ADVANCED MAGNESIUM LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2011

EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

The last 12 months have been a period of significant
progress for Advanced Magnesium Limited (AML). The
Company has continued to successfully pursue the
strategies communicated to shareholders in 2009 at the
time of its acquisition of a 53% stake in HNKWE, a
Chinese magnesium alloy manufacturer.
We are pleased to report that HNKWE has become
profitable and, with the acquisition of the Magontec Group
of companies on 4 July 2011, AML is now among the
leading magnesium alloy and anode manufacturers in the
World. Magontec is a profitable and long established
magnesium anode and alloy manufacturing and recycling
business.
The strategies pursued over the last two years has
resulted in AML acquiring an asset base that is capable of
exploiting its World-class magnesium technology assets
and the growing commercial opportunities for
manufacturers of magnesium alloy. AML is now a
diversified magnesium anode and alloy manufacturer and
recycler with an established global distribution platform and
a portfolio of high technology alloys for future growth and
development.
As the strategic vision is realised, shareholders, customers
and employees of AML can look forward to further growth
in revenues and emerging profitability. It is the current
expectation of the AML Board and management that AML
will be profitable in the current financial year.
Despite a difficult global financial environment we think the
future for the global magnesium alloy and anode industry is
an optimistic one. The major products that AML
manufactures and sells are likely to experience growing
demand and AML is well placed to encourage and support
that process. Our major industry customer is the
automotive sector. Automotive manufacturers face the
challenge of lowering CO2 emissions in almost all the
major economies of the World.  While smaller engines and
other technologies will play a role in delivering improved
fuel consumption, lightweight materials are also a focus of
vehicle development teams. In addition to a trend towards
lighter materials the market for magnesium alloys in the
automotive sector is also experiencing organic growth as
demand rises in China and recovers in the USA. A recent
report from a major US Investment Bank forecasts an
increase in global automotive volumes of 10% to 78 million
units in 2012.
While there are many applications of magnesium alloy in
automotive construction, from door frames and seat frames
to instrument panel beams, the application of high
temperature magnesium alloys to engine cradles and
power train housing represent the biggest opportunity and
challenge for the industry. High temperature magnesium
alloys are currently used in selected applications in Europe
and the USA and large-scale production is currently under
consideration among the major automotive manufacturers.
As magnesium applications move from low-tech frames to
high-tech and heavier high temperature housings, the
required volumes are likely to grow significantly.
The challenges for AML over the next 2 years remain
significant. Establishing a secure and reliable supply chain
is a critical element for every manufacturing business. Our
customers require us to demonstrate that, in addition to
being able to offer high quality material and creative
technologies, we are able to ensure regular and
predictable material supply. The structure of our business
following the acquisition of Magontec makes AML
particularly well placed to become a preferred supplier to
our die cast customers (which include the “3C” and motor
vehicle manufacturers)..
The magnesium industry remains dominated by Chinese
supply (over 90% of all primary magnesium is
manufactured in China). Encouragingly the Chinese
primary magnesium industry is being subjected to
significant reforms. In pursuit of environmental targets, the
Chinese Government is promoting the closure of smaller
and less energy efficient primary magnesium
manufacturers. This is likely to promote greater supply and
pricing stability in the medium term. In the intervening
period AML is seeking new partnerships with primary
magnesium companies to address critical supply issues
and hope to make an announcement in this regard in the
coming weeks.
I want to spend a little time in this address explaining both
the new business that we have acquired and the
performance of AML’s joint venture that is now over two
years old.
On 4[th] July 2011 AML acquired the business of the
Magontec group of companies from Straits Resources
Limited. AML paid A$5.56m for Magontec (compared with
net assets (unaudited) of $8.39m.The business of
Magontec covers all the aspects of the magnesium alloy
industry. The company is the leading manufacturer of
magnesium and titanium anodes for the water heater
industry, it supplies magnesium alloys to customers on
every continent and it is a leading recycler of magnesium
alloys, both in Europe and Asia.
Magontec has had a long and profitable history since its
inception in 1953. It enjoys strong relationships with major
automotive, electronics, powertool and water heater
manufacturers around the World. It carries a reputation for
consistency and quality in an industry that has seen many
difficult periods.
The company manufactures generic and high temperature
magnesium alloys at Xi’an in Shaanxi Province in central
China and recycles magnesium alloys at Bottrop in
Germany and Suzhou in eastern China. In 2012 Magontec
will open a new anode manufacturing and alloy recycling
business at Santana in Romania. Magontec has current
alloy production capacity of 35,000 metric tonnes per
annum (mtpa) and anode manufacturing capacity of 1,780
mtpa.
One of the significant strengths of the Magontec business
model is its installed recycling capacity. The die casting
process generates large quantities of scrap metal. Each
die ‘shot’ can generate between 20% and 80% scrap,
depending on the product. Magnesium alloy die casters
(our customers) put a high premium on magnesium alloy
suppliers who can also offer a cost effective and local
recycling option. Magontec has current recycling capacity
in Germany and China and is installing new recycling
capacity in Romania, one of the most comprehensive
offerings in the industry.
The anode business that Magontec has built is also a
critical element in the new business structure. Anodes are
used in both the water heater industry and in other
cathodic corrosion protection applications. While the
Magontec business is focussed on water heaters in Europe

