying amount of the investment, together with any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation to fund the investee’s operations or has made payments on behalf of the investee. 2.4. Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the Group’s statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Effective interest method The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and of allocating interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial instrument, or where appropriate, a shorter period. Income and expense is recognised on an effective interest rate basis for debt instruments other than those financial instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets All financial assets are recognised and de-recognised on a trade date where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit and loss which are initially measured at fair value. Financial assets comprise loans and receivables. Loans and receivables Trade and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment. Interest is recognised by applying the effective interest method, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank, short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of 3 months and cash on hand. For the purposes of the consolidated statement of cashflows, pledged deposits are excluded. Impairment of financial assets Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. For available-for-sale equity instruments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment. For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include: significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation. • • • 38 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade and other receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. With the exception of available-for-sale equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised. In respect of available-for-sale equity instruments, impairment losses previously recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any subsequent increase in fair value after an impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income. Derecognition of financial assets The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received. Financial liabilities and equity instruments Classification as debt or equity Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. Equity instruments An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Other financial liabilities Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. Loans and borrowings (except for financial guarantee contract liabilities) are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy for borrowing costs (see Note 2.16). Financial guarantee contract liabilities are measured initially at their fair values and, if not designated as fair value through profit and loss, subsequently at the higher of the amount of obligation under the contract recognised as a provision in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation in accordance with IAS 18 Revenue. Convertible loan notes Convertible loans are regarded as compound instruments, consisting of a liability component and an equity component. The components of the compound instruments are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for a similar non-convertible instrument. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished upon conversion or at the instrument’s maturity date. The equity component is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognised and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. 39 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued Derecognition of financial liabilities The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. 2.5. Leases Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. 2.6. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Freehold land is stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction for production, rental or administrative purposes, or for purpose not yet determined, are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. 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; • when the Group has an obligation to remove the asset or restore the site, an estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located; and • capitalised borrowing costs. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use. Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than freehold land and construction-in-progress, over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, on the following basis: Leasehold improvements Furniture, fixtures and equipment Computer equipment and software – – – 20% 25% 25% The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amounts of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss. Fully depreciated assets still in use are retained in the financial statements. 2.7. Intangible assets Internally-generated intangible assets – research and development expenditure Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Capitalisation of an internally generated asset is only permitted during the development phase. 40 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued Development activities must apply research findings for a business purpose, such as: • • • the design, construction and testing of pre-production or pre-use prototypes and models; the design of tools, jigs, moulds and dies involving new technology; the design, construction and operation of a pilot plant that is not of a scale economically feasible for commercial production; and • the design, construction and testing of a chosen alternative for new or improved materials, devices, products. The cost of capitalised development activities should include all directly attributable costs necessary to create, produce and prepare an asset for a business purpose in the manner intended by management. An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated: • • • • • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; the intention to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits; the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and • the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately. Amortisation will begin when the asset is available for use, i.e. when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Intellectual property Intellectual property is measured initially at purchase cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over the asset’s expected estimated useful life. Intellectual property is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that it may be impaired (see below for impairment testing). Intangible assets acquired in a business combination Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identified and recognised separately from goodwill. The cost of such intangible assets is their fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately. 41 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued 2.8. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets excluding goodwill At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash- generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. 2.9. 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 the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. 2.10. Share-based payments The Group issues equity-settled share-based payments to certain employees and directors. Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value of the equity instruments (excluding the effect of non market-based vesting conditions) at the date of grant. Details regarding the determination of the fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions are set out in Note 25. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of the number of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve. 42 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued Fair value is measured using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioral considerations. 2.11. Government grants Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them and the grants will be received. Government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are presented as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related assets and recognised as income over the useful lives of the assets by way of a reduced depreciation or amortisation charge. Other government grants are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the costs for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable. 2.12. Revenue recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Consulting fees and sale of equipment Consulting fees are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represent amounts receivable for consulting services provided in the normal course of business, net of sales related taxes. Consulting fees are recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. Revenue for the sale of equipment is recognised when the risk and rewards of the product are transferred to the customer. Licence and royalties Licence and royalty revenue are recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement. Licence and royalties determined on a time basis are recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the agreement. Licence and royalty arrangements that are based on production, sales and other measures are recognised by reference to the underlying arrangement. 2.13. Retirement benefit obligations Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are charged as an expense when employees have rendered the services entitling them to the contributions. Payments made to state-managed retirement benefit schemes, such as the Singapore Central Provident Fund, are dealt with as payments to defined contribution plans where the Group’s obligations under the plans are equivalent to those arising in a defined contribution retirement benefit plan. 2.14. Income tax Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are not taxable or tax deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted in countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and are accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. 43 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued Deferred tax liabilities are recognised on taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset realised based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items credited or debited outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity), in which case the tax is also recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively), or where they arise from the initial accounting for a business combination. In the case of a business combination, the tax effect is taken into account in calculating goodwill or determining the excess of the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost. 2.15. Foreign currency transactions and translation The individual financial statements of each Group entity are measured and presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). The consolidated financial statements of the Group and the statement of financial position and statement of equity of the Company are presented in Great Britain Pounds, which is the functional currency of the Company, and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements. Transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the end of reporting period. All exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss. For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations (including comparatives) are expressed in Great Britain Pounds using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items (including comparatives) are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of equity. On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the accumulated exchange differences in respect of that operation attributable to the Group are reclassified to profit or loss. In the case of a partial disposal (i.e. no loss of control) of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. of associates or jointly controlled entities not involving a change of accounting basis), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss. 44 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the translation reserve in equity. 2.16. Finance costs Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings and changes in fair values of derivative liabilities. All borrowing costs are recognised in the profit or loss using the effective interest method, except to the extent that they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to be prepared for its intended use or sale. 2.17. Segment reporting The Group is currently focused on generating energy from tidal current power generation projects, development of these projects, and in developing its turbines for installation in those projects. It currently considers its business as three operating segments. 2.18. New standards and interpretations not adopted A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2017, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. Except as otherwise indicated below, those new standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations are not expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Group. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early. • IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers will replace IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations. IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It also introduces new cost guidance which requires certain costs of obtaining and fulfilling contracts to be recognised as separate assets when specified criteria are met. When effective, IFRS 15 replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers and IFRIC 31 Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 15 offers a range of transition options including full retrospective adoption where an entity can choose to apply the standard to its historical transactions and retrospectively adjust each comparative period presented in its 2018 financial statements. When applying the full retrospective method, an entity may also elect to use a series of practical expedients to ease transition. The standard establishes the principle for companies to recognise revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed (e.g. service revenue and contract modifications) and improved guidance for multi-element arrangements. The Group has completed an initial assessment of the potential impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. Based on its initial assessment, the Group does not expect the changes to have any material impact. • IFRS 9 Financial Instruments IFRS 9 Financial Instruments replaces most of the existing guidance in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. It includes revised guidance on classification and measurement of financial instruments, a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from IAS 39. 45 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is generally required, except for hedge accounting. For hedge accounting, the requirements are generally applied prospectively, with some limited exceptions. Restatement of comparative information is not mandatory. If comparative information is not restated, the cumulative effect is recorded in opening equity as at 1 January 2018. The Group has completed an initial assessment of the potential impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. Based on its initial assessment, the Group does not expect the changes to have any material impact. • IFRS 16 Leases IFRS 16 eliminates the lessee’s classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases and introduces a single lessee accounting model. Applying the new model, a lessee is required to recognise right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17 Leases. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for these two types of leases using the IAS 17 operating lease and finance lease accounting models respectively. However, IFRS 16 requires more extensive disclosures to be provided by a lessor. When effective, IFRS 16 replaces existing lease accounting guidance, including IAS 17, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC15 Operating Leases – Incentives, and SIC 27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, with early adoption permitted if IFRS 15 is also applied. The management is currently evaluating the impact of the implementation of this standard, in view of the complexities and the potential wide-ranging implications. 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 2, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 2, the critical accounting judgements that will have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements and the key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period 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: Recoverability of project-under-construction The Group tests its project-under-construction annually for impairment, or more frequently if there are indicators that it might be impaired. The recoverable amount is supported using both the subscription price of the shares in Tidal Power Scotland Limited (“TPSL”) by DEME Concessions NV and the Scottish Power Renewables (“SPR”) and by the estimated value-in-use of the MeyGen project. When value-in-use calculations are undertaken, management estimate the expected future cash flows from the cash generating unit and discount these in order to calculate present values. The key assumptions used are the expected cost and structure to fund the project and the discount rate to calculate present values. The recoverable amount was determined by management to be in excess of the carrying value and accordingly no impairment loss has been recognised. 46 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY continued Useful lives of intangible assets The useful lives are based on similar assets in the industry and taking into account anticipated technological changes. Judgement is required to determine the period over which the proprietary technology (to which the intangible assets relate) will continue to have economic value. Amortisation will commence upon the commercialisation of the assets. The Group reviews the useful lives of the intangible assets at the end of each reporting period. Recoverability of intangible assets The Group tests its intangible assets annually for impairment, or more frequently if there are indicators that they might be impaired. The recoverable amount is determined using a value-in-use calculation. The value-in-use was determined by discounting expected future cash flows, as described below. The Group has identified three separate Cash Generating Units (“CGUs”) amongst its intangible assets. Specifically these are: (i) Seabed options (ii) Development costs Intellectual property (iii) The approach taken for the value-in-use calculation for each of these CGUs, together with the key assumptions, is set out below. (i) Seabed options This intangible asset relates to tidal lease options that allow the Group to enter into 25-year leases to use various seabed areas for development and operation of tidal stream energy projects. The Group has used the greenfield method in order to estimate the value-in-use. This method aims to estimate the value of the subject asset based on discounted cash flows of a notional start up business with no assets but the subject asset. Key assumptions are made regarding the start up costs and capital investment required to utilise the asset. The greenfield method projects cash flows attributable to the subject assets by subtracting necessary investments. The cash flows are then discounted back to the Present Value using a discount rate commensurate with the specific project risk. The key assumptions for the value-in-use calculation are those regarding the discount rate, the cost of debt, revenue per MWh, and forecast operating and capital costs. The recoverable amount for each of the sites was determined to be in excess of the carrying value and accordingly no impairment loss has been recognised. (ii) Development costs This CGU relates to turbine sales, and consists of the intangible assets in relation to the “Global Technology License” acquired from Morgan Stanley and development costs in relation to design and commercialisation of the AR1500 turbines. The CGU is expected to generate cash flows from the supply of turbines. The key assumptions when determining the value-in-use are the forecast turbine sale volumes, sales price and achievable margin, in addition to the discount rate. The recoverable amount was determined to be in excess of the carrying value and accordingly no impairment loss has been recognised. (iii) Intellectual property This CGU relates to the turbine technology of Marine Current Turbines, and consists of intangible assets in relation to the development of turbine technology. The key assumptions when determining the value-in-use are the forecast turbine sale volumes, sales price and achievable margin, in addition to the discount rate. The recoverable amount was determined to be in excess of the carrying value and accordingly no impairment loss has been recognised. 47 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY continued Provision for decommissioning costs Provision for decommissioning costs is recognised as part of the construction-in-progress related to a turbine. The provision is an amount equal to the directors’ best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Group’s obligation. Functional currency In determining the functional currency of the Company, management has considered the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. As described in Note 2.1, effective from 1 January 2016, the Company and two of its subsidiaries, Atlantis Projects Pte. Ltd and Atlantis Turbines Pte. Limited changed their functional currencies from SGD to GBP, as a result of the relocation of the Group’s corporate headquarters from Singapore to Edinburgh and GBP became the currency which mainly influences the Company’s and the two subsidiaries’ expenses. Management concluded that SGD is no longer its functional currency. 4. REVENUE Consulting fees 5.

JOINT VENTURE Investment in joint venture Group 2016 £’000 – 2015 £’000 211 In October 2015, the Company sold a 50% stake in Atlantis Operations Canada Limited (“AOC”) to DP Group Limited for a consideration of £250,000, to form a partnership to develop a multi-turbine array at the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy (“FORCE”) facility in Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, Canada. Accordingly, the Group has classified its remaining interest in AOC as a joint venture, which is equity-accounted. The divestment and re-measurement to the fair value of the Group’s remaining 50% interest resulted in a gain of £902,000, which is reflected as “other gains” in the consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income (Note 5) for the year ended 31 December 2015. The following table summarises the financial information of AOC, based on its financial statements prepared in accordance to IFRS, modified for fair value adjustments on acquisition.

