Chairman’s Letter  
to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders

It is my pleasure to present the 2021 Annual Report for Vysarn 
Limited (Vysarn) and the financial results for the company’s first 
full year of operations since its relisting on the Australian Securities 
Exchange on 11 September 2019. 

Entering the 2021 financial year Vysarn’s prime focus was the 
establishment of its wholly owned subsidiary Pentium Hydro Pty 
Ltd (Pentium) as a premium and preferred tier one service provider 
in the hydrogeological drilling sector while positioning it to reach 
operational and earnings steady state where all staff and assets are 
fully utilised for the foreseeable future. The board and management 
also maintained a broad strategic focus to move Vysarn from being 
a single service provider of hydrogeological drilling to become a 
vertically integrated water service specialist. During the year Vysarn 
continued to make quiet and considered progress in this next phase 
of the company’s strategic growth plan. 

Several major milestones were achieved by Pentium throughout 
the financial year such as consolidating Master Service Agreement 
extensions with Fortescue Metals Group and Roy Hill Iron Ore, 
obtaining formal ISO accreditation in safety, environment and 
quality, the rebuilding of two Foremost Dual Rotary rigs and the 
conversion of a conventional rig to one capable of Dual Tube 
Flooded Reverse. In the background to these milestones, group 
employee numbers more than doubled to in excess 100 staff 
members despite a challenging domestic labour market. 

The consolidated group entity produced earnings before interest tax 
and deprecation of $5.0 million, with a balance sheet showing net 
tangible assets of $24.76 million, of which $6.56 million was cash 
and cash equivalents. 

Vysarn is well positioned as it enters the new financial year. We 
have a diverse and talented management team, a core business on 
the cusp of steady state earnings, robust financial capacity and a 
clearly defined growth strategy. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank management and 
staff for their collective efforts over the last 12 months. The task of 
sourcing, rebuilding and deploying the company’s suite of assets in 
such a condensed timeframe has been no mean feat, particularly in 
light of persistent domestic service provider and labour shortages, 
as well as other supply chain constraints.

On behalf of the Board I would like to thank you for your ongoing 
support. In return we will work hard to provide our shareholders 
with long term sustainable value.

Sincerely,

Peter Hutchinson 
Chairman

Managing Director’s Report

Vysarn Limited (Vysarn or the Company) is reporting its first full 12 months of operations since its relisting 
on the Australian Securities Exchange in September 2019. It has been a year where management primarily 
focussed on the full deployment of the Company’s capital, people and equipment. This enabled the group 
to position the core of the business for an opportunity to reach operational and earnings steady state as it 
enters the new financial year. 

During this phase the Company has been able to produce credible earnings while maintaining a keen 
strategic focus on taking the Company from driller to a whole of life, end to end water service provider. 

Financial Performance
Vysarn’s revenue from operations to 30 June 2021 
of $25.82 million exceeded previous corresponding 
period revenue from operations by $13.91 million. 

Revenue from operations represented an average of 
seven out of the Company’s twelve drill rigs being 
deployed at any one time during the twelve months 
to 30 June 2021. Drill rig deployment peaked at 
ten rigs in the June quarter as final contracts were 
secured to enable 100% drill rig deployment entering 
the new financial year. While secured contracts 
enabled full drill rig deployment late in the period, 
timing and availability of third-party critical services 
(for rig modifications and upgrades) and supply 
chain constraints resulted in delays in rig readiness 
and subsequent actual mobilisations. These delays 
adversely affected anticipated revenue, particularly in 
the June quarter. 

Average monthly corporate overheads for the period 
were approximately $0.37 million per month. Monthly 
corporate overheads peaked at $0.45 million in 
the June quarter as the Company prepared for full 
deployment of Company drilling assets and drilling 
staff. Maintainable consolidated corporate overheads 
(excluding interest and depreciation) are anticipated 
to stabilise at approximately $0.44 million per month 
other than cost increases associated with future 
growth initiatives. 

Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and 
Amortisation (EBITDA) were $5.00 million as guided 
in May 2021. The Company made a deliberate 
and strategic decision during the June quarter to 
attract and retain key drilling employees in a highly 
competitive labour market. This decision was to 
ensure the availability of guaranteed labour in 
anticipation of full rig utilisation in early FY2022.

Financial Performance continued…

Consequently, the labour overhead in the June 
quarter was disproportionately high compared to the 
average number of rigs utilised in the same period 
which impacted on EBITDA in the final quarter. 

The approximate $1.0 million impact was a result 
of not having all rigs operational from early in the 
June quarter and the additional drilling labour costs 
incurred pertaining to these rigs.

Net Profit Before Tax (NPBT) was $1.14 million for 
the 12 months to 30 June 2021. In the period the 

Company utilised the ATO’s instant asset write-off 
which increased the Company’s existing deferred  
tax liability and created an income tax expense of 
$0.79 million (non-cash). The Company is currently 
carrying tax losses of $9.2 million that can be used to 
offset future taxable income.  

The Company’s balance sheet shows Net Tangible 
Assets of $24.76 million and Net Current Assets of 
$3.93 million. Cash and Cash Equivalent position was 
$6.56 million and net debt was $6.24 million as at 
Balance Sheet date of 30 June 2021. 

Operational Update
Throughout FY2021 Vysarn’s wholly owned subsidiary 
Pentium Hydro Pty Ltd (Pentium) primarily focussed 
on positioning itself to reach an operational and 
earnings steady state where all staff and equipment 
is deployed and fully utilised. 

Pentium successfully executed significant Master 
Service Agreement extensions in FY2021 with key 
clients Fortescue Metals Group (3 years plus a 2 
year option) and Roy Hill Iron Ore (3.5 years and 1 
year option). These two contracts are anticipated 
to provide long term utilisation for up to 75% of the 
Pentium fleet for the mid to long term. 

Pentium also executed a 12 month scope of work 
contract with Australian Potash, a 6 month scope 
of work contract with past client Iluka Resources 
and extended a dry hire agreement with Easternwell 
Minerals in the period. 

The contract pipeline established in FY2021 gives the 
Company the opportunity to deploy and maintain 
100% utilisation of Pentium’s entire fleet of 12 Company 
owned drill rigs and ancillary equipment in the 2022 
financial year. Contracted work is currently in excess of 
Company fleet capacity.  Pentium has supplemented 
rig numbers via rental arrangements to meet the 
demand and is on the cusp of having 13 rigs deployed 
while establishing short term capacity to deploy up to 
14 rigs should further demand materialise. 

The domestic labour market for hydrogeological 
drilling professionals continues to be challenging. 
Despite this backdrop the Company has been able 
to grow employee headcount during FY2021 from 55 
staff members to in excess of 100 staff members 
across hydrogeological operations management and 
drilling contractors. 

Pentium has now successfully completed the rebuild 
of two Foremost Dual Rotary rigs purchased from 
New Zealand in 2020 and upgraded a Schramm 
T130XD from a casing advance/conventional drill 
rig to Dual Tube Flooded Reverse. The most recent 
rig improvement has meant that Pentium has 
become one of the largest pure hydrogeological 
drilling companies in Australia and to the Company’s 
knowledge is the only domestic hydrogeological 
drilling company that can provide three drilling 
services across Dual Rotary, Dual Tube Flooded 
Reverse and Conventional drilling. Strategically 
this positions Pentium with the ability to service 
any client in any geography, commodity or ground 
setting across Australia subject to the availability of 
equipment. 

While the Dual Rotary component of Pentium’s fleet 
has proven to be a significant competitive moat 
for the Company with sustained high demand for 
this equipment, the upgrade of a rig to Dual Tube

Continuous 
Improvement in Safety
The board and management are committed 
to the continuous improvement in our safety 
standards to provide our employees and clients 
safe environments to work. Safety is one of our 
Company’s core values empowering our people 
to stop the job should they have a safety concern 
or query. We continue to improve by providing our 
people with ongoing training programs and robust 
safety management systems.

The ISO accreditation achieved in safety during 
the period underpins our commitment to meeting 
these exacting standards.  

