CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

==> picture [116 x 112] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [179 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

Dear Shareholders

The 2012-2013 fi nancial year has presented Cape Lambert Resources Limited (Cape Lambert or Company) with some challenges in the context of volatile global equity markets and a struggling junior mining sector.

Despite these challenges, we remain in a strong fi nancial position and continue to adopt our strategy of acquiring and investing in assets that are distressed or undervalued and adding value to these assets. Our objective is to monetise these assets at a multiple while retaining an interest in the disposed asset through a royalty and/or equity interest with a policy of distributing surplus cash to shareholders.

unaffected from the uncertainty in current global equity markets.

The Company had discussions with the ATO during the December 2012 quarter regarding the amended tax assessment which was issued to the Company in May 2012, and which the Company lodged an objection to in July 2012. Under an Arrangement for Payment, Cape Lambert has paid approximately $33.4 million to the ATO and will not be liable to pay any further amounts until the dispute is fi nally determined. We are pleased with this outcome and remain confi dent that the Company’s objections will be determined favourably, even though the fi nal outcome may take up to three years to resolve.

In January 2013, we commenced an on market share buy-back program to enable us to purchase up to 10% of the Company’s issued share capital over a 12 month period. The Board believes that the implementation of this on market share buy-back program has been successful and has offered a better return to Cape Lambert shareholders since the initiation of the program than it otherwise would if the proceeds had been used to invest outside of the Company. As at 26 September 2013, Cape Lambert had acquired a total of 12,916,850 shares equating to 1.91% of the Company’s issued share capital with the potential to purchase a remaining 55,894,029 shares by 17 December 2013.

Having acquired the Leichhardt Copper Project (Leichhardt or Project) for $7.75 million in August 2010, Cape Lambert completed the sale of the Project for a total consideration of $14.75 million in July 2013, with $5.6 million of environmental and cash bonds to be released in the near future. In addition, the Company agreed to provide transitional management services for approximately four months post completion of the transaction in return for a fee paid by the new owners of Leichhardt. The completion of this transaction boosted our cash reserves and ensured that we remain largely

In August 2013, Metallurgical Corporation of China Limited (MCC) was ordered by the arbitrator in Singapore Arbitration Proceedings to pay the disputed amount of $80 million into an escrow account in the joint names of Cape Lambert and MCC pending the determined outcome of the dispute. We believe that while a fi nal verdict of this dispute has yet to be determined, this is a signifi cant victory for Cape Lambert and our shareholders which may result in a resolution being completed in a more timely fashion.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you as a shareholder of Cape Lambert for your continued support over the past year and look forward to sharing in a successful 2013-2014 fi nancial year with you.

Yours faithfully,

Tony Sage Executive Chairman

Marampa Iron Ore Project

Location and Overview

The Marampa Iron Ore Project ( Marampa or Marampa Project ) is a brownfi elds hematite iron ore project at the development and permitting stage, and is located 90km northeast of Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa (Figure 1).

Marampa comprises two granted exploration licences (EL46A/2011 – 239.18km[2] and EL46B/2011 – 66.00km[2] (formerly EL46/2011 – 305.18km[2] )). The licences are held by Marampa Iron Ore (SL) Limited, indirectly a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Marampa Project is connected to a ship loading facility at Pepel Port via a recently refurbished and operational 73km railway.

  • » 2Mwtpa rights to access rail and port

  • » Environmental Licence approved

  • » Mining Licence in preparation

  • » Option agreement with AML to buy 2Mwtpa concentrate at mine gate for fi rst three years of production.

Rail and Port Agreement with African Minerals Limited

An infrastructure agreement (signed April 2012 as a Binding Heads of Agreement) with African Minerals Limited (AIM : AML) ( AML or African Minerals ) and its subsidiaries provides Marampa with access rights to export 2Mwtpa (wet - equivalent to 1.8Mtpa dry) of concentrate via the recently refurbished and currently operational Pepel rail and port infrastructure (refer ASX Announcement 16 April 2012). Additionally, AML have an option to purchase 2Mwtpa of Marampa concentrate at mine gate for the fi rst 3 years of production.

In December 2012, AML announced that it would no longer be building a port at Tagrin, but rather expanding its existing Pepel infrastructure. As a result of this, a revision to the long form infrastructure agreement was necessary. It is expected that the revised long form infrastructure agreement will be completed and executed by the relevant parties during Q4 2013.

Exploration

Exploration during the 2013 reporting year focussed on mapping and line clearing in areas expected to demonstrate supporting geological evidence at surface. A number of specularite schist fl oat occurrences were identifi ed and drilling proposals have been designed to test the alternate interpretation at depth. These proposals will form part of the exploration program once the project has been sold.

Mapping and line clearing was also initiated in the far north-east corner of the Marampa licence on the Robelor prospect to outline potential mineralisation along strike of the

Kumrabai prospect (Metals Exploration (SL) Limited). Float of specularite schist was identifi ed and follow up preliminary drilling has been planned.

Assays from some deep metallurgical diamond drilling conducted during Q4 2012 were received. A hole in the Gafal South area was drilled to 430m which ended in mineralisation demonstrating the continuance of grade beneath the base of the quoted resources. This highlights the potential to expand the current known resource with some targeted deep exploration drilling.

1 The estimates of Exploration Target sizes should not be misunderstood as estimates of Mineral Resources. The estimates of Exploration Target sizes are conceptual in nature and there has been insuffi cient results received from drilling to date to estimate a Mineral Resource in accordance with the JORC Code (2004). It is uncertain if future exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

6 CAPE LAMBERT ANNUAL REPORT 2013

Mineral Resource Estimate

An amendment to the existing resource estimate was conducted by Golder Associates to make adjustments refl ecting corrections made to licence beacon locations upon renewal of the London Mining licence (ML02/09). This amendment made no signifi cant change to the resource estimate.

The Marampa Mineral Resource estimate, based on the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Identifi ed Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code, 2004), totals 681 million tonnes with an in-situ grade of 28.2% Fe (15% Fe cut-off grade), with 38.5% of the resource classifi ed as Indicated. The Resource estimate comprises drilling at the Gafal West, Gafal South, Matukia, Mafuri and Rotret deposits, refer Figure 2.

Technical Work Completed

METALLURGY

Testwork on Marampa ores continued during the 2013 reporting year. The purpose was to provide additional data to support the engineering information previously generated and to investigate alternative process fl ows and magnetic separators in the Wet Hist Intensity Magnetic Separation (WHIMS) section of the plant. The use of more effi cient WHIMS units has led to a reduction in the number of cleaning stages and therefore a reduction in the total number of WHIMS units required to meet the target concentrate iron grade at acceptable mass and iron recovery.

To ensure that all of the ore types were magnetically similar in nature, each was tested under Locked Cycle Testwork using the same conditions as the 2012 work. The conclusion from this testwork was that most samples upgraded to > 65% Fe. An example Locked Cycle Test result is shown in Table 1.

Based on the 2013 testwork, a simplifi cation of the process fl owsheet was achieved which will result in lower project capital and operating costs while providing a safer processing plant to operate and maintain.

15MTPA SCOPING STUDY UPDATE

Due to AML’s announcement that it would no longer be building a port at Tagrin, the Company commenced an update of the 15Mtpa Scoping Study ( 15Mtpa Scoping Study Update ), to incorporate the use of a transhipping port that was investigated in a previous Scoping Study as well as the latest results from the 2013 metallurgical testwork.

This updated study was completed during the June quarter 2013 and was based on a 3 staged development, with Stage 1 mining and processing the softer oxide ores at a design rate of 2.5Mtpa of concentrate production. A Stage 2 expansion increases concentrate production to 10Mtpa within 18 months of commissioning Stage 1. A Stage 3 expansion increases the concentrate production to 15Mtpa within 12 months of Stage 2 commissioning, resulting in a 16 year mine life based on the current mineral resource inventory. The Stage 1 development will utilise AML’s Pepel Infrastructure to export 1.8Mtpa (dry) of concentrate, whilst the Stage 2 and Stage 3 developments assume that concentrate will be pumped to and exported from a Marampa owned transhipping port located at Tagrin point.

The Stage 1 capital investment was estimated at US$368M, whilst the Stage 2 expansion was estimated at an additional US$1,253M and Stage 3 at a further US$716M, for a total capital investment of US$2,337M. The average life of mine operating cost was estimated at US$53 per tonne of concentrate, free on board (FOB) Freetown.

The 15Mtpa Scoping Study Update base case (at $US100/t FOB concentrate sale price) returned robust fi nancial metrics including an ungeared (100% equity) after tax NPV10% of US$1.06 billion, an internal rate of return of 20.4% and after tax cash fl ows of US$4.47 billion.

