Letter to Shareholders

Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors I present the 2011 annual report for Victory West Metals Limited. It has been a very active year in evaluation and project assessment amongst great turbulence in global financial markets

As it stands today the Company has repositioned itself to take part in:-

1). the rapidly growing Indonesian Coal Sector; continuing the focus on high valuable resource projects in the region. As announced, subject to due diligence this transaction will be put before shareholders at a forthcoming General Meeting for approval;

2). Advancing the highly prospective Malala Molybdenum project in Sulawesi, Indonesia with the China Guangshou Group.

In parallel, the Company evaluated and explored other complementary projects as announced to the market including, Nickel projects in South Sulawesi, copper / gold projects and other resources opportunities in accordance with the diversification and strategic decision to evaluate and acquire valuable resource projects.

The strategy of facilitating and funding world class resource projects and introducing major partners remains the focus of the Board.

We welcome the South East Asia Energy Resources (Singapore) Group (SEAE) led by Mr. Gary Williams. The SEAE team will combine with the VWM management and consultant team going forward to build significant JORC certifiable resources and production. It is proposed that at the completion of the transaction Mr. Gary Williams will become the Chief Executive Officer of VWM and we look forward to this positive appointment and his team‟s contribution to the growth of the assets owned by VWM.

I would like to thank the Board, staff and consultants both in Australia and overseas, in particular Indonesia and the Province of Toli Toli for their contribution during the year and for their ongoing commitment. Importantly we value our long term relationship with the Bupati of Toli Toli and the Governor of Sulawesi and we look forward to another productive year of working with them.

I draw your attention to the Operational Report included herewith which discusses our project in detail and I also encourage you to regularly visit our website at www.victorywest.com.au for all of our ASX announcements, project updates and information.

We look forward to meeting our shareholders at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

On behalf of the Board of Directors

Review of Operations

Malala Molybdenum Project, Sulawesi, Indonesia

The Malala Project is located in the Toli Toli Regency of Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, approximately 150km to the north of Palu (Figure 1). The project comprises five IUP concessions: PT Inti Cemerlang, PT Promistis, PT Era Moreco, PT Sembilan Sumber Mas & PT Indo Surya. The total area forming the Malala Project is in excess of 240km2 (Figure 2) spread across the five concessions all of which are located within 15km of the coast.

Since acquisition, VWM has worked diligently at compiling and reviewing the historical data and re-initiating the exploration process. The majority of work has targeted Anomaly B, the key area of Rio Tinto/Santos exploration efforts in the 1970‟s and 1980‟s. Rio Tinto had defined a non-JORC compliant resource at Anomaly B which is the basis of VWM‟s exploration target of 105-115Mt @ 660-900ppm Mo[1] . In FY2009, VWM began the task of proving up this initial resource target, with this work continuing throughout FY2011. The Company has significantly advanced its understanding of the Anomaly B prospect area, with detailed trenching and geophysical surveying making large contributions to this improved understanding during the financial year.

The current interpretation remains preliminary and is based on exploration, evaluation and resource definition work performed by Rio Tinto, Santos and VWM.

Review of Operations

During the year, the Company continued to undertake a number of exploration programs to evaluate the size and grade of the main target area identified as Anomaly B within the PT Inti Cemerlang concession. In addition to this, a regional exploration programs were undertaken at PT Promistis and the other concessions, which has seen several anomalous geochemical anomalies, which has shown some early promise and requires further investigation.

China Guangshou Group Corp

On 3 September 2010 the Company announced that it had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with China Guangshou Group Corp (“CGGC”) that, subject to due diligence, CGGC is to acquire a 65% interest in the Malala Molybdenum Project in consideration for committing to sole fund 100% of all funding required to take the Malala Molybdenum Project into large scale commercial production by 2016.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company and the Company‟s local BUMD (Regency owned enterprise) partner are to be free carried to large scale production (as defined below). As a result, the Company (through its group structure) and BUMD will hold a direct or indirect interest of 27.5% and 5% respectively. A further 2.5% interest will be acquired by local Indonesian Chinese interests.

In late October 2010, the Company executed a more formal MOA in Xiamen, China followed by a signing ceremony in Perth, whereby CGGC is to acquire a 65% interest in the Malala Molybdenum Project.

During the sole funding period, GGGC have undertaken to meet certain milestones, including but not limited to the following;

On 23 February 2011, the Company received the first $500,000 tranche Commitment Fee from CGGC for the Malala Molybdenum Project.

The Company completed a variation and extension agreement with CGGC as announced to the market.

The Company continues to work with CGGC and key Indonesian Government groups to secure the required administration letters that are required to move the joint venture to the next stage.

Granting of Production & Operational Licenses & Extension of Exploration Licenses

On 20 September 2010, the Company announced the successful grant of Production and Operational (Exploitation) IUP licenses for Inti Cemerlang and Promistis the two most strategic concessions that form the core of the Malala Molybdenum Project. The Production and Operation IUP allows for the commercial extraction of Molybdenum from the concession areas for a period of 20 years (renewable for a further 10 – 20 years).

In addition, 3 year exploration IUP license extensions were granted for PT Era Moreco, PT Indo Surya Moreco and PT Sembilan Sumber Mas concessions.

The conversion of PT Inti Cemerlang, PT Promistis, PT Era Moreco, PT Semilan Sumber Mas and Pt Indo Surya into Indonesia foreign investment companies (“PMA Companies”) is now underway. It is expected that PT Inti Cemerlang will be the first company converted to a PMA company.

Acquisition of the remaining 25% Interest in Victory West Pty Ltd

In December 2010, the Company finalised the acquisition of the remaining 25% interest in Victory West Pty Ltd (“VW P/L”) taking the Company‟s interest in the Malala Molybdenum project from 71.25% to 95% (prior to the proposed CGGC transaction).

Review of Operations

Noviendiono Copper/Gold Project

On 27 January 2011 the Company announced that it had, subject to due diligence secured the rights to acquire via way of equity earn-in a 75% equity interest in a highly prospective copper/gold project located in Toraja province, South Sulawesi.

