CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Dear Shareholder,
The 2012-2013 financial year has been a difficult one for Gulf Industrials Limited (“Gulf Industrials” and/or the “Company”). Just as we ramped up our vermiculite production, our exclusive distributor, Dupré Minerals Limited (“Dupré”), advised the Company that it was unable to guarantee the purchase of vermiculite. This required us to put the Namekara Vermiculite Project on care and maintenance in October 2012 and the operations have not yet recommenced with continuous production. In March 2013, it was mutually agreed to terminate the Distribution Agreement with Dupré and in July 2013 we fulfilled all the terms of the termination. Gulf Industrials Limited is now actively looking for customers and distributors for its vermiculite with the intention of recommencing production as soon as practical.
The Company has undertaken limited work during the year on its Soalara Limestone Project in Madagascar and is awaiting the results of an airborne geophysical survey on the Bukusu carbonatite prospect in Uganda
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the major shareholders on behalf of the Board for their support in raising debt funding during the year and to thank all shareholders for their continued support of the Company.
Luca Bechis
Non-Executive Chairman

GULF INDUSTRIALS LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES – ABN 13 115 027 033
ACTIVITIES & PROJECT REVIEW
For the financial year 2013 Gulf Industrials’ activities have included:
-
Dupré advised the Company that it is unable to guarantee the purchase of our vermiculite. This has required the Company to place the operations on care and maintenance.
-
The Distribution Agreement with Dupré has been terminated.
-
Vermiculite production decreased by 62% to 4,165 tonnes for the year at the Namekara Vermiculite Mine in Uganda.
-
Vermiculite sales decreased 61% to 8,823 tonnes for the year.
VERMICULITE SALES & PRODUCTION SUMMARY
| Vermiculite | Year to 30/6/2013 |
Year to 30/6/2012 |
% Decrease |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales (tonnes) | 3,426 | 8,823 | - 61% |
| Production (tonnes) | 4,165 | 11,047 | - 62% |
UPDATE NAMEKARA - OPERATIONS
Gulf placed it’s Namekara Vermiculite operations in Uganda on care and maintenance in October 2012 after having been informed by its exclusive distributor Dupré Minerals Limited (Dupré) in September 2012 that given the then market conditions it could no longer guarantee the purchase of its vermiculite
The care and maintenance of the plant has also meant that staff numbers have been substantially reduced. The operations are still on care and maintenance with limited small production runs to provide samples to prospective clients. The period of not operating has also been used to clear overburden in the pit and to create stockpiles in anticipation of resuming production.
The Company is actively looking for new customers and distributors with a view to recommencing production as sales orders are received. As at the date of this report two small orders had been processed.
DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
-
Gulf had a 25 year exclusive sales and distribution contract with UK based vermiculite distributor Dupré Minerals Limited which commenced in 2010. The contract covered full global sales and distribution rights and in addition in the event of the sale of the business and the acquirer terminating the agreement Dupré was entitled to a termination fee. Dupré paid the Company USD $1 million for the contract.
-
In March 2013, Gulf and Dupré terminated the Agreement with Gulf repaying the $1 million (above) and an interest free loan of $300,000 that it had received from Dupré. Repayment was by cash and stock and by July 2013 all conditions of the termination had been fulfilled.
EXPLORATION & TENEMENTS IN UGANDA
The Company continues to explore around the Namekara Project and is awaiting the results of an airborne geophysical survey on the Bukusu carbonatite prospect in Uganda.

Figure 1: Provisional Geology map of the Bukusu Complex. Geology after (Baldock, 1967)
THE BUKUSU COMPLEX - BACKGROUND
The Bukusu Complex is one of Africa’s largest alkaline carbonatite complexes. Gulf previously identified historical information relating to a phosphate mine operated intermittently on Busumbu ridge, approximately 3km east of Namekara, during the period 1944 to 1963. Research at the Busumbu phosphate deposit by Edwards (1995) described the formation of calcium-aluminium phosphates such as crandallite in the regolith to form “soft phosphate rock” and re-precipitation of apatite to form “hard phosphate rock”.
Gulf’s 2011/2012 soil sampling and core drilling at the Busumbu – Namekara target was aimed at confirming previous reports of phosphate mineralisation, to evaluate mineralogy and identify potential for extensions at depth and along strike.
GEOLOGY
According to previous mapping by Baldock (1967) the Bukusu Complex is composed of alkaline and ultrabasic rocks forming ring dyke structures surrounding a central vent agglomerate. Radial faulting from the centre outwards is present, though very limited outcrops have restricted the amount of detailed mapping that can be carried out. In general, the Bukusu Complex is surrounded by

