Final Results
Harvest Minerals Limited, the AIM-listed organic fertiliser
producer, is pleased to announce its audited Final Results for the
year ended 31 December 2021, extracts from which are set out below.
The Company's Annual Report & Accounts will today be uploaded
to Harvest's website, and the accounts posted to shareholders,
where appropriate.
Financial Summary for FY 2021
-- 149% increase in revenue of fertiliser sales of AUD4,860,679 (2020: AUD1,952,159)
-- 189% increase in Gross profits of AUD3,592,881 (2020: AUD1,241,520)
-- Maiden operational profit and overall positive EBITDA and robust cash position
-- The net loss after tax was a direct result of the write off
of Exploration & Evaluation expenditure and impairment of a
prior period account receivable
-- Continued positive performance expected to result in strong
profitability in the current year
Operational and Corporate Highlights
-- Positioned for growth with significant investment made to
expand its operations and secure the best qualified workforce
-- Sales volumes of KP Fértil(R) increased at a rate of 46% CAGR
over the last three years
-- Acquired the Miriri Phosphate Project northeast region of
Brazil - an advanced stage phosphate project
-- Installed a solar power facility at Arapuá with the capacity
to supply 100% of its power needs, including mining, processing,
and administration facilities - in line with zero carbon goal
-- Positive agronomic results in 2021 confirmed that KP
Fértil(R) can be used to replace conventional fertilisers as a
source of potassium and phosphate
-- Awarded the London Stock Exchange's Green Economy Mark
Outlook
-- Continue to build on the success of its flagship asset, Arapuá
-- Forecast sales volume of 150,000 tonnes circa. 76% increase
on 2021 based on discussions with customers and continued strong
activity of the agricultural sector in Brazil
-- Encouraging sales orders already placed for 2022 with sales
orders at 30 June being 117,000 tonnes.
Commenting on the results, Brian McMaster, Chairman of Harvest,
said: "2021 was an exceptional year for our company. We continued
to deliver on our strategy and achieved several significant
milestones during the period, including substantial increase in
sales volumes, maiden operational profit and continuing with our
carbon neutral initiatives such as the installation of a solar
power facility at Arapuá. Following year-end, we have seen the
increased sales trend improve dramatically as we continue to focus
on cash generation at Arapuá.
"From an accounting perspective, and working with our auditors,
we have taken the decision to write off the value of some non-core
assets and impair the recoverability of the Agrocerrado debt. These
accounting entries are important from the perspective of "cleaning
the slate" and drawing a circle around what is important to Harvest
for the immediate future. We remain confident in recovering the
Agrocerrado amount, but we can't control judicial timelines.
Similarly, Sergi remains an asset of interest, but it is not a
focus for this time. Clearly our focus is on maximizing cash
generation from Arapua and any other near term production assets.
Given that goal and our shareholders need for transparent and
meaningful accounts, it is sensible to book these accounting
entries."

Notes to the financial statements
at and for the year ended 31 December 2021
NOTE 1: CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial report of Harvest Minerals Limited ("Harvest
Minerals" or "the Company") and its controlled entities ("the
Group") for the year ended 31 December 2021 was authorised for
issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 30 June
2022.
Harvest Minerals Limited is a company limited by shares
incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the
AIM market operated by the London Stock Exchange.
The nature of the operations and the principal activities of the
Group are described in the Directors' Report.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report,
which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other
authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards
Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for profit
entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting
Standards.
The financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis and
is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the
measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial
assets and financial liabilities. Material accounting policies
adopted in preparation of this financial report are presented below
and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The presentation currency is Australian dollars.
Going Concern
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 settlement of
liabilities in the normal course of business.
(b) Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial
statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary
information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 31.
(c) Compliance statement
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting
Standards which include Australian equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS
ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS).