The Project is located in a known porphyry province and the geological setting is favorable for the exploration of both porphyry Copper-Gold style mineralization and more discrete zones of higher grade gold mineralization.

Previous exploration at the project area include numerous Dutch exploration Adits, which were excavated early in the 1900‟s exploiting copper, gold and lead from high grade quartz veins.

The project has three key areas considered to be highly prospective;

  • Gold mineralisation (from Dutch exploration adits)

  • Porphyry/ Diatreme Breccia (prospective for copper/gold)

  • Numerous additional previously unexplored targets

Significant previous exploration results including:

  • 34.20m (141.80-176.00 m) @ 3.05 g/t Au, including: 4.00 m (143.80-147-80 metres) @ 14.70 g/t Au, and 4.00 metres (164.00-168.00) @ 9.14 g/t Au.

  • Copper intersections of 4.00m @ 0.48% Cu and 22.00m @ 0.18% commencing at 120.00m depth.

  • Dutch workings in the area indicate high gold or copper grades in hydrothermal veins

During the fourth quarter of FY 2011, the Company undertook an intensive 40 day field work program under the supervision of the Company‟s consulting geologist Mr Brett Gunter B.app.Sc (Geol) MAusIMM (GMT Indonesia). In addition 6 senior geologists from the Malala project were also mobilised for the work program.

The team surveyed approximately 5,000 hectares of the Concession and collated data on in-situ rock outcrop formations, previous historical drilling and 12 Dutch Adits. Additionally, a number of samples were collected from prospective zones encountered during mapping that will allow for assessment of the potential and distribution of mineralisation within the mapped concession areas

The Company continues to work with the vendors to advance the project forward if legal and technical due diligence requirements are satisfied.

USSU Nickel Project

On the 27 August 2010, the Company announced that it had entered into agreements to acquire a 70% equity interest in PT. Primara Utama that owns a highly prospective direct shipping ore (DSO) nickel project in South Sulawesi, Indonesia known as the USSU Nickel Project.

The Company undertook significant due diligence and exploration work on the USSU Nickel Project. During the March 2011 quarter, the Company announced a reassessment of the project based on the technical review demonstrating a need to further expand on exploration activities to build a certified resource, which would be required prior to raising a significant level of equity funding.

To that end the Company adopted a prudent course of action in the best interests of all parties to renegotiate the terms of the agreement. Subsequently on 10 June 2011, Victory West announced that a settlement had been reached with the Indonesian Vendors of the USSU Nickel Project and all loans advanced to the vendors in relation to the project were repaid.

Review of Operations

Subsequent Events

On the 9th September 2011 the Company announced that it had signed a Heads of Agreement to acquire 100% of South East Asia Energy Resources Pte Ltd (SEAE), a special purpose company registered in Singapore that has the rights to an 85% interest in the BEK coal project in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. In addition the SEAE group brings a pipeline of 9 coking and thermal Coal concessions in East Kalimantan and initial off take agreements for 200,000 tonnes per month with major global parties.

Importantly, subject to due diligence and if approved by shareholders and regulatory authorities, the SEAE team will combine with the VWM management and consulting team to create an experienced and extensive team in Indonesia mining operations and engineering that will target significant JORC certifiable resources and production.

On 21 September 2011, Dempsey Resource Pty Ltd and the Company agreed to extend the Convertible Note until 15 November 2011.

Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the company has repaid $25,000 of convertible loans.

On 29 September 2011, the company received a letter alleging an amount due of US$250,000 in relation to Oceantide Investments Pty Ltd transaction. The Company is currently reviewing this claim and as at the date of this report is unable to ascertain the likely financial impact this claim may have on the Company.

JORC Exploration Targets

It is common practice for a company to comment on and discuss its exploration in terms of target size and type. The information in this presentation relating to exploration targets should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves. Hence the terms Resource(s) or Reserves(s) have not been used in this context. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, since there has been insufficient work completed to define them beyond exploration targets and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. In accordance with Clause 18 of the JORC Code, it is important to note that no JORC Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves have been established on these tenements and any current assessment remains subject to ongoing exploration work and drilling. The current interpretation remains preliminary and is based on exploration, evaluation and resource definition work performed by previous owners Rio Tinto and Santos. Victory West Metals have undertaken exploration work including surface mapping, trenching and geochemical surveying (soil, rock and stream sediment geochemistry), geological logging and assaying of diamond drilling and geological modeling within the areas previously defined by Rio Tinto and Santos which is demonstrating results consistent with previous outcomes presented by Rio Tinto and Santos.

Competent Persons Statement

The data in this report that relates to Exploration Results, Resources and Reserves is based on information reviewed and evaluated by Mr Brett Gunter who is a member of The Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (MAusIMM) and who has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the “JORC Code”). Mr Gunter is a fulltime employee of GMT Indonesia and he consents to the inclusion in the report of the Exploration Results and/or Mineral Resource and/or Reserve in the form and context in which they appear.

Corporate Governance Statement

PRINCIPLE 1: LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT

Recommendation 1.1: Companies should establish the functions reserved to the board and those delegated to senior executives and disclose those functions.

This recommendation is satisfied.

The Company's Board Charter together with updated financial statements will be given to any new Director, all of which will set out details in respect of:

  • The Company's financial, strategic and operational position;

  • Each Director's rights, duties and responsibilities;

  • The role of the Board and Management.

Recommendation 1.2: Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of senior executives.

This recommendation is satisfied.

Given the size of the Company, there are relatively few executives employed by the Company, however each will be subject to an annual performance evaluation. The performance target for each executive is currently aligned to the business targets of the Company in accordance with the position of the relevant executive.

The Board seeks to identify the expectations of the shareholders, as well as other regulatory and ethical expectations and obligations. In addition, the Board is responsible for identifying areas of significant business risk and ensuring arrangements are in place to adequately manage those risks.

To ensure that the Board is well equipped to discharge its responsibilities it has established guidelines for the nomination and selection of directors and for the operation of the Board. The responsibility for the operation and administration of the Company is delegated, by the Board, to the executive management team. The Board ensures that this team is appropriately qualified and experienced to discharge their responsibilities and has in place procedures to assess the performance of the executive management team.