ADVANCED MAGNESIUM LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2011 | 1

and Asia, there are significant growth opportunities in new
territories and new products. In addition to magnesium
anodes, Magontec also manufactures titanium anodes.
The company has developed significant technology in this
market segment, offering scope for growth as well as
diversification.
Anodes are both die cast and extruded. Extrusion is a
forming process that is likely to grow quickly over the
coming years as new extrusion alloys allow industry to
apply magnesium to an increasing number of applications.
Businesses examining extrusion and sheet alloys include
those in the rapidly expanding fast train industry as well as
the automotive industry. In addition to Magontec’s own
extrusion alloys, AML technologies have also been
developed for extruded applications.
Magontec’s major Chinese operating base is at Xi’an in the
province of Shaanxi. This operation manufactures new
magnesium alloy and buys primary magnesium and other
alloying inputs from local manufacturers. The Xi’an
business supplies both the local Chinese and international
markets. This business has felt many of the negative
effects of raw material price fluctuations and will benefit
from the industry reforms currently underway.
Magontec recently acquired a smaller recycling business at
Suzhou in Jiangsu Province close to Shanghai. This
business is dedicated to receiving scrap from the multitude
of automotive and electronics companies based in that
region.
Across all of Magontec’s business there has been a strong
focus on safety and environmental control. While the
management of AML and Magontec take the issue of
health and safety very seriously, we are also very focussed
on environmental standards. Our future as a company
rests in part on our ability to offer die cast customers a
product that enhances the environmental impact of their
own products. Our customers are increasingly focussed on
quality and process at the production level. AML and
Magontec are committed to ensuring that high levels of
safety and environmental control are observed across the
expanded Group. The established monitoring and safety
management systems that Magontec brings to our
company, enhances our overall ability to manage this
important business aspect.
activities, but also reflecting a reticence on the part of die
cast customers to spend time and money on new projects
in an uncertain economic climate.
Over the next 12 months, we expect to increase our
activities in the technology area. The SAM facility gives
AML a significant advantage in providing large and small
volumes of trial and commercial products from our
technology portfolio. Our ability to manufacture non
standard and patented technology-based alloys to order
without closing a major furnace provides AML with unique
production flexibility.
Looking forward over the current financial year we see
many reasons for optimism. AML is well placed to play a
major role as a supplier to a growing industry that requires
the innovation and the growing supply chain competencies
of our group. We have increased the diversity of our
products and grown our ability to penetrate the magnesium
alloy markets. We have built and acquired business units
that are currently profitable and offer opportunities for cost
rationalisation and growth. Perhaps most importantly we
have established a comprehensive magnesium alloy
manufacturing, distribution and technology platform that is
well placed to take advantage of a major structural change
in the automotive industry generated by global
environmental regulation.
Our Board has expanded with appointment of Mr Rob
Shaw in March 2011 and Mr Guenter Franke when
Magontec was acquired
On behalf of the Board I welcome the newer members.
I also wish to put on record the Board’s appreciation of all
the staff in executing the strategies of the Company in the
past two years and am quietly confident that the Company
is on the road to generating sustainable profits in coming
years

NICHOLAS ANDREWS EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN

AML’s 53% owned joint venture, HNKWE, continues to
grow output and profitability. From a standing start in 2009
HNKWE has grown production to a peak production of
1,200 mt per month. Currently there are two new
production units under construction at our factory in Henan
Province that will raise capacity to over 30,000 mt pa.
HNKWE has become a recognised, large scale and
reliable supplier of high quality magnesium alloys. While
industry statistics are hard to come by, we believe that
HNKWE is currently one of the most efficient and low cost
manufacturers of generic magnesium alloys in China.
HNKWE produced a net profit after income tax for the year
of $616,041 – of which $326,502 is attributable to the
members of AML.
The progress in AML’s manufacturing joint venture and the
acquisition of Magontec have been the highlights of the
last 12 months, however progress in developing our
technology alloys has been slower. We have made
shipments of AM Cast, made at HNKWEs Special Alloy
Module (SAM), to customers in the USA and hope to
develop that market in the current financial year. Activities
in high temperature alloys and extrusion alloys have been
more muted, in part because of the focus on other

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

A summary of the Company’s main corporate governance
practices, as well as any disclosures required by the
Australian Securities Exchange’s second edition
“Corporate Governance Principles” (as amended on 30
June 2010) is set out below.

Composition of the board

The Board reviews the mix of experience, expertise and
other qualities of the Directors. In addition to its current
skills base the Board might seek new Directors with
understanding of industrial marketing and manufacturing
processes. If a vacancy occurs on the Board, or if the size
of the Board is to be increased, the Board will identify the
experience, expertise and other qualities sought and
identify appropriate candidates. The Remuneration and
Appointments (REM) Committee considers these matters
in concert with the Board.
Directors retiring by rotation do not seek re-election at an
Annual General Meeting if they have reached 69 years of
age on or before the date of that meeting.  In any event,
Directors retire from the Board on reaching 70 years of
age.

Board responsibilities

The Directors are responsible for protecting the rights and
interests of the Shareholders through the development of
sound strategies, ensuring their implementation, and by
the development of an integrated framework of controls
over the Company’s resources, functions and assets.
The Board’s responsibilities include:
  • Steering strategic directions and establishing goals for management;

  • Monitoring performance against these goals and objectives;

  • Ensuring there are strong business controls and ethical standards of behaviour;

  • Appointing the Chief Executive Officer or equivalent, evaluating performance and determining the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and senior executives;

  • Ensuring the significant risks facing the business have been identified and appropriate and adequate control monitoring and reporting mechanisms are in place; and

  • Ensuring there are policies and procedures for recruitment, training, remuneration and succession planning.

  • The Board has delegated responsibilities for day to day operation and administration of the Company to the Executive Chairman and key management personnel.

  • Consideration of reports from the Executive Chairman regarding management of material business risks.

The Board has received assurance from the Executive
Chairman and Chief Financial Officer that the declaration
provided in accordance with s295A of the Corporations Act
is founded on a sound system of risk management and
internal control and that the system is operating effectively
in all material respects in relation to financial reporting
risks.

Gender Composition

Gender composition of direct employees of AML and its
wholly owned subsidiaries, consultants and Board is as
follows.
follows.
Employees Board
Male Female Male
Female
Board
members 4
Employees 4 2
Consultants 1

Committees of the board

The Board of AML has established and continues to
operate the following committees:
  • Finance, Audit and Compliance Committee (FAC) chaired by Mr Brown with Messrs Andrews and Li as members; and

  • Remuneration and Appointments Committee (REM) chaired by Mr Shaw with Messrs Andrews and Li as members.

The committee terms of reference outline committee
responsibilities and are available on request.
Membership and attendance at Board Committees is
detailed in the Directors’ Report.

Independence of directors

It is important to have a Board of an effective composition,
size and commitment to adequately discharge its
responsibilities and duties. At the date of this report the
Board comprises the Executive Chairman, another
executive Director and three Non-Executive Directors.
The Directors met whenever necessary.

