On 16 December 2016, the Company confirmed the settlement of 295C Canning Highway, Como, with net proceeds from the sale of the property totaling approximately $635,000, of which the Company shall receive 50% of the net proceeds. This concludes the sale and settlement of all units for 295 Canning Highway, Como. 3 Oak Street, Cannington, Western Australia On 2 February 2016 the Company received development approval (subject to conditions) from the City of Canning for the construction of 12 apartments at 3 Oak Street, Cannington, with each apartment having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Since receiving development approval, the Company has obtained costings for the development, initiated discussions with various construction companies as well as indicative pre-sale pricing. Subsequent to year end the Company has received a loan proposal document from an Australian bank to fully fund the development. An announcement shall be made to the ASX once the loan terms are finalized and formally agreed to by all stakeholders. The market for pre-sales for apartments in Western Australia remains somewhat weak. However the company is optimistic that the design and location of the development represent a good value to potential buyers. 19-21 Tate Street, Bentley, Western Australia During the 30 June 2016 financial year the Company applied for and received authority to amalgamate 19 & 21 Tate Street, Bentley into one property, and development approval (subject to conditions) from the City of Canning for the construction of 14 apartments at 19 & 21 Tate Street, Bentley, with 10 apartments having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and 4 apartments having 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. Since receiving development approval, the Company has proceeded to obtain costings for the development, initiated discussions with various construction companies as well as indicative pre-sale pricing. However given the current bleak property sentiment across Western Australia, the Directors have taken a conservative view by recognizing an impairment of $772,326 on the two developments. The Company will commence development on its Bentley property following the completion of the Cannington development and if market conditions improve and funding can be secured. 6 DIRECTORS' REPORT 8) SIGNFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company during the financial year.

Executive directors and any personnel in the senior management position are collectively referred to as executives in this Report. Remuneration Policy The remuneration policy of the Company has been designed to align directors’ and executives’ objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual basis in line with market rates and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Company’s financial results. The board believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best directors and executives to run and manage the Company. The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and executives of the Company is as follows: Executive Remuneration Policy The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives (or collectively “executives”), was developed by the board. All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) and superannuation. The board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Company’s performance, executive’s performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. The board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder’s wealth. Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements. The executive directors receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.5% and do not receive any other retirement benefits. All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Shares given to directors and executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes method. Non-Executive Remuneration Policy The board’s policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, (currently $250,000). Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align directors’ and executives’ interests with shareholder interests, non-executive directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company and are able to participate in the employee option plan. Performance based remuneration The Company has no performance based remuneration component built into executive remuneration packages. Non- executive directors’ remuneration are not performance based. Company performance, shareholder’s wealth and director’s and executive’s remuneration The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders and directors and executives. Currently, this is facilitated through the issue of options to the majority of directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes the policy will be effective in increasing shareholder’s wealth. For details of directors’ interests in options at year end, refer the Directors’ Report. 8 Ultima United Limited - Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 DIRECTORS' REPORT Employment contracts of key management personnel (Simon) Xing Yan Pursuant to an agreement executed on 30 April 2015, Xing Yan will be paid $150,000 per annum plus superannuation, for providing services to the Company as Executive Chairman & Managing Director.

