Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

The past year has seen BPH Energy make notable developments with its biotechnology assets and significantly increase its investment in oil and gas explorer Advent Energy Ltd.

Following shareholder, ASX and regulatory approval, BPH Energy acquired a further 8% in the share capital of unlisted energy explorer Advent Energy to increase its holding to 27.4%.

Advent Energy achieved its objective of increasing its interest to 85% of Petroleum Exploration Permit PEP11 – a substantial exploration permit prospective for natural gas located in the Offshore Sydney Basin. Under the terms of Advent’s farmin to PEP11 with its joint venture partner Bounty Oil and Gas NL (Bounty), Advent (through wholly owned subsidiary Asset Energy Pty Ltd) increased its interest in PEP11 from 25% to 85% by sole funding the drilling of an exploration well within the permit. Bounty thereby reduced its interest in PEP11 to 15%.

==> picture [213 x 310] intentionally omitted <==

This was achieved following the drilling of Advent’s maiden offshore exploration well. New Seaclem-1 spudded in December 2010 and concluded in January 2011. Although no hydrocarbons were encountered operations were conducted incident free and on schedule. The joint venture partners have committed to continuing active exploration of this vast petroleum asset, with the future plans including further seismic and exploration drilling.

Dr Robin Scaife, Principal Scientist

During the period, Molecular Discovery Systems Ltd (MDSystems) Principal Researcher Dr Robin Scaife identified potentially new anti-mitotic microtubule candidate compounds through the screening process at MDSystems. These early stage candidates have been demonstrated to target cancer cell proliferation specifically through mitotic inhibition.

In most recent developments, Cortical Dynamics commenced its initial public offering (IPO) and has applied for admission to the Official List of the Australian Securities Exchange.

We thank you for your support and look forward to another exciting year in 2012.

Cortical Dynamics continued to further develop its Brain Anaesthesia Monitoring (BAR) device with six complete BAR monitors being produced during the year. End to end trials using the hypnotic agent Benzodiazepine Alprazolam were completed. The study demonstrated that the major components of the BAR system were capable of robustly replicating the well known pharmaco-EEG phenomena of benzodiazepine agents, the benzodiazepineinduced “beta buzz”.

Yours Sincerely,

Mr David Breeze Chairman

PEP11 Oil and Gas Permit

Advent achieved the objective of increasing its interest to 85% of Petroleum Exploration Permit PEP11 – an exploration permit prospective for natural gas located in the Offshore Sydney Basin. This was achieved following the drilling of Advent’s maiden offshore exploration well. New Seaclem-1 spudded in December 2010 and was concluded in January 2011. Operations were conducted incident free and on schedule. Under the terms of Advent’s farmin to PEP11 with joint venture partner Bounty Oil and Gas NL (Bounty), Advent (through wholly owned subsidiary Asset Energy Pty Ltd) increased its interest in PEP11 from 25% to 85% by sole funding the drilling of an exploration well within the permit. Bounty thereby reduced its interest in PEP11 to 15%.

Covered by PEP11, a 200km long, 8,250km[2] permit, the Offshore Sydney Basin is a significant exploration area with large scale structuring and potentially multi-Trillion cubic feet (Tcf) gas charged Permo-Triassic reservoirs.

health[n] technology[n] resources

The prospectivity of this proven petroleum basin has been enhanced by the confirmation of the presence of apparent ongoing hydrocarbon seeps. Sub-bottom profile data, swath bathymetry, seismic and echosounder data collected by Geoscience Australia along the continental slope / permit margin has demonstrated active erosional features in conjunction with geophysical indications of gas escape.

Advent has previously interpreted significant seismically indicated gas features. Key indicators of hydrocarbon accumulation features have been interpreted following review of the 2004 seismic data, reprocessed in 2010. The seismic features include apparent Hydrocarbon Related Diagenetic Zones (HRDZ), Amplitude Versus Offset (AVO) anomalies and potential flat spots.

Mapped prospects and leads within the Offshore Sydney Basin are generally located less than 50km from Australia’s largest energy market, the SydneyWollongong-Newcastle greater metropolitan area. This area has a population of approximately 5,000,000 people. Traditionally, all natural gas used in New South Wales has been piped in from South Australia and the Bass Strait. However, studies by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARE) and the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association (APPEA) state that those sources may not be able to meet the demand for gas in the medium to longer term.

Although there have been over a thousand wells drilled in offshore Australia, Advent was the first ever company to conduct a petroleum exploration drilling exercise in the Offshore Sydney Basin. The New Seaclem-1 well concluded in January 2011. The well obtained a significant volume of valuable and new information about the offshore Sydney Basin – a previously unexplored area off NSW. Hydrocarbons were not recorded. Included in these discoveries was the identification of reservoir rocks consisting of high porosity tertiary sandstones. One such sandstone was interpreted to comprise 40 metres thickness with an average porosity of 30%, with considerable thickening updip potential for future exploration.

Other interpretations derived from the drilling of New Seaclem-1 included sedimentary age dating and hydrocarbon maturity through palynological studies. Results of these studies demonstrated that the sediments were of Early Permian age below the Unconformity separating these sediments and the Cainozoic seabed sediments. These sediments likely correspond with the Branxton Formation. In addition, these Early Permian sediments have been demonstrated to be mature for hydrocarbons.

Advent has demonstrated considerable gas generation and migration elsewhere within PEP11, with the previously observed mapped prospects and leads remaining highly prospective for gas.

Advent and its Joint Venture (JV) partner are discussing the future exploration programme in PEP11 with the excellent foundation of information obtained from New Seaclem-1. The JV is well positioned for future drilling having completed pre-drilling site surveys over four locations in June 2010. These are likely to be enhanced by 3D seismic acquisition prior to further exploration drilling. Details of future works will be advised in due course.

Northern Territory/Western Australia – Onshore Bonaparte Basin

Advent holds 100% of each of EP386 and RL1 in the onshore Bonaparte Basin in northern Australia. The Bonaparte Basin is a hydrocarbon-bearing sedimentary basin straddling the border between the Northern Territory (NT) and Western Australia (WA). Most of the basin is located offshore, covering 250,000 square kilometres, compared to just over 20,000 square kilometres onshore.

In April 2011, Advent successfully renewed EP386 for a further 5 year term.