Internal controls framework and risk management

The Board is responsible for the overall business control
framework, but recognises that cost-effective control
systems will not necessarily preclude all errors and
irregularities.  To assist in discharging this responsibility,
the Board has instigated a Business Control Framework
designed to safeguard the Group’s assets and interests
and to ensure the integrity of reporting.  In addition, the
Board constantly monitors the operational and financial
aspects of the Company’s activities.  Through the Finance
and Audit Committee, the Board considers the
recommendations and advice of external auditors and
other external advisors on the operational and financial
risks that face the Company.
The Business Control Framework identifies risk
management as a key area which is subject to regular
reporting to the Board.  In addition, the Board investigates
ways of enhancing existing risk management strategies,
including appropriate segregation of duties, and the
employment and training of suitably qualified and
experienced personnel.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

ASX Second Edition “Corporate Governance
Principles and Recommendations” (as amended on 30
June 2010)
The following recommendations are made under the above
guidelines.

Recommendation 2.2

The chair should be an independent director
Recommendation 2.3:
The roles of chair and chief executive officer should not be
exercised by the same individual.
Recommendation 2.4:
The board should establish a nomination committee.
Recommendation 3.2
Companies should establish a policy concerning
(employment) diversity.
Recommendation 3.3
Disclose measurable objectives for achieving gender
diversity
Recommendation 4.2
The audit committee should be structured so that it:
However, if an individual Director requires separate advice
concerning the proper performance of his or her duties in
relation to the Company’s operations or undertakings then,
with the prior approval of the Chairman, that Director may
seek that advice at the Company’s expense. A copy of the
advice received by the Director must be made available to
all members of the Board.

Performance assessment

The Board reviews Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for
the Executive Chairman and the Management Team set on
an annual basis.   These annual KPIs are mutually agreed
by the employee and his/her supervisor. The KPIs reflect
the employee’s ability to add value to the entity by ensuring
productive gains such as increasing efficiencies, reduction
in costs and increased profitability by maximising sales
volumes and margins on sale revenues. Variable and long
term incentives will only be paid if set objectives are
achieved.
Non-Executive Directors do not receive any performance
incentive payments.
• consists only of non-executive directors
• consists of a majority of independent directors
• is chaired by an independent chair, who is not chair of the
board
• has at least three members.

Recommendation 8.2

The remuneration committee should be structured so that
it:
• consists of a majority of independent directors
• is chaired by an independent director

External auditor

The appointment of the external auditor, the audit fee, and
any questions of resignation or dismissal are considered
first by the FAC Committee.   The FAC Committee then
conveys its recommendation to the full Board.  Our current
external auditor was first appointed in 2008.  It is the policy
of our auditor to rotate audit engagement partners on listed
companies at least every five years.
• has at least three members.

Code of Conduct

The Company has not adopted these recommendations.
The board is highly cognisant of its fiduciary and corporate
governance responsibilities to shareholders. AML is a
company in the development stage of its products and
markets and as such generates limited revenue relying on
equity capital raisings for cash flow. There is only a small
Australian based work force.  There is great pressure to
satisfy the goals of successful commercialisation of its
proprietary alloy and magnesium production technologies
within the constraint of limited funding. It is a management
challenge quite different to the challenges confronting an
established business. The act of judiciously allocating
funding to the commercialisation tasks and management
practices is one that requires careful balance.
The current corporate governance practices have been
undertaken only after due consideration of this balance.

Remuneration

The overall role of the REM Committee is to ensure that
Company remuneration policies and practices are
consistent with the Company’s goals and objectives.
Written detailed terms of reference have been completed.
The remuneration of individual Directors and executives is
presented in the Directors’ Report and in Note 4 to the
financial statements.

Independent professional advice

When Board members require advice, it is sought as
advice for the full Board which will normally be arranged by
the Chairman at the request of the Board. Each member
has unrestricted access to that advice and may suggest
issues on which such advice should be sought.
As well as behaving according to the laws, rules and
regulations of various governing bodies, AML requires all
Board members, employees and consultants to behave
according to the general principles expressed in the next
paragraph. The principles are founded in the core values of
honesty, integrity and respect for people.
All directors, managers and staff are expected to act with
the utmost integrity and objectivity, in their dealings with
each other, competitors, suppliers, customers and the
community, striving at all times to enhance the reputation
and performance of the business. Every employee has a
nominated supervisor to whom they may refer any issues
arising from their employment.
The requirement to comply with these ethical standards is
taken as a matter of course and is emphasised to all
employees.

Continuous disclosure and shareholder communication

The Company has a written continuous disclosure policy.
The Company Secretary is responsible for communications
with the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), including
compliance with the ASX continuous disclosure
requirements.  These responsibilities are specified in the
Company Secretary’s written position description.  The
charter of the Finance, Audit and Compliance Committee
also specifically includes the review of compliance with
ASX and legal requirements.
Through regular shareholder communications such as the
Annual Report, Quarterly Reports, and periodic ASX
reports, the Board informs shareholders of significant

ADVANCED MAGNESIUM LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2011 | 4a

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

developments affecting the Company.  All
company announcements are immediately posted on the
company website.  Shareholders are explicitly
encouraged to attend general meetings in notices of
meeting.

Dealing in shares

The Company has a formal share dealing policy for all
employees, consultants and Directors. This policy
reinforces the restrictions in the Corporations Act 2001 with
respect to insider trading and use of price sensitive
information.  Under the terms of the policy applicable to
company staff, AML securities may only be sold or
purchased outside the restricted period. The restricted
period occurs during the following times:
  • Two weeks prior to a Board Meeting.

  • One month prior to the release of Half Year and Full Year Results to the ASX.

  • The period 3 weeks prior to the announcement of a capital raising by the company to the date of allotment of shares under such capital raising.

  • One week prior to the release of Quarterly Reports to the ASX.

If an individual needs to deal in the restricted period
because of a special need they are required to contact the
Company Secretary prior to entering into the transaction so
that Management can determine whether the proposed
dealing would be prohibited under the Corporations Act
2001.

