REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
REMUNERATION PHILOSOPHY
The Board of Directors of Kentor Gold Limited is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors, the Managing Director and the executive team. The Board’s remuneration policy is to ensure that the remuneration package properly reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities, with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team. Such officers are given the opportunity to receive their base emolument in a variety of forms, including cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost to the Company.
To assist in achieving these objectives, the Board intends to link the nature and amount of executive officers’ emoluments to the Company’s financial and operational performance. No formal plan has been adopted at this time.
Employment agreements are entered into with executive directors and specified executives. The current employment contract with the managing director will terminate on 13 May 2009 and is at present under discussion. The employment contract with the Executive Director is automatically renewed for 6 months periods unless the Company gives notice of termination between 60 and 90 days prior to the expiry of the current extension period. Contracts do not provide for any additional termination benefits.
REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
The Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors and executives.
REMUNERATION STRUCTURE
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive remuneration is separate and distinct.
NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION
Objective
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.
Structure
The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the directors as agreed. The latest determination was confirmed by shareholders at the annual general meeting on 22 May 2008. The fee pool was increased to $200,000 as at this point the directors were contemplating the appointment of an additional director. The Board has decided to delay the decision on increasing the size and has maintained the fees paid to directors at current levels..
The Board considers advice from external consultants as well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.
4
KENTOR GOLD LIMITED ABN 52 082 658 080
Each director receives a fee for being a director of the Company. Directors who are called upon to perform extra services beyond the director’s ordinary duties may be paid additional fees for those services.
Non-executive directors have long been encouraged by the Board to hold shares in the Company. It is considered good governance for directors to have a stake in the company on whose Board he or she sits.
SENIOR EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION
Objective
The company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the company and so as to:
-
reward executives for company, business unit and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks;
-
align the interests of executives with those of shareholders;
-
link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the company; and
-
ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.
Structure
In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the Board obtained independent advice from external consultants on market levels of remuneration for comparable executive roles. It is the Board’s policy that employment contracts are entered into with the all senior executives.
VARIABLE REMUNERATION – LONG TERM INCENTIVES
Objective
The objectives of long term incentives are to:
-
recognise the ability and efforts of the employees of the Company who have contributed to the success of the company and to provide them with rewards where deemed appropriate;
-
provide an incentive to the employees to achieve the long term objectives of the Company and improve the performance of the Company; and
-
attract persons of experience and ability to employment with the Company and foster and promote loyalty between the Company and its employees.
Structure
The Company has implemented long term incentives granted to senior executives in the form of options in accordance with an Employee Share Option Plan, approved by shareholders on 22 May 2008. Hurdle prices have been built into the options requiring Kentor shares to trade above a certain price, for a certain period before the options can be exercised. This therefore aligns the Executives’ ability to achieve growth in shareholder value with the executives’ remuneration.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008
Kentor Gold Limited is a listed public company, limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia,
1 Summary of significant accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The financial report includes the separate financial statements of the company and the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘A-IFRS’). Compliance with A-IFRS ensures that the financial statements and notes of the company and the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on xx March 2009.
Basis of preparation
The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.
The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial report:
(a) Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards
No new or revised Australian Accounting Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective have been applied in the preparation of this financial report. Such standards are not expected to have a material impact on the company’s financial report on initial application.
(b) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared by combining the financial statements of all the entities that comprise the consolidated entity, being the company (the parent entity) and its subsidiaries as defined in Accounting Standard AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements . A list of subsidiaries appears in note 9(i) to the financial statements. Consistent accounting policies are employed in the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the group.
In the company’s financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less any impairment.
Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the group’s equity. Minority interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the minority’s share of changes in equity since then. Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity are allocated against the interests of the group except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make additional investments to cover the losses.
The consolidated financial statements include the information and results of each subsidiary from the date on which the company obtains control and until such time as the company ceases to control such entity.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, and unrealised profits arising within the consolidated entity are eliminated in full.
(c) Business combinations
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the purchase method.
On acquisition, the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If, after reassessment, the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired exceed the cost of acquisition, the deficiency is credited to profit and loss in the period of acquisition.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008
(d) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Interest Income
Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.
Other income
Other revenue is recognised at the completion of the transaction when the company’s right to receive payment has been established
(e) Income tax
Current tax
Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit 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 financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items. The tax base of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes.
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 sufficient 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 profit. 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 sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits 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 reflects 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.
The Company is not consolidated for tax purposes.
(f) Share-based payments
Equity settled share-based payments with employees and directors are measured at fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. Fair value is measured by use of a binomial model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations. The fair value determined at the grant date of the share-based payments is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because internal conditions were not met. An expense is still recognised for options that do not ultimately vest because a market condition was not met. Where options are cancelled, they are treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation and any unrecognised expenses are taken immediately to the income statement. However, if new options are substituted for the cancelled options and
17
KENTOR GOLD LIMITED and controlled entities ABN 52 082 658 080
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008
designated as a replacement on grant date, the combined impact of the cancellation and replacement option are treated as if they were a modification.
Equity settled share-based payment transactions with other parties are measured at fair value of the goods and services received, except where the fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date goods or services were obtained.
(g) Goods and services tax (GST) and value added tax (VAT)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST and VAT except:
-
where the GST and VAT incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST and VAT is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
-
receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST and VAT included.
The net amount of GST and VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.
Cash flows are included in the Cash Flow Statement on a gross basis and the GST and VAT component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST and VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(h) Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions and balances
All foreign currency transactions during the financial year are brought to account using 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.
Foreign operations
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the consolidated entity’s overseas operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve, and recognised in profit or loss on disposal of the foreign operation.
Functional Currency
The functional currency of the group and the parent entity is Australian Dollars. The subsidiaries domiciled in the Kyrgyz Republic have Soms as their functional currency. The majority of transactions in the subsidiaries are transacted in the Kyrgyz Som.
(i)
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash includes cash on hand and in banks, and money market investments readily converted to cash, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
(j) Financial assets
Financial Assets
Financial assets are recognised and derecognised on trade date where purchase or sale of a financial asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.
Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: ‘available-for-sale’ financial assets, and ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Interest in subsidiaries held by the parent entity are classified as being available-for-sale and are measured at cost less impairment.
18
KENTOR GOLD LIMITED and controlled entities ABN 52 082 658 080
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008
Loans and receivables
Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment.
Interest is recognised by applying the effective interest rate.
Intercompany loan receivable
The carrying value of the inter company loan receivable is assessed with reference to the net assets of the subsidiary company that support the recovery of the loan amount.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have been impacted. Evidence of impairment may include balances outstanding for more than 60 days. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Receivables are deemed to be uncollectible when there is no expectation of recovering further payment. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss as impairment looses which is included as a separate line in the Income Statement.
With the exception of available-for-sale equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
In respect of available-for-sale equity instruments, any subsequent increase in fair value after an impairment loss is recognised directly in equity.
(k) Exploration and evaluation assets
The consolidated entity applies AASB 6 Exploration For and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs 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 which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against operating results 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.
Farm In
Where the company is earning equity in a third party company through exploration expenditure (Farm-in), that expenditure is recorded as capitalised exploration costs until the requirements for the transfer of equity is met. When the requirements for transfer of equity are met, the capitalised exploration costs will be recognised as an investment in a subsidiary in the parent entity.
Farm Out
Where a third party is earning equity in one of the entity’s subsidiaries, that expenditure is recorded as capitalised exploration expenditure and a long term liability until the requirements for transfer of equity are met. When the requirements for transfer of equity are met, the capitalised long term liability will be transferred to proceeds on sale of equity interest in a subsidiary.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008
(l) Significant accounting judgement, estimates and assumptions
The carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities made within the next annual reporting period are:
Exploration and Evaluation
The Board of Directors determine when an area of interest should be abandoned. When a decision is made that an area of interest is not commercially viable, all costs that have been capitalised in respect of that area of interest are written off. The Director’s decision is made after considering the likelihood of finding commercially viable outcomes.
Going concern
Refer to note 1(v)
VAT Paid
The recovery of VAT paid is dependent on the Group incurring sufficient tax liabilities in the Kyrgyz Republic against which the VAT paid can be offset. Refer to note 10 for further detail.
(m) Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the consolidated entity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the consolidated entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. An impairment of goodwill is not subsequently reversed.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
(n) Plant and equipment
- i) Acquisition
Items of plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost and depreciated as outlined below.
-
ii) Depreciation
-
Plant & equipment and computer equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis at rates based upon the expected useful lives of these assets. The expected useful lives of these assets are 3-6 years (2007: 3-6 years).
(o) Leases
Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.
Operating Leases
The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis. Contingent rentals are recognised as an expense in the financial year in which they are incurred.