ACTIVITIES & PROJECT REVIEW
a broad zone of feldspathisation or fenites in which leucocratic granite, syenite and quartz-pegmatoid have been developed from alteration of the country rocks (granodiorite-gneisses).
Baldock also refers to “sheets and screens” of phoscorite intercalated with carbonatite in a borehole at the Busumbu phosphate prospect. The phoscorite is quoted as consisting of olivine (34.1%), magnetite (23.6%), apatite (22.1%) and biotite (13.5%) and to contain trace amounts of zircon and baddeleyite.
The Bukusu Complex also has potential to host several other mineral commodities including Calcium Carbonate, Magnetite and possibly Rare Earth Elements (REE).

DRILLING CONFIRMS PRESENCE OF HIGH GRADE (8-30% P2O5) PHOSPHATE MINERALISATION
In 2012 Gulf reported the results of its soil sampling and six hole drill program between the Busumbu prospect and the Namekara Vermiculite mine in eastern Uganda.
The phosphate target is hosted in alkaline rocks such as carbonatite within the Bukusu complex, one of Africa’s largest reported alkaline / carbonatite complexes.
The drilling results confirm the presence of high grade (ca.20-30% P2O5) phosphate mineralisation in weathered carbonatite, which may have DSO (direct shipping ore) potential lower grade mineralisation (8-13% P2O5) may have potential for beneficiation or for direct agricultural application. Highlights include:
-
510 soil samples collected along approximately 4km strike length.
-
Soil sample analyses indicate up to 3km strike extent of phosphate mineralisation is likely between Busumbu and Namekara.
-
Substantial phosphate mineralised footprint for future exploration.
-
Six diamond core holes completed for 301m total.
-
8.23-29.2% P2O5 in drill hole carbonatite samples to 60m down-hole, at Busumbu and Namekara.
-
An XRD analysis of the crystalline mineral phases indicates that apatite is the predominant phosphate mineral, with lesser quantities of carbonate-fluorapatite and minor crandallite noted.
Best intercepts included:
-
35.4m @ 25.8% P2O5, hole ND03 from 4.7m
-
16.6m @ 19.5% P2O5, hole ND13 from 17.5m
-
26.9m @ 19.2% P2O5, hole ND13 from 35.1m
-
29.2m @ 25.1% P2O5, hole ND43 from 7.0m
-
12.5m @ 23.9% P2O5, hole ND55 from 24.0m
-
59.2m @ 18.2% P2O5, hole ND57 from 5.2m

ACTIVITIES & PROJECT REVIEW
MADAGASCAR
The Company has undertaken limited work during the year on its Soalara Limestone Project in Madagascar.
SOALARA LIMESTONE PROJECT
The Company has three blocks called the Soalara Limestone Project, a large, high quality limestone deposit covering an area of 12.5 square kilometers which demonstrates a chemical composition suitable for application in the cement, mineral processing and fertiliser industries near Tulear in the south-west.
The Soalara project is favorably located near an existing port, and the Company believes Soalara can be developed and expanded into a world class limestone, lime and cement exporting project with a substantial long life mining operation.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
In recognising the need for the highest standards of corporate behaviour and accountability, the directors of Gulf Industrials Limited (“the Company”) have adhered to the principles of corporate governance and this statement outlines the main corporate practices in place throughout the financial year. The ASX Corporate Governance Council has released revised Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations – 2[nd] Edition. Having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its enterprise, it is considered that the Company complies as far as possible with the spirit and intentions of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations as set out below. Unless otherwise stated, the practices were in place for the entire year.
1. Board of Directors
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of the Company on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.
As the Board acts on behalf of shareholders, it seeks to identify the expectations of shareholders, as well as other 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 primary responsibilities of the Board include:
-
formulation and approval of the strategic direction, objectives and goals of the Company;
-
monitoring the financial performance of the Company, including approval of the Company’s financial statements;
-
ensuring that adequate internal control systems and procedures exist and that compliance with these systems and procedures is maintained;
-
the identification of significant business risks and ensuring that such risks are adequately managed;
-
the review of performance and remuneration of executive directors; and
-
the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards.
The responsibility for the operation and administration of the Company is carried out by the directors, who operate in an executive capacity, supported by senior professional staff. The Board ensures that this team is suitably qualified and experienced to discharge its responsibilities, and assesses on an ongoing basis the performance of the management team, to ensure that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the expectations and risks identified by the board.
The names of directors in office at any time during or since the end of the year are:
| Director L Bechis A Frost M Arnesen W Kernaghan J Best C Innis R Jurd S Jonah |
Appointed 27 August 2013 27 August 2013 10 February 2012 30 June 2005 21 February 2011 31 August 2010 21 February 2011 16 November 2010 |