Project Permitting

Divestment of Marampa Project

The Company continues to respond to interest from third parties with respect to the sale of the Marampa Project. A partial sale to investment groups with a view to joint venture the development of the Marampa Project through to production is also being considered.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL STUDIES

Marampa fi nalised and lodged its environmental and social impact assessment study with the Sierra Leone Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in October 2012. A consultation process was conducted during November 2012. The EPA granted and issued an Environmental Licence for the Marampa Project in May 2013.

Rokel Project

Metal Exploration (SL) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cape Lambert, holds a land package of 17 granted licences in Sierra Leone totalling approximately 2,900km[2] , covering the region 70km to the north and south of Marampa (Figure 3). This land package is referred to as the Rokel Iron Ore Project ( Rokel or Rokel Project ) and is prospective for the discovery of specularite schist deposits similar to those at the Marampa Project.

KUMRABAI PROSPECT

Mineralisation in the form of specularite schist was intersected in trenches over a 7km strike length. A report on work undertaken to date has been drafted and a drilling program for 38 Reverse Circulation holes has been prepared. This is designed to confi rm the depth penetration and grades of the mineralisation seen at surface and in trenches.

KARINA PROSPECT

Approximately 62 line km of mapping was undertaken with minor specularite schist fl oat observed.

BUMBE PROSPECT

Exploration activity consisted of mapping and pit excavation. A drilling program has been prepared to test depth penetration of encouraging samples taken from surface and near surface specularite schist intersections.

LANKONO PROSPECT

The Lankono Prospect is an eastern extension to the Mafuri deposit on the Marampa Licence (EL46A/2011). Mapping has identifi ed signifi cant outcrop and fl oat of specularite schist mineralisation in two discrete clusters and a total of 19 pits have been excavated to obtain samples and structural measurements from the intersections. Mapping and sampling will continue into 2014 ahead of planning an exploration strategy for the prospect.

MAWANKA PROSPECT

The Mawanka Prospect is a potential extension along strike to the Kumrabai prospect in the north. Preliminary reconnaissance exploration was undertaken toward the end of 2013 reporting period with encouraging evidence of specularite schist fl oat in the area. Follow up mapping and pitting will take place early in 2014 ahead of more dedicated exploration if deemed warranted.

Sandenia Project

The Sandenia Project ( Sandenia or Sandenia Project ) is located 290km east of Conakry in the central south of the Republic of Guinea and comprises one exploration permit covering 298km[2] (Figure 3). During the year the project area was reduced by half in accordance with Guinean statutory requirements (Figure 4). The Sandenia permit contains rocks of archean age that are prospective for iron mineralisation, which are similar to the host rocks that contain the 6.16Bt Kalia deposit owned by Bellzone Mining plc located on the adjacent permit to the north.

Mapping and trenching continued throughout the year with an additional 1,604m of trenches excavated. Banded Iron Formation (BIF) was intersected and sampled in the majority of trenches adding to the growing database for interpretation.

Cote D’Ivoire

Metals Exploration Cote D’Ivoire SA is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and was granted three tenements in the highly prospective Birimian Gold Belt of Cote D’Ivoire. The tenements are named Boundiali North (400km[2] ), Katiola (400km[2] ) and Bouake (400km[2] ) for a total land position of 1,200km[2] , refer (Figure 5).

FIGURE 5: COTE D’IVOIRE TENEMENT LOCATIONS

The tenements all contain, or are adjacent to, Birimian Greenstones and metasediments and have signifi cant structural characteristics known to host high tenor gold mineralisation in the district. The Birimian Group is broadly divided into phyllites, tuffs and greywackes of the Lower Birimian (Type 2 metasediments), and various basaltic to andesitic lavas and volcanoclastics of the Upper Birimian (Type 1 Greenstone metavolcanics). Spatial distribution of gold mineralisation appears to be governed by north to northeast trending belts of metavolcanic rocks, ranging from 15km to 40km in width, associated with the Upper Birimian.

of the metavolcanic belts, adjacent to the strongly deformed contacts between the Upper and Lower Birimian sequences as seen to exist within the recently granted tenements.

EXPLORATION

Preliminary site visits have been conducted by company geologists. Numerous signifi cant artisanal mining ventures by local people were observed on each of the tenements in both alluvial and in-situ environments. The Company is encouraged by this evidence of the presence of coarse free gold in the tenement areas.

The Birimain Gold Belt is host to numerous multi-million ounce gold deposits including the Morila (7Moz), Syama (7Moz) and Tongon (4Moz) deposits. Almost without exception, these major gold deposits are located at or close to the margins

The Company is targeting large primary in-situ gold occurrences and work has commenced on planning and budgeting for a fi rst pass exploration program.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 19

DIRECTORS’ REPORT REVIEW OF RESULTS AND OPERATIONS

REVIEW OF RESULTS AND OPERATIONS

Principal Activity

The principal activity of the Cape Lambert Group during the year was mineral investment, exploration and evaluation.

There were no signifi cant changes in the nature of the principal activity during the year.

Review of Operations

The year ended 30 June 2013 was a challenging year for the Cape Lambert Group and despite these challenges, the Consolidated Entity remains in a strong fi nancial position. A number of transactions completed during the year to build on and enhance its multi commodity and geographically diverse portfolio of mineral assets and investments.

A summary of the most signifi cant transactions is set out below:

  • » In July 2012, the Consolidated Entity converted the $2,000,000 and $1,500,000 convertible loans (plus $465,891 interest receivable) into 19,829,452 shares in Cauldron Energy Limited (ASX: CXU).

  • » The Company continued with legal action against MCC Australia Sanjin Pty Ltd and its parent company Metallurgical Corporation of China Limited to recover $80,000,000 owing from the sale of the Cape Lambert magnetite iron ore project in mid-2008. In August 2012, the Court made orders, inter alia, for the dispute to be determined by an arbitrator in Singapore and for the Company to propose (such proposals consented to by the MCC parties) that the dispute between the Company and MCC China (in respect to the payment of $80,000,000 into an escrow account pending determination of the primary dispute) be heard and determined by the arbitrator to the hearing of the disputes between the Company and MCC Sanjin.

In August 2013 the arbitrator issued a partial award requiring MCC China to pay the sum of $80,000,000 into an escrow account (to be opened in the joint names of the parties with a major trading bank within Australia) pending the determination of the substantive dispute. The Company announced to the market the details of the partial award on 9 August 2013.

The Company has referred the dispute to arbitration in Singapore which is expected to be heard in 2014.

==> picture [37 x 268] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [37 x 283] intentionally omitted <==

  • » In August 2012, the Company became a cornerstone investor in OGL Resources Limited by subscribing for convertible loan notes for $1,000,000.

  • » In May 2012, the Company received a notice of amended tax assessment and penalty notice (Amended Assessment) from the Australian Taxation Offi ce (ATO) which resulted from an audit by the ATO. The Company has lodged an objection to the Amended Assessment.

On 11 December 2012 the Company announced that following discussions with the ATO it had agreed to an arrangement for payment (Arrangement) of half the primary tax and shortfall interest charge in the Amended Assessment pending the outcome of the objection lodged by the Company. After this time, the rate of general interest charge accruing on the unpaid balance of disputed tax and shortfall interest charge will be reduced by half. Under the Arrangement, the ATO has confi rmed that no further amounts will be required to be paid by the Company until the fi nal determination of the dispute and no collection action will be taken by the ATO until this time.

As at 30 June 2013, the Company has paid the full amount of $33,395,426 under the Arrangement which is refl ected as prepaid tax in these accounts. The Company believes that it has a strong defence to the disputed matters and continues to vigorously defend this position whilst the objection is ongoing.

20 CAPE LAMBERT ANNUAL REPORT 2013

==> picture [59 x 655] intentionally omitted <==

  • » In December 2012, the Consolidated Entity exercised 1,060,000 Cauldron Energy Limited share options for $477,000.

  • » In December 2012, the Consolidated Entity exercised 5,450,000 share options in Global Strategic Metals NL ( Global ) for $381,500. The Company also advanced $400,000 to Global with interest being payable at 12.0%. In part consideration for the loan agreement, the Company has been issued with 3,200,000 share options in Global exercisable at $0.10 each on or before 31 January 2015.

  • » In December 2012, the Company agreed to provide a further loan facility of $1,000,000 to Fe Limited on similar terms to the existing loan facility. As at 30 June 2013, $790,000 had been drawn down from this facility.