Advent holds Exploration Permit EP386 (2,568 square kilometres in area) which covers the Western Australian section of the onshore Bonaparte Basin. Since 1960 twelve wells have been drilled in or near EP386 and only sixteen in the whole of the onshore basin. Six exploration wells are classified as gas discoveries. The tenements contain five gas fields which could be advanced to commercial status with

additional work, in particular the Garimala Gas Field which may have an areal extent of more than 10km[2] and could trap more than 25 Bcf OGIP. The main exploration target has been sandstone within a late Devonian-early Carboniferous sequence. This thick marine shale dominated sequence is interpreted to be the main source rock sequence for the greater Bonaparte Basin, including the offshore portion where gas resources have been identified.

Three gas discoveries have been made along the western edge of the basin, in an area characterised by a structural-stratigraphic trapping and active migration known as the Waggon Creek Embayment. In EP386 the three main discoveries made so far, Vienta, Waggon Creek and Bonaparte, contain possible recoverable gas resources of 8 Bcf, 12 Bcf and 4 Bcf, respectively.

Waggon Creek-1, drilled in 1995, and Vienta-1, drilled in 1998, provided strong evidence of significant sweet gas-charged stratigraphic traps with fair to good quality sandstone reservoris within the upper Milligans Formation. Preliminary reviews have indicated that:

  • potential gas resources could be significantly higher than previously estimated;

  • severe formation damages due to fines migration may have masked the true gas flow rate potential;

  • true flow rate could be significantly higher than the calculated undamaged reservoir flow rates as experienced in similarly damaged reservoirs elsewhere in Australia and internationally; and

  • there is strong evidence from the pressure data that there is considerable upside potential in the area if formation damage can be avoided.

Previous logging of Waggon Creek-1 indicated that it contains 28.5m of gross hydrocarbon bearing sandstone with an average log porosity of 22%. Drill stem testing demonstrated flow rates of over 1.3 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day, including the recovery of oil of 31° API.

Drilling of Vienta-1 in 1998 demonstrated numerous gas shows within Enga Sandstone units, with dry gas flowed to surface and visual porosity described in the cuttings. A gas show was encountered whilst drilling in Enga shales, resulting in the well being shut in after taking a significant kick (spike in pressure). The well was flowing and gas was flared while circulating out the kick. The early onset of the wet season resulted in early termination of the programme before the Vienta-1 well could be tested.

Both Waggon Creek-1 and Vienta-1 were cased and suspended for future production.

Advent has been preparing to perform workover and production tests on Waggon Creek-1 and Vienta-1 this dry season. The exceptional late wet season experienced around March 2011 hampered early efforts to access the sites, though Advent is on track for these activities to be achieved this dry season.

In the NT, Advent holds Retention Licence RL1 (166 square kilometres in area), which covers the Weaber Gas Field which was originally discovered in 1985.

During the year, Advent undertook a review of all available well data from the Weaber wells, reprocessed all available seismic data covering the Weaber Gas Field and re-mapped the field. An independent resource audit was completed by respected petroleum industry consulting firm RISC Pty Ltd.

Advent has advised that the 2C Contingent Resources* for the Weaber Gas Field in RL1 are 11.5 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas following an independent audit by RISC. Significant upside 3C Contingent Resources of 45.8 Bcf have also been assessed by RISC.

Achieving the resources upgrade has been a major milestone for Advent, and is one of the first steps in unlocking substantial value as Advent moves forward to commercialise its onshore Bonaparte Basin assets.

The current rapid development of the Kununurra region in northern Western Australia, including the Ord River Irrigation Area phase 2, the township of Kununurra, and numerous regional resource projects provides an exceptional opportunity for Advent to potentially develop its nearby gas resources.

Advent believes the Ord Expansion project will impact positively on EP386.

The Department of State Development (WA) has described the Ord-East Kimberley Expansion Project as a nation building project to create stronger, sustainable regional communities in the East Kimberley. The $415 million investment includes:

$195 million from the Commonwealth Government for the East Kimberley Development Package, and $220 million from the WA Government for the Ord Irrigation Expansion Project.

health[n] technology[n] resources

The initial phase of works is currently underway north of Kununurra and adjacent to Advent’s EP386 permit. The current Ord expansion project will bring road infrastructure to within 15 kilometres of Advent’s Vienta-1 gas well in EP386 and will allow for the development of Advent’s onshore Bonaparte Basin gas assets. The construction of all-weather sealed roads within the Ord phase two project provides for suitable infrastructure developments to support a commercial development of the field.

These important investments by the Commonwealth and WA governments provide the impetus for Advent to pursue its objective of developing its wholly owned petroleum resources within EP386 and RL1. Significantly, these investments will impact markedly on the energy requirements of the Kununurra region which is currently supplied by hydroelectricity from the Lake Argyle hydroelectric facility and diesel power generation.

Advent is in an exceptional position where it remains the operator and 100% owner of the only petroleum permits in the vicinity of this region.

Western Australia – Exmouth Sub-Basin (EP325) Advent has an 8.3% interest (Permit Operator: Strike Energy Ltd) in a shallow, near shore permit in the Exmouth sub-Basin region of the Carnarvon Basin, which contains the undeveloped Rivoli Gas Field. The Rivoli Gas Field contains approximately 6.8 – 18 PJ of gas. The permit also contains the Rivoli Deep prospect and other leads. The Joint Venture is in ongoing discussions with The Department of Defence and Exmouth Power regarding potential gas supply.

Central Australia – Amadeus, Pedirka, Basins

Advent holds a large shareholding in Australian onshore hydrocarbon explorer Central Petroleum Ltd (ASX: CTP). Central Petroleum is actively exploring in its exploration tenements that cover approximately 270,000km[2] of central Australia.

Advent has reserved its right to claim damages from Central Petroleum Ltd and its subsidiaries following repudiatory breach of contract regarding farmin by Advent to Central’s permits.

Molecular Discovery Systems

Novel Anti-Microtubule Cancer Therapeutics

A team of expert cancer cell biology researchers at Molecular Discovery Systems (MDSystems) Limited have used state-of-the-art technology to screen synthetic molecules and natural extracts for new anti-cancer drugs. Using high-content imaging and computational analyses, these drug screening efforts have now yielded several new compounds that potentially inhibit cancer cell proliferation.