Accordingly, a full impairment loss of £1,881,000 was recognised in profit or loss. The asset was subsequently disposed of in 2016 with no gain or loss being recorded. (b) Project-under-construction Construction costs of the MeyGen project capitalised during the year totalled £22,846,000 (2015: £19,854,000). Included in this amount are capitalised borrowing costs amounting to £1,621,000 (2015: £815,000), which corresponds to an average interest cost on borrowings of 6% (2015: 5%) per annum. Aggregate grants of £13.3 million, comprising a £10 million grant from the United Kingdom’s Department of Energy and Climate Change, and two grants from Scotland’s Highlands and Islands Enterprise totalling £3.3 million, were awarded for MeyGen project in August 2014. Grants received where the conditions attached to them have been complied with were recorded as a deduction from the carrying amount of the project-under-construction in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 2. (c) Security At 31 December 2016, assets of subsidiaries with carrying amounts of £62,685,000 (2015: £41,042,000) were pledged as security on long term loans (Note 20(e)). 53 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 12.

The Group estimated that the technology has a useful life of approximately 15 years. (b) Intellectual property Intellectual property includes technical know-how, international patent applications and registered trademarks of the Company. During the prior year, the Group acquired intellectual property and seabed options upon the acquisition of the MCT group (Note 13). The MCT group is engaged in the design and assembly of tidal turbines and the development of tidal power generation projects. Amortisation has not commenced for the intellectual property relating to these tidal turbines as they are still in the development stage. The Group estimated that the intellectual property costs have a useful life of approximately 15 years. (c) Development costs Development costs include expenditure on planning or designing activities for the production of new or substantially improved tidal turbine products and processes. The Group estimated that the development costs have a useful life of approximately 15 years. (d) Seabed options Seabed options relate to options that allow the Group to enter into a 25-year lease to use the seabed for development and operation of the tidal stream energy projects. The seabed options will commence amortisation when leases are entered into for these projects. In May 2016, the Group, via its Scottish project development vehicle, TPSL, acquired SPR’s portfolio of tidal projects valued at £6.6 million, in exchange for a 6% shareholding in TPSL (Note 13(b)). 55 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 12.

(a) Share-based payments During the financial year, share-based payments granted by the Company resulted in an increase in the deemed investment in Atlantis Resources (Scotland) Limited (“ARSL”) and Marine Current Turbines Limited (“MCT”) amounting to £76,000 (2015: £24,000) and £2,000 (2015: £NIL) respectively. Correspondingly, as a result of a modification of share-based payments, there is a decrease in the deemed investment in Current Resources (Cayman) Limited in 2016 of £129,000 (2015: increase of £221,000). (b) Dilution of interest in subsidiary Tidal Power Scotland Limited (“TPSL”) In May 2016, the Group, via its Scottish project development vehicle, TPSL, acquired Scottish Power Renewables (“SPR”) portfolio of tidal projects valued at £6.6 million, in exchange for a 6% shareholding in TPSL. The SPR tidal power portfolio, which is recorded as intangible assets, consists of two sites, a 10 MW project at the Sound of Islay in Western Scotland and a 100 MW development at the Ness of Duncansby, Scotland. The project assets include agreements for lease with The Crown Estate for both sites, as well as governmental grid connection offer and construction consents for the Sound of Islay site. The Sound of Islay project has been awarded £17.3 million (€20.7 million) of grant funding from the European Commission’s NER300 fund by way of capital and revenue support. 57 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 13. INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES continued Subsequently in August 2016, DEME Concessions NV, a member of the DEME Group, (“DEME”) paid £2 million in cash consideration for a 2% stake in TPSL. DEME Group undertook an active role in the MeyGen Phase 1A installation through DEME’s subsidiary, Geosea NV (“GeoSea”), a specialist in complex offshore marine engineering projects. Geosea, installed all heavy turbine foundation structures for MeyGen Phase 1A with its jack-up vessel MV “Neptune”. In addition, DEME has certain rights in respect of further equity funding at financial close of the Sound of Islay project and Phase 1C of the MeyGen project. The Group retains the remaining 92% of TPSL. MeyGen Holdings Limited (“MGHL”) Under the terms of a Subscription Agreement, as at 31 December 2016, Scottish Enterprise, as administrator of the Renewable Energy Investment Fund, had made an equity investment of £12.1 million (2015: £10.8 million) in MGHL, while the Company, via APPL and TPSL, had subscribed for a total of £9.7 million (2015: £9.7 million) in new shares of MGHL. As a result, at 31 December 2016, Scottish Enterprise had a 16.55% (2015: 15%) shareholding in MGHL, with APPL retaining the remaining shareholding of 83.45% (2015: 85%) via TPSL. The Group recognised £775,000 (2015: £223,000) in equity, which represents the difference between the consideration received from Scottish Enterprise and the net assets attributable to Scottish Enterprise. The following table summarises the information relating to Group’s material non-controlling interest (“NCI”) in MeyGen Limited, based on its financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, modified for fair value adjustments on acquisition and differences in the Group’s accounting policies.

Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with the Company as guarantor, pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement dated 28 April 2015, successfully completed the acquisition of the whole of the issued share capital of MCT, a company incorporated in United Kingdom, from Siemens AG (“Siemens”). MCT and its group of companies are engaged in the design, assembly and sale of tidal turbines, and the development of tidal power generation projects. The acquisition of MCT allows the Group to broaden its turbines offering to include lighter weight turbines suitable for lower intensity sites and floating applications, as well as providing a pipeline of six tidal power generation development projects with a combined potential capacity of almost 200 MW. Consideration for the purchase was the issuance by the Company of new shares to Siemens, such that immediately following the issuance of such shares, Siemens became a 9.99% Shareholder of the Company. On the basis of the Company’s share price at market close on the date of completion of the acquisition, the fair value of the shares issued was £4,212,420. The acquisition-related costs amounting to £320,000 were excluded from the consideration transferred and were recognised as an expense in profit and loss in 2015 within the “other operating expenses”. The acquired business contributed losses and revenue amounting to £763,000 and £Nil respectively to the Group’s results for the period from 1 July 2015 to 31 December 2015. Had MCT been consolidated from 1 January 2015, the Group’s consolidated revenue and consolidated loss for the year ended 31 December 2015 would have been £1,375,000 and £1,065,000 respectively. 59 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 13.

Marine current turbine technology The fair value was determined after taking into account the potential sales revenue arising from the sale of turbines and the associated costs of the turbines discounted at a rate of 20%, and applying a probability factor of 33% to reflect the probability of the technology reaching commercialisation phase. Seabed options Seabed options allow MCT the right to enter into a 25-year lease to use the seabed for development and operation of the tidal stream energy projects. At the date of acquisition, 1 July 2015, the fair value of the options, amounted to £9,788,000, taking into account the future cash flows based on the following assumptions: • • • • • • operating revenues are a function of the number of turbines installed, the energy generated and price received for each MWh of electricity exported to the grid; debt financing is projected based on funding a proportion of the capital requirements of the project with an interest expense of LIBOR forward rates plus a margin; capital expenditure relates to the purchase of the turbines, grid connection, seabed lease, construction, cabling power conditioning, installation and onshore works; discount rate of 25%; probability factors of 20% to 33% are applied to reflect the probability of the project reaching commercialisation phase; the fair value of the seabed option is estimated based on the discounted cash flows of a notional start-up (greenfield) business with no assets but the seabed option. 60 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 13. INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES continued Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liability Tax losses amounting to £26,096,000 were available for utilisation against future taxable income at the acquisition date. Deferred tax assets recognised were capped at the amount of deferred tax liability recognised. Deferred tax liability is calculated based on the fair value adjustments to the seabed options and Marine Current Turbine technology at the local statutory tax rate. As the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liability relate to the same jurisdiction, deferred tax assets can be offset against the deferred tax liability Bargain purchase arising on business combination on 1 July 2015 The bargain purchase was recognised as a result of the business combination as follows: Total consideration transferred Fair value of identifiable net assets Bargain purchase £’000 4,212 (13,386) (9,174) The bargain purchase arising from the acquisition of MCT was attributable mainly to Siemens plan to reduce its direct exposure to the tidal energy industry as a project developer. It has been assumed that none of the bargain purchase recognised will be assessable for tax purposes. Net cashflow on acquisition of subsidiary Net cashflow on acquisition of subsidiary is arrived at as follows: Cash and cash equivalents acquired Total consideration transferred in cash Net cash inflow £’000 56 – 56 (d) Divestment of interest in subsidiary and formation of joint venture in 2015 In 2015, the Company sold a 50% stake in AOC to a subsidiary of DP Group Limited for £250,000, and AOC became a joint venture of the Group.

