REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
The directors are pleased to present the remuneration report which sets out the remuneration information for Sentosa Mining Limited’s non-executive directors, executive directors and other key management personnel.
A. Directors and Key Management personnel remuneration policy
The remuneration policy of the Company has been designed to align Director and management objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component, and offering specific longterm incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Company’s financial results. The Board of the Company believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best management and Directors to run and manage the Company, as well as create goal congruence between Directors, executives and shareholders.
The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and senior executives of the Company is as follows:
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the Executive Directors and other senior executives, was developed by the Board. All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, options and performance incentives. The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Company’s performance, executive performance, and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.
Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONTINUED)
A. Directors and Key Management personnel remuneration policy (Continued)
The Non-Executive Directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is 9% for period ending 30 June 2013, and 9.25% starting 1 July 2013 and do not receive any other retirement benefits. All remuneration paid to Directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Options given to Directors and employees are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.
The Board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at commercial market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment, and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the Non-Executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually based on market practice, duties, and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. However, no such advice was sought during the year. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align Directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase the direct positive relationship between shareholders’ investment objectives and Directors’ and Executives’ performance. Options are issued to Directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes this policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth. For details of Directors’ and Executives’ interests in options at period end, refer to Note 7 of the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
NOTE 1: REPORTING ENTITY
The financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Sentosa Mining Limited (‘the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Consolidated Group” or ‘the Group”). Sentosa Mining Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office is Level 4, 66 Kings Park Road, West Perth, Western Australia 6005
NOTE 2: BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of compliance
This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (“AASBs”) (including Australian interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standard Board (“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001. Sentosa Mining Limited is a for-profit entity for the purposes of preparing the financial report. The consolidated financial report of the Group also complies with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 25 September 2013.
Basis of measurement
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.
Going concern
The consolidated entity has incurred a net loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2013 of $389,328 (2012: $1,146,859) and incurred net cash outflows from operations of $404,362 (2012: $1,235,353). As at 30 June 2013, the consolidated entity had cash and cash equivalents of $299,711 (30 June 2012: $1,304,906) and net assets of $1,781,104 (30 June 2012: $2,170,432).
In the forthcoming 12 months from the date of these financial statements, the Company and the consolidated entity will be required to meet various commitments, which require funds that are above and beyond the working capital of the consolidated entity at 30 June 2013. These commitments include evaluating a number of properties and continuing to conduct site visits to overseas projects.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company and consolidated entity will continue to meet their commitments and can therefore continue normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. In arriving at this position, the Directors are reviewing various funding alternatives to meet these commitments. These funding alternatives include future raising through various equity issues and scaling back of corporate costs.
The Directors have concluded that the combination of these circumstances represent a material uncertainty that casts doubt upon the Company’s and consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Nevertheless after making enquiries, and considering the uncertainties described above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and consolidated entity have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For these reasons, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the yearly report and accounts.
Should the Company and consolidated entity not achieve the matters set out above, there is significant uncertainty whether the Company and consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and therefore whether they will realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
The annual report does not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts nor the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company and consolidated entity not be able to continue as a going concern.
(b) Functional and presentation currency
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional currency.