The environmental laws and regulations in Uganda address the impact of the consolidated entity’s activities in the areas of water and air quality, noise, surface disturbance and impact on flora and fauna. The directors are not aware of any environmental matter which would have a materially adverse impact on the overall business of the Group.
Significant Changes in State of Affairs
The significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group that occurred during the financial year under review were:
-
The operations were placed on care and maintenance in October 2012;
-
A total of $ 4.135 million was raised by way of debt from two of its major shareholders; and
The distribution agreement that the Company had with Dupre was terminated on 7 March 2013.
After Balance Sheet Date Events
There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors of Gulf Industrials, to affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in the subsequent financial years, other than:
-
On 23 August 2013, pursuant to Shareholders approval at the EGM held on 30 July 2013, 108,058,500 fully paid ordinary shares were issued in lieu of directors’ fees and consulting fees.
-
On 27 August 2013 Mr Luca Bechis and Mr Alun Frost were appointed as Directors of the Company. Also on that date Mr Best resigned as a director of the Company.
-
On 25 September 2013 agreement in principle was reached to amend two bridging loan facilities from two of its major shareholders, being Richmond Partners Masters Limited (“Richmond”) and Jonah Capital (BVI) Limited (“Jonah”) (together the “Lenders”). The amendments to the terms of the loans will, once documented:
-
extend the maturity date to 31 March 2014 (“Expiry Date”); and
-
advance a further $1.0 million (“Amended Loans”).
In addition, each of the two Lenders has elected to convert $500,000 of their existing loans into 250m shares in Gulf at $0.002 per share. This conversion was approved by shareholders at the General Meeting held on 30 July 2013 as an alternative to repayment of the Loans. The effect of the conversion will be that Richmond will hold 411,400,000 ordinary shares in Gulf or 26.74% and Jonah will hold 367,600,000 ordinary shares in Gulf or 23.89% out of an increased 1,538,404,562 ordinary shares on issue.

Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Gulf Industrials Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2013, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, 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.
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 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 about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit 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 Gulf Industrials Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

GULF INDUSTRIALS LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES – ABN 13 115 027 033
Opinion
In our opinion:
-
a. The financial report of Gulf Industrials Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-
i. Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2013 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
ii. Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
-
b. The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.
Material Uncertainty Regarding Continuing as a Going Concern
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1: Going Concern and Note 26: After Balance Date Events in the financial report. The group incurred a net loss of $6,842,905 during the year ended 30 June 2013 and as of that date the Group had current assets of $757,500 and current liabilities of $4,941,580. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern should they be unable to raise additional capital.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 13 to 15 of the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2013. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

The Company is dependent on the continued support of both Jonah Capital (BVI) Limited and Richmond Partners Masters Limited and for them to either convert fully or part of their loans into issued capital in the Company at $0.002 as approved by shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting on shareholders on 4 January 2013. This was finalised on 25 September 2013, when the terms to the two bridging loan facilities were amended, and once documented, will include:
-
extend the maturity date to 31 March 2014 (“Expiry Date”);and
-
advance a further $1.0 million (“Amended Loans”).
In addition, each of the two Lenders has elected to convert $500,000 of their existing loan into 250m shares in Gulf at $0.002 per share. This conversion was approved by shareholders at the General Meeting held on 30 July 2013 as an alternative to repayment of the Loans.
The effect of the conversion will be that Richmond will hold 411,400,000 ordinary shares in Gulf or 26.74% and Jonah will hold 367,600,000 ordinary shares in Gulf or 23.89% out of an increased 1,538,404,562 ordinary shares on issue.
If the Company is unable to refinance at 31 March 2014 then the Company may not be a going concern and it may be required to realise its assets at amounts different to those currently recognised, settle liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and make provisions for other costs which may arise as a result of cessation or curtailment of normal business operations and may also result in the company ceasing to trade and therefore the appointment of external administrators.