LOANS AND BORROWINGS continued The loan is denominated in British pounds, with a fixed interest rate of 15% per annum, is secured on the assets of MCT, AOU and ARSL and is repayable in 2017, together with a repayment premium computed at the rate of 15% per annum on the principal amount of the outstanding loan. At the end of the reporting period, the carrying value of the loan approximates its fair value. (b) Loan from a subsidiary The loan from a subsidiary was denominated in British pounds, was interest-bearing with an interest rate of 5.0% per annum, unsecured and is repayable in February 2021. The fair value of the loan at the end of the reporting period was approximately £361,000 (2015: £335,000). (c) Loans from a related party Loans from Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. (“MSCGI”) are treated as a related party loan given MSCGI is a related party of Morgan Stanley Renewables, a Shareholder of the Company. The loans from MSCGI are denominated in British pounds, with floating interest rates in the range 5.0% to 6.06% per annum, are unsecured and are repayable in February 2021. At the end of the reporting period, the carrying value of the loan approximates its fair value. (d) Long term loan The loan is denominated in British pounds, with a floating rate of interest in the range 5.90% to 5.92% per annum, is unsecured and is repayable in February 2021. At the end of the reporting period, the carrying value of the loan approximates its fair value. (e) Secured long term loans Atlantis Resources (Scotland) Limited In February 2014, ARSL, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a loan agreement of £2 million with Scottish Enterprise (as administrator of the Renewable Energy Investment Fund) as the lender and the Company as a guarantor. The loan of £2 million is being used to support the development of ARSL’s engineering hub in Scotland and was used to support the development of the initial phase of the MeyGen project. The loan is due for repayment in 2019, five years from drawdown, in a single bullet repayment. The interest rate for the loan is 12.0% per annum, with interest capitalising on 30 June and 31 December of each year and repayable upon maturity of the loan. Subsequently, on 28 April 2015, ARSL, with the Company as guarantor, entered into a loan agreement with GEG (Holdings) Ltd to borrow a £0.5 million loan. The loan has a three-year term and is repayable as a single bullet repayment at the end of the term, with interest rate of 4.5% per annum capitalising and not payable until maturity of the loan. These loans are secured on the assets of MCT, AOU and ARSL. MeyGen Limited In August 2014, as part of the Phase 1A MeyGen project financing, Scottish Enterprise (as administrator of the Renewable Energy Investment Fund) extended a loan of £7.5 million to MeyGen to finance the construction of the project. The Crown Estate Commissioners committed an investment of £9.8 million to MeyGen, also to finance the construction of the Phase 1A project, and which will be serviced through the payment of “enhanced rent”, with an exit payment at or before the date 10 years from commissioning of Phase 1A of the project. The Scottish Enterprise loan and the Crown Estate investment to MeyGen are denominated in British pounds, and are repayable in the period from 2017 to 2027. The effective interest rates on these loans are in the range of 7% to 7.8% per annum. As at 31 December 2016, the total loans drawn down were £17,300,000 (2015: £6,971,000). The Group’s secured long term loans are secured by way of fixed and floating charges over the assets of subsidiaries as well as MeyGen Limited’s shares. There was no breach of any loan covenants during the year. At the reporting date, the Company does not consider it probable that a claim will be made against the Company under the guarantees as described above. The Group’s and the Company’s exposures to interest rate, foreign currency and liquidity risks are described in Note 27. 67 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 21. DEFERRED TAX LIABILITIES Movements in deferred tax liabilities of the Group are as follows: At 31 December 2015 and 2016 Group 2016 £’000 3,830 2015 £’000 3,830 The deferred tax liability was recognised due to the fair valuation of the seabed option and tidal data upon acquisition of MeyGen in 2013. Tax losses arising from the MCT acquisition in 2015 which are available for utilisation against future taxable income amounted to £26,096,000 at the acquisition date. As the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liability relate to the same jurisdiction, deferred tax assets can be offset against the deferred tax liability. Deferred tax assets recognised were capped at the amount of deferred tax liability recognised. Deferred tax liability is calculated based on the fair value adjustments to the seabed options and Marine Current Turbine technology at the local statutory tax rate. 22. SHARE CAPITAL Issued and paid up during the year: At 1 January 2015 Issued in business combination Public offerings issued for cash Transaction costs incurred in relation to share issuance At 31 December 2015 Public offerings issued for cash Transaction costs incurred in relation to share issuance Group and Company Number of ordinary shares with no par value ’000 89,204 9,912 5,952 – 105,068 11,888 – £’000 78,483 4,212 2,500 (277) 84,918 6,539 (237) At 31 December 2016 116,956 91,220 On 1 July 2015, the Company successfully completed the acquisition of MCT from Siemens.

