Note 1: Basis of preparation

Base Resources Limited is a company domiciled in Australia.  The registered address is located at Level 3, 46 Colin Street, West Perth, WA, 6005. The consolidated financial statements of the Company, as at and for the year ended 30 June 2024, comprises the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group).  The Group is a for-profit entity and primarily involved in the operation of its Kwale Mineral Sands Mine in Kenya and development of its Toliara Project in Madagascar.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2024

  • Are a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
  • Are presented in United States dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars (US$000s) unless otherwise stated. The functional currency of the Parent is Australian dollars, whilst all other subsidiaries are United States dollars.
  • Have been prepared on an accruals 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.

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 3 October 2024.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Base Resources Limited at the end of the reporting period. The Group controls an entity when it 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 over the entity.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled.

In preparing these financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the Group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are re-translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.  Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on re-translation are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Comprehensive Income.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to the functional currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to United States dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.  Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.  When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income and are presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.


Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements used in developing and applying the Group's accounting policies are continually evaluated and reviewed.  Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised.  The critical estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are discussed in the respective sections of the Consolidated Financial Statements.  To assist in identifying critical accounting judgements, we have highlighted them with the following formatting:

Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources estimates

The estimated quantities of economically recoverable Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources are based upon interpretations of geological and geophysical models and require assumptions to be made regarding factors such as future operating costs, future commodity prices, future capital requirements and future operating performance. Changes in reported Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources estimates can impact the carrying value of PP&E, provisions for mine closure and rehabilitation obligations, the recognition of deferred tax assets, as well as the amount of depreciation and amortisation charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Note: this is an example presentation.

Note 2: Revenue

    2024
US$000s
    2023

Revenue from contracts with customers   135,110     271,434  
Total sales revenue   135,110     271,434  

Recognition and measurement of revenue

The Group sells mineral sands products under a range of International Commercial Terms (Incoterms). Revenue is recognised at the point in time when effective control of the product is transferred to the customer which is the only performance obligation of the Group. The point at which effective control has transferred to the customer is determined under the Incoterms of each sale. For most of the Group's sales, where the Incoterms are Free on Board (FOB) or Cost and Freight (CFR), this is when the goods are loaded onto a shipping vessel. Other Incoterms only transfer effective control to the customer once the products reach their point of destination, at which stage the performance obligation is considered satisfied and the revenue recognised.

The Group measures its revenues from contracts with customers at a price established in the formal agreement with the customer.

In all circumstances, revenue can reliably be measured based on quantities shipped and prices as described above. All costs associated with the sale, most notably the cost of the inventory being shipped, are known at the time of shipment.

After control has transferred to the customer, there are no continuing obligations such as customer right of return or warranties that could impact the recognition of revenues. Once the Group's sole performance obligation has been met, the Group has the right to invoice the customer and it is therefore probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group.

Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses and exploration and evaluation expenditure carried forward have not been brought to account at 30 June 2024 and 2023 because the directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the deferred tax assets as probable at this point in time. These benefits will only be obtained if:

  • the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the loss and exploration and evaluation expenditure to be realised;
  • the Group continues to comply with conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and
  • no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit from the deductions for the loss and exploration expenditure.

Recoverability of deferred tax assets

Balances related to taxation disclosed are based on the best estimates of directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Group as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future changes to taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents the directors' best estimate, pending assessment by the tax authorities in Australia and jurisdictions where it has foreign operations.


The deferred tax asset for Kwale Operations unused tax losses has been derecognised as the directors believe it is not probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those losses due to the reduced revenues expected with Kwale Operations mining set to end in December 2024. Determination of future taxable profits requires estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular, whether successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest will be achieved. This includes estimates and judgements about commodity prices, exchange rates, future capital requirements, future operational performance and the timing of estimated cash flows. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could impact on the amount and probability of estimated taxable profits and accordingly the recoverability of deferred tax assets.

Recognition and measurement of income taxes

The income tax expense/benefit for the year comprises current income tax expense/benefit and deferred tax expense/benefit.

Current income tax expense charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income is the expected tax payable or recoverable on the taxable income or loss calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense/benefit is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to/recovered from the relevant taxation authority.  At 30 June 2024, current tax liabilities represent FY24 income tax payable of $3.0 million (2023: nil).

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date.  Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.


OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

This section presents information about the Group's assets and liabilities, including its policies and processes for measuring and estimating these balances.

Recognition of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables are initially recognised when they originated. A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus or minus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at its transaction price.

Net realisable value of inventories

Inventories are recognised at the lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV).

NRV is based on the estimated amount expected to be received when the product is sold, less all costs still to be incurred in converting the relevant inventory to a saleable product and transporting to the port ready for shipment. The computation of NRV for inventories of heavy mineral concentrate and finished product involves significant judgements and estimates in relation to timing of processing, processing costs, transport costs, commodity prices and the ultimate timing of sale. A change in any of these critical assumptions will alter the estimated NRV and may therefore impact the carrying value of inventories.

Recognition and measurement of inventories

Inventories of heavy mineral concentrate and finished product are valued on a weighted average cost basis and include direct costs and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable overhead expenditure, including depreciation and amortisation.

Inventories of consumable supplies and spare parts to be used in production are valued at weighted average cost. Obsolete, slow moving or damaged inventories are valued at NRV. A regular and ongoing review is undertaken to establish the extent of surplus items, and a provision is made for any potential loss on their disposal.

The provision for slow moving consumable store inventory is an estimate based on management judgement which gives consideration to the expected short remaining mine life of Kwale Operations, inventory turnover trends and historical inventory write-offs. The actual amount of inventory write-offs could be higher or lower than the allowance made:

On-ground activities at the Toliara Project have been suspended since the Government of Madagascar-imposed suspension, which was put in place in November 2019, pending agreement on the fiscal terms applying to the project. Following engagement with the Government in early 2024, and as confirmed during recent discussions, Base Resources considers in-principle agreement has been reached on the key fiscal terms that will apply to the whole Toliara Project (i.e. both mineral sands and monazite), although these remain subject to entry of binding documentation and therefore the terms remain subject to change and timing is ultimately uncertain. Engagement with the Government is now focused on agreeing the terms of a binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) that records the terms agreed in-principle, a draft of which is well advanced.  Lifting of the Toliara Project's on-ground suspension is expected to occur upon entry into the MoU, which Base Resources believes to be achievable in the near term. The suspension does not affect the validity of the Toliara Project's mining permit.


In December 2023, the Company completed a pre-feasibility study on the production of monazite through concentration of the existing waste stream from the project's mineral sands processing facilities.  The results of the study significantly enhanced the overall forecast financial returns from the Toliara Project.

Extensional exploration at Kwale Operations and in Tanzania failed to demonstrate commercial viability, and as a result $2.5m of capitalised exploration has been written off.

Recognition and measurement of exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources is the search for mineral resources after the entity has obtained legal rights to explore in a specific area, as well as the determination of the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource. Accordingly, exploration and evaluation expenditure are those expenditures incurred by the Group in connection with the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources before the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable.  Accounting for exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed separately for each 'area of interest'. An 'area of interest' is an individual geological area which is considered to constitute a favourable environment for the presence of a mineral deposit or has been proved to contain such a deposit.

For each area of interest, the expenditure is recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset when the rights of tenure to that area of interest are current and the expenditure is expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or alternatively by its sale, and where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

General and administrative costs are allocated to, and included in, the cost of exploration and evaluation assets only to the extent that those costs can be related directly to operational activities in the area of interest to which the exploration and evaluation assets relate. In all other instances, these costs are expensed as incurred.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

Impairment testing of exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, or facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its assets to determine whether there is any indication those assets have been impaired. When impairment indicators are identified, the Group determines the recoverable value of the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the assets are allocated, via an estimation of the fair value of the CGU. Estimating the fair value amount requires management to make an estimate of expected future cash flows from the CGU over the forecast period and to determine a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. Key estimates supporting the expected future cash flows include commodity prices, production output and cost forecasts.

Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources estimates

The estimated quantities of economically recoverable Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources are based upon interpretations of geological and geophysical models and require assumptions to be made regarding factors such as future operating costs, future commodity prices, future capital requirements and future operating performance. Changes in reported Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources estimates can impact the carrying value of property, plant and equipment, the recognition of deferred tax assets, as well as the amount of depreciation and amortisation charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Each class of property, plant and equipment (PP&E) is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

PP&E is measured on a historical cost basis. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. 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 recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Comprehensive Income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of PP&E is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount and is recognised net within other income/other expenses in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Mine property and development assets include costs transferred from exploration and evaluation assets once technical feasibility and commercial viability of an area of interest are demonstrable and a decision to proceed with development of the project has been made and includes subsequent development costs required to bring the mine into production. Any ongoing costs associated with mining which are considered to benefit mining operations in future periods are capitalised.

