STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED 

COMPANY UPDATE 

Update on Company Strategy 

Strike continues to examine a range of new strategies for the Company in light of the poor outlook for  the iron 
ore sector and the resources sector in general.  

In  this  regard,  Strike  has  been  investigating  a  number  of  technology  related  ventures  which  could  form  the 
foundation for a new strategy for the Company. 

Any such change will necessarily be subject to Strike shareholder approval and compliance with the ASX Listing 
Rules and Corporations Act. 

In relation to the Company’s Apurimac and Cusco Iron Ore Projects in Peru, Strike has consolidated its holding of 
mineral concessions to the core concessions where JORC Resources have been delineated as well as a number 
of neighbouring concessions which have strategic value associated with the projects  – this has reduced Strike’s 
holding costs in Peru and provides Strike with the flexibility to pursue opportunities to realise value from these iron 
ore assets in the future if and when favourable market conditions return. 

Financial Position 

As  at  30  September  2015,  Strike  had  net  assets  of  ~$7.1  million  (comprising  ~$8.1  million  gross  cash  less 
provisions/accruals/trade creditors of ~$1 million) (30 June 2015: ~$7.6 million net assets comprising ~$8.4 million 
cash less provisions/accruals/trade creditors of ~$0.8 million).  

Bentley Capital’s Takeover Bid for Strike 

On  2  September  2015,  Bentley  completed  its  off-market  5.5  cent  per  share  cash  takeover  bid1  for  Strike,  with 
acceptances received totalling 52,553,493 Strike shares (representing a 36.16% relevant interest in Strike). 

Board and Corporate Changes 

There has been a number of Board and corporate changes recently1: 

 

 

 

 

Farooq  Khan  was  appointed a  Director  with effect on  1  October 2015 -  Farooq Khan  was  an Alternate 
Director  to  Victor  Ho  (20 January  2014  to  1  October  2015)  and has  been previously  a  Director  of  Strike 
(between  3  September  1999  and  3  February  2011),  including  as  the  founding  Executive  Chairman  and 
Managing Director after the Company’s IPO in March 2000. 

Victor Ho was appointed Company Secretary with effect on 30 September, replacing  David Palumbo (a 
representative of Mining Corporate) - Victor Ho is currently a Director of Strike (since 20 January 2014) and 
has previously been a Company Secretary of Strike (between 9 March 2000 and 30 April 2010). 

Mining  Corporate’s  engagement  for  the  provision  of  outsourced  accounting  and  company  secretarial 
services to the Company will cease at the end of October.  The Board thanks David Palumbo and Mining 
Corporate for their professionalism and support to Strike. 

Strike  changed  its  Perth  office  on  1  October  2015  as  a  consequence  of  the  transition  out  of  Mining 
Corporate. 

Samantha Tough has advised the Board that she intends to retire and not seek re-election at the upcoming Annual 
General Meeting (to be held on 30 November 2015), to focus on her other non-executive director roles.

STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED 

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Your Directors present their report on the Consolidated Entity consisting of Strike Resources Limited (“Company” 
or “Strike”) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2015.  

Directors 

The following persons were Directors of Strike during the whole of the financial year and up to the date of this report: 

Malcolm Richmond  

Matthew Hammond 

William Johnson 

Samantha Tough  

Victor Ho  

Farooq Khan  

Principal Activities 

The  principal  activities  of  the  Consolidated  Entity  during  the  financial  year  were  the  pursuit  of  opportunities  for 
realisation of value from Consolidated Entity’s interest in the Apurimac and Cusco Iron Ore Projects located in Peru, 
South America and consideration of alternative business strategies. 

Dividends 

No dividends have been paid or declared during the financial year.  At the date of this report, no dividend has been 
recommended for payment in respect of the reporting period. 

Review of Operations  

During the year, no activity was undertaken on the Company’s iron ore projects in Peru as the Company continued 
to examine a range of new strategies for the Company in light of the poor outlook for the iron ore sector and the 
resources sector in general.  

A number of parties expressed interest in the Company’s Peru assets during the year. One conditional purchase 
offer was received, but the commercial terms offered were considered unacceptable by the Board. 

A number of non-core mineral concessions in Peru were allowed to lapse on 30 June 2015, significantly reducing 
the Company’s annual expenditure commitment in Peru. The Company continues to hold those core concessions 
in  Peru  which  contain  its  JORC  Resources  of  iron  ore  in  Apurimac  and  Cusco,  as  well  as  some  neighbouring 
concessions which have strategic value associated with the projects.  

Whilst  some  of  these  core  concessions  remain  the  subject  of  a  number  of  ongoing  legal  claims  in  Peru,  the 
Company remains of the view that these claims are spurious and without merit and the Company’s lawyers in Peru 
continue to successfully defend against these claims. 

The Company continues to conserve its cash resources, holding a balance of approximately $8.37 million in cash 
as of 30 June 2015. All corporate secretarial, compliance and accounting services are outsourced. The Company 
has no full time employees (apart from the Managing Director) and the Company holds no long term office lease 
commitments. 

Significant Changes in the State of Affairs 

In July 2014,  the  Company  received  an  offer to  acquire  its Peru  assets.  However,  the  Company  was  unable to 
reach an agreement with the party making the offer. On 8 August 2014, the offer was withdrawn. 

On  8  April  2015,  the  Company  announced  that it has  received  resolutions  from  the  Peruvian  Tax  Administrator 
(“SUNAT”)  which  have  predominately  ruled  in  favour  of  a  claim  made  by  the  Company’s  subsidiary,  Apurimac 
Ferrum S.A.C. As a result, the Company was able to reverse A$1.1 million of its A$1.7 million accrual that it has 
previously made for withholdings taxes.  

On 30 June 2015 the Company received an unsolicited off-market takeover bid by Bentley Capital Limited (ASX: 
BEL,  “Bentley”)  (“the  Offer”),  whose  Chairman,  Farooq  Khan,  is  Strike’s  Alternative  Director  to  Non-Executive 
Director Victor Ho (who is also Company Secretary of Bentley). Strike Managing Director, William Johnson is also 
a Non-Executive Director of Bentley.

STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED 

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Events since the End of the Financial Year 

On  2  July  2015  the  Company  announced  that  a  Takeover  Response  Committee  of  Company’s  independent 
directors, being the Chairman, Mr Malcolm Richmond, Ms Samantha Tough and Mr Matthew Hammond had been 
established  to  respond  to  the  Offer.  The  Company  also  announced  that  following  completion  of  the  Offer 
(irrespective of the outcome of the Offer), Ms Samantha Tough intended to resign from the Company Board to focus 
on her other non-executive director roles. 

In July 2015, Bentley Capital Limited lodged its Bidder’s Statement relating to the Offer with ASIC and dispatched 
the same to Strike’s shareholders. 

In August 2015, the Company lodged its Target Statement in response to the Offer. 

The Bid closed on 2 September 2015 and a total of 52,553,493 shares representing 36.16% of the Company’s 
issued capital were acquired by Bentley during the bid. Bentley as a consequence is now the Company’s largest 
shareholder. 

Likely Developments and Expected Results of Operations 

The Company will continue to pursue opportunities to realise value from its Peru assets. The Company maintains 
legal title to the key mineral concessions in Peru through payment of appropriate annual fees and penalties, with 
the next scheduled payments due in June 2016. The Company also continues to ensure that its valuable project 
drilling cores and samples in Peru are stored securely.  

The Company retains a strong balance with cash of approximately $8.37 million. With outsourced accounting and 
company secretarial services and no long term office lease expenses, corporate overhead is relatively low.  

The Company is reviewing alternative business strategies in light of the difficult market conditions facing iron ore 
and the resources sector in general.

