REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Carnilya Hill Joint Venture

View Resources (through View Nickel Pty Ltd) has retained a 30% joint venture interest in the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture in Western Australia with Mincor Resources NL (Joint Venture). The Carnilya Hill Mine has been in production for a number of years and the current mine plan anticipates that it will remain in production until the current reserves are depleted in the first quarter of 2012 depending on the nickel price and successful mining techniques being implemented.

Mincor Resources NL (―Mincor‖, ASX:MCR) is the operator of the Carnilya Hill JV. Mincor has advised the Company that the mine is now in ‗harvest mode‘ meaning that mine development has been completed enabling access to the majority of the remaining ore reserves. Continued mining operations are focused on extracting the ore now available as a result of this mine development.

Production from Carnilya Hill is controlled by the stoping sequence which defines the order in which the remaining stopes can be mined. As a result the actual production can vary significantly on a monthly basis.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

==> picture [75 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

According to Mincor the current mining sequence resulted in an overall 25% increase in grade mined during the quarter compared to the previous Quarter. Mining at Carnilya Hill is expected to be completed in the first Quarter of calendar 2012. Mincor‘s production target for Carnilya Hill for FY2011/2012 is 43,000 tonnes of ore at a grade of 3.1% Ni of which 13,000 tonnes are attributable to View Resources.

Mining continued during the June Quarter with 14,052 tonnes of ore extracted with an average grade of 3.94% Ni. Of this 4,216 tonnes of ore are attributable to View. The production for the 12 months from 30 June 2010 is 76,374 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 3.08% Ni. This is approximately 4,700 tonnes of ore below forecast. The full year production attributable to View is 22,912 tonnes of ore. Ore was treated and concentrate acquired by BHP Billiton Nickel West Pty Ltd under an ore tolling and concentrate purchase agreement.

As at 30 June 2011, the Ore Reserves for the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture (as reported by Mincor Resources NL) were as set out in the table below:

Proved Probable Total
Tonnes Ni(%) Tonnes Ni(%) Tonnes Ni(%) Total Ni tonnes

Measured Indicated Total
Tonnes Ni(%) Tonnes Ni(%) Tonnes Ni(%) Total Ni tonnes
90,000 4.1 58,500 2.3 148,500 3.4 5,000

The Ore Reserves for the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture (as reported by Mincor Resources NL as at 30 June 2011) attributable to the Company‘s 30% interest (i.e. 30% of the total Carnilya Hill Ore Reserves) are as set out in the table below:

Proved Probable Total
Tonnes Ni(%) Tonnes Ni(%) Tonnes Ni(%) Total Ni tonnes
14,000 3.3 0 0 14,000 3.3 450

As at 30 June 2011, the Mineral Resource for the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture (as reported by Mincor) attritutable to the Company‘s 30% interest (i.e. 30% of the total Carnilya Hill Mineral Resource) is as set out in the table below:

Measured Indicated Total
Tonnes Ni(%) Tonnes Ni(%) Tonnes Ni(%) Total Ni tonnes
27,000 4.1 17,500 2.3 44,500 3.4 1,500

The resources above are inclusive of reserves. The total ore reserves have been reduced from 3,900 tonnes of contained nickel at 30 June 2010 to 1,560 tonnes of contained nickel at 30 June 2011 as a result of depletion through mining.

As the operator of the joint venture, Mincor manages the ongoing exploration programmes and releases results from these programmes as they are available.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Regional Exploration

The Company has applied for tenement E39/1641 located in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia. The tenement consists of 27 blocks and is located to the south of Minara Resources‘ Murrin Murrin mine and adjacent to the NiWest operation currently under development by GME Resources Ltd. The area is believed to have potential for both nickel laterite and nickel sulphide mineralisation.

The tenement area is underlain by rhyolite flows and acid tuffs occurring in thick interlayered beds with volcaniclastic sediments. Mapping has shown that there are a variety of mafic intrusives in the area, with the vast majority intruded as sills, and ultramafic units within the project area. Much of the tenement is covered by alluvial cover however which is likely to have hampered historical exploration.

