2. Significant accounting policies
a. Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements and notes
represent those of Axiom Mining Limited and the
Controlled Entities (the ‘Consolidated Group’ or ‘Group’).
The separate financial statements of the parent entity,
Axiom Mining Limited, have not been prepared within this
financial report as permitted by the
Corporations Act 2001
.
The financial statements were authorised for issue on
21 December 2015.
These general purpose financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of
the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and
International Financial Reporting Standards as issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board. The
Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes
under Australian Accounting Standards. Material
accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these
financial statements are presented below and have been
consistently applied unless stated otherwise.
Except for cash flow information, the financial statements
have been prepared on an accrual 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.
The AASB has issued certain new and revised AASB
Standards (‘AASBs’) that are first effective or available
for early adoption for the current accounting period
of the Group and of the Company. Note 2(x) provides
information on any changes in accounting policies
resulting from initial application of these developments
to the extent that they are relevant to the Group for the
current and prior accounting periods reflected in these
financial statements.
b. Basis of preparation of the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under
the historical cost basis except that property, plant and
equipment are stated at their revalued amount, being
the fair value at the date of revaluation as explained in
the accounting policy set out in Note 2(e). The financial
statements are presented in Australian dollars (‘AUD’),
which is also the functional currency of the Company.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with AASBs requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application
of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
income and expenses. The estimates and associated
assumptions are based on historical experience and
various other factors that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis of making the judgements about carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed
on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimate is
revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the
period of the revision and future periods if the revision
affects both current and future periods. Judgements
made by management in the application of AASBs that
have significant effect on the financial statements and
estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in
the next year are disclosed in Note 24.
Going concern
The Group has recorded a net loss of $12,460K (2014:
$15,880K), had net cash outflows from operations
of $8,494K (2014: $12,397K) for the year and has no
ongoing source of income. At 30 September 2015, the
Group had net assets of $5,342K (2014: $2,984K).
The financial report has been prepared on a going
concern basis that assumes the realisation of assets
and extinguishment of liabilities in the normal course
of business and at the amounts stated in the financial
statements.
The Directors believe the going concern basis is
appropriate for the following reasons:
–
at 30 September 2015, the Group had cash and cash
equivalents of $1,306K
–
on 4 November 2015 the Company announced
that it had entered into a convertible note facility
agreement for up to $15 million to project fund the
development of the Isabel Nickel Project through
a strategic partnership with experienced resource
venture capitalist and project incubator InCor Holdings
Plc (‘InCoR’). As part of the agreement, Axiom issued
one secured convertible note with a face value of
$5,000,000, convertible to a maximum issue of
13,513,514 fully paid ordinary shares based on a
conversion price of $0.37 per share
–
the ability to raise additional share capital by share
placements, options, convertible notes, or rights issue
–
the ability to farm out all or part of its exploration
projects
–
the ability to sell particular exploration projects; and
–
the ability to renew pending exploration applications
based on previous experience.