In  doing  this,  the  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  seeks  advice  from  independent  remuneration 
consultants and consults market and industry surveys. There was no advice received during the current financial 
year. 

Ultimate responsibility for the Company’s remuneration and nomination policies and practices remains with the full 
Board.  

The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on the role of this Committee. 

A copy of Strike’s Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter can be found on the Company’s website at 
www.strikeresources.com.au. 

Non-Executive Director Remuneration Policy 

Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, 
the directors. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible to review Non-Executive Directors’ fees 
annually  and  makes  recommendation  to  the  Board.  The  Board  has  also  considered  the  advice  of  independent 
market  consultants  to  ensure  Non-Executive  Directors’  fees  and  payments  are  appropriate  and  in  line  with  the 
market.  The  Chair’s  fees  are  determined  independently  to  the  fees  of  Non-Executive  Directors’  based  on 
comparative roles in the external market.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Pursuant to the Company’s Constitution, each Director is entitled to receive: 

 

 

Payment for the performance of extra services and the undertaking of any executive or other work 
for the Company beyond his or her general duties; and 

Payment for travelling and other expenses properly incurred by a Director in attending meetings of 
the Company or the Board or in connection with the Company’s business. 

Historically the Board had resolved to remunerate Non-Executive Directors for work over and above that included 
in their base Director’s fee under a Special Exertion Policy. Where additional services are approved by the Board 
the Non-Executive Director is entitled to receive $350 per hour plus reimbursement of expenses. 

With  the  exception  of  the  above  Special  Exertion  Policy,  Non-Executive  Directors  do  not  receive  performance-
based pay. The Board had also previously resolved and issued Non-Executive Directors with options at various 
exercise prices and maturity dates as deemed appropriate at that time, however, in line with Corporate Governance 
Principles and Recommendations this is no longer the practice. 

Directors’ fees 

Non-executive  Directors’  fees  are  determined  within an  aggregate  Directors’  fee pool  limit,  which is  periodically 
recommended  for  approval  by  shareholders.  The  maximum  currently  stands  at  $500,000  per  annum  and  was 
approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting on 25 November 2009. 

The Chair’s remuneration was reviewed upon his appointment, in February 2011.  

Each Non-Executive Director receives $45,000 per year, except for Ms Tough. Ms Tough receives a higher fee, 
being the market rate that the Company determined was appropriate at the time she was appointed.  

During the year the aggregate fees paid or due to be paid to Non-Executive Directors of the Company were as 
follows:

The Director’s fee for Mr Hammond was reviewed in October 2010.

Mr Ho was appointed as a Non-Executive Director on 20 January 2014. His Director’s fee was approved upon appointment. 
Mr Khan was appointed as an alternate Director for Mr Ho on 20 January 2014.  

Retirement Allowances for Non-Executive Directors 

In line with the guidance from the ASX Corporate Governance Council on Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration, 
no  Non-Executive  Directors  receive  retirement  allowances.  Superannuation  contributions  required  under  the 
Australian superannuation guarantee legislation continue to be made and are deducted from the directors’ overall 
fee entitlements.  

Executive Remuneration Policy and Framework 

In determining executive remuneration, the Board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are: 

 

 

 

 

competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent 

aligned to the Company’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder value 

transparent, and 

acceptable to shareholders. 

The executive remuneration framework has three components: 

 

 

 

base pay and benefits, including superannuation 

short-term performance incentives, and 

long-term incentives through participation in the Strike Resources Limited Employee Option Plan.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Base Pay and Benefits 

Executives receive their base pay and benefits structured as a total employment cost (TEC) package which may 
be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits at the executive’s discretion. 

Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards. Independent 
remuneration consultants and/or reports provide analysis and advice to ensure base pay is set to reflect the market 
for a comparable role. Base pay for executives is also reviewed on promotion. 

The Managing Director’s contract was amended during the financial year resulting in a reduction of base pay to 
$208,000 per annum effective 1 May 2015 and the termination notice period changed from 6 months to 1 month.  

There are no guaranteed base pay increases included in the executives’ contracts. 

Short-term Incentives 

The Managing Director has the opportunity to earn an annual short-term incentive (STI) if predefined targets are 
achieved. The targets are reviewed annually. 

There were no STI targets set by the Remuneration Committee for the Managing Director during 2015 financial 
year. 

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for assessing whether the KPIs are met. To assist in 
this assessment, the Committee receives detailed reports on performance from management which are verified by 
industry surveys and, where deemed appropriate, independent remuneration consultants. The Committee will make 
recommendations  to  the  Board  to  adjust  short-term  incentives  downwards  in  light  of  unexpected  or  unintended 
circumstances.  Other  senior  executives  currently  do  not  have  any  short  term  incentives  such  as  cash  bonuses 
included in their employment contracts. The executives’ performance is assessed on an annual basis and bonuses 
may be awarded on achievement of key performance objectives by recommendation of the Managing Director and 
at the discretion of the Board. 

Long-term Incentives 

Long-term incentives are provided to certain employees via the Strike Resources Limited Employee Option Plan 
which was approved by shareholders at the 6 November 2008 annual general meeting. The Employee Option Plan 
was subsequently amended on 8 November 2011. 

The Strike Resources Limited Employee Option Plan is designed to provide long-term incentives for executives to 
deliver long-term shareholder returns. Under the plan, participants are granted options which are vested on issue. 
The Board has discretion to determine the exercise price and maturity date. Participation in the plan is at Board 
discretion and will often form part of an employment contract. 

Director options were granted during the 2013 financial year which contributed to the Managing Director’s long-term 
incentives.   

Share Trading Policy 

The Company’s Share Trading Policy regulates all Directors’ and, employees’ of Strike Resources Limited and its 
subsidiaries, and certain contractors’, dealings in the Company’s securities. The Policy prohibits: 

 

 

subscribing for, purchasing or selling Company securities or entering into an agreement to do any of 
those things; and 

advising,  procuring  or  encouraging  another  person  (including  a  family  member,  friend,  associate, 
colleague, family company or family trust) to trade in Company securities, 

whilst  in  possession  of  market-sensitive  information,  prior  to  disclosure  of  that  information  to  the  market  and 
thereafter until adequate time has elapsed for this to be reflected in the security’s price, in accordance with the 
Corporations  Act  2001.  The  Policy  also  prohibits  communicating  inside  information  to  any  other  person  when 
directors, employees of Strike Resources Limited and its subsidiaries, and certain contractors should reasonably 
know that they may deal in the Company’s securities or encourage another person to do so. 

In  order  to  further  reduce  the  risk  of  inappropriate  securities  dealing,  directors,  employees  of  Strike  Resources 
Limited  and  its  subsidiaries,  and  certain  contractors,  must  not  deal  in  Company  securities  without  the  written 
consent  of  the  “Trading  Officers”  nominated  in  the  Company’s  Share  Trading  Policy.  Consent  will  not  be  given 
during certain “Prohibited Periods” before key reporting dates or while inside information exists.  

Directors,  employees  of  Strike  Resources  Limited  and  its  subsidiaries,  and  certain  contractors  must  inform  the 
Company Secretary of all transactions they enter into involving the Company’s securities to enable disclosure to 
the market, where required.

appointment  is  later  ratified  by  shareholders  at  the  next  general  meeting.  No  formal  service  agreements  are 
executed for Non-Executive Directors. On the appointment to the Board, the Company enters into a deed with each 
Non-Executive Director to regulate certain matters between the Company and that Non-Executive Director, however 
Matthew Hammond has not executed such a deed.

Insurance of Officer 

The Directors have not included details of the nature of the liabilities covered or the amount of premiums paid in 
respect of a Directors’ and Officers’ liability and legal expenses insurance contract, as such disclosure is prohibited 
under the terms of the contract. 