SENTOSA MINING LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 48 142 901 353 FINANCIAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2013
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
NOTE 2: BASIS OF PREPARATION
(c) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Share-based payment transactions:
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a Black and Scholes model.
Impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure:
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.
Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.
To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.
NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in this financial report.
(a) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Sentosa Mining Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Sentosa Mining Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled.
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 22(b) to the financial statements.
Business combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses and results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities.
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The acquisition method requires that for each business combination one of the combining entities must be identified as the acquirer (ie parent entity). The business combination will be accounted for as at the acquisition date, which is the date that control over the acquiree is obtained by the parent entity. At this date, the parent shall recognise, in the consolidated accounts, and subject to certain limited exceptions, the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In addition, contingent liabilities of the acquiree will be recognised where a present obligation has been incurred and its fair value can be reliably measured.
26
SENTOSA MINING LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 48 142 901 353 FINANCIAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2013
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Principles of consolidation
Business combinations
The acquisition may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The method adopted for the measurement of goodwill will impact on the measurement of any non-controlling interest to be recognised in the acquiree where less than 100% ownership interest is held in the acquiree.
The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements. Consideration may comprise the sum of the assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer.
Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the other comprehensive Income. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.
Included in the measurement of consideration transferred is any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Any obligation incurred relating to contingent consideration is classified as either a financial liability or equity instrument, depending upon the nature of the arrangement. Rights to refunds of consideration previously paid are recognised as a receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value through the profit or loss unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.
All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the profit or loss.
(b) Income tax
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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(b) Income tax (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 realisation 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 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) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs, including costs of acquiring licenses, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs of acquiring licences which are pending the approval of the Department of Mines and Petroleum, as at the date of reporting are capitalised as exploration and evaluation cost if in the opinion of the Directors it is virtually certain the Company will be granted the licences.
Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of tenure to the area of interest are current and either:
-
i) The expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or
-
ii) Activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when:
-
i) Sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and
-
ii) Facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount (see impairment accounting policy in Note 3(e). For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from Intangible assets to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment.
(d) Financial instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.
The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.
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.
Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other loans and receivables are classified as non-current assets).

NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(d) Financial instruments
Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
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 significant and prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to cash flow 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 expired. 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.
(e) Impairment
Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit” or “CGU”).
Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment is tested reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The Company’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows. If there is an indication that a corporate asset may be impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the corporate asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(e) Impairment
Financial assets (including receivables)
A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets (including equity securities) are impaired can include default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is objective evidence of impairment.
The Company considers evidence of impairment for receivables at a specific asset level. All receivables are individually assessed for specific impairment.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised through the unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
(f) Employee benefits
Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to reporting 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 Group operates an Incentive Option Scheme share-based compensation plan. The bonus element over the exercise price of the employee services rendered in exchange for the grant of shares and options is recognised as an expense in the profit or loss. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares of the options granted.
(g) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will results and that outflow can be reliably measured.
(h) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes 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. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
(i) Revenue and other income
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
Rental income is recognised on an accrual basis.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(j) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Group during the reporting period which remains unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amount being normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(k) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
(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 Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of financing and investing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flow.
(m) Earnings per share
i. Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of service equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
ii. Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figure used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financial costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(n) Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company’s other components. All operating segments’ results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s Director to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
(o) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards
During the current year the Group adopted all of the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations applicable to its operations which became mandatory.
The adoption of these standards has impacted the recognition, measurement and disclosure of certain transactions. The following is an explanation of the impact the adoption of these standards and interpretations has had on the financial statements of Sentosa Mining Limited.
Adoption of AASBs and improvements to AASBs 2011-9
AASB 2011-9 requires entities to group items in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently, and changes the title of ‘statement of comprehensive income’ to ‘statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income’.
The adoption of the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations has had no significant impact on the Group’s accounting policies or the amounts reported during the year. The adoption of AASB 20119 has resulted in changes to the Group’s presentation of its financial statements.

| AASB 9 Financial Instruments (December 2010) |
AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (in part) |
AASB 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 139. The main changes are: (a) Financial assets that are debt instruments will be classified based on (1) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; and (2) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows. (b) Allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income (instead of in profit or loss). Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument. (c) Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases. (d) Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities the change in fair value is to be accounted for as follows: • The change attributable to changes in credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income (OCI); and • The remaining change is presented in profit or loss. If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in the profit or loss, the effect of the changes in credit risk are also presented in profit or loss. Otherwise, the following requirements have generally been carried forward unchanged from AASB 139 into AASB 9: |
1 January 2015 | Depending on assets held, there may be movement of assets between fair value and amortised cost categories. |

