Directors’ report continued

Review of operations

During the year Eromanga Uranium has placed a very strong focus on re-aligning its portfolio of exploration assets to better reflect the business environment in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis. The Company has moved to strengthen its exposure to both the gold exploration and production sectors whilst maintaining its commitment, in the medium to longer term, to uranium exploration. The Board and management of Eromanga are firm in their belief that gold prices will be maintained, at or near their current levels, in the medium term as the global economies continue to struggle with their efforts to stabilise world financial markets. Similarly the Company believes that the underlying fundamentals of the world nuclear energy sector are very strong and will continue to support uranium prices at levels that can be very rewarding for successful exploration.

The first step in strengthening the Company’s gold exploration portfolio was achieved early in 2009 with our commitment to the Nackara Arc Joint Venture in the Peterborough area of south-eastern South Australia. This exciting project covers an area of extensive historic, small scale gold workings, which have been subjected to limited modern exploration, primarily focussed around regions of higher grade vein style mineralisation. Eromanga Uranium believes that significant potential exists for the development of larger, lower grade, systems within the sedimentary sequences that surround the known mineralisation. Results from the Company’s initial phase of exploration, involving detailed surface sampling, have been very encouraging and have clearly defined a significant gold anomaly extending over 450 metres along strike and remaining open both to the west and south-east. These early results clearly justify further exploration with drill testing of the Hillside anomaly scheduled for late in calendar 2009.

The second major step in the Company’s strategic re-alignment was achieved with the acquisition in June 2009 of the Georgetown Alluvial Gold Mine in far north Queensland. The purchase of this property provided Eromanga with 100% of the operating gold mine, including all plant and equipment, 13 granted mining leases and the surrounding exploration licence. The Company immediately suspended operations and undertook a program of plant modifications and maintenance of all major items of mobile mining

equipment. During this period the Company also completed a detailed review of the permitting and mine planning requirements necessary to achieve the Company’s ambition of implementing a three-fold expansion of mine capacity. Based upon the outcomes of the review, and after discussions with relevant statutory authorities, the Company decided to delay the recommencement of mining activities and instead to embark on an aggressive trenching and bulk sampling program. This sampling program is designed to rapidly define sufficient JORC compliant gold resources, within our granted mining leases, to support the commissioning of the expanded mining operations early in calendar 2010.

In addition to the near term gold production potential of the Georgetown Operations the company acquired granted exploration licences with significant potential to host primary hard-rock gold mineralisation. Analysis of the alluvial gold deposits within the Company’s mining leases indicates there are at least seven (7) separate primary gold sources feeding into the drainage network and an aggressive exploration program has been initiated to systematically evaluate each of these areas.

At the Suplejack Gold/Uranium Project in the Tanami region of the Northern Territory the Company completed the first meeting with the Traditional Owners and, whilst pleased with the initial response of the owners, is awaiting formal notification from the Central Land Council that exploration can proceed. At the Marree and Abminga projects the Company has focused on rationalisation of the tenement holdings in order to minimise costs whilst at Billa Kalina and Kingoonya the Company is awaiting approvals from the Woomera Prohibited Area authorities before exploration can proceed.

Very considerable time and effort has been directed at ensuring that the realignment of the Company’s exploration strategy, towards an increased gold exposure, was achieved through the acquisition of quality projects. The Board of Eromanga are extremely pleased with the results achieved to-date and believe that the Company is well positioned for production growth and exploration success in the coming year.

Financial position

The net assets of the consolidated group have decreased by $8,362,857 during the financial year from $23,726,677 at 30 June 2008 to $15,363,820 at 30 June 2009. The group has been actively undertaking exploration activities and has capitalised $2,037,659 in exploration expenditure during the current financial year.

The directors believe the Company is a stable financial position to continue its exploration and operational activities.

Significant changes in state of affairs

During the year the Board decided on a change of focus to concentrate mainly on gold. Just before year-end the Company reinforced this change towards a focus on gold when it purchased all of the capital of Douglas Resources Pty Ltd, an alluvial gold operation in north Queensland.

events subsequent to balance date

There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the Directors, to affect significantly 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 intends to maintain its current strategic focus on gold and uranium in the coming year. With maiden gold production from the Georgetown operations, forecast for the March quarter of 2010, the Company believes that the resultant positive cash flows will support an ongoing and aggressive portfolio of exploration programs throughout the year. In addition the Company believes there is considerable potential to grow the resource base in the Georgetown region offering the potential to expand the levels of gold production and foster ongoing growth of Eromanga Uranium.

At the Nackara Arc Project drill testing of the Hillside gold anomaly is scheduled for the December quarter of 2009 with exploration to continue at Hillside and across the remainder of the project area throughout 2010.

At the Suplejack Gold/Uranium Project the Company intends, subject to the approval of Traditional Owners, to embark on a comprehensive exploration program early in 2010. This will involve a combination of airborne geophysical and ground based programs designed to move the project to drill testing as quickly as possible.

Exploration of the Company’s sandstone-hosted uranium properties around the margins of the Eromanga Basin will continue in 2010 as access issues are resolved and funding becomes available.

