Mr David Reeves	Non-Executive Chairman	Appointed 6 March 2014
Mr Keith Coughlan	Managing Director	Appointed 6 September 2013
Dr Pavel Reichl	Non-Executive Director	Appointed 6 March 2014
Mr Kiran Morzaria	Non-Executive Director	Appointed 10 December 2015

Company Secretary

The following person held the position of Company Secretary at the end of the financial year:

Ms Julia Beckett holds a Certificate in Governance Practice and Administration and is a Certificated Member of Chartered Secretaries Australia.  Julia is a Corporate Governance professional, having worked in corporate administration and compliance for the past 8 years.  She has been involved in business acquisitions, mergers, initial public offerings, capital raisings as well as statutory and financial reporting.  Julia is also Joint Company Secretary of Ensurance Limited. 

Principal Activities

The Company is primarily involved in the development of a lithium and tin project in the Czech Republic.

Review of Operations

The 2016 Financial Year has been one of significant growth and development for the Company.

Corporate

·      The Company's securities were admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange AIM Market ("AIM") on 10 December 2015.

·      Mr Kiran Morzaria joined the Board of the Company as a Non-Executive Director.  Mr Morzaria is the CEO of AIM listed Rare Earth Minerals and a Non-Executive Director of AIM and TSX listed Bacanora Minerals.

·      Mr Pavel Reichl stepped away from an Executive Director role with the Company on 31 August 2015 and remains as a Non-Executive Director.

Project Development

·      A bulk sample of 1.5 tonnes was collected and processed in Germany resulting in approximately 420kg of high grade lithium concentrate being produced and shipped to Australia. The concentrate has been used for testing various available technologies for the production of lithium carbonate. The bulk of the concentrate will be used for a bench scale continuous feed mini plant test.

·      The Company embarked on a 5,000 m drill program in September 2015 which ran through into the New Year. The drill program was planned to target the area outlined in the Company's positive Scoping Study concluded earlier in the year. The aims of the drill program were to convert a significant portion of the lithium and tin inferred resource used in the Scoping Study to the indicated category, and to provide additional material for further test work.

·      The Company is very pleased with the results of the drill program as they reinforce the extent and consistency of the lithium and tin mineralisation at Cinovec. The results of the drilling included intercepts of up to 194m width with higher grade intervals.

·      The Company completed a detailed geological model which has identified shallow, higher grade lithium zones. This geological model will be used, along with recent drill results to update the current mineral resource model and allow the company to investigate targeting these areas in the early years of development.  This is likely to allow for the conversion of a greater part of the Cinovec resource from Inferred to Indicated category under JORC guidelines, and for initial mine planning and scheduling as the Company progresses the project along the development curve.

·      On 31 March 2016, the Company withdrew from the non-binding memorandum of understanding ("MOU") with Lithium Australia in relation to the Cinovec project due to failure to reach satisfactory commercial terms for the joint venture anticipated to be the outcome of the MOU.

·      A Scoping Study conducted by specialist independent consultants indicates the deposit could be amenable to bulk underground mining. Metallurgical testwork has produced both battery grade lithium carbonate and high grade tin concentrate at excellent recoveries with the Scoping Study revealing a potential production cost of approximately $1,500 per tonne of lithium carbonate excluding tin and tungsten credits. Cinovec is centrally located for European end-users and is well serviced by infrastructure, with a sealed road adjacent to the deposit, rail lines located 5 km north and 8 km south of the deposit and an active 22 kV transmission line running to the historic mine. As the deposit lies in an active mining region, it has strong community support.

·      On 2 May 2016, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Lepidico Limited for its proprietary L-Max technology. Lepidico has granted the Company an option to acquire a licence to use the L-Max technology for the Cinovec project in Czech Republic for consideration of $20,000 in cash. The option will be valid for 12 months, and can be renewed for a further 12 months by payment of an additional option fee of $25,000. The material terms of the option agreement with Lepidico are: ·        Payment of a license option fee of $20,000; ·        The term of the option is 12 months, which may be extended for a further 12 months by the payment of an additional option fee of $25,000; ·        Upon exercise of option, the Company must make an additional payment of $30,000 plus the issuance of 890,215 CDI's in EMH; and ·        Under the licensing agreement, the Company is required to pay Lepidico a gross product royalty of 2% of all sales relating to lithium chemicals (and other by products) produced using the L-Max® technology.

·      In early June 2016 the Company commenced a new drill programme targeting the higher grade, shallower lithium zones in the north and west of the Cinovec deposit. This is a 7,500 metre programme that is aimed at converting a significant portion of the currently inferred resource for lithium and tin into the indicated category. The programme will also provide significant material for further metallurgical test work.

