Nyrada Inc - Annual Report 2021

Annual Report FY21 59 22. Financial instruments Capital management The Consolidated Entity manages its capital to ensure entities in the Consolidated Entity will be able to continue as going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Consolidated Entity's overall strategy remains unchanged from 2020. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements, except for Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act 2001 in relation to take over provisions and Chapter 7 of ASX listing rules on 15% placement capacity on new equity raising. On 19 November 2020, at the Annual General Meeting of the Company, the shareholders of Nyrada approved an additional 10% placement facility in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company now has total placement facility to issue up to 25% of the share capital of the Company up to 19 November 2021, being twelve months since shareholders approved the additional placement capacity. Given the nature of the business, the Consolidated Entity monitors capital on the basis of current business operations and cash flow requirements.

Financial risk management objectives In common with all other businesses, the Consolidated Entity is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the consolidated entities objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of those risks is presented throughout these financial statements. There have been no substantive changes in the Consolidated Entity's exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note. The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the consolidated entities risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the consolidated entities finance function. The consolidated entities risk management policies and objectives are therefore designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the Consolidated Entity where such impacts may be material. The Board receives monthly financial reports through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets. The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the consolidated entities competitiveness and flexibility.
