4 Aruma Resources Limited Annual Report 2015

Letter From the Chairman to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder

Your company, Aruma Resources Ltd, is an active West Australian gold and base metal exploration company focused on the Eastern Goldfields and Ashburton regions of WA.

The past year continued to be a challenging period for the resources industry and in particular for exploration companies. Despite this backdrop and with the access to the R&D tax offset, Aruma continued to proactively explore its projects using new techniques to guide exploration activities. Under the R&D tax offset a refund of $449,000 after costs was received by Aruma for eligible exploration expenditure incurred during FY2014.

This proactive focus and commitment has delineated new gold mineralisation at both its Glandore Project and Clinker Hill Project near Kalgoorlie.

Additionally Aruma continued to develop the Bulloo Downs Copper Project. This is a new project based on strong mineralisation trends in copper with gold, silver, lead and zinc, within 2,800km[2] of prospective ground in the mineral rich Proterozoic basins of the Gascoyne-Pilbara regions.

Projects

The coming year will see funded exploration on all of the Company’s projects, including the drilling of deep diamond holes on HyMap-Emissivity targets at Bulloo Downs.

The size and scope of the Bulloo Downs project has seen Aruma become a significant copper exploration company in the mineral rich Proterozoic basin of the Gascoyne-Pilbara regions which host the De Grussa, Nifty and Horseshoe Deposits. The Bulloo Downs Copper Project is now the largest copper camp in Western Australia, with over 300km of mineralised structures in three Emissivity belts to be tested in the coming year.

Ongoing exploration of the Glandore Project has identified a large mineralising system within the lease area. The opportunity to explore the lease area has been greatly enhanced following the successful negotiation with the local Native Title Group. The previously identified CSIRO Fluid Flow targets under the lake areas were drilled and sampled with several anomalous zones identified. These results will be confirmed in the coming year by a government subsidised deep diamond hole.

Aruma will be exploring the various anomalies at Glandore and Clinker Hill. Jundee South will be evaluated further to determine a preferred commercial strategy, including gauging third party interest in the project.

All of the project areas can be readily accessed from the regional towns of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Newman or Wiluna.

The Company will continue to seek and review other resource opportunities that the Directors consider have the potential to add shareholder value.

At this time the Directors would like to thank all staff and contractors for their contribution to the continuing development of the Company.

I recommend reading this report to gain a further understanding of the Company’s plans and projects, and thank you for your support.

Bulloo Downs

Location and Scale

The Pilbara of Western Australia has the potential to make up the forecast world copper shortfall in global copper supply in the next decade. The Pilbara Copper Province has fertile geology, proven copper endowment, proximity to markets and government and indigenous parties’ supportive of mining. The Province covers some 150,000km[2] and the copper deposits are situated in the northeast section (Yeneena) and the central area (Capricorn) of the Proterozoic basins. The Bulloo Project covers some 2% of the Province and demonstrates good copper fertility.

Figure 2: Bulloo Downs Project location in the Pilbara Gascoyne Province and its comparison in size to the Kambalda-Norseman Nickel Province

The Bulloo Copper project is larger than the Kambalda to Norseman nickel camp in Western Australia and covers an area equal to some 30% of the renowned and comparable Zambian Copper belt. With combined resources of over 3.5Mt, the Pilbara-Gascoyne is a significant and recently identified metal province with many new discoveries such as Bulloo having the ability to become mines.

RC DRILLING

The initial RC program was undertaken in March 2014 (last reporting year) which drilled 13 holes on the western Madison trend and one hole on the Lachlan Trend under an old shaft known as the Bulloo Ilgarari. The holes ranged from 60 to 172m and totalled 1,798m. The best value of 4m at 2.2% Cu from 50m was intersected in BMRC13 but more significantly all sections drilled hit copper mineralisation on the Madison Structure. This program was limited by native title access and Program of Work (PoW) clearances but it successfully demonstrated that the Bulloo mineralisation was structural, thick, high grade and had depth.