KENTOR GOLD LIMITED and controlled entities ABN 52 082 658 080
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008
(p) Payables
Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the consolidated entity becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services.
(q)
Issued capital
Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the company.
Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the proceeds of the equity instruments to which the costs relate. Transaction costs are the costs that are incurred directly in connection with the issue of those equity instruments and which would not have been incurred had those instruments not been issued.
(r) Share based payments
The Consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and consultants by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a black-scholes using the assumptions in note 18.
(s) Employee benefits
Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave, and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.
Provisions made in respect of employee benefits expected 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 benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the consolidated entity in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.
(t) Earnings per share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members, adjusted for:
-
Costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;
-
The after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
-
Other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares
divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
(u) Comparatives
Where necessary, comparatives have been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures.
(v) Going concern basis
The consolidated entity is involved in the exploration and evaluation of mineral tenements and as such expects to be cash absorbing until these tenements demonstrate that they contain economically recoverable reserves.
As at 31 December 2008, the group recorded accumulated losses from continuing operations after taxation of $10,493,984. In addition, the company had incurred negative cashflows from operations of $2,097,363 and negative cashflows from investing activities of $2,989,492 in the financial year and has a surplus of current assets over current liabilities of $1,115,217 as at 31 December 2008.
Notwithstanding the above, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008
The company is in the process of preparing a Pre-feasibility Study (PFS) on the Savoyardy Gold Project and all indications at this point are that there will be a positive outcome from this study. It is the company’s intention following completion of the PFS, to, in the first instance, approach sophisticated and institutional investors to take part in a placement to fund the development of the project and provide working capital to the company.
Having carefully assessed the uncertainties relating to the likelihood of securing additional funding and the consolidated entity’s and company’s ability to effectively manage their expenditures and cashflows from operations, the directors believe that the consolidated entity and company will continue to operate as a going concern for at least the next 12months from the date of signing of this report and therefore it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
In the event that the assumptions underpinning the basis of preparation do not occur as anticipated, there is uncertainty whether the consolidated entity and company will continue to operate as going concerns. If the consolidated entity and company are unable to continue as going concerns they may be required to realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements.
No adjustments have been made to the financial report relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity and company not continue as going concerns.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated after classifying all options on issue remaining unconverted at 31 December 2008 as potential ordinary shares. At 31 December 2008, the company has on issue 7,100,000 options (2007: 3,966,667 options) over unissued capital and has incurred a net loss. As the notional exercise price of these options is significantly greater than the current market price of the shares they have not been included in the calculations of diluted earnings per share. These options are anti dilutive as the group is in a loss situation.

