SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

Kentor decided to withdraw from the Savoyardy gold-antimony project in the south-east of Kyrgyz Republic, where the Company had an agreement with Manas Resources Limited to earn up to 70% of the project. A small, high grade resource has been identified at Savoyardy, and there is potential for further discoveries on the exploration licence. However, Kentor has concluded that the funds the Company would be required to expend at Savoyardy to complete the joint venture earn in, should be re-directed to other exploration and development commitments.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

On 21st March 2011, Kentor announced that terms had been agreed with Macquarie Bank Limited on a Committed Letter of Offer for a US$50M debt facility to complete construction of the Andash Gold-Copper project in the Kyrgyz Republic.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS

The Board of Directors primary focus in FY2011 is to commence construction of a 1.5Mtpa Gold Copper concentrator plant in the Kyrgyz Republic and continue exploration and development programmes on existing tenements including Andash, Aktash and Bashkol.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

The Group‟s operations are not subject to any significant environmental regulations under either Commonwealth or State legislation.

The Group‟s Kyrgyzstan based entities are subject to the relevant laws and regulations imposed by the Kyrgyzstan government. Additionally, the Kyrgyz Republic is a contracting party to a number of international environmental conventions.

Kentor‟s projects are subject to annual reviews by the Kyrgyz government inspectors and have in all instances been found to be in full compliance.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

Remuneration philosophy

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.

To assist in achieving these objectives, the Board intends to link the nature and amount of executive officers‟ emoluments to the Group‟s financial and operational performance. No formal plan has been adopted at this time.

Employment agreements are entered into with executive directors and other key management personnel. The current employment contract with the managing director will terminate on 31 May 2011. The employment contract with the Executive Director, Hugh McKinnon 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 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.

6

KENTOR GOLD LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 52 082 658 080

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONTINUED)

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. The current aggregate remuneration so determined is $200,000. An amount not exceeding $200,000 is divided between the directors as agreed.

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.

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.

Executive remuneration

Objective

The company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of fixed and variable remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the company and so as to align the interests of executives with those of shareholders.

Structure

In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the Board obtains 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 a long term incentive program for senior executives. This is in the form of options granted in accordance with an Employee Share Option Plan, approved by shareholders on 22 May 2008. The exercise prices of these options have been set in excess of the market price at the time of issue therefore aligning the Executives‟ ability to achieve growth in shareholder value with the executives‟ remuneration.

The Company has in place a policy that prohibits directors and employees who receive options from entering into a transaction that is designed to limit the economic risk of options that have not yet vested.

On a case by case basis some new Senior Executives are also provided with options as part of their remuneration package.

The remuneration committee is considering implementing a series of short term incentives for senior executives based on achieving agreed key performance indicators.

The options have no expiry date except, in the event of the cessation of employment, 30 days after the date of cessation of employment.

The fair value of the options was determined using a binomial model. Where relevant, the expected life used in the model has been adjusted based on management‟s best estimate for the effects of nontransferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations.

1,000,000 options were exercised during the reporting period by Mr John Taylor. 1,000,000 shares were issued at the exercise price of these options and $0.1262 was paid per share. No amount remains unpaid. The value of the options on the date they were exercised was $0.0238. This value has been determined as the intrinsic value at exercise date. i.e. the market value of the shares on exercise date over the exercise price of the options.

This is the end of the audited remuneration report.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010

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 covers the consolidated entity, Kentor Gold Limited, and its subsidiaries. Separate financial statements for Kentor Gold Limited as an individual entity are no longer presented as a consequence of a change in the Corporations Act 2001. However, limited financial information for Kentor Gold Limited as an individual entity is included in Note 25.

Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards („A-IFRS‟). Compliance with A-IFRS ensures that the financial statements and notes comply with International Financial Reporting Standards („IFRS‟).

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 30 March 2011.

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.

Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the group‟s equity. Non-controlling 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 2010

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(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 the 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 nontransferability, 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.

(f) Share-based payments

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 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 statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cashflows 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 Statement of Cashflows, cash includes cash on hand and in banks, and money market investments readily converted to cash, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

The consolidated entity uses cash held in foreign currencies to hedge against foreign exchange risk arising on highly probably capital expenditure that will be settled in a foreign currency.

The consolidated entity documents at the time of acquiring the foreign currency the hedging relationship between hedging instrument and hedged item, including the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions. The consolidated entity also documents its assessment, both at inception and periodically, of whether the hedging instruments have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes cash flows of hedged items.

The gains or losses in respect of hedge transactions which relate to future purchases are recognised in comprehensive income and included in the measurement of the purchase to which they relate when the anticipated transaction occurs. Any gains or losses on the hedge transaction after that date are included in the profit and loss.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument is sold or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. At that point in time, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in equity is kept in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity is transferred to the profit and loss for the year.