2. REMUNERATION AT A GLANCE

Remuneration strategy

The Company uses a combination of cash and non cash mechanisms to remunerate KMP and consultants as a means of preserving its
limited cash resources. Following review by shareholders of the Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) at the 2010 AGM share options
were issued during 2010-2011 as both a reward and to act as a performance incentive. Shares issues are utilised in a similar fashion.
However, the issue of any shares to Directors and executives requires the approval of shareholders.

3. BOARD OVERSIGHT OF REMUNERATION

Remuneration Committee

The remuneration committee is responsible for making recommendations to the board on the remuneration arrangements for non-
executive directors (NEDs) and executives.
The remuneration committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of NEDs and executives on a
periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions, with the overall objective of ensuring maximum benefit from the
retention of its directors and executive team.

Remuneration approval process

The board approves the remuneration arrangements of the Executive Chairman and executives and all issue of options under the
Employee Share Option Plan following recommendations from the remuneration committee.
Remuneration structure
The structure of NED and executive remuneration is separate and distinct.

ADVANCED MAGNESIUM LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2011 | 7

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

4. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS

Remuneration Policy and Structure

The remuneration of NEDs consists of directors fees and committee fees. Options may only be issued to a Director pursuant to the
Employee Share Option Plan if the issue complies with the requirements (if any) of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules
Theaggregate amount of Non-Executive Directors’ fees is approved by Shareholders and is currently limited to $600,000 per annum.
Any increase must be approved by Shareholders. The Board decides how that aggregate or a lesser amount is divided between the
Directors.
Within the constraint of the aggregate $600,000 fees approved by Shareholders for Non-Executive Directors (NEDs), the Board has set
compensation at $49,050 per annum for each Non Executive Director (inclusive of any payments for superannuation). Effective from 1
April 2011, this amount has been revised to $25,000 per annum.
The Remuneration and Appointments Committee is currently reviewing NED’s remuneration.

5. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS

The Board of Directors’ policy on remuneration is as follows:
  • When an executive or an employee is recruited, the Group’s aim is to reward its staff at market rates within the manufacturing technology industry as determined and in consultation with a remuneration specialist;

  • The individual’s package is flexible and can incorporate salary sacrifice components making the individual’s package tax effective;

  • The aim of the remuneration policy is to retain key employees and to align employee interests with Company performance and Shareholders’ interests;

  • An Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) was established in October 2005 and modified at the 2010 AGM. The ESOP is utilised to

    • a. motivate key management personnel (KMP) to originate and innovate strategies for growth;

    • b. reward KMP for the satisfaction of positive strategic and financial outcomes; and

    • c. provide an adjunct to cash remuneration to preserve cash resources.

  • Staff remuneration has three components:

  • (i) Base or fixed remuneration;

  • (ii) Variable (at risk) performance (there were no bonuses awarded under this criterion during the year); and (iii) A long-term incentive in the form of options and/or share issues approved by shareholders..

  • Each KMP has a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) mutually agreed by the employee and the Executive Chairman/Board (as appropriate) on an annual basis. The KPIs reflect the employee’s ability to add value to the entity and increase shareholder wealth by such things as ensuring productive gains such as increasing efficiencies, reduction in costs and increased profitability by maximising sales volumes and margins on sale revenues

  • Variable and long term incentives will only be paid if set objectives are achieved.

No shares were issued by way of non cash remuneration in 2010-2011. However, the table below showing the remuneration of KMP for
2011 contemplates the issue of shares as shown in column 6. The issues are proposed as recognition for the satisfaction of major
financial and strategic targets achieved during 2011. The contemplated issues will be proposed by way of resolutions at the 2011 AGM.
Options as shown in Note 28 were awarded by way of remuneration during 2011.
Contractual arrangements with key executives are currently undergoing extensive review following the acquisition of Magontec GmbH in
July 2011.
This Board Policy will be reviewed periodically by the Remuneration and Appointments Committee. Where appropriate,
recommendations to the Board for variations will be made.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Structure

The Company’s limited resources mean that its remuneration structures must be simple. The arrangements therefore must balance
ease of administration with appropriate reward.  Any non cash mechanisms are confined to shares and options. Complex remuneration
packages involving after tax benefits are avoided. The issue of shares will be in terms of resolutions put to shareholders. Only a limited
number of KMP are eligible for the issue of options under the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP). Technical services tend
to be required by the Company on an irregular basis. There is a reliable base of technical consultants on which the Company can call
when the need arises. This avoids the cost of maintaining permanent resources.
In the 2011 financial year, the executive remuneration framework consisted of the following components:
  • fixed cash component;

  • non cash component; and

  • post employment benefits (superannuation and certain social benefits for Chinese personnel).

Remuneration for KMP in the year to 30 June 2011 is shown in the table below.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Value of Options Issued To Key Management Personnel

During the financial year Messrs Talbot and Abbott were awarded 600,000 and 300,000 options respectively under the Company’s
Employee Share Option Plan. The options vest on 16 February 2012. No options were exercised during the financial year.

Value of Options – Basis of Calculation

Under the Employee Share Option Plan approved on 4 October 2005, options allowing subscription of up to 5% of the issued share
capital of AML are available for issue to employees, with options over a further 5% of the issued share capital in the future based on
performance.
The options granted to employees on 16 August 2010 are unlisted options and exercisable at any time upon payment of the exercise
price of $0.10. They expire 3 years from issue on 16 August 2013. They will vest on 16 February 2012. A binomial model was used to
value these options at a theoretical cost of 18.9 cents each based on a volatility of 71%.
Notes 5 and 28 provide details of options awarded and vested.

6. COMPANY PERFORMANCE AND THE LINK TO REMUNERATION

During 2011 the Company’s management resources have been directed to the following high level tasks.
  • accommodating expansion plans for the Company’s joint venture vehicle in China (HNKWE) and monitoring progress to profitable trading;

  • developing a finance plan to accommodate the working capital needs of HNKWE;

  • further cost cutting within the direct AML group of companies;

  • maintaining a reasonable level of trialling and testing of AML’s proprietary alloys; and

  • negotiating and implementing the acquisition of Magontec GmbH. .

