Chairman's Statement
2018 was a transformational year for Harvest Minerals Limited
('Harvest or the 'Company') with the period under review playing a
crucial role in that process, as we focused on generating value for
shareholders through realising several key milestones and
establishing a firm platform for future growth.
During the review period, we concentrated on the continued
development of our Arapuá Project ('the Project'), in the heart of
the largest and fastest growing fertiliser market in Brazil, where
we produce KPfértil, a registered and approved organic
multi-nutrient fertiliser that contains many of the essential
nutrients required by plants.
In June 2018, following an oversubscribed placing, Harvest spent
the remainder of the year completing the mine and associated
processing plant expansion at the Project to facilitate the
increased production of up to 320Kt per annum, to be in a position
to service both existing and new sales contracts. Additionally, we
have increased marketing activities to include local advertising,
demonstration trials, attending trade events and strengthening key
relationships with local customers and cooperatives.
In July 2018, we received approval from the Ministry of
Agriculture ('MAPA') to register KPfértil as a remineraliser and
generated more exceptional agronomic results that provided further
validation for our product and the significant benefits it can
provide to farmers. Through the planting of a demonstration farm
adjacent to the site, we can clearly show the benefits to
prospective customers first-hand.
Since inception, Harvest has been very successful, but like all
new businesses we have had some outcomes that have fallen short of
our expectations, the most notable of these was the premature
termination of our strategic alliance with Geociclo Biotecnologia
S/A ('Geociclo') that could have provided an impetus to the
Company's expansion plans. The resultant insolvency of Geociclo,
did create an opportunity in being able to appoint key members of
its sales team to our own team and its existing client
database.
The Company's expectations, at this stage, are that the sales
price and cost of production numbers assumed by the Company brokers
are materially in line with the Company's full year expectations.
The Company expects that the assumptions relating to sales volumes
(and therefore revenue) and resultant profit before tax, will not
be met by the 30 June year end, predominately as a result of a
timing issue where the prime selling seasons in Brazil and the
Company's financial year end do not reconcile and as such we see
this as a timing issue not as a permanent impairment. Additionally,
the Company has experienced some unbudgeted one-off costs that have
impacted the Company's profit before tax in H1 2019, which are not
expected to be repeated in H2 2019 or thereafter. The Company
therefore expects to report a 2019 full year revenue figure
approximately 25 per cent. below current analyst estimates, and to
breakeven at the profit before tax level.
Some of the key metrics that the Company monitors internally to
give us comfort that things are progressing well include our
improving month-on-month sales rates and the fact that to date all
customers who have received our product have either purchased
again, or indicated that they will purchase again, when the need
arises. Importantly, we have been able to maintain our selling
price. Additionally, the Company has stabilised its production
costs in accordance with expectations.
With an improving sales run rate and repeat customers, the
business can only grow. We have entered the phase of building a
profitable, sustainable business for the long term. There are many
moving parts to achieving this and the timing and scheduling of
achieving our objectives will not always fit the schedule of all
shareholders or the timing of 6 monthly reporting. Building the
business up to capacity will take months, not weeks and there will
be periods where the communication with the market may be thin.
This should be interpreted as a good thing; it means we are busy
building the business.
As we report on the closing of the 2018-year, Harvest is well
placed to move forward. The macro fundamentals that brought
investors to Harvest remain as strong as ever: the very significant
demand for fertiliser product in Brazil, the attractiveness of our
product compared to alternatives, our proximity to customers, and
our extremely attractive economics are all in place and bode well
for a profitable and exciting future.
The Board believes that Harvest is an attractive proposition: it
is well-funded; revenue generative; the Project is ideally located
within an emerging market; with the product being competitively
priced and an outstanding natural product with a robust profit
margin.
As always, the Board would like to thank our team for their work
and our shareholders for their continued commitment to Harvest.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for the half-year ended 31 December 2018
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 31 December 2018 was authorised for issue
in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 28 March
2019.
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 31 December 2018
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 30
June 2018 and considered together with any public announcements
made by Harvest Minerals Limited during the half-year ended 31
December 2018 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 (as adopted by the European Union).
New and amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations
In the half-year ended 31 December 2018, 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
July 2018.
As a result of this review, the Group has initially applied AASB
9 Financial Instruments and AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with
Customers from 1 July 2018.
Due to the transition methods chosen by the Group in applying
AASB 9 and AASB15, comparative information throughout the interim
financial statements has not been restated to reflect the
requirements of the new standards.
The Directors have determined that there is no material impact
of AASB 9 and AASB 15 revised Standards and Interpretations on the
Group and therefore, no material change is necessary to the Group's
accounting policies.
The Directors have also reviewed all new (including AASB 16
Leases) and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue but not
yet adopted for the half-year ended 31 December 2018. As a result
of this review the Directors have determined that there is no
material impact, of the new and revised Standards and
Interpretations on the Group's business and, therefore, no material
change is necessary to the Group's accounting policies.
As a result of the Company having advanced its Arapua fertilizer
project to production, the following amendments to accounting
policies have been implanted:
Deferred Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
During the period, the Directors determined that in respect of
the Arapua Fertiliser Project, whilst the Company was still
operating under its Trial Mining Licence granted in December 2016
for four years, the ramp up of production pending approval of a
Full Mining Licence warranted reclassifying the costs carried
forward in respect of the Arapua Fertiliser Project of $3,424,124
at 1 July 2018 from Deferred Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
to Mine Properties. This necessitated the Company testing this
expenditure for impairment before reclassification. The results of
this test were that the expenditure was not impaired.
The Company continues to carry forward deferred exploration and
evaluation expenditure for its other projects in accordance with
the Group's accounting policy for such expenditure.
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 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 an entity is also required to recognise as a
provision the best estimate of the present value of expenditure
required to settle the obligation. The present value of estimated
future cash flows is measured using a current market discount
rate.
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.
Revenue
Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received
or receivable. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is
probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the
revenue can be measured reliably. The following specific
recognition criteria must be met before revenue is recognised:
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of fertiliser is recognised when the goods
are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the
following conditions are satisfied:
-- the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks
and rewards of ownership of the goods;
-- the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement
to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective
control over the goods sold;
-- the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
-- it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the
transaction will flow to the Group; and
-- the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
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.
NOTE 2: SEGMENT REPORTING
For management purposes, in the current period the Group was
organised into operating segments based on discrete financial
information reported to the Board (Chief Operating Decision
Maker).
These segments have been designed to represent the
following:
-- Production (Arapua)
-- Exploration and evaluation
-- Corporate
In previous periods, the Group was organised into two main
operating segments, being exploration and evaluation and
corporate.
The following table present revenue and loss information and
certain asset and liability information regarding business segments

Notes
Harvest Minerals (HMI.L) is a Brazilian focused fertiliser
producer advancing the 100% owned Arapua Fertiliser Project, which
produces KPfértil, a proven, multi-nutrient, slow release, organic,
MAPA-certified remineraliser. KPfértil offers many economic and
agronomic benefits and addresses the significant demand for locally
produced fertiliser in Brazil, with its abundant agricultural land;
currently, the country imports 90% of the potash it uses but has a
target to be self-sufficient in fertilisers by 2020. Covering
14,946 hectares and located in the heart of the Brazilian
agriculture belt in Minas Gerais, Arapua is a shallow, low cost
mine with an indicated and inferred resource of 13.07Mt at 3.1%
K(2) O and 2.49% P(2) O(5) . This is based on drilling just 6.7% of
the known mineralisation, leaving significant upside potential.
This resource is equivalent over 29 years' production and the known
mineralisation expected to support 100+ years' production at
450,000 tonnes per annum.