Eromanga Uranium maintains an active project review and project generation function with a strong focus on assessing acquisition and/or farm-in opportunities over more advanced gold and uranium properties within Australia. This process will continue throughout 2010 to ensure that the Company is positioned to benefit from new opportunities as and when they arise.

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 consolidated group on any of its tenements. The consolidated group believes it is not in breach of any environmental obligation.

Corporate Governance

In recognising the need for good practice in respect of corporate behaviour and accountability, the Directors support and have adhered to the principles of good corporate governance. Eromanga’s corporate governance statement follows the financial report.

At the Georgetown Gold Operations the bulk sampling program will continue throughout the remainder of calendar 2009 and the results integrated into detailed process plant design and mine planning. Gold production is planned to commence in the March quarter of 2010 immediately after the end of the north Australian wet season. Further bulk sampling programs will be conducted in parallel with mine production activities in 2010 and allow progressive extensions of mine life and/or staged expansions of mine capacity. Exploration of the regional hard-rock gold potential will continue throughout 2009-10.

Remuneration report - audited

Remuneration of Directors and key management personnel

  • a) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

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 Non-executive 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’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 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 Director’s contract may be terminated at any time on one month’s notice by either party. The Company may terminate these contracts without notice in serious instances of misconduct.

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2009

  1. Statement 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 the 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

The 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 of which Eromanga Uranium Limited has the power to control the financial and operating policies, 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 unrealized 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 of control ceased.

b) Business combinations

Business combinations occur where control over another business is obtained and results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities. All business combinations, including those involving entities under common control, are accounted for by applying the purchase method.

The purchase method requires an acquirer of the business to be identified and for the cost of the acquisition and fair values of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities to be determined as at acquisition date, being the date that control is obtained. Cost is determined as the aggregate of fair

values of assets given, equity issued and liabilities assumed in exchange for control together with costs directly attributable to the business combination. Any deferred consideration payable is discounted to present value using the entity’s incremental borrowing rate.

Goodwill is recognised initially at the excess of cost over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If the fair value of the acquirer’s interest is greater than cost, the surplus is immediately recognised in profit or loss.

  • c) Income tax

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

Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at 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 or deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.

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

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

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply for the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantially 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 recognized 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 recognized 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.

Notes to the financial statements continued

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 realization and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realization 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.

d) 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. 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 can be measure reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

e) 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 of interest are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area of interest 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 extend 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.

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 plant and equipment are from 12.5 to 40%.

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.

f) Financial instruments

Recognition and initial measurement

Financial instruments, incorporating 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 the financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction 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.

Eromanga UraniUm[|] annUal Financial rEport 2009

16

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of 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 recognized 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, comprising principally marketable equity securities are nonderivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that are not classified in any other category. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the reporting date. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed determinable payments. Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value at the reporting date, with changes in value going through equity.

  • iii) Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognized at amortised value, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.

Fair value

Fair value is determined based upon 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.

g) Impairment of assets

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

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

  • h) Investments in associates

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

  • i) Interests in joint ventures

The consolidated group’s share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint venture operations are included in 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 accounting in the consolidated financial statements. The parent entity’s interests in joint venture entities are brought to account using the cost method.

  • j) Employee benefits

Provision is made for the group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. 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 discounted using the government bond rate closest to expiry date.

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) 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.

Eromanga UraniUm[|] annUal Financial rEport 2009

17

Notes to the financial statements continued

  • l) Revenue

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

  • m) 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.

  • n) Comparative figures

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

  • o) Trade and other payables

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

p) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares.

  • q) New accounting standards for application in future periods

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

AASB 3: Business Combinations, AASB 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, AASB 2008-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 3 and AASB 127 [AASBs 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 101,107, 112, 114, 116, 121, 128, 131, 132, 133, 134, 136, 137, 138 & 139 and Interpretations 9 & 107] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 July 2009) and AASB 2008-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate [AASB 1, AASB

118, AASB 121, AASB 127 & AASB 136] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). These standards are applicable prospectively and so will only affect relevant transactions and consolidations occurring from the date of application. In this regard, its impact on the Group will be unable to be determined. The following changes to accounting requirements are included:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements, AASB 2007-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101, and AASB 200710: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101 (all applicable to annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). The revised AASB 101 and amendments supersede the previous AASB 101 and redefines the composition of financial statements including the inclusion of a statement of comprehensive income. There will be no measurement or recognition impact on the Group. If an entity has made a prior period adjustment or reclassification, a third balance sheet as at the beginning of the comparative period will be required.

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

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

AASB 2008-2: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Putable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation [AASB 7, AASB 101, AASB 132 & AASB 139 & Interpretation 2] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). These amendments introduce an exception to the definition of a financial liability to classify as equity instruments certain putable financial instruments and certain other financial instruments that impose an obligation to deliver a pro-rata share of net assets only upon liquidation.

AASB 2008-5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project (July 2008) (AASB 2008-5) and AASB 2008-6: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project (July 2008)

(AASB 2008-6) detail numerous non-urgent but necessary changes to accounting standards arising from the IASB’s annual improvements project. No changes are expected to materially affect the Group.