PRINCIPLE 2: STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE

Recommendation 2.1: A majority of the board should be independent directors.

This recommendation is satisfied.

Recommendation 2.2: The chair should be an independent director.

This recommendation is satisfied.

Recommendation 2.3: The roles of chair and chief executive officer (CEO) should not be exercised by the same individual.

This recommendation is satisfied.

Recommendation 2.4: The board should establish a nomination committee.

This recommendation is not satisfied.

Given the size of the Company and its Board, the Directors consider that any efficiency achieved by the establishment of a nomination committee would be minimal, thereby not making establishment cost effective. For this reason the Board performs the role of the nomination committee.

Victory West Metals Limited – Annual Report 2011

12

Corporate Governance Statement

Recommendation 2.5: Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors.

This recommendation is not satisfied.

The Directors of the Company otherwise consider that due to the size of the Company and its Board a formal review procedure is not appropriate at this point in time and has instead adopted a self-evaluation process to measure its own performance. A system to fairly review and actively encourage enhanced Board and management effectiveness is being considered.

The need for access to supporting equity and skills as required, and a flexible cost structure are greater imperatives for the Company as an exploration company, than the largely mutually exclusive concept of independence, which is much more relevant to larger corporations with substantial workforces.

However, as the Company moves to become a minerals producer the concept of independence will become more relevant. Whilst the Company will progressively increase the independence of its Directors over time, compliance with the best practice in this area is not considered a current imperative, due to the additional direct cost of employing such Directors, the view that there would not be an increase in Board skills (only independence), and the risk that inefficiency will occur in the Board decision making process whilst the independent Directors become familiar with the Company‟s business.

All assessments as to whether a Director is independent are to be made by the Board in such manner as it determines from time to time. The Company has adapted the definition of independence developed by Investment and Financial Services Association Limited (“IFSA”) in its Corporate Governance, A Guide for Fund Managers and Corporations – Blue Book.

The Chairman of the Board is responsible for the leadership of the Board, ensuring that Board activities are organised and efficiently conducted and for setting the agenda for Board meetings. Under the Company‟s constitution, the maximum term for a director before they must be re-elected by the members is three years.

The Board has not established separate committees for Audit and Risk Management, Remuneration and Nomination. The Company is not of a sufficient size is not of a size, nor is the affairs of a complexity sufficient to warrant the existence of separate committees. All matters which could be delegated to such committees are dealt with by the full Board.

PRINCIPLE 3: PROMOTE ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE DECISION-MAKING

Recommendation 3.1: Companies should establish a code of conduct and disclose the code or a summary of the code as to:

  • the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the company‟s integrity

  • the practices necessary to take into account their legal obligations and the reasonable expectations of their stakeholders

  • the responsibility and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices.

This recommendation is satisfied.

Recommendation 3.2: Companies should establish a policy concerning diversity and disclose the policy or a summary of that policy. The policy should include requirements for the board to establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity for the board to assess annually both the objectives and progress in achieving them.

This recommendation is not satisfied .

Victory West Metals Limited – Annual Report 2011

13

Corporate Governance Statement

Diversity includes, but is not limited to gender, age, ethnicity and cultural background. The Company is committed to diversity and recognises the benefits arising from employee and board diversity and the importance of benefiting from all available talent.

However, given the size of the Company and its Board, the Company‟s Corporate Governance Plan at 30 June 2011 does not include a policy specifically addressing diversity. The Board does not consider it necessary to have a diversity policy but will consider implementing one in the future.

Recommendation 3.3: Companies should disclose in each annual report the measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity set by the board in accordance with the diversity policy and progress towards achieving them.

This recommendation is not satisfied.

Refer to recommendation 3.2.

Recommendation 3.4: Companies should disclose in each annual report the proportion of women employees in the whole organization, women in senior executive positions and women on the board.

This recommendation is not satisfied.

Refer to recommendation 3.2.

PRINCIPLE 4 – SAFEGUARD INTEGRITY IN FINANCIAL REPORTING

Recommendation 4.1: The board should establish an audit committee.

This recommendation is not satisfied.

Given the size of the Company and its Board, it is not of a size to require an audit committee and the duties normally performed by an audit committee are undertaken by the Board as whole. The Company‟s Auditors attend the Annual general Meeting, at which time they are available to answer shareholder questions in relation to their audit.

Recommendation 4.2: The audit committee should be structured so that it:

  • consists only of non-executive directors

  • consists of a majority of independent directors

  • is chaired by an independent chair, who is not chair of the board

  • has at least three members.

This recommendation is not satisfied.

Refer to recommendation 4.1.

Recommendation 4.3: The audit committee should have a formal charter.

This recommendation is not satisfied.

Refer to recommendation 4.1.

The integrity of the Company‟s financial reporting is a critical aspect of Victory West Metal‟s corporate governance and structures have been implemented during the reporting period to verify and safeguard the integrity of the Company‟s financial reporting.

It is the policy of the Board that the Company‟s financial statements be reviewed or Audited, at a minimum, each half year. The Company does not have a formalised audit committee; instead all Directors are responsible for the financial statements.

14

Victory West Metals Limited – Annual Report 2011

Corporate Governance Statement

PRINCIPLE 5 – MAKE TIMELY AND BALANCED DISCLOSURE

Recommendation 5.1: Companies should establish written policies designed to ensure compliance with ASX Listing Rule disclosure requirements and to ensure accountability at a senior executive level for that compliance and disclose those policies or a summary of those policies.

This recommendation is satisfied.

The Company has a comprehensive disclosure policy to comply with the ASX Listing Rules regarding the public disclosure of material information. The aim of this policy is to ensure that the Company release pricesensitive information in a timely manner.

The Company will immediately notify the market by announcement to the ASX of any information concerning the business of the Company that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company‟s securities.

Information about the Company is regarded as material if it would, or would be likely to, influence persons who commonly invest in securities in deciding whether or not to buy or sell the Company‟s securities.

Officers and employees are encouraged not to rely on their judgement and to consult the Company Secretary on whether particular information is considered to be material.

