Review Of Operations

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of the directors of Artemis Resources Limited (“Artemis”), it gives me pleasure to advise you of your Company’s progress for the financial year ending 30 June 2012.

The operations of the consolidated entity during the year are as described below.

Exploration Report

The Company has interests in the following exploration projects with a focus on gold:

  • Yandal

  • West Pilbara

  • Mt Clement

Yandal – Gold Project

Artemis Resources 100%

The Yandal Gold Project covers a total area of 238 km[2] and is located 95 km southeast of the township of Wiluna (figure 1). The project area lies in the highly-productive Yandal Greenstone Belt in the northern part of the Eastern Goldfields Province of Western Australia which has produced more than 12 million ounces of gold to date. The project lies 30km north of the 2mtpa Bronzewing Gold Mine, and adjacent to Echo Resources Limited’s Julius discovery.

The Yandal Gold Project is host to the Lowlands, Slav Well, Forked Stick, 6 Mile Well and International Gold Deposits, each of which has been drilled by previous explorers with encouraging gold intersections. These explorers include Great Central Mines, MIM, Dominion, Tectonic Resources, Sandstone Resources and Chartfield Limited. Great Central Mines (GCM) discovered the multi million ounce Bronzewing and Jundee deposits. During this period GCM did not have access to large parts of the area now comprising Artemis’ Yandal Project.

Gold mineralisation has been encountered at numerous locations within Artemis’ Yandal Project including Slav Well and Lowlands where historic non-JORC resources were identified by previous explorers.

Following encouraging results received from the 2011 drill programme which included:

Forked Stick 9m @ 7.15g/t Au from 72 metres
(and historical drill results of up to
7m @ 11.5g/t Au from 17m(BRC029))
Lowlands intersection of9m @ 3.53g/t Au from
42 metres

Figure 1. Yandal Project: Location and Tenure

Artemis completed a detailed review of all previous exploration within its Yandal Project and undertook an extensive programme of IP (Induced Polarisation) to confirm gold target areas. The IP programme identified a total of 47 drill targets of which the Company drilled 19 for 3,150 metres in June 2012.

The results of this drilling programme strongly indicate:

  • the presence of additional gold mineralisation both down plunge to the south west beneath the historical Lowlands resource; and

  • to the south where gold mineralisation was encountered some 350m away from the known resource within the southern extension of the altered magnetic basalt host rock.

Annual Report 2012 1

==> picture [596 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

Review Of Operations

The key new drill results (from 4m composite samples) were:

YARC29 40m @ 1.21 g/t Au – known Lowlands oxide zone YARC23 8m @ 1.52 g/t Au – beneath known oxide YARC30 12m @ 1.06 g/t Au – beneath known oxide YARC20 12m @ 1.96 g/t Au – 350m south of Lowlands

At Lowlands, the drilling strongly suggests that gold mineralisation occurs in a ‘pipe’ or shoot located at the intersection of a northerly trending zone of sheared and altered magnetic basalt, (the source of the IP anomalism) and a previously known north west striking, shallow south west dipping shear zone (see Figures 2 & 3).

The new deeper RC drilling on east-west cross sections has detected gold mineralisation below and to the south of Lowlands. There are strong indications that the known Lowlands oxide resource is a south west plunging shoot extending into the primary sulphide zone.

Holes YARC029 and YARC030 intersected significant gold mineralisation: 40m@ 1.21g/t and 12m @ 1.03g/t respectively. (Refer Figure 2). The final 3 metres of hole YARC028 also returned an assay of 0.71g/t gold at a vertical depth of around 215 metres on Section 7007650mN (See Figure 3).

The recent drilling campaign has confirmed gold mineralisation below the previously known oxide zone with potential to host a large gold target.

At Lowlands South: Drill holes YAR022 and YARC020 intersected soil-covered gold mineralisation within and on the margins of the same sheared and altered magnetic basalt which host Lowlands.

Both holes returned significant gold intercepts. Hole YARC022 intersected 84m of low grade gold mineralisation with gold values up to 0.49g/t over 4m. The hole farthest south, YARC020, intersected a 12m interval of 1.96g/t gold. This mineralisation is open in all directions as no other drilling has been undertaken in this southern area.

