OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Group Overview

During the year the Group:

  • acquired the 1,230,000 oz Norseman Gold Project through the acquisition of 100% of the issued capital of Australian Gold Investments Pty Ltd (now Australian Strategic and Precious Metals Investments Pty Ltd) through the issue of 50,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares, a total of $3,000,000 8% convertible notes and $2,500,000 cash;

  • commenced a drilling campaign with the aim of upgrading the existing Norseman Project gold resources;

  • commenced exploration at the Clinker Hill nickel project;

  • commenced production of gold and silver from the Jackpot Gold Mine and received gross proceeds of $1,290,000 from the sale of 1,603 ounces of gold;

  • completed mining at the Jackpot Gold Mine with further proceeds to be received from the sale of gold and silver produced from the ore stockpiles in the first quarter of the 2008 financial year;

  • sold the Company’s uranium assets and Siberia Project for $1,795,000 cash and 2,000,000 shares in Burey Gold Ltd;

  • issued 48,645,694 shares with 24,322,847 free attaching listed options to raise $4,865,000 through an Entitlement Issue; and

  • placed 17,100,000 shares with 13,600,000 free attaching listed options with sophisticated investors to raise $2,210,000.

Norseman Gold Project

The Company acquired 100% of the issued capital of Australian Gold Investments Pty Ltd (now Australian Strategic and Precious Metals Investments Pty Ltd (‘ASPMI’)), which is the sole registered and beneficial owner of the Norseman Gold Project, in March 2007.

The Norseman Gold Project covers 124 square kilometres of the prolific South Yilgarn Greenstone belt of the Eastern Goldfields in Western Australia. Norseman is the southernmost gold mining centre of the Norseman to Wiluna gold belt which hosts an endowment of over 270 million ounces of gold. The Norseman region has been a major gold producer with production in excess of 5,500,000 ounces of gold from 1935.

The Norseman Gold Project contains a number of mineral resources at the Mt Henry, Selene and Scotia deposits where there are currently total inferred resources of 1,230,000 ounces of gold at a 0.7 grams/tonne cut-off.

In April 2007 a drilling campaign was commenced at the Norseman Gold Project with the objective of the program being to upgrade and increase the mineral resources at the Mt Henry, Selene and North Scotia deposits. Encouraging results were received in early July 2007 and the data acquired from this drilling programme is now being modelled as part of the Company’s latest JORC resource calculations at the Mt Henry deposit and has allowed further drill hole planning for the Selene deposit. Some of the more significant intersections were:

The data acquired from this drilling campaign will now be used to commence resource upgrade work at the Mt Henry deposit and allow further drill hole planning for the Selene and North Scotia deposits.

Jackpot Gold Mine

The first gold was produced from the Jackpot Gold Mine in August 2006. The following table summarises mining activities at the Jackpot Mine during the year:

Recovery (%) 93.9 - - -

Mining at Jackpot was completed in July 2007 with the stockpiled ore being milled in to produce 3,710oz of gold in September 2007. The completion of mining activities frees up the Company’s technical resources for the exploration and development of the Norseman Gold Project.

Clinker Hill Nickel Project

The Clinker Hill Project is located in a favourable geological setting on the western margin of the Bulong Ultramafic complex. The historic gold mining centre of Bulong is to the north of the project, the Blair nickel mine is 10 kilometres to the west and the Carnilya Hill nickel mine is 20 kilometres to the south.

Positive results were received from a soil sampling program at its Clinker Hill nickel project. The results show a significant 700ppm nickel anomaly that measures 900 metres by 100 metres in a possibly favourable embayment in the basal contact. The program has also identified a 400ppm nickel anomaly which extends five kilometres along the basal contact. Both anomalies are coincident with copper, PGE’s (platinum group elements) and cobalt. These results demonstrate the strong potential for nickel sulphide mineralisation at Clinker Hill.

In September 2007, the Company undertook the next step in the systematic exploration of the Clinker Hill Project in commencing a geochemistry sampling program to identify the extent of the nickel anomalism in the northern and south western section of the project area. A program of geophysics will then be initiated to identify conductive sulphide bodies to assist with RC exploration drill targets on the project.