The  Company  has  entered  into  deeds  of  indemnity  with  each  director  whereby,  to  the  extent  permitted  by  the 
Corporations Act 2001, the Company agreed to indemnify each director against all loss and liability incurred as an 
officer of the Company, including all liability in defending any relevant proceedings.  

Environmental Regulation  

The  Consolidated  Entity  notes  the  reporting  requirements  of  both  the  Energy  Efficiency  Opportunities  Act  2006 
(“EEOA”) and the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (“NGERA”).  

The Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006 requires an affected company to assess its energy usage, including 
the  identification,  investigation  and  evaluation  of  energy  saving  opportunities,  and  to  report  publicly  on  the 
assessments undertaken, including what action the company intends to take as a result.   

The  Consolidated  Entity  has determined  that  it  does  not  operate  a  recognised  facility  requiring  registration  and 
reporting under the NGERA and, in any event it would fall under the threshold of greenhouse gas emissions required 
for registration and reporting.  Similarly, the Consolidated Entity’s energy consumption would fall under the threshold 
required for registration and reporting under the EEOA. 

The  Consolidated  Entity  is  not  otherwise  subject  to  any  particular  or  significant  environmental  regulation  under 
either Commonwealth or State legislation. To the extent that any environmental regulations may have an incidental 
impact  on  the  Consolidated  Entity's  operations,  the  Directors  are  not  aware  of  any  breach  by  the  Consolidated 
Entity of those regulations.  

Proceedings on Behalf of the Company 

No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings 
on behalf of the Company or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party, for the purpose of 
taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings. 

No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on behalf of the Company with leave of the Court under section 
237 of the Corporations Act 2001.

STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation 
of  these  consolidated  financial  statements  are  set  out 
below. These policies have been consistently applied to all 
years  presented,  unless  otherwise  stated.  The  financial 
statements  are  for  the  consolidated  entity  consisting  of 
Strike Resources Limited and its subsidiaries. 

a.  Basis of Preparation 
These  general  purpose  financial  statements  have  been 
prepared 
in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting 
Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  Board  and  the  Corporations  Act 
2001. Strike Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the 
purpose of preparing the financial statements. 

i.  Compliance with IFRS 
The consolidated financial statements of Strike Resources 
Limited also comply with International Financial Reporting 
(“IFRS”)  as 
International 
Standards 
Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

issued  by 

the 

ii.  New  and  amended  standards  adopted  by the 

Consolidated Entity 

The consolidated entity has applied the following standards 
and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting 
period commencing 1 July 2014: 

 

Interpretation 21 Accounting for Levies 

  AASB  2013-3  Amendments 

to  AASB  136  – 
Recoverable  Amount  Disclosures  for  Non-Financial 
Assets 

  AASB  2013-4  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting 
Standards – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation 
of Hedge Accounting 

  AASB  2014-1  Amendments  to  Australia  Accounting 

Standards 

The consolidated entity also elected to adopt the following 
standards early: 

  AASB2014-3  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting 
Standards  –  Accounting  for  Acquisition  of  Interests  in 
Joint Operations 

  AASB  2014-4  Clarification  of  Acceptable  Methods  of 

Depreciation and Amortisation 

  AASB 2014-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an 
investor and its Associate or Joint Venture 

  AASB  2015-1  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting 
to  Australian 

Standards  –  Annual 
Improvements 
Accounting Standards 2012-2014 Cycle 

  AASB  2015-3  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting 
Standards  arising  from  the  withdrawal  of  AASB  1031 
Materiality 

  AASB  2013-9  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting 
Standards  –  Conceptual  Framework,  Materiality  and 
Financial Instruments 

None of the new Standards and amendments to Standards 
that are mandatory or early adopted for the first time for the 
financial  year  beginning  1  July  2014  affected  any  of  the 
amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period 
and are not likely to affect future periods. Additionally, they 
did not significantly affect the Group’s accounting policies or 
any of the disclosures. 

iii.  Early adoption of standards 
The  Consolidated  Entity  has  not  elected  to  apply  any 
pronouncements  before their  operative  date  in the  annual 
reporting period beginning 1 July 2014 apart from the early 
adoption of AASB 9 ‘Financial Instruments’. 

iv.   Historical cost convention 
These financial statements have been prepared under the 
historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of 
financial assets and liabilities at fair value though profit or 
loss, assets of disposal group held for sale and capitalised 
exploration and evaluation expenditure. 

v.  Critical accounting estimates   
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of 
certain  critical  accounting  estimates.  It  also  requires 
management  to  exercise  its  judgement  in  the  process  of 
applying the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies. The 
area involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, 
or area where assumptions and estimates are significant to 
the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3. 

b.  Principles of Consolidation 

i.  Subsidiaries 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the 
assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Strike Resources 
Limited (“Company” or “Strike”) as at 30 June 2015 and the 
results  of  all  subsidiaries  for  the  year  then  ended.  Strike 
Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred 
to in this financial report as Consolidated Entity. 

Subsidiaries  are  all  entities  (including  structured  entities) 
over  which  the  group  has  control.  The  group  controls  an 
entity  when  the  group  is  exposed  to,  or  has  rights  to, 
variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has 
the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct 
the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated 
from the date on which control is transferred to the group. 
They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. 

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which 
control  is transferred  to  the  Consolidated Entity.  They  are 
de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for 
business  combinations  by 
the  Consolidated  Entity. 
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains 
on transactions between group companies are eliminated. 
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction 
provides  evidence  of 
the  assets 
transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been 
changed  where  necessary  to  ensure  consistency  with  the 
policies adopted by the group. 

impairment  of 

the 

Non-controlling  interests  in  the  results  and  equity  of 
subsidiaries  are  shown  separately  in  the  Consolidated 
Statement  of  Profit  or  Loss  and  Other  Comprehensive 
Income, Statement of Changes in Equity, and Consolidated 
Statement of Financial Position respectively. 

ii.  Changes in ownership interests 
The  Consolidated  Entity  treats  transactions  with  non-
controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as 
transactions with equity owners of the Consolidated Entity. 
A  change  in  ownership  interest  results  in  an  adjustment 
between  the  carrying  amounts  of the  controlling  and  non-
controlling interests  to  reflect their  relative  interests  in the 
subsidiary.  Any  difference  between  the  amount  of  the 
interests  and  any 
adjustment 
consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate 
reserve  within  equity  attributable  to  owners  of  Strike 
Resources Limited. 

to  non-controlling 

When  the  Consolidated  Entity  ceases  to  have  control  or 
significant  influence,  any  retained  interest  in  the  entity  is 
remeasured  to  its  fair  value  with  the  change  in  carrying 
amount  recognised  in  profit  or  loss.  The  fair  value  is  the 
initial  carrying  amount  for  the  purposes  of  subsequently 
accounting for retained interest as an associate. In addition,

Comprehensive  Income  in  respect  of  that  entity  are 
accounted  for  as  if  the  Consolidated  Entity  had  directly 
disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean 
that

previously 

amounts 

If  the  ownership  interest  in  an  associate  is  reduced  but 
significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the 
amounts  previously  recognised  in  Other  Comprehensive 
Income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate. 

c.  Segment Reporting 
Operating  segments  are  reported  in  a  manner  consistent 
with  the  internal  reporting  provided  to  the  Managing 
Director. The Managing Director is responsible for allocating 
resources  and  assessing  performance  of  the  operating 
segments. 

d.  Foreign Currency Translation 

i.  Functional and presentation currency 
Items included in the financial statements of each company 
in the Consolidated Entity are measured using the currency 
of  the  primary  economic  environment  in  which  the  entity 
operates  (“the  functional  currency”).  The  consolidated 
financial  statements  are  presented  in  Australian  dollars, 
which 
functional  and 
presentation currency. 

is  Strike  Resources  Limited’s 

ii.  Transactions and balances 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional 
currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of 
the  transactions.  Foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses 
resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from 
the translation at the year-end exchange rates of monetary 
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are 
recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss 
and  Other  Comprehensive Income,  except  when  they  are 
deferred  in  equity  as  qualifying  cash  flow  hedges  and 
qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part 
of  the  net  investment  in  a  foreign  operation.  Foreign 
exchange  gains  or  losses  that  relate  to  borrowings  are 
presented in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss 
and Other Comprehensive Income within finance costs. All 
other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in 
the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Profit  or  Loss  and  Other 
Comprehensive Income on a net basis within other income 
or operating expenses. 