Depreciation

All PP&E, except freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line basis over the asset's useful life to the Group, commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation methods used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of plant and equipment

Depreciation method

Buildings

Straight line at 5% per annum

Plant and equipment - process plant

Straight line over remaining mine life

Plant and equipment - other

Straight line at 10% to 30% per annum

Mine property and development

Straight line over remaining mine life

Right-of-Use Assets

Straight line over term of lease

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, at each reporting date.  An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.


Right-of-use assets (Leases)

As a lessee, the Group recognises a right-of-use (ROU) asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability, representing its obligation to make lease payments, on the statement of financial position for leases (other than short term and low value leases). ROU assets are depreciated over the life of the lease.

The Group recognises a ROU asset and a lease liability (refer to Note 19) at the lease commencement date. The ROU asset is initially measured at cost (present value of the lease liability plus any initial direct costs of acquiring the asset), and subsequently at cost less accumulated depreciation, impairment losses and adjusted for remeasurement of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments expected to be paid over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if the rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate or, where not available, a market rate alternative. The lease liability is further remeasured if the estimated future lease payments change as a result of index or rate changes, residual value guarantees or likelihood of exercise of purchase, extension or termination options.

Note 11: Impairment of Kwale Operations assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its assets to determine whether there is any indication those assets have been impaired. The company has determined that no impairment assessment is required.

In FY23, Kwale Operations CGU's carrying value exceeded its recoverable amount by $88.9 million, resulting in a pre-tax impairment loss of $88.9 million being charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2023. In estimating the future post-tax cash flows expected to be generated by Kwale Operations, the Company assumed:

 Production from Kwale Ore Reserves estimates using historical processing recoveries.

 Production consistent with previously released production guidance.

 Increased operating costs based on recent cost history.

 Future capital requirements, including the cost of transitioning mining operations to the Bumamani deposit following depletion of the South Dune and recently updated rehabilitation and closure cost estimates.

 Third party price forecasts from a global, independent consulting and publishing company which specialises in all aspects of the mineral sands, titanium dioxide and coatings industries.  Given the market and global economic outlook at the time, the Company elected to take a conservative position and use a midpoint between the publishing company's 'base case' and 'low case' price forecasts.

 A discount rate of 10%.

 Remaining mine life to December 2024.

The impairment loss was applied to the following assets on a pro rata basis, except for the Rehabilitation and mine closure asset which has been written down to nil as this asset is not expected to contribute to future cash flows and therefore no future economic benefit existed:

Mine closure and rehabilitation obligations

The calculation of the mine closure and rehabilitation provision requires assumptions such as application of environmental legislation, mine closure dates, available technologies, engineering costs and inflation and discount rates. A change in any of the assumptions used may have a material impact on the carrying value of mine closure and rehabilitation obligations.

The mine closure and rehabilitation provision is recorded as a liability at present value, assuming a risk-free discount rate equivalent to the 2 year US Government bonds rate of 5.33% as at 30 June 2024 (2023: 4.87%) and an inflation factor derived from the US consumer price index of 2.97% (2023: 6.01%).

Although the ultimate amount to be incurred is uncertain, management has, at 30 June 2024, estimated the cost of mine closure and rehabilitation activities using estimate of timing of rehabilitation activities spanning from 0.5 to 5 years and a total undiscounted and uninflated estimated cash flow of $48.5 million (2023: $50.0 million). The decrease in the undiscounted and uninflated estimate is due to rehabilitation work completed during the year on the Kwale Central, Kwale South, Kwale North dunes and the tailings storage facility. Management's estimate of the underlying cost of mine closure and rehabilitation activities is reviewed by an external consultant on a regular basis for completeness, with the last such review completed in May 2024.


Recognition and measurement of 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.

A mine closure and rehabilitation provision is recognised at the commencement of a mining project and/or construction based on the estimated costs necessary to meet legislative requirements by estimating future costs and discounting these to a present value. The provision is recognised as a liability, separated into current (estimated costs arising within twelve months) and non-current components based on the expected timing of these cash flows. A corresponding asset is included in mine property and mine development assets, only to the extent that it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the restoration expenditure will flow to the entity and is amortised over the life of the mine.