A second 2,708m RC drilling program at Bulloo Downs was concluded in early December and the final assay results were published on the 14th of January, 2015, and were included in the December 2014 quarterly activities report to ASX in place of the portable XRF results. Highlights of the program included 3m at 1.3% copper from 79m; 3m at 2.8% copper including 2m at 4.1% and 1m at 8% from 20m; and 2m at 1.7% copper from 79m.

9 Aruma Resources Limited Annual Report 2015

continued Company Review

The results in Table 1 confirm the grade and thickness of the copper mineralisation in three dimensions for the majority of the target zones in the original Madison-Lachlan-Chandra areas and the new Scotties area. The drilling in March 2014 at Madison West demonstrated that the copper mineralisation persisted at depth in BMRC13 (4m at 2.2% Cu from 51m) and now it is extended to the other prospects as well. In defining grade, thickness and extent, the drilling is just the first step in developing Bulloo Downs into another important copper centre in the GascoynePilbara Proterozoic belt.

Aruma drilled eight defined Tier 1 targets and encountered copper mineralisation (>0.1% Cu) in six. The lead and zinc prospects at Koode Maji South and Keep it Dark have not been drilled as they are low on the priority at this stage of exploration.

Bulloo Downs Copper Project Diamond Drilling

Aruma has spent approximately $1.4m on exploration of the Bulloo Leases in the last 18 months. This has seen the definition of strong geological, geochemical and geophysical targets over an area of some 670km[2] . For the last 6 months Aruma has been awaiting funding decisions from both the State Government (EIS) and several major copper companies. The various proposals have been deferred as the area is “too greenfields” for their risk profiles. However the data required is to get deep RC/core holes to investigate the presence of hydrothermal copper orebodies of the Thaduna or Nifty style.

This requires drilling of drill holes to ~500m with follow up down hole EM depending on results.

This expenditure will be eligible for the R&D tax offset in the coming year as it is drilling based on and will test scientific research and new methodologies.

The Aruma interpretation is that the Bulloo dolerites are Bouma Sequence greywackes and vitric tuffs and the Newman Sheet notes describe “an unusual exposure of fine grained, trachytic-textured and porphyritic, ocellar basalt” which “appears to be a chilled margin of a large dolerite sill which has intruded wet unconsolidated muds” or shales. These “Bouma” rocks are rarely identified in WA. Bouma sequences host big gold and copper deposits in the world (Muruntau, Olu Tolgoi and Telfer), and are attractive exploration targets. Both Oyu Tolgoi and Muruntau were called Turquoise Hill before their mineralisation was discovered, the Turquoise being Chrysocolla.

The use of the “Nifty Model” (Figure 4) and the Cu-P relationship (Figure 5) halo will allow chemical vectoring from the results of the initial (this program) diamond drill holes to establish the key indicators of Cu-P, kerogen rich (black) shales, Fe carbonates and alteration and replacement as well as the key copper sulphides. The deepest intersection of copper as chrysocolla is at 141m.

Figure 5: Field XRF Cu-P anomalous population at Bulloo outcrops

The diamond drilling tested the emissivity anomalies on HyMap structures at depth and gave detailed stratigraphy of the Bangemall Formation in the Bulloo and Neds Gap structural corridors. The emissivity anomalies appear to be the reduced depositional environments in which base metal deposits can occur.

These emissivity targets (6 first order and 8 second order) are based on structures that HyMap mineral mapping indicates as showing hydrothermal alteration and emissivity heat flow targets; with high tenor gossans and several drill intersections of 4m at 2.2%, 3m at 1.3%, 2m at 4.1% and 1m at 8% Cu. From Figures 6, 7 and 8 it can be seen that the large continuous emissivity targets with complex structures total some 500km[2] . These were drilled to first test all parameters required to vector to massive sulphides. The six first order target holes to 500m are to be drilled vertical to minimise deflection and attain a depth of economically extractable deposits similar to Nifty.

It is easily seen that the structure and anomaly in Figure 8 is located on a Horsted Horst structure which is the preferred trap for mineralisation.

The drilling will test the structures with chrysocolla, gold, silver and Pb-Zn-U that are in an area with strong emissivity anomalies and is analogous to the drilling of the gravity-magnetic anomaly at Abra. We believe that Aruma's work and genetic model will be proven correct in understanding and discovering the copper endowment of this belt.