One of these new anti-proliferative compounds, discovered by MDSystems cancer cell biology researcher Dr Robin Scaife, has undergone considerable development toward pre-clinical testing of anti-cancer activity. Detailed analyses of chemical analogues of the new drug have yielded a new compound that exhibits nearly 1000 times the biological activity of the initial entity derived by the primary screening process.

The new compound has undergone extensive in-vitro testing and has been shown to have substantial tumour inhibitory activity in preliminary animal testing. This compound is currently being optimised through successive rounds of medicinal chemistry. MDSystems will continue to focus on this novel anti-microtubule drug in preparation for preclinical studies.

The inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of cancer cell death is due to the anti-mitotic activity of these new drugs. Anti-mitotic drugs, such as the blockbuster microtubule cancer drug Taxol®, have long been considered to be among the most

==> picture [211 x 193] intentionally omitted <==

clinically important cancer drugs discovered to date[[1]] , generating revenue well in excess of one billion USD/yr[[2]] ,[[3]] . More recently, it has been recognised that some of these microtubule drugs also selectively target the tumour vasculature. Since targeting of the tumour vasculature causes rapid tumour shrinkage, a number of new microtubule drugs have been developed in recent years by a range of pharmaceutical companies. In light of encouraging initial clinical results, these new microtubule drugs are currently undergoing extensive testing for anti-cancer activity in humans[[4]] . The microtubule perturbing compounds recently discovered by researchers at MDSystems clearly show the potential to join this class of highlypromising new anti-cancer drugs.

An exceptional opportunity exists for a drug development company to participate in this lead compound development program.

Dr Robin Scaife has been awarded funding from the Scott Kirkbride Melanoma Research Centre (SKMRC) to spearhead a melanoma drug discovery programme. Although melanomas have a reputation for being particularly refractory to therapeutic intervention, some types of melanoma have recently been shown to respond well to a new class of customised cancer drugs. Dr Scaife and his collaborators at the Western Australian Institute of Medical Research (WAIMR) and the University of Western Australia will use the high-content imaging and analysis platform at MDSystems to screen an arsenal of recently synthesised drug-like molecules for inhibitors of melanoma cell survival and proliferation.

Drug Discovery and High-Content Screening Technology

MDSystems has core expertise in high-content and high-throughput imaging and analysis, providing services for researchers worldwide. The MDSystems owned IN Cell Analyser 1000 (GE Healthcare) is a semi-automated cellular imaging and analysis platform that combines high-resolution imaging and high-content analysis to provide a technology that rapidly detects and quantifies cellular properties much faster than conventional methods. MDSystems has developed and applied a range of high-content analysis protocols to analyse diverse

cellular processes such as cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, apoptosis, cytoskeletal changes and dynamics of intracellular organelles.

A recently synthesized collection of novel druglike molecules is available at MDSystems for High-Content Screening (HCS). High-throughput screening (HTS) of chemical libraries is widely regarded as the most efficient and cost effective approach to finding hits in early drug discovery. In light of the success of HTS in drug discovery, this technology has recently been developed to include high-content imaging and analysis. By providing access to pathways and phenotypic screening, HCS permits identification of modulators of a multitude of intractable molecular and cellular targets.

The screening compounds at MDSystems are based on novel and relatively complex chemical scaffolds that have been designed to have desirable pharmaceutical properties. By permitting analysis of complex cellular properties, the IN Cell Analyser 1000 at MDSystems is ideally suited for screening of these chemical resources for new pharmaceutical leads.

MDSystems is currently utilising the IN Cell Analyser 1000 for in-house screening of new lead molecules for drug development. In addition to the in-house drug discovery efforts, MDSystems is actively seeking high-content screening contracts.

HLS5 Technology

MDSystems is working with Professor Peter Klinken and his team at the Western Australian Institute for Medical Research (WAIMR) to develop and validate HLS5 as a novel tumour suppressor gene. A concerted research effort by leading Australian scientists has revealed that HLS5 works through multiple pathways that may target cancer as well as a range of other diseases such as Huntington’s, Parkinson’s and HIV infection.

The team at WAIMR have uncovered a role for HLS5 in leukaemia and breast cancer, and during that process they also noticed that the gene interacts with a number of key proteins involved in one of the known growth pathways associated with melanoma. They have been able to demonstrate that HLS5 associates with proteins that are able to regulate the growth and migration of melanoma cells.

The HLS5 team were awarded a grant from the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). The grant entitled ‘Characterisation of haemopoietic lineage determining genes’, will provide funding until 2012. The research conducted under this grant will continue to look at the role of HLS5 in blood cell development, leukaemia and cancer.

Of particular significance were the findings of an independent study published in Hepatology[1] , which concluded that reduced HLS5 levels were shown to correlate with worse tumour grade, increased tumour size and elevated serum AFP

levels, a marker of liver cancer. The results of this study indicate that the loss of HLS5 expression is a critical event in the development and progression of liver cancer. This independent study greatly supports the research by MDSystems and WAIMR on the HLS5 tumour suppressor gene.

MDSystems has exclusive rights to the tumour suppressor gene HLS5 both as a potential therapeutic target and also underpinning its involvement in a variety of disease pathways. The patent portfolio surrounding HLS5 is currently going through the various stages of the patent application process in Australia, Europe, Japan and the US. The patent “Tumour Suppressor Factor” has been issued as a patent in the United States of America and Australia.

Cortical Dynamics

BAR Technology

Cortical Dynamics is working with BPH and Swinburne University of Technology (SUT) to develop and commercialise a unique depth of anaesthesia monitoring system for use during major surgery. The core technology is based on real time analysis of the patients electroencephalograph (EEG) using a proprietary algorithm based on a mathematically and physiologically detailed understanding of the brain’s rhythmic electrical activity.

12 bph energy | a n n u a l r e p o r t 2011

health[n] technology[n] resources

The theory was developed by Associate Professor David Liley who heads the scientific team at Cortical Dynamics, and, for the first time, provides a meaningful way of relating brain electrical activity to the underlying physiological processes that generate it. Cortical Dynamics is confident that the resulting Brain Anaesthesia Response (BAR) analysis methodology and index will be a more sensitive measure of the state of the brain during anaesthesia than the current alternatives. Alternative technologies are based on detecting empirical correlations between subjective assessments of the level of consciousness and a range of parameters derived from the quantitative analysis of EEG. This brain activity monitor also has potential in neurodiagnostic applications, including the detection of the early onset of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and in drug monitoring associated with these conditions.