Annual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2021

Operational Update continued…

Flooded Reverse has attracted considerable industry 
interest from both current and prospective clients. 
The Company is in a position to consider two further 
upgrades of Pentium owned T130XDs should there 
be a continued level of interest from current and 
prospective clients for Dual Tube Flooded Reverse 
drilling services. 

Pentium formally achieved ISO accreditation in 
occupational health and safety management systems 
(ISO 45001:2018), quality management systems (ISO 
9001:2015) and environmental management systems 
(ISO 14001:2015) in the financial year. As anticipated, 
this has proven to be invaluable in helping the 
Company to position itself as a preferred contractor 
for all tiers of current and prospective clients across 
multiple industry sectors requiring hydrogeological 
drilling services. 

Leading into the new financial year Pentium is 
positioned to meet the continued demand for water 
well services. Management anticipates that Pentium’s 
current contractual arrangements in hand with an 
identified future tender pipeline for hydrogeological 
drilling services will help support opportunities for 
ongoing full asset utilisation and sustained steady 
state earnings. 

Managing Director’s Report

Outlook and Strategy
The hydrogeological drilling market continues 
to experience strong trading conditions which is 
reflected in the Company’s current contract pipeline. 
Current contracts in hand underpin the opportunity 
to maintain full utilisation of Pentium’s rig fleet 
throughout FY2022. As such, subject to maintaining 
100% rig utilisation the Company is budgeting FY2022 
EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation 
and amortisation) to be between $10.0 million and 
$11.0 million, noting that earnings are also conditional 
upon unbudgeted wet weather events, unforeseen 
repairs and maintenance and other unbudgeted 
operational expenses.

In addition to Pentium targeting sustained full 
asset utilisation, the Company’s broader strategic 
focus is to move from being a hydrogeological 
drilling specialist in FY2021 to becoming a vertically 
integrated whole of life end to end water service 
provider in FY2022 and beyond. In line with this 
strategy, the board and management of Vysarn are 
actively looking to execute organic or acquisitive 
entries into services upstream and downstream 
of hydrogeological drilling. In September 2021 
the Company entered into a binding Share Sale 
Agreement to acquire Yield Test Pumping. 

The ongoing strength in the mine related water 
thematic and the continued interest from current 
and prospective clients to offer them a broader range 
of water related services than just hydrogeological 
drilling has the potential to provide Vysarn with a 
unique growth opportunity. 

The Company has subsequently refined its expansion 
strategy over the last 12 months to focus on four 

broad stages of the water vertical that varying 
water related mining services fall into. These stages 
cover services in design, extraction, transfer and 
storage (use) of mine related water. While the 
Pentium business unit currently operates in only 
one small band of the water vertical, management 
has identified a range of services adjacent to 
hydrogeological drilling that could provide the 
Company with an initial entry point into becoming a 
multi-faceted water service provider. 

Driving an increase in shareholder value remains 
a key focus of Vysarn’s board and management. 
A successful execution of a vertical integration 
strategy would provide shareholders with a reduction 
in the concentration risk currently associated 
with the capital intensive, single service nature 
of hydrogeological drilling.  Providing multiple 
services also provides the Company a broader 
and differentiated competitive moat by being able 
to better service clients across multiple fronts as 
well providing cross selling opportunities across 
commodities, projects and specific clients. With 
diversification also comes the opportunity for an 
expansion in valuation multiples as the market 
recognises a diverse portfolio of services across 
water, diversified revenue streams and a balanced 
mix of capital light and capital intensive business 
units. 

Vysarn is well positioned entering FY2022. 
The Company is sufficiently funded, budgeting 
sustainable steady state earnings in its core 
business, has a clearly defined strategy with multiple 
growth prospects and is well placed to deliver long 
term, sustainable value for its shareholders.

4.  Review of Operations
This is the second annual report from the Company 
since it was reinstated on the ASX on 11 September 
2019 and commenced operations. It is also the 
Company’s first full financial year of operations since 
that date.

The Company focused on executing its operational 
and growth strategies throughout the period while 
continuing to set the foundations of its wholly 
subsidiary Pentium Hydro Pty Ltd ("Pentium Hydro"). 
The Company actively pursued horizontal and vertical 
integration opportunities to supplement Pentium 
Hydro’s core business of hydrogeological drilling. 
Organic and acquisitive entries into new services 
upstream and downstream of hydrogeological drilling 
were also investigated. 

Employee numbers increased significantly during the 
period as Pentium Hydro nears full deployment of its 
entire hydrogeological drilling fleet. 

The Company continues to receive strong demand for 
its services from major mining companies focusing on 
production across a diverse range of commodities. 

5.  Likely Developments
The Company will continue to pursue new contract 
opportunities in Australia for its hydrogeological and 
dewatering business activities.

6.  Financial Performance
The profit for the Company after providing for income 
tax amounted to $0.34 million (30 June 2020: $4.84 
million).

Working capital, being current assets less current 
liabilities, was $3.93 million (30 June 2020: $7.10 
million). The Company had positive cash flows from 
operating activities for the year amounting to $1.71 
million (2020: $1.99 million).

Operational revenue for the year ended 30 June 2021 
was $25.8 million (2020: $11.9 million). The strong 
growth was generated primarily from obtaining new 
water well drilling contracts and deploying additional 
drill rigs.

Given the size of the Company, the full Board meet in their capacity as Audit and Risk Committee and 
Remuneration and Nomination Committee (“Committees”) and all matters are dealt with by the full Board in 
their capacity as members of the Committees.

13. Indemnity & Insurance of Officers
To the extent permitted by law, the Company has 
indemnified the Directors and executives of the 
Company for costs incurred, in their capacity as a 
Director or executive, for which they may be held 
personally liable.

During the financial year, the Company paid a 
premium in respect of a contract to insure the 
Directors and executives of the Company against a 
liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations 
Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits 
disclosure of the nature of the liability and the 
amount of the premium.

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be 
incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that 
may be brought against the officers in their capacity 
as officers in the Company, and any other payments 

arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in 
connection with such proceedings. This does not 
include such liabilities that arise from conduct 
involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or 
the improper use by the officers of their position or 
of information to gain advantage for themselves or 
someone else or to cause detriment to the Company. 
It is not possible to apportion the premium between 
amounts relating to the insurance against legal costs 
and those relating to other liabilities.

Indemnity and Insurance of Auditor

financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the 
auditor of the Company or any related entity against

1.  Introduction 
KMP have authority and responsibility for planning, 
directing and controlling the major activities of the 
Group. KMP comprise the Directors of the Company.

Compensation levels for KMP are competitively 
set to attract and retain appropriately qualified 
and experienced Directors and executives. The 
Board may seek independent advice on the 
appropriateness of compensation packages, given 
the trend in comparative companies both locally 
and internationally and objectives of the Company’s 
compensation strategy. 

Principles used to determine the nature and amount 
of remuneration

The objective of the Company's executive reward 
framework is to ensure reward for performance is 
competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. 
The framework aligns executive reward with the 
achievement of strategic objectives and the creation 
of value for shareholders, and it is considered to 
conform to the market best practice for the delivery 
of reward. The Board of Directors (“the Board”) 
ensures that executive reward satisfies the following 
key criteria for good reward governance practices:

	V Competitiveness and reasonableness;

	V Acceptability to shareholders;

	V Performance linkage/alignment of executive 

compensation;

	V Transparency; and

	V Capital management.

The Board is responsible for determining and 
reviewing remuneration arrangements for its 
Directors and executives. The performance of the 
Company depends on the quality of its Directors and 
executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, 
motivate and retain high performing and high-quality 
personnel. The Company has structured a market 
competitive executive remuneration framework. The 
reward framework is designed to align executive 
reward to shareholders' interests. 

The Board has considered that it should seek to 
enhance shareholders' interests by:

	V Focusing on shareholder value and returns; and

	V Attracting and retaining high caliber executives.

	V Additionally, the reward framework should seek to 

enhance executives' interests by:

	V Rewarding capability and experience;

	V Reflecting a competitive reward for contribution to 

growth in shareholder wealth;

	V Providing a clear structure for earning rewards; and

	V Providing recognition for contribution.

