Environmental Issues
The Company is subject to environmental regulations under the laws of the Commonwealth and State. The Company has a policy of complying with its environmental performance obligations and at the date of this report is not aware of any breach of such regulations.
Indemnities given and insurance premiums paid to auditors and officers
During the reporting period, the Company paid an insurance premium to insure the Directors and Officers of the Company. The Officers of the Company covered by the insurance policy include all Directors and the Company Secretary. The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of the Company, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise out of conduct involving a willful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else to cause detriment to the Company. Details of the amount of the premium paid in respect of the insurance policies are not disclosed as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.
The Company has entered into an agreement with the Directors and Officers to indemnify them against any claim and related expenses, which arise as a result of work completed in their respective capabilities.
The Company has not otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, indemnified or agreed to indemnity any current or former officer or auditor of the Company against a liability incurred as such by an officer or auditor.
Non Audit Services
During the reporting period, the Company’s auditor assisted the Company in the preparation of the Prospectus by preparing the Investigating Accountants Report.
The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the year is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
• All non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Company and have been reviewed by the Board to ensure they do not impact upon the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor; and
• The non-audit services do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards.
Details of the amounts paid to the auditors of the Company, Grant Thornton, and its related practices for audit and non-audit services provided during the year are set out in Note 23 to the Financial Statements.
A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under s307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is included on page 12 of this financial report and forms part of this Directors report.

It should be noted that the Company’s policies as included in the Company’s Corporate Governance Plan were implemented progressively from the incorporation of the Company through to the end of the reporting period. The Company’s Corporate Governance Plan was formally implemented by the Board on 14 February 2011.
Further information on the Company’s corporate governance policies and practices can be found on Tellus Resources’s website at www.tellusresources.com.au.
Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight
Functions of the Board and Management
The Board of Directors is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company and operates in accordance with the principles set out in its Charter, which is available in the corporate governance section of the Company’s website. 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.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
-
Approval of the annual and half-yearly financial reports.
-
Ensuring the market and shareholders are fully informed of material developments.
The responsibility for the operation and administration of the Company is delegated by the Board to the Executive Director and the Chief Executive Officer (if appointed). The Board ensures that both the Executive Director and executive team are appropriately qualified and experienced to discharge their responsibilities and, as discussed above, has in place procedures to monitor and assess their performance.
Senior Executive performance evaluation
The Board monitors the performance of senior management, including measuring actual performance against planned performance. The Board follows the performance evaluation principles outlined in its Corporate Governance Plan.
Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value
Board composition
A majority of the Directors are currently independent. The names of the members of the Board as at the date of this report are as follows:
-
Mr Anthony Wehby (Chairman) - Independent Non-Executive Director
-
Mr David Ward - Executive Technical Director
-
Mr Richard Willson - Independent Non-Executive Director
The Board seeks to ensure that the appropriate mix of skills and expertise is present on the Board to facilitate successful strategic direction. The Company’s Corporate Governance Plan outlines that there will be at least three non-executive directors and where practical, at least fifty percent of the Board will be independent, however due to the size of the Company, this is currently not the case.
The Board Charter specifies that an independent Director is one who is independent of management and free from any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the exercise of independent judgment. Independent Directors should also meet the definition of independence as set out in the ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles.
Principles and Recommendations
The independence of Directors will be regularly assessed by the Board in light of their interests, all of which must be disclosed.
Role of the Chairman
The Chair is currently Anthony Wehby, who is an independent Director. The Company’s Corporate Governance Plan outlines ceases to be an independent Director, the Board will consider appointing a lead Independent Director. that the Chair should be a non-executive Director and that if a Chairman
David Ward is the Technical Executive Director and undertakes the role of Chief Executive Officer and Anthony Wehby is the Non-Executive Chair, thus not being the same individual. The Company’s Corporate Governance Plan also outlines that in the future the Chief Executive Officer should not be the Chairman of the Company during his term as Chief Executive Officer or in the future.
Nomination and Remuneration Committee
Based on the fact that the Company is in its early stages of development, and given the current size and structure of the Board, the Board has not yet formed a separate Nomination Committee which is a departure from the ASX Principles.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
Directors’ Performance Evaluation
The Board undertakes an assessment of its collective performance, the performance of the Board committees and the Chairman on an annual basis.
