Throughout the administration, the Administrators have been in discussions with a number of parties regarding the possible restructure and recapitalisation of the Group including View Resources‘ major shareholder, IMC.

Following the second adjourned meeting of creditors held on 25 July 2008 whereby creditors accepted a DOCA proposal presented by Austral-Asia Resources and Infrastructural Investments Pty Ltd (―AARII‖), View Resources entered into a DOCA on 15 August 2008. As certain conditions under the DOCA had not been satisfied, a third meeting of creditors was held on 12 January 2010 whereby creditors accepted the Varied DOCA proposal presented by AARII. The terms of the this DOCA provided that the effectuation of the View Resources DOCA is subject to the conditions of the View Nickel DOCA being effectuated and fund monies being distributed by 20 December 2010; and under the terms of the View Nickel DOCA, the Deed Administrators must realise View Nickel's 30% interest in the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture by 20 December 2010. The Deed Administrators were not in a position to realise View Nickel‘s interest in the CHJV and distribute the proceeds by 20 December 2010.

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

The major terms of the Syndicate‘s Varied DOCA Proposal (the DOCA Proposal) are as follows:

  1. The Syndicate will pay a total amount of $900,000 to the Deed Administrators as follows:

  2. i. $675,000 to the Deed Administrators in consideration for View Resources‘ shareholding in View Nickel, the View Resources loan to View Nickel and the debt owed to View Resources by View Gold, all the subject of View Nickel‘s charge over View Resources. This amount will be paid to the secured creditor given its existing outstanding debt; and

  3. ii. $225,000 to the Deed Administrators to be distributed to the View Resources‘ Creditors‘ Trust in full and final satisfaction of View Resources‘ unsecured creditor claims;

  4. Payment of $1,225,000 to the VNI Trustees of which $1,200,000 is to be paid to AARII in consideration of the AARII Debt.

  5. The completion of the DOCA Proposal is subject to:

  6. a. Prior to 31 January 2011, the ASX not revoking its stance that View Resources does not need to re-comply with chapters 1 & 2 of the ASX Listing Rules;

  7. b. Receiving View Resources‘ creditor approval to the Varied DOCA Proposal;

  8. c. Obtaining various shareholder approvals, including but not limited to proposed capital raisings, share consolidations and director appointments;

  9. d. Preparation of the View Resources‘ financial accounts by the Deed Administrators;

  10. e. Payment of the secured creditors cash consideration of $675,000 within five (5) business days of receiving View Resources shareholder approval;

  11. f. View Gold to be removed from the View Resources‘ group structure; and

  12. g. The Deed Administrators obtaining varied (or new) section 477A orders.

4

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR (CONT)

At completion, the DOCA Proposal will terminate as a result of being wholly effectuated, and:

  1. View Resources unsecured creditor claims will be extinguished against View Resources and each unsecured creditor will have a claim against the Creditors Trust Fund for the same amount of any claim they would have had against View Resources;

  2. View Resources will be released from all creditor claims; and

  3. The View Resources Creditors Trust Fund will be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Creditors Trust Deed which applies the same statutory priorities as a liquidation scenario.

On the 9th February 2011 the Varied 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.

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.

Subject to the satisfaction of all outstanding legal and ASX requirements the company is expected to relist on the ASX in due course.

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 REGULATIONS

The consolidated entity‘s operations are subject to environmental regulations in respect of its exploration and development activities. The Directors are not aware of any breaches of any regulations in the period covered by this report.

REMUNERATION REPORT

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 2009. 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 2009. Most of the information for this report has been excluded due to the 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 for the year ended 30 June 2009. The information provided is based on prior years principles and policies in effect for the company at the time.

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 E Additional information

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. The disclosures in Section E are additional disclosures required by the Corporations Act 2001 and the Corporations Regulations 2001 which have not been audited.

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

The objectives of the Company‘s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders. The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

  • competitiveness and reasonableness;

  • performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation;

  • transparency.

With reference to external remuneration reports, the Company has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the organisation. Alignment to shareholders‘ interests:

  • has economic profit as a core component of plan design;

  • focuses on sustained growth in share price and delivering constant return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value;

  • attracts and retains high calibre executives.

8

REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)

Alignment to program participants‘ interests:

  • rewards capability and experience;

  • reflects competitive reward for contributing to shareholder growth;

  • provides a clear structure for earning rewards;

  • provides recognition for contribution.