(d) Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
During the year ended 31 December 2021, the Directors have
reviewed all new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued
by the AASB that are relevant to the Group's operations and
effective for current reporting periods beginning on or after 1
January 2021. In the year ended 31 December 2021, the Directors
have reviewed all new and revised Standards and Interpretations
issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group's operations and
effective for the current reporting period.
The Directors have also reviewed all new Standards and
Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for
the year ended 31 December 2021. As a result of this review the
Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or
otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on
the Group's business and, therefore, no change is necessary to the
Group accounting policies.
Where new and amended accounting standards and interpretations
have been published but are not mandatory, the Group has decided
against early adoption of these standards, and has determined the
potential impact on the financial statements from the adoption of
these standards and interpretations is not material to the
Group.
(e) Mine Properties
Mine properties represent the accumulation of all exploration,
evaluation and development expenditure incurred in respect of areas
of interest in which mining has commenced or is in the process of
commencing. When further development expenditure is incurred in
respect of mine property after the commencement of production, such
expenditure is carried forward as part of the mine property only
when substantial future economic benefits are thereby established,
otherwise such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of
production.
Amortisation is provided on a unit of production basis which
results in a write off against the cost proportional to the
depletion of the proven and probable mineral reserves. The net
carrying value of each area of interest is reviewed regularly and
to the extent to which this value exceeds its recoverable amount,
the excess is either fully provided against or written off in the
financial year in which this is determined.
The Group provides for environmental restoration and
rehabilitation at site which includes any costs to dismantle and
remove certain items of plant and equipment. The cost of an item
includes the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and
removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located,
the obligation for which an entity incurs when an item is acquired
or as a consequence of having used the item during that period.
This asset is depreciated on the basis of the current estimate
of the useful life of the asset. In accordance with AASB 137
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets the Group
is also required to recognise as a provision the best estimate of
the present value of expenditure required to settle this
obligation. The present value of estimated future cash flows is
measured using a current market discount rate.
Stripping costs
Costs associated with material stripping activity, which is the
process of removing mine waste materials to gain access to the
mineral deposits underneath, during the production phase of surface
mining are accounted for as either inventory or a non-current asset
(non-current asset is also referred to as a 'stripping activity
asset').
To the extent that the benefit from the stripping activity is
realised in the form of inventory produced, the Group accounts for
the costs of that stripping activity in accordance with the
principles of AASB 102 Inventories. To the extent the benefit is
improved access to ore, the Group recognises these costs as a
non-current asset provided that:
-- it is probable that the future economic benefit (improved
access to the ore body) associated with the stripping activity will
flow to the Group;
-- the Group can identify the component of the ore body for
which access has been improved; and
-- the costs relating to the stripping activity associated with
that component can be measured reliably.
Stripping activity assets are initially measured at cost, being
the accumulation of costs directly incurred to perform the
stripping activity that improves access to the identified component
of ore plus an allocation of directly attributable overhead costs.
In addition, stripping activity assets are accounted for as an
addition to, or as an enhancement to, an existing asset.
Accordingly, the nature of the existing asset determines:
-- whether the Group classifies the stripping activity asset as tangible or intangible; and
-- the basis on which the stripping activity asset is measured
subsequent to initial recognition
In circumstances where the costs of the stripping activity asset
and the inventory produced are not separately identifiable, the
Group allocates the production stripping costs between the
inventory produced and the stripping activity asset by using an
allocation basis that is based on volume of waste extracted
compared with expected volume, for a given volume of ore
production.
(f) Revenue
Revenue arises mainly from the sale of fertiliser. The Group
generates revenue in Brazil. To determine whether to recognise
revenue, the Group follows a 5-step process:
1. Identifying the contract with a customer
2. Identifying the performance obligations
3. Determining the transaction price
4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations
5. Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.
The revenue and profits recognised in any period are based on
the delivery of performance obligations and an assessment of when
control is transferred to the customer.
In determining the amount of revenue and profits to record, and
related statement of financial position items (such as contract
fulfilment assets, capitalisation of costs to obtain a contract,
trade receivables, accrued income and deferred income) to recognise
in the period, management is required to form a number of key
judgements and assumptions. This includes an assessment of the
costs the Group incurs to deliver the contractual commitments and
whether such costs should be expensed as incurred or
capitalised.