Results of Operations

The consolidated loss for year ended 30 June 2016 amounted to $1,591,637 (2015 loss: $666,872).

Financial Position

The net assets of the Group have increased by $3,813,667 to $7,958,489 at 30 June 2016.

Significant Changes in the State of Affairs

The following significant changes in the state of affairs of the parent entity occurred during the financial year:

·      On 13 August 2015, the Company issued 9,410,578 CDI at an issue price of $0.08 per CDI to raise $752,846. The tranche 2 placement was approved by the shareholders at the General Meeting held on 31 July 2015. ·      On 17 August 2015, the Company issued 496,725 CDI in lieu of payment of outstanding 2015 director and consultancy fees amounting to $30,000 and 3,750,000 options exercisable at 16.6 cents on or before 17 August 2020 which approved by the shareholders at the General Meeting held on 31 July 2015. ·      The Company issued 2,000,000 options exercisable at 20 cents on or before 19 October 2016.

·      On 19 October 2015, the Company issued 2,00,000 CDI at an issue price of $0.18 per CDI to raise $360,000 and ·      On 18 March 2016, the Company issued 13 million CDI at an issue price of $0.135 per CDI to raise $1,755,000 and 1 million warrants in consideration for Beaumont Cornish acting as Nominated advisor. The placement has been made to sophisticated investors and will be used to further develop Company's 100% owned Cinovec Lithium and Tin Project in the Czech Republic. ·      From 20 April 2016 to 30 June 2016, 21,365,364 listed options which expired on 30 June 2016 were exercised and the Company received a total of $2,136,536. These funds will be utilized to assist with the completion of the pre-feasibility study on the Cinovec lithium/tin deposit.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each Director of the Company, and Key Management Personnel. The directors are pleased to present the remuneration report which sets out the remuneration information for European Metals Holdings Limited's non-executive directors, executive directors and other key management personnel.

A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 

The remuneration policy of the Group has been designed to align Director and management 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 financial results. The Board of the Company believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best management and Directors to run and manage the Group, as well as create goal congruence 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 Group is as follows:

The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the Executive Directors and other Senior Executives, was developed by the Board. All Executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, options and performance incentives. The Board reviews Executive packages annually by reference to the Group's performance, executive performance, and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements.

All remuneration paid to Directors and Executives is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed. 

The Board policy is to remunerate Non-executive Directors at commercial market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment, and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the Non-executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually based on market practice, duties, and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for Non- Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align Directors' interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold CDIs in the Company.

The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase the direct positive relationship between shareholders' investment objectives and Directors' and Executives' performance. Currently, this is facilitated through the issue of options to the majority of Directors and Executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes this policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth. For details of Directors' and Executives' interests in CDIs, options and performance shares at year end, refer to the remuneration report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

NOTE 1 : SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)

Basis of preparation

These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of European Metals Holdings Limited ("the Company") and Controlled Entities (the "Consolidated Group" or "Group"). The separate financial statements of the parent entity, European Metals Holdings Limited, have not been presented within this financial report as is permitted by Corporations Act 2001. The financial statements are general purpose financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Boards (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. The accounting policies detailed below have been adopted in the preparation of the financial report. Except for cash flow information, the nted unless otherwise stated.  retations and complies with other requirements of the law. financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical cost, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair values of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. The Group is a listed public company, incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and registered in Australia.

(i)

Accounting policies

The Group has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in the financial statements. The Group has considered the implications of new and amended Accounting Standards applicable for annual reporting periods beginning after 1 January 2015 but determined that their application to the financial statements is either not relevant or not material.

(ii)

Statement of Compliance

The financial report was authorised for issue on 30 September 2016. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in the financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB.

(iii)

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.  Share-based payment transactions The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale. Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.

Recognition of deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses have not been recognised as the Directors are of the opinion that it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax assets can be utilised.

(b)

Income Tax

Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date.  Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. 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 also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available.  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 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. Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

(c)

Impairment of assets

At the end of each reporting period the Group assesses whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

(c)

Impairment of assets

An assessment is also made at each reporting period as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

(d)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position.

(e)

Revenue

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

(f)

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 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.

(g)

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. Impairment of trade receivables is continually reviewed and those that are considered to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly.  An allowance account is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms. Factors considered by the Group in making this determination include known significant financial difficulties of the debtor, review of financial information and significant delinquency in making contractual payments to the Group. The impairment allowance is set equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the receivable and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Where receivables are short-term discounting is not applied in determining the allowance. The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the profit and loss.

