Dear Fellow Shareholder

On behalf of the Board of Glengarry Resources, I am pleased to introduce the Company's Annual Report for the financial year to 30 June 2008.

In the past year Glengarry has focussed most of its exploration effort on its wholly owned Greenvale Project, including the Maitland copper deposit, in North Queensland. Resource drilling on the open pittable portion of the Maitland deposit was undertaken and an economic scoping study completed. While the study indicated that the Maitland deposit was too small to support the building of a stand-alone processing facility, it did confirm that treatment of its ore through an existing third party processing plant could be viable.

Consequently, the Maitland deposit was recently sold to nearby operator Kagara Limited for \$6.5 million cash plus a retained royalty. A sale rather than joint venture was favoured as Glengarry will not be exposed to mining risk and copper price risk. As exploration elsewhere on the Greenvale Project had not defined any additional base metal resources that could be mined in conjunction with Maitland, this area was also included in the sale.

In the past three months, post the decision to sell Greenvale/Maitland, Glengarry has rapidly refocussed its exploration efforts to several other wholly owned Australian projects. These include the large Citadel Project in north-west Western Australia and the new Percyvale and Hampstead Projects in North Queensland.

The Citadel Project area was initially applied for in early 2006 but protracted negotiations with Native Title owners has meant that access approval has only recently been gained. Obligatory heritage surveys will shortly commence and a major exploration program to test some 18 gold-copper targets is scheduled to start at the beginning of the 2009 field season. The planned \$1,000,000 program will involve some 10,000 metres of aircore/percussion drilling.

Initial exploration on the new Percyvale Project has already defined targets on two gold-copper prospects where no previous drilling has been undertaken. An initial 2,700 metre drilling program is scheduled to commence in October 2008.

During the past financial year Glengarry expended a total of \$3.1 million on exploration and associated administration costs, up from \$2.2 million the previous year. It was planned to expend a total of \$5 million on these activities during the period but some scheduled work programs had to be curtailed because of a lack of drill rigs and a shortage of suitably qualified geologists, both caused by the "resources boom". This situation has now become less critical and Glengarry was able to employ two additional geologists in April-May 2008 and drill rigs have started to become available. We are confident that the proposed \$3.9 million exploration and associated administration budget for 2008/2009 will not be impacted by similar problems.

The past twelve months has been somewhat of a rollercoaster ride for Glengarry shareholders and the stock market in general. Our current share price at the time of writing this report is a disappointing 4.1 cents compared to the 14 cent price when I reported to you some twelve months ago. Glengarry's share price in this period has basically tracked the overall market fluctuations with a peak of 21 cents in November 2007 when the All Ordinaries hit 6800 and a low of 3.8 cents on "Black Thursday", the 18th of September 2008.

While the performance of the overall stock market is beyond our control, the outlook for the mining industry looks healthy with metal prices remaining moderately high and continuing strong world demand for resources commodities.

The good news is that despite the current weak stock market, Glengarry is in a very strong financial position with \$11.8 million in cash and short term investments available to fund planned ongoing exploration efforts on existing wholly owned Australian properties.

In addition, our Company is actively pursuing new resource business opportunities. As a result of the severe market downturn, many of our competitor companies now have depleted cash reserves and conditions for raising additional equity finance remain difficult. Consequently, an increasing number of potential new acquisition opportunities are becoming available for

Glengarry to consider. We have recently engaged Hartleys Limited to assist us in identifying potential quality merger and acquisition opportunities and to provide general corporate advice.

As I have already mentioned, Glengarry is in a robust financial position. This time last year, the Company had some \$9 million in cash and short term investments. Now, despite an active exploration program in the last twelve months, the Company still has \$11.8 million in cash and investments available to fund ongoing exploration. More importantly, your Company has no foreseeable need to raise additional equity funds in the current weak market at a low share price.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome new Non-Executive Director Mr Geoff Clifford to our Board. Geoff joined the Board last month and he has more than 30 years experience in senior accounting, finance and business administration.

I am happy to report that the Board remains extremely optimistic about your Company's future. Our stated prime corporate objective is to build value in Glengarry by discovering or acquiring a mineral deposit of sufficient size to support a stand-alone processing facility. We are confident that we now have the funding and the people in place to achieve this objective.

In conclusion I would like to thank our Managing Director Mr David Richards and his now considerably expanded Exploration Team for their efforts in the past year. Also, a special thanks to Mr Geoff James, our Chief Financial Officer, whose strong personal contribution has well and truly vindicated a decision last year to make the CFO role a fulltime position.

Also thanks to all of our shareholders for your continuing support. It has been a difficult year for most investors in the stock market and I assure you that the Board and the Management of Glengarry will be doing all they can to significantly improve shareholder value in the coming twelve months. Along with other Directors, I look forward to meeting you personally and/or answering any queries that you may have at the Company's Annual General Meeting. This will again be held at the Celtic Club in West Perth on Monday the 24th of November 2008.

Keith G McKay Chairman

26 September 2008

Summary

Glengarry Resources Limited is a Perth-based exploration company undertaking mineral exploration in Australia. The Company's main focus is exploring for base metals, gold and related metals on wholly owned projects within Australia (Figure 1) and assessing the acquisition of advanced projects that may complement the existing exploration portfolio. Glengarry's prime objective is to discover or acquire a mineral deposit that supports stand alone processing facilities.

During the financial year (the year) Glengarry conducted exploration on several wholly owned projects while a number of others were subject to joint ventures managed by other parties.

During the first half of the year, the Company focussed on resource drilling at the Maitland Copper Deposit located within the Greenvale Project in North Queensland. An indicated Mineral Resource of 1.5 million tonnes @ 1.48% copper and 0.02% molybdenum was estimated at Maitland and optimisation studies indicated that the deposit could be amenable to mining and trucking to an established mill. A detailed review of the Maitland resource was conducted to determine how best to realise value from the asset. Following this review, a conditional agreement was reached with Kagara Ltd, for Kagara to purchase the Maitland Copper Deposit and surrounding Greenvale Project. Consideration for the sale, which was approved by shareholders on 9 September 2008, was \$6.5 million cash plus a royalty on future production exceeding 1,000,000 tonnes of ore mined.

Elsewhere in North Queensland, Glengarry commenced work on the new, wholly owned Percyvale and Hampstead Projects. At Percyvale, results from the initial phase of work were very encouraging with strong goldcopper anomalism defined by soil and rock chip sampling at the Bernadette and Maggies prospects. Drill follow up is planned for October 2008.

Figure 1: Locations of Glengarry Projects

Operations Review (continued)

The Company continued to advance the Citadel Project located approximately 100 kilometres north of Telfer in northwest Western Australia. Access agreements were concluded with Traditional Owners and the remaining applications should be granted in late 2008, paving the way for Glengarry to commence a major exploration program on the Project. Glengarry envisages an exploration spend of some \$1,000,000 which will include approximately 10,000 metres of aircore/percussion drilling to follow up multiple targets. This program is scheduled to commence at the beginning of the 2009 field season.

During the year, Glengarry substantially reduced its exploration activities in the Mt Isa region of western Queensland. The Snake Creek Project has been farmed out to a local explorer and the Cannington Project was relinquished.

Glengarry ended the year in a strong financial position and, following settlement of the sale of the Greenvale Project, will have in excess of \$11 million cash to fund exploration and new project development.

Respected base metal miner Kagara Ltd increased its holding in Glengarry to approximately 20% of the Company's issued capital and has indicated that it intends to remain a supportive, substantial shareholder.

QUEENSLAND PROJECTS

GREENVALE PROJECT (Sold to Kagara Ltd)

The Greenvale Project is situated 200 kilometres west of Townsville in North Queensland (Figure 2) and has been the focus of Glengarry's exploration activities since 2005. During the year, the Company conducted resource drilling at the Maitland prospect and successfully delineated a small copper resource that was potentially amenable to mining and trucking to an existing milling facility. Exploration elsewhere on the Project did not define any other targets that warranted drilling.

Following a comprehensive review of the Greenvale Project including the commissioning of an independent scoping study on the Maitland Copper Deposit, the Company concluded that the discovery of a deposit that could support its own milling facilities was unlikely. It was also determined that developing the Mineral Resource defined at Maitland (see below) as a stand-alone mining project was not economically justifiable. Following this detailed review, Glengarry announced the conditional sale of the Greenvale Project in June 2008 to Kagara Ltd. Kagara has development expertise and nearby mining and milling infrastructure and the sale provides the best alternative to maximise economic return to Glengarry shareholders. Details of the sale agreement are given on Page 13 under "Sale of Greenvale Project".

Maitland Copper Deposit

During the last quarter of 2007, Glengarry completed resource drilling at the Maitland Copper Deposit. The drilling comprised 67 reverse circulation percussion drill holes for a total 8,467 metres and was designed to define the open pittable portion of the deposit on a 20 by 20 metre pattern down to a depth of 150 to 200 metres below the surface.

An independent geological consultant group, Cube Consulting Pty Ltd, was engaged to estimate a resource for the deposit using results of drilling undertaken by Glengarry since August 2005. Most of the results came from the drilling referred to above.

A summary of the Mineral Resources estimated for the Maitland deposit, which also contains significant molybdenum, is tabled below. The Mineral Resources are based on cut off grades of 0.5% copper.

JORC
Class
Tonnes
(Kt)
Cu% Mo% Cu (t) Mo (t)
Indicated 1,450 1.49 0.02 21,500 300
Inferred 40 1.09 0.01 500
Total 1,490 1.48 0.02 22,000 300

Independent Engineering consultant group, Lower Quartile Solutions Pty Ltd was commissioned to run provisional pit optimisations using Whittle software on the Indicated portion of the Maitland Mineral Resource. The optimisation studies indicated potentially positive cash flows for copper prices as low as A\$5,000 per tonne assuming that limited infrastructure was constructed on site and that the ore was transported to an established mill up to 350 kilometres away. At current copper prices (~\$8,000t) it was estimated that a small mineable reserve of approximately 125,000 tonnes @ 3% copper could be defined within the existing Mineral Resources.

PERCYVALE PROJECT (Glengarry 100%)

The new Percyvale Project is located in North Queensland approximately 300 kilometres west of Townsville (Figure 2) in a geological region known to host economic deposits of a number of different metals including gold, copper, lead-zinc-silver, uranium and molybdenum. The world class Kidston gold deposit which has produced 4.5 million ounces of gold is located approximately 30 kilometres east of the Project area (Figure 2).

The Project tenement was granted in April 2008 and Glengarry commenced fieldwork in May 2008. First pass mapping, soil sampling and prospecting have defined large, polymetallic anomalies at the Bernadette and Maggies prospects. In addition, a review of geophysical data collected during previous company exploration has identified potential drill targets at the Black Soil Creek prospect.

Bernadette Prospect

A 2.5 kilometre long, northeast trending zone containing strongly anomalous copper, gold and silver has been defined at the Bernadette prospect (Figure 3). Limited bedrock channel sampling (Figure 3) has been carried out where outcrop exposure is sufficiently continuous. Better results include:

  • 5 metres @ 1.1% copper, 2.6 g/t gold and 42 g/t silver
  • 3 metres @ 4.23% copper, 1.04 g/t gold and 24 g/t silver
  • 2 metres @ 2.2% copper, 4.5 g/t gold and 14 g/t silver

Additional rock chip samples elsewhere at Bernadette have also recorded high grade copper, gold and silver values that warrant further exploration (Figure 3). Strongly elevated levels of zinc, lead and molybdenum are associated with the mineralised trend.

The geological setting at Bernadette is complex and several styles of mineralisation have been observed. The channel results are hosted by malachite (copper carbonate) stained, strongly ferruginous material

Operations Review (continued)

Figure 3: Percyvale Project Bernadette Prospect – Anomalous Soil and Rock Results

interpreted to be after primary sulphide mineralisation. Gold-silver mineralisation has also been recorded in a number of parallel quartz veins up to 1 metre thick and 200 metres long.

An isolated occurrence of secondary, high grade uranium mineralisation reported by previous explorers on the north western margin of the prospect area has been confirmed by Glengarry sampling (Figure 3). However, the significance of this is uncertain at this stage. The potential for economic uranium mineralisation at Percyvale was last assessed in the 1970s and is yet to be fully evaluated by Glengarry.

Follow up work comprising infill soil sampling and detailed geological mapping is planned for Bernadette to determine the continuity and orientation of the different styles of mineralisation. Initial drill testing is planned for October 2008.

There has been no previous drilling in the Bernadette area.

Maggies Prospect

At Maggies, follow up of previous rock chip and soil sampling carried out by BHP (1994-1995) and Rio (2004-2006) has identified a northwest-southeast trending gossanous (ex-sulphide) horizon up to 16 metres wide and over a strike length of at least 1 kilometre. Soil sampling has delineated a strong copper anomaly (Figure 4) coincident with the gossanous horizon and a composite rock chip sample across the sub cropping, thickest part of the unit recorded 15.9% copper, 0.32 g/t gold and 11 g/t silver. With the exception of site preparation, no further work is required prior to drill testing which will be completed as part of the same drilling program planned for the Bernadette prospect in October 2008.

As with Bernadette, there has been no prior drilling at the prospect.

Figure 4: Percyvale Project Maggies Prospect – Anomalous Soil and Rock Results

Black Soil Creek Prospect

Previous exploration by BHP defined extensive Broken Hill style base metal and silver anomalism coincident with a strong, conductive EM anomaly. This geochemical anomalism has been validated by check sampling completed by Glengarry. Limited drilling by BHP intersected moderate zinc-lead-copper-silver mineralisation (up to 6.8 metres @ 1.5% Zn, 0.1% Pb, 0.24% Cu and 11.5 g/t Ag); however, potential for the discovery of an ore body large enough to meet BHP's criteria was downgraded.

BHP's drilling appears to have focussed on the strongest part of geochemical anomalism which would be influenced by outcrop exposure and not necessarily reflect the best mineralisation. Reprocessing and reinterpretation of the EM data indicates a number of conductors that have not yet been drill tested. These conductors may be defining massive sulphide horizons containing high grade base metal mineralisation. Drill testing of these targets will be completed as part of the initial drilling program planned for the other prospects at Percyvale in October 2008.

HAMPSTEAD PROJECT (Glengarry 100%)

The new Hampstead Project is located approximately 300 kilometres west southwest of Townsville in North Queensland (Figure 2) and consists of 6 mainly contiguous EPM applications covering approximately 875 square kilometres.

The Project covers the southern extension of the Georgetown Inlier, the same geological sequence that underlays the Percyvale and Greenvale Projects. The Project is considered prospective for gold, base metals and uranium.

The Running Creek EPM which covers approximately 15% of the total Project area and includes the south eastern margin of the Hampstead Project (Figure 2) was granted in April 2008 and initial field reconnaissance was undertaken in June 2008. All other EPM applications are currently being processed and are not yet accessible.

Exploration by Utah Development in the Running Creek area in the early 1980s recorded multiple high grade uranium values (up to 1.38% U3 O8 ) from rock chip sampling coincident with a large 8 x 8 kilometre radiometric anomaly. Reconnaissance by Glengarry to relocate the sites of this high grade uranium is planned for the coming year.

On the remainder of the Project area which has not yet been granted, previous exploration has defined a number of large gold anomalies. The most significant is the Area 4 anomaly where Houston Oil defined a 2 kilometre long, plus 200 ppb gold-in soil anomaly in 1981 coincident with a major structure. Limited diamond core drilling by Houston Oil intersected up to 53 metres @ 0.5 g/t gold indicating potential for significant bedrock mineralisation.

Fieldwork will commence on the Area 4 prospect and a number of other targets when the other EPM applications at Hampstead are granted.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA

CITADEL PROJECT (Glengarry 100%)

The wholly owned Citadel Project covers approximately 1,400 square kilometres in the Paterson geological province and is located 100 kilometres north of the Telfer gold mine (Figure 5). The region contains several world class metal deposits including Telfer (26 Moz gold, 1 Mt copper), Nifty (1 Mt copper) and Kintyre (36 Kt tonnes U3 O8 ).

The prospective bedrock within the Project area is entirely covered by barren, transported sediments which have prevented the effective use of traditional exploration techniques. Consequently, the Project remains very under explored despite its obvious metal potential.

Previous exploration by other companies within the Citadel project area discovered high grade copper/gold mineralisation at the Magnum prospect. Mineralisation, which includes intersections up to 8 metres @ 4.4% copper and 15 metres @ 14.1 g/t gold, remains open along strike and at depth.

A comprehensive review of previous exploration data has identified 18 additional priority targets within Glengarry's land holding which are ready for immediate drill follow up. Targets include untested airborne EM anomalies and copper-gold geochemical anomalies defined by previous companies. Glengarry has already planned an approximate \$1 million, 10,000 metre aircore/percussion drilling program to further test Magnum and the 18 new priority targets.

During the last Quarter of the year, Glengarry executed an Access Agreement with the Traditional Owners of the southern Exploration Licence applications which includes the Magnum area and most of the priority targets. The Western Australian Department of Industry

Figure 5: Citadel Project Area

and Resources has advised Glengarry that the southern two Exploration Licences are expected to be granted in late October 2008. The Company has previously signed an Access Agreement with the Native Title claimants of the northern exploration Licences and these have already been granted.

Heritage surveys will be required prior to commencement of drilling. It is planned to undertake these surveys during the second half of 2008 which will enable the proposed drilling program to commence in April 2009, immediately after the summer period.

NORTHERN TERRITORY

RUM JUNGLE PROJECT (Glengarry 100%)

The Rum Jungle Project comprises three contiguous exploration licences covering an area of approximately 125 square kilometres located 65 kilometres south of Darwin in the Northern Territory.

Previous explorers intersected high grade gold mineralisation at the Acacia North prospect (up to 6 metres @ 11.3 g/t gold) which is open in all directions. Glengarry has designed a 1,000 metre reverse circulation percussion drill program to test for extensions of the gold mineralisation.

Unfortunately, the Company's attempts to carry out the proposed drilling program have been unsuccessful due to an ongoing shortage of suitable drill rigs in the Northern Territory. All preparatory work has been completed to enable drilling to occur as soon as an appropriate rig becomes available.

JOINT VENTURE FARM-OUTS

Glengarry has three properties being managed by joint venture partners and is currently finalising a farm out agreement on a fourth property.

Lucky Creek JV Project (North Queensland)

The Lucky Creek JV tenements are located immediately northeast of the Greenvale Project (Figure 2) and are subject to a Joint Venture Agreement with Beacon Minerals Limited (Beacon). Under the terms of the Agreement, Beacon can earn 80% equity in the Lucky Creek JV, with Glengarry free carried until the completion of a positive feasibility study.

During the 2006/2007 year, Beacon carried out drill testing at the Steam Engine gold prospect and completed an airborne electro-magnetic survey (VTEM) over the northern part of the JV area. This work identified a number of targets which Beacon plans to follow up during the second half of 2008.

Mt Guide JV Project (Western Queensland)

The Mt Guide Joint Venture is located 35 kilometres south of Mt Isa and covers the southern strike extension of the stratigraphy that hosts the world class Mt Isa, Hilton and George Fisher base metal deposits.

Glengarry has a 10% free carried interest in the project which was previously subject to a JV agreement with Summit Resources. Exploration is now being managed by unlisted UK company MM Mining Plc (MMM) which has negotiated an agreement to acquire Summit's equity in the Joint Venture.

MMM completed a heli-borne VTEM survey in June 2008 and the data will be processed and interpreted early next year. The survey covered the Isa Fault Zone with EM and magnetic data collected from lines 200 metres apart. Geological mapping will also be completed to assist with the interpretation of the geophysical data.

Inningarra JV Project (Northern Territory)

The Inningarra Project is located in the Northern Territory approximately 35 kilometres southwest of the multi-million ounce Callie gold deposit near the southern margin of the prospective Tanami-Granites geological complex. Rocks belonging to the prospective Dead Bullock Formation, which hosts the Callie Deposit, are interpreted to occur beneath younger transported sediments which cover most of the 193 square kilometre property.

Glengarry entered into a joint venture with Newmont Tanami Pty Ltd in 2003 whereby Newmont must spend \$275,000 to earn 70% equity in the Inningarra Project. Newmont is responsible for negotiating access to the tenement with the Traditional Owners. Disappointingly,

these negotiations are yet to be finalised and exploration has not yet commenced.

Snake Creek Project (Western Queensland)

The Snake Creek Project is located in northwest Queensland approximately 125 kilometres east-southeast of Mt Isa. The Project is prospective for copper-gold and uranium mineralisation.

Following a review of exploration data, the Company has elected to seek a JV partner for the Project. Expressions of interest were received from a number of parties and Glengarry has agreed to terms for a farm-out agreement with a company with extensive exploration assets in the region. Legal documentation is being prepared for execution early in the coming year.

TERMINATED PROJECTS

Cannington Project (Western Queensland)

The Cannington Project is located immediately southwest of BHP Billiton's Cannington silver-lead-zinc mine in western Queensland. Exploration by Glengarry failed to define significant mineralisation and attempts to joint venture the property during the year were unsuccessful. Consequently, Glengarry elected to relinquish the property.

CORPORATE MATTERS

CASH POSITION AND INVESTMENTS

At the end of June 2008, Glengarry had approximately \$5.13 million in cash.

Glengarry investments in other public listed companies were valued at approximately \$1.1 million.

EXPLORATION EXPENDITURE

Glengarry expended a total of \$3.1 million on exploration and associated administration costs in the year under review. Expenditure on direct exploration was approximately \$2.1 million which is 55% more than last year. Administration costs increased 29% to \$1.0 million.

The Company intends to increase expenditure in 2008/ 2009 and has budgeted approximately \$3.9 million for exploration and administration next year. Direct exploration expenditure will comprise 65% of the planned expenditure.

KAGARA LTD – SUBSTANTIAL SHAREHOLDER

On 3 August 2007 Glengarry announced that it had raised \$4,375,000 via a placement of 35,000,000 ordinary shares fully paid at 12.5 cents per share to Kagara Ltd. The shares were issued at a premium to the share price. Subsequent to the placement, Kagara purchased an additional 21,600,000 Glengarry shares on the market and now owns a total of 56,600,000 shares which represents 19.79% of Glengarry's total issued capital.

SALE OF GREENVALE PROJECT

In June 2008, Glengarry announced the conditional sale of the Greenvale Project including the Maitland Copper Deposit to Kagara Ltd. Consideration for the sale was \$6.5 million cash and a royalty of \$5 per tonne in respect of all ore processed in excess of one million tonnes. Glengarry will retain the rights to a royalty on future uranium production which is subject to a separate agreement completed last year with TSX listed Mega Uranium Limited.

An Independent Experts study completed by RSM Bird Cameron concluded that the sale of the Greenvale Project to Kagara was fair and reasonable. The study also established that there were a number of significant advantages to Glengarry if the sale was completed.

Under the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange, the Company was required to seek approval for the proposed sale of the Greenvale Project to Kagara Ltd from its shareholders as Kagara is a substantial shareholder in Glengarry.

Glengarry shareholders formally approved the sale of the Greenvale Project to Kagara Ltd at a General Meeting held on 9th September 2008.

PLACEMENT TO GINDALBIE METALS LIMITED

In September 2007, Glengarry issued Gindalbie Metals Limited 1,826,150 ordinary shares valued at 13.69 cents per share for a total value of \$250,000.

The shares were issued as payment for the technical database for the Citadel Project area which was previously held by Gindalbie. Glengarry agreed to purchase the database in April 2006 conditional on certain milestones relating to the processing of Glengarry's tenement applications being reached. These milestones were satisfied during the year.

TOTAL ISSUED CAPITAL

Following the placement of shares to Kagara Ltd and Gindalbie Metals Limited, Glengarry now has a total of 286,003,678 shares on issue.

FUTURE FUNDING

The funds realised from the sale of the Greenvale Project to Kagara will increase cash reserves to more than \$11,000,000. This will allow Glengarry to aggressively advance existing exploration projects and to pursue new business opportunities in Australia and overseas without seeking additional equity capital.

NEW APPOINTMENT

Subsequent to the end of the year, Glengarry announced on 22 August 2008 that Mr Geoff Clifford had been appointed as a non-executive Director of the Company. Mr Clifford holds a Bachelor of Business Degree and has extensive corporate knowledge and business skills relevant to the resources industry.

3. Review of operations (continued)

Exploration

During the year Glengarry focussed its exploration effort on the Maitland Copper Deposit located within the Greenvale Project in North Queensland. Resource definition drilling was completed in December 2007. Independent consultants were engaged to estimate an updated, JORC compliant resource which was then used as the basis for open pit optimisation studies. After a detailed review of the development alternatives, it was determined that a sale of the Greenvale Project was the best option to maximise economic return to Glengarry shareholders. A conditional sale agreement was entered into with Kagara Ltd in June 2008. The sale is subject to approval by Glengarry shareholders as required by the ASX Listing Rules, and this was given subsequent to the end of the financial year.

Exploration was also carried out on a number of other projects in Queensland. In North Queensland, new tenements were granted for the Percyvale and Hampstead Projects and initial fieldwork comprising mapping and rock chip and soil sampling were completed late in the year. Further work is planned on these projects once all assay results have been received and processed. During the year, the Company decided to reduce its exploration activities in western Queensland resulting in the farm out of the Snake Creek Project and the relinquishment of the Cannington Project. Elsewhere in Queensland exploration work was managed by other companies on the Lucky Creek and Mt Guide Joint Ventures.

Glengarry completed negotiations with the Native Title claimants for the Citadel Project located in the Telfer region of northwest Western Australia. Glengarry is working with the Traditional Owners to have all the tenements granted and it is expected this will be completed by October 2008. Preparations are underway to carry out Heritage Surveys over proposed drill sites before the end of the 2008 calendar year. A 10,000 metre aircore drilling program is scheduled to commence at the beginning of the 2009 field season to test targets already defined by previous exploration work.

Attempts to secure a suitable drill rig to test the Acacia North gold prospect defined previously on the Rum Jungle Project in the Northern Territory were unsuccessful. Glengarry has designed a 1,000 metre drill program to test for extensions of high grade gold mineralisation and efforts are continuing to secure a drill rig.

Corporate

The Company raised \$4,375,000 from a share placement to Kagara Ltd. The Company also issued \$250,000 worth of shares to Gindalbie Metals Limited. A total of 36,826,150 shares were issued increasing the Company's total issued capital to 286,003,678 shares. The funds will be used to advance exploration on targets within the Company's Australian projects.

4. Significant changes in the state of affairs

Other than those matters shown above, no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity occurred during the financial year.

5. Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

On 9 September 2008 shareholder approval was given for the sale of the Company's Greenvale Project to Kagara Ltd for a consideration of \$6.5 million cash and a royalty of \$5 per tonne on all ore milled from the Greenvale tenements in excess of one million tonnes. The sale was completed on 19 September 2008.

The Company has an investment in a listed company and this is recorded in the Balance Sheet at fair value. The fair value of this investment at 30 June 2008 was \$1,069,235. As at 26 September 2008 the fair value of this investment has reduced by \$341,089.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2008 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect:

(a) the consolidated entity's operations in future financial years, or

5. Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year (continued)

  • (b) the results of those operations in future financial years, or
  • (c) the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

6. Likely developments and expected results of operations

Other than likely developments contained in the "Review of Operations", further information on likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity and the expected results of operations have not been included in this report because the directors believe it would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated entity.

7. Environmental regulation

The consolidated entity is subject to the environmental laws and regulations imposed under the Mining Act 1978 (Western Australia), the Mineral Resources Act 1989 (Queensland) and the Mining Act (Northern Territory) depending on the activities being undertaken. The Company is currently engaged in exploration activities which are governed by conditions or recommendations imposed through the granting of a license or permit to explore. Compliance with these laws and regulations is regarded as a minimum standard for the Company to achieve. There were no known breaches of any environmental laws or regulations during the year.

11. Remuneration report – audited

The remuneration report is set out under the following main 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 in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.

A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The primary objective 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, and conforms with market best practice for delivery of reward. The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

  • A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (continued)
  • competitiveness and reasonableness
  • acceptability to shareholders
  • performance linked executive compensation
  • transparency
  • capital management.

In consultation with external remuneration consultants, the Company has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complimentary to the reward strategy of the organisation.

Alignment to shareholders' interests:

  • focuses on exploration success as the creation of shareholder value and returns
  • attracts and retains high calibre executives.

Alignment to program participants' interests:

  • rewards capability and experience
  • reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth
  • provides a clear structure for earning rewards
  • provides recognition for contribution.

The remuneration framework currently consists of fixed salaries and long-term incentives through participation in the Employee Share Option Plan.

The overall level of executive reward takes into account the performance of the consolidated entity over a number of years, with greater emphasis given to the current and prior year. Over the past 5 years, the consolidated entity was involved in mineral exploration and did not derive a profit and therefore growth in earnings is not considered relevant. Shareholder wealth is dependent upon exploration success and has fluctuated accordingly. During the same period, average executive remuneration has been maintained in accordance with industry standards.

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 Board also has obtained the advice of independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The Chairman's fees are determined independently to the fees of nonexecutive directors based on comparative roles in the external market.

Non-executive directors' fees

Non-executive directors' remuneration consists of set fee amounts and statutory superannuation. The current base remuneration was last reviewed with effect from 28 May 2008 and the Board decided not to increase the level of fees. Directors do not receive additional committee fees.

Non-executive directors' fees are determined within an aggregate directors' fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The total maximum currently stands at \$300,000.

Retirement allowances for non-executive directors

There is no provision for retirement allowances for non-executive directors.

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

Long-term incentives for non-executive directors

Non-executive directors are eligible to participate in the Employee Share Option Plan to provide a material additional incentive for their ongoing commitment and dedication to the continued growth of the Company. The Board considers the issue of options to be reasonable in the circumstances, to assist the Company in attracting and retaining the highest calibre of non-executive directors to the Company, whilst maintaining the Company's cash reserves. Information on the Employee Share Option Plan is set out in Note 26 on pages 67 to 69.

Executive pay

The executive pay and reward framework has three components:

  • base pay and benefits
  • long-term incentives through participation in the Employee Share Option Plan and
  • other remuneration such as superannuation.

The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.

Base pay

Structured as a total employment cost package which may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed nonfinancial benefits at the executives' discretion.

Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards. External remuneration consultants provide analysis and advice 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 included in any senior executives' contracts.

Benefits

Executives may receive benefits including professional memberships, motor vehicle allowances, reasonable entertainment allowances and other benefits as agreed between the executive and the Board of Directors.

Retirement benefits

Directors and employees are permitted to nominate a superannuation fund of their choice to receive superannuation contributions.

Employee Share Option Plan

Information on the Employee Share Option Plan is set out in Note 26 on pages 67 to 69.

Options are granted under the Employee Share Option Plan which was approved by shareholders at the 2007 annual general meeting. All staff are eligible to participate in the scheme (including executive and non-executive directors) unless the Board in its absolute discretion determine otherwise.

Options are granted under the scheme for no consideration and are granted for a period of up to 5 years.

D. Share-based compensation (continued)

The terms and conditions of each grant of options affecting remuneration in this or future reporting periods are as follows:

Grant date Expiry date Exercise

Vesting date
10 April 2006 10 April 2011 15.0 cents \$0.0332 10 April 2008

(1) Fair value as determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Options granted under the scheme carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share. The exercise price of options is determined by the Board in its absolute discretion but having regard to the market value of the Company's shares when it resolves to offer the options.

It is the intention of the Company to introduce a policy that prohibits those that are granted share-based payments as part of their remuneration from entering into arrangements that limit their exposure to losses that would result from share price decreases. The policy would require all directors and key management personnel to sign annual declarations of compliance with this policy throughout the period.

Details of options over ordinary shares provided as remuneration to each director of Glengarry Resources Limited and each of the key management personnel of the group are set out below:

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted 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 share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

D. Share-based compensation (continued)

No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party, for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings.

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.

The board of directors has considered the position and in accordance with the advice received from the Audit Committee 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 nature and scope of each type of non-audit service provided means that auditor independence was not compromised.

The auditor received or is due to receive the following amounts for provision of non-audit services.

This statement sets out the main corporate governance practices of the Company during the financial year, providing disclosure in accordance with the Ten Essential Corporate Governance Principles and each of the Best Practice Recommendations as published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. All these practices, unless otherwise stated, were in place for the entire year. Disclosure is made at the end of this statement of non-compliance with the Recommendations.

Further details of the various charters, policies, codes and procedures that document the Company's corporate governance practices are set out in the Company's website at www.glengarry.com.au.

The Board of Directors and Management

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

Day to day management of the Company's affairs and the implementation of the corporate strategy and policy initiatives are formally delegated by the Board to the Managing Director and senior executives. These delegations are reviewed on an annual basis.

The Board operates in accordance with the broad principles set out in its charter which is available from the corporate governance information section of the Company's website at www.glengarry.com.au. The charter details the Board's composition and responsibilities.

Board Members

Details of the members of the Board, their skills, experience, expertise, qualifications, term of office and independent status are set out in the Directors' Report under the heading "Information on directors". There are three independent non-executive directors and one executive director at the date of signing the Directors' Report.

Directors' Independence

The Board has adopted specific principles in relation to directors' independence and these are set out in its charter. The names of the directors considered to be independent are set out in the Directors' Report.

The principles adopted by the Board employ the concept of materiality. Materiality for these purposes is determined on both quantitative and qualitative bases. An amount of over 5% of annual turnover of the Company or 5% of the individual director's net worth is considered material for these purposes. In addition, a transaction of any amount or a relationship is deemed material if knowledge of it impacts the shareholders' understanding of the director's performance.

Term of Office

The Company's Constitution specifies that all non-executive directors must retire from office no later than the third annual general meeting following their last election. Where eligible, a director may stand for re-election.

Responsibilities of Management

The Board charter sets out the responsibilities of management and details are available on the Company's website.

Independent Professional Advice

Directors and Board Committees have the right, in connection with their duties and responsibilities, to seek independent professional advice at the Company's expense. Prior written approval of the Chairman is required, but this will not be unreasonably withheld.

The Board of Directors and Management (continued)

Performance Assessment

During the year the Board undertook a self assessment of its collective performance, the performance of the Chairman and of its Committees. The self assessment involved a questionnaire process that reviewed performance effectiveness attributes. The Chairman assessed the performance of individual directors and met privately with each director to discuss this assessment.

The performance of senior executives is assessed by the Managing Director. The assessment involves an annual review of performance and development and the results of the review are formally documented.

Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee operates in accordance with its charter which is available on the Company's website. The Committee shall consist of at least two non-executive directors with relevant expertise and experience in the industries in which the Company operates. The Committee advises the Board on remuneration and incentive policies and practices generally, and makes specific recommendations on remuneration packages and other terms of employment for executive directors, other senior executives and non-executive directors.

Each member of the senior executive team signs an employment contract at the time of their appointment covering a range of matters, including their duties, rights, responsibilities and any entitlements on termination. The standard contract refers to a specific formal job description. This job description is reviewed by the Remuneration Committee on an annual basis and, where necessary, is revised in consultation with the relevant employee.

Further information on directors' and executives' remuneration is set out in the Remuneration Report.

Executive remuneration and other terms of employment is reviewed annually by the Committee having regard to personal and corporate performance, contribution to long term growth, relevant comparative information and independent expert advice. As well as a base salary and compulsory superannuation, remuneration packages may include retirement and termination entitlements, performance-related bonuses and fringe benefits. Non-executive directors and executives are eligible to participate in the Employee Share Option Plan which provides for the issue of options in the Company.

Details of the qualifications of directors of the Remuneration Committee and their attendance at Committee meetings are set out in the Directors' Report.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee operates in accordance with its charter which is available on the Company's website. The Committee shall consist of at least two non-executive directors with appropriate financial expertise and working knowledge of the industries in which the Company operates.

The responsibilities of the Committee include the review, assessment and approval of the annual report, the half-year financial report and all other financial information published by the Company or released to the market. The Committee assists the Board in reviewing the effectiveness of the organisation's internal control environment covering the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, reliability of financial reporting and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Committee oversees the effective operation of the risk management framework.

In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Audit Committee receives regular reports from management and the external auditors. It also meets with the external auditors at least twice a year.

The Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer have certified to the Board that the Company's financial reports present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the Company's and Group's financial condition and operational results and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards.

Audit Committee (continued)

Details of the qualifications of directors of the Audit Committee and their attendance at Committee meetings are set out in the Directors' Report.

External Auditors Policy

The Company policy is to appoint external auditors who clearly demonstrate quality and independence. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed annually and applications for tender of external audit services are requested as deemed appropriate, taking into consideration assessment of performance, existing value and tender costs. KPMG were appointed as the external auditor on 28 November 2006. It is KPMG's policy to rotate audit engagement partners on listed companies at least every five years.

An analysis of fees paid to the external auditors, including a break-down of fees for non-audit services, is provided in the Directors' Report and in Note 23 to the financial statements. The external auditors are required to provide an annual declaration of their independence to the Audit Committee. The external auditor is required to attend the annual general meeting and be available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report.

Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee consists of the full Board and it operates in accordance with its charter which is available on the Company's website. The responsibilities of the Committee include the annual review of the membership and performance of the Board, reviewing candidates for vacancies and succession planning.

Risk Assessment and Management

The Board is responsible for ensuring there are adequate policies in relation to risk management, compliance and internal control systems. These policies are available on the Company's website. In summary, the Company policies are designed to ensure strategic, operational, legal, reputation and financial risks are identified, assessed, addressed and monitored to enable achievement of the Company's business objectives.

Considerable importance is placed on maintaining a strong control environment. There is a framework with clearly drawn lines of accountability and delegation of authority. Adherence to the Company's Code of Conduct (see page 32) is required at all times and the Board actively promotes a culture of quality and integrity.

The Company's risk management policy is managed by the full Board. The Board conducts an annual corporate strategy workshop which reviews the Company's strategic direction in detail and includes specific focus on the identification of the key business and financial risks which could prevent the Company from achieving its objectives. The Board is required to ensure that appropriate controls are in place to effectively manage those risks.

Detailed control procedures cover management accounting, financial reporting, project appraisal, environment, health and safety, information technology security, compliance and other risk management issues. The Board requires that each major proposal submitted to the Board for decision be accompanied by a comprehensive risk assessment and, where required, management's proposed mitigation strategies.

Senior management are responsible for designing, implementing and reporting on the adequacy of the Company's risk management and internal control system. The Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer have certified to the Board that the integrity of the financial statements is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the policies adopted by the Board. They have also certified that the Company's risk management and internal compliance and control systems are operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects.

Risk Assessment and Management (continued)

Environment, Health and Safety Management

The Company recognises the importance of environmental and occupational health and safety (OH&S) issues and is committed to the highest levels of performance. To help meet this objective the Board facilitates the systematic identification of environmental and OH&S issues and ensures they are managed in a structured manner. This system allows the Company to:

  • monitor its compliance with all relevant legislation;
  • continually assess and improve the impact of its operations on the environment;
  • encourage employees to actively participate in the management of environmental and OH&S issues;
  • work with trade associations representing the entity's business to raise standards;
  • use energy and other resources efficiently; and
  • encourage the adoption of similar standards by the entity's principal suppliers, contractors and distributors.

Information on compliance with significant environmental regulations is set out in the Directors' Report.

Code of Conduct

The Company has developed a statement of values and a Code of Conduct (the Code) which has been fully endorsed by the Board and applies to all directors and employees. The Code is regularly reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure it reflects the highest standards of behaviour and professionalism and the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Company's integrity. In summary, the Code requires that at all times, all Company personnel act with the utmost integrity, objectivity and in compliance with the letter and the spirit of the law and Company policies.

The purchase and sale of the Company's securities by directors and employees is not permitted within two business days after the release to the market of market sensitive information, or when otherwise privy to information not yet released. The Chairman must be advised prior to any proposed transaction in the Company's securities by directors. Directors, officers and employees must not partake in short-term trading of the Company's securities which is defined as less than a 30 day period.

This Code and the Company's trading policy is discussed with each new employee as part of their induction training. The Code requires employees who are aware of unethical practices within the Group or breaches of the Company's trading policy to report these to the Company. This can be done anonymously. The directors are satisfied that the Group has complied with the principles of proper ethical standards, including trading in securities.

A copy of the Code and the share trading policy are available on the Company's website.

Continuous Disclosure and Shareholder Communication

The Company has written policies and procedures on information disclosure that focus on continuous disclosure of any information concerning the Company and its controlled entities that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price of the Company's securities. These policies and procedures also include the arrangements the Company has in place to promote communication with shareholders and encourage effective participation at general meetings. A summary of these policies and procedures is available on the Company's website.

The Company Secretary has been nominated as the person responsible for communications with the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). This role includes responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements in the ASX Listing Rules and overseeing, in conjunction with the Managing Director, information disclosure to the ASX, analysts, brokers, shareholders, the media and the public.

Continuous Disclosure and Shareholder Communication (continued)

All information disclosed to the ASX is posted on the Company's website on the same day it is released to the ASX. When analysts are briefed on aspects of the Company's operations, the material used in the presentation is released to the ASX and posted on the Company's website prior to the presentation made. Procedures have also been established for reviewing whether any price sensitive information has been inadvertently disclosed, and if so, this information is also immediately released to the market.

The Company seeks to provide opportunities for shareholders to participate through electronic means. All Company announcements, media briefings, details of Company meetings, press releases, and financial reports are available on the Company's website.

Non-Compliance Statement

The Company has not followed all of the Recommendations set out in Australian Securities Exchange Limited Listing Rule 4.10.3. The Recommendations that have not been followed and the explanation of any departures are as follows:

  • The Remuneration Committee and Audit Committee should be structured so that they have at least three members. Due to the small size of the Board, the Remuneration Committee and Audit Committee consisted of only two members during the financial year. From 22 August 2008 the Remuneration Committee and Audit Committee were expanded to three members with the appointment of Mr G T Clifford as a non-executive director of the Company.
  • Non-executive directors should not receive options. Non-executive directors are eligible to participate in the Employee Share Option Plan to provide a material additional incentive for their ongoing commitment and dedication to the continued growth of the Company. The Board considers the issue of options to be reasonable in the circumstances, to assist the Company in attracting and retaining the highest calibre of non-executive directors to the Company, whilst maintaining the Company's cash reserves.
  • A separate Nomination Committee has not been formed. The role of the Nomination Committee is carried out by the full Board. The Board considers that given its size, no efficiencies or other benefits are gained by establishing a separate Nomination Committee.

Note 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. The financial report contains separate financial statements for Glengarry Resources Limited ("Parent" or "Company") and the consolidated entity consisting of Glengarry Resources Limited and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group").

(a) Basis of preparation of the financial report

Statement of compliance

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial report of the Group and the financial report of the Company comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The financial report was authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 26 September 2008.

Basis of measurement

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) measured at fair value.

Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the Company's functional currency and the functional currency of the majority of the Group.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

(b) Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Glengarry Resources Limited as at 30 June 2008 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.

Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group (refer to Note 1(g)).

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(c) Segment reporting

A business segment is 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 engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment and is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

(d) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid. Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method.

(e) Income tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Temporary differences are calculated using the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

Tax consolidation legislation

Glengarry Resources Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation.

The head entity, Glengarry Resources Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the Group continued to be a stand alone taxpayer in its own right.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Glengarry Resources Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the group. Details about the tax funding agreement are disclosed in Note 7.

(e) Income tax (continued)

Any difference between amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly owned tax consolidated entities.

(f) Leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. 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.

(g) Acquisition of assets

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all acquisitions of assets (including business combinations) regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange unless, in rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator of fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

(h) Impairment of assets

(i) Financial assets

A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. An impairment loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset is calculated by reference to its current fair value.

Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.

All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any cumulative loss in respect of an available-forsale financial asset recognised previously in equity is transferred to profit or loss.

(h) Impairment of assets (continued)

(i) Financial assets (continued)

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost and available-for-sale financial assets that are debt securities, the reversal is recognised in profit or loss. For available-for-sale financial assets that are equity securities, the reversal is recognised directly in equity.

(ii) Non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Group's non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the "cash-generating unit"). The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(i) Financial instruments

(i) Non-derivative financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables.

Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit and loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.

A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group's contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group's obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

(i) Financial instruments (continued)

(i) Non-derivative financial instruments (continued)

For cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

Collectibility of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the impairment is recognised in the income statement.

Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are measured at fair value.

The Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories:

Held-to-maturity investments

If the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold debt securities to maturity, then they are classified as held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

Available-for-sale financial assets

The Group's investments in equity securities and certain debt securities are classified as available-for-sale financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses (refer note 1(h)) are recognised directly in a separate component of equity. When an investment is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss in equity is transferred to profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

An instrument is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it is held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial instruments are designated at fair value through profit or loss if the Group manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Group's documented risk management or investment strategy. Upon initial recognition, attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss when incurred. Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised in profit or loss.

Other

Other non-derivative financial instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

(i) Financial instruments (continued)

(i) Non-derivative financial instruments (continued)

The fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets is determined by reference to their quoted bid price at the reporting date. The fair value of held-to-maturity investments is determined for disclosure purposes only.

(ii) 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.

(j) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale and stated at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition.

Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.

(k) Plant and equipment

Items of plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of plant and equipment at 1 July 2004, the date of transition to AASBs, was determined by reference to its fair value at that date.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Cost also may include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of plant and equipment.

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.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of plant and equipment and are recognised net within "other income" in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation reserve are transferred to retained earnings.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

(k) Plant and equipment (continued)

Machinery 10-15 years
Vehicles 3-5 years
Furniture, fittings and equipment 3-8 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 (Note 1(h)).

(l) Provisions

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

(m) Employee benefits

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

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables 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) Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(iii) Retirement benefit obligations

The Group contributes to various defined contribution funds for its employees. Contributions to the defined contribution funds are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

(iv) Share-based payments

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Employee Share Option Plan. The fair value of options granted under the Employee Share Option Plan is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options.

(m) Employee benefits (continued)

(iv) Share-based payments (continued)

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

The market value of shares issued to employees for no cash consideration under the Employee Share Option Plan is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity when the employees become entitled to the shares.

(n) Finance income and expenses

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested, gains on disposal of available-for-sale financial assets and changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.

Finance expense comprises interest expense on borrowings, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, impairment losses recognised on financial assets and losses on disposal of availablefor-sale financial assets. All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.

(o) Earnings per share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes and share options granted to employees.

(p) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs, which are intangible costs, including the costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the consolidated entity has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in the income statement.

Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and either:

  • the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or, alternatively, by its sale; or
  • activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.

(p) Exploration and evaluation expenditure (continued)

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from intangible assets to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment.

(q) Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office is included with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the Australian Taxation Office, are presented as operating cash flow.

(r) Jointly controlled operations and assets

The interests of the Group in unincorporated joint ventures and jointly controlled assets are brought to account by recognising in its financial statements the assets it controls, the liabilities that it incurs, the expenses it incurs and its share of income that it earns from the sale of goods or services by the joint venture.

(s) Foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the retranslation of availablefor-sale equity instruments, which are recognised directly in equity.

(t) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been identified as those which may impact the entity in the period of initial application. They are available for early adoption at 30 June 2008, but have not been applied in preparing this financial report:

(i) Revised AASB 3 Business Combinations changes the application of acquisition accounting for business combinations and the accounting for non-controlling (minority) interests. Key changes include: the immediate expensing of all transaction costs; measurement of contingent consideration at acquisition date with subsequent changes through the income statement; measurement of non-controlling (minority) interests at full fair value or the proportionate share of the fair value of the underlying net assets; guidance on issues such as reacquired rights and vendor indemnities; and the inclusion of combinations by contract alone and those involving mutuals. The revised standard becomes mandatory for the Group's 30 June 2010 financial statements. The Group has not yet determined the potential effect of the revised standard on the Group's financial report.

(t) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted (continued)

(ii) AASB 8 Operating Segments introduces the "management approach" to segment reporting. AASB 8, which becomes mandatory for the Group's 30 June 2010 financial statements, will require disclosure of segment information based on the internal reports regularly reviewed by the Managing Director in order to assess each segment's performance and to allocate resources to them. Application of AASB 8 may result in different segments, segment results and different types of information reported in the segment note of the financial report.

(iii) AASB 2007-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 8 makes amendments to AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued operations, AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, AASB 102 Inventories, AASB 107 Cash Flow Statements, AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting, AASB 136 Impairment Assets, AASB 1023 General Insurance Contracts and AASB 1038 Life Insurance Contracts. AASB 2007-3 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 and must be adopted in conjunction with AASB 8 operating Segments. This standard is only expected to impact disclosures contained within the financial report.

(iv) Revised AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements introduces as a financial statement (formerly "primary" statement) the "statement of comprehensive income". The revised standard does not change the recognition, measurement or disclosure of transactions and events that are required by other AASBs. The revised AASB 101 will become mandatory for the Group's 30 June 2010 financial statements. The Group has not yet determined the potential effect of the revised standard on the Group's disclosures.

(v) AASB 2005-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (September 2005) makes consequential amendments to AASB132 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation, AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, AASB 114 Segment Reporting, AASB 117 Leases, AASB 133 Earnings per share, AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards, AASB 4 Insurance Contracts, AASB 1023 General Insurance Contracts and AASB 1038 Life insurance Contracts arising from the release of AASB 7. AASB 2005-10 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008 and is expected to only impact disclosures contained within the consolidated financial report.

(vi) Revised AASB 123 Borrowing Costs removes the option to expense borrowing costs and requires that an entity capitalise borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that asset. The revised AASB 123 which becomes mandatory for the Group's 30 June 2010 financial statements, is not expected to have any effect on the financial report.

(vii) Revised AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements changes the accounting for investments in subsidiaries. Key changes include: the remeasurement to fair value of any previous/retained investment when control is obtained/lost, with any resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss; and the treatment of increases in ownership interest after control is obtained as transactions with equity holders in their capacity as equity holders. The revised standard will become mandatory for the Group's 30 June 2010 financial statements. The Group has not yet determined the potential effect of the revised standard on the Group's financial report.

(viii) AASB 2008-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standard - Share-based Payment: Vesting Conditions and Cancellations changes the measurement of share-based payments that contain non-vesting conditions. AASB 2008-1 becomes mandatory for the Group's 30 June 2010 financial statements. The Group has not yet determined the potential effect of the amending standard on the Group's financial report.

(ix) AI 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes addresses the accounting by entities that operate, or otherwise participate in, customer loyalty programmes for their customers. It relates to customer loyalty programmes under which the customer can redeem credits for awards such as free or discounted goods or services. AI 13, which becomes mandatory for the Group's 30 June 2009 financial statements, is not expected to have any impact on the financial report.

(t) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted (continued)

(x) AI 14 IAS 19 – The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction clarifies when refunds or reductions in future contributions in relation to defined benefit assets should be regarded as available and provides guidance on the impact of minimum funding requirements (MFR) on such assets. It also addresses when a MFR might give rise to a liability. AI 14, which becomes mandatory for the Group's 30 June 2009 financial statements, is not expected to have any impact on the financial report.

Note 2. Financial risk management

The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from the use of financial instruments:

  • Credit Risk
  • Liquidity Risk
  • Market Risk

The Company and the Group does not use any form of derivatives as it is not at a level of exposure that requires the use of derivatives to manage those risks. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring there are adequate policies in relation to financial risk management. Policies are designed to ensure risks are identified, assessed, addressed and monitored to enable achievement of the Group's business objectives. Considerable importance is placed on maintaining a strong control environment. There is a framework with clearly drawn lines of accountability and delegation of authority.

The financial risk management policy is managed by the full Board. The Board assesses material risks that may impede meeting business objectives. The Board is required to ensure that appropriate controls are in place to effectively manage those risks.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not complete its obligation under a financial instrument that will result in a financial loss to the Group. Credit risk arises from cash and deposits with banks and financial institutions as well as outstanding security deposits. The Group limits exposure to credit risk by only investing cash and deposits with banks that have a credit rating of at least A1 from Standard and Poor's. Security deposits are lodged with either banks or with government agencies. Management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. At balance date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was as follows:

Note 2. Financial risk management (continued)

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial commitments as they arise. The Board continually reviews the liquidity position of the Group including cash flow forecasts to determine the forecast liquidity position and maintain appropriate liquidity levels. The Group does not have any external borrowings. The contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date were as follows:

193,414 231,954 193,414 218,641

All financial liabilities are payable in 30 days or less.

(c) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.

(i) Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk arises from holding cash in United States Dollars (USD) and holding securities listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (Canadian Dollars – CAD). The Board conducts regular reviews of the Group's exposure and currently there are no foreign exchange programmes in place. The exposure of financial instruments to foreign exchange risk at the reporting date was as follows:

Consolidated Parent entity
2008 2007 2008 2007
A\$ A\$ A\$ A\$
Cash (USD) 1,560 1,768 1,560 1,768

1,070,795 4,550,308 1,070,795 4,550,308

A 10% weakening of the Australian dollar against the above currencies at balance date would have had the equal but opposite effect to the amounts shown above, assuming all other variables remain constant.

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises from holding financial instruments that are subject to movements in interest rates. The Group ensures that as far as possible it maintains excess cash in short term deposits at interest rates maturing over 90 day rolling periods. The Group has no borrowings and no hedging programs were in place during the year. The exposure of financial instruments to interest rate risk at the reporting date was as follows:

Consolidated Parent entity
2008 2007 2008 2007
\$ \$ \$ \$
Financial assets 1,321 6,644 1,321 6,644

(iii) Equity price risk

Equity price risk arises from movements in market prices for listed securities held by the Group (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk). Investments are managed on an individual basis and material buy and sell decisions are approved by the Board. The sensitivity of financial instruments held at balance date to a 10% movement in equity prices is shown below. It is assumed all other variables remain constant:

The objectives for managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Glengarry Resources Limited is a junior exploration company and it is dependent from time to time on its ability to raise capital from the issue of new shares and its ability to realise value from its exploration and evaluation assets.

The Board is responsible for capital management. This involves the use of cash flow forecasts to determine future capital management requirements. Capital management is undertaken to ensure a secure, cost-effective and flexible supply of funds is available to meet the Group's operating and capital expenditure requirements.

Note 3. Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are discussed below.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

The Company has carrying balances for exploration and evaluation. Each year the Company assesses whether these balances have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 1(h).

Note 4. Segment information

(e) Tax consolidation legislation

Glengarry Resources Limited and its whollyowned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2002. The accounting policy in relation to this legislation is set out in note 1(e).

On adoption of the tax consolidation legislation, the entities in the tax consolidated group entered into a tax sharing agreement which, in the opinion of the directors, limits the joint and several liability of the whollyowned entities in the case of a default by the head entity, Glengarry Resources Limited.

Note 7. Income tax (continued)

(e) Tax consolidation legislation (continued)

The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the whollyowned entities fully compensate Glengarry Resources Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by Glengarry Resources Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Glengarry Resources Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the whollyowned entities' financial statements.

The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year. The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments. The funding amounts are recognised as current intercompany receivables or payables.

Employee Share Option Plan

The Employee Share Option Plan ("Plan") was approved by shareholders at the 2007 annual general meeting. All employees (including directors) are eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan replaced the previous Employee Incentive Scheme ("Scheme").

Options to acquire shares are issued on the following terms under the Plan:

  • The Board of Directors may determine which employees and Directors are entitled to participate in the Plan and the extent of the participation.
  • The Board of Directors may offer options to any eligible person at such times and on such terms as the Board considers appropriate.
  • The exercise price of the options will be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion but having regard to the market value of the Company's shares when it resolves to offer the options.
  • If an Offeree as defined in the Plan ceases to be a Director or an employee after an option has become exercisable, the options may be exercised during the following 3 months or such longer period as the Board determines.
  • Options are granted under the Plan for no consideration and carry no dividend or voting rights.
  • When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Glengarry Resources Limited

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Glengarry Resources Ltd (the Company), which comprises the balance sheets as at 30 June 2008, and the income statements, statements of recognised income and expense and cash flow statements for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes 1 to 32 and the directors' declaration of the Group 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 control 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. In note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies 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. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal controls. 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 performed the procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations), a view which is consistent with our understanding of the Company's and the Group's financial position and of their performance.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

KPMG, an Australian partnership and member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International, a Swiss cooperative.

Auditor's opinion

In our opinion:

  • (a) the financial report of Glengarry Resources Ltd is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the Company's and the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2008 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and
  • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
  • (b) the financial report of the Group also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in note 1.

Report on the remuneration report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in paragraphs 11a to 11e of the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2008. 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 auditing standards.

Auditor's opinion

In our opinion, the remuneration report of Glengarry Resources Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2008, complies with Section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
