Non Audit Services
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 Group, Grant Thornton, and its related practices for audit and non-audit services provided during the year are set out in Note 24 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 17 of this financial report and forms part of this Directors’ report.

The following report determines the principle used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration. The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors and Key Management Personnel. The role also includes responsibility for share options incentives, superannuation entitlements, retirement and termination entitlements, fringe benefits policies, liability insurance policies and other terms of employment.
The Board will review the arrangements having regard to performance, relevant comparative information and at its discretion may obtain independent expert advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages or fees paid to Key Management Personnel. No remuneration consultant was used during the period. Remuneration packages are set at levels intended to attract and retain Key Management Personnel capable of managing the Group’s activities. Where Key Management Personnel positions are held by consultants, fees are based on normal commercial terms and conditions.
The remuneration of an Executive Director will be decided by the Board, without the affected Executive Director participating in that decision-making process.
The total maximum remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is the subject of a Shareholder resolution in accordance with the Company’s Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. The determination of Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each Non-Executive Director. The current limit, which may only be varied by Shareholders in general meeting, is an aggregate amount of $250,000 per annum.
The Board may award additional remuneration to Non-Executive Directors called upon to perform extra services or make special exertions on behalf of the Group.
The executive pay and reward framework has three components:
-
Base pay and benefits;
-
Long-term incentives through share schemes; and
-
Other remuneration such as superannuation.
The combination of these comprises the Key Management Personnel total remuneration.
All remuneration is fixed and no portion is based on performance targets. The award of long-term incentives is based upon the discretion of the Board.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
The Board of Directors is committed to improving and achieving good standards of corporate governance and has established corporate government policies and procedures, where appropriate and practicable, consistent with the revised Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2010 Amendments 2nd Edition issued by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (“ASX Recommendations”).
The following statement sets out a summary of the Group’s corporate governance practices that were in place during the financial year and how those practices relate to the revised ASX Recommendations. The Company has reported against the revised Principles and Recommendations for each of the financial years ended 30 June 2011 through to 30 June 2014.
These recommendations are not intended to be prescriptions to be followed by all ASX listed companies, but rather guidelines designed to produce an effective, quality and integrity outcome. The Corporate Governance Council has recognised that a “one size fits all” approach to Corporate Governance is not required. Instead, it states aspirations of good practice for optimising corporate performance and accountability in the interests of shareholders and the broader economy. A company may consider that a recommendation is inappropriate to its particular circumstances and has flexibility not to adopt it and explain why.
In ensuring a good standard of ethical behaviour and accountability, the Board has included in its corporate governance policies those matters contained in the ASX Recommendations where applicable. However, the Board also recognises that full adoption of the above ASX Recommendations may not be practical nor provide the optimal result given the particular circumstances and structure of the Company. The Board is, nevertheless, committed to ensuring that appropriate Corporate Governance practices are in place for the proper direction and management of the Company. This statement outlines the main Corporate Governance practices of the Company disclosed under the ASX Recommendations, including those that comply with good practice and which unless otherwise disclosed, were in place during the whole of the financial year ended 30 June 2014.
Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight
Recommendation 1.1 – Recommendation followed
1 .1 Companies should establish the functions reserved to the Board and those delegated to senior executives and disclose those functions.
The Board’s role is to govern the Company rather than manage it. The Company’s Corporate Governance Plan includes a Board Charter which sets out the specific responsibilities of the Board and provides that the Board shall delegate responsibility for the day-to-day operations and administration of the Company to the Executive Directors and any Chief Executive Officer (if appointed).
Recommendation 1.2 – Recommendation followed
1.2 Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of senior executives.
The Board will monitor the performance of senior management, including measuring actual performance against planned performance. The Board will follow the performance evaluation principles outlined in its Corporate Governance Plan.
Recommendation 1.3 – Recommendation followed
1.3 Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 1.
The Board Charter discloses the specific responsibilities of the Board and provides that the Board shall delegate responsibility for the day-to-day operations and administration of the Company to the Executive Director/(s) and Chief Executive Officer (if appointed).
The Company’s Corporate Governance policies are set out on the Company’s website at www.tellusresources.com.au.
Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value
Recommendation 2.1 – Recommendation followed
2.1 A majority of the Board should be independent Directors.
A majority of the Directors are currently independent. The Company has three Directors and Neil Young and Robert Kennedy are independent.
The Board seeks to ensure that the appropriate mix of skills and expertise is present on the Board to facilitate successful strategic direction.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value (continued)
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 and Recommendations.
The independence of Directors will be regularly assessed by the Board in light of their interests, all of which must be disclosed.
Recommendation 2.2 – Recommendation followed
2.2 The Chairman should be an independent Director.
The Chairman is currently Robert Kennedy, who is an independent Director.
The Company’s Corporate Governance Plan outlines that the Chairman should be a non-executive Director and that if a Chairman ceases to be an independent Director, the Board will consider appointing a lead independent Director.
Recommendation 2.3 – Recommendation followed
2.3 Carl Dorsch was appointed Managing Director on 23 August 2013 and undertakes the role of Chief Executive Officer and Robert Kennedy is the Non-Executive Chairman, thus not been 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.
Recommendation 2.4 – Recommendation not followed
