Notes to the financial statements

$\mathbf{I}$ Reporting entity

Genesis Resources Limited (the "Company") is a Company domiciled in Australia The address of the Company's registered office is Unit 8, 52 Marina Boulevard, Cullen Bay, Darwin NT 0820. The Company primarily is involved in gold, manganese and base metal exploration and development activities.

$21$ Basis of preparation

$(a)$ Statement of compliance

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial report of the Company complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 13 October 2009.

$(b)$ Basis of measurement

The financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historical costs, modified where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities

$(c)$ Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company's functional currency All financial information has been rounded to the nearest dollar, unless otherwise stated.

$(d)$ Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets. liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 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 and in any future periods affected.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows:

Exploration and evaluation - The Company's policy for exploration and evaluation is discussed in Note 3(c). If, after having capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure, management concludes that the capitalised expenditure is unlikely to be recovered by future sale or exploitation, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off through the income statement. At the date of this report the Company has sufficient reason to believe:

Notes to the financial statements

$\overline{2}$ Basis of preparation continued

$(d)$ Use of estimates and judgements continued

  • rights to explore in specific areas, once expired, will be renewed;
  • substantive expenditure on further exploration for the evaluation of mineral resources in specific area has been budgeted;
  • exploration in specific areas is on going and has lead to the discovery of viable quantities of mineral resources and the Company has not decided to discontinue such activity; and
  • sufficient data exists to indicate that, although a development in a specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets are likely to be recovered in full from successful development or sale.

Significant accounting policies $\overline{3}$

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.

$(a)$ Foreign currency

$(i)$ Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Company entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gam or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss.

Notes to the financial statements

$\overline{3}$ Significant accounting policies continued

$(b)$ Financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments $\ddot{\Omega}$

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables

Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits.

Accounting for finance income and expense is discussed in note 3(e)

Available-for-sale financial assets

The Company's investments in equity securities and certain debt securities are classified as available-for-sale financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses, and foreign currency differences on available-for-sale monetary items, are recognised directly in a separate component of equity. When an investment is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss in equity is transferred to profit or loss

Other

Other non-derivative financial instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

$(ii)$ Share capital

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

Notes to the financial statements

$\overline{\mathbf{3}}$ Significant accounting policies continued

Exploration and evaluation assets $(c)$

Exploration and evaluation costs, including the costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in profit or loss.

Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and either

  • (1) the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest: or
  • (ii) activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if:

  • (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability; and
  • (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount (see impairment accounting policy (d)). For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from exploration and evaluation assets to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment.

Impairment $(d)$

Financial assets $(i)$

A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset

In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a significant and prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. An impairment loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset is calculated by reference to its fair value.

Notes to the financial statements

$\overline{3}$ Significant accounting policies continued

$(d)$ Impairment continued

$\mathbf{d}$ Financial assets contued

Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.

All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any cumulative loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset recognised previously in equity is transferred to profit or loss.

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost and available-for-sale financial assets that are debt securities, the reversal is recognised in profit or loss. For available-for-sale financial assets that are equity securities, the reversal is recognised directly in equity.

Non-financial assets $(ii)$

The carrying amounts of the Company's non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the "cash-generating unit").

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

Notes to the financial statements

Significant accounting policies continued $\mathbf{3}$

$(e)$ Finance income and expenses

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested and foreign currency gains Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.

Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings. All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis

$(6)$ Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss 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 substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and habilities will be realised simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Notes to the financial statements

$31$ Significant accounting policies continued

Goods and services tax $\left( \mathbf{q} \right)$

Revenue, 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 taxation authority. 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. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

$(h)$ Segment information

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged either in providing related products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other segments.

The company operates in one business segment and one geographical segment, namely gold manganese and base metals exploration in Australia. The revenues and results of this segment are those of the Company as a whole and are set out in the income statement.

$(i)$ New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been identified as those which may impact the entity in the period of initial application. They are available for early adoption at 30 June 2009, but have not been applied in preparing this financial report:

  • AASB 8 Operating Segments introduces the "management approach" to segment reporting. AASB 8, which becomes mandatory for the Company's 30 June 2010 financial statements, will required a change in the presentation on and disclosure of segment information based on the internal reports regularly reviewed by the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker in order to assess each segment's performance and to allocate resources to them. Currently the Company presents segment information in respect of its business and geographical segments
  • Revised AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements (2007) introduces the term total comprehensive income, which represents changes in equity during a period other than those changes resulting from transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Total comprehensive income may be presented in either a single statement of comprehensive income (effectively combining both the income statement and all non-owner changes in equity in a single statement) or, in a income statement and a separate statement of comprehensive income. Revised AASB 101 becomes mandatory for the Company's 30 June 2010 financial statements.

