provide future growth and value for the Company and its
shareholders. Over the last year, the Company has considered,
reviewed and evaluated numerous projects and investment
opportunities with a view of securing attractive targets.
The Company is pleased to report that it is currently in

offer shareholders exposure to significant plays in the energy
sector and looks forward to sharing the details of these
potentially value enhancing opportunities should they progress to
binding deals.
Operational Review
LandOcean Energy Services Co Limited litigation
On 14 July 2021, the Company advised that its legal advisers
Dentons UK and Middle East LLP have now filed an arbitration
request in the London Court of International Arbitration ( the
"Request"), which officially marks commencement of arbitration
proceedings against LandOcean Energy Services Co Limited.
Pursuant to the Request, the Group is claiming various sums from
LandOcean Energy Services Co Limited currently estimated in excess
of US$8.4 million. There are additional claims of US$1.8 million
that fall outside of the Request, and the Company is exploring
options of bringing these claims separately in the courts of
Trinidad and Tobago. These sums are owed to the Group by LandOcean
Energy Services Co Limited pursuant to the sale and purchase
agreement of Range Resources Trinidad Limited.
Oilfield services
Following the sale, in the prior year, of the upstream business
(RRTL) which was by far the largest client of RRDSL, and given the
continued challenging industry conditions, the Company completed an
organizational restructure of RRDSL in order to substantially
reduce overheads and the ongoing costs of the Group.
The Company has also been actively marketing the rigs and
equipment. As a result, the Company sold four production rigs for a
total sum of US$0.06 million. The Company continues the sale
process of the remaining two production workover and five drilling
rigs.
The Company is also considering its options with regards to its
interests in Indonesia.
Management changes
On 27 August 2021, the company announced that the Directors made
a decision to implement changes to the management team. As a
result, a mutual agreement was reached for Mr Theo Eleftheriades,
the Chief Financial Officer and Ms Evgenia Bezruchko, the Group
Corporate Development Manager and Joint Company Secretary to cease
their employment in their current roles. The Board of Directors
have approved the non-Board appointment of Mr Harry Liu as Chief
Financial Officer. All of the management changes came into effect
on 1 September 2021.
On 31 August 2021, the company announced that Mr Lubing Liu will
continue his role as company secretary.
On 31 May 2022, the board elected and appointed Mr Lubing Liu as
Executive Chairman from 1 June 2022. The board appointed Dr Mu
(Robin) Luo as Company Secretary and Executive Director from 1 June
2022. The Board approved Mr Zhiwei (Kerry) Gu's appointment as
Executive Chairman will cease on 31 May 2022. Mr Gu will remain as
a Non-Executive Director effective from 1 June 2022.
Director's Salaries and payments
On 07 September 2021, the company announced that the Board of
Directors has approved delaying all directors' salaries and
payments from 1 September 2021 subject to further review at the
beginning of 2022 in accordance with the cash position of the
Company at that particular time.
This has been taken as a cash conservation measure to preserve
the Company's cash reserves whilst it seeks the collection of the
monies owed to it by LandOcean Energy Services Co Limited, as
updated in the Company's announcement of 14 July 2021.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
There have been no significant changes in the state of affairs
of the Group during the financial year, other than as set out in

A special general Meeting was held on 10 December 2021 after the
Company received a request from Beijing Sibo Investment Management

to consider the following resolutions:
1. Election of Director - Mr. Qu Guangsheng;
2. Election of Director - Mr. Deng Lian Jun;
3. Election of Director - Mr. Yang Chon Yi;
The Company called, arranged and held the Meeting to consider
all the resolutions proposed pursuant to these requests and in
accordance with the provisions of section 249D of the Corporations
Act. Following the Extraordinary General Meeting, none of the
resolutions was duly passed.
Likely developments and expected results of operations
The Company continues its search of new attractive acquisition
opportunities to provide future growth and value for the Company
and its shareholders. The Company is also seeking to complete the

cashflow and strengthen the Company's financial position.

