Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Chairman’s Address
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Directors, I am pleased to present to you Minbos Resources Limited’s (“Minbos” or “the Company”) Annual Report to shareholders for the year ended 30 June 2011.
Following our successful listing on October 18, 2010 and completion of the acquisition of 100% of Tunan Mining Limited, the Company secured potentially world class phosphate prospects in the Cabinda province of Angola and in contiguous leases in the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC"). A total of $8 million was raised which allowed the Company to immediately begin planning and implementing its drilling programs.
This exploration has resulted in significant success at our Cabinda phosphate deposits. Six previously explored areas were drilled and assayed and the results confirmed the potential of the historical drilling and test work previously undertaken in the 1960-1980's period. Based on this data, Coffey Mining opined the province has an exploration target of between 333-538 million tonnes ("Mt") grading between 10-20% P2O5.
Our drilling commenced in November 2010 and 20,000m of aircore drilling have been completed to-date. The initial program focussed on the Mongo Tando deposit and the Company recently was pleased to announce an upgrade of its inferred resource to 117 Mt grading 13.6% P2O5. Importantly, bench scale test work demonstrated that ore grading 8.5% is readily upgraded to +34% P2O5 concentrate at a recovery of 62%.
Drilling then focussed upon our remaining prospects and results for both Cacata and Chivovo have shown large deposits of high grade, potentially direct shipping ore at shallow depths. Post year end we announced that Cacata had an Indicated resource of 22.5 Mt at 21.4% P2O5, including a high grade zone of 6.8 Mt at 32.3% P2O5, which highlights the potential to produce a Direct Shipping Ore (“DSO”) from the region. These results were considered so encouraging we initiated a scoping study to define the commercial potential of Cacata as a standalone project.
The remaining deposits in Cabinda are still under examination and results and resource estimates for these are due for release in the 4th quarter of 2011.
The first phase of our Kanzi drilling program in the DRC was also undertaken with results confirming historical drilling data with respect to phosphate mineralisation thickness (average 8.6 metres) and grades (average 15.4% P2O5).
The Board is justifiably proud of our team who have steered the Company through the initial development of the Cabinda and Kanzi Project areas which, as demonstrated above, have the potential to transform the Company into a significant producer of phosphate concentrates. Such is the potential to add significantly to the resource stated above, downstream processing of these concentrates remains an option for the company to pursue.
The efforts of our team and that of the Project group lead by our partner, Petril Projects Ltd, have not been without their challenges, with the Angolan wet season posing many pitfalls and delays. The achievements of the Company over the past year would not have occurred without the dedication and efforts of our Chief Executive Officer, Robbie McCrae and our site-based management, employees and contractors for whom I am most thankful and appreciative.
To you, our Shareholders, I thank you on behalf of the Board for your support and belief in the Company.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Richards Executive Chairman

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Review of Operations
1.1 GROUP OVERVIEW
Minbos Resources Limited was incorporated on 17 December 2009 and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) on 18 October 2010 (ASX code: MNB). Minbos is a Company limited by shares that is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The information presented in this section is applicable to the year ended 30 June 2011 and up until the date of this report being lodged with the ASX.
The Company successfully raised A$8,000,000 under its initial public offering to fund exploration and prefeasibility work on its undeveloped rock phosphate prospects in the Cabinda Province of Republic of Angola and the contiguous areas across the border western part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) (See Figure 1). Since listing and up to reporting date, the Group has used its funds in accordance with the business objectives stated in its prospectus. It is the intention of the Company to continue to use funds on the ongoing development of its current projects and in accordance with its business objectives as stated in the prospectus.
==> picture [397 x 331] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 1: Project Locations
At the time of the listing Coffey Mining defined an exploration target of 333Mt to 538Mt grading 10% to 20% of phosphate bearing material located within the Cabinda licence area with further exploration potential in adjacent DRC licences and applications.
The Company’s projects have the added benefit of minimal infrastructure requirement to reach markets and being strategically located adjacent to existing road and port infrastructure, thereby providing major operating cost advantages over competitors.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Review of Operations
The Cabinda Project – History and Ownership
The Cabinda project license area covers an area of approximately 200,000 hectares and covers all the known and historically explored phosphate prospects in Cabinda.
Historical work was completed by Companhia de Fosfatos de Angola (“COFAN”) during the period 1969 to 1973 and then during the early 1980’s by Energo from Bulgaria. The work included over 45,000 metres of drilling, which identified 6 orebodies within the license area, and preliminary metallurgical test work. Based on this historical work an exploration target of 333Mt to 538Mt at approximately 10% to 20% P2O5 was defined for the project by Coffey Mining[1] .
The Cabinda project is held in a 50:50 equally contributing JV between Minbos and Petril Projects Ltd.
The DRC Project - History and Ownership
The DRC project exploration licences and applications cover an area of approximately 200,000 hectares and host the previously drilled Kanzi and Fundu-Nzobe prospects. The tenements lie contiguous to the eastern portion of Minbos’ licences in Cabinda and are a direct extension of the Cacata prospect. Historical work included approximately 4,000 metres of drilling and some initial metallurgical testwork.
Minbos own 100% of 2 granted exploration licenses and have 6 pending applications in the area (see Figure 2).
==> picture [292 x 366] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 2: DRC licence applications.
1 The exploration target being reported is conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource under JORC Code guidelines. However, this target is based on assessments of prospects within Minbos’ tenure which are supported by drilling, geological studies, imagery analysis, metallurgical test-work and preliminary modelling.