PRINCIPLE 6 – RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS

Recommendation 6.1: Companies should design a communications policy for promoting effective communication with shareholders and encouraging their participation at general meetings and disclose their policy or a summary of that policy.

This recommendation is satisfied.

The Board respects the rights of all shareholders and, to facilitate the effective exercise of those rights, the Company is committed to effective communication with shareholders. This occurs by electronic ASX releases to the market and via a subscription facility on the Company‟s website.

PRINCIPLE 7 – RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK

Recommendation 7.1: Companies should establish policies for the oversight and management of material business risks and disclose a summary of those policies.

This recommendation is satisfied.

Recommendation 7.2: The board should require management to design and implement the risk management and internal control system to manage the company‟s material business risks and report to it on whether those risks are being managed effectively. The board should disclose that management has reported to it as to the effectiveness of the company‟s management of its material business risks.

This recommendation is satisfied.

Recommendation 7.3: The board should disclose whether it has received assurance from the chief executive officer (or equivalent) and the chief financial officer (or equivalent) that the declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is 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.

This recommendation is satisfied.

In all its activities the Company will adopt a structured and consistent approach to risk management.

Victory West Metals Limited – Annual Report 2011

15

Corporate Governance Statement

Risks will be assessed and managed through an overriding policy of identification, assessment, mitigation, monitoring and communication of risks associated with its activities. The overriding policy will be based on the Australian Standard for risk management (AS4360) and will be reviewed regularly against best practice standards and the changing activities of the Company.

The level of risk management will be consistent with the Company‟s overall business objectives and risk appetite and tolerance.

Risk management and control will be incorporated into property protection, health, safety and environmental audits using either self assessment or outside auditors as the Company deems appropriate.

The Chairman of the Board and the CEO are responsible for the identification and management of business risks. The Board has obtained a written confirmation from the Chairman of the Board and the CEO that the statement in relation to principle 4 above is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control.

The Board has obtained a statement confirming that the systems are operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects.

PRINCIPLE 8 – REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY

Recommendation 8.1: The board should establish a remuneration committee.

This recommendation is not satisfied.

Given its size and stage in development, the Board has decided not to establish or to delegate specific authority to a remuneration committee. Responsibilities which would normally be delegated to such committees are performed by the Board as a whole. The remuneration report of the Victory West Metals which includes all directors is included within the Directors‟ Report. All Directors are remunerated by way of fees and the granting of options. However they do not receive bonus payments or retirement benefits. Upon retirement, there is no contractual right to further benefits other than statutory superannuation.

The Board fulfils its responsibilities to shareholders which include:

  • Ensuring that remuneration policies are appropriate;

  • Determining the basis for any incentive schemes for the Company;

  • Reviewing as required, the compensation arrangements for directors.

Recommendation 8.2: The remuneration committee should be structured so that it:

  • consists of a majority of independent directors

  • is chaired by an independent chair

  • has at least three members

Corporate Governance Statement

The remuneration levels of Executive Director‟s are determined by the Chairman after taking into consideration those that apply to similar positions in comparable companies in Australia and Directors‟ possible participation in any equity based remuneration scheme. The Chairman uses industry-wide data gathered by independent remuneration experts annually as his point of reference.

Options or shares issued to Directors pursuant to any equity-based remuneration scheme require approval by shareholders prior to their issue.

The remuneration levels of senior executives and other employees are determined by the Board of Directors after taking into consideration those levels that apply to similar positions in comparable companies in Australia and employees‟ possible participation in any equity based remuneration scheme. The Directors will consult recruitment and remuneration experts and will, where such expenditure is not already in an approved Budget seek Board approval prior to finalising the appointment.

Options or shares issued to senior executives and other employees who are not Directors would be proposed by the Chairman and issued only after approval by the Board.

The policy will be implemented by reviewing, not less than annually, all aspects of the remuneration paid to all employees and executives to ensure that it motivates the pursuit of long-term success, a safe working environment and a culture consistent with the Company‟s Corporate Governance Policy and is clearly linked to individual and group performance.

Relationship between the remuneration policy and company performance

The performance of the Company largely depends upon the quality of its directors and executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled directors (both executive and nonexecutive) and executives. The Board of the Company believes that in order to retain quality directors and executives, some incentive to maintain their future services, involvement, commitment and loyalty to the Company, is required on certain occasions over and above nominal Directors‟ and executive fees and salaries.

The Company did not pay any cash incentives or bonuses to its directors or senior management during the financial year ended 30 June 2011.

In the financial year ended 30 June 2011, the Company received shareholder approval to issue directors and key management personnel with performance options. The exercisability of these options is dependent on the Company‟s performance and the individuals continued employment, which are linked to the company‟s overall performance.

Each of these milestone steps is of importance in its own right as well as being on the critical path to full commercial production of its projects. Accordingly each milestone has been set as a hurdle as the Company builds momentum to achieve production of its projects and in parallel an anticipated increasing share price and shareholder value.

As approved by shareholders at the Company‟s General Meeting held on 13 August 2010, during the financial year ending 30 June 2011, the Company issued a total of 9.4 million options to directors and key management personnel, of which 6 million options are subject to performance milestone conditions. No amounts were paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. During the year 4 million of these performance options lapsed as a results of the employees resignation. No value has been ascribed to these options as they are not capable of being exercised.

The table below sets out the number of options issued to directors and key management personnel during the year with respect to services:

  2. The Performance Options are unlisted and have an exercise price of $0.25 and expire on 31 August 2014.

The Performance Options will lapse if for any reason the Optionholder ends its employment, relationship or engagement with the Company. Also, the conversion of each Performance Option is subject to the completion of the following milestones:

  • (i) the Company announcing to the ASX (or other recognised stock exchange) a JORC compliant resource of at least 120,000 tonnes (265 million pounds) of contained Molybdenum at a minimum grade of at least 600ppm either within one of the permits or total across all of the permits held at that time by the Company ( “Milestone A” ).

This target is effectively twice the current target resource.

  • (ii) The company having a market capitalisation of $80,000,000 Australian Dollars for 5 consecutive trading days (“Milestone B”).