Environmental regulations and performance
The Group's operations are not regulated by any significant
environmental regulation under a law of the Commonwealth or of a
state or territory.

officer or secretary of the Company or any related corporation in
respect of any act or omission whatsoever and howsoever occurring
or in defending any proceedings whether civil or criminal.
During the financial year, the Company has paid premiums of

Proceedings on behalf of the company
No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on
behalf of the Company or to intervene in any proceedings to which
the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on
behalf of the Company for all or any part of those proceedings.
The Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the
year.
Corporate governance
In recognising the need for the highest standards of corporate
behaviour and accountability, the Board has adhered to the
principles of sound corporate governance. The Board of the Company
and its subsidiaries are committed to achieving and demonstrating
robust corporate governance practices which are appropriate for the
Group's size and stage of development, and which facilitate the
long-term performance and sustainability of the Company as well as
protecting and enhancing the interests of its shareholders and
other stakeholders.
During the year, the Directors adopted the UK's QCA Corporate
Governance Code for Small and Mid-Size Quoted Companies (the "QCA
Code"), in replacement of the ASX's Corporate Governance Council's
Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations 3rd Edition, as
the basis for its corporate governance. The Corporate Governance
Statement and Corporate Governance Plan are available on the
Company's website www.starphoenixgroup.com.
Non-audit services