Cortical Dynamics core technology can be used to monitor a number of clinical processes. The BAR monitor has been developed by Cortical Dynamics to detect the effect of anaesthetic agents on brain activity and assist anaesthetists in keeping patients optimally anaesthetised. The research funded through the NHMRC Development Grant has enabled substantial improvements in the performance of the BAR monitor. In particular, it has resulted in the development of a modified sensor layout having improved performance and sensitivity, as well as an upgrade of the data acquisition module to enable a greater resilience to the effects of noise and artefact in a range of clinical monitoring situations.

The Cortical Dynamics team have completed two clinical trials at The Royal Melbourne Hospital. The first trial was designed to test the sensitivity of a new method in quantifying the effect various levels of nitrous oxide have on measures of anaesthetic depth. The results were published in the peer reviewed international journal Computers in Biology and Medicine. The second trial was designed to evaluate the sensitivity of the BAR methodology to opioids and other intravenous anaesthetic drugs. These trials have provided evidence that the BAR algorithm is more sensitive than competitive monitors in detecting the effects of anaesthetics on brain activity.

Cortical Dynamics has analysed a comprehensive data set obtained from leading European collaborators. The analysis of this European data set using the BAR methodology unambiguously indicated that the effects of remifentanil (a powerful synthetic opioid) and propofol (a widely used intravenous general anaesthetic agent) on brain electrical activity can be differentiated. These results suggest that analgesia and anaesthesia may be monitored independently using the EEG. The results of this analysis have been presented at the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA), and also published in the prestigious journal Anesthesiology in 2010.

Recently, Cortical Dynamics completed a study of the major components of the Brain Anaesthesia Response (BAR) monitoring system. The aim of the study was to verify the performance of the BAR system by evaluating the performance of all the signal gathering and analysing components with the BAR system. The trial examined the effects of the hypnotic agent Benzodiazepine Alprazolam on the EEG of ten healthy individuals. The study demonstrated that the major components of the BAR system were capable of robustly replicating the well documented EEG phenomena of benzodiazepine agents, the benzodiazepineinduced “beta-buzz”. The replication of this well documented phenomenon indicates that the BAR hardware and software are functioning correctly. The study provides the necessary verification of the major components of the BAR system for it to be used in the planned clinical studies.

The next planned study will be to further validate the BAR monitoring system in an anticipated 20 person clinical trial, a progressive step in what has already been a methodical validation process.

The strategic focus for Cortical Dynamics is to validate the BAR systems measurement and monitoring of depth of anaesthesia and to complete development of market ready stand alone products and modules that integrate with market leading holistic patient monitoring systems. Cortical Dynamics will continue to explore collaborative arrangements such as those with the European researchers to facilitate development and commercialisation of the technology.

BAR Technology (continued)

As previously mentioned the BAR technology also has many other emerging applications, including neurodiagnostics pain response monitoring and neuropharmaceutical drug evaluation, which will be developed subsequent to the depth of anaesthesia monitoring system reaching the market.

Cortical Dynamics has 4 patent families currently going through the various stages of the patent application process in Australia, Europe, China, Japan, New Zealand and the US. Cortical Dynamics has an additional 5th patent application which has entered the PCT application pathway. “Method of monitoring brain function” has been issued as a patent in New Zealand (541615), Australia (2004206763), Japan (4693763) and the United States (10542549). Additionally, the patent “Brain Function Monitoring and Display System” has been issued in the People’s Republic of China (101528121) and New Zealand (573460).

In most recent developments, Cortical Dynamics commenced its initial public offering (IPO) and has applied for admission to the Official List of the Australian Securities Exchange.

Amongst all infectious diseases, respiratory are the most common illnesses in the world. They are highly contagious and are easily spread. The disease causing bacteria can remain in the air where they can easily reach other individuals by inhalation. The number of patients suffering from respiratory infections is increasing, as is the number of deaths caused by these diseases. DAS has completed their research with in-house validation and have been in discussions with third parties to license the technology.

BPH has assisted with funding the development of BacTrak™ which includes a number of key features that underpin its commercial potential. These include:

  • Rapid simultaneous detection of 16 respiratory pathogens including Tuberculosis (TB), Legionella, and Methycillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA).

  • Results within hours rather than days using the current culture gold standard.

  • Sensitivity and positive confirmation for the 16 pathogens from easily obtained clinical sputum samples.

Diagnostic Array Systems

Diagnostic Array Systems (DAS) has created the BacTrak™ System which is a diagnostic test for the detection of respiratory infections (e.g. diagnosis of pneumonia, Tuberculosis (TB) and Legionella disease). The DAS system identifies the cause of disease by testing for multiple bacteria in a single sputum sample quickly, efficiently and more accurately than current techniques. The test has important implications for the clinical management of infectious diseases by identifying the specific bacteria responsible for a disease and suggesting the most effective therapy. Utilisation of the novel test is intended to provide more information, more quickly, than alternative methods. It has the potential to accelerate therapeutic treatment, lead to a reduction in hospitalisations and help reduce the overuse of antibiotics.

Direct benefits from the project development include:

  • Earlier, pathogen specific treatment;

  • Shorter length of hospital stay;

  • Earlier potential isolation of hospital patients; and

  • Reduction in the over-prescription of broadspectrum antibiotics.

The core technology underlying this multiplexed screening is progressing through the various stages of the application process in Australia, Canada, China, Europe, Japan and the US.

Principal Activities

Exploration

Advent Energy Limited:

BPH Energy currently holds an interest of 27.4% in unlisted Australian exploration company Advent Energy Limited (“Advent”).

Advent has assembled a range of hydrocarbon permits which contain near term production opportunities with pre-existing infrastructure and exploration upside.

Advent’s assets include EP386 and RL1 (100%) in the onshore Bonaparte Basin in the north of Western Australia and Northern Territory, PEP11 (85%) in the offshore Sydney Basin and EP325 (8.3%) in the Exmouth Sub-basin of the Carnarvon Basin near Exmouth in WA. Advent’s portfolio of assets has an estimated AUD 156m invested historically on exploration.