At each reporting date the mine closure and rehabilitation provision is re-measured in line with changes in discount rates and timing or amounts of the costs to be incurred. Adjustments to the estimated amount and timing of future closure and rehabilitation cash flows are a normal occurrence in light of the significant judgements and estimates involved and are dealt with on a prospective basis as they arise.

Changes in the liability relating to mine closure and rehabilitation obligations are added to or deducted from the related asset (where it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity), other than the unwinding of the discount which is recognised as a financing expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Where a change in the liability relating to mine closure and rehabilitation obligations results in a reduction to the liability greater than the carrying value of the related asset, the reduction in excess of the asset carrying value will be recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Changes in the asset value have a corresponding adjustment to future amortisation charges.

In January 2018, Base Resources completed the acquisition of the Toliara Project in Madagascar, with payment of $75.0 million in up-front consideration, for an initial 85% interest. In January 2020, in accordance with the terms of the share sale agreement with World Titane Holdings Limited, the Group acquired the remaining minority interest in the Toliara Project. A further $17.0 million (deferred consideration) is payable on achievement of key milestones, with $7.0 million payable upon attaining fiscal and legal stability and $10.0 million payable on making a final investment decision (FID). With the an Memorandum of Understanding to record the Toliara Project fiscal terms, together with lifting of the suspension of activities, expected to be achievable in the near term, Base Resources believes it would take approximately 14 months to complete the necessary work to reach a FID.  Based on the expected timing of progressing to FID, a current liability of $7.0 million and a non-current liability of $10.0 million being recognised.

Following implementation of the Scheme of Arrangement between Energy Fuels and Base Resources on 2 October 2024, payment of the $17.0 million deferred consideration accelerated on the change of control and is due within 14 days.

All issued shares are fully paid. The Group does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its issued shares. The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Group.

Recognition and measurement of issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

Note 16: Treasury shares reserve

During the reporting period, the Company instructed the trustee of the Base Resources long term incentive program (LTIP) (Trustee) to acquire ordinary shares in the Company on-market (Treasury Shares), for future allocation to holders of performance rights issued under the Company's LTIP that vest and are exercised. During the reporting period the LTIP cycle commencing 1 October 2020 (2020 cycle performance rights), completed its three year performance period, resulting in a partial vesting (refer to Note 17). Subsequent to their vesting, several LTIP participants chose to exercise their vested 2020 cycle performance rights and were allocated Treasury Shares.

The treasury shares reserve comprises the cost of treasury shares that had not yet been allocated to an LTIP participant as at 30 June 2024.

Performance rights

During the reporting period, the Company issued 28,790,016 performance rights to key management personnel and other senior staff under the Bases Resources' LTIP. The LTIP operates on a series of annual cycles. Each cycle commences on 1 October and is followed by a three year performance period, with a test date on the third anniversary of the commencement of the cycle. Performance rights are tested against two criteria, relative TSR performance set against an applicable comparator group and absolute TSR based on the total shareholder return within the performance period.

The three year performance period for the 17,126,301 performance rights granted for the 2020 cycle performance rights concluded on 30 September 2023. Base Resources' absolute TSR over the performance period was 43%, resulting in 29% of the absolute TSR performance rights vesting. Base Resources' relative TSR over the performance period placed it in the 71st percentile which resulted in 93% of the relative TSR performance rights vesting. Accordingly, a total of 10,528,393 of the 2020 cycle performance rights vested.

Total expenses arising from share based payment transactions during the year as part of employee benefit expenses was $1.7 million (2023: $1.5 million).

Granted performance rights are as follows:

Performance cycle date   KMP     Other employees     Total     Fair value at grant date  
1 October 2021   6,386,495     10,283,242     16,669,737     A$0.1855  
1 October 2022   6,506,083     11,779,943     18,286,026     A$0.0945  
1 October 2023   6,638,338     22,151,678     28,790,016     A$0.1030  

All performance rights are granted for nil consideration.