In summary these drill results have provided several priority targets for further RC drilling at the Yandal Project, including;

  • to pursue the down plunge and lateral extent of the Lowlands Pipe;

  • targets relating to further shear zones cross cutting the north-south trending mineralised altered magnetic basalt unit; and

Nickel & Other IP Anomalies

Drilling at the Sandalwood Nickel prospect encountered only sub-economic enrichment of nickel and associated chromium. Maximum nickel assay returned was 4m @ 0.24% Ni.

Only a limited number of IP anomalies associated with palaeo-channels were drill tested and results were not conclusive.

  • infill drilling to and around the southern extension (hole YARC20 in Figure 3 above).

West Pilbara – Gold/Base Metals

In June 2012 Artemis acquired Karratha Metals Limited a company with interests in a strategic package of 45 tenements in the West Pilbara and Yandal Greenstone Belts in Western Australia. This package included the West Pilbara assets of Legend Mining Limited.

The portfolio which covers over 700 km[2] is prospective for gold, base metals and iron mineralisation, and is in close proximity to Karratha, the economic hub of the West Pilbara.

Artemis has commenced work to identify priority targets on this West Pilbara ground which hosts various under explored gold, iron and other base metal assets including the widespread gold/copper mineralisation in the Carlow Castle area (see Figure 4).

The West Pilbara acquisition is comprised of six distinct projects (see Figure 5) which can be summarised as follows:

Carlow Castle – gold & copper

The project contains a JORC inferred mineral resource of 91,000 tonnes at an average grade of 10 g/t gold (Au) and 1.4% copper. The area is underexplored with potential to increase the size of the current mineral resource.

Mt Sholl – gold and iron mineralisation

Mt Sholl contains two principal areas of known mineralisation – Golden Reef (substantial quantities of alluvial gold since 1987) and Orpheus Shear Zone (a copper-lead-zinc discovery by Dragon in 1995), which are largely untested. In addition the Cleaverville Formation is present in the Mt Sholl, Carlow Castle and Mt Marie Projects. BIF units of this formation have the potential to host a significant tonnage of iron mineralisation.

Nickel River – gold

The project has had historical gold production from four localities, Tozer’s, Boiler, Nickol South and Lydia. There remains considerable potential for discovery of additional gold mineralisation in areas below and along strike of shallow workings.

Mt Marie – gold and iron mineralisation

(Joint Venture with Fox Resources – holding 40% (earning to 70%))

The Mt Marie project hosts BIF units of the Cleaverville formation, a potential source of iron mineralisation. In addition the project has potential for gold, copper, zinc, silver and nickel.

Review Of Operations

Twin Table Hills – base metals

The project is considered to host massive nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation similar to Radio Hill and Ruth Well. A number of high priority targets have been identified, not yet tested by drilling.

Radio Hill – base metals

The project has potential for discovery of Radio-Hill type massive sulphide mineralisation, being located immediately north of the Radio Hill Nickel mine. There is known nickel-copper mineralisation at the Little Dingo and Toorare Pool prospects to be further explored with test drilling.

Mt Clement – Gold/Silver Project

Artemis Resources 100% of E08/1841 and E08/1606

Artemis Resources 80% Northern Star Resources Limited (NST) 20% (for tenements M08/191, M08/192 & M08/193 – for which NST has free carry to bankable feasibility).

The Mt Clement Project comprises three granted Mining Leases (valid until 2020) and two granted Exploration Licences that cover a total area of 14.55km[2] in the Ashburton area of Western Australia. The project lies roughly 30km southeast of the operating Paulsen’s Gold Mine owned by Northern Star Resources Limited.

In 2011, following a successful drilling programme in the previous year, the Company commissioned a new JORC-compliant resource estimate prepared by independent consultants Apex Geoscience Limited.

The estimate indicates a total Inferred Resource of 1,131,600 tonnes at 1.77g/tAu and 17.0g/tAg containing almost 64,400 ounces of gold and 620,000 ounces of silver, for a total of 80,000 ounces gold equivalent at current commodity prices. This represents a 58% increase in contained gold over the historical resource estimate for the project, and a doubling of the precious metal (gold and silver) content.