A mean contingent Resource of 18.4 Bcf for the Weaber Gas Field (RL1) has recently been assessed, by an independent third party as a component of Advent’s drive to commercialise its 100% owned onshore Bonaparte Basin assets. The current rapid development of the Kununurra region in northern Western Australia, including the Ord Irrigation Expansion Project and numerous resource projects, provides an exceptional opportunity for Advent to potentially develop its nearby gas resources for the benefit of the region along with Advent and its shareholders.

The Sydney Basin is a proven petroleum basin with excellent potential for the discovery of gas and oil. The demonstration of an active hydrocarbon system with seeps reported in the offshore area and sampling indicated the presence of thermogenic hydrocarbon gas; this is considered to occur in basins actively generating hydrocarbons and / or that contain excellent migration pathways. Drilling during the period has shown that the early Permian geological sequence is mature for hydrocarbons. Whilst no hydrocarbons were encountered at prognosed target horizons reservoir quality sandstones of considerable thickness were observed. Invaluable information was obtained from the drilling that will allow Advent to further assess the numerous prospects and leads within PEP11.

Undiscovered prospective recoverable gas resources for structural targets within the PEP11 offshore permit have been estimated at 6 trillion cubic feet (at the P50 level) or up to 23.5 Tcf on a probabilistic mean calculation. PEP11 lies adjacent to the most populous region of Australia and the major industrial hub of Newcastle where LNG production facilities are mooted for development (independently of Advent).

Biotechnology:

BPH Energy’s existing Biotechnology investments include its 3.89% interest in Cortical Dynamics Ltd; 51.82% interest in Diagnostic Array Systems Pty Ltd and 20% interest in Molecular Discovery Systems Ltd.

Directors’ Report

Biotechnology (continued):

Molecular Discovery Systems Limited (‘MDSystems’)

Drug Discovery:

MDSystems is currently utilising the IN Cell Analyser 1000 for in-house screening of new molecules for drug development. The IN Cell Analyser is ideally suited for screening of chemical compounds that modulate complex cellular responses.

MDSystems has also discovered a new antimicrotubule compound. This compound has undergone extensive in-vitro testing and has been shown to have substantial tumour inhibitory activity in preliminary animal testing. This compound is currently being optimised through successive rounds of medicinal chemistry.

MDSystems will continue to focus on this novel antimicrotubule drug, in addition to developing its drug discovery resources and drug candidate pipeline.

HLS5 Project:

MDSystems is working with the Western Australian Institute for Medical Research (‘WAIMR’) to develop and validate HLS5 as a novel tumour suppressor gene. A concerted research effort by leading Australian scientists has revealed that HLS5 works through multiple pathways that may target cancer as well as a range of other diseases such as Huntington’s, Parkinson’s and HIV infection.

MDSystems has developed an extensive patent portfolio and has exclusive rights to the tumour suppressor gene HLS5, both as a potential therapeutic target and also underpinning its involvement in a variety of disease pathways.

Cortical Dynamics Limited (‘Cortical Dynamics’):

Cortical Dynamics is working with BPH Energy and Swinburne University of Technology (‘SUT’) to develop and commercialise a unique depth of anaesthesia monitoring system for use during major surgery. The core technology is based on real time analysis of the patients electroencephalograph (EEG) using a proprietary algorithm based on a mathematically and physiologically detailed understanding of the brain’s rhythmic electrical activity.

The Cortical Dynamics team lead by Associate Professor David Liley has analysed a comprehensive data set obtained from Europe using the Brain Anaesthesia Response (“BAR”) methodology. The detailed results were published in the prestigious peer-reviewed international Journal of Anesthesiology, Liley et al, 2010, Propfol and Remifentanil Differentially Modulate Frontal Electroencephalographic Activity, 113:292-304. With the paper indicating the potential for the BAR methodology to separately monitor hypnotic and analgesic state. At present there is no known EEG monitor based depth of anaesthesia monitoring approach that is able to achieve this.

Associate Professor David Liley was a keynote speaker at the Memory and Awareness in Anesthesia Symposium (MAA8) in June 2011, Milwaukee. The symposium brings together clinical and research anaesthesiologists, cognitive and clinical psychologist, neuroscientists, nurses and other related fields from all over the world.

Cortical Dynamics has applied for admission to the Official List of the Australian Securities Exchange Limited.

Diagnostic Array Systems (DAS)

Diagnostic Array Systems (DAS) is working with BPH Energy and RMIT University to develop and commercialise BacTrak™, a diagnostic tool that will enable pathology laboratories and the emergency departments of hospitals to provide patients with fast and accurate identification of disease causing bacteria from a single sputum sample. The test has important implications for the clinical management of infectious diseases by identifying the specific bacteria responsible for a disease. Utilisation of the novel test is intended to provide more information, more quickly, than alternative methods. It has the potential to accelerate therapeutic treatment, lead to a reduction in hospitalisations and help reduce the overuse of antibiotics.

Directors’ Report

Remuneration Report

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of BPH Energy Limited, and for the executives receiving the highest remuneration.

D L Breeze – Executive Chairman H Goh – Non-Executive Director G Gilbert – Non-Executive Director D Ambrosini – Executive Director and Company Secretary

Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy of BPH Energy Limited has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives as determined by the board and/or shareholders. The board believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the economic entity, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.

The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the economic entity is as follows:

  • The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed and approved by the board after seeking professional advice from independent external consultants.

  • All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits, options and performance incentives.

  • The board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the economic entity’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.

The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed biannually with each executive and is based predominantly on the amount of their workloads and responsibilities for the company. The board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options, and can recommend changes to recommendations. Any changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements.

The executive directors and executives which receive salaries receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits.

Shares given to directors and executives 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 BlackScholes methodology.

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The remuneration committee determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the economic entity. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company and are able to participate in the employee option plan.

The board does not have a policy in relation to the limiting of risk to directors and executives in relation to the shares and options provided.

Company performance, shareholder wealth and director and executive remuneration

The following table shows the gross revenue and the operating result for the last 5 years for the listed entity, as well as the share price at the end of the respective financial years. Analysis of the actual figures shows an increase in the revenue from the previous year with a decrease in the loss in the current year. The board is of the opinion that the increase in the share price is attributable to the recent diversification of the company’s assets through the purchase of a $12.8M investment in unlisted oil and gas explorer Advent Energy Ltd.

The board continues to review the framework and practices to ensure they meet the interests of shareholders. The company and its controlled entities together are referred to as the Group in this statement.