Review of Operations
1.2 CABINDA PROJECT OVERVIEW
Current Exploration
- (a) Mongo Tando deposit – Maiden JORC Compliant Inferred Resource of 117Mt @ 13.6% announced in June 2011
Mongo Tando was the focus of the historical exploration and hence was the 1[st] deposit drilled by Minbos. A total of 134 drill holes for 6,700 metres were drilled during the period from November 2010 through to January 2011. This drilling formed the basis for the maiden JORC compliant inferred resource which was announced in June 2011 of 117Mt @ 13.6% P2O5. Post this announcement a detailed review of the resource was carried out and additional areas were identified for infill drilling which was subsequently carried out; this drilling has the potential to significantly increase the resource estimate.

(b) Cacata deposit – Indicated resource of 22.5Mt @ 21.4% P2O5 - High Grade, DSO Potential
Three holes were drilled on Cacata during December of 2010 before the drilling program was halted for the scheduled wet season break; the results from the three holes demonstrated the high grade potential of the deposit (see Figure 4). These results were as follows:
-
6m to 23m, 17 metres grading 29.1% P205 including an interval of 10 metres grading 32.5% P205;
-
30m to 56m, 26 metres grading 23% P205 including an interval of 10 metres grading 31.32% P205;
-
2m to 18m, 16 metres grading 26.3% P205 including an interval of 10 metres grading 30.21% P205.
==> picture [318 x 431] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 4: Cacata Deposit
Drilling then recommenced at Cacata prospect during May 2011 with an additional 59 holes for a total of 2,561 metres.
Post 30 June 2011, Minbos published an indicated resource of 22.5Mt @ 21.4% P205 and commenced a scoping study to assess the economics of developing a standalone phosphate rock export operation.

Review of Operations
(c) Chivovo and Cambota deposits – Additional High Grade potential
Post the 2011 year end, a 500 metres drill program was carried out on Chivovo to test for the high grade potential documented in historical data. A short program was also carried on Cambota, which lies on strike between Cacata and Chivovo to test its high grade potential.
(d) Ueca and Chibuete deposits – Growing the Cabinda resources
Ueca was the 2[nd] deposit to be drilled by Minbos; a first program was completed in November 2010 and after receiving results from this initial drilling a second program was approved and completed post 2011 year end.
The first drilling program comprised 41 holes for a total of 4,168 metres. The mineralisation identified comprised an orebody of 6.3 kilometres long, 400 metres wide and an average mineralisation thickness of 12.5 metres.
Chibuete was the 5[th] deposit to be drilled by Minbos. The drilling program on Chibuete comprised 61 holes for a total of 4,168 metres. The mineralisation identified comprised an orebody of 8.0 kilometres long, 500 metres wide and an average mineralisation thickness of 36 metres. See Figure 5.