The framework provides a mix of fixed and variable pay, and a blend of short and long-term incentives. As executives gain seniority with the group, the balance of this mix shifts to a higher proportion of ―at risk‖ rewards.

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

Non-executive directors

Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the directors. Non-executive directors‘ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Chairman‘s fees are determined independently to the fees of non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market.

Non-executive directors‘ fees are determined within an aggregate directors‘ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at $300,000 per annum and was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 21 November 2006.

Executive pay

The executive pay and reward framework has four components:

  • base pay and benefits

  • short-term performance incentives  long-term incentives, and  other remuneration such as superannuation.

Base pay

Structured as a total employment cost package which may be delivered as a mix of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits at the executives‘ discretion.

Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards. An independent remuneration report is utilised to ensure base pay is set to reflect the market for a comparable role. Base pay for senior executives is reviewed annually to ensure the executive‘s pay is competitive with the market. An executive‘s pay is also reviewed on promotion. There are no guaranteed base pay increases fixed in any senior executives‘ contracts.

Senior executives receive benefits including in some cases motor vehicles, parking and mobile phones.

Retirement benefits are delivered in accordance with the current superannuation legislation (being 9%). This amount is paid to the employees‘ nominated superannuation funds.

Short-term incentives

If the Group achieves a pre-determined profit target set by the remuneration committee as well as other pre-determined targets, a short-term incentive (STI) pool is available to executives during the annual review. Cash incentives (bonuses) are payable on 30 September each year. Using a profit target ensures variable reward is only available when value has been created for shareholders and when profit is consistent with the business plan. The incentive pool is leveraged for performance above the threshold to provide an incentive for executive out-performance.

Each executive has a target STI opportunity depending on the accountabilities of the role and impact on the organisation or business unit performance. The maximum target bonus opportunity is approximately

9

REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)

40% of base pay.

Each year, the remuneration committee considers the appropriate targets and key performance indicators (KPIs) to link the STI plan and the level of payout if targets are met. This includes setting any maximum payout under the STI plan, and minimum levels of performance to trigger payment of STI.

For the year ended 30 June 2007, the KPIs linked to STI plans were based on group, individual business and personal objectives. The KPIs required performance in plant recommissioning, reducing operating costs and achieving specific targets in relation to return on assets and shareholder value added (SVA), as well as other key, strategic non-financial measures linked to drivers of performance in future reporting periods. These KPIs are generic across the executive team.

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

The remuneration committee is responsible for assessing whether the KPIs are met. To help make this assessment the committee receives detailed reports on performance from management and external remuneration consultants.

The short-term bonus payments may be adjusted up or down in line with under or over achievement against the target performance levels. This is at the discretion of the remuneration committee.

The STI target annual payment is reviewed annually.

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

2005 2006 **2007 ** 2008 2009

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted to the individuals is allocated equally over the period from grant date to vesting date, and the amount is included in the remuneration tables above. Fair values at grant date are independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

MEETING OF DIRECTORS

There were no meetings of the Company‘s board of directors held during the year ended 30 June 2009 as it was under administration for the whole period.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

The Company may decide to employ the auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties where the auditor‘s expertise and experience with the Company and/or the consolidated entity are important.

There were no non-audit services provided for the year ending 30 June 2009.

The board of directors is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the auditor, as set out in Note 22 of the financial statements, did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

  • all non-audit services have been reviewed by the audit committee to ensure they do not impact the

12

integrity and objectivity of the auditor;

  • none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants .

INSURANCE OF OFFICERS

For the year ended 30 June 2009, all directors and the specified executives of the consolidated entity were insured by the Company.

Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2009

==> picture [75 x 28] intentionally omitted <==

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated and subject to the limitations noted below. The financial report includes separate financial statements for View Resources Limited as an individual entity and the consolidated entity consisting of View Resources Limited and its subsidiaries.

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 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 2009. 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.

Going Concern

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

The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare these accounts on a going concern basis because under the DOCA effectuated on the 9th February 2011 the Company has extinguished all liabilities associated with the previous administration of the Company and has undertaken the following transactions;

  • 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

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, thereby allowing them to resign as Administrators of the Company and allowing the Company to relist on the ASX.

Upon satisfaction of all conditions associated with the reinstatement of the shares on the ASX, the Company‘s securities will be reinstated on the ASX.

Accordingly the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

a) Basis of preparation

Due to the limitation on preparation as noted above this general purpose financial report could not be prepared in accordance with the full requirements of Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.

Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2009

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Compliance with IFRS

Australian Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the consolidated financial statements and notes of View Resources Limited comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and investment property.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AIFRS 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. There were no critical estimates used in the preparation of the accounts.

Key estimates 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.

Property, plant and equipment was assessed for impairment using the net realisable value test. This is reflected in Note 12 – Property, Plant and Equipment.

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.

b) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by View Resources Limited (―Company‖ or ―parent entity‖) as at 30 June 2009 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then ended. View Resources Limited and its controlled entities together are referred to in this financial report as the consolidated entity. The effects of all transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated in full.

Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, its results are included in the consolidated statement of financial performance from the date on which control commences. Where control of an entity ceases during a financial year its results are included for that part of the year during which control existed.

19

Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2009

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for in the parent entity financial statements using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The Group‘s investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition

The Group‘s share of its associates‘ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates are recognised in the parent entity‘s statement of comprehensive income, whilst in the consolidated financial statements they reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

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

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

c) 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.

d) Income tax

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

20

Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2009

==> picture [75 x 28] intentionally omitted <==

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

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.

e) Inventories

Warehouse inventory

Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs.

Mining Stocks

Mining stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of mining stocks includes direct materials, direct labour, transportation costs and variable and fixed overhead costs relating to mining activities. The net realisable value is calculated by multiplying the recoverable contained gold by the lowest hedge price and then subtracting the costs of processing the stock to a finished product.

f) 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 balance 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.

g) 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.

Gold debtors are recognised at the current spot rate of gold.

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.

h) Leases

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases (note 24). Finance leases are capitalised at the lease‘s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short-term and long-term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the asset‘s useful life and the lease term.

21

==> picture [75 x 28] intentionally omitted <==

Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2009

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as operating leases (note 24). Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Lease income from operating leases where the Group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

i) 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.

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.

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

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

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 income statement. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to the income statement and depreciation based on the asset‘s original cost is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings.

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 each balance sheet date.

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

Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2009

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

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

j) Derivatives

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group designates derivatives as:

  • hedges of the cash flows of recognised assets and liabilities and highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).

The Group documents at the inception of the hedging transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedge items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items.

Trading derivatives are classified as current assets. The fair value of all derivatives are determined with reference to publicly disclosed gold curve information. The value attached to the derivatives coincides with the maturity dates of the derivatives and this value is then discounted back using the base rate of interest as published by the Reserve Bank.

Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in equity in the hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement within other income or other expense.

Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled in the income statement in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss (for instance when the forecast sale that is hedged takes place).

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the income statement.

k) Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current mid price (half way between current bid and offer prices).

23

Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2009

==> picture [75 x 28] intentionally omitted <==

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

l) Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset‘s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset‘s carrying value. Any excess of the asset‘s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.

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

m) 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.

n) Trade creditors

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

o) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceed (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities which are not an incremental cost relating to the actual draw-down of the facility, are expensed to the income statement.

Borrowings and other financial liabilities are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities acquired, is recognised in other income or other expense.

o) 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.

24

==> picture [75 x 28] intentionally omitted <==

Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2009

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

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 financial performance.

The ultimate recoverability of all exploration, evaluation and development expenditure is dependent upon the successful commercial exploitation of the economic reserves at Bronzewing.

p) 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.

q) Restoration, rehabilitation and environmental expenditure

The group has obligations to restore certain sites it occupies on cessation of operations. Under AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent assets, the group is required to recognise a provision for the present value of restoring the site. This is done by discounting the expected expenditure on rehabilitation at the end of mine life. The unwind of this discount is expensed to the income statement over the mine life.

r) 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 subsequently ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

s) Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes deposits at call with financial institutions and other highly liquid investments with short periods to maturity which are readily convertible to cash on hand and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

t) Revenue

Revenue from the sale of gold is recorded at its fair value of gold price at the time of sale. The Group records the sale once the risks and rewards of gold ownership has been transferred.

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

u) Employee benefits

(i) Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other creditors in respect of employees‘ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.

(ii) Employee benefit on-costs

Employee benefit on-costs, including payroll tax, are recognised and included in employee benefit liabilities and costs when the employee benefits to which they relate are recognised as liabilities.

(iii) Share based payments

The Company provides benefits to employees (including directors) of the Company in the form of rights over shares (‗equity-settled transactions‘). The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a Black Scholes model. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‗vesting date‘). The cumulative expense recognised for equitysettled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition. Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of modification. Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2009

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

v) Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

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

w) 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.

Comparative figures

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

New accounting standards and interpretations

The AASB has issued new, revised and amended standards and interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The Group has decided against early adoption of these standards. A discussion of those future requirements and their impact on the Group follows:

  • AASB 3: Business Combinations, AASB 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, AASB 2008-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 3 and AASB 127 [AASBs 1,2,4,5,7,101,107, 112, 114, 116, 121, 128, 131, 132, 133, 134, 136, 137, 138 & 139 and Interpretations 9 & 107] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 July 2009) and AASB 2008-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate [AASB 1, AASB 118, AASB 121, AASB 127 & AASB 136] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). These standards are applicable prospectively and so will only affect relevant transactions and consolidations occurring from the date of application. In this regard, its impact on the Group will be unable to be determined. The following changes to accounting requirements are included:

  • acquisition costs incurred in a business combination will no longer be recognised in goodwill but will be expensed unless the cost relates to issuing debt or equity securities;

  • contingent consideration will be measured at fair value at the acquisition date and may only be provisionally accounted for during a period of 12 months after acquisition;

  • a gain or loss of control will require the previous ownership interests to be remeasured to their fair value;

  • there shall be no gain or loss from transactions affecting a parent‘s ownership interest of a subsidiary with all transactions required to be accounted for through equity (this will not represent a change to the Group‘s policy);

27

==> picture [75 x 28] intentionally omitted <==

Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2009

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

  • dividends declared out of pre-acquisition profits will not be deducted from the cost of an investment but will be recognised as income;

  • impairment of investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates shall be considered when a dividend is paid by the respective investee; and

  • where there is, in substance, no change to Group interests, parent entities inserted above existing groups shall measure the cost of its investments at the carrying amount of its share of the equity items shown in the balance sheet of the original parent at the date of reorganisation.

  • The Group will need to determine whether to maintain its present accounting policy of calculating goodwill acquired based on the parent entity‘s share of net assets acquired or change its policy so goodwill recognised also reflects that of the non-controlling interest.

  • AASB 8: Operating Segments and AASB 2007-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 8 [AASB 5, AASB 6, AASB 102, AASB 107, AASB 119, AASB 127, AASB 134, AASB 136, AASB 1023 & AASB 1038] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). AASB 8 replaces AASB 114 and requires identification of operating segments on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Group‘s Board for the purposes of decision making. While the impact of this standard cannot be assessed at this stage, there is the potential for more segments to be identified. Given the lower economic levels at which segments may be defined, and the fact that cash generating units cannot be bigger than operating segments, impairment calculations may be affected. Management does not presently believe impairment will result however.

  • • AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements, AASB 2007-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101, and AASB 2007-10: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101 (all applicable to annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). The revised AASB 101 and amendments supersede the previous AASB 101 and redefines the composition of financial statements including the inclusion of a statement of comprehensive income. There will be no measurement or recognition impact on the Group. If an entity has made a prior period adjustment or reclassification, a third balance sheet as at the beginning of the comparative period will be required.

  • AASB 123: Borrowing Costs and AASB 2007-6: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 123 [AASB 1, AASB 101, AASB 107, AASB 111, AASB 116 & AASB 138 and Interpretations 1 & 12] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). The revised AASB 123 has removed the option to expense all borrowing costs and will therefore require the capitalisation of all borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Management has determined that there will be no effect on the Group as a policy of capitalising qualifying borrowing costs has been maintained by the Group.

  • AASB 2008-1: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standard – Share-based Payments: Vesting Conditions and Cancellations [AASB 2] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). This amendment to AASB 2 clarifies that vesting conditions consist of service and performance conditions only. Other elements of a share-based payment transaction should therefore be considered for the purposes of determining fair value. Cancellations are also required to be treated in the same manner whether cancelled by the entity or by another party.

  • AASB 9: Financial Instruments and AASB 2009–11: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 102, 108, 112, 118, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 136, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 10 & 12] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).

28

Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2009

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

These standards are applicable retrospectively and amend the classification and measurement of financial assets. The Company has not yet determined the potential impact on the financial statements.

The 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; and

  • reclassifying financial assets 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.

AASB 2009–4: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project [AASB 2 and AASB 138 and AASB Interpretations 9 & 16] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 July 2009) and AASB 2009-5: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project [AASB 5, 8, 101, 107, 117, 118, 136 & 139] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2010).

These standards detail numerous non-urgent but necessary changes to accounting standards arising from the IASB‘s annual improvements project. No changes are expected to materially affect the Company.

AASB 2009–10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards — Classification of Rights Issues [AASB 132] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 February 2010). These amendments clarify that rights, options or warrants to acquire a fixed number of an entity‘s own equity instruments for a fixed amount in any currency are equity instruments if the entity offers the rights, options or warrants pro-rata to all existing owners of the same class of its own non-derivative equity instruments. These amendments are not expected to impact the Company.

AASB 2009–12: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASBs 5, 8, 108, 110, 112, 119, 133, 137, 139, 1023 & 1031 and Interpretations 2, 4, 16, 1039 & 1052] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011).

This standard makes a number of editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of International Financial Reporting Standards by the IASB. The standard also amends AASB 8 to require entities to exercise judgment in assessing whether a government and entities known to be under the control of that government are considered a single customer for the purposes of certain operating segment disclosures. These amendments are not expected to impact the Company.

View Resources Limited and its subsidiaries do not anticipate early adoption of any of the above reporting requirements and does not expect these requirements to have any material effect on the Group‘s financial statements.

The company has taken advantage of the relief provided by Corporations Regulation 2M.6.04 and has transferred the detailed remuneration disclosures to the directors‘ report. The relevant information can be found in sections A-D of the remuneration report on pages 8 to 16.

However 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 2009. Most of the information relating to Key management personnel for the year ended 30 June 2009 has been excluded or is incomplete due to the required information not being available as all the information and knowledge resided with the previous directors and Administrators and the accounting records as provided are not complete enough to extract details of remuneration and Key management personnel for the year ended 30 June 2009. The current Board is not able to determine who was Key management personnel at the time and is not able to ascertain full details of the disclosures required.

Most of the information relating to related party transactions for the year ended 30 June 2009 has been excluded or is incomplete due to the required information not being available as all the information and knowledge resided with the previous directors and Administrators and the accounting records as provided are not complete enough to extract details of who all the related parties are and payments made.

The current Board is not able to determine who was Key management personnel at the time and is not able to ascertain full details of the disclosures required.

27. Events occurring after reporting date

View Gold entered into a binding sale agreement with Navigator (Bronzewing) Pty Ltd (―Navigator‖) on 1 April 2009 in relation to the sale and purchase of View Gold‘s Bronzewing assets (including all tenements, infrastructure and associated agreements and environmental liabilities attached to the tenements) for an amount of $16.0 million (―Purchase Price‖). The Purchase Price was comprised of cash of $9.5 million and the assumption, by Navigator, of the existing environmental liabilities of $4.2 million and additional environmental bond liabilities imposed by the Department of Mines and Petroleum (―DMP‖) of $2.3 million in connection with View Gold's tenements. All completion conditions were satisfied on 30 August 2009 and the completion of the sale occurred on 30 September 2009. Total settlement proceeds in the amount of $9.5 million were received and $4.14 million released to View Nickel with respect to the DMP environmental bonds that View Nickel assumed on behalf of View Gold pursuant to the loan agreement.

Throughout the administration, the Administrators have been in discussions with a number of parties regarding the possible restructure and recapitalisation of the Group including View Resources‘ major shareholder, IMC.

Following the second adjourned meeting of creditors held on 25 July 2008 whereby creditors accepted a DOCA proposal presented by Austral-Asia Resources and Infrastructural Investments Pty Ltd (―AARII‖), View Resources entered into a DOCA on 15 August 2008. As certain conditions under the DOCA had not been satisfied, a third meeting of creditors was held on 12 January 2010 whereby creditors accepted the Varied DOCA proposal presented by AARII. The terms of this DOCA provided that the effectuation of the View Resources DOCA is subject to the conditions of the View Nickel DOCA being effectuated and fund monies being distributed by 20 December 2010; and under the terms of the View Nickel DOCA, the Deed Administrators must realise View Nickel's 30% interest in the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture by 20 December 2010. The Deed Administrators were not in a position to realise View Nickel‘s interest in the CHJV and distribute the proceeds by 20 December 2010.