(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

Interests in subsidiaries held by the parent entity are classified as being available-for-sale and are measured at cost less impairment.

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.

(j) Financial assets (continued)

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 Statement of Financial Performance.

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.

(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(u)

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) Property, plant and equipment

i) Acquisition

Items of plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost and depreciated as outlined below.

ii) Depreciation

  • Property, 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 (2009: 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.

(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) Employee benefits

Provision is made for benefits 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 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.

(s) 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.

In the current year, the Group recognised an impairment loss of $3,764,347 in relation to the Savoyardy Project. The other impairment expenses relate to other exploration expenditure previously capitalised on other interests in the Kyrgyz Republic.

In the prior year, the facility costs is the fair value of the 36,424,126 options issued to Macquarie Bank Limited in consideration for providing a Committed Letter of Offer for a facility of USD$15,000,000 to help fund the acquisition of the Andash Project. This facility was not drawn upon as the Company raised sufficient share capital to fund the acquisition.

Ultimate recovery of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon success in development, sale or farm-out of the exploration interests.

The majority of the impairment expense recognised for the year ended 31 December 2010 represents a writedown of $3,764,347 of the Savoyardy project expenditure, which was discontinued in the current year.

The impairment recognised for the year ended 31 December 2009 represents a write-down of the Akbel area of interest.

  • The options have no expiry date except, in the event of the cessation of employment, 30 days after the date of cessation of employment.

  • ** The exercise price of unlisted share options was revised in light of the two rights issues during the 2010 financial year.

The fair value of the options were determined using a binomial model. Where relevant, 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.

Key inputs used in the calculation of the value of options issued during the year ended 31 Dec 2010 are:

Spot Price $0.086 and $0.078 Deal date 4 June 2010 and 24 June 2010 Expiry date 4 June 2015 and 24 June 2015 Volatility 70% Risk free rate 4.50%

Expected volatility was determined based on historic volatility adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility based on publicly available information.

4,000,000 options were granted during the reporting year (2009: 5,000,000). 1,000,000 options were exercised during the reporting period (2009: nil).

21. 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 and commodity price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk.

The primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Group‟s financial and commodity risk management program supports the achievement of the Company‟s objectives by enabling the identification and evaluation of risks, setting acceptable risk thresholds, identifying and mapping controls against these risks and implementing policies and procedures to manage and monitor the risks.

These written policies establish the financial and commodity risk management framework and define the procedures and controls for the effective management of the Group‟s risks that arise through the Company‟s current gold mining exploration and development activities and those risks which may arise through other mining activities in the future.

The policy ensures all financial and commodity risks are fully recognised and treated in a manner consistent with:

==> picture [12 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [12 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [12 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

  • The Board‟s management philosophy;

  • Commonly accepted industry practice and corporate governance; and

  • Shareholders expectations of a gold producer

In December 2009, the Group increased its exposure to exchange rate risk through the acquisition of a controlling stake in the Andash copper- gold project in the Kyrgyz Republic. The risk management policies were revised to incorporate this development.

The policies are reviewed by the Board annually, at a minimum, as the Group‟s financial and commodity risks are likely to change over time.

There have been no other substantive changes in the Group‟s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from the previous period.

The Group‟s principle financial instruments comprise cash at bank, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables.

Credit risk arises principally from cash on deposit and trade and other receivables. 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 statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.

There is no concentration of credit risk in trade and receivables as the Group did not have customers during the year.

At balance date the group has a material exposure of $71,363,275 to National Australia Bank Limited relating to funds on deposit and cash at bank (2009: $13,024,646). The group manages its credit risk associated with funds on deposit and cash at bank by only dealing with reputable financial institutions.

(d) Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in commodity prices (commodity price risk); foreign exchange rates (foreign exchange risk) or interest rates (interest rate risk).

The objective of market risk management is to manage and control risk exposure within acceptable parameters whilst optimising returns.

(d) Market Risk – (continued)

  • i) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risks arise from two areas:-

  • The Group‟s investment in foreign controlled subsidiaries. The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are Kyrgyz Soms and US Dollars. The Group‟s investments in subsidiaries are not hedged as those currency positions are considered to be long term in nature.

  • The Group‟s development of the Andash copper-gold project in the Kyrgyz Republic. As a result of development activities, the parent entity enters into contracts for goods and services denominated in Euro and USD.

It is the policy of the Group to manage the foreign currency risk on highly probable forecast capital expenditure by utilising foreign currency hedging. To hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk on highly probable forecast capital expenditure, the Group purchases Euro and USD to match the currencies in which the Group expects to settle the highly probable forecast capital expenditure.