||||
| AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements |
AASB 127 AASB Int 112 |
AASB 10 establishes a revised control model that applies to all entities. It replaces the consolidation requirements in AASB 127_Consolidated and Separate Financial_ Statements_and AASB Interpretation 112_Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. The revised control model broadens the situations when an entity is considered to be controlled by another entity and includes additional guidance for applying the model to specific situations, including when acting as an agent may give control, the impact of potential voting rights and when holding less than a majority voting rights may give ‘de facto’ control. This is likely to lead to more entities being consolidated into the group. |
1 January 2013 | None – all controlled entities are wholly owned by Sentosa Mining Limited. |
| AASB 11 Joint Arrangements |
AASB 131 AASB Int 113 |
AASB 11 replaces AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures and AASB Interpretation 113 Jointly- controlled Entities – Non-monetary Contributions by Ventures. AASB 11 uses the principle of control in AASB 10 to define joint control, and therefore the determination of whether joint control exists may change. In addition, AASB 11 removes the option to account for jointly-controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, accounting for a joint arrangement is dependent on the nature of the rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Joint operations that give the venturers a right to the underlying assets and obligations themselves are accounted for by recognising the share of those assets and liabilities. Joint ventures that give the venturers a right to the net assets are accounted for using the equity method. This may result in a change in the accounting for the joint arrangements held by the group. |
1 January 2013 | None - there were no joint ventures previously accounted using proportionate consolidation. There were also no joint operations that have been previously accounted using equity accounting. |
| AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities |
AASB 127 AASB 128 AASB 131 |
AASB 12 includes all disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structures entities. New disclosures introduced by AASB 12 include disclosures about the judgements made by management to determine whether control exists, and to require summarised information about joint arrangements, associates and structured entities and subsidiaries with non- controllinginterests. |
1 January 2013 | There are some additional disclosures centred on significant judgements and assumptions made around determining control, joint control and significant influence. |

| AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement |
None | AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value when fair value is required or permitted by other Standards. Application of this definition may result in different fair values being determined for the relevant assets. AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes information about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined. |
1 January 2013 | For financial assets, AASB 13's guidance is broadly consistent with existing practice. It will however also apply to the measurement of fair value for non-financial assets and will make a significant change to existing guidance in the applicable standards. |
| AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures |
AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements AASB 128 Investments in Associates |
As a consequence of issuing AASB 10, AASB 11 and AASB 12, revised versions of AASB 127 and AASB 128 have also been issued. AASB 127 now only deals with separate financial statements. AASB 128 incorporates the requirements in Interpretation 113 Jointly Controlled Entities – Non- Monetary Contributions by Venturers, and guidance relating to the equity method for associates and joint ventures. |
1 January 2013 | When these revised standards are adopted for the first time for the financial year ending 30 June 2014, there will be no impact on the financial statements because they introduce no new requirements. |
| AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements |
None | The Standard amends AASB 124_Related Party Disclosures_to remove the individual key management personnel (KMP) disclosures required by Australian specific paragraphs. This amendment reflects the AASB’s view that these disclosures are more in the nature of governance disclosures that are better dealt within the legislation, rather than by the accounting standards. In March 2013, the Australian government released_Corporations Legislation_ _Amendment Regulation 2013_which proposed to insert these disclosures into _Corporations Regulations 2001_to ensure the disclosure requirements continue to be operative for financial years commencing on or after 1 July 2013. The closing date for submissions was 10 May 2013. |
1 July 2013 | When these amendments are first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2014, they are unlikely to have any significant impact on the entity. |

NOTE 4: DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.
Trade and other receivables
The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. This fair value is determined for disclosure purposes.
Share-based payment transactions
Share-based payment arrangements in which the Group receives goods or services as consideration for its own equity instruments are accounted for as equity-settled share-based payment transactions, regardless of how the equity instruments are obtained by the Group, based on the value of goods and services provided, unless the value of the goods and services cannot be determined an options price model is used to determine value.

Tax Consolidation
Sentosa Mining Ltd and its wholly owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the Tax Consolidation Regime. Each entity in the group recognises its own current and deferred tax liabilities, except for any deferred tax liabilities resulting from unused tax losses and tax credits, which are immediately assumed by the parent entity. The current tax liability of each group entity is then subsequently assumed by the parent entity. The Group nominated to become consolidated for taxation purposes on 28 October 2010.