(h)

Finance Income and Finance Costs

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested (including available-for-sale financial assets), dividend income, gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and gains on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.

(i)

Government Grants

An unconditional government grant is recognised in profit or loss as other income when the grant becomes receivable. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss as other income on a systematic basis in the same period in which the expenses are recognised. Research and development tax incentives are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when received or when the amount to be received can be reliably estimated.

(j)

Employee Benefits

Short-term benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Other long-term employee benefits

Provision is made for the liability due to employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the reporting date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year together with benefits arising out of wages and salaries, sick leave and annual leave which will be settled after one year, have been measured at their nominal amount. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Contributions made to defined employee superannuation funds are charged as expenses when incurred.

(k)

Exploration and Evaluation Assets

Exploration and evaluation costs, including costs of acquiring licenses, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs of acquiring licences which are pending the approval of the relevant regulatory authorities as at the date of reporting are capitalised as exploration and evaluation cost if in the opinion of the Directors it is virtually certain the Group will be granted the licences. Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of tenure to the area of interest are current and either: (a)   The expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or (b)   Activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when: (i)    Sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii)   Facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount (see impairment accounting policy in Note 1(c). For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from intangible assets to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment.

(l)

Financial Instruments

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention. Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

Financial assets are classified at "fair value through profit or loss" when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when the are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a Group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying amount being included in profit or loss.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.  Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs.  Subsequent to initial recognition loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other loans and receivables are classified as non-current assets.

Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments and it is the Group's intention to hold these investments to maturity.  Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs.  They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses. Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other investments are classified as current assets. If during the period the Group sold or reclassified more than an insignificant amount of the held-to-maturity investments before maturity, the entire held-to-maturity investments category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses on available-for-sale monetary items, are recognised as a separate component of equity.  When an investment is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss in equity is transferred to profit and loss. Available-for-sale financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other available-for-sale financial assets are classified as current assets.

Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs.  Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm's length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to cash flow expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset.  Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired.  The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

(m)

Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial period that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.  Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months.

(n)

Earnings Per CDI

Basic earnings per CDI

Basic earnings per CDI is determined by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, by the weighted average number of CDIs outstanding during the period, adjusted for bonus elements in CDIs issued during the period.

Diluted earnings per CDI

Diluted earnings per CDI adjusts the figure used in the determination of basic earnings per CDI to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financial costs associated with dilutive potential CDIs and the weighted average number of CDIs assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential CDIs, which comprise convertible notes and CDI options granted.

(o)

Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.

(p)

Provisions

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.  Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

(q)

Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group's other components. Operating segments' results are reviewed by the Group's Managing Director to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

(r)

CDI based payments

The grant date fair value of CDI-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that do not meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For CDI-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the CDI-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

(s)

Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and presentation currency The functional currency of each of the Group's entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity's functional and presentation currency. Transaction and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into 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, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. 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 other comprehensive income; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in Profit or Loss. Group companies The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group's presentation currency are translated as follows: -  Assets and liabilities are translated at year end exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; -  Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and -  Retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations recognised in the other comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency translation reserve in the Statement of Financial Position. These differences are reclassified into Profit or Loss in the period in which the operation is disposed.

(t)

Issued capital

CDIs are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new CDIs or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new CDIs or options for the acquisition of a new business are not included in the cost of acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

(u)

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent European Metals Holdings Limited and all of the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent 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. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 20. The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group. Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as "non-controlling interests". The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income.

NOTE 2: DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES

A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

CDI-based payment transactions

The fair value of the employee CDI options and the share appreciation right is measured using the Black-Scholes formula. Measurement inputs include CDI price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value.

The Group is in a loss making position and it is unlikely that the conversion to, calling of, or subscription for, CDI capital in respect of potential CDIs would lead to diluted earnings per CDI that shows an inferior view of the earnings per CDI. For this reason, the diluted losses per CDI for the year ended 30 June 2016 are the same as basic loss per CDI.

CDIs entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of shares held. On a show of hands every holder of a CDI present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and in a poll each share is entitled to one vote.

European Metals Holdings limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with an authorised  share capital, 200,000,000 no par value shares of a single class. Pursuant to the prospectus dated 26 April 2012, the company

issued CDIs in July 2012. The holder of the CDIs has beneficial ownership in the underlying shares instead of legal title. Legal title and the underlying shares is held by Chess Depository Nominees Pty Ltd.