In order to ensure the Board continues to discharge its responsibilities in an appropriate manner, a review of the performance over the previous 12 months of the Board and individual Directors will be arranged by the Board in accordance with the terms of the Nomination Committee Charter, until such time as a Nomination Committee is established.
Independent professional advice and access to information
Each Director has the right of access to all relevant information in the Company in addition to access to the Company’s executives. Each Director also has the right to seek independent professional advice subject to prior consultation with, and approval from, the Chairman. This advice will be provided at the Company’s expense and will be made available to all members of the Board.
Insurance
The Company has in place a Directors and Officers liability insurance policy providing a specified level of cover for current and former Directors and executive Officers of the Company against liabilities incurred whilst acting in their respective capacity.
Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision making
Code of Conduct
The Company recognises the importance of establishing and maintaining high ethical standards and decision making in conducting its business and is committed to increasing shareholder value in conjunction with fulfilling its responsibilities as a good corporate citizen. All Directors, managers and employees are expected to act with the utmost integrity, honesty and objectivity, striving at all times to enhance the reputation and performance of the Company.
The Company’s Corporate Governance Plan includes a Corporate Code of Conduct, which provides a framework for decisions and actions in relation to ethical conduct in employment.
A copy of the code of conduct is available from the corporate governance section of the Company’s website.
Securities Trading Policy
The Company has established a share trading policy which governs the trading in the Group’s shares and applies to all Directors and employees of the Company. A copy of this policy is available on the Company’s website.
Under this share trading policy, an executive, employee or director must not trade in any securities of the Company at any time when they are in possession of unpublished, price sensitive information in relation to those securities.
Before commencing to trade, an executive or employee must first obtain the permission of the Company Secretary to do so, and a director must obtain the permission of the Chairman. The trading windows are four weeks after the release of the half year results, full year results and the holding of the Annual General Meeting. Trading of securities outside the trading windows can only occur in exceptional circumstances and with the approval of the Company Secretary.
As required by the ASX listing rules, the Company notifies the ASX of any transaction conducted by Directors in the securities of the Group.
Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting
Audit and Risk Committee
The Company does not comply with ASX recommendations 4.1 and 4.2 in that there is no separate audit committee, and it is not comprised only of non-executive Directors. Given that the Company is in its early stages of development, and given the current size and structure of the Board, the Board has not yet formed a separate audit committee.
However, the Board has established a formal terms of reference for an Audit and Risk Committee.
The Board does not consider that at this stage any efficiencies or other benefits would be gained from establishing a separate committee. Accordingly, until the Audit and Risk Committee is established, the Board will carry out the duties of the Audit and Risk Committee in accordance with the terms of reference that have been adopted.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure
Tellus Resources Ltd has established policies and procedures to ensure timely and balanced disclosure of all material matters concerning the Company, and ensure that all investors have access to information on the Company’s financial performance. This ensures that the Group is compliant with the information disclosure requirements under the ASX Listing Rules.
The Company has a continuous disclosure program in place designed to ensure the factual presentation of the Company’s financial position. The Board has designated the Company Secretary as the person responsible for overseeing and coordinating disclosure of information to the ASX and shareholders, as well as providing guidance to Directors and employees on disclosure requirements and procedures.

Principle 6: Respect the rights of shareholders

A full copy of the shareholder communication policy is available from the corporate governance section of the Company’s website.
The external auditor will attend the Annual General Meeting to answer any questions concerning the audit of the Company and the contents of the auditor’s report.
Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk
Risk management framework
The Board determines the Company’s “risk profile” and is responsible for overseeing and approving risk management strategy and policies, internal compliance and internal control. The Company’s Corporate Governance Plan establishes formal terms of reference for disclosure of risk management review procedure and internal compliance and control. In the event that an audit committee is established, the Board will delegate to the Audit and Risk Committee responsibility for implementing the risk management system. However, based on the fact that the Company is it its early stages of development, and given the current size and structure of the Board, the Board has not yet established the Audit and Risk Committee. Until such a committee is established, the Board will carry out these duties with the terms of reference that have been adopted.
Corporate reporting
The Board has received the relevant declarations from the Executive Technical Director and Chief Financial Officer in accordance with s295A of the Corporations Act 2001 and the relevant assurances required under Recommendation 7.3 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles.
Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly
Remuneration Committee
The Company does not comply with ASX recommendation 8.1 in that it has not established a separate remuneration committee.