Rewards will be directed to those personnel who can directly or indirectly further the Company’s objectives of
  • cost efficiency;

  • market development; and

  • strategic development.

In combination these goals will enhance the profit and loss result and the company’s risk profile and chances for success.
The table below shows the historical relationship between remuneration for key management personnel and the company’s

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF 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, Australian Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the
Australian Accounting Standards Board.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report
containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian
Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and have
been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 30 August 2011.

Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards

In the current year, The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the
Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual
reporting period.

Basis of Preparation

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based of historical cost, modified, where applicable, by
the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. Cost is based on the
fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless
otherwise noted.

Going Concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis as the Directors do not believe there is any intention or
necessity to close the current operations or cease trading within twelve months from the reporting date.
The factors considered by the Directors in making this assessment, included:
  • a raising in excess of $2.5m (including underwriting) is likely to be achieved under the Securities Purchase Plan that will close on 31 August 2011;

  • cash resources in excess of $6,000,000 (including the proceeds so far collected under the SPP) are held as at the date of this report;

  • conservative projections of the operating activities in HNKWE and Magontec show adequate capacity to service liabilities;

  • broader business activities (now including alloy production, sacrificial anodes, recycling and electroplating) and reduced dependence on commercialisation of technologies; and

  • a broader business base (now including the Magontec Group) and reduced dependence on HNKWE.

The Directors and management are unable to predict the Company’s achievement of future outcomes with precision.
However, Directors consider the Company’s overall business risk has reduced and its prospects for success enhanced with
the strategic developments pursued since mid 2009

ADVANCED MAGNESIUM LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2011 | 21

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont…)

Significant Accounting Policies

The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial report:

(a) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash in banks at call and on deposit.

(b) 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 at 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.
Contributions to superannuation plans are expensed when incurred.

(c) Financial assets

Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less any allowance for
impairment
Other financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets ‘at fair value through
profit or loss’, ‘held-to-maturity’ investments, ‘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.

Receivables

Trade receivables and other receivables are recognised initially at their fair values and subsequently at amortised
cost less impairment.

(d) Financial instruments issued by the Company

Debt and equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments are classified 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 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.

(e) Foreign currency

Foreign Currency Transactions
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 are translated at the year end exchange rate. Non-
monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate prevailing at the date when the fair value
was determined.
Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except that exchange
differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither
planned or likely to occur, which form part of the net investment in a foreign operation, are recognised in the foreign
currency translation reserve and recognised in profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.

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.

ADVANCED MAGNESIUM LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2011 | 22

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont…)

(f) Goods and Services Tax and Value Added Tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) or value added
tax (VAT) for certain foreign jurisdictions, except where the GST or VAT is not recoverable from the relevant tax
authority. In these circumstances the GST or VAT is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as
part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST or VAT component of cash flows
arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is
classified as operating cash flows.

(g) Impairment of 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 been impaired. If any such indication exists, the
recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is
compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is
expensed to the income statement.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the consolidated entity estimates
the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

(h) 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 to the
extent that it is unpaid.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on 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.
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.
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 calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the
asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date.
Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects 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.

Current and Deferred Tax for the Period

Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the income statement, except when it relates to
items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is recognised directly in equity, or where it
arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the
determination of goodwill or excess.
Tax Consolidation
The Company and all its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries are part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian
tax consolidation legislation. Advanced Magnesium Limited is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group. Tax
expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members
of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax-
consolidated group using the ‘stand-alone taxpayer’ approach.  Current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax
assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised
by the company (as head entity in the tax-consolidated group).

ADVANCED MAGNESIUM LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2011 | 23

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont…)

Due to the existence of a tax funding arrangement between the entities in the tax-consolidated group, amounts are
recognised as payable to or receivable by the company and each member of the group in relation to the tax
contribution amounts paid or payable between the parent entity and the other members of the tax-consolidated
group in accordance with the arrangement. Further information about the tax funding arrangement is detailed in
Note 3 to the financial statements. Where the tax contribution amount recognised by each member of the tax-
consolidated group for a particular period is different to the aggregate of the current tax liability or asset and any
deferred tax asset arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in respect of that period, the difference is
recognised as a contribution from (or distribution to) equity participants.

(i) Intangible assets

Patents, Trademarks and Licences

Patents, trademarks and licences are recorded at cost of acquisition. Patents and trademarks have a finite life and
are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Such intangibles are also subject to
the impairment tests as outlined in (g) above.
Research and Development Costs
Expenditure on research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are
capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project is expected to deliver future economic
benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably.

(j) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned to inventory on hand by
the method most appropriate to each particular class of inventory, being valued on a first in first out basis. Net
realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be
incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

(k) Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases where the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards
of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where
another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased
asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period
in which they are incurred.

Lease incentives

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a
liability. The aggregate benefits of incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line
basis over the life of the lease term.

(l) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount
and fair value less costs to sell.
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered
through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale
is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. The sale
of the asset (or disposal group) is expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification.

(m) 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.

(n) Presentation currency

The presentation and functional currency of the AML Group is Australian dollars.

ADVANCED MAGNESIUM LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2011 | 24

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont…)

(o) Principles of consolidation and investments in subsidiaries

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 23 to the financial statements. Consistent accounting policies are employed in the preparation and
presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
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. Similarly, any excess of the fair market value over the cost of acquisition is recognised as a
discount upon acquisition.
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.

(p) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are 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.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate,
only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of
the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during
the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is provided on plant and equipment and is calculated on a straight line basis 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. Leasehold
improvements are depreciated over the period of the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is the shorter, using
the straight line method. The assets’ estimated useful lives and residual values is reviewed, and adjusted if
appropriate, at the end of each annual reporting period.
The weighted average useful life applied to plant and equipment is 13.28 years.

(q) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past
events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably
measured.

(r) Revenue recognition

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the consolidated entity has transferred to the buyer the
significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods.

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.

Interest revenue

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

(s) Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based payments granted after 7 November 2002 that were unvested as of 1 July 2005, are
measured at fair value at the date of grant. 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 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont…)

(t) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in this note, management is required to
make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and
various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of
the revision and future periods if the revision affects both the current and future periods.