The area has previously been explored for nickel as well as copper and zinc by a number of companies. Work has ranged from early stage soil sampling to auger and diamond drilling. However there has only been limited exploration in recent times and it is likely that several modern exploration techniques have not been applied in the area.

The Company is currently compiling publicly available data relating to this tenement from which it will determine the exploration strategy to be taken once tenure is granted.

Other Projects

The Company is actively seeking complementary and non-complementary assets, investments and businesses that have the potential to generate additional shareholder value. These other opportunities might include making investments in resource assets outside of nickel. The Company has been considering a number of opportunities in the coal, iron ore, potash, phosphate and other mineral sectors in recent times.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

Significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year were as follows:

Andrew Saker and Darren Weaver from Ferrier Hodgson were appointed as Joint and Several Administrators of View Resources Ltd (―View Resources‖) on Friday, 8 February 2008. Furthermore, Andrew Saker and Darren Weaver were also appointed as Joint and Several Administrators to View Resources subsidiaries namely View Gold Pty Ltd (―View Gold‖) and View Nickel Pty Ltd (―View Nickel‖) on Friday, 8 February 2008.

Following a marketing and sale campaign, the Administrators received a DOCA proposal by Brijohn Nominees Pty Ltd (the Syndicate) which was capable of being accepted by creditors.

On the 9th February 2011 the DOCA as described above was effectuated and the recapitalisation proposal for the company completed. Control of View Resources Limited and View Nickel Pty Ltd was handed over to the new and current directors.

As a result of the above the Company has extinguished all liabilities associated with the previous administration of the Group and has undertaken the following transactions as part of the DOCA effectuation;

  • Consolidation of the existing fully paid ordinary shares (Shares) on a one (1) for twenty (20) basis together with the consolidation of its existing options in the same ratio as the existing Shares; and

  • Issued 50,000,000 new Shares post consolidation at $0.001 each to raise $50,000; and

  • Issued 800,000,000 new Shares post consolidation at $0.005 each to raise $4,000,000; and

  • Issue 170,000,000 new options exercisable at $0.01 each and expiring 31 March 2014.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

==> picture [75 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

In raising this capital, the Company has then made a payment of $2,125,000 to the Creditor‘s Trust to effectuate the DOCA with the Administrators.

All outstanding legal and ASX requirements to enable the company to relist on the ASX were completed in early June 2011 and relisting occurred on the 14[th] June 2011.

FINANCIAL POSITION

The net assets of the consolidated group have increased by $42,336,687 from a net asset deficiency of ($36,679,133) at 30 June 2010 to net assets of $5,657,554 at 30 June 2011. This increase is due to the following factors:

  • proceeds from recapitalisation of $4,100,000;

  • effectuation of DOCA including forgiveness of debts associated with pre-DOCA liabilities; and

  • gain on deconsolidation of View Gold Pty Ltd.

The consolidated group‘s net working capital, being current assets less current liabilities is $4,187,354 which is a significant turnaround from the net working capital deficiency of ($31,037,112) in 2010.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

The directors are not aware of any matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated group in future financial years, except that on the 13[th] September 2011 it entered into a potash farm-in agreement in West Africa which was subject to and conditional upon the Company being satisfied with the results of legal and technical due diligence. On the 27[th] September 2011 the Company terminated that agreement due to it not being able to be satisfied with its initial legal due diligence.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS

The Directors believe, on reasonable grounds, that to include in this report particular information regarding likely developments in the operations of the Company and the expected results of those operations in future financial years would be speculative and likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Company. Accordingly, this information has not been included in this report.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

The Company‘s operations are not regulated by any significant environmental regulation under a law of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory.

The directors have considered the enacted National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the NGER Act) which introduces a single national reporting framework for the reporting and dissemination of information about the greenhouse gas emissions, greenhouse gas projects, and energy use and production of corporations. At the current stage of development, the directors have determined that the NGER Act will have no effect on the Company for the current or subsequent financial year. The directors will reassess this position as and when the need arises.