The inputs into the model for share options granted during the period are as follows: Fair value of options on date of grant Date of grant Share price Exercise price Expected volatility Expected life Risk free rate Expected dividend yield Share options granted in 2016 Share options granted in 2014 £0.07 ~ £0.34 2016 £0.35 ~ £0.74 £0.50 ~ £0.70 £0.12 2014 £0.94 £0.94 42.64% ~ 56.94% 56.94% 3 years 0.75% ~ 1.56% 0% 3 years 2.75% 0% Expected volatility was determined by calculating the historical volatility of comparable companies in the same industry. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non – transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations. The Group and the Company recognised total expenses of £113,000 (2015: £872,000), related to equity-settled share- based payment transactions during the year and this is included as part of employee benefits expense. 26. EARNINGS PER SHARE The calculation of earnings per share is based on the profit/(loss) after tax and on the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during each year. (Loss)/ Profit after tax Weighted average number of shares (Loss)/Earnings per share Basic and diluted (7,264) 2,028 112,994 95,827 (0.06) 2016 £’000 2015 £’000 2016 £’000 2015 £’000 2016 £’000 Issued ordinary shares at 1 January Effect of shares issued related to business combination Public offerings and issued for cash Group 2016 ’000 105,068 – 7,926 2015 £’000 0.02 2015 ’000 89,204 4,454 2,169 Weighted average number of shares at end of the year 112,994 95,827 Share options were excluded from the diluted weighted-average number of ordinary shares calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The average market value of the Company’s shares for purposes of calculating the dilutive effect of share options was based on quoted market prices for the period during which the options were outstanding. 71 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 27. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, FINANCIAL RISKS AND CAPITAL RISKS MANAGEMENT The Group is exposed to various financial risks arising in the normal course of business. It has adopted financial risk management policies and utilised a variety of techniques to manage its exposure to these risks. (a) Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations, resulting in financial loss to the Group. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset as at the end of the reporting period.

At the end of the reporting period, the carrying amounts of monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in currencies other than the respective Group entities’ functional currencies are as follows: Group Company Liabilities Assets Liabilities Assets 2016 £’000 2015 £’000 2016 £’000 2015 £’000 2016 £’000 Australian dollars British pounds Euros United States dollars Canadian dollars Singapore dollars – – 19 4 – 24 13 532 – 530 – – – – 39 1 1,236 8 34 94 59 2 910 – – – – 4 – 24 2015 £’000 14 254 – 2 – – 2016 £’000 – – – – 1,236 8 2015 £’000 9 12,018 1 3 910 – 74 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 27. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, FINANCIAL RISKS AND CAPITAL RISKS MANAGEMENT continued Foreign currency sensitivity The sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk is 10%, which is the sensitivity rate which represents management’s assessment of the likely potential change in foreign exchange rates. If the relevant foreign currencies were to strengthen by 10% against the functional currency of each Group entity, profit and loss (before tax) and equity will increase (decrease) by: Group Company Equity Profit and loss (before tax) Equity Profit and loss (before tax) 2016 £’000 2015 £’000 2016 £’000 2015 £’000 2016 £’000 2015 £’000 2016 £’000 2015 £’000 – – – – 124 – – – – – 91 – – – 2 –* – (2) 2 (44) 6 (53) – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –* 124 (2) (1) 1,176 –* –* 91 – Australian dollars British pounds Euros United States dollars Canadian dollars Singapore dollars * denotes amount less than £1,000 If the relevant foreign currency weakens by 10% against the functional currency of each Group entity, the effects on profit and loss and equity will be vice versa. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk arises from the potential change in interest rates that may have an adverse effect on the Group in the current reporting year or in future years. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is limited to the effects of fluctuation in bank interest rate on cash and cash equivalents as well as LIBOR rates on certain loans and borrowings. For variable rate financial instruments, a change of 100 basis points (bps) in interest rate with all other variables held constant would increase/decrease profit/loss before tax by £22,000 (2015: £3,000). Equity price risk The Group is not exposed to equity price risks as it does not hold any quoted equity investments. Capital management policies and objectives The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balances. The capital structure of the Group and the Company consists of equity attributable to owners of the parent and loans and borrowings amounting to £90,879,000 (2015: £72,655,000) and £43,750,000 (2015: £38,436,000), respectively. There are no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the financial year. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. Except for one subsidiary which is subject to loan restrictions and dividend distributions, none of the other subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements. 75 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 27.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD Subsequent to 31 December 2016, the significant events of the Group are as follows:- (a) (b) In January, the European Commission awarded £17.3 million (€20.3 million) in Horizon 2020 grant funding for the DEMOTIDE project, which will design, build and operate a 6MW turbine array, MeyGen Phase 1B, in the Inner Sound of the Pentland Firth in northern Scotland. The DEMOTIDE project will demonstrate the technical and commercial viability of drilled foundation systems and larger rotor diameter turbines, further de-risking the industry and providing a robust path to significant cost reduction in the European tidal power sector. In March 2017, Atlantis signed a Preferred Supplier Agreement (“PSA”) with SBS INTL LTD (“SBS”), a privately- owned international marine, subsea and renewable energy project developer, for the supply of turbines, engineering services and equipment for a 150MW (megawatt) tidal-stream array located in Lombok, Indonesia. SBS is a UK project developer with a branch office and IPP (Independent Power Producer) in Jakarta. The project will be supported via a 25-year PPA with PT. Perusahan Listrik Negara (“PLN”), the state-owned electrical utility company. (c) On 12 May 2017, the Group signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement (“SPA”) with Hyundai Engineering and Construction Co. Ltd regarding the development of ocean power renewable projects globally. The initial objectives of the SPA are to progress the design, development and delivery of tidal stream projects in South East Asia. (d) On 24 May 2017, the Company raised £4.05 million, before expenses, through the conditional placing of 9 million new ordinary shares at a placing price of 45 pence per share. 79 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 33. SEGMENT INFORMATION (a) Operating segments The Group is principally engaged in generating energy from tidal current power generation projects, development of these projects, as well as turbine and engineering services. In addition to the development of power projects, the power generation division currently focuses on the development of the MeyGen tidal energy project, whereas the turbine and engineering services division focuses on the development and delivery of turbines and technology solutions for projects worldwide. The divisions are managed separately because they require different expertise and marketing strategies. The Board of directors, who are chief operating decision makers, review internal management reports for each division regularly, in relation to the capital expenditure, resources allocation and funding availability of the three divisions. Other operations include the provision of corporate services which does not meet any of the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments in 2016 and 2015. There are varying levels of integration between the power generation and turbine and engineering services divisions, including the delivery of a turbine from the turbine and engineering services to the power generation division. Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. 2016 External revenues Inter-segment revenue Interest revenue Interest expense Depreciation and amortisation Power generation £’000 Turbine and engineering services £’000 Project development £’000 – – – – – 235 3,091 15 (1,001) (732) (9,173) Total £’000 235 3,091 15 (1,001) (732) (7,541) – 128,680 29,426 – – – – – (550) – 8,166 6,580 Reportable segment profit/(loss) before tax 2,182 Other material non-cash items: – Impairment losses on property, plant and equipment Reportable segment assets Capital expenditure – – 76,193 44,321 22,846 – Reportable segment liabilities (39,940) (32,536) (16,908) (89,384) 80 ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITEDAND ITS SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continuedYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 33.