NOTE 6: INCOME TAX
All unused tax losses were incurred in Australia.
Potential deferred tax assets net of deferred tax liabilities attributable to tax losses have not been brought to account because the Directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the future income tax benefits as probable as at the date of this report.
The benefits of these tax losses will only be obtained if:
-
(i) Future assessable income is derived of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised;
-
(ii) The conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation continue to be complied with; and
-
(iii) No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit.

The Directors’ assessment of the carrying amount for the Group’s exploration properties was after consideration of prevailing market conditions; previous expenditure for exploration work carried out on the tenements; and the potential for mineralisation based on the Group’s independent geological reports.
The ultimate value of these assets is dependent upon recoupment by commercial development or the sale of the whole or part of the Group’s interests in these exploration properties for an amount at least equal to the carrying value. There may exist on the Group’s exploration properties, areas subject to claim under Native Title or containing sacred sites or sites of significance to Aboriginal people.
As a result, the Group’s exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration and mining restrictions.

Capital risk management
The Directors’ objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group’s capital risk management is to maintain a sufficient current working capital position to meet the requirements of the Group’s exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Group’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.
The working capital position of the Group at 30 June 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

NOTE 21: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risk the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk consisting of interest rate, foreign currency risk and equity price risk.
a. Credit risk
Credit risk exposures
Credit exposure represents the extent of credit related losses that the Group may be subject to on amounts to be received from financial assets. Credit risk arises principally from trade and other receivables including related party loans. The objective of the Group is to minimise the risk of loss from credit risk. Although revenue from operations is minimal, the Group trades only with creditworthy third parties. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is insignificant. The Company’s maximum credit risk exposure is limited to the carrying value of its financial assets as indicated on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Trade and other receivables are expected to be settled within 30 days.
Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the Group in accordance with approved Board policy. Such policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with counterparties with a Standard and Poor’s rating of at least AA-. The following table provides information regarding the credit risk relating to cash and money market securities based on Standard and Poor’s counterparty credit ratings.
| 2012 | 2011 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Note | $ | $ | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | |||
| - AA Rated | 10 | 299,711 | 1,304,906 |
b. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities.
The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Group. Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. The Board of Directors constantly monitor the state of equity markets in conjunction with the Group’s current and future funding requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. Any surplus funds are invested with major financial institutions.
The financial liabilities of the Group are confined to trade and other payables as disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. All trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 12 months of the reporting date.
c. Market risk
The Board meets on a regular basis to analyse currency and interest rate exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts.
Interest rate risk
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. The Group is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
NOTE 21: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management
c. Market risk
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is managed by closely monitoring the interest rates at various financial institutions. The Company has no debt and as such the interest rate risk is limited to the Company’s investments in term deposits and other interest bearing investments.
Sensitivity Analysis
The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group’s exposures to changes in interest rates. The table indicates the impact on how profit and equity values reported at reporting date would have been affected by changes in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible. These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables.

Net Fair Values
Fair value estimation
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the following table and can be compared to their carrying values as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Fair values are those amounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.
Other assets and other liabilities approximate their carrying value.
Aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities at reporting date:

Segment Information
Identification of reportable segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The information presented in the financial report is the same information that is reviewed by the Directors.
The Group is currently operative in Australia (predominately Corporate and Exploration Related), during the year the Company began exploration in Mongolia.
Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments
Accounting policies adopted
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group .
Inter-segment transactions
Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to be received net of transaction costs. If inter-segment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates.
Segment assets
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to that segment that receives majority economic value from that asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001.

Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require us to comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Auditor’s opinion
In our opinion:
-
a the financial report of Sentosa Mining Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-
i giving a true and fair view of the Company’s and consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2013 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
ii complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and
-
b the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Emphasis of matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the consolidated statement of cash flows in the financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $389,328 during the year ended 30 June 2013 and operating cash outflows of $404,362. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2a, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