GULF INDUSTRIALS LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES – ABN 13 115 027 033
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2013
Accordingly, the financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if the consolidated group does not continue as a going concern.
a. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Gulf Industrials Limited at the end of the reporting period.
A controlled entity is any entity controlled by the Company. Control exists where the Company has the capacity to dominate the decision-making in relation to the financial and operating policies of another entity so that the other entity operates with the Company to achieve the objectives of the Company.
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 20 to the Financial Statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year end. All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the consolidated group during the year, their financial performance has been included from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.
b. Mining Tenements & Deferred Exploration, Evaluation & Development Expenditure
Mining tenements are carried at cost, less accumulated impairment losses.
Mineral exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area of interest or sale of that area of interest, or exploration and evaluation activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active or significant operations in or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
c. Goods & Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (ATO). 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 are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
d. Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the consolidated group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Consolidated Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
25
GULF INDUSTRIALS LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES – ABN 13 115 027 033
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2013
e. Income Tax
The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or are subsequently enacted by the reporting date.
Current tax losses for current and prior periods are not recognised as an asset as the future income tax benefit can be carried forward only as an asset where realisation of the benefit can be regarded as being probable.
f. Share Based Payments
The fair value determined at the grant date of equity-settled share-based payments is treated as the cost of assets acquired or expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest. Vesting is not conditional upon a market condition. No asset or expense is recognised for share-based payments that do not vest.
For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability equal to the portion of the goods or services received is recognised at the current fair value determined at each reporting date.
g. Cash & Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash includes:
-
cash on hand and at call deposits with banks or financial institutions, net of bank overdrafts; and
-
investments in money market instruments with less than 14 days to maturity.
h. Revenue Recognition
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method which for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument.
Revenue from the sale of vermiculite is recognised on the receipt of the bill of landing.
Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
i. Business Combinations
Business combinations occur where control over another business is obtained and results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities. All business combinations, including those involving entities under common control, are accounted for by applying the purchase method.
The purchase method requires an acquirer of the business to be identified and for the cost of the acquisition and fair values of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities to be determined as at acquisition date, being the date that control is obtained.
Cost is determined as the aggregate of fair values of assets given, equity issued and liabilities assumed in exchange for control together with costs directly attributable to the business combination. Any deferred consideration payable is discounted to present value using the entity’s incremental borrowing rate.
Goodwill is recognised initially at the excess of cost over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If the fair value of the acquirer’s interest is greater than cost, the surplus is immediately recognised in profit or loss.
j. Leases
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
k. Joint Venture Interests
An interest in a joint venture operation is brought to account by including in the respective financial statement categories:
26
GULF INDUSTRIALS LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES – ABN 13 115 027 033
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2013
-
the consolidated entity’s share in each of the individual assets employed in the joint venture;
-
liabilities incurred by the consolidated entity in relation to the joint venture including the economic entity’s share of any liabilities for which the consolidated entity is jointly and/or severally liable; and
-
The consolidated entity’s share of expenses of the joint venture.
l. Financial Instruments
Recognition & Initial Measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to the statement of comprehensive income.
Classification & Subsequent Measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.
Amortised cost is calculated as:
-
a. the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition;
-
b. less principal repayments;
-
c. plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method ; and
-
d. less any reduction for impairment.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in the statement of comprehensive income.
The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.
-
i. Financial assets at fair value through the Statement of Comprehensive Income Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are either held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
-
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.
-
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.
27
GULF INDUSTRIALS LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES – ABN 13 115 027 033
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2013
-
iv. Available-for-sale financial assets
-
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.
-
v. Financial liabilities
-
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
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 financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
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 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 expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
m. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Functional & Presentation Currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.
Transaction & Balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
Group Companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:
-
assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
-
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
-
retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
28
GULF INDUSTRIALS LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES – ABN 13 115 027 033
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2013
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of comprehensive income. These differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed.
n. Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within the year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Those cashflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows.
Superannuation commitments: Each employee nominates their own superannuation fund to which Gulf contributes the compulsory superannuation amount.
o. Critical Accounting Estimates & 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 estimates
- (i) Impairment
The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions and events specific to the Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.
Key judgements
- (i) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
All exploration expenditure is reviewed by Directors to determine whether it is appropriate to capitalise any of these costs. All expenditure to date has been fully expensed.
p. Property, Plant & Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Property & Leasehold Improvement