(u) Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards

During the current year the Group adopted all of the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and
Interpretations applicable to its operations which became mandatory.
The adoption of these standards has impacted the recognition, measurement and disclosure of certain transactions.
The following is an explanation of the impact the adoption of these standards and interpretations has had on the
financial statements of Advanced Magnesium Limited.

AASB 8: Operating Segments

In February 2007 the Australian Accounting
Standards Board issued AASB 8 which
replaced AASB 114: Segment Reporting. As a
result, some of the required operating segment
disclosures have changed with the addition of
a possible impact on the impairment testing of
goodwill allocated to the cash generating units
(CGUs) of the entity.

Measurement impact

Identification and measurement of segments – AASB 8
requires the ‘management approach’ to the identification
measurement and disclosure of operating segments. The
‘management approach’ requires that operating segments
be identified on the basis of internal reports that are
regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision
maker, for the purpose of allocating resources and
assessing performance. This could also include the
identification of operating segments which sell primarily or
exclusively to other internal operating segments. Under
AASB 114, segments were identified by business and
geographical areas, and only segments deriving revenue
from external sources were considered.
The adoption of the ‘management approach’ to segment
reporting has resulted in the identification of reportable
segments which are different to the prior year.

Impairment testing of the segment’s goodwill

AASB 136: Impairment of Assets, paragraph 80 requires
that goodwill acquired in a business combination shall be
allocated to each of the acquirer’s CGUs, or group of CGUs
that are expected to benefit from synergies of the
combination. Each CGU which the goodwill is allocated to
must represent the lowest level within the entity at which
goodwill is monitored, however it cannot be larger than an
operating segment. Therefore, due to the changes in the
identification of segments, there is a risk that goodwill
previously allocated to a CGU which was part of a larger
segment could now be allocated across multiple segments
if a segment had to be split as a result on changes to AASB
8.
Management have considered the requirements of AASB
136 and determined the implementation of AASB 8 has not
impacted the CGU’s of each operating segment.

Disclosure impact

AASB 8 requires a number of additional quantitative and
qualitative disclosures, not previously required under AASB
114, where such information is utilised by the chief
operating decision maker. This information is now disclosed
as part of the financial statements.

ADVANCED MAGNESIUM LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2011 | 26

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods

The AASB has issued new and amended
accounting standards and interpretations
that have mandatory application dates for
future reporting periods. The Group has
decided against early adoption of these
standards.
  • AASB 9: Financial Instruments and AASB 2009-11: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 102, 108, 112, 118, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 136, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 10 & 12] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).
These standards are applied retrospectively and
amend the classification and measurement of
financial assets. The Group has not yet determined
the potential impact on the financial statements.
The changes made to accounting requirements
include:
  • simplifying the classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried at fair value;

  • simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives;

  • removing the tainting rules associated with held to maturity assets;

  • removing the requirements to separate and fair value embedded derivatives for financial assets carried at amortised cost

  • allowing 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 profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument; and

  • reclassifying financial assets where there is a change in an entity’s business model as they are initially classified based on:

    • a. the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets;

    • b. the characteristics of the contractual cash flows.

  • AASB 2009-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Rights Issues [AASB 132] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 February 2010).

   These amendments clarify that rights, options or
warrants to acquire a fixed number of an entity’s own
equity instruments for a fixed amount in any currency
are equity instruments if the entity offers the rights,
options or warrants pro-rata to all existing owners of the
same class of its non-derivative equity instruments.
These amendments are not expected to impact the
Group.

The tax rate used in the above reconciliation is the corporate tax rate of 30% payable by Australian corporate entities on taxable profits
under Australian tax law.  There has been no change in the corporate tax rate when compared with the previous report.

Tax Consolidation

Relevance of tax consolidation to the consolidated entity

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax-consolidated group with effect from 1 February
2003 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Advanced
Magnesium Limited. The members of the tax-consolidated group are identified at Note 26.

ADVANCED MAGNESIUM LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2011 | 29

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3 INCOME TAXES (cont…)

Nature of tax funding arrangements and tax sharing agreements

Entities within the tax-consolidated group have entered into a tax funding arrangement and a tax-sharing agreement with the head
entity. Under the terms of the tax funding arrangement, Advanced Magnesium Limited and each of the entities in the tax-consolidated
group has agreed to pay a tax equivalent payment to or from the head entity, based on the current tax liability or current tax asset of
the entity. Such amounts are reflected in amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax-consolidated group.
The tax sharing agreement entered into between members of the tax-consolidated group provides for the determination of the
allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. No amounts have
been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this agreement as payment of any amounts under the tax sharing agreement
is considered remote.

Non-recognition of deferred tax assets


Unrecognised deferred tax balances
The following deferred tax assets have not been brought to account as
assets:
DTA on pre-tax consolidation revenue losses
DTA on post-tax consolidation revenue losses
DTA on capital losses
These are based on the following tax losses:
Tax losses – revenue pre-tax consolidation
Tax losses – revenue post-tax consolidation
Tax losses – capital

The benefit from the deferred tax asset in respect of unused tax losses will only be obtained if:
(a)The tax consolidated group derives future assessable income of a nature and amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be
realised;
(b) the consolidated group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the tax law; and
(c) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the consolidated group in realising the benefit of the losses.
No deferred tax asset has been brought to account as an asset because it is not probable that taxable profit will be available against
which such an asset could be utilised.
Unused tax losses incurred after the formation of the AML consolidated group ($116,303,429) will be fully available to offset future
taxable income to the extent AML continues to satisfy the loss integrity rules (i.e. Continuity of Ownership Test and Same Business
Test). Based on testing performed by AML and its advisors, these losses should satisfy the loss integrity rules as at 30 June 2011.
Unused tax losses incurred prior to the formation of the AML consolidated group ($271,936,272) will be subject to restricted use
(Available Fraction rules). These restrictions on use are in addition to the loss integrity rules. Broadly, the Available Fraction rules limit
the amount of losses that can be used each year by applying the following formula:
Available Fraction x Taxable income for year = Pre consolidation losses available for use for year
Based on testing performed by AML and its advisors, AML’s pre consolidation losses should satisfy the loss integrity rules at 30 June
2011 subject to further testing and continued compliance with loss integrity rules. No detailed Available Fraction calculations have
been performed as at 30 June 2011, however it is unlikely that the Available Fraction applying to pre-consolidation tax losses will be
greater than 0.2.
The Australian tax consolidated entity has not paid income tax up to 30 June 2011 and no income tax is expected  to be paid prior to
30 June 2011. Accordingly, there are no franking credits available for distribution in the year ending 30 June 2011.

