Review of Operations
Arapua Fertiliser Project
During the half-year ended 30 June 2022, Harvest sold 35,014
tonnes of its KP Fértil(R), representing a 108.3% increase over the
16,812 tonnes sold in the same period of 2021, and despite the
continuing challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company
is maintaining its 2022 year-end sales target of 150,000 tonnes of
KP Fértil(R).
The Company's team includes 12 associates/agronomists split into
two regional teams, which is supported by its third-party network
comprising 20 resales' centres. The Company continues to build on
its marketing campaign to offer its product for coffee, sugarcane,
and other crops, and boosted the Company's efforts towards the new
marketing channels opened since it added the higher margin 25kg bag
option that targets small to medium sized farmers and resellers.
The Company has also started to actively market its KP Fértil(R) in
other regions beyond its immediate market in Minas Gerais and Sao
Paulo.
In terms of market fundamentals, the performance of the
Brazilian agriculture sector continued to be robust over the
half-year and several sector associations forecast double digit
growth in most of the crops targeted by Harvest.
Sergi Potash Project & Mandacaru Phosphate Project
Given the scale of activity currently being undertaken at
Arapua, the Company did not materially advance either of its Sergi
Potash Project or its Mandacaru Phosphate Project during the
half-year to 30 June 2022.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for the half-year ended 30 June 2022
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Corporate Information
This general purpose half-year financial report of Harvest
Minerals Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group")
for the half-year ended 30 June 2022 was authorised for issue in
accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 29 September
2022.
Harvest Minerals Limited is a company limited by shares
incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the
AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the
Group are described in the Directors' Report.
Basis of Preparation
This financial report for the half-year ended 30 June 2022 has
been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001, applicable accounting standards including
AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting, Accounting Interpretations
and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting
Standards Board ("AASB"). Compliance with AASB 134 ensures
compliance with IAS 134 "Interim Financial Reporting". The Group is
a for profit entity for financial reporting purposes under
Australian Accounting Standards.
These half-year financial statements do not include all notes of
the type normally included within the annual financial statements
and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an
understanding of the financial performance, financial position and
financing and investing activities of the group as the full
financial statements.
It is recommended that the half-year financial statements be
read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31
December 2021 and considered together with any public announcements
made by Harvest Minerals Limited during the half-year ended 30 June
2022 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of
the AIM market.
For the purpose of preparing the interim report, the half-year
has been treated as a discrete reporting period. The accounting
policies and methods of computation adopted are consistent with
those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim
reporting period. These accounting policies are consistent with
Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial
Reporting Standards.
New and amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations
In the half-year ended 30 June 2022, the Directors have reviewed
all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by
the AASB that are relevant to the Group's operations and effective
for current reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022.
The Directors have also reviewed all new Standards and
Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for
the half-year ended 30 June 2022. As a result of this review the
Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or
otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on
the Group's business and, therefore, no change is necessary to the
Group accounting policies.
New and amended accounting standards and interpretations have
been published but are not mandatory. The Group has decided against
early adoptions of these standards, and has determined the
potential impact on the financial statements from the adoption of
these standards and interpretations is not material to the
Group.
Significant Accounting Policies
Deferred Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by or on behalf
of the Group is accumulated separately for each area of interest.
Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and an appropriate
portion of related overhead expenditure but does not include
general overheads or administrative expenditure not having a
specific nexus with a particular area of interest.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for the half-year ended 30 June 2022
Each area of interest is limited to a size related to a known or
probable mineral resource capable of supporting a mining operation.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure for each area of interest is
carried forward as an asset provided that one of the following
conditions is met:
-- such costs are expected to be recouped through successful
development and exploitation of the area of interest or,
alternatively, by its sale; or
-- exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest
have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment
of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves,
and active and significant operations in relation to the area are
continuing.
Expenditure which fails to meet the conditions outlined above is
written off. Furthermore, the directors regularly review the
carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure and make
write downs if the values are not expected to be recoverable.
