Principal Activities
The principal activity of the Company at balance date was the exploration for natural resources.
Review of Operations
At a meeting of shareholders held on 14 May 2010 approval was received for a change in nature and scale of activities to the oil and gas sector and a change of name from Brainz Instruments Limited to Tango Petroleum Limited among other things.
Amazon Prospect
During the year, the Marion Baker #1 well on the Amazon prospect was drilled to a total depth of 15,462 feet.
Caza Oil & Has, Inc. (project operator) and the project partners analysed data collected from logging and surveying of the well, and although several sand sections existed throughout the wellbore, the log data indicated that the targeted Middle Frio section between 12,500-15,462 feet has extremely low porosity and permeability. The shallower sands in the Upper Frio sections between 9,600-12,200 feet, which produce in the immediate area from the Midland Field, appeared to be wet at this location. However, based on log data, Caza advised that it has reason to evaluate these shallower sands for additional potential across its current acreage block. After determining that none of the sands were likely to be productive at commercial rates, Caza sought approval from its partners in the Well to proceed with plug and abandonment procedures.
Thames Prospect
The Company are currently reviewing data obtained during the drilling of the Amazon prospect and its impact on the prospectivity of the Thames prospect. This review and subsequent decision to participate in the Thames prospect is likely to be made during the current quarter.
Project Evaluation
The Company is currently reviewing a number of potential opportunities within the oil and gas sector with a view to identifying an appropriate project in which to participate in the near future. The market will be updated with any developments in this regard if and when they occur.
Corporate
During the June quarter 2010, the Company undertook and entitlement issue and placement of options to raise $375,000 (before costs) through the issue of 75,000,000 options at $0.005.
The Company also lodged a prospectus as part of its capital raising and re-compliance requirements. Pursuant to this prospectus the Company raised $1,000,000 (before costs) through the issue of 5,000,000 shares at $0.20 and 5,000,000 free attaching options. This capital raising was finalised in July.
In February 2011 the Company finalised a placements 6 million shares at 12 cents per share to sophisticated and professional clients of Cygnet Capital Pty Limited to raise $720,000 before costs. Each share subscribed for had a free attaching option on the same terms as the existing listed company options (ASX Code: TNPO). The Placement was done pursuant to ASX listing rule 7.1.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
Operating results for the year

Review of financial conditions
The Company currently has $340,787 in cash assets which the Directors believe is sufficient to enable the Company to continue to review new opportunities. However it is likely the Company will need to raise further capital in order to participate in future exploration activities.

The Company announced a non-renounceable entitlement issue to shareholders of one option (“Entitlement Option”) for every one share held at the record date, at an issue price of 0.5 cents. The Entitlement Options will be a new series of quoted options exercisable at 6 cents each on or before 30 June 2012. The entitlement issue will raise up to approximately $430,000 before costs.

Likely developments and expected results
Disclosure of information regarding likely developments in the operations of the Company in future financial years and the expected results of those operations is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Company. Therefore, this information has not been presented in this report.

The Company is subject to significant environmental and monitoring requirements in respect of its natural resources exploration activities.
The directors are not aware of any significant breaches of these requirements during the period.