A Remuneration Philosophy
Key management personnel have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company. Key management personnel comprise the Directors, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Geologist of the Company. The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its key management personnel. To prosper the Company must attract, motivate and retain appropriately skilled directors and executives. The Company’s broad remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the highest quality.
B Remuneration Policy and Structure
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of NED and Executive remuneration is separate and distinct. The Board has not established a Remuneration Committee at this point in the
17 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Directors’ Report
Company’s development. It is considered that the size of the Board along with the level of activity of the Company renders this impractical and the full Board considers in detail all of the matters for which the directors are responsible.
Non-Executive remuneration policy
Remuneration to all Directors is by way of fees, with the level of such fees having been set by the Board to an amount it considers to be commensurate for a company of its size and level of activity. There is currently no link between performance and remuneration. Further there are no schemes for retirement benefits in existence.
Non-Executives (“NED’s) are paid consulting fees on time spent on Company business, including reasonable expenses incurred by them on business of the Company, details of which are contained in the Remuneration Table disclosed as Section D of this Report. Remuneration of NED’s is based on fees approved by the Board of Directors and is set at levels to reflect market conditions and encourage the continued service of the Directors.
NED’s are encouraged by the Board to hold shares in the Company (purchased by the Director on market). It is considered good governance for Directors to have a stake in the Company upon whose Board he or she sits.
Non-Executive remuneration structure
Since listing on the ASX up to the end of the reporting period, the Non-Executive Directors have received combined fees totalling $120,500. The Board, in accordance with the Company’s constitution and the ASX listing rules specify that the NED fee pool shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The latest determination was at the 2010 Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 30 November 2010 when shareholders approved an aggregate fee pool of $300,000 per year (in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Explanatory Statement that accompanied the Notice of Meeting). The Board will not seek any increase for the NED pool at the 2011 Annual General Meeting.
Payment of Directors’ fees for Messrs Reeves, Ciganek and Catulichi took effect from the Company’s listing date, and Mr Ismail’s fee took effect from January 2010 following his appointment. The remuneration of Non-Executives are detailed in Table 1. Details of NED’s contracts are disclosed in “Section D – Remuneration Arrangements”.
Executive remuneration policy
The Group aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group and aligned with market practice.
Executive remuneration and incentive policies and practices must be aligned with the Company’s vision, values and overall business objectives. Executive remuneration and incentive policies and practices must be designed to motivate the directors and management to pursue the Company’s long term growth and success and demonstrate a clear relationship between the Company’s overall performance and the performance of executives.
The Company undertakes an annual remuneration review to determine the total remuneration positioning against the market.
Executive remuneration structure
Executive contracts are reviewed annually by the Board, in the absence of a Remuneration Committee, for their approval. The process consists of a review of company, business unit and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration internally and externally and, where appropriate, external advice
18 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Directors’ Report
independent of management. The nature and amount of remuneration of executives are assessed on a periodic basis with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high performing Director and executive team.
The main objectives sought when reviewing executive remuneration is that the Company has:
-
coherent remuneration policies and practices to attract and retain executives;
-
directors who will create value for shareholders;
-
competitive remuneration offered benchmarked against the external market; and
-
fair and responsible rewards to executives having regard to the performance of the Company, the performance of the executives and the general pay environment.
The Board approves the remuneration arrangements of the CEO and executives. The remuneration of Executives is detailed in Table 1. Details of Executive contracts are disclosed in “Section D – Remuneration Arrangements”.
C Remuneration & Performance
Director and Executive remuneration is currently not linked to either long term or short term performance conditions. The Board feels that the expiry date and exercise price of the options currently on issue to the Directors and Executives is a sufficient, long term incentive (LTI) to align the goals of the Directors and Executives with those of the shareholders to maximise shareholders wealth, and as such, has not set any performance conditions for the Directors or the Executives of the Company. The Board will continue to monitor this policy to ensure that it is appropriate for the Company in future years.
(a) Variable remuneration – short term incentive (STI)
Objective
The Company does not currently have an STI program in place. However, if the Company were to look toward implementing a STI plan it would be to link the achievement of the Group’s operational targets with the remuneration received by the Executives with meeting those targets. The total potential STI available would be set at a level so as to provide sufficient incentive to the Executive to achieve the operational targets.
Given the small number of Executives and the need for them to be flexible and multi-tasked there is no formal process currently in place for defining Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) and setting targets against the KPI’s. Due to the absence of any set KPI’s the existing remuneration is not linked to Company Performance. As such there were no STI-based payments made during the financial year.
(b) Variable remuneration – long term incentive (LTI)
Objective
The objective of creating LTI’s is to reward executives in a manner which aligns the element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. As such LTI’s are made to executives who are able to influence the generation of shareholder wealth and thus have an impact on the Group’s performance.
Structure
LTI grants to executives are delivered in the form of Director options, employee share options and contractor options. These options are issued at an exercise price determined by the Board at the time of issue.
The employee share options are generally issued in accordance with an Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”); however certain unlisted options issued to Executives were issued outside of the Plan.
19 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Directors’ Report
Directors Options issued to members of the Board on 13 October 2010 were issued prior to the Company’s listing on the ASX on 18 October 2010 and options issued after listing were under the Company’s 15% Facility. Since listing, 600,000 employee options and consultancy options were issued under the Company’s 15% Facility.
To date, 8,600,000 options have been issued to Directors, other Key Management Personnel and Executives. Details of options granted during the financial year are set out in Table 2.
The issue of options are not linked to performance conditions because by setting the option price at a level above the current share price at the time the options are granted, provides incentive for management to improve the Company’s performance. There were no options exercised during the year. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share of the Company.
Typically, the grant of LTI’s occurs at the commencement of employment or in the event that the individual receives a promotion and, as such, is not subsequently affected by the individual’s performance over time. However, under certain circumstances, including breach of employment conditions, the Directors may cause the options to expire prior to their vesting date. In addition, individual performance is more commonly rewarded over time through the STI program.
Table 2 provides details of LTI options granted, Table 3 provides details of the value of options granted, exercised and lapsed during the year; and Table 4 provides details on the value of options not yet vested.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Corporate Governance Statement
The Board of Directors of Minbos Resources Limited (the “Company” or “Minbos”) is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of Minbos on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable. To ensure that the Board is well equipped to discharge its responsibilities, it has established guidelines for the nomination and selection of directors and for the operation of the Board.
COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD
The composition of the Board is determined in accordance with the following principles and guidelines:
-
the Board should comprise at least three directors and it intends to establish a majority of nonexecutive directors;
-
the Chairman should be a non-executive director, although this has not yet been achieved;
-
the Board should comprise directors with an appropriate range of qualifications and expertise; and
-
the Board shall meet at regular intervals and follow meeting guidelines set down to ensure all directors are made aware of, and have available all necessary information, to participate in an informed discussion of all agenda items.
When a vacancy exists, through whatever cause, or where it is considered that the Board would benefit from the service of a new director with particular skills, the Board selects a candidate or panel of candidates with the appropriate expertise. The Board then appoints the most suitable candidate, who must stand for election at the next general meeting of shareholders. The Company does not have a formal Nomination Committee.
REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
Due to the size and scale of its operations, the Company currently does not have a separate committee to deal with the remunerations of current and new directors. Currently the roles and responsibilities of a Remuneration Committee are undertaken by the full Board. Remuneration levels are set by the Board in accordance with industry standards to attract suitable qualified and experienced directors and senior executives.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Company is not of a size that justifies having a separate Audit Committee. However, matters typically dealt with by such a committee are dealt with by the full Board.
BOARD RESPONSIBILITIES
As the Board acts on behalf of and is accountable to the shareholders, it seeks to identify the expectations of the shareholders, as well as other regulatory and ethical expectations and obligations. In addition, the Board is responsible for identifying areas of significant business risk and ensuring arrangements are in place to adequately manage those risks. The Board seeks to discharge these responsibilities in a number of ways.
The responsibility for the operation and administration of the Company is delegated by the Board to the Chief Executive Officer. The Board ensures that the Chief Executive Officer is appropriately qualified and experienced to discharge his responsibilities, and has in place procedures to assess the performance for the Company’s officers, contractors and consultants.
The Board is responsible for ensuring that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the expectations and risks identified by the Board. It has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure this is achieved, including the following:
-
Board approval of a strategic plan, designed to meet shareholder needs and manage business risk;
-
implementation of operating plans and budgets by management and Board monitoring progress against budget; and
-
procedures to allow directors, in the furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expenses.