2.4 The Board should establish a nomination 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. Currently matters typically dealt with by such a committee are dealt with by the Board, however, the Board has formal terms of reference for the establishment of a Nomination Committee.
Recommendation 2.5 – Recommendation followed
2.5 Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of the Board, its committees and individual Directors.
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, its committees 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.
Recommendation 2.6 – Recommendation followed
2.6 Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 2.
A description of the skills and experience of each of the current Directors is contained in the Company’s Directors’ Report and on the Company’s website. Two of the three members of the current Board, Robert Kennedy and Neil Young are considered to be independent Directors in accordance with the definition of an independent Director as contained in the Company’s Corporate Governance Plan.
Based on the fact that the Company is in its early stages of development, the Company has not yet fully complied with Principle 2 of the ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations. To the extent that it has not complied with Principle 2, the Company will seek to do so as the Company develops.
The Nomination Committee, when established, will determine the procedure for the selection and appointment of new Directors and the re-election of incumbents, having regard to the ability of the individual to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities, as well as assist the Company in achieving growth and delivering value to shareholders. The policy for the appointment of new Directors is set out in the Company’s Corporate Governance Plan.
The Company’s Corporate Governance policies are set out on the Company’s website at www.tellusresources.com.au.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision-making
Recommendation 3.1 – Recommendation followed
-
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.
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.
Recommendation 3.2 – Recommendation not followed
- 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 measureable objectives for achieving gender diversity and for the Board to assess annually both the objectives and progress in achieving them.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
- Nature of operations
Tellus Resources Ltd and its subsidiary (the Group) principal activities include oil & gas and mineral exploration.
2. General information
Tellus Resources Ltd is the Group’s ultimate parent Company and is a listed public Company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Tellus Resources was incorporated on 21 June 2010.
Tellus Resources is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
The registered and principal place of business is Level 5, 70 Pirie Street, Adelaide SA 5000. Tellus Resources’ shares are listed on the ASX.
- Significant accounting policies
a) Basis of preparation
Statement of compliance
The consolidated general purpose financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Australian Accounting Standards incorporate International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensure that the financial statements and notes also comply with IFRS. The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 (including comparatives) were approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 30 September 2014.
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 Group 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 3(s) below.
b) New and revised standards that are effective for these financial statements
A number of new and revised standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013. Information on these new standards is presented below.
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
b) New and revised standards that are effective for these financial statements (continued)
Any significant impact on the accounting policies of the consolidated entity from the adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations are disclosed below. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:
AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
AASB 10 supersedes AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (AASB 127) and AASB Interpretation 112 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. The consolidated entity has applied AASB 10 from 1 July 2013, which has a new definition of 'control'. Control exists when the reporting entity is exposed, or has the rights, to variable returns from its involvement with another entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its 'power' over that other entity. A reporting entity has power when it has rights that give it the current ability to direct the activities that significantly affect the investee's returns. The consolidated entity not only has to consider its holdings and rights but also the holdings and rights of other shareholders in order to determine whether it has the necessary power for consolidation purposes
AASB 11 Joint Arrangements
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 11 from 1 July 2013. The standard defines which entities qualify as joint arrangements and removes the option to account for joint ventures using proportional consolidation. Joint ventures, where the parties to the agreement have the rights to the net assets are accounted for using the equity method. Joint operations, where the parties to the agreements have the rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, will account for its share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses separately under the appropriate classifications.
AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities.
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 12 from 1 July 2013. The standard contains the entire disclosure requirement associated with other entities, being subsidiaries, associates, joint arrangements (joint operations and joint ventures) and unconsolidated structured entities. The disclosure requirements have been significantly enhanced when compared to the disclosures previously located in AASB 127 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements', AASB 128 'Investments in Associates', AASB 131 'Interests in Joint Ventures' and Interpretation 112 'Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities'.
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 13 and its consequential amendments from 1 July 2013. The standard provides a single robust measurement framework, with clear measurement objectives, for measuring fair value using the 'exit price' and provides guidance on measuring fair value when a market becomes less active. The 'highest and best use' approach is used to measure non-financial assets whereas liabilities are based on transfer value. The standard requires increased disclosures where fair value is used.
AASB 119 Employee Benefits (September 2011) and AASB 2011-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011).
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 119 and its consequential amendments from 1 July 2013. The standard eliminates the corridor approach for the deferral of gains and losses; streamlines the presentation of changes in assets and liabilities arising from defined benefit plans, including requiring remeasurements to be presented in other comprehensive income; and enhances the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. The standard also changed the definition of short-term employee benefits, from 'due to' to 'expected to' be settled within 12 months. Annual leave that is not expected to be wholly settled within 12 months is now discounted allowing for expected salary levels in the future period when the leave is expected to be taken.