Non-monetary  items  that  are  measured  at  fair  value  in  a 
foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at 
the  date  when  the  fair  value  was  determined.  Translation 
differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are 
reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. 

iii.  Group companies 
The  results  and  financial  position  of  foreign  operations 
(none  of  which  has  the  currency  of  a  hyperinflationary 
economy) that have a functional currency different from the 
presentation  currency  are  translated  into  the  presentation 
currency as follows: 

  assets  and  liabilities  for  each  statement  of  financial 
position presented are translated at the closing rate at 
the date of that statement of financial position 

 

income  and  expenses  for  Consolidated  Statement  of 
Profit  or  Loss  and  Other  Comprehensive  Income  are 
translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not 
a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of 
the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which 
case income and expenses are translated at the dates 
of the transactions), and 

  all  resulting  exchange  differences  are  recognised  in 

Other Comprehensive Income. 

On  consolidation,  exchange  differences  arising  from  the 
translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of 
borrowings  and  other  financial  instruments  designated  as 

hedges  of  such  investments,  are  recognised  in  Other 
Comprehensive Income. When a foreign operation is sold 
or  any  borrowings  forming  part  of  the  net  investment  are 
repaid, 
the  associated  exchange  differences  are 
reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on 
sale. 

fair  value  adjustments  arising  on 

Goodwill  and 
the 
acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and 
liabilities  of  the  foreign  operation  and  translated  at  the 
closing rate. 

e.  Revenue Recognition 
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration 
received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are 
net  of  returns,  trade  allowances,  rebates  and  amounts 
collected on behalf of third parties. 

The  Consolidated  Entity  recognises  revenue  when  the 
amount of revenue can be reliably measured. It is probable 
that  future  economic  benefits  will  flow  to  the  entity  and 
specific criteria have been met for each of the Consolidated 
Entity’s  activities  as  described  below.  The  Consolidate 
Entity  bases  its  estimates  on  historical  results, taking  into 
consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction 
and the specifics of each arrangement. 

Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as 
follows: 

i.  Consultancy fees 
Revenue 
accounting period in which the services are rendered. 

from  consulting  services 

is  recognised 

in 

the 

ii.  Sale of goods and disposal of assets 
Revenue from the sale of goods and disposal of other assets is 
recognised when the Consolidated Entity has passed control 
and the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods/assets 
to the buyer. 

iii.  Interest income 

Interest  income  is  recognised  using  the  effective  interest 
method. When  a  receivable is  impaired,  the  Consolidated 
Entity  reduces  the  carrying  amount  to  its  recoverable 
amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at 
the  original  effective  interest  rate  of  the  instrument,  and 
continues  unwinding  the  discount  as  interest  income. 
Interest income on impaired loans is recognised using the 
original effective interest rate. 

iv.  Dividends 
Dividends  are  recognised  as  revenue  when  the  right  to 
receive payment is established. This applies even if they are 
paid out of pre-acquisition profits. However, the investment 
may need to be tested for impairment as a consequence, 
refer note 1(k).  

v.  Other revenues 
Other revenues are recognised on a receipts basis. 

Income Tax 

f. 
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax 
payable  on  the  current  period’s  taxable  income  based  on 
the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted 
by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable 
to  temporary  differences  and  for  unused  tax  losses.  The 
current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the 
tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the 
reporting  period  in  the  countries  where  the  Company’s 
subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable 
income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken 
in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable 
tax  regulation  is  subject  to  interpretation.  It  establishes 
provisions  where  appropriate  on  the  basis  of  amounts 
expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Deferred  income  tax  is  provided  in  full,  using  the  liability 
method, on temporary differences arising  between the tax 
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in 
the  consolidated  financial  statements.  However,  deferred 
tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial 
recognition  of  goodwill.  Deferred  income  tax  is  also  not 
accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset 
or 
than  a  business 
transaction  other 
combination  that  at  the  time  of  the  transaction  affects 
neither  accounting  nor  taxable  profit  or  loss.  Deferred 
income  tax  is  determined  using  tax  rates  (and  laws)  that 
have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of 
the  reporting  period  and  are  expected  to  apply  when  the 
related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred 
income tax liability is settled. 

liability 

in  a 

recognised 

tax  assets  are 

for  deductible 
Deferred 
temporary  differences  and  unused  tax  losses  only  if  it  is 
probable  that  future  taxable  amounts  will  be  available  to 
utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax 
assets  and  liabilities  are  not  recognised  for  temporary 
differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of 
investments  in  foreign  operations  where  the  Company  is 
able  to  control the timing  of  the  reversal  of  the  temporary 
differences  and  it  is  probable  that  the  differences  will  not 
reverse in the foreseeable future. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a 
legally  enforceable  right  to  offset  current  tax  assets  and 
liabilities, and when the deferred tax balances relate to the 
same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities 
are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to 
offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise 
the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

Current  and  deferred  tax  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss, 
except  to  the  extent  that  it  relates  to  items  recognised  in 
Other  Comprehensive  Income  or  directly  in  equity.  In  this 
case,  the  tax  is  also  recognised  in  Other  Comprehensive 
Income or directly in equity, respectively. 

g.  Leases 
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and 
rewards of ownership are not transferred to the 
Consolidated Entity as lessee are classified as operating 
leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of 
any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the 
Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the 
period of the lease. 

h.  Impairment of Assets 
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful 
life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually 
for  impairment  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in 
circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other 
assets  are  tested  for  impairment  whenever  events  or 
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount 
may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised 
for  the  amount  by  which  the  asset’s  carrying  amount 
exceeds its recoverable amount.  The recoverable amount 
is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and 
value  in  use.  For  the  purpose  of  assessing  impairment, 
assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which they are 
separately  identifiable  cash  inflows  which  are  largely 
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group 
of  assets  (cash-generating  units).  Non-financial  assets 
other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed 
for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each 
reporting period. 

the  purpose  of  presentation 

i.  Cash and Cash Equivalents 
For 
in  the  Consolidate 
Statement  of  Cash  Flows,  cash  and  cash  equivalents 
includes cash on hand,  deposits held at call with financial 
institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with 
original maturities  of  three months  or  less  that  are  readily 

convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject 
to  an  insignificant  risk  of  changes  in  value,  and  bank 
overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in 
current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial 
Position. 

j.  Trade Receivables 
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and 
subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the 
effective  interest  method,  less  provision  for  impairment. 
Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within  
30  days.  They  are  presented  as  current  assets  unless 
collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the 
reporting date. 

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing 
basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written 
off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance 
account  (provision  for  impairment  of  trade  receivables)  is 
used when there is objective evidence that the Consolidated 
Entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according 
to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial 
difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter 
bankruptcy  or  financial  reorganisation,  and  default  or 
delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are 
considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. 
The amount of the impairment allowance 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.  Cash  flows  relating  to  short-term 
receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is 
immaterial. 