At the time of seeking shareholder approval, this target was approximately 9 times the company‟s market cap at this time of ~A$9m (as at 6 July 2010).

  1. Mr Robert Hyndes resigned as CEO in June 2011. Accordingly, these options have lapsed pursuant to the terms mentioned above and are not capable of being exercised.

In order for all Performance Options to be converted both Milestone A and Milestone B must be met by the Company. If only one Milestone is met prior to the expiry date then only those performance options subject to the milestone which is being met are able to be converted.

During the year, no options were exercised by the directors or key management personnel that were granted to them as part of their compensation.

Independent Auditor’s Report To the Members of Victory West Metals Limited

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Victory West Metals Limited (the “Company”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes such internal controls as the Directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report to be free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Directors also state, in the notes to the financial report, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that compliance with the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards which 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.

Grant Thornton Australia Limited is a member firm within Grant Thornton International Ltd. Grant Thornton International Ltd and the member firms are not a worldwide partnership. Grant Thornton Australia Limited, together with its subsidiaries and related entities, delivers its services independently in Australia.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation

26

==> picture [139 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error.

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 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 Victory West Metals Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • i giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2011 and of its 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.

Material uncertainty regarding continuation as a going concern

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1(r) in the financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $3,693,641 and net operating cash outflows of $1,425,324 during the year ended 30 June 2011 and, as of that date, the consolidated entity’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,510,773. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(r), 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.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2011

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial report covers the consolidated entity of Victory West Metals Limited and controlled entities (the “Group”). Victory West Metals Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The financial report was authorised for issue by a resolution of the Board of Directors on 30 September 2011.

Basis of Preparation

This financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

Reporting Basis and Conventions

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.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations

The following Australian Accounting Standards have been issued or amended and are applicable to the group but are not yet effective. They have not been adopted in the preparation of the financial statements at reporting date.

AASB 2009-11
Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards
arising from AASB 9
AASB 139 Financial
Instruments:
Recognition and
Measurement (part)
AASB 9 introduces new requirements for the
classification and measurement of financial assets
and liabilities. AASB 9 uses a single approach to
determine whether a financial asset is measured at
amortised cost or fair value, replacing the many
different rules in AASB 139 and removes the
impairment requirement for financial assets held at
fair value.
In addition, the majority of requirements from AASB
139 for the classification and measurement of
financial liabilities has been carried forward
unchanged, except in relation to own credit risk
where an entity takes the option to measure
financial liabilities at fair value. AASB 9 requires
the amount of the change in fair value due to
changes in the entity‟s own credit risk to be
presented in other comprehensive income (OCI),
unless there is an accounting mismatch in the
profit or loss, in which case all gains or losses are
to be presented in the profit or loss.
The requirements from AASB 139 related to the
derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
have been incorporated unchanged into AASB 9.
31 December 2013 AASB 9 amends the
classification and
measurement of financial
assets; the effect on the
entity will be that more
assets are held at fair value
and the need for impairment
testing has been limited to
assets held at amortised cost
only.
Minimal changes have been
made in relation to the
classification and
measurement of financial
liabilities, except „own credit
risk‟ instruments. The effect
on the entity will be that the
volatility in the profit or loss
will be moved to the OCI,
unless there is an accounting
mismatch.
AASB 2009-11
AASB 2010-7
Depending on assets
held, there may be
significant movement
of assets between fair
value and cost
categories and ceasing
of impairment testing
on available for sale
assets.
If the entity holds any
„own credit risk‟
financial liabilities, the
fair value gain or loss
will be incorporated in
the OCI, rather than
profit or loss, unless
accounting mismatch.

AASB 1053 Application of
Tiers of Australian
Accounting Standards
None This Standard establishes a differential financial
reporting framework consisting of two Tiers of
reporting requirements for preparing general
purpose financial statements:
1.
Tier 1: Australian Accounting Standards; and
2.
Tier 2: Australian Accounting Standards -
Reduced Disclosure Requirements.
Tier 2 comprises the recognition, measurement
and presentation requirements of Tier 1 and
substantially reduced disclosures corresponding to
those requirements.
1
The
following
entities
apply
Tier
1
requirements in preparing general purpose
financial statements:
a)
for-profit entities in the private sector that
have public accountability (as defined in this
Standard); and
b)
the Australian Government and State,
Territory and Local Governments
The following entities apply either Tier 2 or Tier 1
requirements in preparing general purpose
financial statements:
a)
for-profit private sector entities that do not
have public accountability;
b)
all not-for-profit private sector entities; and
c)
public sector entities other than the
Australian Government and State, Territory &
Local Governments
30 June 2014 This depends on the
classification of the entity as
a Tier 1 or 2.
For Tier 1 entities or Tier 2
that prepare special purpose
financial reports, there will be
no impact on the financial
statements as the reduced
disclosure will not be
available to apply.
Tier 2 entities that prepare
general purpose financial
reports will be able to apply
the reduced disclosures
within the financial
instruments, related parties,
accounting policies,
borrowing costs, and financial
statement disclosures
AASB 1053 Reduced disclosures.

exposures relating to more complex transfers of
financial assets (e.g. securitisations) and the effect
of those risks on an entity‟s financial position.
30 June 2012 The Amendments will

136, 137, 139, 1023, &
1038 and interpretations
2, 5, 10, 12, 19 & 127]
None The requirements for classifying and measuring
financial liabilities were added to AASB 9. The
existing requirements for the classification of
financial liabilities and the ability to use the fair
value option have been retained. However, where
the fair value option is used for financial liabilities
the change in fair value is accounted for as follows:
a)
The change attributable to changes in credit
risk are presented in other comprehensive
income (OCI)
b)
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.
31 December 2013 This Standard makes
amendments to a range of
Australian Accounting
Standards and
Interpretations as a
consequence of the issuance
of AASB 9: Financial
Instruments in December
2010. Accordingly, these
amendments will only apply
when the entity adopts AASB
9.