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited)

This report details the nature and amount of the remuneration for each key management person of View Resources Limited and for the executives receiving the highest remuneration for 30 June 2011. From the period 8[th] February 2008 to 9[th] February 2011 the group has been in administration. The current directors were not the directors during any part of the financial year end for the 30 June 2010. The comparative information for this report has been excluded due to there being no known remuneration for KMP in office during the year and any required information not being available as all the information and knowledge resided with the previous directors and the accounting records as provided are not complete enough to extract details of remuneration, if any, for the year ended 30 June 2010.

The remuneration report is set out under the following headings:

  • A Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration B Details of remuneration C Service agreements D Share-based compensation

The information provided under headings A-D includes remuneration disclosures that are required under accounting Standard AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures. These disclosures have been transferred from the financial report and have been audited.

A Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (audited)

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

The Board recognises that View Resources Limited operates in a global environment. To prosper in this environment we must attract, motivate and retain key executive staff.

Market Comparisons

Consistent with attracting and retaining talented executives, the board endorses the use of incentive and bonus payments. The board will continue to seek external advice to ensure reasonableness in remuneration scale and structure, and to compare the Company‘s position with the external market. The impact and high cost of replacing senior employees and the competition for talented executives requires the committee to reward key employees when they deliver consistently high performance.

Board Remuneration

Shareholders approve the maximum aggregate remuneration for non-executive directors which currently stands at $300,000 per annum, as approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 21 November 2006. The Board determines actual payments to directors and reviews their remuneration annually based, on independent external advice with regard to market practice, relativities, and the duties and accountabilities of directors. A review of directors‘ remuneration is conducted annually to benchmark overall remuneration including retirement benefits.

Performance-based Remuneration

The Company currently has no performance based remuneration component built into director and executive remuneration packages.

Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Directors and Executives Remuneration

The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase the direct positive relationship between shareholders investment objectives and directors and executives performance. Currently, directors and executives are encouraged to hold shares in the Company to ensure the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The company currently does not offer performance based remuneration during the exploration phase of operations. This policy may change once the exploration phase is complete and the company is generating revenue. At present, the existing policy is not impacted by the company‘s performance, including earnings and changes in shareholder wealth.

The following summarises the performance of the Company over the last 5 financial years:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2011

==> picture [75 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of View Resources Limited and Controlled Entities (the ―consolidated group‖ or ―group‖).

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

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 30[th] September 2011 by the directors of the company

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

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

These financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

a) Comparatives

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

Limitations on Preparation

Andrew Saker and Darren Weaver from Ferrier Hodgson were appointed as Joint and Several Administrators of View Resources Ltd (―View Resources‖) on Friday, 8 February 2008. Furthermore, Andrew Saker and Darren Weaver were also appointed as Joint and Several Administrators to View Resources subsidiaries namely View Gold Pty Ltd (―View Gold‖) and View Nickel Pty Ltd (―View Nickel‖) on Friday, 8 February 2008.

Immediately following the appointment, the administrators took control of the Group‘s assets including View Resource‘s assets and continued to carry on the Group‘s business.

The current Company Directors were not Directors as at the comparative Reporting Date, nor were they parties involved with the Company. Every reasonable effort has been made by the Directors to ascertain the true position of the Group as at 30 June 2010. However, there may be information that the current Directors have not been able to obtain, the impact of which may or may not be material on the accounts.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2011 (continued)

==> picture [75 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

b) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by View Resources Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which View Resources has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity‘s activities. Control will generally exist where the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 23 to the financial statements.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.

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

c) Income tax

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).

Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

20

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2011 (continued)

==> picture [75 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Income tax (continued)

ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

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

Tax consolidation

View Resources Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the Group recognises its own current and deferred tax liabilities, except for any deferred tax liabilities resulting from unused tax losses and tax credits, which are immediately assumed by the parent entity. The group notified the Australian Tax Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 12 August 2003. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax sharing 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.

d) Foreign currency translation

Transactions

Foreign currency transactions are initially translated into Australian currency at the rate of exchange at the date of the transaction. At reporting date amounts payable and receivable in foreign currencies are translated to Australian currency at rates of exchange current at that date. Resulting exchange differences are recognised in determining the profit or loss for the year.

e) Trade receivables

All trade debtors are recognised at the amounts receivable as they are due for settlement no more than 120 days from the date of recognition.

Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for doubtful debts is raised when some doubt as to collection exists and in any event when the debt is more than 60 days overdue.

f) Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits and financial assets that are carried at fair value and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

g) Property, plant and equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value 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 asset‘s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

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 statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

The Depreciation 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 expected useful lives are as follows:

 Computer equipment 3-5 years  Plant and equipment 3-5 years

The assets‘ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

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.

h) Impairment of assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset‘s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset‘s carrying value. Any excess of the asset‘s carrying value over its recoverable amount recognised immediately in the profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other standard.

22

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2011 (continued)

==> picture [75 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.

i) Investments in Associates

Associate companies are companies in which the Group has significant influence through holding, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the voting power of the company. Investments in associates are accounted for in the financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting whereby the investment is initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Group‘s share of net assets of the associate company. In addition the Group‘s share of the profit or loss of the associate company is included in the Group‘s profit or loss.

The carrying amount of the investment includes goodwill relating to the associate. Any excess of the Group‘s share of the net fair value of the associate's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investment is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in the determination of the investor's share of the associate's profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the relation to the Group‘s investment in the associate.

When the Group‘s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. When the associate subsequently makes profits, the Group will resume the recognition of its share of those profits once its share of the profits equals the share of the losses not recognised.

Details of the Group‘s investments in associates are shown at Note 12.

j) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Group during the reporting period which remains unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amount being normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

k) Borrowings

Loans and debentures are carried at their principal amounts which represent the present value of future cash flows associated with servicing the debt. Interest is accrued over the period it becomes due and is recorded as part of other creditors.

On issue of convertible notes, the fair value of the liability component, being the obligation to make future payments of principal and interest to noteholders, is calculated using a market interest rate for an equivalent nonconvertible note. The residual amount, representing the fair value of the conversion option, is included in equity as other equity securities with no recognition of any change in the value of the option in subsequent periods. The liability is included in borrowings and carried on an amortised cost basis with interest on the notes recognised as borrowing costs on an effective yield basis until the liability is extinguished on conversion or maturity of the notes.

l) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditures are written off as incurred, except when such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation, or sale, of an area of interest. In addition, exploration assets recognised on acquisition of an entity are carried forward provided that exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.

The expenditure carried forward when recovery is expected represents an accumulation of direct net exploration and evaluation costs incurred by or on behalf of the Group and applicable indirect costs, in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current.

The successful commercial exploitation of all exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent upon the Company raising adequate debt and equity funding, which is dependent upon continued investor support.

If it is established subsequently that economically recoverable reserves exist in a particular area of interest, resulting in the decision to develop a commercial mining operation, then in that year the accumulated expenditure attributable to that area, to the extent that it does not exceed the recoverable amount for the area concerned, will be transferred to mine development. As such it will be subsequently amortised against production from that area. Any excess of accumulated expenditure over recoverable amounts will be written off to the statement of comprehensive income.

m) Mine properties and mine development

These assets represent the capital cost incurred on areas of interest for which it has been established, to the satisfaction of the directors, that economically recoverable resources exist.

Costs accumulated in respect of each area of interest represent direct and applicable indirect expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the relevant entity. Indirect expenditure principally consists of charges for depreciation of equipment used in development activities. The costs of successful exploration and evaluation and access and capital development are classified as mine development.

Capital development on underground mines includes expenditure on shaft sinking, declines, development and access drives and ventilation shafts. Amortisation of these costs is provided separately for each mineral resource or mine from the commencement of commercial production as follows:

Mine development is calculated on a units-of-production basis over the estimated recoverable resources. In order to calculate the amortisation, the total costs of development, including net cost incurred to date and estimated future capital development costs are totalled and divided by the total resources. Annual depletion is calculated based on the units of production during the period multiplied by the per unit cost.

n) Cash and cash equivalents

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

o) Revenue and Other Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument.

p) Employee benefits

Provision is made for the Group‘s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the reporting date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wages increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting requirements. Those cash outflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows.