Composition Of The Board

The composition of the Board is determined in accordance with the following principles and guidelines:

  • the Board should comprise a majority or at least 50% of the Board will be independent non-executive directors;

  • the Board should have at least one director with an appropriate range of qualifications and expertise; and

  • the Board shall meet at regular intervals and follow meeting guidelines set down to ensure all directors are made aware of, and have available all necessary information, to participate in an informed discussion of all agenda items.

When a vacancy exists, through whatever cause, or where it is considered that the Board would benefit from the service of a new director with particular skills, the Board selects a candidate or panel of candidates with the appropriate expertise.

The Board then appoints the most suitable candidate, who must stand for election at the next general meeting of shareholders. The Company does not have a formal Nomination Committee.

Remuneration And Nomination Committees

The Company does not have a formal Remuneration or Nomination Committee. The full Board attends to the matters normally attended to by a Remuneration Committee and a Nomination committee. Remuneration levels are set by the Company in accordance with industry standards to attract suitable qualified and experienced Directors and senior executives.

Corporate Governance Statement

Audit Committee

The Company does not have a formal Audit Committee. The full Board carried out the functions of an Audit Committee. Due to the status of the Company and the relatively straight forward accounts of the Company anticipated in the financial year, the Directors believe that at the moment there would be no additional benefits obtained by establishing such a committee. The Board follows the Audit Committee Charter, a copy of which is available on request.

Board Responsibilities

As the Board acts on behalf of and is accountable to the shareholders, it seeks to identify the expectations of the shareholders, as well as other regulatory and ethical expectations and obligations. In addition, the Board is responsible for identifying areas of significant business risk and ensuring arrangements are in place to adequately manage those risks. The Board seeks to discharge these responsibilities in a number of ways.

The responsibility for the operation and administration of the economic entity is delegated by the Board to the Managing Director. The Board ensures that the Managing Director is appropriately qualified and experienced to discharge his responsibilities, and has in place procedures to assess the performance for the Company’s officers, employees, contractors and consultants.

The Board is responsible for ensuring that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the expectations and risks identified by the Board. It has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure this is achieved, including the following:

  • Board approval of a strategic plan, designed to meet shareholder needs and manage business risk;

  • Implementation of operating plans and budgets by management and Board monitoring progress against budget;

  • Procedures to allow directors, in the furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense.

Monitoring of the Board’s Performance

In order to ensure that the Board continues to discharge its responsibilities in an appropriate manner, the performance of all directors is to be reviewed annually by the chairperson. Directors whose performance is unsatisfactory are asked to retire.

Best Practice Recommendation

Outlined below are the 8 Essential Corporate Governance Principles as outlined by the ASX and the Corporate Governance Council. The Company has complied with the Corporate Governance Best Practice Recommendations except as identified below.

Action taken and reasons if not adopted

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

The relationship between the board and senior management is critical to the Group’s long-term success. The directors are responsible to the shareholders for the performance of the Group in both the short and the longer term and seek to balance sometimes competing objectives in the best interests of the Group as a whole. Their focus is to enhance the interests of shareholders and other key stakeholders and to ensure the Group is properly managed.

The responsibilities of the board include:

  • providing strategic guidance to the Group including contributing to the development of and approving the corporate strategy;

  • reviewing and approving business plans, and financial plans including major capital expenditure initiatives;

  • overseeing and monitoring:

  • organisational performance and the achievement of the Group’s strategic goals and objectives and

  • progress of major capital expenditures and other significant corporate projects including any acquisitions or divestments

  • monitoring financial performance including approval of the annual and half-year financial reports;

  • appointment, performance assessment and, if necessary, removal of the Managing Director;

  • ratifying the appointment and/or removal and contributing to the performance assessment for the members of the senior management team including the CFO and the Company Secretary;

  • ensuring there are effective management processes in place and approving major corporate initiatives;

  • enhancing and protecting the reputation of the organization;

  • overseeing the operation of the Group’s system for compliance and risk management reporting to shareholders;

Day to day management of the Group’s affairs and the implementation of the corporate strategy and policy initiatives are formally delegated by the board to the Managing Director and senior executives.

Corporate Governance Statement

Action taken and reasons if not adopted

Principle 2: Structure the board to add value

The board operates in accordance with the broad principles set out in its charter. The charter details the board’s composition and responsibilities.

The board seeks to ensure that :

  • at any point in time, its membership represents an appropriate balance between directors with experience and knowledge of the Group and directors with an external or fresh perspective; and

  • the size of the board is conducive to effective discussion and efficient decision-making.

Directors’ independence

The board has adopted specific principles in relation to directors’ independence. These state that when determining independence, a director must be a non-executive and the board should consider whether the director:

  • is a substantial shareholder of the company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the company;

  • is or has been employed in an executive capacity by the company or any other Group member within three years before commencing to serve on the board;

  • within the last three years has been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the company or any other Group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided;

  • has a material contractual relationship with the company or a controlled entity other than as a director of the Group;

  • is free from any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director’s independent exercise of their judgement.

Materiality for these purposes is determined on both quantitative and qualitative bases. A transaction of any amount or a relationship is deemed material if knowledge of it may impact the shareholders’ understanding of the director’s performance.

The board assesses independence each year. To enable this process, the directors must provide all information that may be relevant to the assessment.

Board members

Details of the members of the board, their experience, expertise, qualifications, term of office, relationships affecting their independence and their independent status are set out in the directors’ report under the heading ‘’Information on directors’’. At the date of signing the directors’ report, there are two non-executive directors and two executive directors, three of whom have no relationships adversely affecting independence and so are deemed independent under the principles set out above.

  • Mr Breeze has business dealings with the Group as disclosed in note 25 to the financial report. However, these are not of a value or significance that adversely affect the directors’ independence.

health[n] technology[n] resources

Action taken and reasons if not adopted

Term of office

The company’s Constitution specifies that all non-executive directors must retire from office no later than the third annual general meeting (AGM) following their last election. Where eligible, a director may stand for re-election, subject to the following limitations:

  • on attaining the age of 72 years a director will retire, by agreement, at the next AGM and will not seek re-election.

Chair and Managing Director

The Chair is responsible for leading the board, ensuring directors are properly briefed in all matters relevant to their role and responsibilities, facilitating board discussions and managing the board’s relationship with the company’s senior executives. In accepting the position, the Chair has acknowledged that it will require a significant time commitment and has confirmed that other positions will not hinder his effective performance in the role of Chair.