Remuneration Report (Audited)

2.  Remuneration Governance
The Directors believe the Company is not currently of a size nor are its affairs of such complexity as to 
warrant the establishment of a separate remuneration committee. Accordingly, all remuneration matters are 
considered by the full Board of Directors, in accordance with a nomination and remuneration committee 
charter. During the financial year, the Company did not engage any remuneration consultants.

3.  Executive Remuneration Arrangement
The compensation structures are designed to 
attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the 
achievement of strategic objectives, and achieve 
the broader outcome of creation of value for 
shareholders. Compensation packages may 
include a mix of fixed compensation, equity-based 
compensation, as well as employer contributions 
to superannuation funds. Shares and options may 
only be issued to Directors subject to approval by 
shareholders in a general meeting.

Remuneration for certain individuals is directly 
linked to the performance of the Company. A portion 
of cash bonus and incentive payments, including 
performance rights, are dependent on defined 
earnings per share targets being met. The remaining 
portion of the cash bonus and incentive payments 
are at the discretion of the Board.

Consolidated Entity Performance and 
Link to Remuneration

The Board is of the opinion that the continued 
improved results can be attributed in part to the 
adoption of performance-based compensation and 
is satisfied that this improvement will continue to 
increase shareholder wealth if maintained over the 
coming years.

Voting and comments made at the company's 2020 
Annual General Meeting (“AGM”)

The Company received more than 99% of "yes" votes 
on its remuneration report for the 2020 financial 
year. The Company did not receive any specific 
feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its 
remuneration practices.

The compensation structures take into account:

	V The capability and experience of the executive;

	V The executive’s ability to control the relevant 

segment’s performance; and

	V The Company’s performance including:

	V The Company’s earnings; and

	V The growth in share price and delivering 
constant returns on shareholder wealth.

The short-term incentives (“STI”) program is designed 
to align the targets of the business units with the 
performance hurdles of executives. STI payments 
are granted to executives based on specific annual 
targets and key performance indicators (“KPI's”) being 
achieved. KPI's include profit contribution, customer 
satisfaction, leadership contribution and product 
management. The long-term incentives (“LTI”) include 
long service leave and share-based payments. 
Shares are awarded to executives based on long-
term incentive measures. These include increase 
in shareholders’ value relative to the entire market. 
The Board reviewed the long-term equity-linked 
performance incentives specifically for executives 
during the year ended 30 June 2021.

	V Employment condition

	V Employment condition – means the holder of the Rights remains employed by the Company at the 

condition Test Date; and

	V Cumulative EPS condition – means the earnings per share (EPS) based on the achievement of compound 
annual growth in the Company’s EPS of 15% per annum from the financial year 30 June 2020, subject to a 
minimum EPS of $0.01 for the financial year ending 30 June 2020.  The EPS calculation will be based on the 
Company’s cumulative net profit after tax up until the relevant condition test date divided by the weighted 
average number of shares on issue over the relevant period, taking into account any new shares issued (or 
cancelled by the Company in the relevant period).

6. Share-based Compensation continued…

The executive performance rights have been valued 
based on the Company’s share price as at the date of 
their approval for issue. A total valuation of $575,000 
has been determined, assuming satisfaction of 
performance conditions in full and 100% vesting rate.  

At 30 June 2021, the Company has assessed 
the likelihood of the achievement of the vesting 
conditions in respect of tranches 1 – 3 of the 
executive performance rights and determined 
that the achievement of the vesting conditions is 
uncertain at this point in time.

As a result, Management have applied varying 
probabilities of the performance conditions being 
met, resulting the fair value of the performance 
rights at 30 June 2021 to be $143,750 (2020: nil). An 
expense of $88,293 has been recognised (2020: nil) in 
line with the vesting periods per class, representing 
the Company’s best estimate of the performance 
rights that will eventually vest.

C.  Options
During the year ended 30 June 2021, no options 
over ordinary shares have been granted to key 
management personnel as remuneration. Further, 
during the reporting period, there were no shares 
issued on the exercise of options previously granted 
as compensation.

i. Options over equity instruments

During and since the end of the financial year, 
the Company did not issue ordinary shares as 
a result of the exercise of options (there are no 
amounts unpaid on the shares issued).

The movement during the reporting period in the 
number of options over ordinary shares in the 
Company held, directly, indirectly or beneficially, 
by each key management personnel, including 
their related parties, is as follows:

In relation to the independent audit for the year ended 30 June 2021, to the best of my 
knowledge and belief there have been:

TO THE MEMBERS OF 
VYSARN LIMITED  

(i)  No contraventions of the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 

2001; and
Other Information 
(ii) No contraventions of APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants

(including Independence Standards).

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 
PITCHER PARTNERS BA&A PTY LTD
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. 
PAUL MULLIGAN 
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 
Executive Director 
Perth, 27 August 2021
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that 
gives  a  true  and  fair  view  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  the 
Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to 
enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the 
Group  to  continue  as  a  going  concern,  disclosing,  as  applicable,  matters  related  to  going 
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to 
liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

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.

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, intentional omissions, 

misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Vysarn Limited (ABN 41 124 212 175) and controlled entities

Notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements

Note 1:  General Information
Vysarn Limited is a listed public Company limited by 
shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The 
Company is a for-profit entity. Its registered office 
and principal place of business is 108 Outram Street, 
West Perth, WA 6005.

The financial statements are presented in Australian 
dollars, which is Vysarn Limited’s functional and 
presentation currency.

The financial statements were authorised for issue, 
in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 25 
August 2021. The Directors have the power to amend 
and reissue the financial statements.

Note 2:  Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

A.  Statement of Compliance 

These financial statements are general purpose 
financial statements which have been prepared in 
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards 
(“AASBs”) (including Australian interpretations) 
adopted by the Australian Accounting Standard 
Board (“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001. These 
financial statements also comply with International 
Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’). 

B.  Basis of Preparation

The financial statements, except for cash flow 
information, have been prepared on an accruals 
basis and are based on historical costs, modified, 
where applicable, by the measurement at fair value 
of selected non-current assets, financial assets 
and financial liabilities. Amounts are presented in 
Australian dollars and have been rounded off to the 
nearest dollar, unless stated otherwise.

i. Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in 
conformity with AASBs requires management to 
make judgements, estimates and assumptions 
that affect the application of accounting policies 
and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, 
income and expenses. Actual results may differ 
from these estimates. Estimates and underlying 
assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing 
basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are 
recognised in the period in which the estimate 
is revised and in any future periods affected. 
The judgements estimates and assumptions 
that have a significant risk of causing a material 
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities within the next financial year are 
discussed in “Note 2AC” on page 40.

ii. Changes In Accounting Estimates - Plant 

and Equipment

Depreciation of plant and equipment 
constitutes a substantial operating cost for 
the Group. The cost of fixed assets Is charged 
as a depreciation expense over the estimated 
useful lives of the respective assets using the 
straight-line method and Its reflected In the 
Group’s statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive Income. 

The Group decided to revise the useful life of 
certain classes of plant and equipment during 
the half year, from 7 years to 10 years. The basis 
of this change was as a result of a number of 
Internal factors including;

	V A greater understanding of asset conditions 
and their expected operating useful lives, 
gained over the last 12 months since the 
Group established its operation;

	V Industry considerations and guidance 
Including peer reviews conducted; and

	V Discussions with suitably qualified and 

experienced Internal personnel as to Group’s 
assets and their past experience with similar 
plant and equipment.

In implementing the revised useful lives, the 
Group has applied the change in depreciation 
based on an assessment of individual asset 
useful lives prospectively, from 1 July 2020, 
as required under Australian Accounting 
Standards. As a result of the change in estimate, 
depreciation for the 30 June 2021 year decreased 
from approximately $3,802,993 to $3,227,648. 
Further information on the Group’s Plant and 
Equipment Is contained within “Note 15” on page 
48 of this report

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies continued…

C.  Going Concern

E.  Principles of Consolidation

The financial statements have been prepared on 
the basis that the entity is a going concern, which 
contemplates the continuity of normal business 
activity, realisation of assets and settlement of 
liabilities in the normal course of business. 