Revenue is recognised either when the performance obligation in
the contract has been performed, so 'point in time' recognition or
'over time' as control of the performance obligation is transferred
to the customer.
For contracts with multiple components to be delivered such as
fertiliser, management applies judgement to consider whether those
promised goods and services are (i) distinct - to be accounted for
as separate performance obligations; (ii) not distinct - to be
combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle is
identified that is distinct or (iii) part of a series of distinct
goods and services that are substantially the same and have the
same pattern of transfer to the customer.
Transaction price
At contract inception the total transaction price is estimated,
being the amount to which the Group expects to be entitled and has
rights to under the present contract. The transaction price does
not include estimates of consideration resulting from change orders
for additional goods and services unless these are agreed. Once the
total transaction price is determined, the Group allocates this to
the identified performance obligations in proportion to their
relative stand-alone selling prices and recognises revenue when (or
as) those performance obligations are satisfied.
For each performance obligation, the Group determines if revenue
will be recognised over time or at a point in time. Where the Group
recognises revenue over time for long term contracts, this is in
general due to the Group performing and the customer simultaneously
receiving and consuming the benefits provided over the life of the
contract.
For each performance obligation to be recognised over time, the
Group applies a revenue recognition method that faithfully depicts
the Group's performance in transferring control of the goods or
services to the customer. This decision requires assessment of the
real nature of the goods or services that the Group has promised to
transfer to the customer. The Group applies the relevant output or
input method consistently to similar performance obligations in
other contracts.
When using the output method, the Group recognises revenue on
the basis of direct measurements of the value to the customer of
the goods and services transferred to date relative to the
remaining goods and services under the contract. Where the output
method is used, in particular for long term service contracts where
the series guidance is applied, the Group often uses a method of
time elapsed which requires minimal estimation. Certain long- term
contracts use output methods based upon estimation of number of
users, level of service activity or fees collected.
If performance obligations in a contract do not meet the
overtime criteria, the Group recognises revenue at a point in time.
This may be at the point of physical delivery of goods and
acceptance by a customer or when the customer obtains control of an
asset or service in a contract with customer-specified acceptance
criteria.
Disaggregation of revenue
The Group disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by
contract type, which includes only fertiliser as management
believes this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and
uncertainty of the Group's revenue and cash flows.
Performance obligations
Performance obligations categorised within this revenue type
include the debtor taking ownership of the fertiliser product.
(g) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable
value.
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location
and condition is accounted for as follows:
-- Raw materials - purchase cost; and
-- Finished goods - cost of direct materials and labour and an
appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overheads based on
normal operating capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and
the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(h) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial
statements of Harvest Minerals Limited and its subsidiaries as at
31 December 2021, and the prior year to 31 December 2020.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Company has
control. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed
to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with
the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its
power to direct the activities of the entity.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for
the same reporting period as the parent Company, using consistent
accounting policies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all
intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and
profit and losses resulting from intra-company transactions have
been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from
the date on which control is obtained by the Company and cease to
be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out
of the Company.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the
acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of
accounting involves recognising at acquisition date, separately
from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities
assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The
identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are
measured at their acquisition date fair values.
The difference between the above items and the fair value of the
consideration (including the fair value of any pre-existing
investment in the acquiree) is goodwill or a discount on
acquisition.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not
result in a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity
transaction.
(i) Foreign Currency Translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the
Company's controlled entities are measured using the currency of
the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the
functional currency'). The functional and presentation currency of
Harvest Minerals Limited is Australian dollars. The functional
currency of the overseas subsidiaries is Brazilian Reals.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional
currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the
settlement of such transactions and from the translation at
year--end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Statement
of Comprehensive Income.