Artemis has confirmed that four targets remain within the immediate resource area, that have potential to increase the resource and warrant further exploration:

  • The first target is the extension of the high grade zone, where seven separate lodes have been identified and each remains open to the west. There is approximately 100m of strike length open until these lodes would intersect a dolerite dyke to the west. Drilling of this target has been constrained by topography but Artemis considers it to be a high priority target that warrants additional drilling.

  • The second target is the down-dip extension of the high grade gold-silver zone. A potential extension of 40m has been identified in this target.

==> picture [237 x 354] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 6: Mt Clement Project Location and Tenure

  • The third area lies adjacent to a hole that returned 16m @ 3.04g/t Au from 37.15m and 8m @ 0.52% Cu from 41.6m. Artemis has identified this area as having potential for additional high grade zones of gold-copper mineralisation. The elevated copper might be associated with a second north-south fault structure and Artemis intends to conduct detailed surface mapping to locate this structure.

  • The fourth target lies in the northeast trending fault that offsets the mineralisation at Mt Clement. It is assumed that this structure has had multiple phases of fluid flow and re-activation. Due to the proximity of high gold and silver grades to this fault, it appears possible that this was the main fluid pathway sourcing mineralisation into the deposit. As such, exploration along this fault structure might identify favourable structural/lithological trap sites that could host additional mineralisation.

Other Projects

Artemis’ other projects are as follows:

Mundong Well – Uranium

Mundong Well is located in the Ashburton region of Western Australia, 300km south-west of Karratha. The project covers 169 square kilometres and includes the Mundong West, Cambridge Creek and Bali Hi tenements. The project hosts a variety of uranium styles of mineralisation including vein type, palaeochannel and calcrete uranium occurrences.

Buchanan’s Creek – Rare Metals

Artemis Resources holds tenements in Buchanan’s Creek/ Grant’s Gully containing known lithium (Li) and niobium (Nb) mineralsation. Buchanan’s Creek Prospect is located south of Georgetown, North Queensland.

During the year Artemis entered into a farm in agreement with Resmetco Pty Limited. Under this agreement Resmetco paid Artemis $70,000 for the right to earn a 51% beneficial interest in the tenements by spending $400,000 over the first four years and a further 24% by spending a further $400,000 over the following three years.

Artemis has substantial opportunity in its portfolio of 71 tenements including projects with gold, base metals, uranium and iron mineralisation. Through judicious exploration and ongoing assessment of all its projects, Artemis will deliver value to its shareholders in the year ahead.

We wish to thank our shareholders for their ongoing support.

Corporate Governance

The Artemis Resources Limited group (“Artemis”), through its Board and executives, recognises the need to establish and maintain corporate governance policies and practices that reflect the requirements of the market regulators and participants, and the expectations of members and others who deal with Artemis. These policies and practices remain under constant review as the corporate governance environment and good practices evolve.

ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations

Artemis is currently a small cap listed company and where its processes do not fit the model of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, the Board believes that there are good reasons for the different approach being adopted. Reporting against the 8 Principles, we advise as follows:

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

1.1 Companies should establish the functions reserved to the board and those delegated to senior executives and disclose those functions.

The primary responsibilities of Artemis’ board include:

  • i. The establishment of long term goals of the Company and strategic plans to achieve those goals;

  • ii. The review and adoption of the annual business plan for the financial performance of the company and monitoring the results on a monthly basis;

  • iii. The appointment of the General Manager (or equivalent);

  • iv. Ensuring that the Company has implemented adequate systems of internal control together with appropriate monitoring of compliance activities; and

  • v. The approval of the annual and half-yearly statutory accounts and reports.

The Board meets on a regular basis, normally every two months, to review the performance of the Company against its goals both financial and non-financial. In normal circumstances, prior to the scheduled board meetings, each board member is provided with a formal board package containing appropriate management and financial reports.

The responsibilities of senior management including the General Manager (or equivalent) are contained in letters of appointment and job descriptions given to each appointee on appointment and updated at least annually or as required.