The cash flows associated with the highly probable forecast capital expenditure are expected to occur at various dates within eighteen months from the end of the reporting period. At the end of the reporting period, the foreign currency that was being held as a hedging instrument was:

2010 2010 2009
USD/Euro $ USD/Euro $
USD 5,000,000 4,919,807 - -
Euro 4,000,000 5,215,804 - -
Total 10,135,611 -

The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income and the hedge reserve. When the highly probable forecast capital expenditure occurs, the amount of capital expenditure recognised is adjusted for the related amount deferred in the hedge reserve.

During the year ended 31 December 2010 there was a loss from a decrease in the fair value of the foreign currency held as hedging instruments of $434,483 (2009:Nil).

During the year ended 31 December 2010 no amount was reclassified from the hedge reserve and included in the acquisition cost of capital equipment (2009:Nil). There was no hedge ineffectiveness in the current or prior year.

There were no financial instruments with a material foreign currency exposure at the end of the preceding financial year.

Capital Commitments

  • (a) In 2010, Kaldora Company committed to purchase two 6MW Ball Mills from Outotec Pty Limited for €4,656,790 and €4,613,210 respectively. Mr John Taylor, a non-executive Director of Kentor was the Managing Director of Outotec (Australasia) Pty Ltd. This transaction occurred based on normal commercial terms.

  • (b) During 2010, Kaldora Company Limited signed an option agreement with Turan Metals LLC in regard the Aktash Project. The exclusive option to purchase the Aktash licence will be granted for a period of 18 months following satisfactory completion of due diligence investigations. The option payments are US$200,000 for the first year (paid in full in 2010) and US$200,000 for the remaining period payable October 2011. During the option period, Kentor has an obligation to drill a minimum of 1,500 metres. Payment for exercising the option will be based on a JORC-compliant resource calculation, and has been agreed at:

US$19 per ounce of gold

  • US$105 per tonne of copper US$0.30 per ounce of silver

  • (c) During 2010, AMEC Minproc was engaged to provide engineering services for the Andash copper-gold project. A total of US$11,162,165 had been budgeted, with the remaining commitment at balance date payable of US$7,029,622. This work will be completed in the next 12 months.

Operating lease commitments

  • (d) Operating lease commitments comprise leases over a rail siding storage facility and office space in Australia and the Kyrgyz Republic.

23. Contingent liabilities and assets

(a) In October 2010 the Talas Inter-district court ruled that Aurum Mining Plc and Invest-centre Talas LLC‟s (ICT) ownership in Andash Mining Company LLC (AMC) were invalid due their a failure to comply with the Strategic Objects legislation in the Kyrgyz Republic. On 19 January 2011, a subsequent appeal to the Talas Oblast Court by both parties was dismissed. A further appeal to the Supreme Court of Kyrgyzstan was lodged on the 25 February 2011. A date is yet to be set for the hearing.

Kentor owns the remaining 80% of AMC through its subsidiary Kaldora Company Limited, and remains unaffected by this claim. Kentor complied fully with the requirements of the strategic objects legislation and Kentor is firmly of the belief that the action does not affect Kentor‟s holding in the project.

(b) On the 24 December 2010, the Company was advised that a Statement of Claim (the Claim) has been lodged against Kentor Gold Limited and its subsidiary Kaldora Company Limited. The Claim has been issued by ICT, which recently had its non-controlling interest in Andash Mining Company LLC declared invalid by the Talas Inter-district court. The Claim requests that the Kaldora company, which hold Kentor‟s 80 % interest in the Andash Mining Company LLC (AMC), be excluded from AMC on the basis that Kaldora inflicted a material damage to the other members of AMC. The hearing date has been set for April 2011, however the Company is confident that this case has no merit following the court ruling achieved as set out in part (a) above and will strenuously defending the action.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010

23. Contingent liabilities and assets (continued)

(c) On 4 February 2011, Kentor was advised that the Krygyz Government is establishing a Commission of Enquiry for the Andash Project, with a view to expediting the approval process. Kentor agreed to suspend on-site activities whilst this review is undertaken. The Commission was due to deliver its final report on 1 March 2011 and as an interim outcome, the Commission has requested Kentor re-establish communications with the local community. It is Kentor‟s intention to also re-commence its community development programs. It is anticipated that the final determination of the Commission will be issued in the coming weeks.

Kentor is hoping that site access will be obtained in the months following the Commission‟s determinations.

24. Subsequent events

Subsequent to year end, Kentor acquired:

  1. US$30,000,000 selling Australian Dollars at an exchange rate of 1.0014.

  2. €966,642 selling Australian Dollars at an exchange rate of .7628.

On 21st March 2011, Kentor announced that terms had been agreed with Macquarie Bank Limited on a Committed Letter of Offer for a US$50M debt facility to complete construction of the Andash Gold-Copper project in the Kyrgyz Republic.

No other subsequent events have occurred post balance date.