The Managing Director is responsible for implementing Group strategies and policies.

The Chairman does not satisfy the Independence test as the role of the Chairman and the Managing Director is exercised by the same person. The board is of the opinion that the Chairman’s role as Chairman of the Board is appropriate given his experience and knowledge of the business.

Committees

The number of meetings of the company’s board of directors and of each board committee held during the year ended 30 June 2011, and the number of meetings attended by each director is disclosed on page 24.

It is the company’s practice to allow its executive directors to accept appointments outside the company. No appointments of this nature were accepted during the year ended 30 June 2011.

The Company is not of a size at the moment that justifies having a separate Nomination Committee. However, matters typically dealt with by such a committee are dealt with by the Board of Directors.

Notices of meetings for the election of directors comply with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s best practice recommendations.

Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision making

The company has developed a statement of values a which has been fully endorsed by the board and applies to all directors and employees. The Statement is regularly reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure it reflects the highest standards of behaviour and professionalism and the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Group’s integrity and to take into account legal obligations and reasonable expectations of the company’s stakeholders.

The Statement requires that at all times all company personnel act with the utmost integrity, objectivity and in compliance with the letter and the spirit of the law and company policies.

The purchase and sale of company securities by directors and employees is monitored by the Board.

Corporate Governance Statement

Action taken and reasons if not adopted

Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting

Adopted except as follows:-

The Company does not have a separate Audit Committee. The full Board carries out the functions of an Audit Committee. The Board has the authority, within the scope of its responsibilities, to seek any information it requires from any employee or external party.

Due to the status of the Company and the relatively straight forward accounts of the Company, the Directors at the moment can see no additional benefits to be obtained by establishing such a committee.

The Board follows the Audit Committee Charter, a copy of which is available on request.

External auditors

The Board’s policy is to appoint external auditors who clearly demonstrate quality and independence. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed annually and applications for tender of external audit services are requested as deemed appropriate, taking into consideration assessment of performance, existing value and tender costs. Deloitte was appointed as the external auditor in 2010. It is Deloitte’s policy to rotate audit engagement partners on listed companies at least every five years. A partner should not be re-assigned to a listed entity audit engagement if this equates to the partner serving in this role for more than 5 out of 7 successive years.

An analysis of fees paid to the external auditors, including a break-down of fees for non-audit services, is provided in the directors’ report and in note 5 to the financial statements. It is the policy of the external auditors to provide an annual declaration of their independence to the Board.

The external auditor will attend the annual general meeting and be available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report. The Company is not of a size at the moment that justifies having a internal audit division.

Principle 5&6: Make timely and balanced disclosures and respect the rights of shareholders Continuous disclosure and shareholder communication

The company has policies and procedures on information disclosure that focus on continuous disclosure of any information concerning the Group that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price of the company’s securities. These policies and procedures also include the arrangements the company has in place to promote communication with shareholders and encourage effective participation at general meetings.

The Company Secretary has been nominated as the person responsible for communications with the ASX. This role includes responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements in the ASX Listing Rules and overseeing and co-ordinating information disclosure to the ASX, analysts, brokers, shareholders, the media and the public.

32 bph energy | a n n u a l r e p o r t 2011

health[n] technology[n] resources

Action taken and reasons if not adopted

All information disclosed to the ASX is posted on the company’s website as soon as it is disclosed to the ASX. When analysts are briefed on aspects of the Group’s operations, the material used in the presentation is released to the ASX and posted on the company’s web site. Procedures have also been established for reviewing whether any price sensitive information has been inadvertently disclosed and, if so, this information is also immediately released to the market.

All shareholders receive a copy of the company’s annual (full or concise) and half-yearly reports. In addition, the company seeks to provide opportunities for shareholders to participate through electronic means. Recent initiatives to facilitate this include making all company announcements, media briefings, details of company meetings, and financial reports available on the company’s website.

Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk

The board and senior executives are responsible for ensuring there are adequate policies in relation to risk management, compliance and internal control systems. In summary, the company policies are designed to ensure strategic, operational, legal, reputational and financial risks are identified, assessed, effectively and efficiently managed and monitored to enable achievement of the Group’s business objectives.

Considerable importance is placed on maintaining a strong control environment. There is an organisation structure with clearly drawn lines of accountability and delegation of authority. The board actively promotes a culture of quality and integrity.

The responsibility for the operation and administration of the economic entity is delegated by the board to the Managing Director. The board ensures that the Managing Director is appropriately qualified and experienced to discharge his responsibilities, and has in place procedures to assess the performance for the Company’s officers, employees, contractors and consultants. The board receives monthly updates as to the effectiveness of the company’s management of material risks that may impede meeting business objectives.

The board is responsible for ensuring that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the expectations and risks identified by the Board. It has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure this is achieved, including the following:

  • Board approval of a strategic plan, designed to meet shareholder needs and manage business risk;

  • Implementation of operating plans and budgets by management and board monitoring progress against budget;

  • Procedures to allow directors, in the furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense.

Control procedures cover management accounting, financial reporting, project appraisal, IT security, compliance and other risk management issues. The Managing Director is required to ensure that appropriate controls are in place to effectively manage the identified risks. This is monitored by the board on a monthly basis.

Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk (continued)

The environment

Information on compliance with significant environmental regulations is set out in the directors’ report.

Corporate reporting

The Managing Director and CFO have made the following certifications to the board:

  • that the company’s financial reports are complete and present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the financial condition and operational results of the company and Group and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards;

  • that the above statement is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the policies adopted by the board and that the company’s risk management and internal compliance and control is operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly

The Company is not of a size at the moment that justifies having a separate Remuneration Committee. However, matters typically dealt with by such a committee are dealt with by the board.

The board makes specific recommendations on remuneration packages and other terms of employment for executive directors, other senior executives and non-executive directors.

Each member of the senior executive team signs a formal employment contract at the time of their appointment covering a range of matters including their duties, rights, responsibilities and any entitlements on termination. The standard contract refers to a specific formal job description.

Further information on directors’ and executives’ remuneration, including principles used to determine remuneration, is set out in the directors’ report under the heading ‘’Remuneration report’’. In accordance with Group policy, participants in equity-based remuneration plans are not permitted to enter into any transactions that would limit the economic risk of options or other unvested entitlements.