Equity-settled compensation

The Group operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account.

Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the good or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is shown in the option reserve.

The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using a Black–Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

q) 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 (―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 in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

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

r) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit after income tax attributable to members of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

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 shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

s) Segment reporting

A business segment is identified for a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different to those of other business segments. A geographical segment is identified when products or services are provided within a particular economic environment subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

t) Issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

u) 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.

Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.

==> picture [75 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

v) Financial instruments

Initial recognition and 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 (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).

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

Classification and subsequent measurement

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

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.

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 profit or loss.

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

  • i. Loans and receivables

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

  • Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other loans and receivables are classified as non-current assets.)

  • ii. Financial liabilities

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

Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired.

Financial guarantees

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

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

27

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2011 (continued)

==> picture [75 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

v) Financial instruments

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

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

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

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

De-recognition

Financial assets are de-recognised 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 de-recognised 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 profit or loss.

w) New accounting standards and interpretations

The AASB has issued new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods and which the Group has decided not to early adopt. A discussion of those future requirements and their impact on the Group is as follows:

  • AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2010) (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).

This Standard is applicable retrospectively and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, as well as recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments. The Group has not yet determined any potential impact on the financial statements.

The key changes made to accounting requirements include:

  • simplifying the classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried at fair value;

  • simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives;

  • removing the tainting rules associated with held-to-maturity assets;

  • removing the requirements to separate and fair value embedded derivatives for financial assets carried at amortised cost;

  • allowing an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument;

  • requiring financial assets to be reclassified where there is a change in an entity‘s business model as they are initially classified based on: (a) the objective of the entity‘s business model for managing the financial assets; and (b) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows; and

  • requiring an entity that chooses to measure a financial liability at fair value to present the portion of the change in its fair value due to changes in the entity‘s own credit risk in other comprehensive income, except when that would create an accounting mismatch. If such a mismatch would be created or enlarged, the entity is required to present all changes in fair value (including the effects of changes in the credit risk of the liability) in profit or loss.

  • AASB 2010–4: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project [AASB 1, AASB 7, AASB 101 & AASB 134 and Interpretation 13] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011).

This Standard details numerous non-urgent but necessary changes to Accounting Standards arising from the IASB‘s annual improvements project. Key changes include:

  • clarifying the application of AASB 108 prior to an entity‘s first Australian-Accounting-Standards financial statements;

28

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2011 (continued)

==> picture [75 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

w) New accounting standards and interpretations

  • adding an explicit statement to AASB 7 that qualitative disclosures should be made in the context of the quantitative disclosures to better enable users to evaluate an entity‘s exposure to risks arising from financial instruments;

  • amending AASB 101 to the effect that disaggregation of changes in each component of equity arising from transactions recognised in other comprehensive income is required to be presented, but is permitted to be presented in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes;

  • adding a number of examples to the list of events or transactions that require disclosure under AASB 134; and

  • making sundry editorial amendments to various Standards and Interpretations.

This Standard is not expected to impact the Group.

  • AASB 2010–5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 101, 107, 112, 118, 119, 121, 132, 133, 134, 137, 139, 140, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 112, 115, 127, 132 & 1042] (applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011).

This Standard makes numerous editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of IFRSs by the IASB. However, these editorial amendments have no major impact on the requirements of the respective amended pronouncements.

  • AASB 2010–6: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures on Transfers of Financial Assets [AASB 1 & AASB 7] (applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011).

This Standard adds and amends disclosure requirements about transfers of financial assets, especially those in respect of the nature of the financial assets involved and the risks associated with them. Accordingly, this Standard makes amendments to AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards, and AASB 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures, establishing additional disclosure requirements in relation to transfers of financial assets.

This Standard is not expected to impact the Group.

  • AASB 2010–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 102, 108, 112, 118, 120, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 136, 137, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 2, 5, 10, 12, 19 & 127] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013).