The  amount  of  impairment  loss  is  recognised  in  the 
Consolidated  Statement  of  Profit  or  Loss  and  Other 
Comprehensive  Income  within  other  expenses.  When  a 
trade  receivable  for  which  an  impairment  allowance  had 
been  recognised  becomes  uncollectable  in  a  subsequent 
period,  it  is  written  off  against  the  allowance  account. 
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are 
credited against other expenses in profit or loss. 

k.  Investments 

and  Other 

Financial  Assets 

Classification 

The Consolidated Entity classifies its financial assets in the 
following  categories:  financial  assets  at  fair  value  through 
profit or loss, and loans and receivables. The classification 
depends  on  the  purpose  for  which  the  investments  were 
acquired.  Management  determines the  classification  of  its 
investment at initial recognition. 

i.  Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
Financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  are 
financial  assets  held  for  trading.  A  financial  asset  is 
classified  in  this  category  if  acquired  principally  for  the 
purpose of selling in the short term. Assets in this category 
are classified as current assets if they are expected to be 
settled  within  12  months;  otherwise  they  are  classified  as 
non-current. 

ii.  Loans and receivables 
Loans  and  receivables  are  non-derivative  financial  assets 
with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in 
an  active  market.  They  are  included  in  current  assets, 
except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after 
the  reporting  period  which  are  classified  as  non-current 
assets.  

Financial assets-reclassification 

The  Consolidated  Entity  may  choose  to  reclassify  non-
derivative trading financial assets out of the held for trading 
category  if  the  financial  asset  is  no  longer  held  for  the 
purpose of selling it in the near term. Financial assets other 
than loans and receivables are permitted to be reclassified 
out  of 
in  rare 
circumstances  arising  from  a  single  event  that  is  unusual 
and highly unlikely to recur in the near term. In addition, the

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Consolidated  Entity  may  choose  to  reclassify  financial 
assets  that  would  meet  the  definition  of  loans  and

has the intention and ability to hold these financial assets 
for  the  foreseeable  future  or  until  maturity  at  the  date  of 
reclassification.  

fair  value  as  of 

Reclassifications  are  made  at 
the 
reclassification  date.  Fair  value  becomes  the  new  cost  or 
amortised cost as applicable, and no reversals of fair value 
gains  or  losses  recorded  before  reclassification  date  are 
subsequently  made.  Effective  interest  rates  for  financial 
assets reclassified to loans and receivables are determined 
at the reclassification date. Further increases in estimates 
of cash flows adjust effective interest rates prospectively. 

Recognition and de-recognition 

trade-date  - 

the  date  on  which 

Regular  way  purchases  and  sales  of  financial  assets  are 
recognised  on 
the 
Consolidated Entity commits to purchase or sell the asset. 
Financial  assets  are  derecognised  when  the  rights  to 
receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or 
have  been  transferred  and  the  Consolidated  Entity  has 
transferred  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of 
ownership. 

Measurement  
At  initial  recognition,  the  Consolidated  Entity  measures  a 
financial  asset  at  its  fair  value  plus,  in  case  of  a  financial 
asset  not  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss,  transaction 
costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the 
financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried 
at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in the profit 
or loss. 

Loans  and  receivables  are  subsequently  carried  at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  are 
subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising 
from changes in the fair value of the “financial asset at fair 
value through profit or loss” category are presented in profit 
or  loss  within  Other  Comprehensive  Income  or  Other 
Operating  Expenses  in  the  period  in  which  they  arise. 
Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through 
profit or loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of 
Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as part of 
revenue from continuing operations when the Consolidated 
Entity’s  right  to  receive  payments  is  established.  Interest 
income  from  these  financial  assets  is  included  in  the  net 
gains/(losses). 

Details  on  how  the  fair  value  of  financial  instruments  is 
determined are disclosed in note 2. 

Impairment  
The  Consolidated  Entity  assesses  at  the  end  of  each 
reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a 
financial  asset  or  group  of  financial  assets  is  impaired.  A 
financial  asset  (or  a  group  of  financial  assets) is  impaired 
and  the  impairment  losses  are  incurred  only  if  there  is 
objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more 
events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset 
(a  “loss  event”)  and  that  loss  event  (or  events)  has  an 
impact  on the  estimated  future  cash  flows  of  the  financial 
asset  or  group  of  financial  assets  that  can  be  reliably 
estimated.  

(i)  Financial Assets carried at amortised cost 
For loans and receivables, the amount of loss is measured 
as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and 
the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding 
future credit losses that have not been incurred) 
discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest 
rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the 
amount of the loss is recognised in the profit or loss. 

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 was recognised 
(such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the 
reversal  of  the  previously  recognised  impairment  loss  is 
recognised in profit or loss. 

l.  Property, Plant and Equipment 
All  items  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  stated  at 
historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment 
losses.  Historical  cost  includes  expenditure  that  is  directly 
attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount 
or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when 
it  is  probable  that  future  economic  benefits  associated  with 
the item will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the cost of the 
item  can  be  measured  reliably.  The  carrying  amount  of  any 
component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised 
when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged 
to  profit  or  loss  during  the  reporting  period  in  which  they  are 
incurred. 

Land  is  not  depreciated.  Depreciation  on  other  assets  is 
calculated  using  the  straight-line  method  to  allocate  their 
cost or re-valued amounts, net of their residual values, over 
their  estimated  useful  lives  or,  in  the  case  of  leasehold 
improvements, the shorter lease term as follows: 

Computer equipment 
Plant & equipment 

33.33% to 66.67% 
12.5% 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and 
adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.  

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its 
recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater 
than its estimated recoverable amount note 1(n). 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing 
proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit 
or loss. 

m.  Mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure 

to  be 

Exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  incurred  is initially 
capitalised  in  respect  of  each  identifiable  area  of  interest 
where  the  Consolidated  Entity  has  right  of  tenure.  These 
costs  are  only  carried  forward  to  the  extent  that  they  are 
expected 
the  successful 
development of the area or where activities in the area have 
reasonable 
not  yet 
assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically-
recoverable reserves. Accumulated  costs  in  relation  to  an 
abandoned  area  are  written  off  in  full  against  profit  in  the 
year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

that  permits

through 

Under  AASB  6  Exploration  for  and  Evaluation  of  Mineral 
Resources,  if  facts  and  circumstances  suggest  that  the 
carrying  amount  of  any  recognised  exploration  and 
evaluation assets may be impaired, the Consolidated Entity 
must  perform  impairment  tests  on  those  assets  and 
measure  any  impairment  in  accordance  with  AASB  136 
Impairment  of  Assets.  Any  impairment  loss  is  to  be 
recognised as an expense. A regular review is undertaken 
of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of 
continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of 
interest.   

n.  Trade and Other Payables 
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services 
provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the end of the 
financial  year  which  are  unpaid.  The  amounts  are 
unsecured  and  are  usually  paid  within  30  days  of 
recognition.  Trade  and  other  payables  are  presented  as 
current  liabilities  unless  payment  is  not  due  within  12 
months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially 
at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised 
cost using the effective interest method.

o.  Employee Benefits 

i.  Short-term obligations 

Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary 
benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 
months after the end of the period in which the employees 
render  the  related  service  are  recognised  in  respect  of 
employees’ services  up to the  end  of  the  reporting  period 
and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when 
the  liabilities  are  settled.  The  liability  for  annual  leave  is 
recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other 
short-term  employee  benefit  obligations  are  presented  as 
payables. 

ii.  Other long-term employee benefit obligations 
The liability for long service leave and annual leave which 
is not expected to be settled within 12 months after the end 
of  the  period  in  which  the  employees  render  the  related 
service is recognised in the provision for employee benefits 
and  measured  as  the  present  value  of  expected  future 
payments  to  be  made  in  respect  of  services  provided  by 
employees up to the end of the reporting period using the 
projected  unit  credit  method.  Consideration  is  given  to 
expected  future  wage  and  salary  levels,  experience  of 
employee  departures  and  periods  of  service.  Expected 
future payments are discounted using market yields at the 
end  of  the  reporting  period  on  corporate  bond  rate  with 
terms  to  maturity  and  currency  that  match,  as  closely  as 
possible, the estimated future cash outflows.  