The Directors have reviewed a budget/forecast and 
having considered the above, are of the opinion that 
the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and 
that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and 
when they fall due for the next 12 months. 

D.  Adoption of New Accounting 

Standards

The Company has adopted all of the new, revised or 
amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations 
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board 
(‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting 
period

Other than the changes described below, the 
accounting policies adopted are consistent with 
those of the previous financial year.

AASB 2019-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards - References to the “Conceptual 
Framework”

AASB 2019-1 amends Australian Accounting Standards 
to reflect the issue of the Conceptual Framework. The 
revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual 
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 
and early adoption is permitted. The Conceptual 
Framework contains new definition and recognition 
criteria as well as new guidance on measurement 
that affects several Accounting Standards. Where 
the Company has relied on the existing framework in 
determining its accounting policies for transactions, 
events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt 
with under the Australian Accounting Standards, the 
Company may need to review such policies under the 
revised framework. The application of AASB 2019-1 has 
not materially impacted the financial statements of 
the group. 

AASB 2019-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Disclosure of the Effect of New IFRS 
Standards Not Yet Issued in Australia

AASB 2019-5 makes amendments to AASB 1054 
Australian Additional Disclosures by adding a 
disclosure requirement for an entity intending 
to comply with IFRS Standards to disclose the 
information required by paragraph 30 of AASB 108 
(regarding disclosing the effect of new standards not 
yet issued) to IFRS Standards that have not yet been 
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board. 
AASB 2019-5 mandatorily applies to annual reporting 
periods commencing on or after 1 January 2020 and 
will be first applied by the Group in the financial year 
commencing 1 July 2020. The application of AASB 
2019-5 has not materially impacted the financial 
statements of the group.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the 
financial statements of the Group and its subsidiary 
as at 30 June 2021.  Control is achieved when the 
Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns 
from its involvement with the investee and has the 
ability to affect those returns through its power over 
the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an 
investee if and only if the Group has:

	V Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give 
it the current ability to direct the relevant activities 
of the investee); 

	V Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its 

involvement with the investee, and 

	V The ability to use its power over the investee to 

affect its returns.

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting 
or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all 
relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether 
it has power over an investee, including:

	V The contractual arrangement with the other vote 

holders of the investee, 

	V Rights arising from other contractual 

arrangements, 

	V The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights. 

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls 
an investee if facts and circumstances indicate 
that there are changes to one or more of the three 
elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary 
begins when the Group obtains control over the 
subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control 
of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and 
expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of 
during the year are included in the statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income from 
the date the Group gains control until the date the 
Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

F.  Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, 
deposits available on demand with banks with 
original maturity of three months or less.

G.  Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers 
for goods or services performed in the ordinary 
course of business. They are generally due for 
settlement within 30 days and therefore are 
all classified as current.  Trade receivables are 
recognised initially at the amount of consideration 
that is unconditional which is considered to be 
fair value; none of the Group’s trade receivables 
contain a financing component. The Group holds the 
trade receivables with the objective to collect the 
contractual cashflows and therefore measures them 
subsequently at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method.

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach 
to measuring expected credit losses which uses 
a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade 
receivables and contract assets.

34

Vysarn Limited (ABN 41 124 212 175) and controlled entities

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies continued…

To measure the expected credit losses, trade 
receivables have been grouped based on share 
credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The 
expected loss rates are based on existing market 
conditions and forward-looking estimates at the end 
of each reporting period. 

H.  Inventories

Inventories, including raw materials and stores, 
work in progress and contract fulfilment costs 
are measured at the lower of cost and net 
realisable value.  The cost of inventories comprises; 
expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and 
the costs incurred in bringing them to their existing 
location and condition, including direct materials, 
direct labour and an appropriate proportion of 
variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter 
being allocated on the basis of normal operating 
capacity. Net realisable value is the estimated selling 
price in the ordinary course of business, less the 
estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

I.  Plant & Equipment 

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost 
or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated 
depreciation. 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 Group and the cost of the item can be 
measured reliably.  All other repairs and maintenance 
are charged to profit or loss during the financial 
period in which they are incurred.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, 
plant and equipment are determined by comparing 
the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount 
of property, plant and equipment and are recognised 
net within other income / (expense) in the statement 
of profit or loss.  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.

i. Depreciation

Depreciation is a systematic allocation of the 
depreciable amount of an asset over its useful 
life.  The depreciable amount is the cost of 
the asset, less its residual value. An asset is 
depreciated from the date it is ready for use, 
meaning the date it reaches the location and 
condition required for it to operate in the 
manner intended by management. Depreciation 
is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-
line basis over the estimated useful lives of 
each part of the fixed asset item, since this 
most closely reflects the expected pattern of 
consumption of the future economic benefits 
embodied in the assets.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

	V Plant and equipment – 2 - 10 years; 

	V Computer equipment – 3 years; and

	V Trucks, trailers and light vehicles – 4 - 10 

years.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual 
values are reviewed at the end of each reporting 
period and adjusted if appropriate.

J.  Right-of-use Assets

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the 
commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use 
asset is measured at cost, which comprises the 
initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as 
applicable, any lease payments made at or before 
the commencement date net of any lease incentives 
received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, 
except where included in the cost of inventories, 
an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for 
dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and 
restoring the site or asset.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-
line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or 
the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is 
the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects 
to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the 
end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its 
estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject 
to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of 
lease liabilities.

The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a 
right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for 
short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and 
leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these 
assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

K.  Lease Liabilities

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement 
date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised 
at the present value of the lease payments to be 
made over the term of the lease, discounted using the 
interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot 
be readily determined, the consolidated entity’s 
incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise 
of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, 
variable lease payments that depend on an index or 
a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual 
value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option 
when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain 
to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. 
The variable lease payments that do not depend on 
an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which 
they are incurred.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost 
using the effective interest method. The carrying 
amounts are remeasured if there is a change 
in the following: future lease payments arising 
from a change in an index or a rate used; residual 
guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase 
option and termination penalties. When a lease 
liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the 
corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if

Note 2: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies continued…

the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully 
written down.

L.  Trade and Other Payables

Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts 
carried at cost which is the fair value of the 
consideration to be paid in the future for goods and 
services received, whether or not billed to the Group. 
Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised 
as an expense on an accruals basis.

M. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a 
legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past 
events, for which it is probable that an outflow of 
economic benefits will result and that outflow can be 
reliably measured. Provisions are measured using the 
best estimate of the amounts required to settle the 
obligation at the end of the reporting period. 

either over time in accordance with specified 
units of production (for example meters drilled 
or hours worked) or a point in time when risks 
and rewards pass to the customer under those 
contracts (for example the sale of certain items 
including consumables).

For rental of equipment, as the customer 
simultaneously receives and consumes the 
benefits, the Group has an enforceable right 
to payment and as such the performance 
obligation is satisfied over time.

The Group has no material contracts where 
the period between the transfer of the 
promised goods or services to the customer 
and payment by the customer exceeds one 
year. As a consequence, the Group does not 
adjust any of the transaction prices for the 
time value of money.

N.  Borrowings

ii. Contract Assets and Liabilities

AASB 15 uses the terms “contract asset” 
and “contract liability” to describe what is 
commonly known as “accrued revenue” and 
“deferred revenue.”  Accrued revenue arises 
where work has been performed however is 
yet to be invoiced. Deferred revenue arises 
where payment Is received prior to work being 
performed and is allocated to the performance 
obligations within the contract and recognised 
on satisfaction of the performance obligation.

iii. Contract Fulfilment Costs

Costs generally incurred prior to the 
commencement of a contract may arise due 
to mobilisation/site setup costs as these costs 
are incurred to fulfil a contract.  Where the 
costs are expected to be recovered, they are 
capitalised and expensed over the period of 
revenue recognition.  Where the costs, or a 
portion of these costs, are reimbursed by the 
customer, the amount received is recognised as 
deferred revenue.