(iii) Group entities
The results and financial position of all the Company's
controlled entities (none of which has the currency of a
hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency
different from the presentation currency are translated into the
presentation currency as follows:
-- assets and liabilities for each statement of financial
position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date
of that statement of financial position;
-- income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive
income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not
a reasonable approximation of the rates prevailing on the
transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated
at the dates of the transactions); and
-- all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the
translation of any net investment in foreign entities are taken to
foreign currency translation reserve. When a foreign operation is
sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are
repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange differences are
recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, as part of the
gain or loss on sale where applicable.
(j) Plant and Equipment
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where
applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
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. Repairs and maintenance expenditure is charged to the
statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in
which it is incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a
straight line basis over their useful lives to the Group commencing
from the time the asset is held ready for use.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets
are:
Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate
Plant and equipment 33% - 50%
Furniture, Fixtures and Fittings 10%
Computer and software 20%
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and
adjusted if appropriate, at each statement of financial position
date.
Derecognition
Additions of plant and equipment are derecognised upon disposal
or when no further future economic benefits are expected from their
use or disposal. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by
comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses
are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
(k) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an
indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication
exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required,
the Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An
asset's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less
costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an
individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows
that are largely independent of those from other assets of the
Group and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close
to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment
as part of the cash generating unit to which it belongs. When the
carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its
recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered
impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate
that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to
continuing operations are recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income.
An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether
there is any indication that previously recognised impairment
losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such
indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A
previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has
been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's
recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.
If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased
to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined, net of
depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset
in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in
future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount,
less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining
useful life.
(l) Deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by or on behalf
of the Group is accumulated separately for each area of interest.
Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and an appropriate
portion of related overhead expenditure but does not include
general overheads or administrative expenditure not having a
specific nexus with a particular area of interest.
Each area of interest is limited to a size related to a known or
probable mineral resource capable of supporting a mining operation.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure for each area of interest is
carried forward as an asset provided that one of the following
conditions is met:
-- such costs are expected to be recouped through successful
development and exploitation of the area of interest or,
alternatively, by its sale; or
-- exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest
have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment
of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves,
and active and significant operations in relation to the area are
continuing.
Expenditure which fails to meet the conditions outlined above is
written off. Furthermore, the directors regularly review the
carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure and make
write downs if the values are not expected to be recoverable.
Identifiable exploration assets acquired are recognised as
assets at their cost of acquisition, as determined by the
requirements of AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral
Resources. Exploration assets acquired are reassessed on a regular
basis and these costs are carried forward provided that at least
one of the conditions referred to in AASB 6 is met.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred subsequent to
acquisition in respect of an exploration asset acquired is
accounted for in accordance with the policy outlined above for
exploration expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the entity.
Acquired exploration assets are not written down below acquisition
cost until such time as the acquisition cost is not expected to be
recovered. When an area of interest is abandoned, any expenditure
carried forward in respect of that area is written off.
Expenditure is not carried forward in respect of any area of
interest/mineral resource unless the Group's rights of tenure to
that area of interest are current.
(m) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair
value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method, less any allowance for
impairment.
AASB 9's impairment requirements use more forward-looking
information to recognise expected credit losses. The Group
considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk
and measuring expected credit losses, including past events,
current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that
affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the
instrument.
(n) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the statement of financial position
include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other
short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less. Bank overdrafts are shown as current
liabilities in the statement of financial position. For the purpose
of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist
of cash and cash equivalents as described above and bank
overdrafts.
(o) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it
is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Where the Group expects some, or all, of a provision to be
reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the
reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any
provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net
of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions
are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a
pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money, and where appropriate, the risks specific to the
liability.
Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to
the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
(p) Trade and other payables
Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are measured
at amortised cost, which is the fair value of the consideration to
be paid in the future for goods and services received that are
unpaid, whether or not billed to the Group.
(q) Income Tax
Deferred income tax is provided for on all temporary differences
at balance date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and
their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial
recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability, excluding a
business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or
taxable profit or loss.