  • » In January 2013, the Company commenced an on market buy-back of up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary shares. Shares bought back by the Company are subsequently cancelled. Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited has been appointed by the Company to act as broker to the on market share buy-back. During the year ended 30 June 2013, the Company bought back 9,416,850 Shares for a total consideration of $1,436,112. As at 25 September 2013, there are 55,894,029 Shares remaining that may be bought back under this facility.

  • » In May 2013, the Company announced that it had been granted its environmental licence for its fl agship Marampa iron ore project in Sierra Leone. Achieving the environmental licence milestone enables Marampa to apply for a mining licence during Q4 2013. The Company expects to fi nalise the revised long form rail and port infrastructure agreement with African Minerals Ltd during Q4 2013.

  • » On 28 June 2013, the Company announced that following completion of due diligence inquiries by the purchaser and receipt of a “no objection” letter for the acquisition pursuant to the Foreign Acquisition and Takeover Act 1975 (Cth), the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, Cape Lambert Leichhardt Pty Ltd, the holder of the Leichhardt Project became unconditional. The purchaser paid a $2,000,000 non-refundable deposit in April 2013 and a second $2,000,000 non-refundable deposit in June 2013. The Company received the balance of the consideration, being $10,750,000 and transitional funding associated with the Leichhardt Project from 1 May 2013 until completion, on 8 July 2013. Additionally, the Company will have $5.6m of environmental and cash bonds released in the near future.

The board intends to continue to follow its strategy of acquiring and investing in undervalued mineral assets and companies, and adding value to these assets through a hands on approach to management, exploration and evaluation to enable the assets to be monetised at a multiple. As assets are monetised, the board intends to follow a policy of distributing surplus cash to Shareholders.

Results

The Cape Lambert Group made a loss after income tax for the year ended 30 June 2013 of $143,911,775 (2012: profi t of $22,723,709). The loss for the year includes impairment losses in respect of capitalised exploration and evaluation to the extent of $107,523,191. The impairment is predominantly a consequence of the accounting values attributed to exploration assets acquired between 2009 and 2011 in Sierra Leone and Guinea and where the Directors have assessed that the carrying amount of these exploration and evaluation assets are unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 21

Remuneration Report Approval

At the 2012 Annual General Meeting, the Company received a fi rst strike in relation to its 2012 remuneration report. The Board has considered the reasons for this result and sought feedback from shareholders and stakeholders in relation to the remuneration report.

Subsequent to the 2012 Annual General Meeting, the Company has reduced staff numbers and total remuneration and no bonuses or incentives were paid by the Company to employees or directors in the 2013 fi nancial year.

The remuneration committee took into consideration the reasons underlying the fi rst strike in its negotiations of a new executive services contract with Executive Chairman, Tony Sage. Pursuant to the terms of that contract, Mr Sage is not entitled to any set long or short term bonus or incentive. For the avoidance of doubt , there is no fi xed formula under which any incentives or bonuses are payable by the Company to Mr Sage. During the term of the contract, the remuneration committee may consider incentive plans and bonus structures that will be focussed on the Executive Chairman achieving performance hurdles based on a material increase in net market capitalisation of the Company and returns to shareholders of the Company, such as dividends and may take into consideration external advice received from an independent remuneration consultant. Any bonus or incentive structure set by the remuneration committee during the term of the contract will be directly related to benefi ts to the shareholders of the Company and will not be payable based merely on Mr Sage’s time, efforts or his achievement of non-fi nancial targets.

The Company will continue to seek feedback from shareholders on the remuneration report and monitor releases with respect to best-practice remuneration processes.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The remuneration policy of the Company has been designed to align director objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fi xed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual basis in line with market rates. The Board of the Company believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain appropriately skilled directors to run and manage the Company.

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and other key management personnel is as follows:

All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience).

The Cape Lambert Group is an exploration entity, and therefore speculative in terms of performance. Consistent with attracting and retaining talented individuals, directors and senior executives are paid market rates associated with individuals in similar positions within the same industry.

Options and performance incentives may also be issued as the Cape Lambert Group invests in projects which are subsequently successfully monetised, and key performance indicators such as profi ts and growth can then be used as measurements for assessing Board performance.

All remuneration paid to directors is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Shares awarded to directors and executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Board’s policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The fees paid to non executive directors has not increased since their respective engagements. The Executive Chairman determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. To align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.

Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Directors’ and Executives’ Remuneration

The remuneration policy aims to increase goal congruence between shareholders and directors via the issue of options to directors to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. During the fi nancial year, the Company’s share price traded between a low of $0.10 and a high of $0.34. The price volatility is a concern to the Board but is not considered abnormal for medium sized exploration entities and in the context of volatile global equity markets. In order to keep all investors fully informed and minimise market fl uctuations, the Board is determined to maintain promotional activity amongst the investment community so as to increase awareness of the Company and to stabilise the Company’s share price in line with a consistent and stable fi nancial position and base value of assets.

Financial
Statements
AASB 10 establishes a new control model that applies to
all entities. It replaces parts of AASB 127_Consolidated and_

-Special Purpose Entities.
The new control model broadens the situations when an entity
is considered to be controlled by another entity and includes
new guidance for applying the model to specif c situations,
including when acting as a manager may give control, the
impact of potential voting rights and when holding less than a
majority voting rights may give control.
Consequential amendments were also made to this and
other standards via AASB 2011-7 and AASB 2012-10.

AASB 11 Joint
Arrangements
AASB 11 replaces AASB 131_Interests in Joint Ventures_
and UIG-113_Jointly- controlled Entities - Non-monetary_
Contributions by Ventures.
AASB 11 uses the principle of control in AASB 10 to def ne
joint control, and therefore the determination of whether
joint control exists may change. In addition it removes the
option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using
proportionate consolidation. Instead, accounting for a joint
arrangement is dependent on the nature of the rights and
obligations arising from the arrangement. Joint operations
that give the venturers a right to the underlying assets and
obligations themselves is accounted for by recognising the
share of those assets and obligations. Joint ventures that give
the venturers a right to the net assets is accounted for using
the equity method.
Consequential amendments were also made to this and
other standards via AASB 2011-7, AASB 2010-10 and
amendments to AASB 128.

AASB 12 Disclosure of
Interests in Other
Entities
AASB 12 includes all disclosures relating to an entity’s
interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and
structured entities. New disclosures have been introduced
about the judgments made by management to determine
whether control exists, and to require summarised information
about joint arrangements, associates, structured entities and
subsidiaries with non-controllinginterests.
1 January

1 July 2013
AASB 13 Fair Value
Measurement
AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for
determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13
does not change when an entity is required to use fair value,
but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value
when fair value is required or permitted. Application of this
def nition may result in different fair values being determined
for the relevant assets.
AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for
all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes
information about the assumptions made and the qualitative
impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined.
Consequential amendments were also made to other
standards via AASB 2011-8.

1 July 2013
AASB 119 Employee Benef ts The revised standard changes the def nition of short-term
employee benef ts. The distinction between short-term and

the benef ts are expected to be settled wholly within 12
months after the reporting date.
Consequential amendments were also made to other
standards via AASB 2011-10.

AASB 1053 Application of
Tiers of Australian
Accounting
Standards
This standard establishes a differential f nancial reporting
framework consisting of two tiers of reporting requirements for
preparing general purpose f nancial statements:
(a)
Tier 1: Australian Accounting Standards
(b)
Tier 2: Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced
Disclosure Requirements
Tier 2 comprises the recognition, measurement and
presentation requirements of Tier 1 and substantially reduced
disclosures corresponding to those requirements.
The following entities apply Tier 1 requirements in preparing
general purpose f nancial statements:
(a)
For-prof t entities in the private sector that have public
accountability (as def ned in this standard)
(b)
The Australian Government and State, Territory and
Local governments
The following entities apply either Tier 2 or Tier 1 requirements
in preparing general purpose f nancial statements:
(a)
For-prof t private sector entities that do not have public
accountability
(b)
All not-for-prof t private sector entities
(c)
Public sector entities other than the Australian
Government and State, Territory and Local
governments.
Consequential amendments to other standards to
implement the regime were introduced by AASB 2010-2,
2011-2, 2011-6, 2011-11, 2012-1, 2012-7 and 2012-11.