Corporate Governance Statement
MONITORING OF THE BOARD’S PERFORMANCE AND COMMUNICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS
In order to ensure that the Board continues to discharge its responsibilities in an appropriate manner, the performance of Non-Executive Directors are reviewed annually by the Chairman; and the Chairman is reviewed by the rest of Board.

The Best Practice Recommendations are not mandatory. However, the Company will be required to provide a statement in its future annual reports disclosing the extent to which the Company has followed the Best Practice Recommendations.
The Board of the Company currently has in place a comprehensive Corporate Governance Plan, which has been posted in a dedicated corporate governance information section on the Company’s website at www.minbos.com.

Corporate Governance Statement
2.1 a Comment pertaining to Principle 2 – Structure the Board to add value
The Company recognises that independent Directors are important in assuring shareholders that the Board is properly fulfilling its role and is diligent in holding senior management accountable for its performance.
Directors of Minbos Resources Limited are considered to be independent when they are independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement.
In making this assessment, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances. Relationships that the Board will take into consideration when assessing independence are whether a Director:
-
is a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company;
-
is employed, or has previously been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another Company member, and there has not been a period of at least three years between ceasing such employment and serving on the Board;
-
has within the last three years been a principal of a material professional advisor or a material consultant to the Company or another Company member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided;
-
is a material supplier or customer of the Company or other Company member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer; or
-
has a material contractual relationship with the Company or another Company member other than as a Director.
Mr Ismail previously, through his private company Otsana Capital, had dealings with the Company as the Financial Arranger to the Company’s Initial Public Offering in September 2010. Mr Ismail also held the position as Executive Chairman when the Company was incorporated in December 2009. The Company was a shell and had no assets at this time. In light of the abovementioned details pertaining to Mr Ismail, the Company has considered all relevant facts and does not believe that this has adversely or significantly affected Mr Ismail’s current independent status as non-executive director, a position that he has held for the entire 2011 financial year.
Currently the Chairman holds an executive position on the Board and Messrs Reeves and Catulichi hold more than 5% of the shares in the Company, therefore deeming them to be not independent.
The Company intends to seek out and appoint independent directors to the Board however, believes that the Company is not of sufficient size to warrant the inclusion of more independent non-executive Directors in order to meet the ASX recommendation of maintaining a majority of independent non-executive Directors. The Company maintains a mix of Directors from different backgrounds with complementary skills and experience.
| 2.4 | The board should establish a nomination committee. |
The Company is not of a size at the moment that justifies having a separate Nomination Committee. However, matters typically dealt with by such a committee are dealt with by the Board of Directors. |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5 | Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors. |
The Board has outlined its process for performance evaluation in the Directors’ Report contained within this Annual Report. |