The fair value of the performance rights granted during the reporting period has been estimated at the date of grant using a the Black-Scholes-Merton model that includes a Monte Carlo Simulation Model using the following assumptions: share price of A$0.17, risk-free interest rate of 4.08%; volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's shares of 55.0%; annual dividend yield of nil and a remaining life of performance rights of 3.00 years at valuation date. The fair value of the performance rights is recognised over the three year performance period, which commenced on the date of grant of 1 October 2023.

The movement in the number of performance rights during the year is set out below:

    2024     2023  
Opening balance   51,725,507     61,092,425  
Granted - cycle commenced during reporting period   28,790,016     17,929,469

Closing balance   63,745,779     51,725,507  

(i) Performance rights granted to LTIP participants commencing employment during the financial year but prior to the cycle commencing 1 October 2023.


Recognition and measurement of share based payments

The Base Resources LTIP is an equity settled employee share scheme. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of performance rights is ascertained using a recognised pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions.

Note 19: Financial risk management

The Group's activities expose it primarily to the following financial risks:

  • Market risk consisting of interest rate risk and currency exchange risk.
  • Credit risk.
  • Liquidity risk.

The overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Group in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. The senior executives of the Group meet on a regular basis to analyse treasury risks and evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts.

Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the Risk Committee and the Board on a regular basis. Financial assets and liabilities of the Group are carried at amortised cost, which approximates fair value.

The Group's financial instruments consist of deposits with banks, accounts receivable, trade payables, deferred consideration and lease liabilities:

Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk from bank balances, payables and receivables that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities, being USD and AUD.

The USD carrying amount of the Group's financial assets and liabilities by its currency risk exposure at the reporting date is:

Sensitivity analysis

Based on the financial instruments held at reporting date, had the functional currencies weakened/strengthened by 10% and all other variables held constant, the Group's before-tax profit/(loss) for the year to date would have been $2.7 million lower/higher (2023: $4.8 million lower/higher).

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. Credit risk arises from cash and deposits with financial institutions as well as credit exposures to outstanding receivables. Credit risk on cash and deposits is managed by holding funds with a range of reputable international banks.

The Group is exposed to counterparty credit risk through its principal activity of mineral sands products sales under normal terms of trade. Total sales revenue for the year ended 30 June 2024 was $135.1 million (2023: $271.4 million). Base Resources had three major customers who individually accounted for more than 10% of sales revenue, with the first contributing $33.8 million (2023: $39.4 million), the next contributing $21.0 million (2023: $15.0 million) and the last contributing $15.3 million (2023: $16.1 million). These customers represent 52% (2023: 64%) of the trade receivables balance at 30 June 2024.

Customer credit risk is managed by the Group's policy to only trade with reputable companies, with whom a long-term offtake agreement is held, or where such an agreement is not in place, sales are backed by Letters of Credit held with internationally recognised banks. Credit assessments are undertaken to determine the credit quality of the customer, taking into account their financial position, external credit reports and other relevant factors.  Individual risk limits are granted in accordance with the internal credit policy and, depending on the risk rating, sales are authorised via appropriate personnel as defined by the Group's delegation of authority.

Other receivables at 30 June 2024 include $8.8 million (2023: $5.0 million) in VAT receivable owed by the Government of Kenya (refer to Note 7). An estimation has been made as to the timing of the receipt of this amount and forms the basis for its classification as a current asset.


At the reporting date the carrying amounts of financial assets are adjusted for any impairment and represent the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, which was as follows:

    2024
US$000s
    2023

Total anticipated inflows   121,677     155,950

Total   121,677     155,950  

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Group manages liquidity risk by conducting regular reviews of the timing of cash outflows and the maturity profiles of term deposits in order to ensure sufficient funds are available to meet its obligations.

Capital management

Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain an appropriate working capital position to ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. Capital is managed by assessing the Group's financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market.

Note 20: Contingent liability

In connection with its acquisition of the Kwale Project in 2010, Base Titanium Limited granted a 2% royalty to third parties owning or having an interest in that project. There is a disagreement between Base Titanium Limited and one of the royalty holders, Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd (Osisko), which holds 75% of the 2% royalty (i.e. a 1.5% royalty) - specifically, whether, and the extent to which, the royalty applies outside the Kwale Special Mining Lease 23 as it existed at the time of the acquisition. Osisko has taken formal steps to enforce its claimed rights in respect of the royalty, which Base Titanium is opposing. The directors have not disclosed an estimate of any amount for this contingent liability as a reliable estimate of the amount arising from any possible obligation cannot be made at this stage.