practice of BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd in respect to the Company's tax
compliance is US$34,345 (2021: US$36,338).
The board of directors has considered the position and is
satisfied that the provision of the non-audit services is
compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors
imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The directors are satisfied
that the provision of non-audit services by the auditor did not
compromise the auditor independence requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
1. all non-audit services have been reviewed by the Board to
ensure they do not impact the impartiality and objectivity of the
auditor; and
2. none of the services undermine the general principles
relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of
Ethics for Professional Accountants.
Remuneration Report (Audited)
Remuneration policy
The remuneration policy of Star Phoenix Group has been designed
to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and
business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and
offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance
areas affecting the Group's financial results. The Board of Star
Phoenix Group Limited believes the remuneration policy to be
appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the
best executives and directors to run and manage the Group, as well
as create alignment of goals between directors, executives and
shareholders.
The Board's policy for determining the nature and amount of
remuneration for Board members and senior executives of the Company
is as follows:
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for
the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed
and approved by the Board.
Non-executive directors, executive directors and senior
executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as
length of service and experience), which is calculated on a total
cost basis and includes any FBT charges related to employee
benefits including motor vehicles, as well as employer
contributions to superannuation funds where applicable.
Executive and non-executive directors can be employed by the
Company on a consultancy basis on Board approval, with remuneration
and terms stipulated in individual consultancy agreements.
The Company does not currently have a Remuneration Committee. In
its absence, the full Board is responsible for the determination of
the remuneration of Directors and senior executives and ensuring
that such remuneration is appropriate and not excessive. Where
considered necessary, the Board may engage a remuneration
consultant to assist with setting and reviewing the Company's
executive and non-executive remuneration policies to ensure the
Company attracts and retains executives and Directors who will
create value for shareholders. As the Company grows in size, it is
planned that the Company will establish a separate remuneration
committee with its own remuneration committee charter. No
remuneration consultant has been used during the year.
The Board is also responsible for evaluating the performance of
Directors and the senior executives. It is envisaged that once the
Company is of a sufficient size to establish a Nomination
Committee, that committee will be responsible for arranging the
performance evaluation of the Board, its committees, and individual
Directors on behalf of the Board. This evaluation will be based on
specific criteria, including the business performance of the
Company and its subsidiaries, whether strategic objectives are
being achieved and the development of management and personnel. A
formal performance evaluation was not undertaken during the
financial year; however, the Company intends to undertake such
review during the following financial year.
All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at
the cost to the Company and expensed. Shares given to directors and
executives are valued as the difference between the market price of
those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive.
Unlisted options are valued using the Black-Scholes
methodology.
The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at
market rates for comparable companies taking into consideration
time, commitment, and level of responsibility. Fees for
non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the
Group. The directors are not required to hold any shares in the
Company under the Constitution of the Company; however, to align
directors' interests with shareholder interests, the directors are
encouraged to hold shares in the Company.
Under the Company's share trading policy, all employees and
directors of the Company and its related companies are prohibited
from trading in the Company's shares or other securities if they
are in possession of inside information.
The Board believes that it has implemented suitable practices
and procedures that are appropriate for an organisation of this
size and maturity.
Company performance, shareholder wealth and directors and
executive's remuneration
No relationship exists between shareholder wealth, director and
executive remuneration and Company performance.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1: Significant accounting policies
These financial statements are general purpose financial
statements that have 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. Star Phoenix Group Ltd is a
for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial
statements.
The financial statements cover the Group consisting of Star
Phoenix Group Ltd and its controlled entities. Financial
information for Star Phoenix Group Ltd as an individual entity is
disclosed in Note 25. Star Phoenix Group Ltd is a listed public
company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies
adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial
statements. The accounting policies have been consistently applied,
unless otherwise stated. The financial report was authorised for
issue by the Directors on 17 February2023.
Basis of preparation
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical
cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of
financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive
income, certain classes of property, plant and equipment.
Compliance with IFRS
The financial statements of Star Phoenix Group Ltd also comply
with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The
financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 17
February 2023.
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the
Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (the "Functional
Currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in
United States Dollars (USD), which is Star Phoenix Group Ltd.'s
functional and presentation currency.
Going concern
This report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which
contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the
realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal
course of business.
For the year ended 30 June 2022 the Group recorded a loss of
US$1,362,820 (2021: a loss of US$6,257,580), had net cash outflows
of US$1,172,964 (2021: cash outflows of US$1,208,834) and had a
cash balance of US$758,346 (2021: cash balance of
US$1,911,072).
As at the reporting date (17 February 2023), the company had a
cash balance of approximately US$457,000. Management believe there
are sufficient funds to meet the Group's working capital
requirements for the next 6 months. The ability of the Group to
continue as a going concern beyond that timeframe is dependent on
securing additional funding through the issue of shares and/or debt
to fund its activities. The Company is currently seeking other
opportunities to further expand its operations in other geographic
locations.
These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a
significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going
concern and, therefore, it may be unable to realise its assets and
discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company is currently seeking other opportunities to expand
its operations in other geographic locations and a successful
investment in a new project may be used to raise additional capital
and subsequently generate positive cash flows. The Company is also
focusing on managing its existing cash reserves.
.
Should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern,
it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its
liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at
amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements.
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to
the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue
as a going concern.
(a) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and
liabilities of all subsidiaries of Star Phoenix Group Ltd ("Parent
Entity" or "Company") as at 30 June 2022 and the results of all
subsidiaries for the year then ended. Star Phoenix Group Ltd and
its subsidiaries together are referred to as the "Group".
Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose
entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an
entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable
returns from its investment with the entity and has the ability to
affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of
the entity.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during
the year, their operating results have been included/excluded from
the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased. A
list of controlled entities is contained in Note 13 to the
financial statements. All controlled entities have a 30 June
financial year-end.
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in
the Group, including any unrealised profits or losses have been
eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries
have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with
those policies applied by the Group.
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant
influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying
a shareholding of between 20-50% of the voting rights. Investments
in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial
statements using the equity method of accounting, after initially
being recognised at cost.
(b) Income tax
The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit
for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items.
It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are
substantively enacted by the reporting date within each
jurisdiction.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method in
respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial
statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the
initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business
combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable
profit or loss.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to
apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is
settled. Deferred tax is credited in profit or loss except where it
relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which
case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it
is probable that future tax profits will be available against which
deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for
temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of
investments in foreign operations where the company is able to
control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and
it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the
foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a
legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and
liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same
taxation authority. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset
where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and
intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset
and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except
to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax
is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity, respectively.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be
realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse
change will occur in income taxation legislation 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.
(c) Property, plant and equipment
Owned assets
Plant and equipment are measured on the historical cost basis
less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Group includes
the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an
appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or
recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item
will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit
or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including capitalised
lease 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. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the
shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the
estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset
are:
Class of fixed Asset Depreciation Rate
Plant & equipment 11.25% - 33%
==================
Production equipment 10 - 20%
==================
Motor vehicles, furniture &
fixtures 25 - 33%
==================
Leasehold improvements 10 - 12.50%
==================
The residual values of the assets and their useful lives are
reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each reporting date.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually
by the directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable
amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the
basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from
the employment of the assets and subsequent disposal. The expected
net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in
determining recoverable amounts.
The carrying amount of the asset is written down to its
recoverable amount if its carrying amount is greater than its
estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing
proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are
included in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, amounts
included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are
transferred to accumulated losses.
(d) Exploration and evaluation expenditure and the recognition
of assets
Acquisition costs for exploration and evaluation projects are
accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These
costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected
to be recouped through the successful development of the area or
where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that
permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically
recoverable reserves.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written
off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to
abandon the area is made.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to
determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs
in relation to that area of interest.
The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and
evaluation assets is dependent on the successful development and
commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective
areas of interest.
The carrying values of expenditures carried forward are reviewed
for impairment at each reporting date when the facts, events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be
impaired.
Accumulated expenditures are written off to profit or loss to
the extent to which they are considered to be impaired.
The group applies AASB 6 Exploration and Evaluation of Mineral
Resources which is equivalent to IFRS 6. The carrying value of
exploration and evaluation expenditure is historical cost less
impairment.
(e) Financial instruments
The Group's financial instruments include cash and cash
equivalents and trade and other receivables.
A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if it is
held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in
order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified
dates and that are solely principal and interest.
A debt investment shall be measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose
objective is to both hold assets in order to collect contractual
cash flows which arise on specified dates that are solely principal
and interest as well as selling the asset on the basis of its fair
value.
All other financial assets are classified and measured at fair
value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable
election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on
equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading or contingent
consideration recognised in a business combination) in other
comprehensive income ('OCI').
Despite these requirements, a financial asset may be irrevocably
designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss to
reduce the effect of, or eliminate, an accounting mismatch. For
financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or
loss, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value
that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI
(unless it would create an accounting mismatch).
Simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more
closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management
activities of the entity. Impairment requirements use an 'expected
credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance. Impairment is
measured using a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a
financial instrument has increased significantly since initial
recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. For
receivables, a simplified approach to measuring expected credit
losses using a lifetime expected loss allowance is available.
(f) Foreign currency transactions and balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each entity within the Group is
determined using the currency of the primary economic environment
in which that entity operates.
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional
currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the
transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the
year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical
cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the
transaction.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the
exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary
items are recognised in profit or loss
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary
items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain
or loss is directly recognised in equity; otherwise the exchange
difference is recognised in profit or loss.
(h) Provisions
Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good
obligations are recognised when the Group has a present legal or
constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions
are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood
that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by
considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is
recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any
one item included in the same class of obligations may be
small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's
best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present
obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to
determine the present value reflects the current market assessments
of the time value of money and the risk specific to the liability.
The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is
recognised as interest expense.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at
call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less that are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to
insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank
overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current
liabilities on the statement of financial position.
(j) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30
days.
The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to
measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected
loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade
receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any
allowance for expected credit losses.
(k) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the consolidated entity is expected to be
entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a
customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group identifies
the contract with a customer; identifies the performance
obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which
takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time
value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate
performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone
selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and
recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is
satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of
the goods or services promised.
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over
time as the services are rendered based on either a fixed price or
an hourly rate.
Revenue from the sale of oil and gas and related products was
recognised when the Group had transferred to the buyer control of
the product. In the case of oil, this usually occurs at the time of
lifting. Other revenue is recognised when control has passed.
(l) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount
of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable
from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST 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.
Cash flows are presented in the consolidated statement of cash
flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing
and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash
flows.
(m) Comparative figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have
been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current
financial year.
(n) Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
must be estimated for recognition and measurement for disclosure
purposes.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets
(such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and
available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at
the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial
assets held by the Group is the current bid price.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in
an active market (for example over-the-counter derivatives) is
determined using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of
methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions
existing at each reporting date.
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade
receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair
values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial
liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the
future contractual cash follows at the current market interest rate
that is available to the Group for similar financial
instruments.
(o) Investments in associates
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity
method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements.
Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is
carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost
plus post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of net assets of
the associate.
After application of the equity method, the Group determines
whether it is necessary to recognise any additional impairment loss