Based on the fact that the Company is it its early stages of development, and given the current size and structure of the Board, the Board has not yet formed a separate remuneration committee.
However, the Board has established formal terms of reference for a remuneration committee. The Board does not consider that any efficiencies or other benefits would be gained from establishing a separate committee. Accordingly, until the Remuneration Committee is established, the Board will carry out the duties of the Remuneration Committee in accordance with the terms of reference that have been adopted.
A copy of the Remuneration Committee Charter is available from the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
1. General information
Tellus Resources Ltd (“Tellus Resources” and/or the “Company”) is a listed public company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Tellus Resources was incorporated on 21 June 2010, so therefore the financial statements are for the period from that date and there are no comparatives.
The registered and principal place of business is Suite 301, Level 3, 66 Hunter Street, Sydney NSW 2000. Tellus Resource’s shares are listed on the ASX.
2. Significant accounting policies
a) Basis of preparation
Statement of compliance
The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) form the basis of Australian Accounting Standards adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board, being Australian equivalents to IFRS (“AIFRS”). The financial reports of the Company also comply with IFRS and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board adopted in their entirety. The financial statements were approved and authorised for issue by the board of Directors on 21 September 2011.
Historical Cost Convention
The financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is based on the historical costs modified, where applicable by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Functional and presentation currency
Both the functional and presentation currency of the Company is in Australian dollars.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised.
Judgments made by management in the application of Australian Accounting Standards that have significant effect on the financial report and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in Note 2 (r) below.
b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of six months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
c) Property, plant and equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is calculated on the diminishing balance method as follows:
| Computer equipment | 40% |
|---|---|
| Computer software | 40% |
| Field Equipment | 30% |
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period and adjusted if appropriate.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement of comprehensive income.
d) Intangibles
Amortization is calculated on the diminishing balance method as follows:
Computer software 40%
e) Mineral Properties (Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure)
Pre-licence costs are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as incurred.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure, including the costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised on a project by project basis. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Expenditure deemed to be unsuccessful is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income immediately.
Exploration for evaluation assets is assessed for impairment if facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
f) Impairment
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying value 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 assets, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.
g) Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (“GST”), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (“ATO”). In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
h) Income Tax
Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the Statement of Financial Position date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Deferred tax is provided using the Statement of Financial Position liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. No temporary differences are recognised on the initial recognition of goodwill
The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the Statement of Financial Position date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
i) Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables are stated at cost and are recognised when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
j) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables are stated at their cost less impairment losses.
k) Revenue
Interest revenue is recognised on a receivable basis. Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset.
l) Operating expenses
Operating expenses are recognised in profit and loss upon utilisation of the service or at date of their origin.
m) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors.
n) Share based payments
Equity-settled share-based payments granted are measured at fair value at the date of grant. Fair value is calculated using the Black Scholes methodology. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is recognised over the vesting period.
o) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are recognised directly in equity as a deduction, net of tax allowable from proceeds.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
-
p) Earnings per share
-
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
-
the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares; and
-
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year,
-
(ii) 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 additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
-
q) New accounting standards and interpretations
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2011 reporting periods. The Company's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.
- AASB 9 Financial Instruments, AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 and AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) (effective from 1 January 2013).
AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2013 but is available for early adoption. When adopted, the standard will affect in particular the Company’s accounting for its available-for-sale financial assets, since AASB 9 only permits the recognition of fair value gains and losses in other comprehensive income if they relate to equity investments that are not held for trading. Fair value gains and losses on available-for-sale debt investments, for example, will therefore have to be recognised directly in profit or loss. In the current reporting period, the company did not record any such gains in other comprehensive income.
There will be no impact on the Company’s accounting for financial liabilities, as the new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and the Company does not have any such liabilities. The derecognition rules have been transferred from AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and have not been changed. The Company has not yet decided when to adopt AASB 9.
- Revised AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures and AASB 2009-12 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (effective from 1 January 2011).
In December 2009 the AASB issued a revised AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures. It is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 and must be applied retrospectively. The amendment clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party and removes the requirement for government-related entities to disclose details of all transactions with the government and other government-related entities. The Company will apply the amended standard from 1 July 2011. Since the Company is not a government related entity, there are not expected to be any changes arising from this standard.
- AASB 2009-14 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement (Amendments to Interpretation 14) (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
This Standard amends Interpretation 14 addresses unintended consequences that can arise from the previous accounting requirements when an entity prepays future contributions into a defined benefit pension plan.