Sale of Uranium Assets and Siberia Project

The sale of the Company’s rights, title and interest in its uranium assets to Burey Gold Ltd (‘Burey Gold’) was restructured such that the consideration to be received by the Company consisted of

  • 5 -

KALGOORLIE-BOULDER RESOURCES LTD

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

$1,750,000 in cash and 2,000,000 Burey Gold shares. The $1,750,000 was received in June 2007 and the 2,000,000 Burey Gold shares were received in September 2007.

In June 2007, the Company sold the prospecting licences and mining lease applications which comprise its Siberia Project to Halcyon Group Ltd for $45,000 (plus GST) plus a gold and nickel royalty.

Other Gold and Base Metals Projects

The Company’s other projects, Broad Arrow, Dunnsville and Lake Johnston, have had limited work conducted on them. With the Company’s main focus at Norseman and Clinker Hill, these projects will be evaluated for either further exploration, joint venture or disposal.

Oil and Gas

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, KAL Energy Pty Ltd, entered into an agreement with Metro Energy Group Inc. (‘Metro Energy’) to acquire a 75 percent Working Interest (56.25 percent Net Revenue Interest) in oil and gas leases covering 640 acres in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, USA. The transaction was completed with the payment of the final instalment in August 2006 and the leases were assigned to USA KAL Energy Inc, a US incorporated wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in January 2007.

During the previous financial year the Company accepted an offer to dispose of its interests in the Wilson Prospect. The agreement to dispose of the Company’s interests in the Wilson Prospect was terminated by mutual consent in August 2006.

Production testing continued during the year. Metro Energy, the operator, is considering the most appropriate completion technique(s) for the several productive zones identified in the Wilson #3-10. This will include consideration of the completion of the Woodforde Shale, a known gas producer in the region.

The Directors are continuing to pursue the orderly divestment of the Company’s United States oil and gas assets.

Operating Results for the Year

The Group’s net loss for the year after income tax is $3,532,000 (2006: $978,000).

The Group’s net loss for the year includes the following items:

  • net gain on disposal of uranium assets and Siberia Project of $2,210,000 (2006: nil); and

  • impairment losses of $3,905,000 (2006: nil) of which $3,866,000 is attributable to the Company's US oil and gas project.

Review of Financial Condition

The net assets of the Group have increased by $7,498,000 from 30 June 2006 to $12,901,000 at the same date in 2007. This has largely resulted from the acquisition of the Norseman Gold Project and was partly offset by providing for impairment of the Group’s oil and gas assets.

At 30 June 2007, there is a net deficiency in working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $527,000. This deficit includes inventories which are recorded at cost rather than realisable value and the $3,000,000 convertible notes payable to RASL AU LLC, a wholly-owned company of Richard Alter and Stanley Lewis, directors of the Company and holders of 50,000,000 shares in the Company.

The Company raised $7,075,000 from the issue of shares during the financial year in addition to receiving $1,292,000 from the sale of gold and $1,795,000 from the divestment of its uranium assets and Siberia Project. These proceeds were used, in addition to funding operations and working capital requirements, to repay an interest-bearing loan plus accrued interest of $814,000, pay the final instalment on the acquisition of the oil and gas leases of $997,000, and acquire the Norseman Gold Project.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE

Mining at the Jackpot Gold Mine was completed in July 2007 with 43,866 dry tonnes being milled at a grade of 2.83 g/t with recovery at 92.93% for production of 3,710oz Au. Milling was completed in September 2007 with approximately $3,000,000 being received from the sale of the gold produced.

The 2,000,000 Burey Gold shares, received as part consideration for the sale of the Group’s uranium assets, were issued to the Company in September 2007.

Other than stated above, no matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the group in future financial years.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The group’s strategic focus is primarily the development of the Norseman Gold Project. A drilling campaign has commenced at the Norseman Gold Project with encouraging results being received from the initial drilling. It is expected this initial drilling campaign will be completed during 2007.

The objective of the drilling campaign is to upgrade and increase the mineral resources at the Mt Henry, Selene and North Scotia deposits where there is currently a total inferred resource of 1.23 million ounces of gold at a 0.7 g/t cut-off. The data acquired from the initial drilling will be used to commence resource upgrade work at the Mt Henry deposit and allow further drill hole planning for the Selene and North Scotia deposits.