Glandore Project

Air Core Drilling

An air core programme was completed in September 2014, with 67 holes for 2,519m which covered the HyMap and Fluid Flow targets on the lake using a special lake rig. This was possible after agreement with the traditional owners in April 2014 after four years of negotiation.

The air core drilling is the first drilling that has targeted structures on the lake away from the historic drilling at the Axial Planar and Supergene structures where results of up to 10m at 10.27g/t in GDJD336 and 8m at 10.4 g/t Au in EGRC 004 have been recorded by previous operators.

The drilling has recorded a number of anomalous gold values (better than 0.1g/t Au) mostly in the supergene blanket at the base of weathering. The highest gold values were 0.96g/t in AGAC055, 12-13 at the southern end Axial Planar, and 0.93g/t in AGAC012, 20-21m at Genge to the north. The anomalous results coincide with interpreted structures from the previously completed Fluid Flow modelling by the CSIRO as can be seen in Figure 10 below.

16 Aruma Resources Limited Annual Report 2015

continued Company Review

Aruma is encouraged by the number of prospective zones identified in this stage of drilling with the wide drill spacing used.

The previously identified Steves prospect (with historical results of up to 10 metres at 2.31 g/t Au) has been extended to the northwest for some 1,100 metres and remains open. Additional new targets have been identified as “Genge” in the most northern line drilled, “Archer” a prospect between the Axial Planar and Steves, and ” Johnston” a zone on the eastern side of Axial Planar open both to the north and south.

The results are considered high tenor for aircore holes in salt lake material, and what is significant is the thickness of the mineralized envelopes as well as the number of holes (17 out of 67) with anomalous (>0.1g/t Au) intersections. This is shown in Figure 10 which will lead to the EIS drill hole below.

Co-Funded Drill Program / Exploration Incentive Scheme

Aruma Resources Limited (Aruma) was successful in its application for Round 11 of the WA Governments Cofunded exploration drilling programme under the Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS).

The EIS grants are offered to explorers and prospectors with greenfields exploration projects within WA, with the overall goal being to assist in increasing the longevity and sustainability of the state’s resource industry.

Aruma has secured funding for 50% of direct drilling cost up to $200,000 at Aruma’s ongoing Glandore Project. The funding is to be utilised for a single deep diamond drill hole.

The deep diamond drill hole is designed to test four parallel structural positions of the known mineralised structural positions (Axial Planar and Supergene Lodes) on the eastern limb of the Glandore anticline. The other two of these positions the Eastern and Johnston positions have not historically been drill tested at depth. Drilling commenced in mid-August 2015 with initial results expected late September 2015.

The drill hole will define the stratigraphy and nature of the mineralised structure in the Glandore area which will assist in understanding the prospectivity of the untested strike of the structures. Additionally this drill hole will reveal the stratigraphy of the geological units to the east of the outcropping Glandore antiform which has been largely unknown due to the lake cover (Figure 11).

Clinker Hill Project

Aruma completed the first pass RC drill program at its 100% owned Clinker Hill Project, P25/2201, 40km east of Kalgoorlie, which returned several highly anomalous significant (>5m at 0.2g/t gold) intersections over a 400m strike. A total of 11 holes for 1,476m were drilled in the program to investigate a strong >40ppb gold-in-soil anomaly which coincided with several dry blowing areas. The anomaly was continuous over >1,600m of strike and between 150m to 250m wide.

The drill results (Table 3) confirmed the soil anomaly and are from re-assaying the anomalous (>0.1g/t gold) 4m initial sample composites. They confirmed the wide intersections of sulphide-rich quartz carbonate lode material logged in the holes are mineralised with assays up to 1.69g/t gold.

Figure 13: RC drilling on geology at Clinker Hill with (yellow) gold mineralisation trends with possible extensions

The extension indicated by the arrow at the bottom of Figure 13 is generated from the magnetics and the anomaly in drill hole CHRC 1 in the composite sampling, which returned 4m at 0.1g/t Au from 4m. To secure the strong south-east magnetic extension, two new leases have been pegged to the east of the tenement (P25/2319 and 2320). This ground will allow for the continuity of the NNW-SSE trending gold lode defined by magnetics to be investigated and tested.