AASB 9 Financial
Instruments
AASB 9 includes requirements for the classif cation and
measurement of f nancial assets. It wasfurther amended
by AASB 2010-7to ref ect amendments to the accounting
for f nancial liabilities.
These requirements improve and simplify the approach for
classif cation and measurement of f nancial assets compared
with the requirements of AASB 139. The main changes are
described below.
(a)
Financial assets that are debt instruments will be
classif ed based on (1) the objective of the entity’s
business model for managing the f nancial assets; (2) the
characteristics of the contractual cash f ows.
(b)
Allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition
to present gains and losses on investments in equity
instruments that are not held for trading in other
comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these
investments that are a return on investment can be
recognised in prof t or loss and there is no impairment or
recycling on disposal of the instrument.
(c)
Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair
value through prof t or loss at initial recognition if doing
so eliminates or signif cantly reduces a measurement
or recognition inconsistency that would arise from
measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains
and losses on them, on different bases.
(d)
Where the fair value option is used for f nancial liabilities
the change in fair value is to be accounted for as follows:
The change attributable to changes in credit risk are
presented in other comprehensive income (OCI)
The remaining change is presented in prof t or loss
If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch
in the prof t or loss, the effect of the changes in credit risk are
also presented in prof t or loss.
Further amendments were made by AASB 2012-6which
amends the mandatory effective date to annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. AASB
2012-6 also modif es the relief from restating prior periods
by amending AASB 7 to require additional disclosures on
transition to AASB 9 in some circumstances.
Consequential amendments were also made to other
standards as a result of AASB 9, introduced by AASB
2009-11 and superseded by AASB 2010-7 and 2010-10.

The consolidated fi nancial statements comprise the fi nancial statements of Cape Lambert Resources Limited ( Cape Lambert ) and its subsidiaries (as outlined in note 22) as at and for the period ended 30 June each year. Interests in associates are equity accounted and are not part of the Consolidated Entity.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which Cape Lambert has the power to govern the fi nancial and operating policies so as to obtain benefi ts from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether Cape Lambert controls another entity.

The fi nancial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. In preparing the consolidated fi nancial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profi ts and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full.

Investments in subsidiaries held by Cape Lambert are accounted for at cost in the separate fi nancial statements of the parent less any impairment charges.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting involves recognising at acquisition, separately from goodwill, the identifi able assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The identifi able assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any difference between the fair value of the consideration and the fair values of the identifi able net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control is accounted for as an equity transaction.

Non-controlling interests are allocated their share of net profi t after tax in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income and are presented with equity in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent.

If Cape Lambert loses control over a subsidiary, it:

  • » Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;

  • » Derecognises the carrying value of any non-controlling interest;

  • » Derecognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;

  • » Recognises the fair value of the consideration received;

  • » Recognises the fair value of any investment retained;

  • » Recognises any surplus or defi cit in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income;

  • » Reclassifi es the parent’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income to profi t or loss.

If ownership interest in an associate is reduced but signifi cant infl uence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassifi ed to profi t or loss where appropriate.

(c) Associates

Associates are entities over which the Consolidated Entity has signifi cant infl uence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The Consolidated Entity’s investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identifi ed on acquisition.

The Consolidated Entity’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profi ts or losses is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in statement of comprehensive income and reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

When the Consolidated Entity’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Consolidated Entity does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Consolidated Entity and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Consolidated Entity’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of fi nancial position. Restricted cash relates to term deposits held with various fi nancial institutions as security for bank guarantees.

(e) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or fi nancial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash fl ows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash fl ows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in profi t or loss. 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 profi t or loss.

2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(f) Property, Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. In the event that settlement of all or part of the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is determined by discounting the amounts payable in the future to their present value as at the date of acquisition.

Depreciation is provided on plant and equipment. Depreciation is calculated on a straight linebasis so as to write off the net cost or other revalued amount of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period.

The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:

Off ce equipment 3 years
Plant and equipment 3 years
Motor vehicles 3 years
Furniture and f ttings 5 years
Leasehold improvements over the period of the lease

(g) Financial Assets

Investments are recognised and derecognised on trade date where purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.

Other fi nancial assets are classifi ed into the following specifi ed categories: fi nancial assets ‘at fair value through profi t or loss’, ‘held-to-maturity’ investments, ‘available-for-sale’ fi nancial assets, and ‘loans and receivables’. The classifi cation depends on the nature and purpose of the fi nancial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. The Consolidated Entity has the following fi nancial assets:

a. Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profi t or Loss

Certain shares and options held for trading have been classifi ed as fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss. Financial assets held for trading purposes are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in profi t or loss. The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised fi nancial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the reporting date. Assets in this category are classifi ed as current assets if they are expected to be realised within 12 months otherwise they are classifi ed as non-current assets.

  • (G) FINANCIAL ASSETS (CONTINUED)

b. Loans and Receivables

Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables are non-derivative fi nancial assets with fi xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are recorded at amortised cost less impairment. Impairment is determined by review of the nature and recoverability of the loan or receivable with reference to its terms of repayments and capacity of the debtor entity to repay the debt. If the recoverable amount of a receivable is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of receivable is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profi t or loss immediately. They are included in current assets, other than those with maturities greater than 12 months from reporting date which are classifi ed as non-current assets.

c. Available for sale fi nancial assets

Available for sale fi nancial assets are those non-derivative fi nancial assets, principally equity securities, that are designated as available for sale or are not classifi ed as ‘at fair value through profi t or loss’, ‘held-to-maturity’ investments or ‘loans and receivables’. Available for sale fi nancial assets are measured at fair value, or cost where fair value’s unable to be reliably measured until the investment is disposed of or determined to be impaired, at which time the gain or loss on disposal or the impairment is recognised in the profi t or loss. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months.

In the case of equity securities classifi ed as available-for-sale, a signifi cant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale fi nancial assets, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that fi nancial asset previously recognised in profi t or loss - is reclassifi ed from equity and recognised in profi t or loss as a reclassifi cation adjustment. Impairment losses recognised in profi t or loss on equity instruments classifi ed as available-for-sale are not reversed through profi t or loss.

(h) Financial Instruments Issued by the Consolidated Entity

==> picture [37 x 191] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [37 x 103] intentionally omitted <==

Debt and equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments are classifi ed as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.

Transaction costs on the issue of equity instruments

Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.

Interest and dividends

Interest and dividends are classifi ed as expenses or as distributions of profi t consistent with the statement of fi nancial position classifi cation of the related debt or equity instruments or component parts of compound instruments.

2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(i) Foreign Currency

Foreign currency transactions and balances

All foreign currency transactions occurring during the fi nancial year are recognised at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items at reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.

Exchange differences are recognised in the profi t or loss in the period in which they arise except those exchange differences which relate to assets under construction for future productive use which are included in the cost of those assets where they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on foreign currency borrowings.

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the fi nancial statements of each of the companies within the Consolidated Entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (the functional currency). The consolidated fi nancial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Cape Lambert’s functional and presentation currency.

Group companies

The results and fi nancial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinfl ationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • a. assets and liabilities for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that Statement of Financial Position;

  • b. income and expenses for each statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and

  • c. all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold, a proportionate share of such exchange differences is reclassifi ed to profi t or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entities and translated at the closing rate.

(j) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the end of fi nancial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(k) Employee Benefi ts

Provision is made for benefi ts accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.

Provisions made in respect of employee benefi ts due to be settled within 12 months are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

Provisions made in respect of employee benefi ts which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outfl ows to be made by the Consolidated Entity in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefi ts and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Refer also to note 2(q) for accounting policy regarding share based payments.

(l) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Consolidated Entity has a present obligation, the future sacrifi ce of economic benefi ts is probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cashfl ows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cashfl ows.

When some or all of the economic benefi ts required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that recovery will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation.

2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(m) Impairment of assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefi nite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested 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. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifi able cash infl ows which are largely independent of the cash infl ows from other assets or groups of assets (cashgenerating units). Non-fi nancial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

(n) Income Tax

Current Tax

Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profi t or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the fi nancial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items.

In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that suffi cient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profi t. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures except where the Consolidated Entity is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with these investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be suffi cient taxable profi ts against which to utilise the benefi ts of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets refl ects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Consolidated Entity expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company/Consolidated Entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. The Consolidated Entity has implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated fi nancial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

  • (N) INCOME TAX (CONTINUED)

Current and deferred tax for the period

Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity.

(o) Revenue recognition

Interest Revenue

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the fi nancial asset.

(p) Share-based Payments

Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. Fair value is measured by use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability and exercise restrictions.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Consolidated Entity’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest.

For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability equal to the portion of the goods or services received is recognised at the current fair value determined at each reporting date.

(q) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifi able area of interest where right of tenure is current. Costs associated with these identifi able areas of interests are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

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.

2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(r) Segment Reporting

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision makers to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance and for which discrete fi nancial information is available. This includes start up operations which are yet to earn revenues.