Independent Auditor's Report

The Board of Directors

Base Resources Limited

 

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Base Resources Limited and its subsidiaries (the Company), which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issuance.

 Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 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. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

 Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

On October 2, 2024, EFR Australia Pty Ltd ("EFR"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Fuels Inc. ("Energy Fuels" or the "Company"), completed the acquisition of all of the fully paid ordinary shares of Base Resources Limited ("Base Resources") pursuant to a Scheme Implementation Deed dated April 21, 2024 by and among the Company, EFR and Base Resources (the "Deed").

Under the Deed, at closing, each holder of ordinary shares of Base Resources received consideration of (i) 0.0260 of the Company’s common shares for each Base Resources share held on the Scheme Record Date (being 5 pm Perth, Australia time on Wednesday, September 18, 2024) (the “Share Consideration”), and (ii) AUS$0.065 in cash, paid by way of a special dividend by Base Resources to its shareholders (the “Transaction”). The total Share Consideration issued by Energy Fuels was approximately US$178.4 million and the total special dividend value paid by Base Resources was approximately US$55.1 million. Holders of ordinary shares of Base Resources that reside in certain jurisdictions will receive the net proceeds from the sale made by a nominee of the Company’s common shares in lieu of the Share Consideration.

The Company is providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid shareholders in their analysis of the financial aspects of the Transaction. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 combines the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2024 with the audited consolidated balance sheet of Base Resources as of June 30, 2024, giving effect to the Transaction as if it had been consummated on June 30, 2024.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 combines the audited consolidated statement of operations of Energy Fuels for the year ended December 31, 2023 with the unaudited results of Base Resources for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of Base Resources for the year ended December 31, 2023 were calculated as (i) the historical audited statement of operations of Base Resources for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023; less (ii) the historical unaudited statement of operations of Base Resources for the six months ended December 31, 2022; plus (iii) the historical unaudited statement of operations of Base Resources for the six months ended December 31, 2023.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 combines the unaudited consolidated statement of operations of Energy Fuels for the six months ended June 30, 2024 with the unaudited results of Base Resources for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The results of Base Resources for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were calculated as (i) the historical audited statement of operations of Base Resources for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024; less (ii) the historical unaudited statement of operations of Base Resources for the six months ended December 31, 2023.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations give effect to the Transaction as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2023.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the following historical financial statements and the accompanying notes:

 The historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of Energy Fuels as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on August 2, 2024;

 The historical audited consolidated financial statements of Energy Fuels as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with SEC on February 23, 2024 and as amended on June 28, 2024;

Accounting for the Transaction

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). Energy Fuels has been treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes, and thus accounts for the Transaction as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). The total purchase price will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their respective fair values. The allocation of the purchase price reflected in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is preliminary and is subject to adjustment upon receipt of, among other things, appraisals of some of the assets and liabilities of Base Resources. As a result, the pro forma adjustments included herein are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited combined financial information.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information appearing below does not consider any potential effects of changes in market conditions on revenues or expense efficiencies, among other factors. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes, the preliminary allocation of the pro forma purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to adjustment and may vary significantly from the actual purchase price allocation that will be recorded upon completion of the Transaction.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on the aforementioned historical financial statements and the assumptions and adjustments as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The pro forma adjustments reflect transaction accounting adjustments related to the Transaction, which is discussed in further detail below. Amounts presented reflect the accounting for the acquisition of Base Resources by Energy Fuels. Base Resources' historical financial statements are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). A preliminary analysis has been performed, and no material adjustments were identified that were required to conform Base Resources results with U.S. GAAP outside of adjustments applied as part of the step-up in basis as part of the purchase price allocation reflected as an adjustment to the pro forma financial information. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent the combined company's consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position that would actually have occurred had the Transaction been consummated on the dates assumed or to project the combined company's consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position for any future date or period. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the costs of any integration activities or cost savings or synergies that may be achieved because of the Transaction.

Base Resources and Energy Fuels have not had any historical material relationship prior to the Transaction. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

The pro forma adjustments have been prepared as if the Transaction had been consummated on June 30, 2024, in the case of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, and as if the Transaction had been consummated on January 1, 2023, in the case of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method, Base Resources' assets and liabilities will be recorded at their respective fair values. The pro formas are based on preliminary accounting conclusions and are subject to potential revisions upon further analysis.