Freehold land and buildings and leasehold improvements are shown at their cost.
Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to a revaluation reserve in equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against fair value reserves directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the statement of comprehensive income. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to the statement of comprehensive income and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings.
Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.
Plant & 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 asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
29
GULF INDUSTRIALS LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES – ABN 13 115 027 033
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2013
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated group 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 consolidated statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the consolidated group 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 | |
|---|---|---|
| The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and | Buildings | 5% - 10% |
| adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. | Leasehold improvements | 10% - 33.33% |
| Plant and equipment | 20% - 33.33% | |
| Motor vehicles | 33.33% |
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 statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.
q. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company 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.
Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the project from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with local laws and regulations and clauses of the permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.
r. Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned to inventory on hand using the first in first out method. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
s. Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.
30
GULF INDUSTRIALS LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES – ABN 13 115 027 033
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2013
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Refer to Note 1(L) for further discussion on the determination of impairment losses.
t. Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the entity that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
u. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
v. Comparative Figures
When required by accounting standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
w. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations
Consolidation Standards
A package of consolidation standards are effective for annual periods beginning or after 1 January 2013. Information on these new standards is presented below. The Group’s management have yet to assess the impact of these new and revised standards on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
- AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (AASB 10)
AASB 10 supersedes the consolidation requirements in AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (AASB 127) and Interpretation 112 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. It revised the definition of control together with accompanying guidance to identify an interest in a subsidiary. However, the requirements and mechanics of consolidation and the accounting for any non-controlling interests and changes in control remain the same.
- AASB 11 Joint Arrangements (AASB 11)
AASB 11 supersedes AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures (AASB 131). It aligns more closely the accounting by the investors with their rights and obligations relating to the joint arrangement. It introduces two accounting categories (joint operations and joint ventures) whose applicability is determined based on the substance of the joint arrangement. In addition, AASB 131’s option of using proportionate consolidation for joint ventures has been eliminated. AASB 11 now requires the use of the equity accounting method for joint ventures, which is currently used for investments in associates.
- AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (AASB 12)
AASB 12 integrates and makes consistent the disclosure requirements for various types of investments, including unconsolidated structured entities. It introduces new disclosure requirements about the risks to which an entity is exposed from its involvement with structured entities.
- Consequential amendments to AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements (AASB 127) and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (AASB 128)
AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements was amended to AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements which now deals only with separate financial statements. AASB 128 brings investments in joint ventures into its scope. However, AASB 128’s equity accounting methodology remains unchanged.
31
GULF INDUSTRIALS LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES – ABN 13 115 027 033
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2013
- AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (AASB 13)
AASB 13 does not affect which items are required to be fair-valued, but clarifies the definition of fair value and provides related guidance and enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. It is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The Group’s management have yet to assess the impact of this new standard.
- Amendments to AASB 119 Employee Benefits (AASB 119 Amendments)
The AASB 119 Amendments include a number of targeted improvements throughout the Standard. The main changes relate to defined benefit plans. They:
-
eliminate the ‘corridor method’, requiring entities to recognise all gains and losses arising in the reporting period in other comprehensive income
-
streamline the presentation of changes in plan assets and liabilities
-
enhance the disclosure requirements, including information about the characteristics of defined benefit plans and the risks that entities are exposed to through participation in them.
The entity does not have any defined benefit plans. Therefore, these amendments will have no significant impact on the entity.
- AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements (AASB 124 Amendments)
AASB 2011-4 makes amendments to AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures to remove individual key management personnel disclosure requirements, to achieve consistency with the international equivalent (which includes requirements to disclose aggregate (rather than individual) amounts of KMP compensation), and remove duplication with the Corporations Act 2001. The amendments are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013. The Group’s management have yet to assess the impact of these amendments.
- Amendments to AASB 2012-2 and AASB 2012-3 Financial Instruments: Presentation and AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures 5
The amendments to AASB 2012-2 and AASB 2012-3 add application guidance to address inconsistencies in applying AASB 2012’s criteria for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. Qualitative and quantitative disclosures have been added to AASB 7 relating to gross and net amounts of recognised financial instruments that are (a) set off in the statement of financial position and (b) subject to enforceable master netting arrangements and similar agreements, even if not set off in the statement of financial position. The amendments are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 for AASB 2012-2 and on or after 1 January 2015 for AASB 2012-3. The Group’s management have yet to assess the impact of these amendments.
- AASB Interpretation 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine
Clarifies that costs of removing mine waste materials (overburden) to gain access to mineral ore deposits during the production phase of a mine must be capitalised as inventories under AASB 112 Inventories if the benefits from stripping activity is realised in the form of inventory produced. Otherwise, if stripping activity provides improved access to the ore, stripping costs must be capitalised as a non-current, stripping activity asset if certain recognition criteria are met (as an addition to, or enhancement of, an existing asset). The interpretation is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The Group’s management have yet to assess the impact of these amendments.