The  obligations  are  presented  as  current  liabilities  in  the 
Consolidated  Statement  of  Financial  Position  if  the  entity 
does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for 
at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless 
of when the actual settlement is expected to occur. 

iii.  Share-based payments 

Shared-based compensation benefits are provided to 
employees via the Strike Resources Limited Employee 
Option Plan. Information on these schemes is set out in 
note 25. 

p.  Employee Benefits (continued) 
The  fair  value  of  options  granted  under  Strike  Resources 
Limited  Employee  Option  Plan  is  recognised  as  an 
employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase 
in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by 
reference  to  the  fair  value  of  the  options  granted,  which 
includes any market performance conditions and the impact 
of  any  non-vesting  conditions  but  excludes  the  impact  of 
any  service  and  non-market  performance  vesting 
conditions. 

r.  Dividends 
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, 
being  appropriately  authorised  and  no  longer  at  the 
discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting 
period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period. 

s.  Earnings per Share 

i.  Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing: 
 

the  profit  attributable  to  owners  of  the  Company, 
excluding  any  costs  of  servicing  equity  other  than 
ordinary shares. 

  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares 
outstanding  during  the  financial  year,  adjusted  for 
bonus  elements  in  ordinary  shares  issued  during  the 
year and excluding treasury shares. 

ii.  Diluted earnings per share 
Diluted  earnings  per  share  adjusts  the  figures  used  in  the 
determination  of  basic  earnings  per  share  to  take  into 
account: 

 

 

the  after  income  tax  effect  of  interest  and  other 
financing  costs  associated  with  dilutive  potential 
ordinary shares, and 

the weighted average number of additional shares that 
would have been outstanding assuming the conversion 
of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.   

t.  Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) (including Value 

Added Tax – “VAT”)  

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the 
amount  of  any  associated  GST  (VAT),  unless  the  GST 
(VAT)  incurred  is  not  recoverable  from  the  taxation 
authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of 
acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. 

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  inclusive  of  the 
amount  of  GST  (VAT)  receivable  or  payable.  The  net 
amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation 
authority  is  included  with  other  receivables  or  payables  in 
the statement of financial position. 

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST (VAT) 
components  of  cash  flows  arising  from  investing  or 
financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable 
to the taxation  authority,  are  presented  as  operating cash 
flows. 

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions 
about the number of options that are expected to vest. The 
total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which 
is  the  period  over  which  all  of  the  specified  vesting 
conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the 
entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are 
expected  to  vest  based  on  the  non-marketing  vesting 
conditions.  It  recognises  the  impact  of  the  revision  to 
original  estimates,

corresponding adjustment to equity.

if  any, 

q.  Contributed equity 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.  Incremental costs 
directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are 
shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. 
Incremental  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  issue  of  new 
shares or options for the acquisition of a business are included 
in  the  cost  of  the  acquisition  as  part  of  the  purchase 
consideration.

v.  Parent Entity Financial Information 
The financial information for the parent entity, Strike Resources Limited, disclosed in Note 26 has been prepared on the same 
basis as the consolidated financial statements. 

2.  Financial Risk Management 

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies 
The  Consolidated  Entity's  financial  instruments  mainly  consist  of  deposits  with  banks,  accounts  receivable  and 
payable. The main risks arising from the Consolidated Entity's financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign 
exchange risk, credit risk, equity price risk and liquidity risk. 

The Board of Directors’ is responsible for the overall internal control framework (which includes risk management) 
but no cost-effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities. The system is based, in part, 
on  the  appointment  of  suitably-qualified  management  personnel  in  conjunction  with  a  range  of  policies  and 
procedures, which incorporate monitoring and reporting mechanisms, to assist in the management of the various 
risks to which the business is exposed. The effectiveness  of the system is continually reviewed by management 
and at least annually by the Board. 

The Consolidated Entity holds the following instruments.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

a.  Market Risk 

i.  Foreign Exchange Risk 

The  Consolidated  Entity  operates  internationally  and  is  exposed  to  foreign  exchange  risk  arising  from  various 
currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar, Peruvian Nuevo Soles and Canadian dollar. 

Foreign  exchange  risk  arises  from  future  commercial  transactions  and  recognised  assets  and  liabilities 
denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis 
and cash flow forecasting. 

The Consolidated Entity has a policy of not hedging foreign exchange risk and therefore has not entered into any 
hedging  against  movements  in  foreign  currencies  against  the  Australian  dollar,  including  forward  exchange 
contracts, as at the reporting date and is currently fully exposed to foreign exchange risk.  

i.  Foreign Exchange Risk  

The Consolidated Entity's exposure to foreign exchange risk expressed in Australian dollar at the reporting date 
was as follows: 

Financial assets 
Cash at bank 
Receivables 
Financial assets at fair value 
through profit or loss 

Loan receivable 
Financial liabilities

The Consolidated Entity has performed a sensitivity analysis on its exposure to exchange risk. The management 
assessment is based upon an analysis of current and future market position. The analysis demonstrates the effect 
on the current-year results and equity when the Australian dollar strengthened or weakened by 10% (2014: 10%) 
against the foreign currencies detailed above, with all the other variables held constant.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

The Consolidated Entity has performed a sensitivity analysis on its exposure to  interest rate risk at the reporting 
date. The management assessment is based upon an analysis of current and future market conditions, in particular 
comments from the Reserve Bank of Australia on the likely movement of interest rates. The analysis demonstrates 
the potential effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks. 

Change in profit 
   increase by 25bps (2014: 25bps) 
   decrease by 25bps (2014: 25bps)

b.  Credit Risk 
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty under a financial instrument will default (in whole or in part) on its 
contractual  obligations  resulting  in  financial  loss  to  the  Consolidated  Entity.  Concentrations  of  credit  risk  are 
minimised  primarily  by  undertaking  appropriate  due  diligence  on  potential  investments,  carrying  out  all  market 
transactions through approved brokers, settling non-market transactions with the involvement of suitably qualified 
legal  and  accounting  personnel  (both  internal  and  external),  and  obtaining  sufficient  collateral  or  other  security 
(where appropriate) as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.  

Pursuant to the Cuervo Investment Agreement, the Company holds a pledge over the shares of Minera Cuervo 
S.A.C., which pledge is exercisable if Cuervo defaults under the Investment Agreement. 

The credit quality of the financial assets are neither past due nor impaired and can be assessed by reference to 
external credit ratings (if available with Standard &  Poor's) or to historical information about counterparty default 
rates:

The Consolidated Entity measures credit risk on a fair-value basis. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded 
in the financial statements, net of any provision for losses, represents the Consolidated Entity’s maximum exposure 
to credit risk. All receivables noted above, except interest on term deposits, are due within 30 days. None of the 
above receivables are past due.

8,374,206 

c.  Liquidity Risk 
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities to meet obligations 
when due and to close out the market positions. At the end of the reporting period the Consolidated Entity held 
deposits  of  $8,075,000  (2014:  $9,850,000)  that  mature  within  the  next  3  months  after  30  June  2015  that  are 
expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.  