The primary responsibilities of senior management are:

  • i. Achieve Artemis’ objectives as established by the Board from time to time;

  • ii. Operate the business within the cost budget set by the Board;

  • iii. Ensure that Artemis’ appointees work with an appropriate Code of Conduct and Ethics; and

  • iv. Ensure that Artemis appointees are supported, developed and rewarded to the appropriate professional standards.

1.2 Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of senior executives and appointees.

The performance of all senior executives and appointees is reviewed at least once a year. The performance of the General Manager (or equivalent) is reviewed by the Chairman on an annual basis, and the performance of other senior executives is reviewed by the General Manager (or equivalent), in conjunction with the Board. They are assessed against personal and Company Key Performance Indicators established from time to time as appropriate for Artemis.

1.3 Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 1.

A performance evaluation for each senior executive has taken place in the reporting period in line with the process disclosed.

A statement covering the primary responsibilities of the Board is set out in 1.1 above.

A statement covering the primary responsibilities of the senior executives is set out in 1.1 above.

The Artemis Corporate Governance Charter is available on the Artemis web site, and includes sections that provide a board charter. The Artemis board reviews its charter when it considers changes are required.

Annual Report 2012 7

==> picture [596 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

Corporate Governance

Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value

2.1 A majority of the Board should be independent directors.

During the reporting period, the Artemis Board consisted of three directors. Of these directors two are considered independent.

2.2 The Chairperson should be independent.

George Frangeskides, the current acting non-executive chairman, is independent.

2.3 Chief Executive Officer should not be the same as Chairman.

During the period under review Guy Robertson held the senior executive role, as Chief Operating Officer.

2.4 A nomination committee should be established.

As Artemis is a small cap company, the Board has decided that responsibilities of a nominations committee should be handled by the full Board.

2.5 Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors.

The Artemis Board has three Board members, who are in regular contact with each other as they deal with matters relating to Artemis’s business. The Board uses a personal evaluation process to review the performance of directors, and at appropriate times the Chairman (or acting Chairman) takes the opportunity to discuss Board performance with individual directors and to give them his own personal assessment.

2.6 Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 2

A description of the skills and experience of each director is contained in the 2012 Directors Report.

George Frangeskides (appointed on 15 August 2012) and Shannon Coates are considered to be independent. Guy Robertson, as an executive director, is not considered to be independent.

Directors are able to take independent professional advice at the expense of the Company, with the prior agreement of the Chairman.

The nomination responsibilities are handled by the full board under the guidance of the Chairman.

Given the changes in the Board structure during the period to the reporting date, an evaluation of the Board of directors has not taken places in accordance with the process described in 2.5 above, but will be undertaken before the end of the next financial year.

New directors are selected with consultation of all board members and their appointment voted by the Board. Each year, in addition to any Board members appointed to fill casual vacancies during the year, one third of directors retires by rotation and is subject to re-election by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

There is no Board charter for nominations. Nominees must have appropriate qualifications in either technical, financial or legal disciplines. Public company experience and previous experience in companies operating in the field of mineral exploration are also prerequisites.

The Chairman also welcomes advice from Directors relating to his own personal performance. The full Board as the Remuneration and Nomination Committee determines whether any external advice or training is required. The Board believes that this approach is most appropriate for a company of the size and market capitalisation of Artemis.

Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision-making

3.1 Companies should establish a code

of conduct and disclose the code or a summary of the code as to:

  • the practices necessary to maintain confidence

  • in the company’s integrity;

  • the practices necessary to take into account their legal obligations and the reasonable expectations of their stakeholders; and

  • the responsibility and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices.

Artemis’ policies contain a formal code of conduct that applies to all directors and employees, who are expected to maintain a high standard of conduct and work performance, and observe standards of equity and fairness in dealing with others. The detailed policies and procedures encapsulate the company’s ethical standards. The code of conduct is contained in the Artemis Corporate Governance Charter.

3.2 Companies should establish a policy

concerning diversity and disclose the policy or a summary of that policy. The policy should include requirements for the board to establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity for the board to assess annually both the objectives and progress in achieving them.