27. Events occurring after reporting date (Continued)

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

The major terms of the Syndicate‘s Varied DOCA Proposal (the DOCA Proposal) are as follows:

  1. The Syndicate will pay a total amount of $900,000 to the Deed Administrators as follows:

  2. a) $675,000 to the Deed Administrators in consideration for View Resources‘ shareholding in View Nickel, the View Resources loan to View Nickel and the debt owed to View Resources by View Gold, all the subject of View Nickel‘s charge over View Resources. This amount will be paid to the secured creditor given its existing outstanding debt; and

  3. b) $225,000 to the Deed Administrators to be distributed to the View Resources‘ Creditors‘ Trust in full and final satisfaction of View Resources‘ unsecured creditor claims;

  4. Payment of $1,225,000 to the VNI Trustees of which $1,200,000 is to be paid to AARII in consideration of the AARII Debt.

  5. The completion of the DOCA Proposal is subject to:

  6. a. Prior to 31 January 2011, the ASX not revoking its stance that View Resources does not need to re-comply with chapters 1 & 2 of the ASX Listing Rules;

  7. b. Receiving View Resources‘ creditor approval to the Varied DOCA Proposal;

  8. c. Obtaining various shareholder approvals, including but not limited to proposed capital raisings, share consolidations and director appointments;

  9. d. Preparation of the View Resources‘ financial accounts by the Deed Administrators;

  10. e. Payment of the secured creditors cash consideration of $675,000 within five (5) business days of receiving View Resources shareholder approval;

  11. f. View Gold to be removed from the View Resources‘ group structure; and

  12. g. The Deed Administrators obtaining varied (or new) section 477A orders.

At completion, the DOCA Proposal will terminate as a result of being wholly effectuated, and:

  1. View Resources unsecured creditor claims will be extinguished against View Resources and each unsecured creditor will have a claim against the Creditors Trust Fund for the same amount of any claim they would have had against View Resources;

  2. View Resources will be released from all creditor claims; and

  3. The View Resources Creditors Trust Fund will be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Creditors Trust Deed which applies the same statutory priorities as a liquidation scenario.

On the 9th February 2011 the Varied 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;

  • 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.

30. Share-based payments (continued)

The weighted average share price at the date of exercise of options exercised during the year ended 30 June 2009 was $Nil (2008 - $0.20).

The weighted average remaining contractual life of share options outstanding at the end of the period was 0.30 years (2008 – 1.30 years).

Fair value of options granted

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted during the year ended 30 June 2009 was Nil cents per option (2008 – 20 cents). The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a BlackScholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and the expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option

31. Financial Risk Management

For the period 8th February 2008 to 9th 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 2009. Therefore, the current directors are unable to assess the financial risk management policies that existed at 30 June 2009.

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 statement of financial position as at 30 June 2009, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 . This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. Because of the matter discussed in the Basis for Disclaimer of Auditor’s Opinion paragraph, we were not able to complete an audit in accordance with Auditing Standards.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Basis for Disclaimer of Auditor’s Opinion

The company and consolidated entity were placed into administration on 8 February 2008. Consequently, the financial information relating to the year under audit was not subject to the same accounting and internal controls processes, which includes the implementation and maintenance of internal controls that are relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report. Whilst the books and records of the company and consolidated entity have been reconstructed to the maximum extent possible, we were unable to satisfy ourselves as to the completeness of the general ledger and financial records as well as the relevant disclosures in the financial report and hence unable to form an opinion on the financial report.

As stated in Note 1, the Directors are unable to state that the financial report is in accordance with all the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the Australian Accounting Standards.

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. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd and BDO (Australia) Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation (other than for the acts or omissions of financial services licensees) in each State or Territory other than Tasmania.

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2009. 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.

Basis for Disclaimer of Auditor’s Opinion

The company and consolidated entity were placed into administration on 8 February 2008. Consequently, the financial information relating to the year under audit was not subject to the same accounting and internal controls processes, which includes the implementation and maintenance of internal controls that are relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the remuneration report. Whilst the books and records of the company and consolidated entity have been reconstructed to the maximum extent possible, we were unable to satisfy ourselves as to the completeness of the general ledger and financial records as well as the relevant disclosures in the remuneration report.