Contract fulfilment costs are capitalised as 
an asset when all the following are met: (i) 
the costs relate directly to the contract or 
specifically identifiable proposed contract; (ii) 
the costs generate or enhance resources of the 
consolidated entity that will be used to satisfy 
future performance obligations; and (iii) the 
costs are expected to be recovered. Contract 
fulfilment costs are amortised on a straight-line 
basis over the term of the contract, or a period 
of 12 months for long term contracts greater 
than 12 months in duration.

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, 
net of transaction costs incurred.  Borrowings are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost.  Any 
difference between the proceeds (net of transaction 
costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in 
the profit or loss over the period of the borrowings 
using the effective interest method.  Fees paid on 
the establishment of loan facilities, which are not 
incremental costs relating the actual draw-down 
of the facility, are recognised as prepayments and 
amortised on a straight -line basis over the term of 
the facility.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless 
the Group has an unconditional right to defer 
settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after 
the reporting date.

O.  Equity and reserves

Share capital represents the fair value of shares that 
have been issued. Any transaction costs associated 
with the issuing of shares are deducted from share 
capital, net of any related income tax benefits. The 
share-based payment reserve records the value of 
share-based payments.

P.  Revenue Recognition

i. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Group provides drilling services and hires drill 
rigs and related equipment to the exploration and 
mining industry pursuant to service contracts 
with a variety of clients in the sector.

The revenue associated with drilling contracts is 
recognised in accordance with AASB 15 Revenue 
From Contracts from Customers, that is in a 
manner that depicts the transfer of promised 
goods or services to customers in an amount 
that reflects the consideration to which the 
Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for 
those goods or services. Revenue from customer 
contracts is recognised upon satisfaction of a 
performance obligation under those contracts 

36

Vysarn Limited (ABN 41 124 212 175) and controlled entities

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies continued…

iv. Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as interest 
accrues using the effective interest method. 
This is a method of calculating the amortised 
cost of a financial asset and allocating the 
interest income over the relevant period 
using the effective interest rate, which is the 
rate that exactly discounts estimated future 
cash receipts through the expected life of the 
financial asset to the net carrying amount of 
the financial asset.

v. Government grants

Government grants are recognised where there 
is reasonable assurance that the grant will 
be received and all attached conditions will 
be complied with. When the grant relates to 
an expense item, it is recognised as income 
on a systematic basis over the periods that 
the related costs, for which it is intended to 
compensate, are expensed. 

When the grant relates to an asset, it is 
recognised as reducing the carrying amount of 
the asset. 

vi. Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received 
or when the right to receive payment is 
established.

Q.  Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the 
period in which they are incurred.

R.  Employee Benefits

i. Wages, Salaries and Annual Leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries and annual 
leave are recognised and measured as the 
amount unpaid at the reporting date at current 
pay rates in respect of employees’ services up 
to that date.

ii. Superannuation

Contributions to employee superannuation 
plans are charged as an expense as the 
contributions are paid or become payable.

iii. Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including 
non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long 
service leave expected to be settled wholly 
within 12 months of the reporting date are 
measured at the amounts expected to be paid 
when the liabilities are settled.

iv. Other long-term employee benefits

The liability for annual leave and long service 
leave not expected to be settled within 12 
months of the reporting date are measured at 

the present value of expected future payments 
to be made in respect of services provided by 
employees up to the reporting date 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 reporting 
date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity 
and currency that match, as closely as possible, 
the estimated future cash outflows.

v. Equity-settled compensation

Share-based payments to Directors are 
measured at the fair value of the instruments 
issued and amortised over the vesting 
periods see v. The fair value of performance 
rights is determined using the satisfaction 
of certain non-market performance criteria 
(performance milestones). The number of share 
options and probability of performance rights 
expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at 
the end of each reporting period such that 
the amount recognised for services received 
as consideration for the equity instruments 
granted is based on the number of equity 
instruments that eventually vest. The fair value 
is determined using a Black Scholes or Hoadley 
pricing model.

S.  Fair Value Measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, 
is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure 
purposes, the fair value is based on the price that 
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer 
a liability in an orderly transaction between market 
participants at the measurement date; and assumes 
that the transaction will take place either: in the 
principal market; or in the absence of a principal 
market, in the most advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that 
market participants would use when pricing the 
asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic 
best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value 
measurement is based on its highest and best use. 
Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the 
circumstances and for which sufficient data are 
available to measure fair value, are used, maximising 
the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising 
the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are 
classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy 
that reflects the significance of the inputs used 
in making the measurements. Classifications are 
reviewed at each reporting date and transfers 
between levels are determined based on a 
reassessment of the lowest level of input that is 
significant to the fair value measurement.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value 
measurements, external valuers may be used when 
internal expertise is either not available or when 
the valuation is deemed to be significant. External 
valuers are selected based on market knowledge 

Annual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2021

37

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies continued…

and reputation. Where there is a significant change 
in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to 
another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a 
verification of the major inputs applied in the latest 
valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with 
external sources of data.

T.  Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

	V the profit attributable to member of the parent 

entity, excluding any costs of servicing equity other 
than ordinary shares

	V by the weighted average number of ordinary shares 
outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for 
bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during 
the year (if any).

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

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

	V the weighted average number of additional 

ordinary shares that would have been outstanding 
assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential 
ordinary shares.

U.  Non-Current Assets Held For Sale

Non-current assets that are expected to be 
recovered primarily through sale rather than through 
continuing use are classified as held for sale. 
Immediately before classification as held for sale, 
the assets are remeasured in accordance with the 
Group’s accounting policies. Thereafter generally the 
assets are measured at the lower of their carrying 
amount and fair value less cost to sell. Impairment 
losses on initial classification as held for sale and 
subsequent gains or losses on re-measurement are 
recognised in profit or loss. Gains are not recognised 
in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.

V.  Share Based Payments

Share-based payments are measured at the fair 
value of goods or services received or the fair value 
of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined 
the fair value of the goods or services cannot be 
reliably measured, and are recorded at the date 
the goods or services are received. Share-based 
payment transactions are recognised in equity if 
the goods or services were received in an equity-
settled share-based payment transaction, or as a 
liability if the goods and services were acquired in a 
cash settled share-based payment transaction. The 
fair value of options is determined using a Black-
Scholes or Hoadley pricing model.  The number of 
share options and performance rights expected to 
vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each 
reporting period such that the amount recognised 
for services received as consideration for the equity 
instruments granted is based on the number of 
equity instruments that eventually vest.

The Group initially 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.  Estimating fair value 
for share-based payment transactions requires 
determination of the most appropriate valuation 
model, which is dependent on the terms and 
conditions of the grant.

This estimate also requires determination of the most 
appropriate inputs to the valuation model including 
the expected life of the share option, volatility and 
dividend yield and making assumptions about 
them, as well as an assessment of the probability of 
achieving non-market based vesting conditions.

The probability of achieving non-market based 
vesting conditions of performance rights is assessed 
at each reporting period.

The Company has applied judgement in assessing 
the likelihood of achieving the performance 
milestones in relation to the performance rights 
issued in the period. 

W. Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into 
Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing 
at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange 
gains and losses resulting from the settlement 
of such transactions and from the translation at 
financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets 
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are 
recognised in profit or loss.

X.  Income Tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period 
is the tax payable on that period’s taxable income 
based on the applicable income tax rate for each 
jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred 
tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary 
differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment 
recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised 
for temporary differences at the tax rates expected 
to be applied when the assets are recovered or 
liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that 
are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

	V When the deferred income tax asset or liability 
arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or 
an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a 
business combination and that, at the time of the 
transaction, affects neither the accounting nor 
taxable profits; or

	V When the taxable temporary difference is 
associated with interests in subsidiaries, 
associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the 
reversal can be controlled and it is probable that 
the temporary difference will not reverse in the 
foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible 
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.