No deferred income tax will be recognised in respect of
temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries
if the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be
controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will
not reverse in the near future.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to
apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is
settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the statement of
comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be
charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred
tax is adjusted directly against equity.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible
temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets and
unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future tax
profits will be available against which deductible temporary
differences can be utilised.
The amount of benefits brought to account, or which may be
realised in the future is based on tax rates (and tax laws) that
have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance date and
the anticipation that the Group will derive sufficient future
assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply
with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. The
carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance
date and only recognised to the extent that sufficient future
assessable income is expected to be obtained.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are
recognised in equity and not in the statement of comprehensive
income.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only
if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and
liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation
authority.
(r) Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs
directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are
shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(s) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit /
loss attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any
costs of servicing equity other than dividends, by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus
elements.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as profit / loss
attributable to members of the Company, adjusted for:
-- costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);
-- the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated
with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised
as expenses; and
-- other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses
during the period that would result from the dilution of potential
ordinary shares;
divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and
dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus
elements.
(t) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount
of GST/sales tax, except where the amount of GST/sales tax incurred
is not recoverable from the relevant Tax Authority. In these
circumstances, the GST/sales tax is recognised as part of the cost
of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.
Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are
shown inclusive of GST/sales tax.
The net amount of GST/sales tax recoverable from, or payable to,
the Tax Authority is included as part of receivables or payables in
the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a
gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and
financing activities, which is receivable from or payable to the
ATO, being disclosed as operating cash flows.
(u) Share based payment transactions
The Group provides benefits to individuals acting as, and
providing services similar to employees (including Directors) of
the Group in the form of share -based payment transactions, whereby
individuals render services in exchange for shares or rights over
shares ('equity settled transactions').
There is currently an Employee Share Option Scheme (ESOS) in
place, which provides benefits to Directors and individuals
providing services similar to those provided by an employee.
The cost of these equity settled transactions with employees is
measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they
are granted. The fair value is determined by using an option
pricing formula taking into account the terms and conditions upon
which the instruments were granted.
In valuing equity settled transactions, no account is taken of
any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the
price of the shares of Harvest Minerals ('market conditions'). The
cost of the equity settled transactions is recognised, together
with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which
the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on
which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award
('vesting date').
The cumulative expense recognised for equity settled
transactions at each reporting date until vesting date
reflects:
(i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and
(ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the Directors
of the Company, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based
on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is
made for the likelihood of the market performance conditions being
met as the effect of these conditions is included in the
determination of fair value at grant date. The statement of
comprehensive income charge or credit for a period represents the
movement in cumulative expense recognised at the beginning and end
of the period.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest,
except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market
condition. Where the terms of an equity settled award are modified,
as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been
modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in
the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as
measured at the date of the modification.
Where an equity settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if
it had vested on the date of the cancellation, and any expense not
yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if
a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated
as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the
cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification
of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
The cost of equity-settled transactions with non-employees is
measured by reference to the fair value of goods and services
received unless this cannot be measured reliably, in which case the
cost is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity
instruments granted. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding
options is reflected in the computation of loss per share (see note
25).
(v) Comparative figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have
been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current
financial year.
(w) Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management
approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as
the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision
Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of
resources to operating segments and assessing their
performance.
(x) 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 principle
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 interest. 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 each reporting date and transfers
between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest
level 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 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.
(y) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based
on historical experience and other factors, including expectations
of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future.
The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom
equal the related actual results. The 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 below.
Valuation of mine property
The group uses the concept of life of mine to determine the
amortisation of mine properties. In determining life of mine, the
Group prepares mineral reserve estimates which by their very
nature, require judgements, estimates and assumptions. Where the
proved and probable reserve estimates need to be modified, the
amortisation expense is accounted for prospectively from the date
of the assessment until the end of the revised mine life (for both
the current and future years).