Depreciable Assets into AASB 112.
31 December 2012 The amendments brought in
by this Standard introduce a
more practical approach for
measuring deferred tax
liabilities and deferred tax
assets when investment
property is measured using
the fair value model under
AASB 140: Investment
Property.
Under the current AASB 112,
the measurement of deferred
tax liabilities and deferred tax
assets depends on whether
an entity expects to recover
an asset by using it or by
selling it. The amendments
introduce a presumption that
an investment property is
recovered entirely through
sale. This presumption is
rebutted if the investment
property is held within a
business model whose
objective is to consume
substantially all of the
economic benefits embodied
in the investment property
over time, rather than
through sale.

Consolidated Financial
Statements
IAS 27 IFRS 10 establishes a new control model that
applies to all entities. It replaces parts of IAS 27
Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
dealing with the accounting for consolidated
financial statements and SIC-12 Consolidation -
Special Purpose Entities.
The new control model broadens the situations
when an entity is considered to be controlled by
another entity and includes new guidance for
applying the model to specific situations, including
when acting as a manager may give control, the
impact of potential voting rights and when holding
less than a majority voting rights may give control.
This is likely to lead to more entities being
consolidated into the group.
31 December 2013 It introduces a new, principle-
based definition of control
which will apply to all
investees to determine the
scope of consolidation.
Traditional control
assessments based on
majority ownership of voting
rights will very rarely be
affected. However,
'borderline' consolidation
decisions will need to be
reviewed and some will need
to be changed taking into
consideration potential voting
rights and substantive rights.

Joint Arrangements1 IAS 31
SIC 13
IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures
and SIC-13 Jointly- controlled Entities - Non-
monetary Contributions by
Ventures. IFRS 11 uses the principle of control in
IFRS 10 to define joint control, and therefore the
determination of whether joint control exists may
change. In addition IFRS 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 is accounted for by
recognising the share of those assets and
obligations. Joint ventures that give the venturers a
right to the net assets is accounted for using the
equity method. This may result in a change in the
accounting for the joint arrangements held by the
group.
31 December 2013 Entities with existing joint
arrangements or that plan to
enter into new joint
arrangements will be affected
by the new standard. These
entities will need to assess
their arrangements to
determine whether they have
invested in a joint operation
or a joint venture upon
adoption of the new standard
or upon entering into the
arrangement.
Entities that have been
accounting for their interest
in a joint venture using
proportionate consolidation
will no longer be allowed to
use this method; instead they
will account for the joint
venture using the equity
method. In addition, there
may be some entities that
previously equity-accounted
for investments that may
need to account for their
share of assets and liabilities
now that there is less focus
on the structure of the
arrangement.

Fair Value Measurement2 None IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance
under IFRS for determining the fair value of assets
and liabilities. IFRS 13 does not change when an
entity is required to use fair value, but rather,
provides guidance on how to determine fair value
under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted
by IFRS. Application of this definition may result in
different fair values being determined for the
relevant assets.
IFRS 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.
31 December 2013 IFRS 13 has been created to:
-
establish a single source
of guidance for all fair
value measurements;
-
clarify the definition of
fair value and related
guidance; and
-
enhance disclosures
about fair value
measurements (new

used to measure fair
value)

Carbon Tax Scheme
On 10 July 2011, the Commonwealth Government announced the “Securing a Clean Energy Future – the Australian Government‟s Climate Change Plan”. Whilst the announcement provides further details of the
framework for a carbon pricing mechanism, uncertainties continue to exist on the impact of any carbon pricing mechanism on the Group as legislation must be voted on and passed by both houses of parliament. In
addition, as the Group will not fall within the “Top 500 Australian Polluters”, the impact of the Carbon Scheme will be through indirect effects of increased prices on many production inputs and general business
expenses as suppliers subject to the carbon pricing mechanism are likely to pass on their carbon price burden to their customers in the form of increased prices. The board expects that this will not have a significant
impact upon the operational costs within the business,and therefore will not have an impact upon the valuation of assets and/orgoingconcern of the business.

Victory West Metals Limited – Annual Report 2011

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2011

a. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities of Victory West Metals Limited (“company” or “parent entity”) as at 30 June 2011 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then ended. Victory West Metals Limited and its controlled entities together are referred to in this financial report as the “consolidated entity” or “group”.

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

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of the Company.

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

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

Minority equity interests in the equity and results of the entities that are controlled are shown as a separate item in the consolidated financial report.

b. 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 (i.e. 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.

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

49

Victory West Metals Limited – Annual Report 2011

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2011

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 statement of 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 statement of comprehensive income 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 statement of comprehensive income.

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 the end of the reporting period. 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 the end of the reporting period. 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

Victory West Metals Limited – Annual Report 2011

50

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2011

temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of 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.

d. Property, Plant & Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Plant & Equipment

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated entity includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset‟s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future consolidated benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

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

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate
Office Furniture 6% - 40%
Office Equipment 12.5% - 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 by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

Victory West Metals Limited – Annual Report 2011

51

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2011

e. Leases

A distinction is made between finance leases which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased non-current assets, and operating leases under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits.

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.

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 financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.

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

Derecognition

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

i. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit and loss when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

Victory West Metals Limited – Annual Report 2011

52

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2011

ii. 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.

iii. Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the group‟s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

iv. Available-for-sale financial assets

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

v. 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 statement of comprehensive income.

vi. Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

g. Impairment of Non-Financial 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 statement of comprehensive income.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

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

Victory West Metals Limited – Annual Report 2011

53

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2011

h. Intangibles

Goodwill

Goodwill and goodwill on consolidation are initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business or for an ownership interest in a controlled entity exceeds the fair value attributed to its net assets at date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Exploration and evaluation

Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied:

  • i. the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and

  • ii. at least one of the following conditions is also met:

  • a. the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or

  • b. exploration and evaluation 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 initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortised of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.

During the year there was no impairment of Exploration and Evaluation.

Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2011

i. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the group‟s entities is measured using the currency of the primary consolidated environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity‟s functional and presentation currency.

Transaction and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the group‟s presentation currency are translated as follows:

Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;

Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period;

Retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the group‟s foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed.

j. Employee Entitlements

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

k. Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of one month or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

Victory West Metals Limited – Annual Report 2011

55

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2011

l. Revenue

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers.