This Standard makes amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations as a consequence of the issuance of AASB 9: Financial Instruments in December 2010. Accordingly, these amendments will only apply when the entity adopts AASB 9.

As noted above, the Group has not yet determined any potential impact on the financial statements from adopting AASB 9.

  • AASB 2010–8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets [AASB 112] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012).

This Standard makes amendments to AASB 112: Income Taxes.

The amendments brought in by this Standard introduce a more practical approach for measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets when investment property is measured using the fair value model under AASB 140: Investment Property.

Under the current AASB 112, the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets depends on whether an entity expects to recover an asset by using it or by selling it. The amendments introduce a presumption that an investment property is recovered entirely through sale. This presumption is rebutted if the investment property is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale.

The amendments brought in by this Standard also incorporate Interpretation 121 into AASB 112.

The amendments are not expected to impact the Group.

  • AASB 2010–9: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters [AASB 1] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011).

This Standard makes amendments to AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards.

The amendments brought in by this Standard provide relief for first-time adopters of Australian Accounting

29

w) New accounting standards and interpretations

Standards from having to reconstruct transactions that occurred before their date of transition to Australian Accounting Standards.

Furthermore, the amendments brought in by this Standard also provide guidance for entities emerging from severe hyperinflation either to resume presenting Australian-Accounting-Standards financial statements or to present Australian-Accounting-Standards financial statements for the first time.

This Standard is not expected to impact the Group.

x) Critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group‘s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are:

Impairment

The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period 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.

Taxation

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, are based on the best estimates of directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Company as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors‘ best estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office.

All unused tax losses were incurred by Australian entities.

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 that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet 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 credited in the statement of comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be credited 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 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 tax 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 law.

View Resources Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. Each entity in the group recognises its own current and deferred tax liabilities, except for any deferred tax liabilities resulting from unused tax losses and tax credits, which are immediately assumed by the parent entity. The group notified the Australian Tax Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 12 August 2003. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax sharing 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.

7. Discontinued operations

During March 2008 the administrators of View Resources Limited announced their intention to sell the Bronzewing asset and initiated an active program to locate a buyer and complete the sale. On 01 April 2009, the consolidated group entered into a sale agreement and this sale was completed in September 2009 when all conditions precedent were met. For the year ending 30 June 2008 the disposal of the asset triggered the discontinuing of its operations in the Mining business segment. View Gold Pty Ltd was deconsolidated on the 9 February 2011.

Financial information of the discontinued operation to the 30 June 2011 is included below. Refer to Note 26(c) for further disclosures regarding the gain on deconsolidation of View Gold Pty Ltd.

c) Capital Management

The objectives of management when managing capital is to safeguard the Group‘s ability to continue as a going concern, so that the Group may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

27. Share-based payments

The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at year end was 2.75 years. The exercise price of outstanding shares at the end of the reporting period was $2.61.

The fair value of the options granted to employees is deemed to represent the value of the employee services received over the vesting period, there were no such options for the period ending 30 June 2011. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year was $0.002 (2010: nil). These values were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model applying the following inputs:

Weighted average exercise price: $0.01
Weighted average life of the option: 3.1 years
Expected share price volatility: 82.86%
Risk-free interest rate: 5.02%

Historical volatility has been the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it is assumed that this is indicative of future movements. The life of the options is based on the historical exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in the future.

iv. No shares were granted to key management personnel as share-based payments during the period. The options granted above were for creditor payments in relation to the deed of company and arrangement and the share based payment expense of $40,076 (2010: Nil) is recorded as part of DOCA payments in the statement of comprehensive income.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2011 (continued)

29. Financial Risk Management

The Group‘s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as other receivables and payables, which arise directly from its operations.

The Group‘s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The company is not exposed to foreign exchange or price risk.

Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors, who evaluate and agree upon risk management and objectives.

The board of directors were not the directors at 30 June 2010, and as such there are no comparative financial risk management policies for these periods.