The Group defers advanced stripping costs incurred during the
production stage of its mining operations. This calculation
requires the use of judgements and estimates, such as estimates of
tonnes of waste to be removes over the life of the mining area and
economically recoverable reserve extracted as a result. Changes in
a mine's life and design may result in changes to the expected
stripping ratio (waste to mineral reserves ratio). Any resulting
changes are accounted for prospectively.
Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and
evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors,
including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease
itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related
exploration and evaluation asset through sale. Factors which could
impact the future recoverability include the level of proved,
probable and inferred mineral resources, future technological
changes which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes
(including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and
changes to commodity prices and exchange rules.
To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation
expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, this
will reduce profits and net assets in the period in which this
determination is made. In addition, exploration and evaluation
expenditure is capitalised if activities in the area of interest
have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment
of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves.
To the extent that it is determined in the future that this
capitalised expenditure should be written off, this will reduce
profits and net assets in the period in which this determination is
made.
Functional currency translation reserve
Under Accounting Standards, each entity within the Group is
required to determine its functional currency, which is the
currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity
operates. Management considers the Brazilian subsidiaries to be
foreign operations with Brazilian Reals as the functional currency.
In arriving at this determination, management has given priority to
the currency that influences the labour, materials and other costs
of exploration activities as they consider this to be a primary
indicator of the functional currency.
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 COVID-19 pandemic
and forward-looking information that is available. Refer to note 9
for further information. The actual credit losses in future years
may be higher or lower.
NOTE 3: SEGMENT INFORMATION
For management purposes, the Group is organised into one main
operating segment, which involves mining exploration processing and
sale of fertiliser. All of the Group's activities are interrelated,
and discrete financial information is reported to the Board (Chief
Operating Decision Makers) as a single segment. No revenue is
derived from a single external customer.
Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon
analysis of the Group as one segment. The financial results from
this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the
Group as a whole. Revenue earned by the Group is generated in
Brazil and all of the Group's non-current assets reside in
Brazil.

Trade debtors, other debtors and goods and services tax are
receivable on varying collection terms. Due to the short-term
nature of these receivables, their carrying value is assumed to
approximate their fair value. Some debtors are given industry
standard longer payment terms which may cross over more than one
accounting period. These trade terms are widely used in the
agricultural market in Brazil and are considered industry
norms.
(1) The Company recognised an impairment expense relating to the
trade debtors balance as at 31 December 2021 for the amount of
$600,817 (2020: $nil) from a third party, Agrocerrado Produtos
Agricolas ("Agrocerrado"). In September 2020, the Company
instigated legal proceedings to recover the debt. On 25 September
2020, the Tribunal de Justiça do Estado de Minas Gerais issued
judgment against Agrocerrado for the full amount of the debt plus
costs. The Company took steps to enforce the judgment.
Subsequently, Agrocerrado presented a preliminary defence and
applied to Court to stay the Company from enforcing the judgment.
The Company has filed a response and is awaiting a decision of the
Court in respect to Agrocerrado's application.
The Company considers the amount to be fully recoverable, but
has elected to impair the amount in the 31 December 2021 year
because the Company has no control over the timing of the judicial
processes.

The impairment loss for 31 December 2021 is in respect to
expenditure on the Sergi and Mandacaru Projects. The reason the
Company has elected to write-off the value of these assets is
because given the progress being made at Arapua and the Company's
expectations that near term initiatives will focus on short-term
cash generative asset, it is not appropriate from a financial audit
perspective to maintain a value attributable to the Sergi and
Mandacaru projects given the Company has no expectation of a return
from these investments in the short term. The Company will continue
to hold these assets and will regularly review a range of factors,
including the Company's financial position, market conditions and
so on in determining whether to progress exploration activity
further.
The impairment loss for 31 December 2020 is in respect to
expenditure on the Capela Project as a result of the Company
relinquishing its exploration licence for this project in February
2021.