AASB 2008-13: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB Interpretation 17 – Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners [AASB 5 & AASB 110] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 July 2009). This amendment requires that non-current assets held for distribution to owners to be measured at the lower of carrying value and fair value less costs to distribute.

AASB Interpretation 17: Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 July 2009). This guidance applies prospectively only and clarifies that non-cash dividends payable should be measured at the fair value of the net assets to be distributed where the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the assets is recognised in profit or loss.

The Group does not anticipate early adoption of any of the above reporting requirements and does not expect these requirements to have any material effect on the Group’s financial statements.

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. Valuein-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

Exploration and evaluation

The Company’s policy for exploration and evaluation is discussed in Note 1(e). The application of this policy requires management to make certain assumptions as to future events and circumstances. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure, management concludes that the capitalised expenditure is unlikely to be recovered by future sale or exploration, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off through the income statement.

The Financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 28 September 2009.

Deferred tax assets on the timing differences have not been recognised as they do not meet the recognition criteria as outlined in Note 1(b) in the financial statements. Deferred Tax Asset (DTA) arising from tax losses of a controlled entity is not recognized at reporting date as realisation of the benefit is not regarded as probable:

- timing differences at 30%

- tax losses at 30%

The Group has deferred tax assets arising in Australia of $2,795,642 (2008: $1,765,421) that are available indefinitely for offset against future taxable profits of the companies in which the losses arise.

The options outstanding at 30 June 2009 had a weighted average exercise price of $0.287 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 26 months. Exercise prices range from $0.028 to $0.30 in respect of options outstanding at 30 June 2009.

The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the year was $0.029.

This price was calculated by using a Black-Scholes option pricing model applying the following inputs:

Weighted average exercise price $0.028
Weighted average life of the options 5 years
Underlying share price $0.034
Expected share price volatility 118.2%
Risk free interest rate 3.58%

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 $34,675 (2008: $107,052) which relates to share-based payments in accordance with the Company Employee Share Option Plan.

An amount of $690,000 (2008: $690,000) is included in the investment in Eromanga Uranium Resources Pty Ltd representing the value of the options given as part consideration for the acquisition of Eromanga Uranium Resources Pty Ltd.

Corporate governance statement

The Board of Directors of Eromanga Uranium Limited are committed to improving and achieving good standards of corporate governance and has established corporate government policies and procedures, where appropriate and practicable, consistent with the revised Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations – 2nd Edition 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 ASX Recommendations. The Company elected to undergo an early transition to the revised Principles and Recommendations and as such has reported against these for the financial years ended June 2008 and June 2009.

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 good 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.

In ensuring a good standard of ethical behaviour and accountability, 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 disclosed under the ASX Recommendations, including those that comply with good practice and which unless otherwise disclosed, were in place during the whole of the financial year ended 30 June 2009.

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.

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 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 them or a formal board charter that details their 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.

Corporate governance statement continued

Recommendation 1.3 - Recommendation followed

During the period the Board undertook an informal 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 doing so. As such, the whole Board currently carries out this function. It is anticipated that a formal charter will be developed in the coming year, as the Company develops further.

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 ad hoc 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. A more formal process of Board assessment will be considered in the future as the Company develops.

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.

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 nominations Committee, the functions of this Committee in its absence are deal with by the Board as a whole.

An assessment of the Board’s overall performance and its own succession plan is conducted on an ad hoc 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 good standards of behaviour, business ethics and 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.

Eromanga UraniUm[|] annUal Financial rEport 2009

36

Directors 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 when that matter is considered by the Board and will not vote on that matter.

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 and Corporate Governance Committee include;

  • reviewing, assessing and making recommendations to the Board on the annual and half year financial reports released to the market by the Company;

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 possess 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. A securities trading policy has been established 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.

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 when that matter is considered by the Board and will not vote on that matter.

  • overseeing establishment, maintenance and reviewing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control 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 doing so. 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

Recommendation 3.3 - Recommendation followed

A summary of the Company’s trading policy can be found at www.eromangauranim.com/governance

The Board believes that given the current 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 doing so, however it is anticipated that an audit committee charter will be established in the coming year as the Company develops further.

Corporate governance statement continued

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 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, a summary describing how the Company will ensure its compliance with continuous disclosure requirements is posted on the Company’s web-site, www.eromangauranim.com/governance.

Principle 6 – Respect the rights of shareholders

Recommendation 6.1& 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 of meetings and explanatory material made available on the Company’s website; and

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 is required. However, a summary describing how the Company will communicate with its shareholders is posted on the Company’s website, www.eromangauranim. com/governance.

Principle 7 – Recognise and manage risk

Recommendation 7.1, 7.2 & 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. A summary 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.eromangauranim.com/governance.

Recommendation 7.3 - Recommendation followed

In accordance with ASX Recommendation 7.3 the Chief Executive Officer 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer provided said assurances at the time the s295A declarations were provided to the Board.

  • disclosure of the Company’s corporate governance practices and communications strategy on the entity’s website.

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 doing so.

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 & 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 non executive 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 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 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.

The Company’s corporate governance policies can be found at www.eromangauranium.com/governance

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.