Notes to the financial statements

$\mathbf{3}$ Significant accounting policies continued

$(i)$ New standards and interpretations not yet adopted continued

  • AASB 2008-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Process and 2008-6 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from The Annual Improvements Process affect various AASBs resulting in minor changes for presentation, disclosure, recognition and measurement purposes. The amendments, which become mandatory for the Company's 30 June 2010 financial statements, are not expected to have any impact on the financial statements.
  • Revised AASB 123 Borrowing Costs removes the option to expense borrowing costs and requires $\bullet$ that an entity capitalise borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that asset. The revised AASB 123 will become mandatory for the Company's 30 June 2010 financial statements. In accordance with the transitional provisions the Company will apply the revised AASB 123 to qualifying assets for which capitalisation of borrowing costs commences on or after the effective date. Therefore there will be no impact on prior periods in the Company's 1 January 2009 financial statements.
  • AASB 2007-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 8 makes amendments to AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, AASB 102 Inventories, AASB 107 Cash Flow Statements AASB 119, Employee Benefits, AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting, AASB 136 Impairment Assets, AASB 1023 General Insurance Contracts and AASB 1038 Life Insurance Contracts. AASB 2007-3 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 and must be adopted in conjunction with AASB 8 Operating Segments. This standard is only expected to impact disclosures within the financial report
  • AASB 2007-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 123 makes amendments to AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards, AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, AASB 107 Cash Flow Statements, AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment, AASB 138 Intangible Assets, Interpretation 1 Changes in Existing Decommissioning, Restoration and Similar Liabilities and Interpretation 12 Service Concession Arrangements AASB 2007-6 is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 and must be applied at the same time as AASB 123 Borrowing Costs. This standard principally removes the references to expensing borrowing costs on qualifying assets.
  • AASB 2007-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101 $\bullet$ consequently amends a number of AASB's as a result of the reissue of AASB 101 so as to better align with IFRS Terminology. The standard is applicable to entities with a reporting period commencing 1 January 2009
  • AASB 2007-10 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101. AASB 2007-10 makes a number of consequential amendments to a number of accounting standards arising from the revision of AASB 101 in September 2007. The changes are largely to terminology for example, changing the term 'general purpose financial report' to 'general purpose financial statements' and the term 'financial report' to 'financial statements', where relevant, in Australian Accounting Standards (including Interpretations) to better align with IFRS. As the changes do not affect recognition or measurement criteria, the changes are not expected to have any impact on the entity's reported financial position and performance.

Determination of fair values $\boldsymbol{\Lambda}$

A number of the Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability

$(a)$ Trade and other receivables

The fair value of trade and other receivables, is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date

Non-derivative financial liabilities $(b)$

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

$\left( c\right)$ Share-based payment transactions

The fair value of equity-settled share-based payment transactions is measured at the fair value of the goods and services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably. Where the Company cannot estimate reliably the fair value of the goods or services received, the fair value is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted, using the expected listing price of the Company's shares.

Notes to the financial statements

4 Determination of fair values continued

$(d)$ Investments in equity and debt securities

The fair value of investments in equity securities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are determined by reference to their quoted closing bid price at the reporting date. The fair value of investments in debt securities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are determined by reference to their face value.

During the financial year ended 30 June 2009, the Company signed an agreement with RIK SILEKS AD KRATOVO to explore the Plavica tenements in Macedonia. In accordance with the agreement, the Company has provided a loan to SILEKS, the recoverability of which is dependant on the concessions for the Plavica tenements not being granted. In the event the concessions are renewed or issued, the loan shall become qualifying expenditure for the equity account of the Company under the agreement.

The loan is unsecured and no interest is payable and has therefore been classified as an available-for-sale investment.

Impairment loss recognised 155,603
Balance at 30 June 155.603

During the year the Company entered into a Heads of Agreement with Western Desert Resources Limited ("WDR"), an ASX-listed company, to enter into a farm-in agreement over the Company's Gladstone and MeArthur River manganese projects.

Under the terms of the agreement, WDR issued 5 million fully paid ordinary shares to the Company and also agreed to spend \$500,000 on the tenements within two years to earn a 45% interest in the Gladstone and McArthur River tenements.

The carrying value of shares in WDR were written down during the 30 June 2009 financial year as the investment was deemed to be impaired. An unpairment loss of \$155,603 was recognised based on a decline in the quoted market price of the shares.

The Company's exposure to credit and interest rate risks related to investments is disclosed in note 18.

During the year, the Company recognised an impairment loss of \$15,545 with respect to costs capitalised on the Mt Drummond area, as exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area has not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the Company has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area.

Capital Management

The Company's objective when managing capital is to maintain a good debt to equity ratio and safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide a return to shareholders, benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital

The Company's debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities supported by financial assets.

18 Financial risk management and financial instruments

$(a)$ Overview

The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

  • $\bullet$ credit risk
  • liquidity risk $\bullet$
  • $\rm market$ risk $\bullet$

This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of the above risks, its objectives and policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout this financial report.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through regular reviews.

Notes to the financial statements

18 Financial risk management and financial instruments continued

$(b)$ Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company's debt securities

Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of the Company's financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date was:

Cash and cash equivalents 212,250 24.211
739.917
________
81.779

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation

Typically, the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 60 days, this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. The company does not maintain any lines of credit.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements:

$(d)$ Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Interest rate risk

Profile

At balance date the Company had minimal exposure to interest rate risk, through its cash and cash equivalents held within financial institutions.