The address of the Company’s registered office is Suite 2, Level 3, 1292 Hay Street, West Perth, WA 6005. The address of the Company’s representative office in Johannesburg is 42 Kyalami Boulevard, Kyalami Business Park, Kyalami, Johannesburg, South Africa. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2011 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘consolidated entity’ or the ‘Group’). The Group is primarily involved in phosphate exploration in Africa.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of Compliance
The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (‘AASBs’) (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial report of the consolidated entity also complies with IFRSs and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Separate financial statements for Minbos Resources Limited, as an individual entity, are no longer presented as a consequence of a change to the Corporations Act 2001. Financial information for Minbos Resources Limited as an individual entity is included in note 23.
The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 29 September 2011.
(b) Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars. The functional and presentation currency of the Company is Australian dollars. The functional currency of the subsidiaries are United States dollars (USD) and South African Rand.
- (c) Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on a 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.
During the year the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of for the year of ($2,481,251) and incurred net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of ($3,342,095).
The ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent on the consolidated entity being able to raise additional funds as required to meet ongoing exploration commitments and for working capital. The Directors believe that they will be able to raise additional capital as required and are in the process of evaluating the consolidated entity’s cash requirements. The Directors believe that the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern. As a result the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. However should the consolidated entity be unsuccessful in undertaking additional raisings the consolidated entity may not be able to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.
(d) Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and
41 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. 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 about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These accounting policies have been consistently applied by each entity in the consolidated entity.
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 current and future periods. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in the following notes:
-
(i) Note 21 – Share-based payment arrangements - The Group measures the cost of equity settled share based payments at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes model taking into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date, the expected volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and risk free interest rate for the term of the option.
-
(ii) Note 15 – Exploration & evaluation expenditure - The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation is set out in note 3(e). If, after having capitalised expenditure under this policy, the Directors conclude that the Group is unlikely to recover the expenditure by future exploration or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
-
(iii)Note 8 – Income Taxes – The Group is subject to income taxes in Australia, Angola and Democratic Republic of Congo. Significant judgement is required when determining the Group’s provision for income taxes. The Group estimates its tax liabilities based on the Group’s understanding of the tax law.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The consolidated financial statements are prepared by combining the financial statements of all the entities that comprise the Consolidated Entity, being Minbos Resources Limited (“Company” or “Parent Entity”) and its subsidiaries as defined in AASB 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. Consistent accounting policies are employed in the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
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. Acquisitions of entities are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-company balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.
Non-controlling interests' in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position respectively. Total comprehensive
42 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
income is attributable to the owners of Minbos Resources Limited and non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a debit balance.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial report of Minbos Resources Limited.
(ii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
All intra-group balances and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates and jointly controlled entities are eliminated to the extent of the consolidated entity’s interest in the entity with adjustments made to the ‘Investment in Associates’ and ‘Share of Associates Net Profit’ accounts.
Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Gains and losses are recognised as the contributed assets are consumed or sold by the associate or, if not consumed or sold by the associate, when the consolidated entity’s interest in such entity is disposed of.
(iii) Changes in ownership interests
The group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interest in the subsidiary. Any differences between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Minbos Resources Ltd.
When the group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, jointly controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
If the ownership in a jointly controlled entity or an associate is reduced, but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where appropriate.
(b) Comparatives
Prior period comparatives are for the period from incorporation being 17 December 2009 to 30 June 2010.
- (c) Foreign currency
(i) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the Statement of Financial Position date are translated to Australian dollars at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated to Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined.
43 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(ii) Financial statements of foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on consolidation, are translated to Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the Statement of Financial Position date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to Australian dollars at rates approximating to the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign exchange differences arising on retranslation are recognised directly in other comprehensive income via the foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR), as a separate component of equity.
(iii) Net investment in foreign operations
Exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and of related effective hedges are taken to translation reserve and released into the Statement of Comprehensive Income upon disposal. When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the FCTR is transferred to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.
(d) Financial instruments
(i) Non-derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs, except as described below. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.
A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.
(ii) Subsequent measurement
Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in note 5.
(iii) Impairment
The group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the assets (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost it considered an indicator that the assets are impaired.
44 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(i) Assets carried at amortised cost
For loans and receivables, the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement. If a loan or held-to maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate or measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement.
(e) Property, plant and equipment
(i) Owned assets
Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation (see below) and impairment losses (see accounting policy (i)).
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of selfconstructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a work condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components).
(ii) Subsequent costs
The consolidated entity recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the item will flow to the consolidated entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as an expense as incurred.
(iii) Depreciation
With the exception of freehold land and mineral property and development assets, depreciation is charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income using a diminishing value method over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Land is not depreciated. Mineral property and development assets are depreciated on the units of production basis over the life of the economically recoverable reserves.
The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows:
- Plant and equipment 2.5 to 10 years
The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are reassessed at least annually.
45 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(f) Exploration and development expenditure
(i) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs, which are intangible costs, including the costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the consolidated entity has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and either:
-
(i) the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest; or
-
(ii) activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or other wise 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 assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from intangible assets to mineral property and development assets within property, plant and equipment.
(ii) Development expenditure
Development costs are accumulated in respect of each separate area of interest. Development costs related to an area of interest are carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped either through sale or successful exploitation of the area of interest.
When an area of interest is abandoned or the Directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated cost in respect of that area is written off in the financial period the decision is made. Each area of interest is reviewed at the end of each accounting period and accumulated cost written off to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the future. Impairment of assets is discussed in Note 3(i).