The Company has paid insurance premiums during the year in respect of liability for any past, present or future directors, secretary, officers and employees of the Company or related body corporate.

c. Adoption of new and revised standards (continued)

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities and introduces new rules for hedge accounting.

AASB 9 must be applied for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. Based on the transitional provisions in the completed IFRS 9, early adoption in phases was only permitted for annual reporting periods beginning before 1 February 2015. After that date, the new rules must be adopted in their entirety.

The standard is not expected to have a material impact on the group’s financial instruments.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

AASB has issued a new standard for the recognition of revenue. This will replace AASB 118 which covers contracts for goods and services and AASB 111 which covers construction contracts. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer – so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards.

The standard permits a modified retrospective approach for the adoption. Under this approach entities will recognise transitional adjustments in retained earnings on the date of initial application (eg 1 July 2018), i.e. without restating the comparative period. They will only need to apply the new rules to contracts that are not completed as of the date of initial application.

AASB 15 is mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. Management is currently assessing the impact of the new rules. At this stage, the group is not able to estimate the impact of the new rules on the group’s financial statements. The group will make more detailed assessments of the impact over the next twelve months.

d. Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of Aruma Resources Limited (“Company” or “Parent”) and its subsidiaries as at 30 June each year (the “Group”). Control is achieved where the Company has exposure to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and the power to affect those returns.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued

d. Basis of Consolidation (continued)

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Control exists where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing when the Group controls another entity.

Unrealised gains or transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interests in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets in subsidiaries not held by the Group and are presented separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position. Losses are attributed to the non-controlling interests even if that results in a deficit balance.

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised within equity attributable to owners of Aruma.

When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

e. Revenue recognition

Interest revenue

Interest revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Research & Development

Research and development (“R&D”) claims are recognised when the Company is notified that its R&D claim has been accepted.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statement continued

For the Year Ended 30 June 2015

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued

f. Plant & equipment

Items of plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation is charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a diminishing value basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows:

  • (i) Computer software 2.5 years (ii) Computer hardware 4 years (iii) Office equipment 5-7 years (iv) Field equipment 5 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.

g. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

h. Impairment

Non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”). The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

42 Aruma Resources Limited Annual Report 2015

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statement continued For the Year Ended 30 June 2015

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued

h. Impairment (continued)

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

i. Issued capital

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares are classified as issued capital. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

j. Employee benefits

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.

Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

Liabilities recognised in respect of long term employee benefits are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.

Contributions to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

k. Income tax

Income tax on the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the periods presented comprises current payable and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are not taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting, nor taxable profit and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

l. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered by a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

A provision is recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

m. Goods and services and tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) except:

  • i. where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or

  • ii. for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority is included as part of the receivables or payables.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investment or financing activities which is payable to or recoverable from, the taxation authority is classified within operating cash flows.

n. Exploration and evaluation

Exploration and evaluation costs, excluding the costs of acquiring licences, are expensed as incurred. Acquisition costs will be assessed on a case by case basis and, if appropriate, they will be capitalised. These acquisition costs are carried forward only if the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and either:

  • They are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest; or

  • The activities in the area of interest at the reporting date have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest is continuing.

Accumulated acquisition 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.

The carrying values of acquisition costs are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

o. Earnings per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes and share options granted to employees.

p. Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of Aruma.

q. Financial assets

All financial assets are recognised and derecognised on the trade date where the purchase or sale of a financial asset is under contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value.

Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ (“FVTPL”) ‘held to maturity’ investments, ‘available-for-sale’ (“AFS”) financial assets and ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

(i) Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on amounts paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as FVTPL.

(ii) Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as FVTPL.

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:

  • it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or

  • on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit taking; or

  • it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

  • such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

46 Aruma Resources Limited Annual Report 2015

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statement continued For the Year Ended 30 June 2015

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued

q. Financial assets (continued)

  • the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both which, is managed and its performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the Grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

  • it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives and AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the ‘other gains and losses’ line item in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Fair value is determined in the manner described in note 9.