Holders of CDIs have the same entitlement benefits of holding the underlying shares. Each Share in the Company confers upon the Shareholder:

1.       the right to one vote at a meeting of the Shareholders of the Company or on any Resolution of Shareholders;

2.       the right to an equal share in any dividend paid by the Company; and

3.       the right to an equal share in the distribution of the surplus assets of the Company on its liquidation.

The terms of the B Class Performance Shares are as follows

(e) Capital risk management

The Group's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

The capital structure of the Group consists of equity comprising issued capital, reserves and accumulated losses.

Due to the nature of the Group's activities, being mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group's capital risk management is to maintain sufficient current working capital position to meet the requirements of the Group to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Group's strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.

The working capital position of the Group at 30 June is as follows:

	2016	2015

NOTE 18: OPERATING SEGMENTS

The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments are in accordance with the measurement principles of Australian Accounting Standards.

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are provided to the Board of Directors. According to AASB 8 Operating Segments, two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment if the segments have similar economic characteristics, and the segments are similar in each of the following respects:

•              The nature of the products and services;

•              The nature of the production processes;

•              The type or class of customer for their products and services;

•              The methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and

•              If applicable, the nature of the regulatory environment, for example; banking, insurance and public utilities.

The Group currently has one project which takes into account each of the above mentioned aspects. The principal activity for the project is exploration of tin and base metals. The project is likely to have the same methods to distribute the resources in future and the nature of the regulatory environment which is the Czech Republic. This is expected to be the same for future projects. Accordingly, management has identified one operating segment based on the location of the projects, that being the Czech Republic.

NOTE 19: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, equity instruments and accounts receivable and payable.

The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for Group's operations. The Group does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments.

The Group holds the following financial instruments:

		2016 $	2015 $
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents		3,134,661	889,208
Other receivables		94,591	28,703
Total financial assets		3,229,252	917,911
Trade and other payables		293,890	201,536
Other liabilities		-	23,291
Total financial liabilities		293,890	224,827

The fair value of the Group's financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying value.

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk.

(i)            Market risk

The Board meets on a regular basis to analyse currency and interest rate exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts.

Interest rate risk

Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. The Group is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments.

Interest rate risk is not material to the Group as no interest bearing debt arrangements have been entered into.

Price risk

Price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Group is not exposed to securities price risk as it does not hold any investments.

Foreign exchange risk

Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Group holds financial instruments which are other than the AUD functional currency of the Group.

With instruments being held by overseas operations, fluctuations in foreign currencies may impact on the Group's financial results.  The Group's exposure to foreign exchange risk is monitored by the Board. The majority of the Group's funds are held in Australian dollars, British Stirling and Czech Koruna. The Group previously held small sums of money in the subsidiary bank account in Congolese Franc.

At 30 June 2016, the group has financial assets and liabilities denominated in the foreign currencies detailed below:

Geomet S.R.O                      

	2016			2015
	Amount in CZK	Amount in GBP	Amount in AUD	Amount in CZK	Amount in GBP	Amount in AUD
Cash and cash equivalents	-	-	-	-	-	-
Intercompany payables	-	31,000	1,112,243	-	31,000	383,826
	-	31,000	1,112,243	-	31,000	383,826
5% effect in foreign exchange rates	-	1,550	55,612	-	1,550	19,191

There were no financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies for EMH UK and the Company.

(ii)           Credit risk

Credit exposure represents the extent of credit related losses that the Group may be subject to on amounts to be received from financial assets. Credit risk arises principally from trade and other receivables. The objective of the Group is to minimise the risk of loss from credit risk. Although revenue from operations is minimal, the Group trades only with creditworthy third parties. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad debts is insignificant. The Group's maximum credit risk exposure is limited to the carrying value of its financial assets as indicated on the Statement of Financial Position and notes to the financial statements.

The credit quality of the financial assets was high during the year.  The table below details the credit quality of the financial assets at the end of the year:

		2016	2015
Financial assets	Credit Quality	$	$
Cash and cash equivalents held at BGFI Bank	High	-	-
Cash and cash equivalents held at Komercni Bank	High	365,399	984
Cash and cash equivalents held at Westpac Bank
·      Interest-bearing deposit	High	2,769,262	888,224
Other receivables and deposits	High	94,591	28,703
		3,229,252	917,911

Impairment losses

$56 amount due from other debtor was past due and impaired for during the year.

(iii)          Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The objective of the Group is to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet commitments under normal and stressed conditions.

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Due to the lack of material revenue, the Group aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by maintaining adequate reserves of liquidity.