As a company with a small market capitalisation, the company has a small board. The company has no established policy at present but is aware of the principle and will be alert for opportunities when board changes are contemplated. As a result the Company appointed Shannon Coates to the Board this year. Shannon’s background is included on page 14.

3.3 Companies should disclose in each annual

report the measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity set by the board in accordance with the diversity policy and progress towards achieving them.

The company has, as yet, no established policy in relation to gender diversity. The company has a small number of employees and as a consequence the opportunity for creating a meaningful gender diversity policy are limited.

3.4 Companies should disclose in each annual report the proportion of women employees in the whole organisation, women in senior executive positions and women on the board.

Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting

4.1 Establish an audit committee.

The Company has an Audit Committee.

4.2 Audit Committee composition.

As Artemis is a company with a small market capitalisation, the audit committee is comprised of two members being Shannon Coates (Chairman of the Audit Committee) and George Frangeskides.

4.3 A formal charter should be established for the Audit Committee.

The Company has adopted an Audit Committee charter. It is publicly available on the Artemis website.

4.4 Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 4.

The Audit Committee met twice during the course of the year.

The Audit Committee provides a forum for the effective communication between the board and external auditors. The committee reviews:

  • The annual and half-year financial reports and accounts prior to their approval by the board;

  • The effectiveness of management information systems and systems of internal control; and

  • The efficiency and effectiveness of the external audit functions.

The committee meets with and receives regular reports from the external auditors concerning any matters that arise in connection with the performance of their role, including the adequacy of internal controls.

In conjunction with the auditors the Audit Committee monitors the term of the external audit engagement partner and ensures that the regulatory limit for such term is not exceeded. At the completion of the term, or earlier in some circumstances, the auditor nominates a replacement engagement partner.

The committee interviews the nominee to assess relevant prior experience, potential conflicts of interest and general suitability for the role. If the nominee is deemed suitable, the committee reports to the Board on its recommendation.

The Audit Committee also reviews the Artemis Corporate Governance and Risk Management processes to ensure that they are effective enough for a listed public company with a small market capitalisation.

Given the small size of the company and the limited number of employees this is not a meaningful statistic at this time.

Corporate Governance

Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure

Principle 6: Respect the rights of shareholders

5.1 Companies should establish written policies designed to ensure compliance with ASX Listing Rule disclosure requirements and to ensure accountability at a senior executive level for that compliance and disclose those policies or a summary of those policies.

The Artemis Board and senior management are conscious of the ASX Listing Rule Continuous Disclosure requirements, which are supported by the law, and take steps to ensure compliance. The Company has a policy, which can be summarised as follows:

  • the Board, with appropriate advice, determines whether an announcement is required under the Continuous Disclosure principles;

  • all announcements are monitored by the Company Secretary; and

  • all media comment is handled by the Chief Operating Officer.

Artemis believes that the internet is now the best way to communicate with shareholders and provides detailed announcements to the Australian Securities Exchange on a regular basis to ensure that shareholders are kept well informed on Artemis’ activities.

6.1 Companies should design a communications policy for promoting effective communication with shareholders and encouraging their participation at general meetings and disclose their policy or a summary of that policy.

Artemis provides information to its shareholders through the formal communications processes (e.g. ASX releases, general meetings, annual report, and occasional shareholder letters). This material is also available on the Artemis website (www.artemisresources.com.au).

Shareholders are encouraged to participate in general meetings and time is set aside for formal and informal questioning of the Board, senior management and the auditors. The external audit partner attends the annual general meeting to be available to answer any shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report.

6.2 Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 6. The Company’s communications policy is described in 6.1 above.

5.2 Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 5.

Artemis’ disclosure policy to shareholders is set out as part of the Artemis Corporate Governance charter, which is publicly available on the Artemis web site, as are Artemis’ recent announcements.

Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk

7.1 Companies should establish a sound system for the oversight and management of material business risks.

The company has established policies for the oversight and management of material business risks.

The board monitors the risks and internal controls of Artemis through the Audit Committee. That committee looks to the executive management to ensure that an adequate system is in place to identify and, where possible, on a cost effective basis appropriate for a company with a small market capitalisation, to manage risks inherent in the business, and to have appropriate internal controls.