Operating segments have been identifi ed based on the information presented to the chief operating decision makers – being the executive management team.

Information about other business activities and operating segments that do not meet the quantitative criteria set out in AASB 8 “Operating Segments” are combined and disclosed in a separate category called “other”.

(s) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profi t attributable to equity holders of the Consolidated Entity, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the fi nancial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the fi gures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interests and other fi nancing 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.

(t) Business Combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity issued by the acquirer, and the amount of any non controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifi able net assets. Costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at fair value as at the acquisition date through profi t or loss.

Identifi able assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non controlling shareholders’ interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Consolidated Entity’s share of the identifi able net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the Consolidated Entity’s share of the fair value of the identifi able net assets acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income, but only after a reassessment of the identifi cation and measurement of the net assets acquired.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquiree is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised in accordance with AASB 139 either in profi t or loss or in other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classifi ed as equity, it shall not be remeasured.

2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(u) Leases

Leases in which a signifi cant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Consolidated Entity as lessee are classifi ed as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

(v) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classifi ed 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.

(w) Parent entity fi nancial information

The fi nancial information for the parent entity, Cape Lambert Resources Limited, disclosed in note 28 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated fi nancial statements, except as set out below:

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities are accounted for at cost in the fi nancial statements of Cape Lambert Resources Limited. Dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income, rather than being deducted from the carrying amount of these investments.

Tax consolidation legislation

Cape Lambert Resources Limited and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand-alone taxpayer in its own right.

==> picture [37 x 191] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [37 x 206] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [37 x 103] intentionally omitted <==

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Cape Lambert Resources Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.

The entities have entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate Cape Lambert Resources Limited for any current tax payables assumed and are compensated by Cape Lambert Resources Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Cape Lambert Resources Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly-owned entities’ fi nancial statements.

The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each fi nancial year. The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligation to pay tax instalments.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as current amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the group.

Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.

(x) Comparative Figures

Certain comparative fi gures have been reclassifi ed to conform to the current year’s presentation.

(y) Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the fi nancial year but not distributed as balance date.

(z) Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classifi ed as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefi ts, fi nancial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifi cally exempt from this requirement.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less cost to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less cost to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition.

Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classifi ed as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classifi ed as held for sale continue to be recognised.

Non-current assets classifi ed as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classifi ed as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classifi ed as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.

(aa) Critical Judgements in Applying the Consolidated Entity’s Accounting Policies

The Consolidated Entity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by defi nition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a signifi cant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fi nancial year are discussed below.

Exploration and Evaluation

The Consolidated Entity’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation is set out at note 1(q). The application of this policy necessarily requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular, the assessment of whether economic quantities of reserves may be determined. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised expenditure, it is determined that recovery of the expenditure by future exploitation or sale is unlikely, then the relevant capitalised amount is written off in the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income.

As at 30 June 2013, management have recognised impairment losses in respect of capitalised exploration and evaluation to the extent of $107,523,191 (30 June 2012: $317,194).

(aa) CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING THE CONSOLIDATED ENTITY’S ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Income taxes

The Consolidated Entity is subject to income taxes in Australia and jurisdictions where it has foreign operations.

Signifi cant judgement is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Consolidated Entity estimates its tax liabilities based on the Consolidated Entity’s understanding of the tax laws in the relevant jurisdictions. Where the fi nal tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.

The Consolidated Entity has recognised deferred tax assets relating to carried forward tax losses to the extent there are suffi cient taxable temporary differences (deferred tax liabilities) relating to the same taxation authority against which the unused tax losses can be utilised. However, utilisation of the tax losses also depends on the ability of the entity to satisfy certain tests at the time the losses are recouped.

Impairment

The Consolidated Entity assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specifi c to the Consolidated Entity that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amounts of the assets are determined.

As at 30 June 2013, management have recognised impairment losses in respect of those assets which had a carrying value which exceeded their recoverable amounts.

Contingent assets and liabilities

==> picture [37 x 191] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [37 x 206] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [37 x 103] intentionally omitted <==

The Company has a number of signifi cant contingent assets and liabilities as disclosed in note 20. Any changes in the estimates and assumptions underlying these contingencies could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

5. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

Share-based payments granted during the current year

During the current year 11,710,000 share options were issued to directors and key management personnel, employees and consultants to the Company. The share options were issued for no consideration as part of their remuneration package. The share options issued were approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders on 23 November 2012. The fair value at grant date is determined using a 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. Any share options which have not vested as at the date the holder ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company, shall automatically lapse unless otherwise determined by the Board.

Vesting conditions:

  • (a) The Options will vest if the Company successfully divests (wholly or partially) its interest in the Marampa Project, whether by joint venture, sale or initial public offering.

  • (b) If there is a Change of Control Event prior to the Expiry Date, the Options shall automatically vest. “Change of Control Event” means the occurrence of:

  • i. The offeror under a takeover offer in respect of all the shares in the Company announces that it has achieved acceptances in respect of 50.1% or more of the Shares; and

  • ii. That the takeover bid becomes unconditional; or

  • iii. The announcement by the Company that shareholders of the Company have at a court convened meeting of shareholders voted in favour, by necessary majority, of a proposed scheme of arrangement under which all Shares are to be either:

    1. Cancelled; or

    2. Transferred to a third party; and

    3. The court, by order, approved the proposed scheme of arrangement.

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted to Directors, key management personnel, employees and consultants during the year ended 30 June 2013 was $0.047 per option. The model inputs for options granted during the year ended 30 June 2013 included:

  • (a) options were issued for no consideration

  • (b) exercise price: $0.29 (118% of the market price of the Shares at the time of the allotment (being the 5 day volume weighted average Share price (VWAP) up to and including the date of grant)

  • (c) grant date: 23 November 2012

  • (d) expiry date: 22 November 2013

  • (e) share price at grant date: $0.25

  • (f) expected price volatility of the Company’s shares (based on the historic volatility based on the year pre-grant date) : 59%

  • (g) expected dividend yield: 0.0%

  • (h) risk-free interest rate: 3.25%

Certain of Cape Lambert’s exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under native title, or contain sacred sites, or sites of signifi cance to Indigenous 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.

(a) Exploration and evaluation expenditure capitalised during the year

==> picture [37 x 191] intentionally omitted <==

Payments for exploration and evaluation per the statement of cash fl ows of $20,316,290 includes exploration capitalised on assets classifi ed as non-current asset held for sale of $11,368,890. Refer to note 29 for further details.

(b) Exploration assets sold

On 16 December 2011, the Company completed the sale of the Sappes Gold Project (Sappes) to ASX listed Glory Resources Limited (ASX: GLY).

(c) Impairment

During the year ended 30 June 2013, Cape Lambert recognised impairment losses in respect of capitalised exploration and evaluation to the extent of $107,165,456 (30 June 2012: $317,194). Exploration assets reclassifi ed as non-current assets held for sale have recognised an impairment loss of $357,735 during the year ended 30 June 2013 (30 June 2012: nil). The impairment is predominantly a consequence of the accounting values attributed to exploration assets acquired between 2009 and 2011 in Sierra Leone and Guinea and where the Directors have assessed that the carrying amount of these exploration and evaluation assets are unlikely to be recovered in ful from successful development or by sale. The recoverable amounts of these areas of interest were determined by management using a valuation model taking into account project data and current economic conditions.

(d) Held for sale

Exploration expenditure relating to the Marampa Project and the Leichhardt Project was reclassifi ed as noncurrent assets held for sale. Refer to note 29 for further details.

Capital Risk Management

The Group’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefi ts for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Consistent with others in the industry, the Cape Lambert Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including “borrowings” and “trade and other payables” as shown in the statement of fi nancial position) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as “equity” as shown in the statement of fi nancial position plus net debt.

1 Contingent asset and liability in relation to the sale of Cape Lambert Project

During the year ended 30 June 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with an Australian company MCC Mining (Western Australia) Pty Ltd (MCC WA) for the sale of the Cape Lambert tenements and related assets (Project, and Sale Agreement). MCC WA was a wholly owned subsidiary of Chinese state owned enterprise Metallurgical Corporation of China (MCC China). MCC WA later novated its rights and obligations under the Sale Agreement to another Australian subsidiary of MCC China, MCC Australia Sanjin Mining Pty Ltd, (MCC Sanjin). In December 2008 the Company entered into a Parent Company Guarantee Agreement (Guarantee) under which MCC China agreed to indemnify the Company for any loss or damage caused by reason of MCC WA or MCC Sanjin’s breach or nonperformance.