Vysarn Limited (ABN 41 124 212 175) and controlled entities

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies continued…

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised 
deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting 
date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to 
the extent that it is no longer probable that future 
taxable profits will be available for the carrying 
amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised 
deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that 
it is probable that there are future taxable profits 
available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only 
where there is a legally enforceable right to offset 
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and 
deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; 
and they relate to the same taxable authority on 
either the same taxable entity or different taxable 
entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

i. Tax consolidation

The Group and its wholly owned Australian 
resident entity formed a tax-consolidated group 
effective 28 August 2019.  As a consequence, 
all members of the tax-consolidated group are 
taxed as a single entity from that date.  The 
head entity within the tax-consolidated group is 
Vysarn Limited.

Current tax expense/income, deferred tax 
liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from 
temporary differences of the members of the 
tax-consolidated group are recognised in the 
separate financial statements of the members 
of the tax-consolidated group using the 
“separate taxpayer within group” approach by 
reference to the carrying amounts of assets and 
liabilities in the separate financial statements 
of each entity and the tax values applying under 
tax consolidation.

Any current tax liabilities (or assets) and 
deferred tax assets arising from unused tax 
losses of the subsidiaries are assumed by 
the head entity in the tax-consolidated group 
and are recognised by the Group as amounts 
payable (receivable) to/(from) other entities in 
the tax-consolidated group in conjunction with 
any tax funding arrangement amounts (refer 
below).  Any difference between these amounts 
is recognised by the Group as an equity 
contribution or distribution.

The Group recognises deferred tax assets 
arising from unused tax losses of the tax-
consolidated group to the extent that it is 
probable that future taxable profits of the 
tax-consolidated group will be available against 
which the asset can be utilised.

Any subsequent period adjustments to deferred 
tax assets arising from unused tax losses as a 
result of revised assessments of the probability 
of recoverability is recognised by the head 
entity only.

Y.  Financial Instruments 

i. Initial recognition and measurement 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are 
recognised when the Company becomes a 
party to the contractual provisions to the 
instrument. For financial assets, this is the date 
that the Company commits itself to either the 
purchase or sale of the assets (i.e. trade date 
accounting is adopted). 

ii. Classification and subsequent 

measurement 

Financial liabilities

Financial instruments are subsequently 
measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest methods.

The effective interest method is a method 
of calculating the amortised cost of a debt 
instrument and of allocating interest expense 
in profit or loss over the relevant period. The 
effective interest rate is the internal rate of 
return of the financial asset or liability. That is, it 
is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated 
future cash flows through the expected life of 
the instrument to the net carrying amount at 
initial recognition. 

Financial assets 

Financial assets are subsequently measured at 
fair value through profit or loss. 

The initial designation of the financial 
instruments to measure at fair value through 
profit or loss is a one-time option on initial 
classification and is irrevocable until the 
financial asset is derecognised. 

iii. Derecognition 

Derecognition refers to the removal of a 
previously recognised financial asset or financial 
liability from the statement of financial position.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A liability is derecognised when it is 
extinguished (ie, when the obligation in the 
contract is discharged, cancelled or expires). 
An exchange of an existing financial liability for 
a new one with substantially modified terms, 
or a substantial modification to the terms of a 
financial liability is treated as an extinguishment 
of the existing liability and recognition of a new 
financial liability. 

The difference between the carrying amount 
of the financial liability derecognised and the 
consideration paid and payable, including 
any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities 
assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Annual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2021

39

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies continued…

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised when the 
holder’s contractual rights to its cash flows 
expire, or the asset is transferred in such a way 
that all the risks and rewards of ownership are 
substantially transferred. 

All the following criteria need to be satisfied for 
derecognition of financial assets:

	V the right to receive cash flows from the asset 

has expired or been transferred;

	V all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset 

have been substantially transferred; and 

	V the Company no longer controls the asset 
(ie, the Company has no practical ability to 
make a unilateral decision to sell the asset to 
a third party). 

Z.  Impairment of Non-financial Assets

Goodwill and other 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 non-
financial assets are reviewed 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.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair 
value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The 
value-in-use is the present value of the estimated 
future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax 
discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating 
unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not 
have independent cash flows are grouped together to 
form a cash-generating unit.

AA.  Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) 

and other similar taxes

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

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

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

AB.  New Accounting Standards not 

yet adopted 

Australian Accounting Standards and interpretations 
that have recently been issued or amended but are 
not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted 
by the Company for the annual reporting period 
ended 30 June 2021. The Company’s assessment 
of the impact of these new or amended Accounting 
Standards and interpretations, most relevant to the 
Company, are set out below.

AASB 2020-1: Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Classification of Liabilities as Current or 
Non-current

AASB 2020-1 amends AASB 101 Presentation of 
Financial Statements to clarify requirements for the 
presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial 
position as current or non-current.  AASB 2020-
1 mandatorily applies to annual reporting periods 
commencing on or after 1 January 2023 and will 
be first applied by the Group in the financial year 
commencing 1 July 2023.

AASB 2020-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Annual Improvements 2018 – 2020 and 
Other Amendments

AASB 2020-3 amends AASB 1 First-time Adoption of 
Australian Accounting Standards, AASB 3 Business 
Combinations, AASB 9 Financial Instruments, 
AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment, AASB 137 
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent 
Assets and AASB 141 Agriculture as a consequence 
of the recent issuance by IASB of the following IFRS: 
Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020, 
Reference to the Conceptual Framework, Property, 
Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use 
and Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract. 
AASB 2020-3 mandatorily applies to annual reporting 
periods commencing on or after 1 January 2022 and 
will be first applied by the Group in the financial year 
commencing 1 July 2022.

The likely impact of the above accounting standards 
not yet adopted on the financial statements of the 
Company is yet to be determined.

AC.  Critical accounting judgements, 
estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires 
management to make judgements, estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in 
the financial statements. Management continually 
evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation 
to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue 
and expenses. Management bases its judgements, 
estimates and assumptions on historical experience 
and on other various factors, including expectations of 
future events, management believes to be reasonable 
under the circumstances. The resulting accounting 
judgements and estimates will seldom equal the 
related actual results. The judgements estimates and 
assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a 
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities (refer to the respective Notes) within the 
next financial year are discussed below.

i. Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

iv. Share-Based Payments 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies continued…

Judgement has been exercised in considering 
the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) 
pandemic has had, or may have, on the 
consolidated entity based on known 
information. This consideration extends to 
the nature of the products and services 
offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and 
geographic regions in which the consolidated 
entity operates. Other than as addressed 
in specific Notes, there does not currently 
appear to be either any significant impact upon 
the financial statements or any significant 
uncertainties with respect to events or 
conditions which may impact the consolidated 
entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or 
subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus 
(COVID-19) pandemic.

ii. Allowance for expected credit losses

The allowance for expected credit losses 
assessment requires a degree of estimation and 
judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected 
credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, 
and makes assumptions to allocate an overall 
expected credit loss rate for each group. These 
assumptions include recent sales experience, 
historical collection rates, the impact of 
the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and 
forward-looking information that is available. 
The allowance for expected credit losses, as 
disclosed below, is calculated based on the 
information available at the time of preparation 
as detailed in “Note 23” on page 55. The 
actual credit losses in future years may be 
higher or lower. 

iii. Income tax

The Company is subject to income taxes in the 
jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant 
judgement is required in determining the 
provision for income tax. There are many 
transactions and calculations undertaken 
during the ordinary course of business for which 
the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The 
Company recognises liabilities for anticipated 
tax audit issues based on the Company’s 
current understanding of the tax law. Where 
the final tax outcome of these matters is 
different from the carrying amounts, such 
differences will impact the current and deferred 
tax provisions in the period in which such 
determination is made as detailed in “Note 7” 
on page 44.