(a) Market Risk

  • (i) Interest rate risk

The Group‘s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument‘s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and financial liabilities comprises:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2011 (continued)

==> picture [75 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

The Group policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to six months to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. Cash at bank and in hand earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates. The Group does not have any receivables or payables that may be affected by interest rate risk.

Sensitivity analysis

At 30 June 2011, if interest rates had changed by -/+100 basis points from the weighted average rate for the year with all other variables held constant, post-tax loss for both the Group and the parent entity would have been $46,941 (2010: n/a) lower/higher as a result of lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents. Management have deemed a movement of 100 basis points to be an appropriate measure for this sensitivity analysis.

(b) Credit risk

The Group does not have any significant concentrations of credit risk. Credit risk is managed by the Board and arises from cash and cash equivalents as well as credit exposure including outstanding receivables.

All cash balances held at banks are held at internationally recognised institutions. The majority of receivables held within the Group relates to receivables from the Group‘s JV investment. The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due or impaired can be assessed by reference to historical information about default rates.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets disclosed within the financial report.

The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about default rates.

Financial assets that are neither past due and not impaired are as follows:-

Financial assets - counterparties without external credit rating
Financial assets with no defaults in the past
Cash and cash equivalents
‗AA‘ S&P rating
2011
2010
$
$
7,347
-
4,682,565
9,508,314

(c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash balances and access to equity funding.

The Group‘s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relate primarily to cash assets.

The directors monitor the cash-burn rate of the Group on an on-going basis against budget and the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities to manage its liquidity risk.

As at reporting date the Group had sufficient cash reserves to meet its requirements. The Group has no access to credit standby facilities or arrangements for further funding or borrowings in place.

29. Financial Risk Management (continued)

The financial liabilities the Group had at reporting date were other payables incurred in the normal course of the business. These were non interest bearing and were due within the normal 30-60 days terms of creditor payments.

(d) Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. All financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group at the reporting date are recorded at amounts approximating to their carrying amount.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. At reporting date the Group had no such financial assets.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

QUALIFIED INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF VIEW RESOURCES LIMITED

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of View Resources Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011, the consolidated statement of 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 during 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 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.

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 View Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO (Australia) Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

The financial report which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of cash flows, description of accounting policies and other selected explanatory notes for the preceding corresponding period has been disclaimed. Accordingly, we are not in a position to and do not express any assurance in respect of the comparative information for the year ended 30 June 2010, or on current year results or cash flows as a result of any adjustments that would have been made on prior period amounts.

The financial report discloses a gain on the deconsolidation of View Gold Pty Limited of $35,077,165 and deed of company administration liability write-offs of $7,568,612. We were unable to determine the accuracy of assets and liabilities of the group due to the disclaimed opinion in the corresponding preceding financial year. Due to this we were unable to verify the accuracy of the gain on deconsolidation and deed of company administration liability write off had in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income of View Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2011.

The financial report discloses an expense item described as DOCA payments totalling $4,300,280. We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to verify the accuracy of $700,153 included in the total. Given this limitation of scope we cannot, and do not express an opinion on this balance included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2011.

Included in View Resources Limited’s consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011 is an investment of 30% in the associate Carnilya Hill Joint Venture which is accounted for under the equity method and is carried at $1,315,813. View Resources Limited’s share of the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture’s net income of $2,893,200 is included in View Resources Limited’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended. We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to verify the accuracy of the investment and as such we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these amounts were necessary. Given this limitation of scope we cannot, and do not express an opinion on result of the associate included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2011, or any consequential impact it may have on the carrying value of the investment.

Qualified Opinion

In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph:

  • (a) the financial report of View Resources 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 2011 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and

  • (b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2011. 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.

==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

Basis for Qualified Opinion

The Remuneration Report for the preceding corresponding period has been disclaimed. Accordingly, we are not in a position to and do not express any assurance in respect of the comparative information for the year ended 30 June 2010 or any effect that it may have on the current year remuneration report.

Qualified Opinion

In our opinion, except for the effects of the disclaimed audit opinion in the preceding year, as described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph noted above, the Remuneration Report of View Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2011 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