Ultimate recovery of deferred exploration and evaluation costs is dependent upon success in exploration and evaluation or sale or farm-out of the exploration interests.
The impairment recognised for the year ended 31 December 2008 reflects an abandonment of the Chaar kuduk and Yangidavan areas of interest and a write-down of the Akbel area of interest.
The prior year adjustment arises from incorrect rates being used for the conversion of capitalised exploration in the foreign based subsidiaries and the inclusion of previously un-consolidated subsidiaries.

23. Financial instruments
Management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the group through regular reviews of the risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk.
The group does not use any form of derivatives as it is not at a level of exposure that requires the use of derivatives to hedge its exposure. Exposure limits are reviewed by management on a continuous basis. The group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes
The group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, local money market instruments, short-term investments, accounts receivable and payable and loans to and from subsidiaries.
The group has minimal exposure to the financial risks of changes in interest rates.
(a) Capital risk management
The capital structure of the Group consists of equity attributable to equity holders of the parent comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. The group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the equity. There are no externally imposed capital requirements.

Credit risk arises principally from cash on deposit, trade and other receivables, including related party loans. The objective of the entity is to minimize risk of loss from credit risk exposure.
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security at balance date is the carrying amount of those assets, net of any impairments, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements.
There is no concentration of credit risk as the group did not have customers during the year. The group manages it’s credit risk associated with funds on deposit and cash at bank by only dealing with reputable financial institutions.

Foreign currency risks arise from the Group’s investment in foreign controlled subsidiaries. The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are Kyrgyz Soms and US Dollars.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR ’ S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KENTOR GOLD LIMITED
Report on the Financial Report
==> picture [172 x 151] intentionally omitted <==
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Kentor Gold Limited, which comprises the balance sheet as at 31 December 2008, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes 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 and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 . This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that compliance with the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies 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. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor ’ s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal 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 opinions.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 would be in the same terms if it had been given to the directors at the time that this auditor ’ s report was made.
BDO Kendalls is a national association of separate partnerships and entities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR ’ S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KENTOR GOLD LIMITED (Continued)
Auditor ’ s Opinion
In our opinion:
-
(a) the financial report of Kentor Gold Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the company ’ s and consolidated entity ’ s financial position as at 31 December 2008 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and
-
(b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements.
Material Uncertainty Regarding Continuation as a Going Concern
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1(v) in the financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity as at 31 December 2008 recorded accumulated losses of $10,493,984. In addition the consolidated entity had incurred negative cash flows from operations of $2,097,363 and negative cash flows from investing activities of $2,989,492 in the financial year and has current assets in excess of current liabilities of $1,115,217 as at 31 December 2008. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(v), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity ’ s ability to continue as a going concern.
As disclosed in note 1, the consolidated entity is in the process of preparing a Pre-feasibility Study (PFS) on the Savoyardy Gold Project. The company expects that the results of the PFS will be positive and that once this study is completed the company, in the first instance, will approach sophisticated and institutional investors to raise further capital to fund the development of the Savoyardy Gold Project and to provide working capital for the company.
No adjustments have been made to the carrying value of assets or recorded amount of liabilities should the company ’ s plans not eventuate.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the Directors ’ Report for the year ended 31 December 2008. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Auditor ’ s Opinion
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Kentor Gold Limited for the year ended 31 December 2008, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