The accompanying notes form part of these financial statements 16 Ultima United Limited - Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The Company is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. The financial report covers the Company of Ultima United Limited and has been prepared in Australian dollars. Ultima United Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the entity in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. (a) Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are: Share based payment transactions The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using Black-Scholes option pricing model. Impairment The Company assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific to the Company that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions. Environmental Issues Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Company’s development and its current environmental impact the directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate. Taxation Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, and are based on the best estimates of directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the company as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors’ best estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office. (b) Revenue Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Interest Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues. (c) Earnings Per Share The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to members for the reporting period, after excluding any costs of servicing equity, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company, adjusted for any bonus issue. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. 17 Ultima United Limited - Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (d) Impairment of Assets At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indication of impairment exists, the Company makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or Company assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 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. (e) Income Tax Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences: • except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither that accounting profit or loss nor taxable profit or loss; and • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised: • except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit or loss nor taxable profit or loss; and • in respect of deductible temporary differences with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. (f) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (“ATO”). In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows. 18 Ultima United Limited - Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (g) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position. (h) Trade and Other Receivables Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified. Receivables from related parties are recognised and carried at the nominal amount due. Interest is taken up as income on an accrual basis. (i) Interest in Joint Venture (Equity Accounted Investee) These are investments where the Company has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic and operating decisions. Such investments are accounted for using the equity method (Equity Accounted Investees) and are initially recognised at cost under AASB 11 Joint Arrangements. The financial statements include the Company’s share of the income and expenses and equity movements of Equity Accounted Investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company, from the date that the joint control commences until the date joint control ceases. When the Company’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an Equity Accounted Investee, the carrying amount of that interest is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Company has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the Equity Accounted Investee. Such investments are carried at the lower of the equity accounted amount and the recoverable amount. Investments in joint ventures are treated as current assets where it is expected that the investment will be realised within a twelve month time frame. (j) Property held for development and resale Property held for development and resale comprises land held for development, contract costs and other holding costs incurred to date. Costs include the cost of acquisition, development, interest on funds borrowed for the development and holding costs until completion of the development. Interest and holding charges incurred after development is completed are expensed. Profit is recognised on an individual contract basis generally at settlement. (k) Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. Depreciation The depreciable amount of plant and equipment is depreciated on a diminishing value basis over the asset’s useful life to the Company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of Fixed Asset Plant and equipment Furniture and Fittings Software Depreciation Rate 33.00% 11.25% 33.00% The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. 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. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings. (l) Trade and Other Payables Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at cost which is the fair value of consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Company. Payables to related parties are carried at the principal amount. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an expense on an accrual basis. 19 Ultima United Limited - Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (m) Issued Capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received. (n) Financial Instruments Recognition and initial measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted). Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Classification and subsequent measurement Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. Amortised cost is calculated as: (a) (b) (c) the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition; less principal repayments; plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and less any reduction for impairment. (d) The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss. The Company does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments. (i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are either held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss. (ii) Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Company’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other investments are classified as current assets.) If during the period the Company sold or reclassified more than an insignificant amount of the held-to-maturity investments before maturity, the entire held-to-maturity investments category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale. (iii) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments. Available-for-sale financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other financial assets are classified as current assets). 20 Ultima United Limited - Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (iv) Financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Fair value Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. Impairment At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether a impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. De-recognition Financial assets are de-recognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are de-recognised where the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. Impairment of Assets At each the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. (o) Comparatives When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. (p) Employee Benefits Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within 1 year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than 1 year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Those cashflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows. 21 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (q) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods Accounting Standards issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatorily applicable to the company, together with an assessment of the potential impact of such pronouncements on the company when adopted in future periods, are discussed below: Ultima United Limited - Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 AASB No. Title AASB 9 Financial Instruments Application date of standard * Issue date 1 January 2018 December 2014 AASB 2010-7 Amendments arising from Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) 1 January 2018 September 2012 AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Part E - Financial Instruments Part E - 1 January 2018 June 2014 AASB 2014-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standard Arising From AASB 15 1 January 2018 December 2014 AASB 2014-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standard Arising From AASB 9 (December 2014) 1 January 2018 December 2014 AASB 2014-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standard - Sale of Contribution of Assets Between Investors and its Associates or Joint Venture 1 January 2018 December 2014 AASB 2015-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Effective Date of AASB 15 1 January 2018 October 2015 AASB 2015-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Effective Date of Amendments to AASB 10 and AASB 128. 1 January 2018 December 2015 AASB 2016-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses [AASB 112] 1 January 2017 February 2016 AASB 2016-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 107 1 January 2017 March 2016 AASB 2016-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Clarifications to AASB 15 1 January 2018 May 2016 AASB 15 Revenues from Contracts with Customers 1 January 2018 October 2015 AASB 16 Leases 1 January 2019 February 2016 The directors’ assessment is that there would be no material impact arising from the above standards given the current stage of the company’s’ operations.

Mr Simon Yan, the managing director of the Company, is a director and shareholder of S & A Holding. Under the terms of the agreement, S & A Holding and the Company formed an unincorporated joint venture for the purpose of sharing profits from the completion of the Como Property development. Council approval for the development was received on 10 July 2014 with the construction commencing thereafter. At 30 June 2017, the Company had incurred total minimum expenditure to earn the following interest in the JV profits: (a) S & A Holding – 50%; and (b) the Company – 50%. Each party must now contribute to expenditure made or incurred in respect of the Como Property development in proportion to their interest in the profits or the Joint Venture (i.e. 50/50). Under the JV Agreement, the liability of the parties in each case is several in proportion to their respective interests in the profits of the Joint Venture and shall not be either joint or joint and several.

