Speciality Metals International Limited Annual Report 2020 37 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Page | 38 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Going Concern Basis for Preparation of Financial Statements These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue to adopt the going concern assumption is based upon the Company now having a source of income from its acquisition of Mt Carbine Quarries Pty Ltd on 28 June 2019 along with that from the Company’s joint venture with CRONIMET Australia Pty Ltd for development of the Mt Carbine Retreatment Projects. Should additional funds be necessary the Directors are confident of securing these funds if and when necessary to meet the Company’s obligations as and when they fall due and consider the adoption of the going concern basis to be appropriate in the preparation of these financial statements. (b) Basis of Preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 . These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. The financial report is presented in Australian currency. The consolidated entity operates on a for-profit basis. (c) Statement of Compliance The financial statements have been prepared and comply with Australian Accounting Standards. The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. (d) Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) as at 30 June each year. Control is defined as entities which the Group has power over and the rights to, or is exposed to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to use its power to affect those returns. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist. All inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date upon which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date upon which control is transferred out of the Group. Interests in Joint Operations A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. When a Group entity undertakes its activities under joint operations, the Group as a joint operator recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation: § its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly; § its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; § its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; § its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and § its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the IFRS Standards applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. When a Group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a Group entity is a joint operator (such as a sale or contribution of assets), the Group is considered to be conducting the transaction with the other parties to the joint operation, and gains and losses resulting from the transactions are recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of other parties’ interests in the joint operation.