Tax outside of Australian tax consolidation regime

The Group has several overseas entities which are not subject to Australian tax consolidation and are therefore not sheltered by
Australian tax losses. Those entities may incur income tax based on local corporate tax law and are subject to the local jurisdiction.

NOTE 5 SHARE PAYMENT SCHEMES

5.1 Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP)

On 4 October 2005 an ESOP was approved. Options allowing subscription of up to 5% of the issued share capital of AML
are available for issue to employees, with options over a further 5% of the issued share capital in the future based on
performance. The unforfeited 100,000 options issued on 13 October 2005 with an exercise price of $0.31 lapsed on 13
October 2010.
The total options issued to employees during 2011 were 1,680,000 – although at 30 June 2011 only 1,380,000 remain
unforfeited. These are unlisted options exercisable at any time to 16 August 2013 upon payment of the exercise price of
$0.10. They expire on 16 August 2013 (3 years from issue).

5.2 Option Compensation to Executive Chairman

1. This liability arises under the joint venture arrangements signed on 16 June 2009 between AML and its Chinese partners to form
Henan Keweier Alloy Materials Co Ltd.  At the time, the joint venture assets had been developed to an advanced state. Considerable
planning, administrative and negotiating effort (as well as capital) had been expended by the Chinese partners in developing what was
to become the joint venture assets. In recognition of that effort AML, agreed that the partners be paid a development fee of
RMB7,000,000. The fee will be paid in 5 instalments of RMB1,400,000. The first instalment is to be paid on 30 June 2014. Subsequent
instalments of the fee will be paid each 6 months thereafter with the final instalment to be paid on 30 June 2016.

NOTE 24 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS

1.Advanced Magnesium Technologies Pty Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AML, had entered into a contract with IMS
Experts-Conseils, Inc (IMS) a Canadian corporation, for the licensing of technology to AMT for the Stanwell Magnesium
Project. IMS claimed licensing fee installments due on dates after the contract terminated. Export Development Canada
(EDC) a Canadian Government entity, is a provider of trade credit insurance and insured IMS on accounts receivable
under its contract with AMT. EDC has advised it paid an amount of C$410,000 (A$439,000) to IMS and now claims that
amount from AMT as IMS has assigned its rights to EDC. This contingent liability was first disclosed in the 31 December 2003 half year
report. The Directors continue to believe neither IMS, nor EDC as the assignee of IMS’ rights, has a valid claim against AMT. AMT will
defend any such claim if action is taken against it. In the year to 30 June 2011 (and to the date of this report) no correspondence has
issued to or been received from EDC. Given the passage of time, the Directors are of the opinion action is unlikely.
2. HNKWE has entered into a marketing arrangement with an individual domiciled in China. The arrangement requires the individual to
develop and deliver a long term contractual arrangement between HNKWE and a specific large international buyer of alloy. If the
contractual relationship crystallises, HNKWE and AML will make available to the Chinese individual 1.8% of the total equity in HNKWE.
Each of AML and HNKWE will give up their pro rata share of 1.8% ie AML 53% of 1.8% and HNKWE 47% of 1.8%.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 30 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a) Capital Risk Management

The Consolidated entity and the company (“Group”) manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a
going concern while maximising the potential future return to stakeholders through the development and marketing of the Group’s
technologies.
The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and cash equivalents, equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising
issued capital, reserves and accumulated losses as disclosed in notes 20, 21, and 22 respectively and debt funding provided by
Chinese banks (note 15).
The group’s main financial risk management issues is
  • ensuring the integrity of debtors;

  • planning for production capacity expansion in HNKWE and the consequential capital expenditure and the added working capital requirement;

  • Continued availability of debt funding.

The Group operates globally, primarily through subsidiary companies established in the markets in which the Group trades.  None of the
Group’s entities are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

(b) Financial risk management objectives

The magnesium alloy industry operates with a disparity of trade terms on the purchase of production inputs (generally not better than 15
days) and the sale of output (up to 120 days). The Group’s senior management effort is aimed at firstly, arranging funding for
approximately RMB5,100 per tonne in working capital and secondly, negotiating with purchasers and buyers  the best available terms.
As the operation in China gains momentum and a trading history so it will be able to attract debt funding. This in turn will take pressure
off the equity providers but introduce other risk management issues. The magnesium industry currently does not have the scale where
derivative risk instruments are available.
The Group’s senior management team co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the
financial risks relating to the operations of the Group in line with the Group’s policies.  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 consolidated entity does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative
purposes.

(c) Significant accounting policies

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and
the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity
instrument are disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements.

(e) Market risk

Refer comments under headings a and b of Note 30.

(f) Foreign currency risk management

The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies, hence exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise.
Foreign currency is required to fund operations in China, Europe and USA. Holdings of USD, EUR and RMB are maintained by the
subsidiaries in the respective jurisdictions to meet one month’s operating needs. Cash flow budgeting aids the management of
capital to optimise interest earnings and at the same time forecast the need for cash in foreign currencies.
The carrying amount of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting date is as
follows.

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Group has exposure to three currencies – the United States Dollar, the Euro and the Chinese Yuan.
The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and 10% decrease in the Australian Dollar against the relevant
foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and
represents management’s assessment of the possible change in foreign exchange rates over the medium term. The sensitivity analysis
includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10%
change in foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes loans to foreign operations within the Group where the denomination
of the loan is in a currency other than the currency of the lender or the borrower.
A positive number in the table below indicates an increase in profit or a decrease in loss and other equity where the Australian Dollar
strengthens against the respective currency.  A negative number in the table below indicates a decrease in profit or an increase in loss
and other equity where the Australian Dollar weakens against the respective currency.