An indicative timetable of key milestones associated with the Norseman Gold Project for calendar year 2007 is:

Event Date
First exploration drilling results July 2007
Commence Norseman scoping study Q3 2007
Further exploration drilling results Second half 2007
Complete initial exploration drilling program December 2007
Upgraded JORC resource statement December 2007
Complete Norseman scoping study December 2007

As detailed above, the drilling results were received in early July 2007 and the data acquired from this drilling programme is now being modelled as part of the Company’s latest JORC resource calculations at the Mt Henry deposit and has allowed further drill hole planning for the Selene.

In September 2007, the Company commenced a 5,000 metre drilling programme which targets extensions of the existing inferred resources already delineated at Mt Henry and Selene as well as three highly prospective areas within the Norseman project area at Break O Day, Telegraph and Everlasting. This drilling programme is part of the 2007 drilling programme that is aiming to upgrade and increase the significant JORC mineral resources at Norseman. This work forms an integral component of the Company’s ongoing scoping study into the development of the project.

The Company’s second priority project is the Clinker Hill Nickel Project. Following the positive results form a soil sampling program, it is intended to commence a geochemistry program to identify the extent of the nickel anomalism in the north west section of the project area. A program of geophysics will then be initiated to identify conductive sulphide bodies to assist with RC exploration drill targets on the project.

The directors will continue to pursue opportunities to realise value from the Company’s other gold and base metals assets and its investment in the oil and gas leases in the United States.

KALGOORLIE-BOULDER RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

1. Corporate information

The financial report of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Resources Ltd (the ‘Company’) for the year ended 30 June 2007 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 28 September 2007.

Kalgoorlie-Boulder Resources Ltd is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards. The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for exploration and evaluation assets which have been measured at fair value.

The financial report of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Resources Ltd complies with all Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘AIFRS’) in their entirety. Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) in their entirety.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000) unless otherwise stated under the option available to the Company under ASIC Class Order 98/0100. The Company is an entity to which the class order applies.

Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company and consolidated entity have each incurred a net loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2007 of $3,500,000 (2006: $978,000) and experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,900,000 and $1,800,000 respectively (2006: $424,000 and $426,000).

The Company processed the remainder of the ore mined from its Jackpot gold mine in August and September 2007 and received approximately $3,000,000 gross proceeds from the sale of gold in September 2007. The Company also received $45,000 from the sale of its Siberia Project in July 2007.

The ability of the Company and the consolidated entity to continue as going concerns and to pay their debts as and when they fall due is dependent on the following the ability of the Company and the consolidated entity to secure further working capital by the issue of additional equities, debt, the sale of non-core assets, or a combination of debt, equity and/or the sale of assets.

The directors have reviewed the business outlook and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the Company and consolidated entity will achieve the matters set out above.

Notwithstanding this, there is significant uncertainty whether the Company and the consolidated entity will be able to continue as going concerns.

Should the Company and the consolidated entity be unable to continue as going concerns, they may be required to realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report.

  • 21 -

KALGOORLIE-BOULDER RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company and the consolidated entity be unable to continue as going concerns.

Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards

Except for the amendments to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , which the Group has early adopted, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2007. The Group’s and Company’s assessment of the impact of these new accounting standards and interpretations are:

AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and ASSB 2005-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (AASB 132, AASB 101, AASB 114, AASB 117, AASB 133, AASB 139, AASB 1, AASB 4, AASB 1023 and AASB 1038) – AASB 7 and AASB 2005-10 are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. The Group has not adopted the standards early. Application of the standards will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements, but will impact the type of information disclosed to the Group’s and the Company’s financial statements.

(a) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Resources Ltd and its subsidiaries as at 30 June each year (the ‘Group’).

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has power to govern the financial and operating policies of so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether a group controls another entity.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, under consistent accounting policies.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-company balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

(b) Business combinations

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the combination. Where equity instruments are issued in a business combination, the fair value of the instruments is their published market price at the date of exchange unless, in rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator of fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.

Except for non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale (which are measured at fair value less costs to sell), all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of the

  • 22 -

KALGOORLIE-BOULDER RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

business combination over the net fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary, the difference is recognised as a gain in the income statement, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

Where settlement of any part of consideration is deferred, the amount payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

  • (c) Segment reporting

A business segment is a distinguishable component of the entity that is engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different to those of other business segments. A geographical segment is a distinguishable component of the entity that is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment and is subject to risks and returns that are different than those of segments operating in other economic environments.