Amortisation is not charged on costs carried forward in respect of areas of interest in the development phase until production commences. When production commences, carried forward exploration and development costs are amortised on a units of production basis over the life of economically recoverable reserves.
Development assets are assessed for impairment if facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount (see impairment accounting policy 3(i)). For the purposes of impairment testing, development assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the development activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.
(g) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, short term bills and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the consolidated entity’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.
46 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(h) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are recorded at amounts due less any allowance for doubtful debts.
(i) Other financial assets
The Group classifies its other financial assets in the following categories: loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the other financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its other financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the Statement of Financial Position date which are classified as non-current assets.
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost, net of any impairment losses in the Parent entity’s financial statements (see note 3(c)(iii)).
(j) Impairment
The carrying amounts of the consolidated entity’s assets, other than exploration assets (see accounting policy (e)), and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each Statement of Financial Position date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
For goodwill, assets that have an indefinite useful life and intangible assets that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at each Statement of Financial Position date.
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income unless the asset has previously been revalued, in which case the impairment loss is recognised as a reversal to the extent of that previous revaluation with any excess recognised through profit or loss.
Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
(i) Calculation of recoverable amount
The recoverable amount of the consolidated entity’s receivables carried at amortised cost is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these financial assets). Receivables with a short duration are not discounted.
Impairment of receivables is not recognised until objective evidence is available that a loss event has occurred. Significant receivables are individually assessed for impairment. Impairment testing of significant receivables that are not assessed as impaired individually is performed by placing them into portfolios of significant receivables with similar risk profiles and undertaking a collective assessment of impairment. Non-significant receivables are not individually assessed. Instead, impairment testing is performed by placing non-significant receivables in portfolios of similar risk profiles, based on objective evidence from historical experience adjusted for any effects of conditions existing at each reporting date.
The recoverable amount of other assets is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
47 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
(ii) Reversals of impairment
Impairment losses, other than in respect of goodwill, are reversed when there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimate used to determine the recoverable amount.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
(k) Business Combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, including business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the group. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquire and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the group’s share of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts 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. Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
(l) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.
If the entity reacquires its own equity instruments, for example as a result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised
48 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
in the profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity.
(m) Dividends
Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are paid and appropriately authorised.
(n) Employee Benefits
(i) Share-based payment transactions
The share option program allows the consolidated entity employees and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee or consultant expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest except where forfeiture is only due to share prices not achieving the threshold for vesting.
Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
(ii) Wages, salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to reporting date, are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the consolidated entity expects to pay as at reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax.
(o) Provisions
A provision is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when the consolidated entity has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
(i) Site restoration
In accordance with the consolidated entity’s environmental policy and applicable legal requirements, a provision for site restoration in respect of contaminated land is recognised when the land is contaminated.
The provision 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 requirements and technology. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes are reflected in the present value of the restoration provision at the end of the reporting period.
The amount of the provision for future restoration costs is capitalised and is depreciated over the useful life of the mineral reserve. The unwinding of the effect of discounting on the provision is recognised as a finance cost.
49 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(p) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are non-interest bearing liabilities stated at cost and settled within 30 days.
(q) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for the bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(r) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Net financial income
Net financial income comprise interest payable on borrowings calculated using the effective interest method, interest income on funds invested, dividend income and foreign exchange gains and losses.
Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as it accrues, using the effective interest method.
Management fees – The right of the Company to receive the management fee must exist.
(s) Income tax
The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax losses, at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities settled based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. Exceptions are made for certain temporary differences arising on initial recognition of an asset or a liability if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit.
Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary difference and losses.
50 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax base of investments in subsidiaries, associated and interests in joint ventures where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Current and deferred tax balances relating to amounts recognised directly in other comprehensive income are also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
- (t) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers. The chief operating decision makers, who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, have been identified as the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer, Mr Robert McCrae.
(u) Goods and Services Tax
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.
(v) New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The following new standards and amendments to standards are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2011:
-
AASB 2009-5 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project;
-
AASB 2009-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions;
-
AASB 2009-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Classification of Rights Issues; and
-
AASB 2010-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project.
(w) New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2011 reporting periods and have not yet been applied in the financial report. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.
- AASB 2010-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Disclosures on Transfers of Financial Assets (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011). Amendments made to AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures in November 2010, introduce additional disclosures in respect of risk exposures arising from transferred financial assets. The amendments are not expected
51 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
to have any significant impact on the Group’s disclosures. The Group intends to apply the amendment from 1 July 2011.
-
AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (effective for the annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). AASB 10 introduces certain changes to the consolidation principles, including the concept of de facto control and changes in relation to the special purpose entities. The Group is continuing to assess the impact of the standard.
-
AASB 11 Joint Arrangements (effective for the annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). AASB 11 introduces certain changes to the accounting for joint arrangements. Joint arrangements will be classified as either joint operations (where parties with joint control have rights to assets and obligations for liabilities) or joint ventures (where parties with joint control have rights to the net assets of the arrangement). Joint arrangements structured as a separate vehicle will generally be treated as joint ventures and accounted for using the equity method. The Group is continuing to assess the impact of the standard.
-
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). AASB 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value of financial and nonfinancial items recognised at fair value on the balance sheet or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The Group is continuing to assess the impact of the standard.