b) New and revised standards that are effective for these financial statements (continued)
AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements (Revised), AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (Reissued) and AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards.
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 127, AASB 128 and AASB 2011-7 from 1 July 2013. AASB 127 and AASB 128 have been modified to remove specific guidance that is now contained in AASB 10, AASB 11 and AASB 12 and AASB 2011-7 makes numerous consequential changes to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations. AASB 128 has also been amended to include the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures.
AASB 2012-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2012-2 from 1 July 2013. The amendments enhance AASB 7 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures' and requires disclosure of information about rights of set-off and related arrangements, such as collateral agreements. The amendments apply to recognised financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement.
AASB 2012-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2012-5 from 1 July 2013. The amendments affect five Australian Accounting Standards as follows: Confirmation that repeat application of AASB 1 'First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards' is permitted; Clarification of borrowing cost exemption in AASB 1; Clarification of the comparative information requirements when an entity provides an optional third column or is required to present a third statement of financial position in accordance with AASB 101 'Presentation of Financial Statements'; Clarification that servicing of equipment is covered by AASB 116 'Property, Plant and Equipment', if such equipment is used for more than one period; clarification that the tax effect of distributions to holders of equity instruments and equity transaction costs in AASB 132 'Financial Instruments: Presentation' should be accounted for in accordance with AASB 112 'Income Taxes'; and clarification of the financial reporting requirements in AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the disclosure requirements of segment assets and liabilities.
AASB 2012-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Transition Guidance and Other Amendments
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2012-10 amendments from 1 July 2013, which amends AASB 10 and related standards for the transition guidance relevant to the initial application of those standards. The amendments clarify the circumstances in which adjustments to an entity's previous accounting for its involvement with other entities are required and the timing of such adjustments
Interpretation 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine and AASB 2011-12 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Interpretation 20
The consolidated entity has applied Interpretation 20 and its consequential amendments from 1 July 2013. The Interpretation clarifies when production stripping costs should lead to the recognition of an asset and how that asset should be initially and subsequently measured. The Interpretation only deals with waste removal costs that are incurred in surface mining activities during the production phase of the mine.
AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirement
The consolidated entity has applied 2011-4 from 1 July 2013, which amends AASB 124 'Related Party Disclosures' by removing the disclosure requirements for individual key management personnel ('KMP'). Corporations and Related Legislation Amendment Regulations 2013 and Corporations and Australian Securities and Investments Commission Amendment Regulation 2013 (No.1) now specify the KMP disclosure requirements to be included within the Directors' report.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YE AR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
- Significant accounting policies (continued)
c) Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2014. The Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June 2014.
All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.
Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary's profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests.
d) 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 three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
e) Plant and equipment
Each class of 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 | 20% |
| Furniture and fittings | 20% |
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 Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
f) Intangibles
Amortisation is calculated on the diminishing balance method as follows:
Computer software 40%
g) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