(d) Foreign currency transactions and balances

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the consolidated entity’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

Transaction and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the Income Statement, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the Income Statement.

Foreign operations

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the economic entity’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

  • Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date.

  • Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period.

  • Retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the economic entity’s foreign currency translation reserve in the Balance Sheet. These differences are recognised in the Income Statement in the period in which the operation is disposed.

(e) Financial instruments

Recognition

Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management and within the requirements of AASB 139: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments . Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these assets are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Held-to-maturity investments

These investments have fixed maturities, and it is the economic entity’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. Any held-to-maturity investments held by the consolidated entity are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

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.

Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.

Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the economic entity assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. Impairment issues are recognised in the Income Statement.

(f) Leases

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

(g) Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed.

KALGOORLIE-BOULDER RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

(h) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits held at call with banks with maturity dates of less than 3 months.

(i) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.

Collectibility of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An allowance for doubtful debts is raised when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect the debt.

(j) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs, including an appropriate portion of fixed and variable overhead expenses, are assigned to inventory on hand by the method most appropriate to each particular class of inventory. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

(k) Financial assets

Investments are recognised and derecognised on trade date where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss which are initially recognised at fair value.

Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost in the company financial statements.

(l) Interests in Joint Ventures

The Group’s share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint venture operations are included in the appropriate items of the consolidated financial statements. Details of the Group’s interest are shown at Note 21.

(m) Property, plant and equipment

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

Property

Land and buildings are measured on the cost basis.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

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

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

  • 25 -

KALGOORLIE-BOULDER RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

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

Class of FixedAsset Depreciation Rate
Land nil
Plant and equipment 33.3%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

(n) Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied:

  • (i) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and

  • (ii) at least one of the following conditions is also met:

  • (a) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; and

  • (b) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortisation of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (or the interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.

Where a decision is made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to ‘development’.

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.

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

  • 26 -

KALGOORLIE-BOULDER RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.

  • (o) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obligated to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

  • (p) Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities that are yield related are included as part of the carrying amount of the loans and borrowings.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.

(q) Employee benefits

Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

  • (r) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the economic 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.

(s) Provision for restoration and rehabilitation

A provision for restoration and rehabilitation is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of exploration, development, production, transportation or storage activities undertaken, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably. The estimated future obligation include the costs of removing facilities and restoring the affected areas.

The provision for future restoration costs is the best estimate of the present value of the expenditure required to settle the restoration obligation at the reporting date, based on current legal and other requirements and technology. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the restoration provision at each reporting date.

The initial estimate of the restoration and rehabilitation provision relation to exploration and development is capitalised into the cost of the related asset and amortised on the same basis as the related asset, unless the present obligations arises form the production of inventory in the period, in which case the amount is included in the cost of production for the period. Changes in the estimate of the provision for restoration and rehabilitation are treated in the same manner,

  • 27 -

KALGOORLIE-BOULDER RESOURCES LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

except that the unwinding of the effect of discounting on the provision is recognised as a finance cost rather than being capitalised into the cost of the related asset.

(t) Share-based payment transactions

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with other parties are measured at the 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 the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.

(u) Revenue

Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards of ownership are considered passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer.

Interest income

Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

(v) Income tax

The charge for current income tax expenses is based on the results for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the Income Statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax income will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

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

(w) Goods and services tax (GST)

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007

Cash flows are presented in the Cash Flow Statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(x) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any 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 earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, 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 revenue or expenses during the period that would result form 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.

(y) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the consolidated entity.

Key estimates – impairment

The consolidated entity assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

Impairment loss

The directors determined that facts and circumstances exist at balance date which suggest that the carrying amount of the Company’s subsidiary’s oil and gas exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount (refer to Note 10). Adopting a conservative approach, the directors provided for impairment of 100% of the carrying amount of the oil and gas exploration and evaluation asset as an impairment loss. Consequently, the subsidiary recorded a net deficiency in assets which provided facts and circumstances which suggest the carrying amount of the Company’s receivable from the subsidiary may exceed its recoverable amount and have provided for impairment of the receivable accordingly.

The ultimate recoupment of costs carried forward for exploration and evaluation phase is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective areas.