Identifiable exploration assets acquired are recognised as
assets at their cost of acquisition, as determined by the
requirements of AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral
Resources. Exploration assets acquired are reassessed on a regular
basis and these costs are carried forward provided that at least
one of the conditions referred to in AASB 6 is met.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred subsequent to
acquisition in respect of an exploration asset acquired is
accounted for in accordance with the policy outlined above for
exploration expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the entity.
Acquired exploration assets are not written down below
acquisition cost until such time as the acquisition cost is not
expected to be recovered. When an area of interest is abandoned,
any expenditure carried forward in respect of that area is written
off. Expenditure is not carried forward in respect of any area of
interest/mineral resource unless the Group's rights of tenure to
that area of interest are current.
Mine Properties
Mine properties represent the accumulation of all exploration,
evaluation and development expenditure incurred in respect of areas
of interest in which mining has commenced or is in the process of
commencing. When further development expenditure is incurred in
respect of mine property after the commencement of production, such
expenditure is carried forward as part of the mine property only
when substantial future economic benefits are thereby established,
otherwise such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of
production.
Amortisation is provided on a unit of production basis which
results in a write off of the cost proportional to the depletion of
the proven and probable mineral reserves.
The net carrying value of each area of interest is reviewed
regularly and to the extent to which this value exceeds its
recoverable amount, the excess is either fully provided against or
written off in the financial year in which this is determined.
The Group provides for environmental restoration and
rehabilitation at site which includes any costs to dismantle and
remove certain items of plant and equipment. The cost of an item
includes the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and
removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located,
the obligation for which an entity incurs when an item is acquired
or as a consequence of having used the item during that period.
This asset is depreciated on the basis of the current estimate of
the useful life of the asset. In accordance with AASB 137
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets the Group
is also required to recognise as a provision the best estimate of
the present value of expenditure required to settle this
obligation. The present value of estimated future cash flows is
measured using a current market discount rate.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for the half-year ended 30 June 2022
Stripping costs
Costs associated with material stripping activity, which is the
process of removing mine waste materials to gain access to the
mineral deposits underneath, during the production phase of surface
mining are accounted for as either inventory or a non-current asset
(non-current asset is also referred to as a 'stripping activity
asset').
To the extent that the benefit from the stripping activity is
realised in the form of inventory produced, the Group accounts for
the costs of that stripping activity in accordance with the
principles of AASB 102 Inventories. To the extent the benefit is
improved access to ore, the Group recognises these costs as a
non-current asset provided that:
-- it is probable that the future economic benefit (improved
access to the ore body) associated with the stripping activity will
flow to the Group;
-- the Group can identify the component of the ore body for
which access has been improved; and
-- the costs relating to the stripping activity associated with
that component can be measured reliably.
Stripping activity assets are initially measured at cost, being
the accumulation of costs directly incurred to perform the
stripping activity that improves access to the identified component
of ore plus an allocation of directly attributable overhead costs.
In addition, stripping activity assets are accounted for as an
addition to, or as an enhancement to, an existing asset.
Accordingly, the nature of the existing asset determines:
-- whether the Group classifies the stripping activity asset as tangible or intangible; and
-- the basis on which the stripping activity asset is measured
subsequent to initial recognition
In circumstances where the costs of the stripping activity asset
and the inventory produced are not separately identifiable, the
Group allocates the production stripping costs between the
inventory produced and the stripping activity asset by using an
allocation basis that is based on volume of waste extracted
compared with expected volume, for a given volume of ore
production.
Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of
transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at
amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of
transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in
profit or loss over the period of the borrowing using the effective
interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities
are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that
it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down.
In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To
the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or
all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a
prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of
the facility to which it relates.
Revenue
Revenue arises mainly from the sale of fertiliser. The Group
generates revenue in Brazil. To determine whether to recognise
revenue, the Group follows a 5-step process:
1. Identifying the contract with a customer
2. Identifying the performance obligations
3. Determining the transaction price
4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations
5. Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.