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

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

m. 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 expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

n. Trade and Other Creditors

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

o. Contributed Equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

p. Earnings Per Share

  • Basic earnings per share: Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the net loss attributable to equity holders of the Company, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

  • Diluted earnings per share: Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing 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.

q. 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 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.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2011

r. Going Concern

The financial statements for the year have been prepared on the basis of going concern, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Whilst acknowledging the inherent uncertainties of progressing to productive mining operations, the Directors consider this to be appropriate.

During the year the consolidated entity incurred a loss after tax of $3,693,641, net cash outflows from operating activities were $1,425,324, net cash inflows during the period were $1,675,378 and at 30 June 2011 had a net current asset deficiency of $1,510,773. Included in this net current asset deficiency are the convertible loans and notes of $2.58 million. Subsequent to balance date, the parties have agreed to extend the convertible note to 15 November 2011 (refer note 28). The Company is in negotiations with the note holders and is confident that the amounts will be repaid subject to successful capital management initiatives or via the conversion to equity.

The company has engaged consultants to assist it with these capital raising initiatives and is in discussions with potential financiers. The capital raising initiatives may include offtake financing, additional capital raisings in future periods or debt funding.

The Directors are developing a capital management program that will provide funding to maximize the potential of its current asset portfolio and the newly announced coal portfolio (subject to due diligence) and provide a strong base for increasing shareholder value. Whilst continued growth is dependent on the Company successfully obtaining new funding and refinancing of existing facilities in what are challenging capital markets the Directors are confident that the consolidated entity will be able to continue its operations into the foreseeable future.

Based on the forecasts and achieving the future financing, the directors consider the basis of going concern to be appropriate. In particular, given the Company‟s history of successful raising of capital to date, the Directors are confident of the Company‟s ability to raise additional funds as and when they are required. In addition, subject to successful due diligence and shareholder and regulatory approvals, if required, the potential short term development opportunities of the PT BEK Coal Project (part of the SEAE acquisition) to generate cash inflows, supported by off-take agreements, in the later part of the coming financial year should help to strengthen the groups capital management program. The development of the PT BEK Coal Project is subject to completion of technical and legal due diligence, shareholder approval of the SEAE acquisition and regulatory approvals, if required, and the provision of sufficient capital for development.

The ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is also dependent upon the successful exploitation of its mineral tenements and progression of its exploration activities into a successful production stage.

Should the Company be unable to raise the funding referred to above, there is a material uncertainty whether the Company will be able to continue as a going concern, and therefore, whether it will be required to realize its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from these stated in the financial report. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

s. Comparative Figures

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

t. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical knowledge and experience, best available information and other factors that are considered to be relevant. 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.

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

The Group capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recovered or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. While there are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted, the directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written off since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded. Such capitalised expenditure is carried at reporting date at $15.4m.

Share-based payment transactions:

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions 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.

The Group measures the cost of cash-settled share-based payments at fair value at the grant date using the Black and Scholes formula taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted.

u. Equity-settled compensation

Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issueds. Sharebased payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the option reserve. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

2. Financial Risk Management Policies

The group‟s principal financial instruments comprise mainly of deposits with banks, receivables, payables and available for sale investments.

The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks, including interest rate and currency risk in accordance with the Group's financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Group's financial targets whilst protecting future financial security.

Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below.

a. Treasury Risk Management

Due to the size of the group, responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board of Directors. This includes the use of hedging derivative instruments, credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements. The level of activity during the financial year did not warrant using derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge certain risk exposures.

b. Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The group‟s activities expose it to financial risks, market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The level of activity during the financial year did not warrant using derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge certain risk exposures. Where relevant and appropriate, the Company will avail itself of appropriate hedging instruments in future financial years.

c. Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity‟s functional currency.

As a result of significant operations in Indonesia a large purchase of services in United States Dollars (a number of Indonesian contractors use United States Dollars), the Group‟s balance sheet can be affected significantly by movements in the US$/A$ exchange rates. The Group also has transaction currency exposure. Such exposure arises from purchases by an operating entity in currencies other than the functional currency.

At 30 June 2011, the Group had the following exposure to US$ foreign currency:

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2011

The Parent has a loan with a related entity denominated US currency. This loan is not expected to be repaid as the entity has formed part of the consolidated group.

The following sensitivity is based on the foreign currency risk exposures in existence at the balance sheet date:

At 30 June 2011, had the Australian Dollar moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit and equity would have been affected as follows:

(2,496)
(3,030)

Management believe the balance date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in the financial instruments. The movements are reasonable with reference to the historical exchange rate fluctuations.

a. Fair Value Interest Rate Risk

Refer to (d) below.

b. Credit Risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements. The group did not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors at balance date.

c. Liquidity Risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash to fund the group‟s activities. The directors regularly monitor the Company‟s cash position and on an on-going basis consider a number of strategic initiatives to ensure that adequate funding continues to be available.

The table below reflects all contractually fixed pay-offs and receivables for settlement, repayments and interest resulting from recognised financial assets and liabilities. The undiscounted cash flows for the respective upcoming fiscal years are presented. Cash flows for financial assets and liabilities without fixed amount or timing are based on the conditions existing at 30 June 2011.

Maturity analysis of financial assets and liability based on management’s expectation.

The risk implied from the values shown in the table below, reflects a balanced view of cash inflows and outflows. Trade payables and other financial liabilities mainly originate from the financing of the day to day operations of the group. These assets are considered in the group‟s overall liquidity risk.

d. Cash Flow and Fair Value Interest Rate Risk

Due to the Company‟s significant holding of cash and cash equivalents, the group‟s income and operating cash flows are materially exposed to changes in market interest rates.