(iii) AFS financial assets

Listed shares held by the Group that are traded in an active market are classified as AFS and are stated at fair value. Fair value is determined in the manner described in note 9. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and are accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve, with the exception of impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which are recognised in profit or loss. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividends on AFS equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established.

(iv) Loans and receivables

Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

(v) Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statement continued For the Year Ended 30 June 2015

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued

q. Financial assets (continued)

(v) Impairment of financial assets (continued)

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

When an AFS financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.

With the exception of AFS equity instruments, if, in the subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

In respect of AFS equity securities, impairment losses previously recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income.

r. Share-based payment transactions

(i) Equity settled transactions:

The Group provides benefits to directors and executives of the Group and to sponsoring brokers in the form of share-based payments, whereby directors, executives and brokers render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).

The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted.

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than market conditions, if applicable.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each balance date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued

r. Share-based payment transactions (continued)

(i) Equity settled transactions: (continued)

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

s. Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the period that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

t. Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised at their fair value or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the consolidated statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation.

Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the general policy on borrowing costs.

Finance lease assets are depreciated on a diminishing value basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

u. Financial position

The financial report is prepared on a going concern basis.

At the balance date, the Group had an excess of current assets over current liabilities of $761,434 (2014: $2,385,135). Notwithstanding this positive working capital position, the Group is reviewing its tenement holdings with a view to either a joint-venture, sale or relinquishing those holdings which are considered less prospective in order to preserve working capital over the next 12 months.

The Company is also in the process of lodging a 2015 R&D tax offset application which will provide further funding for the next 12 months.

2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION OF UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies which are described in note 1, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Share-based payment transactions:

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with directors and executives by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using an appropriate valuation model, using the assumptions detailed in note 23.

Exploration and evaluation costs carried forward

The recoverability of the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation costs carried forward has been reviewed by the directors. In conducting the review, the directors have elected for the acquisition of licence costs to be capitalised. All other exploration and evaluation costs are expensed during the period in which they are incurred.

Recovery of deferred tax assets

Significant management judgement has been effected to determine that no deferred tax assets be recognised.

Overview

The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:

  • Credit risk

  • Liquidity risk

  • Market risk

This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout this financial report.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through regular reviews of the risks.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from cash at bank.

Cash

The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by only investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have an acceptable credit rating. Cash and cash equivalents are held with ANZ Bank which is an Australian bank with an AA credit rating (Standard & Poor’s).

Trade and other receivables

As the Group operates in the mining exploration sector it does not have trade receivables and is therefore not exposed to credit risk in relation to trade receivables. Other receivables relate to GST input credits and interest accrued on cash held with banks.

Presently, the Group undertakes exploration and evaluation activities solely in Australia. At the balance date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk.

Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

Impairment losses

None of the Group’s trade and other receivables is past due.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.

Typically the Group ensures it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a minimum period of 90 days.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.

Currency risk

The Group is not exposed to any currency risk. All investments and purchases are denominated in Australian dollars.

AASB 8: Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

The Group’s operating segments have been determined with reference to the monthly management accounts used by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions regarding the Group’s operations and allocation of working capital.

Due to the size and nature of the Group, the Board as a whole has been determined as the chief operating decision maker.

27. SEGMENT INFORMATION (continued)

The Group operates in one business segment and one geographical segment, namely mineral exploration industry in Australia only. AASB 8: Operating Segments states that similar operating segments can be aggregated to form one reportable segment. Also, based on the quantitative thresholds included in AASB 8, there is only one reportable segment, namely mineral exploration industry. However, none of the other operating segments currently meet any of the prescribed quantitative thresholds, and as such do not have to be reported separately. The Group has therefore decided to aggregate all their segments into one reportable operating segment.

The revenues and results of this segment are those of the Group as a whole and are set out in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The segment assets and liabilities of this segment are those of the Group and are set out in the statement of financial position.

28. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE

Subsequent to the reporting date there have been no material events.

No dividends were paid or declared by the Company during the year or since the end of the year.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Aruma Resources Limited

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Aruma Resources Limited which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015 the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory information 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 the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report.

In making those risk assessments, we consider internal controls 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 controls. 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 opinion.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Aruma Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