Remuneration philosophy
The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of the directors and executives. The philosophy of the Company in determining remuneration levels is to:
-
set competitive remuneration packages to attract and retain high calibre employees;
-
link executive rewards to shareholder value creation; and
-
establish appropriate, demanding performance hurdles for variable executive remuneration
Non-executive director committee
The Non-executive Director Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors and the senior management team.
The Non-executive Director Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of directors and senior executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with an overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team.
Remuneration structure
In accordance with best practice Corporate Governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive remuneration is separate and distinct.
Non-executive director remuneration
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.
The ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The latest determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 31 August 2010 when shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of up to $250,000 per year.
The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers advice from external shareholders as well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Each director receives a fee for being a director of the Company.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The Board of Directors of Tango Petroleum Limited is responsible for establishing the corporate governance framework of the Company having regard to the ASX Corporate Governance Council (‘CGC’) published guidelines as well as its corporate governance principles and recommendations.
The CGC’s published guidelines are as follows:
Principle 1. Lay solid foundations for management and oversight Principle 2. Structure the board to add value Principle 3. Promote ethical and responsible decision making Principle 4. Safeguard integrity in financial reporting Principle 5. Make timely and balanced disclosure Principle 6. Respect the rights of shareholders Principle 7. Recognise and manage risk Principle 8. Remunerate fairly and responsibly
Tango Petroleum Limited’s current corporate governance practices were put in place in November 2009 following the change in the Board of Directors and change in domicile to comply with the Council’s best practice recommendations.
Structure of the Board
The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of director held by each director in office at the date of the annual report is included in the Directors’ Report. Directors of Tango Petroleum Limited are considered to be independent when they are independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with – or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with – the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgment.
In the context of director independence, 'materiality' is considered from both the company and individual director perspective. The determination of materiality requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements. An item is presumed to be quantitatively immaterial if it is equal to or less than 5% of the appropriate base amount. It is presumed to be material (unless there is qualitative evidence to the contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount. Qualitative factors considered include whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it and other factors that point to the actual ability of the director in question to shape the direction of the company’s loyalty.
In accordance with the definition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds set, the following current directors of Tango Petroleum Limited are considered to be independent:
Name Position Mr Garry Ralston Non-Executive Director Mr Tim Johnston Non-Executive Director There are procedures in place, agreed by the Board, to enable directors in the furtherance of their duties to seek independent professional advice at the company’s expense.
The term in office held by each current director in office at the date of this report is as follows:
Name Term in Office Mr Mathew Walker 17 months Mr Garry Ralston 16 months Mr Tim Johnston 7 months

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2011
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations and complies with other requirements of the law.
The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.
The Company is a listed public company, domiciled in Australia and operating in Australia. The entity’s principal activities are Mining Exploration.
The Company has applied the revised AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements which became effective on 1 January 2009. The revised standard requires the separate presentation of a statement of comprehensive income and a statement of changes in equity. All non-owner changes in equity must now be presented in the statement of comprehensive income. As a consequence, the Company had to change the presentation of its financial statements. Comparative information has been re-presented so that it is also in conformity with the revised standard.
(b) Adoption of new and revised standards
Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards
In the year ended 31 March 2011, the Company has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.
It has been determined by the Company that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Company accounting policies.
The Company has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 31 March 2011. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change necessary to Company accounting policies.
(c) Statement of Compliance
The financial report was authorised for issue on 31 May 2011.
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2011
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(d) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
(e) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
(i) Interest income
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset.
(f) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(g) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within periods ranging from 15 days to 30 days.
Impairment of trade receivables is continually reviewed and those that are considered to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account is used when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms. Factors considered by the Company in making this determination include known significant financial difficulties of the debtor, review of financial information and significant delinquency in making contractual payments to the Company.
The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the income statement within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the income statement.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2011
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(h) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities
(i) Financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:
-
the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
-
the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; or
-
the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either:
-
(a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
-
(b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When continuing involvement takes the form of a written and/or purchased option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on the transferred asset, the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement is the amount of the transferred asset that the Company may repurchase, except that in the case of a written put option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on an asset measured at fair value, the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price.
(ii) Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
(i) Foreign currency translation
The functional and presentation currency of Tango Petroleum Limited is Australian dollars. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance date.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
(j) Income tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:
-
when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
-
when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Tango Petroleum Limited
- 25 -
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2011
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
-
when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;
-
or
-
when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
(k) Other taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
-
when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
-
receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.
-
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2011
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(l) Impairment of assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
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. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).
An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
(m) Trade and other payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
(n) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate assets but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.
When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2011
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(o) Share-based payment transactions
The Company provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Company in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Tango Petroleum Limited (market conditions) if applicable.
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The income statement charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.
If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.
If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
Cash settled transactions:
The Company also provides benefits to employees in its electronics segment in the form of cash-settled sharebased payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for cash, the amounts of which are determined by reference to movements in the price of the shares of Tango Petroleum Limited.
The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes formula taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. This fair value is expensed over the period until vesting with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is re-measured to fair value at each balance date up to and including the settlement date with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
(p) Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(q)
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:
-
costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;
-
the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
-
other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2011
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(r) Exploration and evaluation
Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied:
-
(i) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and
-
(ii) at least one of the following conditions is also met:
-
(a) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or
-
(b) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortised of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.
Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development.
(s) Going concern
The directors are of the opinion that the company is a going concern due to the current low cash burn and current capital raising initiatives to ensure the Company will be able to meet its commitments with regards to any future exploration activities.
(t) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of Tango Petroleum Limited.
Change in accounting policy
The Company has adopted AASB 8 Operating Segments from 1 July 2009. AASB 8 replaces AASB 114 Segment Reporting . The new standard requires a ‘management approach’, under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. This has not resulted in a change in the number of reportable segments presented by the Company as operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.

