$\mathbf{L}$ STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report covers the economic entity of Hamill Resources Limited (now International Goldfields Limited) and controlled entities and Hamill Resources Limited (now International Goldfields Limited) as an individual parent entity. Hamill Resources Limited (now International Goldfields Limited) is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs and does not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the economic entity in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

Principles of Consolidation $(a)$

A controlled entity is any entity controlled by Hamill Resources Limited (now International Goldfields Limited). Control exists where Hamill Resources Limited (now International Goldfields Limited) has the capacity to dominate the decision-making in relation to the financial and operating policies of another entity so that the other entity operates with Hamill Resources Limited (now International Goldfields Limited) to achieve the objectives of Hamill Resources Limited (now International Goldfields Limited). A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 12 of the financial statements.

All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the economic entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation.

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

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

$(b)$ Income tax

The economic entity adopts the liability method of tax-effect accounting whereby the income tax expense is based on the loss from ordinary activities adjusted for any permanent differences.

Timing differences which arise due to the different accounting periods in which items of revenue and expense are included in the determination of accounting profit and taxable income are brought to account as either a provision for deferred income tax or as a future income tax benefit at the rate of income tax applicable to the period in which the benefit will be received or the liability will become payable.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) 1.

Future income tax benefits are not brought to account unless realisation of the asset is assured beyond reasonable doubt. Future income tax benefits in relation to tax losses are not brought to account unless there is virtual certainty of realisation of the benefit.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure $(c)$

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are carried forward only if they relate to an area of interest for which rights of tenure are current and in respect of which:

  • such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and $(i)$ exploitation or from sale of the area; or
  • $(ii)$ exploration and evaluation activities in the area have not, at balance date, reached a stage which permit a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active operations in, or relating to, the area are continuing.

Accumulated costs in respect of areas of interest which are abandoned are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

$(d)$ Property Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation.

Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets' employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a diminishing value basis over their useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

$\mathbf{I}$ . STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

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

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate
Plant and equipment 40.0%
Office furniture and equipment 20.0%
Motor Vehicles 22.5%
Leasehold improvements Term of Lease

$(e)$ Leases

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to entities in the economic entity are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised, recording an asset and a liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Leased assets are depreciated on a diminishing value basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the economic entity will obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

$\theta$ Investments

Shares in listed companies held as current assets are valued by directors at those shares' market value at each balance date. The gains or losses, whether realised or unrealised, are included in profit from ordinary activities before income tax.

Non-current investments are measured on the cost basis. The carrying amount of noncurrent investments is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of these investments. The recoverable amount is assessed from the quoted market value for listed investments or the underlying net assets for other nonlisted investments.

The expected net cash flow from investments have not been discounted to their present value in determining the recoverable amounts.

Employee Benefits $\left( g\right)$

Provision is made for the economic entity's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising from wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave which will be settled after one year, have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs.

Contributions are made by the economic entity to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred.

$\mathbf{I}$ . STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

$(h)$ $\mathbf{C}$ ash

For the purpose of the Statements of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand and other funds held at call net of bank overdrafts.

$(i)$ Revenue

Sales revenue represents revenue earned from the sale of the economic entity's products and from its operating activities.

The gross proceeds of non-current asset sales are included as revenue at the date control of the asset passes to the buyer, usually when an unconditional contract of sale is signed. The gain or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal and the net proceeds on disposal.

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

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

$\theta$ Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows 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.

Potential future income tax benefits attributable to tax losses and exploration expenditure carried forward amounting to approximately \$1,100,000 (at 2003 corporate tax rate of 30%) have not been brought to account at 30 June 2003 because the directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the future income tax benefits as virtually certain. These benefits will only be obtained if:

  • the economic entity derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to $(a)$ enable the benefit from the deductions for the loss and exploration expenditure to be realised:
  • the economic entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and $(b)$
  • no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the economic entity in realising the benefit from the $(c)$ deductions for the loss and exploration expenditure.

- Exploration and evaluation phases 5,175,115 3.204,669 5,162,904 3,193,676

The value of the economic entity's interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon:

  • the continuance of the economic entity's rights to tenure of the areas of interest;
  • the results of future exploration; and $\bullet$
  • the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale.

The economic entity's exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under native title, or contain sacred sites, or sites of significance to Aboriginal people. As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration restrictions, mining restrictions and/or claims for compensation. At this time, it is not possible to quantify whether such claims exist, or the quantum of such claims.

$(b)$ Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the economic entity. The economic entity has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

The economic entity does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any provisions for losses, represents the economic entity's maximum exposure to credit risk.

Net Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities $(c)$

The net fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities approximates their carrying value.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The board of directors of Hamill Resources Limited (now International Goldfields Limited) is responsible for the corporate governance of the economic entity. The board guides and monitors the business and affairs of Hamill Resources Limited (now International Goldfields Limited) on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.

The board of directors considers that Hamill Resources Limited's structure and the scope of its activities does not iustify the establishment of committees such as an audit committee, preferring to manage the economic entity through the full board of directors. The board of directors comprises two executive directors and two non-executive directors as detailed in the Directors' Report. The board of directors comprises directors with an appropriate range of qualifications and expertise meeting regularly and following meeting guidelines set down to ensure all directors are made aware of and have available all necessary information to participate in an informed discussion of all agenda items.

As the board acts on behalf of the shareholders and is accountable to the shareholders the board seeks to identify the expectations of the shareholders as well as other regulatory and ethical expectations and obligations. In addition the board is responsible for identifying areas of significant business risk and ensuring arrangements are in place to adequately manage those risks.

The board of directors aims to ensure that the shareholders on behalf of whom they act are informed of all information necessary to assess the performance of the directors. Information is communicated to the shareholders through:

  • The annual report which is distributed to all shareholders:
  • The quarterly reports which are available on request to all shareholders; and
  • The annual general meeting and other shareholder meetings so called to obtain approval for board action as appropriate.

In order to ensure that the board continues to discharge its responsibilities in an appropriate manner the performance of all directors is continuously monitored.
