The above reconciliation is prepared by aggregating separate reconciliations for each national jurisdiction.
The Australia, Singapore and Mongolia corporate tax rates were 30% (2014: 30%), 17% (2014: 17%) and 25% (2014:
25%) respectively for the year ended 30 June 2015.
b) Accumulated tax losses
The Group had accumulated tax losses as at 30 June 2015 of $60,804,814 and $12,053,482 for Australia and Mongolia respectively (2014: Australia - $51,877,165 and Mongolia - $10,916,312). No net deferred tax asset has been recognised on the basis that utilisation of tax losses is not currently considered probable.
The taxation losses will be realisable only if:
i. the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the losses and deductions to be realised;
ii. the Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and
iii. no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.
Note 7 Operating Segments Identification of reportable segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision-makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.
The Group is managed primarily on the basis of product category and service offerings as the diversification of the Group's operations inherently have notably different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.
Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments, where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics and are also similar with respect to the following:
! the products sold and/or services provided by the segment;
! the geographical location of the segment; and
! any external regulatory requirements.
Performance is measured based on segment profit before income tax, as included in the internal financial reports.
Types of products and services by reportable segment
The principal products and services of each of these operating segments are as follows:
Segment Activities
Australia Coal exploration and development activities within Australia.
Mongolia Coal exploration and extraction activities within Mongolia including the transition from developer to producer
Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments a) Accounting policies adopted
All amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief operating decision-makers with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.
A number of inter-segment transactions, receivables, payables or loans occurred during the period, or existed at balance date. In addition, corporate re-charges were allocated to the reporting segments.
b) Segment assets
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of economic value from the asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.
c) Segment liabilities
Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables, and certain direct borrowings.

f) Cash flow information
The following table details the Group's trade and other receivables exposure to credit risk (prior to collateral and other credit enhancements) with ageing analysis and impairment provided for. Amounts are considered as 'past due' when the debt has not been settled, within the terms and conditions agreed between the Group and the customer or counter party to the transaction. Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of the debtors and are provided for where there is objective evidence indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid to the Group.
At 30 June 2015, the ageing analysis of receivables is as follows:
Gross Group does not hold any financial assets with terms that have been renegotiated, but which would otherwise be past due or impaired.