NOTE 3: INCOME TAX (continued)
(c) Tax losses
Unused tax losses for which no deferred tax asset has been recognised have not been recognised as a deferred tax asset as the future recovery of these losses is subject to the Company satisfying the requirements imposed by the regulatory authorities. The benefit of deferred tax assets not brought to account will only be brought to account if:
-
Future assessable income is derived of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised; and
-
The conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation continue to be complied with and no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit.
Prior period tax losses are deductible to the Company if the Company continues to pass the requirements of either the continuity of ownership test or the same business test. It is probable that the Company has failed the continuity of ownership test and same business test during the previous financial year. Specifically the Company’s major shareholder disposed of its 56.67% interest in the Company on 25 September 2009 resulting in the probable breach of the continuity of ownership test. Further there was a change in the business of the Company as a result of the Company’s move away from the medical technology business conducted by it prior to November 2009. As a result, as at 31 March 2010 it is assumed that the requirements of the continuity of ownership test have been satisfied from 25 September 2009 onwards and therefore tax losses incurred prior to 25 September 2009 are no longer tax deductible to the Company. As at 31 March 2011 the Company has estimated carry forward tax losses of $229,629 (31 March 2010: $345,370).
| (d) Unrecognised temporary differences Net deferred tax assets (calculated at 30% (2010:30%)) have not been recognised in respect of the following items: Tax losses Prepayments Capital raising costs recognised directly in equity Unrecognised deferred tax assets/(liabilities) relating to the above temporary differences |

NOTE 6: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
(a) Details of operations disposed
In October 2008 Tango Petroleum (formerly BrainZ Instruments Limited) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Natus Medical (Natus) to sell substantially all of its assets. A special meeting of shareholders was held on 5 November 2008, approving the transaction. Under this agreement Natus took ownership of the assets and assumed the Company’s obligations under its then existing customer and supplier contracts. The Asset Purchase Agreement closed on 2 December 2008 with some transitional services being provided to Natus and the majority of the Company’s employees completing their notice periods around the end of January 2009. The final monies outstanding from Natus under the Asset Purchase Agreement were collected in May 2009.

NOTE 13: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICES
The Company has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:
-
Credit risk
-
Liquidity risk Market risk
This note presents the information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.
The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below.
The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short term deposits. The main purpose of the financial instruments is to earn the maximum amount of interest at a low risk to the Company. The Company also has other financial instruments such as trade debtors and creditors which arise directly from its operations. For the year ended 31 March 2011, it has been the Company’s policy not to trade in financial instruments.
(a) Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter-party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company only transacts with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade and above. This information is supplied by independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the Company uses publicly available financial information and its own trading record to rate its major customers. The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the risk management committee annually.
The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowance for losses, represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained.
Tango Petroleum Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2011
NOTE 13: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICES (continued)
(b) Liquidity risk management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, who have built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The company did not have any undrawn facilities at its disposal as at balance date.
(c) Interest rate risk management
The company is exposed to interest rate risk as the Company deposits the bulk of the Company’s cash reserves in Term Deposits with the NAB. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix between short term and medium-term Deposits. The Company’s exposures to interest rate on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.
(d) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or value of the holdings of financial instruments. The Company is exposed to movements in market interest rates on short term deposit, and foreign currency movements on the trade receivables. The policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to 120 days to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. The Company does not have short or long term debt, and therefore this risk is minimal. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by only investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have acceptable credit ratings.
NOTE 14: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees
Tango Petroleum Limited did not commit to nor make guarantees of any form as at 31 March 2011.
NOTE 15: DIVIDENDS
The directors of the company have not declared any dividend for the year ended 31 March 2011.