The board with the Chief Executive Office also assumes responsibility for overseeing management succession planning, including the implementation of appropriate executive development programmes and ensuring adequate arrangements are in place, so that appropriate candidates are recruited for later promotion to senior positions.

Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They 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.

Based on the cash flow forecasts and the monitoring of operational costs, the directors are satisfied that, the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. The financial report has therefore been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2011

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounting Policies

(a) Principles of Consolidation

A controlled entity is any entity BPH Energy Limited has the power to control the financial and operating policies of so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 20 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end.

As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the economic entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively.

Changes in the Group’s interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted for (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings) in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or jointly controlled entity.

(b) Income Tax

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any nonassessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the statement of financial position liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. 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.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be recognised directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unusual tax losses and tax credits can be utilised.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

BPH Energy Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The group notified the Australian Taxation Office on 30 June 2006 that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 30 June 2006. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax funding agreement whereby each company in the group contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated group.

(c) Property, Plant & Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the economic entity includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Property, Plant & Equipment (continued)

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate
Computers 33 %
Office furniture 15 %

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

(d) Leases

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership that are transferred to entities in the economic entity are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the period of the lease.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.

(e) Financial Instruments

Recognition and Initial Measurement

Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity is 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 either discharged, cancelled or expire. 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.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement

  • (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, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or 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. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

  • (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 using the effective interest rate method.

  • (iii) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the group’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2011

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounting Policies (continued)

(e) Financial Instruments (continued)

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that are not classified in any of the other categories.

Listed shares held by the Group that are traded in an active market are classified as AFS and are stated at fair value. The Group also has investments in unlisted shares that are not traded in an active market but that are also classified as AFS financial assets and stated at fair value (because the directors consider that fair value can be reliably measured). Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and 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.

  • (v) Financial Liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Fair value

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.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale equity financial instruments, a significant or prolonged decline in the value of the instrument below cost is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss.

(f) 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 profit or loss.

(g) Investments in Associates

Associates are all entities over which the group has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for in the parent entity financial statements using the cost method and in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The equity method of accounting recognises the group’s share of post-acquisition reserves of its associates.

44 bph energy | a n n u a l r e p o r t 2011

health[n] technology[n] resources

The group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment.

Dividends receivable from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s profit or loss, while in the consolidated financial statements they reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

When the group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest 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.

Where an investment is classified as a financial asset in accordance with AASB 139, at the date significant influence is achieved, the fair value of the investment needs to be assessed. Any fair value gains are recognised in accordance with the treatment the classification the financial asset as required by AASB 139.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

(h) Intangibles

Research

Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred.

Patents and Trademarks

Patents and trademarks are recognised at cost of acquisition. Patents and trademarks have a finite life and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Patents and trademarks are amortised over their useful life of 20 years.

(i) Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Short term employee benefits have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Long term employee benefits have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

(j) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

for the year ended 30 June 2011

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounting Policies (continued)

(k) Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

(l) Revenue and Other Income

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

Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(m) 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 statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(n) Government Grants

Government grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all grant conditions will be met. Grants relating to expense items are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant to the costs they are compensating. Grants relating to assets are credited to deferred income at fair value and are credited to income over the expected useful life of the asset on a straight-line basis.

(o) Trade and other payables

Liabilities are recognized for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to the consolidated entity. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days.

(p) Share based payments

The fair value of options granted under the Company’s Employee Option Plan is recognized as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognized over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options.

46 bph energy | a n n u a l r e p o r t 2011

health[n] technology[n] resources

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Black and Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradeable nature of the option, the share price at grant date and expected volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

The fair value of the options granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. At each statement of financial position date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to vest. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to share capital.

(q) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(r) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments 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.

Key judgements — Provision for Impairment of Loans Receivables

Included in the accounts of Consolidated entity are amounts from loan receivables of $2,720,363 (2010: $183,432). The directors believe that the full amount of the debt will be recoverable from each entity and that no provision for impairment of receivables has been made at 30 June 2010.

Key Judgments —Impairment of Intangible Assets

No impairment has been recognised in respect of intangible assets for the year ended 30 June 2011 (2010: $nil). The directors believe that the carrying value of all intangibles is appropriate after reviewing the status of each entity’s developments. The directors are confident that the products will provide the necessary returns to the Company.

Key Judgments —Fair Value of Financial Assets

The fair value of listed shares has been determined by reference to published price quotations in an active market. The fair values of unlisted securities not traded in an active market are measured at fair value, using recent arms length transactions.

22. Financial Risk Management

(a) Financial Risk Management

The group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, short-term investments, accounts receivable and payable, and loans to and from subsidiaries. The main purpose of nonderivative financial instruments is to raise finance for group operations policies.

i. Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The main risks the group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and equity price risk.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is managed with a mixture of fixed and floating rate debt.

Liquidity risk

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

Credit risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.

Credit risk for derivative financial instruments arises from the potential failure by counter-parties to the contract to meet their obligations.

The economic entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the economic entity.

Equity price risk

The Group is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments. Equity investments are held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The Group does not actively trade these investments.

Foreign currency risk

The Group is not exposed to any material risks in relation to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

ii. Fair Values

The fair values of:

  • Term receivables are determined by discounting the cash flows, at the market interest rates of similar securities, to their present value.

  • Other loans and amounts due are determined by discounting the cash flows, at market interest rates of similar borrowings to their present value.

  • For unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market, the fair value has been based on a reasonable estimation of the underlying net assets or discounted cash flows of the investment.

  • Other assets and liabilities approximate their carrying value.

No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form other than listed investments.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of BPH Energy Limited (formerly BPH Corporate Ltd)

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu ABN 74 490 121 060 Woodside Plaza Level 14 240 St Georges Terrace Perth WA 6000 GPO Box A46 Perth WA 6837 Australia DX: 206 Tel: +61 (0) 8 9365 7000 Fax: +61 (8) 9365 7001 www.deloitte.com.au

Report of the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of BPH Energy Limited (formerly BPH Corporate Ltd), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows and the statement of changes in equity for the year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and 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 as set out on pages 35 to 72.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the consolidated financial statements comply 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. Those 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 of the financial report that gives a true and fair view, 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 opinion.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. Member of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu
