coRpoRate GoVeRnance StateMent

The Board of Directors of Eromanga Uranium Limited has established corporate governance policies and procedures, where practicable, consistent with the revised Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations issued by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (“ASX Recommendations”).

The following statement sets out a summary of the Company’s corporate governance practices that were in place during the financial year and how those practices relate to the revised Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations issued by the Australian Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Council (“ASX Recommendations”). The Company has elected to undergo an early transition to the revised Principles and Recommendations and as such has reported against these for the financial year ending 30 June 2008.

These recommendations are not intended to be prescriptions to be followed by all ASX listed companies, but rather guidelines designed to produce an effective, quality and integrity outcome. The Corporate Governance Council has recognised that a “one size fits all” approach to Corporate Governance is not required. Instead, it states aspirations of best practice for optimising corporate performance and accountability in the interests of shareholders and the broader economy. A company may consider that a recommendation is inappropriate to its particular circumstances and has flexibility not to adopt it and explain why.

The Board has included in its corporate governance policies those matters contained in the ASX Recommendations where applicable. However, the Board also recognises that full adoption of the above ASX Recommendations may not be practical nor provide the optimal result given the particular circumstances and structure of the Company. The Board is, nevertheless, committed to ensuring that appropriate Corporate Governance practices are in place for the proper direction and management of the Company. This statement outlines the main Corporate Governance practices of the Company.

PrinciPle 1 – lay solid foundations for management and oversight

Recommendation 1.1 – Recommendation followed

The Board is governed by the Corporations Act 2001, ASX Listing Rules and a formal constitution adopted by the Company in 2006.

The role of the Board is to provide leadership and direction to management and to agree with management the aims, strategies and policies of the Company for the protection and enhancement of long-term shareholder value.

The Board takes responsibility for the overall Corporate Governance of the Company including its strategic direction, management goal setting and monitoring, internal control, risk management and financial reporting.

The Board has an established framework for the management of the entity including a system of internal control, a business risk management process and appropriate ethical standards. In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Board is supported by an Audit Committee to deal with internal control, ethical standards and financial reporting.

implementation of risk management, internal control and regulatory compliance policies and procedures, recommending strategic direction and planning for the operations of the business and the provision of relevant information to the Board.

The Board has not adopted a formal statement of matters reserved to it or a formal board charter that details its functions and responsibilities nor a formal statement of the areas of authority delegated to senior executives.

Recommendation 1.2 – Recommendation followed

The Board takes responsibility for monitoring the composition of the Board and reviewing the performance and compensation of the Company’s Executive Directors and senior management with the overall objective of motivating and appropriately rewarding performance.

The Board considers the Company’s present circumstances and goals ensure maximum shareholder benefits from the attraction and retention of a high quality Board and senior management team. The Board on a regular basis reviews the performance of and remuneration for Executive Director’s and senior management including any equity participation by such Executive Directors and senior management. The Board evaluates the performance of the Managing Director and Company Secretary on a regular basis and encourages continuing professional development.

Recommendation 1.3 – Recommendation followed

During the period the Board undertook a performance evaluation of the Managing Director, Company Secretary and senior management. The evaluation was in accordance with the Company’s process for evaluation of senior executives.

PrinciPle 2 – structure the board to add value

Recommendation 2.1 – Recommendation followed

The composition of the Board consists of four directors of whom three, including the Chairman, are Independent Directors.

The Audit Committee currently consists of two Independent directors.

Recommendation 2.2 – Recommendation followed

The Chairman, Mr Kennedy is an Independent Director

Recommendation 2.3 – Recommendation followed

Mr Kennedy’s role as Chairman of the Board is separate from that of the Managing Director, Mr Lines who is responsible for the day to day management of the Company and is in compliance with the ASX Recommendation that these roles not be exercised by the same individual.

Recommendation 2.4 – Recommendation not followed

The Board believes that given the size of the Company and the stage of the entity’s life as a publicly listed junior exploration company that the cost of establishing a Nomination Committee in line with ASX Recommendation 2.4 and establishing a formal charter as recommended by ASX Recommendation 2.4 cannot be justified by the perceived benefits of so doing.

The Board appoints a Managing Director responsible for the day to day management of the Company including management of financial, physical and human resources, development and

coRpoRate GoVeRnance StateMent

Recommendation 2.5 – Recommendation not followed

The Board recognises that as a result of the Company’s size and the stage of the entity’s life as a publicly listed junior exploration company, the assessment of the Board’s overall performance and its own succession plan is conducted on an informal basis. Whilst this is at variance with the ASX Recommendation 2.5, the Directors consider that at the date of this report an appropriate and adequate process for the evaluation of Directors is in place.

Recommendation 2.6 – Recommendation followed

The names of the directors of the Company and terms in office at the date of this Statement together with their skills, experience, expertise and financial interests in the Company are set out in the Directors’ Report section of this report.

Messrs Kennedy, Vickery and Wills are considered to be independent.

The Company has no relationships with any of the independent directors which the Company believes would compromise the independence of these directors.

All directors are entitled to take such legal advice as they require at any time and from time to time on any matter concerning or in relation to their rights, duties and obligations as directors in relation to the affairs of the Company at the expense of the Company upon seeking permission, and being granted it, by the Chairman.

The Company’s constitution specifies the number of directors must be at least three and at most ten. The Board may at any time appoint a director to fill a casual vacancy. Directors appointed by the Board are subject to election by shareholders at the following annual general meeting and thereafter directors (other than the Managing Director) are subject to re-election at least every three years. The tenure for executive directors is linked to their holding of executive office.

As the board does not have a Nomination Committee, the functions of this Committee in its absence are dealt with by the Board as a whole.

An assessment of the Board’s overall performance and its own succession plan is conducted on an informal basis and was done so during the year by the Chairman.

PrinciPle 3 – comPanies should actively Promote ethical and resPonsible decision making

Recommendation 3.1 – Recommendation not followed

While the Company does not have a formal code of conduct, as the Board believes that given the size of the Company and the stage of the entity’s life as a publicly listed junior exploration company that the cost of establishing and managing a formal code of conduct cannot be justified, the Company requires all its directors and employees to abide by the standards of behaviour, and business ethics in accordance with the law. In discharging their duties, Directors of the Company are required to:

act in good faith and in the best interests of the Company;
exercise care and diligence that a reasonable person in that role would exercise;
exercise their powers in good faith for a proper purpose and in the best interests of the Company;
not improperly use their position or information obtained through their position to gain a personal advantage or for the advantage of another person to the detriment of the Company;
disclose material personal interests and avoid actual or potential conflicts of interests;
keep themselves informed of relevant Company matters;
keep confidential the business of all directors meetings; and
observe and support the Board’s Corporate Governance practices and procedures.

Directors are also required to provide the Company with details of all securities registered in the director’s name or an entity in which the director has a relevant interest within the meaning of section 9 of the Corporations Act 2001 and details of all contracts, other than contracts to which the Company is a party to which the director is a party or under which the director is entitled to a benefit, and that confer a right to call for or deliver shares in the Company and the nature of the director’s interest under the contract.

Directors are required to disclose to the Board any material contract in which they may have an interest. In accordance with Section 195 of the Corporations Act 2001, a director having a material personal interest in any matter to be dealt with by the Board, will not be present (unless requested by the Board to be present) when that matter is considered by the Board and will not vote on that matter.

Recommendation 3.2 – Recommendation followed

Directors, officers and employees are not permitted to trade in securities of the Company at any time whilst in possession of price sensitive information not readily available to the market. Section 1043A of the Corporations Act 2001 also prohibits the acquisition and disposal of securities where a person possesses information that is not generally available and which may reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the price of the securities if the information was generally available. This securities trading policy has been established by the Board and all employees and Directors are obliged to comply.

All directors have signed agreements with the Company which require them to provide the Company with details of all securities registered in the director’s name or an entity in which the director has a relevant interest within the meaning of section 9 of the Corporations Act 2001 and details of all contracts, other than contracts to which the Company is a party to which the director is a party or under which the director is entitled to a benefit, and that confer a right to call for or deliver shares in the Company and the nature of the director’s interest under the contract.

PrinciPle 4 – safeguard integrity in financial rePorting

Recommendation 4.1 – Recommendation followed

The Company was not a company required by ASX Listing Rule 12.7 to have an Audit Committee during the year although it is an ASX Recommendation. Notwithstanding the Listing Rule requirement, an Audit Committee has been established to oversee corporate governance over internal controls, ethical standards, financial reporting, and external accounting and compliance procedures.

The main responsibilities of the Audit Committee include:

reviewing, assessing and making recommendations to the Board on the annual and half year financial reports and all other financial information published or released to the market by the Company;
overseeing establishment, maintenance and reviewing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls and ensuring efficacy and efficiency of operations, reliability of financial reporting and compliance with applicable Accounting Standards and ASX Listing Rules;
liaising with and reviewing reports of the external auditor; and
reviewing performance and independence of the external auditor and where necessary making recommendations for appointment and removal of the Company’s auditor.

Recommendation 4.2 – Recommendation not followed

The Audit Committee consists of two non-executive, independent Board directors, Messrs Vickery and Kennedy, and is chaired by Mr Vickery.

The Board believes that given the size of the Company and the stage of the entity’s life as a publicly listed junior exploration company that the cost of establishing an audit committee with at least three members in line with ASX Recommendation 4.2 cannot be justified by the perceived benefits of so doing. The existing composition of the Audit Committee is such that review and authorisation of the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting and the independence of the external auditor is via the exercise of independent and informed judgement.

Recommendation 4.3 – Recommendation not followed

The Board believes that given the size of the Company and the stage of the entity’s life as a publicly listed junior exploration company that the cost of establishing a formal audit committee charter in line with ASX Recommendation 4.3 cannot be justified by the perceived benefits of so doing.

Recommendation 4.4 – Recommendation followed

Mr Kennedy is a qualified Chartered Accountant. Details of the Audit Committee member’s qualifications and attendance at meetings are set out in the Directors’ Report section of this report.

The Committee meets at least twice per annum and reports to the Board. The Managing Director, Company Secretary and external auditor may by invitation attend meetings at the discretion of the Committee.

PrinciPle 5 – make timely and balanced disclosure Recommendation 5.1 and 5.2 – Recommendations not followed

The Company operates under the continuous disclosure requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and ensures that all information which may be expected to affect the value of the Company’s securities or influence investment decisions is released to the market in order that all investors have equal and timely access to material information concerning the Company. The information is made publicly available on the Company’s website following release to the ASX.

Due to the size of the Company and the stage of life of the entity as a publicly listed junior exploration company, the Board does not believe a formal policy for continuous disclosure is required. However, the above policy describing how the Company will ensure its compliance with continuous disclosure requirements is posted on the Company’s web-site, www.eromangauranium.com/governance.

PrinciPle 6 – resPect the rights of shareholders

Recommendation 6.1 and 6.2 – Recommendations not followed

The Board aims to ensure that shareholders are informed of all major developments affecting the Company’s state of affairs. In accordance with the ASX Recommendations, information is communicated to shareholders as follows:

the annual financial report which includes relevant information about the operations of the Company during the year, changes in the state of affairs of the entity and details of future developments, in addition to the other disclosures required by the Corporations Act 2001;
the half yearly financial report lodged with the Australian Stock Exchange and Australian Securities and Investments Commission and sent to all shareholders who request it;
notifications relating to any proposed major changes in the Company which may impact on share ownership rights that are submitted to a vote of shareholders;
notices of all meetings of shareholders;
publicly released documents including full text of notices ofmeetings and explanatory material made available on the Company’s web-site; and
disclosure of the Company’s Corporate Governance practices and communications strategy on the entity’s web-site.

The Board encourages full participation of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to ensure a high level of accountability and identification with the Company’s strategy and goals. Important issues are presented to the shareholders as single resolutions. The external auditor of the Company is also invited to the Annual General Meeting of shareholders and is available to answer any questions concerning the conduct, preparation and content of the auditor’s report. Pursuant to section 249K of the Corporations Act 2001 the external auditor is provided with a copy of the notice of meeting and related communications received by shareholders.

Due to the size of the Company and the stage of life of the entity as a publicly listed junior exploration company, the Board does not believe a formal policy for shareholder communication

EROMANGA URANIUM LIMITED ACN 119 031 864

coRpoRate GoVeRnance StateMent

is required. However, this policy describing how the Company will communicate with its shareholders is posted on the Company’s web-site, www.eromangauranium.com/governance.

PrinciPle 7 – recognise and manage risk

Recommendation 7.1, 7.2 and 7.4 – Recommendations not followed

The Board recognises that there are inherent risks associated with the Company’s operations including mineral exploration and mining, environmental, title and native title, legal and other operational risks. The Board endeavours to mitigate such risks by continually reviewing the activities of the Company in order to identify key business and operational risks and ensuring that they are appropriately assessed and managed. No formal report in relation to the Company’s management of its material business risk is presented to the Board.

Due to the size of the Company and the stage of life of the entity as a publicly listed junior exploration company, and the inherent risks associated with the industry it operates in, the Board does not believe formal policies for oversight and management of risk is required nor a mechanism for formal review be established. The policy describing how the Company manages risk by procedures established at Board and executive level can be found posted on the Company’s web-site, www.eromangauranium.com/governance.

Recommendation 7.3 – Recommendation followed

In accordance with ASX Recommendation 7.3 the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer have provided assurances that the written declarations under s295A of the Corporations Act are founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks. Both the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer provided said assurances at the time the s295A declarations were provided to the Board.

PrinciPle 8 – remunerate fairly and resPonsibly Recommendation 8.1 – Recommendation not followed

The Board believes that given the size of the Company and the stage of the entity’s life as a publicly listed junior exploration company that the cost of establishing a formal remuneration committee in line with ASX Recommendation 8.1 cannot be justified by the perceived benefits of so doing.

The Board takes responsibility for monitoring the composition of the Board and reviewing the compensation of the Company’s Executive Directors and senior management with the overall objective of motivating and appropriately rewarding performance.

Recommendation 8.2 and 8.3 – Recommendations followed

In accordance with ASX Recommendation 8.2 the Company’s remuneration practices are set out as follows.

The Company’s Constitution specifies that the total amount of remuneration of non-executive directors shall be fixed from time to time by a general meeting. The current maximum aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors has been set at $300,000 per annum. Directors may apportion any amount up to this maximum amount amongst the nonexecutive directors as they determine. Directors are also

entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, accommodation and other expenses incurred in performing their duties as directors.

Non-executive director remuneration is by way of fees and statutory superannuation contributions. Non-executive directors do not participate in schemes designed for remuneration of executives nor do they receive options or bonus payments and are not provided with retirement benefits other than salary sacrifice and statutory superannuation.

The remuneration of the Managing Director is determined by the Board as part of the terms and conditions of his employment which are subject to review from time to time. The remuneration of employees is determined by the Managing Director subject to the approval of the Board.

The Company’s remuneration structure is based on a number of factors including the particular experience and performance of the individual in meeting key objectives of the Company. The Board is responsible for assessing relevant employment market conditions and achieving the overall, long term objective of maximising shareholder benefits, through the retention of high quality personnel.

The Company does not presently emphasise payment for results through the provision of cash bonus schemes or other incentive payments based on key performance indicators of the Company given the nature of the Company’s business as a recently listed junior mineral exploration entity and the current status of its activities. However the Board may approve the payment of cash bonuses from time to time in order to reward individual executive performance in achieving key objectives as considered appropriate by the Board.

The Company also has an Employee Share Option Plan approved by shareholders that enables the Board to offer eligible employees options to ordinary fully paid shares in the Company. Under the terms of the Plan, options to ordinary fully paid shares may be offered to the Company’s eligible employees at no cost in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. The objective of the Plan is to align the interests of employees and shareholders by providing employees of the Company with the opportunity to participate in the equity of the Company as an incentive to achieve greater success and profitability for the Company and to maximise the long term performance of the Company. The non-executive directors are not eligible to participate in the Plan.

The employment conditions of the Managing Director are formalised in a contract of employment. The Managing Director’s contract may be terminated at any time by mutual agreement or without notice in serious instances of misconduct.

Further details of director’s remuneration, superannuation and retirement payments are set out in the Remuneration Report section of the Directors’ Report.

REvIEw Of OpERATIONs

During a year which has presented significant challenges to the uranium exploration sector in Australia, Eromanga Uranium has continued to strengthen its exploration portfolio and maintained its focus on actively drill testing our priority targets. The company identified the potential for the Northern Gawler Craton to host iron oxide, copper, gold and uranium mineralisation (IOCGU) and was able to secure strategic tenure over two significant gravity anomalies in the region. This IOCGU Initiative, centred on the Marla region of northern South Australia, has allowed the company to pursue a dual exploration focus targeting both large IOCGU systems at depth within the basement rocks whilst continuing to test for shallower sandstone-hosted uranium mineralisation around the margins of the Eromanga Basin.

At the Welbourn Hill IOCGU Project the company completed two deep diamond drill holes, EWHDD01 & 02, testing a large coincident gravity/magnetic anomaly. Hole EWHDD02 was successful in intersecting over 350m of intensely altered, variably brecciated and mineralised basement gneisses. Whilst the copper grades returned from this broad intersection were sub-economic, with a best intersection of 18m at 0.1% Cu, the result confirmed the presence of significant volumes of IOCGU type mineralising fluids in the project area and has given strong impetus for further exploration. The second leg of the company’s IOCGU Initiative was focussed on the Nicholson Project where a single 800m deep diamond drill hole, ENDDH01, was completed. The drill hole failed to intersect IOCGU mineralisation but only partially explains the very large gravity anomaly in the project area and the project is under review before further exploration is undertaken.

The primary focus of the company’s sandstone-hosted, or rollfront style, uranium exploration has been on our expansive tenement holdings in the Abminga and Abminga East project areas. The results of airborne EM surveys completed over the entire project area indicated the development of extensive palaeo-drainage systems in the Atlas/Baco area to the north of the township of Marla. An initial rotary-mud drilling program was completed in this area and involved 23 drill-holes for a total of 4,444m. This drilling program confirmed that the palaeodrainages, as interpreted from the airborne EM, were developed in shallow Tertiary sediments that are largely oxidised and not considered prospective for the development of significant uranium mineralisation. However, the drilling also confirmed that the company’s primary target in the deeper Mesozoic age Algebuckina Sandstone remains highly prospective with the drilling returning multiple anomalous gamma responses. Following this initial drill testing, exploration has been directed at better defining the deeper palaeo-drainages using an integrated approach that combines the airborne EM, magnetic and micro-gravity surveys. This approach has been very successful and will allow greater control of drilling during our subsequent drill campaigns.

At the Kingoonya and Billa Kalina Projects the company completed airborne EM surveys, utilising the REPTEM system, over the entire tenement holdings. Detailed computer processing and analysis of the data from these surveys has been very encouraging and has generated multiple drill targets for testing when all access requirements are finalised.

At the Marree Project the results of the first round of rotarymud drilling has focussed the company’s exploration efforts on the more easterly sector of our tenement holdings where higher uranium contents in the local source rocks give greater chances of exploration success.

Eromanga Uranium was successful in its application for new exploration tenure at the Suplejack Project in the Tanami region of the Northern Territory. This area is highly prospective for unconformity-related uranium mineralisation as well as hosting excellent gold potential. Negotiations to finalise an access agreement with the Traditional Owners are underway.

fINANcIAL pOsITION

The net assets of the company have increased by $192,886 during the financial year from $23,533,791 at 30 June 2007 to $23,726,677 at 30 June 2008. The company has been actively undertaking exploration activities and has capitalised $5,931,752 in exploration expenditure during the financial year.

The directors believe the Company is in a strong and stable

financial position to continue its exploration activities.

sIGNIfIcANT cHANGEs IN sTATE Of AffAIRs

There were no significant changes in state of affairs during the financial year.

AfTER BALANcE DATE EvENTs

No circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated group in future financial years.

fUTURE DEvELOpMENTs, pROspEcTs AND BUsINEss sTRATEGIEs

The Company remains well positioned to maintain very active exploration programs over the coming year. Whilst stock market conditions have been difficult over the last twelve months the underlying fundamentals for the global energy sector and the uranium industry in particular continue to be very healthy. This positive outlook for uranium underpins the company’s commitment to ongoing uranium exploration across our extensive project portfolio in Australia.

At the Abminga and Abminga East Projects drill based exploration programs will continue on a campaign basis throughout 2008-09. It is anticipated that access agreements with the Traditional Owners will be finalised in the second quarter of the year allowing exploration to commence on the highly prospective portion of the project area located in the Northern Territory.

At the Welbourn Hill and Nicholson Projects the company will continue to advance its IOCGU Initiative over the Northern Gawler Craton. A detailed review of all exploration results received to-date is currently underway and will form the basis for decisions on the location of future drilling campaigns.

The second round of drilling is scheduled to commence at the Marree Project early in the second quarter of 2008-09 and initial drill testing at the Kingoonya Project is anticipated to be underway early in the 2009 calendar year.

At the Suplejack Project, in the Tanami region of the Northern Territory, the company is hopeful that all pre-requisite agreements with the Traditional Owners can be in place by the third quarter of the year allowing on-ground exploration to commence immediately following the end of the wet season.

Eromanga Uranium Ltd maintains an active project review and project generation function with a strong focus on assessing acquisition and/or farm-in opportunities over more advanced

uranium properties within Australia. The Company retains a healthy balance sheet and is very well positioned to be an active participant in the growth of the uranium exploration and mining sector in the coming years.

ENvIRONMENTAL IssUEs

The consolidated group’s operations are subject to significant environmental regulation under both Commonwealth and relevant State legislation in relation to discharge of hazardous waste and materials arising from any exploration or mining activities and development conducted by the group on any of its tenements. The group believes it is not in breach of any environmental obligation.

(c) service agreements

During the financial year, the Company reviewed the employment agreement of Mr Lines in respect of his services as Managing Director. The salary was set at $250,000 per annum inclusive of superannuation guarantee contributions to be reviewed periodically. There were neither post employment retirement benefits previously approved by members of the Company in a general meeting nor any paid to Directors of the Company. There were no post employment retirement benefits paid or payable to key management personnel.

Employee share Option plan

The Company has an Employee Share Option Plan approved by shareholders that enables the Board to offer eligible employees options to acquire ordinary fully paid shares in the Company. Under the terms of the Plan, options to acquire ordinary fully paid shares may be offered to the Company’s eligible employees at no cost unless otherwise determined by the Board in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. During the year 860,500 options with a fair value of $107,052 were issued to employees at no cost. No employee share options were issued to the Directors during the year.

REMUNERATION pRAcTIcEs

The Company’s policy for determining the nature and amounts of emoluments of board members and senior executive officers of the Company is as follows.

The Company’s Constitution specifies that the total amount of remuneration of Non-executive Directors shall be fixed from time to time by a general meeting. The current maximum aggregate remuneration of Non-executive Directors has been set at $300,000 per annum. Directors may apportion any amount up to this maximum amount amongst the Nonexecutive Directors as they determine. Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, accommodation and other expenses incurred in performing their duties as Directors. The remuneration of the Managing Director is determined by the Non-executive Directors on the Board as part of the terms and conditions of his employment which are subject to review from time to time. The remuneration of other executive officers and employees is determined by the Managing Director subject to the approval of the Board.

Non-executive Director remuneration is by way of fees and statutory superannuation contributions. Non-executive Directors do not participate in schemes designed for remuneration of executives nor do they receive options or bonus payments and are not provided with retirement benefits other than salary sacrifice and statutory superannuation.

The Company does not presently emphasize payment for results through the provision of cash bonus schemes or other incentive payments based on key performance indicators of the Company given the nature of the Company’s business as a recently listed junior mineral exploration entity and the current status of its activities. However the Board may approve the payment of cash bonuses from time to time in order to reward individual executive performance in achieving key objectives as considered appropriate by the Board.

The Company also has an Employee Share Option Plan approved by shareholders that enables the Board to offer eligible employees options to acquire ordinary fully paid shares in the Company. Under the terms of the Plan, options for ordinary fully paid shares may be offered to the Company’s eligible employees at no cost unless otherwise determined by the Board in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. The objective of the Plan is to align the interests of employees and shareholders by providing employees of the Company with the opportunity to participate in the equity of the Company as an incentive to achieve greater success and profitability for the Company and to maximise the long term performance of the Company.

The employment conditions of the Managing Director, Mr Lines are formalised in a contract of employment. The base salary as set out in the employment contract is reviewed annually. The Managing Directors’ contract may be terminated at any time by mutual agreement. The Company may terminate this contract without notice in serious instances of misconduct.

noteS to the Financial StateMentS

For the year ended 30 June 2008

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 includes separate financial statements for Eromanga Uranium Limited as an individual entity and the consolidated entity consisting of Eromanga Uranium Limited and its subsidiaries.

Basis of preparation

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting standards board, Urgent Issues group Interpretations and corporations Act 2001.

Compliance with IFRS

Australian Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report of Eromanga Uranium Limited complies with International Financial Reporting Standards. (IFRS).

Historical cost convention

This financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

Accounting policies

a) Principles of consolidation

A controlled entity is any entity Eromanga Uranium Limited has the power to control the financial and operating policies of so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 13 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end.

All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the consolidated group during the year, their operating results have been included/excluded from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.

b) Income tax

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

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

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

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

the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

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

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

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

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

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

c) Plant and equipment

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets’ employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

Subsequent costs are included in the assets’ carrying amount or recognised as separate assets, 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 are they are incurred.

EROMANGA URANIUM LIMITED ACN 119 031 864

18 noteS to the Financial StateMentS continueD

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of non current asset	Depreciation rate	Basis of depreciation
Plant and equipment 12.5–40% Straight line

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.

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

d) Exploration expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.

e) Financial instruments

Recognition and initial measurement

Financial instruments, incorporation financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Classification and subsequent measurement

(i) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(ii) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that are not classified in any of the other categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.

Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

f) Impairment of assets

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

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

noteS to the Financial StateMentS continueD

g) Investments in associates

Investments in associate companies are recognised in the financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting. The equity method of accounting recognised the group’s share of post-acquisition reserves of its associates.

h) Interests in joint ventures

The consolidated group’s share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint venture operations are included in the appropriate items of the consolidated financial statements. Details of the consolidated group’s interests are shown at Note 11.

The consolidated group’s interests in joint venture entities are brought to account using the equity method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements. The parent entity’s interests in joint venture entities are brought to account using the cost method.

i) Employee benefits

Provision is made for the group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

Equity-settled compensation

The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured by the fair value at the date at which the equity instruments are granted. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The cost is recognised as an expense in the income statement with a corresponding increase in the share option reserve or issued capital when the options or shares are issued.

k) Revenue

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

l) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

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

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

m) Comparative figures

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

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group.

Key estimates — impairment

The group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-inuse calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

j) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

The options outstanding at 30 June 2008 had a weighted average exercise price of $0.295 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 3 years. Exercise prices range from $0.165 to $0.30 in respect of options outstanding at 30 June 2008.

The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the year was $0.124.

This price was calculated by using a Black Scholes option pricing model applying the following inputs: Weighted average exercise price $0.179 Weighted average life of the option 5.0 years Underlying share price $0.16 Expected share price volatility 104.9% Risk free interest rate 6.87%

Historical volatility has been the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it is assumed that this is indicative of future trends, which may not eventuate. The life of the options is based on the historical exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in the future. Included under “Administrative Expense” in the income statement is $107,052 (2007: $45,280) which relates to share-based payments in accordance with the Company’s Share Option Plan. An amount of $690,000 (2007: $690,000) is included in the Investment in Eromanga Uranium Resources Pty Ltd representing the value of the options given as part consideration of the acquisition of Eromanga Uranium Resources Pty Ltd.

	Consolidated Group	Consolidated Group	Parent Entity	Parent Entity
	2008 $	2007 $	2008 $	2007 $
Change in profit Increase in interest rate by 2% 130,781 240,822 130,781 240,822 Decrease in interest rate by 2% (130,781) (240,822) (130,781) (240,822) Change in equity Increase in interest rate by 2% 130,781 240,822 130,781 240,822 Decrease in interest rate by 2% (130,781) (240,822) (130,781) (240,822)