The financial liabilities disclosed have the following maturity obligation: 

Non-interest bearing 
   less than 6 months 
   6 to 12 months 
   more than 12 months

determined in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in Note 3.

STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

e.  Fair Value Measurements 
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the 
reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Consolidated Entity is the current 
bid price. These instruments are included in level 1. 

The  fair  value  of  financial  instruments  that  are  not  traded  in  an  active  market  is  determined  using  valuation 
techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely 
as  little  as  possible  on  entity  specific  estimates.  If  all  significant  inputs  required  to  fair  value  an  instrument  are 
observable, the instrument is included in level 2. 

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 
3. Techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial 
instruments.  

The  fair  value  of  financial  instruments  must  be  estimated  for  recognition  and  measurement  or  for  disclosure 
purposes. 

AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following 
fair value measurement hierarchy: 
(a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1); 
(b) inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 

(as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2); and 

(c)  inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3). 

3.  Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements 

Estimates  and  judgements  are  continually  evaluated  and  are  based  on  historical  experience  and  other  factors, 
including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be 
reasonable under the circumstances. 

Impairment of Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation expenditure 

a. 
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, 
including  the  Consolidated  Entity’s  ability  to  develop  the  relevant  area of  interest  itself or,  if  not,  whether it  can 
successfully recover the capitalised exploration and evaluation asset through sale. 

Factors  that  could  impact  the  future  recoverability  include  the  grade  and  quantity  of  mineral  resources,  future 
technological changes which impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental 
restoration obligations), changes to commodity prices, right of tenure and community approvals or access. 

b.  SUNAT tax 

In  June  2014,  The  Peruvian Tax  Administration  (“SUNAT”)  completed  an  audit  on  Apurimac  Ferrum  S.A  (“AF”) 
relating to Non Resident Income Tax Withholding for the fiscal years 2010 and 2011.  

The SUNAT notified AF a set of Resolutions that determine a debt for Non Domiciled Income Tax Withholding and 
Fine Resolutions as a result of the Audit process. 

AF has obtained independent advice in respect to the SUNAT findings identifying that the Company has strong 
arguments in its defence. As a result, AF has officially lodged a claim against the SUNAT findings.  

In April 2015, AF received resolutions from SUNAT which have predominantly ruled in favour of a claim made by 
AF. As a result, AF was able to reverse A$1.1 million of its A$1.7 million accrual that is has previously recognised 
for SUNAT withholding taxes. 

SUNAT has requested its audit area to complete a re-audit on several of initial findings believing that insufficient 
evidence was compiled to support its position. AF plans to appeal this matter to the Tax Administrative Court but 
will continue to recognise an accrual of A$610,878 for the resolutions subject to further investigation until the dispute 
is completely resolved. 

4.  Segment Information 

a.  Description of segments 
Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Board of Directors that 
are used to make strategic decisions. 

The Board of Directors considers the business from both a product and a geographic perspective and has identified 
two reportable segments as follows: 

  Australia

On December 11, 2013 Strike announced it had issued a demand notice for C$5,250,000 plus applicable interest 
to Cuervo in respect of the Investment Agreement between the two companies, relating to the financing of the Cerro 
Ccopane project. The demand notice was issued following Strike's concerns regarding the solvency of Cuervo and 
events of default occurring under the current agreements between the companies. Strike also issued a notice of its 
intention to enforce its security held over 90% of the shares of the Peruvian company holding the key assets of the 
project, if the full amount owed to Strike was not paid by December 16, 2013. To date no further action has been 
undertaken.  

Strike is aware that all of the Canadian directors of Cuervo have resigned and the company has been delisted from 
the Canadian Securities Exchange. Strike is examining its options to recover value as a secured creditor of Cuervo. 
In this regard, Strike has been advised that the legal and court costs of actively pursuing its claims in Canada and 
Peru could be considerable. In light of this and the fact that the recoverable value of the Cuervo assets in Peru is 
questionable under current market conditions, Strike is considering whether to actively pursue its claims. 

Refer to Note 2 for the Consolidated Entity’s exposure to credit risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.

On 14 April 2014, following a strategic review the Company decided to close its office and operations in Peru. Since 
determining to suspend its operations in Peru, the Company is actively looking to dispose of its assets in Peru. 

During the financial year, the Company impaired all property, plant and equipment which was unable to be sold. 
The Company continues to hold 886ha block of land in Cusco. An independent valuation of the land determined 
that the current market in the mining sector limits any probability of value realisation. As such, the directors have 
impaired the land held to a value of nil.

*The Consolidated Entity has assessed the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation in accordance with 
AASB  6  Exploration  for  and  Evaluation  of  Mineral  Resources  and  has  recognised  an  impairment  expense  of 
$220,611 during the current financial year following the decision to review its commitment to continue sole funding 
the  advancement  of  its  projects  in  Peru.  On  14  April  2014, the  Group  announced  that  it was  undertaking  a  full 
strategic review of all of its assets and due to this it was closing AF’s office and operations in Peru. 

The  ultimate  recoverability  of  deferred  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  is  dependent  on  the  successful 
development or sale of the relevant area of interest. Refer to Note 1(m) & 3(a).

Ferrum S.A (“AF”) relating to Non Resident Income Tax Withholding for the fiscal years 2010 and 2011.  In June 
2014, The Peruvian Tax Administration (“SUNAT”) completed an audit on Apurimac Ferrum S.A (“AF”) relating to 
Non Resident Income Tax Withholding for the fiscal years 2010 and 2011.  

The SUNAT notified AF a set of Resolutions that determine a debt for Non Domiciled Income Tax Withholding and 
Fine Resolutions as a result of the Audit process. 

AF has obtained independent advice in respect to the SUNAT findings identifying that the Company has strong 
arguments in its defence. As a result, AF has officially lodged a claim against the SUNAT findings.  

In April 2015, AF received resolutions from SUNAT which have predominantly ruled in favour of a claim made by 
AF. As a result, AF was able to reverse A$1.1 million of its A$1.7 million accrual that it has previously recognised 
for SUNAT withholding taxes. 

SUNAT has requested its audit area to complete a re-audit on several of initial findings believing that insufficient 
evidence was compiled to support its position. AF plans to appeal this matter to the Tax Administrative Court but 
will continue to recognise an accrual of A$610,878 for the resolutions subject to further investigation until the dispute 
is completely resolved. 

Details of the Consolidated Entity's exposure to risks arising from current payables are set out in Note 2.

18.  Contingent Assets and Liabilities 

a.  Native Title  

The Consolidated Entity's tenements in Australia may be subject to native title applications in the future.  At this 
stage it is not possible to quantify the impact (if any) that native title may have on the operations of the Consolidated 
Entity. 

b.  Government Royalties 

The Consolidated Entity is liable to pay royalties on production obtained from its mineral tenements/concessions.   

c.  Directors' Deeds 

The Consolidated Entity has entered into deeds of indemnity with Strike Resources Limited Directors, indemnifying 
them against liability incurred in discharging their duties as Directors/officers of the Consolidated Entity.  As at the 
reporting date, no claims have been made under any such indemnities and, accordingly, it is not possible to quantify 
the potential financial obligation of the Consolidated Entity under these indemnities. 

d.  Deferred Consideration to D&C 

D&C Group receives the following deferred payments if certain milestones are achieved:  
a.  US$2 million on Apurimac Ferrum defining a JORC Resource at the Apurimac project of 500 Mt of iron ore 
with an average grade of at least 55% iron (Fe) or 275 Mt of contained iron at an average grade of 52.5% Fe 
or above. 

b.  US$3 million on Apurimac Ferrum S.A achieving environmental and community approvals for the construction 
of an iron ore mine and associated infrastructure with a design capacity of at least 10Mtpa of iron ore product. 
c.  US$5 million on formal Apurimac Ferrum Board approval to commence construction of an iron ore project, or 
the  commencement of  bulk earthworks  for an  iron  ore  processing plant,  with  a  design  capacity  of  at  least 
10Mtpa of iron ore product (Construction Milestone). 

