Cue Energy Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2026 Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued) 36 Contract liabilities Contract liabilities represent the Consolidated Entity's obligation to transfer gas to customers and are recognised when a customer pays consideration or when a receivable is recognised reflecting its unconditional right to consideration before the Consolidated Entity has satisfied its performance obligations in respect of the transfer of the goods or services to the customer. The Consolidated Entity assumed performance obligations for the delivery of ‘gas not taken’ by its sole customer in the Dingo field. Under the take or pay arrangement, the Consolidated Entity has the obligation to provide make up gas (“MUG”) within the contractually defined volumes, which was not previously taken by the customer. The customer must take the future delivery of gas no later than 2035. (n) Accounting policy for employee benefits The following liabilities arising in respect of employee benefits are measured at their nominal amounts: - wages and salaries and annual leave expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date; and - other employee benefits expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date. All other employee benefit liabilities expected to be settled more than 12 months after the reporting date are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows in respect of services provided up to the reporting date. Liabilities are determined after taking into consideration estimated future increase in wages and salaries and past experience regarding staff departures. Related on-costs are included. (o) New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The Consolidated Entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. There was no impact upon adoption of these standards. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. Note 3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgements in the application of accounting standards, make certain assumptions that affect the application of policies and consider and conclude on sources of and apply estimation uncertainties which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The judgements made, assumptions applied and the consideration of sources of estimation uncertainty, are based on the application of historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of concluding on the carrying values of assets and liabilities that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These accounting policies have been consistently applied by each entity in the Consolidated Entity, and the judgements made, assumptions applied and consideration of sources of estimation uncertainty are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. (i) Recovery of deferred tax assets Management recognises deferred tax assets on unutilised carry forward tax losses if management considers it is probable that future tax profits will be available to utilise the unused tax losses (refer to note 9). Management is required to make assumptions on and consider inherent uncertainties in respect of the various inputs used in the estimation of future taxable income against which unutilised losses may be applied. These assumptions include but are not limited to the nature, timing and extent of project development and reserves, production and sales performance, energy prices where not contractually fixed and which are subject to global macroeconomic factors and inflation and its impact on future tax deductions. The inherent estimation uncertainty when forecasting future operational and financial performance also directly affect the actual generation of future taxable income, which may differ to the estimated taxable income and associated deferred tax asset. 49 Cue Energy Resources Limited Annual Report 2026