The revenue and profits recognised in any period are based on
the delivery of performance obligations and an assessment of when
control is transferred to the customer.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for the half-year ended 30 June 2022
In determining the amount of revenue and profits to record, and
related statement of financial position items (such as contract
fulfilment assets, capitalisation of costs to obtain a contract,
trade receivables, accrued income and deferred income) to recognise
in the period, management is required to form a number of key
judgements and assumptions. This includes an assessment of the
costs the Group incurs to deliver the contractual commitments and
whether such costs should be expensed as incurred or
capitalised.
Revenue is recognised either when the performance obligation in
the contract has been performed, so 'point in time' recognition or
'over time' as control of the performance obligation is transferred
to the customer. For contracts with multiple components to be
delivered such as fertiliser, management applies judgement to
consider whether those promised goods and services are (i) distinct
- to be accounted for as separate performance obligations; (ii) not
distinct - to be combined with other promised goods or services
until a bundle is identified that is distinct or (iii) part of a
series of distinct goods and services that are substantially the
same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.
Transaction price
At contract inception the total transaction price is estimated,
being the amount to which the Group expects to be entitled and has
rights to under the present contract. The transaction price does
not include estimates of consideration resulting from change orders
for additional goods and services unless these are agreed. Once the
total transaction price is determined, the Group allocates this to
the identified performance obligations in proportion to their
relative stand-alone selling prices and recognises revenue when (or
as) those performance obligations are satisfied.
For each performance obligation, the Group determines if revenue
will be recognised over time or at a point in time. Where the Group
recognises revenue over time for long term contracts, this is in
general due to the Group performing and the customer simultaneously
receiving and consuming the benefits provided over the life of the
contract.
For each performance obligation to be recognised over time, the
Group applies a revenue recognition method that faithfully depicts
the Group's performance in transferring control of the goods or
services to the customer. This decision requires assessment of the
real nature of the goods or services that the Group has promised to
transfer to the customer. The Group applies the relevant output or
input method consistently to similar performance obligations in
other contracts.
When using the output method the Group recognises revenue on the
basis of direct measurements of the value to the customer of the
goods and services transferred to date relative to the remaining
goods and services under the contract. Where the output method is
used, in particular for long term service contracts where the
series guidance is applied, the Group often uses a method of time
elapsed which requires minimal estimation. Certain long term
contracts use output methods based upon estimation of number of
users, level of service activity or fees collected.
If performance obligations in a contract do not meet the over
time criteria, the Group recognises revenue at a point in time.
This may be at the point of physical delivery of goods and
acceptance by a customer or when the customer obtains control of an
asset or service in a contract with customer-specified acceptance
criteria.
Disaggregation of revenue
The Group disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by
contract type, which includes only fertiliser as management
believes this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and
uncertainty of the Group's revenue and cash flows.
Performance obligations
Performance obligations categorised within this revenue type
include the debtor taking ownership of the fertiliser product.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for the half-year ended 30 June 2022
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable
value.
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location
and condition is accounted for as follows:
-- Raw materials - purchase cost; and
-- Finished goods - cost of direct materials and labour and an
appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overheads based on
normal operating capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and
the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it
is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Where the Group expects some, or all, of a provision to be
reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the
reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any
provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net
of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, 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 where appropriate, the risks specific to the
liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision
due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
NOTE 2: SEGMENT REPORTING
For management purposes, the Group is organised into one main
operating segment, which involves mining exploration processing and
sale of fertiliser. All of the Group's activities are interrelated,
and discrete financial information is reported to the Board (Chief
Operating Decision Maker) as a single segment. No revenue is
derived from a single external customer.
Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon
analysis of the Group as one segment. The financial results from
this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the
Group as a whole. Revenue earned by the Group is generated in
Brazil and all of the Group's non-current assets reside in
Brazil.