Under the terms of Shootout Settlement Agreement, Apurimac Ferrum S.A will also pay D&C Group the following 
royalties: 

 
 

1.5% of the net profits from sales of iron ore. 
2% of the proceeds of sales of other metals (on a net smelter return basis).

30 JUNE 2015 

STRIKE RESOURCES LIMITED 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Or  Apurimac  Ferrum  S.A  may  extinguish  the  royalties  by  paying  D&C  Group  any  one  of  the  following  amounts 
(Extinguishment Payment): 

 
 
 
 

US$13 million within 2 years from 20 December 2012, or 
US$15 million between 2 and 3 years from 20 December 2012, or  
US$20 million between 3 and 4 years from 20 December 2012, or 
US$30 million after 4 years from 20 December 2012 but before the Construction Milestone occurs or the 
15th anniversary of the agreement (whichever is sooner).  

Due to the inherent uncertainty surrounding the achievement and timing of the above milestones, as at 30 June the 
Company treated the deferred consideration as a contingent liability.  

e.  Millenium legal dispute 

Strike is the defendant to a number of legal disputes that have been initiated by the original vendor and/or related 
parties to the vendor of the Apurimac Project. A number of these disputes have already either passed through 
arbitration or the judicial system in Peru and been awarded in favour of Strike. However, the vendor and/or related 
parties to the vendor continue to pursue a number of legal avenues (including appeals on previous decisions) in 
order to frustrate Strike and potentially regain ownership or the Apurimac and Cusco Projects. 

Strike does not consider any of the legal actions brought by the vendor and/or related parties to the vendor to have 
any reasonable basis for success and will continue to defend all claims raised against it. 

19.  Commitments 
b.  Lease Commitments  

The Company has no lease commitments as at 30 June 2015.  

c.  Mineral Tenement/Concession/Mining Rights - Commitments for Expenditure 
Australian tenements 
In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the holders of Australian mineral tenements 
are required to outlay lease rentals and meet minimum expenditure commitments. The Company does not currently 
have any material commitments for expenditure relating to Australian tenements. 

Peruvian concessions 
The Consolidated Entity is required to pay annual licence fees by 30 June of each year, at rates which vary on an 
amount  per-hectare  basis.  The  total  amount  of  this  commitment  will  depend  upon  the  area  of  concessions 
relinquished (if any) and the area of new concessions granted (if any) and therefore cannot be reliably estimated. 
As  a  result  of  finalising  the  arbitration  process  with  the  shareholders  of  Apurimac  Ferrum  S.A.(“AF”),  the 
Consolidated Entity granted on option over Peruvian tenements held by its subsidiary, Strike Resources Peru S.A.C. 
Under  the  terms  of  the  AF  Settlement  Agreement  AF  is  obliged  to  make  all  necessary  payments  to  keep  the 
concessions in good standing. Financial commitments for subsequent periods are contingent upon the continuity of 
the agreement with AF, future exploration and evaluation results, and as such cannot be reliably estimated.  

A number of non-core mineral concessions in Peru were allowed to lapse on 30 June 2015, significantly reducing 
the Company’s annual expenditure in Peru. The Company continues to hold 14 core concessions in Peru which 
contain its JORC Resources of iron ore in Apurimac and Cusco, as well as some neighbouring concessions which 
have strategic value associated with the projects.  

Australian heritage protection agreements 

These agreements facilitate the preservation of Aboriginal heritage through the protection of Aboriginal sites and 
objects upon the grant of mining tenements in Western Australia. The Heritage Protection Agreements require the 
Consolidated Entity to conduct Aboriginal heritage surveys prior to conducting exploration that is not low-impact in 
nature and detail procedures to be followed if an Aboriginal site is identified. 

Agreements with Peruvian landowners and community groups 
The Company notes that holding a mineral concession in Peru does not grant automatic access to the surface land. 
Notwithstanding an easement procedure is contemplated in Peruvian law, in practice, mining companies have to 
negotiate and enter into private agreements with landowners/community groups in order to have access to their 
land for the purposes of conducting mining activities (exploration, evaluation, development and mining). Multiple 
landowners/community groups are affected by the Consolidated Entity’s proposed mining activities on a majority of 
the Consolidated Entity's Peruvian concessions. To date, approvals have been sought and obtained for drilling on 
a programme by programme basis. 

Obtaining  approvals  from  landowners/community  groups  can  be  a  complicated  and  lengthy  process.  The 
Consolidated  Entity  will  have  to  commit  funds  to  community  groups  and/or  landowners  to  secure  land  access 
agreements to develop its Peruvian projects. There can be no guarantees that such approvals will be obtained, or 
as to the terms upon which they will be obtained. At this stage it is not possible to quantify the potential financial 
obligation of the Consolidated Entity in this regard.

22.  Events Occurring after the Reporting Period 

On 2 July 2015 the Company announced that a Takeover Response Committee of the Company’s independent 
directors, being the Chairman, Mr Malcolm Richmond, Ms Samantha Tough and Mr Matthew Hammond had been 
established to respond to the takeover bid offer made by Bentley Capital Limited as announced on 30 June 2015 
(the “Offer”). The Company also announced that following completion of the Offer (irrespective of the outcome of 
the Offer), Ms Samantha Tough intended to resign from the Company Board to focus on her other non-executive 
director roles. 

In July 2015, Bentley Capital Limited lodged its Bidder’s Statement relating to the Offer with ASIC and dispatched 
the same to Strike’s shareholders. 

In August 2015, the Company lodged its Target’s Statement in response to the Offer.   

The Bid closed on 2 September 2015 and a total of 52,553,493 shares representing 36.16% of the Company’s 
issued capital were acquired by Bentley during the bid. Bentley as a consequence is now the Company’s largest 
shareholder. 

The Takeover Response Committee has incurred a total cost of approximately $300,000 - $350,000 in relation to 
the Company’s response to the Offer.  

There have been no further changes of significance since then.

consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s
preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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 company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

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

Strike’s ASX announcement dated 17 June 2011: Cusco Project – Resource Estimate).  It has not been updated

Compliance  



 

The Mineral Resources estimates (above) have not changed since reported in last year’s Annual Report. 

The  Mineral Resources estimates (above) is based on, and fairly represents, information and supporting 
documentation prepared by a Competent Person (recognised under the JORC Code). 

The Annual Mineral Resources Statement as a whole has been approved by the Competent Person named 
in the JORC Code Competent Person’s Statements section of this Annual Report (at page 46) where further 
information concerning his qualifications and professional membership is also disclosed. 

Due to the nature, stage and size of the Company’s existing operations, Strike believes there would be no 
efficiencies  gained  by  establishing  a  separate  Mineral  Reserves/Resources  Committee  responsible  for 
reviewing  and  monitoring  the  Company’s  processes  for  calculating  JORC  Code  compliant  Mineral 
Reserves/Resources.  The Board as a whole has responsibility in this regard (with assistance from external 
advisers  as  appropriate)  including  ensuring  that  appropriate  internal  controls  are  applied  to  such 
calculations.   

The Company ensures that any Mineral Reserve/Resource calculations are prepared by Competent Persons 
and where appropriate, reviewed independently and verified (including estimation methodology, sampling, 
analytical and test data).    

The Company will report any future Mineral Reserves/Resources estimates in accordance with the 2012 
JORC Code.