The total cash consideration payable under the Sale Agreement was $400,000,000. In February 2008 a $10,000,000 cash deposit (of which $5,000,000 was non-refundable to secure exclusive due diligence rights for the acquisition of the Project) was paid to the Company. The balance was, to be paid in three tranches, namely:

  • 1 $230,000,000 at settlement date (6 August 2008);

  • 2 $80,000,000 within 45 days of the settlement date (received on 15 September 2008); and

  • 3 $80,000,000 within 7 days of satisfaction of certain mining approval conditions in respect of the Project or if MCC has not used its reasonable endeavours to procure the mining approvals within two years (Third Tranche) (collectively, the Purchase Price).

The deposit and fi rst two payments of the Purchase Price have been received by the Company. The Third Tranche payment of the Purchase Price, being $80,000,000, remains unpaid.

The Company is presently engaged in an international arbitration against MCC WA, MCC Sanjin and MCC China (as guarantor) for payment of the Third Tranche.

The Sale Agreement required the buyer of the Project (initially MCC WA, and after novation, MCC Sanjin) to act in good faith and to use all reasonable endeavours to do all things reasonably requested by the Company to assist it with obtaining the satisfaction of the mining approvals conditions within 2 years of the Sale Agreement, namely on or before 11 June 2010. The mining approval conditions were not satisfi ed by this date.

In September 2010, the Company commenced legal action at the Supreme Court of Western Australia ( Court ) to recover the third tranche payment ($80,000,000), against all three MCC entities. MCC applied for a stay of the proceedings on the grounds that the relevant agreements contained mandatory dispute resolution procedures. The Company sought orders that the stay be granted on condition that $80,000,000 be paid into an escrow account, in reliance on a clause in the Guarantee requiring payment into escrow in the event of a dispute between the parties. In August 2012 the Court granted the stay on the condition that MCC China consent to orders that the Arbitrator hear the escrow dispute.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

20. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

In September 2012 the arbitral proceedings commenced. Those proceedings are on-going and are being conducted out of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre. On 7 August 2013 the Arbitrator issued a Partial Award requiring MCC China to pay the sum of $80,000,000 into an escrow account (to be opened in the joint names of the parties with a major trading bank within Australia) within 21 business days of the date of the order pending the determination of the substantive dispute. The Company announced to the market the following morning the details of the Partial Award.

As at 30 June 2013, the payment of $80,000,000 had not been received by the Company and the payment of $80,000,000 has not been paid into the escrow account. Given the uncertainty surrounding the receipt of this payment, the Company has not recognised the payment owing as a receivable.

If payment is received, the Company will be liable to pay an additional commission fee of $7,600,000 to an unrelated party.

² Contingent liability for income tax including interest and penalties in relation to an amended tax assessment

The Company was subject to an audit from the Australian Taxation Offi ce ( ATO ) on its income tax return for the 2009 year. Following the conclusion of this audit, in May 2012 a notice of assessment was received for additional income taxes payable together with interest and associated penalties ( Amended Assessment ). The Amended Assessment totalled $95,787,254 which comprised $57,642,715 of additional income taxes payable with respect to the 2009 income tax year, $28,821,357 in penalties and $9,323,182 in interest charges.

The Amended Assessment relates to a number of issues which the Company disputes. The additional income taxes payable that have been assessed by the ATO primarily relate to the following key matters:

  • 1 the ATO have assessed that income tax should have been paid in 2009 on the fair value of the contingent receivable due from MCC (refer Note 20(1)) and have determined a fair value of $56,300,000 (tax effect of $16,890,000) for this purpose;

==> picture [37 x 191] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [37 x 206] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [37 x 103] intentionally omitted <==

  • 2 the ATO have assessed that deductions claimed for exploration arising from the acquisition of the Lady Annie and Lady Loretta projects in the 2009 year of $137,526,510 (tax effect of $41,257,953) were not immediately deductible against 2009 taxable income. These deductions would then be realised in subsequent years when these projects were sold; and

  • 3 following the adjustments made in (a) and (b) above, the ATO have also assessed other adjustments that give rise to an increase in carried forward tax losses amounting to $1,684,128 (tax effect of ($505,238)).

On 11 December 2012 the Company announced that following discussions with the ATO it had agreed to an Arrangement for Payment ( Arrangement ) of half the primary tax and shortfall interest charge assessed pending the outcome of the objection lodged by the Company. After this time, the rate of general interest charge accruing on the unpaid balance of disputed tax and shortfall interest charge will be reduced by half. Under the Arrangement, the ATO has confi rmed that no further amounts will be required to be paid by the Company until the fi nal determination of the dispute and no collection action will be taken by the ATO until this time.

As at 30 June 2013, the Company has paid the full amount of $33,395,426 under the Arrangement which is refl ected as prepaid tax in these accounts. The Company believes that it has a strong defence to the disputed matters and continues to vigorously defend this position whilst the objection is ongoing.

80 CAPE LAMBERT ANNUAL REPORT 2013

==> picture [59 x 497] intentionally omitted <==

20. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

If the Company was unsuccessful in its dispute on the Amended Assessment, the Company would have a cash outfl ow of $73,615,924 to the ATO together with any costs incurred in defending its position plus additional interest that may accrue to the point of resolution. As at 30 June 2013 the Amended Assessment plus interest accrued at the full general interest rate to 30 June 2013 is $107,115,344. All interest, penalties and costs of defending its position contained in the Amended Assessment would be expensed to the profi t and loss and the $137,526,510 of deductions claimed in the 2009 year would be carried forward as deductions against taxable income declared in years subsequent to the 2009 year and/or available as carried forward tax losses that could be recognised as an asset in the fi nancial statements to the extent that it was probable that future taxable income would be available to utilise them.

3 Contingent asset in relation to the sale of the Sappes Gold Project

During the year ended 30 June 2012, the Company disposed of 100% of its interest in the Sappes Project to Glory Resources Limited, an Australian listed Company, for a consideration of $46.5 million. The purchase consideration includes two contingent payments of $5.0 million each, which are payable once certain operating permits and production related milestones are achieved. As at 30 June 2013, the Company has not recognised either amount as a receivable.

4 Contingent asset for future royalties payable from the Mayoko Iron Ore Project

In March 2012, Johannesburg Stock Exchange listed Exxaro Resources Limited completed a takeover offer for all of the shares and listed options in African Iron Limited, a company in which the Company held 126,700,000 shares, delivering $72.2 million in cash to the Company. African Iron Limited owns the Mayoko Iron Ore Project which is located in the Republic of Congo ( Mayoko Project ). As part of the takeover transaction, the Company retains a production royalty of US$1.00 (indexed annually to the CPI) per tonne of iron ore shipped from the Mayoko Project ( Mayoko Royalty ).

On 14 March 2013, the Company announced the appointment of Deutsche Bank AG to sell the Mayoko Royalty. Based on the assumption the Mayoko Project will produce 2mtpa in 2015-16 and then 10mtpa from 2017 onwards with a mine life of 30 years, the Company has an NPV value on the Mayoko Royalty of A$55m-A$114m.

As at 30 June 2013, the Company has not recognised any amount for the Mayoko Royalty as a receivable.

21. DISPOSAL OF CONTROLLED ENTITY

On 28 June 2013, the Company announced that following completion of due diligence inquiries by the purchaser and receipt of a “no objection” letter for the acquisition pursuant to the Foreign Acquisition and Takeover Act 1975 (Cth), the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, Cape Lambert Leichhardt Pty Ltd, the holder of the Leichhardt Copper Project became unconditional. The purchaser paid a $2,000,000 non-refundable deposit in April 2013 and a second $2,000,000 non-refundable deposit in June 2013. The Company received the balance of the consideration, being $10,750,000 and transitional funding associated with the Leichhardt Project from 1 May 2013 until completion on 8 July 2013. Additionally, the Company will have a $5.6m of environmental and cash bonds returned to it in the near future.

23. SEGMENT INFORMATION

AASB 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identifi ed on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete fi nancial information is available. In the case of the Cape Lambert Group the CODM are the executive management team and all information reported to the CODM is based on the consolidated results of the Consolidated Entity as one operating segment, as the Cape Lambert Group’s activities relate to mineral exploration.

Accordingly, the Cape Lambert Group has only one reportable segment and the results are the same as the Cape Lambert Group results.

27. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Cape Lambert Group is exposed to a variety of fi nancial risks including market risk (currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Cape Lambert Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of fi nancial markets and seeks to meet its fi nancial targets whilst minimising potential adverse effects on fi nancial performance. The Cape Lambert Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks and aging analysis for credit risk. Risk management is carried out by the Board.

The Cape Lambert Group holds the following fi nancial instruments:

(a) Market Risk

(i) Foreign Currency Risk

The Cape Lambert Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from commercial transactions. The Consolidated Entity converted assets and liabilities into the functional currency where balances were denominated in a currency other than the Australian dollars.

The Consolidated Entity also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from sales or purchases by an operating entity in currencies other than the functional currency.

As at 30 June 2013, the Consolidated Entity had the following exposure to foreign currency:

30 June 2013 30 June 2012
Financial assets:
Cash and cash equivalents - USD $190,219 $2,658,334
Cash and cash equivalents - GBP £6,760 £7,451

Cash and cash equivalents - CFA CFA9,488,380 -
Cash and cash equivalents - SLL SLL207,780,146 -
Cash and cash equivalents - GNF GNF233,394,549 -

The Consolidated Entity recognised a foreign currency exchange profi t for the year ended 30 June 2013 of $6,442 (2012: $229,369 loss) as a result of translating funds held in foreign currency to Australian dollars.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

27. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

(a) MARKET RISK (CONTINUED)

Movement of 10% in the foreign currency exchange rates as at 30 June 2013 would have increased the consolidated profi t by $644 (2012: $22,937 profi t).

Managements have set up a policy to monitor and measure this risk using sensitivity analysis and cash fl ow forecasting.

(ii) Cash Flow Interest Rate Risk

The Consolidated Entity’s exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the Consolidated Entity’s cash and cash equivalents. The Consolidated Entity is exposed to movements in market interest rates on short term deposits.

At the reporting date, the Cape Lambert Group had the following variable rate cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash:

Movement of 50 basis points on the interest rate would have increased/ (decreased) the consolidated profi t by $352,722 (2012: $297,646).

(iii) Price Risk

The Cape Lambert Group is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held and classifi ed on the statement of fi nancial position as at fair value through profi t or loss. The Cape Lambert Group is not exposed to commodity price risk.

==> picture [37 x 191] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [37 x 206] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [37 x 103] intentionally omitted <==

To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Cape Lambert Group diversifi es its portfolio which is done in accordance with the limits set by the Board of Directors.

The majority of the Cape Lambert Group’s equity investments are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX).

The table below summarises the impact of increases/decreases of fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t and loss on the Cape Lambert Group’s post tax profi t for the year and on equity. The analysis is based on the assumption that the value of fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t and loss had increased/decreased by 10% (2012 – 10%) with all other variables held constant.

  1. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

==> picture [59 x 497] intentionally omitted <==

(b) Credit Risk

Credit risk is managed on a consolidated basis. Exposure to credit risk relating to fi nancial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a fi nancial loss to the Cape Lambert Group. The Cape Lambert Group has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties and obtaining suffi cient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of fi nancial loss from defaults. The credit risk on fi nancial assets, excluding investments, of the Cape Lambert Group, which have been recognised on the statement of fi nancial position, is the carrying amount, net of any provision for doubtful debts.

The Cape Lambert Group is exposed to credit risk as a result of subscribing to loan notes and convertible loan notes issued by listed and unlisted entities. This credit risk is managed by obtaining adequate security over the loans, generally in the form of a fi xed and fl oating charge over the assets of the borrower. Details of the loan notes and convertible loan notes to which the Cape Lambert Group had subscribed during the year are listed in note 7. 95% (2012: 76%) of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held by banks with a Moody’s credit rating on Aa2.

(c) Liquidity Risk

The Cape Lambert Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash fl ows in relation to its operational, investing and fi nancing activities.

At the reporting date, the Cape Lambert Group had no fi nancing arrangements in place. All fi nancial liabilities are current and expected to settle within six months.

(d) Fair Value Estimation

The fair value of fi nancial assets and liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The Directors consider that the carrying amount of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities recorded in the fi nancial statements approximates their fair values as the carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables / other receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

  • (a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)

Carrying amount included in current liabilities

The parent entity has provided fi nancial guarantees in respect of environmental performance bonds for subsidiaries during the current year amounting to $2,102,282 (2012: $2,351,710). The Company will have $5,651,492 of environmental and cash bonds returned to it n relation to the Leichhardt project in the September 2013 quarter.

(c) Tax Consolidation

The Company and its 100% owned controlled entities have formed a tax consolidated group. Members of the Cape Lambert Group have entered into a tax sharing arrangement in order to allocate income tax expense to the wholly owned controlled entities on a pro-rata basis. The agreement provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. At balance date, the possibility of default is remote. The head entity of the tax consolidated group is Cape Lambert Resources Limited.

Tax Effect Accounting by Members of the Tax Consolidated Group

Members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement. The tax funding agreement provides for the allocation of current taxes to members of the tax consolidated group. Deferred taxes are allocated to members of the tax consolidated group in accordance with a group allocation approach which is consistent with the principles of AASB 112 Income Taxes. The allocation of tax under the tax funding agreement is recognised as an increase/decrease in the controlled entities’ intercompany accounts with the tax consolidated group head Company, Cape Lambert Resources Limited. In this regard the Company has assumed the benefi t of tax losses from controlled entities of Nil (2010: Nil) as of the balance date. The Company has received a payment from the controlled entities of $5,484,180 (2010: $5,215,749) as of the balance date in respect of the current year tax liability for the tax consolidated group. The nature of the tax funding agreement is such that no tax consolidation contributions by or distributions to equity participants are required.

Independent audit report to members of Cape Lambert Resources Limited

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Cape Lambert Resources Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2013, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors' responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

==> picture [37 x 268] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [37 x 283] intentionally omitted <==

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 judgment, 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 controls relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal controls. 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 . We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the directors’ report.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Board of Directors

The Board’s role is to govern the Company rather than to manage it. In governing the Company, the Directors must act in the best interests of the Company as a whole. It is the role of senior management to manage the Company in accordance with the direction and delegations of the Board and it is the responsibility of the Board to oversee the activities of management in carrying out these delegated duties.

In carrying out its governance role, the main task of the Board is to drive the performance of the Company. The Board must also ensure that the Company complies with all of its contractual, statutory and any other legal obligations, including the requirements of any regulatory body. The Board has the fi nal responsibility for the successful operations of the Company.

To assist the Board in carrying out its functions, it has developed a Code of Conduct to guide the Directors, the Chief Executive Offi cer, the Chief Financial Offi cer and other key executives in the performance of their roles.

In general, the Board is responsible for, and has the authority to determine, all matters relating to the policies, practices, management and operations of the Company. It is required to do all things that may be necessary to be done in order to carry out the objectives of the Company. Full details of the Board’s role and responsibilities are contained in the Board Charter, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website.

Without intending to limit this general role of the Board, the principal functions and responsibilities of the Board include the following:

  • » Leadership of the Organisation: overseeing the Company and establishing codes that refl ect the values of the Company and guide the conduct of the Board.

  • » Strategy Formulation: to set and review the overall strategy and goals for the Company and ensuring that there are policies in place to govern the operation of the Company.

  • » Overseeing Planning Activities: the development of the Company’s strategic plan.

  • » Shareholder Liaison: ensuring effective communications with shareholders through an appropriate communications policy and promoting participation at general meetings of the Company.

  • » Monitoring, Compliance and Risk Management: the development of the Company’s risk management, compliance, control and accountability systems and monitoring and directing the fi nancial and operational performance of the Company.

  • » Company Finances: approving expenses and approving and monitoring acquisitions, divestitures and fi nancial and other reporting.

==> picture [37 x 268] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [37 x 283] intentionally omitted <==

  • » Human Resources: appointing, and, where appropriate, removing the Chief Executive Offi cer (CEO) and Chief Financial Offi cer (CFO) as well as reviewing the performance of the CEO and monitoring the performance of senior management in their implementation of the Company’s strategy.

  • » Ensuring the Health, Safety and Well-Being of Employees: in conjunction with the senior management team, developing, overseeing and reviewing the effectiveness of the Company’s occupational health and safety systems to ensure the well-being of all employees.

  • » Delegation of Authority: delegating appropriate powers to the CEO to ensure the effective day-to-day management of the Company and establishing and determining the powers and functions of the Committees of the Board.

Structure of the Board

To add value to the Company the Board has been formed so that it has effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its responsibilities and duties given its current size and scale of operations. The names of the Directors and their qualifi cations and experience are stated in the Directors’ Report. Directors are appointed based on the specifi c skills required by the Company and on other attributes such as their decision-making and judgment skills.