The Company measures the cost of equity-
settled transactions with suppliers and 
employees by reference to the fair value of the 
goods or services received provided this can be 
estimated reliably.  If a reliable estimate cannot 
be made the value of the goods or services is 
determined indirectly by reference to the fair 
value of the equity instrument granted. The 
fair value of the equity instruments granted 
is determined using the Black-Scholes option 
pricing model taking into account the terms 
and conditions upon which the instruments 
were granted as detailed in “Note 22” on 
page 52. The accounting estimates and 
assumptions relating to equity-settled share-
based payments would have no impact on 
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 
within the next annual reporting period but may 
impact profit or loss and equity. 

v. Revenue from contracts with customers

The Company has applied the following 
judgements that significantly affect the 
determination of the amount and timing of 
revenue from contracts with customers.

Revenue from customer contracts is recognised 
upon satisfaction of a performance obligation 
under those contracts either over time. For 
drilling services provided under contract, 
revenue is recognised in accordance with a 
specified unit of production based on rates 
agreed to with the customer (for example 
meters drilled or hours worked).

Dry Hire revenue is also recognised over a 
period of time based on set day rates for 
supply, as the customer simultaneously 
receives and consumes the benefits provided 
by the Company.

The sale of goods (consumables) is recognised 
at a point in time when control of the goods 
passes to the customer under those contracts 
(for example the sale of certain items 
including consumables). 

Mobilisation/demobilisation revenue are distinct, 
separately identifiable contractual performance 
obligations and are recognised as revenue upon 
completion of the mobilisation/demobilisation 
event, once this performance obligation has 
been satisfied.

vi. Estimation of useful lives of assets

The Group determines the estimated useful lives 
and related depreciation for its property, plant 
and equipment. The useful lives could change 
significantly as a result of technical innovations 
or other events. The depreciation charge will 
increase where the useful lives are less than 
previously estimated, or technically obsolete or 
non-strategic assets have been abandoned or 
sold will be written off or written down.

Note 3:  Operating Segments
The Company has one reportable segment, Pentium 
Hydro which is the Group’s operational business unit 
Revenue received from this business unit is received 
solely from external Australian customers. 

The Group has identified its operating segments 
based on the internal reports that are reviewed and 
used by the Board of Directors (the chief operating 
decision makers) in assessing performance and in 
determining the allocation of resources.   

The major results of the Group’s sole operating 
segment are consistent with the presentation of 
these consolidated financial statements.

The Group derived approximately 94% (2020: 84%) 
of its revenue from contract with customers from 
5 Tier-1 Mining Companies with operations based 
within the state of Western Australia.

Current trade receivables are non-interest bearing 
and generally on 30-day end of month terms.  

A.  Impairment and Risk Exposure

Trade and other receivables are assessed for 
recoverability based on the underlying terms of the 
contract.  A provision for impairment is recognised 
when there is objective evidence that an individual 
trade or other receivable is impaired. No impairment 
provision was recorded at 30 June 2021 based on 
management’s assessment.

Information about the impairment of trade 
receivables and the group’s exposure to credit risk, 
foreign currency risk and interest rate risk can be 
found in the “Note 23” on page 55.

1.  Several items of plant and equipment were sold during the period resulting in a gain on disposal of assets of $272,994. 

2.  $127,264 was reclassified from assets held for sale back into Plant and Equipment and depreciation commenced in line with the 

Company’s estimated useful life for relevant asset classes.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values 
are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if 
appropriate. As detailed within “Note 2B”, the Group 
undertook a detailed review of its current depreciation 
policy during the period and increased the useful lives 
of certain asset classes from 7 years to 10 years. The 
change in useful life affected a number of individual 
assets within the below asset classes:

	V Plant and equipment; and

	V Trucks, trailers and light vehicles. 

The change in accounting estimate has been 
accounted for prospectively, with effect from 1 
July 2020, as required under Australian Accounting 
Standards. For further details on the basis and 
impact of this change in accounting estimate, refer to 
“Note 2B” on page 33.

1.  As at 30 June 2019, the Company had accumulated losses of $22,988,151 from it’s previous operating activities. During the year, the 

Company acquired water well drilling assets and associated inventory from Ausdrill. This Transaction represented a significant change 
in the nature and scale of the activities of the Company from previous periods. 

On 27 August 2020, the Board of Directors resolved to reduce the Company’s share capital by $22,988,151, in accordance with section 
258F or the Corporations Act 2001, reducing accumulated losses deemed to be of a permanent nature by the same amount. 

There is no impact on shareholders from the capital reduction as no shares have been cancelled or rights varied, and there is no 
change in the net asset position of the Company. There is also no impact on the availability of the Company’s tax losses from this 
capital reduction

2.  On 18 May 2020, the Company announced it was undertaking a 3 for 10 non-renounceable rights issue of up to 89.3 million fully paid 
ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.045 per share to raise up to approximately $4 million. The offer was open to all shareholders 
with a registered address within Australia or New Zealand who held shares on the record date of Wednesday, 3 June 2020.  The offer 
closed on 23 June 2020, with the Company receiving applications exceeding the amount offered of $4.02 million. On 30 June 2020, 
the Company subsequently issued 89,297,618 shares at an issue price of $0.045 per share raising $4.02 million (before costs) under a 
non-renounceable rights issue.

C.  Capital Risk Management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, 
so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an 
optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. Capital is regarded as total equity as recognised in the 
statement of financial position.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to 
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets. Refer to “Note 23” on page 55 
for further information on the Company’s capital management policy.

The executive performance rights have been valued 
based on the Company’s share price as at the date of 
their approval for issue. A total valuation of $575,000 
has been determined, assuming satisfaction of 
performance conditions in full and 100% vesting rate.  

At 30 June 2021 the Company has assessed 
the likelihood of the achievement of the vesting 
conditions in respect of tranches 1 – 3 of the 
executive performance rights and determined 
that the achievement of the vesting conditions is 
uncertain at this point in time.

As a result, Management have applied varying 
probabilities of the performance conditions being 
met, resulting the fair value of the performance 
rights at 30 June 2021 to be $143,750 (2020: nil). An

Note 23: Financial Instruments & Fair Value Measurement

A.  Fair Values

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and 
disclosures require the determination of fair value, for 
both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. 
Fair values have been determined for measurement 
and/or disclosure purposes based on the following 
methods. Where applicable, further information about 
the assumptions made in determining fair values is 
disclosed in the Notes specific to that asset or liability.

i. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts 
of financial instruments approximate their fair 
value. The carrying amounts of trade receivables 
and trade payables are assumed to approximate 
their fair values due to their short-term nature. 
The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated 
by discounting the remaining contractual 
maturities at the current market interest rate 
that is available for similar financial instruments.

ii. Fair Value Hierarchy

Financial instruments carried at fair value are 
determined by valuation level, as determined 
in accordance with the relevant accounting 
standard.  The different levels have been 
defined as:

	V Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active 

markets for identical assets or liabilities;

	V Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices 

included within Level 1 that are observable 
for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as 
prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); 
and

	V Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that 
are not based on observable market data 
(unobservable inputs).

There have been no transfers between levels 
during the current or prior year. 

All financial assets and liabilities carried at fair 
value have been deemed to be level 2 within 
the fair value hierarchy.  With respect to specific 
financial assets and liabilities, the following 
valuation methods have been used:

Term receivables and fixed interest securities 
are determined by discounting the cash flows, 
as at the market interest rates of similar 
securities, to their present value. 

Other loans and amounts due are determined 
by discounting the cash flows, at market rates 
of similar borrowings, to their present value. 

Other assets and other liabilities approximate 
their carrying value.  The carrying amount 
of all financial assets and financial liabilities 
approximate their fair value at reporting date. 

B.  Financial Risk Management 

Objectives

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of 
financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency 
risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and 
liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management 
program focuses on the unpredictability of financial 
markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse 
effects on the financial performance of the Company.  
The Company uses different methods to measure 
different types of risk to which it is exposed. 

This Note presents information about the Group’s 
exposure to each of the above risks, its objectives, 
policies and processes for measuring and managing 
risk, and the management of capital.

C.  Risk Management Framework

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility 
for the establishment and oversight of the risk 
management framework.  Due to the size of the 
Group, and its low nature of risk with respect 
to financial risk management, the Board is of 
the opinion that there is no need to establish a 
Risk Management Committee for developing and 
monitoring risk management policies.  