AASB 2011-9 Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2013). AASB 101, amended in June 2011, introduces amendments to align the presentation items of other comprehensive income with US GAAP. The Group will apply the amended standard from 1 July 2013. When the standard is first adopted, there will be changes to the presentation of the statement of comprehensive income. However, there will be no impact on any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

AASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011). AASB 1054, issued in May 2011, moves additional Australian specific disclosure requirements for for-profit entities from various Australian Accounting Standards into this Standard as a result of Trans-Tasman Convergence Project. AASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures removes the requirement to disclose each class of capital commitments contracted for at the end of the reporting period (other than commitments for the supply of inventories). When the standard is adopted for the first time for the financial year ending 30 June 2012, the financial statements will no longer include disclosures about capital and other expenditure commitments as these are no longer required by AASB 1054.

AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2013 but is available for early adoption. The Group is continuing to assess its full impact.

Revised AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures and AASB 2009-12 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011). In December 2009 the AASB issued a revised AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures. It is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 and must be applied retrospectively. The amendment clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party. The Group will apply the amended standard from 1 July 2011. When the amendments are applied, The Group will need to

AASB 1053 Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards and AASB 2010-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Reduced Disclosure Requirements (effective from 1 July 2013). On 30 June 2010 the AASB officially introduced a revised differential reporting framework in Australia. Under this framework, a two-tier differential reporting regime applies to all entities that prepare general purpose financial statements. The Group is listed on the ASX and is not eligible to adopt the new Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements. The two standards will therefore have no impact on the financial statements of the entity.
-
AASB 2010-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets (effective from 1 January 2012). In December 2010, the AASB amended AASB 112 Income Taxes to provide a practical approach for measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets when investment property is measured using the fair value model. AASB 112 requires the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the way management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the relevant assets or liabilities, that is through use or through sale. The amendment introduces a rebuttable presumption that investment property which is measured at fair value is recovered entirely by sale. The amendment is not expected to have any significant impact on The Group’s financial statements. The Group intends to apply the amendment from 1 July 2012.
-
AASB 119 - Elimination of the ‘corridor’ approach for deferring gains/losses for defined benefit plans, actuarial gains/losses on remeasuring the defined benefit plan obligation/asset to be recognised in OCI rather than in profit or loss, and cannot be reclassified in subsequent periods, subtle amendments to timing for recognition of liabilities for termination benefits, and employee benefits expected to be settled (as opposed to due to settled under current standard) within 12 months after the end of the reporting period are short-term benefits, and therefore not discounted when calculating leave liabilities. Annual leave not expected to be used within 12 months of end of reporting period will in future be discounted when calculating leave liability. This standard has no impact as there are no annual leave provision amounts that are non-current. The Group will apply this from 1 July 2013.
4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise cash, short-term deposits, receivables, and payables. At the reporting date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities:

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Risk exposures and responses
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risk and assessments of market forecasts for interest rate and foreign exchange prices. Ageing analyses and monitoring of specific credit allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk. Liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future cash flow forecasts.
Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board of Directors because, due to the size of the Company, there is currently no audit committee.
Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s cash at bank held with variable interest rates. The Group does not rely on the generation of interest on cash at bank to provide working capital and as a result does not consider this to be material to the Group and have therefore not undertaken any further analysis of exposure other than the analysis in the table below:
| Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Financial liabilities Interest bearing liabilities Net exposure |
Weighted Average Interest Rate 30-Jun-11 Weighted Average Interest Rate 30-Jun-10 % $ % $ 3.58% 3,254,882 3.75% 825,272 3,254,882 825,272 - - - - - 3,254,882 825,272 |
|---|---|
Within this analysis, consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates. The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date. The 3% increase and 1% decrease in rates is based on reasonably expected possible changes over a financial year, using the observed range of historical rates for the preceding five year period with an emphasis on rates observed during recent years of global financial crisis.
At 30 June 2011, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax losses and equity would have been affected as follows:

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The other financial instruments of the Company that are not included in the above tables are non-interest bearing and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency and net investments in foreign operations.
The Consolidated entity has Australian Dollars as its functional currency. Currently all subsidiary-level expenditure, as a result of exploration occurring in Angola and the DRC as well administration in South Africa, is funded by the Parent Entity which in turn gives rise to foreign currency movements on retranslation of these intercompany loans . Subsequently the Group's statement of financial position can be affected significantly by movements in the ZAR/A$ and US$/A$ exchange rates. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date were as follows:

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2011
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The USD and ZAR movements in loss in 2011 are more sensitive than in 2010 due to the fact that the Company was an individual entity with no subsidiaries as at 30 June 2010; and therefore had no cash and cash equivalents, receivables or payables with foreign currency exposure. Since the 100% acquisition of Tunan Mining Limited and its subsidiaries in October 2010, the Group has since entered into foreign currency transactions and therefore was only exposed to foreign currency risk during the current financial year.
Significant assumptions used in the foreign currency exposure sensitivity analysis include:
-
Reasonably possible movements in foreign exchange rates were determined based on a review of the last two years historical movements whereby there were movements that ranged between 8% and 20%.
-
The reasonably possible movement of 10% was calculated by taking the USD spot rate as at balance date, moving this spot rate by 10% and then re-converting the USD into AUD with the “new spot-rate”. This methodology reflects the translation methodology undertaken by the Group.
-
The sensitivity does not include financial instruments that are non-monetary items as these are not considered to give rise to currency risk.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial liabilities as and when they fall due. The Group manages liquidity risk by continually monitoring cash reserves and cashflow forecasts to ensure that financial commitments can be met as and when they fall due.
The table below reflects the respective undiscounted cash flows for financial liabilities existing at 30 June 2011. The risk implied from the values shown in the table below, reflects a balanced view of cash inflows and outflows. Trade payables and other financial liabilities mainly originate from the financing of assets used in the Group’s ongoing operations such as property, plant, equipment and investments of working capital e.g. trade receivables, prepayments and deposits.

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. During the year credit risk has principally arisen from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with the maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.
The carrying amount of financial assets included in the statement of financial position represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to those assets. The Group does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure. The Group trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Group’s policy to securitise its trade and other receivables. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group does not have a significant exposure to bad debts.
The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group except for cash held with National Australia Bank and various receivables with mostly recognised third parties.
(i) Cash
The Group’s primary banker is National Australia Bank and Standard Bank of South Africa. The Board considers the use of these financial institutions, which has a rating of AA and BBB from Standards and Poor’s, respectively, to be sufficient in the management of credit risk with regards to these funds.
(ii) Trade Debtors
While the Group has policies in place to ensure that transactions with third parties have an appropriate credit history, the management of current and potential credit risk exposures is limited as far as is considered commercially appropriate. Up to the date of this report, the Board has placed no requirement for collateral on existing debtors.
The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates.
Cash at bank and short-term bank deposits:

Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. During the year the Group only held financial instruments that are not traded in active markets. Fair values have been determined for measurement purposes to approximate the cost of the financial instrument. The Company’s Investment in Associate, Mongo Tando Limited, is classified as a level 3 financial asset. Level 3 financial assets are measured with inputs that are not based on observable market data.

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group operates only in one reportable segment being predominately in the area of phosphate mineral exploration in the DRC and Angola, within Africa. The Board considers its business operations in phosphate mineral exploration to be its primary reporting function. Results are analysed as a whole by the chief operating decision maker, this being the Board of Directors. Consequently revenue, profit, net assets and total assets for the operating segment are reflected in this financial report.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The group has Australian carried forward tax losses of $235,876 (tax effected at 30%, $70,763) as at 30 June 2011. In view of the Group's trading position, the Directors have not included this tax benefit in the Group's balance sheet. A tax benefit will only be recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
The tax benefits of the above deferred tax assets will only be obtained if:
-
(a) The consolidated entity derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be utilised;
-
(b) The consolidated entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and
-
(c) No changes in income tax legislation adversely affect the consolidated entity from utilising the benefits.
9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

-
(i) On 13 October 2010 the Company acquired 100% ownership of Tunan Mining Limited BVI and its controlled entities. On acquisition the Company recognised $4,872,694 exploration expenditure attributable to the fair value attributed to tenements acquired as part of the business combination (inclusive of deferred tax liability uplift). Refer to note 22.
-
(ii) During the period since acquisition of Tunan Mining Limited the Company capitalised $1,295,958 in exploration expenditure.
The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitations, or alternatives, sales of the area of interest.

(d) Capital risk management
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Given the stage of the Company’s development there are no formal targets set for return on capital. There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
The net equity of the Company are equivalent to capital. Net capital is obtained through capital raisings on the Australian Securities Exchange.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
- (i) On 29 October 2009, Sociedade de Fosfatos de Angola (“SOFOSA”) together with Terra Fertil Limited (an affiliate of Mongo Tando Holdings (the “Associate”) which holds a 50% holding in Mongo Tando Limited “MTL”), incorporated Mongo Tando Limitada (“Angolan Company”). This Angolan Company currently holds the license (“Cabinda Phosphate Project”) in Cabinda Angola.
On the 9 February 2011, SOFOSA, Terra Fertil, MTL, Mongo Tando Holdings and Tunan Mining Limited entered into a Shareholders Agreement whereby SOFOSA and Terra Fertil restructured the ownership so that the Angolan Company (and holder of the concession) became a whollyowned subsidiary of Mongo Tando Limited, whereby Tunan Mining Limited (BVI) and its Associate each hold a 50% interest.
However, since Tunan Mining Limited holds 49.99% of the "voting rights" in Mongo Tando Limited (BVI), the ownership interest is accounted for as an "Investment in an Associate" in the consolidated annual report. Refer to note 13.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MINBOS RESOURCES LIMITED
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Minbos Resources Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards .
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Minbos Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

Opinion
In our opinion:
-
(a) the financial report of Minbos Resources Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2011 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and
-
(b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 2.
Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2(c) in the financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $2,481,251 during the year ended 30 June 2011. This condition, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2(c), indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and as such realise its assets and liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2011. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Minbos Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2011 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