As part of the process, Artemis’ management formally identifies and assesses the risks to the business, and these assessments are noted by the Audit Committee and the Board.

7.2 The board should require management to design and implement the risk management and internal control system to manage the company’s material business risks and report to it on whether those risks are being managed effectively. The board should disclose that management has reported to it as to the effectiveness of the company’s management of its material business risks.

The Board has required management to design and implement the risk management and internal control system appropriate to a company with a small market capitalisation of the size of Artemis to manage the Company’s material business risks and report to it on whether those risks are being managed effectively. Management has reported to the Board as to the effectiveness of the Company’s management of its material business risks.

7.3 The board should disclose whether it has

received assurance from the chief executive officer (or equivalent) and the chief financial officer (or equivalent) that the declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

The board has received assurance from the Chief Operating Officer and the Chief Financial Officer that the declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001 is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control appropriate for a company with a small market capitalisation of the size of Artemis, and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

7.4 Companies should provide information in the Guide to reporting on Principle 7.

The Board has received the report from Management under Recommendation 7.2 and the Board has received the assurances referred to under Recommendation 7.3. The Company’s policies on risk oversight and management of material business risks for a small cap company the size of Artemis are not publicly available.

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly

8.1 Establish a remuneration committee.

As it is a company with a small market capitalisation, Artemis has not established a remuneration committee. Those responsibilities are handled by the full board under the guidance of the Chairman.

8.2 The remuneration committee should be structured so that it:

  • consists of a majority of independent directors;

  • is chaired by an independent chair; and

  • has at least three members.

As it is a company with a small market capitalisation, Artemis has not established a remuneration committee. Those responsibilities are handled by the full board under the guidance of the Chairman.

8.3 Companies should clearly distinguish the structure of non-executive directors’ remuneration from that of executive directors and senior executives.

The remuneration details of non-executive directors, executive directors and senior management are set out in the Remuneration Report that forms part of the Directors’ report.

Senior executives’ remuneration packages are reviewed by reference to Artemis’ performance, the executive director’s or senior executive’s performance, comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries, which guidance from external remuneration sources. This provides a basis to ensure that base remuneration is set to reflect the market for a comparable role.

The performance of the executive director and senior executives is measured against criteria agreed annually and bonuses and incentives are linked to predetermined performance criteria and may, with shareholder approval, include the issue of shares and/or options.

There are no schemes for retirement benefits, other than statutory superannuation for non-executive directors.

8.4 Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 8.

The information is as outlined above.

Directors’ Report

Remuneration report (audited)

Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy of Artemis has been designed to align director objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual basis in line with market rates and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the consolidated group’s financial results.

The Board of Artemis believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best directors to run and manage the Company, as well as create goal congruence between directors and shareholders.

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and officers is as follows:

  • The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions (where appropriate) for the executive directors and other senior staff members, was developed and approved by the Board;

  • In determining competitive remuneration rates, the Board may seek independent advice on local and international trends among comparative companies and industry generally. It examines terms and conditions for employee incentive schemes, benefit plans and share plans. Independent advice may be obtained to confirm that executive remuneration is in line with market practice and is reasonable in the context of Australian executive reward practices;

  • The Company is a mineral exploration company, and therefore speculative in terms of performance. Consistent with attracting and retaining talented executives, directors and senior executives, such personnel are paid market rates associated with individuals in similar positions within the same industry. Options and performance incentives may be issued particularly as the Company moves from commercialisation to a producing entity and key performance indicators such as profit and production can be used as measurements for assessing executive performance.

Given the early stage of the company’s projects it is not meaningful to track executive compensation to financial results and shareholder wealth. It is also not possible to set meaningful specific objective performance criteria for directors as this stage;

  • All remuneration paid to directors and officers is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Where appropriate, shares given to directors, executives and officers are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology; and

  • The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors and officers at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Chairman in consultation with independent advisors determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders in a General Meeting, and is currently $150,000 per annum, as approved by shareholders. Fees for non-executive directors and officers are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors and officers are encouraged to hold shares in the company.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2012

These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Artemis Resources Limited and Controlled Entities (the “consolidated group” or “group”).