Potential future income tax benefits estimated at $11,154,131 (2012: $9,238,184) attributable to Australian tax losses carried forward by the company and future benefits to exploration expenditure and other timing differences allowable for deduction have not been brought to account in the consolidated accounts at 30 June 2013 because the Directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard full realisation of the future income tax benefits as probable. These benefits will only be obtained if:
-
(a) the consolidated entity derives future assessable income of a nature and of sufficient amount to enable the benefit from the deductions to be realised; and
-
(b) the consolidated entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation; and
-
(c) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the company in realising the benefit from the deduction in losses.

During the year, Gulf’s wholly owned subsidiary, GLF Holdings Limited (“GH”) entered into 2 bridge loan facilities for an aggregate of $4.135 million (the “Bridge Loans”) from entities controlled by two of its major shareholders, being Richmond Partners Master Limited (“Richmond”) and Jonah Capital (BVI) Limited (“Jonah”).The Bridge Loans are secured over Gulf’s Ugandan assets, including the mining lease and the exploration licences as approved by shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting held on 4 January 2013.
Shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting held on 4 January 2013 approved that at any time up to and including 30 September 2013, Jonah and Richmond may request that all or part of the Principal Outstanding (including any capitalised interest or capitalised arrangement and commitment fee) under the Loan be satisfied by the issue of shares in Gulf Industrials at a minimum amount of $500,000 each. The number of shares to be issued will be calculated on a price of $0.002 per share for the amount in respect of which Jonah and Richmond makes a request. The amount payable under the Loan will be applied against the subscription price for the shares issued to Jonah and Richmond. This conversion was approved by shareholders at the General Meeting held on 30 July 2013 as an alternative to repayment of the Loans.
On 25 September 2013, when the terms to the two bridging loan facilities amended are documented, Richmond and Jonah will:
-
extend the maturity date to 31 March 2014 (“Expiry Date”) and
-
Advance a further $1.0 million.
In addition, each of the two Lenders has elected to convert $500,000 of their existing loan into 250 million shares each in Gulf Industrials at $0.002 per share. The effect of the conversion will be that Richmond will hold 411,400,000 ordinary shares in Gulf or 26.74% and Jonah will hold 367,600,000 ordinary shares in Gulf or 23.89% out of an increased 1,538,404,562 ordinary shares on issue.

23. Capital & Leasing Commitments

The consolidated entity has committed to expend a minimum of $Nil (2012: Nil) over the next year to keep its current tenements in good standing.
-
(ii) Lease expenditure commitments

Consolidated Group 2013 $ 2012 $ - 194,407 - 185,352 - 379,759 |
|---|---|
The property lease was renegotiated during the 2012 year and was extended for another two years. The lease had a seven year term (1 June 2007 to 31 May 2014), with rent payable monthly in advance. However, on 31 January 2013 the Company terminated this property lease.
24. Financial Risk Management
The group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable and loans to and from subsidiaries. The main risks the group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the establishment, implementation and ongoing monitoring and review of an effective risk management framework for the group. The group’s risk management policies and objectives are designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the results of the group where such impacts may be material.

ii) Net fair values
Monetary financial assets and financial liabilities not readily traded in an organised financial market have been valued at cost, which approximate fair value. The carrying amounts of bank deposits, accounts receivable and, accounts payable approximate net fair value.
iii) Foreign Currency Risk
The consolidated group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the sale and purchase of goods and services in currencies other than the consolidated group’s measurement currency.
iv) Liquidity Risk
The group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows.
v) Sensitivity Analysis
The group has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to foreign currency risk at balance date. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in this risk.
The group has not performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk at balance date as it is not material and would have limited effect on the current year results.

|---|---|
| (497,852) (57,854) 497,852 57,854 |
Currency risk exposure during the year was limited to inter-company transactions which eliminate on consolidation. The risk analysis is therefore based only on the non-current trade and other payables which are a liability denominated in US dollars and due to a third party.