As the Company does not have a defined benefit pension plan this amendment to Interpretation 14 is not expected to have any impact on the entity’s financial report.
- AASB 2010-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from reduced disclosure requirements This Standard makes amendments to Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations to give effect to the Reduced Disclosure Requirements for Tier 2 entities.
AASB 2010-2 sets out the relevant disclosures that will not be required to be made if it is a Tier 2 entity that nominates to comply.
AASB 1053 provides further information regarding the differential reporting framework and the two tiers of reporting requirements for preparing general purpose financial statements.
- AASB 2010-4 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project [AASB 1, AASB 7, AASB 101, AASB 134 and Interpretation 13] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011).
This Standard details numerous changing to the Accounting Standards arising from the IASB’s annual improvements project. Key changes include:
-
- Emphasises the interaction between quantitative and qualitative AASB 7 disclosures and the nature and extent of risks associated with financial instruments.
-
Clarifies that an entity will present an analysis of other comprehensive income for each component of equity, either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements.
-
Provides guidance to illustrate how to apply disclosure principles in AASB 134 for significant events and transactions.
-
Clarify that when the fair value of award credits is measured based on the value of the awards for which they could be redeemed, the amount of discounts or incentives otherwise granted to customers not participating in the award credit scheme, is to be taken in account
-
AASB 1053 Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards
This Standard establishes a differential financial reporting framework consisting of two Tiers of reporting requirements for preparing general purpose financial statements:
-
Tier 1: Australian Accounting Standards; and
-
Tier 2: Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements.
-
Tier 2 comprises the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements of Tier 1, but contains substantially fewer disclosures requirements.
-
The following entities apply Tier 1 requirements in preparing general purpose financial statements:
-
for-profit entities in the private sector that have public accountability (as defined in this Standard); and
-
the Australian Government and State, Territory and Local Governments.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Since the Company is a for-profit private sector entity that has public accountability, it does not qualify for the reduced disclosure requirements for Tier 2 entities.
- AASB 2010-05 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 101, 107, 112, 118, 119, 121, 132, 133, 134, 137, 139, 140, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 112, 115, 127, 132 & 1042] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011).
The Standard makes numerous editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of International Financial Reporting Standards by the International Accounting Standards Board. However, these editorial amendments have no major impact on the requirements of the respective amended pronouncements.
- AASB 2010-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures on Transfers of Financial Assets (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011).
Amendments made to AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures in November 2010 introduce additional disclosures in respect of risk exposures arising from transferred financial assets. The amendments will affect particularly entities that sell, factor, securitise, lend or otherwise transfer financial assets to other parties. They are not expected to have any significant impact on the Company's disclosures. The Company intends to apply the amendment from 1 July 2011.
- AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 102, 108, 112, 118, 120, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 136, 137, 139, 1023, & 1038 and interpretations 2, 5, 10, 12, 19 & 127] (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 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.
- AASB 2010-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards –Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets [AASB 112] (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013).
This Standard makes amendments to AASB 112: Income Taxes.
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.
The amendments are not expected to impact the Company.
r) Key judgement estimates
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, 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 experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies
The following are the critical judgements including those involving estimations, that management has made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
i) Share-based payments
The Company is required to use assumptions in respect of the fair value model, and the variable element in the model, used in determining the share based payments.
ii) Impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Company decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.
Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to the environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.
Given the stage of exploration of the Company, it is not possible to reliably estimate future cash flows. The carrying value of mineral properties is reviewed and assessed with reference to comparative transactions, the status of existing joint venture arrangements, market volatility and the significant changes in valuations for all mineral assets as a result of the recent significant discounting of equity markets. To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.
iii) Carbon tax
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 Comapny as legislation must be voted on and passed by both houses of Parliament. In addition, as the Company 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. Directors expect that this will not have a significant impact upon the operation costs within the business, and therefore will not have an impact upon the valuation of assets and/or going concern of the business.

16. Commitments for expenditure
The Company has minimum expenditure commitments to meet the conditions under which the properties are granted. These minimum expenditure commitments total $861,000 (annual minimum expenditure on mineral properties from grant date of the licence to the renewal date is $307,000). These minimum commitments may vary from time to time, subject to approval by the grantor of titles or by variation of contractual agreements. The expenditure represents potential expenditure which may be reduced by entering into sale, joint venture or relinquishment of the interests and may vary depending upon the results of exploration. Should expenditure not reach the required level in respect of each area of interest, the Company’s interest could be either reduced or forfeited.
17. Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Tellus Resources has been joined as a party in two proceedings in the New South Wales Court of Appeal by Mr Albert Gilbert Martin. Mr Martin has alleged that the Company was granted certain exploration licences as a result of the alleged misuse of confidential information by the Department of Industry and Investment and others, information which Mr Martin alleges he supplied.
Tellus Resources is the Sixth Respondent in proceeding 2011/84040 in the Court of Appeal and the Fifth Respondent in proceeding 2011/185491 in that court. The proceedings are appeals brought by Mr Anthony Gilbert Martin against various decisions of the New South Wales Land and Environment Court. Tellus Resources was not a party in either of the proceedings in the Land and Environment Court, to which the appeals relate, although Mr Martin unsuccessfully sought to join the company to the Court of Appeal proceedings 2011/185491.
On 14 September 2011, the Court of Appeal delivered judgement in the two Court of Appeal proceedings. In proceeding CA2011/185491, the appeal was struck out as incompetent, leave to appeal was refused and Mr Martin was ordered to pay costs of the Respondents, including Tellus Resources. In proceeding CA2011/84040, the Court of Appeal granted leave to appeal on limited grounds, being grounds relating to an order for security of costs. Otherwise leave to appeal was refused.
On 19 September, 2011 the Court of Appeal delivered a further judgment in proceedings 2011/84040 in which orders were made striking out certain orders in the Notice of Appeal, including the orders relating to Tellus Resources Limited, and for costs in favour of the Company.
Therefore, there is now no Notice of Appeal which relates to Tellus Resources Limited.
However, Mr Martin has filed a Notice of Motion in the Court of Appeal proceedings to which Tellus Resources Limited is a party, wherein Mr Martin seeks orders against Tellus Resources and other parties for alleged contempt of Court. This Notice of Motion is listed before the Court of Appeal for hearing on 27 September, 2011.
Tellus Resources has received legal advice that given the known facts and circumstances there is no reasonable basis for a claim that it misused confidential information belonging to Mr Martin in obtaining exploration licences, or that that there is any reasonable prospect of any order being made against it pursuant to the Notice of Motion filed in the Court of Appeal. Accordingly the directors consider that any liability to Tellus Resources Limited is remote and accordingly no liabilities in relation to these matters have been brought to account.

19. Financial instruments
Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risks the Company is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity and credit risk. Due to the size of the company, a separate finance committee does not exist. The Board is responsible for the financial risk management and considers future cash flow requirements as required.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is managed by investing cash with major financial institutions in both cash on deposit and term deposit accounts.
Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows. The Company’s operations require it to raise capital on an on-going basis to fund its planned exploration program and to commercialise its tenement assets. If the Company does not raise capital in the short term, it can continue as a going concern by reducing planned but not committed exploration expenditure until funding is available and/or entering into joint venture arrangements where exploration is funded by the joint venture partner.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company as well as through deposits with financial institutions. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate as means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults and only banks and financial institutions with an ‘A’ rating are utilised. The Company measures risk on a fair value basis.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.
Price risk
The Company does not derive revenue from sale of products therefore, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the price risk is not considered material. The fair value of the mineral projects will be impacted by commodity price changes and could impact future revenues once operational. However, management monitors current and projected commodity prices.
The Company is mainly exposed to mining services price risk. Management constantly monitors price movements and seeks ways to minimise the cost on operating activities.

Financial instruments
The Company has exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instruments’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on those financial assets and the financial liabilities.
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk and effective weighted average interest rate for financial assets and liabilities is set out below.

Net fair values
The Directors consider that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximates their fair values.
Sensitivity analysis
Interest Rate Risk and Price Risk
The Company has performed sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk and price risk at reporting date. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis
At 30 June 2011, the effect on loss and equity as a result of fluctuations in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant has been considered. For the purpose of this exercise, a 1% increase in the interest results in a decrease in loss by $4,870 and an increase in equity by $4,870. These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions.
Price Risk Sensitivity Analysis
As the company does not derive revenue from sale of products, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the price risk is not considered material. The fair value of the exploration projects will be impacted by commodity price changes and could impact future revenues once operational. However, management monitors current and projected commodity prices.

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.