Risk management policies are established to identify 
and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set 
appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor 
risks and adherence to limits.  Risk management 
policies and systems are reviewed regularly to 
reflect changes in market conditions and the 
Group’s activities.  The Group, through its training 

Annual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2021

55

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 23: Financial Instruments & Fair Value Measurement continued…

and management standards and procedures, aims 
to develop a disciplined and constructive control 
environment in which all employees understand their 
roles and obligations.

D.  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 Group’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.

E.  Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is not exposed to any significant foreign 
currency risk. The Group is exposed to currency risk 
on administration costs, purchases of spare parts and 
plant and equipment that are denominated in New 
Zealand dollars (NZD) and US dollars (USD). The Group 
does not use currency hedging for administration 
expenses as the receipts in NZD and USD are used 
to meet the liability obligations of the Group entities 
denominated in NZD and USD.  

The use of currency hedging for exposures relating 
to spare parts and plant and equipment purchases 
are assessed on a case by case basis. During the 
financial year ended 30 June 2021, the Group did not 
enter into any forward foreign currency contracts.

F.  Interest Rate Risk

Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial 
assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end 
of the reporting period whereby a future change in 
interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair 
value of fixed rate financial instruments.  The Group 
is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate 
instruments.

The financial instruments which primarily expose 
the Group to interest rate risk are borrowings and 
cash and cash equivalents.  The Group manages its 
exposure to changes in interest rates on borrowings 
by using a mix of fixed and floating rate debt. The 
Group is exposed to movements in market interest 
rates on short term deposits.  The Directors monitor 
the Group’s cash position relative to the expected 
cash requirements.  Where appropriate, surplus 
funds are placed on deposit earning higher interest.  
The Group also has short- or long-term debt, and 
therefore the risk is minimal.

The Company’s only exposure to interest rate risk is 
in relation to deposits held. Deposits are held with 
reputable banking financial institutions.

i.  Profile

At the reporting date the interest rate profile of 
the Group’s variable interest-bearing financial 
instruments was:

H.  Operational Risk 

Capital Management

30 June 
2021

$

$

Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss 
arising from a wide variety of causes associated 
with the Group’s processes, personnel, technology 
and infrastructure, and from external factors other 
than credit, market and liquidity risks such as those 
arising from legal and regulatory requirements 
and generally accepted standards of corporate 
behaviour.  Operational risks arise from all of the 
Group’s operations.

The Group’s objective is to manage operational 
risk so as to balance the avoidance of financial 
losses and damage to the Group’s reputation with 
overall cost effectiveness and to avoid control 
procedures that restrict initiative and creativity.  The 
primary responsibility for the development and 
implementation of controls to address operational 
risk is assigned to senior management within each 
business unit.  

This responsibility is supported by the development 
of overall Group standards for the management of 
operational risk in the following areas:

	V Requirements for appropriate segregation of 

duties, including the independent authorisations of 
transactions;

	V Requirements for the reconciliation and monitoring 

of transactions;

	V Compliance with regulatory and other legal 

requirements;

	V Documentation of controls and procedures;

	V Requirements for the periodic assessment of 
operational risks faced, and the competency 
of personnel, adequacy of controls and risk 
management procedures to address the risks 
identified;

	V Training and professional development;

	V Ethical and business standards; and

	V Risk mitigation, including insurance where this is 

effective.

I.  Capital Management 

The Board’s policy is to maintain adequate capital 
so as to maintain investor, creditor and market 
confidence and to sustain future development of 
the business. 

The Group’s debt and capital structure includes 
ordinary share capital and loans and borrowings. The 
Group is not subject to externally imposed capital 
requirements.  Management effectively manages the 
Group’s capital by assessing the Group’s financial 
risk and adjusting its capital structure in response 
to changes in these risks and in the market. These 
responses include the management of debt levels, 
distributions to shareholders and share issues.

J.  Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a 
customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails 
to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally 
from the Group’s receivables from customers.  

Management has established a credit policy under 
which each new customer and counterparties 
to transactions are analysed individually for 
creditworthiness before the Group’s standard 
payment and delivery terms and conditions are 
offered. The Group’s review includes the use of 
external ratings, when available. Such monitoring is 
used in assessing receivables for impairment.  

Risk is also minimised through investing surplus 
funds in financial institutions that maintain a 
high credit rating. The Group’s exposure to credit 
risk is influenced mainly by the individual credit 
characteristics of each customer. 100% of revenue is 
attributable to Australian entities.  

Details with respect to credit risk of trade and other 
receivables are provided below. Trade and other 
receivables that are neither past due nor impaired 
are considered to be of high credit quality. Aggregates 
of such amounts are detailed below. 

K.  Impairment of Financial Assets

The Group hold trade receivables that are subject 
to the expected credit loss model. While cash and 
cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment 
requirements of AASB 9, the identified impairment 
loss was immaterial.

L.  Trade Receivables 

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach 
to measuring the expected credit losses which 
uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade 
receivables. The expected credit losses have been 
grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics 
and the days past due.

The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect 
current and forward- looking information on 
macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the 
customers to settle the receivables.

Trade receivables are written off when there is no 
reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that 
there is no reasonable expectation of recovery 
include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to 
engage in a repayment plan with the Group and 
failure to make contractual payments for a period of 
greater than 120 days past due. 

Impairment losses on trade receivables are 
presented as net impairment losses within operating 
profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously 
written off are credited against the same line item. 
The Group has not recognised and impairment 
losses recognised in the statement of profit or 
loss as at 30 June 2021 arising from contracts with 
customers. The Group’s receivables consist of Tier 
1/Tier 2 Mining companies on 30-day net terms 
with no noted debtor payment issues to date since 
commencement of current activities.

i.  Exposure to Credit Risk

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets 
represents the maximum credit exposure. The 
credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the 
counterparties are banks with a minimum credit 
rating of AA assigned by reputable credit rating 
agencies. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit 
risk at the reporting date was:

M. Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risks arises from the possibility that the 
Company might encounter difficulty in settling its 
debts or otherwise meeting its obligation related to 
financial liabilities. Vigilant liquidity risk management 
requires the Company to maintain sufficient liquid 
assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) to be able to 
pay debts as and when they become due and payable.

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining 
adequate cash reserves and continuously monitoring 
actual and forecast cash flows.

Opinion

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF 
VYSARN LIMITED  

Other Information 

We have audited the financial report of Vysarn Limited (the “Company”) and its controlled 
entity (the “Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 
June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the 
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for 
the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant 
accounting policies, and the Directors’ declaration.

The directors are responsible  for the other information. The  other information comprises the 
information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, 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 our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the 
Corporations Act 2001, including:

(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s consolidated financial position as at 30 June 2021 

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 
and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
with  the  financial  report  or  our  knowledge  obtained  in  the  audit  or  otherwise  appears  to  be 
materially misstated. 

(b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

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. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities 
under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 
Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the 
auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements 
of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for 
Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) “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.

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. 

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.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the 
Group  to  continue  as  a  going  concern,  disclosing,  as  applicable,  matters  related  to  going 
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a

liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Key Audit Matters

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most 
significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were 
addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our 
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF 
VYSARN LIMITED  

	▪ Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities 
or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are 
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain 
solely responsible for our audit opinion.

Other Information 

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.

The directors are responsible  for the other information. The  other information comprises the 
information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, 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. 

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical 
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other 
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, 
actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

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. 

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.

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 

Report on the Remuneration Report

Opinion on the Remuneration 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. 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 10 to 19 of the directors’ report for 
the year ended 30 June 2021. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Vysarn Limited, for the 
year ended 30 June 2021, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

Responsibilities

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the 
Group  to  continue  as  a  going  concern,  disclosing,  as  applicable,  matters  related  to  going 
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to 
liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

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.

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. 

PITCHER PARTNERS BA&A PTY LTD

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: 

•

PAUL MULLIGAN
Executive Director 
Perth, 27 August 2021

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, intentional omissions, 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
