NORTHERN MINERALS LIMITED<br />
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />
In early 2019, the Company lodged a formal appeal with AusIndustry regarding its initial decision that<br />
the Company’s activities were ‘ineligible R&D claims’ for the FY17 and FY18 periods. On 24 February<br />
<strong>2020</strong> the Company was advised that AusIndustry had completed a review of its initial decision and<br />
subsequently found that most of the Company’s R&D activities for these periods were in fact eligible.<br />
In August <strong>2020</strong>, the Company announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the ATO that<br />
settled all matters relating to the FY17 and FY18 R&D tax offset claims. The settlement agreement also<br />
documented the agreed refundable R&D offset claim for the FY19 as well as a framework for reviewing<br />
the Company’s refundable R&D offset claim for FY20.<br />
In the FY20, the Company has recognised the R&D rebate attributable to the FY17 to FY19 periods in<br />
addition to accruing the expected R&D offset claim for FY20 as described above.<br />

Interest income<br />
Interest income is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method<br />
of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant<br />
period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash<br />
receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.<br />
For credit impaired financial assets, the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of<br />
the financial asset (after deduction of the loss allowance).<br />
Interest income on financial assets at amortised cost is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as<br />
other income.<br />
Capitalised borrowing costs<br />
Borrowing costs capitalised include costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition and construction<br />
of the Browns Range Pilot Plant Project. The rate used is the actual borrowing costs eligible for<br />
capitalisation.<br />