The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Artemis Resources Limited, have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 .

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 27 September 2012 by the directors of the company.

1. Statement of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 .

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

a. Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Artemis Resources Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Artemis Resources Limited has the ability and right to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities is included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 7 to the financial statements.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group have been eliminated in full on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, are reported separately within the equity section of the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The non-controlling interests in the net assets comprise their interests at the date of the original business combination and their share of changes in equity since that date.

Business combinations

Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.

A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is attained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions).

When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.

All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.

b. Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As disclosed in the financial statements, the company and consolidated entity incurred losses of $1,646,195 and $1,643,389 respectively, and the consolidated entity had net cash outflows from operating activities of $426,188 and investing activities of $1,520,211 for the year ended 30 June 2012.

The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the company and consolidated entity will continue as going concerns and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report after consideration of the following factors:

  • The company has been successful in raising capital during the period (per note 11);

  • The company has the ability to continue to raise additional funds on a timely basis, pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001;

  • The consolidated entity has cash at bank at balance date of $1,993,844, net working capital of $1,489,197 and net assets of $9,410,789 as at 30 June 2012;

c. Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

Changes in accounting policies on initial application of accounting standards

In the year ended 30 June 2012, the Group has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.

It has been determined by the Group that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

The Group has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2012. 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 its business and, therefore, no change necessary to Group accounting policies.

The following Australian Accounting Standards have been issued or amended and are applicable to the Company but are not yet effective.

  • The ability of the consolidated entity to further scale back certain parts of their activities that are non essential so as to conserve cash;

  • The consolidated entity retains the ability, if required, to wholly or in part dispose of interests in mineral exploration and development assets; and

  • Directors have prepared cash flow projections for the consolidated entity and have satisfied themselves that it has adequate funding available for the 12 months following the date of this report to settle any obligations as and when they become due.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2012

1. Statement of significant accounting policies continued

d. Income taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income). Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

e. Evaluation and exploration and costs

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Evaluation, exploration and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur.

28 Artemis Resources Limited

f. Leases

A distinction is made between finance leases which transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and rewards incident to ownership of the leased asset and operating leases under which the lessor retains substantially all the risks and rewards.

Where an asset is acquired by means of a finance lease, the fair value of the leased property or the present value of minimum lease payments, if lower, is established as an asset at the beginning of the lease term. A corresponding liability is also established and each lease payment is apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability.

Operating lease rental expense is recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term, or on a systematic basis more representative of the time pattern of the user’s benefit.

g. Financial instruments

Recognition and initial measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted).

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified “at fair value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost.

Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method .

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.

The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of Accounting Standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified at “fair value through profit or loss” when they are held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a Group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Loans and receivables are included in current assets, where they are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets where they are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other investments are classified as current assets.

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2012

1. Statement of significant accounting policies continued

They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in such fair value (ie gains or losses) recognised in other comprehensive income (except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses). When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss pertaining to that asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified into profit or loss.

Available-for-sale financial assets are included in non-current assets where they are expected to be sold within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other financial assets are classified as current assets.

(v) Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Derivative instruments

The Group designates certain derivatives as either:

  • i. hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or

  • ii. hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).

At the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the Group’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions, is documented.

Assessments, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items, are also documented.

(i) Fair value hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as fair value hedges are recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, together with any changes in the fair value of hedged assets or liabilities that are attributable to the hedged risk.

(ii) Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is deferred to a hedge reserve in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point.

Financial guarantees

Where material, financial guarantees issued that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due are recognised as a financial liability at fair value on initial recognition.

The guarantee is subsequently measured at the higher of the best estimate of the obligation and the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation in accordance with AASB 118: Revenue. Where the entity gives guarantees in exchange for a fee, revenue is recognised under AASB 118.

The fair value of financial guarantee contracts has been assessed using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach. The probability has been based on:

  • the likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting in a year period;

  • the proportion of the exposure that is not expected to be recovered due to the guaranteed party defaulting; and

  • the maximum loss exposed if the guaranteed party were to default.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Amounts accumulated in the hedge reserve in equity are transferred to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the periods when the hedged item will affect profit or loss.

