Right of Use Assets<br />

The Company leases office space in West Perth, Western Australia, under a non-cancellable lease<br />

which expires on 30 September 2023 and has an option to extend for a further 3 years. The lease<br />

agreement does not impose any covenants.<br />

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities<br />

include the net present value of the following lease payments:<br />

• Fixed payments (including in- substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;<br />

• Variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the<br />

index or rate as at the commencement date;<br />

• Amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees;<br />

• The exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that<br />

option; and<br />

• Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the group exercising<br />

that option.<br />

Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the<br />

measurement of the liability.<br />

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be<br />

readily determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual<br />

lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the rightof-use<br />

asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.<br />

To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group:<br />

• Where possible, uses recent third-party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting<br />

point, adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since third party financing was<br />

received<br />

• Uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for<br />

leases held by the Company, which does not have recent third-party financing, and<br />

• Makes adjustments specific to the lease, eg; term, country, currency and security.<br />

The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or<br />

rate, which is not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease<br />