The Group’s expansion into additional geographic locations in Australia and Internationally has resulted in additional detail being provided about operating segments that was not disclosed in the 2013 annual report.
Management has determined the operating segments based on internal reports about components of the group that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker, the Managing Director, in order to make strategic decisions. The reportable operating segments reflect the group’s current strategic business units. The following summary describes the operations in each of the group’s reportable segments;
-
South Australian projects;
-
Eastern Australian projects;
-
Utah, United States projects;
The Managing Director monitors performance in these areas separately. Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Managing Director are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the group. The group has three operating segments; South Australia, Eastern Australia and the United States.
h) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs related to an area of interest are written off as incurred except they may be carried forward as an item in the statement of financial position where the rights of tenure of an area are current and one of the following conditions is met:
-
The costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; and
-
Exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the end of each reporting period 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.
Capitalised costs include costs directly related to exploration and evaluation activities in the relevant area of interest. General and administrative costs are allocated to an exploration or evaluation asset only to the extent that those costs can be related directly to operational activities in the area of interest to which the asset relates.
Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is written off where the above conditions are no longer satisfied. Identifiable exploration assets acquired are recognised as assets at their cost of acquisition, as determined by the requirements of AASB 3: Business Combinations.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred subsequent to the acquisition in respect of an exploration asset acquired is accounted for in accordance with the policy outlined above . All capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment if facts and circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist.
i) Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be wholly settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in current liabilities in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Other long-term employee benefits.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YE AR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
- Significant accounting policies (continued)
i) Employee Benefits (continued)
The liability for long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in non-current liabilities, provided there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability. The liability is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
j) Joint Operations
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The consolidated entity has recognised its share of jointly held assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations. These have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate classifications
k) Comparative Figures
Comparative figures are adjusted to conform to Accounting Standards when required.
l) Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Tellus Resources Limited's functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss
m) Impairment
Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit
n) 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.
o) Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.

FOR THE YE AR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
- Significant accounting policies (continued)
p) 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 Profit or Loss and Other 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 reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is provided using the Balance Sheet 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;
-
differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
-
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 reporting 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
Tellus Resources Limited (the 'head entity') and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts.
q)
Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables are stated at cost and are recognised when the Group 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.
r) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables are stated at their cost less impairment losses.
s) 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.
t) Operating expenses
Operating expenses are recognised in profit and loss upon utilisation of the service or at date of their origin.
u) 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 share options. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is recognised over the vesting period.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YE AR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
- Significant accounting policies (continued)
u) Share based payments (continued)
The costs of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions
The costs of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
v) 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.
-
a) Earnings per share
-
i. Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
-
The profit attributable to owners of the Group, 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 adjust 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.
w) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2014. The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments and its consequential amendments
This standard and its consequential amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and completes phases I and III of the IASB's project to replace IAS 39 (AASB 139) 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. This standard introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets, using a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value. The accounting for financial liabilities continues to be classified and measured in accordance with AASB 139, with one exception, being that the portion of a change of fair value relating to the entity's own credit risk is to be presented in other comprehensive income unless it would create an accounting mismatch. Chapter 6 'Hedge Accounting' supersedes the general hedge accounting requirements in AASB 139 and provides a new simpler approach to hedge accounting that is intended to more closely align with risk management activities undertaken by entities when hedging financial and non-financial risks. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard and the amendments from 1 July 2017 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated entity.

w) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted (continued)
Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle
These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014 and affects several Accounting Standards as follows: Amends the definition of 'vesting conditions' and 'market condition' and adds definitions for 'performance condition' and 'service condition' in AASB 2 'Share-based Payment'; Amends AASB 3 'Business Combinations' to clarify that contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or liability shall be measured at fair value at each reporting date; Amends AASB 8 'Operating Segments' to require entities to disclose the judgements made by management in applying the aggregation criteria; Clarifies that AASB 8 only requires a reconciliation of the total reportable segments assets to the entity's assets, if the segment assets are reported regularly; Clarifies that the issuance of AASB 13 'Fair Value Measurement' and the amending of AASB 139 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' and AASB 9 'Financial Instruments' did not remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rate at their invoice amount, if the effect of discounting is immaterial; Clarifies that in AASB 116 'Property, Plant and Equipment' and AASB 138 'Intangible Assets', when an asset is revalued the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount (i.e. proportional restatement of accumulated amortisation); and Amends AASB 124 'Related Party Disclosures' to clarify that an entity providing key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity is a 'related party' of the reporting entity. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2014 will not have a material impact on the consolidated entity.
Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle
These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014 and affects four Accounting Standards as follows: Clarifies the 'meaning of effective IFRSs' in AASB 1 'First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards'; Clarifies that AASB 3 'Business Combination' excludes from its scope the accounting for the formation of a joint arrangement in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself; Clarifies that the scope of the portfolio exemption in AASB 13 'Fair Value Measurement' includes all contracts accounted for within the scope of AASB 139 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' or AASB 9 'Financial Instruments', regardless of whether they meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities as defined in AASB 132 'Financial Instruments: Presentation'; and Clarifies that determining whether a specific transaction meets the definition of both a business combination as defined in AASB 3 'Business Combinations' and investment property as defined in AASB 140 'Investment Property' requires the separate application of both standards independently of each other. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2014 will not have a material impact on the consolidated entity.
x) Key judgement estimates
In the application of the Group’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.
y) Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

y) Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
Share-based payment transactions
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.
Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions. It is reasonably possible that the underlying metal price assumption may change which may then impact the estimated life of mine determinant and may then require a material adjustment to the carrying value of mining plant and equipment, mining infrastructure and mining development assets. Furthermore, the expected future cash flows used to determine the value-in-use of these assets are inherently uncertain and could materially change over time. They are significantly affected by a number of factors including reserves and production estimates, together with economic factors such as metal spot prices, discount rates, estimates of costs to produce reserves and future capital expenditure
Income tax
The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The consolidated entity recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the consolidated entity's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Employee benefits provision
As discussed in note 1, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.
Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the consolidated entity will commence commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the mineral resources. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made.

Note 1 – Uplift on Acquisition of PNC Aust Pty Ltd
As part of the acquisition of PNC (Aust) Pty Ltd an Uplift on Acquisition was applied as follows:
Net Assets acquired from PNC (Aust) Pty Ltd ($197,581)* Consideration paid: Issue of Shares $4,000,000 Issue of options $764,400 $4,764,400 Uplift on asset acquisition $4,961,981
*Included in net liabilities acquired was $1,305,695 of exploration assets.
The recoverable amounts were determined based on the fair value of the assets, less cost to sell. In the absence of a binding sale agreement and active market, the Board determined the fair value based on the best information available to reflect an estimated amount that the entity could obtain from the disposal of the assets in an arm’s length transaction.

The Company has minimum expenditure commitments to meet the conditions under which certain tenements were granted. These minimum expenditure commitments total $385,000. 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.

21. Financial Risk Management
Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity and credit risk. Due to the size of the Group, 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 Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows. The Group’s operations require it to raise capital on an ongoing basis to fund its planned exploration program and to commercialise its tenement assets. If the Group 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 Group as well as through deposits with financial institutions. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults and only banks and financial institutions with an ‘A’ rating are utilised. The Group 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 Group 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 Group 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 Group has exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’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.

21. Financial Risk Management (continued)
Sensitivity analysis
Interest Rate Risk and Price Risk
The Group 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 2014, 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 rate results in a decrease in loss by $67,073 (2013: $13,768) and an increase in equity by $67,073 (2013: $13,768). These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions.
Price Risk Sensitivity Analysis
As the Group 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.
22. Share-based payments

There were no employee options granted during the reporting period.