The Group did not have access to any undrawn borrowing facilities at the reporting date.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting arrangements.

As at 30 June 2016	Carrying Amount $	Contractual Cash flows $	<3 months $	3-6 months $	6-24 months $
Trade and other payables	293,890	293,890	293,890	-	-
Loan payable to external party	-	-	-	-	-
	293,890	293,890	293,890	-	-

As at 30 June 2015	Carrying Amount $	Contractual Cash flows $	<3 months $	3-6 months $	6-24 months $
Trade and other payables	201,536	201,536	201,536	-	-
Loan payable to external party	23,291	23,291	-	-	23,291
	224,827	224,827	201,536	-	23,291

(iv)          Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

From time to time the Group has significant interest bearing assets, but they are as a result of the timing of equity raising and capital expenditure rather than a reliance on interest income. The interest rate risk arises on the rise and fall of interest rates. The Group's income and operating cash flows are not expected to be materially exposed to changes in market interest rates in the future and the exposure to interest rates is limited to the cash and cash equivalents balances. 

The Group's exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument's value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities:

	Floating Interest    Rate	Non-interest bearing	2016 Total	Floating Interest    Rate	Non-interest bearing	2015 Total
	$	$	$	$	$	$
Financial assets
- Within one year
Cash and cash equivalents	3,134,661	-	3,134,661	889,208	-	889,208
Other receivables	-	94,591	94,591		28,703	28,703
Total financial assets	3,134,661	94,591	3,229,252	889,208	28,703	917,911
Weighted average interest rate	1.12%			1.62%
Financial Liabilities
- Within one year
Trade and other Payables	-	293,890	293,890	-	201,536	201,536
Borrowings	-	-	-	-	23,291	23,291
Total financial liabilities	-	293,890	293,890	-	224,827	224,827
Net financial assets/ (liabilities)	3,134,661	(199,299)	2,935,362	889,208	(196,124)	693,084

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

A change of 100 basis points in the interest rates at the reporting date would have increased or decreased the Group's equity and profit or loss by $31,347 (2015: $8,892).

(v)           Net fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The net fair value of cash and cash equivalents and non-interest bearing monetary assets and financial liabilities approximates their carrying values.

NOTE 26:  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODS

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the AASB which are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early.

·              AASB 9 Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable for annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2018)

The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the comment on hedge accounting below) and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, revised recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments and simplified requirements for hedge accounting.

Key changes made to this standard that may affect the Group on initial application include certain simplifications to the classification of financial assets, simplifications to the accounting of embedded derivatives, and the irrevocable election to recognise gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income.

The directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 will not have a material impact on the Group's financial instruments.

·              AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018).

When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to revenue with a single, principles-based model. Except for a limited number of exceptions, including leases, the new revenue model in AASB 15 will apply to all contracts with customers as well as non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers and potential customers.

The core principle of the Standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve this objective, AASB 15 provides the following five-step process:

- identify the contract(s) with a customer;

- identify the performance obligations in the contract(s);

- determine the transaction price;

- allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and

- recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied.

This Standard will require retrospective restatement, as well as enhanced disclosures regarding revenue.

The directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 15 will not have a material impact on the Group's revenue recognition and disclosures.

·           AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019).

AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases for the lessee effectively treating all leases as finance leases. Short term leases (less than 12 months) and leases of a low value are exempt from the lease accounting requirements. Lessor accounting remains similar to current practice.

The directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 15 will not have a material impact on the Group's recognition of leases and disclosures.

·              AASB 2014-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations [AASB 1 & AASB 11]

AASB 2014-3 amends AASB 11 Joint Arrangements to provide guidance on the accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations in which the activity constitutes a business. The amendments require:

(a)           the acquirer of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business, as defined in AASB 3 Business Combinations, to apply all of the principles on business combinations accounting in AASB 3 and other Australian Accounting Standards except for those principles that conflict with the guidance in AASB 11

(b)           the acquirer to disclose the information required by AASB 3 and other Australian Accounting Standards for business combinations.

This Standard also makes an editorial correction to AASB 11.

The directors anticipate that the adoption of these amendments will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

·              AASB 2014-9: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements (AASB 2014-9 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. Early adoption permitted).

AASB 2014-9 amends AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements, and consequentially amends AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, to allow entities to use the equity method of accounting for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements.  AASB 2014-9 also makes editorial corrections to AASB 127.

The directors anticipate that the adoption of these amendments will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

·           Other standards not yet applicable

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