  • (ii) Exposure to EUR represented by net liabilities of EUR35,300 in respect of 2011 (exposure on net liabilities of EUR4,556 in 2010)

(iii) Exposure to RMB is represented by net assets of RMB39,753,735 in respect of 2011 (exposure on net assets of
RMB20,550,460 in 2010)
The Group’s sensitivity to foreign currency has increased during the current period due to increased holdings of cash and other assets
essentially in China.

(g) Capital Management and Interest rate risk management

The consolidated entity has borrowings of $8,171,246 (refer Note 15). The short term nature of these borrowings represents a refinance
risk to the Company. The Company is addressing this risk by exploring with an Australian bank the possibility of arranging a global debt
facility. Currently, the Company is exposed to interest rate movements on the refinance of these facilities.  Interest rate risk may arise in
the proper management of surplus funds. Maintenance of sound forward budgets will assist the appropriate nomination of the duration
of invested funds.

(h) Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The
Group has adopted a policy of as far as possible dealing with creditworthy counterparties – an ideal not always possible in a product
development environment. The use of collateral or other contributions can act as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from
defaults. Credit exposure is controlled by limits that are continually reviewed.
The debtor risk is against two counter parities – both Chinese domestic buyers. Stock supplied by HNKW to those debtors is in turn
supplied to a significant international die cast company whose credit risk is deemed to be satisfactory. The exposure on debtor
collection by HNKWE is generally to parties involved in the metals die cast industry.  The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because
the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, represents the Group’s
maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained.

(i) Liquidity risk management

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and banking facilities by continuously monitoring
forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
(j) Fair value of financial instruments
The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the financial
statements approximates their fair values.

NOTE 31 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On 4 July 2011, Advanced Magnesium Limited (AML) acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of Varomet Holdings Limited, the holding
company for the Magontec Group (Magontec) businesses, for the total consideration transferred of $5,595,501. Magontec is a leading
magnesium alloy manufacturer and the largest magnesium anode manufacturer in the World. The acquisition provides AML with the
opportunity to:
  • Leverage its existing magnesium alloy technology portfolio to accelerate the development of a profitable proprietary alloy manufacturing and recycling business.

  • Acquire highly experienced magnesium industry management and expertise and a well-recognised industry leading magnesium alloy brand name.

  • Become immediately profitable.

  • Expand on-going financial and technical support for AML’s portfolio of magnesium alloy technologies in a broader based entity with a greater ability to commercialise these assets.

  • Become the World’s leading magnesium alloy manufacturing company, drive new growth in magnesium applications in the automotive and 3C (cell phones, computers and cameras) industries and more effectively manage global magnesium industry geopolitical risks.

  • Make further investment in the anode business.

  • Develop a business base capable of acquiring other targeted magnesium industry assets.

Among the many financial, strategic and resource issues contemplated by AML in evaluating the merits of acquiring the Magontec
Group was the following balance sheet as at 30 June 2011 extracted from management accounts.
Current assets Fair Value

Convertible Loan Note(CLN) * issued to SMM $3,368,047
Total Consideration $5,595,501
  • *Key Conditions of the CLN:

  • No interest is payable before 4 July 2012

  • No interest is payable after 4 July 2012 if shareholders of AML pass a resolution in a general meeting approving the availability of an option for Straits Mine Management Pty Ltd (SMM) to convert any amount outstanding under the CLN into shares in AML.

  • If such resolution is not passed by 4 July 2012 the amount then outstanding under the CLN will attract interest at the 6 month bank bill swap (BBSW) rate plus a margin of 4%.

ADVANCED MAGNESIUM LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2011 |50

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  • AML must pay the amount owing under the CLN by 4 July 2012.

  • Dependent on the availability of the option, SMM may on, or after 4 July 2012, convert any amount then outstanding under the CLN into shares in AML at a price of $0.055 per share.

It should be noted that the pro forma balance sheet above is still subject to audit and therefore the ultimate effect on the AML group
balance sheet on the day of acquisition (4 July 2011) is subject to change.
Being acquired after the end of the financial year, the Magontec group contributed revenues of $Nil and profit after tax of $Nil to the
consolidated entity for the period from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2010, the full year
contributions (based on unaudited management accounts) would have been
EBITDA $3,947,027
EBIT $2,310,988
Profit/(loss) before tax $1,073,040
Income tax (expense)/benefit ($696,724)
Profit/(loss) after tax $376,315
The above result includes an extraordinary expense of $466,000 in respect of the write down of the deferred tax asset in anticipation of
the loss of carried forward tax losses following change of ownership of the Magontec Group  to AML.
As at the date of acquisition by AML, Magontec owed SMM USD13,784,935. These funds had been used to partially satisfy both
equity investments in group subsidiaries and working capital requirements. On 4 July 2011, AML and SMM agreed that this amount
would translate to AUD12,855,603. Prior to the acquisition, all Magontec bank debt was restructured to a limited recourse basis
pending AML’s review of a global lending facility. The amount owing to SMM is governed by the terms of a Consolidated Loan
Agreement (CLA) which has the following key conditions:
  • i. Interest is due each 6 months with the first payment due 4 January 2012

  • ii. The interest rate apply for a given 6 month period is the 6 month BBSW rate at the commemcement of the 6 month plus a margin of:

  • 2.5% in the period to 4 July 2013; and

  • 3.5% thereafter.

  • iii. The debt is due for repayment on 4 July 2014 or such later date as the parties agree.

  • iv. Principal repayments are to be effected from two sources:

  • A minimum part of the proceeds from the current SPP is to be applied to the CLA as follows - 50% of gross proceeds of the SPP less AUD1,700,000

  • To the extent permitted by dividend payments from its subsidiaries, Varomet must pay SMM an amount equal to 50% of the net profit after tax plus depreciation and amortisation recorded in the consolidated accounts of Varomet in each half year.

The obligations of Varomet to SMM under the CLA are guaranteed by both AML and Magontec GmbH.