At shareholders meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote in proportion to the paid up amount of the share when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands. (c) Capital risk management The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Given the former nature of the Company’s activities in mineral exploration, it does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Accordingly, the objective of the Company’s capital risk management was to balance its working capital position against the requirements of the Company to meet exploration programmes and overheads. This was achieved by maintaining appropriate liquidity to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. With the Company changing its principal activities to property development, the Company’s capital risk management remains largely unchanged by maintaining appropriate liquidity to meet anticipated development costs in conjunction with obtaining credit facilities and through sales of properties development. The working capital position of the Company at 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2016 are as follows: Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Financial assets Trade and other payables Provisions Working capital position 2017 $ 2016 $ 1,117,853 1,375,502 7,487 5,188 (83,530) (62,081) 8,200 4,669 (30,062) (91,883) 984,917 1,266,426 28 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 15: RESERVES Option Reserve Movements in options on issue: At the beginning of the year At reporting date NOTE 16: ACCUMULATED LOSSES Balance at beginning of the year Net loss attributable to members At reporting date Ultima United Limited - Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 30-Jun-17 30-Jun-16 $ $ 482,267 482,267 30-Jun-17 30-Jun-16 $ Number $ Number 482,267 482,267 - - 482,267 482,267 - - 30-Jun-17 30-Jun-16 $ $ (4,685,112) (4,268,453) (1,123,762) (416,659) (5,808,874) (4,685,112) NOTE 17: KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL DISCLOSURES Refer to the remuneration report contained in the directors’ report for details of the remuneration paid or payable to each member of the Company’s key management personnel (‘KMP’) for the year ended 30 June 2017.

Ultima United Limited - Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 NOTE 19: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (i) FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits. The main purpose of the financial instruments is to earn the maximum amount of interest at a low risk to the Company. The Company also has other financial instruments such as trade debtors and creditors which arise directly from its operations. For the year under review, it has been the Company’s policy not to trade in financial instruments. The directors’ overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Company in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the Board of Directors on a regular basis. These include the credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements. Financial Risk Exposures and Management The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are interest rate risk and credit risk. The board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below: (a) Foreign Currency Risk The Company is not exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies. (b) Interest Rate Risk The Company is exposed to movements in market interest rates on short term deposits. The policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to 120 days to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. The Company does not currently have short or long-term debt, and therefore this risk is minimal. (c) Credit Risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any Company of counterparties having similar characteristics. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any provisions for losses, represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. (d) Liquidity Risk The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows. The Company does not have any significant liquidity risk as the Company does not currently have any collateral debts. (e) Market Risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. 30 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (ii) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT COMPOSITION AND MATURITY ANALYSIS The table below reflects the undiscounted contractual settlement terms for financial instruments of a fixed period of maturity, as well as management’s expectations of the settlement period for all other financial instruments.

Listed investments have been valued at the quoted market bid price at balance date, adjusted for transaction costs expected to be incurred. For unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market, the net fair value has been based on a reasonable estimation of the underlying net assets or discounted cash flows of the investment.

The fair values of these financial assets have been based on the closing quoted bid prices at reporting date, excluding transaction costs. In valuing unlisted investments, included in Level 2 of the hierarchy, valuation techniques such as those using comparisons to similar investments for which market observable prices are available have been adopted to determine the fair values of these investments. Derivative instruments are included in Level 3 of the hierarchy with the fair values being determined using valuation techniques incorporating observable market data relevant to the hedged position.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the “Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. . 36 Carrying value assessment for (Undeveloped) Property Assets Refer to Note 8 - carrying value of $2.3 million Assessing the carrying amount of the Company’s interests in the (undeveloped) properties located at 3 Oak Street, Cannington and 19-21 Tate Street, Bentley, Western Australia was a key audit matter. Factors giving rise to this conclusion included the size of the balance and the judgment required in the assessment given the medium to long term nature of the asset, particularly in relation to: • whether development of these properties will ultimately proceed. These vacant land were purchased several years ago and development applications dwellings (apartments) on these lots were granted by the respective However, development plans have been placed on hold due to the inability to secure project financing; councils. multiple town for • the current uncertain outlook of the Perth the multiple- property market especially dwelling property segment which directly influences the funding appetite of potential lenders/investors. We performed procedures over the assessment of the (undeveloped) properties, carrying values of including with respect to whether the developments will proceed, by updating our understanding of: the • • The progress and status of any ongoing and anticipated negotiations taking place between the Company’s potential funders/investors to finance the development and likely timing. directors and The state of the Perth apartment property market and its future outlook based on available market data/commentary and information sourced from the public domain/industry publications. Having updated our understanding of the above points, we considered whether there were any indicators the properties were impaired. This was also facilitated in part by an independent market appraisal on the properties obtained by the Directors during the year. In addition to verifying that the impairment expense recognised in the financial statements was considered appropriate; we also undertook the following: • Evaluated the independent appraiser’s competence, capabilities and objectivity; • Assessed the appropriateness of the appraised values by comparing against indicative market values of similar properties (by location and size) being advertised for sale from sources such as www.realestate.com.au • Reviewed the relevant disclosures contained in the financial statements 37 Other Information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, 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, international omissions, misrepresentation, 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 Company’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. 38 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 report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report as included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2017. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Ultima United Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2017 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Responsibilities The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
