Review of Operations

These Financial Statements cover the period from 1 July 2008 to 31 December 2008. The Company had been under voluntary administration from 8[th] February 2008 to the 9[th] February 2011 during which time it had entered into a Deed of Company Arrangement and Reconstruction Deed which provides for existing debts as at the time of appointment of the Administrators to be extinguished and facilitates the Company being recapitalised and reinstated to quotation on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). These Financial Statements report results and the financial position that are not representative of the position of the Company following completion of the recapitalisation and should not be used as the basis for any decision about the Company or its prospects.

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.

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.

Events Subsequent to 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.

DIRECTORS REPORT CONT’D

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

  10. f. View Gold to be removed from the View Resources’ group structure; and

  11. 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.

DIRECTORS REPORT CONT’D

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 during 2011.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION

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 31 December 2008. However, there may be information that the Directors have not been able to obtain, the impact of which may or may not be material on the financial statements for the half-year.

Due to the limitations noted above this general purpose financial report for the half-year consolidated financial statements could not be prepared in accordance with the full requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , and Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting.

This financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2008 which was prepared based on Australian Equivalent to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) and any public announcements made by View Resources Limited and its controlled entities during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 .

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, subject to the limitations noted above.

Going Concern

The financial statements for the half-year 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 financial statements for the half-year 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,

  • 9 -

View Resources Limited ABN 95 009 162 949

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008

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.

NOTE 6: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The current directors are not aware of whether there are any changes in contingent liabilities from the 30 June 2008 annual report.

NOTE 7: EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO 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 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.

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

  2. 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;

  3. b. Receiving View Resources’ creditor approval to the Varied DOCA Proposal;

  7. f. View Gold to be removed from the View Resources’ group structure; and

  8. 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 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 sometime in May/June 2011.
