Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A summary of the principal accounting policies are set out below: Cash The Company maintains its cash balances in interest and non-interest bearing accounts which do not exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kibush Capital, Angel Jade and Aqua Mining. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Other Comprehensive Income and Foreign Currency Translation FASB ASC 220-10-05, Comprehensive Income The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. Reclassifications Reclassifications have been made to prior year consolidated financial statements in order to conform the presentation to the statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2015. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management are, recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, valuation of derivative liabilities, and valuation of common stock, options, warrants and deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Non-Controlling Interests Investments in associated companies over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the consolidation method, after appropriate adjustments for intercompany profits and dividends. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. It requires an acquirer to recognize, at the acquisition date, the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their full fair values as of that date. In a business combination achieved in stages (step acquisitions), the acquirer will be required to re-measure its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss in earnings. The acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs will no longer be included as part of the capitalized cost of the acquired entity but will be required to be accounted for separately in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles. U.S. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. A non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in a consolidated entity that is reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the Companys equity. In addition, net income/(loss) attributable to non-controlling interests is reported separately from net income attributable to the Company in the consolidated financial statements. The Companys consolidated statements present the full amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses of all of our consolidated subsidiaries, with a partially offsetting amount shown in non-controlling interests for the portion of these assets and liabilities that are not controlled by us. For our investments in affiliated entities that are included in the consolidation, the excess cost over underlying fair value of net assets is referred to as goodwill and reported separately as Goodwill in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Goodwill may only arise where consideration has been paid. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows: Plant equipment 2 to 15 years Computer and software 1 to 2 years Office equipment 3 to 10 years Building improvements 20 years Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-5, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ● Significant under performance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; ● Significant changes in its strategic business objectives and utilization of the assets; ● Significant negative industry or economic trends, including legal factors; If the Company determines that the carrying values of long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Companys management performs an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if impairment exists. If impairment exists, the Company measures the impairment based on the difference between the assets carrying amount and its fair value, and the impairment is charged to operations in the period in which the long-lived asset impairment is determined by management. The carrying value of the Companys investment in Joint Venture contract with leaseholders of certain Mining Leases in Papua New Guinea represents its ownership, accounted for under the equity method. The ownership interest is not adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis. Each reporting period the Company assesses the fair value of the Companys ownership interest in Joint Venture in accordance with FASB ASC 325-20-35. Each year the Company conducts an impairment analysis in accordance with the provisions within FASB ASC 320-10-35 paragraphs 25 through 32. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of the Companys cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments. The Company believes the carrying amount of its notes payable approximates its fair value based on rates and other terms currently available to the Company for similar debt instruments Beneficial Conversion Features of Debentures In accordance with FASB ASC 470-20, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, we recognize the advantageous value of conversion rights attached to convertible debt. Such rights give the debt holder the ability to convert debt into common stock at a price per share that is less than the trading price to the public on the day the loan is made to us. The beneficial value is calculated as the intrinsic value (the market price of the stock at the commitment date in excess of the conversion rate) of the beneficial conversion feature of debentures and related accruing interest is recorded as a discount to the related debt and an addition to additional paid in capital. The discount is amortized over the remaining outstanding period of related debt using the interest method. Derivative Financial Instruments We apply the provisions of FASB ASC 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging In applying the Black-Scholes valuation model, the Company used the following assumptions during the quarter ended December 31, 2015: For the quarter Ended December 31, 2015 Annual dividend yield - Expected life (years) 0.50 1.00 Risk-free interest rate 0.03% 0.13% Expected volatility 210.12.% 400.48% The inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, a financial securitys hierarchy level is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company determines the fair value of its derivative instruments using a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of observable or unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Companys market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 The following table presents the Companys embedded conversion features of its convertible debt measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2015: Carry Value at December 31, 2015 Derivative liabilities: Embedded conversion features - notes $ 646,202 Total derivative liability $ 646,202 For the 3 Months ended December 31, 2015 Change in fair value included in other income (expense), net $ 15,225 The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the Companys derivative liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs: For the 3 Months ended December 31, 2015 Embedded Conversion Features - Notes: Balance at beginning of year $ 498,417 Change in derivative liabilities $ 163,010 Net change in fair value included in net loss $ -15,225 Ending balance $ 646,202 The Company re-measures the fair values of all of its derivative liabilities as of each period end and records the net aggregate gain/loss due to the change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities as a component of other expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. During the year ended September 30, 2015 and 3 months ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded a net increase (decrease) to the fair value of derivative liabilities balance of $131,044 and $15,225, respectively. Loss per Share The Company applies FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include additional common shares available upon exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method, except for periods for which no common share equivalents are included because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future consequences of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases (temporary differences). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances for deferred tax assets are established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Mineral Property, Mineral Rights (Claims) Payments and Exploration Costs Pursuant to EITF 04-02, Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets and Related Issues, the Company has an accounting policy to capitalize the direct costs to acquire or lease mineral properties and mineral rights as tangible assets. The direct costs include the costs of signature (lease) bonuses, options to purchase or lease properties, and brokers and legal fees. If the acquired mineral rights relate to unproven properties, the Company does not amortize the capitalized mineral costs, but evaluates the capitalized mineral costs periodically for impairment. The Company expenses all costs related to the exploration of mineral claims in which it had secured exploration rights prior to establishment of proven and probable reserves. Accounting Treatment of Mining Interests At this time, the Company does not directly own or directly lease mining properties. However, the Company does have contractual rights and governmental permits which allow the Company to conduct mining exploration on such properties. These contractual relationships, coupled with the government permits issued to the Company (or a subsidiary), are substantially similar in nature to a mining lease. Therefore, we have treated these contracts as lease agreements for accounting purposes. Research and Development Research and development costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. The Company did not incur any research and development costs for the quarters ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Recent Accounting Pronouncements New accounting standards Development State Entities Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entitys financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). Upon adoption, entities will no longer present or disclose any information required by Topic 915. The Company has early adopted ASU 2014-10 commencing with its financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2014 and subsequent periods. Accounting standards to be adopted in future periods In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) which provides guidance for accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of this ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity would be required to apply the following five steps: 1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities will have the option to apply the final standard retrospectively or use a modified retrospective method, recognizing the cumulative effect of the ASU in retained earnings at the date of initial application. An entity will not restate prior periods if it uses the modified retrospective method, but will be required to disclose the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period by the application of the ASU as compared to the guidance in effect prior to the change, as well as reasons for significant changes. The Company will adopt the updated standard in the first quarter of 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that implementing this ASU will have on its financial statements and disclosures, as well as whether it will use the retrospective or modified retrospective method of adoption. Recognition of Revenue Revenue is realized from product sales. Recognition occurs upon shipment to customers, and where the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; the sales price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. Additional revenue from royalties is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exits; the amount due is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. Company management do not believe that the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. | NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A summary of the principal accounting policies are set out below: Cash The Company maintains its cash balances in interest and non-interest bearing accounts which do not exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kibush Capital, Angel Jade and Aqua Mining. The financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2014 are consolidated with Instacash. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Other Comprehensive Income and Foreign Currency Translation FASB ASC 220-10-05, Comprehensive Income The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. Reclassifications Reclassifications have been made to prior year consolidated financial statements in order to conform the presentation to the statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2015.

U.S. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. A non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in a consolidated entity that is reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the Companys equity. In addition, net income/(loss) attributable to non-controlling interests is reported separately from net income attributable to the Company in the consolidated financial statements. The Companys consolidated statements present the full amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses of all of our consolidated subsidiaries, with a partially offsetting amount shown in non-controlling interests for the portion of these assets and liabilities that are not controlled by us. For our investments in affiliated entities that are included in the consolidation, the excess cost over underlying fair value of net assets is referred to as goodwill and reported separately as Goodwill in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Goodwill may only arise where consideration has been paid. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows: Plant equipment 2 to 15 years Computer and software 1 to 2 years Office equipment 3 to 10 years Building improvements 20 years Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-5, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ● Significant under performance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; ● Significant changes in its strategic business objectives and utilization of the assets; ● Significant negative industry or economic trends, including legal factors; If the Company determines that the carrying values of long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Companys management performs an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if impairment exists. If impairment exists, the Company measures the impairment based on the difference between the assets carrying amount and its fair value, and the impairment is charged to operations in the period in which the long-lived asset impairment is determined by management. The carrying value of the Companys investment in Joint Venture contract with leaseholders of certain Mining Leases in Papua New Guinea represents its ownership, accounted for under the equity method. The ownership interest is not adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis. Each reporting period the Company assesses the fair value of the Companys ownership interest in Joint Venture in accordance with FASB ASC 325-20-35. Each year the Company conducts an impairment analysis in accordance with the provisions within FASB ASC 320-10-35 paragraphs 25 through 32. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of the Companys cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments. The Company believes the carrying amount of its notes payable approximates its fair value based on rates and other terms currently available to the Company for similar debt instruments Beneficial Conversion Features of Debentures In accordance with FASB ASC 470-20, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, we recognize the advantageous value of conversion rights attached to convertible debt.