The ultimate recoupment of costs carried forward for exploration
expenditure is dependent on the successful development and
commercial exploitation or sale of the respective mining areas.

NOTE 26: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Exposure to interest rate, liquidity and credit risk arises in
the normal course of the Group's business. The Group does not hold
or issue derivative financial instruments.
The Group uses different methods as discussed below to manage
risks that arise from these financial instruments. The objective is
to support the delivery of the financial targets while protecting
future financial security.
(a) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter
difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial
liabilities.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash
facilities to meet the operating requirements of the business and
investing excess funds in highly liquid short-term investments. The
responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board
of Directors.
Alternatives for sourcing the Group's future capital needs
include the cash position and the issue of equity instruments.
These alternatives are evaluated to determine the optimal mix of
capital resources for our capital needs. We expect that, absent a
material adverse change in a combination of our sources of
liquidity, present levels of liquidity along with future capital
raising will be adequate to meet our expected capital needs.
Below is a maturity analysis of undiscounted financial
liabilities:

At ending of the year 204,584 204,584 - - 204,584
--------- -------- ------------ ---------- ------------
Maturity analysis for financial liabilities
Financial liabilities of the Group comprise trade and other
payables and borrowings. As at 31 December 2021 and 31 December
2020 all trade and other payables are contractually matured within
60 days and so the carrying value equals the contractual cash
flows. The fair value of borrowings are based on nominal amounts
within the agreements and no assumptions have been used to
determine the present value of the future payments based on a
discount rate as the amounts are deemed insignificant. The
principal payments are contractually required in Brazilian
Reals.
(b) Foreign currency exchange rate risk
The Company holds cash balances in foreign currencies (Great
British Pounds ('GBP') and United States Dollars ('USD')). The
carrying amounts of the Group's foreign currency denominated cash
balances at 31 December 2021 are GBP 631,273 (A$1,174,855) and USD
9,260 (A$12,753).
Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
A 10% increase and decrease in the GBP and USD against the
Australian dollar would lead to a $118,761 increase / decrease in
results (2020: $271,637 increase / decrease in results).
(c) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in
interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of
financial instruments.
The Group's exposure to market risk for changes to interest rate
risk relates primarily to its earnings on cash and term deposits.
The Group manages the risk by investing in short term deposits.

Decrease 100 basis
points (14,545) (29,927) (14,545) (29,927)
-------------------------- -------------- -------------- ------------ ------------
A sensitivity of 100 basis points has been used as this is
considered reasonable given the current level of both short term
and long term Australian Dollar interest rates. The change in basis
points is derived from a review of historical movements and
management's judgement of future trends. The analysis was performed
on the same basis in the December 2020 Financial Year.
(d) Credit risk exposures
Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to the
financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause
the Group to incur a financial loss. The Group's maximum credit
exposure is the carrying amounts on the statement of financial
position. The Group holds financial instruments with credit worthy
third parties.
At 31 December 2021, the Group held cash at bank. These were
held with financial institutions with a rating from Standard &
Poors of -AA or above (long term).
(e) Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments approximate their
fair values.
(f) Capital management
The Board's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to
maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain
future development of the business. There were no changes in the
Group's approach to capital management during the year. The Group
is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
NOTE 27: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
There are no known contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2021

NOTE 32: IMPACT OF COVID-19
On 31 January 2020, the World Health Organisation ('WHO')
announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of
coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (COVID-19 outbreak) and the
risks to the international community as the virus spread globally
beyond its point of origin. Because of the rapid increase in
exposure globally, on 11 March 2020, the WHO classified the
COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic.
The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve at
the date of this report. Management is actively monitoring the
global situation and its impact on the Group's financial condition,
liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given
the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global
responses to curb its spread, the Group continues to monitor the
situation very closely, with a primary focus on the health,
wellbeing, and safety of all employees. The Group has implemented
extensive business continuity procedures to ensure ongoing
operations with minimal disruptions. To date there has been minimal
impact to the Group.