with respect to the Group's net investment in the associate.
The Group's share of the associate post-acquisition profits or
losses is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are
adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the
Group's share of losses in the associate equals or exceeds its
interest in the associate, including any unsecured long-term
receivables and loans, the Group does not recognise further losses,
unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of
the associate.
The reporting dates of the associate and the Group are identical
and the associate's accounting policies conform to those used by
the Group for like transactions and events in similar
circumstances.
(p) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services
provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are
unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30
days of recognition unless alternative terms are agreed.
(q) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being
appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the
entity, on or before the end of the financial year but not
distributed at reporting date.
(r) Contributed equity
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 or
loss attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any
costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the
financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares
issued during the year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the
determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the
after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs
associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(t) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the
internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker. The chief
operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating
resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has
been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.
(u) Impairment of assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful
life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for
impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets
are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by
which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less
costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing
impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which they
are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of
assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than
goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible
reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
(v) Share-based payments
The fair value of options granted is recognised as an expense
with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be
expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the
options granted, which includes any market performance conditions
and the impact of any non-vesting conditions but excludes the
impact of any service and non-market performance vesting
conditions.
(w) Employee benefits
Wages and salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary
benefits are recognised in current liabilities in respect of
employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at
the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are
settled.
Long service benefit
The liability for long service benefit is recognised in current
and non-current liabilities, depending on the unconditional right
to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after
the reporting date. The liability is measured as the present value
of expected future payments to be made in respect of services
provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected
unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage
and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of
service.
(x) Leases
Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets,
right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities are
recognised in the statement of financial position. Straight-line
operating lease expense recognition is replaced with a depreciation
charge for the right-of-use assets (included in operating costs)
and an interest expense on the recognised lease liabilities
(included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease,
the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher
when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However, EBITDA
(Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation)
results improve as the operating expense is now replaced by
interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss. For
classification within the statement of cash flows, the interest
portion is disclosed in operating activities and the principal
portion of the lease payments are separately disclosed in financing
activities.
(y) Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value
of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.
Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the
loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.
(z) Inventories
Inventories include consumable supplies and maintenance spares
and are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost
is determined on a weighted average basis and includes direct costs
and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable production
overheads where applicable. Inventories determined to be obsolete
or damaged are written down to net realisable value, being the
estimated selling price less selling costs.
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated
into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and
best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable
expectation of future events and are based on current trends and
economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. Areas
involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas
where estimations and assumptions are significant to the financial
statements are disclosed here.
(aa) Non-current assets classified as held for sale and
discontinued operations
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their
carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale
transaction rather than through continuing use. They are measured
at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to
sell. For non-current assets to be classified as held for sale,
they must be available for immediate sale in their present
condition and their sale must be highly probable.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent
write down of the non-current assets to fair value less costs to
sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair
value less costs to sell of a non-current asset, but not in excess
of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised.
Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they
are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses
attributable to the liabilities of assets held for sale continue to
be recognised.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are presented
separately on the face of the consolidated statement of financial
position, in current assets. The liabilities of disposal groups
classified as held for sale are presented separately on the face of
the statement of financial position, in current liabilities.
Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's business,
the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished
from the rest of the Group and which:
-- represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;
-- is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a
separate major line of business or geographical are of operations;
and
-- is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier
of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be
classified as held-for-sale.
When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the
comparative consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income is re-presented as if the operation had been
discontinued from the start of the comparative year.
(bb) Right-of-use asset
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a
lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises
the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as
applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement
date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs
incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an
estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and
removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis
over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life
of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to
obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term,
the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use
assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement
of lease liabilities.
Note 2: Significant estimates and judgements
Impairment of rigs and related equipment
The Company sold four production rigs for a total gain of
US$83,543. The Company continues the sale process of the remaining
four production and four drilling rigs.
Impairment was calculated on an individual rig basis base on
best information available. The recoverable amount of these assets
was estimated based on an indicative conditional offer received
minus any significant costs involved in selling of the assets.
For the rest of workover/swabbing rigs, based on rigs sold to
date the evidence suggests that a lower impairment percentage
should apply. However, Management is of the opinion that given that
negotiations for those are still at a premature stage, the same
impairment percentage should apply.
Classification of assets held for sale
In accordance with AASB 5 Assets held for sale and discontinued
operations, an entity shall classify a non-current assets as held
for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally
through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. For
this to be the case, the asset must be available for immediate sale
in its present condition and that the sale must be highly probable.
AASB 5 notes that the sale should be expected to qualify as a
completed sale within 12 months from the date of
classification.
Management note that the sales process has extended beyond the
12 months as a result of the impact of COVID-19 and the travel
restrictions imposed by various governments meaning that potential
vendors have not been able to physically inspect the relevant
assets and that as a result the sales process has lasted longer
than 12 months.
Management have judged that the impact of COVID-19 meets the
criteria noted in AASB 5 regarding delays caused by events or
circumstances beyond management's control and that they remain
committed to completing the sales process as soon as
practicable.
COVID-19 pandemic
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing. Other than as
addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be
either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any
significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions
which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the
reporting date or subsequently as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic.
Note 2a: Restatement of comparatives
During the half year ended 31 December 2021, an error was
discovered in the recognition of withholding tax payable relating
to prior years. Detailed calculation were carried out in this
period and this resulted in an increase of $1,103,444 in the
withholding tax liability for the year ended 30 June 2020, an
increase of $182,803 in the withholding tax liability for the year
ended 30 June 2021. The impact of the restatement is noted