Valuation of Performance Rights
The Performance Rights have been independently valued by Stantons International. The valuation noted above is not necessarily the market price that the Performance Rights could be traded at and is not automatically the market price for taxation purposes.

| Milestone 2 | 400,000 | 14 | 40 | 2.86 | 65% |
The determination of the probability and therefore discount to apply is somewhat subjective as it is difficult to predict the future prospects of the Group or the market. However, the time to meet Milestones 2 and 3 are quite long (to 27 January 2017) and the share volatility since the shares have been traded on ASX in May 2011 approximates 67% and these have been taken into account in determining the appropriate discount. For purposes of our valuation, we have estimated the discount to apply to the value of the Performance Rights with market based vesting conditions.

The fair value of the 45,000,000 Performance Rights issued to Carl Dorsch or his Nominee were calculated using the Independent experts report from Hall Chadwick that formed part of the Notice of Meeting to shareholders when the transaction was voted upon earlier in the year. The Hall Chadwick valuation report calculated the likelihood of achieving each of the target 30-day VWAP’s by applying a Monte Carlo simulation based on the assumptions of transaction completion, $0.10 spot price, 75% share volatility, and the target prices of the respective hurdles. The likelihood of PEL 105 production being achieved has been estimated at 50% and the likelihood of acquiring the Wichita County Project has been estimated at 30% as outlined in the table above.

25. Acquisition of PNC (Aust) Pty Ltd
On 30 April 2013, the Company announced that it had entered into a conditional agreement to acquire 100% of the issued shares in PNC AUST Pty Ltd (PNC). Completion of the Acquisition was conditional on, amongst other things, the Company’s shareholders approval of the resolutions as set out in the Notice of Meeting to the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on 10 July 2013. All resolutions were carried by shareholders at the EGM. Furthermore, it was a condition of the Acquisition that the Company raise a minimum of AUD $2,000,000 to fund the ongoing operations of the Company. On the 23rd of August 2013 the Capital Raising conditions were satisfied and the acquisition of PNC Aust Pty Ltd was completed. At the date of acquisition, PNC Aust Pty Ltd had no employees and its only assets were the tenements and related cash and receivables. Accordingly PNC Aust Pty Ltd does not constitute a business and has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. As a result, costs of $69,017 incurred through this asset acquisition have been capitalised into the cost of the assets acquired.
As part of the acquisition of PNC (Aust) Pty Ltd an Uplift on Acquisition was applied as follows:
Net liabilities acquired from PNC (Aust) Pty Ltd ($197,581)
Consideration paid:
| | Issue of Shares $4,000,000 | |
|---|---|---|
| | Issue of options $764,400 | $4,764,400 |
| Uplift | on asset acquisition | $4,961,981 |
The recoverable amounts were determined based on the fair value of the assets, less cost to sell. In the absence of a binding sale agreement and active market, the Board determined the fair value based on the best information available to reflect an estimated amount that the entity could obtain from the disposal of the assets in an arm’s length transaction.

The consideration payable by the Company for the acquisition is 85,000,000 Tellus Resources Ltd ordinary shares.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on the basis of going concern.
The consolidated entity incurred a net loss after tax of $6,707,296 during the financial year ended 30 June 2014, had a net cash outflow of $5,631,376 from operating and investing activities, and its planned expenditure exceeds its current cash held. The Group continues to be reliant on the completion of a capital raising for continued operations and the provision of working capital which it has a string history of success with.
If the additional capital is not obtained, the going concern basis may not be appropriate with the result that the Company and consolidated entity may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities, other than in the ordinary course of business in amounts different from those stated in the financial report.
- Fair value measurement of assets and liabilities
Fair value hierarchy
AASB 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value hierarchy:
-
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1);
-
Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (level 2); and
-
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).
The Group does not have any assets or liabilities that are measured on the basis of fair value.

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 of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Auditor’s opinion
In our opinion:
-
a the financial report of Tellus Resources 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 2014 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.
Emphasis of matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 30 in the financial report which indicates that the company incurred a net loss of $6,707,296 during the year ended 30 June 2014 and, as of that date, cash outflows from operating and investing activities equates to $5,631,376. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 30, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the company 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.