The Company recognises the importance of Non-Executive Directors and the external perspective and advice that NonExecutive Directors can offer. Mr Tim Turner, Mr Ross Levin and Mr Brian Maher are Non-Executive Directors, and are independent directors as they meet the following criteria for independence adopted by the Company.

An Independent Director is a Non-Executive Director and:

  • » is not a substantial shareholder of the Company or an offi cer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company;

  • » within the last three years has not been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another group member, or been a Director after ceasing to hold any such employment;

  • » within the last three years has not been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the Company or another group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided;

  • » is not a material supplier or customer of the Company or another group member, or an offi cer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer;

  • » has no material contractual relationship with the Company or other group member other than as a Director of the Company;

  • » has not served on the Board for a period which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company; and

  • » is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company.

Mr Tony Sage is the Executive Chairman of the Company and does not meet the Company’s criteria for independence. The Board believes his experience and knowledge of the Company makes him the most appropriate person to lead the Board.

The role of Chief Executive Offi cer of the Company is currently discharged by the Executive Chairman, Mr Tony Sage. The Board considers relevant industry experience and specifi c expertise important in providing strategic guidance and oversight of the Company, and it believes, Mr Tony Sage, remains the most appropriate person to fulfi l the role of Chief Executive Offi cer.

There are procedures in place, agreed by the Board, to enable directors, in furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense.

The term in offi ce held by each director in offi ce at the date of this report is as follows: Mr Tony Sage 12 years & 9 months (Executive Chairman) Mr Tim Turner 9 years (Non-Executive Director) Mr Brian Maher 7 years & 9 months (Non-Executive Director) Mr Ross Levin 3 years & 3 months (Non-Executive Director)

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Performance Review/Evaluation

It is the policy of the Board to conduct evaluation of its performance. The objective of this evaluation is to provide best practice corporate governance to the Company.

The performance of the Chief Executive Offi cer (Executive Chairman) is monitored by the non-executive Directors. A formal performance review of the Executive Chairman did not occur during the year but did occur post year end in conjunction with the negotiation of a new consultancy agreement between the Company and the Executive Chairman.

The performance of senior management is monitored by the Executive Chairman.

The Board has established formal practices to evaluate the performance of the Board, committees, non-executive Directors, the Chief Executive Offi cer, and senior management. Details of these practices are available on the Company’s website. No formal performance evaluation of the Board, individual directors of senior management took place during the year.

In order to achieve continuing improvement in Board performance, all Directors are encouraged to undergo continual professional development. Specifi cally, Directors are provided with the resources and training to address skill gaps where they are identifi ed.

Securities Trading Policy

The Company has a Securities Trading Policy in place which is in compliance with the ASX Listing Rules.

Under the Company’s Securities Trading Policy, a Director, executive or other employee must not trade in any securities of the Company at any time when they are in possession of unpublished, price-sensitive information in relation to those securities. Additionally, the Board and other employees may not deal in the Company’s securities 2 days preceding the release of annual results and half year results.

Before commencing to trade outside of those black-out periods, a Director, executive or other employee must notify the Chairman of their intention to do so and obtain confi rmation from the chairman that there is no impediment to the person in trading in the Company’s securities.

As is required by the ASX Listing Rules, the Company notifi es the ASX of any transaction conducted by a Director in the securities of the Company.

A copy of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy can be found on the Company’s website, www.capelam.com.au.

Diversity Policy

The Company recognises that a talented and diverse workforce is a key competitive advantage and that an important contributor to the Company’s success is the quality, diversity and skills of its people.

Under the Company’s Code of Conduct, employees must not harass, discriminate or support others who harass and discriminate against colleagues or members of the public on the grounds of sex, pregnancy, marital status, age, race (including their colour, nationality, descent, ethnic or religious background), physical or intellectual impairment, homosexuality or transgender. Such harassment or discrimination may constitute an offence under legislation.

The Company has adopted a diversity policy which provides a framework for the Company to achieve:

  • » a diverse and skilled workforce, leading to continuous improvement in service delivery and achievement of corporate goals;

  • » a workplace culture characterised by inclusive practices and behaviors for the benefi t of all staff;

106 CAPE LAMBERT ANNUAL REPORT 2013

==> picture [59 x 655] intentionally omitted <==

  • » improved employment and career development opportunities for women;

  • » a work environment that values and utilises the contributions of employees with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives through improved awareness of the benefi ts of workforce diversity and successful management of diversity; and

  • » awareness in all staff of their rights and responsibilities with regards to fairness, equity and respect for all aspects of diversity.

The Board is primarily responsible for setting achievable objectives on gender diversity and monitoring the progress of the Company towards them on an annual basis. Due to the size and scale of operations of the Company, the Board has determined that a long term gender diversity objective is more appropriate.

The following table shows the representation of women in the Company as at 30 June 2013.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Risk Management Policies

The Board’s Charter clearly establishes that it is responsible for ensuring there is a good sound system for overseeing and managing risk. The Board has established a formal policy for risk management and a framework for monitoring and managing material business risks on an ongoing basis. The governance of this policy has been delegated to the Audit and Risk Committee. The Audit and Risk Committee reviews the material business risks determined and reported by executive management on a regular basis and ensures that an effective, integrated and comprehensive risk management system and process is being operated by management. The policies and procedures adopted are directed at meeting the following objectives:

  • » effectiveness and effi ciency in the use of the Company’s resources.

  • » compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

  • » preparation of reliable published fi nancial information.

Remuneration Committee

The Board has established a Remuneration Committee, which operates under a charter approved by the Board. The role of a Remuneration Committee is to assist the Board in fulfi lling its responsibilities in respect of establishing appropriate remuneration levels and incentive policies for employees, executives and directors.

The Remuneration Committee consists of the Non-Executive Directors. Members of the Remuneration Committee throughout the year were:

Mr Tim Turner Mr Brian Maher Mr Ross Levin

Responsibilities

The responsibilities of a Remuneration Committee include setting policies for senior offi cers’ remuneration, making recommendations to the Board on the Company’s incentive schemes and superannuation arrangements, reviewing the remuneration of both Executive and Non-Executive Directors and making recommendations on any proposed changes and undertaking reviews of the Offi cer’s performance.

Remuneration Policy

==> picture [37 x 268] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [37 x 283] intentionally omitted <==

Directors’ Remuneration has been approved by resolutions of the Board and resolutions of the Remuneration Committee on various dates as and when Directors have been appointed to the Company.

Senior Executive Remuneration Policy

The Company is committed to remunerating its senior executives in a manner that is market-competitive and consistent with best practice as well as supporting the interests of shareholders. Consequently, under the Senior Executive Remuneration Policy the remuneration of senior executive may be comprised of the following:

  • » fi xed fee that is determined from a review of the market and refl ects core performance requirements and expectations;

  • » a performance bonus designed to reward actual achievement by the individual of performance objectives and for materially improved Company performance;

  • » participation in any share/option scheme with thresholds approved by shareholders; and

  • » statutory superannuation.

By remunerating senior executives through performance and long-term incentive plans in addition to their fi xed remuneration the Company aims to align the interests of senior executives with those of shareholders and increase Company performance.

==> picture [59 x 655] intentionally omitted <==

The value of shares and options were they to be granted to senior executives would be calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The objective behind using this remuneration structure is to drive improved Company performance and thereby increase shareholder value as well as aligning the interests of executives and shareholders.

The Board may use its discretion with respect to the payment of bonuses, stock options and other incentive payments.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration Policy

Non-Executive Directors are to be paid their fees out of the maximum aggregate amount approved by shareholders for the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors.

Current Director Remuneration

Full details regarding the remuneration of Directors, is included in the Directors’ Report.

Nomination Committee

The role of a Nomination Committee is to help achieve a structured Board that adds value to the Company by ensuring an appropriate mix of skills are present in Directors on the Board at all times. As the whole Board only consisted of four members for the year, the Company does not have a nomination committee because it would not be a more effi cient mechanism than the full Board for focusing the Company on these specifi c issues.

Responsibilities

The responsibilities of a Nomination Committee would include devising criteria for Board membership, regularly reviewing the need for various skills and experience on the Board and identifying specifi c individuals for nomination as Directors for review by the Board. The Nomination Committee would also oversee management succession plans including the CEO and his/ her direct reports and evaluate the Board’s performance and make recommendations for the appointment and removal of Directors. Currently the Board as a whole performs this role.

Criteria for selection of Directors

Directors are appointed based on the specifi c governance skills required by the Company. Given the size of the Company and the business that it operates, the Company aims at all times to have at least one Director with relevant industry experience. In addition, Directors should have the relevant blend of personal experience in accounting and fi nancial management and Director-level business experience.