Artemis Resources Limited

==> picture [596 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

h. Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen.

i. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position.

j. Revenue recognition

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method. It includes the amortisation of any discount or premium.

k. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred except borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period to get ready for its intended use or sale. In this case the borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the cost of such a qualifying asset.

l. Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the consolidated statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

m. Comparative figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

n. Significant judgements and key assumptions

The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group.

o. Key judgements

The Group capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. While there are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted, the directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written off since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded. Such capitalised expenditure is carried at reporting date at $7,413,797.

The amount of borrowing costs relating to funds borrowed generally and used for the acquisition of qualifying assets has been determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on those assets. The capitalisation rate comprises the weighted average of borrowing costs incurred during the period.

1 The balance in 2012 relates to the acquisition of Karratha Metals Limited (See Note 22).

Costs capitalised on areas of interest have also been reviewed for impairment factors, such as resources prices, ability to meet expenditure going forward, potential resource downgrades. It is the Directors’ opinion that the Company has ownership, or title to the areas of interests it has capitalised expenditure on and has reasonable expectations that its activities are ongoing.

As a consequence of the complexities and difficulties surrounding the Niger project the Company has written down its investment in this project to nil. The Company continues to retain a 49% interest in the project and will endeavour to realise value in the project.

The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploration, or, alternatively, sale of the respective area of interest.

Capital management

When managing capital, management’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the entity.

Management is constantly adjusting the capital structure to take advantage of favourable costs of capital or high returns on assets. As the market is constantly changing, management may issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the group since the prior year. This strategy is to maintain share capital as dictated by operational requirements and market conditions.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2012

13. Financial instruments

The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise cash, short term deposits and securities in Australian listed companies. The main purpose of the financial instruments is to earn the maximum amount of interest at a low risk to the company. The Company also has other financial instruments such as trade debtors and creditors which arise directly from its operations. For the period under review, it has been the Company’s policy not to trade in financial instruments. The Company holds financial instruments in the form of shares in Australian listed companies with the aim of trading these shares to generate a profit.

The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are interest rate risk and credit risk and market risk. The board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below:

(a) Interest rate risk

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and financial liabilities. The Company does not have short or long term debt, and therefore this risk is minimal.

At balance date, the Company had the following financial assets and liabilities exposed to interest rate risk that are not designated as cash flow hedges:

$ $
Financial Assets
Cash and cash equivalents 1,993,844 3,940,243
1,993,844 3,940,243

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter-party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

The Company does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any provisions for losses, represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

(c) Foreign exchange risk

The Company has no exposure to foreign exchange risk.

(d) Equity securities price risk

Equity securities price risk arises from investments in listed equity securities. The Group is exposed to equity price risk arising from its equity investments. Equity investments are held for trading purposes. The Group does not actively trade these investments and no hedging or derivative transactions have been used to manage equity price risk.

(e) Sensitivity analysis

The following tables summarise the sensitivity of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities to interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, and equity securities price risks. Had the relevant variables, as illustrated in the tables, moved, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit and equity would have been affected as shown. The analysis has been performed on the same basis for 2012 and 2011.

13. Financial instruments continued

(f) Liquidity risk

The consolidated entity’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of convertible notes, where appropriate. Cash flows from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflect the earliest contractual settlement dates and do not reflect management’s expectations that banking facilities will roll forward.

The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.

20. Share based payments

Goods or services received or acquired in a share-based payment transaction are recognised as an increase in equity if the goods or services were received in an equity-settled share-based payment transaction or as a liability if the goods and services were acquired in a cash settled share-based payment transaction.

For equity-settled share-based transactions, goods or services received are measured directly at the fair value of the goods or services received provided this can be estimated reliably. If a reliable estimate cannot be made the value of the goods or services is determined indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instrument granted.

Transactions with employees and others providing similar services are measured by reference to the fair value at grant date of the equity instrument granted.

Options granted to Key Management Personnel:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF

ARTEMIS RESOURCES LIMITED

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Artemis Resources Limited (“the company”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2012, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 . This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that compliance with the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards .

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