Impairment loss

The Group has drilled one well to date – the Wilson #3-10. Drilling commenced in March 2006 and several hydrocarbon bearing formations presented in the well bore. The initial zone tested was the deepest of the hydrocarbon bearing formations, the Wilcox Sandstone. The testing of the Wilcox Sandstone has not resulted in economic production of oil or gas. The directors continue to explore alternatives to realise value from this asset.

The directors determined that facts and circumstances exist at balance date which suggest that the carrying amount of the Group’s oil and gas exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. Adopting a conservative approach, the directors decided to provide for impairment of 100% of the carrying amount as an impairment loss.

Foreign currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The group was exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the amount payable, denominated in US dollars, for the acquisition of the oil and gas assets in the United States of America. The amount payable in US dollars had a short maturity and the group did not hedge this exposure.

The group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arsing from the sale and purchase of goods and services in currencies other than the group’s measurement currency.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date in relation to each class of recognised financial asset is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements. The group, while exposed to credit related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments, does not expect that any counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

The group does not have a significant exposure to any individual counterparty.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. The group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.

Fair Values

The net fair value is the amount for which the asset could be exchanged or the liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction after allowing for transaction costs.

The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximates their net fair values.

KALGOORLIE-BOULDER RESOURCES LTD ABN 48 106 732 487

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

STATEMENT

The Board of Directors of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Resources Ltd (‘Company’) is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of the Company, on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.

The Company aspires to best practice levels of corporate governance in accordance with the Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations as issued by the ASX Corporate Governance Council in March 2003 (‘ASX Guidelines’). Some of these policies and procedures are summarised in this report. Commensurate with the spirit of the ASX Guidelines, the Company has followed each Recommendation where the Board has considered the Recommendation to be appropriate. Where, after due consideration, the Company’s corporate governance practices depart from the Recommendations, the Board has offered full disclosure of the nature of, and reason for, the adoption of its own practice.

Further information about the Company’s corporate governance practices is set out on the Company’s website at www.kalgoorlieboulderres.com.au. In accordance with the recommendations of the ASX, information published on the Company’s website includes charters, codes of conduct and other policies and procedures relating to the Board and its responsibilities.

EXPLANATION FOR DEPARTURES FROM BEST PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS

During the year ended 30 June 2007 the Company has complied with each of the Ten Essential Corporate Governance Principles and the corresponding Best Practice Recommendations as published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (‘ASX Principles and Recommendations’), other than in relation to the matters specified below.

Principle 2 Recommendation 2.1

Notification of Departure:

The Board is not comprised of a majority of independent Directors. Two of the five Directors (Michael Atkins and David Prentice) satisfy the test of independence as set out in Box 2.1 of the ASX Corporate Governance Council Practice Recommendations.

Explanation for Departure:

Given the size and scope of the Company’s operations, the Board considers that is appropriately structured to discharge its duties in a manner that is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders from both a long-term strategic and day-to-day operations perspective. The need for access to supporting equity and skills as required, and a flexible cost structure have been greater imperatives for the Company as an exploration company, than the largely mutually exclusive concept of independence, which is much more relevant to larger corporations with substantial workforces. However, the Company continues to assess the need to enhance the membership of the Board and is cognisant of the ASX Corporate Governance Council definitions and recommendations.

Principle 2 Recommendation 2.1

Notification of Departure:

The position of chief executive officer within the Company is vacant with the duties of the chief executive officer being fulfilled by certain non-executive directors, including the chairman, and the executives of the Company.

Explanation for Departure:

The Company is in the process of acquiring the services of a chief executive officer with experience in exploration and mine development.

We have also audited the remuneration disclosures contained in the directors’ report. As permitted by the Corporations Regulations 2001 , the company has disclosed information about the remuneration of directors and executives (“remuneration disclosures”), required by Accounting Standard AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures , under the heading “remuneration report” in pages 9 to 13 of the directors’ report and not in the financial report.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report and the AASB 124 remuneration disclosure contained in the directors’ report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 . This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances . In Note 2, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that compliance with Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The directors of the company are also responsible for the remuneration disclosures contained in the directors’ report.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report and the remuneration disclosures contained in the directors’ report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report and the remuneration disclosures contained in the directors’ report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

As a result of the matters referred to in Note 2 “Going Concern” to the financial statements, there is significant uncertainty whether the entity will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.