and discontinuance of services in its identification of impairment
indicators.Key assumptions on which management use in the
determination is fair value less costs to sell including binding
sales agreements,projected revenues ,capital expenditures and
cutomer base . No impairment assessment were undertaken for the
year as at 30 June 2022. As a result, no impairment was recorded in
relation to the rigs and related equipment. Refer to Impairment of

Accounting policies
AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis
of internal reports about components of the Group that are
regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order
to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.
The chief operating decision maker is the Executive Chairman and
through this role the Board of Directors.
Information regarding these segments is presented above. The
accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as
those of the Group. Segment information is prepared in conformity
with the accounting policies of the entity as disclosed in Note
1.
Segment revenues and expenses are those directly attributable to
the segments and include any joint revenue and expenses where a
reasonable basis of allocation exists. Segment assets include all
assets used by a segment and consist principally of cash,
receivables, plant and equipment, exploration expenditure
capitalised and development assets net of accumulated depreciation
and amortisation. While most such assets can be directly attributed
to individual segments, the carrying amount of certain assets used
jointly by two or more segments is allocated to the segments on a
reasonable basis. Segment disclosures do not include deferred
income taxes.

Note 26: Financial risk management
The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of
financial instruments:
-- Credit risk
-- Liquidity risk
-- Market risk
This note presents information about the Group's exposure to
each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes
for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.
Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these
financial statements. The Board of Directors has overall
responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk
management framework.
Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse
the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and
controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk
management policies and systems are reviewed to reflect changes in
market conditions and the Group's activities. The Group, through
training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a
disciplined and constructive control environment in which all
consultants and agents understand their roles and obligations.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if
counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group's
receivables and cash held at financial institutions.
Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Individual risk limits
are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with
limits set by the board.
The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due
or impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings
(if available) or to historical information about counterparty
default rates.

Loans and receivables
The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the
individual characteristics of each debtor. No collateral was held
in relation to these receivables.
Impairment losses
Following the sale of Range Resources Trinidad Limited (which
held interests in the upstream assets in Trinidad) to LandOcean
Energy Services Co Limited Energy Services Co Ltd (LandOcean Energy
Services Co Limited), certain sums remain due and payable to the
Group.
During the 2021 financial year, the Board made the decision to
fully impair the
receivable from LandOcean Energy Services Co Limited and the
performance bond receivable to adhere to accounting standards given
the situation and age of the balances, resulting to an impairment
of US$1,722,462. No further payments have been received to
date.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to
meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's
approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible,
that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its
liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions,
without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the
Group's reputation.
The Group uses activity-based costing to cost its activities,
which assists in monitoring cash flow requirements and optimising
its cash return on investments. Typically, the Group ensures that
it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational
expenses for a period of 12 months; this excludes the potential
impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be
predicted, such as natural disasters.

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as
interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group's income or
the value of its holdings of available for sale assets. The
objective of market risk management is to manage and control market
risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the
return.
Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign
exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily
with respect to the US dollar, AU dollar, TT Dollar, British pound
and Chinese Renminbi. Foreign exchange risk arises from future
commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities
denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional
currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash
flow forecasting.
The Group's treasury risk management policy is to closely
monitor exchange rate fluctuations. To date, the Group has not
sought to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates,
however this policy will be reviewed on an ongoing basis.
The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting
date was as follows:

Sensitivity
Based upon the amounts above, had the US dollar strengthened by
10% with all other variables held constant, there would not have
been a material impact on the profit and equity of the Group. A 10%
weakening of the US dollar against the above currencies at 30 June
would have had an equal but opposite effect, on the basis that all
other variables remain constant.
Interest rate risk
There is no material interest rate risk exposure in the
Group.
Fair values versus carrying amounts
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities, together
with the carrying amounts shown in the statement of financial
position, are as follows:

Other price risks
The Group is not exposed to any other price risks.
Capital management
The entity's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard
its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue
to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal
capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The Group is working on identifying new projects in the energy
and resources spectrum.
The capital structure of the group consists of cash and cash
equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the
Company, comprising issued capital, reserves and accumulated losses
as disclosed in Notes 18 and 19 respectively. None of the entities
within the group are subject to externally imposed capital
requirements.
Gearing ratio
The Board reviews the capital structure on an annual basis. As a
part of this review the Board considers the cost of capital and the
risks associated with each class of capital.

(a) Fair value hierarchy
AASB 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level
of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
(a) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities (level 1),
(b) Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that
are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly (level 2), and
(c) Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on
observable market data (unobservable inputs (level 3).
The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers
out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the end of the
reporting period. There were no transfers between the levels of the
fair value hierarchy during the year ended 30 June 2021.
(b) Fair values of other financial instruments
The Group has financial instruments which are measured at
amortised cost in the consolidated statement of financial
position.
Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts of the
current receivables, current payables, current borrowings, and
current other financial liabilities is assumed to approximate their
fair value.

Chairman
October 2022
Independent Audit Report to the Members of Star Phoenix Group
Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Star Phoenix Group
Ltd and Controlled Entities (the company and its controlled
entities (the Group)), which comprises the consolidated
statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity
and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year
then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including
a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors'
declaration.
We do not express an opinion on the accompanying financial
report of the Group. Because of the significance of the
matters described in the Basis for disclaimer of opinion
section of our report, we have not been able to obtain
sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis
for an audit opinion on this financial report.
Basis for disclaimer of opinion
We have been unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit
evidence on the books and records of the consolidated entity.
Specifically, we have been unable to satisfy ourselves
on the following areas:
i. As disclosed in Note 5 of the financial statements,
the Group's current assets as at 30 June 2022 include an
amount classified as assets held for sale. During the year
ended 30 June 2022, there has been a continued deterioration
in the operating and economic performance of the Group,
which created an impairment indicator of the assets included
in this amount on 30 June 2021. The Directors have undertaken
an impairment assessment as at 30 June 2021and 30 June
2022 and have estimated the recoverable amount of these
assets based on sales price achieved for four specific
rigs. This resulted in an impairment expense being recognised
in the prior year.
The valuation methodology used to arrive at the recoverable
amount was not in accordance with the requirements of Australian
Accounting Standards, and we were unable to perform alternative
procedures to determine whether any adjustments to the
carrying value of the property plant and equipment, rigs
and related inventory included in assets held for sale
as at 30 June 2022 were necessary.
The previous audit report opinion for the year ended 30
June 2020 and 30 June 2021 was also modified with respect
to this matter.
ii. As disclosed in note 15 of the financial statements,
the Group's current liabilities as at 30 June 2022 includes
an amount in respect of withholding tax liabilities due
on overseas interest payments from loans which were settled
in the financial year ended 30 June 2020. During the current
year, management undertook a review of the withholding
tax amounts and as at the date of this report this reassessment
is completed but lodgement has not been made to the Australia
Taxation Office.
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information.
The other information comprises the information included
in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June
2022, but does not include the financial report and our
auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial
report does not cover the other information and accordingly
we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our
responsibility is to read the other information and, in
doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we
conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation
of the financial report that gives a true and fair view
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and
the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control
as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation
of the financial report that gives a true and fair view
and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the
directors are responsible for assessing the ability of
the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as
applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors
either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations,
or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Report
Our responsibility is to conduct an audit of the financial
report in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards
and to issue an auditor's report. However, because of the
matter described in the Basis for disclaimer of opinion
section of our report, we were not able to obtain sufficient
appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit
opinion on the financial report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the
Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES
110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including
Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to
our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have
also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with the Code.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages
10 to 16 of the directors' report for the year ended 30
June 2022.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Star Phoenix
Group Ltd, for the year ended 30 June 2022, complies with
section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation
and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance
with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based
on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing
Standards.