Base Resources' historical financial statements are presented in accordance with IFRS. A preliminary analysis has been performed, and no material adjustments were identified that were required to conform with Base Resources financial statements with U.S. GAAP.

The pro forma adjustments represent management's estimates based on information available as of the date of this Current Report and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed.

One-time direct and incremental transaction costs anticipated to be incurred prior to, or concurrent with, the closing of the Transaction will be expensed as incurred under ASC 805 and are assumed to be cash settled.

Energy Fuels has performed a preliminary review of Base Resources' and Energy Fuels' accounting policies, and no material impacts are expected to be required as a result of the review performed.

2. Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2024

The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 are as follows:

(A) Reflects a reclassification adjustment to conform Base Resources' historical balances to the financial statement presentation of Energy Fuels.

(B) Reflects the special dividend of US$55.1 million paid to holders of Base Resources' common shares prior to closing of the Transaction.

(C) Reflects the purchase price allocation adjustments to record Base Resources' assets and liabilities at estimated fair value based on the consideration conveyed.

The preliminary purchase price was allocated among the identified assets to be acquired, based on a preliminary analysis. The deferred tax assets represent the deferred tax impact associated with the incremental differences in book and tax basis created from the preliminary purchase price allocation. On a preliminary basis, deferred taxes were not considered probable to be realized and thus were not included as part of the purchase price allocation below. The estimates of fair value, which are based upon preliminary valuation assumptions, are believed to be reasonable but are inherently uncertain and unpredictable; and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates and the difference may be material.



Preliminary purchase price allocation   Fair value  
Cash and cash equivalents   33,044  
Trade and other receivables, net of allowance for credit losses   33,560  
Inventories   31,100  
Prepaid expenses and other current assets   2,401  
Mineral properties   132,951

Operating lease right of use asset   1,000  
Other long-term receivables   4,114  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   (13,106 )
Asset retirement obligation (current)   (29,000 )
Provisions   (9,310 )
Deferred consideration   (17,000 )
Current tax liability   (3,035 )
Other current liabilities   (484 )
Asset retirement obligation (noncurrent)   (8,600 )
Other non-current liabilities   (592 )
Total fair value $ 178,438  
       
Consideration Conveyed      
Shares to holders of Base Resources' common shares   31,920,983  
Energy Fuels stock price (1) $ 5.59  
Total preliminary purchase price consideration $ 178,438  

(1) Reflects closing price of Energy Fuels' common stock as of October 1, 2024.

(D) Reflects the impact of nonrecurring expenses related to estimated transaction costs, primarily comprised of investment banking fees, legal fees, issuance costs, accounting and audit fees, and other related advisory costs. The related income statement adjustment is reflected at adjustment (CC).

3. Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and for the Year Ended December 31, 2023

(AA) Reflects the pro forma impacts related to the purchase price allocation discussed at adjustment (C). This includes the following impacts:

1) Depreciation expense. Reflects a decrease in depreciation expense related to real property and personal property, calculated using the remaining useful life of zero to two years for both categories.

2) Cost of goods sold – asset retirement obligation. Reflects an increase in expense related to the asset retirement obligation, calculated using the remaining useful life of zero to two years.

3) Cost of goods sold – inventory. Reflects an increase in the cost of goods sold related to inventory. This was considered to be a nonrecurring impact, as inventory is expected to fully turnover within the first year subsequent to closing, and thus, this adjustment only impacts the year ended December 31, 2023.

(BB) Reflects the tax impact of all pro forma adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, calculated using the statutory rate of 30%, which is the relevant statutory rate for both Australia and Kenya. It was determined that this was the most appropriate rate to use based on the nature of the adjustments to the statements of operations.


(CC) Reflects the recognition of nonrecurring expenses related to estimated transaction costs, which are primarily comprised of investment banking fees, legal fees, issuance costs, accounting and audit fees, and other related advisory costs. The related balance sheet adjustment is reflected at adjustment (D).

4. Unaudited Pro Forma Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The pro forma weighted average shares calculations have been performed for the year ended December 31, 2023 using the historical weighted average shares outstanding and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Transaction, assuming it occurred on January 1, 2023. As the Transaction is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for both basic and diluted income per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Transaction have been outstanding for the entire periods presented.