At balance date, the group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to Australian variable interest rate risk that are not designated in cash flow hedges:

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2011

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the balance sheet date

At 30 June 2011, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit and equity would have been affected as follows:

Post Tax Profit Equity
Judgements of reasonably possible movements: Higher/(Lower) Higher/(Lower)
2011 2010 2011 2010
$ $ $ $
Consolidated
AUD/USD + 1% (100 basis points) 20,269 11,094 - -
AUD/USD - .5% (50 basis points) (10,134) (5,547) - -

The movements in profit are due to higher/lower interest costs from variable rate cash balances. The movements are reasonable with reference to the historical interest rate fluctuations.

e. Price Risk

The Group's exposure to commodity and equity securities price risk is minimal at present.

Equity securities price risk arises from investments in equity securities. The Company has one investment in a listed equity which is publicly traded.

The price risk for both listed and unlisted securities is immaterial in terms of a possible impact on profit and loss or total equity and as such a sensitivity analysis has not been completed.

f. Net Fair Values

The net fair values of:

  • Term receivables, government and fixed interest securities and bonds are determined by discounting the cash flows, at the market interest rates of similar securities, to their present value

  • Listed investments have been valued at the quoted market bid price at balance date, adjusted for transaction costs expected to be incurred. For unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market, the net fair value has been based on a reasonable estimation of the underlying net assets or discounted cash flows of the investment

  • Other loans and amounts due are determined by discounting the cash flows, at market interest rates of similar borrowings, to their present value

  • Other assets and other liabilities approximate their carrying value.

No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form other than listed investments.

Financial assets where the carrying amount exceeds net fair values have not been written down as the consolidated group intends to hold these assets to maturity.

Aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities at balance date.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Accounts For the Year Ended 30 June 2011

Assets and liabilities where the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value, for example, for financial instruments such as short-term trade receivables and payables, have not been adjusted to fair value.

Included within Level 1 of the hierarchy are listed investments. The fair values of these financial assets have been based on the closing quoted bid prices at reporting date, excluding transaction costs.

In valuing unlisted investments, included in Level 2 of the hierarchy, valuation techniques such as those using comparisons to similar investments for which market observable prices are available have been adopted to determine the fair values of these investments.

Derivative instruments are included in Level 2 of the hierarchy with the fair values being determined using valuation techniques incorporating observable market data relevant to the hedged position.

3. Segment Information

Description of segments

The following table presents revenue and profit information and certain asset and liability information regarding the relevant segments for the year ended 30 June 2011 for the group.

The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the Board of Victory West Metals Limited.

The reportable segments have been identified around geographical areas and regulatory environments. Operating segments have been aggregated where segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics. Specifically PT Sulawesi Molybdenum Management is the Indonesian reporting segment.

The Australian reporting segment derives its revenues from its investments in the entities making up the Indonesian reporting segment and from interest on its cash deposit. It is intended that the Indonesian reporting segment will derive revenue from the commercial exploitation of the exploration assets it currently holds.

Transactions between reportable segments are accounted for in the same manner as transactions with external parties.

The potential tax benefit will only be obtained if:

  • i. The consolidated entity derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised;

  • ii. The consolidated entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation; and

  • iii. No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the consolidated entity in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.

The Directors‟ assessment of the carrying amount was after consideration of prevailing market conditions; previous expenditure carried out on the tenements, and the potential mineralization based on both the entity‟s‟ and independent geological reports. The ultimate value of these assets is dependent upon recoupment by successful commercial development or the sale of the whole, or part, of the Group‟s interests in those areas for an amount at least equal to the carrying value. There may exist, on the Group‟s exploration properties, areas subject to environmental regulations and laws. The Group has a policy of complying with its environmental performance obligations and at the date of this report, it is not aware of any breach of such regulations.

Performance Options

The performance options will lapse if for any reason the Optionholder ends its employment, relationship or engagement with the Company. Also, the conversion of each Performance Option is subject to the completion of the following milestones:

  • (i) the Company announcing to the ASX (or other recognised stock exchange) a JORC compliant resource of at least 120,000 tonnes (265 million pounds) of contained Molybdenum at a minimum grade of at least 600ppm either within one of the permits or total across all of the permits held at that time by the Company ( “Milestone A” ).

  • (ii) The company having a market capitalisation of $80,000,000 Australian Dollars for 5 consecutive trading days (“Milestone B”).

In order for all Performance Options to be converted both Milestone A and Milestone B must be met by the Company. If only one Milestone is met prior to the expiry date then only those Performance options subject to the milestone which is being met are able to be converted.

The fair value of these performance options have been determined based on binomial and black-scholes valuation models at grant date is set out in the table below:

Milestone A Milestone B

Option exercise price ($) $0.25 $0.25
Share price at grant date ($) $0.115 $0.115
Hurdle discount (%) 75% 75%

The fair value of the listed options at grant date issued to employees is based on the last quoted price of these options.

24. Acquisition of Minority Interests in Subsidiary

On 21[st] October 2010, Victory West Metals Ltd entered into a Share Acquisition Agreement with the shareholders of Victory West Pty Ltd to acquire the remaining 25% of their shares in Victory West Pty Ltd.

The consideration transferred was $3,350,000 and was comprised of an issue of equity instruments and a deferred consideration component. The Company issued 25,000,000 ordinary shares with a fair value of $0.10 each, based on the quoted price of shares of Victory West Metals Ltd (VWM) at the date of exchange.

The Company also issued 10,000,000[1] performance shares on 24[th] February 2011 as part of the purchase consideration. The fair value of the performance shares was deemed to be 50% less than the quoted price of VWM at the date of issue ($0.10 per share).

The deferred consideration is $250,000 to be converted, at the election of VWM, to shares at VWM‟s next capital raising. At 30 June 2011 the deferred consideration is recognised as a liability in the accounts of the company (refer note 17).

The difference between the carrying value of the non-controlling interest as at the date of acquisition of $nil and the consideration paid is recognised in equity attributable to the parent. Accordingly, a debit to Acquisition Reserve of $3,350,000 is reflected in the statement of changes in equity. (Also refer note 22(d)).

1 The 10,000,000 Performance Shares are convertible to 10,000,000 Shares upon completion of a 10,000 metre drilling exploration program on the Malala Molybdenum Project by the Company (or a third party on behalf of the Company) before February 2015.
